This morning, Aldridge drove his two sons to the Leo training base. The training base was very large, and there was a clear distance between the youth team and the first team. Therefore, Aldridge's arrival was not ignored by the first team.
Players are aware of it.
He first took his two sons to the youth team, handed Bert and Earl to his senior brother Najib, and left without saying a word.
"Just treat these two as ordinary kids who come here for training. Don't take them seriously. Maybe they are just interested."
On this day, Aldridge's two sons officially entered the Millwall youth training system for training. They were treated the same as many children who came here. There was no separate coach or special guidance.
...
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Millwall's official website released the latest news. Head coach Klinsmann was fired by the club. Millwall thanked Klinsmann for his coaching efforts from July last year to mid-April this year, which brought great success to Millwall.
Three championship trophies, Community Shield, European Super Cup, Toyota Cup, and wish Klinsmann good luck in the future.
It was also announced that former coach Aldridge would return to his position as head coach for an undetermined term.
Millwall did not hold a press conference, but the official website must have been followed by the major media in Fleet Street at all times. As soon as this news was released, it caused huge waves!
"Forget the SARS virus! The most sensational news is here: Sir Hall returns to be the head coach of the Wild Lion!"
"The situation in the Premier League championship has been reversed! With 4 points difference in five rounds, the Lions counterattacked to defend the title. What is impossible?"
"Manchester United, Arsenal, tremble!"
"The King is back! The Mad Lion's return to the top is just around the corner!"
...
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. They had just lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Many fans of Millwall in East London were depressed. However, when they suddenly heard this explosive news, they immediately sought verification from many sources until they opened Millwall in front of the computer.
Wall's official website confirmed the authenticity of the news, and immediately some fans rushed out of their homes, left the bar, and even ran away from their jobs.
Countless Lions fans came to the outside of Leo's training base, held up banners, sang songs, and called Aldridge's name to warmly welcome his return. The occasion was unprecedented.
At the training ground, all the Millwall players were training seriously, and their hard work showed up in the eyes of the coaching staff. It really made me feel like they had a whole new look.
And they take it for granted.
Aldrich, even if he didn't show up in person, was enough to have such magic power.
Stramaccioni received a call from Jenson when he just woke up in the morning, asking if he was interested in taking a part-time job. When he heard that it was to join the Millwall coaching staff, he replied without saying anything: "
You can’t ask for more!”
When he arrived at Millwall's training base, he marveled at the huge scale of the training base. He was even more excited when he saw one football superstar after another. What shocked him the most was the crowd gathered outside the training base.
Those people were excited and happy, as if their lives had undergone earth-shaking changes.
This is personal influence.
This is also the charm of Aldrich.
Stramaccioni was so envious that he forgot to ask Jenson what kind of job he should do.
Jenson is very busy. Although he has returned to Millwall, he still needs to re-understand the internal situation of the team, especially the training content and how the work system operates.
And Villas-Boas is even busier. He has to sort out the club's internal statistics on the team's player performance this season in the shortest possible time, and also compare the comprehensive performance statistics of the past few seasons to present this scientific data to the office.
Aldrich within.
Returning to the Lions this time, Aldrich's working conditions and ideas are completely different from when he took over in 1994.
He does not need to do everything by himself. He will find many reliable helpers, delegate authority, and allocate the work that he once did alone to his assistants, making his work easier and allowing him to spend more time with his family.
Even if it is a task like studying his opponents, he will no longer waste his energy on it. He will pass on his methods and experience to Stramaccioni and let the handsome Italian boy do it. He only needs to grasp the overall situation.
That’s it.
On the training ground, the players began to become absent-minded after training seriously for a period of time. They were all looking forward to seeing Aldridge, but the young coach never showed up.
At 11:30 in the morning, before the training ended, Villas-Boas returned to the training ground, whispered a few words to Janson and handed him a stack of documents. Janson nodded seriously.
Then he waved to the whole team to assemble.
When all the first-team players stood in front of him, Jenson said solemnly: "Joe Cole."
Joe Cole looked stunned, then raised his hand to indicate that he heard.
"Starting from the afternoon, you can go to the reserve team to train, or you don't have to come to train. You can notify your agent and the club will let you transfer during the transfer period this summer."
a bolt from the blue!
All the players on the first team had their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
They feel that the young coach will definitely improve discipline when he returns. It's not that Klinsmann is lax in his military management, but that Klinsmann has been under pressure from Fleet Street public opinion and seems to be in trouble. How can he offend the players again?
After the young coach returned, he did not meet with the players to reminisce about old times, but directly wielded the butcher's knife!
The first sword fell, and it was Joe Cole, the English genius who had been called for n years!
With all the players on the team present, Joe Cole looked in disbelief and lost his voice: "Impossible! How could the boss give up on me?"
give up?
That's right, he hasn't really made a name for himself at Millwall, so if he leaves now, he's been given up!
Jensen remained calm and said coldly: "Sir Hall's original words were: You have more energy to fight with others outside, and the club won't make it difficult for you. You can go."
Joe Cole has not made any serious professional mistakes in recent years. Everyone knows that he has been immoral in his private life. He will use violence when fighting for parking spaces with others. This is not the first time he has fought over a page 3 girl. Sometimes he has made headlines with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
Ridicule. It will affect Millwall's reputation to a greater or lesser extent.
