The Young Lion

The English Premier League curtain fell, defending champion Millwall’s four consecutive domestic rule was ended, and the three consecutive Champions League championships also declared a collapse at the end of last year. The second-generation mad lion ended brilliantly in the summer of 2002, and the third-generation The first season of Crazy Lions was not on track as expected, but it could not be concluded as overshadowed. After all, Crazy Lions maintained considerable competitiveness. The Champions League this season is not over yet. Looking forward, I believe that no one will exclude Millwall from the championship.

At the end of the season, Aldridge returned to the league with a five-game winning streak and almost staged the miracle of turning the Red Devils and Gunners at the last moment. It is awe-inspiring. There is a lot of discussion in the outside world, and it will inevitably turn over the old account. One game, or a draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford, then Millwall can achieve five consecutive league titles!

It is a pity that there is no if in reality. If there is, Arsenal will definitely need more than Millwall.

Should Manchester United be defeated at Highbury?

If there is no subsequent draw and loss, if you can win one more game, if...

The season belonging to Manchester United is over.

The Premier League champion returned to Manchester. The sky of the Premier League was washed from a dark blue to red. Manchester United held a grand championship celebration. A Manchester United superstar also chose to bid farewell when Manchester United returned to glory.

Although not yet available, many people in the circle have learned the attitude of the Manchester United club, quite Ferguson, let Beckham leave.

Beckham was received by the Queen of England, awarded the OBE official medal, and then prepared to report to the England national team.

Arsenal's season is not over yet. They are in a tight state of preparation. With three domestic trophies, Liverpool and Manchester United each take one, and there is an FA Cup that will be competed by Arsenal and Southampton.

Millwall, formerly known as the trophy harvester, was empty-handed on the domestic front. This is the first time since the 95-96 season.

Although they have actually won three championship trophies this season, they are too tasteless to mention.

However, Fleet Street did not dare to hype about this. After all, Millwall still has a championship trophy to compete for. The weight is not too heavy, but it cannot be ignored.

UEFA Cup!

Late May.

Aldridge led his team to Seville, Spain.

Millwall came very early. In the past, in the European finals, it was normal to arrive two or three days in advance, but this time, they advanced four days.

Why?

Spain has good scenery, good weather, and everything except economy!

Rather than preparing for a battle in that ghostly place in London, it would be better to prepare for a battle in such a scenic place. The mentality will be different. In the finals, Aldridge has always advocated that relaxation is the best.

When the UEFA Cup kicked off at the Seville Olympic Stadium this season, two young men met on the sidelines as coaches.

Although the UEFA Cup can't be compared with the Champions League, but because of these two coaches, this year's finals seem to be a lot more colorful.

Because they are too young.

One is Audrey Hall, who is 27 years old on his birthday tomorrow.

The other was Jose Mourinho, who was just 40 years old.

Is 40 young?

Of course, in football, this is the age of the young coaches, and how many coaches can stand on the field of the European finals at the age of 40?

Aldrich and Mourinho have long known each other, and Mourinho can be regarded as a witness to the glory of Aldrich.

Wasn’t he witnessing Barcelona’s defeat by Aldridge with Robson and Van Gaal?

Not to mention that he visited Aldridge in person when he established his portal, but the meeting ended with displeasure.

In fact, if Aldridge did not return to the Millwall coaching position, he probably wouldn’t remember the Magic Bird most of the time. Only when he defeated the Celtics to enter the finals, he realized that the opponents in the finals were from Portugal. In Porto, Mourinho is the coach.

When he first coached, Aldridge really secretly dreamed, when will he meet Mourinho as an opponent on the field?

In the countless pictures he envisioned, the background was the 03-04 Champions League.

However, there is always a gap between reality and fantasy. I didn't expect it to be ahead of schedule. It was actually on the stage of the UEFA Cup.

Coming to the sidelines, Aldridge saw Mourinho resting on the baffle above the coach seat with one hand, and his hips were very cold.

Seeing his posture at this moment, Aldridge always has a feeling of wanting to laugh, because the other party is obviously 40 years old, but there is a look in the show, and the attitude is cool.

And this kind of state, Aldrich has also had before. At the beginning of coaching, he always cared about his posture and image, hoping to leave a deep impression on the outside world and strengthen his sense of existence. It is a kind of hype for show. .

Aldridge walked over gently, the closer he was to Mourinho, the more he wanted to laugh.

Mourinho saw him tomorrow morning, and the two even had a line of sight, but Mourinho deliberately shifted his eyes, as if Audridge did not exist, or, as a passerby.

This is of course not an escape.

It is a gesture of contempt!

Quite a few real people in the eyes!

Until Aldridge came to him, Mourinho's posture did not change, but fixed his sight on Aldrich's gentle face.

After Aldrich took the initiative to extend his hand and greeted: "Long time no see."

Mourinho changed his posture, raised his head, raised his hand in a serious expression, and said seriously: "Hello, this is Jose Mourinho."

Aldridge couldn't help it when he shook hands with him, his head smiled silently.

