Aldridge was in a hurry to give an interview after the game, and in his mouth, it was surprising to hear the remark that "Millwall was okay today".

Is it wrong for Fleet Street to think that Aldridge is also belittleing Chelsea in a different direction, a sworn enemy, and a mockery to the fullest?

However, this is not Aldrich's coy posture, it is indeed a true evaluation in his heart.

The players sang on the bus on the way back, hooking their shoulders and backs, whether it sounds good or not is secondary, in short, happy.

This is the familiar state of the Millwall veterans, training hard, doing their best to play, and after winning the game, they can celebrate in a small group with a little profligateness, and it doesn't matter how out of tune the duck is.

Lao Tzu is happy, and no one in the world can stop it!

Both Stramacioni and Blank were stunned by the state in which Millwall returned from the away win, and they probably never thought that Millwall, who dominated Europe, would be in such a "vulgar" state after winning!

"Chief, how about we record a record of Millwall's anthems?"

Xiao Luo shouted loudly in the carriage, and Aldrich said without looking back: "Okay, as long as you don't use your training time to practice singing, whatever." ”

The whole team coaxed, let out a burst of laughter, singing blindly and singing blindly, really want to record a record, really want to see if there is talent and voice, even if you want to make do, you have to spend time practicing, Xiao Luo, his time is much tighter than others.

"Based on Millwall's state today, the outside world's assessment of us is indeed correct."

Stramacioni whispered excitedly.

Aldrich turned his head to stare at him, and Stramaccioni saw Aldrich's expression as if he had said the wrong thing. Rhetorical question: "How?" Am I wrong? ”

Aldridge nodded slightly and said softly: "Do you know why that Millwall team in 02 was able to set a record of breaking 100 points in the Zào League? ”

"Because the team is strong."

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

"Ugh. Just say it, Millwall now. Compared to the Millwall team in the past, what is missing? ”

"The dominance of the game, the control of the overall tempo. In terms of league games alone, the kind of Chelsea team we have faced today is the best team we have ever faced. ”

"Huh?"

Stramacioni looked surprised, and saw Aldridge retract his gentle expression, and his eyes showed a solemn look.

Aldridge looked down slightly in front of him and said lightly: "Chelsea will open up the game, they try to prove something, they have a strong ambition for the game. So in the stadium space, the two teams are in a tug-of-war, in such an environment, Millwall is not short of attacking space, can calmly play the team and the individual ability of the players, show an all-round advantage, if it was Millwall two years ago, today can play Chelsea at least 5 goals. However, in the league. You're going to have teams that don't have ambitions, you're going to meet lots and lots of teams that just want to get one point on you and be happier than ten points, and they're going to play the ultimate defensive formation and don't give you the slightest space to attack. And use brutal chopping tactics, foul tactics to limit your individual players, space is to limit the team. A foul is to limit the individual then. The hardest question to test a team comes the global rhythm. Because no team will stick to their own half for 90 minutes, breaking the global problem of dense defence, Millwall did the best two years ago, because we are unrivalled in the dominance of the overall tempo, we will tempt the opponent, wear the opponent, play the opponent, create a lot of illusions, and capture every distraction, even the poor breathing rhythm of the running stop, and then knock the opponent down! But now Millwall, need to reshape this ability, so the biggest challenge this season is not in the direct dialogue of the championship group, that kind of game, but not difficult, the most difficult is to fight the tough battle, play the dense defense of all teams outside the championship group. ”

Stramacioni's excitement and joy at winning the match vanished, believing that Aldridge's experience would not be wrong in his judgment.

Just like if you don't watch all the games in Millwall's 01-02 season, especially observe what the changing factors are to break the deadlock when they fight tough battles, you won't find the importance of Pirlo mastering the overall rhythm, people will only remember the majestic Ronaldo, Henry, Larsson, Nedved and others, because they are on the front line, because they are the first people to break through the wilderness, but if there is no Pirlo, the master of the organization, to master the rhythm, blindly rushing, most of them will not receive miraculous results, Because the first line is often also a dangerous area where the opponent has deployed heavy troops and closely guarded it.

Even Aldridge believes that relative to the league, the difficulty of the Champions League may be secondary, although the opponents in the Champions League are certainly stronger than the league as a whole, but the Champions League unswervingly uses dense defense to limit their teams, it is still very rare, the game may not be wide open, but a certain space will still appear uninterrupted, only in the league, some opponents are completely cut off the idea of beating Millwall, over the past many years, it has been proven that the more you want to beat Millwall, On the contrary, it is easier for Millwall to set a club Premier League fiasco record, honestly fight for 1 point, or lose less to win, decent defeat, and there are not many teams that bow to reality, just to survive in the Premier League, unless it is like last season's closing stage, a qiē-shaped shì is clear, there is no record pressure, and there is little difference between losing and drawing, it is better to have the courage to wrestle with Millwall.

