After Aldrich's team interview ended, Yiwen, who was in high gear, interviewed the players on the team one after another during the training breaks in the next few days.
This made the atmosphere within the team suddenly lively. Compared with pre-match press conferences or post-match interviews, they are rarely able to be open and honest with outside media, because after becoming familiar with Fleet Street's style, most players feel that outside media
Any questions they ask are ill-intentioned, and they will try every means to misinterpret what they say and create unnecessary trouble.
For example, if a player is asked about salary, no matter how the player answers, it will be interpreted by the outside world as being dissatisfied with the salary, triggering "scandals" in the transfer market.
After a loss or a draw, the players' comments will become the focus, which arouses the players' awareness of self-protection. When facing the media, most of them use a formulaic tone, saying nothing more than a few words and an unchanging attitude.
But Yiwen's interview is obviously from the club's perspective. The players also want to express their thoughts through this kind of interview. Whether it is gratitude or ambitions for the future, only if they truly regard themselves as a member of this place can they express their thoughts.
Have a desire to talk.
As the captain, Southgate should be the first to sit in front of the camera.
When Ivan asked him about choosing Millwall, Southgate said frankly: "Actually, I have never thought about joining Millwall. I will not hypocritically say that I have dreamed of joining here since I was a child, because in 1994
In the summer of 2016, I was the main player at Crystal Palace. Everyone knows the relationship between Crystal Palace and Millwall. What I yearned for at that time was to be in the Premier League and play with Crystal Palace.
However, the boss made me a top offer. Now it seems that the offer was not high, but it was not a small amount at the time. Crystal Palace Club agreed to it without discussing it with me.
The offer made me feel abandoned. Under such circumstances, I thought I could not stay at Crystal Palace. Then, the boss personally came to persuade me to join.
Millwall, that day, I will never forget. At first, I thought the leader was an arrogant guy. Reason told me: he was just talking big words, don’t go crazy with him. But I was still convinced by him,
I think what touched me at that moment was an irrational passion, which is what football needs most. It cannot be described in words, and this passion,
It is also a must-have for many successful teams, such as Manchester United, Liverpool in the past, Ajax in the past three years, etc. Football is a very special field. Whether it is a player or a coach, if you just treat it as a job,
It is difficult for you to achieve success. The element of passion is one of the essential qualities of a successful person. The leader has this element, which deeply infected me."
Yiwen smiled and nodded. Aldridge does have this element. He makes Millwall's football sexy and wild. The players' strong fighting spirit on the field well demonstrates the qualities of players that the public needs most.
"So how do you feel about life in Millwall after two and a half years here? What are your plans for the future?"
Southgate smiled after hearing this and said: "After I came here, I felt that I improved very quickly. I entered the England national team. The boss asked me to be the captain and gave me a strong sense of responsibility at all times. This is very important to me.
, Moreover, I am in a very united and competitive team, which makes us look forward to brilliant achievements. I have to admit that if I am in a mid-to-lower team, it will be difficult to maintain it after one season.
to the competition
Concentration, maybe if we get enough league points, the players will slack off mentally, but here, it will not happen. From the first game of the season to the end of the season, we are full of belief in winning in every game and hope to win in the season.
At the end, I will receive a trophy, one, two, or more. In the past two years, we have been improving. There are so many excellent teammates around me, which also motivates me to move forward. Otherwise, I will not be worthy of this excellent team.
last year
In the summer, I became a sinner in England. At that time, I just wanted to escape, but the boss appeared in front of me immediately. He did more for me than I imagined. He made me cheer up and determined to fight again after falling.
The belief in getting up again after falling down was a difficult time, but it was also my most valuable experience. Now, I can face all difficulties calmly, help my teammates in difficult situations, and play the role that a captain should have. In the future?
I want to be here forever
To continue playing, the fans, teammates, and boss, these are the three most important reasons why I never thought about leaving. Millwall will win its first league championship this year. Although the league is not over, I believe we will not
We will give our opponents every chance, we will play every game well, and then go to the European Champions Cup next season. That is the stage of my dreams and the stage that the team aspires to. We can’t wait to compete with the top European teams.
."
Hearing his heroic words, Yiwen nodded affirmatively. There is a lot of information that can be reflected from the players' mouths, including the pursuit of the whole team.
"You said that the reasons why you want to stay at Millwall include coach Aldridge. Apart from him bringing you in and cultivating you, are there any other reasons?"
Southgate laughed and said: "There are many reasons, and I can't explain it at the moment. Mature, he looks young, but his behavior style is completely inconsistent with his age. It is difficult to see him when he is anxious, and when he wins, he
He will praise you with restraint. When you fail, he will make you forget the shadow and pain of failure.
