The Young Lion

Pirlo was very interested in asking questions about the tactics of the front midfielder organization and the delay organization. Aldridge was happy to discuss this topic with him. Ballack, Vieira, Nedved, Lampard and other midfielders They all listened eagerly.

The 1990s was an era when the organization's front midfielder was blown out, but after that it entered a period of hiatus, and even the classical midfielder disappeared in Europe more than ten years later.

The front midfielder is also advancing with the times. It has developed into a forward scoring and breakthrough support. It will no longer be shouldered by the offensive organization. , plus the beast waist is very popular.

The advantage of delaying the midfield is more obvious. One is the space, which allows excellent passers to play with ease. The other is that the frontcourt has an offensive core as a cover to attract defensive attention. This is the concealment of the offense. The third is the control over the midfield.

Aldridge poured all his knowledge into the players, hoping that they could examine the midfield, a battleground for military strategists, from the overall tactical perspective.

The first half of the Super Bowl ended, the two teams played evenly, and at halftime, the most exciting program of the Super Bowl kicked off in the anticipation.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is a stage where classics are born. The music artists who perform here are definitely the big names among the big names. The American music scene has always been proud of winning Grammy Awards, but on the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage, big Most artists have already won multiple Grammy Awards and are the most popular artists in the United States.

It's a pity that Aldrich and his team are not interested in the artist who made his debut this year, even though Diana Ross was named the most successful female singer in history by Guinness three years ago.

Melanie seemed very excited, ran to Aldrich, and could sing a cappella along with Rose's singing.

Aldridge felt sorry. He should have come to the United States to watch a Super Bowl three years ago.

Because the Super Bowl halftime show in 1993 was the superstar Michael Jackson, the halftime show that day has still maintained the national ratings champion.

After the halftime show, everyone took a break, and the Ladas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers continued to fight in the second half.

The boys were familiar with the rugby game in the first half, and they paid more attention to watching the game in the second half.

They saw that the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive team repeatedly used strong running to limit the opponent's offense. It was like building a steel wall in their own half. However, the Steelers' super quarterback O'Donnell made a pass The ball was intercepted by the cornerback of the Cowboys, and it was directly counterattacked by a TD. There was a burst of exclamation in the box!

Even if they are not rugby fans, they also experienced the thrill from the burst of passion on the field just now.

The offensive team's pass was intercepted, and the defensive team ran all the way to counterattack and hit Huanglong.

This is also very common on the football field, and this kind of mistake is made by the team's organization core, and there is no chance to make up for it.

Aldridge smiled at the players: I read some information before the game. Steelers quarterback O'Donnell is the player with the lowest pass interception rate in the NFL season, but his pass success rate today is obvious. Very low, the data does not mean anything, especially it cannot determine the trend of the game and predict the result.

The Japanese were the first to start counting all kinds of boring data on the football field. They like to list all kinds of data of a game in football magazines. They cannot completely deny the significance of the data, but the data can never restore the truth of the game, because football is not science. .

The second half of the game entered a fever,

Any mistake will lead to an irreversible outcome.

Aldridge enjoyed a textbook game.

When the fierce battle came to an end, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27:17.

Just looking at the statistics after the game, the Steelers' O'Donnell's number of passes, the number of successful passes, and the number of passing yards are all higher than the Cowboys' Aikman, but Aikman's success rate, and O'Donnell Paul's three fatal pass errors directly led to the birth of the MVP of the game. Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown directly scored 14 points for the team in the second half after two successful interceptions. The world is turned upside down.

When the Super Bowl came to an end, Aldridge left the Sun Devils Stadium with his satisfied team, went directly to the airport and then rushed back to London.

It was already Monday morning when they returned to London. The players slept obediently for six or seven hours on the plane, and then went home in the morning to rest for a while. In the afternoon, the team took the bus directly to the Riverside Stadium ahead of time. The new stadium opened by Fort this season.

The game was played at night, and the players came here early to adapt to the venue. The physiotherapists who came with the team helped the players relax their muscles and bones at Middlesbrough's home court.

Aldridge walked back and forth on the court. Maybe the players were still a little tired from the exhaustion, but at least they were in a good mental state, and there were always happy smiles on their faces when chatting with teammates.

There is a subtle relationship between the mind and the body. Sometimes even if the body is full of energy, but the spirit is weak, I am afraid that people are not fighting. Aldridge has always believed that the decisive factor of a player's combat effectiveness is the mental attribute, and the body is the explosive combat power. The basic equipment, as long as the body is not overwhelmed by fatigue, then the mental state is the first consideration.

