The Young Lion

Last year, Klinsmann was left with a huge, even slightly crowded lineup. In addition to the idea of ​​planning for a rainy day, it also avoided the embarrassing situation that Klinsmann would be stretched.

Based on Aldrich’s philosophy of leading the team in the past, soldiers are more expensive than elites. It is impossible to have 30 people last year, and this year it will still be 30 people. In the future, it will always be 30 people, and it must be reduced.

The departure of some people is not unexpected, and the final roster can be maintained at about 25 people. It is enough to ensure stability, and secondly, the head coach himself has no choice but to be firm in the use of players! Avoid situations where there are swings among several players.

Klose's departure was not beyond Aldrich's expectations, but it was a year earlier than he had planned.

Because at the end of this year, Villa will be 22 years old.

Villa must be given more opportunities.

The Spanish kid who was brought to Millwall by Aldridge at the age of 14 has always been placed high hopes by Aldridge, but he originally planned to let Villa hone in multiple positions this season. There is no rush to shape him early, just like Henry in the early days, who was born as a winger, and can adapt to a more free and open offensive system for the combination of side and center with a wide range of activities.

But now that Klose has proposed to leave, Villa will play a more important role in the new season.

In the past, he was the younger brother protected by his big brothers, who could make mistakes, and occasionally squander opportunities. fighting spirit.

European football is changing.

Abramovich's entry into Chelsea opened the prelude to the Jinyuan era.

The competition in football in the future will be more brutal. The stronger the strong, the stronger the concentration of geniuses being monopolized.

Therefore, if a team wants to be the overlord again, the requirements for the team will be higher.

Like Nedved and Larsson, even if they are in good condition, Aldridge believes that after two years, they will have to retreat to the second line. Among them, Southgate and Larsson have already played more games this season. At the beginning, they were cut, on the one hand, to move the position for the newcomers, and on the other hand, to better prolong their career life, their valuable experience and spiritual symbol, so that even if they sit on the bench, as long as they are with the team, they are worth a fortune. Precious wealth, rare power.

Millwall has just finalized the transfer agreement with Sporting Lisbon, and officially announced the joining of Moutinho and Veloso.

Millwall was jeered at by Fleet Street,

Some people even think that Millwall is competing with Chelsea for financial resources.

After signing two midfielders, Aldridge announced the addition of a coach.

The French international Blank retired last season, and the Millwall coaching staff recruited new ones, so he came to apply and won a new contract. After Millwall's coaching staff left Klinsmann last season, new people joined it.

Compared with the team in 2002, there is obviously one more person in the Millwall coaching staff, and Aldridge just wants to reduce his tasks.

Like in the past, Klinsmann and Jenson are both assistant coaches. Now Jenson has a greater responsibility. The addition of Stella Marjoni and Blanc will make the work of the coaching staff more planned. Meticulous, Aldridge only focuses on the general direction, leaving the details to the coaching staff.

The 18-year-old Ronaldo seems to be the leading brother, leading Moutinho and Veloso to the top of the team, introducing every teammate to them. He has a sense of ownership. He is also a fellow in Portugal and has dyed hair. Ronaldo, who started wearing earrings, even hoped that Aldridge would bring some Portuguese players.

For example, Ronaldo, who was the main force of U17, highly praised a teammate who was more famous than him in the team at the time, and hoped that Aldridge would buy him into the team.

After all, he and that teammate brought back the European Youth Championship for Portugal U17.

It's just that after Aldridge heard the name of the player recommended by Ronaldo, he asked Ronaldo: I bought him, and you compete with him?

Ronaldo immediately shut up and stopped talking about it.

Ronaldo himself knows how cruel the competition in the Millwall team is.

In fact, there is only one position he can stare at now, and that is Larson's right winger. At the same time, Robben, the Dutch Peter Pan, has already competed with him. Anyway, on the other side, Ronaldinho's position is unoccupied. able to shake.

And his teammate is also a winger.

It's called Quaresma.

Recently, he is a popular man in the transfer market and is being contested by Manchester United and Barcelona.

In the end, it was taken away by Barcelona for almost 4.5 million pounds.

Through this transfer, we also know how much impact Abramovich has had on the European football transfer market after taking over Chelsea.

Quaresma's reputation is definitely greater than that of Bridge and Johnson, and even, he is only a little smaller than Duff.

However, Barcelona bought Quaresma for less than 5 million pounds, while Chelsea bought none of the players for less than 5 million pounds.

It is also understandable why Millwall spent £15 million to buy the Sporting Lisbon midfielder's youth training twins to be laughed at.

This is a chain reaction. If there is no Abramovich in charge of Chelsea, Millwall may be able to take away the two at a price of less than 10 million pounds.

