The Young Lion

Aldridge has developed a gradual habit of building or transforming the team.

He will not make major changes to the team suddenly, especially for the old players. He hopes to have a transition in his thinking first, and don't let everything happen too thoughtfully, so as to avoid players being unacceptable.

Take the training of players as an example. The reserve team practiced skills before, and the reserve team began to practice tactics. Before the age of 21, they focused on ball skills training. From 21 to 24, they focused on strengthening their physical fitness, and accumulated experience at the same time. I have a self-contained school, from top to bottom, I am familiar with it, there is no point of confusion in any job, and only for special talented players, will I formulate tailor-made growth training plans, such as Ronaldo and Messi, the former is Stronger physical fitness, the latter is the impact of congenital diseases.

Larson has already set an example in the transformation of old players, Nedved is also walking on this track, Southgate is an accident that directly disrupted the plan, as for Henry, although it is not yet time to step down , but in the end, Aldridge needs to vaccinate Henry in advance, so that he can be mentally prepared.

This is a transition, and I hope to achieve a perfect transition in a subtle way.

Millwall is a team with more offensive points, but it is not a team where everyone has the right to fire. On the front line, the right to fire first on the offensive end must belong to Henry.

However, under the current lineup, it is conceivable that the right to fire first will belong to Ronaldo in the future, and in the future, if all goes well, Messi will also enter the ranks of competition.

To put it bluntly, Ronaldo is the next crown prince at the core of the striker. Henry. Give way to Ronaldo.

But time. Aldridge is expected to be after one season, that is to say, it will take more than a year for Ronaldo to become the core of the striker.

During this time period, although Henry still occupies the core position, he must consciously support Ronaldo, not to mention assisting Ronaldo, because Henry is still the core, so Aldridge mentioned a word: sacrifice.

In good shape. There are more opportunities, and when the game environment allows, Henry makes some sacrifices to give Ronaldo more opportunities to perform, so that Ronaldo can find the feeling of a scoring machine, or catalyze Ronaldo's growth.

This is not to deny Henry's future at the club, but to play a role on the court. Now he is the master, Ronaldo is the assistant, the future. The roles of the two need to be reversed.

When the team celebrated winning and defending the championship, Henry did not expect Aldridge to talk to him about such a topic.

In front of Aldrich. Henry is always calm, even if he smiles, he looks shy and restrained, because he respects Aldrich from the bottom of his heart.

Although Aldridge and him are of the same age, the outside world said that Aldridge was his mentor, and he never felt that there was any problem.

It was Aldridge who transformed him from a winger into a world-class center forward who made Europe tremble. Under the leadership of Aldridge, his club career was extremely brilliant. So far, he has won four Champions Leagues. Counting this year's league, the Premier League alone There are six champions.

Not counting the top scorer of the Premier League for the past four times, the European Golden Boot, the Golden Globe and other honors.

If someone else came to talk to him about such a topic, he would definitely be angry, because it seemed to say: You can't do it anymore, you need someone else to replace you!

However, Henry did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with Aldridge, he would think from the standpoint of Aldridge.

Millwall, a world-class club.

Arguably the strongest team in the world!

Including the competitiveness of the national team.

In such a team, many talents have been sucked dry and cannot make a difference here.

What's more, what about the players in the main position?

Ordinary clubs, even wealthy teams that are lower than Millwall, their players may be able to play the main force for ten years, because the players have always looked very strong, but in fact?

Manchester United's Keane is old, but Keane still plays the main force, and the negative impact is that it drags down the overall strength.

In order to maintain competitiveness and make the team stronger, Millwall does not have to introduce new players, only strength is the most important criterion!

What Henry can understand is that in the eyes of Aldridge, it is clear at a glance how to choose between Ronaldo two years later and himself two years later.

Because Henry is getting older day by day, starting from the peak period and entering the later stage of his career, while Ronaldo is definitely moving towards the peak period!

Henry is confident that he will not suddenly plummet, but it is unavoidable that he will show off on the court and easily become the opponent's first marking and killing target. Therefore, the contribution he can perform and make may change over time. Getting smaller and smaller, especially if he is still the core of the striker.

So he has to give way, and he has to start mentally prepared. In the future, when the new king takes over, he can still play the main force. If there are other players on the team who are stronger than him, then he will naturally retreat to the second line.

This is not that Aldridge is unreasonable, but that football itself is very competitive.

