The Young Lion

Before leaving London, Beckenbauer was a guest at Aldridge's house. The old and the young had a good chat. When leaving England at the airport, Klinsmann saw him off.

Before leaving, Beckenbauer put his hand on Klinsmann's shoulder and said earnestly: Aldrich is not only a good coach, but also a good boss. He must not be blind to money, otherwise he would sell Too many stars have been lost, but it was Metzelder who was sold, in terms of team building, he should be the most comprehensive person in Millwall's consideration.

Klinsmann nodded with a wry smile, and said: I just think that the most obvious weakness of the first team is the defender. Real Madrid offered Metzelder, and Millwall sold him. Aldridge is just right. I said that I will be given a satisfactory lineup before September, but now it seems that I really don’t know how to make up for the defender.”

Beckenbauer shook his head and continued to persuade: Actually, you understand better than me, because you understand him. When Millwall let Pirlo go, what did he say? Keeping Pirlo is a hidden danger, Pirlo Unhappy, it is tantamount to forcing Lampard and Alonso to find another way out. Now that Pirlo has left, Lampard and Alonso are competing with each other. This kind of healthy competition can promote the team's fighting spirit. Delici's charisma, trust him, he's a fantastic manager in England terms.

Klinsmann watched Beckenbauer walk into the boarding aisle, then turned and walked out of the airport.

Before Aldridge returned to London, the two kept in touch by phone.

It is nothing more than the exchange of team lineup signings.

In terms of player selection, Klinsmann has the right to speak, but he can't insist too much, because the thickness of Millwall's lineup is actually kept within a reasonable range. If he insists on bringing in a world-class or first-class player, it is tantamount to making enemies in the locker room. Players who occupy the main position will definitely feel dissatisfied, thinking that their status is threatened, while substitutes in the same position will survive. The space is even tighter.

When he became the coach, Klinsmann knew that this position was not as beautiful as he imagined. He took every step carefully, as if walking on thin ice, and he had to be cautious and cautious in making any decision.

The striker is well-stocked, and the midfielder thinks that the defensive midfielder can be strengthened. Aldridge recalled Essien from Belgium, but he can't be called a reliable player who can fight. He still needs to hone his skills. Especially Essien is like an outsider. It will definitely take a process to integrate into the team. Familiar with the style of English football also needs a transition.

On the back line, he needs a substitute at the right back. The main force Schneider is a compatriot with him, so he can be trusted. Klinsmann needs a direct line, and the compatriots naturally have a good common position. Of course, he will not touch Schneider. The main force of the team does not even require anyone to compete with Schneider, but such a request is even more difficult.

In addition to Johnson's promotion to the first team,

During the same period, Millwall hired a full-back from Spain, 16-year-old Sergio Ramos. There was a loophole in Spain's player contract. Millwall took advantage of the loophole, but it didn't hurt Sevilla in vain. For the loss, they were given 6 million pounds in compensation, which made Sevilla not have many complaints.

It's just that this signing made Klinsmann dumbfounded. The 16-year-old Ramos is useful?

Not as trustworthy as the 18-year-old Johnson.

But after all, he was the one who was demanding, so he no longer made demands on Aldrich.

I thought that the lineup was stable and I could prepare for the new season with peace of mind. I don’t know why Real Madrid went crazy. Maybe Pavon last season was really a big hole. In addition, Hierro is also about to retire in the new season, and he was bombarded by Millwall with a big score. Real Madrid realized that they needed to strengthen the back line. Florentino had his sights on Metzelder, the runner-up of the World Cup. Originally, he also wanted to buy Ferdinand. , Real Madrid really don't want to compete with Manchester United, it's too fucking expensive!

Metzelder's performance in the World Cup should be very good based on the results, because in 7 games, the German team only conceded 3 goals, and there were 5 games without a clean sheet. They are all average, but Metzelder was born in Millwall, and became the main defender of the World Cup runner-up at the age of 21. Florentino expected that this kid might become a world-class star defender in two years, so he simply started ahead of time, 10 million The transfer fee of sterling is just throwing stones and looking at Millwall's attitude.

Unexpectedly, Millwall really paid back a price: 18 million pounds!

Florentino then called Aldridge and finally finalized the transfer of Metzelder for a transfer fee of 13.5 million pounds.

This transfer caught Klinsmann by surprise and felt incredible.

In his jigsaw puzzle for the new season, Metzelder is the main defender, so he was sold by Aldridge!

What to do?

Barzagli on top?

Then only Neil and Lescott are left on the bench? Or the brazilian kid who just came to town?

