The result of a game occurs within 90 minutes, but the factors that lead to this result are not all the content of the 90-minute game. Invisibly, it may be a week, a month, or even two months before the game.
One of the decisive factors formed by the accumulation of past history affected these 90 minutes.
This is one of the reasons why sometimes when we see two strong teams with balanced strength competing against each other, occasionally a strong team that seems to be in great shape suffers a disastrous defeat.
With many years of experience in leading teams, Aldridge no longer only looks at the success or failure within 90 minutes. The work of preparing for a game is no longer as short as a week or half a month before the game.
It will be longer, one month, two months.
The team's state is divided into physical state and competitive state. The physiological state is scientifically analyzed by the club's medical team as a reference, while the competitive state must rely on the high-level coaching team and the head coach himself to regulate it.
Under normal circumstances, Henry's ability is better than Klose's, and the gap is one and a half levels. In other words, Henry is already a top striker in Europe, but Klose can only be regarded as average.
When Henry's competitive status is at the "excellent" level, he may surpass Klose by two strength levels. But if Henry's competitive status is at the "poor" level and Klose's competitive status is "excellent",
Maybe Klose will perform better than Henry on the court!
How to maintain the players' competitive state is a test of the head coach's ability.
In general consciousness, there is probably a hard indicator requirement for excellent head coaches: they must keep excellent players in good competitive condition.
But the reality is: this is impossible!
No player can maintain the peak of competitive status from beginning to end, every 90 minutes of every game. Even the various champions in history cannot do this.
Therefore, in reality, those strong teams that only rely on 11 main players to conquer the world may seem to have a luxurious lineup, but due to the fluctuations in the players' competitive status, the probability of achieving glory is actually very low.
We can also see that many famous coaches will make unexpected lineup adjustments during the long season, which is beyond the expectations of the outside world: Why are there outstanding players who are not injured or sick, but they are not allowed to play? Then the outside world starts to make various adjustments.
There are unreasonable suspicions about whether there is a problem in the locker room, whether the generals are at odds, whether the players are leaving the team, etc. In fact, the answer is very simple, which is to adjust the players' competitive state.
A truly excellent head coach should know how to use his players flexibly and take advantage of the situation. A good employment strategy can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
This does not mean that players in poor condition cannot be used. If this is the case, it would be too rigid.
For example, Henry, who is in poor condition, may be ineffective in front of the defense of the top giants. But he can still show his power in front of the defense of a weak team, because no matter how poor his condition is, there will be a limit, and it does not mean that he is in poor condition.
Gain nothing.
This employment strategy is similar to Tian Ji's horse racing. The key is to evaluate the strength, know yourself and the enemy, and whether the head coach can observe everything clearly and accurately grasp the game situation.
Millwall's jaw-dropping record since the new season is not only dependent on itself, but also has a lot to do with the schedule. The schedule has helped the team better adjust its competitive state.
At the beginning of the league, they faced Tottenham in the mid-range and Liverpool in the upper-middle. They showed confidence and got into shape. Then there was a series of matches against mid-lower teams to maintain this state. In October, the strong dialogue began.
The state was quickly stimulated again, starting
It broke out, interspersed with league games with lower-tier teams, allowing for appropriate rest and minor adjustments, until the game against Manchester United continued this state and reached the final limit. The influencing factors also include many other aspects, such as the Golden Ball.
The selection of the award is exciting.
At this time, Aldridge will not ask the team to work harder. The peak of competitive status has reached the end of its strength. In addition, after the dust of the Ballon d'Or selection has settled, the players' physiological status will also begin to decline. Therefore,
He gives the players a day off, and even if the players don't want it, he will still take the initiative to make adjustments in the upcoming schedule.
Therefore, he hopes to complete the team's intermittent adjustments before mid-February, and then start the sprint for the second half of the season. At this time, he thinks it is not a good thing to be divided into a relatively weak group for the Champions League.
As for being in the death group, he was joking.
At the very least, he hopes that there will be a situation like a super strong team, a first-class team, and a quasi-first-class team in the same group. This will be better for Millwall, who can focus entirely on the Champions League in the second half of the season.
It doesn't matter if you lose in the second round of the group stage if you are in good shape to face the knockout rounds, it is better than going to the knockout rounds to face a strong opponent with a lot of confidence than being a poor player.
It's a done deal. It's impossible for Aldridge to go to UEFA and ask for a re-draw, or to switch with other teams that have more strong teams. Even if the other team is willing, UEFA will not agree. The other three teams will definitely
We also want to accuse Millwall: Did we provoke you? Are you in trouble with us? You must be in our group!
The key to the next work lies in the abilities of Aldrich himself and his colleagues.
The weekend league game was against Derby County at home. Millwall played lightly, withdrew several main players and used some young players to play. They won the team 2:0 without any bloodshed. Last season, they were in the middle and upper reaches, but this season they are stuck in relegation.
The mediocre teacher of the ranks.
With the 22-game winning streak across the season within reach, the entire European football world was numb.
Brush it, brush it, let’s see how long Millwall can beat this record!
