The Young Lion

Aldridge is not a fan of Inter Milan, but in his previous life, many friends around him called themselves Nerazzurri. When talking about Inter Milan in this period, Nerazzurri generally felt that Inter Milan’s transfer operation was a failure, especially when they let go of West Milan. Dove and Pirlo felt like they were being tricked by their rival Milan to tears.

In this life, seeing that Moratti invited Cooper, although the time point has not yet arrived, like Seedorf in the formation, he must have entered the countdown to leave.

This does not need the butterfly effect to influence, Aldrich is very sure.

Having played against Cooper for two consecutive seasons, Aldridge understands the opponent's technical and tactical system.

Playing anti-reverse, the formation is 442 pairs of defensive midfielders, relying on long passes from the side. From the player's position, there is no living space for the midfielder. Pirlo, Seedorf, and the so-called Xiaoqi How can Dane's Dalma be useful?

Gurley, Conceicao, these players who are difficult to maintain a first-class level in Inter Milan, but because they are wide players, they are reused.

However, Inter Milan in this period swept away the weak sense of sight in the past. The reason is also very simple. Cooper's anti-reverse tactics are supported by Inter Milan's internal cohesion.

FIFA encourages offense and wants to make football more pleasing to the eye, but offense is always risky. Many small teams have no capital to play offensive football, but there is always room for survival, that is, defense.

A small team can create miracles if they play well in anti-reverse defense, such as Martin O'Neill who played against Aldridge in the past.

And if a big team, a stronger team plays defense, the scene is not good enough. But there is a record bottom line guarantee.

football circle. It's often heard that a strong team tried to play a flashy offense but screwed up. However, it is rare to hear that strong teams play defense and counterattack wretchedly, but their record plummets.

With Inter Milan's team and a head coach who emphasizes defense like Cooper, on the scene, it will not give people a sense of sight that the defense line is easy to penetrate, in other words, it is slightly tough.

This is the last game of the Lion King Cup, Inter Milan has a new coach for the new season, a new formation and a new lineup. It still needs a process of rehearsal and running-in. At least the first two games of Inter Milan felt pretty good, with one draw and one win, zero goals conceded, and only one goal.

The reason why Millwall is still considered strong by the media in the new season is because they don’t need to practice tactical formations, and the team’s main frame remains intact. As long as there are no problems of their own, they have an advantage over other giants in Europe, especially It is against the background of the main reshuffle of the major giants in Serie A.

At Lion King Stadium.

Aldridge, wearing a casual T-shirt today, chatted with Cooper for a while before the game. The official relationship between Millwall and Italian clubs is the Milan duo. There are many high-level exchanges. Last year, Milan was invited to the opening of the stadium. This year, there is a charity cup, and Inter Milan is also willing to join. Communication between clubs will help each other to enhance the brand image of the club. Football is not a one-man show, and a team cannot play well.

The new season is about to start. After this game, five days later, Millwall and Liverpool will meet at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff for a decisive battle against the Charity Shield.

The enthusiasm accumulated by the fans for a summer began to release. The Lion King Stadium was full of seats. As long as Millwall is undefeated in this small friendly cup held in this local game, they can win the championship. Today, Millwall dispatched the whole team The main players started the game, which made the fans who came to watch the game feel that the trip was worthwhile and worth the ticket price.

There is no limit on the number of substitutes in the friendly match, and the new aid Kaka also sat on the bench. After the game started, Aldridge called Kaka to his side and said to him: Concentrate on watching the game and think at the same time. Don't just stare at it. The ball, pay more attention to the movement of players without the ball.

Kaka nodded earnestly, and then watched the game engrossed.

Inter Milan played well in the first two games, and the opponents were actually not strong. Today, facing Millwall, they were suppressed from the very beginning. In addition, Cooper was playing counter-defense, and Millwall entered the game naturally. In the rhythm of the tough battle.

Kaka, maybe you only know that Millwall has won four Intercontinental Cup championships and four league championships in Europe in the past five years. These are honors, but they can't give you an intuitive understanding of Millwall's current and future living conditions. .”

Kaka heard Aldrich's words, thought for a while and hummed.

He has just arrived, and he only has an understanding of Millwall's history and environment, but in terms of professional nature, that is, football, Millwall, the Premier League, and European football are actually a blank concept in his mind.

Since the summer of 1997, more than half of Millwall's opponents in the league will use iron barrels to deal with us. By last season, this has almost become the norm. Especially in the European war, we encountered many first-class players. The team also began to use the iron barrel formation and the ultimate defensive counterattack tactics to deal with us. The technical and tactical reasons on the court are more complicated to say, but it can be summed up in one sentence: Millwall’s offense is too strong.”

Aldrich's voice was soft, but Kaka's heart was ups and downs.

Millwall's destructive attack, the goal of the plum blossom, and the interpretation of the big scene of speed and passion, it is hard not to be excited.

This is the status quo of Millwall's survival. The opponents will do everything possible to limit our advantages, and we must use our advantages and characteristics to the extreme to defeat these opponents. In your eyes, what is Millwall? What about its features and advantages?

Kaka's eyes were still fixed on his teammates who were playing on the court. At this moment, Millwall played a wonderful coordination. Ronaldinho, Henry, and Nedved completed a stunning transformation .

