The Young Lion

Ronaldinho has been waiting for Aldridge to appear in front of him since he was replaced in the game. He has a lot to say to Aldridge during this conversation.

When Aldrich sat down next to him, he immediately took off his earphones and began to speak incessantly.

Boss, I feel great today. It's really good. You should let me play the whole game. I think the opponent's defenders can't defend me at all. Then they became two central defenders, and the defense became empty. Big, if I'm on the pitch, I can I don't understand, I think we can score more goals, for sure.

Ronaldinho kept talking, and sometimes there was resentment in his words, like a child having a temper tantrum.

He kept talking until he couldn't continue, then he closed his mouth and looked straight at Aldrich, waiting for an explanation.

Aldridge spread his palms and said lightly, Look, this is your problem.

What's my problem?

The problem with you is that you start to play how you want to play on the pitch.

What's the meaning?

Aldridge sighed and said: If you play according to your ideas, Pavel also plays according to his ideas, Thierry, Henrik, Andrea, etc., there are 11 players on the field , play according to your own ideas, are you sure, this will be a team? Can you cooperate together? Can you win the game in the end? You won’t have conflicts because of conflicts of personal ideas?”

Ronaldinho frowned and said nothing.

Aldridge said patiently: As for the game just now, I let the whole team stabilize the rhythm. This is my tactical purpose. But you are on the field, but you are focused on attacking. Other teammates can't just watch you dribble the ball. Go forward, so you have led other players to violate my tactical requirements. I will not discuss whether my tactical arrangements are correct or not, and I will not explain this to you, because this is not what you should do. What you care about, what you should think about, there is only one thing you have to do. You do what I ask you to do on the field, obey my tactical arrangements, and my purpose is only one, to lead the team to victory, and your What about the purpose? If your purpose is the same as mine, which is for the team to win and create brilliance for the team, then you must cooperate with me. Now, tell me yourself what you are pursuing in the Millwall jersey What is it? What is it?

Aldridge spoke lightly. The serious expression brought Ronaldinho unprecedented pressure. Under Aldridge's unquestionable words and questioning, Ronaldinho swallowed and said in a deep voice: I also hope to help the team win.

Very well, we have reached a consensus.

I hope you can prove this with your actions, don't let me down.

Aldrich lightly pressed his shoulder with one hand, stood up and relaxed, and said with a smile, You did a good job today, and scared the Germans to the ground.

Just as Ronaldinho breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard Aldridge's praise, raised his head and smiled, and shook his head after Aldridge walked away.

Obviously he was full of bitterness at the beginning, but in the end he blamed himself and became frightened.

Especially when he was questioned just now, and Aldrich's commanding tone made his heart hang suddenly. He was really not afraid of Aldrich's anger, but he was afraid that the other party would exude a dignified posture.

For Brazilian players, it is natural to be free and undisciplined. Occasionally, one or two players who are strict with themselves, especially those who can integrate into the European team system, are praised as role models. They have technical advantages over European players, but often lack teamwork centripetal force.

Aldridge does not want Ronaldinho to become a player outside the free tactical system because of his superior talent.

There are three options before him.

First, Ronaldinho leaves.

Second, with Ronaldinho as the absolute core, bet all the honor and disgrace of the team on him, and give him absolute privileges. If he plays well, the team will win every battle. When his state declines, the team is in a downturn.

Third, try to train Ronaldinho as a team player, restrain his freedom, and let him do his best to serve the team.

For the first option, Aldridge never thought, no matter from team building or personal feelings, his personal relationship with Ronaldinho also made him never think that he would sell Ronaldinho one day in the future.

The second option will become the mainstream of many wealthy teams in the future. The team-building model of superstars is commonplace, but the accompanying hidden worry is that one or two superstars will often dominate the trend of the whole team. On the court, there will be a stark contrast to the team's record. Aldridge has cultivated many stars, but he will never give privileges to the most famous stars on the court. This is the philosophy of team building and the purpose of team development. However, if a star insists on having certain privileges, such as not participating in defense, but only attacking, or scoring goals by himself, and other players must surround him to serve him, then Aldridge has only one answer: fuck off.

What he is doing now is the third choice, restraining Ronaldinho's freedom. This is not only for the team's consideration, but also for Ronaldinho's career. Certain talented players must be put on him. The shackles, give him a fixed rule to follow, there are many such counterexamples, there is no need to list the star-studded South American players, England's most talented genius Gascoigne in the past ten years, he is already regretting it, why? He didn't go to Manchester United at the beginning. If he was under Ferguson's discipline, his career would have been a different scene, and his entire life might have been completely different.

Millwall returned home triumphantly, and there were a large number of fans outside the airport to welcome their return.

This time the Wild Lions went to Munich, many fans must be worried. After all, they lost last year. Now the results of the first round of the match came out. Millwall defeated the opponent 3:1. This result made the fans overjoyed. It seems that the team has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years.

