"Millwall swept a qiē!"

"Unstoppable Wild Lion!"

"Who's going to stop Millwall? Hall: Nobody! ”

Fleet Street has touted as much hype as it can for Millwall's recent series of exciting games, with Aldridge beating Heathfield twice, Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in succession, making him Europe's number one public enemy in coaching.

Fleet Street, meanwhile, is complaining about the Champions League format.

The group stage is divided into two stages, and the excitement is reduced first.

Six rounds of matches to determine the round of 16, it's nothing, at the beginning of the season, there is a warm-up period, which is good for the team and for the spectacle of the event.

But 16 into 8, you also need to play 6 games, which makes the excitement of the event a lot lower, 18o minutes of two fights and 6 games of 36o minutes to calculate the excitement of the game system, can it be the same?

Just like now, the final round of the second group stage of the Champions League is about to start, and many games have lost their utilitarian significance, winning and losing, and having no impact on advancing to the top 8, the game is more like a routine formality.

In this time period, it is at the end of the season when the major leagues are in full swing, but the Champions League is staged without suspense and excitement, the fans are dissatisfied, the broadcasters are also dissatisfied, and those Champions League participating teams are more like playing commercial games and making money.

Two days later, Millwall will travel to Turkey to take on Galatasaray. Millwall, who have won all five games and have already qualified early, will definitely not send another main player to the field. Not even the main players will be included in the squad.

Today. The team continued to train as usual, and on a sunny afternoon, the main players who would be in London for midweek had just finished a training session and sat in the pitch to rest.

"How's the castle?"

"Troublesome, definitely far away from the club, a waste of time by car."

Xiao Luo was lying on the grass and dangling his legs, exchanging ideas with Schneider.

Recently, he wanted to buy a new house, but he thought that the three-story building he lives in is too small. Ideally, it should be able to accommodate more than 5o people to open a dì house.

Schneider pinched his biceps and poked it with his fingers, as if testing the hardness, and said casually: "You just go directly to the leader's brother, and it will definitely be done in three days." ”

Xiao Luo thought for a while, nodded and said: "It seems that I still want to trouble him, you say strange or not, I have been in London for so many years, but now I want to buy a house, but I have no clue." ”

"What's strange. If you don't play, you don't train. Go outside every day, browse real estate news every day, and you will know everything. Unfortunately, you didn't do that. ”

Xiao Luo smiled and said, "That's right, just like the boss said, I only have one job, and that is to play good football." Ha ha. ”

Southgate, Henry, and Nedved were sitting not far away and chatting.

Henry propped his hands on the grass behind him, looking at the other training ground in the distance, Aldridge took the tactical book and carefully arranged the training tasks for the four players in front of him, Henry chuckled: "Sometimes I really don't understand, all the newspapers say that the next game is a game for us to go through the motions, why don't the leaders sit down and rest?" ”

Southgate pointed to Ronaldinho, who was shaking his head, and said: "If the leader hadn't been like this, he might not be where he is today, and there are many other good team-mates in us. ”

Nedved laughed: "In three years, you won't have such doubts, because you will get used to such a sight." ”

Thierry Henry nodded, he was in the prime of his career, but he hadn't been at Millwall for too long, just around four years from the summer of '98 to now.

And like Nedved, who came to the team in '94, and after the team won the Champions League in '98, there were doubts like Thierry Henry, and Aldridge didn't need to fight so hard, but after another four years, they got used to such a leader, and in addition to admiration, they understood that this was part of the reason why Millwall was so successful.

Henry suddenly said, "Do you know what I'm most afraid of right now? ”

"Hah, are you injured?"

"No, I'm most scared of the summer World Cup, France meets England, and it's hard for me to imagine me playing on the pitch and then seeing the guy standing in front of the opposition dugout."

Henry touched his bald head, that feeling, he had experienced, when he played for Monaco, against Millwall, he never wanted to experience that feeling again, there was a kind of terrifying weirdness, which made him taboo.

Southgate smiled, and Nedved laughed a little far-fetched.

Southgate realised something and said to Nedved: "Hey, don't think about it, listen, now we have to stay in a good mood and face the next game in good spirits." ”

Nedved gave Southgate a nudge and smiled.

As the World Cup approached, Millwall talked about this topic in the team, and the loneliest one was Nedved, which also made him a little embarrassed, and he was alone in the main lineup of the whole team who missed the World Cup.

Gattuso and his good friend Andrea Pirlo sat cross-legged next to the goal, their backs to the post, Pirlo holding his chin and looking at Aldridge on the other training ground, while Gattuso pulled a handful of grass in his hands and counted them in his hands.

"Eh, you say, will the Italian coach be like the boss?"

Gattuso looked back at Pirlo's line of sight, then turned his head back and continued to throw away the grass in his palm one by one, saying, "Which club do you say?" Inter Milan's Cooper is not Italian, I heard that the head coach of AC Milan has a good relationship with the head in private, and the newspaper said that Thuram transferred to Parma that year, and the head of the head met the coach who always dropped the chain at that critical moment. Juventus' Lippi probably doesn't do that, he always looks cool, and if he sits in the dugout and smokes a cigar during a game one day, it must be cool! ”

Gattuso's "chain coach" refers to An Fat.

