The Young Lion

Before Aldridge became the coach of the England national team, England fans supported him to take over the national team. According to the data from the media survey, more than 93% of England fans supported Aldridge as the national team.

However, in the selection of the most popular coach in the same period, Aldridge only ranked second. The first place was Bobby Robson. The gap between the two was also relatively large. Only 18%.

There is a big difference between the two selections.

Supporting Aldridge to coach the national team, in the eyes of local fans, this is the best choice, and has nothing to do with Aldridge's popularity.

Just like when Florentino entered Real Madrid for the second time, in fact, many Real Madrid members did not like him, but under the circumstances at that time, Florentino was the best choice for the members, even if they were rejected by Florent Tino was hurt by the superstar policy in the first issue.

There are many reasons why British fans don't like Aldridge. For example, the highest proportion of local fans must be the traditional big three plus Millwall, and those old-fashioned teams. Aldridge led Millwall and caused them countless injuries. Even if it is not the relationship between the biggest competitor and the deadly enemy, the Liverpool fans who are not up to date can't forget that Aldridge has ravaged their beloved team time and time again at Anfield.

Those who like Aldridge are mostly neutral fans, and those fans of teams who have no competition with Millwall at all. In the hearts of fans of many small clubs, they actually hope that their clubs can also have an Aldridge , leading their small team to rise in England like the Wild Lions.

As Aldridge led the national team's record to rise all the way, the world preliminaries climbed from the penultimate ladder to the top of the group, and the goal difference changed from negative to 20! It was the first time in an official game that he defeated the German team in Germany. After the Anglo-German war, Aldrich's popularity soared again!

Many wealthy fans have also begun to like him. This kind of love transcends the hatred between clubs and puts aside a certain level of influence.

Just like when Pele's thousand-goal record was at the critical point, his opponent fans would also cheer for Pele in the stands. Even when one's own players destroyed Pele's goal, fans would turn against the players who supported the team.

To put it mildly, this is a sublimation of affection.

To be realistic, it is to be subdued by the strong.

Advocating the mentality of the strong. It is the unchanging law of human beings, or nature.

When Aldridge attended the post-match press conference, the reporters of the German media were as black as carbon.

all in one color,

Today's football news in the German media is all about mocking the England manager and yesterday's farce on Fleet Street.

It is far-fetched to use internal strife to interpret, and by the way, it will also promote the power of German football.

It's not that they are shameless, it's what the coach said!

The Anglo-German war ended, and the German media was completely dumbfounded.

For a while I didn't know what to do with myself.

Fleet Street was ecstatic. When Aldridge appeared at the press conference, many British journalists applauded directly.

Mr. Hall, yesterday you said that German football is very strong. There is a gap between English football and German football. Are those remarks a kind of psychological warfare? Let the German team underestimate the enemy? Smoke bombs? Confused the opponent?

As soon as Aldrich sat down, the reporter from Fleet Street asked questions with a smile.

These Fleet Street reporters smiled and spoke between words. The expressions on their eyebrows were no longer as serious as they were when they confronted Aldrich yesterday. On the contrary, they thought they had been tricked!

But happy to be tricked by Aldrich!

Bad boy, yesterday was acting, right?

They had forgotten that Aldridge would always use psychological warfare when coaching Millwall. They thought that this kid had restrained himself as the national team coach, but they didn't expect that the time had not come.

In the eyes of the reporters. Everything Aldrich said yesterday was for the sake of victory, to make the Germans underestimate the enemy, to make the Germans take the initiative to attack at home with the pride of the strong, and then England cleaned up the German team.

Aldridge laughed dumbfounded when he heard the reporter's question.

He shook his head. He said sincerely: What I said yesterday is my true opinion. Even if you ask me now, I will still say that German football is stronger.

England just beat Germany 6-0 away!

If football is about winning, what's the fun in the game?

Then where is the strength of the German team?

Will and determination, the German Football Association has made a plan for the future development of the German team. From the reconstruction of the Bayern Munich youth training system to the long-term construction of the entire German football, I think this is the reason why the German team can last for a long time in the world football.

What you said is too far from reality.

Is it far? I don't think so. On the contrary, the media always pay attention to the present, but ignore the long-term. When the Millwall youth team has Ronaldinho, Alonso, Villa and other players, you guys Never paid attention to it, I think it's funny when one day they burst out on the pitch and you ask why Millwall is successful. As far as I know, it's just Bayern Munich's youth team that has a new team A group of very good young players are receiving training, and England’s long-term construction foundation has lagged behind Germany’s. The emergence of talents and living space are also far behind Germany. England won today, but in terms of football strength in all aspects, England is still not as good as Germany .”

