When the England team returned to London on a special plane with the European Championship, except for Southgate, who withdrew due to injury, he had already returned early, and the other players, including Owen, who was not seriously injured, were having fun on the plane.

Aldridge had a secret conversation with the FA president in the front row of the plane.

This time, no player tried to keep Aldridge again, not because they didn't want to, but because they knew it was a tough one.

Not to mention that the intensity of competition at the club level in European football has quietly changed, just in the national team, they can feel that Aldridge's enthusiasm for the job is declining sharply, maybe the players are starting to be disobedient, maybe everyone has achieved something, and the ambition is no longer the same.

FA President Thompson opened his mouth to keep Aldridge, but he did not get Aldridge's nod and promise, and at the moment of the end of the European Cup, Aldridge's contract with the FA officially came to an end.

At this moment, Thompson is asking Aldridge for advice, hoping that Aldridge can give a suitable successor.

In the past few years of cooperation with the FA, despite the small contradictions, the two sides are still very happy in the overall situation, and in the discussion of choosing a successor, Thompson is not worried that Aldridge is selfish, especially in this European Cup, Aldridge suppressed Rooney in the line-up and reused Gerrard, no one will doubt that Aldridge's position on official affairs has been tilted.

Aldridge is more difficult, and he will definitely not start a discussion with Thompson in the past, because it is tantamount to digging a hole for himself.

The successor will lead the team with a bad record in the future, so his opinion at this time will become a disaster trigger. It will be criticized.

But. Aldrich didn't want to think about it that much at this time. Based on his long-term relationship with these international players and the feelings he has accumulated, he also hopes that his successor can make the national team develop smoothly.

The FA has its own arrogance.

England will not use foreign coaches.

This was all the more unwavering after Aldridge led his team to a dynasty-like reign.

With English football so successful, how could the public want to see a foreign coach coach in charge of the Three Lions?

As a result, the selection range was very narrow, and Aldridge finally gave Thompson two names, who to choose. Leave it to the FA for internal discussion.

One is Hodgson.

One is Redknapp.

Not to mention the current stage, it is estimated that in the next ten years, only these two local coaches can make do with the selection of coaches for the England team.

It's not how strong they are in coaching, it's that other stronger ones can't be chosen.

After giving the names of these two candidates, Aldridge's cooperation with the FA is completely over, and with the outstanding contribution of winning the World Cup before and now winning the European Cup, Aldridge's invisible power in English football has become stronger.

In London, tens of thousands of England fans came to meet the airport, surrounding the airport. Yan zhòng affected the traffic around the airport, and even the whole city of London was partying. Fans in the streets were everywhere in celebration, singing ballads in praise of England and flying flags with the names of the decorated players or Aldridge, and it was a day of sleepless in London.

Back home, the England squad was received by the Prime Minister and visited Downing Street, and then met the Queen at Buckingham Palace for a royal feast.

They celebrated their victory in the city's square, and Aldridge caused a stir when he appeared in casual clothes.

Putting down the whip of the national team, he has also become much closer to many players, and the friendship that has been condensed in the past three and a half years of working together has turned into friendship.

It's just that in this wave of celebration of the victory, it is not perfect, Aldrich has not seen Rooney.

Maybe a qiē happened at the European Championship that hurt Rooney.

Aldridge wished he could figure it out for himself, he had said it many times, and as an elder, he didn't want to have a conflict with Rooney, it didn't make sense.

But if he can't figure it out, Aldrich won't be strong, and the road will be half the way.

If England had been planted, Aldridge would have reflected, but if England won, it proves that everything he did was right, and he didn't want to talk to Rooney anymore about what happened at the European Championship.

The facts are in front of you.

Aldridge left the national team and there was no official farewell within the team, but the FA held a cocktail party to honour Aldridge and presented him with a specially crafted award as a memorial.

After the championship celebrations, the internationals had to take a break and on parting, some of the internationals approached Aldridge to discuss some issues about the development of their individual clubs.

Lampard wants to return to Millwall, he was not bad at Inter Milan last season, but he can't afford a team alone, especially when he adapts to life in Italy, it is not smooth, and it may also be that he misses England's "world of flowers", Inter Milan was not a disaster last season, but it was not successful, Moratti has changed coaches in a row, and the team is turbulent, and it is good to be able to keep the Champions League seat.

Aldridge did not give Lampard a positive response, tactfully rejecting him.

