After a two-day break, the Millwall players did not go crazy during the two-day break and when they returned to the squad for training for the Champions League final, it was clear that they were in good shape.

This probably has something to do with their mental state, the good habits they have developed over the years, and the fact that the team's mental elements have become stronger this season.

Aldridge's work is still meticulous and on track.

The day before the trip to Turkey, on this day, was Aldrich's birthday.

The young marshal is 29 years old.

Early in the morning, while he was still in his office, Carter pushed the door in and asked with a headache, "Aldrich, how have we lived in the past few years?" ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Is there anything special about today? ”

Aldrich sat behind his desk with his chin propped up, puzzled.

Carter sat down across from his desk and exclaimed, "The first thing I did when I came to the club was when I was told by my assistant: Millwall's official website has blown up!" Our official website server went down, and our mailbox was also down when it was full of mail! ”

Aldrich frowned and said, "Didn't you upgrade the server once last year?" ”

Carder nodded: "Yes, I just learned today that every year when you have a birthday, the club will upgrade the website server!" ”

Aldrich tilted his forehead and couldn't help but laugh.

He and Carter are both very mature men, like a birthday or something, it's just simple, there's no need to make it very grand.

However, many years ago, when the day of Millwall's Champions League final collided with Aldridge's birthday, and at that time there were fans in the stands who put up signs wishing Aldridge a happy birthday, since. Aldrich's birthday is no secret.

On his birthday. Fans from all over the world send their blessings in the mail. There are also those who leave messages on the official website and even mail gifts to the club.

For the club's players, Aldridge advocates active care, and will engage in some "surprise attack" internal celebrations on the players' birthdays, so that the players can feel warm and cared for in the club.

But his birthday, many years ago, was repeatedly ordered and ignored by the club. After all, he is the leader of the team, if the season is over, the players go their separate ways, the season is not over, it means that there are still games, as a manager, how can you celebrate your birthday with great fanfare?

I can't stop the enthusiasm of the fans.

So, Millwall's official website and public mailbox will go through a test of life and death on this day, and the experience of the past years tells the club: network hardware needs to be upgraded once a year. The upgrade date will be after May 20.

Carter is gone, and it should have been an easy day. As a result, he has to deal with the gifts received by the club from fans around the world, even if it is a greeting card, the club has to make a reply letter to show that it is valued!

In this way, the club's fan base overseas can be better developed.

Even though the work was not done by Aldrich, someone did it for you.

But just like a celebrity, the work team around the celebrity is doing a lot of the work of interacting with fans.

Aldridge doesn't care so much, he is calm, the day before the trip, the training task is not too heavy, and the team atmosphere is very relaxed.

He supervised the training on the sidelines of the training pitch and chatted with his fellow coaching staff.

It's just that players like Schneider, Ronaldo, De Rossi and other players always feel a little strange when they occasionally look at him, and Aldridge only understands that they want to say happy birthday to themselves.

But when he walked out of the office to the parking lot after the afternoon training, he was stunned.

The car in the parking lot was pried open!

The rear door is open because it won't close!

He cautiously walked over and saw a foot peeking out of the back seat of the car, and it was that foot that kept the door from closing at all.

When he got closer and closer, he realized that the "foot" was the "foot" of the puppet doll.

The inside of his car, except for the driver's seat, other spaces are crammed with things!

Part of it is a carefully packaged gift box, part of it is packed in a handbag, there are the latest computers, game consoles, leather shoes, clothing, non-mainstream ornaments, cowboy hat The "feet" of the ragdoll doll are pressed at the bottom, and he opened the top before he saw clearly, the template of the doll was himself!

It's just that the Q version has been reduced a little bit, almost 1.5 meters tall.

Aldrich couldn't help but laugh, if he still couldn't figure it out at this time, then he really lived in vain!

It was definitely a birthday present from the players!

Just as he was about to call and "reprimand" them, the originally quiet parking lot suddenly resounded with the sound of chanting in unison, which almost scared Aldrich to sit on the ground!

"Boss! Happy birthday! Hahahaha! ”

In all directions, all the cars that were still parked in the parking lot, poked their heads out of the driver's seat, and all the first-team players laughed, and after shouting in unison, they immediately started the car and left quickly!

Aldridge's head was a little confused.

When he arrived, he saw that the parking lot was full, and he thought that the players had not left yet, and he did not see anything unusual.

