Aldridge is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible for him to bring a BUFF of strength improvement when he becomes the coach of the national team.

The mental level may inspire the players, after all, he may be the biggest and most prestigious coach in England besides Ramsey back then, and Ramsey was only crowned a god after winning the championship, and in terms of the situation at the beginning of his tenure, Aldridge's spiritual inspiration should be stronger.

But the England national team itself is not mentally problematic, so the improvement in this area is negligible.

It is a scientific and methodical process to find the problem, solve the problem, understand the advantages or its own characteristics, and then prescribe the right medicine and teach students according to their aptitude.

In just one hour, the training match and his own analysis showed that Aldridge completely won the trust of these international players through his work attitude and method.

At least, the situation looks plausible, not Aldridge ascending and shouting: boys, rush to Lao Tzu, let's win the championship!

Such a scene

In particular, Aldridge does not seem to have any intention of transplanting Millwall's technical and tactical style of play to the England national team, which makes the players feel more reliable.

Millwall is strong, it does not mean that Millwall's tactics are universal, who knows who knows, many European first-line teams have also imitated Millwall in the past two years, such as the use of delayed organizations, the transformation of traditional wingers, the result? The record is even worse.

Teaching students according to their aptitude and taking advantage of the situation is the most correct coaching policy.

After the players got up from the grass, Aldridge suddenly announced the list of players in the main position.

"I don't like to leave the players in the driver's mind, I like to put everything in front of you. Let the players know their situation. The situation faced. Now, I'm going to announce the tactical formation I'm going to use and the preferred players for each position, don't feel comfortable with the first-choice players, the alternates will be ready to challenge the main position, it all depends on your form at club level and how you perform in the national team. ”

As soon as Aldridge's voice fell, the players all held their heads high and looked grim.

The main position of the national team. It's a matter of personal honor!

"We're not going to use the 442 formation anymore, after I've discussed it with the coaching staff, we've designed a 4321 formation for England and I'll focus on the tactical aspect in training.

Goalkeeper: Seaman.

Right wing-back: Gary Neville.

Two centre-backs: Southgate, Rio Ferdinand.

Left wing-back: Ashley Cole.

Central midfielder: Bart.

Right midfielder: David Beckham.

Left midfielder: Frank Lampard.

Double midfielders: McManaman, Scholes.

Forward: Owen.

Above, if there are no injuries and form effects, they will be the first-choice players in all positions of the national team at the moment, and we will play a friendly against Spain in a few days. World Cup qualifiers with Albania, if there are no surprises. These 11 will be the starters. ”

After the announcement of the main team, most of the players were not too surprised.

And the alternative players, such as Joe Cole, Hargreaves, etc., have no expression fluctuations, for them, they are young and can't get the main position, it's normal, to be able to enter the national team, it's the biggest surprise, is there more?

But there are also players whose expressions immediately become lost.

Campbell at central defender, he is still the main player in the European Championship.

Keegan chose him to partner with Adams, and I don't know why he abandoned Southgate, maybe Keegan felt that Southgate was not "hard" enough for Campbell.

Aldridge's selection of the defender combination has always been based on complementary characteristics.

The central defender must have a strong sense of interception and prediction, as well as a sense of co-defense, to put it bluntly, in addition to the frontal impact, he must be able to be flexible.

Southgate doesn't belong to the kind of tough and rough tower defender, but his interception awareness, complement and anticipation skills have been honed at Millwall, whether it is Stam, Elgra, or Materazzi, his partner is a tough guy, and he is more likely to improvise to defuse dangerous situations.

Therefore, Southgate needs a hard-enough partner who also needs height.

Brown was left out, leaving Rio Ferdinand to compete with Campbell.

Purely from the current point of view, Campbell is stronger than Ferdinand.

But Ferdinand is on the rise, and the team he plays for is currently stronger than Tottenham Hotspur, which Campbell plays for, especially Ferdinand with Leeds United, he can also temper in the Champions League and accelerate his growth and improvement.

Another factor that made Aldridge decide to play Campbell off the bench was something he couldn't tell.

The centre-back Campbell seems to be a little psychologically fragile.

In the original history, he left the field after two ridiculous mistakes during his time at Arsenal, and his psychological fragility was directly comparable to that of goalkeeper Gomez, who would play for Tottenham Hotspur in the future, and suddenly cried bitterly on the pitch because of his mistakes

With such a centre-back, Aldridge fears that he will suddenly explode while he is directing the game, which will be a devastating blow to the morale of the whole team.

The other defenders are not too controversial, except for Phil Neville who was placed on the bench, Aldridge arranged for the left wing-back Ashley Cole to play the main team, and Bridge, who is four or five months older than Cole, has nothing to complain about, he came out of Southampton in the past two seasons, and the number of appearances last season was about the same as Cole, but even if Cole is a substitute, the standard of performance is also stable over him.

