Ronaldinho has been waiting for Aldridge to appear in front of him since he was substituted in the game and start this conversation. He has a lot to say to Aldridge.
When Aldrich sat down next to him, he immediately took off his headphones and started talking nonstop.
"Boss, I feel great today, really great. You should let me play the whole game... I felt that the opponent's defender couldn't guard me at all, and then they turned into two midfielders.
Defenders, the defensive space becomes wider. If I am on the court, I can... I don't understand, I think we can score more goals, definitely..."
Ronaldinho kept talking, and sometimes there was resentment in his words, like a child having a tantrum.
When he kept talking until he really couldn't go on, he closed his mouth and looked straight at Aldrich, waiting for an explanation.
Aldrich opened his palms and said calmly: "Look, this is your problem."
"What's my problem?"
"The problem you have is that you start to play however you want on the pitch."
"What's the meaning?"
Aldrich sighed and said: "If you play according to your ideas, Pavel also plays according to his ideas, Thierry, Henrik, Andrea, etc., there are 11 players on the field.
, they all play according to their own ideas, are you sure that this will be a team? Can you work together? Can you finally win the game? Will you not be full of conflicts because of conflicts of personal ideas? "
Xiao Luo frowned and said nothing.
Aldridge said patiently: "In the game just now, I asked the whole team to stabilize the rhythm. This was for my tactical purpose. But you were focused on attacking on the court. Other teammates can't just watch you dribbling the ball.
Rushing forward, you led other players to violate my tactical requirements. You and I will not discuss whether my tactical arrangements are correct or not, nor will I explain this to you, because this is not what you should
What you are concerned about is your turn to think about it.
There is only one thing you have to do to take the test. Whatever I ask you to do on the court, you do it and obey my tactical arrangements. I have only one purpose, to lead the team to victory, and what is your purpose? If you
The purpose is the same as mine, which is to win the team and create glory for the team. Then, you must cooperate with me. Now, tell me personally, what are you pursuing by wearing the Millwall jersey? What exactly is it?
What?"
Aldridge's tone was light and his expression was serious, which put unprecedented pressure on Ronaldinho. Under Aldridge's unquestionable words and questioning, Ronaldinho swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "I also hope to help the team win.
"
"Very good, we have reached a consensus. I hope you can prove it with actions and don't let me down."
Aldrich gently pressed his shoulder with one hand. After standing up, he relaxed his tone and said with a smile: "You did a good job today. You scared the Germans to the point of pissing themselves."
Ronaldinho just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard Aldrich's praise. He raised his head and smiled. After Aldrich walked away, he shook his head.
It was obvious that he was bitter at the beginning, but in the end he became guilty and worried.
Especially when he was questioned just now and Aldrich's commanding tone made his heart skip a beat. He was really not afraid of Aldrich getting angry, but he was afraid that the other party would exude a dignified attitude in a serious manner.
For Brazilian players, it is natural to be free and loose. Occasionally, one or two players who are strict with themselves, especially those who can integrate into a European team system, are praised as role models. They have technical advantages over European players, but often lack a team.
centripetal force.
Aldridge does not want Ronaldinho to eventually become a player outside the tactical system due to his extraordinary talent.
There were three choices before him.
First, Ronaldinho leaves.
Second, with Ronaldinho as the absolute core, bet all the team's honor and disgrace on him, and give him absolute privileges. If he performs well, the team will win every battle, but his condition will decline, and the team will be in a collective slump.
Third, try your best to develop Ronaldinho into a team player, restrain his freedom, and let him do his best to serve the team.
The first option, Aldridge has never thought about, whether from the perspective of team building or personal emotions, his personal relationship with Ronaldinho also prompted him to never think about selling Ronaldinho one day in the future.
The second option will become the mainstream of many wealthy teams in the future. The team-building model of superstars is commonplace, but the accompanying concern is that one or two superstars often dominate the trend of the team, whether they are in good condition or not.
On the court, there will be a huge difference in the team's record. Aldridge set out to cultivate many
There are many stars, but he will never give on-field privileges to the most famous stars. This is the concept of team building and the purpose of team development. If a star insists on having certain privileges, for example, he can not participate in defense and only attack, or
He is responsible for the goal, and other players must surround him and serve him. Then, Aldridge has only one answer: get out.
What he is doing now is the third option, inhibiting Ronaldinho's freedom. This is not only for the team's consideration, but also for Ronaldinho's career. Some talented players must be put on him
Shackles, giving him a fixed rule to follow. There are many such counterexamples, no need
To list countless South American players, Gascoigne, the most talented genius in England in the past ten years, is already regretting why he did not go to Manchester United in the first place. If he was under the supervision of Ferguson, his career would have improved.
It's a different scene, and it may have a completely different impact on your entire life.
Millwall returned home triumphantly, and a large number of fans greeted their return outside the airport.
