210 Finale, Escape Armageddon!
"We're going to Rotterdam! We're going to Rotterdam! ”
After the game, all the members of the first team jumped on the field with their shoulders on their backs, repeating the cheerful singing.
Aldridge celebrated and then walked over to Fernandes, who wished Millwall good luck in the Netherlands next month.
After the last meeting, the two also mentioned the possibility of player transfer in a private chat, he took a fancy to the youth team's Ronaldo, and felt that Ronaldo's style of play was very in line with Paris Saint-Germain, especially Rai's age was there, and he hoped that Ronaldo could go to France to take over the guns of his Brazilian predecessors.
However, Aldridge was adamant at the time that Ronaldo was not for sale, and the team offered him a professional contract on his 16th birthday.
Fernandez didn't repeat the old words today, and it is estimated that he also understands that he failed to reach the final, and his time at Paris Saint-Germain will depend on whether he can reverse and reach the top in the last league.
Aldridge left his players outside to celebrate, while he left Wembley early.
Last night, Manchester United played Dortmund at Old Trafford for 90 minutes, bombarding more than 20 shots but failing to find the back of the net, and finally Dortmund reached the Champions League final.
Ferguson only said after the game that the team was unlucky, and then Manchester United officially informed Millwall that Stam's transfer could be carried out in the open!
Now that Manchester United is only left with league tasks left, Ferguson needs to give the players some stimulus and make the young players realise that Manchester United will be stronger next season and not be discouraged!
So during the day today, Stam travelled to Manchester for a medical check-up. After the evening at Millwall. Manchester United have also announced that Stam will join on the first day of the summer transfer window. The transfer fee is £15 million!
Aldrich quickly picked himself up after his initial anger and disappointment.
The thrill that Ferguson brought to the Red Devils was positive.
Not only did they bring in a top central defender, but they also directly weakened Millwall's strength, as competitors, the strength of the two rose and fell, and the 15 million pounds were spent in one fell swoop!
Aldridge also needs to give the team some stimulus to make up for the morale blow caused by the Stam transfer. And what he can do, the first is the record, and the second is to renew the contract!
Contract renewal plans are on the agenda, and preliminary contract negotiations are on the table.
Millwall had won all three of their games before the Premier League finale, which was hugely inspiring, while Larsson had scored four goals in three games to bring the league tally to 38.
Elgra has been very stable since replacing Stam, but the advantages and disadvantages of the two are also more obvious, and Stam has stronger air defense. Elgra's sense of complementing is even better, and in Aldridge's tactical system. Elguera, like Gareth Southgate, is able to play the ball with precision at the back, and the invisible quality of seeing the big picture is crucial on the pitch.
It's just that Elgra and Southgate will find it difficult to resist the onslaught of powerful centre-forwards when they encounter sharp opponents with sharp crosses from the wings, but Aldridge still has Materazzi and Ferdinand on his hands, and it will not be overstretched to adjust the backline according to different opponents.
May 9th.
The day before the Premier League finale, at this moment, Aldridge was glad that the dust had settled on Stam's transfer, there was no hype in the outside world, and public opinion was too lively, and Millwall successfully survived this period of "selling panic".
Aldrich, dressed in sportswear, appeared at the press conference, sat down, picked up the glass on the table and took two sips of water, his face was not happy.
The audience was packed, and many reporters congratulated him, and Millwall's Premier League victory award was held at the end of the last round of home games, and the FA did not dare to put the award ceremony after the last game.
Because of the final game of the Premier League this season, Millwall will be away to challenge West Ham United and go to Upton Park to present Millwall with the Premier League trophy?
The FA doesn't want the tragedy of a full-scale riot, so it would never do that!
Millwall still have the FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup finals, so Aldridge postponed the club's championship celebration, everything will have to wait until after the FA Cup final on the 17th, and before that, on the night of the 15th, they will travel to the Netherlands to compete with Barcelona for the European Cup Winners' Cup.
"Will there be a substitute for tomorrow's final game?"
Aldridge held his chin with one hand and smiled lightly: "Yes, everyone knows that we have two important finals to play in the next week, the Premier League has already won the championship, and the last game will be a substitute, I think the fans can understand." ”
"But it was an East London derby."
'Just because I'm on the bench doesn't mean I'm going to give up the game and I think Millwall have a strong bench as well.
"I heard that Redknapp is the only Premier League manager who hasn't congratulated you privately, right?"
Aldrich straightened up and smiled silently, and the reporters in the audience geared up their pens to record what he was going to say next.
'Yes, I received congratulations from the managers of 18 clubs in the Premier League, the only one who didn't congratulate me was the manager of West Ham United, I can understand why, we are mortal enemies, this should be normal from the outside world, but in this regard, Gullitt has done a good job, Chelsea's hostile relationship with Millwall is well known, but Gullitt congratulated me very generously.
"Then you appreciate Gurlit's approach, but you don't agree with Redknapp's approach, right?"
Aldridge shrugged: "I can't ask people to do anything, but if West Ham United win the league title, I will congratulate them, it's a respect for the strong and a stimulus for Millwall, even if it requires my players to line up at home to welcome West Ham United, I think it's okay, it will make the players aware of the glory of the championship and inspire them, but unfortunately West Ham United won't do that." ”
Anyone knew that Aldrich was talking cool things, and the reporters tacitly smiled.
