This year's UEFA Super Cup was not as close as last year's belligerents, with the scene being one-sided, with Millwall overwhelmingly defeating Valencia.

At the end of the game, Aldridge shook hands with Ranieri, and the numb look on the tinker's face made many fans feel sad.

Millwall won their second trophy of the new season.

The team was disbanded in Monaco and the internationals were going to go to the national team.

After many years, Aldridge went to the Champions League group draw again.

This is Carter's advice to him, to increase exposure, and at a time when European football is turning upside down, Millwall's past comfortable form needs to sound the alarm.

Prior to the UEFA Super Cup, as is customary, UEFA's best awards are awarded.

Millwall was unsurprisingly the biggest winner.

The club footballer of the year was picked up by Ronaldo.

The best goalkeeper is Baia in Porto.

The best defender is Millwall's Nesta.

The best midfielder was Millwall's Ronaldo.

The best striker is Thierry Henry of Millwall.

And the best coach, for several years in a row, except for the previous year was won by Ancelotti, and in 2000 by Ferguson, the awards in other years were won by Aldridge, and this year is no exception.

For the first time, Aldridge gave an official interview to UEFA in Monaco before heading to the Champions League group draw ceremony.

In the interview, he did not shy away from the topic of Millwall's star defection.

'Millwall is a mature and successful club and we don't change our face because we're missing anyone, but. There is probably one issue that people have overlooked. What was Millwall's quest like? If we are limited to survival. To survive at the top level, of course, even if we are a little bit lower, we are still one of the top 10 teams in Europe, but we are not just survival, we have pursuits, we are not trying to be one of the strongest. It's about being the strongest! We surpass all other competitors, so we build our team to perfection and we don't want to have a fly in the ointment! ”

In front of UEFA reporters and cameras, Aldridge spoke eloquently and made no secret of his ambitions.

A day later, the draw for the group stage of the Champions League for the new season was announced.

After the restructuring of the Champions League, the principle of bracketing has gone through time, and the points accumulated by the strong teams have made the advantage of the seeded teams more and more. It is already difficult to produce a group of death in the group stage, unless the old giants return to the Champions League after many years of absence.

As the defending champion. Millwall's grouping, Aldridge is not worried, good and bad, in fact, there is not much difference.

Millwall, Monaco, Olympiacos, Deportivo La Coruña.

If the outside world says that this is the group of death, then only from the position of Monaco and Deportivo La Coruna, the challenge to Millwall is not great.

As the new European season kicks off, Aldridge returns home to spend time with his family, and when the FIFA match day comes, he finally doesn't have to go to the national team anymore and can steal half a day of leisure.

During this period, Millwall's new CEO, Carter, made several big announcements one after another.

Millwall will change shirt sponsors from next summer, with Adidas as their new partner, bringing Millwall an average of £25 million per season, a figure that is currently the highest in the world.

With other sponsorship deals being renewed at the same time, Carter has quickly demonstrated impressive ability in his new role by leveraging his old business connections, and the long-sleeved dance will bring Millwall's future business benefits.

After the FIFA break, Millwall's players returned to the club.

Fifth round of the Premier League.

Chelsea drew 0-0 away at Aston Villa.

In another game.

Millwall sat at the Lion King Stadium and easily defeated the visiting West Brom with a score of 4:0!

After five rounds, Millwall is at the top of the table!

Chelsea are two points behind.

Fleet Street taunted Jose Mourinho's team: You didn't even hold up for 5 rounds of the Premier League!

Aldridge was not surprised by the team's dominance in the standings, and the reporter asked about it in a few words.

Fleet Street believes that in the league competition, Aldridge's ability to control the team's physical distribution and cope with different environments is far greater than Mourinho's, and the FIFA virus has not had no impact on Millwall, but Millwall can minimize the negative effects.

Midweek League Cup.

Millwall remain at home and face a challenge from Coventry.

With only 90% attendance, the stadium, which can accommodate more than 60,000 spectators, was not full in the stands when playing a fundamentally unmatched opponent today, and fans also knew that Aldridge would rotate.

However, the crowd who came to the stadium was very enthusiastic.

Aldridge fielded a very young line-up.

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca.

Defenders: Ramos, Barzagli, Neal, Baines.

Midfielders: Pedreti, Moutinho, Kaka.

Forwards: Larsson, Villa, Glen Char.

In the league after the FIFA matchday, Kaka gave him two more days of rest because he was returning to South America with Ronaldo, and Nedved played the full 90 minutes in the last game, and his table stood out, scoring two goals against West Brom.

Coventry came up with a strict defense, Kaka was not comfortable at first, because first of all, the defensive pressure was too much, and secondly, Moutinho could not be as flexible as Alonso to attract the change of firepower to liberate him, Aldridge's on-the-spot command on the sidelines has always been to direct Kaka, let him do more tandem, let the attack be more patient in the frontcourt, and speed up the pass, through the overall rhythm of Guò to break down the opponent's dense defense.

Coventry held out for 30 minutes and set up Larsson's header in the 31st minute from Baines' wide cross.

After the score was up, the shape of the game suddenly became clear to Millwall.

