All eyes will be on 2 October, when Millwall will face their first real rivals in the league this season: city rivals Arsenal.

The top teams in the table want Arsenal to snipe Millwall, and their fans naturally can't afford to ignore themselves.

But before that, Aldridge has to lead the team to a third-round Carabao Cup game.

Millwall were lucky to meet Tranmere in the draw, again a lower-league opponent, and Millwall were still playing at home.

Aldridge led the high-spirited youth army to the visiting Tranmere at the Lion's Den Stadium, Glen Charles scored twice, Klose scored a hat-trick, Millwall scored five goals, and gave the fans a goal feast, Metzeldega Barzagli's center-back combination is still not very stable, after all, young, Tranmere scored two goals, Millwall is considered to have advanced to the next round without danger.

Before the tickets for the Millwall-Arsenal derby went on sale, there was already a long queue outside the club's ticket office, and those who had season tickets naturally had nothing to worry about, but for fans who had applied for season tickets for many years but could only buy them by game due to the limited number of them, Millwall's home games were an alternative ordeal for them.

I want to enter the stadium to watch the game, but it is difficult to find a ticket, I am not afraid of queuing, I am afraid that I can't buy a ticket after queuing!

Now the more urgent desire of the Lions fans is not to win any championships, but to move into the new stadium as soon as possible!

Season ticket sales will also at least double next season, with the original capacity of the new stadium being 55,000 but in the new season. When the club approved candidates for season tickets, it found that the number of applicants had exceeded 50,000. So the club communicated with the building contractor. The stadium capacity has been expanded to 60,000, while the number of season ticket sales for next season will fluctuate between 40,000 and 48,000, with the remainder reserved for regular single-game ticket sales and for away club fans.

The development of the club can have such a prosperous situation today, not only by the club's own efforts, the team's record is only the foundation, which can attract a large number of fans to watch the football and consume their football, and the club attaches importance to the fan market. Focusing on communication with fan organizations is also one of the important factors in development, and in England alone, Millwall has more than 10 large fan organizations with a total of more than 80,000 fans, including countless loyal consumers.

Three hours after tickets went on sale, the Millwall Club closed the sales window and hung up a sign: SOLD OUT!

There are still large numbers of fans who are so disappointed that they can't get tickets that they can only watch at home or in themed bars in the radiating community around the club.

Tenth round of the Premier League. Millwall's city-to-town derby with Arsenal was the grand finale, the day before the game. There's another focus battle.

Chelsea vs Manchester United.

The result of the competition was unexpected.

Manchester United, who remained unbeaten in the first nine rounds with six wins and three draws, was completely blown up by Chelsea!

5:0

The game was completely into the rhythm of Chelsea's slaughter from the moment Poyet knocked on Manchester United's door in the first minute, Mr. Sutton scored his first goal for Chelsea (the only goal of the whole season), and in the second half, Poyet scored again, Manchester United central defender Bog set up an own goal to help Chelsea rewrite the score again, Manchester United's nightmare is not over, conceding another goal in the last stage, 5 goals were washed in blood, setting a record for the largest defeat in the confrontation between Manchester United and Chelsea in 31 years!

Chelsea's massacre of Manchester United shocked England and made both Millwall and Arsenal snicker.

At the beginning of the new season, Arsenal's performance followed the top two, with 6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the first nine rounds, and the two defeats were lost to Manchester United and Liverpool, although the points are only two points behind Manchester United and eight points behind Millwall, but they feel like they have dropped a lot compared to last year, especially on the defensive end, the defense that only conceded 18 goals in the whole season last season, and conceded 7 in the first 9 rounds of the new season.

On the afternoon of October 2, it began to drizzle in London.

Despite the wind and rain, the fans still came to the Lion's Den Stadium to watch the game, and the loud singing surrounded the stadium, which was really rain or shine.

In the pre-match press conference, Aldridge did not comment too much on the game, except for one sentence: the competition has begun.

Millwall thanked the FA for the schedule arranged, although they did not meet strong opponents in the first nine rounds, but gave Aldridge enough time to adjust the team's state, find problems and solve them in time, the team has spent the adaptation period after returning from the holiday, and now is the time to get better, meet Arsenal, hehe, meet Arsenal, which is a year older in the backline, why is it not Manchester United? Aldridge prefers to take the Champions League champion Manchester United to sacrifice the flag!

Aldridge, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was walking in the players' tunnel with a smile on his face, and the game was about to start, and he had just spent a little more time in the office to make a phone call, because Bert had a cold, but fortunately he was fine, which made him happy.

The players from both sides stood in the tunnel and prepared to play, they were wearing long-sleeved jerseys today, Aldridge walked between the two teams with one hand in the pocket, Pire and Vieira in the Arsenal team nodded when they saw him coming, Aldridge smiled back, Arsenal was in front of the captain Adams, behind Adams there was an equally tall player, looking at the forward with his head held high, as if he was looking forward to the game.

He was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and a voice came in his ear: "Hey, Zlatan, let me see what you are capable of today." ”

He reacted and turned his head to see that the person who patted him on the shoulder had already walked out of the tunnel and gave him a back.

"Who's that kid!"

