When the FIFA match day came, the main team was more than half gone, and Aldridge's work was also idle.

Apart from researching League Cup final opponents Aston Villa at the end of the month, he spends more time in the youth team, which has become a habit for him, always following the development of his players.

What makes him more pleased is that Vanney, who has been in the reserve team for a long time, has opened up in the past three months, and he is in hot form in the reserve team's game, especially in the penalty area, his sense of smell is becoming more and more sensitive, unlike when he first arrived at the team, he was hit by the opponent's defender in the penalty area and couldn't find the north, he began to calmly look for space, and the judgment of the ball's trajectory has his own way of thinking, and has achieved certain results.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has scored nine goals in the last six games in the reserve league, is still working hard and hopes that one day the reserve coach Molex will say to him: Ruud, from today onwards, the reserves don't need you anymore, you have to go and train with the main players of the first team.

Aldridge saw both his efforts and the results, and at the end of the day's training, Aldridge went out of his way to have a long talk with him, and after the conversation, Vanney left excitedly.

Aldridge has given him the promise that he will continue to train hard and consciously improve his striker's playmaking ability, so Aldridge will give him some game time in the coming months.

But another striker has been in the team for a year and a half and has been like an elm pimple.

Luca Toney.

Because Tony had just turned 18 years old at the beginning of the season, he could participate in the youth league, but he also scored many goals in the youth league, but it always gave people the impression that he was bullying the soft and afraid of the hard way to score, so he habitually played alone, took the ball, used his body to eat the opponent, and gradually began to teammates not be able to play together.

In fact, Aldridge has certain psychological expectations for Toney, because a strong center like Tony has the physical fitness to hold the ball on the front line, and can well cover his teammates and insert the attack, maybe his speed in the counterattack is a hard injury, in the pursuit of speed in the game, Tony will not meet his mind, but the frontal offensive battle, Toney's threat in the penalty area, will not be inferior to the king of the small penalty area.

Thankfully, Nagy took over the youth team a few months ago and began to revamp Toney so that he could fit into the tactical system.

Two days before and after the national team break, Aldridge gave the team a holiday.

But he still has something to do, and he has to "serve a prison sentence".

The court sentenced him to 40 hours of volunteer work, and he hadn't done it for an hour.

For exactly two days, eight hours a day, and three hours a day for the next three days, it will be done before the end of February.

Early in the morning, Aldrich washed up and began to prepare to change clothes, he opened the closet, swept the Armani brand clothing at a glance, and then picked out a sportswear without a trademark and I don't know when he bought it, he put on pants and shoes, and then came downstairs with a tracksuit jacket, and after a while, Andrew came to the door and brought the ink pen that Aldrich asked him to buy.

Andrew put his hands in his pockets and watched with a smile as Aldrich scribbled two striking lines on the back of his tracksuit jacket.

"Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility."

When the ink was dry, Aldrich put on his coat, turned around and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Okay, environmental fighter."

Aldrich smiled, turned and walked out, and said, "I'm going to work as a cleaner, bye." ”

Andrew didn't eat breakfast, so he went straight into the kitchen to find something to eat.

Aldrich left home, no matter what, he is now a celebrity, in this part of London, celebrities will be secretly photographed when they go shopping on the street, let alone volunteering, how many reporters on Fleet Street have been waiting impatiently, they also want to see the scene of Aldrich going to "serve his sentence", of course, everything is still for the news.

As he walked out of the community's door, Aldrich unexpectedly saw three friends.

Evan, with a ponytail, stood in front of a small jeep with a smile, Brady and Fred sat on the front bonnet left and right, the three of them were dressed the same, jeans on the bottom, a special T-shirt on the top, a blue lion printed on the chest, and the line below: The wild lion is the best!

With a bang, Fred jumped out of the car, then pulled the door open to get some tools from inside, and slammed the door shut.

Aldrich laughed and said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm going to be famous with you."

Yiwen, who looks refreshing and beautiful today, said as a matter of course.

Brady and Fred both carried brooms on their shoulders, and Evan also had a garbage bag in his hand, and handed Aldrich a trash pick-up clip.

Seeing that they were going to join in the fun, Aldrich had no reason to blow them away.

In fact, everyone knows that Aldrich's volunteering is just a show, and the form is greater than the effect.

Aldrich, however, did not feel that his court conviction of volunteering was a bad thing, nor did he feel humiliated.

Change your way of thinking and do this well, but it will be a blessing in disguise.

As the owner and manager of Millwall, he has the Millwall label on him, and his public image is tied to the club.

Therefore, his words and deeds, in addition to being cautious, must also play a positive role in the club.

He is a star, an indisputable star.

