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

Four months ago, Millwall's poor Christmas Express schedule caused the defending champions to drop out of the top four, top five, and sixth in the league.

After the sale of Didier Drogba and Essien in the winter transfer window, Millwall has been calm and the squad has leveled off.

But this stability is not invincible, but steady and rising, without the shadow of the strongest lions, and the strength roughly stays in the top ranks of the Premier League, not a state of detachment and independence.

At least, that's how the shape shì in the standings is displayed.

Fleet Street is happy, and even the Premier League fans are happy.

For a league, suspense is the most important thing.

The suspense of the Premier League title this season is more intense than in the past few years.

Triwizard Tournament!

When there are six rounds left in the league.

Millwall surged back to third place from sixth in the league at the halfway point, just one point from the top of the table.

Manchester United are level on points with Arsenal, and they are closely followed by Millwall.

Millwall's two fronts in the domestic cup were declared out, but they were out of the Champions League group, and moved to the Europa League as the third in the group. and the Europa League.

Although Klinsmann received some praise for his second half of the season, he managed to halt Millwall's slide in the league and fight his way back into the title race. The difference of 1 point is negligible, anyway, it's just one or two games.

But there is more and more controversial news surrounding Millwall.

"Joe Cole is jealous and fights again!"

'FA Cup out night, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, Robben nightclubs.'

"Ronaldinho, who lost the Ballon d'Or, has no smile, he is a cancer in the Millwall dressing room!"

Larson, who was silent, was sympathetic and supportive to many of Millwall's old ministers. Millwall's locker room splits! ”

'Henry was privately unhappy that he had been placed on the wing, complaining: Why should I give up the centre-forward to Klose?

"Kaka's father threatened Millwall not to give Kaka a main force again, and the Brazilian genius will seek a transfer!"

April 12th.

Aldridge came to Old Trafford with his two sons. Sit back in the VIP box and get ready to watch the game.

It is not uncommon for Fleet Street to hype up the news of Millwall, and the words in the newspapers are obviously not to be taken seriously, let alone the information channels. It's always a "guess" or side-by-eye way to get it. Unconvincing.

In the penultimate round of the league, Manchester United hosts Millwall, and the difference between the two teams is one point, which is likely to determine the final suspense of the league title this season.

Because there is still a league game between Arsenal and Manchester United, if Millwall wins this game, then in the next five rounds of the league, Millwall will be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, and if Manchester United wins. The final title could be between Manchester United and Arsenal, and two rounds later at Highbury's Mountain!

Manchester United's side. Although the relationship between Xiaobei and Ferguson fell to a freezing point, Ferguson still sent Xiaobei in the key battle.

On Millwall's side, Klinsmann has a more gorgeous attacking system in the second half of the season, which is okay and does have potential to be tapped, with two midfielders who can attack and defend well, with Alonso and Nedved in charge, and an attacking trident behind Lampard and a big diamond attack group.

It's just that Klose was arranged in the center, and Henry pulled the side, and Fleet Street falsely rumored that Henry was dissatisfied with playing winger, which can't be said to be unreasonable, Henry himself has the ability to play winger, but he is obviously more qualified to play center than Klose.

As for the "Ronaldinho is Aldrich's own brother" that was laughed at in the past, it has now become "Klose is Klinsmann's own son".

Larsson was abandoned for one or two poor games, Ronaldo is still young, and his table naturally has ups and downs, and Henry will play as a winger after his return, but Klose, whether he is good or bad, is the main center forward who can't be beaten.

This game made Aldridge angry!

Such a critical battle, Xiao Luo, Henry, and Klose are all out of shape!

They look positive, but they have lost all their aura, and they don't know if they are tired or numb, and it feels like they are playing routinely, and Nedved's shouting at them only adds a lot of useless personal clumsiness, treating the Manchester United defense as a papier-mâché that can be broken if you want to?

Ferguson did not have a full-time defensive midfielder for Millwall, and deliberately changed to a strong attack in the middle, the effect was not obvious, but it faintly made people feel that this play was correct, because seeing Nesta and Southgate frequently fill in the position, assist in defense, and hastily disrupt the opponent's attack, I know that in fact, at a certain moment, the crisis appeared at the moment of emergency, if it were not for the excellent and excellent interception awareness of the two defenders, I am afraid, I am afraid that it would have been beaten to a thousand holes.

When the full-time whistle blew, at Old Trafford, the Reds fans all spoke out in unison.

"Millwall! Who is the boss in England? ”

The scoreboard shows a glaring score.

1:0

Manchester United scored the only goal of the game from a set-piece, but they were still unable to get past the back-of-house defence of Gareth Southgate and Nesta.

The contribution to the Red Devils is the familiar figure of thousands of Red Devils: David Beckham.

At the end of the game, Aldridge stood up and saw the Millwall players on the field with their heads down and walking quickly off the field, as if they were stingy to express their feelings of loss.

