175 was targeted by the giants
After the goal, Millwall played more calmly.
Aldridge got up and came to the sidelines several times in this game to command, all of which were to ask Pirlore to give orders, and the instructions given to him were all tactical changes.
Pirlo is creative and has a global vision, but lacks tempo control and attacking coordination.
Playing in his position, passing is just a basic skill, there are not many players with short and long passes, but it is difficult to become a big tool just by passing, and the deeper invisible quality is the difference between ordinary players and excellent players, and even world-class players.
Pirlo, who was promoted to the main position this season, is naturally grateful to the young coach, but in this game, Aldridge made several points of mention, so that he was completely impressed!
How to attack in the middle of the attack, how to use the pressure of the deep offensive to cover the players who are inserted behind, and how to make the opponent return in vain when the opponent counterattacks ferociously
Just looking at Pirlo's style of play on the field, he still looks unhurried, but he calmly provides frontcourt firepower support for Millwall, making Millwall's offensive wave after wave.
"Martin, Hall is carefully cultivating that Italian boy, at the beginning of the season, I said that Hall is taking a risk with this Italian, because he is not flashy in football, and the defense is also worrying, especially not fast, in addition to his basic passing skills, I don't see any special qualities in him, but, in Millwall's crazy winning streak during this time, this Italian boy has grown up rapidly, you see, Pirlo played today at that pace. I thought he would lose his magic once he became familiar with his opponents. But through Hall, he kept communicating with him on the sidelines. As if to treat the game as training, Pirlo enriched Millwall's attack, and it is no exaggeration to say that Pirlo commanded Millwall's attack, while Chelsea were beaten passively. ”
"I agree with you that he made Millwall's attack more disorienting, moving left and right, forward and backward. But what I'm more concerned about is that if he doesn't have that kind of strength in other teams, it's clear that Millwall's players are very well connected, they can play overall fluid football, and there is no doubt about their individual ability. Oh, Chelsea counter-attacked, Leboeuf cleared the ball and Di Matteo took the ball and turned to take a step. One wrong step! Nedved poked the ball away from behind for the first time, and the ball was back at the feet of Pirlo. Long pass! There's no defender around Trezeguet, he takes a step sideways, is it a shot? Clever through to the ribs of the penalty area, Larsson! Shoot with your right foot! The ball is in! Four to zero! Millwall scored another in the 85th minute of the second half to completely destroy Chelsea, with Larsson netting twice, how many goals has he scored this year? ”
"If you only count the league, from January this year to today, he has scored 34 goals, plus the cup, a terrifying 41!"
Aldridge clapped on the sidelines, then gave a thumbs up to the field before returning to the dugout and taking a seat.
Fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge began to pull out, expecting it to be a good matchup, but Chelsea were clearly not in the same tier as Millwall.
Their strikers were inactive, and Di Matteo had lost his previous magic, even with a measly four shots on goal.
Millwall's football has developed absolute dominance on the field.
With a 4-0 win over Stamford Bridge, Aldridge continued to play his dominant role in the London Civil War.
After the game, he shook hands with Gullit and turned to leave, and Aldridge appeared relatively calm in the interview, quite a temperament that was not arrogant or impatient.
Millwall, who won 15 consecutive victories, not only shook the whole of England, but also made the European continent look sideways!
The next day's headline in The Times read: "Millwall: Top five league winning streaks!" 》
Europe's most terrifying winning streak is Benfica's 29-game winning streak set 25 years ago.
But in the five major leagues, the current record holder is Real Madrid, and that record is 35 years ago, also with 15 consecutive wins.
For the continent as a whole, the little-known Millwall created a 15-game winning streak in the Premier League to tie Real Madrid, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
In the aftermath of the six-goal thrashing of Manchester United, the major leagues have sent scouts to scout Millwall's players.
For what?
Because Millwall sounds like a springboard club for stars.
With Ajax quickly poached and several stars taken away for free in the summer, it is now a crazy time for major clubs to grab people.
FIFA has also begun to brew new transfer rules in response to the chaos in the transfer market caused by the Boseman Rule, especially between clubs in different countries.
Millwall have been terrible steadily, and after adapting to the Premier League, Aldridge's players' psychological quality has been strengthened, and their ability to withstand pressure in the big field has also been sublimated.
Who's going to stop Millwall? 》
The Star is calling for a team in the Premier League to end Millwall's winning streak, otherwise the Premier League could be over in January.
When Tottenham returned to north London with a painful score of 1-4 at the Lion's Den Stadium, the all-England media exclaimed: a new winning streak in the top five leagues was born.
16 wins in a row!
Aldridge cheered for his players, but before he could rejoice, new troubles appeared in front of him.
"AC Milan want to take Nedved and Larsson!"
"Inter Milan have a crush on Larsson!"
"Juventus"
The top three in northern Italy have all taken a fancy to Millwall's players, and AC Milan's invitation to the player broke out from Milan City.
