The Young Lion

At the beginning of the second half, the referee made a controversial decision. Through slow motion, we saw Millwall and Blackburn players turning around in the penalty area to grab the ball, but the Blackburn players were more like themselves. Accidentally kicked Materazzi's foot and fell to the ground, the referee gave Millwall a foul in the box and awarded Blackburn a penalty.

Players on both sides put pressure on the referee while protesting to the referee.

Materazzi walked up to the striker with the ball in his arms, not looking for faults, but asked calmly, Did I foul?

Well, you fouled!

The opponent nodded without changing his expression, anyway, he fell down, and the referee awarded a penalty.

Materazzi took two steps back and looked at the referee with his hands on his hips. This kind of protest will certainly not be able to change the referee's penalty, unless the striker went to the referee to explain, as Nedved did before. penalty, but last time, even if Nedved asked the referee to explain, he still did not change the result of the penalty, but he took the initiative to kick the penalty back to the opponent and won numerous praises for Nedved. This is a kind of player temperament Sublimation, let people see his personality charm.

At other times, Materazzi would definitely rush to find the referee. With a clear head, it is impossible to change the penalty, but he must put pressure on the referee. It is impossible to change the penalty this time, but it must prevent the next time.

Now Southgate is taking the lead and other players to do this kind of work, so he will not pass it, so as not to be shown a yellow card again.

Aldridge was too far away, and couldn't see clearly what happened at that moment. Maybe the entanglement between Materazzi and the opponent was seen by the referee. Anyway, don't watch the video playback for this kind of thing. Can't tell at all.

but. As the coach, he still stood up and walked towards the fourth official. What he had to do was also very simple, protesting and exerting pressure.

Seeing Aldridge walking towards the fourth official, Souness also walked there. Does he know that Aldridge has great potential in England now, and influencing the referee is a manifestation. For example, at Millwall's home court, the customary home whistle is more obvious. The referee's standard for fouls is very strict. This is actually protecting Millwall. If Millwall is a football known for its rough style team, then the referee's standard for foul scale will be relaxed.

Souness wants to stop Aldridge from influencing the referee team.

Aldridge had just greeted the fourth official, and the other party was also ready to communicate with Aldrich with a serious face, changing other coaches, the fourth official ignored him. But Aldridge came over, and now no English referee would ignore it. After all, it can't be said that it will affect the future. Those referees who have made Millwall suffer in terms of penalties,

Anyway, it's all unsatisfactory.

It was a penalty! A clear penalty! No doubts.

This sentence was not said to Aldridge by the fourth official, because the fourth official would not say such a thing.

It was Souness, he didn't come to find Aldrich to cause conflicts, so when he spoke, his tone was calm and slightly weak.

Aldrich saw the nearly fifty-year-old coach say this firmly to himself, and for some reason, he wanted to laugh in his heart.

Penalty kick? Are you sure? My player fouled?

Well, I'm sure, he fouled.

What act did he commit the foul on? Can you describe it?

He fouled, it was a penalty.

Souness was at a loss for words. He was farther away from the incident than Aldrich, and it was absolutely impossible for him to see more clearly than Aldrich.

Even Aldrich is not sure about the details, where does Souness get his confidence?

But after a few words, Aldridge knew that the other party didn't care about black and white, as long as the result was the result.

He didn't say anything more, turned his head and walked back.

What he needs to express has been fully expressed in the conversation with Souness. As long as the fourth official is not a fool, he will understand.

Blackburn's coach couldn't tell the specific details of the foul. He could only insist that it was a penalty. The referee team didn't need to give an explanation, but if it became the focus after the game, it might cause big waves.

Aldridge's mentality is still very peaceful. After so many years of coaching, he is more and more able to accept a sentence: Misjudgment is part of football.

In more than 60 or 70 games a year, it is impossible for every penalty to be accurate. The level of the referee varies. This is the reality, but some penalties are serious, and some seem insignificant. A penalty kick can directly rewrite the score, but sometimes a misjudgment of a sideline kick, a direct free kick, or an indirect free kick may also have a direct impact on the score. Influence, and then affect reason.

Aldridge felt that he should be more mature, because he would consider others and stand in the position of the referee. It was impossible for him to watch the slow-motion replays from different angles over and over again like the audience in front of the TV.

For example, the offensive player and the defensive player both tear each other's jerseys, but the referee only saw the defensive player's action because of the angle, and then punished the defensive team for a foul. The fouled team must feel wronged and think it was a misjudgment. But you can't ask the referee's eyes to focus on the center of the event from all 360-degree angles.

