Amsterdam Athletic Stadium.

After 120 minutes of big battles and brutal penalty shootouts, the Real Madrid players collapsed on the turf at the moment when the results were known, and the expressions on the faces of the players varied, some were lonely, some were sad, some were numb, and some had red eyes

Heynckes took to the court to comfort everyone in the team, and he himself was stunned, but probably because of his age, he was better able to withstand the blow of the moment than the players.

He told every Real Madrid player: we will make a comeback!

Of course, Heynckes knew that his journey at Real Madrid was over, third in the league, runners-up in the Champions League, and missing out on next season's European Champions Cup, Real Madrid FC could not tolerate his record this season.

But he wants the players to pick themselves up and not leave here in despair.

In the stands, Millwall's fans were reveling, and on this great occasion, they watched their beloved team rise to the top of Europe, as if they were dying.

Aldridge was relieved long later, and his fellow coaching staff nearly crushed him to death, his blazer long since he sat in his seat, his shirt and trousers disheveled when he stood up, looking like a scruffy spook.

The joy of winning the championship did not bring him to tears, it is strange that when many fans in the stands, and even a few players on the field have moist eyes, Aldridge seems to have really become a fledgling young man, and he just wants to release his youthful passion with a flamboyant attitude at this moment.

He hugged and shook hands with his colleagues on the coaching staff, whispering words of gratitude in their ears without them. There's no way the team can't get here. To reach today's heights. Millwall's success is not his, and never will be, and a great coaching staff is an essential element of a successful team.

In four years, Aldridge has already won the respect and admiration of his fellow coaching staff, and now he can thank them as soon as he wins the championship, and it seems that in their hearts, Aldridge has suddenly turned from a human to a god.

The players hugged each other on the field. Materazzi hugged Pirlo and walked up behind Aldrich, grabbed his calves with both hands, passed his head between his legs, and then put Aldrich on his shoulders.

Materazzi, who took off his shirt, showed his strong muscles and led Aldridge to the Lions fan stands.

"Marko, it doesn't have to be like this, is it?"

Aldrich asked, looking down.

Materazizha laughed: "But they like it! ”

That's right, all the Lions fans in the stands made a gesture of worship, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Brady's group of Lionroar fans burst into the stands singing cheerful songs with lyrics they had been prepared for a long time. It was a birthday song, written specifically for Aldrich.

It's time for the song to be at its worst. More than 2,000 fans in the stands chanted in unison: "Happy birthday, Aldrich!" ”

Aldridge jumped off Materazzi, and to be honest, it was more difficult to hug a big man like Materazzi with high shoulders and wide shoulders, but he still hugged Materazzi and turned his head and asked with a smile: "Did you notify friends and family to come and watch the game?" ”

Materazzi said lightly: "I didn't inform anyone, besides, I don't know if I can play, people who care about me will pay attention to this game, as for whether it will come, I don't know if it will come." ”

Aldridge sighed slightly, Materazzi had a miserable childhood, fierce on the field, but a person who kept to himself off the field.

'Remember the moment today and I'm sure you'll start in the Champions League final in the future!'

Materazzi grinned and asked, "How do you know that I won't transfer and leave?" ”

Aldrich laughed and said, "Go? Are you willing? ”

Materazzi looked at Aldrich's distant back and raised his eyebrows, perhaps, he was really reluctant to leave.

But for him, whose hometown is in Italy, like many players who come to Millwall, he had a plan in his heart before he came: this is not his home after all.

Aldridge walked up to Larsson, didn't say anything, hugged the other and patted the other on the back, but Larsson kept telling Aldridge about his joy in his ear.

Nedved, Schneider, Bout, Southgate Aldridge hugged each player, and at the end of the day, he came to Shevchenko, who was draped in the Ukrainian flag.

For players from non-mainstream league countries, there are not many moments to reach the top of the European Champions Cup, especially like Ukraine, although there are factors that have not existed in the past few years due to the disintegration of Eastern Europe, but Ukrainian players can win the Champions League, perhaps, Shevchenko is the first now, Aldrich is not sure, even if it is not, it is absolutely rare.

Shevchenko burst into tears as he hugged Aldrich, and the two hugged each other tightly, and Shevchenko choked in his ear to express his gratitude.

He's leaving.

Unlike Stam who reached an agreement with Manchester United to leave in advance, Shevchenko insisted on his duty as a player, although he expressed his intention to leave Aldridge half a year ago, and he never had personal contact with AC Milan, but Aldridge reached an agreement with Galliani and let Andrew tell Shevchenko.