"I'm telling you this, I hope you can add such considerations when you look at the opponent, and the work in the pre-match preparation is more targeted, just like when we play Leicester City in the next round, if you just dissect Leicester City, it doesn't make sense, because their regular starters, at least 2 will be changed, weakening the attack to strengthen the defence, which can be foreseen without analysis."

Aldridge said, Stramaccioni quickly took out his notebook and recorded that he used to coach in the youth team, and in the youth team, the requirements for the results are not high, and the purpose is different. Youth team, win 100 championships. It doesn't make sense, but it cultivates 1 genius. It's an absolute success!

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

Develop players, Alonso, De Rossi, Lahm, Baines, Thiago Silva, Ronaldo. Kaka, Robben, Villa, this is the main group of players to grow.

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

Successful teams don't change. It can be said that Millwall's table last season was a failure.

If you want to replicate the success of the past, outsiders can easily say that you can change parts, but there are no two parts in the world that are the same. Millwall has a long way to go to build a team that will be new and will make a comeback for the dynasty.

After the team's bus back to East London stopped, Aldridge stood up. Looking at the players who were so excited, he smiled and said, "You can have fun tonight." Tomorrow morning will be fine, but tomorrow afternoon. Back on the training ground, let's talk about the two goals conceded and some minor issues in today's game. ”

"Oh, no, sir, how can you do this!"

Xiao Luo wailed, and many old teammates, like Nedved, bowed their heads and smiled.

Aldrich smiled bitterly: "Because we are not perfect, I need you to be perfect, I need you to be impeccable, if you annoy me like this, then try to be perfect, I will naturally not be verbose anymore, it's very simple." ”

Leaving behind a "very simple" theory, Aldridge said goodbye to his players and coaching staff colleagues, the team disbanded, and left the club one after another.

When he returned home and opened the door, Aldridge saw a mess in the living room, with children's jerseys scattered all over the floor, and Aldridge was stunned to see Earl kneeling on one knee in front of Bert, who triumphantly stepped on Earle's thigh and raised his arm as if to show off something.

Earl shouted, "Oh no, it's the right foot!" Not left-footed, stupid, Henrik is right-footed assist to Thierry! ”

"Oh, sorry, I made a mistake."

Bert immediately put his right foot on Earl's thigh as he made a shoeshine gesture for him, and the two of them 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, and they must have mimicked the Millwall players throwing their shirts into the stands after the game.

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

The two little ones only noticed Aldrich's return at this time, and immediately smiled, Bert jumped up and made a volley and fell on the soft sofa, shouting at Aldrich: "Dad, it doesn't look like Thierry's goal, it's so cool!" ”

Earl immediately corrected: "Wrong, wrong, Thierry is rushing forward, jumping up slightly, not on the spot, not jumping on the spot!" ”

Bert was about to do it all over again, and Evan came out of the kitchen.

"Hey, welcome home, oh my God, you two, clean up the living room in 10 minutes, otherwise, you won't have your portion for dinner!"

The two children really need to be harshly criticized by adults once in a while.

Bert picked up the jersey on the ground like a gust of wind and ran upstairs, Earl followed, and shouted in a pretended fear: "Aunt Evan is angry, not pretty, Bonnie will be prettier than Aunt Evan in the future, Bert, run." ”

Iran laughed angrily and complained to Aldrich, "Earl is like a mischievous little devil when you were a child. ”

Aldrich shrugged innocently and said, "Then you must say that Bert is very much like me when I grew up." ”

Evan was speechless, Aldrich walked over and hugged her and kissed her gently, saying, "Is there anything I need help with?" ”

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

Aldrich saluted and said sternly: "Obey." ”

I still remember last month Earl secretly fed Bonnie jam to eat, and the child couldn't grasp the measurement, and as a result, Bonnie had diarrhea and almost scared Evan to tears, if Earl hadn't taken the initiative to admit it, God knows what happened.

Aldridge went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door, Bonnie was not yet a year old, her crib was in Aldrich and Evan's bedroom, at this time, to his heart's relief, Bert and Earl stopped arguing in the living room, and came to Bonnie and started the parody show again (to be continued......
