The England national team officially started the first national team training session in the Aldridge era.
The England internationals, who had not trained at Millwall, heard Aldridge say that there was a lot in training today, which gave them some doubts.
While jogging around the field after stretching, Owen leaned close to Lampard and asked in a low voice: "Isn't Coach Hall's training cruel?"
Next to him, Gerrard, Hargreaves and others also pricked up their ears curiously, waiting for Lampard's answer.
Lampard replied solemnly: "It's okay. I have never felt that the training is particularly heavy. I usually go to the gym to practice after training."
He didn't say this to show off, he just meant it literally. He had time to go to the gym for extra training. It must be because the team's normal training did not squeeze out all his energy.
No one else seemed to believe Lampard's words.
Millwall can create today's brilliant record, their physical advantage is a major feature.
It would definitely be a spectacle to see Millwall players unable to run on the pitch.
This group of players had just finished their club games and now came to the national team. They were really afraid that Aldridge would treat them like animals and give them devilish training with a whip.
Lampard saw the expressions of his teammates around him and smiled helplessly.
The whole Millwall team is in good physical condition, which cannot be said to have nothing to do with the intensity of training. However, the key point is not to conduct hell-style training, but that Millwall's training system is both scientific and systematic. Scientific and reasonable training is better than simple and boring training.
Physical training must be more effective. Aldridge has always advocated a combination of work and rest in training. Players reach a critical point. No matter how hard they practice, they will not have much effect.
They all misunderstood what Aldrich said.
He said that just because there is a lot of training content, it does not mean that the training tasks are heavy!
National team and club training have completely different concepts.
You can't expect to change the players' playing habits or improve their personal abilities through training in a short period of time during the national team training.
On the contrary, the training intensity will be lower than that of the club. The main purpose is to adjust the player's condition, their own technical ability and physical fitness, and even extends to tactical awareness and teamwork awareness. These are not goals that can be achieved by national team training. They are the goals of the club.
Do these jobs.
When the players finished warming up and returned to Aldridge, Aldridge immediately entered the next training session.
"The national team's performance in recent years has not been ideal. I am not criticizing you, but seeking truth from facts. Since I am now coaching the national team, I will definitely be very different from the previous head coach in terms of tactical arrangements. From another perspective,
If I follow the tactics of former coach Hoddle Keegan, then the FA does not need to hire me, and I will not come here. Therefore, you must be aware that I will not discuss the tactical arrangements with you.
, don’t think that this is me using my authority to suppress you, absolutely not, if you have
My opinion is definitely for the team. I won’t question this, but I am the same. My job is to let you win on the court. Therefore, our goals are the same, but you are just players and I am the coach.
I will think more than you,
At this level, you have no right to speak. Listen, accept, and work hard to meet my requirements. This is enough. If any of you resist my tactical arrangements, please speak out directly. If you are unhappy, then
I can only apologize and ask you to leave."
Aldridge's words shook the spirits of these international players again.
Change, there will definitely be changes.
Because the previous European Cup and qualifiers proved that their previous tactics were a failure. Of course, they have to change. If they don't change, they can only continue to commit suicide.
At this point, Aldridge must make it clear to the players in advance, not to wait until the actual battle to cause conflicts and stage a farce of general disagreements.
Of course, if some players are really placed in a position they don't like, they will definitely feel great resistance.
Aldrich didn't know much about the detailed inside story.
However, for someone like Scholes, who retired from the national team at the age of 30, there are many reasons for outside interpretation. One may be his loyalty to Manchester United, another may be his dislike of Eriksen, and he is placed in the left midfielder position, which is also the reason.
Probably one.
Starting from the inner thoughts of these national players, when they come to play for the national team, they definitely hope to make a difference and be famous in history.
Aldridge is now coaching the national team, and they are full of expectations. They hope that Aldridge can bring England to the glorious heights of Millwall Club.
Big name?
The biggest name present is Aldrich. You don’t have to listen to what he says, but who will regret it?
Aldrich continued: "In my opinion, there are two ways to win on the football field. The first is to use your own advantages to the extreme, and then use these advantages to defeat all opponents. The second is to use your own advantages to the extreme.
The first is that one's own advantages are not enough to compete with all opponents. In other words, the opponent's advantage is obviously greater than one's own. Then, it is necessary to limit the opponent, seek the opponent's flaws on the basis of limiting the opponent, and defeat the opponent with wisdom in terms of tactics and strategies.
."
The international players nodded, which is understandable.
When a team is strong enough, it no longer needs to study its opponents. As long as it plays its own style, even if the opponent has targeted deployment, it will still be destroyed. For example, when Millwall faces most opponents now, their winning points are not what they are.
It's about restraining your opponents, but how to maximize your own advantages. There's no problem with your own performance, and victory is within your reach.
But in the face of opponents with close strength, this method of ignoring the opponent's crushing strength will run into trouble. When Millwall plays against the major European giants, it can't just consider using its own characteristics. It must study the opponent and limit the opponent.
