The Young Lion
Three hundred and seventy-two, lesson 1
Millwall's airborne landing in Tokyo ignited the enthusiasm for football in the city. The Millwall first team attended five commercial activities for two consecutive days. If Aldridge was only the head coach, he would definitely object, but he is also the team owner. The popularity and influence of commercial development, they can only participate in it, and the players do not object, after all, commercial activities can intuitively increase their income.
At 1:30 pm on November 31st, in the Tokyo National Sports Arena, the friendly match between the Millwall Junior Team and the Japanese Junior Team officially kicked off.
The venue was full of seats, and the Japanese people naturally wanted to support the national team at close range, and one ticket can watch two games. After the youth team game, there will be a contest between the youth teams.
In the VIP box, Aldridge and the coaching staff of the first team are sitting here watching the game. Next to him is a Japanese: Chairman of the Japan Football Association, Saburo Kawabuchi.
This person has made great contributions to Japanese football. He has set up a century-old football plan for Japanese football and has firmly implemented it. Now he has only served as the chairman of the Football Association for four years, but in history he has been in power for more than 20 years and can be in power stably. , It is also an important factor for Japanese football to stick to the plan for long-term development.
Saburo Kawabuchi whispered frequently to Aldridge in the box, most of the time the other party said that Aldrich rarely took the initiative to speak, because he could not stand the poor English of the other party, and sometimes the servant had to think for a long time to understand one or two words The other party's words.
Japanese football learns from Brazil and takes the technical route. This is also the choice of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. If they follow the powerful route, let alone break out of Asia. They may not even be able to rule the roost in East Asia. Not to mention the power impact with the players in West Asia.
Youth team game. The age limit of players is under 17 years old. The Japanese youth team is almost all 17-year-old players, while the players drawn by Millwall from all echelons have a small age gap.
17-year-old Evra, Barzagli plus 16-year-old Lescott and Mexes formed the defense.
The 17-year-old Parker and Carrick and Alonso, who just passed his 17th birthday last week, formed a midfield partner.
The 17-year-old Joaquin and Vicente formed a bilateral avant-garde.
Up front is David Villa, who turns 17 in four days.
The goalkeeper picked someone at random.
In Japan, although football is not the number one sport, with the rise of the wave of national football, in a small country with a population of more than 100 million. The number of fans is huge, and they must be here today to support the Japanese youth team, but since the beginning of the game, the cheering and cheering in the stands has become smaller and smaller.
Although the players of the Japanese youth team mainly hone their skills,
However, he was completely at a disadvantage when facing players of the same age at Millwall.
The offense couldn't advance at all, and the mistake of passing and receiving the ball directly caused Millwall to launch a fast break calmly.
Parker successfully intercepted in the backcourt, and then passed the ball to Alonso. Then, Alonso and Crick kicked the wall consecutively within a small area to complete a 2 over 3!
Alonso, who dribbled forward, made a precise pass to the wing, and Vicente blasted the opponent with speed on the left. After dribbling the ball to the bottom and then hitting the top of the arc in the penalty area, Alonso made a fake shot and made a true pass. Villa's anti-offside successfully sent the ball into the opponent's gate easily.
Only 3 minutes into the game.
The audience in the stadium stands were dumbfounded.
Is this a youth team game?
Just seeing Alonso and Carrick kicking the wall in succession is dazzling, and it is indeed admirable to see the ball interspersed with kicking the wall within a few seconds.
Saburo Kawabuchi was speechless. He knew that there would be a gap between the technical flow of Japanese football and the tactical flow of Millwall, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big!
After the goal, Villa trotted back to high-five Alonso before preparing to restart the game.
Aldridge doesn't care much about today's opponent, and in fact the training effect on Millwall is not much.
If you meet a powerful opponent, there may be some training value, but when you meet a half-skilled opponent, the young people like Millwall can play like a fish in water, because they can dominate the game through simple pass control, physical confrontation The intensity is even worse than that of the English youth league. On the real big stage, in the game where every inch of land is contested, even if you can pass the ball into the opponent's goal, you still need physical confrontation to block and protect the ball. more meaningful.
The Japanese youth team could not control the rhythm of the game at all. As long as they passed halftime, they would lose the ball, and the passing cooperation would not exceed three legs.
The Millwall youth team played steadily, without a good chance on the wing, they made a fuss in the middle. Alonso, Carrick, Parker and the retreating Villa, the four of them did not try in a single cooperation. The breakthrough was created entirely by passing and cutting the ball and kicking out the ball. In the end, Alonso's push from the dead corner on the penalty area line helped the team score again.
2:0, the time is the 11th minute of the game.
Mr Hall, how long have these kids been playing together?
Saburo Kawabuchi asked thoughtfully.
The current scene not only stupefied the audience, but Saburo Kawabuchi, as the chairman of Japan, also had a bad face. If Millwall defeated the Japanese team by personal skills, then this gap is acceptable. The physical fitness of European players is there. But the two goals just now were not scored by Millwall players relying on technical ability to crush their opponents.
After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: This question is difficult to answer. Some players came to the club to receive training earlier, such as the kid who scored the first goal. He came to Millwall three and a half years ago. Others Some of them were two and a half years ago, some were a year and a half ago, and there were only three players on the field who joined the club half a year ago.
