Adam reported the news from the Netherlands to Aldrich on Wednesday night, telling him that the contact with Ricardo Moniz was going well, but before discussing basic treatment, the other party needed to have an in-depth discussion with Aldrich.
In this era, the club CEO personally hires a training coach who is not the head coach, which is enough to show sincerity.
But for Ricardo Moniz, the cm training he admires has little room for survival in the Netherlands. The tactical flow is orthodox, while the technical flow is a bit evil and is not tolerated by the mainstream and also by the powerful.
Due to the pressure, Moniz did not know whether he could implement his training policy when he went to Millwall.
Aldridge was happy to call the other party. After exchanging names on the phone, Aldridge showed a very humble attitude and first apologized, saying that he could not fly to the Netherlands to meet him in person because he had to prepare for the weekend league. Then the two
Communicated about work.
Even though Gu Fulun, the founder of cm training, said wildly: Geniuses can be trained.
But this is just a propaganda slogan. If you really think that cm training has the magic power to turn decay into magic, then the geniuses in this world are too worthless.
Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is an important factor. Talented young players can achieve quick results through training, while players with mediocre talents may not be able to meet the cruel standards of competitive football even if they have developed certain technical abilities through CM training.
Aldrich explained his coaching philosophy to the other party and also introduced the team's situation to the other party.
In fact, when Adam flew to the Netherlands to meet Moniz, he had already brought with him videotapes of the club's players' training and game highlights.
Moniz is very excited deep down, because the talent of Millwall's players is undoubted, and more importantly, these players are very young and highly malleable, and most of them have not yet reached the age where their skills have been finalized.
Aldridge can't let the players train only on technique every week. He will only add technical training for different players in the training, and the time is not much, twice a week, two to three hours each time.
This is enough, because technical guidance is often one-on-one or one-on-two, or one-on-three. It is impossible for one coach to teach all players. After all, according to the characteristics of the players and their positions on the field, the priority of technical training is also different.
, for example, Trezeguet, his technical training is for shooting, shooting is the first priority, but if he is training Pirlo, shooting will definitely not be the primary goal.
Moniz and Aldrich talked on the phone for nearly two hours. During the conversation, the two argued and expressed opinions to each other, but they were all about football, not about salary.
Moniz submitted his resignation the next day and packed his bags to come to London in mid-March.
Before the league started at the weekend, Aldrich received another piece of good news. The news about him in London did not directly attract Mullensteen’s attention, but in the Netherlands, someone in Mullensteen’s circle of friends noticed it.
So he contacted the Millwall club and informed Aldridge that Meulensteen was not in Europe now.
He is coaching in Qatar and leads the Qatar U18 echelon.
Aldrich called the other side of the world, found Mullensdine, and had another long conversation.
In order to show Aldridge's sincerity, Aldridge directly gave Mullenstine an administrative position within the team, youth training technical director and coach.
The salary is also the same as assistant coach Jenson, and he is provided with a house in the community. He can live as long as he wants. Unless he moves and leaves here, the house is his, even if he leaves Millwall to find another job.
By spending so much money, Aldridge also needs a coach who can not only teach players, but also teach other coaches scientific technical training methods.
After winning the League Cup, Aldridge's team was in good shape in March, playing an unbeaten record and only drawing one game.
In the standings, Millwall and Manchester United are soaring together, gradually shortening the points gap with Newcastle United. Kevin Keegan's team became stumbling after the start of the second half of the league.
, the media's trend also changed, believing that Kevin Keegan and his team's ability to withstand pressure was too fragile. The lead went from 10 points in the first half to 5 points by the end of March.
Points, this is just the difference between the two goals.
The arrival of Moniz and Mullensdine has made Millwall's training more colorful. Both of them are senior researchers of the CM training system. They can not only play the technical videos they compiled to the players in the conference room.
, and explain it with tactical charts. At the same time, the two of them can also give teaching demonstrations to the players on the training ground. This makes many talented players in the team very excited. They often ask for additional practice after the training to listen to the coach’s skills.
guide.
The technical aspect is not only offense, but also defense. Aldridge used to focus on higher-level team defense, because defense is never one-on-one, but relies on tacit understanding and team awareness. The core of Italy's world-famous chain defense is also the team.
Tactical cooperation, while the offensive talents of the players are guided and improved, will naturally put more pressure on the defensive players during training, and can also allow the defensive players to improve at the same time.
Aldridge is very pleased with this virtuous cycle. What is even more commendable is that within a week of joining the team, Moniz and Meulensteen immediately began to shape the young players' playing habits.
Take Ronaldinho for example. Meulensteen is very optimistic about him, but Ronaldinho's weaknesses are also obvious at this age. He is accustomed to using his right foot. Meulensteen began to train him to balance on both feet, not to make him
The ability of the left foot and the right foot are the same, but it is to make him more comprehensive and able to shoot left and right, which will make Ronaldinho's technical characteristics more unpredictable.
