Millwall have become a love-hate team in European betting!

Their strength can attract a lot of customers, and even a draw in the league like Millwall can make the bookmaker a fortune.

But the biggest headache for the bookmaker is that Millwall plays the domestic cup, they send substitutes to play, which can be understood as 2 teams, the strength should have declined, but they won, and like today's semi-finals, they also won by a big score, just looking at the score, it seems that there is no suspense at all.

This is inseparable from the youth system of the Cradle of Millwall's superstars, with the exception of goalkeepers Keller, Klose and Ramour, who all arrived at or before the age of 18.

Some of the players were interviewed after the game.

It's no secret that many teams across Europe are interested in Millwall's first-team staple.

Now even their substitutes are getting hot.

"Congratulations, Ramour, how do you feel today when you scored a deadlock-breaking goal for the team and were instrumental in the final?"

Ramour was silent for a moment in front of the camera, with a smile on his face, and then smiled: "It's wonderful, it's a great feeling now, it's an honour to be able to help the team reach the final and fight for a trophy in an important competition, it gives me a sense of presence in the team and it will give me a sense of accomplishment at the end of the season, and to play for a great club like Millwall, I think it's a dream life." ”

'Rumours have it that Liverpool would love you to go back to Anfield and put on the Reds. We all know that you were part of Liverpool's academy. Have you ever wanted to go back to Liverpool with Steven Gerrard? Irving, what about your former teammates getting back together? ”

The summer transfer window hasn't started, but by the end of the season, many teams have already started their transfer work, some even in February or March, after all, at that time, for some teams, the season's achievements are almost fixed.

Ramour's smile softened. "Yes, I used to be a Liverpool academy player and I'm grateful for the input that Liverpool has put in the development of me, but that's all, that's what my story with Liverpool is all about. I started my career in earnest at Millwall, where I had a good relationship with the coaches, I got along well with my team-mates, I trained hard and I was protected by the club. They made sure I was healthy and talked to me about career development. I'm trying to make myself better and the boss gives me the opportunity to contribute to the team and I'm happy with where I am and I think it's great to be at Millwall, it's like home to me. ”

Ramor, who fell from the altar, was very calm in the face of the temptation of transfer, maybe only if he experienced it firsthand, he would know how rare it is to meet a manager who knows people and can inspire himself in the football circle, he doesn't want to go anywhere else, he really doesn't want to, the experience of being loaned to Doncaster by Liverpool is a nightmare, it's unbearable, he has no complaints about Liverpool, but he is not grateful to Liverpool, he won't go to attack Liverpool after getting back on his feet now, because he has no hatred in his heart, Leaving Anfield and coming to Millwall, he believes that this process is his valuable experience and wealth, which has made his mental strength stronger and more tenacious.

Lamore was blunt, while the other scorer was more blunt in an interview.

'Hey Klose, you've scored 14 goals this season, but Millwall have Thierry Henry, have you ever thought about leaving the team for a regular position? A lot of teams are interested in you right now, especially clubs in Germany. ”

Klose looked dazed and said: "My new home in London has just been renovated and I'm not going anywhere"

Young players who are new to the market do not earn much, and the club provides them with apartments in the community, but those who earn money and want to buy their own house will basically choose an ideal home outside.

Klose has indeed made a lot of money this season, in addition to the weekly salary increase when he renewed his contract last season, as well as his goal bonus, the team's prize money for promotion in the cup, and the salary of the main players There is a huge gap between it, and there is a lot of money to save.

He bought a house in London in February, and he will personally decorate it in his spare time, young people, living independently and making money, having their first suite, may not be luxurious, but the status in the heart is estimated to be more precious than tens of millions of mansions in the future.

Nowadays, managing a team is no longer the same as managing an army, and clubs can't shut up players from the media, and they can't ask players to put an end to commercial activities, and Becky is a good example.

But there are still rules within the club, players can be interviewed, if you can't say it, don't say it, otherwise it will only lead to burning.

These are basically the role of the agent, teaching the player how to deal with the media, maintaining the visibility and fame and increasing the commercial value, but not having a stiff relationship with the club, unless the agent advises the player to leave the club.

Ramour, Klose's remarks in interviews are something that the club will not only accept, but will win the hearts and minds of the club's management.

Aldridge was asked in an interview whether many teams are interested in Millwall's young players and whether the team will sell many Academy players at once, as they did last year.

"I don't want to portray player transfers as a convention, every player is special, different players are suitable for different clubs, Millwall's philosophy of treating players is to think about players, when we decide that a player will not have a future at the club, we don't use the word to give up on player transfers, but want to help players find a club that can continue to develop their careers and develop better, Millwall don't sell young players for the sake of selling, like Klose, He's the player Millwall will rely on in the future, I'm not saying he's going to replace Thierry Henry, but Klose is fully capable of contributing to Millwall, but he's still improving, and now he's averaging a game every 10 days. The future depends on his physical condition. Competitive level. He'll get more opportunities. ”

"But you already have Henry."

