119 Missing Millwall

Andrea Pirlo questioned the tactics of playmaking up front and dragging down with interest, with Aldridge happy to discuss the topic with him, while other midfielders such as Ballack, Patrick Vieira, Nedved and Frank Lampard listened with interest.

The 90s was an era of organizing a blowout of the front waist, but after that, it entered a break period, and even more than ten years later, the classical front waist became extinct in Europe.

The forward waist is also keeping pace with the times, developing into a forward breakthrough goal, breaking through the strategy, no longer an offensive organization shoulder-to-shoulder, in the final analysis, it is the acceleration of the pace of the game, the speed of the players is faster, more and more attention is paid to the defense of the midfield, and the "beast waist" is popular.

The advantages of the midfield are more obvious, one is the space, which can make the excellent passer play with ease, the second is that the front court has the offensive core as a cover to attract defensive attention, which is the concealment of the attack, and the third is the control of the midfield.

Aldridge poured his knowledge into the players, hoping that they would be able to look at the midfield as a battleground from the perspective of the overall tactical situation.

At the end of the first half of the Super Bowl, the two teams were evenly matched, and at halftime, the biggest show of the Super Bowl kicked off in anticipation.

The Super Bowl halftime show is a stage where a classic is born, and the music artists who perform here are definitely the big names among the big names, and the American music scene has always been proud to win Grammy awards, but on the stage of the Super Bowl halftime show, most of the artists have already won multiple Grammy awards and are the most popular artists in the United States.

It's a pity that this year's showman, Aldrich and his team are not interested, even though Diana Rose was named the most successful female singer in history by Guinness three years ago.

Melanie looked excited, running to Aldrich's side, and singing to Rose's singing.

Aldridge felt sorry that he should have come to the United States three years to watch a Super Bowl.

Because it was superstar Michael Jackson who took the stage at the Super Bowl halftime show in '93, and the halftime show that day still holds the national ratings championship.

After the halftime show, everyone took a short break, and the Laddas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers continued to battle it out in the second half.

The lads became more attentive to the game in the second half through their familiarity with the game of rugby in the first half.

They saw that the Pittsburgh Steelers defense repeatedly limited the opponent's offense through strong running, and it was simply a steel wall in their own half, but a pass by the Steelers' super quarterback O'Donnell was intercepted by the Cowboys' cornerback and was directly counterattacked TD, and there was an exclamation in the box!

Even if they are not rugby fans, they have experienced the thrill of the passion that erupted in the field just now.

The attacker's pass was intercepted, and the defensive team ran all the way to counterattack and smashed Huanglong.

This is also very common on the football field, and this kind of mistake is made by the core of the team's organization, and there is no chance to make amends.

Aldridge smiled at the players: "I read some information before the game, Steelers quarterback O'Donnell is the player with the lowest pass interception rate in the NFL season, but his pass success rate today is obviously low, the data does not mean anything, especially can not determine the trend of the game and predict the outcome." ”

The first to start counting all kinds of boring data on the football field was the Japanese, who like to list all kinds of data of a game in football magazines, and they can't completely deny the meaning of the data, but the data can never restore the truth of the game, because football is not science.

The second half was a fever pitch and any mistake could lead to an irreversible end.

Aldridge enjoyed a textbook game.

As the battle came to an end, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17.

Just look at the post-game statistics, the Steelers' O'Donnell's passes, successes, and passing propulsion yards are higher than the Cowboys' Aikman, but Aikman is a success rate, and O'Donnell's three fatal passing errors directly led to the birth of the MVP of the game, and the Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown scored 14 points directly for the team in the second half after two successful interceptions.

When the Super Bowl ended, Aldridge left the Sun Magic Stadium with a satisfied team and went straight to the airport and rushed back to London.

It was Monday morning when they returned to London, and the players slept honestly for six or seven hours on the plane, then went home in the morning to rest for a while, and in the afternoon the team got on the bus and went straight to the riverside stadium, the new stadium that Middlesbrough opened this season.

The game was played in the evening, with the players arriving early to acclimatise to the pitch and the physiotherapists who arrived with the squad were at Middlesbrough's home stadium to help relax their muscles and soothe their muscles.

Aldridge walked up and down the pitch, and the players were probably a little tired from the exhaustion, but at least they were in good spirits, and there was always a happy smile on their faces when they chatted with each other.

There is a delicate relationship between the spirit and the body, sometimes even if the body is full of energy, but the spirit is sluggish, I am afraid that people are also ineffective, and Aldridge has always believed that the decisive factor of a player's combat effectiveness is the mental attribute, the body is the basic equipment for explosive combat power, as long as it is not overtired and crushes the body, then the mental state is the first thing to consider.

