The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves and Qijilang ah Lang for their rewards!

Aldrich amused the group of reporters.

It's not that the reporter has no face, skin or dignity.

It was Aldrich who pierced what he thought in his heart.

They bowed their heads and smiled secretly.

Will the FA's three-way zone be okay?

Ghosts believe it!

Especially now that Aldridge has the position of coach of the national team, Millwall signed a genius who didn't even have an appearance record in the professional league, and the FA actually passed it. From January to August, it took more than two months to finally complete it, but which reporter who has been immersed in the football circle for many years doesn't understand it clearly?

But Aldrich's words are really irrefutable.

None of the players introduced by Millwall's genius clause was criticized.

But this kind of transfer, using the results to prove it, how convincing is it?

The FA does not have the ability to predict.

Most of the reporters are here to join in the fun of the news, but there are also some people who pay attention to Millwall seriously, and David Miller must be one of them.

Millwall is the public enemy of European powerhouses. Their opponents study them. The success of these years has made people outside the football circle also study Millwall, such as Cambridge Business School.

In the context of the collapse of the football economic environment, most teams rely on external channels to obtain development capital, even Real Madrid is no exception, when Florentino came to power. Real Madrid bears nearly 300 million in debt. Now. Real Madrid is planning to sell land in exchange for development funds, which is an alternative manifestation of Spanish government-business cooperation, but in essence, it is no different from some family-managed teams that rely on capitalists to invest and develop, except that the identity of the investors is different.

And clubs like Millwall and Manchester United, which are self-sufficient and profitable, are particularly attractive.

Millwall's seven-year football technical and tactical style change has been analyzed and studied by countless people. Generally speaking, it means becoming stronger step by step, taking a pragmatic route, from defensive counterattack to positional warfare, and then daring to press the offense when going to a strong team away from home. Such a curve grows, from weak to strong.

And Millwall's club business development has also begun to be known by insiders,

Or economists conduct research.

Excellent youth training brings stability in competition, and can also bring generous returns, reducing the cost of club development.

Commercialization frantically plunders the football market.

The success of Millwall's business is listed as the product of the combination of Ajax's youth training system and Manchester United's commercialization in the early 1990s. The two complement each other and promote together, resulting in a more positive chemical reaction.

David Miller disagreed with the article published by Cambridge Business School. It seems that the business school professors did a lot of work research and published a concluding report.

But still the same sentence, this is to use the results to disprove the process, which is meaningless.

Excellent youth training, what is an excellent youth training?

Are good coaches enough?

Certainly not enough.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

There are no talented seedlings, can you turn stones into gold by coaching alone?

In the eyes of David Miller, he believes that the most important point of Millwall's success is flexibility.

There are many teams whose development plan is very rigid.

If you want youth training, then the youth training will go all the way to the dark. When the youth training products fail and fail again, and fail until the chairman steps down and the boss wants to cry, he will wake up.

And some teams just spend money blindly, and can't get immediate results.

The flexibility of Millwall lies in eliminating hidden dangers!

The melon of a strong twist is not sweet. There are many main players of the team who are determined to leave the team but are forced to stay by the team. The result? Most of them are a lose-lose result. There are conflicts within the team, the record is affected, and the team also misses the opportunity to sell players to maximize their benefits.

Millwall will never force players who are determined to leave. The outside world often thinks that if those capable players stay in Millwall, Millwall will be unimaginably strong. David Miller does not agree with this , He felt that it would weaken Millwall, because it would inevitably affect internal unity. Only a united team can have a strong foundation.

As for Millwall's adherence to the tradition of youth training, this is indeed true. Over the years, they have worked hard to build a youth training system and have sent a lot of fresh blood to the team.

But in this season, it can be clearly seen that the quality of Millwall's youth training has declined this year.

De Rossi is the only one who can be transferred from the youth team to the first team!

where is the problem?

It's just that there are fewer good seedlings.

Millwall would rather let go of more than 10 academy players than transfer them into the first team and promise them enough playing time.

This is another example of Millwall's flexibility.

This kind of flexibility is in line with the cruel survival rules of the football world.

It does not depend on whether there is a youth training background. Youth training is not a necessary product, but a better supplement and component of the first team.

The Brazilian Kaka signed today, he can no longer become a youth player of Millwall, but Aldridge still let go of more than 10 youth players of the same age, and gave the outsider to the first team Reserved a seat.

David Miller believes that this is the secret of Millwall's success, keeping pace with the times, not being bound by traditional concepts, and not blindly fixing a model based on past success.

Aldridge, can you introduce this new aid in detail? His characteristics, position on the field, and what role will he play in Millwall in the new season?

In order to prove his point of view, David Miller must know the details of the player Kaka.

