119 Missing Millwall

Pirlo was very interested in questioning the tactics of attacking midfielder organization and deep-lying organization. Aldridge was happy to discuss this topic with him. Ballack, Vieira, Nedved, Lampard and other midfielders

They all listened with interest.

The 1990s was an era when offensive midfielders experienced a blowout, but after that, they entered a hiatus, and even more than ten years later, the classical midfielder disappeared from Europe.

The attacking midfielder is also advancing with the times and has developed into a forward penetration to score goals and break through support. It is no longer the responsibility of the offensive organization. In the final analysis, the pace of the game is accelerating. Players are faster and pay more and more attention to the defense of the midfield and backcourt.

, coupled with the popularity of "beast waist".

The advantages of the deep-lying midfielder are more obvious. The first is the space, which allows excellent passers to perform with ease. The second is that the offensive core is used as a cover in the frontcourt to attract the defensive attention. This is the concealment of the offense.

The third is the control of the midfield.

Aldrich imparted his knowledge to the players, hoping that they would be able to examine the midfield, a battleground for military strategists, from an overall tactical perspective.

At the end of the first half of the Super Bowl, the two teams were evenly matched, and at halftime, the most exciting show of the Super Bowl kicked off amid much anticipation.

The Super Bowl halftime show is a stage where classics are born. The music artists who perform here are definitely the biggest names among the big names. The American music scene has always been proud of winning Grammy awards, but on the stage of the Super Bowl halftime show, big names

Most artists have already won multiple Grammy awards and are the most popular artists in the United States.

It is a pity that Aldridge and his team are not interested in the artists who will perform this year, even though Diana Ross was named the most successful female singer in history by Guinness three years ago.

Melanie seemed very excited, ran to Aldrich, and sang a cappella along with Ross's singing.

Aldrich felt it was a pity that he should have come to the United States to watch a Super Bowl three years ago.

Because it was the superstar Michael Jackson who performed on the stage during the 1993 Super Bowl halftime show. The halftime show that day still maintains the top ratings in the United States.

After the halftime show, everyone took a short break, and the fierce battle between the Ladas Cowboys and the Pittsburgh Steelers continued in the second half.

After the boys became familiar with the rugby game in the first half, they paid more attention to watching the game in the second half.

They saw that the Pittsburgh Steelers defense repeatedly restricted the opponent's offense through strong running, and simply built a steel wall in their own half. However, the Steelers' super quarterback O'Donnell once passed the ball.

The ball was intercepted by the Cowboys cornerback and was directly counterattacked. There was a burst of exclamation in the box!

Even if they are not football fans, they still experienced the pleasure from the passion that broke out in just a short moment.

The offensive team's pass was intercepted, and the defensive team ran counterattack all the way to Huanglong.

This is also very common on the football field, and this kind of mistake is exactly made by the core of the team's organization, without even a chance to make up for it.

Aldrich smiled at the players and said: "I read some information before the game. Steelers quarterback O'Donnell has the lowest pass interception rate in the NFL season, but his pass success rate today is obvious.

It is very low, and the data does not mean anything, especially it cannot determine the trend of the game and predict the results."

The Japanese were the first to start counting all kinds of boring data on the football field. They like to list all kinds of data about a game in football magazines. The significance of the data cannot be completely denied, but the data can never restore the truth of the game, because football is not a science.

.

The game became intense in the second half, and any mistakes would lead to an irreversible outcome.

Aldrich enjoyed a textbook game.

At the end of the fierce battle, the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 27:17.

Just looking at the post-game statistics, the Steelers' O'Donnell's number of passes, number of successes, and passing yards are higher than those of the Cowboys' Aikman, but Aikman's success rate, and O'Donnell's

Er's three fatal passing errors directly led to the birth of the MVP of this game. Cowboys cornerback Larry Brown successfully intercepted twice and directly scored 14 points for the team in the second half. The victory or defeat was determined by one pass and one interception.

The world is turned upside down.

When the Super Bowl ended, Aldridge left Sun Devil Stadium with a satisfied team, went directly to the airport and rushed back to London.

It was already Monday morning when they returned to London. The players slept for six or seven hours on the plane, and then went home to rest for a while in the morning. In the afternoon, the team took the bus directly and went to the Riverside Stadium in advance.

The new stadium opened this season.

The game was played in the evening, and the players came here early to adapt to the venue. The physiotherapists who came with the team were at Middlesbrough's home ground to help the players relax their muscles and soothe their bones.

Aldridge walked back and forth on the court. Maybe the players were still a little tired due to the long journey, but at least they were in good spirits. There were always happy smiles on the faces of teammates chatting with each other.

There is a subtle relationship between the mind and the body. Sometimes, even if the body is full of energy but the spirit is sluggish, I am afraid that the person has no fighting ability. And Aldrich has always believed that the decisive factor in a player's fighting ability is the mental attribute, and the body is the explosive fighting force.

