Aldrich's interview had a positive impact on the English people as soon as it aired.
As the panic of entering the group of death faded away, fans thought Aldridge was right.
England's World Cup is not a tourist, it is to fight for the ultimate pinnacle of world football.
Argentina, Sweden, Nigeria, what is there to fear?
If you can't win, England will go home as soon as possible, and if you win, you will be qualified to challenge the supreme god throne in football!
Seeing the wind blowing the rudder, Fleet Street immediately sang praises to the young marshal of the Three Lions, and his tone became arrogant.
The Sun: The Group of Death? England is the terminator who brought death to the other three teams!
Probably because of the impact of the group draw of the South Korea and Japan World Cup, the focus battle between Millwall and Manchester United almost did not set off any public opinion waves before the game.
Aldridge did not seek out Ferguson on the media platform, and Ferguson also retreated, even if Millwall was about to strike, he still tried to keep a low profile.
Old Trafford is in the midst of a storm, shrouded in the shadow of a three-game losing streak and a strong opponent coming to the door.
There are already quite a few Red Devils fans chanting for Ferguson to get out of class!
Runners-up in the league for five years in a row, despite the Champions League title, the Red Devils' patience is running out.
And this season, Ferguson sold Stam before the season, and the problems exposed by the back line are simply miserable, all England is a team that seems to be able to score a goal in front of the Red Devils, and there are many irrational Red Devils fans who think that Ferguson single-handedly led such a situation, if you don't sell Stam, why is Manchester United here?
The three-game losing streak in November brought the fans' resentment to a complete peak.
For no other reason, the championship has failed!
After 15 rounds, Manchester United won 7, drew 3 and lost 5!
What is the gap to Millwall? No more, no less, that's 15 points in five games!
Christmas is not far away, and Red Devils fans are not expected to be very happy this New Year.
In the midst of such internal and external troubles, there is a delicate connection between the board and the team management.
Although at the end of August, a tabloid broke that Sir Charlton was unhappy that Ferguson had bypassed the board and sold Stam. But when a fan group put up a sign calling for Ferguson's dismissal, the Manchester United board of directors supported Ferguson.
Edwards Jr. even came forward to pretend to be relaxed and said with a smile: "We gave Alex seven years, and he repaid us with a period of glory, yes, we haven't won the league in the last five years, but we are only one step away, and we won the Champions League three years ago." This gives us a lot of confidence that Alex can regain Manchester United's dominance in English football and give the manager full confidence, which is a tradition of Manchester United and our philosophy of success. ”
Disgruntled fans accused Edwards of being a traitor with Ferguson Wolves!
Ferguson was speechless.
The Edwards family is frowned upon by the vast majority of Manchester United fans, and there are some protests every season. Because the Edwards family only has money in their eyes, the pork seller is running Manchester United as a business, and Ferguson is the mediator who reconciles the two.
Well, the fans protested against the Edwards family, Ferguson intervened, the fans protested against Ferguson, and Edwards came forward to support Ferguson
How much patience Edwards had. And how much trust do you have in Ferguson?
It's hard to say, because Aldridge learned some of the inside story from Andrew that he inquired about.
In the aftermath of United's defeat to Chelsea, Edwards was in a private thunderbolt, asking a question that the entire United board of directors could not answer.
"If Alex Ferguson is sacked, who are we going to bring United back to the kingship?"
No one can answer this question, and no one dares to answer it.
In case Edwards really listened. Sack Ferguson and bring in the man who said he would, and if Manchester United still can't overturn Millwall's rule, who will bear the responsibility?
Besides, looking at Europe, what famous commander would dare to say that he could snatch the throne from Millwall when he came to England?
For the Edwards family. The core of the question is not whether you dare to fire Ferguson, but what to do after firing Ferguson?
In particular, Ferguson's dominance over the dressing room is too strong for him to leave. Manchester United's star, I'm afraid more than half of them immediately went their separate ways!
In that case, Manchester United's market value would have shrunk by a factor that would have Edwards heart attacked
Aldridge led his team to Old Trafford and, as he walked onto the pitch, it was a rare sight for him to stand on the sidelines and look around the pitch in a stadium he was already very familiar with.
The atmosphere of the stadium has changed!
Although there were still fans in the stands who were unswervingly cheering for the Red Devils, the rhythm was not consistent, and it was clear that many fans were holding their arms and watching coldly.
It seems that the aura unique to Old Trafford is weakening bit by bit.
Back in the day, Millwall came here for the first time, the first game in England, and the away game against the Red Devils Manchester United.
At that time, Old Trafford was a powerful town, and the Red Devils fans greeted the Lions with a unique arrogance.