On the issue of players leaving, Aldridge has seen it very openly.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Pire, Patrick Vieira, Stamm, there are a lot of good players who have left under him, he can already face these with a normal heart, and at the same time, he can think more about the players, Shevchenko dreams of AC Milan, Aldridge blesses him, and there is no obstacle on the way to his dream.

Lions fans and players watched Aldridge and Shevchenko hug strangely, too long, right? And Shevchenko's excitement was beyond imagination.

Some players probably guessed something, but they didn't ask, this moment is not the time to talk about parting sadness.

After hugging the players, Aldridge stood alone in the middle of the field, looking at the main stand with his hands on his hips, and the cameras around him were always focused on him, the young manager who wrote a football legend today, leading the team to the top of Europe on his 22nd birthday!

The award ceremony began shortly. Aldrich walked behind the most. When he stepped on the stairs. The crowd on both sides of the crowd applauded him and his team in unison, and there were excited female fans who hugged him and kissed him

"Son, son, son!"

Around the corner of the podium, Arthur stood with his family and Rowling's mother and daughter standing beside him, Arthur made no secret of his affection for Aldridge when Aldridge walked over. He grabbed Aldrich, then put his arms around his neck, repeating as if he were nervous: "Son, you are too great, too great, too great"

In the end, it was Andrew and Barnett who had to make a lot of effort to drag Arthur away, otherwise they would have delayed Aldridge to receive the award.

The guests invited by UEFA, Aldridge almost did not know, but it did not prevent him from greeting them politely here, and finally UEFA President Johansson bent down to talk with Aldridge for a long time before he hung up the medal.

"Boss. Come on! ”

Southgate and Nedved were standing on the left and right, and Southgate suddenly wanted Aldridge to come and lift the trophy.

Aldridge smiled and shook his head, though. said: "If you don't want to pick it up, many people will rush to replace you." ”

Southgate turned his head to look at his hot-eyed teammates, then looked at Nedved, and the two lifted the trophy to the left and right, and the salute was fired in a salvo, and they excitedly chanted: "Millwall, king of Europe!" ”

The players took their trophy to the bottom for a group photo, and Aldridge went to the post-match press conference after attending the first group photo.

As the players and their families celebrated the milestone moment on the pitch, Aldridge walked into the press conference to hear deafening applause.

The reporters at the scene gave a standing ovation, staring at Aldrich while nodding their heads incessantly, as a tribute.

Aldridge sat down with a smile, and suddenly a reporter asked: "Mr. Hall, you should put on a suit, to be honest, now we take pictures of you, it really damages your image." ”

Aldrich spread his hands helplessly and said, "But I lost my suit." ”

"Lost?"

"Well, I put it in my seat during the game, and I went to look for it just now, but I don't know who took it, but I didn't find it anyway."

"Uh, are there any important items missing?"

"No, I guess that's what you said, image loss."

He looked a little scruffy now, with obvious dirt marks on his body, which was that he had been pressed against the turf and soiled his shirt.

Aldrich sat down, and the reporters asked questions in turn.

"Talking about the tactics of the final, before the game we predicted that Millwall would continue to play with defensive counter-attacking tactics, but in the game, we saw that Millwall had been playing aggressively, so why would we make a change?"

Aldrich is calm and calm at the moment, able to talk and laugh.

"I've reiterated countless times that I'm not a static manager, for different games, for different opponents, I will let the team adopt the tactics that I think are most appropriate, maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, and I am satisfied with the effect of today's tactics in the game, which helped us a lot to win the championship."

Reporters nodded, believing that if it weren't for Millwall's bad luck, the game would have been over in 90 minutes.

"Can you comment on Real Madrid's performance?"

'It was a great opponent and I have to admit that they were more able to take their chances, we created more dangerous attacks, but after 120 minutes it was 3-3 and it took a penalty shoot-out to win the title.

'Does Millwall's Champions League win on their first run mean Millwall are starting to dream of the next title? With such a young squad, you have every chance of challenging for a second, third and even more Champions League trophies. ”

Aldridge faced this question, pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said: "I don't think about the second Champions League trophy now, that is disrespectful to the players, although we won the championship with an undefeated record, but this is an achievement achieved by the players with great effort and seriousness, if I talk about the second Champions League trophy, it will seem like how easy it is to win the championship, no, I don't think so, now I and my team only need to do one thing, only one thing, and that is to celebrate, to celebrate the glory of this season's hard work, It's what the players deserve, it's about the future, and when it's time for me to think about it, I'll talk about it then. ”

Aldridge's failure to talk about the future at the press conference has led to a lot of suspicion among journalists.

Regardless of what everyone else thinks, Aldrich led the carnival team to a glorious victory! (To be continued......)