Ancelotti's tenure at Juventus, two seasons. There are failures at critical moments. In 99, it was shocked by Manchester United. It was reversed in the league in 2ooo, and fans who are familiar with Serie A must remember the "Perugia rain" when Juventus lost the league title, and it was Ancelotti who was in the Juventus coach's seat at that time.

After not seeing Pirlo's response for a long time, Gattuso turned his head and smiled and asked, "Are you reluctant to leave?" Then you stay. ”

Pirlo tilted his head, the back of his head against the column, his eyes a little dazed.

In fact, the four Italian internationals wanted to leave, and the initial idea was not firm. Everyone has a complex set of factors that influence, life, family, career, and even the conservative atmosphere of the Italian national team may also influence ideas, sometimes it is just to find reasons for themselves and convince themselves, but Pirlo knows that his belief in leaving is very strong, and his family is in Italy. It's not a fisherman's family like Gattuso, he's an out-and-out rich second generation. Moreover, they are tired of always communicating with people in English as a second language, and in the context of extremely successful careers, the environment itself limits their social interaction.

There are gains and losses, life will not be perfect, the focus of the world is not him, he wants to live a freer, more chic, more satisfied, he chooses to leave, then he must also be prepared to lose consciousness.

He knew that he would never meet a manager like Aldridge again in his life, a leader who was extremely impressed even when he watched him work from afar.

But there is no way, football is not the whole of his life, and he has gained more in the field of football.

Pirlo turned around and saw Gattuso pluck the grass and count it and throw it away, scolding, "You're too cheap, aren't you?" ”

"Can you handle it?"

Gattuso glared at Pirlo, then lowered his head to continue counting, but raised his head again and frowned.

Damn, I forgot where to count!

Before he could trouble Pirlo and blame the other party for interrupting him, Pirlo smashed a handful of grass directly on his head, and got up and ran away after smashing it.

"I'm cǎo, it's against you! Stop for Lao Tzu! ”

Seeing that this pair of good friends started chasing me again, the other teammates burst out laughing.

Aldridge was working on another field, and suddenly the player in front of him was attracted to attention, he turned around and saw Gattuso riding on Pirlo and constantly pulling the grass on the turf to stuff it into Pirlo's jersey, he waved his finger at the two men, and shouted to Boas: "Vilas, let them go and run laps, three laps!" ”

It was supposed to be a break, but I actually had the energy to play and play, and I was very happy, so let's run in circles to vent my energy.

Boas smiled and waved at Pirlo and Gattuso, supervising them as they went for a lap.

Aldridge is back to work, and in the eyes of the outside world, it doesn't matter if Millwall plays in the next game or not, and he has qualified early.

But for the manager, it's part of the job, and in Aldrich's eyes, it's a very important job: training the newcomers!

If he doesn't pay attention to such a game, it is difficult to imagine that players such as Ronaldo, Gattuso, Materazzi, Alonso, Klose and others can grow up well.

Standing in front of him were four players, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Klose, Villa.

If it's just to train the players and increase their game experience, Aldridge doesn't need to assign them too many tasks, but Aldridge thinks it's time to start cultivating cards and netbsp; "Where did I just go?"

Aldridge was distracted by the fight between Pirlo and Gattuso, and asked.

Klose said: "Boss, you said we wouldn't rely on one player. ”

"Ah, yes, the outside world knows that Millwall's Henry is the king of goalscorers, so they will limit him, if our tactics are absolutely based on Henry as the core of the attack, at the critical moment, it may be limited to death, so you will see, Larsson, Nedved, Ronaldinho's goals are not low, here the key role is played by the entire offensive group, only rely on one player, other players create opportunities for him, then the offense is very single, but if everyone can create opportunities for each other, The power of such an attack has increased exponentially, and it is the same for you. ”

Aldridge said this, Klose and Villa must understand that Kaka and Ronaldo may need a little more time to digest.

"Okay, let's go into more detail, one-on-one, you all have a certain success rate of breakthroughs, whether it's 2o%, or 5o%, give you 5 chances, you can succeed at least once, what is the problem derived? The opponent can't use one person to defend you every time, that's the focus of the defense, if we only rely on Klose alone, then the opponent will put in 2 people, 3 people to defend him, limit him, and our attack will be finished. But if both Klose and Villa are such a threat, the opponent's center of gravity will constantly swing between the two of them when defending, if we have three people, four of us can swing the biggest threat, then the opponent will not be able to keep up with our rhythm, and the offensive threat will shift faster than the defensive center of gravity! That's the point and the essence, get it? ”

Except for Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone else nodded.

Ronaldo asked: "So how do you make all four of them threaten?" ”

Aldridge said: "If you are playing against two or three defenders, the first thing you have to realise is that if I have two or three defenders, then the opponent will definitely be flawed or weaker in other areas, and my teammates will have better chances to threaten the goal. At this stage, you must first cultivate awareness, don't just look with your eyes, see the empty time to think that there is a chance, to think, when this kind of thinking becomes inertia, used in the game, your ability will be greatly improved, to understand, we are a giant, we are a top team, no opponent will be careless and directly expose you to an excellent vacancy, let you break the goal or assist your teammates, if you don't think, you can only always fight back, because only counterattack has a huge vacancy for your eyes to see. ”

Ronaldo thought for a while and nodded vigorously, as if he had an epiphany. (To be continued......)
