Klose, Duff and Van der Meyde stood beside Aldridge, and through the half-court offensive and defensive match of his teammates, Aldridge began to explain Millwall's football philosophy to them.

In the beginning, the attacking side was six and the defending side was five, and the attacking team easily scored a goal and won a point through the combination of crosses and cuts.

Then, the attacker takes one player and becomes 5 to 5, and then the attacker scores again, and then the attacker takes another player down, making it 4 to 5.

"In the 90 minutes of the game, there are changes in the number of local players in each attack, and it is impossible to equal or dominate the number of attackers and defenders each time, so in training, you must learn to be flexible and adaptable to the football thinking, no matter how many teammates there are around, you must have a good heart and know how to play."

"But now there are only two strikers on the field."

Klose was very interested in this kind of training and found it novel.

There were only four players on the attacking side, Pirlo, Nedved, Trezeguet, Shevchenko.

Aldrich crossed his arms around his chest and motioned for them to look.

Defensively, it's a back four plus a midfielder, a combination of substitute lineups.

Mills, Ferdinand, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso.

In the previous 6 to 5, the attacking side also had Ballack and Glen Char, 5 to 5, Ballack went off the field, and after scoring again, Glen Charles also withdrew.

When the attackers were dominant or equal, the attackers played freely with the ball and quickly scored.

When numbers don't prevail, their style of play changes.

This will test the player's ability to control the ball, as well as to stand and run without the ball.

Trezeguet runs back and forth between the two centre-backs. Immediately after receiving the pass, he started pulling and looking for opportunities. Shevchenko interspersed back and forth in front of the back line. When Trezeguej pulled on the side, Shevchenko also switched to the central striker position, and Nedved's movement covered almost all areas, allowing him to play on Andrea Pirlo while also getting straight into the box as he moved forward.

The three rookies were dazzled, and they didn't think Nedved played well before they were superior in numbers, but when they were not superior in numbers, the four of them had a reasonable division of labor. The sense of hierarchy is clear, not only the players run without the ball to pull the space, but also form a tacit understanding with their teammates in the selection of running routes, and they patiently and intelligently look for every trace of back-up defense.

"If you need to strengthen the players' individual breakthrough ability, then the game will be played on a smaller field, and the number of attackers will be three, and the defense will still be five."

As Aldridge spoke, Pirlo's through into the box was intercepted by Rio Ferdinand, who played the ball to Zambrotta on the wing.

Shevchenko immediately went to grab Zambrotta, who played the ball. As a result, the ball was cut off by Nedved on the path of the roll towards Gattuso.

"It's a game that trains not only different numbers of attackers, but also counter-attacking after conceding a goal. And a system has to be formed, for example, just now, Shevchenko's counter-attack was unsuccessful, but he forced Zambrotta to have the ball at the first time, if that picture can be frozen, you will find that Zambrotta has Shevchenko in front of him, it is dangerous to pass the ball to the middle, and Trezeguet is pressing the back line, Zambrotta has to play the ball, his choice is to give the ball to Gattuso, and there, Nedved is waiting for him, this is a successful local defense system. ”

"What then?"

'There's a lot of options, the two centre-backs come back at once, Zambrotta can pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, or if he has more vision, he can just go to the other wing, where Mills is unmarked. In the game, most players will directly clear the siege when they encounter his situation, I do not deny that this is an option, but it is certainly not a good choice, especially blindly clearing, once the opponent organizes a secondary attack, but the defensive formation on his side has not been reasonably arranged, but it is dangerous. ”

After Nedved made a successful steal, he handed the ball to Trezeguet, who was successfully pressed against offside at the backline, and while Aldridge spoke, Trezeguet easily scored the ball.

"Hey, Leo, Marco, you were slack?!"

Aldridge smiled and shouted at the two centre-backs.

The two rubbed their heads helplessly, and Zambrotta raised his hand to apologize to his teammates.

Everyone has a relaxed mentality, and they can't help but slack off.

Changed the mid-season training, Aldridge will definitely criticize them mercilessly, the defenders are relieved after the successful defense, this is a very dangerous mentality, we must be wary of the opponent's counterattack after the success of the rapid launch of the second attack, this offense is more deadly, this kind of confrontation in the number of offensive and defensive sides of the number of constantly changing, so that the players' playing thinking will not be rigid, the situation is also changing rapidly, if you want to strengthen defensive training, you will remove more defensive players, so that the players learn 4 defense 5, 4 defense 6, 3 defense 4, 2 defense 3, or even 2 defense 4, 3 defense 5 This kind of direct test of position selection awareness, tacit understanding, and the confrontation of defensive ability.

Klose was excited, he saw a lot of things that he didn't see in amateur teams, like the running of Trezeguet and Shevchenko.

This ability to run without the ball has been trained for at least a season or two, rather than just running blindly and not observing the movement of teammates.

Aldridge beckoned Ballack, who was not far away, to add to the defensive team.

Now it's 4 to 6.

After Ballack came on the field, he resisted Pirlo in the opposite position, so that he could not calmly organize the attack, the six-man defense after the contraction of the defensive formation was arranged and the system was layered and systematic, and the four-man group on Pirlo's side could not organize an effective attack, Nedved broke through Gattuso with the ball and was cut off by Materazzi at the right time, the four quickly counterattacked, but the defensive team with more routes firmly controlled the ball, and after a smooth large-scale transfer, successfully passed the ball ten times and won the game.

