Bale felt Aguero was a good new friend.

At least if he has a question, Aguero will say a lot to answer and explain it clearly.

And if someone cherishes his words like gold, there is obviously a subtext saying: I don't want to deal with you!

So Bale, who dreamed of becoming famous with a goal, asked reluctantly: "KUN, I don't understand what you just said, uh, a lot of teams bring in young players, and they will play those players in the first season, why is there such a strange tradition at Millwall?" ”

Aguero crossed his waist and looked up to the sky for a long time, and finally frowned and said: "I don't know which teams you are referring to, but I know that Millwall has insisted on doing this for so many years, so we have always been the strongest team in Europe, no, the world. If the coach comes to answer your question, it should say that you have to contribute to the team, first of all, you have to understand your role, not only understand your own strength, characteristics, but also understand the characteristics of your teammates, the way our team plays, at least 11 players on the field must have a very high tacit understanding, so that even if your strength is not the best, but you can still make a great contribution to the team. ”

Bell understood, and at the same time felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

It felt like it was very difficult to get ahead at Millwall.

This is a very normal thing.

A first-class player is more likely to succeed in a second-rate team, but if a first-class player wants to succeed in a big club, I am afraid it will be a question of whether he can stand firm.

Bale humbly asked Sergio Aguero for advice, and he felt that Aguero would provide him with a lot of experience that would allow him to settle into Millwall quickly.

Aguero didn't hide anything. Or call yourself the serpent of the land. Dismissive of Bell. In fact, he doesn't have many friends at Millwall, because there is too much turnover here, the lower echelons are refreshed almost every year, and the youth teams that officially play will also undergo a personnel purge every two years or so, most of them are eliminated in the competition, only a few are not seen here, and they are attracted to other clubs, plus Millwall itself lacks the sincerity to retain. I packed my bags early and headed for a new future.

He also doesn't know how long Bale will be here, and maybe in a year or two, today's new friend will be forgotten and no longer in the spotlight at the top football venues.

"The philosophy of survival in Millwall, well, philosophy, that's a word that the leaders like to say, I think it's very deep. Here, just don't be presumptuous, don't think you're playing well. Or how bad your one qiē. It's up to the coach to judge, don't argue with the coach about anything, there's no point, it will only delay your future, two years ago there was a player with a very good talent, it should be said that he was uniquely good, at that time many people said that he was more talented than Millwall had the current talent, but after a year he was swept away, because he lacked ball intelligence, he was never in the same rhythm with his teammates in the game, he was always self-oriented, the coach tried to help him correct, but I felt that he didn't want to change, he always wanted to make himself the focus, He treated football as a one-man show, and as a result, Millwall gave up on him, and now, I don't hear anything about him, things like that, it happens every day in the youth team, I have a friend, Lionel Messi, he is now a substitute in the first team, he had similar problems for a while, he was educated by the coaches for a while, he made changes, and then, he broke into the first team last season, and although he still trains and plays in the reserve team 80 per cent, he is very close to success. ”

After a short conversation with Sergio Aguero, Bale had a rough idea of what he needed to do at Millwall, and in this "cradle of superstars" that young players were fascinated by, he began to shed some of his dreamy fantasies and began to take on his own challenges here with a sense of normalcy

At the end of July, Millwall's Asian training was over, and the team returned to London tired.

In Asia, they have a lot of business to participate in, friendly matches and the jet lag of going back and forth, which will inevitably affect the team's pre-season form.

Business and competition not only have a positive interaction with each other, but also have negative effects.

Aldridge thought that he would be 30 years old tomorrow summer, and it felt like it would be a more milestone age, so he decided to change his image for the new season.

This change is not much, but it is just to make his image more in line with his age, and he begins to grow a beard, of course, not into a big beard, but a mature short beard.

At least it made him look more manly.

Next year is a World Cup year.

England are the reigning champions of the World Cup, and the FA will start the new season early and end earlier than usual in order to give the England national team enough time to prepare for the World Cup next summer and enough time to recover from the fatigue caused by the league before the tournament.

For example, last season's Premier League ended on May 15, and the new season will be on May 7 next year, giving England a full month to prepare!

Then the league will start as soon as possible, and on August 13, the Premier League will kick off.

Conversely, Community Shield matches will also be played earlier.

Aldridge, who returned to the club, took a look at the fitness of the whole team.

Millwall's training preparation is not ideal, it is said that it is training, under the influence of many commercial activities, how can training have good results?

