The players were given a day off, but Aldridge was working overtime.

In the evening, when it was time for him to rest, Evan knocked on the door and pushed the door in, leaned into the study halfway through, and asked, "Did you see the results of the game?" Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-O at home to advance to the semi-finals. ”

Aldridge was slightly distracted, glanced at the time on the bottom right of the computer screen, realized that the game was over, and said, "No surprises." ”

"Aldrich, watch the time."

"Well, I'll finish my work and go back to my room to rest."

When Evan heard this, he withdrew.

Aldrich's desk is very messy, full of notebooks, tactical books, computers to keep up to date, and a TV two meters away to play the game tape.

However, when he sorted it out, he was in good order, and on a closed notebook page, he drew a 343 formation position map, marking the basic routines of the players' running positions, the route arrows of the offensive and defensive conversion system, and at the top of the page, the name of a country was written: Brazil.

That's right, Aldridge's preparations have already begun to study the Brazilian team, in fact, this is only one of his opponents.

The advantage of having a prophetic memory is that his preparation is targeted, he can not study Spain, Italy, but he will definitely study Brazil, and even, some of them will advance in memory, and may meet England's opponents.

The three opponents in the group, the basic current information, have been studied and prepared in the last three months, and the rest is to follow up and see before the start of the World Cup. Will there be temporary changes? Especially the big changes. For example, the main player is injured, forcing the tactics to change.

The rest of the work is to study the opponents that may be encountered in the future, and this preparation may end up in vain, because England may go home in the group stage, but plan ahead, do it or not. It's better to be prepared than not to be prepared, and the old saying is very true: opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Maybe 1ooo times of preparation, only 1 time comes in handy, but Aldrich will still do these 1ooo times of preparation to deal with it, this is his work habit.

After 5 minutes, the desk was clean and tidy, Aldridge, who was in his pajamas, got up and left, and just turned off the study light and came to the hallway, and Evan also walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas. Hand him the phone and say, "You have the phone." ”

Aldrich took it. It was Villas-Boas who called, and he answered: "Good evening, Vilas, are you going to tell me that our semi-final opponent is Real Madrid, right?" ”

"No, I think you already know that. I want to tell you that David Beckham is injured and I don't know if he will miss the World Cup, he was carried out on a stretcher. ”

Aldrich pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Well, I know. ”

"Good night."

"Good night."

After hanging up the phone, Aldrich held the phone and tapped it in the palm of his hand, and when Evan saw this, he asked with concern, "What happened?" ”

"David Beckham is injured."

Evan frowned and said, "National team? ”

"Yes, I don't know if it will affect the World Cup in the summer, you go back to your room and sleep first, I'll call Ferguson later."

"Well, it's not too late."

Aldrich smiled at her, then kissed her red lips and turned to walk over to the balcony.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, Aldridge looked at the clock on his phone, and estimated that it would take more than ten minutes to get through to Ferguson's phone, the dressing room after the game, interviews and the like, it will take some time, plus Xiaobei is injured, it may take longer than usual.

He had forgotten that Beckham had narrowly missed the World Cup that year, suffering an injury in the Champions League against Deportivo La Coruna.

His injury attracted the attention of all England, and even the queen would ask before the World Cup: Is David's injury healed?

It is undeniable that the importance of Xiaobei, even in Aldrich's tactical system, Xiaobei's ability to instigate long-pass attacks in the midfield is also very important, and he can be like him with accurate long passes, and players with huge threats on the side, there are really few in the England national team, and they can't be compared with other top players in the world.

If he can't participate in the World Cup, Aldridge may have to change his tactics, because the effect of substitutions will certainly not be the same.

However, Aldridge is not particularly worried, in the original history, Beckham recovered and participated in the World Cup as scheduled, and he is now just doing what he should do as a national team manager.

A little later, Aldrich called Ferguson.

"Alex, I already know about David, it's not early, to make a long story short, don't bother you to go home and rest, as long as Manchester United is sure that his injury will no longer have any impact on this season, how about the England national team medical department intervene to treat Becky?"

There was silence on the other end of the line, a long silence.

It is estimated that Ferguson is considering.

How important is Beckham to Manchester United?

To put it bluntly, Manchester United is now the team that best represents the British traditional 442, they do not have a European standard No. 1O player, but two wings fly together, the combination of the side and the middle of the tactical system to the extreme, in this context, Xiaobei, Giggs, the role of the golden wings is not No. 1O, but comparable to No. 1O, look at their number of assists, the number of goals involved, you know their role and contribution.

The injury of such a key player is a loss for the club, but it must also be kept secret internally!

In other words, if the outside world does not know whether Xiaobei's injury is serious or not and how long it will take to recover, then Manchester United's opponents will not know!

