The Celtics also have an unspeakable strength in Hong Kong due to the Commonwealth background, but compared to other Asian regions, they obviously have a better fan base. Therefore, the upcoming friendly match at the Hong Kong Stadium, Millwall and the Celtics, There is no lack of attractiveness in commercial selling points.

But after all, the Celtics couldn't grab Millwall's limelight, Millwall's training can make headlines, and the farce of the race between Aldridge and Ronaldinho even spread in Europe.

The colored Audridge wrapped a small piece of gauze on his arm and a band-aid on the side of his chin. His image was "impaired" when he attended the press conference.

If the outside world does not know what happened, then his appearance will definitely attract people's imagination. If it is not good, there will also be rumors of him fighting with the players, but all the reporters on the scene know where the injury came from. .

Everyone was in a happy mood and laughed at the bottom of my heart: deserve it!

Who made him rely on the race!

Also pulled Ronaldinho's shorts, but fortunately the underwear did not pull off, otherwise, the fun will be even bigger.

Today's press conference is more like a forum-style interview. The first topic the reporters focused on was Ronaldinho Ronaldo's non-stop pass during their break.

"If you have tracked and interviewed the Millwall first team training, I don’t think many people are surprised, because in London, there is a training session in our training base to improve the player’s ability to control the ball and there are machines on the training ground. To assist, players have to deal with difficult volley balls, complete technical actions such as stopping, passing and shooting. Over time, they can help them improve their skills. However, for group training like yesterday, we do not specifically list them as training links. That belongs to the player’s own self-entertainment."

Aldridge's words surprised the reporters at the scene and deeply felt how terrifying the strength of the top European teams.

The kind of high-volume volley ball pass, just play!

In fact, it can only be limited to the "play" category.

In a real game, it is very difficult for one after another of volley ball pass coordination to happen. Once you can grasp the volley ball processing, it is possible to create an excellent opportunity, which often has an intuitive impact on the game.

The reporters also asked Aldridge about his sprint race with Ronaldinho.

Aldridge didn't feel dull, and he smiled and replied: "If I win him, then he's finished. Really, the coaching staff will squeeze him every minute to improve his physical condition."

"Do you often play against him?"

"He likes to challenge me very much, compared with shooting, turning the ball, dribbling the ball and the like, I won't be fooled. In the same way, if I can win him, this is not a question of winning or losing. By the way, his problems will be very big, and the consequences of his loss will also be very serious. Well, hell, he will definitely be trained by the coaching staff for **** devil, but some of our coaching staff will be fooled, such as Klinsmann, he has a record of shooting three times with Ronaldinho, defeated in three games, since then, Klinsmann will not accept any challenge from the player, he will use the player wisely We don’t have anything to suppress them, and experience is the same."

The vast majority of Asian journalists present, especially a large number of Hong Kong sports journalists, prefer to listen to Aldridge talking about these things related to football but not related to the game.

There is no need to talk about friendly games. Aldrich talks to them about tactics, prepares for battles, talks about the goals of the match, what's the point?

"Sounds like, Ronaldinho is a very active player not only on the court at Millwall?"

Aldridge laughed dumbly and said: "Yes, he has a natural temperament. When he came to the club on the first day, he was probably so tall."

Aldrich stood up, compared his height with his hands, and then said: "I talked to him, he seemed absent-minded, and his eyes were fixed on the youth team in the training field. The only thing that seemed to attract him was football. I Let him try on the field, ten minutes, maybe fifteen minutes, he conquered everyone on the scene, passed one player, two, three, more, and then put the ball into the gate, on the field His peers saw his eyes as if they saw a monster. The biggest reaction was the youth team coach, Najib. Najib is rarely a little gaffe. He thinks Ronaldinho will become a veritable genius in the future. Become the devil that hinders the development of the team. In the next two years, Najib fully cultivated Ronaldinho, tapped his potential, and taught him how to use his talents reasonably, integrate into the team, and become a team on the court. The catalyst that allowed the team to react chemically. Ronaldinho did it, and did it better than we expected. As seen from the outside, he is like a happy elf, giving Millwall a unique football. The new element of us, we like him, the fans like him, the people who watch him play football, it is hard not to like him."

Aldrich's word for Ronaldinho is indeed from the heart, Ronaldinho has a special contribution to Millwall, that is his happy Samba, his attitude towards football, enjoy the attitude of the game, this The internal atmosphere of the Millwall club, the image of the team, and even the concretization of the football philosophy have all contributed to his positive influence.

When people tirelessly "war" and "hate" football games, Ronaldinho can use his football to dilute these elements, simply let people enjoy, appreciate, get visual, sensory pleasure, realm, is different .

At the press conference, Aldridge gave the reporters enough news material, and they all ended with joy.

In the evening, the Hong Kong Stadium was full of people, and there were obviously more fans supporting Mad Lion.

Aldridge in casual clothes officially went to shake hands with the Celtics coach after entering the field.

