In the post-match press conference, Aldridge felt a little tired of listening to Fleet Street's praise of his merits, and some reporters used Manchester United's defeat here to set off Millwall's victory over Galatasaray today.

This kind of ecstasy soup, Aldrich will not be fooled.

Don't say that Manchester United six years ago is not the same as Manchester United today, even if Millwall plays Galatasaray in the same game, he is confident that he can still win, but he may not be able to win by four.

Galatasaray's draw with AC Milan at the San Siro may have given Trim a false sense of self-confidence, believing that he could play Millwall at home, and the change of formation in the second half was the biggest failure, but Odridge did not want to discuss these with reporters, and there was no point.

With Millwall thought they had already qualified from the Champions League group stage with two wins in their group games, Aldridge was a grim refuge in his face.

In fact, Millwall will certainly have no problem qualifying if they maintain this kind of performance, but if it is hyped by the media, it will inevitably have a psychological impact on the team, and he hopes that the team will guard against arrogance and rashness, so Aldridge claims that the next third and fourth rounds, back-to-back games with AC Milan are the key battles for qualifying.

For this reason, he also deliberately emphasized that AC Milan, who only has one point in two games, will fight to the death, and Millwall will easily qualify, and AC Milan will definitely disagree.

In the same round, AC Milan travelled to Germany and lost unexpectedly to Hertha Berlin.

Boarding the bus for the return trip, Aldrich had just sat down when a football appeared in front of him.

Henry, who was terrified when he arrived, was now in high spirits, and he scored a hat-trick. Took away the match ball. Have a teammate sign it on it. Write down the date and place of the match, the opponent against.

Aldridge took the pen handed by Henry with a smile and signed his name on football, and deliberately added the title in front of his name: head coach.

The players were excited when they won the game, but they didn't talk about the game anymore, but talked about something light-hearted and waited for the plane. Most of the players were tired and chose to rest, and Henry couldn't put down the football and closed his eyes.

He is full of expectations for the new season, he was recuperating from injuries in the first half of last season, and he played a decent game in the second half of last season, which is a transitional period to integrate into Millwall's tactical system and adapt to the central striker position, and in the new season, when he and his team-mates play beautiful attacking football, he knows in his heart that he should have the consciousness of a striker. To fight for the personal honor that belongs to the great striker.

But that kind of aggressiveness doesn't make him selfish on the field.

Millwall's football philosophy is that the team is above all else, in the tactical system. Creation belongs to the whole team, from defenders to forwards, all need to be creative and serve the team, not midfielders to create, strikers to end so monotonous and rigid, finishing, just the play of individual ability, when Larsson can single-handedly face the goalkeeper to pass the ball to Henry, Henry knows that it is him, he should also make the same choice, and it is precisely because they maintain a sense of creation and cooperation with each other that their opportunities are infinitely increased, and there are more opportunities, and when it is their turn to grasp, he must grasp it, Don't worry about personal data at all, if you can't type good data, it's a matter of personal ability, and it has nothing to do with team support.

Aldridge led the team back to London, and into October, the weather began to get colder, his life was on a tight schedule, he spent at least three nights a week in Liverpool, and could not get a good rest, because he was always woken up in the middle of the night by two noisy sons, but he did not get tired of it, Melanie came to London in late September, and she and the remaining three hot girls set out to work on a new record.

Millwall's schedule in October, due to the FIFA international break in between, so there are fewer games than in other months, and the real tough game is not in the league, the trip to Turkey's Hell home is one, and then, it will be the second half of the year to face AC Milan's challenge, during which two league games were played, Aldridge brought some substitutes on the field to play the game, giving the main players plenty of rest.

Middlesbrough 1:3 Millwall.

Millwall 3:0 Sunderland.

At the end of the twelfth round of the Premier League, Millwall won 12 consecutive Premier League games in the new season, and if you count their four consecutive wins in the final stages of the league last season, Millwall won 16 consecutive league games across the season.

There was no suspense in the outcome of the home game against Sunderland, with Millwall settling the battle after 70 minutes before starting to prepare for the Champions League.

But after the game, Aldridge made headlines with Sunderland's leading goalscorer Kevin Phillips hooking shoulders and chatting cordially at the end of the game.

Phillips, who left Millwall that year, was the biggest contributor to Sunderland's return to the Premier League in two years, under Peter Reid, Phillips was given a heavy responsibility, at the beginning of the new Premier League season, Sunderland has not yet entered the rhythm, but in the last month, they have performed very well, and in the player's individual performance, Phillips is undoubtedly Sunderland's biggest star, he alone accounted for more than 50% of the team's goals!