Because of his personality, the way he commands on the sidelines, the way he talks to the media, the occasional astonishing celebrations and, crucially, Millwall's impressive record.

He has a personal aura invisibly, and critics have compared him with Redknapp, and Aldridge won completely, because Redknapp can't see that he has the aura of a coach on the sidelines, and it is not difficult to understand that the momentum of the whole Millwall team is always overwhelming.

As a public figure, Aldridge wanted to use this volunteer opportunity to raise Millwall's profile.

That's why he wrote that kind of environmental slogan on the back of his coat.

Showmanship?

It's a show.

But if the audience directly rejects Aldrich's approach, then it can only show his own narrow-mindedness.

When Bailey reached the top of the World Cup at his peak, he did not thank his motherland or his family and teammates, but said that he wanted the world to not forget the suffering children.

Can you say Bailey is putting on a show?

Maybe it's a show, but this show is what the general public needs, recognizes, and will respond positively, which will make Bailey suddenly turn from a human to a god.

Maradona forgot to shout Argentina's name, was this emotional catharsis at his peak a show? Who dares to say yes? This kind of patriotic sentiment is what the general public accepts from the heart.

Michael Jackson stood in the middle of the children and sang "Heal-the-World" and poured out the world.

Even if Aldridge is around, he can clearly feel the same example, Princess Diana, who has been separated from the crown prince for more than three years, still has a very high reputation among the people, and the people love this charity-loving princess.

In the end, this is a kind of propaganda, the promotion of universal values.

Everyone knows the right thing, but when celebrities promote it as a stance at the right time, it will cause repercussions, and people will instinctively recognize and support, and even support.

Millwall FC is notorious in English football and is only in the field of football, but the influence of a top club is by no means limited to football.

Aldridge will work tirelessly to increase Millwall's influence, starting with himself, of course.

With the trash pick-up clip in his hand, Aldrich reached into his pocket with his other hand and pulled out the phone to call the court-appointed inspector.

Moments later, a black man in his early thirties wore a shirt and trousers and rode a motorcycle to the entrance of the community.

He parked the car, then walked towards Aldrich, took the initiative to shake hands and said, "Mr. Hall, I am Nordman, have you decided to perform unpaid compulsory labor today?" ”

Aldrich looked at his watch and said, "Eight hours today, tomorrow is also eight hours, please record the time, by the way, is there any workload requirements?" ”

Nordman smiled and shook his head: "It's just a symbolic punishment, as long as the working hours are completed, there is no indicator for the workload." ”

Aldrich raised an eyebrow in understanding, then he took a deep breath, looked up at the bright sunlight today, and said, "Then let's start now." ”

With that, Aldrich began to walk along the street, all the way through, and when he found garbage on the street, he would bend down and pick it up with a clip and put it in the garbage bag that Evan was holding next to him.

I don't know when Aldrich and his group were tailgated, and not far behind them, several cars on the road slowly followed them, and the people who came out of the windows and roofs of the cars would carry cameras to record all this.

Aldrich didn't care, he and his three companions talked and laughed, and turned into happy cleaners.

They became the center of attention on the street, because it was in East London, and many pedestrians on the street would first show surprise when they saw Aldrich, and then take the initiative to greet them in a friendly manner.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Aldrich gathered behind a lot of young people, they looked like they were not adults, when they first saw Aldrich, they all came up to ask for autographs or group photos, Aldrich smiled and declined, saying that they could meet their requirements during the lunch break, so these young boys and girls followed Aldrich and they were also joined in picking up garbage.

Aldrich is like a whirlwind, purifying the neighborhood and sparking laughter.

"Hey, Aldrich, come and work in my shop, I'll give you five pounds an hour!"

The white-bearded old man selling hamburgers gave Aldrich a thumbs-up from afar, causing passers-by to smile kindly.

Aldrich humorously replied: "Okay, keep my job, one day I am unemployed, I will be the first to come to you!" ”

"Then you better forget about it! I don't want to be besieged by our lions fans! ”

"Haha"

More and more people gathered around Aldrich, both men and women, but most of them were young people, and some were parents with children, their children had a sense of adoration for Aldrich, and the children riding on their father's neck had their eyes shining and excited, but the father of the child had to squeeze in the crowd.

More media also rushed to hear the news, and they kept taking pictures, filming the whole process with cameras, and even a TV station also reported the news on the roadside.

Aldrich refused all the reporters who came forward to cover the interview, and he ran to a press car, picked up the cigarette butt that the driver had just dropped on the ground with a clip, and then without him speaking, the crowd behind him booed the driver!

Seeing the driver hiding in shame, everyone laughed heartily again.