Aldridge also stopped directing the movements frequently, leaving it to the players to read the game themselves.

At the start of the second half, Coventry were looking to play fast. As a result, the ball was intercepted by Pedreti just after half-time. Millwall is fast up front. After a series of quick forward crosses, Kaka broke through the middle and slotted into the box to send the ball into the back of the net.

At this time, Aldridge was ready to make a substitution and let Villa rest, and on the FIFA match day, Villa began to be used by the Spanish national team, which was an attempt, in addition to Morientes and Raul, Spain also had the golden boy Torres in the same period.

60th minute. Aldridge made a substitution and Villa was substituted and he needed to recharge for a crucial league game.

It wasn't a special change for the game, but it was definitely historic for the players and their families.

Because Millwall replaced the player, named Messi!

Since Messi entered the first team, today is the first time that Messi has been included in the squad for the game, so his father called all his family and friends to watch the game at the Lion King Stadium, and the tickets were specially sent to Messi's family by Aldridge specially asked the club to send them. And give them a place in the stands on the edge of the pitch.

At this moment, Messi's father hugged Messi's brother left and right, cheering like countless Lions fans behind him. Perhaps the applause of many fans was given to Villa who was off the field.

Messi's brother shouted excitedly and cheered him on, while Messi's father burst into tears with excitement.

This talented elf has a congenital physiological disease, fortunately, fortunately, he was not ruined by injury, and now, he has started his football dream, and has begun to really step onto the stage of the green world, towards the supreme throne!

Many die-hard Millwall fans also know Messi, they love him very much, just as they love Cristiano Ronaldo, even though they are not English nationals, but when a player comes to the club before the age of 12 and grows up here for several years, and finally plays for the club, it makes the fans treat the player with a special feeling.

Millwall junior team, youth team, that series of dazzling achievements, inseparable from Messi, Ronaldo, Aguero, the former Villa, Alonso, De Rossi and others.

The superstar cradle of the Wild Lion has produced new stars, and today he will start wearing his battle robe and fighting in all directions!

Coventry is not Valencia, they are playing away, there is a huge gap in strength with Millwall, and there are not too many thoughts of defending their honor, the League Cup draw Millwall, it is their bad luck, especially if they have not drawn the home game, if they can draw the home game, they can make a lot of money on the ticket, and now, they can only pay a little more TV broadcast fees.

After Villa came off, Larsson moved to play as a central striker, and Messi played as a winger on the right side.

Coventry doesn't pay much attention to Messi's "little bit", and they don't pay attention to how the Millwall youth team is.

Messi was not conspicuous in the early days after he came on the field, completing the pass with his teammates step by step, and when there was no time and absolute certainty, Messi did not have the idea of trying to break through.

He made a few passes, and the Coventry players who were marking him on his flank gradually lowered their vigilance against Messi.

When the game was in the 77th minute, after Kaka distributed the ball to Messi on the right side in the key marking, Messi suddenly cut inside with the ball, shook the opponent in front of him with a start, and then accelerated and changed direction into the penalty area when he came to the penalty area, breaking through the opponent's entire back line, and the stands were cheering, and Messi's father and brothers were roaring wildly.

Messi gently rubbed the ball up with his left foot, and the ball soared into the air and flew towards the goal, the beautiful arc of which was presented in the eyes of all spectators, when the ball hit the inside of the goal post at the far end of the goal and bounced into the goal!

Fantastic goal!

"Wow! Viewers in front of the TV, please remember the name of the current goalscorer, he is a very famous youth player in the Millwall youth team, his name is Messi, before he made his debut for the Millwall first team today, he has won many youth team and lower echelon honors for Millwall, he broke the personal goal record in the English Youth League last season, the goal record in the Youth FA Cup was also set by him, and now, he scored his first goal in the first team of Millwall! It's his debut! Looking at his skillful technique with his feet when he breaks through, the speed of his explosives that his opponents can't keep up with at all, and his composure when he shoots, we have reason to believe that he will achieve great things in the future at Millwall, and those who like Millwall must remember him! ”

Messi ran to the sideline with a smile after scoring the goal and rushed to Aldridge, uh, because of his short stature, more like he rushed into Aldrich's arms.

Aldrich bent slightly and put his arm around his shoulders, pointed to the stands not far away, and smiled at him: "Go and celebrate with your family, you should share this moment with them, they have done so much for you!" ”

Messi turned to look at Aldridge and said, "I know, boss, thank you." ”

Aldridge patted him on the back, and Messi said no more, trotting to the edge of the stands.

His father smiled and burst into tears, and after Messi came over, he wanted to hug Messi, but Aguero rushed over excitedly and roared: "Messi, you are amazing, you just scored a goal on the field!" It's amazing! Let me die of envy! ”

After Messi hugged his best friend, he also hugged his father and brother, and many Lions fans around him flocked to praise him, encourage him, and even young people were chasing him.

This scene was locked for a long time on live TV footage and repeatedly used as the opening scene in the future Messi's personal career review, as he rushed into Aldrich's arms and made his family extremely proud (to be continued......
