In November, Millwall's state has not fallen significantly, but from their performance on the court, it is not as crazy as it was at the beginning of the season.

Especially in mid-November, when Aldridge led his team as Anfield to play in the League Cup, they suffered the first defeat of the new season and the League Cup was out!

Aldridge sent a bunch of young players to play, Moutinho, Veroso, Messi, Baines, Ramos and others, and also let the third goalkeeper Kirkland play to see his performance.

Before the game, Aldridge said cheeky to the media that this game was used to train young players.

In fact, he sent a signal to Benitez and wanted to get some tacit understanding with this old friend. Everyone should be trained, don't over-consume!

But Benitez said in front of the media that Aldridge must be releasing smoke bombs!

Liverpool will have 200% of their combat power to face Millwall, otherwise they may be eliminated at home!

Irving didn't transfer to Real Madrid, he still stayed at Anfield. At the same time, the Liverpool transformation this season is still relatively obvious.

Gerrard pushed into the shadow forward position, Carragher returned to the position of central defender, and at the same time, Benitez moved to the market to bring Carrick. Benitez served as a teaching assistant at Millwall and was still waiting. Carrick in the Millwall youth team had an encounter, and this time they worked together to create a future at Anfield.

Therefore, Liverpool's early performance in the league this season was quite satisfactory. After a period of time, it began to stabilize its strong momentum. Although the title is hopeless, but it is still possible to compete in the Champions League.

When Liverpool's all-starter debuted at Anfield, Aldridge couldn't hold his face.

Damn it!

Benitez must know that Aldridge is not a smoke bomb.

But Aldridge was relieved afterwards. Benitez could not let the Reds get eliminated at Anfield anyway?

That would hurt morale.

Moreover, whether or not Milwall is a group of baby soldiers, doing crazy lions, spiritual encouragement and inspiration is also what Liverpool needs.

Millwall led by 60 minutes in this game. With Glennshire's goal, he led to the 68th minute of the second half, and then was scored by Gerrard.

Aldridge didn't want to counsel on the road, he just dared to fight with his opponent.

Unfortunately, luck will not stand on his side every time. The result of this fight is a tragic outing, which was reversed by Liverpool 3-1 and blocked outside the quarterfinals of the League Cup.

This season, the training stage of the League Cup is gone. It doesn’t matter. Millwall also made room for training on other fronts: the Champions League!

At the beginning of November, they returned to Super Laco, with Alonso and Ronaldinho's goals on the road to defeat their opponents 2-1. After winning four consecutive victories in the UEFA Champions League group stage, they locked the top 16 places in advance, leaving two UEFA Champions League , Can be appropriate training, and the stimulation and training value of players are higher than the League Cup!

After the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage, in January next year, the FA Cup will be played again. Millwall stabilized the main front record. During the same period of rotation, the general policy of training has been smooth and coherent. This is Audric’s satisfaction. local.

Millwall scored 3 wins and 1 draw in four Premier League games in November.

2-0 home victory over Birmingham.

5:0 home victory over Crystal Palace.

Away 2:2 was tied by Liverpool.

At home 3:1 Lectra Arsenal.

The record is of course good, but the loss of goals in Liverpool and Arsenal has made Millwall’s goalkeeper the focus of the outside world. Butt saved the game when Liverpool was close to the end of the game and was scored by Owen. , And the goal scored by Arsenal at home also originated from his save. This season, because Kaka hit the midfield, he cannot provide the defensive pressure of the midfield and frontcourt as crazy as in the past, so Millwall The chance of being counterattacked by an opponent is relatively improved, which means that the possibility of the goal being threatened is also increased, so the fault of Bout's save is easily amplified.

Aldrich also wanted to improve this problem in the past, but how to improve it?

Chelsea wanted to dig out Neuer in the summer, but it was unsuccessful, because Schalke 04 did not let go, thinking that Neuer had great potential. At the same time, Neuer was not interested in transferring to Chelsea, and it was impossible to climb to the sky and go to Stamford Bridge. What are you doing?

Aldrich didn't even think about buying Neuer in the past. As far as the maturity of technical capabilities is concerned, Neuer has the future, not the present.

It is impossible for him to replace Bout now, otherwise, the third goalkeeper of the German national team will not be Bout.

With only one or two games of mistakes, he used a knife against a meritorious veteran who played for the team for more than ten years. This is not Aldridge's style of action, but he still has a precautionary mind.

In the unlikely event that he had to start, he should have a suitable candidate.