Old acquaintance.

Martin O'Neill.

In the original history, the news of Ferguson's retirement came out this year. O'Neill was one of the popular candidates to take over, but because of Ferguson's cancellation of this idea, O'Neill was hired by the Scottish giants Celtic and then took office.

O'Neill's resume in the Premier League is absolutely brilliant, and has been creating miracles. When he left Leicester City in the summer, he still added a new League Cup championship trophy to the club that season.

O'Neill met with Audridge again in a foreign country. The mood was very good, but the opening remarks apologized to Audridge.

"Aldrich, you should be able to understand that I cannot obstruct the resolution of the Leicester City board of directors."

"Hi, that little thing, don't worry, it's nothing."

Aldrich didn't care.

What O'Neill said was that Goodjohnson was sold to Chelsea by Leicester City, turned around, and the players who went out from Millwall wore the shirts of their rivals.

Aldridge really doesn’t care. Chelsea and Millwall are not in the same level. Good Johnson is also a passer-by who will soon be forgotten by fans. As long as he is not directly transferred from Millwall to Chelsea, next time When I met, I'm afraid the fans would not have any dissatisfaction with GoodJohnson, just like meeting a passerby.

This emotion is similar to Arsenal's contempt for Tottenham.

Martin O'Neill also fell out with the top management because the board directly intervened to sell Goodjohnson, thinking that there is no future in Leicester City, so he accepted the Celtics' invitation and took Tony by the way. To meet new challenges.

Fans unfamiliar with the Super League may feel that the Celtics will not face any challenges in the Scottish league, but this is not the case.

Just last season, the Super League champion was the Glasgow Rangers and the Celtics was the runner-up, but this runner-up has no face.

The 10 teams played 36 games in four rounds. The Rangers scored 90 points to win the championship. What about the Celtics? Runner-up, 69 points, a difference of 21 points!

In this context, Martin O'Neill's arrival in Glasgow must be to make the Celtics raise their heads again in this city. This is his new challenge.

Aldridge and O'Neill have been chatting on the sidelines for a long time, and there are many jokes. For example, O'Neal is gone, Leicester City's strength has dropped, and there are fewer league opponents that cause trouble to Millwall in the new season.

Leicester City is a small team, but the Premier League's small team may often be the nemesis of a strong team. Even though O'Neill is not a nemesis of Aldridge, in the past few years, Leicester City Hard bones, Millwall's mad lion struggled to bite, and sometimes his teeth fell apart.

In the cheers of live fans, the friendly match between Millwall and the Celtics kicked off.

The Scottish team pays attention to teamwork. They are the originators of short-pass cooperation. This style has continued. Millwall sent most of the bench lineup in the first half and faced the Celtics most of the main lineup. The kick was obviously not the upper hand.

O'Neill is a coach who emphasizes defense. Because of this, this game did not play like Millwall played Ajax in the first half. Most of the time, the Celtics controlled the rhythm and attacked. The ground is very patient.

Aldridge's preparation for the friendly match in Asia was targeted. In this game with the Celtics, he really wanted to use half time to see Alonso, Joe Cole, Villa, Metzel Germany, Ferreira and other players will face their patience and pay attention to an opponent with organized short pass cooperation, their defense, their will, how will their performance.

Will it be because of the inability to master the game and become uneasy, unbalanced mentality, loss of tactical discipline, and ultimately lead to mistakes affecting the game.

The score in the first half was 0:0. Millwall did not have an advantage on the field, but he did not lose the goal.

In the second half, Millwall replaced Ronaldinho, Lampard, Larson, Nedved and other players. Players like Henry and Pirlo who participated in the European Cup and reached the second half still sit today. Watching the game below, waiting for them is the last match of the friendly match, a contest with Monaco.

After Millwall had some of the main players and standing substitutes, the situation on the court immediately changed, and it was their turn to master the game rhythm and take advantage.

Because it is a friendly game, the players will not rush too hard, Millwall is also patiently on the court to pass and cut the cooperation, the effect is certainly not as good as in the official game, there are a lot of mistakes, the success rate of passing and receiving has also dropped significantly, but it can still occupy Advantage.

Ronaldinho's improvised play with a cross-foot pass assisted Klose's header and broke the goal, setting off a passionate frenzy in the stands.

Before the end of the game, Larsson shot was blocked from close range, Nedvide followed the long shot from outside to lock the score at 2:0, Millwall won the warm-up match.

Aldridge never insisted on the victory or defeat of the friendly game. After the game, he saw O'Neill's expression a little helpless. He walked over and chatted with him a few times, saying separately: "I hope we will fight again in the Premier League."

O'Neill pushed his glasses and frowned: "Why can't we meet in the Champions League?"

Aldridge smiled dumbly and nodded with a thumbs up.

The bottom of my heart said: Martin, how many strong teams in Europe do not want to meet Millwall in the Champions League?
