The Young Lion

Aldrich is in the limelight, and the professor's demeanor is still the same. The two old friends suddenly meet again, and they are full of emotions.

How are you doing in Japan?

Very happy.

Come back this time for a vacation? No, the Japanese J-League should be in the middle of the league right now.

Well, I was invited by Mr. Dane, and I just came here to watch a game.

Wenger said without any concealment that in fact, David Dane had already thought about Wenger. After Graham was fired more than half a year ago, Dane had invited Wenger, but he had just gone to Japan at that time. Wenger, who was still immersed in the five years of exhaustion in Monaco, politely rejected him.

Dane firmly believed that Wenger was the right candidate for Arsenal's revival, so he waited in Wenger's hometown of France and used various coincidences to connect with Wenger. This sincerity moved Wenger, and Wenger missed Europe. It is also increasing day by day. This summer, Dane invited Wenger to watch football in England. He arranged for Arsenal to play against Nottingham Forest at home next week, but after reading the schedule, Wenger decided to come to watch Millwall away. Battle against Arsenal.

Aldridge smiled and said, I hope you enjoy the game here. I'll go first. After the game, we can simply get together?

Wenger shook his head and said, No, I'll catch the plane as soon as the game is over, and I have to go back to train the team.

Okay, I look forward to your coming to London in the future.

After Aldrich finished speaking, he greeted David Dane, and then left the box.

Mr. Wenger, hello, long time no see!

Arthur and Amelia also came to greet each other with Wenger, and David Dane was a little strange seeing this scene: Did Millwall also think about letting Wenger coach?

As soon as this idea came up, he shook his head to dispel it, it is absolutely impossible!

Oh, my old friend, Dane the Bastard, come here and give me a hug!

Arthur, with a round belly, turned around and hugged David Dane vigorously, and tightened Dane's upper body tightly, almost making Dane breathless. In another occasion, Dane would definitely push Arthur away. But with Wenger, a distinguished guest, beside him, Dane had to grit his teeth and endure, and he had to smile and pretend to be on good terms with Arthur.

He hated Millwall with all his heart.

This damn small club is simply a moth in the Premier League!

Cracked stadium, hooligan fans, notoriety, and, bastard chairman!

Dane had no interest in coming here to watch the game at all, even if Arsenal were here as a guest, but Wenger said he would come here to watch the game, so he had to ask the Millwall Club for a VIP ticket in a hurry, anyway, he couldn't bring Wenger with him. Ge and the fans stand in the stands, it's simply not good hospitality.

Who knew that Millwall's tickets had already been sold out, leaving only boxes, and Arthur refused to give the empty box to Dane, and asked Dane to come to the same box with him to watch the game, even though there is no chairman of the Premier League to sit side by side Look at the tradition of the game, but this arrangement can be regarded as Millwall's kindness as a landlord. Dane has no choice but to accept it. He knows what this old bastard Arthur is planning. Isn't he just trying to show off at home?

We are cultural people, with quality and self-cultivation, not like hooligans!

Tolerate!

Besides, it is not certain who wins and who loses!

After David Dane exchanged pleasantries with Arthur, he put away his contempt,

He solemnly shook hands with Barnett, Hall's eldest son, and chatted a few more words.

Although he despised Arthur in his heart, Dane still admired his three sons very much. Barnett was an upstart in the British business world, Andrew's brokerage company was booming, and Aldrich, needless to say, became a blockbuster.

If it weren't for Aldridge's age and background, if he was a part-time worker, David Dane might still have to choose between Wenger and Aldridge.

Barnett was just following social etiquette. He didn't pay much attention to David Dane. He had dealt with countless elites and even predators in the British business world. He was able to chat and laugh happily with the representatives of the Barclays consortium. It is difficult for the vice chairman of this club to look at him differently. Besides, he always thinks that Aldrich's choice to be a football coach is an understatement!

Just two days ago, Microsoft released the WINDOWS95 operating system, and the stock skyrocketed, and this new product is already brewing to enter different markets around the world. It can be seen that Microsoft will make a qualitative leap in the next period of time.

As early as that Black Monday eight years ago, Barnett's first choice for revolving investment has always been Microsoft's stock. This comes from Aldridge's judgment. The stock price soared and grew rapidly.

He thinks that Aldridge is the kind of genius who can make money while sleeping, but this younger brother only wants to be a football coach who puts his heart to the test. Barnett feels sorry, but he never persuaded Aldridge, The brothers in the family have their own ambitions and never interfere with each other. There is only one position: support.

Wenger walked to the front of the box and looked down at the entire Lion's Den stadium.

