The Young Lion

When Lahm and Boas came to the youth team to find Meulensteen, they unexpectedly saw that Meulensteen was seriously disciplining a young player. In Lahm’s eyes, that player might only be 13 or 14 years old. Left and right.

But in fact, this young man just turned 16 this summer.

That's right, in today's game, I specifically asked the opponent to restrict you, and let them tell you how easy it is to be restricted by playing with one foot! If your left foot is 100 points, then you Your right foot scored 0 points today! You use your left foot to pass the ball accurately, shoot accurately, dribble, and do everything, but what about your right foot? Even a 30-meter pass will be missed. When you are marked, There were 3 turnovers when you stopped the ball with your right foot! Lionel, God has given you an unparalleled talent, not only talent, but also a left foot that is born with inertia! How rare is this, can you understand? Because all the players in the world When defending opponents, 99% of their opponents are right-footed players! And the impact of your left foot will itself create difficulties for the opponent, but when the opponent knows this and tries hard to limit your use With your left foot, if you can't use your right foot to disrupt the opponent's plan, your ability will be limited a lot, a lot!

It was the 16-year-old Messi who was reprimanded by Meulensteen. His good friend Aguero was absent-mindedly playing with the ball not far away, and was actually secretly listening to Meulensteen's lesson to Messi.

Messi's talent and talent are not only recognized by every coach in Millwall, but even football critics who have watched him play will be full of praise.

Because he is an omnipotent king in the competition among his peers. Be the game juggernaut!

But. Professional football is not a competition of the same age group. In the real professional arena, you will directly meet veterans who have been in the field for a long time.

It is impossible for Meulenstein to let Messi change his dominant foot, nor can he really let him achieve the level of balance between his feet, but at the very least, the gap between his feet should not be too obvious, so that Messi cannot become a player in the future. One-legged monster, in that case, it will really limit his strength.

Even now in the game Football Manager. There will always be options for restricting the opponent's dominant foot. Is this child's play? Is it bullshit? Absolutely not!

With a certain level of excellent defensive players, the opponent's dominant foot will definitely be involved in the restrictions and conditions of the opponent, instead of just standing in front of the opponent and waiting foolishly. It's hard to tell when fans watch the game.

Take Schneider as an example. When he defended Giggs against Manchester United, he focused on capturing the moment when the opponent's possession and dribbling rhythm was poor. When choosing the timing of the interception, it must be based on the space when Giggs touched the ball with his left foot. Or Giggs wants to pass him, most of them use the left foot to control the ball and change the frequency or direction, which can be predicted, and Giggs has a few wonderful breakthroughs against him, you can often see Giggs confuses Schneider with his right foot

After hitting a rhythm difference, use the left foot to make a breakthrough and change direction.

This is the importance of the smaller the gap between the two feet, the greater the threat. The dominant foot remains the same, but the other foot must be able to provide one-on-one defensive confusion for the opponent, which requires a certain ability.

Messi originally also had strengthened training on his right foot, just like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Henry and others in the past, they have all gone this way in Millwall, as long as they have the ability to pass five levels and kill six generals Players can’t fly with one foot. The simplest effect is that you stop the ball with your right foot and then dribble with your right foot, and you stop the ball perfectly with your left foot, and step the ball directly with your right foot. The rhythm is different. In terms of efficiency, the latter is obviously better, which is reflected very frequently in Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson and others.

It is only in the last two months that Messi has indeed been slack in training in this area. In addition, today Meulenstin deliberately beat him, not only arranging opponents for the U18 youth team, but also deliberately letting players who are two years older than Messi specialize. Restricting his left foot made Messi play a relatively poor game.

Messi didn't refute anything. He knew that the coach was educating him, and he didn't just say it with his mouth. Using the game made him realize the importance, and he honestly expressed his attitude to Meulensteen. Next, he will strengthen his right foot. In training, Mullenstin wasn't really angry, but his tone was a little harsher.

After letting Messi leave, Messi saw Aguero winking at him, and he didn't mean to gloat, but it was mostly a kind of surviving a catastrophe luck.

In fact, Aguero is more envious, because the tradition here is: the more the coach talks to you, the more he values ​​you.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. Some players don’t usually get scolded by their coaches. They lived quietly for three or four years, and then left here when they reached a certain age. They never came back, and even never heard from him .

Boas and Lahm waited behind, and it wasn't until Messi left that Boas brought Lahm in front of Meulensteen and told Meulensteen where Lahm was playing.

Looking at Lahm's thin body, Meulensteen looked weird and asked Boas: Aldridge is going to build a crazy offensive team in the first team?

Lahm didn't quite understand, but Boas laughed and said, There must be more pursuits than before. Besides, the situation this year is different from the past few years.

Meulensteen nodded after thinking for a moment.

