Before Aldridge took over as the head coach of the England national team, England fans had a very strong voice in supporting him to take over the national team. According to media surveys, more than 93% of England fans supported Aldridge in taking over the national team.
However, in the selection of the most popular coaches during the same period, Aldridge only ranked second. The first place was Bobby Robson. The gap between the two was also relatively large. Robson got 30% of the votes, and Aldridge got 30% of the votes.
Only 18%.
There is a big difference between these two selections.
Supporting Aldridge to coach the national team, in the eyes of local fans, is the best choice, and it has nothing to do with Aldridge's popularity.
Just like when Florentino entered Real Madrid for the second time, many Real Madrid members actually did not like him, but under the circumstances at that time, Florentino was the best choice for the members, even if they were rejected by Florentino.
Tino was "hurt" by his superstar policy in the first period.
There are many reasons why local British fans don’t like Aldridge. For example, the highest proportion of local fans must be the traditional three giants plus Millwall, as well as those old powerhouses. Aldridge led Millwall and caused countless injuries to them.
It hurts, even if they are not their biggest rivals and mortal enemies, Liverpool fans who have failed to live up to their expectations cannot forget that Aldridge ravaged their beloved team again and again at Anfield.
Those who like Aldridge are mostly neutral fans, as well as fans of teams that have no competition at all with Millwall. In the hearts of fans of many small clubs, they actually hope that there will be an Aldridge in their own clubs.
, leading their small team to rise in England like the Lions.
As Aldridge led the national team's record to improve all the way, they climbed the ladder from the penultimate to the top of the group in the world preliminaries, and the goal difference went from negative to 20! Defeat Germany for the first time in the official game on German soil
Team, after this battle between England and Germany, Aldrich's popularity soared again!
Many fans of wealthy clubs have also begun to like him. This kind of love goes beyond the hatred between clubs and puts aside a certain level of influence.
Just like when Pele's record of 1,000 goals reaches the critical point, his opponent fans will cheer for Pele in the stands. Even when their own players destroy Pele's goals, the fans will turn around and blame the players on their own team.
To put it nicely, this is a sublimation of love emotions.
To be realistic, it means being impressed by the strong.
The mentality of advocating the strong is an eternal law of human beings or nature.
When Aldridge attended the post-match press conference, the reporters from the German media had their faces turned black.
All the football news in the German media today is mocking the England coach and the farce in Fleet Street yesterday.
It is far-fetched to interpret it as internal strife, and by the way, it also promotes the power of German football.
It’s not that they are shameless, it’s just what the coach said!
The Anglo-German war ended, and the German media was completely confused.
I didn't know how to deal with myself for a while.
Fleet Street was overjoyed. When Aldridge appeared at the press conference, many British reporters applauded him.
"Mr. Hall. Yesterday you said that German football is very strong and there is a gap between English football and German football. Is that a kind of psychological warfare? To make the German team underestimate the enemy? A smoke bomb? To confuse the opponent?"
As soon as Aldrich sat down, reporters from Fleet Street laughed and asked questions.
The smiles on the faces of these Fleet Street reporters, their words, and their brow expressions were no longer as serious as the tit-for-tat confrontation with Aldridge yesterday. On the contrary, they thought they were being fooled!
But I was happy to be fooled by Aldrich!
Bad boy, were you acting yesterday?
They forgot that Aldridge always used psychological warfare when coaching Millwall. They thought that this kid had restrained his position as the national team coach, but they didn't expect that the time had not come yet.
In the eyes of reporters, everything Aldrich said yesterday was in the service of victory. Let the Germans underestimate the enemy, let the Germans take the initiative to attack at home with the pride of being strong, and then England will clean up the German team.
Already.
Aldrich burst out laughing when he heard the reporter's question.
He shook his head and said sincerely: "What I said yesterday is my true thought. Even if you ask me now, I will still say that German football is better."
"England just defeated Germany 6-0 away from home!"
"If football is about the strong winning, then what's the fun in this sport?"
"Then what is the strength of the German team?"
"With will and determination, the German Football Association has made plans for the future development of the German team, from the reconstruction of Bayern Munich's youth training system to the long-term construction of the entire German football. I think this is the reason why the German team can remain in the world football for a long time.
"
"What you said is too far from reality."
"Far? I don't think so. On the contrary, the media always focus on the present and ignore the long term. When players like Ronaldinho, Alonso, Villa and so on appear in the Millwall youth team, you
I have never paid attention to it. When one day they suddenly broke out on the pitch, you asked why Millwall was successful. I think this
It's funny. As far as I know, Bayern Munich's youth team has a new batch of very good young players undergoing training, while England's long-term construction foundation has lagged behind Germany's, the emergence of talents, and its living space are also far behind.