"Do you want to go up and try it?"

Aldridge asked the three rookies with a smile.

All three nodded their heads to show their hands.

Aldridge put Van der Meyde on the pitch first to add to the attacking team, which became 5 to 6.

Donny van der Meyde came on as a left winger. After his first catch, he wanted to show off his footwork. But before he could finish his escape move, he was squeezed out of his position by Mills. Losing control of the ball, the defenders quickly kicked the ball and after ten passes, the victory was in hand.

Van der Meyde looked depressed, and Mills spread his hands helplessly.

He felt that this Dutchman was too soft.

One defender was removed and Gattuso came down to rest.

Continue 5 dozen 5.

Van der Meyde's performance was terrible, even though he was evenly matched, but he wanted to express himself too much. And five seconds after winning the ball on the wing, he must have conceded the ball, and even if he stopped, Mills would block his path and pass the ball.

For a while, the old teammates felt that this Dutch kid was too weak!

Nedved and Trezeguet took the initiative to help him on the left, revealing Van der Meyde's lack of running awareness.

Duff and Klose also went up and tried it out, but the three rookies were disappointed and their confidence was greatly damaged.

Even Klose, who was tall and lanky, was knocked down by Materazzi.

If you use a 10-point scale to score three people.

All three of them scored between 4 and 6 points for their technical ability.

The body and team spirit may not even be 3 points.

"Don't be discouraged, you are not yet 20 years old. There is naturally a gap with them in terms of ability. ”

Aldrich smiled and comforted the three who were very hurt inside, and more. If these three are excellent, will it be Millwall's turn to make a move?

Klose pointed at Trezeguet and said, "But he doesn't look much older than me." ”

Aldrich laughed: "Hehe, he will be 20 years old in three months." He's stronger than you, he's doing so well, talent is only one aspect, but the most important thing is that he's been training here diligently for the last three years, and if you look at the other players, are they all in great shape? ”

The three looked at the other players, Nedved, Schneider, Ballack, Lampard, Vanney, Shevchenko and other players, if Millwall is not a football club, they can definitely go to the group to participate in the male model selection.

"When they take off their clothes, you will find that not only do they have no fat on their bodies, but they also have clear and beautiful muscles. The club introduced a scientific physical training mechanism two years ago, and the coaching team sends people abroad every year to learn and exchange physical training methods, and their efforts and scientific training methods have made them stronger than the average player, and you can do it in the future. ”

On the first day of training, these three players had a more detailed understanding of Millwall, and also realized the gap between themselves and the team, Aldridge did not play a score to give them a beating, but let them recognize the reality early, and let them calm down and try to catch up with their teammates.

Xiao Luo suddenly ran to Aldridge's side and asked with a smile: "Boss, when will I make my Premier League debut?" ”

Aldrich turned his head to look at the sweaty Brazilian boy with a strange look and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Tell me, I'm so prepared."

"Are you ready? You're mistaken, it's not that you're not prepared, it's that I said you can't do it, I don't think you can do it, I won't give you time to prepare, you have to give it to me! ”

"That's right, that's right, you told me to go up, I'm definitely on it! So when is it on? ”

Aldridge rubbed his chin and said, "What were your stats in the youth team last season?" ”

Xiao Luo blurted out: "21 goals and 18 assists." ”

"Okay, when you can play double 20+ results in the reserves, I'll let you play in the Premier League."

"Huh?!"

Xiao Luo was dumbfounded, and then became anxious, and asked, "What are you doing?" I played in the FA Cup final a few months ago! ”

Aldridge said earnestly: "That's different, when you go up, we play one more person, and the score is ahead." If you think that the level of the youth league can be directly equated with the Premier League, it is that you have not woken up yet. Let's go to the reserve team and see how you perform, if you don't perform well in the kind of training games in the reserves, how can I let you play in the Premier League? Andre scored 19 goals in 20 games for the reserve team the year before, don't you have confidence in yourself? ”

Xiao Luo was a little lost, but he quickly cheered up, pointed at Aldrich and shouted in a somewhat arrogant tone: "You wait! Double 20+ is double 20+! I can do it in less than half a year! ”

Aldridge shrugged and said: "Goals and assists are just as important. ”

Ronaldo turned to the reserve coach Capo and asked about the list of players in the reserve squad for the new season.

When he learned that there would often be players in the development squad such as Frank Lampard, Gattuso, Rio Ferdinand, Glen Schal, Ronaldo was even more confident.

It's not at all the same level as the youth team-mates.

"Boss, I was wrong! Trimester! I can do it in three months! ”

Aldrich laughed.

If Xiao Luo thinks that the level of the reserve league is not high, it is a big mistake, if it is a reserve team game at the level of League One, it is not enough, but the reserve team at the Premier League level is a field where a group of substitute players from first-line professional clubs work hard to get into the squad for the game, and there are many stars who have recovered from injury in the game, which is equivalent to the competition between the two teams of the Premier League club, and the intensity is sometimes stronger than that of the Premier League, because everyone has to fight for the right position.

He's going to have to get his ground there to be in the squad. (To be continued......)
