Millwall's strong momentum in the second half of this season is also related to the fact that the national teams in European football are fully preparing for the World Cup and will not overuse players on FIFA match days. Like Sweden and the Czech Republic, which have already entered the World Cup, Aldridge and
Their national team coaches communicated privately to ensure that the players have more
They have to use their energy to participate in the World Cup in the summer. When the national team has already qualified, they try to reduce the players' consumption as much as possible in the first half of the FIFA match days, which are mostly friendly matches. The national team coach is also very understanding and even uses training as an excuse.
Nedved and Larsson were not called up for FIFA match days in February.
Millwall defeated Barcelona at home. Although they were only in the top 16, the media said that this Millwall team dominated Europe and was unstoppable!
On March 9, Millwall paid a return visit to Catalonia and ended with a 1:1 match against Barcelona in the 90th minute at Camp Nou. The total score was 5:2 and they successfully advanced to the top 8 of the Champions League.
The confrontation between Aldridge and Black Swan Rijkaard in the Champions League was more like a battle between competitors in the same style. Aldridge was too far ahead and Rijkaard was unable to catch up.
This is different from the war between Aldridge and Mourinho. The style is different, and the suspense factors are more complicated and unquantifiable.
Although in the 5 Premier League games from the end of February to the whole of March, Millwall achieved 4 wins and 1 draw, still remained unbeaten, and once again widened the gap with Chelsea, increasing its advantage by 1 point. Chelsea also
With 4 wins and 1 loss, they maintained a good momentum, but felt helpless against the super stable Millwall.
But Aldrich's mood became a little worse, even irritable.
Ronaldinho's condition began to decline. He became tired more and more easily on the court. Ronaldinho's inability to continue fighting made Aldrich realize that Ronaldinho's decline has become an inevitable reality.
Millwall did not do a good job in physical reserves in the summer of the new season, but the team sacrificed the league at the beginning of the season to make up for this. At the same time, the substitutes played a huge role in the rotation. Among the main players, only Ronaldinho was exposed.
Apart from obvious problems such as the decline in sustained combat capability, lack of endurance, and unsustainable stamina, it is obviously Ronaldinho's personal problem.
Aldridge didn't want to force Ronaldinho. He simply gave him more time to rest. In the past, he was used close to one game a week, but now it has been adjusted to an average of one game every 10 days. Aldridge really can't "tolerate" seeing him.
Ronaldinho is spending more and more "walking time" on the pitch.
Perhaps this is because there was a time when things were difficult, Ronaldinho was used to being omnipotent in controlling the game, and when he started to show his mediocre side, no one could stand it, but they couldn't bear to be harshly criticized.
So Aldrich was honest with him.
If you go out to play, I need you to give it your all!
Your physical recovery is not ideal, we will not discuss this issue!
I will give you more rest time. Either you will not appear, or you will show your best condition and attitude when you appear!
In a contrasting environment, Ronaldinho saw that his teammates around him were full of energy and had tremendous endurance on the court, but he began to decline. He himself also had troubles and helplessness. Aldrich's conversation with him lasted as long as
More than 2 hours, calmly and objectively
Analyzing the reason for this phenomenon is the negative impact of Ronaldinho's off-field nightlife since he was 18 years old. Even if he is restraining and restraining, it is hard to get back. Today, when ordinary players should reach their peak, he starts at his peak.
decline.
Aldridge naturally considered the team, and Ronaldinho accepted Aldridge's suggestion. Although Ronaldinho was still the main player, his playing time began to decrease.
For almost a month and a half, the league has been able to maintain its previous momentum, which is inseparable from the outstanding performance of Ronaldo, Kaká and Villa.
A new round of healthy competition within the Millwall team has also begun.
The battle of kings!
Who will be the man to carry the flag for Millwall in the near future?
The outside world will compare Villa, Kaká and Ronaldo with each other and argue with each other, but at the same time, some media point out that Millwall is more terrifying!
In the FA Cup quarter-finals on March 24, Millwall directed another massacre!
Sweeped Middlesbrough 6:0!
In the game, Messi scored a hat trick, Aguero came off the bench and scored a goal, Moutinho scored four assists, and Veloso performed well on both offense and defense.
Millwall's substitute lineup, which includes Larsson, Glenjar, and Nedved, has also grown at a terrifying rate this season.
On the front line, the Argentinian twins of Messi and Aguero, and the Portuguese midfielders of Moutinho and Veloso. They are all U20 players, plus Ramos is in the first team, and Schneider is
When he was injured this month, he came on as a replacement and performed very amazingly.
While people focus on Cristiano Ronaldo, Millwall's younger generation is ready to emerge under the training of Aldridge!
