The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

April 17, 2003.

This morning, Aldridge drove his two sons to Leo's training base. The training base is very large, and there is a clear distance between the youth team and the first team. Therefore, Aldridge's arrival was not ignored by the first team. perceived by the players.

He first took his two sons to the youth team, handed Bert and Earl to senior brother Najib, and left without saying a word.

Just treat them as ordinary kids who come here to train, don't take it seriously, maybe they are just a temporary interest.

On this day, Aldridge's two sons officially entered the Millwall youth training system to receive training. They were treated the same as many children who came here, without a separate coach or special guidance.

 …

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Millwall's official website released the latest news. The head coach Klinsmann was fired by the club. Millwall thanked Klinsmann for his coaching efforts from July last year to mid-April this year. Three championship trophies, Community Shield, European Super Cup, Toyota Cup, and wish Klinsmann good luck in the future.

At the same time, it was announced that the former coach Aldridge returned to the position of head coach for an undetermined term.

Millwall did not hold a press conference, but the official website must be followed by major media on Fleet Street all the time. As soon as this news was released, it caused a huge wave!

Forget about the SARS virus! The most sensational news is here: Sir Hall returns to the head of the Wild Lion!

The situation of the Premier League championship has reversed! The five rounds are 4 points away. What is impossible for the Lions to defend their title?

Manchester United, Arsenal. Tremble!

The return of the king! The mad lion's return to the top is just around the corner!

 …

One stone caused a lot of waves, just lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford, many Millwall fans in East London were depressed, but when they suddenly heard the explosive news, they immediately sought confirmation from various sources until they opened Millwall in front of the computer. Wall's official website confirmed the authenticity of the news, and fans rushed out of the house immediately. Leaving bars and even sneaking away from work.

Countless Wild Lions fans came to the outside of Leo's training base.

The banners were pulled up, the ballads were sung, Aldrich's name was called, and his return was warmly welcomed. The event was unprecedented.

At the training ground, all the players of the Millwall team trained seriously, and that hard-working attitude fell into the eyes of the coaching staff, and I really felt a new look.

And they take it for granted.

Aldridge, even if he didn't show up in person, is enough to have such magical power.

Stella Marjoni received a call from Jenson when he just woke up in the morning, asking if he was interested in taking a part-time job. When it was clear that he was going to the Millwall coaching staff, he replied without saying a word: I can't ask for it!

Really came to the training base in Millwall. He lamented the huge scale of the training base, and felt excited when he saw football superstars one after another. What shocked him most was the crowd gathered in the training base.

Those people are excited and happy. It's as if life has turned upside down.

This is personal influence.

Also the charm of Aldridge.

Stella Maggioni was so envious that he forgot to ask Jenson what kind of work he should do.

Jenson is very busy. Although he has returned to Millwall, he still needs to re-understand the internal situation of the team, especially the training content. How does the work system work.

And Boas is even more busy, he wants to sort out the club's internal statistics of the team's player performance this season in the shortest possible time. It is also necessary to compare the comprehensive performance statistics of the past few seasons to bring this scientific data to Aldrich who is sitting in the office.

Returning to the Wild Lions this time, Aldridge's work status and thinking are completely different from when he took over in 1994.

He does not need to do everything by himself, he will find many reliable helpers, decentralize power, and distribute the work that he used to do alone to the assistants, making his work easier, and then spending more time with his family.

Even for work like studying opponents, he will not waste his time and energy on doing it himself. He will pass on his methods and experience to Stella Maggioni, and let this handsome Italian guy do it. He only needs to grasp the overall situation You can.

On the training field, the players became absent-minded after training hard for a period of time. They were all looking forward to seeing Aldridge, but the young coach never showed up.

At 11:30 in the morning, before the end of the training, Boas returned to the side of the training field, whispered a few words to Jansen and handed him a stack of documents. Jansen nodded with a serious expression.

Then he beckoned and called the team together.

When all the first team players stood in front of him, Jenson said solemnly, Joe Cole.

Joe Cole was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand to signal that he heard it.

From the afternoon, you can go to the reserve team for training, or you can not come to training, you can inform your agent, the club will let you transfer and leave during the transfer period this summer.

a bolt from the blue!

All the players in the first team stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.

They felt that the young marshal would definitely rectify discipline when he came back. It was not that Klinsmann was lax in governing the army, but that Klinsmann had been under the pressure of public opinion on Fleet Street, and he looked a bit insecure. How could he offend players again?

After the young marshal returned, he didn't meet with the players to reminisce about the old days, and directly swung the butcher's knife!

The first knife fell, and it was the English genius Joe Cole who had been called for n years!

The whole team was present, Joe Cole was in disbelief, and lost his voice: Impossible! How could the boss give up on me?

give up?

That's right, he hasn't really made a name for himself in Millwall, and if he leaves now, he will be given up!

Without changing his face, Janson said coldly: Sir Hall's original words are: you have more energy to fight with others outside, the club will not make it difficult for you, you go.

Joe Cole's professional blunders over the years are not. It is well-known to be indiscreet in private life, grabbing a parking space with others will be violent, and it is not the first time to fight for a third-version girl. From time to time, a bruised nose and a swollen face will make headlines and be ridiculed, which will more or less affect Millwall's reputation.