Dogs can't change from eating shit, and Aldrich has no interest in educating others. In the past, he would give a fine and a warning, but now, he doesn't have the patience.
genius?
Although there are certainly talents that Millwall cannot buy, they are not many.
Joe Cole yelled unwillingly: "I'm not the only one like this? He, he, he, he, aren't they all having scandals outside? Why don't you give me a chance?"
The people Joe Cole is pointing to include Ronaldinho, Lampard, Ashley Cole, and even Ronaldo.
Now, it's a bit outrageous.
Jenson stepped forward, put his hand on Joe Cole's shoulder, and said calmly: "If you stay here, you will have no future. The reality before you is that you will only have a chance if you leave."
Joe Cole's expression changed, he gritted his teeth and was still unwilling to give in. He left like this, like a lost dog.
What he was even more unwilling to do was when he came to Millwall. What was Millwall? What was he?
In the past three years, he has rejected the temptation of Manchester United and the olive branch of Arsenal. He never expected that his ending at Millwall would be like this!
But he still listened to what Jensen said.
Yes, it does seem like he has no chance of staying at Millwall.
As an offensive player, the competition within the Millwall team is extremely cruel. Not to mention that the older generation still has good fighting ability. In the competition among the new generation, he cannot have any advantage and continues to stay at Millwall.
I'm afraid it's really wasted.
Joe Cole left with dissatisfaction and humiliation, without any malicious curses or angry words. The reality before him was: leave Millwall, where to go?
After Joe Cole left, the training ground was silent. The players did not panic like the rabbit died and the fox was sad, but were more shocked.
Because when they looked at Joe Cole's back, they seemed to clearly see: a person's fate was changed so lightly.
"Lampard."
When Janson called out Lampard's name, Lampard felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the people around him cast incredulous looks.
Could it be that the leader's second sword would hit him?
Lampard forced himself to calm down and raised his hand.
Janson took out a document from a pile of documents in his hand and handed it over. Lampard stepped out to catch it. He lowered his head and saw that there was a written notice at the top.
The team gave him a warning and a fine of two weeks' salary.
Below the written notice is a stack of news content about all the negative reports about Lampard off the court this season. They are all facts and not just speculation, because Lampard is included in those news contents and they are not fabricated.
.
Lampard exhaled and suddenly realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
He returned to the team with the documents and was only fined. Compared to Joe Cole, he was much luckier.
It's not that Aldridge has double standards, it's true that the off-field troubles Joe Cole was involved in were worse, and Lampard was just a Playboy scandal, appearing in a nightclub at an inappropriate time.
Ronaldinho, Ashley Cole, Johnson, and Ronaldo also received penalty notices one after another. Only Ronaldinho took the document with a smile.
Finally, Jenson read Southgate's name in a slightly heavy tone.
This made all the players in the team not expect that Southgate, who had no right or wrong off the court, would actually be punished?
Southgate came out, and Jenson didn't have any documents in his hand. He just asked: "Sir Hall asked, are you dissatisfied with the penalty of two weeks' salary for you?"
Southgate shook his head and said: "I obey the boss's decision."
He understood in his heart why Aldrich punished him in front of the whole team because he failed to play the role of captain!
This season, Southgate is also in a dilemma. He cannot ignore Larsson being abandoned and has a psychological conflict with Klinsmann. He just doesn't break out. He is the leader of the locker room as the captain.
They chose to do nothing. They neither warned these England players to curb their off-field behavior, nor did they stand up when the cohesion within the team declined.
For him, if he gathered the whole team to cater to Klinsmann, wouldn't it be a deeper betrayal of Larsson?
How many players came to the team in the summer of 1994? 22!
Southgate remembered everyone who left. A total of 17 people left before and after!
Who is left?
Him, Larsson, Nedved, Schneider, Butt.
5 people, only 5 people!
Ask him a hundred times who he would choose to support between Klinsmann and Larsson, and he will give the same answer a hundred times: Larsson!
A solid camp with smooth soldiers and a team that can fight side by side and rise from penniless to glory together. How can we ignore the love we have shared for nearly ten years?
If this situation were placed in other teams, the captain would have started a revolution long ago!
Jensen disbanded the team after issuing the final penalty notice.
Ronaldinho came up and licked his face and asked, "Where is the boss? I'll treat him to lunch."
Hearing this, Jan Sen smiled and said: "I advise you not to invite him, scold him, and wait. After he finishes training you in the afternoon, you can invite him to dinner again."
Ronaldinho looked puzzled, raised the document in his hand, and said, "Isn't this already a fine? Why should I be punished?"
"Oh, in the past few months, do you think your performance can satisfy your boss?"
"Oh, that's not..."
"What? Are you looking for an excuse?"
"Forget it, I'll just wait and be lectured by him in the afternoon."
Stramaccioni looked at Jenson with admiration. He originally thought that the assistant coach would not have much authority in the team, but he could feel that these players also treated Jenson with sincere respect.
Respect.
After all, Jenson also came to the club in the summer of 1994 and has been working hard for the first team. He deserves this respect. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
