The Young Lion

Just an hour after the FA announced that Hoddle was sacked, Aldridge's phone rang off the hook.

Andrew asked him if he had any intention to lead the national team to compete in the European Cup next year and serve as a temporary team leader for the time being.

Andrew is a lobbyist, the lobbyist of the FA Chairman Thompson.

Thompson, chairman of the FA, believes that in order to stabilize the mood of the people and still have expectations for the national team, and to prevent the FA from becoming a target of public criticism, it is necessary to let a coach who can definitely reassure the public take office immediately.

There are not many people on the shortlist for the England national team coach now.

Because the conditions for coach selection are very harsh, in the past 100 years, the England national team has never had a foreign coach. As the chairman of the FA, Thompson naturally does not want this tradition to be broken by him. This tradition is also what the English people are willing to follow. They It is not Spain, which is free and open. They will be willing to use only local coaches like Germany and Italy. This is the tradition of a football power.

Aldridge told Andrew to turn Thompson down without thinking twice.

Are you kidding me? Millwall is in full swing this season. What is most needed now is stability. Aldrich is already very satisfied with the inner peace. At this time, he will take over as the coach of the England national team. Negative effect on Millwall, he won't do something unplanned, it's a self-defeating Great Wall.

Fleet Street, with a keen sense of smell, apart from reporting the news of Hoddle's dismissal, naturally had to analyze the next England national team coach. Because of this, countless reporters immediately called Aldrich to inquire about internal news and inquire about intelligence. , but Aldridge chose to refuse.

The voice of the media calling for Aldridge to take over as the coach of the national team is endless.

The headline on the front page of The Times read: FA, what are you waiting for? !

Below the title is a photo of Aldridge's upper body, and below it is a large collection of trophies, each with the year written on it.

From the beginning of the 95 season until the end of the 98 season, all the trophies won by Aldridge led the team in the four seasons, even those trivial charity shields are counted.

But there are also media predictions that Aldridge is unlikely to be the coach of the England national team.

There is only one reason: it is impossible for Aldridge to give up the Millwall coaching position.

The debate on this matter has continued, and it has also had a great impact on Millwall.

When preparing for the weekend league match, countless fans gathered on the sidelines of the training ground, holding up banners, all of which expressed the hope that Aldridge would not leave Millwall.

Millwall is now rich and can hire famous coaches to coach. I believe there must be many famous coaches who are willing to command this group of talented players to win honors.

But Wild Lions fans don't want to see that scene. Even in street interviews, most fans expressed that they are not interested in other so-called famous coaches. Even if Aldridge starts to lead the team's record down all the way tomorrow, they are willing to see Aldridge. Odd continues to coach Millwall.

At least, they used to be brilliant. At the peak, Aldridge was with them. If the team fell into a trough, they were willing to be by Aldridge's side. This is a habit, just like family, even if there is no Any passion, but we are used to each other's existence, and when we can't see it, everything will become very awkward.

Ronaldinho ran up to Aldridge carelessly during training and asked him: Boss, are you going to coach the England national team?

When the other party asked such a question directly, Aldridge realized that this turmoil must stop immediately. Maybe Ronaldinho just asked everyone's aspirations, and other players didn't ask, but he must have thought this way in his heart.

At Saturday's pre-match press conference in the Premier League, none of the reporters asked questions about the game, all focused on the focus of the England national team coaching position.

Aldridge took this opportunity to make a solemn statement: When I took over the Millwall club at the age of 18, I made a decision. In this life, I will only coach one club, and that is Millwall. And I don't want to retire yet, so I will continue to work in this position. I hope that the England national team will become better and stronger, and achieve excellent records in international competitions. However, I will not lead England It is not in my work plan for the national team to compete in the European Cup next year. Now, my work goal is only one, and that is to lead Millwall to defend the league title and make a breakthrough in the Champions League compared to last season. Please stop speculating about whether I will manage the England national team, thank you.

Aldridge's statement immediately silenced the flag on Fleet Street, and everyone involved spoke up, and no matter how much other people made noises, it was just sensationalism.

In the league weekend, he was waiting for an old friend to visit him at home.

Bobby Robson leads Newcastle United to Lions Den.

Robson took over the team when Newcastle United were at the bottom of the standings. At the end of the half of the league, Newcastle United had already left the relegation zone and opened a certain distance. Robson contributed a lot. Aldridge admired each other's place.

Some coaches can only play a good hand and win with a good hand, but they have nothing to do with a bad hand.

Some coaches can play good cards and bad cards, and the results are not bad. Robson belongs to this kind. He can lead Barcelona to play crazy offensive football, and can also lead the remnant PSV to the Champions League. Now Saved the magpie from the bottom abyss again.

