The Young Lion

Chapter 206: Ten of them, one traitor



The more the end of the season, the harder the head coach\'s work, especially the coach like Aldridge who leads the team and has the championship to fight for.

Going home on Sunday evening, parents were welcoming the Puskas at home. In the past year, Puskas’ life was very regular. In addition to receiving treatment in the hospital on weekdays, they watched a game every week, but basically did not leave In London, he will be the focus wherever he goes, and Arthur is inseparable from him, taking him as a guide to wander around the city.

At the dinner table, Arthur proposed to go abroad for a holiday together in the summer, and to travel around the Mediterranean resorts. The Puskas and his wife couldn\'t help but agree.

This made Arthur very excited, he immediately called Barnett, and said to his son domineeringly: I will travel with my friends and get a large yacht.

Barnett has stayed in the United States since the beginning of the year. Last year, he began to cash out investment in Southeast Asia. At the beginning of this year, he completed the withdrawal of investment in Southeast Asia and then transferred to the international capital market. He met many Wall Street finances in the United States. Speculators, like a second attack on the football field, Barnett withdrew his investment, a reminder from Aldridge, then in turn, on behalf of Aldridge not optimistic about the market prospects in Southeast Asia, it happened that Barnett was in Wall Street heard some rumors that international financial speculators are going to do a big game in Asia, and Barnett will naturally take part in it.

Therefore, Barnett reluctantly told Arthur: I don’t have a yacht, and I don’t have free money to buy it recently. I can only find a friend to borrow one.

Arthur didn\'t care about those, as long as there were, no matter who he was.

Barnett quickly contacted friends on the European side, and finally “borrowed” a luxury yacht at the price of information exchange, allowing friends to join the financial war that was being prepared.

Aldridge is focused on work, and there are not many things outside his work that can distract him. Melanie’s hot girl group is popular in Europe, and now rarely stays in London. Most of the time he performs in the United Kingdom. In the second half of the year, the country will try its best to hit the US market. If they can succeed, they will start a global tour next year. The two will gather together and stay away from each other.

But in the scope of work, there are really a lot of trivial matters that need to worry about.

Digging the wall every day, not only the players who dug Aldridge, but also their coaches are being seduced.

Benitez has always had an invitation from the Spanish team, but he has no intention of leaving. Jenson and other coaches from the Netherlands have also been contacted by the Dutch small ball club. They also don’t want to move for the time being, because they think they don’t have Aldridge. The capital, once returned to coach the team with poor performance and laid off, do you come back to Millwall again? After all, they are not yet thirty years old.

The 30-year-old Najib’s coaching youth team was also matched by the English Premier League. Perhaps he feels that the Najib’s 96 youth FA Cup champion generation can be seamlessly connected to the Millwall first team, which represents his coaching. Ability, although the Millwall youth team failed to reach the Youth FA Cup final this season, the youth league still won the championship ahead of time, plus the youth team in Norway and France, the Millwall youth team performed well.

The most important thing is to dig away Najib, maybe you can also send away some good seedlings from the Millwall youth team.

However, the outside world clearly does not understand the relationship between Najib and Audridge. In a sense, the two are brothers, Najib is a brother, Audridge is a brother, but the two have diametrically opposite characteristics. Derich did not have patience with the training of the primary stage. He likes to play with tactics and let some powerful players become his pawns. On the contrary, Najib, he led the team alone with less passion, too calm, but instead to train players Grow meticulously.

The two were simply a match made in heaven. Najib refused to read all the invitations. The calmer he was, the less he would run away to coach the first team, which would expose his shortcomings.

Moreover, he is not a person who likes to stand out.

During the midweek expedition to Old Trafford, Aldridge did not bring the full main force, Stam has been downgraded to the reserve team, Millwall and Manchester United also reached a transfer agreement, since Aldridge and Lions Stadium After Ferguson had a verbal conflict, Ferguson did not have any contact with Aldridge. Manchester United also made a stubborn direct offer of a transfer of 15 million pounds. Adam also wanted to bargain because Manchester United This is the figure for a single quotation. Of course, Millwall certainly has room to bargain.

But Aldridge directly asked Adam to agree to the offer.

This offer has tied the world transfer value record. Although it will be surpassed by aliens in the summer, it is still the world\'s first worth of defender players. Aldridge can\'t commit to entangle with Manchester United in the transfer fee. After all, the price is his own price. Come out, he is a person who abides by the rules of the game.

The clubs of both parties will keep this transfer confidential. When the season is officially over, Stam will go to Manchester for a medical examination and will announce his joining after passing.

Prior to this, neither Manchester United nor Millwall wanted to announce in advance to disrupt the military.

How do you say that Manchester United still have to secure the second round of the league and the second round of the Champions League semi-finals. Once Stam\'s transfer is announced, what do Manchester United\'s two central defenders think? Who will be kicked out of the main lineup next season?

But Millwall’s paper bag could not catch fire. Stam’s absolute main force did not appear on the list. Fleet Street did not feel that there was any major problem at the beginning. Rotation or injury, no matter what the reason, was absent. One or two games were normal, but after the scene of Stam\'s being decentralized to the reserve team was captured by the reporter, it quickly caused an uproar.