It's no wonder that their tacit understanding is very high.
Aldrich stopped talking.
In just 11 minutes, the Millwall Junior Team made the Japanese Junior Team aware of the gap between the two sides, and the Japanese Junior Team was powerless to fight back!
After achieving a two-goal lead, the Millwall Junior Team played more openly and showed more personal skills. Joaquin and Vicente ravaged Japan's young full-backs on the wing. Force the opponent to have a central defender or midfielder to help defend. But this will expose defensive flaws in other areas.
Villa played very happily today, two wide players attracted the defense, and Alonso and Carrick delivered shells behind him. At the end of the first half, he scored four goals.
The score in the first half made all the Japanese fans regret buying tickets to enter the stadium.
7:0.
This score is too cruel!
The Japanese youth team collapsed across the board after 20 minutes, and the defense was disorganized and full of loopholes.
This is why Aldridge believes that this game has no training value for the young players of Millwall U17, the gap is too big. Moreover, the tactical awareness of the opponent's players is too weak, and their psychology is even more fragile. After scoring the third goal, they become impatient and frequently lose their positions in defense.
During the intermission, people from the Japanese Football Association whispered beside the leadership of Kawabuchi Saburo. I don’t know what they were discussing. Strong football style, they did not become angry. Originally, this game was played by Japanese sponsors who spent a lot of money to invite Millwall to play. The Japanese youth team is not capable enough. Millwall can't be blamed for being merciless.
Head coach Dean Richards led the junior team today, and he made five substitutions at halftime.
Jenas, Nolan in for Parker and Carrick.
Ronaldo, Messi, and Aguero came on to replace Joaquin, Vicente, and Villa.
The first two substitutions were considered normal, and the audience couldn't tell that Jenas was only 15 years old.
But when Ronaldo, Messi, and Aguero appeared on the stage, all Japanese fans went crazy.
Millwall is so fucking crazy!
Ronaldo looks 15 years old at best, Messi and Aguero are more like 11 or 12-year-old children, especially Messi, no one doubts that he is 10 years old.
The Japanese youth team also changed a group of players in the second half. The group of people who were slaughtered in the first half had almost collapsed, and they could not gain any experience in the game. It is better to be calm and calm in the end.
Saburo Kawabuchi returned to his seat and prepared to continue watching the second half of the game, but when he saw Millwall's substitution, he frowned and whispered: Mr. Hall, is this Millwall's contempt?.
Aldrich turned his head and asked, Mr. Saburo Kawabuchi, does the Japanese Football Association hope that Millwall will pay attention to this game or be perfunctory?
Of course I hope you will do your best!
Then let's just sit here and enjoy the second half.
Saburo Kawabuchi suppressed his anger. He had the same idea as the fans. He believed that Millwall was going to play with the Japanese youth team in the second half. You can make substitutions, but don't use such humiliating substitutions!
The new recruits of the Japanese youth team saw the three strikers on the opposite side, two of whom were a head shorter than them, and immediately became angry.
Look down on us!
But when the game started, the audience was dumbfounded.
After a successful steal by Jenas, the ball was given to Alonso, who gave it directly to Aguero in front.
Messi ran next to Aguero. In a small range, Aguero and Messi cooperated.
Two to one, two to two, the third defender learned his lesson and consciously wanted to block the opponent and continued to kick the wall, but Aguero, who was holding the ball, suddenly changed direction and broke through. Feet straight into the rib space.
The winger C Ronaldo rushed to the horse, and the opponent's defender immediately put a shovel to block his shooting angle. C Ronaldo stopped the ball on the spot and pulled the ball to the middle. He has already faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, and he can score with just a push, but In today's arena, he played.
He rushed to the goalkeeper with the ball, then stepped on the bicycle twice, turned around and knocked the ball with his heel to send the ball into the opponent's goal.
There was a dead silence in the stadium at first, and then the Japanese fans gave Ronaldo a flood of applause.
This player is obviously much younger than the others, but he played so chicly and gorgeously, and even scored a goal. No matter how firm the audience's stand, they couldn't restrain the urge to applaud him.
Aldrich shook his head slightly and showed a wry smile.
This kid has committed an old problem again.
But friendly matches, it doesn't matter, it's okay to satisfy his vanity.
Saburo Kawabuchi was dumbfounded. Since few Millwall players made such a technical move in the first half, he didn't know if all Millwall players could do this, or the level line was just this high.
In fact, in the second half, Richards replaced Ronaldo and Messi Aguero, just to let them go up to play and feel the atmosphere of the game.
When the little Messi protected the ball and changed directions back and forth to get rid of attracting the opponent's three defenses, the hearts of the audience were numb.
The Japanese youth team didn't even have a chance of fouling. That little guy was so fucked up. He moved left and right, forward and backward, and the speed with the ball was usually not fast. Seeing being approached, they immediately accelerated and changed directions. It's broken!
Ronaldo also had a great time playing, and his fancy moves attracted applause, but after he was intercepted twice in a row, the sideline coach Richards was also angry.
Let you go up and play, not like street football! (to be continued...) ()
