Before the game between England and Greece, Aldridge did not go to the sidelines early because he had something to say to the players today, and he was curious about the locker room here.
I have been to Old Trafford many times, but this is the first time I sit in the home team's dressing room as the coach.
It feels very strange.
Neither guest nor host.
Aldridge was the only one sitting here in the locker room. He looked around, looked at the players' lockers, looked at other facilities, touched the bench under his buttocks, closed his eyes, and seemed to see Ferguson giving advice here, and,
Turn on the hair dryer.
Ha ha
Aldrich suddenly laughed out loud and imagined an interesting scene.
After being a head coach for a long time, I have lost the admiration I had for the famous coach in the past. What I feel more deeply in my heart is the empathy for the difficulties and hardships faced by the famous coach.
This job does not allow you to stop, rest on your laurels, or sit back and enjoy the success. It is really necessary to keep pace with the times every day, understand your environment, understand external information, think, and reflect.
Sometimes people really rack their brains and try to be true to themselves.
Not long after, Beckham walked in from the outside, followed by his teammates who had finished warming up, and members of the coaching staff.
Villas-Boas came over and gave Aldridge a brief report on the condition of the turf at Old Trafford today.
It often rains in Manchester, and the turf conditions must be followed up in real time, otherwise accidents may occur. Before the game at Millwall, the scouts will also update the weather conditions in time.
This kind of intelligence update is more exaggerated than ordinary people imagine, because it may rain three or four times a day in Manchester...
After the players had packed up their game equipment, Aldrich stood up and walked to the tactical board and said: "During the year I spent with you, I emphasized discipline, transformed tactics, and had professional exchanges with each of you.
However, I have not discussed the issue of competition mentality with you, because
You come from different clubs, and each club has its own culture. There is no unified standard. But I think now, we trust each other, we can exchange such experiences and share them with everyone. If you think it is useful, it does not conflict with your own football philosophy.
.Acceptance is optional.”
Game mentality is a more complicated issue because it involves the speed of entering the game state.
Some players need negative emotions to arouse game excitement, such as anger. They will deliberately amplify things they are dissatisfied with before the game, such as the boos of hostile fans, and deliberately seek trouble for the opposing players to create hostility. This approach,
On the contrary, it makes you more excited and performs better.
And some players may need self-motivation and constant self-suggestion to prove, break through, and reach new peaks, so as to keep themselves full of motivation for the game.
Therefore, Aldrich will not use verbal motivation as a magic weapon to mobilize enthusiasm before the game unless necessary. The situation varies from person to person.
The England players held their heads high and were very interested in what Aldridge had to say next.
Excluding Aldridge's impressive record since leading the national team, his own achievements in the club are enough for him to share his experience and turn it into good words. Players who are not from Millwall here would like to hear how much they can gain. Anyway.
It's definitely better than not listening.
"In England, there has always been a saying among fans that there are two types of European football, one is English football and the other is continental football. You must understand it, right?"
Mainland football generally refers to the technical stream of European football, while English football refers to the high-flying style inherited from the "ancient times".
Players like Beckham, McManaman, and Irving smiled.
They feel it the most. When some traditional fans criticize them, they always say that they are not like English players, but European players.
Players like Lampard, Gerrard and Heskey are from England.
A matter of style.
"English football emphasizes bravery, fearlessness, and iron-bloodedness. The mainland football style is considered cunning by fans, just like Ronaldinho and Zidane, who rely on deception to play football."
Aldrich's words made everyone laugh.
It's true. It's not that traditional English fans don't like technical players, they just think they don't belong to England's style. When technical players encounter England's tough players, they rely on technology to gain an advantage, but they are at a disadvantage in physical confrontation and fall frequently.
On the contrary, all parties are "cheating" to gain an advantage. This cheating is actually meant to be a joke, but
It does not rule out that there are indeed behaviors that deceive fairness, such as diving to pretend to be injured. Traditional English fans believe that the person who falls to the ground during the confrontation has lost and was sentenced to a foul. This is a bit difficult for them to accept. They feel that the more the football is played, the softer it becomes.
Even physical contact is not allowed. Players who fall down at the first touch have always been disliked by fans in England, and this is why.
"I don't want to discuss the issue of football style with you, but I want to tell you that the British style of football and the European style of football have their own characteristics. For example, in the past ten years, they have been crazy about Wimbledon and poor, but in the
The Premier League has survived for many years by relying on the British style of play, and many teams have learned from them, and some have achieved certain results."
This group of players playing in the Premier League nodded frequently.
For a period of time, most Premier League games had a very distinctive feature, that is, after the start of the game, a certain team would immediately commit an aggressive foul on the opponent to frighten the opponent! This is actually an extension of the British style of play.
a behavior developed.
