After leaving the Ritz Hotel, Aldrich did not go home directly, but parked his car on the side of the Thames River. He stood in front of the riverside fence and smoked a cigarette.
In fact, he was a little angry.
Why should he listen to others' orders?
The chairman of the Football Association wanted him to do something. As soon as Aldridge refused, the other party immediately became unhappy. The world does not revolve around Aldridge, nor does it revolve around Wiseman. Everyone is calm and cooperates if they can. Cooperate.
There's no need to fall out if you don't.
Aldrich finished smoking a cigarette, looked at the calm river, and lay tiredly on the stone railing. If he and Wiseman were of the same age, his rejection would probably not have caused such a big reaction from the other party. Unfortunately,
He appeared to be just a 22-year-old young man, and he answered the other party in person, and in
When the other party flattered him so enthusiastically at the beginning, he couldn't keep face, but Aldrich had no choice. If he insisted, maybe he should think about it and wait for a while before telling the other party his answer in private. At least
It's not as embarrassing as saying no in person.
Although the FA's control of the Premier League is in name only, the Premier League has been out of the FA's control since the day it was founded. The Premier League operates the league independently and does not even have to share the revenue to the FA. The origin of the conflict between the FA and the Premier League Committee
For a long time, after all, the prosperity of the Premier League has been at the expense of the interests of England's three lower-level professional leagues.
However, the FA cannot control the Premier League, but it has a strong influence on individual clubs. Aldridge has run the club over the years. In addition to the internal management of the club, he also has some experience in diplomacy. There are microphones in Fleet Street, and reporters from some major newspapers
They all have Millwall's exclusive brand, and they can play up Millwall's positive image in news promotions. At the same time, Millwall will also disclose first-hand information to them, and they maintain a good cooperative relationship with each other.
As for the FA, Aldridge seldom intervened in order to avoid suspicion. The Premier League committee had Arthur, the club chairman, to deal with. On the FA side, it was Andrew who was easing the relationship.
Tongtian, at least, is in a situation where there are people in the court who can do things easily.
Now that he has fallen out directly with Wiseman, Aldridge doesn't know whether it will affect Millwall's relationship with the FA in the future.
After admiring the night view of the Thames for more than half an hour, Aldrich put his worries behind him and drove home to take a shower and sleep.
After the FIFA match day, the players returned to the team one after another.
On the training ground, the returning players saw a familiar man.
Klinsmann completed all the formalities and officially joined Millwall.
Fortunately, Klinsmann's application for assistant coaching status was settled before Aldrich and Wiseman fell out. Otherwise, there is no doubt that this matter will cause trouble again, and it is a done deal. The FA will not shoot itself in the face.
The foot thing.
The arrival of Klinsmann made the players very excited. He is also a legend on the pitch. Especially the tearful scene when he won the World Cup in 1990 will never be forgotten by this generation.
Schneider came to this senior and teased: "We fought against each other half a year ago, and now we actually work together!"
Klinsmann, dressed in sportswear, crossed his arms and laughed: "My experience of playing against you made me very unhappy. Now I'm fine. If you dare to be lazy, hehe."
He played for Tottenham for one and a half seasons and scored 30 goals in 56 league games. His efficiency was amazing. However, when he first played for Tottenham, Millwall was still in the League One and had no chance to play against him. After last season,
The first half of the confrontation was the only time that Millwall successfully restricted him and at the same time gave Tottenham a defeat.
Schneider raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you won't have a chance."
When other players came out one after another, the team warmed up before training. Aldridge called Klinsmann aside. He and Jenson briefly explained today's training tasks to Klinsmann.
There is a saying that goes well, have you never eaten pork and never seen a pig run away?
Klinsmann's nearly 20-year career as a player requires at least more than 100 days of training throughout the year. He has worked hard in different leagues and clubs, so he is well-informed and is certainly no stranger to training.
But players training by themselves and becoming coaches to guide players in training cannot be said to be two completely different worlds, but the difference is definitely obvious.
Aldridge first needs to make Klinsmann look like a coach.
Klinsmann listened carefully and took note of the key points. He did not preemptively express his personal opinions. Aldrich described the task. He listened, accepted, and executed. It was that simple. When he became comfortable in his new role, he
He will express his own opinions and suggestions. Now, no matter what he says, most of them are based on players' thinking, which is obviously immature.
With the addition of Klinsmann, the players' training enthusiasm has become much higher. Perhaps they also want to give Klinsmann a "power" in their hearts: Do you know why we are strong? Just look at our training attitude and results!
During the break, Klinsmann can play to his strengths. He can impart some game advice, forward skills and other knowledge to young players.
At the end of the first day of training, Aldridge invited Klinsmann to have dinner at home, and the two walked to Aldridge's apartment together. As the sun set, Klinsmann seemed very worried.
Aldrich looked away from the beautiful scenery of the horizon, turned to look at Klinsmann, and asked with a smile: "Is my invitation too abrupt?"
After Klinsmann came to his senses, he shook his head and frowned: "I think Millwall's training is too easy and the intensity is very low. Is this the secret? Let the players accumulate energy during training and stay in the game.
Released in mid-season? So the team’s record is outstanding.”