Joe Cole's dominant foot is right foot, but he has excellent ball control skills with his left foot. The coach's advice to him is to let him hone his ball sense skills and teach him the most practical passing and dribbling methods.
Such corrections or pointers have benefited the players a lot and they have an intuitive feeling after trying it for a period of time.
Especially when Meulensteen began to coach Van Nistelrooy, Van Nistelrooy came into the world like a fly. He used to just rely on his sense of smell to find opportunities in the penalty area, but now, Meulensteen taught him to use the simplest movements to get out of the penalty area.
The angle of the shot, the action doesn’t need to be big, just flicks and dunks or half-turns of the body to protect the space, etc., which allows Ruud van Nistelrooy to not only grab points in the penalty area, but also become more and more threatening after stopping the ball.
Players can feel their own improvement, feel happy inside, and focus on training and games. This phenomenon is very good. Moniz and Meulensteen, who came to Millwall, are often too excited to sleep.
, the two of them have been in the coaching industry for more than ten years combined, but they have never taught so many outstanding players, which makes them full of a sense of accomplishment and expectation. They want to witness the power these players will show when they step onto the court in the future.
That's the mentality of a coach. He doesn't necessarily have to become famous himself. Of course, the sense of accomplishment of winning a trophy is unparalleled, but seeing his players become famous is also a sense of satisfaction that laymen can't understand.
After entering April, Millwall began to focus on the FA Cup. Even though there was hope of winning the championship in the standings, Aldridge remained unmoved. He only played the main team in the cup. The cup and the league collided and decided whether to rotate depending on the opponent.
, but the premise must be to ensure that the main force has sufficient rest time.
The road to promotion to the League Cup can be described as easy. Millwall did not encounter a particularly strong opponent from beginning to end. This is also related to the fact that traditional giants do not pay much attention to the League Cup.
If we rank the importance of the English games, then the League is greater than the FA Cup and the League Cup.
But in the FA Cup, Millwall began to encounter strong opponents one after another.
First they defeated Blackburn, and then met Newcastle United. The draw results were announced before the game against Newcastle United. If Millwall successfully advances, their semi-final opponent may face another giant: Manchester United.
In early April, Millwall ushered in the East London Derby in the second half of the league at home.
East London is once again in a state of tension, with riot police on guard against riots and the provocative and trouble-making mood of Millwall residents beginning to boil over.
Aldridge will not defend Millwall fans. They are just more emotional than other fans and like to cause trouble. In particular, physical conflicts are commonplace.
But as he promised in previous interviews, if there is a major disturbance on the stadium, he will ban the troublemaking fans from entering the Lion's Den.
Redknapp took West Ham United as a guest to the Lion's Den Stadium. They heard the provocative shouting and yelling from the whole stadium. The situation took turns. It was time for them to experience hell.
At his home court, Aldridge doesn't have to be timid in terms of formation, especially when playing on a high-quality turf court.
When the hot East London derby started, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle, and Redknapp also stood on the sidelines, looking a little nervous.
West Ham United played very ferociously and brutally in this game, with frequent fouls and rough movements.
"Once, twice, three times, four times, five times, Mr. Assistant Referee, I don't want to count anymore, but please understand, this is our home court! Why didn't the other side get a yellow card? It's...
Encourage West Ham to continue interrupting play with rough fouls?"
Aldrich couldn't stand it anymore. He walked to the fourth official and complained with a frosty expression to the referee team for their inability to control the game.
The fourth official was a little afraid to face Aldrich and could only pretend that he didn't hear anything.
Redknapp also came over and said loudly: "Our players did not commit flagrant fouls. Don't try to influence the referee by complaining!"
His words were directed at Aldrich.
As soon as he finished speaking, Aldridge turned to Redknapp with a ferocious face and shouted: "Fuck you! If you want to play football, then play football. If you want to play rugby, no one will accompany you. If your team doesn't want to play football,
If you want to fight, let’s go to the parking lot now. Those who don’t come are bullshit and the Hammer Gang!”
Redknapp was dumbfounded, watching Aldridge pointing his finger at the tunnel with a ferocious look on his face. He muttered something and then turned around and walked back to the visiting team's coaching bench to stand.
Millwall fans in the nearest stands applauded and cheered for Aldridge, while some taunted and insulted Redknapp, calling him a coward and a coward.
Aldrich really couldn't stand the opponent's killing tactics.
It's not surprising that there are villains on the court, but if you are determined to hurt your opponent from the beginning of the game, this exceeds the bottom line, not only the bottom line of football, but also the bottom line of morality.
As soon as he walked back to his seat, a huge uproar came from the stadium.
