Thank you for the reward of "Melancholy Prince" and "2177"! Special thanks to the "Melancholy Prince" for two thousand rewards!――

In the past eleven years, there have been many players who have left Millwall, who have not played an important role in the first team, and even if the substitutes at the top of the list are not counted, Millwall are still considered to be the "export" players of European clubs, and there are too many names mentioned in Fleet Street.

There is a phenomenon that is commonplace in football, and that is the afterthought compared to the player.

If Millwall have two games in a row with a weak forward line and the form of the strikers looks to be declining, then the media will definitely mention some of Millwall's former ministers in the news, such as Trezeguet, Shevchenko, or Ruud van Nistelrooy, and the same situation will appear in other positions, when Alonso is not good, people will always mention Pirlo, and when Kaka is in a slump, people will also say that Millwall mistakenly let go of Lampard, defender, full-back, the only calm position, that is, the goalkeeper, But this position has always been perceived as lacking in Millwall.

The influence of media opinion will naturally affect the fans, even the avid fans of Millwall will occasionally miss the players who have left, and of course, Frank Lampard, Ruud van Nistelrooy and the players who played for other teams in the Premier League are not among them.

Therefore, when Aldridge decided to adopt Carter's example and engrave the names of the legendary players who created the dynasty era for Millwall on the real Champions League trophy, there will surely be many, many Millwall fans who will think of Pirlo and Zambrotta. Gattuso. Materazzi four. Perhaps Makelele won't be mentioned, as he left earlier, but he was the hero of one of those three consecutive titles.

However, if the club does not engrave the names of these players on the trophy, it will inevitably cause some nostalgia fans.

There are always many, many people who miss the old days, miss the good times of the past, time is always gone, and it is rare to be able to leave a good memory.

In order to avoid. In other words, to reassure the fans, to reduce the negative impact of the incident, and to do something better that should have had a huge positive effect, Aldridge and Carter need to come up with a better solution.

Millwall cannot deny the credit of the past to the existence of zài.

Aldrich poured another glass of wine and drank it slowly, thinking as he drank.

Carter came up with the proposal, and his mind spun fast and he said, "Well, is that okay?" We also have replicas of the Champions League trophies, like the ones we got in 2000 and 2001. It's a replica, and the player's name is engraved on the replica. What do you think? ”

Aldridge was thoughtful and said after a while: "If that's the case, it's a bit explicit, I mean, anyone with a discerning eye can see that we are deliberately avoiding the fact that the meritorious players are leaving. However, the method you mentioned can be improved. ”

Carter spread his hands and said, "Do you have an idea?" ”

'In '98, 2000, 2001, 2004, these four years, the club won the Champions League and kept all the copies, so we can engrave the season's first-team squad on these trophies. In this way, the players of the season will be remembered by future generations, when tourists visit, not only can they introduce the content of our exhibition, but also look back on the season to know which players played for Millwall in those successful seasons, they can directly visit the trophy, on the trophy you can see Millwall's first-team squad that season, after all, now the fans go to visit, the memory is deep, maybe you don't need to see it, the fans who know Millwall can tell the team lineup of the season, but what about ten years later? Twenty years from now? As time goes on, the memories of old fans are blurred, or new fans want to learn more about Millwall's history. ”

Carter thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, and then the two discussed some details, including the announcement of the time, some requirements for the player's name to be engraved on the real Champions League trophy, and what criteria the player needs to meet if the club wins a second genuine Champions League trophy in the future.

Of course, there is room for flexibility in these criteria, such as requiring a player to make more than 50 European appearances for Millwall, so if a player only makes 40 appearances, this should be accommodated.

Another example is that a player is required to play for Millwall for more than six years, but if he has only played for five years, then the criteria should also be relaxed to measure the player's contribution and club status.

As the Devil's schedule approached, Carter's mention refreshed Aldrich's mood, as if he had been recharged slightly.

As he seeks to build Millwall into one of the world's most transcendent football clubs, Aldridge is delighted to have such a partner by his side.

In mid-April, the first game of the Devil's schedule arrives in this month of Armageddon.

The Lion King Stadium.

The game has reached the 70th minute of the second half, and the score on the scoreboard is 1:1.

There were already a number of Millwall fans in the stands with nervous expressions on their faces.

In the same round of fixtures, Chelsea settled the battle early and managed to secure three points at Old Trafford.