Aldridge burst into laughter and said: "No, these two days are just special cases. Many players have just returned from the national team and have been exhausted from traveling. If the training is harsh, not only will they be physically exhausted and unable to recover, but they will also be conflicted internally."
Klinsmann suddenly understood. He laughed at himself: "Sure enough, I forgot everything after I retired as a player."
"Wait a week or two and you'll be in the zone again. Haha."
"It won't take that long. Starting tomorrow, I will be assistant coach Jurgen Klinsmann."
...
In the league at the weekend, Millwall welcomed the London Derby at home, and their opponent was Wimbledon.
As the poorest club in the Premier League, even though the Premier League broadcast contract has increased significantly, their strength is still declining because they do not have their own stadium. In addition, the salaries of the players are rising. As long as the players in their team have some strength,
They will all be poached by other teams, and those who remain will be a bunch of blue-collar warriors wielding sledgehammers.
If you play the same way as Yangchun Baixue against this kind of team, it is estimated that even if you win the game, it will not be worth the gain and you will probably add a few names to the injury list.
Aldrich continues the old tradition and goes head-to-head!
To fight the Kuang Gang, you have to play rough and simple violence.
Because there is the Champions League next week, it happens to give some main players a rest. Ronaldinho and Grenjaer are not available, and Aldrich has an unprecedented 3-4-3 formation in the starting lineup.
On the back line are Mills, Materazzi and Neal.
The midfield line is Van der Meyde, Lampard, Gattuso and Duff.
The forward line is the double forward Ruud Ruud Ruud and Klose, with Nedvěd ambushing behind them.
The Crazy Gang must be stubborn, and it’s no wonder now. In the past few seasons, the Crazy Gang’s attitude towards Millwall has been declining. From daring to fight and attack to stubbornly defending a draw, the only thing that remains unchanged is their rough ball play.
wind.
At the Lion's Den Stadium, at the beginning of the game, the opponent still used the old tactics, attacking the opponent first and giving the opponent a decisive blow.
Duff got the ball on the left and wanted to break through. The ball passed, but the man did not pass by. Instead, he was knocked out of the sideline. Then, Duff did not stand up.
Aldridge had just sat down. When he saw this, he rushed out from the coaching bench and shouted at the fourth official: "F-uck! Isn't this a foul? Is the linesman blind? Awarded a foul ball to the opponent?
"
Yes, the linesman there did not wave the flag to indicate a foul, and the referee Horn did not call a Wimbledon foul. Instead, the opponent was awarded a foul ball.
Duff fell out of bounds, so it did not affect the continuation of the game. Millwall's team doctor was about to go around the sidelines to enter. Aldrich grabbed the team doctor's arm, pointed to the court and said: "Just go through here.
!”
After hearing this, the team doctor changed his route and trotted into the court. The referee could only temporarily interrupt the game. At this moment, the Lion's Den Stadium erupted with loud boos, which were directed at Wimbledon and the referee team.
The linesman over there was under great pressure, and right behind him, many fans roared and yelled at him, directly insulting him for being blind!
The team doctor checked Duff's injury and made a substitution signal directly to Aldridge.
Aldrich asked Zambrotta to warm up with a gloomy face. Zambrotta can also play as a wide midfielder. In other words, historically, he was famous for playing as a wide midfielder.
Duff was carried off the field and sprained his ankle when he fell. He is not expected to be out for a long time.
Aldridge no longer wanted to always stand on the sidelines supervising the game and put too much pressure on the players. For example, in the European Super Cup ten days ago, he sat on the coaching bench for almost the entire game.
But there was something wrong with today's game.
Something is very wrong!
Wimbledon's opening action was not called a foul, which seemed to be the tone of the penalty scale. Next, Wimbledon's players frequently used rough fouls to curb Millwall's offense, almost to the point where Millwall's players only needed to
If you get one meter closer to them, you will inevitably be violated or blocked beyond technical actions.
Some of the referees called fouls, and some didn't. What's incredible is that not even a yellow card was issued!
Aldrich watched the game for thirty minutes from the sidelines, and finally shook his head and gave the team instructions: No need to play ground passes and cuts, it's useless! Just play long passes!
As a result, the game became a bit boring. The audience watched the ball flying in the sky, and there were few exciting moments.
Before the end of the first half, Klose stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area and handed the ball to Van Nistelrooy next to him. With three people double-teaming him, Van Nistelrooy shot directly with his toe. The ball rolled into the dead corner of the goal. Just in time
When Ruud was about to celebrate, the referee signaled that the goal was invalid. His gesture was referring to Klose's handball when he stopped the ball.
Aldrich's expression was similar to that of the nearly 20,000 people in the audience, shocked and disbelieving.
Klose's arms were raised when he stopped the ball with his chest, but the two arms were on both sides of his chest. If you look at it from the side, it does look suspicious of handball, but when you look at it from the front, you can clearly see that the ball has no contact at all.
To his arm, it is impossible for the referee to go to the side to observe the game. He must be in the middle area. Even if it is deflected, the angle will not be too far away, and he is just outside the Wimbledon penalty area.
Less than five meters away from Klose, he actually awarded Klose a handball!
When this penalty appeared, Aldrich understood it completely.
Wiseman, you are too small-minded!
Is this such a dirty trick a threat or a revenge? Do you want to force me to submit or do you want to provoke a war?
