In the conference room, everyone on the coaching staff stared at Aldrich, who was sitting at the top of the long table, deep in thought... Read the latest and most complete novel
Many people looked puzzled.
England is a lone forward, and Owen is the best choice. In England's system that uses defensive counterattacks as the main framework, Owen's speed, movement, and shooting skills can be brought to the extreme.
Just like it's impossible to find a substitute for Becks, it's also impossible to find a substitute for Irving!
Similar characteristics, but insufficient capabilities.
With different characteristics, the technical and tactical system conflicts with the characteristics of the players and cancels each other out. For example, Heskey can be a fulcrum, but what the England team needs is a shooter who fights bravely on the front line to attack the enemy!
The characteristics of McManaman, Scholes, and Irving complement each other and complement each other. This tactical system is tailor-made. If any of the three is missing, the power will be greatly reduced if a substitute is substituted.
But there is no way, the England team only has this talent reserve. If Heskey is not used, who else can be used?
Aldrich thought of many things as he mused.
I remembered that my naive plan to build two sets of technical and tactical systems for the England national team ended in failure.
I thought of the historical times when the England team fell behind in a major match and used unoriginal long passes to lob crosses from the wing to stay alive.
I think of the stability and unified tactical thinking of most World Cup champions in the current tournament.
After coaching Millwall for eight years, whether he experienced it himself or witnessed it by others, Aldridge knew in his heart that the more critical the moment, the less hesitant to waver, and he cannot have all-inclusive calculations.
You can’t calculate it, you can’t calculate it accurately, and you don’t have the perfect capital!
What exactly is the World Cup?
To put it bluntly, it is an international competition in which participating teams play at least 3 games and at most 7 games.
In a game of 3-7 games, a pure technical and tactical confrontation will not be so dazzling. First, the priority is stability. Second, each participating team will try its best to use its own strengths. If it changes on the spot, it will only lead to chaos.
position.
Therefore, among the forwards in England, apart from Irving, Aldridge can't think of any effect of replacing him with anyone else, even a forward with outstanding characteristics like Heskey. Replacing him will cause confusion in the thinking of his teammates, thereby affecting themselves.
The mature technical and tactical system is brought into play.
As for the other forwards, since Aldridge doesn't count on them, it doesn't matter whether he takes them or not.
When it comes to Irving being unable to play, he would rather use Joe Cole to play in a forward-less formation. At least the essence of the technical and tactical system is that it is completely possible to play in this forward-less formation. If someone else has another problem, Aldrich will not be able to play in a forward-less formation.
After thinking about it more, it boils down to one point: England has no chance of winning the World Cup.
He wants to cut off the possibility of commanding and dispatching troops on the spot and changing the technical and tactical system. Sometimes, changes become more and more chaotic. Only by insisting on oneself can miracles happen.
However, the 23-man roster must eventually be filled with 23 people. Who should be brought in as the last person? Aldrich closed his eyes and pondered. It has to be said that going to the World Cup is also a piece of history that he cannot ignore in the future of his personal coaching career.
So, he should try his best to leave some deeds worth talking about for future generations at this time, so as to prepare a fig leaf for himself. Even if England does not perform well, he will at least have some merit as the national team coach.
Credit for promoting new people!
Lampard, Ashley Cole, Ferdinand were all promoted by him, and now Terry.
As for the last candidate, he planned to add to his marshal's "discerning eye". After all, this person would indeed be one of the few people the Three Lions could count on in the future.
When Aldrich finalized the last candidate for the national team, the conference room was filled with silence. Colleagues had different expressions. Some wanted to object, but gave up after thinking about it. They all also thought that the World Cup is actually three games.
In the seven-game event, many players participated in the World Cup with the team, but many players did not have the opportunity to appear in the World Cup. There were many walk-on roles and they were forgotten.
After finalizing the squad, the meeting will be dissolved and the FA will submit the squad to the Korea-Japan World Cup Organizing Committee.
"Jurgen, please stay, there is something we need to talk about."
The others packed up the documents on the table and stood up to leave. Aldrich asked Klinsmann to stay.
Klinsmann didn't know what Aldrich wanted to talk to him about, so when he was the only two people left in the conference room, Klinsmann smiled and asked: "Aldrich, what's the matter?"
Aldrich's expression was serious, which made Klinsmann realize that what they were talking about was unusual.
"Jurgen, what are your plans for the future?"
Aldrich's question made Klinsmann stunned. Klinsmann did not hide the friendship he had for many years. He said frankly: "To be honest, after the World Cup, I plan to resign. I want to go back to Germany to look for opportunities.