Dogs can't stop eating shit, and Aldrich is not interested in educating others. He used to be fined and warned, but now, he doesn't have the patience.

genius?

There is certainly talent that Millwall can't buy, but not much.

Joe Cole yelled unwillingly: Aren't I the only one like this? He, he, he. He, doesn't everyone have scandals outside? Why don't you give me a chance?

Joe Cole points to Ronaldinho, Lampard and Ashley Cole. Even, there is Ronaldo.

Now, it's a bit outrageous.

Jenson stepped forward, put his hand on Joe Cole's shoulder, and said lightly, If you stay here, you have no future. The reality before you is that you have a chance only if you leave.

Joe Cole's expression changed. Gritting his teeth and still not reconciled, leaving like this is like a bereaved dog.

He was even more dissatisfied. When he came to Millwall, what was Millwall? What is he?

In the past three years, he has rejected the temptation of Manchester United and the olive branch of Arsenal. He did not expect to end up like this in Millwall!

But he still listened to what Jenson said.

That's right. If he stays at Millwall again, it really doesn't look like he has any chance.

as an offensive player. The competition within the Millwall team is extremely cruel, not to mention that the older generation still has good combat power, and in the competition among the new generation, he will not have any upper hand. If he continues to stay in Millwall, I am afraid it will be a waste of time. up.

Joe Cole left with resentment and humiliation, and did not utter any bitter curses or angry words. The reality before him was: leave Millwall, where to go?

After Joe Cole left, there was silence on the training field. The players didn't have the panic similar to the death of the rabbit, but were more shocked.

Because they looked at Joe Cole's back, as if they could clearly see that a person's fate was changed in such an understatement.

Lampard.

When Jenson called out Lampard's name, Lampard's whole body fell into an ice cellar, and he cast incredible gazes around him.

Could it be that the boss's second knife will be cut on his body?

Lampard forced himself to calm down and raised his hand.

Jansen took out a document from the stack in his hand and handed it out. Lampard came out to catch it. He looked down and saw a written notice on top.

A warning from the team plus a fine of two weeks' salary.

Below the written notice, there is a stack of news content about all the negative reports of Lampard off the pitch this season, all of which are facts, not speculation, because Lampard is included in those news content, not made up .

Lampard exhaled, and suddenly realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.

He returned to the team with the documents, only to be fined. Compared with Joe Cole, he was much luckier.

It's not that Aldridge has double standards. It's true that Joe Cole's off-court disputes are even worse, and Lampard is just a playboy scandal who appeared in a nightclub carnival at an inopportune time.

Ronaldinho, Ashley Cole, Johnson, Ronaldo, these four also received the penalty notice one after another, only Ronaldinho took the file with a smile.

Finally, Jenson pronounced Southgate's name with a slightly heavy tone.

This made all the players in the team think that Southgate, who has no right and wrong outside the field, should be punished?

Southgate came out, and Jenson didn't have any documents in his hands. He just asked, Sir Hall asked you to fine you two weeks' salary. Are you dissatisfied?

Southgate shook his head and said, Obey the boss's decision.

He understood in his heart why Aldridge punished him in front of the whole team, because he did not play the role of captain!

This season, Southgate also fell into a dilemma. He couldn't ignore Larsson's abandonment, and he had a psychological resistance to Klinsmann, but he didn't explode. In terms of standpoint, he chose to do nothing. He neither warned these England players to restrain their off-court behavior, nor did he stand up when the team's cohesion declined.

For him, if the whole team is gathered to cater to Klinsmann, wouldn't it be a deeper betrayal of Larsson?

How many players came to the team in the summer of 1994? 22 people!

Everyone who left, Southgate remembered, back and forth, a total of 17 people left!

Who is left?

He, Larsson, Nedved, Schneider, Bout.

5 people, only 5 people!

Ask him a hundred times, between Klinsmann and Larsson, who he chooses to support, and he will answer the same answer a hundred times: Larsson!

Iron-clad soldiers, a team, can fight side by side, from penniless to glorious together, how can we ignore the love of the past ten years?

If this situation were placed on other teams, the captain would have risen up and started a revolution long ago!

Jenson disbanded the team after making the last penalty call.

Ronaldinho came up and licked his face and asked, Where is the boss? I'll treat him to lunch.

Jansen laughed and said, I advise you not to invite him, but to scold you, just wait, wait for him to finish training you in the afternoon, and then invite him to dinner.

With a puzzled look on his face, Ronaldinho raised the document in his hand and said, Isn't this all a fine? What else is there to discipline?

Heh, in the past few months, do you think your performance can satisfy your boss?

Oh, that's not...

What? Looking for an excuse?

Forget it, I'd better wait for the afternoon to be lectured by him.

Stella Marcioni looked at Jenson adoringly from the side. He originally thought that the assistant coach would not have much authority in the team, but he could feel that these players treated Jenson from the bottom of their hearts. Respect.

After all, Jenson also came to the club in the summer of 1994 and has been working hard for the first team. He deserves this respect. (to be continued) ()