The pressure Aldridge will have to withstand is nothing more than whether Ashley Kerr can get more opportunities at the club in the future.

As for the midfield, Gerrard and Lampard have the same qualifications, both were selected for the national team for the first time in 99, and now Aldridge chose Lampard to start, Gerrard is still a substitute, if there is any dissatisfaction, it is nothing more than that Lampard failed to play in the summer European Championships, and Gerrard is a substitute with the team, but the summer European Championships are unbearable memories and cannot be the basis for Gerrard's dissatisfaction.

Fight, grab, who is in good shape. Who can perform better. Who's on. Shuangde, just one position.

Aldridge has dropped the 33-year-old Ince, and defensive midfielder Bart has been able to get the main force because of this characteristic of the player, who is now in the England national team.

Scholes and McManaman got the main team, which is not surprising, but they are both players who play for the giants.

With strikers shrinking and Shearer withdrawing from the national team, Hess basically thought he could get up. As a result, there is only one striker, and that is Irving's, Alan Smith is ambitious, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with, and he is already satisfied to have a chance to compete.

With that announced, the players had enough rest to move on to the next stage of group training with the ball.

The coaching staff organizes the training content and supervises and guides it.

Aldridge called a player from time to time on the sidelines to communicate.

He was the first to call Carragher.

"Jamie, there's one thing I want to be honest with you. You're a very good player, you have a lot of talent. I don't think you will question my words, you understand why. ”

Carragher nodded, of course he understood.

Aldridge personally came to persuade him to join Millwall, but Carragher refused, if he didn't have talent, would Aldridge come to him?

"However, in the national team, if I want to use you, you have to prove yourself first in the club, and at the same time, I use your words, it will only make you appear in the central defender position, right wing-back, Gary, Phil, Daniel, all three can play, and I have always thought that you can only play your best in the central defender position, I hope you can understand and understand."

What can Carragher say?

Except for nodding and leaving, no guarantees can be made.

Anyway, he plays at right-back and was blown up some time ago in a game against Millwall.

Player position variety and versatility are advantages, but it does not mean that every position that can be played can be the best of the best.

For example, Frank Lampard can play in the back, midfield, and forward midfield, but the effect shown in each position is different, it cannot be said that because he can show 90 points in the midfield position, he can also play 90 points in the midfield.

Aldridge continued to talk to Bart and Gerrard separately, not only to determine their position on the field and role in the national team, but also to implicitly offer them more opportunities at the club.

When Owen was called in front of him, Owen suddenly apologized to Aldrich.

"Coach, sorry, back then"

Aldridge was stunned, remembering that when he came to look for Owen, the other party turned him away, didn't even let him in, and didn't give him a sip of water, which was indeed a bit rude.

Aldrich smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the past. Michael, although the national team does not develop players, but you have to understand that you are not my ideal center striker, and you can get the temporary main guarantee because you are really superior in terms of ability to take chances, but it is not enough, far from enough, so I have an extra requirement for you. ”

Owen didn't expect Aldridge to say such a thing, he is the target of many European giants, and he himself is puzzled.

When I wasn't famous, you came to me.

I'm famous, and you don't pay attention to me anymore.

Millwall has money, but he has never been interested in Owen, and scandals fabricated by the media are often clarified as soon as possible.

It's not Owen's problem, it's just that Liverpool have made him a player who can't be conspired with unlike Millwall.

If Aldridge is interested in pure shooters, why let Ruud van Nistelrooy go?

"Coach, just say it, I believe that your request will definitely make me stronger, and we all hope to achieve better results in the national team."

Owen's response put Aldridge at ease, and he held up a finger and said, "One pass, I just want you to improve one pass." ”

Owen doesn't quite understand, does he pass the ball directly without stopping? It's not difficult, but it's impossible to say what the success rate will be.

"Michael, I mean a pass, when we attack, I need you to be able to observe the situation before you receive the ball, and then, pass the ball to a teammate who finds the space and is more relaxed in the defensive pressure, one kick, only one kick, after passing the ball, you go forward and go into the danger zone, not like in the past, you rush forward with the ball whenever you have the opportunity, more detailed requirements, I will combine training and games to make you fully understand."

Owen nodded and ran off to continue training.

Aldridge's transformation of the offensive end, the center is a very key point, and he can't make Owen have a strong ability to adapt, if he asks Owen to take on more, I'm afraid it will make Owen himself confused.

There is a saying that Chinese is very apt to use on the football field.

Take a step back, open the sky!

This is often the case on the football field, it is not necessarily a good thing to rush forward at the front, take a step back and pull the field away, but there are more opportunities, better, and make the attack rich and flexible. (To be continued......)