Henry pulls to the side, Ronaldinho moves to the center, and Nedved advances.

This simultaneous movement caused Inter Milan's defensive confusion. The marking did not switch flexibly at the first time, and was confused by Millwall's changing rhythm. Toldo, who was attacking, knocked the ball across the other side, and Larson rushed to push the empty goal and succeeded.

The Lion King Stadium erupted into warm cheers and thunderous applause. Such a goal is beautiful and picturesque.

Kaka felt that his breathing was frozen for two seconds.

He saw that Ronaldinho came to the penalty area when he was free. Thought that Ronaldinho would shoot from a long distance. But Ronaldinho passed to Nedved who was going forward against offside. He thought Nedved would score, but he didn't expect Larson to ambush on the other side, and Nedved could still see and easily assisted his teammate to score.

Millwall's series of unexpected offensive methods are too terrifying. It seems that the audience's brain reaction speed can't keep up. You can't guess the development trajectory of the next second attack. This is a manifestation of strong creativity.

Team chemistry, speed. Team awareness, ball control skills.

Kaka self-analyzed the scene he saw and said it out.

Well, what you said is indeed the characteristics and advantages of Millwall's team. However, there are 11 individual players in the last game. Individual performance will directly affect the entire team. Next, you carefully observe the personal characteristics of your teammates. Play, the role in the team. Although we will have many goals in a season that show the individual abilities of stars, compared to more than 100 goals in the whole season, the proportion is not high, because a team does not It may be possible to rely on the super performance of individual stars to win more than 80% of the games in the whole season.

Aldridge is actually very curious about Kaka, and it is no exaggeration to say that Kaka conquered Aldridge during the two-day team training performance.

This kind of conquest does not come from Kaka's talent. In my impression, Kaka's performance at his peak, it is impossible for him to bring Aldridge the impact of his ball skills in training.

The most important thing is the style of play and the awareness of playing football.

Kaka belongs to Brazilian players, even among South American players.

Mingming grew up in Brazil and received training in Brazil. It is reasonable to say that he should have the nature of a South American player, with a free, romantic and unrestrained style of play.

Even Messi, who came to Millwall at the age of 10, can't get rid of the South American characteristics in his bones, and his improvisation when in possession of the ball is breathtaking.

And the scene when Ronaldinho came to Millwall for the first time is vivid. A typical South American player has nothing to say about his personal technical talent, but his team awareness is very weak.

Kaka, if his nationality is not Brazil, just look at his performance in training, basically he will not doubt that he is a native European player, this is the strange thing.

The style of the game is open and closed. Although it has not yet been sharpened, it has the momentum of an epee without a front. It handles the ball decisively and naturally, and abnormally does not have the flaws of young people eager to express themselves.

He has excellent team awareness and solid basic skills. Instead of practicing hard and putting Ronaldinho and Kaka together, he really wonders how they could be players bred from football soil?

Today, Aldridge started the first course of training Kaka.

The future is still long. Aldridge first needs Kaka to understand the status of the club on the field and the characteristics of the team, and then talk about Kaka personally, because the major premise of shaping a player must be combined with the environment, otherwise Everything is empty talk.

In the second half of the game, Inter Milan's offense did not improve. It is understandable for Cooper to take up the defense first.

Millwall leads the score, but still has to attack on the scene.

In the 57th minute, Ronaldinho controlled the ball from the side, deliberately not rushing out the ball, and after attracting three Inter Milan players to defend, he pulled the ball behind his foot and knocked the ball from behind to the middle. Pirlo, who was plugged in, dribbled the ball forward in the middle, and was not in a hurry to release the ball. At this time, the Inter Milan defense line was eager to make up for the gap, and was involuntarily attracted by Pirlo. De Ved, the latter directly chose to kick the goal diagonally to the goal, Toldo made a brave save, Henry followed up in the middle and succeeded in making a supplementary shot, sending the ball into the goal.

After Aldridge applauded the goal, he turned his head and said to Kaka: In this ball just now, Ronaldinho attracted the opponent with his personal ability. You can see that he did it on purpose by looking at his dribbling rhythm. It is to create space for his teammates. Pirlo did not rush the ball. He did the same thing as Ronaldinho, and then sent a wonderful pass. Every player has different abilities and characteristics. In this team, you not only have to Give full play to your best characteristics, and understand the characteristics of your teammates. Don't try to imitate anyone. You recognize yourself, know what you are best at, and then develop your strengths to be the strongest. This will become your team value. As for how Maximizing your strengths is not something you should think about. It is my job as the head coach. Remember, when all basic abilities are up to standard, you must maximize your own characteristics, otherwise, You don't have any specialties.

Kaka nodded solemnly. The first class Aldridge gave him today will definitely make him unforgettable forever, and it will also have a profound impact on his career development.

In the last 25 minutes, Aldridge directly changed the team. Inter Milan took the opportunity to pull back a goal, but before the end, Villa scored another goal. In the end, with a score of 3:1, Millwall's fourth The warm-up match came to an end.

Millwall began to prepare for the Charity Shield, but at this time, the release of an autobiography caused an uproar in English football. (to be continued...) ()