"A team cannot flexibly switch between football styles. That is to say, you cannot play British style today and European style tomorrow. It takes a long time to shape a football style.
And if you change the football style after it has been formed, you will have to bear great risks. However, the game
Mentality and how to play can be adjusted by oneself. When it comes to football style, British style and European style have their own advantages and disadvantages. But why has England always fallen behind the top teams on the world stage over many years? I think
It's the game mentality. We always use the British style of mentality to compete.
They are brave and fearless, and dare to rush and kill. This is an advantage, but it does not necessarily guarantee or increase the probability of winning. At this point, the cunning nature of the European style of play highlights the advantage. They are more flexible on the ground.
For competitions, they are better at coping with competitions in different environments. Therefore, the European style has become
The mainstream, and the British style, can be said to have been completely eliminated. I use Millwall as an example. You may not agree, but if I use Manchester United as an example, you cannot refute it. Giggs, David, Solskjaer
Players such as Ruud van Nistelrooy are not traditional British players."
These remarks made the players think deeply.
Manchester United, Liverpool, these traditional English clubs, are also changing their style of play. It cannot be said that Manchester United still insists on flying with both wings, just because it insists on the tradition of English football. Otherwise, why did Ferguson buy Veron? Let Giggs and Beckham have a separate discussion
Physical confrontation. Can it meet the standards of traditional British players?
The traditional British style of football has become history. Regardless of whether traditional English fans accept the European style of football, English clubs must keep up with the mainstream, otherwise they will be eliminated.
But some British traditions still exist. For example, most coaches will still clamor to fight the opponent before the game, making the players want to kill the opponent's whole family.
Is this good?
It can only be said that there is something wrong with it. Strength is very easy to break. In a football match, how can we fight with courage? We also need to fight with wits. Taking advantage of the situation is the most reasonable approach.
"There are no rules in football games, because every game is full of variables. Excluding external factors, the biggest variable factors are two parts, one is the opponent, and the other is oneself. Even if it is the same opponent, the players' performance and execution
There will definitely be changes in our tactics, and the variables of our opponents are beyond our control. But we
The biggest thing that can be controlled is its own variable factors. To put it simply, the head coach will have different tactics and strategies for different opponents. At the same time, the players must also have different mentality to deal with it. There is no such thing on the football field. You just need to rush forward.
, I won the first time, I won the second time, the third time, the fourth time, if I keep doing this, I can win.
What do you rely on to win? Not only do you have to rely on your own strength and bring out your strength, but you also need to understand your opponent. Know what strength your opponent is, what tactics they adopt on the court, what they want to do, and then you do it.
Make a judgment, choose one of the two, first, can I definitely win the game if I use my full strength, that is?
I can win by ignoring my opponent's thoughts on the game. Secondly, if I can't win the game reliably by using my full strength, then how can I improve the probability of winning? How can I create more opportunities? Then
You must make targeted changes based on studying your opponent’s intelligence, and your game mentality must also change accordingly.”
The players looked at each other, but Southgate showed a proud smile.
The outside world says that the winning streak set by Millwall seems to be a piece of cake, but after actually experiencing it, as the captain, he knows the hardships best. The adjustments made by the Millwall coaching staff for each game are simply not appreciated by the outside world.
You know, it's hard to see it with the naked eye during the game, but it's this full preparation that laid the foundation for Millwall's glory.
In fact, this experience is a conclusion drawn by Aldridge from the combination of witnessing football history in his previous life and his work experience in this life.
An example is Real Madrid, known as the Galacticos.
The Galacticos era was after 2002. There was no such thing as a Galacticos in 2001, but since the formation of the Galacticos, Real Madrid has prospered and declined.
There is definitely no problem with the strength, but it would be far-fetched to say how weak the defense is. Wouldn't that mean hitting Helguera and Makelele in the face?
Game mentality is definitely a big part of the performance.
He believes that he can crush all opponents, while his opponents deal with Real Madrid in a tit-for-tat manner. The strong ones often encounter Waterloo.
Although Real Madrid's offense has its own unique characteristics in the club's history and culture, its failure examples are still worth learning from.
The players carefully reflected on the games Aldrich directed them to play this year.
It is true that different tactics are used under different situations. In fact, this also affects their game mentality to a certain extent.
Why bring it up now?
Obviously, because the media and fans across England are praising this group of international players!
Aldridge just talks about tactics, is that enough?
They must have a correct and reasonable mentality to deal with during the game, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
The players have understood this, combined with the current situation and the external environment, and they all understand that Aldrich has good intentions and wants to improve their psychological quality, avoid being disturbed by the outside world, and at the same time exercise their ability to withstand pressure.
