The Young Lion

Aldridge was interviewed in a hurry after the game. In his mouth, it was surprising to hear the remarks that Millwall performed well today.

Fleet Street thinks that Aldridge is also belittling Chelsea in a different direction, the mortal enemy, sarcasm, is it wrong?

But this is not Aldrich's hypocrisy, it is indeed a true inner evaluation.

The players hooked their shoulders and sang songs on the return bus with a carefree appearance.

This is the state familiar to the old Millwall players. They train hard and go to the game with all their strength. After winning the game, they can celebrate in a small group with a little unrestrained style. It doesn't matter if the duck's voice is out of tune.

I am happy, and no one in the world can stop it!

Both Stella Marjoni and Blanc were stunned by the state of Millwall when they returned from the away game. Perhaps they never thought that Millwall, who dominates Europe, would be so vulgar after winning. status!

Boss, what do you think we'll make a record of the Millwall anthem together?

Ronaldinho yelled loudly in the car, and Aldrich said without looking back: It's fine, as long as you don't use the training time to practice songs, whatever you want.

The whole team booed, let out a burst of laughter, singing nonsense, really want to record a record, really want to see if there is talent and voice, even if you want to make do, it takes time to practice, Ronaldinho, his time Can be more nervous than others.

According to Millwall's state today, the outside world's assessment of us is indeed correct.

Stella Marcioni whispered excitedly.

Aldrich turned to stare at him. Seeing Aldrich's expression, Stella Marcioni seemed to have said something wrong, and asked, What? Did I say something wrong?

Aldridge nodded slightly. He said softly: Do you know why the Millwall team in 2002 was able to set a league record of breaking 100 points?

Because the team is strong.

This is nonsense. But do you know where the strongest is?

Uh, let's just say it, what exactly is lacking in the current Millwall team compared to the previous Millwall team?

The dominance of the game, the control of the overall rhythm. In terms of the league alone, a team like Chelsea today is the best team we have faced.

ah?

Stramaccioni looked surprised. Seeing that Aldridge restrained his gentle expression, his eyes revealed a dignified look.

Aldridge looked down slightly in front of him. Indifferently said: Chelsea will make the game open. They are trying to prove something. They have strong ambitions for the game, so they are on the court space. The two teams are in a tug-of-war. In this environment, Millwall does not lack offensive space. Can play the team and the individual ability of the players calmly, showing all-round advantages. If it was Millwall two years ago, today he can score at least 5 goals against Chelsea. However, in the league, you will meet players who have no ambitions Team. You will meet many, many teams that only want to score 1 point on you and are happier than scoring 10 points. They will put on the ultimate defensive formation and will not give you the slightest offensive space. And use rough cutting tactics, foul Tactics are used to limit your individual players, space is used to limit the team, and fouls are used to limit individuals. Then, the most difficult question to test a team comes. The overall rhythm, because no team will stick to its own half for 90 minutes Inside. To break the worldwide problem of dense defense, Millwall did the best two years ago, because we are unmatched in the dominance of the overall rhythm. We will seduce the opponent, consume the opponent, play the opponent, and create a lot of illusions , and capture every distraction of the opponent, and even the breathing rhythm difference when the running stops, and then crush the opponent! But now Millwall needs to reshape this ability, so the biggest challenge of this season is not in the competition. The direct dialogue between the championship group, such a game is not difficult, the most difficult thing is the tough battle, and the intensive defense of all teams other than the championship group.

Stella Marjoni disappeared because of the excitement and joy of winning the game. He believed that the judgment made based on Aldridge's experience could not be wrong.

Just like if you don't watch all the games of Millwall in the 01-02 season, and especially observe what the changing factors that break the deadlock in their tough battles, you will not find the importance of Pirlo's overall rhythm, and people will only remember the majestic eight Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Nedved and others in the front, because they rushed to the front line, because they were the first to break through the battle, but without the rhythm of Pirlo, the master of organization, Blindly charging, most of them will not receive miraculous results, because the front line is often a dangerous area where the opponent deploys heavy troops to closely guard.

Even Aldridge thinks that compared to the league, the difficulty of the Champions League may be second. Although the opponents in the Champions League are definitely stronger than those in the league as a whole, it is still very difficult for the teams in the Champions League to unswervingly use dense defense to limit them. Rarely, the game may not be open and closed, but a certain amount of space will still appear uninterrupted. Only in the league, some opponents have completely given up the idea of ​​​​beating Millwall. Over the past many years, facts have proved that the more If you want to beat Millwall, it will be easier for Millwall to refresh a club's disastrous defeat record in the Premier League. Honestly fight for 1 point, or win if you lose less. Decent defeats, there are not many teams that bow to reality, Just to be able to survive in the Premier League, unless everything is clear like last season's closing stage, there is no record pressure, and the difference between losing and peace is not big, it is better to have the courage to wrestle with Millwall.

