Thanks to "Thieves" and "Qingqing Little Wolf" for the reward!
--------------------------
The Millwall youth team has been expanding its echelon, and now it has begun preparations for the U10 age group. With its rapid increase in fame, more and more parents are willing to send their children for trial training. The resulting problem is: the children are too young.
, no one dares to draw a conclusion easily whether he has talent or not.
Talent does not appear at the age of 3 or become a blockbuster at the age of 6.
I have never heard of a team directly denying a player under the age of 12.
If you receive training earlier, you may be able to discover your child's talent earlier and guide the talent to emerge in a more targeted way. Even if you can't see what kind of talent you have for the time being, it doesn't matter, just accept the training step by step. Such training and
Professional players are two different things. They are more standardized based on hobbies. Then as the children grow up, those who win in competition among their peers will naturally become more eye-catching.
Therefore, Millwall will recruit players in groups in the lower age groups. Basically, as long as there are parents who are willing to let their children come for training and can agree on the training time, then Millwall will accept it, so within the training base
The youth academy has a lot of people, so it needs more coaches and more employees.
Aldridge provided Jamie with a low-level job as a groundskeeper, a handyman like cleaning up debris and cleaning the training ground, and he could receive a low salary while receiving coaching training at Millwall.
It can be regarded as an internal benefit of Millwall, and all employees can enjoy it. Even some old employees can let their children attend classes for free.
Jamie changed from a restaurant employee to a handyman, and his salary was almost not improved. But he was very happy, thanked Aldridge repeatedly, and then left excitedly to welcome his new future.
Aldridge has no disciples in the coaching field, ever.
Even if Fleet Street sometimes hypes up this season that Benitez learned from Aldridge. In La Liga, he led Valencia to a superior performance. Every time Aldridge was asked by reporters, he would clarify very seriously that he and Benitez were not the same.
There is no mentoring relationship. Benitez used to be an assistant coach at Millwall and there was a cooperative relationship between them.
But Fleet Street will still be happy to hype it up, saying that Valencia led by Benitez has a tough defense and has the shadow of Millwall. Aldridge simply wants to spit Fleet Street in the face: Valencia before Benitez took over.
In Cooper's hands, they are a team known for their defensive counterattacks, and they have nothing to do with Millwall!
Then it will be said that Benitez played a rotation of offensive players in Valencia, which was also a subtle rotation strategy copied from Aldrich.
Aldridge was extremely helpless about this. Valencia sold all their good players to cash out. Benitez's cards were just like that. The rotation he played was both forced and unexpected, allowing the opponent to make targeted deployments.
The reason for making a mistake is that this is where Benitez's own skills and tactics are superb.
You know, Valencia is at the top of La Liga. However, almost 30 rounds of the game have been played, and there is not even one player in Valencia's team who has scored more than 10 goals!
Henry's goals in the league and Champions League this season are only 10 goals away from Valencia's current number in the league. It is conceivable under what circumstances Benitez led Valencia to the top in La Liga.
Champions advance: There is no stable scoring point!
This also made Aldrich admire him. Of course, he and Benitez are not in a master-disciple relationship. If he really wants to find a disciple-disciple background for Benitez, it should be from Real Madrid.
Assistant coach Jenson also has a cooperative relationship with Aldridge, and they mostly communicate with each other, and it is not a matter of who teaches whom. Klinsmann can be regarded as Aldridge's half apprentice, and if Boas takes up the position of head coach in the future, it is estimated.
He really has the background of a disciple of Aldrich, but these are based on the working environment. Really, purely based on preaching and teaching, ten years later, when people talk about Aldrich's disciples, the first one is,
His name is Jamie Brown.
...
The next day, he returned to the club and worked step by step. The players on the team greeted Aldridge one after another. Aldridge was not used to being cared for so much by most people. Although it actually made him feel warm inside, it made him seem a little fragile.
He told everyone that the incident of the theft at home has cleared up, and Millwall has now begun its end-of-season sprint and should not be distracted by anything outside.
At the weekend, Millwall will visit Elland Road to face Leeds United.
Time goes back three months. At Christmas, Leeds United ranked second in the standings. Three months later, Leeds United's ranking slipped to sixth place in the standings, 4 points behind Newcastle United in fifth place and 4 points behind Newcastle United in fifth place.
There is a 7-point gap between Manchester United in the fourth place.
What happened during these three months?
To be precise, in the two and a half months starting from mid-January, Leeds United failed to win a single victory in 7 league games!
Lost to Newcastle United, Chelsea and Liverpool respectively.
Draws with Arsenal, Middlesbrough, Charlton, Everton.
Only scored 4 points in 7 rounds and lost 17 points!
Moreover, they lost points to Liverpool and Newcastle United and were defeated by their opponents, which is equivalent to a 6-point battle!