The other party seemed to see Aldridge for the first time and introduced himself solemnly.

Aldridge was confused.

In the end, the other party really despised himself, still hope that he will remember him!

Perhaps the last time I came to Audric's house as Benfica coach, Audric questioned whether the coaching position was stable, which caused Mourinho to leave in anger, but finally proved that Audridge was right, he did not own Benfica. stay How long.

This made him more concerned about the existence of Aldridge.

A person who can say "God is the boss and I am the second" certainly has the ambition to devour the sky, and the requirements and goals will be very high. The requirements are for themselves and the goals are focused on the world.

The competitive sport of football is naturally stronger than that.

Of course Mourinho is conscious of defeating Aldridge. Perhaps he is in Portugal. His stage is not enough to challenge Aldridge directly, but since he met in the UEFA Cup final today, it is also a chance. .

Mourinho apparently didn't want to talk to Aldridge. He was a bit strange. Anyway, Aldrich seemed very strange.

If you go through Mourinho's resume from beginning to end, you will find that this is really a wonderful inspirational story!

His player career was unsuccessful, unknown, and ended early, and in order to be a coach, interpreter, assistant, and learn from many people, he even reached the point of sleeplessness, especially in Spain, he always makes himself crazy The idea was taken out and discussed with the people in the football circle, but was despised, ridiculed, even isolated and marginalized by those in the circle of Spain. Then he returned to Portugal to start his coaching career. Success is achieved at a very fast speed!

It's so inspirational to take this **** movie!

However, Mourinho tried to deny some of his past. Others said he was an interpreter. He was not happy, as if he was ashamed of those days and did not want to mention it, as if others were exposing his scars, as if, he I hope that I am a well-known person, a born strong man, a natural winner, and a unique winner under the glory of God.

As for the grievance between him and Barcelona, ​​it has something to do with his history of reluctance to admit it.

Anyway, Aldridge thinks this is a very strange phenomenon, just like Italy once laughed at Millwall, and many media mocked his "handedness" when he first coached, and even many former fame in England also relied on the old and the old to teach him how to renew As a person, Aldrich will not be hostile afterwards, especially, especially after a great success, he will not be attentive, why?

My success is in itself beating the face of all the negative voice makers. In terms of attitude, be humble and not be able to win the respect of others? It can also highlight how noble his character is.

Maybe people and people have different worldview values. Anyway, Aldridge and Mourinho are definitely not the same kind of person. There are many enemies in the other side, and Aldridge is a lot of opponents. There is no endless grudge in mind.

Now, Mourinho will not shake Audric, shake hands, simply say a few words, and end.

Aldridge was more enthusiastic and shook hands with many people in the Porto coaching staff. When he was planning to go back, Aldridge found that Mourinho’s complexion was not very interesting, and he did not give the other party a little. Surprise, how can it be passed?

So, while walking back, Aldridge passed by Mourinho and whispered in his ear.

Mourinho frowned and puzzled at first, but before waiting for Audric to take three steps, his face changed drastically, his blood was upset, and he was furious: "Grass, that stinky boy, it was you! Or are you playing me? !"

Aldridge turned around and saw that Mourinho, who finally no longer had a cool look and change, seemed to be chasing out, Aldridge smiled and blinked at his right eye, saying: "It was very good physical strength. , Chasing me half a street, but unfortunately, I grabbed my ears and stunned."

With that, Aldridge grinned and slowly backed away.

Mourinho took a step forward, seeming to settle a bad account, but he still held back.

There was an assistant beside him asking what happened to him.

Mourinho calmed down and shook his head, saying nothing.

Then he smiled angrily.

A sentence that Aldridge said in his ear just now has been forgotten, but he can be recalled again with the same tone and similar accent.

Back in time to ten years ago, Mourinho was still in Portugal, Robson just came to Portugal to coach, Mourinho became Robson's translator, very simple translation, Robson needs Mourinho to attend the press conference Ao translation aside.

At that time, a young reporter openly asked: "Mr. Mourinho, when are you going to become the head coach?"

Such words, spoken on that occasion, not only off topic, but also in Mourinho's ears, there are also suspects of being framed.

His boss is sitting next to him. Is he the head coach?

Do you want to rebel?

In addition, Robson cannot understand, in case someone reports, will this affect his relationship with Robson?

Mourinho, who was also young at the time, was furious. Not only did he expel the young reporter, but he subsequently caught up with the man outside the club and wanted to ask what the other party wanted to do!

Unexpectedly, the two almost staged a street fight. In the end, Mourinho let the boy run away and turned to the hospital to check the eardrum...

It turned out that the kid was Aldridge!

It was years after Mourinho learned the truth. He didn’t like this feeling. He could guess that maybe the other party was just kidding, but he was kept in the dark.

This is not the first time he met Aldridge. In the past few meetings, Aldridge did not mention this matter again. If Aldridge did not say it, maybe, Mourinho did not know the truth in his life.

But now that I know, it seems that the mood is even worse.

It seems that I have been played by the other party as a monkey for many years...

Mourinho, who was extremely angry, grinned gradually.