Germany and England won today, but in terms of all aspects of football strength, England is still not as good as Germany."
"Mr. Hall, don't you think your statement is contradictory?"
"Contradiction? No, it's because your interpretation of the victory is too one-sided. Millwall lost to Everton last season and was broken. What next? No one will say that Everton is stronger than Millwall.
!Football is not a sport that lives in the past. Football is not a game where winning or losing can sum up the whole world.
If the England team thinks that if they beat Germany by six goals today, our strength will leave Germany far behind, this idea is simply childish and ridiculous. If we want to make progress, we must first recognize ourselves all the time.
Knowing their position, when it comes to the game itself, the German team today
Tian is not the strongest lineup. The German team was successfully restricted by us today. We showed our strength beyond the level because the England team is more eager to win than the German team. Just today, in the 90 minutes of this game, we showed
Determination and will are stronger than the other party, so I
We must recognize the reality clearly, in order to win, maintain this sense of hunger, maintain this fighting spirit, team spirit, and not allow ourselves to slack off. Put all our attention on football, we can succeed, but this requires
It takes a lot of effort, but it is not something that can be done easily.”
Fleet Street reporters are depressed again!
Young Marshal, you will die if you are too crazy!
If you humiliate the German team right here, you will die!
Reporters want breaking news.
What's more, after this game, the local fans in England will definitely be excited and excited. Who is willing to consume their newspapers and then open it to see: Aldridge believes that there is still a gap between England and the German team.
Journalists are reluctant to write such articles that undermine enthusiasm.
The Germans, who are known for their rigor, were in awe of Aldrich.
And I have real fear in my heart.
On a football field, winning or losing is normal. What will happen in 90 minutes? Does strength determine everything? Absolutely not.
Even if the German team wins, the German media will still find out the problems exposed by the German team during the game. What is the purpose of criticizing? Is it to sensationalize? No, of course it is for the German team to strive for excellence!
The England team won a big victory today and beat the German team in the away game. If Aldrich humiliated the German team in a arrogant manner after the game, the German media would vent their anger and criticize him, but they would always have the thought of looking down on the England team.
After winning a game, the victory was carried away to the point of sanity. What is there to fear from such an opponent?
But Aldridge was extremely calm. His remarks not only affirmed the performance of the England team's players and pointed out the factors for success, but also provided encouragement. At the same time, he also implicitly warned that the England team should not get carried away.
On a deeper level, it also points out the essence of the gap between English football and German football.
Can such an opponent not be scary?
Winning you today is nothing, how can we establish an advantage in the long run? This is the key point.
Fortunately, Aldridge is not the head of the Football Association and cannot change the abnormal structure of the English league. He has visions but cannot put them into practice. The Premier League is not under the control of the Football Association, Aldridge said Those are just empty words.
German media reporters thought it was ridiculous.
Before the game, the England team coach had an "infighting" with Fleet Street, and after the game, the two sides broke up on bad terms.
The English are so weird!
He came to Germany's territory and became the protagonist both on and off the field.
When he was flying back to London, Aldridge was sitting alone in the back of the cabin. The excitement of the players was obvious. He didn't say anything. Anyway, his post-match remarks will be published in the newspapers tomorrow, and they will definitely be seen by the players.
He had to restrain the team's emotions and had to warn the players in a controlled manner.
This five-game winning streak may not be a big deal when it comes to a top team, but when it comes to England, it may have the consequences of overconfidence and self-aggrandizement among the players.
Because this is a team with an immature mentality.
In the original history, the England team defeated Germany 5:1 in an away game. One month later, they were defeated by Greece directly at home. They were leading 2:1 before the last minute. With the help of Beckham's amazing kick, they turned the tide and ranked in the top 90% of the other teams. For a strong team, a draw means qualifying. Who would play the game like that at home? Moreover, the previous game was against the background of a bloodbathed away game!
It's not a question of strength, nor a question of technique or tactics, but a question of psychology and mental temperament.
Somewhat similar to Aldridge's second year coaching Millwall, the team may get carried away when the momentum is high, thinking that they are playing crazy and God can't stop them. In fact, when the opponent is calmer and more cautious, they face it When you do, you will be poured a basin of cold water all over your body.
This is a critical stage. Whether the team can create a strong spiritual temperament and match it with the tactical system currently implemented by the England team will have a huge impact on next year's World Cup.
Aldridge closed his eyes and meditated. He won two of the three decisive battles. England's situation reversed. In the last decisive battle, he had the upper hand. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, qualifying for the top spot in the group would not be a problem.
Thinking on the bright side, at least after defeating Germany, his authority in the England team has reached its peak, and the players are convinced of him. This is much better than when he was helpless at Millwall.