I'm telling you this because I hope you can add such considerations when you examine your opponents. The direction of your pre-match preparations will be more targeted. It's like when we play Leicester City in the next round. If you It’s meaningless to just dissect Leicester City, because their regular starting lineup will change at least 2 times, weakening the offense to strengthen the defense, which can be foreseen without analysis.”

As Aldrich said, Stella Maggioni quickly took out his notebook and recorded it. He used to coach the youth team, a place like the youth team. The requirements for the record are not high, the purpose is different, the youth team. Winning 100 championships is meaningless, but cultivating 1 genius is absolute success!

The third generation of Wild Lions still has a long way to go. Aldrich is still very clear about the main content of this big cycle of team building.

Develop players, Alonso. De Rossi, Ram. Baynes, Thiago Silva, Ronaldo, Kaka. Robben, Villa, this is the most important group of players to grow.

In the team's technical and tactical system, the wing storm is the core part of the offense, and the midfield control and defense, as well as organizational ability and rhythm control are another focus.

A successful team does not change, as can be seen from Millwall's performance last season. Millwall was a failure.

To replicate the previous success, outsiders can easily say to change parts, but there are no two identical parts in the world. Millwall has a long way to go to create a brand new team that will hit the dynasty again.

After the team's bus back to East London stopped, Aldridge stood up, looked at the excited players, smiled and said: You can be happy tonight, and you can be happy tomorrow morning. But tomorrow afternoon, Go back to the team training ground. Let's discuss the two conceded goals and some minor problems in today's game.

Oh, no, boss, why are you doing this too!

Ronaldinho wailed, and many old teammates, like Nedved, lowered their heads and smiled knowingly.

Aldridge smiled wryly: Because we are not perfect yet, I need you to be perfect and impeccable. If you bother me like this, then try to be perfect. Naturally, I won't talk about anything, it's very simple.

Leaving a very simple theory, Aldridge bid farewell to the players and coaching staff colleagues, the team disbanded and left the club one after another.

When he got home and opened the door, Aldrich saw the living room was in a mess, and children's jerseys were scattered all over the floor. Aldrich was dumbfounded, and saw Earl kneeling in front of Bert, and Bert kicked proudly. Stepping on Earl's lap and raising his arms as if to show off.

Earle shouted: Wrong, right foot! Not left, idiot, Henrik assisted Thierry with his right foot!

Oh, sorry, I made a mistake.

As Burt spoke, he immediately stepped on Earl's thigh with his right foot, and Earl made a shoe-shine gesture for him, and then the two cheered and hugged, as if they had accomplished a remarkable feat.

Aldridge somewhat understood why the small jerseys were scattered all over the living room. They must have imitated the behavior of Millwall players throwing jerseys to the stands after the game.

Hey, you are so naughty, aren't you afraid of being scolded?

The two little guys only noticed Aldrich's return at this time, and their faces burst into smiles. Bert jumped up and made a volley position, then fell on the soft sofa, and shouted at Aldrich: Dad, do you like me? It's so cool to look like Thierry scoring a goal!

Earl immediately corrected again: Wrong, wrong, Thierry is rushing forward, jumping up slightly, not in place, not in place!

Burt was going to do it all over again, and Yiwen came out of the kitchen.

Hi, welcome home, my God, you two, clean up the living room in 10 minutes, or you won't have dinner!

The two children do need occasional severe criticism and education from adults.

Burt picked up the jersey on the ground like a gust of wind and ran upstairs, Earl followed closely, and shouted pretending to be afraid: Aunt Yiwen is angry, she is not beautiful anymore, Bonnie will definitely be better than Yiwen in the future. Aunt Wen is beautiful, Bert, run.

Ivan laughed angrily, and complained to Aldrich: Earl is very much like a mischievous kid when you were young.

Aldridge shrugged innocently and said, Then you must say that Burt is very much like me when I grow up.

Yiwen was speechless at this moment, Aldrich walked over to hug her and kissed her lightly, and said, Is there anything I can do for you?

Yiwen rolled his eyes and said with a smile: Help me go upstairs to see Bonnie, don't let Earle feed her!

Aldridge saluted and said solemnly, Of course.

I still remember that last month Earl secretly fed Bonnie jam to eat, and the child couldn’t control the amount. As a result, Bonnie had diarrhea, which almost made Ivan cry. If Earl didn’t take the initiative to admit it, God knows what happened thing.

Aldridge went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. Bonnie was not yet one year old, and her crib was in the bedroom of Aldrich and Ivan. At this time, what made him laugh was that Bert and Earl were in the living room Let's stop making trouble, and start the imitation show again in front of Bonnie... (to be continued) ()
