On the morning of returning to the club that day, Aldrich sent Yiwen and his youngest daughter Bonnie to Yiwen's parents' house before setting off. It was considered that Yiwen took his daughter back to his parents' home. Her parents lived in North London. She used to live in
East London. Later, after Iwen graduated from university and worked, I bought my parents a new house in North London.[
Aldrich was ashamed to say that in the past few years, she wanted to give Yiwen some money to improve her family's material life, but Yiwen refused. In her words, her parents were used to a dull life and their material life was not higher.
My pursuit is just plain and simple now, which is fine.
In the past two years, when Aldrich's old story was brought up again, Yi Wen just smiled and didn't bother to pay attention to Aldrich.
So at noon that day, Aldrich had a working meal in the club and did not go home.
His two sons came to his office covered in dirt and happily told interesting stories about the morning's training.
"Dad, there are so many people here, you should have brought me here earlier!"
"Hey, Coach Clyde said I'm very talented and can become a big star in the future!"
For Bert and Earl, they used to play with their neighbors in the community. The clique was really small. They were just those kids who came and went, or Aldrich's circle of friends. When friends came to visit, they could get to know each other more.
Some children, such as Xiaobei’s son.
When they came to the Millwall training base, just the large number of children in the lower age groups made it seem like they had entered a new world.
The training is not strict, it is a bit systematic, but there are no detailed rules and regulations to ask the children. It is more like scientific play.
Listening to the two of them talking to each other, they talked excitedly. Aldrich would knock their heads from time to time to make them eat well. But he always had a smile on his face.
Let them take a bath before eating, and let them take a nap on the sofa after eating.
Aldridge stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, with a gap left in the curtains. Here, he overlooked everything in the training base as before, and couldn't help but murmured: "From now on, you can truly defend your country."
...
None of the members of the coaching staff went home at noon. They ate in the restaurant at the training base because they had to work overtime and do a lot of work, which were all tasks assigned by Aldridge when he came back today.
The seats for employees and players are separated, and the first-team coaching staff sits in the south corner of the restaurant. Today, everyone discussed work while eating, and asked for mutual help when each other needed help at work.
There was only one person who seemed out of place, and that was Stramaccioni. He thought he would have a job today, but actually he didn't.
Jenson told him that when he came to the club, he walked around to find out the various places and departments. Once he knew the place clearly, he would look around to see what other staff were doing.
It sounds like you just want him to get acquainted with you first.
So during lunch, Stramaccioni asked Jenson for help, hoping that he could do some specific work.
The first-team coaching staff has also noticed that with Aldridge's return this time, Millwall's management system has not returned to what it used to be. Jenson has all the power. In terms of rank, he is now an assistant coach and is responsible for more comprehensive work.
, and it should be.
These people have worked with Jenson for many years, and they roughly understand the reason: Aldridge is giving Jenson more room to hone his skills, so that he can become more proficient when he prepares to stand on his own in the future.
This made Aldridge relaxed, but it also made Jenson more enthusiastic about his work. Power and other things are all illusory things. They may exist in other clubs, but in Millwall, no matter how great the power,
He couldn't stand a word from Aldrich, so as long as Aldrich was there and left it to Jenson, he wouldn't be afraid of trouble.
Facing Stramaccioni who volunteered, Jensen smiled and said playfully: "I want you to understand Millwall first, and don't rush to do anything, because you can only start working if you have a comprehensive understanding of this place. Otherwise,
, no matter how hard you try, it may all be in vain."
Stramaccioni was a little depressed and asked: "What else should I know?"
He recognized all the departments here and all the people with authority. He also noted down all the players and coaches of the first team and the reserve team. As for the characteristics of the players, he also recognized all the players and coaches in the first team except the reserve team.
Notes, general understanding.
Seeing his stubborn words, Jensen asked: "Tell me, why is Millwall's record declining so significantly this season? Although it cannot be compared with last season, with 20 points less in the same period, but at a discount, no matter how bad it is, it should still be
We can’t close the 15-point gap.”
