The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

After the game, the visiting team locker room.

Aldridge leaned against the door with his arms folded. The players walked in one by one. They sat in the chairs and remained silent. The only sound in the locker room was the heavy breathing of everyone.

When Millwall usually loses or is drawn by underdogs, they are naturally in a bad mood, and no one wants to talk after the game.

But if they are defeated technically or tactically, the veteran players will take the initiative to communicate within the team after the game, learn lessons and improve the shortcomings. Fiction novel chapters are updated the fastest

Today's defeat, what can we communicate?

If you want to shoot, you have to shoot, and there is basically no defense, except that Karuna's fake stop allowed Valencia to make a sneak attack, and the other three shot opportunities given to the opponent were all taken by Valencia. The threat is very high. Small, it can be said that they are very successful in limiting the opponent's counterattack.

Referring to Valencia's success in La Liga, and being able to overwhelm the Bats in Mestalla, the only thing Millwall lacks is scoring.

After the players calmed down a bit and calmed down the excitement of the game, Aldridge spoke.

We canceled the wrap-up meeting for this game. You shower and change your clothes now. We head home and forget about this game. One thing to remember is that a week later, we will advance to the semi-finals at the Lion King Stadium.

After saying these words lightly, Aldridge turned around and opened the door of the locker room to go out. He had to attend the post-match press conference.

In the locker room, Southgate and Nedved stood up first and took off their jerseys. Get ready to shower and change clothes. The other players also took off **'s jersey in silence. Do the post-match procedures step by step.

Generally, Millwall will have a post-match summary meeting, which is usually to improve the players' awareness of the game. Aldridge opened his mouth and canceled the summary meeting of this game. The reason is very simple and has no summary value.

They restricted Valencia to perfection in the away game. Gonzalez's goal can only be said to be an accident. Anyway, Aldridge does not believe that goal is a premeditated goal. He will not put the blame on Materazzi, even if Materazzi himself thinks that the conceded goal is related to him, Aldridge thinks that changing a defender of Nesta's level may not be able to expect Carew That ball will be that trajectory.

What Aldridge needs the players to do is to forget the game as soon as possible. The more he recalls, the more he will fall into the magic barrier, deliberately amplifying Valencia's defensive ability,

A blow to self-confidence is likely to cause a short-term psychological shadow, especially for offensive players. It will make them hesitate when they shoot: In the end, can this shot be scored?

Players must have an unwavering belief in advancing. There are still 90 minutes in the game, and the gap is only one goal. As long as the confidence is not lost, the fate is still in your hands!

Cooper accepted the post-match interview before Aldridge. He said that Valencia had achieved an extremely difficult victory. When commenting on the game, he emphasized that this was the transformation of Valencia’s spirit and fighting spirit into a victory on the field. Regarding the outlook for the second round, Cooper Keeping it secret, keeping it secret, as if to surprise Millwall at the Lion King.

In fact, the outside world does not need to guess what posture Valencia will take in the second round.

They can only play defensive counterattacks. At home, they have played this trick to the end. When they go to the away game, can they be expected to become unrestrained in their posture?

When Aldridge stepped onto the stage, the reporters on the scene were shaken, and many of them had teasing eyes, waiting for a good show to be staged.

After sitting down, without waiting for the reporter to ask questions, Aldrich first said: I'm short on time today, so, what do you have, ask them one by one at a time, and I'll answer them later.

As soon as the words fell, Aldrich rested his chin on one hand and scanned all the reporters with a smile on his face.

The reporters looked at each other in blank dismay, Aldridge's card was playing big enough!

If you win and play big, we can criticize your low quality.

But now Millwall has lost.

Don't look at his gentle tone of voice, but in fact his posture is crazy.

Some reporters from England understood Aldridge's intention after thinking about it.

Divert attention.

I'm afraid, he can't wait for the headline on the front page tomorrow to be Millwall loses a goal away, Hall is defiant after the game!

In this way, whether it is the outside world or the team, the information obtained from the media deviates from the game itself.

Many journalists with non-British seniority shook their heads with sneers on their faces, and some stood up and left.

With the first one, there will be the second one, and almost a dozen media reporters have left one after another.

They used this to hit back at Aldridge as a response to Aldridge's lack of respect.

The relationship between football journalists and clubs is indeed interdependent. Sometimes in order to run news, journalists are relatively weak.

But today's occasion is the post-match press conference stipulated by UEFA. The backstage is UEFA. As the coach, Aldridge is obliged to attend. The reporter can appear here only after obtaining the interview qualification.

Everyone owes nothing to each other and is equal in status.

I ask you, is my freedom.

Answer or not, is your freedom.

Between one question and one answer, there is an equal relationship between each other.

Aldrich said he asked the reporters to ask them one by one, and he answered at one time at the end, which was a bit of a contempt for the established rules, as if he was dominating the scene and overriding the reporters.

It seemed that everyone lined up to serve him like a star.

