By the end of the first half, the Japanese fans had forgotten how disappointed they had been before the game.

The game was more exciting than they expected.

Millwall played extremely resolute in every attack, especially at the end of the first half, and the modern winger's Maverick style of play easily won applause.

Ribery's scarred face may still be a little intimidating.

But Ronaldo, the kid, representing Millwall's junior team, came off the bench in the Toyota Cup last year, and before that, he made a deep impression on Japanese fans, and as far as the outside world knows, this Portuguese kid is the most high-profile talent of Millwall's new generation, and in a few months, he will be 17 years old, as a genius, it is time to shine.

And Kaka, a Brazilian, was cheered by Japanese fans, excluding the humanistic ties between Japan and Brazil, Kaka's own image and style of play are also easier to like.

Youngster Villa scored two goals and his reputation has risen from a low point this season, but he is now recognised as an indispensable substitute for Millwall.

Aldrich also felt that time passed so fast.

I think that when I came to Japan for the first time to play the Toyota Cup, Ronaldo, Alonso, and Villa, these young players were only members of the youth team and the youth team.

After 15 minutes of the second half, Aldridge replaced Villa with Wayne Rooney.

Bianchi watched from the sidelines.

Millwall is taking Boca Juniors to brush up on experience!

But he had nowhere to put out the fire.

Boca Juniors made the game simpler, they were two goals behind, they could only let go, Millwall did not have to deliberately pursue the swing of the modern winger in the second half, just play the most primitive counterattack, using Ronaldo and Ribery on the wing, Rooney and Kaka in the middle of the match, the attacking point is comprehensive, and the position is also layered.

Aldridge does not move the line. and targeted to limit Riquelme, Boca Juniors put a lot of troops into the attack, but they can't play much threat, after all, they are also playing in an offensive way that they are not good at, to put it bluntly, Riquelme's core role is missing, and their teammates don't know how to play. The offensive means are monotonous.

Villas-Boas watched the game in the dugout with great concentration, and he now habitually took a notebook to record the information that inspired him on the field.

In the preparation of the investigation of the opponent, Boas rated Riquelme as the most threatening, but the player he saw as the most dangerous player could not show his strength on the field, and Riquelme was limited last year. I thought that after a year, he was a year older, more experienced, and more capable, and should have improved, but I didn't expect the result to be the same.

"Jensen, what do you think a player like Riquelme should change? in order to be in line with the exhibition trend of European football. ”

Boas asked the doubts in his mind.

Jenson thought for a moment and said: "This topic, I discussed it with Aldridge ten years ago, when he foresaw that this kind of pure organization forward will gradually decrease in Europe, or even disappear, I didn't believe it at the time, now look at the lineup of the major European giants, I have to admire Aldridge's foresight." As for how to show this kind of player, the experience of these years tells me. It should be three aspects, first, like Pirlo, the front midfield, such as today's game, if Riquelme is organized from the back to the midfield area, he will definitely be very relaxed. Because it is impossible for Alonso and Gattuso to rush to the front to mark him closely, exposing the space behind him, but this is not Riquelme's habit of playing. Second, like Ronaldinho. You also know that Ronaldinho's position and role in our team is very special, the winger is not like a winger, the forward is not like the front midfield, but the organizational threat behind his pull is far stronger than in the forward position, the outside world says that Millwall's front is Nedved, in fact, I think it is wrong, Nedved is our shadow striker, Ronaldinho is our forward midfielder, we are the front and rear double core, close to the opponent's goal has Ronaldinho, far away from Pirlo, can play a threat in all directions when instigating the attack, Activates every point of attack. Third, it depends on the player's own transformation, such as becoming more balanced in attack and defense, but this transformation will be very dangerous, and if it is not done well, it will be mediocre. ”

Like a good student, Boas hurriedly recorded Jensen's words in his notebook.

In the process of observing the game, in the case of contrast, he did notice the disadvantage of Riquelme's classical striker.

After Riquelme conceded the goal, Millwall could quickly organize a counterattack, because Riquelme's defensive awareness and ability made his ability to counter-attack on the spot unable to achieve the tactical purpose of delaying the opponent's attack.

On the contrary, after Millwall lost the ball, Kaka, Ronaldo, and Ribery all quickly counterattacked, and whether they succeeded in grabbing or not is secondary, at least three people have a degree, even if they foul, they also make the opponent unable to form the most threatening counterattack at the first time, and the degree is what Riquelme lacks, in other words, Alonso ran two steps forward with the ball, and Riquelme basically didn't chase.

