Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ――

Manchester United beat Arsenal on penalties in the Community Shield as the Premier League season drew closer.

Millwall prepare for the season opener with peace of mind.

Until then, they took a family portrait for the new season.

Attached is Millwall's 03-04 first-team squad.

Goalkeepers: Bout, Pagliuca, Kirkland.

Defenders: Schneider, Ramos, Lahm, Neil, Southgate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Barzagli, Ashley Cole, Baines.

Midfielders: Alonso, De Rossi, Pedretti, Nedved, Kaka, Ramour, Moutinho, Veloso.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Robben, Larsson, Thierry Henry, Villa, Ronaldinho.

A total of 27 people.

With three days to go before visiting Stamford Bridge, the Millwall players at the Leo training ground are training in a relaxed atmosphere.

De Rossi and Villa looked more fit than last season, and Aldridge pinched their muscles, touched his own, sighed helplessly, and then silently spent more time in the gym.

Xiao Luo's figure has regained to a slim state, but he will never become a typical "black and hard" type, and the sweat he has paid has satisfied the coaching staff, because he is the most contrasting in the pre-season preparation.

On a sunny afternoon, the newcomers to the first team, Lahm, Moutinho and Veloso were very inconspicuous here.

Ambitious to join the young marshal's disciples. After coming to Millwall. The scenery presented in front of them has nothing to do with the magnificence.

If it had been seven or eight years ago. When they come to Millwall, they see Aldridge doing everything himself, worrying about every detail, and supervising the training of the players.

Today, however, Millwall is operating in a mature system, unlike in the past, when Aldridge would work overtime with the coaching staff to explore the efficiency of training content. The rationality of the training method, regularly reflect on the state of the team, now, they have a mature system, experience, the rationality of the training content collocation, the training intensity of the players with different characteristics of the arrangement of scientific, the effect of efficiency, all aspects, they are familiar with the road handy. This is also where Aldridge leans on the coaching staff.

He will not preside over all aspects of the training. It's like an overseer pacing on the sidelines, seemingly careless, but pointing out the details in a nutshell when he finds them.

This is in stark contrast to what Lahm, Moutinho and Veloso were expecting.

Perhaps in their fantasy, the young coach should be passionate, even in training, he will always motivate the players, whip the players, and demand the players to achieve perfection.

These tasks are now done by colleagues in the coaching staff, and the professionalism of the veteran players in the team guarantees that their exemplary role will subtly influence the young players, but some of the young players themselves may not feel it.

Just like when training with Nedved in a group, Nedved doesn't rest, and the others don't rest, it's not a question of daring or not, it's being invisibly affected.

"Vilas, you take Philip to Rene's side."

Aldridge suddenly shouted at Boas from inside the training ground.

Ram stopped and looked around, not quite sure if Philip was calling himself.

Sure enough, when Boas walked towards him, Ram was a little worried.

After he came to Millwall to report, he went to the United States to train together, and after returning to the team for more than a week, he kept up with the training rhythm of the first team and became familiar with the place.

But who is Rene?

Where are you going to take him?

Was he removed from the first team?

He thought so worriedly in his heart that before Boas could get closer, he turned to his compatriot Schneider and asked, "Bernd, where does the boss want me to go?" ”

Schneider frowned, revealing a look of embarrassment, and he stopped talking.

Seeing Schneider's expression, Ram's fear in his heart was even worse.

It seems that he has something to dislike the leader in training, and he is about to be kicked out of the first team!

Boaz looked suspicious, Ram followed him with his head drooped, looking like he was about to go to the execution ground, Boas opened his mouth and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

Seeing that the two had gone away, Ram said worriedly: "Coach, what am I dissatisfying the leader?" ”

Boas was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "You are not yet 20 years old, and there are many things that the boss is dissatisfied with you." ”

'yes, I'm not yet 20 years old, but why didn't you give me any explanation and just leave me out of the first team?'

Boas was confused and said, "What are you talking about?" I'm just going to take you to Rene Mulensteen, who is the technical director of the youth team and is in charge of the technical development of the players, and no one is saying that you should leave the first team. ”

Ram looked up with a blank expression, and after a moment, he turned his head to look at the training ground, and saw Schneider and Xiao Luo looking at him, both snickering.

Ram understood: he had been tricked.

It really scared the hell out of him.

Then he asked about Mullenstine.

When Villa Boas told him that Muhrensteen had personally supervised the training of Ronaldo, Villa, Thierry Henry, Larsson, Nedved, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pirlo and many others, Lahm finally understood.

This was a decision that Aldrich wanted to focus on cultivating him.

