Klose, Duff, and Van der Meyde stood beside Aldridge. Through the half-time offensive and defensive match between his teammates, Aldridge began to explain Millwall's football philosophy to them.
At first, there were six people on the offensive side and five people on the defensive side. Through passing and cutting, the offensive team easily scored a goal and won a point.
Then, the offensive team takes off one player and it becomes 5 on 5. Then the offensive team scores again and removes another player and it becomes 4 on 5.
"In a 90-minute game, the number of people involved in each attack changes. It is impossible for the number of people attacking and defending to be equal or dominant each time. In training, you must learn to adapt to the thinking of playing football, regardless of the situation.
No matter how many teammates you have around you, you have to know how to play."
"But now there are only two forwards on the field."
Klose was very interested in this kind of training and found it novel.
There are only four people on the offensive field, Pirlo, Nedved, Trezeguet and Shevchenko.
Aldrich crossed his arms across his chest and motioned for them to watch.
On the defensive side, there are four defenders and a defensive midfielder, which is a combination of substitute lineups.
Mills, Ferdinand, Materazzi, Zambrotta, Gattuso.
During the previous 6-on-5 game, there were Ballack and Grenchar on the attacking side. During the 5-on-5 game, Ballack came off the field, and after another goal, Grenchar also came off the field.
When the number of attackers is dominant or equal, the attacker can freely move around with the ball and quickly score a goal.
When they are not numerically superior, their playing style changes.
This will test the player's ability to control the ball, as well as their positioning and movement without the ball.
Trezeguet ran back and forth between the two central defenders. After receiving the pass, he immediately began to move and look for opportunities. Shevchenko shuttled back and forth in front of the back line. When Trezeguet pulled to the side, Shevchenko
He will also complete the switch to the center position. Nedvěd's running covers almost all areas. While supporting Pirlo, he can also press forward into the penalty area.
The three rookies were dazzled. Before they were superior in numbers, they didn’t realize how good Nedvěd and the others were at playing. But when they were not superior in numbers, the four of them had a reasonable division of labor and a clear sense of hierarchy. It was not just players running and pulling without the ball.
They also formed a tacit understanding with their teammates in choosing running routes. They patiently and tactfully searched for every defensive opening.
"If it is necessary to strengthen the player's personal breakthrough ability, then this game will be played on a smaller venue. At the same time, the number of attackers will become 3, and the number of defenders will still be 5."
While Aldridge was talking, Pirlo went straight into the penalty area and was successfully intercepted by Ferdinand, who kicked the ball to Gianluca Zambrotta on the wing.
Shevchenko immediately went to grab Zambrotta. The latter took the ball, but Nedvěd intercepted the ball on its way to Gattuso.
"This game not only trains offenses with different numbers of people, but also trains counterattacks after losing the ball, and must form a system. For example, just now, Shevchenko's counterattack was unsuccessful, but he forced Zambrotta to be the first
Time plays the ball. If that picture could be frozen, you would send it
Now, Zambrotta has Shevchenko in front of him, it is dangerous to pass the ball to the center, and Trezeguet is pressing the back line, Zambrotta must play the ball, and his choice is to give the ball to Gatto
So, and there Nedved is waiting for him, this is a successful local defense system."
"What should we do?"
"There are many ways. The two central defenders come back immediately to respond. Zambrotta can also pass the ball back to the goalkeeper. If he has a wider field of vision, he can also directly pass the high ball to another wing, where Mills is unmarked.
.In the game, most players will directly make a big-footed clearance when they encounter him. I don’t deny that this is an option, but it is certainly not a good choice, especially blindly making a clearance. Once the opponent organizes a second attack, but on our side
The defensive formation has not been properly arranged, but it is dangerous."
After successfully stealing the ball, Nedvěd passed the ball directly to Trezeguet, who pressed the defense and successfully countered offside. While Aldridge was talking, Trezeguet easily scored the ball.
"Hey, Leo, Marco, were you relaxed just now?!"
Aldridge smiled and shouted at the two central defenders.
The two of them rubbed their heads helplessly, and Zambrotta raised his hand to apologize to his teammates.
Everyone is relaxed and mentally slack.
In the mid-season training, Aldridge would definitely criticize them mercilessly. The defenders would relax after successfully defending. This is a very dangerous mentality. You must be wary of the opponent's second attack quickly after a successful counterattack.
Attack, this kind of attack is more deadly. In this kind of confrontation, the number of people on both sides of the offense and defense is constantly changing.
The players' thinking about playing football will not be rigid, and the situation they face is also changing rapidly. If defensive training is to be strengthened, more defensive players will be removed and the players will learn to defend 4 against 5, 4 against 6, 3 against 4, and 2
Defending against 3, or even 2 against 4, 3 against 5, this kind of confrontation directly tests the awareness of position selection, tacit cooperation, and defensive ability.
Klose was very excited. He saw many things that he could not see in amateur teams. He was amazed by the movements of Trezeguet and Shevchenko.
This ability to run without the ball was developed after at least one or two seasons of training, rather than just running around with physical strength and running amok by yourself without observing the movements of your teammates.
Aldridge waved to Ballack, who was not far away, and asked him to come on to increase the number of defenders.
This time it became 4 against 6.
After Ballack came on the field, he faced off against Pirlo, preventing him from organizing the offense calmly. After setting up the defensive formation and shrinking the six-man defense, it was layered and systematic. Pirlo's four-man team could not organize an effective attack.