If Becky's injury and Manchester United's team doctor is sure that Beckham can return before the end of the season, Manchester United can catch the opponent off guard in the game of Becky's comeback, because it will disrupt the opponent's pre-match plan, maybe there are not many key battles in the league, but Manchester United is now in the Champions League semi-finals!

That's why Aldrich said that.

If Xiaobei is diagnosed with reimbursement this season, there is no need to keep it secret, and the national team medical department can intervene. And if United are sure that Beckham will be available for the remainder of the season. The national team's medical department can sit idly by. Because Xiaobei can make a comeback at the club, he will definitely not miss the World Cup.

"David has been sent to the hospital, we are waiting for news now, the situation may not be optimistic, but, Aldrich, I understand your position, I promise you. We were open and honest about David's injury, but only between us. ”

Ferguson and Aldridge have been fighting for 7 years, and in these 7 years, any fighting style on and off the field, except for the Stam incident, has been kept within certain rules, and the pair of sworn enemies respect each other, at this time, Ferguson can refuse Aldrich. But he gave a promise at the first time.

"Well, okay. I'm waiting for your news. ”

Hanging up, Aldrich turned off his phone and went back to his bedroom to rest.

The next day, football news began to spread to the world like an atomic bomb!

"The battle of the century will be played out again!"

"The most luxurious match, five Mr. Golden Balls will compete in the same field! Why not the finals? ”

"Millwall vs Real Madrid, the defending champions fight La Liga giants again!"

"After Barcelona, Real Madrid defends the dignity of Spanish football!"

"David Beckham is seriously injured! The strength of the Three Lions has been greatly reduced! ”

"The conspiracy of the Argentines! Why not let Beckham go? ”

"In the Champions League semi-finals, England once again won three seats!"

The Champions League semi-finals are out.

Millwall and Real Madrid qualify for the semi-finals in the same half as they face off in a do-or-die battle to secure a ticket to the final in Glasgow.

At the same time, after the two semi-finals were confirmed, they attracted wide attention in Europe and even the world.

Larsson, Nedved, Henry, Figo, Zidane.

The five Golden Globe Gentlemen of the past five years will compete together.

There are also Raul, Pirlo, Ronaldo, Carlos and many other well-known stars who have been nominated for the Golden Ball.

One can imagine how much attention these two semi-finals will attract.

There is no doubt that this will be the most expensive competition in contemporary football, and the battle between the most heavyweight stars!

With such factors, it is not difficult to understand why the Millwall players are so excited and excited to know that it is Real Madrid who have advanced to the semi-finals!

Such a game is more important and worth looking forward to than the Champions League in the normal sense.

The other half of the zone is going to stage the English Civil War, the Red Derby!

Manchester United eliminated Deportivo La Coruna to advance to the semi-finals, and Liverpool eliminated Bayer Leverkusen (who were eliminated due to the lack of Schneider, Bout, Ballack and other players. ）。

After winning three of the semi-finals last season, England continues to perform strongly in the Champions League by an overwhelming margin this season.

Millwall vs Real Madrid.

Manchester United vs Liverpool.

England fans are excited, if there is no Beckham's injury, in their opinion, this season's Champions League can be called perfect, of course, Arsenal who dropped the chain, did not even break into the top 8, everyone seems to be not surprised, that seemingly gorgeous team in England, in European competitions always give people stumbling unconvincing visual feeling.

Xiaobei's injury has attracted widespread attention, and it was an Argentine player who fouled him, so under the media hype, the hatred between England and Argentina has intensified, and the World Cup 4 years ago, the group stage that will be played in the summer, and now Xiaobei is injured again

Only a day later, Ferguson called Aldrich.

"The England squad can take over the treatment of David, but Manchester United will need to be informed of his injury recovery in time."

Becky's injury has made Manchester United Club very unoptimistic, and it has been diagnosed.

Fractured second phalange in the left foot.

There is an old Chinese saying: it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones.

Fractured, and it was a footballer's foot, even if it was discounted, Becky could return to the training ground alive in 5o days, but by then, Manchester United's season was over.

Manchester United's team doctor did not think Becky would be able to return before the end of the season, so he handed it over to the England national team to treat his injury.

Then again, how much is one of Becky's feet, even if it's left, worth?

Probably over thirty million pounds, or even more.

This is not linked to his competitive value, but combined with commercial value, for example, his competitive value is certainly not as good as Zidane, but if Xiaobei retires tomorrow, Manchester United's loss will definitely exceed the world record money figure of Zidane's transfer to Real Madrid.

Manchester United released the man, and Aldridge sent the England national team medical team to Millwall, where they waited for Becky's arrival with Millwall's medical team and began to prepare for Becky's treatment and rehabilitation plan.

The medical department of Millwall itself and the medical department of the England national team are the first, but after Aldridge became the coach of the national team, the two have a cooperative relationship, no one manages anyone, it is cooperation, even if there is a dispute, it must be put on hold for the time being, anyway, Aldridge will not always stay in this position.