Moratti, who took over Inter Milan last year, was sincere, and after learning that Aldridge knew Italian, he directly enquired about the player's transfer possibilities over the phone.
Moratti wants so many people that he even wants to take Millwall's attacking quartet with him.
Because he is desperate to revive Inter Milan, especially seeing the collapse of the dynasty of this season's city rivals AC Milan.
Money is not the focus of negotiations.
Moratti even offered a price that was very sincere.
But Aldridge talked to him for a long time and said that he would not sell any players.
It was not so polite to AC Milan.
Before the midweek Carabao Cup kick-off. Aldridge was repeatedly mentioned in press conferences about player transfers. He was a little impatient. So when the reporters asked him one by one without saying a word, everyone's eyes were on him, and Aldrich slowly spoke with an expressionless face.
"A year and a half ago, I remember the Italian media laughing at Millwall, and I recommended the Italian players in the team to the youth team of the Italian national team, which was not my obligation, but I did it to focus on developing players for the Italian national team, and I also wanted my players to wear the national team jersey with honor. Even if it's the U18 echelon. However, the Italian media was sneering, and I still remember the news at that time: where is Millwall's village? Now, some of their clubs want my players, think we're beggars? Throwing an olive branch through the media, not even faxing the inquiry to the club, yes, I'm talking about AC Milan, you have a lot of glory, you have a lot of titles. You are a noble and prominent family in football, although we are from a humble background in this small village of Millwall. But we have a kind of backbone! Do you think that throwing a bone or two on the ground will my players run over like dogs and pick them up and wag their tails at you and beg for mercy? Hehe, the answer from our small village is only one word: no. ”
There was an uproar in the audience, the camera lights flickered, and Aldrich got up and left with a cold face.
Each line has its own rules.
Inter Milan's family called in person to negotiate privately, although Juventus's Moggi was secretly in contact with Andrew, but he also sent a symbolic fax inquiry, only AC Milan had nothing, so they directly made nonsense through the media, talking about what Nedved, Larsson and other players should play at the San Siro, that is the highest glory of the player.
Other teams, Real Madrid, Bayern, have also asked about the possibility of a few players, but everyone is very well-behaved.
Maybe it's the Milan dynasty that gives AC Milan too much superiority, or maybe Millwall is looked down upon, but Aldridge can't accept it, he doesn't care what the outside world thinks, don't play this game according to the rules, we don't have a common language, he is the owner and coach of Millwall, and he deeply understands that dignity is more important than money!
AC Milan vice president Galliani played this hand badly, he also specialized in the summer Thuram's transfer to Parma transaction, in the Italian circle to understand some behind-the-scenes operations are not too difficult, he knows that Thuram's personal desire to transfer has been approved by the club, but the price is a bit high, Galliani, who has always been holding on to spend small money to do big things, naturally can't accept too high an offer, therefore, he wants to seduce the players first, let the player's personal will to influence the club's decision-making.
Who makes it now the post-Bosman law era, and the player's voice in the transfer has skyrocketed!
But he regrets it now, he didn't expect Aldridge to be a stunned young man, yes, he felt in his eyes that Aldrich acted impulsively, and offended the wealthy as soon as he opened his mouth, this kind of person is not easy to mix in this circle.
However, he did not do things properly, so he had to ease his relationship with Millwall through his relationship in private.
He's the guy who really wants Millwall.
AC Milan, which was the champion of Serie A last year, the new season is simply a disaster, and the operation in the summer transfer market was still talked about at the time, but after half a season, I will comment on Galliani's transfer operation in the summer, Dugari, Davies, Reziger, Bromqvist, etc., in general, it cannot be described as unsatisfactory, just looking at Milan's poor record and player transcripts, there is almost no money that can be praised by Milan fans as a good deal, And most of these players are destined to become Milan's passers-by.
Galliani has struggled to salvage his relationship with Millwall and remains fantasical about the winter transfer window.
After Aldridge left the pitch with a cold face at the press conference, Millwall lost the Carabao Cup the following day.
It's not that Millwall didn't perform well, it was originally more than the results when they came off the bench to practice.
And Aldridge has a good managerial opponent: Martin O'Neill.
His Leicester City is a promoted horse, after adapting to the rhythm of the Premier League, this promoted horse is getting better and better in the league, Martin O'Neill studied under Brian Clough, after becoming familiar with the Premier League, began a conservative defensive counterattack, and in the counterattack did not continue the British long pass, but through the ground pass to cut the side raid, simple and practical, good efficiency.
Originally, he coached a small team, the players were at that level, and there was nothing wrong with playing conservatively, and Aldridge sent a substitute, and it was not a pity to fall in the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
After the game, he and O'Neill sat together and had a good conversation, but O'Neill also played Millwall's idea of a player, but instead of buying, renting.
He wants to loan a speed player like Glen Shire, and he must be accurate on the counter-attack.
But Aldridge politely refused, he still wants the player to grow in his own tactical system, and there are a lot of games to play this season, and the substitute players will not be able to run for at least 20 games. (To be continued......)