After Devide dribbled the ball past Gattuso, Materazzi intercepted the ball at the right time. The four people quickly counterattacked, but the defensive team with more ball routes steadily controlled the ball and smoothly controlled the ball.
After the range shift, he successfully passed the ball ten times and won the game.
"Do you want to go up there and give it a try?"
Aldrich asked the three rookies with a smile.
The three of them all nodded and expressed their desire to go up and show off their skills.
Aldrich brought Van der Meyde on first to reinforce the attacking team, and it became 5 on 6 again.
After Van der Meyde came on the field, he stood at the left wing position. After receiving the ball for the first time, he wanted to show off his skills with his feet, but before he could get rid of the ball, he was squeezed out by Mills and lost control of the ball.
The defensive team quickly kicked the ball, and after ten passes, the victory was achieved.
Van der Meyde looked depressed, while Mills spread his hands helplessly.
He felt that the Dutchman was too soft.
Withdrawing a defender, Gattuso came down to rest.
Continue 5 against 5.
Van der Meyde's performance was too bad. Even if the number of people was equal, he wanted to express himself too much, and he would definitely lose the ball five seconds after getting the ball on the wing. Even if there was a stoppage, Mills would block his path. The ball
Exceptional.
For a while, the old teammates felt that this Dutch boy was too weak!
Nedved and Trezeguet took the initiative to help him on the left, which exposed Van der Meyde's lack of movement awareness.
Duff and Klose also went up to try it out one after another, but the results disappointed the three rookies and their confidence suffered a huge blow.
Even Klose, who was tall and thin, was knocked down by Materazzi.
If you use a 10-point scale to rate three people.
The technical ability scores of all three people are between 4 and 6 points.
Physical and team awareness may not even score 3 points.
"Don't be discouraged. You are all under 20 years old, so there is naturally a gap between you and them in terms of ability."
Aldridge smiled and comforted the three people who were hurt in their hearts. Besides, if these three people are excellent in all aspects, will it be Millwall's turn to take action?
Klose pointed at Trezeguet and said: "But he doesn't look much older than me."
Aldrich smiled and said: "Haha, he will be 20 years old in three months. The reason why he is stronger than you and performs well is that talent is only one aspect. The most important thing is that he has trained diligently here in the past three years.
Take a closer look at the other players, are they all in great shape?"
The three of them looked at the other players, Nedvěd, Schneider, Barak Lampard, Van Nistelrooy, Shevchenko and other players. If Millwall were not a football club, they could definitely organize a group to participate in the male model selection.
.
"When they take off their clothes, you will find that not only do they have no fat on their bodies, but their muscle lines are clear and beautiful. The club introduced a scientific physical training mechanism two years ago, and the coaching team sends people abroad every year to learn and exchange physical training.
Methods, their efforts coupled with scientific training methods, so they become stronger than ordinary players. You can too in the future."
On the first day of training, these three players had a more detailed understanding of Millwall and realized the gap between themselves and this team. Aldridge was not pretending to give them power, but just let them recognize it early.
Clear reality will allow them to calm down and work hard to catch up with their teammates.
Ronaldinho suddenly ran to Aldridge and asked with a smile: "Boss, when are you going to let me make my Premier League debut?"
Aldrich turned to look at the sweaty Brazilian guy with a weird look on his face and asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"Tell me, I'm so prepared."
"Are you ready? You are mistaken. It's not about whether you are ready or not, but when I say whether you can do it or not. When I think you can do it, I won't give you time to prepare. You have to give it to me!"
"Yes, that's right, if you ask me to come, I will definitely come! When will you come?"
Aldridge touched his chin and said, "What were your statistics in the youth team last season?"
Ronaldinho blurted out: "21 goals and 18 assists."
"Okay, whenever you can score double 20+ in the reserve team, I will let you play in the Premier League."
"ah?!"
Ronaldinho was stunned, then became anxious and asked: "Why? I played in the FA Cup final a few months ago!"
Aldridge said earnestly: "That's different. When you went up, we had one more player and we were leading. If you think that the level of the Youth League can be directly equated with the Premier League, then you haven't woken up yet. Go ahead.
Look at the performance of the reserve team. If you don’t perform well in reserve team training games, how can I let you play in the Premier League? Andre scored 19 goals in 20 games for the reserve team the year before last. What do you think about yourself?
Don’t have confidence?”
Ronaldinho was a little disappointed, but he quickly cheered up, pointed at Aldridge and shouted arrogantly: "Just wait! Double 20+ is double 20+! I can do it in less than half a year!"
Aldrich shrugged and said: "Goals and assists are both indispensable."
Ronaldinho turned to find the reserve team coach Capo and asked about the list of players for the reserve team for the new season.
Ronaldinho felt even more confident when he learned that there were often players such as Lampard, Gattuso, Ferdinand, and Grenjaer in the reserve team.
This is completely different from the youth team teammates.
"Boss, I just said it wrong! Three months! I can do it in three months!"
Aldrich laughed it off.
If Ronaldinho thinks that the level of the reserve team in the league is not high, he is totally wrong. If it is a reserve team match at the English League One level, it will be poor. But the reserve team at the Premier League level is a group of substitute players from first-tier professional clubs in order to enter.
The game is a game where many players are working hard to complete the game roster, and there are also games where many stars are returning to form after injuries. It is equivalent to the competition between the two teams of the Premier League club. The intensity is sometimes more intense than the Premier League, because everyone has to compete for the starting position.
Fight.
Only if he can establish a foothold there will he be able to enter the game roster.
