September has not yet arrived, and Millwall has won two championships. They are tasteless. They are indeed the kind of championships that you would not be excited about if you win them, and it would be a pity to give them up.
The entire Millwall team returned to London, and at the same time, club CEO Adam went to attend the new season's Champions League draw ceremony held by UEFA.
Aldridge was absent from the draw ceremony again after last season. It is estimated that from now on, he will not be interested in going to see the Millwall draw results. The Champions League expansion, team classification, whatever UEFA draws, for Millwall
As far as Wall is concerned, a death group in the popular sense can at best cause some trouble, but it will never be a matter of life and death.
The four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League, Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, all have good signings, but to say whose group is the most difficult, it is the defending champion Millwall.
Manchester United, Deportivo La Coruna, Lille, Olympiacos.
Arsenal,Penadinaikos,Mallorca,Schalke 04.
Liverpool, Dortmund, Boavista, Dynamo Kiev.
Millwall, Juventus, Porto, Celtic.
Obviously, Millwall has been classified into the "Group of Death", and the four teams are all the strongest teams in each grade.
In an interview in London, Aldridge expressed that he was very satisfied with the result of the draw and did not say much else. As for his rematch with Lippi, the silver fox who entered Juventus for the second time, Aldridge did not cater to the media hype.
He just said with a smile that he was looking forward to playing against Lippi again.
Before the FIFA match day, Millwall still had a League Cup game to play, and Aldridge started the whole team rotation. He went directly to the substitutes.
Millwall beat Oxford United with a score of 7:1 in the away game. Klose scored 5 goals in a single game and became the biggest focus.
However, Aldrich focused on praising the performance of the defense. Pedretti's performance has tended to be stable. It is true that his potential is not endless, but his strength has also reached the level of a rich substitute. He is the kind of person who lets him play the main role.
I think he is close, but if you let him sit on the bench, you will have confidence in the player and can sleep well.
Metzelder and Barzagli have also begun to make people feel reassured. In the past, when they played, they would give people a sense of fear, fearing that they would make mistakes, but now they can feel much more at ease. Alonso got more opportunities last season.
, the confidence has been greatly improved, there is progress
It is obvious to all that although Lamore cannot reach the level of talent that he once had high hopes for, Aldrich also loves his substitute level for wealthy teams, especially his role as a series supporter in the offense. There are always surprises.
Performance, Villa did not look like the outside world
He quickly became a first-line star after such an expected blockbuster. He will be 20 years old at the end of the year and has lost attention in the past two years, but Aldridge thinks this is a good thing. Villa has also grown up in a low-key manner. He does not belong to the kind of player like
After Piero and Raul became famous,
He has firmly entered the first-class player. After he became famous, his opponents in the Premier League targeted him. In the past two years, he has focused on honing his skills and continuing to strengthen his body in the future. Aldrich believes that in two or three years, Villa will
Only then can you truly step into the realm of first-class players.
Aldridge does not have high expectations for the two newcomers De Rossi and Kaká this season because they will lack stability. They have just entered the professional arena and they have to feel the atmosphere, integrate into the team, become familiar with the rhythm, and adapt to the environment.
Lord.
Millwall has fewer personnel and more games this season. It is conservatively estimated that there will be 14 games in the Champions League quarter-finals alone, plus 38 league games, that is 52 games, including the Charity Shield, Super Cup, and Toyota Cup.
, FA Cup, League Cup, if all fronts perform better this season than last season, there will be almost 70 games in one season.
Aldridge's plan for the main players is about 40-45 games, and the rest are for substitute players. In addition, the main lineup cannot be affected by injuries throughout the season. Millwall's substitute players have won this season.
There will be a lot of opportunities to play. Main substitute players like Klose and Alonso will definitely have no problem playing more than 30 times.
Even though Millwall has fewer players and the lineup has not changed much, the overall strength will still be greatly improved in the new season, because substitute players like Metzelder and Alonso are growing every season and made their debut this season.
, they defeated their opponents in the away game. Even though their opponents were weak, the strength they showed on the field cannot be ignored.
Before the FIFA match day, Aldridge rested at home.
He feels a lot more relaxed in the new season. The key is that the club is stable and there is no need to worry too much. Thinking of the turmoil in the summer of last season and going to Asia to make money, and then comparing it to the start of this new season, Aldrich sighed in his heart: What you get will be what you get.
Lost.
It was a bright day, and Aldrich was playing football with his two sons on the lawn in the backyard of his home. Yiwen was holding a digital camera to record the video, with a smile on his face.
Aldridge always thought that Earl didn't like playing football and only Bert liked to play, but he was wrong.
Now Bert and Earl can run with the ball, shoot simple shots, and pass the ball to each other.