Pressure, one of the words he often talks about is: business as usual. I think this is the reason why we firmly believe that we can succeed. When we win, everything should be business as usual and continue to win. When we fail, don't be immersed in the past and focus our energy on it.
In the next game, my belief in pursuing victory will not waver."
...
Yiwen then interviewed other players, and most of them expressed their gratitude to Aldridge for his cultivation, and also had their own understanding of Millwall's culture, especially the foreign players, who were attracted by the enthusiasm of the fans here.
Shocked, even obsessed with this place.
When asked about Aldridge-related topics, the players had different reactions.
Nedved said: "The boss is a patient and excellent coach. He never gets angry at the players for no reason. Even when the team loses, he will rationally analyze the reasons for the defeat and reprimand a certain player.
It must make sense. The coaches in our team have an objective statistical system. In every game, the first-team coaches will rate each player's performance on the field. This is not a rigid standard. For example, against some teams that are not as strong as us.
The team and coach will have higher requirements for you and think your performance should be
It should be 8 or 9 points, and if you can show a qualified level of 6 points against a team that is stronger than us, the coaches will be satisfied. If you have a performance of 7 or 8 points, then you will definitely get
Praise, on the contrary, if you only
If you get 6 points, then the boss will criticize you. And it is absolutely impossible for you to refute. The boss’s diligence and wisdom are the reasons why I am impressed and willing to work for him all the time. His professional attitude is invisibly inspiring.
It is vital as we move forward.”
Larson said: "Amazing! Yes, he has redefined my role and ability on the court. I used to think that I was a point-grabbing forward, but here. I am more free on the court and I can do what I want."
More, I am improving every season, our performance is unparalleled, as a forward, I cooperate with my teammates and score many goals in the game
, and many of them are classic goals that we never get tired of watching back. This allows us to enjoy the game and have fun with it. I see outsiders always talk about how easy it is for Millwall to score goals. I think this is superficial.
, because I don’t think other head coaches can make a team’s offense so rich and varied. Why are you amazed? Because he is only twenty years old!”
Trezeguet's gratitude to Aldridge was beyond words during the interview, and he was full of praise when talking about Aldridge.
"An unparalleled coach, he will definitely become the greatest coach in history. Yes, that's what I think. People may laugh at me for not seeing the world, but I think as long as I give the boss time, he will become a legend in the coaching world.
.Playing under him puts me under pressure, but it makes me enjoy it even more because I won’t be confused. Some teammates hoped that I could do it when they first came to the team.
To give some experience, I will tell them: If you don’t know what you should do, then go to the boss, don’t think about anything, just do what the boss asks you to do, and then you will find yourself
The value of it. I don’t mean that the boss is an unreasonable person. On the contrary, he likes to reason with me the most. Even I was a little annoyed. For a while
Suddenly, he told me: David, I need you to provide assistance to my teammates on the front line. Then, I started to actively defend, but the boss was still not satisfied. He said: I must also provide some assistance to my teammates during the offense. I don’t understand why.
, because I am a forward and my duty is to score goals, but the boss told me a lot of tactical principles. To be honest, I didn’t understand, but generally
After a few games, I did what he said, and then I understood. Now, I can provide cover for my teammates, and at the same time, my goals are higher than the same period last year. The boss will happily tell
Why did I, the threat of my strike partner allow me to gain more space, etc., I told the boss: You just tell me what to do, I do it, that's enough."
In a series of interviews, Yiwen found that she did not seem to realize that Aldridge had so many characteristics. After all, each player’s perspective is different. Like Makelele, his gratitude to Aldridge was more out of the ordinary.
To be appreciated.
His defensive role is considered the key to the team's success. Aldrich tirelessly recommended him to the national team, which greatly moved Makelele. Recently, the French national team has also begun to call Makelele.
There are signs that he feels that he is an important person who is absolutely valued at Millwall, which gives him a strong sense of ownership of the team.
Players such as Schneider and Phillips are grateful for the kindness of being acquainted with them. The former thought he was going to play in the German regional league in the summer of 1994, while the latter was abandoned by the youth training of the Premier League team and was reduced to a low-level amateur club.
When being interviewed, other staff members of the team were full of longing for the club's prosperity and future prospects. As part of witnessing the rise of Millwall, everyone is full of motivation every day and wants to personally turn this small ball that used to be penniless.
The team grew into a behemoth.
The video of the team interview has not yet been released on the official TV station. It is expected that Millwall TV will be officially launched this summer, and the text record immediately attracted widespread attention after it was released on the official website.
This directly caused the server of the official website to crash in the first week after it went online...