At night, Aldrich put on his coat and walked out of the house, walked straight to the door of the apartment opposite, and gently pressed the doorbell.
Yiwen, who was wearing casual clothes at home in winter, was surprised to see Aldrich standing in front of her door. She quickly opened the door wide, looking a little flattered, and said: "Please come in."
Aldrich smiled and said, "I have nothing to do and I want to go outside for a walk. Do you have time to accompany me?"
Yiwen's face was full of surprise. She turned back and pointed to the TV in the living room, which was showing the Golden Globe Awards live broadcast.
"Sorry to bother you."
Aldrich still had a smile on his face and turned to leave.
"Wait! I'm asking, don't you look at it?"
"Oh, I'll find out the results when I get home tonight."
"Then wait for me for 5 minutes, no, 3 minutes!"
After saying that, Yiwen ran back upstairs. Less than two minutes later, he hurriedly packed up his appearance, put on a snow-white coat, and walked out of the house with Aldrich.
...
At the Ballon d'Or selection site, six Millwall players attended. They sat together and became the focus. They looked handsome in suits and ties, and their families also came to the scene.
Ronaldinho and Schneider were chatting and laughing with relaxed expressions on their faces.
The two of them knew they were just here to join in the fun. Even though they were shortlisted, there were many people with more impressive field statistics than them. Today, they also had the intention of cheering for their teammates.
The candidates' highlights of the year on the court are constantly played on the big screen. Such clips are most beneficial to offensive players or forwards. Because the most shocking moment on the court is the moment when the goal is scored. Others, such as defenders,
, Midfielder, scoring goals itself is not their first priority, and it cannot reflect all their talents at all.
When the final result was announced, the audience burst into applause.
Nedved stood up from his seat.
Millwall's second Mr. Ballon d'Or is born!
Nedved beat Rivaldo, and Beckham won the 1999 Golden Ball.
Perhaps he lacks the Copa America honors than Rivaldo and the Champions League championship than Beckham.
However, there is also a certain sense of compensation in the selection of the European Ballon d'Or. If Zidane had not won the World Cup last year, how could Nedvěd have been ranked second?
This year, as a midfielder, he scored more goals than Rivaldo, and assisted only 6 less than Beckham. His number of goals was unmatched by Beckham. At the same time, he led Millwall to win the league title last season.
Double champion, since the beginning of this season, Millwall has become the most shining team in Europe. It has just set a record of consecutive wins in the five major European leagues, 22 games. This record may be refreshed, and Nedvěd is indispensable.
He kissed his wife at the scene, and then did not go on stage because he was hugging five other teammates who were present.
Shevchenko, who was ranked sixth in the final selection, was also sitting not far away. He stood up and congratulated his former teammate Nedved, and the two also hugged.
When Nedvěd walked onto the stage, he held the Golden Globe Award and stared at it for ten seconds, then raised his head with a smile on his face, but his eyes were already wet. A tear fell down his face, and he wiped it away with a smile.
"In the summer of 1994, I came to London from the Czech Republic and played for Aldrich Hall's team. At that time, he said that in the future, I would become a star. I believed him, and I believed it just like my teammates.
There is no doubt that now, five and a half years later, I am standing here. I am grateful to my family and teammates for accompanying me to this day. But, boss, I will not express my gratitude to you here, no, because
You and Millwall will be here forever, forever."
Nedved held the Golden Globe Award in his left hand and placed his right hand on his heart.
Larsson, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Schneider, and Henry stood up and applauded, and then another burst of warm applause broke out.
In the selection, Larsson and Henry ranked fourth and fifth, Ronaldinho was tenth, Pirlo was thirteenth, and Schneider only received a pitiful number of votes, ranking twenty-fourth.
In any case, there are four Millwall players in the top ten, and Nedved takes home the Ballon d'Or. This is a bumper harvest for Millwall.
At the same time, beside the Thames, Aldrich leaned against the fence and looked up at the starry night sky. Yiwen boldly threw himself into his arms and hugged him tightly. Aldrich closed his eyes and let the fragrance linger in his nose and penetrate into his heart.
...
Millwall has produced two Ballon d'Or winners in three years. Larsson and Nedved have won the Ballon d'Or. In addition, as many as six players were shortlisted this year, and young players such as Pirlo, Ronaldinho and Henry
First of all, people have no doubt that in the future, they will also become popular candidates for the Golden Globe Award.
People are already familiar with Millwall's success on the field. The club's insistence on developing the club through youth training has yielded great results, and it has single-handedly created two Ballon d'Or players. Millwall's Leo training base has begun to be praised by the outside world as:
The cradle of superstars.
At the same time, Aldrich, the 23-year-old young coach, was given a new name.
Kingmaker!
The outside world is beginning to look forward to who will be the next player trained by Aldrich to enter the Ballon d'Or. There are many candidates for the title. Ronaldinho, Henry, Pirlo, these are all ready-made.
Candidates, and for those young players who have grown steadily in the club, who can guarantee that they will not shine in the future? (To be continued...)