Of course, this is not to elevate Robson's coaching level. For example, he failed to beat Capello in La Liga and lost to Aldridge in the same season, but his ability to flexibly use his coaching experience and knowledge should be Recognized and respected, anyway, Aldrich thinks this kind of coach is worthy of admiration. Compared with many so-called famous coaches who have poor coaching records and blame the lack of quality of the players, this type of coach Robson is really commendable.

Newcastle United are out of the relegation zone, and they can't produce too much pursuit this season, so they don't have much pressure to come to the Lion's Den Stadium, just play well.

Aldridge and the white-haired Robson stood and talked together before the opening.

What the two talked about had nothing to do with the game, but about the coaching position of the England national team.

Robson supported Aldridge to coach the national team, but Aldridge felt that the FA should not agree with him to serve concurrently and lead the team for a long time.

The long-term he refers to refers to a complete cycle of major competitions. For example, if he takes over the England national team now, it can only be regarded as a short-term and incomplete. The European Cup qualifiers are over, and he is nothing more than leading the team for a few games. A friendly match, and then go directly to the European Cup, this kind of short-term work, Aldrich feels that the possibility of failure is very, very, very big!

Actually, you also have an idea to accept the invitation from the FA?

Robson heard Aldrich's overtones. At least, Aldrich didn't deny it outright, and continued talking about this topic, so it definitely proves that he has thoughts in his heart.

Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled wryly, and replied, Maybe he was bewitched.

The bombardment by the media in the past few days has indeed had a psychological impact on him.

Never thought about this before.

He wants to lead the team, and it is a Premier League team, and then he will also be the coach of the England national team? The FA agree?

Stop dreaming!

But seeing the high voices from the outside world, Aldrich said that he had no idea in his heart, and he didn't have any thoughts of fumbling around, that's impossible.

When the players began to enter the field, Aldridge and Robson hugged and walked back to their respective coaches.

In today's game, Robson's tactical arrangement is more pragmatic. The strength of Newcastle United is not as good as it was back then.

Millwall's players played steadily on the court today. The rhythm is not fast, and they play more patiently and steadily. This is what Aldridge deliberately told before the game. It is not to be afraid of Newcastle United, but to adjust himself.

In the new season in the league, they have won 15 consecutive victories. If you count the 4 consecutive victories in the Champions League, the momentum and state of the main lineup's winning streak is almost reaching its limit!

Even the strongest team cannot maintain its state at its peak all the time. The state curve will inevitably fluctuate like other teams. The difference between a strong team and a weak team is that the trough period of a strong team is shorter and the peak period is shorter. The longer the period, the lower the frequency of fluctuations.

Millwall has set a new record, 19 consecutive league victories across seasons, and now every league game, they may break this record.

The players need to take a break and let it go, but now they are still fighting with a sigh of relief. The goal is to select the Ballon d'Or. Every weekend, even if it is not the British media, the media from other European countries will also pay attention to Miller. Wall, let's see if they can set a new league winning streak record. This is the best publicity campaign for the Golden Globe Awards. As long as players perform well, they will be magnified by the microscope and written about by the media.

But Aldridge needs the players to suppress the state in this game, don't explode, don't, maintain a stable state, if you want to explode, wait for the next game!

In the next league game, the Premier League Tianwangshan battle, Millwall will face the Red Devils Manchester United at home!

At the end of the game, the lion's den stadium erupted into huge cheers.

Millwall has won the 16th league game of the new season, and has won 20 consecutive victories across the season! The winning streak record of the five major European leagues has been refreshed again. Although the score is 2:0, the scene is also turbulent, but Millwall is in the game. The strong dominance in the game cannot be ignored. Newcastle United only scored 3 goals in the game. Robson lost to Aldridge for the second time. Derich shook hands, and the old and new English coaches had a brief post-match exchange. It seemed that they cherished each other. Now, all fans who follow Millwall can look forward to the next league game. Millwall will meet at home. Coming to Manchester United, whether the Red Devils can break Millwall's winning streak is crucial to the Premier League's title suspense, friends, see you in a week.

Winning this game is very important for Aldridge.

Whether Millwall is terminated to face Manchester United, or to face Manchester United with 16 consecutive league victories in the new season, the morale must be completely opposite.

During the post-match interview, he hurriedly answered reporters' questions and then left. Aldridge seemed preoccupied. After he walked out of the club, he got into a high-end car.

Andrew, who was specially called to the stadium to watch the game today, was sitting in the car. When he saw Aldrich getting in the car, he asked, Where are you going?

If you have to think about some things, go to a secluded place first.

What are you thinking about?

England national team coach.

Haven't you already issued a statement?

I just stated that I will never lead England to the European Cup next year.

Andrew rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle, I see. (To be continued.) ()