Unexpectedly, they were actually in the car for a long time, and they must have lowered their heads to prevent outsiders from finding out, and then fought an "ambush" here!

Aldrich was a little dizzy.

Dumbfounding.

He didn't know who gave each of these gifts, but he especially wanted to know, who made this humanoid doll?

Afterwards, Kaka took the initiative to admit that he sent it.

Finally squeezed the stuffed carriage of gifts, closed the door, and Aldrich drove home.

He didn't drive the car into the garage, because for the family, his birthday was a special day after all, Aldrich would not hold a birthday party, and would go to Arthur's side in the evening, which was a small family reunion.

He struggled to hold the doll in his right hand and a few handbags in his left hand, and with difficulty took out the key to open the door, and as soon as he entered the door, the sound of the color cannon startled him again, and the things in his hand fell to the ground.

"Happy birthday, Dad!"

The view of the house was very dark, only a few candles were lit on the coffee table in the living room, which looked like a candlelit dinner atmosphere, and the colored cannons that Earl and Bert pulled by the door from left to right made Aldrich's heart beat faster again.

"You scared me to death! I thought there was an earthquake! ”

The color bar fell, Earl and Bert ran into the living room, Aldrich couldn't figure out what the two brothers were going to do, just bent down to pick up the two handbags, his face was held, raised his head, Evan kissed his lips affectionately, after a long time, she also said with a smile in her eyes, "Happy birthday." ”

Aldridge replied, "Thank you, but you're here to help me, I still have a lot of things in my car that I need to get back." ”

Only then did Evan notice that there were a lot of things on the ground, and they all blamed the light for being too dim.

She went outside to help Aldrich carry all the gifts back in the car, and Bonnie ran over and rushed into Aldrich's arms, kissed Aldrich on the face, and said with great interest: "Happy birthday, Dad." ”

When Evan brought things in, Aldrich asked curiously, "Why don't you turn on the lights?" Candlelit dinner? Didn't you say you should go to Arthur's side? ”

In fact, it is a candlelit dinner, which in itself feels very strange.

Because it should be a world for two, not a family dinner.

Evan smiled without saying a word, and at this time, Bert and Earl were holding a large plate from the kitchen, and inside the plate was a very ordinary cake, chocolate-flavored, with lit candles on it, and Earl and Bert walked into the living room with the dinner plate in their hands, and sang a birthday song at the same time.

Evan whispered in Aldrich's ear, "This is a birthday present they made with their own hands." ”

Aldrich was speechless.

Although Earl was a big headache for him, and he seemed to be unproductive most of the time, it would be a mistake to say that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.

As long as he is interested in something, he will put in the effort to study it.

Just like making cakes, he filmed an advertisement for a cake shop, so he became interested, although the craftsmanship is not particularly good, but it is no problem to make a qualified cake, presumably he brought his brother Bert, and the brothers worked together to make this birthday cake for Aldrich.

The reason why I lit candles in the living room is probably because of the current environmental effect.

Aldrich knelt down in front of the coffee table and blew out the candles, and then began to enjoy the birthday cake that the children had made for him.

In the corner of the living room, there is now an extra furnishing, at least Aldrich thinks it is half furnishings, half toy things, pianos.

Bonnie also has a birthday present for her father, and she is going to play a birthday song for him.

However, she has only been playing the piano for a long time, and it is easy to make mistakes, especially when she makes a mistake, she will panic, and the piano music played by the director is very awkward and weird, and in the end, she cried instead, Aldrich walked and sat in front of the piano with a smile, hugged her and made her happy, and then encouraged her to slowly play the piano again, and soon, a simple and smooth piano piece came out, Bonnie burst into tears and laughed, and Aldrich closed his eyes to reminisce about the simple melody.

Aldrich celebrated his 29th birthday the day before his trip to Turkey, and on that night, he also received a gift from Evan as well.

Evan tattooed Aldrich's name on his body, and proudly let Aldrich admire it after untying his wide clothes, which made Aldrich also germinate the idea of tattooing, and he wanted to tattoo the names of Evan, Bert, Earl, and Bonnie on his body.

On May 21, the whole team of Millwall left for Istanbul, Turkey, and the Champions League final is approaching.

On this day, AC Milan, as Millwall's Champions League final opponent, is still in Italy, they are the first team to start this round of Serie A, but at the same time, Millwall has arrived in Turkey to start the final preparations before the Champions League final!

This season, Millwall's strategic initiative has been carried out almost throughout the season! (To be continued......)