Maybe the referee just now thought that Materazzi tripped the opponent's striker with a covert movement when he turned around. Aldridge didn't care what the truth was. , are two different things.

Now it may be a misjudgment, maybe not, maybe Materazzi really made a foul, and Aldridge has to wait until after the game to watch the video to be sure.

If it is a black whistle, Millwall may not have a chance to score at all, because the referee still controlled Blackburn's foul action very well. So far, three yellow cards have been shown in the game, all of which were given to Blackburn.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines and witnessed Blackburn's penalty kick and the score was rewritten. Souness cheered for a few seconds not far away, and then cheered for the players, striving for another goal to equalize the score.

Aldridge turned around and walked to the bench, without having to look at the players on the bench one by one, he came directly in front of Ronaldo, and said lightly, Go warm up.

C Luo moved like a rabbit, and rushed out to start doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines.

Souness was taken aback by Aldridge's move to call the substitutes to warm up.

I thought the young marshal was about to enlarge his move by ordering troops!

Henry? Ronaldinho? Nedved? Larson?

Who will be there?

Souness felt it was a false alarm until he saw that it was Ronaldo rushing out to warm up.

That 17-year-old kid?

Well, Ronaldo turned 17 last month, and the club gave him a new contract, with his salary doubled from last year, after all, he was promoted from the reserve team to the first team.

Souness calmed down for a while, and stopped thinking about it, and concentrated on directing the team to go all out to equalize the score on the sidelines. As long as Millwall didn't send those superstars who almost had their own power to rewrite the score against Blackburn, he thought Still have some confidence.

If Millwall really does its best, Blackburn can really only despair.

I didn't study it carefully before the start of the game. Looking at it now, Millwall's substitute list today is really strange. Seven substitutes, one goalkeeper, one defensive player Lucas Neil, and the remaining five players are all offensive players! Contrary to our expectations, the player who is seriously doing warm-up activities on the sidelines is actually the least famous player here, Cristiano Ronaldo, a 17-year-old boy genius.

In fact, Aldridge's substitute list today is very bad. As a coach, he should be unqualified, but he just did it.

A goalkeeper is always available.

Neal is a defensive jack-of-all-trades, unless two defensive players have problems, it will be difficult to choose.

Originally Millwall was weaker today because of its offense, so there is a group of offensive players sitting on the bench, the main players with stronger abilities, this is understandable, but Ronaldo is also placed on the bench alone, it can be seen that Aldridge has a strong attitude towards this Portuguese kid valued.

When Ronaldo finished warming up, Aldridge waved to him. Ronaldo thought he would play soon, but Aldridge put his arms around his neck and asked softly with his finger on the field: Do you know what to do?

Ronaldo nodded immediately, then shook his head immediately, and said in a muffled voice: Boss, you didn't say who I'll replace you on stage.

Hahaha, yes, let me tell you, I will replace Lamor, not to punish him, not to perform badly, he has two assists, and his performance satisfies me, but I want him to save his energy, the following schedule , need him to contribute more to the team.”

Well, he's doing well, take him off, I'm going up, I know what I have to do, score! Left forward, leave it to me, no problem!

Aldridge felt a little helpless towards Ronaldo, the kid's overconfidence sometimes gave the coach a headache.

Do you think, I'm going to put you on, and then you can play as you please? Do you know what Blackburn is thinking on the pitch?

Uh, don't know. Looks like it's defending, and then clears with a big foot. Take your luck.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a little sluggish. He has an illusion that he can be coached by Aldridge alone. This is an opportunity that many players in the team are eager to get, but this kind of coaching must be combined with the game. If there is no proper timing, it is just empty Preaching is pointless.

But in such an opportunity that others envy, Ronaldo always feels that he seems to be getting worse and worse, because Aldridge is always raising the height of outstanding players. He thinks that he has passed, and Aldridge will immediately be The blow, he thought he was good, and Aldridge would make him feel that he was still young.

At the age of 17, his heart is higher than the sky. While Aldridge encourages and cultivates him, he keeps suppressing him mentally.

However, he also knows that being able to receive guidance on the spot with Aldrich will be of great help to his growth and improvement. This is far more effective than 10 training sessions or 100 training sessions, because the memory of the actual combat will be more impressive. , and the experience is deeper. (to be continued...) ()
