Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

Aldridge had been distracted during the lottery process, he lowered his head and took out his wallet to open it, looking at the photo of himself holding his two sons inside, and he was silly happy.

When Galliani slapped him, he noticed that Galliani had a strange expression, and then looked up at the big screen.

One group after the other looked down.

In fact, after the expansion of the Champions League to the top 32, the attention of this group group draw is declining year by year, because the difference between strength and weakness is too great, plus the top two in the group can be steadily qualified, and the general strong are also divided into grades, basically there will be no group of death, even if there is, a group of death will break the sky, and most of the time, UEFA does not want to see the strong team out prematurely, and the group stage is regarded as a wonderful foreshadowing of the Champions League.

It's the same this year, Aldridge swept away at a glance, if you say that the group of death, Barcelona, Arsenal, Fiorentina, AIK Sona is a group?

Count?

Arsenal aren't the high-profile teams in the Champions League, right?

Florence is also a new recruit.

Further down, Valencia, Bayern Munich, Glasgow Rangers, PSV Eindhoven, are they the group of death?

Aldrich looked at it with great interest, but when he looked at it, he found a problem, what about Millwall?

Not to mention, Millwall was placed in the last group, Group H.

The opponents in the same group are Hertha Berlin, Galatasaray, and AC Milan!

What's the point?

Millwall European Pot 1? AC Milan second pot? The latter two are casual.

Aldridge now understood the reason for Galliani's strange expression, he turned his head to Galliani and smiled: "I'm sorry, my son will only be full moon tomorrow." I shouldn't be able to go to San Siro to watch the game. ”

Galliani's muscles twitched in his face. I was roaring in my heart: I just said a kind word! I don't want to see you in San Siro in my life!

He felt unlucky. Thinking of Hodgson, who sat with Aldridge last season, and also witnessed Inter Milan and Millwall being placed in the same group, Galliani silently cried in his heart: Why am I sitting here!

But on second thought, the top two in the group can qualify, and not finish second in the group with the best result like Inter Milan last season, so that Millwall can join AC Milan in qualifying, and didn't their neighbors happily run to the last eight with Millwall last year?

Galliani squeezed out a smile. Stretched out his hand towards Aldrich and said, "Hehe, join hands to qualify, hand in hand." ”

"Well, hand in hand."

Aldrich shook his hand, a smile on his face.

The coaches of other strong teams actually have similar expressions, not happy or sad, this year's group stage situation is much easier than in previous years, there are more boys to send points, and the group qualifiers are also relaxed, maybe everyone thinks more. It's still the group stage of the second round, when the time comes. There is no fish belly in the same group that can be scored.

Although the FIFA match day is coming, most of the players in the team have gone to the national team, but Aldridge really did not give himself a vacation to accompany his family because of personal waste, he still maintained a professional attitude at this point, during this period, only when the whole team was on vacation, he went to Liverpool to share his family with his children, and then returned to the club a few days to pay attention to the reserves, the drills of the youth team, so that several players in the first team who did not have national team tasks could not slack off.

When the international break was over and there was speculation about whether Millwall would suffer from the FIFA virus, Millwall welcomed promoted Watford at home.

Watford stunned everyone, scoring a goal from a corner in the opening two minutes, making everyone think that Millwall's form was really starting to decline because of the FIFA break.

But Aldridge was not nervous at all, and at the end of the first half, Millwall not only equalised early, but also scored three goals to take a 3-1 lead.

In the second half, the two main players were still rested, the promoted Ma Watford was not strong, the defense was sparse, and it was useless to put the bus, not to mention that it was already behind, and in the second half it was a desperate fight, and finally it was vigorously poured 3, at the end of the game, Millwall defeated the promoted Watford 6:1, and led the standings with 7 consecutive wins.

Commenting on the match after the game, Fleet Street commented on Watford's performance: They were proud to have breached the gates of Millwall, nothing more.

In the same round, Manchester United visited Anfield in the English derby, beating the Red Army Liverpool 3-2.

The media across England were exclaiming: who the hell is going to stop these two teams!!! Who can stand up!

The new season is not as intense and exciting as last season's four-final battle from start to finish, and it has completely become a duo between Manchester United and Millwall.

Millwall have won all seven games and Manchester United have won six and drawn one, and the two unbeaten teams are not only the best in the league, but also have unrivalled attacking firepower.

Manchester United's attacking group led by the Black Wind continued last season's good momentum.

Millwall, on the other hand, were unbelievably crazy in attacking football, and it was well known to the discerning that they had only played 60 minutes to secure the victory!

Defensively, Millwall have conceded only one goal after seven rounds, and Manchester United cannot compare with Millwall in this regard, that back line is not only unconvincing goalkeepers, but also the aging Erwin and immature Silvestre are hidden dangers at the back.

Aldridge was in high spirits after the seventh round of the league and gave his players a palpable sense of joy and relief in training.

Everyone knows that Aldridge is very keen to play the next round of the league.

Their opponents are Everton, and Fleet Street is speculating if Everton will be able to snipe Millwall, just as they did when they drew with Manchester United in the league opener.