"Boy, you're the boy, be respectful! That's our leader! ”

Southgate, who was standing in the front row of Millwall, yelled at the tall man in displeasure.

Adams raised his hand to Southgate and said, "Gareth, don't be nervous, that's what he says." Not a lack of respect. ”

Eevee poked his head out and looked out. Aldrich is gone. He puffed up his chest again, and the conviction in his heart was extremely firm: I will definitely show you my ability today!

Ibrahimovic is proud, and there is no contradiction between him and Aldrich, at best, he wants to prove that Aldrich made the wrong decision back then.

It shouldn't have been an invitation to join some bullshit youth team, but he should have thrown the jersey of the team's main striker directly into his hands!

Aldridge walked into the stadium and stood directly in the wind and rain, and the fans on the sidelines would be happy to see him, cheering and applauding, which has become the usual practice on the Lion's Den Stadium. Aldridge also applauded the fans' enthusiasm before walking up to Arsene Wenger to shake hands.

Wenger put on his coat, the rain was not heavy, and it didn't matter if it rained a little, and the two shook hands and exchanged two words.

"Before the game, Hall and Arsene Wenger, two friends on the sidelines, met again on the field, and there are a lot of things that can be read from the expressions of the two, right? Andy. ”

At first glance, Hall is relaxed and energetic, and he always feels like a newcomer. I like a challenge, I like to meet strong enemies. Hopefully, the stronger his opponents are, the more exciting they will be, and I think it's this kind of temperament that makes his team push the limits day by day and get stronger than we imagined. As for Arsene Wenger, it feels like he is preoccupied, as if he has predicted that he will lose this game, maybe it is just a worry and attention, but because of Hall, you will have the illusion that Wenger is sitting at a table where all his net worth is staked. ”

"Hehehe, are you saying Wenger can't afford to lose?"

"It doesn't matter if he can afford to lose or not, anyway, he has lost and won, and there is no end to football games, but in normal times he will feel calm, win, and confident, but in front of Hall with a confident smile, he will subconsciously feel that Arsenal seems to have no confidence, what kind of psychological reaction will the players have when they see it?"

"So what should he do?"

"I don't know what to say, maybe it would be better to be as expressionless as Ferguson."

"Harooha, to get down to business, Millwall have a full squad today, sending out the strongest squad for this London derby, and Arsenal's starting line-up today has two personnel changes compared to last season's Premier League finale against Millwall.

Goalkeeper: Seaman.

Defenders: Dixon, Keown, Adams, Silvinho.

Midfielders: Overmars, Petit, Vieira, Pire.

Forwards: Bergkamp, Ibrahimovic.

Brazilian Silvinho replaces Winterburn, Ibrahimovic also replaces Anelka, who left in the summer, the Swedish young man performed well in the first nine rounds, although he only scored two goals, but his role on the field is still very obvious, at least Arsenal has a high point in the positional battle, and there is also a fulcrum that can control the ball on the front line, Arsenal bench also has Kanu, Suker and other powerful players, but Wenger still chooses to trust the Swedish young man, maybe, he will be the next Anelka in the future, you know, Anelka has made Arsenal £22 million, which is great value. ”

'Martin, don't talk about value here, compared to Millwall's windfall in the transfer market over the years, there is no club in Europe who can present this in front of them.

"Haluha, I forgot about this, maybe Millwall is too strong now, and I never worry about the main players because of selling players."

Aldridge stood on the sidelines, drenched in the rain, waiting for the game to begin.

Today's rain and the field is slippery, which may affect the players' running, but the effect is the same, both teams are teams that play ground passing, and there is no factor of who has the advantage of the weather.

When the game began, Millwall almost knocked on Arsenal's goal on their first attack.

Maybe Arsenal's double central defenders, 33-year-old Adams and Keown, are not too obvious problems, but Dixon, who is 35 years old, is the shortcoming of the wing defense of the backline!

There's no reason why Millwall shouldn't grab the other party's seven inches and hit him to death!

Ronaldo pulled the side directly after the opening, received a pass from Nedved, and took the ball to surprise Dixon without looking at the running position of his teammates, which Aldridge told before the game.

"Use all your skills to defeat Dixon!"

Xiao Luo passed the opponent after shaking continuously in front of Dixon, and the aging Dixon could only defend one side, so he chose to defend the inward, but Xiao Luo went down from his side with the ball.

Wait until the bottom line and then go inside, Dixon catches up, Xiao Luo stops and changes direction to pull the ball out, and passes the opponent twice in 10 seconds!

Immediately after that, when the angle was very small, he came with a cold shot, which shocked Seaman into a cold sweat and blocked the ball from the bottom line with one hand.

The fans in the stands applauded Ronaldo, who slowly ran to take a corner.

Arsene Wenger's face was solemn, and the game against Millwall was like a full-fledged military parade, and what was wrong with the team was immediately exposed.

Playing other teams generally doesn't see a problem, Ovimas directly suppressed the opponent on the same side, and it was Dixon's turn to be exploded?

Aldridge saw that Xiao Luo didn't score, and bowed his waist a little regretfully, if he scored, how beautiful! (To be continued......)