, and on this basis, we will seek ways to defeat the enemy.
Aldridge crossed his arms across his chest and asked: "Let's talk about the first situation first, using our own advantages. Who can tell me, in your eyes, what advantages does the England national team have?"
He originally wanted to use a communication method to make the team atmosphere more relaxed.
However, this problem seems to stump everyone.
The national players looked at each other.
Xiaobei rolled his eyes: Is my full-moon scimitar an advantage? He is alone in the world!
But if you say it, wouldn't it be a bit shameless?
He turned to look at Scholes, as if he wanted the ginger head to flatter him.
It's a pity that the ginger head is expressionless and seems to be in a daze. He really doesn't understand the style!
He turned to look at his good friend Gary Neville. But Neville was frowning and thinking hard, not looking at him at all.
Gerrard wanted to say something about the advantages of physical fitness, but he still didn't say it.
Yes, England's players should have an advantage in terms of physical fitness.
It's a pity that they were all used up on the domestic battlefield.
Alan Smith also wants to say: I dare to fight!
But considering that when he played against Millwall last season, he overworked and left the field with a red card, this may be interpreted as a disadvantage.
Five minutes have passed.
Ah~ah~ah~
There seemed to be crows flying across the sky.
The bleak autumn wind swept past, leaving the place cold and dead.
Aldridge glared at these international players. He felt that he had asked a completely stupid question.
Oh my God! What advantage does England have?!
Aldrich thought for a long time but couldn't think of a tenable advantage.
He suddenly said: "Very good! It seems that you all have the character of a gentleman. You are humble, low-key, and unwilling to praise yourself. You are worthy of praise! Everyone knows our advantages. Now, the training officially begins. First, there is a 30-minute game.
The coach will give you jerseys of different colors, and the teams with the same color will be commanded by coach Klinsmann and I respectively. The game will start in 10 minutes."
After Aldrich finished speaking, he turned around to prepare for the match. When he turned around, he wiped the cold sweat from his head.
How fucking embarrassing.
Don't ever ask anyone in front of him what England's advantages are, otherwise, he might take off his sleeves and beat them up!
The players took over the red or white jerseys from Jenson and Barb and put them on. The red and white were clearly distinguishable, and the two teams came out.
But when they came to the sidelines of the court, the national players had strange expressions.
The red and white teams are obviously divided into main players and substitutes.
The main force of this team is Klinsmann who arranges the position and tactics on the field.
Goalkeeper: Seaman.
Defenders: Gary Neville, Southgate, Campbell, Phil Neville.
Midfielder: Beckham, Butt, Scholes, McManaman.
Forwards: Owen, Heskey.
British traditional 442.
When Klinsmann arranged his tactical arrangements, the key points were almost the same as their usual way of playing in the past.
In other words, the overall combat strength of their team is about the same as in the past.
The substitute on Aldrich's side is more excited. It seems that he is going to have a fight with the main players, and maybe he can counterattack and take the upper hand!
Goalkeeper: James.
Defenders: Mills, Ferdinand, Brown, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Lampard, Barry, Gerrard, Joe Cole.
Forward: Alan Smith.
Here comes the problem, there are few people.
The attacking players are really lacking.
Aldrich waved in the distance, and a young man wearing a white jersey quickly ran up to him and asked with high spirits: "Boss, what position do I play?"
Aldridge put his arm around his shoulders and introduced him to the England internationals, saying: "He is a player from the Millwall youth team, a Portuguese, his name is Cristiano Ronaldo, we lacked offensive players in the match, and he joined
us."
Goalkeeper James is tall and tall. He looked at the boy who was much shorter than him and frowned: "Coach, how old is he? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
"Everyone will pay attention to the training match. He is almost 16 years old. Well, he has eaten well, slept well, and trained hard these past few years. Look, his muscle lines are very obvious."
Aldridge said while squeezing Ronaldo's arm, as if feeling his muscles.
Cristiano Ronaldo threw his arm away, his nostrils pointing upwards, not wanting to throw away James.
Seeing him like this, Millwall players such as Ashley Cole and Joe Cole, who are relatively familiar with Ronaldo's style in the youth team, all knew: This kid is probably going to use the limelight to retaliate against doubts later.
A starting lineup of 11 is enough.
Aldridge took the tactical board and began to arrange the court positions for each player.
Barry played as a defender in the club, and today he was assigned to play as a defensive midfielder in the middle of the midfield. He didn't have any objections. He originally switched from midfielder to defender.
Gerrard and Lampard lined up on both sides, also playing as a defensive midfielder.
Joe Cole plays as an attacking midfielder, and the person in the parallel area with him is Cristiano Ronaldo, a free man.
Forward, Alan Smith.
After arranging the positions, Aldrich gave them detailed instructions on their tasks in the game. The defensive area is the most basic. What role should they play when attacking, passing the ball, supporting movement, and what to do in the first place.
etc.
Even though these people are national football players, they can't just arrange a formation, just go up and play!
That's a bit of a stretch, it will definitely turn into a mess. (To be continued...)