The atmosphere at today's press conference was so relaxed that Richard jokingly asked: "When do you think West Ham will win the league title?" ”
Aldrich thought seriously for a long time, and then said in distress: "I don't know what to do." Maybe one day I'll go on an expedition to the North Pole and find penguins and come back to London. West Ham United won the title. ”
"Mr. Hall. There are no penguins in the Arctic. ”
"Oh, is it? Then sorry, West Ham United. ”
The Sun's Thomson was quick to remind Aldridge, but he didn't know that Aldrich was just joking.
Thomson's cooperation caused the scene to burst into laughter
Aldridge's taunt of West Ham soon spread throughout East London, with Millwall fans delighting it and West Ham fans hating it!
What's the most painful thing between mortal enemies?
Everyone is in the same league, and they can have a chance to play each other!
What is the most hated thing?
The other party is the champion, but his own family is in relegation!
The Premier League finale is no longer in suspense for the teams in the top half of the table.
Champion. Millwall.
Runners-up, Manchester United.
As for who qualifies for the League Cup, there is no suspense.
Newcastle United, Liverpool, Arsenal.
Chelsea's reach for the FA Cup final will also see a ticket to next season's European Cup Winners' Cup, whether they win or lose.
Therefore, the closing game has lost its point significance for the teams at the top of the table.
However, for the teams in the relegation zone, the closing game is a tragic battle that has rarely been seen in many years!
Nottingham Forest were relegated early.
There are still two relegation spots, and there are as many as 6 teams in danger of relegation! This also precludes the theoretically imminent possibility of Blackburn. Because they have a goal difference, as long as it is not for other relegation teams to brush up on double-digit scores and they lose at home by a large score. They basically don't downgrade.
Of the remaining six teams, Coventry City has the lowest points with 38 points and Everton with 42 points.
Because Everton has a clear goal difference, if the other relegation teams win and he loses by a large margin, then there is a possibility of relegation.
Matches where there is no direct dialogue between relegation opponents.
There is no doubt that the season finale will be a frantic Premier League escape showdown!
This is even more exciting than the fierce competition for the championship in previous years, because these relegation teams undoubtedly have to work hard in order to stay in the Premier League!
Millwall travelled to the north bank of the River Thames the next day to visit Upton Park.
With the team mired in a relegation battle, West Ham United fans have focused on their belief in relegation, and as a result, the intensity of the confrontation between the two teams has decreased off the pitch.
The Lions fans sang in droves that Millwall was the champion at Upton Park, while the Hammers fans looked gloomy in the stands and a gloomy cloud hung over Upton Park, nervous as they listened to the radio with headphones on their headphones and kept up to date with the scores of the other games.
When Aldridge entered the stadium, it was rare that no fans booed him, which made him feel strange.
He stood on the sidelines and looked up at the sunny sky, then looked around the court, then retracted his gaze, felt a little hot, took off his suit jacket and put it on his seat, and stood on the sidelines in a shirt, trousers and tie.
Lao Lei and his team members did not appear for a long time, and it is estimated that Lao Lei was doing pre-war mobilization in the locker room.
With three minutes left before the start of the game, the players finally walked out of the players' tunnel, and Lao Lei also walked out with a solemn face, and glanced at Aldrich, who also looked at him, and Lao Lei's reaction made Aldridge almost not laugh.
Like a frightened little animal, he retracted his gaze in a panic and turned his head to the home team's dugout.
"Hi, I'm Martin, Andy sitting next to me, today is the day of the 1996-1997 English Premier League finale, all the games will kick off at the same time, we broadcast the East London derby live at Upton Park, it's really unexpected, Millwall won the league title in the second year of the Premier League, and West Ham United, which had an absolute strength in the past, fell into the miserable situation of relegation, however, today Redknapp should be happy, fortunately, Millwall was crowned the Premier League champion in advance, If Millwall are still in contention for the title in the final round, then Hall will definitely field the strongest line-up, and instead, they fielded a substitute line-up today. ”
"Yes, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides, West Ham United sent the whole main team Millwall side is a substitute to face the game, only goalkeeper Bout insists on starting, I think this is Hall to keep the goalkeeper in shape. Defenders: Mills, Materazzi, Ferdinand, Zambrotta. Midfielders: Gattuso, Lampard, Ballack. Forwards: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Toney, Phillips. ”
Aldridge's forward combination today is really amazing.
In the position, Tony and Ruud van Nistelrooy were in front, and Phillips was hiding behind them.
He just scared Lao Lei, and it was up to him to see if Lao Lei was afraid.
"It's important for us to give a brief overview of the Premier League standings, with the bottom seven teams in the table having the following points.
Everton 42 points.
Southampton 41 points.
West Ham United 39 points.
Middlesbrough 39 points.
Sunderland 39 points.
Coventry 38 points.
Nottingham Forest 32 points.
Nottingham Forest at the bottom have been relegated, but the other six teams are in danger of relegation, Everton are in the best position, as long as the teams behind do not win all of them, and not by a big score, they can go ashore, and the other five teams except Coventry must win, their goal difference will also play a key role! At the end of the 90 minutes, we will know who will survive and who will fall into the relegation abyss! (To be continued......)
