The Young Lion

July 8th.

Aldridge held a conference call from his study at home.

He is the initiator, and the other three players are Nedved, Larson, and Southgate.

The three players were not in London, Larsson returned to Sweden, Nedved returned to the Czech Republic, and Southgate took his family to the Mediterranean for vacation.

I'm sure you've heard from the news that some players in the team have been involved in trade rumors, the most important of which is Ferdinand, who has verbally asked to leave the team, but I hope he stays, may not get his heart What do you think? If the club forces him to stay, will there be any problems in the locker room?

There is order in the dressing room and there are leaders. There are three captains in the Millwall team. The leading brother is naturally Southgate, a local international.

As the coach, Aldridge usually has a sense of distance between him and the players, but to master the locker room, he needs the players to support him wholeheartedly, so in many cases he only needs to communicate with the three captains.

He does not advocate an iron-fisted management method, but a flexible, free and open management method.

Originally using his young image to manage the team with an iron fist is bound to arouse the psychological resistance of many peers.

He wants to go? Then let him go. He will regret his decision today.

Larson was the first to comment.

Over the years, he has witnessed the departure of many players. Obviously, those players who left cannot be said to have mixed badly. Like Vieira and Shevchenko, they all went to a new team and quickly became the mainstay. Type player, but on its green achievements. It is still the players who stayed at Millwall who were more brilliant.

It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. The old man goes. Larson thought it was normal for a newcomer to come, not to mention that Ferdinand was not the main force, since he was impatient to wait for the superior to leave, then let’s leave, ten years later, twenty years later, on the day of retirement, we will look back at today’s decision. Regret or joy, experience it yourself.

Anyway, he thought there was nowhere else he could be more comfortable than Millwall.

It will be of great help to the team if he stays, but if he can't concentrate on playing for the team, staying will be a hidden danger.

Nedved still hopes that Ferdinand will stay in his heart, but he also understands that if a player's heart is no longer here, there will be potential problems in a united group. This kind of problem is difficult to see on the surface.

But sometimes behind the inexplicable difficulties, it is actually this kind of invisible and intangible problem that is playing a negative role.

Boss. Let's put it this way, if he doesn't want to stay and ends up staying. Then we have no problems when we win, but if the team loses when he plays? What do people think? Whether There will be a thought in the bottom of my heart: Did he give his all for the team? This kind of condemnation is unfair, but this is the most real thought, the thought that will come out involuntarily, boss, I also hope that he I can stay, but if you can't convince him to stay and work for the team wholeheartedly, then I don't want to see him in the locker room, and I will be very uncomfortable. Really, gradually, we will lack communication and affect the unity of the team.

Aldrich sat in a chair with his arms folded, thinking deeply.

He had never encountered such a situation.

In the past, when a player wanted to leave, Aldridge would let it go generously, but he didn't want the player to stay and affect the unity of the locker room.

Southgate's words made Aldridge figure it out.

Think about it too, if his colleagues are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han, can they work together with all their strength? Don't you have other thoughts in your mind? Speculate on the attitude of the other party or the idea of ​​giving value?

It's just that he feels that now he has the confidence to force a player to stay, which can be regarded as suppressing the player with a strong stance, but it can be done. Whether it is good or bad for the team needs to be analyzed in detail.

The unity of the locker room is extremely important. A team that is not united from within cannot expect to have a strong combat effectiveness on the court, and it will even be greatly reduced.

Aldridge still chose to guard against the passing of time, to prevent the signs of cracks in the locker room.

Boss, we have come from penniless to today. We have full confidence in you. After all, we don't expect one more Ferdinand to make the team stronger. Although it is better for him to stay, there is no He, so what? We still firmly believe that you can lead us to continuous success, Henrik is right, Ferdinand will regret his decision to leave, he should cherish the opportunity at Millwall, how many players want now What about joining us? Want to play under you? He should think about it.

In the end, Southgate reassured Aldridge in return, presumably thinking that Ferdinand's decision to leave had made Aldridge sad.

Aldrich suddenly laughed.

Although Aldridge attaches great importance to the departure of a substitute, he has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to let go or sad in his heart.

As a coach who has won nine championships in five years, if Aldridge bet on Ferdinand, he would be an ass. Of course, he has more confidence in himself.

It's just that as a head coach, he must have more comprehensive ideas than players.

One more Ferdinand does not seem to bring about a qualitative and powerful change for Millwall, but without one Ferdinand who is on the rise, how long will it take Millwall to develop a substitute of the same strength? This kind of training is bound to be at the expense of the record. Originally, the thickness of Millwall's central defender last season was a shortcoming. Neal switched to central defender, and Mills sometimes cameo. Now if Ferdinand really leaves, Millwall My substitute for the new season may not even have a central defender from Zhengyin.

Aldridge didn't want to spend money on a central defender substitute who was not high enough or low enough, and his own youth training had reserves, but he had to retrain. This kind of thing gave him a little headache.

