The new echelon coaching staff meeting will establish the policy for training new players.
Expansion of the medical department.
Barb went to the United States for a month in the summer to study and brought back professional knowledge of American physical training. He will promote the experience and knowledge he learned in the club. When it comes to physical training in sports disciplines alone, the United States has led the world in modern times. Physical training
It is a separate professional area, which will help Millwall players better exercise, and is combined with the reasonable growth of sports equipment.
...
Aldridge did everything by himself, because Millwall could be said to have nothing in the past, and what it had was too old and too old to keep up with the times. Therefore, Aldridge wanted to ensure that the club was organized from top to bottom.
There is no problem with the framework construction. When everything is on track, he doesn't have to worry anymore.
In mid-to-late July, the players returned one after another. When the day came for the gathering, Aldridge walked to the training ground wearing club sportswear and members of the coaching staff. There, the players were chatting and telling anecdotes about their summer vacation.
.
"Huh? Who are you?"
Aldrich walked among the players and put his hand on the shoulder of a fat young man with a puzzled look on his face.
Pires laughed loudly and said: "Boss, he is David!"
"David? David Trezeguet? Are you his brother? Tell me, where did he go? Don't try to use a substitute to get away with it. Look at your figure. It's far different from David. Look at you.
My belly can be used as a trampoline, eh? It’s pretty elastic.”
Aldrich reached out and patted the young man's belly. It felt really sensual.
The other players whistled and cheered.
"Yes! I said he must be a fake!"
Schneider also started to add insult to injury.
Trezeguet touched his bald head and lowered his head, not daring to look at Aldrich. He could only say bitterly in a low voice: "Boss, it's really me."
Of course, Aldridge knew that the fat young man in front of him was Trezeguet. He waved to the players: "Today is the first day of training. The task is very simple. Go to the Leo youth training base for a physical examination. How do you enjoy the holidays?"
I don’t even care. Anyway, as long as you don’t break the law and can come back to the club, it’s enough. But, before the start of the new season, if your physical indicators are not up to standard, then you can sit on the bench. David, can you still run?”
"Boss, there's absolutely no problem!"
After saying that, Trezeguet was the first to run out of the training ground, but compared to his athletic figure last season, this young man who had obviously gained a lot of weight ran a little funny.
Aldridge gave high-fives to the returning players one by one. Some players even took out gift boxes and gave them to Aldridge and other members of the coaching staff. Most of them were special souvenirs brought from their hometown or bought during travel.
souvenirs.
Aldridge was carrying a large bag of gifts and nodded with a smile as he watched the players running past him one by one.
There are only a few players in the team who have obviously gained weight. The slightly older players, especially the team models Southgate, Nedvěd, and Larsson, obviously maintained appropriate exercise during the holidays.
And gym madmen like Gattuso and Ballack have significantly increased their muscles.
Let Craig take the players to the youth training base, while Aldridge asked the other first-team coaches to return to the hotel for a meeting.
In the conference room, he took out a copy of the Premier League schedule for next season and let the coaches take a look.
After everyone has watched it, Aldridge will first discuss with everyone the thickness of the lineup, the talent reserves at each position, and whether they need to be strengthened through targeted signings, just like last season's pre-season meeting.
In the discussion of this issue, everyone's opinions are relatively unified.
Millwall, which has 30 first-team players, would be strong enough if there were no widespread injuries.
Aldridge then divided the Premier League teams into strong and weak groups just like last season.
"Combined with the team's scouting intelligence analysis, there are at least five teams that can challenge for the Premier League next season, including defending champion Blackburn Rovers, Manchester United, Liverpool, Newcastle United, and Arsenal. And
Those who can stabilize in the upper reaches of the standings are Nottingham Forest and Tottenham, who finished third in the league last season. But this is only a conservative estimate. Every season, there will always be a few teams that perform beyond expectations. And because Mir
Wall is located in London. Our derby opponents, in descending order of importance, are: West Ham United, Chelsea, Wimbledon, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Queens Park Rangers. To sum up, I think
Let me ask you a question: Can Millwall challenge for the Premier League title in the new season and finally win the cup!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the young figure sitting at one end of the long table.