Klinsmann froze in place, and it wasn't until Ferguson came to shake his hand that he came back to his senses and shook hands in a cohesive manner.

Below the box, countless Red Devils fans turned to Aldridge and let out a mocking laugh.

At this moment, Aldridge was not England's greatest young marshal. He is the most hated lion creator in the eyes of the Red Devils.

At a young age, Bert put on a fierce appearance of gritting his teeth, stood in front of Aldridge with his fists clenched, and stared at the fans below who looked like demons without showing any weakness.

Earl spun and slipped into Aldrich's arms. The child, who kept saying that he had grown up, secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Aldridge left Old Trafford with his two children, ignoring Alex Ferguson's text message inviting him to the office.

On the flight home, Aldrich kept pondering.

Eventually, he came to a conclusion.

The earth doesn't revolve around him.

He wants his family to be happy and happy, he wants to spend more time with his family to enjoy life, and he also hopes that the Wild Lion can continue to be transcendent in the post-Aldridge era.

Things of the world. How could it all be as he wanted?

In his eight years at Millwall, he gave up a lot, the first being time. He put all his energy into his work, so his success, even if it has an innate advantage. He also felt that he deserved it.

Right now. He wants to watch from the sidelines, admiring the invincibility of the team he has built, still standing at the top, it seems, too naïve.

Once home, Bert and Earl are depressed and begin to hide from Aldrich.

The next day, Fleet Street published a blockbuster feature report.

"The Lions' domination of the Premier League is over!"

After Millwall's defeat to Manchester United. Arsenal also swept the Saints Southampton 6-1 at home, with the top two teams tied on points four points off Millwall.

With 5 rounds left in the league. Millwall's hopes of defending their league title are getting slimmer and slimmer, as four points represent a two-game difference.

Although Manchester United and Arsenal will also stage a battle for the dragon, but Millwall's next five rounds of league games, which also have hard bones, first of all, the next game to challenge the Magpies Newcastle United, and the final game will also play the Red Army Liverpool, both teams are aiming to get Champions League tickets in the top four, and now they are ranked in the top six, you can imagine the difficulty of the game.

In view of this, Fleet Street could not wait to declare the end of Millwall's dynasty, and this season, it was no longer able to dominate Europe, and at the same time, the domination of England was also declared to have collapsed!

On Thursday night, after dinner, Bert wiped his mouth with Earl and ran upstairs, and Aldrich screamed, but they both pretended not to hear.

Aldrich frowned lightly and said to himself, "Do you want some domestic violence?" In the past two days, they have not been obedient at all, and they will not agree, and it is not good to go on like this! ”

Hearing this, Evan, who was cleaning up the dishes, put down the plate in his hand, came to Aldrich and sat down, and said softly: "They have really grown up." ”

"Huh?"

Aldrich turned his head to look at him, puzzled.

Evan held his hand and said softly: "After you came back from Manchester that day, they secretly asked me, are you sad that Millwall lost to Manchester United?" I'll tell you the truth, I sue them, you must be in pain inside. So, they have been avoiding you for the past two days, do you know why? ”

Aldrich probably guessed, for some reason, his heart was a little sour, I don't know if he was moved, or if he was really proud of his child.

The two little masters who don't know the taste of sorrow also know how to understand the feelings of adults?

Evan continued: "They thought you were leaving the club to make them happy. They love having you around, but they also want you to be happy. You are their omnipotent father, and for most of the past six months, they will often sneak a peek at your past games in charge of Millwall, just to see you on the sidelines, the father who can be madly happy. ”

Aldrich closed his eyes, just to hide the moisture in his sockets, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not fair to say this, at home, I have more joy, but I won't go crazy." ”

Evan smiled: "But you didn't notice it yourself, you will also have distractions at home, especially when you eat breakfast in the morning, pick up the newspaper and open the sports section, and see the news of the Wild Lion, you can't help frowning, and then think about it for a while, you don't realize that when you make these actions, Earl and Bert always keep their mouths flat, as if they are worried about you, they are really good boys, I hope Bonnie can be like them in the future." ”

Aldrich sighed, I really don't know whether it was joy or sorrow, Evan stood up, leaned from behind him and kissed him lightly on the face, and finally said in his ear: "Don't feel indebted in your heart, I hope this home is your support, not your burden, just like Bert and Earl, they want you to be happy, I also hope, play golf, watch horse racing and dog racing, go shopping, participate in amateur bicycle competitions, go diving trips for most of the year, your life is not regular at all, And you're always trying to find a proper rhythm, go back, if you don't go back, just watch Millwall fall step by step, you're not reconciled. ”

Evan cleaned up the table, and Aldrich still sat at the table, reflecting on her words.

At this moment, his cell phone rang and he glanced at the caller ID.

Caller: Klinsmann. (To be continued......)