But in the final analysis, this is a deal that one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer. Manchester United does not want to be slaughtered, and Barcelona does not want to be slaughtered. The outside world thinks that Millwall was slaughtered, but Aldridge doesn't think so.

In his eyes, it is a matter of value or not.

Just like Quaresma's 4.5 million pounds, he still thinks it's expensive, but he doesn't even want it, it's a burden.

Aldridge didn't do anything to find a next home for Klose, but left it to Andrew. As Klose's agent, he naturally had to worry about it.

Except for some players who have been cleared by the club or lack suitors, the club will take the initiative to list other players, basically they will not be listed. When looking for a buyer, an agent will act as an intermediary to contact all parties. Players, the market scope is actually not large.

Just like Lampard, there are only a few clubs he can afford and the clubs he is willing to go to.

As the current main striker of the German team, Klose is the runner-up in the World Cup. In addition, he has been a stable substitute in the past few years at Millwall. Last season, the stable main player handed over the report card of 19 goals in 34 league appearances. It cannot be said that he is hot. But there is no shortage of buyer interest in him.

But after combining various factors, Andrew respects Klose's personal choice, and the little carpenter wants to return to Germany for development.

Then there must be one or two teams in Germany that he can choose from.

The first one must be Bayern Munich.

Andrew was only in contact with Bayern Munich manager Hoeness in the first year and showed great interest in convenience.

Originally, Bayern Munich was considering the introduction of a striker this summer, and the Dutchman Ma Kai fell in love with him. Now that they have the choice of Klose, a German player, they are willing to look at the asking price of Millwall.

In Bayern Munich, Hoeness is definitely an important figure, it is difficult to describe, to borrow Beckenbauer's words: Bayern Munich can do without me, but can not do without Hoeness.

Hoeness is credited with bringing Bayern Munich back from the brink of bankruptcy and into the Bundesliga's most successful club.

Clubs like Bayern Munich follow a pragmatic and low-key approach. Every transaction is carefully calculated. The success of the club must be closely related to the Big Three that fans talk about. Even if Beckenbauer becomes the honorary chairman, the successor It's not bad either. To sum it up in one sentence: People who understand football are managing the club.

When Hoeness asked Millwall's asking price, there was no fanfare, and the outside world didn't even get the slightest wind.

Aldridge's reply to Hoeness put Bayern Munich's top management in a tangled situation.

Hopfner, Hoeness, and Rummenigge, the three giants of Bayern staring at each other in the meeting room, sitting in front of the three in a tripod posture, there is a fax on the table.

Here's Millwall's reply.

The key content part is clear at a glance.

£25 million.

£10m + Schweinsteiger.

£15 million + Philip Rahm.

Rummenigge glanced at the fax and said solemnly: 25 million pounds, we are not Real Madrid.

It is true that Bayern Munich is rich, but they never spend money indiscriminately, let alone spend a lot of money.

Hoeness is very talented in financial management. When he was playing football, other people spent their spare time drinking and drinking, but he was tinkering with stocks and securities.

Out of his sensitivity to money figures, Hoeness was silent for a long time before saying: In Hall's eyes, Schweinsteiger is worth 15 million pounds?

Hopfner shrugged: Why not worth it? Schweinsteiger will definitely be worth more than 15 million pounds in the future.

On this point, there is a consensus within the Bayern Munich club.

Schweinsteiger, nicknamed Little Pig, has been amazing from the youth team to the first team.

Last season, he played 14 times in the league as a substitute, and also played on the Champions League stage.

Although Hoeness had a question, what he actually wanted to ask was the next question.

Philip Rahm, why is it worth £10 million in Hall's eyes?

Ram is nearly a year older than Schweinsteiger and will turn 20 at the end of the year.

However, Lahm has no record of playing in the first team of Bayern Munich, and he can't even get a substitute!

Even Hoeness, the giant who controls the team's manager's business, is hesitant about the renewal of Lahm's contract.

In fact, the reason why Lahm is almost 20 years old and has not been recognized by Bayern Munich stems from a big era background.

German football is in a period of transition and is on the way.

Generally speaking, it is in the process of abandoning the successful and brilliant 352 in the past and moving towards 442.

Midfielder, forward, central defender, goalkeeper, the training of players in these positions will not change much.

However, the only full-backs are full-backs who have transitioned from the training of wing-backs in the past to regular 442 full-backs.

Lahm, although he played midfield in the youth team, he is actually the first batch of full-backs trained from 352 to 442 under the background of German football!

Reform means experimentation. Whether Lahm will succeed or not, whether it will work or not, there is uncertainty within Bayern. Lizarazu is already 33 years old and will be 34 at the end of this year, but he is nearly 20 years old. Lahm can't even play as a substitute! r1152