Facing the mentor who gave him almost everything, Henry gave Aldrich a very simple answer after a period of contemplation: Boss, I will obey you in everything.

Aldrich patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: I think you have a big heart, so I'm telling you this in advance. In fact, the future is still far away. Let's focus on the present first. Are you ready? King of Killers , There is still a Champions League champion waiting for us this season! One week later, the Serie A giants known as the concrete defense will come to London, ha ha.

Henry shrugged and said, In these years, there is no city gate that we cannot break through.

Aldrich laughed when he heard the words.

 …

The Premier League championship has ended, and the final battle between Millwall and Chelsea became the focus of England and even the whole of Europe the next day.

Among them are Millwall fans who hired planes to fly over Stamford Bridge, and fans who rushed to humiliate Chelsea players grabbed the headlines.

But the most shocking thing was Millwall's two-goal defeat of Chelsea.

In an exceptionally good season for Chelsea, they are still unable to win the league title.

Afterwards, Fleet Street naturally blamed it on Chelsea's two home and away games against Millwall and lost 6 points.

If Chelsea can tie Millwall in those two games, there is only a 2-point gap between the two teams in the current standings. If they can win one and draw the other, the points will be the same. They will be four points clear of Millwall.

The brutality of the competition in the Premier League has chilled the outside world, and made the media lament that Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool have been completely derailed. They are too far away from the top of the list, and even Chelsea, who are destined to be runner-up, seem out of reach.

With the league title already in the bag, Millwall began to shift all focus to the Champions League.

In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall played against Newcastle United at home. Aldridge sent a full substitute lineup to allow the main players to recharge their batteries.

At the same time, in this round of Serie A, Juventus and Milan are fighting against San Siro. This is the battle of Tianwangshan in the final stage of Serie A this season!

Lion King Stadium.

The atmosphere of the fans of the home team was high, and it seemed that their attention was not on the field from the beginning. They sang and sang, praising the greatness of the team and the heroes of the team. Of course, King Aldridge here is indispensable.

Newcastle United experienced a coaching change earlier this season. The former coach Bobby Robson retired honorably. He led the Magpies to their second record peak in the Premier League after Kevin Keegan. Unfortunately, it is not what it used to be , The old coach tried his best, but he couldn't let Newcastle United enter the Champions League. The competitive strength of itself is indeed far behind the giants.

And this season's coach Sansonez led Newcastle United, it seemed that the Magpies returned to the pre-liberation, and they did not ensure the success of relegation until the penultimate round was finished!

Millwall just secured their title defense, and Newcastle United just secured their relegation success. This time the battle took place at the Lion King Stadium. It is conceivable that the players of Newcastle United have no intention of fighting, while the substitute players of Millwall are He is full of energy and hopes to show his face more at the end of the season and show himself more on the court.

Newcastle United had little resistance. In the 32nd minute of the game, Larsson, who started as a center forward today, acted as the fulcrum of the striker and made a wonderful pass to the young teenager Messi. The latter quickly entered the penalty area The ribs, but calmly kicked the ball back past the opponent's defender, and then unexpectedly accelerated towards the goal. When the goalkeeper just abandoned the goal, it was not obvious that Messi had an obvious shot, but Messi But the ball was shot towards the goal, and the goalkeeper lay down and blocked it obviously slowly, the ball rolled past him, and then rolled into the goal!

Look at the performance of this elf, he is simply the second Ronaldinho, the perfect combination of human and ball is amazing! It seems that the ball is stuck to his feet, and the speed and explosive power are also impressive. The moment of sudden stop and quick turn, the tall defender of Newcastle United was stunned to the ground. His name is Messi, the representative of Millwall's new generation of talent, and he is not yet 18 years old! With such a talented player in the team, No wonder even the Times is lamenting: Millwall will rule this era of European football! In the past, Ajax was dismembered by the European giants because of the birth of the Bosman rule, and Millwall is facing gold dollar capital. The impact of the club has also experienced difficulties, but after their strong success this season, their image and influence have been further improved. No one will doubt that they will be the kings of this era! Fans of Millwall What a blessing that they can enjoy the best coaches and players in the world performing for them here!

Messi has played 13 times for the first team this season, half starting and half substituting, most of which are cup matches. Counting today, he scored 5 goals and 3 assists. The efficiency is amazing.

The players in the first team are also familiar with him and lament his talent. Everyone has a hunch that this little guy will be one of the indispensable core strengths of Millwall in the future. (To be continued..)