Although Manchester United were counterattacked by Blackburn Rovers the previous season, it was also the same season that the Lions collapsed at the end of the season, and the Red Devils quickly regained the throne.
That is, since then, for five consecutive seasons, Manchester United have been inferior in the league!
Red Devils fans noticed Aldridge standing on the sidelines looking around the pitch, and the fans in the nearby stands looked indifferent.
In their eyes, six years ago, the hairy boy came to Old Trafford with a group of unknown people, and an earth-shattering 5:5 kicked off the prelude to the Wild Lion's conquest of the British, and six years later, the Wild Lion ruled Europe, Aldrich, who knows the prestige of the Young Lion Marshal in the world?
Aldridge walked slowly to the away team's coach's box, stepping on the turf of Old Trafford, step by step, step by step, as if stepping on the spring and autumn of history, a short distance, across time, dreaming back to the six-year journey.
Millwall, overthrew Manchester United's rule and knocked Manchester United to the altar.
Now King of England. There is only one, and his name is Wild Lion!
Aldridge walked to the front of the visiting team's dugout and stood still, Ferguson had no intention of shaking hands with him before the game, and he did not look at the opponent, at this time the opponent himself could not be protected, it was when the dragon was trapped in shallow water, Millwall attacked strongly. The purpose is very clear, that is, to rub salt in Manchester United's wounds and trample Manchester United into the abyss!
The current pattern of England has also made Aldridge firm in the idea of stepping down from the head coach position after next year's World Cup.
Because Manchester United's royal spirit has been exhausted in these five years, without the stimulation of the championship. Players' morale, fan mentality, club influence, football status, and so on will decline significantly, and Millwall are on the rise, as long as they complete four consecutive league titles this season. Aldridge believes that Millwall's strong team heritage and spirit will also be shaped, and that he will complete the toughest work, and then he can enjoy life as a club owner.
Players from both sides enter the field as they walk out of the tunnel.
"This round of England focus games was played at Old Trafford, and the leader Millwall won 12 and drew three in the first 15 rounds. With 39 points, they are far ahead in the standings, while Manchester United, who is playing at home, has only 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses after being defeated by Liverpool, Arsenal, and Chelsea in a row, accumulating 24 points, and the gap with Millwall is too big. With a full 15 points, it is possible that England will lose the suspense of the championship at the end of the halfway season. ”
'Martin, the problem with Manchester United is obvious, defending is one thing. Attack is on the other hand, this season, Manchester United has conceded more than 3 goals in 5 games, and the last three rounds have conceded 3 goals per game, Tottenham, Newcastle United, have scored 3 goals on Manchester United, including the game with Newcastle United, Manchester United also lost. And what about the offense? It is the key part of Ferguson's transformation this season, because last season, Manchester United scored 97 goals in the whole season, but last season it was only 79, but Ferguson bought Veron to replace Scholes, which is puzzling, because the difference between the number of goals in the previous season and last season is 18, That is, almost an average of O.5 per game, it is obvious that York's state is declining, that is, there is a problem with the forward, this problem will be improved after Van Nistelrooy replaces York, but Ferguson has bought Veron again, from August to December now, Veron's adaptation period should pass, right? However, we can't see that he has a clear advantage over Paul Scholes, on the contrary, his disappearance has been very prominent in some games, especially because he does not have the defensive ability of Scholes, which is one of the reasons why the United defence is miserable. ”
"Now when it comes to Manchester United, there are always endless questions, and their opponent today, Millwall, has shown a terrifying stability, it can be said that Millwall has completely changed the conditions for the British championship, in the United Kingdom, the championship is not only a direct competition between competitors, at the same time, it is also a confrontation with their own extreme ability, only if they do not make mistakes, can they have the opportunity to compete for the championship!"
"That's right, that's right, you know, Millwall haven't lost a single game this season, and the Champions League is still five wins in a row. Okay, let's take a look at the list of both sides.
Manchester United, 442.
Goalkeeper: Barthez.
Defenders: Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Blank, Silvestre.
Midfielders: David Beckham, Keane, Veron, Ryan Giggs.
Forwards: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Millwall, 433.
Goalkeeper: Bout.
Defenders: Schneider, Materazzi, Southgate, Zambrotta.
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.
Forwards: Larsson, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho. ”
Aldridge looked at Manchester United's line-up with a thoughtful expression.
Just looking at these people, no matter how they line up, whether it is 442 or 433, or other styles of play, it seems that they are stronger in attack than in defense, that is, Manchester United did not face the game with a defensive posture today.
Thinking of this, Aldrich smiled silently.
