The result of a match is within 90 minutes, but the factors that lead to this result are not all 90 minutes of play, and it may be one of the determining factors accumulated by the past history of a week, a month, or even two months before the game that affects the 90 minutes.

This is also one of the reasons why sometimes when we see two strong teams with a balanced strength, there are occasionally strong teams that seem to be in explosive form and suffer heavy defeats.

With years of experience in leading the team, Aldridge has not only watched the success or failure in 90 minutes, but also the work of preparing for a game is no longer a short cycle of a week before the game or half a month.

It will be longer, a month, two months.

The state of the team is divided into physical state and competitive state, the physiological state is scientifically analyzed by the club's medical team as a reference, and the competitive state must be adjusted by the high-level coaching team and the head coach himself.

Under normal circumstances, Henry's ability is stronger than Klose's, and the gap is one and a half levels, which means that Henry is already a first-class striker in Europe, but Klose can only be regarded as average.

When Henry's competitive state is at the "excellent" level, he may surpass Klose's two strength levels, but if Henry's competitive state is at the level of "poor", and Klose's competitive state is "excellent", maybe Klose will perform better than Henry on the court!

How to keep the players in competitive condition is a test of the manager's ability.

In the general consciousness, there is probably a hard indicator requirement for a good manager: he must keep the competitive condition of the good players all the time.

But the reality is: it can't be!

No player can be at the peak of their game for 90 minutes from start to finish. A variety of selected champions. It can't be done either.

So. In reality, those strong teams that only rely on the main 11 players to play the world seem to have a luxurious lineup, but due to the fluctuation of the players' competitive status, the probability of achieving glory is very low.

It can also be seen that many famous coaches will always make unexpected lineup adjustments during the long season, which is unexpected by the outside world: why is there an excellent player who is not injured or sick, but he is not allowed to play? Then the outside world began to wonder if there was a problem in the locker room. Whether it is the discord between the generals, whether the players are leaving the team, etc., in fact, the answer is very simple, that is, to adjust the competitive state of the players.

A veritable excellent head coach should know how to use his players flexibly, and use the strategy to help him achieve twice the result with half the effort.

That's not to say that players who are in poor form can't be used, and if that's the case, it's too rigid.

For example, Henry, who is in poor form, may be inactive in front of the defense of the top giants. But he can still be powerful in front of the defensive line of the fish belly team, because even if the form is poor. There will also be a bottom limit, and it is not that poor state will become useless.

This kind of employment strategy is similar to Tian Ji horse racing, the key is to evaluate the strength of knowing oneself and knowing the other, whether the head coach can be able to see the fire clearly, and accurately grasp the situation of the game.

Millwall's jaw-dropping record since the start of the season has a lot to do with not only on their own, but also on the schedule, which has helped the team better adjust to their competitive form.

At the beginning of the league, against Tottenham Hotspur in the middle and upper reaches, Liverpool in the middle and upper reaches, played with confidence and played the state, followed by a wave of fixtures against the middle and lower teams to maintain this state, and in October began to have a strong dialogue, this state was quickly stimulated again, and began to break out, interspersed with the league with the downstream teams can do appropriate rest and small adjustments, until the game against Manchester United has continued this state and played the most difficult limit, and the influencing factors also include many other aspects, For example, the Golden Globe Awards are stimulated.

At this time, Aldridge will not ask the team to work harder, the peak of the competitive state has reached the end of the strong crossbow, and after the dust settles on the Ballon d'Or, the physiological state of the players will also begin to decline, so he gives the players a holiday, even if the players themselves don't want it, but in the next schedule, he will still take the initiative to adjust.

As a result, he hopes to complete the team's interval by mid-February and then start the second half of the season, when the Champions League group is placed in a relatively weak group, which he doesn't think is a good thing.

As for preferring to be in the group of death, that was his joke.

At the very least, he hopes that there will be a super strong team, a first-class strong team, and a quasi-first-class team in the same group, which will be able to play better for Millwall, who can focus entirely on the Champions Cup in the second half of the season, to meet the knockout round, even if it doesn't matter if they lose in the second round of the group stage, it is better than abusing vegetables to go to the knockout round to face strong opponents.

Aldridge can't go to UEFA to ask for a new draw, or switch with other teams with more strong teams, even if the other party is willing, UEFA will not agree, and the other three teams will definitely accuse Millwall: We recruited you to provoke you? Can't get along with us? You have to be in a group with us!

The key to the next work is Aldridge's own ability and that of his colleagues.

The weekend league was at home to Derby County, and Millwall came lightly, removing a few key players and using some young players to win 2-0 against a mediocre division that had been in the upper middle of the pack last season but had fallen into relegation this season.

The 22-game winning streak across the season is coming, and at this time, the whole European football world is numb.

Brush it, brush it, and see how long Millwall can brush this record!

