Sander's bar has long been a gathering place for die-hard Millwall fans, and in the early years, Aldridge would still meet with friends here from time to time, and the photos of Aldridge and the owners, employees, and friends hanging on the walls of the bar are the attraction of this bar and the pride of Sander.

Middle-aged Sander was wiping his glass in the afternoon, and the bar was already full of customers, all waiting to watch the televised game begin.

"Hey, Sander, if Millwall wins today, how about you treat each of us to a drink?"

Sander smiled and said: "Today's opponent is Chelsea, are you a fool to me?" We've won! If you're a man, every time Millwall scores a goal, you treat everyone to a glass of wine, and I'll give you a 7% discount, how about it? ”

There was a commotion in the bar, and the person who picked the head was not verbose, took out a stack of money and pressed it under the wine glass in front of Sander, and said with a smile: "Look at your stinginess, I will please I invite, the wild lion will score a goal, I will invite everyone to a glass of wine, if Kaka scores, I will invite two glasses." ”

"Huh? Do you like Kaka? ”

"It's my daughter who likes him, I can't stand her, the bedroom is full of pictures of Kaka, by the way, you have such a good relationship with Aldrich, can you help me ask him for a signed photo of Kaka?"

Sander smiled bitterly: "I won't help with this, now is the most critical time of the season, so I won't trouble him." ”

"After that season."

"He's going to lead the team to the World Cup!"

"Oh, why do I always forget about it, haha, anyway, if there is a chance. Do yourself a favor. ”

"Okay. I made a note of it. Since you are so generous, I am not stingy, you invite everyone's wine, I will give you a 5% discount. ”

Bang bang bang

The middle-aged man who paid for it slapped the bar and shouted, "Look, what a huge profit this bar is!" ”

Amid the noise of the crowd, Sander first collected the money from the cup in front of him.

When the TV screen began to broadcast the game, the crowd in the bar sang a ballad composed by Millwall fans, at least before the game began. The bar will be filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and then as the game progresses, waves of passion will be ignited.

Sander looked up at the ceiling TV, the camera locked on Aldridge, who was standing on the sidelines and taking off his suit, his eyes were in a trance, as if he saw the child sitting on the floor in his video shop with a notebook analyzing the game footage.

Aldrich, fifteen years have passed, and you have made Millwall stand above all people, and countless people are proud of it

Villa Park Stadium

"Welcome to Villa Park, where a match from this season's FA Cup semi-finals is about to kick off. It's no surprise that Millwall and Chelsea will be battling it out here for a ticket to the Millennium Stadium. With Millwall's main players on the bench today recuperating for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek, can Ranieri turn around Chelsea's outright disadvantage against Millwall? Let's wait and see. ”

Today, the temperature suddenly got a little warmer, the sun was dazzling, Aldridge came to the stadium and felt hot and took off his suit, he stood on the sidelines with a shirt, tie and trousers still dressed in a chic and extraordinary.

Claudio Ranieri obviously won't be as easy as Aldridge, with Chelsea barely getting a leg up on next season's Champions League and now there's only an FA Cup to fight for, of course.

Aldridge claimed before the game that Millwall would try to make the game as balanced as possible so that Chelsea's experience could not be unleashed, and the forward trident, Zola, Hasselbaink and Gudjohnsen, would not give them any chances, and Millwall would limit Chelsea's attack as much as possible in front of the penalty area.

Claudio Ranieri expects Aldridge to be able to counter-attack defensively, given that Millwall have sent a substitute to the pitch.

The confrontation in the stands has decreased, Chelsea fans are really numb, Millwall is in their seventh season in England, in the past seven seasons, in the league, in the cup, the two teams have met almost 2o times, Chelsea have not won a single victory!

In fact, this should not be too difficult to accept, and it is a matter of course for non-Chelsea fans.

Just like in the original history, Ferguson was at the helm of the Red Devils for 20 years, how many battle records did he set? Otherwise, where did the latecomer Moyes break the unbeaten record in many matches in one season?

Don't say that Chelsea, a team stronger than them, don't necessarily have a good record against Millwall, only bargaining for Millwall in some cup competitions or non-crucial battles.

Of course, Chelsea supporters are unacceptable, and it is not only the results on the pitch that are troubling them now, but also the future of Chelsea, and the club is heavily in debt, which can be a matter of life and death for the team.

Aldrich was in a somewhat gloating mood at this time.

How beautiful was it to burn money back then?

Is it fun to spend money that doesn't belong to you?

There are many teams in Serie A that have exploded into financial crises, and there are also several top teams in England that have fallen into financial crisis, which is more or less self-inflicted.

No one forces you to borrow money, you can't afford to borrow it, there's nothing to complain about.

Smoke bombs were set off before the game, and when it came to the game, Millwall surprised Ranieri from the start.

Balance?

Balance a fart!

In the early stages, Chelsea organised a wave of attacks, with Millwall forming a frantic press in midfield.