Millwall didn't offer me a new contract as manager
, Maybe the time has not arrived, but even if the club offers a contract, I will refuse it. Aldrich, I have had a great time at Millwall over the years and learned a lot, especially from you, which has benefited me a lot.
Qian, this will be a valuable asset for my future coaching."
Aldridge nodded, not too surprised. Benitez resigned after winning the Champions League at Millwall. This season, he can also feel that the two assistant coaches like Klinsmann and Jensen have already
They no longer want to be assistant coaches. They also have invitations from many clubs. Each year they reach a higher level, and each year they are more tempted. This is inseparable from the influence of the glory they shared with Aldridge. Even though they are assistant coaches
Being a coach is two different things.
"Jurgen, I was the one who suppressed the contract renewal matter of the Millwall coaching staff. It's not that I have any objections to your work, but that I have other plans. My future plan is to leave the head coach after this year's World Cup.
I don’t plan to coach any position, club, or national team again. Therefore, I would like to extend an invitation to you again, a new invitation. I hope you can come to coach Millwall and continue the glory of this club. I believe you have
Ability to do this.”
After hearing Aldrich's words, Klinsmann was stunned and seemed to think he heard wrongly.
"You, what did you say? Sorry, I don't know if I heard it wrong. Please say it again."
Aldrich solemnly repeated what he had just said.
Klinsmann was shocked and said: "Oh my God, you are only 26 years old. Are you going to give up coaching now? Give up..."
Klinsmann suddenly closed his mouth.
Yes, Aldridge is only 26 years old, but he has already won countless honors that top coaches can only dream of in their lifetime.
Five top league championships, four European Champions Cups, including the Cup Winners' Cup, it can be said to be five European championships.
Eight years, a legendary and epic eight years. Even if Aldrich really retires, he has left his own mark on an era, and he is the most shining.
Aldrich showed a smile and said: "No, I don't have the idea of retiring completely or giving up for the time being. I just want to make life easier and relieve the sense of urgency of the past eight years. Plus, you know, Bert and Earl,
They are very lively now and curious about everything outside. I hope that as a parent
I want to accompany them as a parent, because their mother is not around, because ten years later, I want to accompany them, maybe they will reject it. We all have this experience, and I don’t want to recall this period when I grow old in the future.
Time is just about working, working, working, and neglecting my family."
Klinsmann nodded when he heard this. He could understand Aldrich, especially children. When children become teenagers and begin to have a sense of independence, they will gradually alienate their parents because they have their own space.
Thinking of this, Klinsmann's heart trembled slightly, with excitement, excitement, and unparalleled expectations.
Millwall, number one in Europe today!
The best team!
If he succeeds Aldridge, the pressure will be extremely huge, but the attention he receives in this position and the platform to display his talents are also the best!
Aldridge values Klinsmann for three reasons. First, Klinsmann is familiar with the players. It is difficult to say that he has Aldridge's authority, but he can integrate into the team faster than an outsider, and he will not have too many problems when taking over the team.
A big obstacle. Secondly, Klinsmann has passion. Unlike some academic coaches who are always taciturn, Millwall needs passion. The style of this team also requires passion from the head coach. Thirdly, Klinsmann has passion.
A certain degree of fame has certain benefits for the club's brand promotion and attention.
Klinsmann's excitement soon passed and he lowered his head and said nothing.
When taking over a new job, you must be cautious and have a lot of authority clearly.
Millwall is special, so special that Aldridge exists. Even if Aldridge is not the head coach, he is still the owner of the club. Klinsmann will not be willing to be a puppet.
He raised his head and said with piercing eyes: "Aldrich, if we talk about this topic formally, we cannot avoid some sensitive issues."
Aldrich put away his smile, nodded and said: "This is as it should be. If you have any doubts or conditions, we can negotiate and reach an agreement as much as possible."
Klinsmann said seriously: "First of all, I need to know my power. As a head coach, I am just a coach, but I still have all the power of a Premier League manager."
In many other countries, the head coach is the head coach, managing team training and playing games is the only job. However, in the Premier League, most head coaches have great power, including signings, player contract renewals, and even the construction of training bases.
Team commercial promotion schedule, etc.
Klinsmann's question is very straightforward and normal. Basically every coach who lands in the Premier League will clarify these powers with the club. As for whether there is a violation of the agreement during the implementation process, or the club's senior management takes back the power.
This varies from person to person. (To be continued...)
