Aldridge has developed a habit of building or renovating a team step by step.
He will not make major changes to the team suddenly, especially for the veteran players. He hopes to make a mental transition first and not let everything happen that is too impactful to the players to avoid it being difficult for the players to accept it.
Take the training of players as an example. Before the reserve team, they practice skills, and the reserve team begins to practice tactics. Before the age of 21, they focus on football skills training. From the age of 21 to 24, they focus on strengthening physical fitness and accumulating experience in the same period. All of this, Millwall
You have your own faction internally,
From top to bottom, it is easy to master, and there is no point where you will be confused in any job. Only for special talented players, tailor-made growth training plans will be developed, such as Ronaldo and Messi. The former has stronger physical fitness, and the latter
The latter is due to the impact of congenital disease.
In terms of the transformation of veteran players, Larsson has set an example, and Nedvěd is also on this track. Southgate's unexpected incident directly disrupted the plan. As for Henry, it is not yet time to give way.
, but after all, Aldrich needs to vaccinate Henry in advance so that he can be mentally prepared.
This is a transition, and I hope to achieve a perfect transition in a subtle way.
Millwall is a team with many offensive flourishes, but it is not a team where everyone has the right to fire. On the front line, the first right to fire on the offensive end definitely belongs to Henry.
But with the current lineup, it is conceivable that the right to fire first in the future will belong to Ronaldo. From now on, if everything goes well, Messi will also enter the competition.
To put it bluntly, the next crown prince at the core of the striker is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo. Henry will give way to Cristiano Ronaldo.
But in terms of time, Aldridge estimates that it will be after one season, that is, it will take more than a year for Ronaldo to truly become the core of the striker.
During this period of time, although Henry still occupies the core position, he must consciously support Ronaldo, not to mention assisting Ronaldo, because Henry is still the core, so Aldrich mentioned a word: sacrifice.
When the situation is good, there are more opportunities, and the game environment allows, Henry makes some sacrifices to give Ronaldo more opportunities to perform, allowing Ronaldo to find the feeling of a "goal-scoring machine", or to catalyze Ronaldo's growth.
This is not to deny Henry's future in the club, but to position his role on the court. Now he is the main player and Ronaldo is the assistant. In the future, the roles of the two need to be reversed.
When the team celebrated the success of winning and defending the championship, Henry did not expect that Aldrich would talk to him about such a topic.
Henry was always calm in front of Aldrich, and even when he smiled, he looked shy and restrained, because he respected Aldrich from the bottom of his heart.
Although Aldrich and he were the same age, the outside world said that Aldrich was his mentor, and he never felt any problem.
It was Aldridge who transformed him from a winger into a world-class center that made Europe tremble. It was also under Aldridge's leadership that his club career has been extremely brilliant. So far, he has won four Champions Leagues. Counting this year's league, the Premier League alone
There are six champions.
Not counting the past four times being elected as the Premier League top scorer, the European Golden Boot, the Golden Ball and other honors.
If someone else were to talk to him about such a topic, he would definitely be angry, because it seems to be saying: You are no longer good, and someone else needs to replace you!
However, Henry did not feel dissatisfied with Aldrich at all. He would think from Aldrich's point of view.
Millwall, a world-class club.
Arguably the strongest team in the world!
Including the competitive strength of the national team.
In such a team, many talents have been drained of their blood and cannot make a difference here.
What about the players in the main position?
Ordinary clubs, even wealthy teams lower than Millwall, their players may be able to play the main team for ten years, because the players always seem to be very strong, but in fact?
Manchester United's Keane is old, but Keane still plays the main role. The negative impact is that it drags down the overall strength.
In order to maintain competitiveness and make the team stronger, Millwall does not have to introduce new players. Only strength is the main criterion!
What Henry can understand is that in Aldrich's eyes, it is clear at a glance how Ronaldo will be in two years and himself will be in two years.
Because Henry is getting older day by day, starting from his peak and entering the later stage of his career, and Ronaldo is definitely heading towards his peak!
Henry is confident that his condition will not plummet all of a sudden, but it is inevitable that he will attract attention on the court and easily become the opponent's first marking and killing target. Therefore, the performance and contribution he can make may increase over time.
Getting smaller and smaller, especially if he is still the core of the striker.
Therefore, he must give up his position and start mentally preparing himself. In the future, when the new king takes over, if he can still play the main force, he will be the main force. If there are other players in the team who are stronger than him, then he will naturally have to retreat to the second line.
This is not because Aldridge is unkind, but because the competition in football itself is very cruel.
Facing his mentor who had given him almost everything, Henry, after a period of reflection, gave Aldrich a very simple answer: "Boss, I listen to you in everything."