After these 7 league games, Leeds United suddenly dropped from second place to sixth place in the standings. The "fighting for fourth place" promoted by Fleet Street during Christmas has also become "fighting for fourth place in the league."
It is not difficult to understand why Ridsdale called Arthur and asked for accommodation, but Arthur refused. At the same time, Millwall's legal team was also ready, as long as Leeds United completed a deal with the former Millwall
If there is a transaction related to our players, Millwall will require Leeds United to immediately pay 30% of the transfer fee. If Leeds United delays, then they will meet in court!
Arthur's words have been lingering in Aldrich's mind, and the appearance of Jamie has further deepened this impression. Countless scenes flashed through Aldrich's mind, some fans celebrated wildly, some fans cried bitterly, and some fans
Carefully drawn cheering slogans...
He rarely targets anyone in particular on media platforms, and even if he engages in psychological warfare, he will be very restrained.
But today, with O'Reilly without a win in seven league games, he is no longer able to protect himself. He still dares to jump out and challenge Aldridge? Isn't this self-humiliating?
O'Reilly backed away and said it was just an ordinary league game.
But Aldridge took the initiative to fire at O'Reilly during the pre-game press conference.
"In England, the role of the head coach is very special. Because the head coach has very great power, maybe it is inappropriate for me to say this. Because I am both the head coach and the club owner. However, as the head coach, I will not ask the club
Senior management's suggestions are unrealistic and beyond the club's ability to bear
As a boss, I will not agree to such an unreasonable request from the head coach. Leeds United is in dire straits, and we don’t have to hide it or pretend to ignore it. If Leeds United cannot be ranked in the top four at the end of the season,
They are finished. The Leeds United players we have become familiar with in recent years
It’s beyond recognition. Whose responsibility is this? We all know it, but we still remain optimistic. In my opinion, when investment institutions lose interest or patience in football, then the former business partners will immediately become your deadly enemies.
.I don't like O'Reilly, I don't like Ridsdale, they don't
They have the right to gamble with Leeds United. But they did so. For the time being, they will lose. They will lose miserably. They will lose so badly that the entire football world will remember them and take a warning. Millwall will beat Leeds tomorrow.
United, if they want to get points, they must show courage and strength."
The reporters at the scene were shocked. It was originally a routine press conference, but Aldrich took the initiative to give him explosive information.
Damn, that's what reporters love about Aldrich.
This young marshal is indeed rigid, stubborn and unkind at times, but he is really brave and courageous. If he doesn't like you, he just doesn't like you. He is really merciless when he wants to add insult to injury!
The reporters are very understanding. It's normal for Aldridge not to like Leeds United.
After Millwall suddenly emerged and won the Champions League, they have never been arrogant. They are still relatively low-key and pragmatic. What about Leeds United? After one season of good performance, their tail is raised to the sky, coupled with the large investment, they are simply crazy.
This is a bit like a nouveau riche. From club management to fighting grievances, why does Aldridge like Leeds United?
It is normal for him to say these words now. Although there is a suspicion of adding insult to injury, every word of it makes sense.
In terms of operations, the most successful clubs in the Premier League are Manchester United, Arsenal, and Millwall. Financially, they live within their means. Manchester United currently ranks only after Millwall in terms of total assets. Arsenal can borrow money to build a new stadium. This is
It is a transitional period. Once they move into the new stadium, their finances will immediately improve. There is no problem with their general operations, but they are a bit tighter.
On the other hand, Leeds United cannot cover the team's huge financial expenses with operating income alone. In this way, they have to take out loans to buy players every season. This is gambling. Betting on whether they can enter the Champions League or not, next season
It is destined to suffer heavy losses. Since it failed to reach the Champions League last season, the financial deficit this season has accumulated to more than 40 million pounds!
If we cannot get Champions League tickets at the end of this season, we are destined to suffer losses next season, and the accumulated deficit will increase significantly.
It can be said that these three months were a critical turning point in Leeds United's survival.
Three months ago, Leeds United ranked second in the league and looked certain to win the Champions League next season. At that time, Ridsdale actively contacted commercial institutions in an attempt to borrow some more money to ease the financial pressure this season. However, three months later, those teams
All investment institutions that had made some progress in negotiations with him left the negotiation table, and investment institutions that had previously had loan agreements began to come to collect debts!
Investment institutions began to lose confidence and patience in Leeds United.
No one is willing to lend money to Leeds United anymore, creditors begin to collect debts, and Leeds United's life hangs on a thread!
Their destiny is still in their own hands. If they successfully counterattack in the last ten rounds of the league and win the top four in the league, then they may be able to restore the confidence of some investors.
But at this time, Leeds United must first defeat the defending Premier League champion Millwall! (To be continued)