Millwall's next phase of construction has been on the right track, Kaka has been in England for three years, adapting to life in England, adapting to the football style here, integrating into the Millwall team, plus his technical ability and physical cultivation during the same period, and it has also reached the stage where Aldridge can be used boldly and with confidence, as a super-first-class team, Millwall can break out in the next few seasons, but the premise of the outbreak is to stabilize the dìng, and the stability of the team is particularly important, therefore, Aldridge will let Nedved start to take a back seat, and Kaka will officially take the position.

Frank Lampard said goodbye to Aldridge with some disappointment.

Gerrard also came to communicate privately with Aldrich, the Liverpool captain wanted to ask Aldridge about his career development, and at the same time knocked on the side to inquire about Benitez, he wanted to know the bottom of his heart in the new season, Liverpool does not have the Champions League, which is not in line with his ambitions, for his old friend Benitez, and Aldridge's new enemy, Aldridge simply told Sù Gerrard to let him trust Benitez, A manager who has won the title from Barcelona and Real Madrid twice in three seasons doesn't need to prove anything to his players, and while they are the best in the league in the eyes of the English, La Liga teams won't look so strong.

Owen has a strong desire to transfer, he has played in Liverpool for more than 5 years, but the league championship is far away, and he already has the World Cup and the European Cup, he hopes that his career will be more perfect, the league + Champions League, is his next important pursuit, he also came to ask Aldridge about the transfer intention, even, in his vague expression, Aldridge can hear that Owen is willing to come to the Lion King Stadium to play as a substitute forward, even if he can't compete with Henry, as long as he is the first person on the bench.

Many years have passed, Aldridge has forgotten what happened when he came to persuade Owen to join Millwall, but maybe Owen still remembers, in the national team, Aldridge made him and made him extremely dazzling, in the words of the football circle, Owen is willing to die for Aldrich, so he hopes to serve Aldrich, but Aldrich still did not accept Owen's vote, avoided the topic of his transfer to Millwall, but persuaded him to stay in Liverpool, Benitez knows people well, He can get enough support at Liverpool, but if he leaves, not to mention that the Italian style is not suitable for his development, even if he goes to other giants, he may be difficult to integrate.

In the construction of his career, Aldrich brought up another cliché topic, hoping that Owen would better take a break for half a year, at least! He's only 24 years old!

Just like Nesta, who came to Millwall, although there was an opportunity for injury, Aldridge insisted that he recuperate for most of the season, which led to last season's wonderful performance, and there were no major injuries.

Aldridge has just bid farewell to the England national team, and an important piece of news has shocked the English football world.

Scholes, who will only be 30 years old at the end of the year, announced his retirement from the England national team!

His exit, similar to Aldridge's successful retirement, is that he wants to dedicate the rest of his career to Manchester United without reservation!

His voluntary withdrawal from the national team has caused a lot of controversy, with some criticizing him for his selfishness and some Manchester United fans expressing strong support for him.

Gary Neville also wanted to quit, but he was still unwilling to do so, and he missed the World Cup in '02 due to injury, and he wanted to play in another World Cup, and then opted out after leaving for Germany two years later.

Aldrich paid no more attention to the outside news.

He got married.

Inviting many relatives and friends, accompanied by the whole family, he and Evan held a wedding at sea and went on a sea trip on his luxury cruise ship

In the summer of '04, Aldridge led Millwall to a dynastic restoration and led LinkedIn Gran to their first European Championship.

It has been an unparalleled year for him.

However, the war that belongs to him continues.

The last few years have been a spectacle over Stamford Bridge, with gloom and gloom being the most common sight for Chelseamen, but since last season, Stamford Bridge has become a barracks, a base that is more like an arsenal than a frugal Arsenal!

Jose Mourinho landed at Stamford Bridge for more than a month, and Chelsea's "arms race" has intensified, causing European giants to be at risk, for fear that the pillars of their families will be lured away by the rubles wielded by Chelsea.

The conversation at Chelsea is always the question: who will they buy?

And this fire, finally, finally, inevitably burned to their mortal enemy: Millwall!

Mourinho didn't care that Abou was burning money, it was because Abuken was burning money that he chose to come to Stamford Bridge, although he was a little disgusted that Abu's command of the team was obviously out of bounds, but after seeing Abu's list of acquisitions, he had to keep his mouth shut and not protest.

Because the people Abu wants to bring to him can not only greatly improve Chelsea's combat effectiveness, but also directly weaken the strength of the biggest competitor in the entire European football world! (To be continued......)