Middlesbrough, who are also promoted and have an impressive season under Brian Robson, are at least far out of the relegation zone and should be relegated with just 13 more points left in the league with 14 games remaining.

Millwall didn't hold a regular pre-game press conference yesterday, which drove Fleet Street crazy.

They have always liked to follow the teams in focus, and they will also follow the midweek training, but from the day of the FA Cup on Tuesday to the league break on Monday, Millwall's training ground was empty, and reporters saw the deserted scene outside the training ground, thinking that the financial turmoil had swept by, and Millwall had run away in debt from top to bottom.

They searched in many ways and dug deeply, but they didn't know where Millwall had gone.

Overnight, Millwall's first-team coaches and players all went missing.

Even when they went to the players' apartments to squat for a while, they didn't get anything, and there were free tabloids distributed on the street to attract attention and shout: The supernatural incident in East London, Millwall disappeared en masse!

And on match day, Millwall landed on the Riverside Stadium and scared everyone.

Because they didn't go back to the training base, they came directly to report on the away game.

When the game was about to start, in the packed riverside stadium, Aldridge sat in the coach's seat and was feeling the comfort of the new stadium seats, he had been circling his own new stadium plan in his mind, and now sitting in someone else's new stadium, he naturally had to feel it, so that he had a psychological expectation, if he was not satisfied, he would have to make detailed requirements with the contractor in the future.

Brian Robson took the initiative to come over, Aldridge looked up when his vision was blocked, saw Robson, and smiled: "Congratulations, we have all succeeded in relegation!" ”

Robson smiled and shook Aldridge's hand as he stood up, and asked, "Where has Millwall been lately?" ”

"Huh?"

"These days the newspapers say Millwall is missing."

"Oh, I gave the players a holiday, I have too many foreign players in my team, they are not used to not having a holiday in winter."

"Didn't you come back like that last year in League One?"

"Alas, you can't say that, this kind of thing is not experienced once, and the next time you can completely deal with it, it's a bit like a conditioned reflex, and at that stage, it's natural to be psychologically unbalanced."

"You also study psychology when you manage a team?"

"Of course I want to, didn't people bring a psychiatrist to Brazil's World Cup?"

"Ha Luha, is it to evaluate Bailey as naΓ―ve, and Garrincha is a mentally handicapped psychiatrist?"

Aldridge and Robson laughed loudly in unison, the two coaches had a very pleasant conversation on the sidelines, and the live camera was naturally aimed at the two, Robson's Premier League season coaching debut was successful, Aldridge's Premier League first season was undoubtedly amazing, both of them are the focus of the Premier League team managers this season, and it is also a major discovery in English football, and some media will look forward to whether the two will coach the England national team in the future.

For the manager, the league is a small river, where there will be like-minded friends and rivals, and the lone wanderer who is above others will also become the focus, but will not be able to integrate into the mainstream.

Aldridge has a lot of friends, even if it is Nottingham Forest coach Clarke, who gave him the first defeat of the season, the two can talk very happily after the game, and his enemies are also very clear, Redknapp is one of them, Keegan also does not deal with him, he shows a very clear position in front of the public, no matter how the outside world interprets him as a person, in short, he will not be included in the category of the crowd, especially not the manager who is not in the Premier League.

When the game started, Aldridge sat in the coach's box, he didn't demand much from the game, the players played normally, just played as the tactics required, what he didn't tell the players was: it didn't matter if you won or lost.

He thinks so, but he doesn't necessarily tell the players.

In this game, he asked his players not to pursue a fast pace, because they had just returned from a long journey, controlled by constant passing, retreated a little in formation, and slowly sought attacking opportunities from the midfield.

Middlesbrough held a draw at the Lion's Den in the first half of the season, when they gritted their teeth for points, and now they are a little relaxed, after all, it is their home field, ugly stubborn defense, and naturally can't hang on face, so they have vigorously erected the offensive flag.

Aldridge was overjoyed by the players' condition on the pitch in this game, they were more calm and confident, with a temperament that controlled the game, and there was a killing intention in the unhurriedness.

Middlesbrough played very tenacious.

Pirenet's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper and Larsson opened the scoring with a follow-up shot.

Twenty minutes later, Middlesbrough equalised from a corner.

In the second half, Nedved played a clever pass to Trezeguet, who volleyed home the near corner to give the team the lead again.

In stoppage time, Schneider's free-kick was blocked, and Stam's header from inside the box sealed the win.

Millwall won comfortably in their first league game after a break from Middlesbrough.