"Who told you that Millwall can only play one striker? Whether it's Thierry Henry or Klose, they can't always play as a central striker, and if I send two of them on the pitch one day, is it doomed that the two will not coexist? ”

Reporters suddenly realized that in fact, Millwall's 433 sweep of the Premier League over the years was too impressive, and they used 433 in their championship season. Last season, they switched between 442 and 433, but it was still 433 that really played a role and continued to this season's big explosion, so placing a player in the center position plus two wingers with scoring ability is the ingrained Millwall attack pattern in people's impressions.

But if Aldrich succeeds with the 442 one day, will the British be surprised? The vast majority of England fans will think that this is normal, and they have lived on 442 for nearly half a century.

Millwall passed the semi-finals strongly, and after the final opponent was released, Fleet Street sighed: The road is narrow!

Millwall's opponent in this year's FA Cup final has the Lions fans going crazy.

Chelsea!

What could be more exciting for the fans than winning the championship?

Yes!

Defeat your rivals in the final and win the championship!

While watching your beloved team win the championship, you can watch your sworn enemies saddened!

The FA Cup news lasted only two days before it was replaced by new news.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals came strongly.

Real Madrid, dressed in white, came to London a day early!

After the league title was hopeless. Real Madrid put all their energy into the Champions League.

At the turn of the millennium at the turn of the century. The confrontation between Millwall and Real Madrid was described by Fleet Street as the War of the Century!

After all, Real Madrid is the most successful team in the Champions League in the 20th century, even if the glory is gone, but history cannot be rewritten, as the only team to preserve the authenticity of the Champions League, Real Madrid certainly deserves to be the focus.

And as the strongest team in the new millennium, Millwall, this matchup, which has been named the battle of the century, is not an exaggeration.

A gimmick is a gimmick after all.

Aldridge still has to stay calm, prepare aggressively, and work with the coaching staff to make the players aware of the situation and not take it lightly.

On the evening before the big game, Aldridge gathered his players at the end of training.

"4:3, this is the result after 90 minutes, but in the semi-finals, there are still 90 minutes, or, 120 minutes plus a penalty shootout, although the probability is very low, but this is the reality, I know that you are full of confidence, which is very good, but we can't relax, we can't think that the current advantage can easily pass, I think Real Madrid has some advantages, first, their strength, in the round of 8, public opinion overwhelmingly thinks that Manchester United will beat Real Madrid, but what? Real Madrid are 0-0 at home, and the situation looks a little bad, but what about the away game? At one point, they led Manchester United 3-0. We're 4-3 up now, but what if Real Madrid scored two goals after the game started? We're 4:5 behind, can't they? Before going to Old Trafford, no one expected Real Madrid to do that. ”

Aldridge's words made the players frown.

They are indeed full of confidence and optimistic about their prospects of qualifying for the final.

But think about it calmly, what Aldrich said is not unreasonable.

The opponent is Real Madrid, who reached the semi-finals at Old Trafford.

Aldridge continued: "Second, Real Madrid have no worries, there is no hope of winning the league title, you can imagine that they will play tomorrow's game as if it were a final, so if we are not well prepared, especially mentally, then we are likely to lose to them, we have had nothing, we have had to gamble, you can understand that situation where there is nothing to lose, in that situation, the fighting power that bursts out, is what you have experienced before. ”

Aldridge's words made the players ponder, the current situation of the team is wonderful, but if you don't stay calm and recognize the situation correctly, it is very likely that the wonderful situation will be turned bad.

Nedved stood up and said to the rest of the squad with a serious expression: "Last year we went to Munich with a 1-0 lead, but in the end we were eliminated, at that time, we were very similar to today, today was probably in a better situation because we won the league and reached the final of the FA Cup, but I think last year's defeat was a certain factor that we were too good, which directly affected the performance of the game and made us take chances. The situation now is that we have plenty of time to adjust to the situation, but tomorrow if we lose the game and are eliminated, our Champions League is over, no one cares about the semi-final team, people only care about the final, so we can't have regrets, tomorrow is the final of Real Madrid, it's ours, we have to forget about Paris now until tomorrow the game is over, let's put all our energy into tomorrow's game, it's the final! If we lose at the end of the day, at least we will not have regrets, we will not regret being carried away by the advantage, and we will not let our guard down because of the comfortable situation. ”

Aldridge nodded heavily, and the rest of the team nodded wildly in agreement.

The Champions League match between Millwall and Real Madrid is on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued......)