There are two possibilities for Fleet Street speculation. The first is discipline. Stam may be punished for violating discipline within the team. Second: transfer, either Stam is no longer in Millwall\'s future plan, or Stam wants to transfer and turned face with Audridge, the young commander punishes the Dutchman with an iron fist, and releases him to the reserve team.

This is why Aldridge was angry with Manchester United before.

Millwall\'s season is not over. Manchester United digs a foot. Whether it succeeds or not, Manchester United\'s impact is not great, but Millwall will be hurt, especially disturbing the military.

Aldridge also wants Stam to leave decently, but at this stage, he must let Stam disappear from the first team\'s vision and give the team a clear signal: Stam is no longer a member of us!

Otherwise, teammates look at Stam every day, but Aldridge does not need him. This obviously causes a lot of suspicion. This kind of suspicion spread is not a good thing.

Before the opening of the FA Cup, Aldridge appeared early on the sidelines of Old Trafford, and there were more than twenty minutes before the start of the game.

He was sitting in the stands behind the coach seat and chatting with ITV reporters.

"Is Larson injured?"

"No, he is just a little tired, I let him stay in London to rest and prepare for the weekend league."

"Oh, is it to help him hit the European Golden Boot Award?"

"That is a very important honor for a shooter. He has the opportunity to fight. Of course I will help him. His teammates also want to help him achieve this goal. But Larson is not that kind of selfish player. He is this season. It ranks first in the shooter list, and the assist list also ranks third in the league."

"Can you talk about Stam? He played the reserve team yesterday and helped the Millwall reserve team win. He has no problem. Why not use him? League, European War, today\'s FA Cup, he all Disappeared from the big list."

Aldridge looked around the Dream Theater and finally smiled lightly: "His heart is no longer in Millwall."

ITV\'s live reporter was stunned. He didn\'t expect to get such awesome news from Aldridge.

Aldridge just feels that instead of letting the outside world speculate, it is better to pierce the final window paper. Ending the public opinion storm earlier will also stabilize the team\'s military.

"You mean he wants to transfer?"

"Yes. He wants to join the big club, and he is bigger, stronger and more attractive than Millwall in his mind."

The ITV reporter\'s head turned around and finally asked: "Is it Spain or Italy?"

He felt that in England, there is no stronger team than Millwall.

Aldrich shook his head: "I can\'t say this, what I can tell you is that the transfer conditions have basically been agreed, but in order to respect this transfer, Millwall will not reveal Stam until the end of the season. Next home."

"It was for this reason that Stam was sent to the reserve team?"

"That\'s to keep him in shape. Maybe outsiders think he is very strong. I should continue to use him at this time because he has at least not left yet. However, I coach the team and value team unity more. I can\'t imagine a Players who aren’t here appear in my lineup, as if you saw a lineup of ten people plus a betrayal, which would destroy our unity."

"Betrayal? Is that what you think of Stam\'s transfer?"

Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, because he chose to transfer when the team needed him most, I don\'t mean I must keep the players in Millwall forever, but we are at the top of the season. At the moment, his transfer will have a negative impact on the team. This is a betrayal. Before the end of the season, I don’t want to see him again, although I am very grateful for his contribution to the team in the past three years, but now , I think he\'d better try to stay away from my team as much as possible. When the season ends, he will wish him good luck."

...

After all, ITV is not a live TV broadcast. Even if you get the first-hand hot news, it is impossible to release it at the first time. After all, the media network is still in a blank period at this time, and the mobile phone is only used to send text messages and make calls.

So the FA Cup semi-final match is about to start, and the attention of the fans is still in the field.

There are a lot of fans of Millwall who don’t understand, they even put a slogan in the old Trafford stands: please let Stam come back!

They just guessed that there was a conflict between Aldridge and Stam. Before they knew the truth, they wanted the team to face the next schedule with the strongest lineup.

And Stam, in the past three years, Millwall has evolved from the Premier League to become an important member of the Premier League championship. His importance to the team is deeply understood by every crazy lion fan.

But in today\'s FA Cup semi-final, Aldridge sent a semi-main and semi-replacement lineup.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Mills, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta.

Midfielders: Lampard, Makelele, Barack, Nedved.

Forwards: Shevchenko, Phillips.

Aldridge played the 4312 formation that the team does not often play.

In fact, he does not want the team to only play 433 or 4231. Powerful teams often switch back and forth in a variety of formations. In the face of different opponents, there are more changes. He always plays a fixed tactical system. This is a good thing, because if you play for a long time, your thinking will become rigid and you will lack the ability to adapt at critical moments.

Today’s opponent is Middlesbrough, Brian Robson’s team performed well last season, this season introduced a number of heavyweight players, Ravanelli, Juninho, Emerson, etc. They started The pursuit of offense, instead of defending and then attacking, directly led to a decline in their record, because last season they were promoted and their opponents despised them. Before the formation of the new lineup and new tactics, the opponents counterattacked them and also played one-on-one. The price paid for Robson\'s running-in formation and experimenting with new tactics was that the standings were stuck in the relegation quagmire.

This is also related to their private cancellation of the game with Blackburn, which was directly deducted by three points. This is also the first time in the history of the Premier League that a team has been penalized. Even if Leeds United was later deducted for financial reasons, that Also in the second league.