Originally, Millwall discharged a variant of the 442 formation today, just look at their list, Pedretti, De Rossi, Alonso, Ramour, Kaka, Villa, this is the midfield 6 people, obviously weakened the forward line, strengthened the midfield, Ranieri believes that Aldridge either said that the balance is true, or play defense, but the trend of the game is not at all what he expected.

De Rossi defended the front of the back line and acted as a barrier, Pedretti combined with Alonso to make a frantic interception, and Ramour pressed the midfield line from behind.

At the beginning of the game, Pedreti broke the ball at the feet of Cenden, who was innocent, and it was Pet who passed the ball to him in front of and behind the face of Ramour and Kaka. And it's a knife hill ball. He and Pedreti went to grab the ball at the same time. He touched the ball first, couldn't get a kick out of it, couldn't find a point around him to connect with, and just stopped the ball before being tackled by Pedreti.

Pedreti steals and crosses the ball to Alonso, who doesn't stop passing straight ahead, and Ramour, who has the ball in front of Petit, flicks the ball horizontally and then passes straight to Villa, who is on the right side of the line, and Villa drops back to get the ball. When he retreated, on the other side of the longitudinal cross, Kaka flew forward, attracting Terry to come out to press the defensive Villa to control the ball, and then diagonally passed behind him, Kaka received the ball when he entered the penalty area, and took a diagonal step to take a stride, and he passed the almost 34-year-old Desailly, and at the same time had a shooting angle, Kaka volleyed into the far corner of the goal from a small angle!

"Millwall has scored! Beautiful goal. What formation did Millwall play today? 433？ Or 442? In short, they have built up a very large advantage in midfield, putting strong pressure on the opposition to organise attacks. After a midfield interception, Kaka helped Millwall open the scoring! ”

Aldridge smiled and nodded, although this season is Kaka's first season with Millwall, but his growth in all aspects has satisfied the coaching staff.

Excellent talent and professionalism, so that Kaka has been a little threatening in just one season, although there are still limitations, at least in the offensive space, when teammates help to pull out the void, he knows how to swing his advantages, and does not hesitate, has an unswerving heart to move forward!

Once this talent has been tapped into the same amount, it is necessary to further develop his ability under the tactical system of controlling the style of play, after all, Millwall will be limited by opponents in most games, reducing their threat.

Ranieri's heart was struck like a blow, he thought it was incredible, it was really incredible!

Millwall, whether it is the main lineup or the substitute lineup, has a set of tailor-made and powerful tactics, which can be adjusted appropriately according to the personnel.

Obviously, he can play a good power on his own, but Aldridge suppressed Chelsea in targeted restrictions today.

Should Aldrich be said to be dedicated? Or is he always trying boldly and breaking through himself?

Because of his dedication, he will not gnaw at his old roots, and will do his best to develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses in every game, for different opponents, and seize the weakness of his opponents to fight to the death!

Obviously, Chelsea lack a ball-keeping player, a playmaking core, even if it's a hub for attacking and defending, to be top-notch, they don't have it.

Petit has not been in as good shape as before since he transferred to Chelsea, the best Petit is Arsenal's Petit, France's Petit, not Chelsea's Petit, so there are flaws in the middle defense, secondly, Chelsea is facing Millwall's compression midfield, the crazy pressing centered on the midfield, to break this game, Chelsea needs to make full use of the width of the field, only by constantly shifting, pulling the width apart, in order to avoid Millwall's key interception area.

However, with this style of play, you must first have the right player, or Manchester United's golden wings, with the central axis to transfer back and forth, and the opponent wants to grab and run past the ball? Either the team swings to the extreme and runs widely, but Chelsea itself still has some veterans who are obviously not as good as Millwall's group of lively lads in terms of team running ability.

Ranieri frowned, and Aldridge stood still on the sidelines.

Klinsmann sat in the coach's seat and whispered: "Actually, today, the comparison between our strength and Chelsea is half a pound and eight taels, but we still scored first, in such a situation, you have to admire Aldridge's coaching ability." ”

Jenson covered his mouth and said, "In the last month, I seem to have returned to his original state. ”

"Initially?"

"It's, well, the state he was in when he first took over the team in '94, maybe because history is in his hands."

Klinsmann nodded thoughtfully.

He was able to understand what Jensen meant by "history."

Millwall has won four championships in a single season since its inception, the Charity Shield, the Class Cup, the Toyota Cup, and the League Cup.

The league title has been sealed, which means that the fifth title is in hand, and there are still two titles left, the Champions League and the FA Cup.

Let's say, Millwall can win both titles.

This is definitely a great achievement of the past and the present!

Seven crowns in a single season!

Before the start of the season, he wouldn't think about it so much, but at this point, history is really in Aldrich's hands, how can he take it lightly?

So in Jenson's eyes, Aldrich's work state has returned to the original state, serious, hardworking, every second counts, and he doesn't even have time to chat and joke with friends and colleagues, and when he takes a break, he will think most of the time. (To be continued......)