Originally, Materazzi transferred and left, Southgate was 32 years old, and the central defender was not considered the top before. The accumulation of various negative factors seems to be a pit!

Klinsmann didn't know how Aldrich planned to fill this hole, but he couldn't complain.

Klinsmann was very moved just because the club canceled the overseas business development in the summer.

Many players in the team have played in the World Cup, and the east wind of the World Cup has caused a football boom all over the world. Millwall’s plan has always been formulated very early. This business development plan comes from Adam’s team. It was originally launched in 2002. In the summer, they wanted to bring the best football in Europe to the United States and develop a commercial market in the United States. As a result, Aldridge canceled this plan with one word.

It is nothing more than giving Klinsmann a sufficient and quiet space to prepare for the game. The players themselves have not had much rest after returning from the World Cup, and then they will play commercial games. Aldridge has experience and knows that this will bury the team. When I take office, it’s better to be quiet than to be active. Honestly, I will play a few warm-up matches in London and wait for the opening of the new season.

After being knighted, Aldrich stayed at home to enjoy the comfort of the holiday.

In the early morning of August, he closed his eyes and put his face on Ivan's swollen belly with a smile on his face. Ivan had a strange smile on his face and asked, Did you hear that?

Well, I seem to have heard it, but I don't seem to have it. Don't talk, be quiet, be quiet.

Yiwen stretched out his hand to stroke Aldrich's hair, and didn't look at him at all. He closed his eyes, but the smile on his face persisted for a long time.

Aldrich listened for a while, wanting to hear the voice of the fetus. In fact, he was not sure if he heard something, but he just felt that his mentality was very subtle, which made him very happy.

Yiwen suddenly felt itchy stomach, opened his eyes and found that Aldrich was whispering to her stomach while covering his mouth...

She said dumbfoundedly: What are you doing?

I'm telling the child, let him settle down, don't be mischievous, or I will smash his little ass after he is born!

Sir Aldrich Hall, you may be able to command the wind and rain on the football field, but for the little guy in my stomach, I will definitely not listen to you.

Aldrich was about to refute when the phone rang, and he answered with a smile, Hi, Jansen, how are you?

Damn, you gave me all the work, how do you say I'm doing recently?

The work of the national team is very easy.

I'm not kidding you. A new young coach has been hired by me, but he must visit you. He should be your fan.

Heh, I have a lot of fans. If he wants to see me, I'm going to be a teacher today. Let him attend the class. Maybe he will resign immediately after listening to my class.

Oh, okay, I'll pass it on to him.

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge lay back on the bed again, and Ivan turned to touch his cheek with his hair, and said, If you don't get up, you will be late for the first day of class, okay?

Aldridge turned around and hugged her delicate body, and ramped on her with his head for a moment, then jumped up from the bed and said, If you don't do something serious, you may really be corrupted from now on. .”

Although he no longer serves as the head coach of Millwall, Aldridge found himself a leisurely job, which can be regarded as maintaining his state, so as not to enter the state of enjoying himself and waiting to die.

Half an hour later, Yiwen adjusted the suit and tie for Aldridge in front of the mirror in the bedroom as usual, looked him up and down, nodded and said: Well, Sir, you have regained your elegant image.

Aldrich kissed her wetly, and didn't let her go until she was out of breath, and said with a smile, Go on to sleep, I'll be back at noon, and then I'll pick up Bertear from Arthur, and we'll have lunch at noon .”

Huh? What Chinese food?

Beth Earl likes hot pot in China.

Yiwen smiled slightly and said, Okay.

After watching Aldridge drive away, she really went back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

Inside the Millwall youth training base, there is naturally their youth academy building. Today, more than 30 young coaches have gathered here, some of them are local coaches of the Millwall club, and some are from the Millwall youth academy all over Europe. For those who came, there were relatively few places in other places, only one or two, which made many young coaches from foreign academies overwhelmed. Even the coaches in the local youth training base felt that there were not enough places.

The young marshal, who is famous all over the world, will start a coach training course with two lessons per week for 3 months internally. How can they not be excited?

When Aldrich in a suit and leather shoes walked into the classroom, the 33 young coaches present stood up collectively and shouted excitedly: Sir Aldrich Hall, good morning!

Aldridge was taken aback, but he just waved his hands and said, Good morning, I don't like being called by others. I usually call me Aldrich when we communicate. After all, we are all from Millwall.

Aldridge really felt like he had walked into a wolf's den, looking at the thirty pairs of shining eyes below, it seemed as if he was going to swallow him alive!

Especially the young man in the first row, Jamie Brown, was blushing with excitement, and really wondered if his face would explode...r1152 ()