Leeds United is launching a full-scale offensive in the transfer market, and it is very high-profile and eye-catching. Ridsdale seems to be announcing that Leeds United’s big investment is for the strong rise of the team, which can not only win over the hearts of fans, but also attract players to join more exciting.

Compared with Leeds United's aggressive attitude. Manchester United, which just won the Champions League title, is relatively low-key. Manchester United have passed on a £10m offer to Millwall. Buy Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Regarding whether to keep Van Nistelrooy, Aldridge respects Van Nistelrooy's personal choice. In fact, he is not indispensable, but Aldridge prefers to sell him abroad, but there are no foreign giants or Van Nistelrooy. The club issued a sincere offer.

If you continue to let the Premier League Golden Boot sit on the bench, it will be unreasonable.

Millwall and Manchester United conducted some secret bargaining. When Manchester United raised the price to 12.5 million pounds, Millwall agreed to Manchester United's offer. Allow the opposing team to approach the player to negotiate a transfer.

Ferguson called Van Nistelrooy personally and invited him to join Manchester United.

Manchester United cannot make specific promises to Ruud Ruud for next season. Heifeng Shuangsha, who made great contributions to Manchester United's victory in the Champions League last season, will still be the team's main striker partner.

But Ferguson's persuasion focused on Van Nistelrooy's career prospects.

First of all he has almost no future at Millwall.

Millwall's tactical system only needs one center forward, and it is a center forward with a wide range of activities that can cover the wingers. Henry is now, and Klose is on the bench. Through the performance of Klose in the FA Cup final, it is obvious that Klose Loser is more in line with Millwall's tactical system.

This has nothing to do with Van Nistelrooy's ability, it is a matter of playing style.

Secondly. Ruud van Nistelrooy is in line with the characteristics of Manchester United's tactical system. Manchester United's wing attack is to serve the striker. Ruud van Nistelrooy may be a substitute for the time being, but if he can perform well, at least there will be no problem of inconsistency between the tactical system and personal characteristics.

On July 13, Millwall and Manchester United suddenly announced a transfer agreement: Van Nistelrooy, the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot last season, transferred from Millwall to Manchester United for 12.5 million pounds.

Millwall published Van Nistelrooy's farewell letter on the official website, and the club thanked him for his past contributions to the team and wished him good luck.

Once the news of this transfer was announced, it caused a thousand waves with one stone. The major European giants thought that Millwall Supermarket would open again because they let go of the Premier League Golden Boot!

The giants once again launched an offensive against the main force of Millwall's first team, but they all returned in vain. Millwall refused all of them without exception.

Moggi, the manager of the Italian giants Juventus, called Adam to inquire about the possibility of Henry's transfer, but was also rejected on the spot.

The biggest disaster of Juventus in the past season may not be reversed by Manchester United in the semi-finals, but the zebra prince Del Piero was seriously injured for nine months!

Juventus began to worry about Del Piero's state after returning to the game. Moggi deliberately dug Henry to form a French attack group!

Zidane + Henry + Trezeguet.

Juventus often do this kind of transfer strategy or team building policy of copying a strong combination. Now that Parma's golden defense combination is in full swing, won't it be directly moved to Juventus in the future?

Ridsdale couldn't sit still.

Millwall even sold the Golden Boot striker. He just wanted to buy a few substitutes, but the transfer process has been stuck in a stalemate. He personally came to Liverpool to have an interview with Aldridge.

It was a sunny afternoon, Aldridge was sleeping soundly on a deck chair in the garden, and Melanie was lying next to him, reading with gusto a book on parenting, as the due date approached, she became more and more Motherly.

The phone rang in the living room. It was Aldrich's cell phone. Melanie got up and went to get the phone. She woke Aldridge up and asked him to answer the phone.

Adam said on the phone: The chairman of Leeds United has an appointment to see you.

When?

An hour later.

Is this also called an appointment?

Boss, are you inconvenient? Then

It's okay, let him come.

After Aldridge hung up the phone, he continued to lie down and close his eyes. Melanie asked curiously, Is there a visitor?

Well, the chairman of Leeds United will be at your door in an hour.

Then don't you need to prepare?

No, he led Leeds United to the grave, I'd better see him and Leeds United off naturally.

The corners of Melanie's mouth curled up, unable to understand the mystery of Aldridge's words, she turned around and walked into the living room to prepare some refreshments for the guests.

An hour later, Ritsdale arrived in front of Aldridge's house in a high-end car. There were many paparazzi around here. They immediately discovered that the chairman of Leeds United came to see Aldrich. It was not difficult. It's reminiscent of a deal between the two clubs.

Ridsdale brought his assistant to the door, dressed neatly and very decently, while Aldrich dressed fairly formally, with a shirt and trousers, and it was hot in summer, so it was not necessary to wear a suit when meeting guests at home.

However, seeing Aldrich's appearance, Ridsdale's expression was slightly displeased. (to be continued...) ()