Aldrich's eyes were blazing, and his handsome face was as cold as ice.
This is a very careful topic.
The team's goals for the season are related to the plan for the entire season.
If a team has no ideals and goals, it will naturally lack motivation. It will take one step at a time and decide where to go. If the game is good, they want to achieve high goals. If the game fails, they will give themselves a break.
Down the stairs, a team like this will never become a success.
Just like last season, Aldrich's goal was to train the team, and results were not important. Therefore, when he was far ahead in the English League, he never shifted his goal to the cup. The season is a whole and has strong continuity. The consequences of losing Long Wangshu are very serious.
It may be a chicken-and-escape situation. In history, many teams were competitive on multiple lines but eventually collapsed and lost everything. The main reason was greed and insufficient, overestimating their own strength, and the team suffered under high expectations.
The blow will also have a knock-on effect.
The members of the coaching staff lowered their heads in deep thought with solemn expressions.
Premier League champion?
The myth of a newly promoted team winning the championship?!
This is nothing new. In British football, almost twenty years ago, Nottingham Forest destroyed Liverpool’s dream of three consecutive championships in the first year of its promotion to the First Division. But such a miracle is still a reality.
In the nearly 50-year history of British football, this is the only time.
In Ligue 1, there are more teams that have won the championship as newly promoted teams. Saint-Etienne, Bordeaux, and Monaco have all done it.
As for the Kaiser myth, that is still two years away.
Aldridge had the ambition to challenge the throne, but after carefully analyzing the miracle of Nottingham Forest, he found that it would be difficult for Millwall to replicate such a miracle.
In the 42 rounds of the league at that time, Nottingham Forest only lost three games. The reason was not that they had the strongest lineup in the league. The biggest factor was Brian Clough's winning tactics.
When using the simple tactics of passing and attacking, Nottingham Forest's smooth passing attack on the ground was like a wisp of breeze blowing by, eventually forming a huge tornado that ravaged the entire first-division stadium and even left the defending champion Liverpool seven points behind.
The gap finally won the championship.
Although it was not an epoch-making tactical change, it caused huge waves in England, and Millwall did not have a strong tactical advantage to suppress the Premier League's powerful players.
But the desire for the championship still made Aldridge bring up the topic.
If the entire coaching staff can convince him with reasons, he is willing to accompany everyone crazy.
Jensen was the first to speak. He cleared his throat twice and then said: "Aldrich, I think we must discuss this topic rationally. First of all, although there are thirty people in the Millwall first team, there are no players under the age of twenty.
How many? Half! They have talent and ability, but they are still growing. The game time must be reasonable, and you cannot rely on them to play all the games in a season and perform stably. And the Premier League is too competitive, as you said before
Those strong teams will never look down upon us, because playing against us means they have to get three points. There are also derby games, and even when we play against mid-to-lower teams, it will be very brutal, because we are
Only by defeating us, the relegation rival in the opponent's mind, can they be safely ashore."
After hearing this, Aldrich closed his eyes and thought.
What Jenson said makes sense. The Miracle of Nottingham Forest has another advantage, that is, after a season, Nottingham Forest has few derby games that require all-out effort!
Millwall, located in London, has two sworn rivals in the Premier League, plus other derby-related opponents. Among the 38 games, more than 10 are derby games, which is not much different from a decisive battle in terms of intensity.
will also increase, and the possibility of additional injuries during the same period will also increase.
Aldridge gave up the idea of competing for the championship in the new season. Although it was tempting, it was somewhat divorced from reality. After all, Millwall was still too young and could not withstand any negative impact. Putting too much pressure on these players would only
Let them be mentally bound by shackles.
After all, the league is a long race. During the almost nine-month long run, no one knows what kind of accidents may happen.
But Aldridge still said solemnly: "But Millwall needs a championship. We need a championship to retain players. If all four are empty next season, even I will not have the confidence to retain anyone who wants to leave the team."
Yes, in order to retain all the players in the current team, Aldridge must have a championship, a championship trophy that the players can see and touch to retain them, to motivate them, and to give them motivation to stay.
Give them the ambition and confidence to create greater glory!