Almost a year ago, he came here to watch the game. At that time, he was sitting in the stands, and he didn't think there was anything special about this stadium, but looking around today, it is a spectacular sight.

Except for the away fans who have an inconspicuous red in a corner of the north stand, the stands of the whole stadium have turned into a blue ocean, and the south stand is the most eye-catching.

It was a pre-match cheer organized by Lion Roar fans. They spent more than half a month drawing a picture scroll covering the entire South Stand.

The content on the scroll is actually very simple, it just copied Millwall's official first-team promotional poster for the new season.

It was almost the same as last season's promotional poster. Aldrich in a suit and leather shoes stood in the center, posing with a slightly wild and confident smile, with his head held high and his hands in his pockets.

And behind Aldridge, the 30 members of the first team were lined up in a V shape wearing home dark blue jerseys, looking menacing!

Lion Roar fans made the promotional poster into a large picture scroll, which was lifted up by everyone in the South Stand, shaking the whole stadium!

The live footage even played this scene repeatedly before the match.

When the players from both sides began to enter the field, Aldridge had already returned to the coach's bench. He stood still on the sidelines, calmly waiting for the game to start.

In front of the coaching bench of the visiting team not far away from him, Arsenal's new season coach Bruce Rioch was also standing there. His face was dignified, obviously attaching great importance to this battle.

Taking over as caretaker coach Halston in the summer, Rioch is under tremendous pressure. He wants to change Arsenal, but he lacks some courage, especially when a new coach takes office. Arsenal's situation is a bit special. Halston's acting as an agent for four months is not worth mentioning, while Graham is out of class for non-competitive reasons. Graham's brand of eight years in office, it is not a day's work to eliminate it.

Especially the players in the team can be regarded as successful and famous. In fact, Rioch can only adjust the state of the team and dare not make drastic reforms. Otherwise, he will inevitably be expelled by the locker room bosses.

Therefore, Arsenal's tactical play this season is still the 532.

Friends from the audience, welcome to Millwall's home stadium, the Lion's Den, with our live broadcast. My name is Martin Taylor. The one who is explaining the game with me today is still the familiar Andy Gray.

Martin, what do you think of today's London derby?

It's going to be a game of spear and shield, hehe, Millwall's offense has impressed everyone in the last round, and Arsenal have been known for their defense for the past eight years. Suffocating season conceded record, 18 goals. But Arsenal's recent situation is not good, from the past stable state to become turbulent, less than a year, there is a third head coach in the coaching position, Graham, Hurston, Now it’s Rioch, I think Rioch will play more conservatively at the Lion’s Den, after all, they didn’t win the newly promoted Middlesbrough in the last game at home, so there is a lot of pressure on his shoulders.”

But if Arsenal only take away a draw at the Lion's Den, I don't think Arsenal fans, as well as the management, will be satisfied. I don't despise Millwall, but in the traditional impression, everyone There is a deep-rooted view of Millwall's combat effectiveness. This year marks the 110th anniversary of Millwall's establishment, but Millwall has not won any championship of any important event. Of course, if the Southern League champion a hundred years ago is considered a champion , then Millwall hasn’t tasted the championship for almost a hundred years. On the other hand, Arsenal, they were the last king team to rule England.”

You are right. It is because of this complex emotion of repression, brewing, continuation, longing, and persistence for 110 years that the fans of Millwall now seem unusually fanatical, but they are so reassuring. I understand. Will Aldridge be the key player for Millwall to end the championship-free era? I think if they can keep the current team members, the championship is not out of reach for them.

Yes, the outside world is now paying attention to Millwall, and the entire English football world is speculating that Millwall, whose average age in the starting lineup is only 23 years old, is far from reaching their peak, maybe within three to five years, This team can challenge the ruling order of England, but only if Millwall can keep this group of players and not be poached by other teams.

The stay of Larson and Trezeguet is a good signal, at least it shows that this club will not be shaken by money interests. The transfer price of the two players is 12 million pounds. If you want to change it to many teams in the Premier League, they have already opened their accounts and counted the money after completing the transaction.

Okay, let's take a look at the starters of both sides in today's game. Millwall is the same as the previous game. Goalkeeper: Keller, defenders: Thuram, Stam, Southgate, Neil, midfielder : Schneider, Makelele, Nedved, Pires, forwards: Larsson, Trezeguet. Arsenal's starting lineup today is, goalkeeper: Seaman, defenders: Winterburn, Adams, Bould, Keown, Dixon, midfield: Mason, Jensen, Pratt, forward: Wright with Bergkamp. Millwall's 442 vs Arsenal's 532.

Looking at Bergkamp who was about to kick off on the court, Aldridge didn't change his face, and thought in his heart: Ice Prince? Freeze in place today!