Indeed, I didn't think so much last year. I just felt that I could continue to be brilliant in the old way. But a month ago, I saw that Daniele and Harvey's physical fitness was much stronger. I suddenly felt that the team's midfielder was better than before. Stronger, it does weaken some of the defensive muscles on the wing.

Boas said with a smile: That's true. Aldridge is always an eye-opener in terms of adapting to the situation. Maybe in another two years, you may be able to train a few defenders who can play organizations.

Meulensteen laughed dumbfounded, shook his head and said, I'm only responsible for cultivating the technical ability of the players, and the organizational ability is more important here, and here, I can't cultivate it, only Aldridge or your first-team coach can cultivate it.

He said and pointed to his temple, the meaning was obvious: mind.

Boas left, and Ram was first taken to the office building of the youth team by Mullenstein. in his office. Mullensteen pulled out a videotape. Play it for Ram to watch.

Rahm saw that there were highlights of some players' performances on the court.

To his surprise, almost all the players in these extraordinary highlights are wingers!

Meulenstin explained for him: At first I thought you were the striker introduced by the team, but Villas said you were a full-back, and I realized what kind of role Aldridge hopes you can play in the team in the future. Let's put it this way, a full-back cannot become a world-class full-back based on pure defensive ability. To be the top in the world, a full-back must have at least 70% of the ability of a top-level winger. If you add that the full-back itself is more powerful than the winger Concealment, there is space for sprinting in the position, then in the actual game, the role played is equal to or even surpassed by the winger. Therefore, in terms of your technical training, at least the offensive part, you have to use the winger as a template, and not the traditional winger .Because there is no traditional winger in Millwall. The cultivation of consciousness is the work of the first team. I am only responsible for your technical ability training. Let you watch these videos first, so that you can have a bottom line in your heart and know yourself. What kind of direction are you working towards? The specific training content will be tailored according to your characteristics, and you should not feel pressured. It seems that you will learn a lot of tricks. No, practicality is paramount. Maybe a year and a half later, You don't think you've learned anything.

Ram half-understood, understood the first part, but didn't quite understand the second part: What does it mean not to think that you have learned something?

He didn't realize the meaning of this sentence until he began to be understood by Mullenstein and guided his study.

Because Millwall never teaches players to be fancy.

The success of passing people is not one-on-one in most cases, but space and coherence. Choose a good passing line and play a role in explosive power at precise timing. You can pass a group of people at a time, and you can break through the entire line at once The defensive line, but the wrong route selection, situation judgment, and inappropriate timing of explosive release may allow you to pass a person, but fall into a double-team circle, which will make the ball under your feet enter a dead end, and the team's An attack was terminated by the opponent.

As for the teaching, it is to strengthen the basic skills, or focus on practicality.

The simpler things are the foundation of everything, this is the basis of the Millwall team philosophy, just like they never design complicated and complex tactical routines, only set up a clear system, and then rely on players and execution, In this process, it may be subconsciously creating a wonderful landscape that others cannot reach.

When Lahm received special training, he unconsciously absorbed the essence of Millwall's philosophy, from personal ability to football thinking, are quietly changing

Before going to Chelsea, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference for the opening game of the new Premier League season.

Compared with Chelsea, who have been in the limelight since July 1st, Millwall seems to be a bit bleak, but when it comes to the theme of competition, Millwall still returns to the leading role. Fleet Street does not want to admit it, but it is also acting Silently told the world: Compared with Chelsea's swagger, Millwall is the most interesting football king in European football.

Sir Alex Ferguson has declared that Manchester United's biggest enemy to defend the title this season is Millwall.

Chelsea see Millwall as a contender.

Arsenal believes that Manchester United cannot successfully defend the title. They and Millwall are the title competitors.

Milan won the Champions League last season, ending the Premier League's five-year domination of the Champions League. Milan coach Ancelotti believes that the biggest opponent of the Champions League in the new season is Millwall.

When Aldridge appeared on the stage in the press hall, the reporters in the audience chattered and asked questions.

No way, Aldridge, the young marshal, is fucking playing big again.

When I came, I said a word: You ask first, and then I will answer all at once, saving time.

Fleet Street wants to cry but has no tears.

He had a bad fight with Aldridge at the end of last season. This young coach really holds a grudge.

So everyone scrambled to ask questions, waiting for the young marshal's answer.

Aldridge's expression was not happy. After the scene was quiet, he took a sip of the mineral water on the table and said lightly: Millwall will not always be strong, will not always be the Premier League champion, the European Champions Cup champion However, at least that day has not yet come. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Milan, how they view Millwall is not my concern. Millwall has only one enemy in the new season, and that enemy is named Millwall.

After saying that, the young marshal got up and left in a leisurely manner.

All the reporters on Fleet Street looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Well, the young marshal's classic remarks appeared again.

The Millwall boss says Millwall has only one enemy named Millwall.

This is ignoring everyone! (to be continued...) ()