Basic equipment, as long as the body is not overwhelmed by excessive fatigue, then the mental state is the first thing to consider.

Middlesbrough is also a newly promoted team. Under the leadership of Bryan Robson, their record this season is impressive. At least they are far away from the threat of the relegation zone. As long as they score another 13 points this season, they should be able to declare success in relegation.

There are still fourteen rounds left in the league.

Millwall didn't hold their usual pre-match press conference yesterday, which sent Fleet Street crazy.

They always like to follow and report on the focus teams, and they will also follow the mid-week training. However, from the time Millwall played the FA Cup on Tuesday to the league match day on Monday, Millwall's training ground was empty. Reporters were at the training ground.

When I saw the deserted scene outside, I thought the financial crisis had swept over and Millwall was in debt from top to bottom and ran away.

They made many inquiries and dug deep, but they just didn’t know where Millwall had gone.

Overnight, the coaches and players of Millwall's first team disappeared.

Even when they went to the players' apartments to stay, they gained nothing. There were free tabloids distributed on the streets to attract attention and shouted: Supernatural incidents in East London, mass disappearances in Millwall!

On the match day, Millwall parachuted into the Riverside Stadium and shocked everyone.

Because they didn't go back to the training base, they came directly to the away game to report.

When the game was about to start, in the packed Riverside Stadium, Aldrich was sitting on the coach's bench and feeling the comfort of the seats in the new stadium. He had been thinking about his new stadium plan in his mind, and now he was sitting in someone else's new stadium.

, it is natural to feel it, so as to have a psychological expectation. If he is not satisfied, he will have to make detailed requirements with the contractor in the future.

Bryan Robson took the initiative to come over. Aldridge looked up after his sight was blocked, saw Robson, and smiled: "Congratulations, we have successfully avoided relegation!"

Robson laughed, shook hands with Aldridge who stood up, and asked: "Where have Millwall been recently?"

"Um?"

"The papers these days say Millwall is missing."

"Oh, I gave the players a holiday. There are too many foreign players in my team and they are not used to not having a holiday in winter."

"Isn't it the same way in English League One last year?"

"Well, you can't say that. You can't handle this kind of thing once you experience it once. It's a bit like a conditioned reflex. At that stage, you will naturally become mentally unbalanced."

"You manage the team and also study psychology?"

"Of course I do. Didn't Brazil bring a psychiatrist with them when they won the World Cup?"

"Haha, are you judging Pele as naive and Garrincha as a mentally retarded psychiatrist?"

Aldridge and Robson laughed together. The two coaches had a very pleasant conversation on the sidelines. The live broadcast camera was naturally focused on the two. Robson's first coaching debut in the Premier League season was a success. Aldridge's first Premier League season

It is undoubtedly amazing. Both of them are the focus of the Premier League team coaches this season and are also a great discovery in English football. Some media will look forward to whether the two will coach the England national team in the future.

For the head coach, the league is a small arena, where there will be like-minded friends and sworn enemies. Although loners who are superior to others will become the focus, they will not be able to integrate into the mainstream.

Aldridge has many friends. Even Nottingham Forest coach Clark, who gave him the gift of his first defeat of the season, the two could have a good chat after the game. And his enemies are also very clear, Redknapp is one of them.

Keegan doesn't want to deal with him either. His position in front of the public is very clear. No matter how the outside world interprets him, he will not be included in the category of being ignored by everyone, especially not a walk-on coach in the Premier League.

When the game started, Aldridge sat on the coach's bench. He did not have high requirements for this game. The players just need to perform normally and play according to the tactical requirements. What he did not tell the players was: victory or defeat is not important.

He thinks so in his heart, but he may not tell the players.

In this game, he asked the players not to pursue a fast pace because they had just returned from a long journey. They controlled the ball through constant passing. They retreated slightly, based in the midfield, and then slowly looked for offensive opportunities.

In the first half of the season, Middlesbrough held on to a draw at the Lion's Den. At that time, they were gritting their teeth for points, but now they are a little more relaxed. After all, it is their home ground. It is ugly to hold on, and naturally they can't lose face, so they can't lose face.

The banner of attack was vigorously raised.

Aldrich was overjoyed by the players' state on the court in this game. They were more composed and confident, with a temperament that controlled the game. They were unhurried but contained murderous intent.

Middlesbrough played very tenaciously.

Pirene's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper, and Larsson succeeded in making a supplementary shot, opening the scoring for the team.

Twenty minutes later Middlesbrough equalized via a corner kick.

In the second half, Nedved made a wonderful pass to Trezeguet, who volleyed into the near corner and the team took the lead again.

In stoppage time, Schneider's free kick was blocked, and Stam scored with a header in the penalty area to seal the victory.

Millwall easily defeated Middlesbrough in their first league game since the break.