This time the Lions went to Munich, many fans must be worried. After all, they lost last year. Now the result of the first round has come out. Millwall defeated their opponent 3:1. This result made the fans overjoyed.
It seems that there is no problem for the team to reach the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive years.
Fleet Street also sang Millwall's praises the next day.
"1:0 to 1:3, what happened in one year?"
The Times first republished Aldridge's entire speech when he encouraged the morale of the team immediately after the game when Millwall lost to Munich a year ago. This was news that had been hyped last year. At that time, Aldridge let
The team raised its head and got back on the road, saying that failure was a new starting point, which received a lot of applause from the outside world at the time.
A team cannot avoid failure, or even a period of downturn or decline, but whether it can rebound and make a comeback is one of the important factors in measuring the team's temperament and strength.
During this year, Millwall did not just talk big words. Instead, they used real performance to fulfill the promises they made at that time.
A year later, Bayern Munich is still one of the top teams in Europe, and Millwall is still one of the protagonists on the Champions League stage from a popular perspective. However, the difference in strength between the two seems to be much greater than the outside world imagined.
Millwall's huge lead in Premier League just thought to be meters away
Millwall has widened the strength gap with the top teams in the Premier League. However, when Manchester United, the defending champion of the Champions League who can only lament in despair in the league, also breaks into the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the entire Europe must admit that Millwall is not in the Premier League.
Yiqi Juechen. Instead, it is widening the gap in strength with the entire European giants.
There is no league game on the weekend, but the FA Cup quarter-finals are coming as scheduled.
Millwall will face Arsenal at home.
The day before the game, Aldridge was like a general lecturing his troops, hammering on the nerves of the bench players.
"The outside world has been praising Millwall recently, thinking that we are so strong that we only have the word "overlord" written on our face. From your expressions during recent training, I can see that this makes you feel very proud. However,
I think those are all bullshit. You are too happy. Go home and look through the photos to see which winning team includes you. Go into your honor room and count the number of medals. Then, ask yourself again.
:Can you laugh? If you could laugh, wouldn't you be an idiot?"
A gust of cold wind blew by, giving these substitute players who will play in the FA Cup tomorrow some goosebumps.
Summer is coming, but they feel a little cold.
Think about it carefully, yes, you are so proud!
Aldridge has noticed that the media trend is a little weird lately.
It's still early for the summer transfer period, but many wealthy or first-tier teams have begun to have scandals with Millwall.
Especially Italian teams.
There is no way, Italy's traditional top three, only AC Milan played in the Champions League this season, and they were eliminated in the first group stage.
As for the other three teams, Parma failed in the qualifying round, Fiorentina was eliminated in the second group stage, and Lazio, the only one to reach the quarterfinals, was slaughtered 5:2 by Valencia two days ago.
The best league in the world?
Mini World Cup?
In the new millennium, Serie A's dominance began to shake. This can be seen directly from the results in the European war, which dropped one level a year.
The year before last, Juventus' ticket to the final was snatched away by Millwall.
Last year, Juventus fell at the feet of Manchester United.
This year, there will be only one top 8 team in Serie A, and as expected, it will stop at the top 8.
The decline in competitiveness in the European war may be related to the serious internal friction in the league, but if there is no performance in the European war stage, the reputation of the world's number one league will really not be easy to rest on one's head. Fortunately, the Serie A teams now have money, and
Everyone is willing to spend money, so poaching people is imperative.
In the football circle, if you can't beat a club on the green field, you can defeat the opponent in another way: poach all your people!
Millwall has become the target of public criticism, including those who are rich, famous, and shameless. Anyway, recently, almost the entire Millwall team has been involved in scandals with strong teams in the media in different European countries.
Aldridge is not too worried about the main players. After all, he has given them everything he deserves, but the substitutes are also looked down upon. He is afraid that these fledgling players will be bombarded by sugar-coated bullets, thinking that they are really capable.
Be on your own.
Therefore, he wants to hammer these players and strengthen their minds.
Seeing these substitute players standing in front of them with their heads held high, Aldridge walked up to Klose and whispered: "Do you know what I saw?"
Klose looked left and right, as if asking for help from others.
They have long been accustomed to Aldrich's leaping thinking, but they don't want to be stumped by problems.
"Conspiracy. All this is a conspiracy from the outside world. Now, there must be a lot of people waiting to see the show. Isn't Millwall awesome? Isn't Millwall crazy? Then what will you do if you lose? Isn't it then?
Can I step on you without restraint?"
Aldrich passed in front of Klose, and the little carpenter finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you become arrogant because you are proud and underestimate your opponents, leading to defeat, then the outside world, including me, will make fun of you like an idiot. Say a few nice words and you will take them seriously. You are easier to coax than a three-year-old child.
Ah! If you don’t want to be a laughing stock, just close your ears, ignore what the outside world is saying, take every day’s training seriously, face the next game with all your fighting spirit, and be ready to become a team player at any time.
The main force!"
As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, these substitute players roared in response to his lecture. (To be continued...)