Even without the performance data of Kaka's professional league, David Miller believes that Kaka's potential evaluation grade in Aldridge's mind and in Millwall can be judged.

Millwall have always been cautious about signing players, an investment of £6m, according to David Miller. Its importance is no less than that of Henry's transfer.

Henry was bought for £10 million. But then. Henry is already a member of the World Cup champion, and he has performed well in the league and in the European war.

As for Kaka, he has never played a game in the professional league, and with an investment of 6 million pounds, Millwall must be more cautious than when he bought Henry. Because Henry's strength is obvious to all, everything about Kaka is unknown, only their scout observation report.

Just by understanding Kaka's position and technical characteristics.

David Miller compares the 10 or so players that Millwall let go, and he can know at least what level Kaka is.

Aldrich was very happy with David Miller's questions, and the senior reporter's questions were always on point.

Well, Kaka plays an attacking midfield position. He has speed, good technical ability with his feet, and certain organizational skills. His dribbling breakthrough and long-range shots are all very characteristic. The closer to the penalty area, he The greater the threat.

You mean, is he going to be the next Nedved?

Aldridge waved his hand and said: No, I never said that a certain player will become the second so-and-so. No player is repeated. Every player has its own characteristics. Kaka is Kaka, but if you compare For Nedved, his defense is not as good as Nedved, but his offensive talent will be stronger than Nedved.

Wow

The reporter at the scene was really taken aback.

Generally speaking, the head coach would not bluntly say who is better than whom, but Aldridge said that Kaka's offensive talent is stronger than Nedved's.

Nedved!

God of War in Millwall.

So, is it really okay?

Aldridge thinks it doesn't matter. Nedved will be 30 next year. How can he compare himself like young people? At this age, self-knowledge is the most basic. It is absolutely nonsense to say that there are very few players who are stronger than him in offense. And he, Nedved is just Nedved. His offense, defense, organization, breakthrough, spiritual will and other aspects are combined together, and he is the God of War. There are many players who are better than him in a certain special ability. .

David Miller didn't make a fuss, he was rational. Kaka's offensive talent is worse than Nedved's. In other words, his defense is not as good as Nedved's, and his offense is just talent. Before it turns into strength, everything is vain. of.

He thought that Millwall's left wing would be dominated by Ronaldinho for a long time, another young talent who was supposed to succeed Nedved in the future.

Can you compare Joe Cole and Kaka?

David Miller's pointed question made Aldridge want to beat him up.

Look, in this case, the head coach can't say who is better than the other. Both are young people, and they will be competitors. Aldridge is perfunctory, saying that the two have their own advantages.

David Miller felt like he was asking nonsense.

If Joe Cole is better than Kaka in Aldridge's mind, why should Aldridge buy Kaka?

After David Miller finished analyzing his mind, he raised his head in shock and looked at Kaka.

This seemingly carefree sunny boy may have high hopes in Aldridge's heart, which may be no less than Ronaldinho!

Other reporters just ran the news routinely, but David Miller made a new discovery. He decided to follow up and observe Kaka’s performance in the future. If Kaka can reach the height of Ronaldinho, he really can’t imagine How strong will Millwall, which has already established its status as the king in European football, become!

After the press conference, Aldridge took Kaka to the training ground to meet with the first team and introduced the newcomer to his teammates. After Aldridge left, Ronaldinho played tricks and was rude to fellow Brazilians.

He said to Kaka: There is a tradition in the Millwall dressing room. New players have to do two things. First, sing us a song. Second, masturbate in public to prove that you are a man of kind!

Some club locker rooms do have weird traditions, but what Ronaldinho said was pure trickery.

Kaka was dumbfounded, or rather, petrified.

It was Nedved who came forward to let Kaka understand that it was a false alarm.

Singing is a must-do thing for newcomers after they arrive, in fact, it's just for everyone to watch the fun.

Kaka blushed and sang a song, and then Southgate held back a smile and said that the team would hold a welcome party for him tonight, which was actually a group dinner outside.

But Kaka was still blushing and said that he would go home after the training

The players of Millwall's first team were all shocked by this good boy. In the end, they were also probated and changed the dinner to welcome Kaka's arrival to noon the next day.

Two days later, Millwall ushered in the fourth warm-up match against Inter Milan.

The aliens have not yet come back, but the day of comeback is not far away. Inter Milan was anticlimactic last season, and finally ended fifth in the league. They didn't even qualify for the Champions League. The season invited Aldrich's old rival Cooper.

In this summer's warm-up match, Aldridge frequently met familiar faces. He only played two rounds with Cooper in the quarter-finals of the Champions League a few months ago. He did not expect to have another match with Cooper. (to be continued...) ()