Millwall is not a first-team team, with nearly 200 people in all echelons from top to bottom, and Muhrensteen is the director, but he does not personally coach every player.

Only a particularly talented player will focus his energy.

Basically, the players who can make it to Millwall's first team are registered with Mulensteen, but only a few of them are those who have personally developed their technical development training programs.

For example, Moutinho is already on the schedule of Moulenstin's work, while Veloso is handed over to his assistant.

Rahm was originally out of Muhrensdine's focus because of his age.

Because he was almost 20 years old when he came to the team, the technical characteristics of the players and the habits of playing. After the age of 21, it is difficult to improve and change significantly. "Shaping" this stage. It is all done before the age of 21, after the age of 21, it is just that the already good will be honed and skillful, and it is more practical to cooperate with the competition experience, just like before the age of 21, he will not be able to pedal a bicycle in the competition, after the age of 21, let him learn, and may not be able to cultivate a player who can combine the skills of cycling with practicality in the competition.

Take some late bloomers as an example. Their achievements or outbreaks are late, and when they break out, most of them are an increase in experience or efficiency, and there will be no qualitative changes in skills, which is a limitation of the stage of human body development and cannot be changed.

Bayern Munich's youth training system must have quality assurance, and Lahm has laid a good foundation, but in Aldridge's view, it can continue to improve and improve. In the next year and a half, let him lay a better technical foundation. At the same time, using the game to improve his experience will help him develop in the future.

Bringing him to Millwall and letting him fight for the world number one is not an empty word.

Muhrensteen has not been idle over the years, working the same every season, except for the overall improvement of the Millwall youth system to develop the skills of the players, is to spend a lot of energy on shaping the players individually.

Nedved, Larson, and Henry, who were the first to leave his sight, actually had nothing to focus on, mainly to design a set of special training programs that were conducive to their strengths and strengthen their strengths.

Later, he sent away Pirlo, Xiao Luo, and now, although Ronaldo Baines and other young players have arrived in the first team, they still have a fixed time to report to him every week and receive special technical training.

It can even be said that Ruud van Nistelrooy began to break out at Manchester United, climbing towards the altar of the king of the small penalty area, and there is also the credit of Muhrenstin, but I don't know if Ruud van Nistelrooy still maintains a fixed special training at Manchester United, but according to Ferguson's once wanted to dig up Mulensteen, his guidance and arrangement for Ruud van Nistelrooy will definitely be valued on the Manchester United side and will not be discarded.

On the way, Lahm asked Villas-Boas a lot about things inside the team, including some dressing room order issues.

'At Millwall, there are very few players who turn their faces against each other, probably it has to do with the personality of the high-status players in the team, Nedved, Larsson, Southgate, they don't lose their temper with their team-mates, but they also have times when they express their dissatisfaction, such as silence, if you are lazy in a game, or you are dazed and immersed in your own performance, they may not give you any good looks, and then take action to tell you what is right. There was a period of time last season, Ronaldinho would not pass the ball to Klose on the field, because Klose did not score in two games, and squandered some opportunities, no teammates were angry at him, but the players will always have their own way to express their dissatisfaction, and after Ronaldinho assisted Henry's goals in a row, Klinsmann noticed the problem, so he held an intra-team meeting, and it was safe to get through such a small turmoil. ”

Ram listened in surprise and worried.

A good striker, in the current view, is impossible to score every game, two or three games, or even a month without scoring, is normal, for example, a striker who has played 40 games in a season and scored 28 goals means that he has not scored in at least 12 games, and if a hat-trick is scored in one game, it means that there are at least 14 games without scoring.

But there's no denying that a striker like this is absolutely good, and if it's in the top league, then it's also a top striker.

It seems that at Millwall, if the striker does not score in two games, it will cause a big problem?

Seeing his expression, Boas knew that he had misunderstood, and explained with a smile: "It's not what you think, you still don't understand, Millwall's team philosophy is actually not related to numbers, but to contribution and teamwork, the example I said, the point is not that Klose didn't score, but that he squandered and wasted a lot of opportunities, plus, in those opportunities, he could have a better choice to serve the team, but he wanted to score too much, so he left the team, which caused dissatisfaction among his teammates." This situation also happened to Ronaldo, but his teammates will not complain about Ronaldo, but will tolerate him generously, because he is still young, he is growing, and this team will give him a certain space to learn, accumulate experience, make mistakes, and be part of growth. This philosophy also works on you, so you don't have to worry too much, only one day, when you are fully grown up and wearing a Millwall shirt means that you have to absolutely shoulder the team, the team will demand the highest from you and will not tolerate you leaving the team on the pitch. ”

Ram thought for a moment and felt that he was beginning to really understand Millwall. (To be continued......)