In the eyes of some veteran reporters who don't know Aldridge, Aldridge is now like a spoiled child.

It's normal for the team to be in a bad mood after losing the game, but at least you have to show your proper demeanor, right?

Don't look at Aldrich smiling, but he said such willful and rude words, he just looks a little better than Sapo.

These veteran non-British media reporters left the venue one after another, silently conveying a signal: Sorry, you want to play big names, yes, we will not serve you.

Aldridge always held his chin with a harmless smile on his face. UEFA's press officer was in a dilemma and felt embarrassed. There is nothing to do.

There are quite a few reporters who did not leave the audience.

Those big-name journalists can walk away with ease. Some people can't. After all, we still have to eat.

Consoling myself rationally, at least one unexpected piece of news material has been obtained, and then I will listen to Aldridge's post-match interview, and I will be able to do business when I go back.

Neither the Fleet Street reporter nor the Spanish reporter left.

Most of the reporters on Fleet Street smiled wryly.

Let the young commander succeed again!

At such a critical stage of the Champions League quarter-finals, Aldridge started the group mocking mode, actively attracted media attention, and reduced the pressure on the team, especially the players. As for offending other European media reporters, it's a fart. Anyway, those media still want to report on Millwall.

The Spanish media reporters were waiting to ridicule Aldrich.

Losing, you lose so badly!

Millwall really deserves to be the first team in Europe to be hated by strong teams!

Okay, let's start asking questions. If no one has anything, then I will leave.

Aldridge changed his posture, leaned back on the chair, and said with a smile.

Reporters began to ask questions, one after another. Some are purely difficult, and some are concerned about the game itself.

After the draw for the top 8, Millwall's voice to advance to the final is very high. After losing in Valencia today, as the head coach of the team, what do you think is the probability of Millwall reaching the final?

Is the reason for Millwall's loss today is that you are too big? In the past, Millwall used defensive counterattack tactics when they played away in Europe, but today they used aggressive attacks. Valencia used defensive counterattacks to beat you. Is this true? Is it caused by your wrong tactical choice?

From winning Valencia 4:0 to losing Valencia 0:1 today, it took less than a year. Has Millwall's strength decreased, or has Valencia's strength improved? We noticed that Millwall's strength has improved. The Premier League has also become difficult and the domestic cups have been knocked out early.

Can you comment on the game? Valencia only got 4 shots, but Millwall had 32. It's hard to believe that the final score will be 1:0.

After the reporters finished asking, Aldridge opened his mouth in a half-true and half-fake tone: This is Spain, Valencia, we are playing at the Mestalla Stadium, maybe the patron saint of the bat gives Mestalla There's magic on the court, huh.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the oppressive atmosphere at the scene disappeared immediately.

Many reporters smiled knowingly.

In all fairness, watching the entire game, even die-hard bat fans, would feel that Valencia was a fluke.

Millwall's goal post and crossbar hit a basket, and Canizares and several players made rescues in front of the goal at critical moments, which was absolutely phenomenal.

Even at the penalty moment when everyone thought the luck was over, Millwall still failed to score.

Valencia's performance was impressive and worthy of respect, they deserved to win, some of you just now asked me what I think of Valencia's defensive counter-attack tactics, I can only say, today, they won, that's all. Conversely, someone asked if Millwall made a wrong tactical choice. My answer is no. We performed very well today, but conceded an unexpected goal. The game is full of confidence, does anyone doubt that Millwall has no way to break Valencia's defense?

Aldridge rarely criticizes the opponent's tactics, although the reality is that if Millwall also plays defensive counterattack, the scene of this game will become extremely boring. He is not pursuing the scene, but Millwall can use it The offense is very threatening, there is no need to play a defensive counterattack, what is lacking is the goal.

If this game was played back a year and played in the final, Aldridge might not be able to bear such a cruel reality blow, and Canizares would definitely be able to win a battle, but this kind of game must not be staged continuously. In a match, with Valencia's mentality, the two teams were in a new environment and in different states, and Aldridge didn't believe that he could play a game that seemed to be cursed by Millwall.

Hearing Aldrich's answer, the Spanish journalists in the audience smiled disdainfully.

Football is a magical sport, a sport that uses results to demonstrate the process.

After winning the game, it is absolutely correct to go back and replay the game, especially the tactics adopted by the head coach.

Losing the game, no matter what the scene is or what the situation is, is vulnerable, and it is difficult to overturn the impact of the absolute truth brought about by the result.

As long as he can win, even the ugly bus can be praised by the king.

If you can't win, the gorgeous and dazzling will only be left out in the corner.

Aldridge played a big game after the game, and after an interview, he joined the team and returned to London.

The next day, sure enough, many media criticized Aldridge's behavior after the game, and some even suggested that Aldridge see a psychiatrist.

Millwall's defeat became the second, and Aldridge successfully relieved the team's pressure. During the recovery training, Schneider secretly laughed with his teammates: The boss is naughty again! (to be continued...) ()