Aldrich smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "I think you have a big heart, so I'm telling you this in advance. In fact, the future is still far away. Let's focus on the present first. Are you ready? King of Killers
, there is still a Champions League championship waiting for us this season! In a week, the Serie A giants known as concrete defense will come to London, haha."
Henry shrugged and curled his lips and said: "In these years, there is no city gate that we cannot break."
Aldrich looked up to the sky and laughed.
...
The Premier League title race is over, and the decisive battle between Millwall and Chelsea has become the focus of attention in England and even Europe the next day.
Among them, some Millwall fans hired planes to fly over Stamford Bridge, and some fans rushed to the pitch to humiliate Chelsea players and grabbed headlines.
But the most shocking result was Millwall's two-goal defeat of Chelsea.
In an exceptionally good season for Chelsea, they still failed to win the league title.
With hindsight, Fleet Street naturally placed the blame on Chelsea's two home and away games against Millwall, which saw them lose 6 points.
If Chelsea can draw with Millwall in both games, then there is only a 2-point gap between the two teams in the standings. If they can win one and draw one, the points will be the same. If Chelsea can win both games, then conversely,
They will be 4 points ahead of Millwall.
The cruelty of the Premier League competition makes the outside world feel scared, and also makes the media lament that Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool have completely derailed. They are too far away from the top of the list, and even Chelsea, who is destined to win the runner-up, seems out of reach.
With the league title already secured, Millwall began to shift all its focus to the Champions League.
In the penultimate round of the league, Millwall faced Newcastle United at home. Aldridge sent out a full substitute lineup to allow the main players to recharge their batteries.
At the same time, in this round of Serie A, Juventus and AC Milan battled fiercely at San Siro. This is the battle of the King of Heaven in the final stage of Serie A this season!
Lion King Stadium.
The atmosphere of the home team fans was high, and it seemed that their attention was not on the field from the beginning. They sang songs to their heart's content, praising the greatness of the team and praising the team's heroes, of course the King Aldridge here is indispensable.
Newcastle United went through a coaching change at the beginning of this season. The previous coach Bobby Robson retired honorably. The Magpies he led had their second peak performance in the Premier League after Kevin Keegan. Unfortunately, it is not what it used to be.
, the old coach tried his best, but he couldn't get Newcastle United into the Champions League. The competitive strength of Newcastle United is indeed too far behind that of the giants.
This season's head coach Sansones led Newcastle United, which seemed to have brought the Magpies back to before liberation. It was not until the penultimate round that they ensured their success in relegation!
Millwall has just secured its title defense, and Newcastle United has just secured its relegation success. This battle is being held at the Lion King Stadium. It is conceivable that Newcastle United's players are not interested in playing, while Millwall's substitutes are
I am in high spirits and hope to show my face more at the end of the season and show myself more on the court.
Newcastle United had little resistance. In the 32nd minute of the game, Larsson, who started as the center forward today, acted as the fulcrum of the forward line and made a wonderful pass to the young Messi, who quickly entered the penalty area.
ribs, but calmly kicked the ball past the opponent
The defensive player unexpectedly accelerated towards the goal. When the goalkeeper just abandoned the goal, Messi could not see any obvious shooting action, but Messi shot the ball towards the goal, and the goalkeeper lay down to block it.
Obviously slower, the ball rolled past him and then into the goal!
"Look at this little elf's performance. He is simply the second Ronaldinho. The perfect combination of man and ball is amazing! It's as if the ball is stuck to his feet, and his explosive speed is also unforgettable.
In the moment of sudden stop and turn, Newcastle
The tall defender of the United team was so shaken that he fell to the ground in a panic. His name is Messi, the representative of Millwall's new generation of genius, and he is not yet 18 years old! With such a talented player in the team, no wonder even the "Times" is lamenting
:Millwall will dominate UEFA
This era of the world! In the past, Ajax was dismembered by European giants because of the birth of Bosman's Law. Millwall faced the impact of gold and dollar capital and experienced difficulties. However, after still achieving strong success this season,
Their image and influence as a wealthy club have been further improved. No one will doubt that they will be the kings of this era! Millwall fans are so happy. They can appreciate the best coaches and players in the world here.
Perform for them!"
Messi has played 13 times for the first team this season, half as a starter and half as a substitute, most of them in cup games. Counting today, he has scored 5 goals and assisted 3, and his efficiency is amazing.
The first-team players are also familiar with him and admire his talent. Everyone has a hunch that this little guy will be one of the indispensable core forces of Millwall in the future. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature and Novels. Better updates faster!