In fact, Aldridge and Phillips hugged and talked together after the game, just a kind of old master-apprentice reminiscence, Phillips in Sunderland from time to time in the past two years will also ask Aldridge about his personal development or skills on the field, his training in Sunderland, naturally did not get more professional guidance and training as in Millwall, but the foundation he laid in Millwall helped him to play better on the field, second only to Larsson and Henry in the scorer list is the best proof.

Fleet Street, however, thought Aldridge wanted to re-take Phillips Roy, but Aldridge denied it after the game.

The bleak autumn October is more like a season of reminiscence and remembrance.

As Millwall's clash with AC Milan was about to begin, Aldridge was asked about the old man in his pre-match press conference.

"Do you regret your decision to sell Shevchenko?"

"No regrets, he dreamed of Milan, he went to Milan and made his dream come true. I bless him. And hope he is always happy. That's what the story is all about. ”

"If you had the chance, would you buy Shevchenko back?"

"No matter what kind of world you are in, there is no if."

"Who do you think is stronger, Henry or Shevchenko?"

'I never compare two players individually, it doesn't make sense. Successful teams have successful players, but successful players may not be suitable for every successful team. ”

"Your subtext is that Shevchenko is no longer suitable for Millwall?"

"I didn't say that, but if you follow Millwall for a long time, you will see that Millwall two years ago is very different from Millwall now, Shevchenko was an important member of Millwall at that time. Henry is an important member of Millwall now, and the two have different characteristics, but in different contexts, the two are of the same importance. Now Shevchenko is doing very well at AC Milan and I don't know why you want him to leave AC Milan so much. ”

Aldrich was asked a little impatiently.

Journalists are in each other's acknowledgments.

I am afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Otherwise, where is the news?

"If Millwall wins this game, they can basically declare an early advance to the round of 16, right?"

"I said, there are no ifs, we win this game with nine points, theoretically we can't qualify. And, I don't think Millwall can easily win this game. We played against AC Milan. ”

Aldrich was bothered by the reporter's question.

He can't afford to underestimate his opponent, but he can't exaggerate AC Milan's quality too much. It's hard to balance that.

The next night, Aldridge saw Shevchenko in the players' tunnel, and the two men talked for a while.

Shevchenko became the new favourite of the San Siro as AC Milan won the league title last season, but AC Milan have not been impressive enough in the new season.

Serie A only started at the end of August, plus the league now only has 18 teams and 34 rounds of leagues, the schedule is relatively loose, the Premier League has played 12 rounds, Serie A has only played 6 rounds, AC Milan has been unbeaten in six games, but only won 2 games, there are so many big draws to see the fans are very enjoyable, which can expose from the side that AC Milan's defense has a big problem.

After Aldrich and Shevchenko finished talking, they patted each other's arms and left with a smile, and Shevchenko looked at Aldrich's back for a while.

In his memory, he never seemed to have seen Aldridge show a look of disappointment or regret, even if a player like him who helped Millwall win the Champions League was leaving, Aldridge did not say the words of retention repeatedly, the player and his negotiations were completed quickly, Aldridge retained, the player refused, OK, Aldridge asked him to leave.

Shevchenko, of course, was not abandoned, on the contrary, he abandoned Millwall, abandoned Aldrich, and pursued his childhood dream.

But neither Millwall nor Aldridge will enter the role of an outcast, and Shevchenko, as one of the most important players in the past, has found that he is now an ordinary friend in Aldridge's eyes at best.

The past is like smoke, scattered with the wind, and Aldrich never dwells on the past.

When Shevchenko stepped into Wembley in an AC Milan shirt, his heart fluttered.

It's not because the fans here welcome him back, on the contrary, the treatment he gets here is no different from that of the average AC Milan player.

As far as the eye can see, there are no fans in the stands who will welcome him with slogans or, hatefully, he is like air, like a stranger coming here for the first time!

He may have forgotten what kind of people the fans in the stands belonged to.

It's a group of people who will chant "Nobody likes us, it doesn't matter!" Fans.

Shevchenko and those who had already left, even if they would have aroused regret or hatred among the fans at the time, it did not take long for the fans to be relieved.

If you want to pursue your dreams, if you want to put on the "noble" robe, then go!

We never count on others for our survival, those who remain are brothers, family members, and those who leave are strangers or enemies.

From the norms of social life, the psychology of the Lions fans is reflected.

Should they be grateful to Shevchenko?

What should we be grateful for?

In the eyes of fans, it was not Shevchenko who made Millwall brilliant, it was Millwall who made him!

They are most grateful to Aldridge, as well as those players who have always stayed to write the legend of the club with loyalty, even if Bout is a goalkeeper, his status in the hearts of fans is a hundred times higher than Shevchenko, and it is worth their best to eulogize Bout!