Bert looks like an ordinary kid, kicking a ball with his feet and not having any tricks.
But Earl's body flexibility is astonishing. He is not playing football, he is playing with a ball. After practicing for a while, he can now bounce a small ball ten times at a time!
When interacting with Bert, he would also try to change directions to pass people. Although there was no obvious acceleration, he had a good sense of passing people.
This makes his brother Bert look a little clumsy.
Aldrich didn't care either. As a parent, how could you dislike your children and find fault with them?
He set up a small goal in front of a wall in the backyard. When he came home from get off work, he would often play a goal-keeping game with his two sons. Of course, he would be the goalkeeper, and his two sons would shoot.
When Bert shoots, he always has to exert his strength and use his strength to achieve speed. Earl is much more cunning, and that was the case today.
Aldrich stood in front of the door, taking a guarding posture, and smiled at Earl: "Be careful, don't twist your foot."
Earl always likes to play tricks and has experienced sprains before.
I saw Earl take two steps back, then slowly run towards the ball and shoot. His feet circled in front of the ball. Aldrich naturally saw that he was making a fake move, but he cooperated and pounced directly.
To the right, Earl kicked the ball towards the empty goal.
"Yeah! Scored!"
Earl yelled and high-fived Bert, then rushed to Aldrich.
Aldrich, who moved his center of gravity in advance and was "cheated", lay back on the lawn and screamed: "You are so powerful, how did you come up with such a powerful trick?"
Earl laughed and rushed to Aldrich, and was pulled into Aldrich's arms. Earl shouted excitedly: "I defeated you, Dad. I defeated you! Hahaha."
"You are so powerful. I am no match for you. Tell me, who taught you?"
"Pants n taught me. He is amazing. Yesterday he defeated the Islington team. He scored 6 goals in 40 minutes."
Aldrich laughed. Islington is a district in Greater London. The 13-year-old Aguero probably went to play street football with his teammates. He played a game with the Islington field team, Millwall Youth Training.
There has always been a tradition of advocating street football competitions in players' spare time before they are 16 years old. At that time, Najib personally led the street football team that swept the entire Greater London. Now it is not so strict, but U16 players are still required to have at least one game every week.
Street football game experience.
Street football is actually a very important part of training players. The so-called art is among the people. English football lacks creativity. One of the reasons is that professional players have entered a fixed youth training system since childhood, and their inspiration and freedom are constrained. However, South American football
, even in places like France in Europe, where Latin football is represented, many stars are played by street football.
Bert and Earl were taken to watch the street football match by Ivan yesterday, and Bert also came over to Aldridge and told him about the match he watched yesterday.
Aldridge didn't hear them mention Messi, so he figured it out after thinking about it.
If Aguero and Messi team up to play against other wild teams in London, it is estimated that no team will be willing to play with them. It is simply looking for abuse. Therefore, when they go out to play wild football, they act alone, and at most one or two people are involved.
Go with a teammate who is not an offensive player. Sometimes if there are too many people, you have to break up. Only if you are in different teams will they be willing to play with you.
Like yesterday, Aguero went with Baines, and even called one of his brothers, beat him 8:2, and returned home happily.
"The big brother in Islington said he would never play football with Pants N again unless Pants N were on the same team with them."
Earl said it with great joy, and Aldrich found it interesting.
Yiwen took a digital camera to record the whole process. These memories will become wonderful memories when they are old.
After spending two carefree days at home, Aldridge returned to work. The England national team went to Liverpool to prepare for the sixth round of the World Cup preliminaries against Finland. The national team's home court for this game will be
Use Anfield, and when they face Greece in the final round, they will go to Manchester next door and use Old Trafford.
The reconstruction of Wembley has also had an adverse impact on the England national team to a certain extent, that is, the home game venue is not fixed. Although many European countries have always used the home court in rotation, for England, Wembley has always been used in the past.
Li, if this habit is suddenly broken, there will definitely be some impact.
The new season has just begun, and the national football players are also very lively and energetic, which can be considered a positive influence.
England ranks third in this group. Due to a bye in June, Finland was originally one point behind England. As a result, they defeated Albania in June and now have 12 points, 3 points more than England. However, England has one game less than them.
As long as England wins this game, it will basically lock in the second place in this group of the World Cup preliminaries, because after Finland's game, there is only one game left with Greece, and all eight games will be over, while England still has two games left.
This game will be a key battle for whether England can qualify for the World Cup. If it can win, at least the play-off qualification will be guaranteed. If it cannot win, considering that it will be a guest in Germany in the next round, it is very likely that it will not even qualify for the play-offs.
arrive!
The two World Cup preliminaries in September and the final match of the World Cup group stage in October will be the decisive battle for England to enter the World Cup in South Korea and Japan. No game can be missed. (To be continued...)