In the case of faster and faster pace of the game, Riquelme's sense of storage is getting weaker and weaker, the British team's defense is good at close pressing, and will not give you an easy ball, turn, observe the shape shì, and slowly organize the time and space for the offensive transmission, Veron can not play at Manchester United and is dismissed as a parallel import, in addition to the cultural conflict can not be integrated into the environment, its characteristics are difficult to gain a foothold in the UK is also one of the reasons.

In the 79th minute of the second half, Ronaldo scored Millwall's third goal with a header from Ribery's diagonal long pass in the penalty area.

Aldridge turned and walked back to the dugout, allowing Ramor and De Rossi to warm up and get ready for the pitch.

In recent years, with the influence of the post-Bosman law era has become more and more extensive, South America has become a selection talent base in Europe, South America can not retain good players, some geniuses have just turned 18 years old and directly ascended to 6 Europe, especially now in the context of the huge difference in income between South American and European players, the strength of Boca Juniors has decreased compared with last year, Riquelme is limited, Tevez is not stable, and the team's skills and tactics are gradually out of touch with the times.

Fortunately, it is not worth the trip to allow young people to experience big scenes and accumulate experience.

At the end of the match, Aldridge got up and shook hands with Bianchi again, this time. Bianchi stopped him and chatted for a long time.

The governor and the young marshal calmly exchanged game experiences on the sidelines, Aldrich did not have any shelves, and he had no intention of celebrating this Toyota Cup, so he chatted with Bianchi a lot without hiding his selfishness.

Exchanges between managers are secret and are largely not revealed to the public.

Speaking of Riquelme. Aldridge was blunt: "He's a good player, he's got players who can reach a master's level, but he's never going to fit Millwall's selection criteria, we don't need a player like him because his value is in Millwall's system. It can be a negative effect. ”

Speaking of Tevez, Aldridge is full of appreciation.

"Tevez has a lot of potential, physicality and technical ability, and if he can improve steadily, he can shine in the European giants in the future."

Bianchi also talked a lot with Aldridge on a tactical level, but Aldridge felt it was a bit of a waste of time.

It's not that the other side can't listen to them, but the football environment in South America is very different from that in Europe. Europe pays attention to tactical discipline, South America is open and free, if the football soil of South America becomes like Europe, I am afraid that most of South America's talents will die in the cradle.

Bianchi lost to Aldridge for the second time, and he had no complaints, this time it was a convincing defeat.

He also praised Aldridge and Millwall in an interview after the game.

In this Toyota Cup, the young marshal and the governor left a heroic story.

Villa scored two goals and became the best player in the final. Got a Toyota.

Millwall was ready to return to London after the award ceremony.

The Eurasian span is too long, the journey is relatively expensive, and there is a jet lag when it comes back, so Millwall has to race against time to return to the league in the best condition to challenge Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Before leaving Japan, Aldridge received another phone call from FA president Thompson.

"Aldrich, you can get the team back to London first. You're going to stay in Asia for three more days, AFC, FIFA, South Korea. The Japanese organizers hope that you will be there and give them a cheer. ”

After the FA president experienced a near-falling out with Aldridge on the phone half a year ago, he can be regarded as putting himself in the right position.

Aldridge is red and purple, and is the most popular head coach in England, helping the England team soar to the World Cup, he has been in office for more than a year, improving the national team's brand, image, economic benefits, influence and attention, which are incomparably huge.

Whoever Thompson offends now will not offend Aldridge.

The draw for the group stage of the World Cup will be held in three days, not far from Japan, in South Korea, if Aldridge leaves today, it will definitely be impossible to fly from London to South Korea, Thompson wants to take this opportunity to keep Aldridge in Asia, let him attend the draw ceremony, not only to enhance the diplomatic image, but also to make the England delegation beautiful.

England are not seeded, but they can certainly be the most eye-catching in Aldridge's presence.

"Mr. President, the contract I signed with the FA is very clear, my national team work, not affect my work at the club first, although attending the World Cup draw ceremony is my job as the national team manager, but considering that it is now the club league period, I still have to focus on the club work, sorry, I am going back to London."

"Well, well, goodbye, then."

Thompson hung up in disappointment.

He really thinks Aldrich is a wonder, obviously a good opportunity to show his face on the world stage, but he doesn't want to!

Aldrich got on the plane back to London and sat alone in the corner with his eyes closed.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

The World Cup, the World Cup, I think it's far away, but the reality is close at hand.