Mr. Hall, don't you think your statement is contradictory?

Contradiction? No, it's because you interpreted the victory too one-sidedly. Millwall lost to Everton last season and was unbeaten. Then what? No one would say that Everton is stronger than Millwall Football is not a sport that lives in the past, and football is not a sport that can be summed up by winning or losing. If the England team thinks that Germany has won six goals today, our strength will leave Germany far behind. It is naive and ridiculous. If we want to improve, we must first recognize ourselves all the time and know our own position. When it comes to the game itself, the German team is not the strongest lineup today. The German team was successfully limited by us today. We played beyond the level Strength, because the England team is more eager to win than the German team. Just today, in the 90 minutes of this game, we showed determination and will. We must be stronger than the opponent, so we must recognize reality. This hunger. Keeping this fighting spirit, team spirit, not allowing yourself to slack off, putting all your attention on football, we can succeed, but it takes a lot of work, it's not easy to do of.

Fleet Street reporters are depressed again!

Young commander-in-chief, you are going to die if you are so fucking crazy!

Just here to humiliate the German team will die!

Journalists, want breaking news.

What's more, after this game, the fans in England must be excited and excited. Who wants to consume their newspapers and open them: Aldridge thinks there is still a gap between England and Germany.

Journalists are reluctant to write articles that discourage enthusiasm.

The Germans, known for their rigor, respect Aldrich in awe.

And there is real fear in my heart.

In a football field, it is normal to win or lose. What will happen in 90 minutes? Does strength determine everything? Certainly not.

Even if the German team wins. The German media will still find out the problems exposed by the German team during the game and criticize them. What is the purpose? Sensational? No, of course it is for the German team to keep improving!

The England team won a big victory today and the German team was bloodbathed away. If Aldrich humiliated the German team defiantly after the game, the German media would also attack him as if to vent their anger. But there will always be the idea of ​​​​looking down on the England team in my heart.

After winning a game, he was blinded by the victory. What is there to fear from such an opponent?

But Aldridge was extremely calm, and in his speech he affirmed the performance of the England players and pointed out the factors of success. Encouragement, and at the same time implicit warning, is to keep England from getting carried away.

On a deeper level, it also points out the nature of the gap between English football and German football.

Can such an opponent not be feared?

I won you today. It's nothing, how to build an advantage in the long run, that's the point.

Fortunately, Aldridge is not the head of the FA, nor can he change the deformed structure of the English league. He has vision, but cannot put it into practice. The Premier League is not under the control of the FA, Aldridge said Those are just empty talk.

German media reporters found it ridiculous.

Before the game, the England coach had infighting with Fleet Street. After the game, the two sides broke up again.

The English are so wonderful!

Came to the territory of Germany, and both on and off the field grabbed the show and became the leading role.

When flying back to London, Aldridge sat alone at the back of the cabin. The excitement of the players was clear at a glance, and he didn't say anything. Anyway, his post-match remarks will be published in the newspapers tomorrow, and these will definitely be seen by the players.

He had to restrain the team's emotions and had to warn the players in a restrained manner.

This wave of five consecutive victories may be nothing for the top teams, but if it is for England, it may cause the consequences of players' overconfidence and self-inflation.

Because this is a team with an immature mentality.

In the original history, the England team beat Germany 5:1 in an away game. A month later, Greece led 2:1 before the last minute at home. With Beckham's shocking kick, he turned the tide and placed in the top 90% of the other teams. For a strong team, a tie means qualifying. Who would play the game like that at home? And the previous game was against the backdrop of a bloodbath in an away game!

It's not a question of strength, it's not a question of skills and tactics, it's a question of psychology, a question of spiritual temperament.

Somewhat similar to Aldridge's second year of coaching Millwall, the team may get carried away when the momentum is like a rainbow, thinking that they are crazy, and God can't stop them. In fact, when the opponent is calmer and more cautious When it is against you, you will be poured a basin of cold water all over your body.

This is a critical stage. Whether the team can be shaped into a strong spirit, combined with the current tactical system implemented by the England team, will have a great impact on next year's World Cup.

Aldridge closed his eyes and rested his mind. He won two of the three decisive battles. The situation in England was reversed. In the last decisive battle, he had the upper hand. As long as he did not make mistakes, it would not be a problem to qualify for the top of the group.

Looking on the bright side, at least after defeating Germany, his authority in the England team reached the peak of full value, and the players were convinced by him. This is much better than when he was quite helpless in Millwall.

The World Cup is exciting. ()