To make money, and want to ensure that the competitive state is not affected, how can there be such a good thing in the world?

However, Millwall went to Asia for a lap and attracted "half a billion" pounds, at least the purpose of making money and fame was achieved, and the price paid was also rewarded.

In order to make the team in better shape for the new season, instead of rushing to play, Aldridge deliberately arranged a physical reserve training plan for the main players after returning to London, and the substitutes will be used to deal with the games at the beginning of the season.

Before the Community Shield, on the training ground of Millwall's first team, the players heckled and made a fuss about Aldrich's beard!

"Boss, are you going to act in a movie? You can play the bum! ”

"Don't listen to him, sir. The beard is very nice. How domineering! ”

"Boss. Are you ready for a handkerchief? Drink water carefully and sprinkle it on your beard! ”

In the face of the heckling players, Aldridge was not interested in responding to them.

It feels like the image building has failed.

Because his daughter Bonnie was "furious" at his beard style, crying that his father had become ugly!

This forced Aldrich to change his short beard to a "light beard" look when he returned home.

On the training ground, Aldridge crossed his arms and chatted with his fellow coaching staff.

Blanco said: "We don't need reinforcements in our squad now, as long as no players leave, but if there is, even if it's a substitute. We all need to operate quickly and in the transfer market. ”

Villas-Boas nodded in agreement: "That's right, now we can basically guarantee that there are two players in each position, one main player, one substitute, if there is any weaker link, the first is the goalkeeper position, Pagliuca decided to retire next summer, the last year, I think it is difficult to ensure his competitive condition as a substitute, but we can't jump to conclusions." The back line is perfectly fine. De Rossi and Pedretti in the midfield position have given us the depth of the squad, but Alonso is in the position. To say that Moutinho or Veloso came as a substitute I think is too risky. ”

Stramaccioni interjected at this time: "No problem, Nedved is fully qualified for that position, and it can be regarded as maximizing Nedved's role." ”

Aldridge did not express an opinion, Nedved's positioning is already a substitute, a firefighter, not staring at one position to play as a substitute, only standing behind Kaka, but will provide security for multiple positions in the team.

Villas-Boas continued: "Then there is nothing to worry about on the offensive end, there are three generations of old, middle and young, we have a lot of capital. ”

Regarding the club's introduction of Bale, the coaching staff is actually not at ease.

At least the first-team coaching staff didn't feel at ease, and it had nothing to do with how much money was spent.

It's like Moutinho and Veloso didn't spend a lot of money on Millwall, but they didn't carry much weight in the work plan, let alone Bale, who had just turned 16.

Aldridge went back to see Bale on the youth team and did something that excited Bale.

Remodel!

In the plan to focus on developing Bale, Bale will be listed as an offensive player, and how to do it will be up to the youth team's coaching staff to worry about, according to the talent shown by Bale, well, at the moment, speed is the biggest feature, so of course the wing is the mainstream choice.

During the pre-season group photo, everyone else was in position, and Aldridge stood up, facing everyone, at this time, no player would make any more noise, and everyone waited for Aldridge's official pre-season remarks with a stern face.

Aldrich, who had a beard, did not talk nonsense, and said solemnly to everyone simply and clearly: "In the new season, we want to create new history!" Truly the first in history! ”

With that, the whole team let out an exhilarating shout, and Aldrich turned and sat down.

For the current fierce lion that is unmatched, it is their urgent desire to make history as much as possible, because no one dares to pack a ticket, and if you don't fight for honor when you are at your strongest, then in the future, you may be powerless.

The world of football is a condensed version of reality, and if you miss it, you may be left with nothing but regret and no room for remedy.

Millwall are now the joint-most team to win the Champions League, and they are just one title away from becoming the only one in history!

How can you not take this earth-shattering honor?

For Aldridge, with the experience of Klinsmann leading the team to Waterloo after 02 years, he has also become selfish, painstakingly running a team that has been built for many years, perhaps for him, there are indeed not many challenges in front of him, but he is not willing to give away this "enjoyable" gain.

The Millwall first team is still on the way to "plunder", and they want to continue their "blue terror"!

Attached is Millwall's first team squad for the 2005-2006 season.

Goalkeepers: Bout, Pagliuca, Kirkland.

Defenders: Schneider, Ramos, Nesta, Silva, Barzagli, Neil, Lahm, Baines.

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

Total: 26 people. (To be continued......)