At night, Aldrich put on his coat and walked out of the house, walked straight to the door of the apartment opposite, and gently pressed the doorbell.

Evan, who was dressed in casual clothes at home in the winter, was surprised to see Aldrich standing in front of her door, and she quickly opened the door, a little flattered, and said, "Please come in." ”

Aldrich smiled and said, "I'm idle alone and want to go outside, do you have time to accompany me?" ”

With a look of surprise on her face, Evan turned her head and pointed to the TV in the living room, which was in the picture. The Golden Globe ceremony is being broadcast live.

"I'm sorry. Excuse me. ”

Aldrich was still smiling. Turn around and want to leave.

"Wait! I'm asking, don't you watch? ”

"Oh, you'll know the result when you get home at night."

"Then you wait for me for 5 minutes, no, 3 minutes!"

With that, Evan ran back upstairs, and after less than two minutes, he hurriedly cleaned up his appearance. Put on a snow-white coat and walk out of the house with Aldrich

At the Ballon d'Or selection site, six Millwall players attended, they sat together and became the center of attention, their suits and leather shoes were chic and handsome, and their families were also present.

Xiao Luo talked and laughed with Schneider, and his face was relaxed.

The two of them knew that they came here to join in the fun, although they were shortlisted for the squad, there were many people who were more dazzling than their stadium statistics, and today, there was also the meaning of cheering for their teammates.

The big screen is constantly showing the candidates' stadium highlights of the year. This kind of broadcast clip is the most beneficial for the attacking player or the striker. Because the most shocking thing on the field is the moment of the goal, and the others, such as the defenders and the midfielders, the goal itself is not their first priority, and it does not reflect all their talents at all.

When the final results were announced, the audience applauded.

Nedved stood up from his seat.

Millwall's second Mr. Golden Globe was born!

Nedved beat Rivaldo and David Beckham was named Ballon d'99.

Perhaps he is missing Copa America honours than Rivaldo and Champions League titles less than David Beckham.

However, the European Ballon d'Or selection also has a certain compensatory flavor in it, if it wasn't for Zidane winning the World Cup last year, how could Nedved be relegated to second place?

This year, as a midfielder, he scored more goals than Rivaldo, and the number of assists was only 6 fewer than Beckham's, and the number of goals was incomparable to Beckham's, and at the same time led Millwall to last season's double, since the beginning of this season, Millwall has become the most shining team in Europe, just breaking the record of consecutive wins in Europe's top five leagues, 22 games, this record may be broken, Nedved is indispensable.

He kissed his wife on the spot and then didn't take the stage because he hugged five other teammates in attendance.

Andriy Shevchenko, who finished sixth in the final selection, also sat not far away, and he took the initiative to stand up and congratulate his former teammate Nedved, and the two also embraced.

When Nedved stepped onto the stage, he stared at the Golden Globe in his hand for ten seconds, then looked up and smiled, but his eyes were already moist, and a tear ran down his face, which he wiped away with a smile.

'I came to London from the Czech Republic in the summer of '94 to play for Aldridge Hall's team and he said that in the future I would be a star and I believed in him, as well as my team-mates, and now, five and a half years later, here I am standing and I am grateful to my family and team-mates who have been with me until today, but, sir, I am not going to be grateful to you here, no, because you and Millwall, will always be here, forever.

Nedved held the Ballon d'Or in his left hand and his right hand on his heart.

Larsson, Ronaldo, Pirlo, Schneider, and Henry stood up and applauded, and then the audience erupted in warm applause.

In the selection, Larsson and Henry came in fourth, fifth, Ronaldo tenth, Pirlo thirteenth, and Schneider received only a pitiful number of votes, ranking twenty-fourth.

Regardless, there are four Millwall players in the top 10 and Nedved taking home the Ballon d'Or is a great harvest for Millwall.

Meanwhile, beside the River Thames, Aldrich leaned his back against the fence and looked up at the starry night sky, and Evan boldly threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly, Aldrich closed his eyes and let his fragrance linger in his nose and into his heart

Millwall has produced two Ballon d'Or in three years, with Larsson and Nedved winning the Ballon d'Or, and as many as six players shortlisted this year, led by young players such as Pirlo, Ronaldo and Thierry Henry, there is no doubt that they will also be popular candidates for the Ballon d'Or in the future.

Millwall's success on the pitch is already well known, with a reaping success in the club's youth approach and the creation of two Ballon d'Or in the form of Millwall's Leo training base, which has become known as the cradle of superstars.

At the same time, the 23-year-old young marshal Aldrich was given a new name.

Kingmaker!

The outside world began to look forward to who will be the next player who will be trained by Aldridge to step into the temple of the Ballon d'Or, there are not many candidates for the king, Ronaldinho, Henry, Pirlo, these are all ready-made candidates, and those young players who have grown steadily in the club, who dares to guarantee that they will not shine in the future?
