Aldridge was sitting in the locker room. This comprehensive stadium, which was built only four years ago, is not a simple football stadium like England. Therefore, the internal landscape is spectacular and all kinds of facilities are available. It can keep up with the development of modern trends and is worthy of the title. Above is a view of Yokohama's sports field.
The well-informed Aldridge looked at the brand-new furnishings in the locker room. It has only been four years, and naturally it cannot be said to have any historical heritage. It is just like Japanese football, which has just started. The stupid bird flies away, but it still turns into a Kunpeng and spreads its wings. ambition.
This is the case with competitive sports. It can be as small as a club or as large as a country. If there is no ambition to compete, no ambition to reach the top and look down on the world, no matter how much you talk about it, you can't get in. Only when you are truly determined to compete can you win. There is a future to talk about.
The World Cup final is approaching, but Aldridge is asking himself a question.
Is your ambition satisfied?
I can’t answer it myself, but if I ask myself, how does my current ambition compare with eight years ago?
The answer is uncontroversial. Today, of course, it is not as good as it was eight years ago when we were about to become a blockbuster, climbing to the top and standing above all sentient beings.
It cannot be exempted from vulgarity. It has a bit of sour and detached arrogance. Who can show it? I don’t know. It’s just putting on airs. It’s difficult to make water in the sea. Except Wushan is not a cloud. It’s a bit of a master’s mentality that doesn’t know what’s true or false. Looking at the world, it’s still... What mountain is there waiting for him to climb? Who can compete with him endlessly?
Aldrich also understands that if it were not for the advantage of time travel, he would be nothing!
But since this person who was destined to be worse than a fart in his previous life has now become the top coach in world football, we should allow him to live his life as a villain and be unrestrained and frivolous.
He took out his cell phone and took a look. In the text box, there was a draft text message he had written. It was a message he planned to send to every player in Millwall after the game. It would notify all the players on the team that he would start from He resigned as head coach and hoped that the players would support Klinsmann and continue to insist that the general will serve the Lions wholeheartedly.
Aldridge didn't announce the news to the team in the locker room face to face because he was afraid. He is a soft-spoken guy but not tough on others, especially to those around him. He was afraid that the whole team would try to keep him, or that he would relent.
He is not special. He may occasionally feel arrogant when he is proud, claiming that he is better than other coaches, but when he is awake, he will still put all his opponents in a higher position than himself, so he will take great pains to study and study. Opponents, during brainstorming, always try to put themselves in others' shoes and think from others' point of view as much as possible, and they are also afraid that they will not do well.
But there is one thing he has a clear conscience about. That is diligence.
Don't look at Aldridge's success in the football circle, and his status has risen again and again. Now that he retires, he will definitely be known as a legend. But in the real aristocratic circles in England, Aldridge is mostly regarded by those celebrities. Gentlemen and ladies ridiculed them as fools who were born to work hard and did not know how to enjoy or be free. Even the prince who should be cautious in his words and deeds to maintain the royal face had more scandals and more disputes than him. All kinds of high-end entertainment and pleasure were common. Not to mention those rich people who are rolling money and lighting cigarettes, how can they become a football coach who works at his desk in the sun and rain?
Ferguson was old and had limited energy, so he began to delegate power. Aldridge did not compare with him. Wenger was not young, and Aldridge did not compare with him. However, in the entire European football world, coaches under the age of 50 are not worthy of fame. High or low, you really put energy and time into your work, which can be said to be hard work. Aldrich considers himself second, and I don’t know who dares to claim first.
He is like this, and so are the coaches around him. It is this group of young and energetic people who use their youth to celebrate their passion, and together they have established the dynasty of the Wild Lions, allowing Aldridge to feel a little proud when he is about to announce his seal.
.
I may not be as smart as any of you.
Maybe I'm not as talented as any of you.
Not as good as any of you who have learned from famous teachers.
But I just try harder than you and work harder than you. If I beat you, don’t be unconvinced!
When Aldridge came to his senses again, the locker room was already full of people.
The entire England team and coach stood in front of him, and Aldridge stood up. Whether a team is united is not just a word, it is actually a feeling.
The players are willing to work hard for you, and you are willing to pay for the players. Everyone puts the common interests of the team first. This is the unity of the general!
A group of people who got together in a year and a half, an average of one and a half months, knew each other's warmth and coldness, and knew their horse power from a distance. Over time, the friendship between the young marshal and them was unspoken.
"I envy you, really."
Aldrich smiled and said.
This made the Three Lions, who were confidently preparing for a shocking battle, a little confused. They always felt that this was the time to sharpen their swords, but Aldrich's opening remarks made the murderous spirit dissipate.