In the live standings, Chelsea are just one point behind Millwall.

At this time, Millwall and Liverpool are still drawing at home.

"Millwall's luck is too bad today, Liverpool under the leadership of Benitez this season is not bad, but still can't shake the top four teams to dominate the Champions League places, in the most need to sprint stage, Liverpool is quite weak, which is also related to the thickness of their squad, today Benitez put an iron bucket formation away from home, it seems that it is to get 1 point at the Lion King Stadium, Millwall was beaten by Liverpool at the beginning, Owen made a follow-up shot, Millwall goalkeeper Bout's save was once again the focus of the game, which may have become a fatal mistake in the season, Millwall did not panic in the slightest after conceding the goal, they played steadily, and finally equalized in the early stages of the second half, but they were still unlucky today, Carragher brought down Henry and was awarded a penalty, Ronaldinho kicked the penalty away, Henry also missed a close header to score, but his header ability seems to be impossible to criticize. Cristiano Ronaldo and Nedved's long-range shots hit the crossbar and the post respectively, which makes one wonder if this is Millwall's home stadium at all! ”

Benitez sat expressionlessly in the away team's dugout, occasionally pulling out a small notebook to take notes.

Aldridge didn't know the whole content of Benitez's notebook, even if he hadn't peeped at it when he worked together before, but he did know that Benitez would record the players' mistakes in the notebook, and then even if the game was won, he would talk to the players with a strained face about the causes of these mistakes and how to improve them, which would often drive the players crazy

Liverpool were also pragmatic today, to put it bluntly, similar to Chelsea's.

It's the devil's schedule for Millwall, it's the same for Liverpool.

Liverpool's hopes of fighting for the top four depend on the sprint in the last few games.

Rafael Benitez was unlucky, drawing 90 minutes with Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final before losing to Jose Mourinho.

The FA Cup was also out earlier, but the League Cup reached the semi-finals, and now Liverpool's goal is relatively clear, whether the league can compete for the top four, it depends on the few league games before the end of the month, and if you can't catch up with Manchester United in front, then shift your focus to the League Cup.

Millwall three lines go hand in hand, to this critical juncture, Aldridge Tong Guò this game also seen, it is difficult to say that it is all luck, although the penalty will be scored to overtake the score, but, several good opportunities in front of the goal are wasted, this is a problem for the players to play, Millwall in the third line of the situation want to take all the spoils, this is not realistic.

The pressure on the league itself is still huge, especially in the standings, which have suppressed Chelsea since the first round of the season, if at this time, they are caught up by the opponent, or there is a 1 point and 2 points to overtake, Millwall's mentality will be turned upside down.

Aldrich walked to the sideline with a grim face, his eyes shining sharply.

Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea!

The final game of the month of Armageddon is Chelsea.

Until then, the Premier League's traditional top three want to snipe Millwall?

Don't try to succeed!

'Millwall made a substitution, we saw Villa ready to play, maybe he will replace Thierry Henry, who missed two golden chances in this game, but at this time, the pressure on Villa is probably more than ever!'

Contrary to the commentator's expectations, Villa came on and the player who replaced him was not Thierry Henry.

Aldridge didn't make a substitution, he removed Thiago Silva, a centre-back, and replaced him with a striker!

Benitez's complexion changed slightly.

He is already a master tactician, but the tactical environment he likes and is used to is knowing himself and his opponent, that is, he has studied his opponent thoroughly and knows all the changes of his opponent.

Aldrich's substitution does not fit Aldrich's style.

It's not that he won't pull the defender.

It's that he rarely pulls back defenders and then adds so much power up front.

Benitez was a little confused, and he couldn't understand what Aldridge's intention was in this substitution.

Is it simply to increase the chances of scoring in the box?

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips to supervise the battle, and without saying a word, he had an obvious wild demeanor, not disdainful of Liverpool, but to crush Liverpool!

He certainly wouldn't be so obvious about the real killer move, and before Villa came on, assistant coach Villa Boas was instructed by Aldridge to tell Villa what the focus of Millwall's attack would be.

Now, Millwall are four forwards and three midfielders on the pitch.

If you want to be forced to draw by Liverpool, then it is better to fight vigorously in the last 20 minutes, Liverpool have the courage and ambition to take three points here, so give it a try! (To be continued......)