Fleet Street also sang the praises of Millwall the next day.

1:0 to 1:3, one year, what happened?

The Times first reported Millwall's defeat to Munich a year ago. All of Aldridge's speeches when he boosted the team's morale immediately after the game were republished. This is news that has been hyped for the last year. At that time, Aldridge asked the team to look up and get back on the road, saying that that failure was a new starting point, which earned a lot of applause from the outside world at the time.

A team cannot avoid failure, even a period of downturn or sinking, but whether it can recover and make a comeback is one of the important factors to measure the team's temperament and strength.

During the year, Millwall wasn't just talking big words. Instead, use real performance to fulfill the promises made at the time.

A year later, Bayern Munich is still one of the top teams in Europe, and Millwall is still one of the protagonists in the Champions League from the perspective of popularity, but the difference in strength between the two seems to be much greater than outsiders imagined. Millwall's huge lead in the Premier League is only considered to be a gap in strength between Millwall and the Premier League teams. However, when Manchester United, the defending champion of the Champions League who can only cry in despair in the league, also breaks into the quarterfinals of the Champions League At that time, the whole of Europe must admit that Millwall is not the best in the Premier League. Instead, it is widening the strength gap with the entire European giants.

There is no league on the weekend, and the quarter-finals of the FA Cup are coming as scheduled.

Millwall will host Arsenal.

the day before the game. Aldridge beat the nerves of the substitute players like a general giving a lecture while inspecting the troops.

Recently, the outside world has been praising Millwall, thinking that we are so strong that we only have the word Overlord written on our faces. From your expressions during training recently, I can see that this makes you feel very honored. However, I think that's bullshit, you guys, get excited too early, go home and look through the photos to see which one has you in the winning lineup, go into your honor room and count the number of medals, and then, you ask yourself : Can you laugh? Would you be an idiot if you could laugh?

A gust of cold wind blows, and these substitute players who will play in the FA Cup tomorrow have some goosebumps.

Summer is coming, but they feel a little cold.

Think about it carefully, yes, what a proud fart!

Aldrich has found the media winds to be a little odd lately.

It's still early before the summer transfer period, but many giants or first-tier teams have started rumors with Millwall.

Especially the Italian team.

No way, Italy's traditional top three, only Milan played in the Champions League this season, and was eliminated in the first stage of the group stage.

For the other three teams, Parma failed in the qualifiers, Fiorentina was eliminated in the second stage of the group stage, and Lazio, the only one that reached the quarterfinals, was slaughtered by Valencia 5:2 two days ago.

The world's first league?

Little World Cup?

In the new millennium, the dominance of the Serie A league began to waver, which can be seen directly from the results of the European war, and it was dropped by one level a year.

The year before last, Juventus' tickets to the final were robbed by Millwall.

Last year, Juventus fell at the feet of Manchester United.

This year, there is only one Serie A team in the top 8, and if there is no accident, they will stop in the top 8.

The decline in competitiveness in the European war may be related to the serious internal friction in the league, but if you can’t achieve results in the European war, it’s really hard to rest on your reputation as the world’s number one league. They are all willing to burn money, so it is imperative to poach people.

In the football circle, if you can't beat a club on the green field, you can completely defeat this opponent in another way: poach your people!

Millwall has become the target of public criticism, rich, famous, and shameless. Anyway, almost the entire team of Millwall has recently been rumored to have scandals with strong teams in the media of different European countries.

Aldridge wasn't too worried about the main players, after all, he had given all that was due, but the substitutes were also looked down on by others, and he was afraid that these fledgling players would really be bombarded by sugar-coated bullets, thinking that they really had the ability Alone.

Therefore, he is going to beat and beat this group of players and give them a chord on their minds.

Seeing these substitute players standing in front of them with their heads held high, Aldridge walked up to Klose and said softly, Do you know what I saw?

Klose stared left and right, a little like asking for help from others.

They have long been used to Aldrich's jumping thinking, but they don't want to be troubled by the problem.

Conspiracy. All of this is a conspiracy from the outside world. Now, there must be many people waiting to see the good show. Isn't Millwall a bull? Isn't Millwall crazy? Then what should you do if you lose? Can I step on you unscrupulously?

Aldridge walked in front of Klose, and the little carpenter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If you become arrogant because of your complacency, despise your opponent, and lead to defeat, then the outside world, including me, will make fun of you as an idiot, and you will take it seriously if you say a few beautiful words. You are better than a three-year-old kid Ah! If you don’t want to be a laughing stock, just close your ears, ignore the rumors from the outside world, take every day’s training seriously, face the next game with all your fighting spirit, and be ready to be the leader of the team at any time. main force!

As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, the substitute players roared in response to his lecture. (to be continued...) ()