Middlesbrough are also newly promoted. Under the leadership of Brian Robson, they have an impressive record this season. At least they are far away from the threat of the relegation zone. As long as they score another 13 points this season, they should be able to declare success in relegation. There are still fourteen rounds left in the league.

Millwall failed to hold its usual pre-match press conference yesterday, which drove Fleet Street mad.

They always like to follow and report on the focus teams, and they will also follow and pay attention to the mid-week training, but from the end of Millwall's FA Cup on Tuesday to Monday's league match day, Millwall's training ground is empty, and the reporters are on the training ground Seeing the deserted scene outside, I thought that the financial turmoil had swept through, and Millwall was in debt from top to bottom and ran away.

They inquired and dug in depth, but they didn't know where Millwall had gone.

Overnight, Millwall's first-team coaches and players all disappeared.

Even if they went to the player's apartment to stay for a while, there was nothing to gain. There were free tabloids distributed on the street shouting in order to attract attention: supernatural events in East London, Millwall collectively disappeared!

And on match day, Millwall surprised everyone by parachuting into the Riverside Stadium.

Because they didn't go back to the training base, they came directly to the away game to report.

When the game was about to start, Aldridge was sitting on the coach's bench in the riverside stadium, which was full of seats. He was feeling the comfort of the new stadium seats. He had been circling his own new stadium plan in his mind, and now he was sitting in someone else's new stadium. , Naturally, he has to feel it, so that he has a psychological expectation. If he is not satisfied, he will make detailed requirements with the contractor in the future.

Brian Robson took the initiative to walk over, and Aldridge raised his head when his sight was blocked. When he saw Robson, he smiled and said, Congratulations, we all succeeded in relegation!

Robson laughed and shook hands with Aldrich who stood up. He asked, Where has Millwall been recently?

Ok?

The papers these days say that Millwall is missing.

Oh, I gave the players a holiday. There are too many foreign players in my team. They are not used to having a holiday in winter.

Didn't you come here in League One last year?

Hey, I can't say that. It's not that after experiencing this kind of thing once, you can fully cope with it next time. It's a bit like a conditioned reflex. At that stage, you will naturally become mentally unbalanced.

You manage the team and also study psychology?

Of course. Didn't Brazil bring a psychiatrist to win the World Cup?

Haha, are you evaluating Bailey as childish and Garrincha as a mentally handicapped psychiatrist?

Aldridge and Robson laughed in unison. The two coaches had a very pleasant chat on the sidelines. The live broadcast camera was naturally aimed at the two. Robson’s first coaching debut in the Premier League season was a success. Aldridge’s first season in the Premier League Undoubtedly amazing, both of them are the focus of the coaches of the Premier League team this season, and they are also a great discovery in English football. Some media will look forward to whether the two will coach the England national team in the future.

For the head coach, the league is a small arena, where there will be like-minded friends, but also enemies who are irreconcilable. Although lone walkers who are superior to others will also become the focus, they cannot integrate into the mainstream.

Aldridge has a lot of friends, even if it was given to Nottingham Forest coach Clarke who lost his first season of the season, the two can have a good talk after the game, and his enemies are also very clear, Redknapp is one of them, Keegan also had a problem with him. He showed a clear stance in front of the public. No matter how the outside world interprets him, he will not be included in the category of being lost in the crowd, especially not a coach who plays tricks in the Premier League.

When the game started, Aldridge sat on the coach's bench. He didn't have high requirements for the game. The players played normally and just played according to the tactical requirements. What he didn't tell the players was: winning or losing is not important.

He thought so in his heart, but he might not tell the players.

In this game, he asked the players not to pursue a fast pace, because they had just returned from a long journey, controlled by continuous passing, the formation retreated slightly, based on the midfielder, and then slowly looked for offensive opportunities.

In the first half of the season, Middlesbrough defended to a draw at the Lions Den Stadium. At that time, they gritted their teeth for points, but now they are a little relaxed. After all, it is their home court. It is ugly to defend. The banner of attack was raised vigorously.

Aldridge was overjoyed by the state of the players on the field in this game. They were more calm and confident, with a temperament of controlling the game, and there was a murderous intent in their unhurriedness.

Middlesbrough played very tenaciously.

Pire's in-cut shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Larsson made a supplementary shot to open the scoring for the team.

Twenty minutes later Middlesbrough equalized from a corner.

In the second half, Nedved made a wonderful pass to Trezeguet, who volleyed the goal and scored from the near corner, giving the team the lead again.

In stoppage time, Schneider's free kick was blocked, and Stam scored a header from the penalty area to seal the victory.

Millwall enjoyed a comfortable win over Middlesbrough in their first league game since the break.