And the undisciplined "Sun" looked forward to the game with a nonsensical headline: Why doesn't Liverpool have 19 Premier League teams?

The outside world knows Aldridge's itinerary, Liverpool - London - away game.

The article teased the young coach and wrote: If Liverpool had 19 Premier League teams and the FA allowed Millwall to play away from home in both round-robin leagues, Aldridge Hall would have raised his hands in favour. He probably thought about it in his head, too. Just move Millwall to Liverpool!

Of course. These were the jokes that newspapers wrote for readers to entertain after dinner, and Aldrich would laugh at them.

In midweek, Millwall got the Champions League first day off to a clean start with a clean 4-1 win over visiting Hertha Berlin at Wembley.

Everything is no different from what was expected, and Millwall, with their rich European experience over the past three years, is no stranger to the Champions League, both as a manager and as a player. The ability to get into shape faster than many of the recruits was a good example of how the Germans were able to get into shape faster than many of their recruits, with the German team visiting Wembley and the players either nervous or overly excited on the pitch, and if it weren't for Andrea Pirlo's attention slipping down to an own assist when he was leading 4-0 in the second half, it would have been a complete victory for Millwall.

Just after the first matchday of the Champions League group stage, there was shocking news in the Premier League.

Newcastle United boss Ruud Gullitt has been sacked by the club!

The pigtail coach had a bad start in the new season, leading the Magpies to consecutive defeats after 7 rounds. The Magpies are bottom of the Premier League and the club can't take it anymore. Finally let the pigtail handsome get out of class.

Ruud Gullit, who arrived in English football four years ago, bid farewell to England for his next journey, picking up the whip here with the slogan of romantic football, but failing to deliver on his promise.

Ruud Gurlitt is gone, but he hasn't come in vain, and his contribution to the Premier League, especially to Chelsea, is immeasurable.

On the way to the Premier League's re-emergence on the European map, Ruud Gullitt joined the Premier League side, bringing attention to the Premier League and playing a sentry battle for the stars that would follow.

And although he has only been with Chelsea for a short time, he deserves to be classified as a legend, as he is an important figure in the development of Chelsea FC in recent times.

If Chelsea's recent history is divided into several stages, then Bates's takeover of the club and the start of building Chelsea Village is the first stage, Gullit joining Chelsea in 95 is the starting point of the second stage, until now, in the future, the third stage of Chelsea, is the appearance of a man who seems to have fallen from heaven at that moment of life and death.

The outside world will not ignore Gullit's contribution to the Premier League and English football, so even if Gullit is out of class, people sigh and sigh, and several managers such as Aldridge have made positive comments about Gullit.

At least Gurlitt has ideals and ambitions, and has fame and self-characteristics, when competing with each other, Aldrich and him can draw swords against each other, but off the field, there is no saber rattling, and there is no need to deliberately exaggerate the existence of swords and swords.

Aldridge has won Gullitt many times in the field of coaching, but he will not take it as a sense of superiority, because it is stupid, just like Gullit will not laugh at Aldridge for not being able to play because he is the world footballer.

Just after Ruud Gullit's departure, Newcastle United officials immediately announced another bombshell news.

"Bobby Robson is back in English football and at the helm of Newcastle United!"

The news gave Newcastle United fans a great boost and also made the whole English football scene boil.

Bobby Robson, Aldridge once had a peak duel with his Barcelona side.

And this old handsome man "traveled" outside for nearly ten years, and finally chose to return to his roots and return to his hometown.

British fans are full of admiration for this old coach, Bobby Robson can be described as highly respected, he created the best World Cup record of the England national team since 66 years of winning the cup on home soil, and the original history has continued, but unfortunately, in 90, his England semi-finals lost to the most rebellious champion Germany, and what is even more tragic is that four years ago, his England was eliminated by Maradona's goal of an angel and a devil.

The flaws are not hidden, the old coach has been smiling at the situation for decades, and he is not the kind of iron-fisted leader, so he has won the hearts of the people, plus he was diagnosed with cancer seven years ago and has been fighting against the disease, which in itself is enough to inspire people, therefore, English football welcomes his return, and British fans also welcome his return!

Before Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference, he received a phone call in the hallway, but he didn't expect it to be Bobby Robson.

"Hey, Bobby, welcome back, couldn't it be that I'm looking for Boas?"

"Hehe, no, I'm just calling an old friend to say hello. Vilas did a good job with you, and I won't delay his future, but I invited José before I came back, hoping that he would come and help me, and after two years I couldn't do it anymore, so I let him take over, but he seemed to have his own ideas and refused my invitation. ”

"Jose Mourinho? He has a dragon and a tiger in his heart, and he has an idea, which is certain, but he rejects you, I think it is his loss, and he can still learn a lot by your side. ”

"Maybe, now is the world of you young people, I don't know if he can challenge you in the future, oh, you have surpassed many people now, and I can't compare to you."

"I hung up the phone, and you made me embarrassed, hehe."

"Well, greetings Bert and Earl on my behalf."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Aldrich was a little disappointed.

Jose Mourinho, why don't you agree to Robson?

I can't wait to see you in the Premier League! (To be continued......)