Throughout this time, Europe is able to take the position of the main goalkeeper of the giants, and withstand the test of top-level events, play a stable goalkeeper, one of the few.

Because the goalkeeper's position is too special, the giants dare not use this position to train troops, the risk is too high and too high.

Even some young genius goalkeepers must have come to the fore with outstanding performance, rather than staying in this position early and falling down a few times to slowly climb up and thrive.

Casillas of Real Madrid.

Chelsea of ​​Chelsea.

Buffon of Juventus.

Some old, Dida, Kahn, young Reina, Valdes, and Arsenal's Lehman are still outstanding at this stage.

In the end, Aldridge wrote two names on the shortlist: Buffon, Van der Sar.

If he will make up his mind to take Bout next summer, he will grab Manchester United for Van der Sar.

But if not, in the future he will smash Buffon back.

Although Millwall is in a "cold war" with Juventus at the club level, at this moment, especially when thinking of the summer of 2006, Audridge does not think that Millwall cannot dig up Juventus!

In the UEFA Champions League group stage at the end of November and the beginning of December, Millwall scored two consecutive draws, tying Monaco away. Yes, Millwall scored the opponent in the 77th minute of the second half when Larsen scored. In the group match finale, it was Bielopiacos tied, Messi scored his first goal in the Champions League in this game.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, the Millwall Club took the initiative to renew the contract with Messi and increase his salary.

The signing fee is a high-end house in London, which makes the Messi family ecstatic, they moved into a new house with better environment.

At the beginning of December, Millwall played two league games in four days and won one win and one draw.

In two consecutive away games, he scored 3 points on Aston Villa, but was again tied by Everton in Liverpool City, at Goodison Park Stadium. In the first half of the league, Fleet Street teased Liverpool as Millwall The city I don’t like the most, but there are also old stories about the unscrupulous tabloids, saying that Aldridge was overly fond of Liverpool and showed mercy.

Coincidentally, in the past six league games, Chelsea and Millwall have the same record, and the gap between the two teams is still 8 points.

Especially in early December, Chelsea failed to take all three points at Highbury. Before the game, Millwall had left London and the team flew to Japan. As long as Chelsea scored 3 points, it can shorten the match with Millwall The gap has changed from 8 to 6 points, but Chelsea still failed to beat Arsenal at Highbury after all.

Before the arrival of the Christmas Express, the Millwall team flew to Japan. This is when they came here again after two years to participate in the Toyota Cup, which caused a fever of football in Japan.

This year's Toyota Cup has historical significance.

Because this is the last Toyota Cup, starting next year, the Intercontinental Club Championship will participate in the FIFA World Club Cup.

At the Yokohama International Sports Arena, Millwall’s mentality was very relaxed. The fans in the stands were very enthusiastic, not only chasing Ronaldinho, like the young players in the Millwall formation, Kaka, Ronaldo, Villa, Aron. Suo and other players have faintly become idols in the hearts of a new generation of fans.

This year's Toyota Cup, Millwall did not face much challenge, the opponent is the Caldas Club in Colombia.

Millwall's overall strength suppresses his opponents, and his technical and tactical concepts are also complete. They consume their opponents through their skillful ball control advantages. When the opponents rush to attack, they launch a fatal blow.

Ronaldinho plays tricks on the court, and Ronaldo will also play with flowers. When Kaka rushes, he is unstoppable. Villa is like a blue-collar warrior, making selfless contributions or looking for opportunities on the field.

At the end of the game, Millwall rushed into the field, and two years later, they won the Toyota Cup again!

"4:0, the Champions League champion Millwall destroyed the South American Liberation Cup champion Caldas with a dominant level. The performance of the Millwall star group is unforgettable, although they certainly did not go all out because they were very Coming back to the Premier League soon for the cruel Christmas Express schedule! Congratulations Millwall, they won the last Toyota Cup! It is also the team with the most Toyota Cup wins in history, winning 5 times! 1998, 2000 In 2001, 2002, and now 2004, as the Toyota Cup became history, Millwall, the king of the Toyota Cup, made it more perfect for this event. From next year, we will appreciate the FIFA World Champions Club League, I hope that the new international club competition will be more exciting than the Toyota Cup!"

During the Toyota Cup awards, Aldridge accidentally learned that the organizer had set up a special award for him. Probably it was the organizer on the Japanese side. In order to make the event more brilliant, the Toyota Cup was going to the grave anyway, except for the competition In addition to the best player award, Adrich also specially awarded a Toyota Cup best coach achievement award!