After defeating Barcelona in the top 16 of the Champions League and entering the top 8, Millwall once again faced off against the Spanish team.
At the end of March, Millwall went to the Valencia region of Spain to visit the Love Song Stadium and challenge the yellow submarine Villarreal!
Villarreal is definitely not a traditional strong team in La Liga or a veteran team. It entered Spain's top competition for the first time at the end of the last century. After the new century, its results have been stable and it has begun to make a splash. The semi-finals of the UEFA Cup are no small miracle. Last season
They got their best historical ranking in La Liga, third place, and were able to participate in this season's Champions League. For the first time in the Champions League, they broke into the quarterfinals. They are obviously a dark horse!
Millwall came to the Love Song Stadium with some reservations about their strength, at least that's how the outside world viewed it.
As he gets older, Henry's injuries also begin to increase. Although they are all minor injuries, they are bound to affect the condition of the court. In addition, the World Cup is just around the corner. To be on the safe side, it is natural to be more cautious in using it.
Henry was out due to injury, and Ronaldinho was put on the bench by Aldridge without any injuries. The outside world is speculating whether a conflict broke out between Aldridge and Ronaldinho. But the internal affairs of Millwall can only be divided between the two divisions.
The two disciples knew it well.
At the same time, De Rossi was suspended due to the yellow card he received in the last game. Schneider was still 10 days away from his comeback. Ramos was able to get the starting position. It can be said that Millwall's three main players are unable to play. Comparison
Good news for Real.
Villarreal's sudden rise will bring the coach attention from the outside world.
"Chilean Engineer" Pellegrini became famous all over the world when he first arrived in Europe. In the first year, he led the Yellow Submarine to third place in the league. In the second year. This year, although the two-front battle prevented them from maintaining their ranking in the league.
The momentum of the season, but reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League is enough to make him shine in all directions!
Aldridge enthusiastically shook hands with Pellegrini on the sidelines. Pellegrini was also full of excitement because he was about to compete with the strongest Boss on this stage in the Champions League!
What if I win?
Spring is blooming.
Aldrich's mentality is that playing against more different opponents on this stage, especially those who are famous, is a great joy of his career.
"The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals kicked off at the Love Song Stadium. Villarreal welcomed the defending champion Millwall at home. Judging from today's starting list and formation, Millwall is slightly
Conservative. Maybe I am really afraid of capsizing in the gutter.
Nowadays, there are many strong people in the Yellow Submarine formation.
Vinta was a late bloomer, Arua Barrena was the main force in Boca Juniors' dominance of South America at the beginning of the century, and center back Rodriguez was considered Argentina's defense guarantee for the next ten years (the future was ruined by injuries).
After Makelele left La Liga, the player closest to Makelele in terms of ability and role in the defensive midfield position was Senna in the Yellow Submarine. He changed his flag and joined the Spanish national team. It was also the Bulldogs who dominated Europe two years later.
One of the key figures!
Hosico is a typical Basque midfielder, Solin is running all over the field, and Riquelme, the core of the attacking midfielder, needless to say. With Zidane retiring at the end of this season, Riquelme has become
The only remaining master of classical antiquity.
After Forlan left Manchester United and came to La Liga, he suddenly enlightened and became a phenomenal goalscorer, able to score incomparable goals in various ways.
Such a yellow submarine should not be underestimated.
Pellegrini still has great ambitions for this game.
Although he was slightly humble in attitude, after seeing Millwall's starting lineup, his desire to win became even stronger.
In his opinion, Aldridge underestimated him, and Millwall did not take Villarreal in their eyes!
Look, Millwall didn't even send a full-time defensive midfielder. Isn't this contempt?
Ronaldinho was also put on the bench to preserve his strength!
Pellegrini believes that Aldridge wants to step on Villarreal's corpse and advance to the semi-finals without any blood!
Young Marshal, don't underestimate me!
Pellegrini ignited infinite fighting spirit and was determined to make the unparalleled mad lion fall at the Love Song Stadium!
However, 10 minutes after the game started, Pellegrini looked at the situation on the court and was stunned!
Millwall's ball possession rate was close to 80% in the first 10 minutes!
In front of the La Liga team that is best at controlling the ball and controlling the game, is Millwall just trying to do whatever they want?
Aldrich's eyes were calm and unruffled.
Pedretti was not sent to replace the absent De Rossi, and Aldrich let the winger recover. The purpose was obvious, to strengthen the midfield!
Whether it's Rijkaard or Pellegrini, in Aldrich's eyes, they're all pretty much the same.
His mentality is the same as it was ten years ago.