"I am a fan first, and then a football coach. If I am not a fan, I cannot love football. If I don't love football, I cannot do this job well. I am really envious of you. I envy you from the bottom of my heart, because
You are going to play in the World Cup final. If you can, try to make Michael hate me for the rest of your life. I will make him sit on the bench and I will wear his jersey and play as a forward. I like to play as a forward. Unfortunately, my one-minute career
I’ve never played in the league, and I can’t even score 20 goals.”
As soon as Aldrich finished speaking, everyone in the room raised their lips, feeling that Aldrich looked like a child at this time.
"In two hours, my work with the England national team will be over. Gareth, don't talk, just listen to me. I will no longer be England's coach, but you will still be England's international players.
The World Cup happens once every four years, and the same is true for the finals. It’s full of calculations. In four years, only 22 players in the world can start in the finals. Adding substitutions, there will be 28 players standing on that stage. Four years, 28 players, eight years.
,56 people, even in twelve years, it is only 84 people, minus the players
In the initial growth period of a player's career, the trough at the end of a player's career is eliminated. No matter how brilliant it is, playing in the World Cup three times in 2012 should be the limit. There are only 10 players who can participate in four or five times. Add up.
And the 3rd World Cup
In the process, how many professional players will be born? How many players will retire and call their curtains? Countless, countless. As one of these 84 people, am I the only one who is envious of you? I don’t know how many fans and how many professional players in the world.
I’m also envious.”
In the light words, the English players in the room stopped smiling and looked solemn.
It is not easy to get here. There were 28 players in 4 years and only 84 in 12 years, not to mention half of them were cut off to win the championship. It is conceivable that Aldrich's few words made the whole team players highly focused.
But there is no pressure from the rigid and old-fashioned incentives of the past.
Aldridge looked gentle and finally said: "This should be the only World Cup final in my life. I am proud of you and proud of myself. You should be too, to put it shamefully. Although some of you are still young
, but I think it is impossible for England to enter the World Cup finals in the next ten years. You want to ask why? I can also tell you, because England
The development of England's league is extremely unfavorable to local players. The increasing number of foreign players leaves no room for local rookies to survive, especially players who emphasize technical ability. England itself cannot compare with foreign players. Naturally, there are only a few young players.
Foreign players will easily take away their foothold. This game will be the most important game in your international career."
After finishing speaking, Aldrich walked around the players and walked outside, muttering in a low voice, but the players still heard him.
"Today, I have waited for 36 years. Will it take another 36 years next time?"
After the Three Lions generals left Aldridge, Southgate said solemnly: "Anyway, I definitely can't count on it in four years, because I will be really old in four years. John, Sol, Leo,
The three of them are the backbone, so this game is the most important game in my life. I want the Hercules Cup. An opportunity that I never dreamed of is in front of me. Guys, let’s win the Hercules Cup together.
Take it back to England, okay?"
"nonsense!"
McManaman uttered a sentence, and everyone in the locker room laughed...
Aldrich walked into this comprehensive stadium. Before the game, half of the closing ceremony had already been completed. After the awards ceremony, there were still other ceremonies. None of these were what Aldrich cared about.
, just like every artistic performance before the Champions League final, he never paid attention to it.
The German team's coach Voller is obviously more experienced than Aldridge. He has played in the World Cup finals, and now he has led the team to the World Cup finals. If he really wins the cup, wouldn't he be following Beckenbauer's old path again?
?
However, experience does not mean courage. On the sidelines, Worrell was secretly surprised when he shook hands with the smiling Aldrich: In the previous 6 games, the young coach was unsmiling and serious, leading troops to fight with an iron face.
General, why are you smiling today?
He didn't understand what was going on and simply didn't want to think about it. Anyway, this young marshal was hard to figure out with common sense.
Besides, he really couldn't relax.
It is not without reason that England's probability of winning the championship is evaluated higher than that of the German team.
It is true that both sides have players suspended, but the German team is more seriously injured. Ballack, the soul of the midfield, is suspended. This attack has suffered a lot, and the defense has also suffered a lot. England's two
Those who are suspended are all full-time role players, and it is true that it will have an impact on their strength. However, it is not painful at all for the offensive and defensive system, which cannot be evaluated based on personal strength.
Aldridge has an open mind this time. In two hours, he will end his World Cup trip.
I don't know if it was because of the victory over Brazil, but he had a vague feeling that he would have no regrets about this World Cup. If England really couldn't beat Germany, he would not only hate the irony but also scold England for supporting them.
Liu Adou, who cannot afford it, will not make things difficult for himself anymore.
The World Cup, where the world's heroes took the stage, lasted for a month. You sang and I came on stage. At the end, 30 teams came to a sad end, and the only ones left were England and Germany.
Standing in the area in front of his coaching bench, Aldridge shrugged and murmured to himself: "Well, I shook hands with seven national team coaches, no, eight, and Sweden had two coaches. It turned Japan around." , I skated and knelt down to celebrate, and I gained some limelight again. I didn’t secretly practice skateboarding and kneel down to celebrate in vain. Well, this World Cup was not in vain.” (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