Millwall won seven crowns last season, an incredible performance.
Looking at the league alone, this season is just over 20 points lower than the same period last season.
First of all, we lost 5 games in the league, which means we lost 15 points compared to our undefeated season last season!
As for Millwall's strength, although it is inevitable that there will be a decline this season, no matter how much the decline is, it should not be more than 20 points less than the same period last season. If it is 15 points less, it is acceptable. If that is the case
, Millwall will still be at the top of the Premier League standings.
When Stramaccioni saw the coaches at the same table staring at him with half-smiling faces, he suddenly looked embarrassed, and then said bravely: "This is a fatal flaw in Klinsmann's technical and tactical system. There is no professional
As a defensive midfielder, the back line lacks a strong barrier and cannot make strong attacks. If the opponent counterattacks, it is naturally easy to lose the ball, which leads to the failure to win the game that should be won."
After he finished speaking, he saw Janson raise a disdainful smile and shake his head.
"Really? But have you understood the stage changes in Millwall's record this season? It is exactly the stage you said that Klinsmann did not have a defensive midfielder. Millwall ranks first in the league in scoring efficiency! Exactly.
It was this technical and tactical system that allowed Millwall to return to the championship group. Isn't this contradictory to what you said?"
Stramaccioni was speechless.
Janson couldn't bear to attack him any more and said: "What others say, Fleet Street has been saying for a long time, criticizing Klinsmann's technical and tactical problems, is there a problem? How can there be so many problems? Who said that the technical and tactical system must be four
Does the Quartet have a fixed template? Just like you Italians would say when you warned Serie A giants in the past few years: When you meet Millwall, don't put up a 3-back formation. This is courting death! But if I ask you.
If Aldridge uses a three-back system, will it be successful?"
Stramaccioni frowned in thought and never dared to answer.
Jensen smiled and said: "If you use 433, you will succeed, and you will definitely fail with 442. Then, why should Millwall bother to train stars? Why spend money to buy Nesta? When we have so many excellent players, the technical and tactical system
?Is there really a big gap? There is definitely a gap, but it is by no means fatal. At best, it is. Using 442, the strength may be 80 points, using 433, it may be 90 points, and using 352, it may be 75 points. And such a gap
, are not enough to make a huge difference in a team. Otherwise, we don’t want to manage the team, and just study the technical and tactical formations every day. Andre, what tactical formation do you think Millwall played last season?
433? That's Fleet Street, that's what the European football commentators are talking about. In Aldrich's words, we actually played 442. Using Ronaldinho as the attacking midfielder on the side, Larsson is
As an inside forward, you will understand."
Stramaccioni was still a little confused, but his mind had been opened. He had to digest these slowly, and he asked again: "What is the reason?"
If Klinsmann did not fail in building a technical and tactical system, what exactly was the reason for the failure?
Jenson said softly: "The ability to control."
After saying this, Jenson said silently in his heart: Because of this, I don't dare to take Aldridge's coaching job. Looking at European football, who can control Millwall, which has won four Champions Leagues in five years?
Presumably Aldrich has now figured out this truth or reality.
Either tear down Millwall and start over, retaining the coaching position while leaving a Millwall that is almost at zero, or take it down yourself, and it is almost impossible to get out, because it will be an endless cycle.
, Unless the young marshal ends up with a disastrous defeat for the new generation of crazy lions and ends sadly, his invisible influence and dominance on the club can be completely cut off.
...
This afternoon, Aldridge still did not go to the training ground, but met with the players alone in the office.
The first person to come to his office was Larson.
Seeing Larson, Aldridge asked in a normal tone: "How do you feel about your condition? Can you still fight for the Lions for five years?"
Larson smiled. This fall, he will be 32 years old.
He replied in a normal tone: "Five years, it should be fine."
"Well, then I'll feel relieved about the front line."
...
When Ronaldinho walked into the office, he showed a smiling face, but Aldrich did not smile at him. He directly threw a report to the table and said: "Take this report back and read it yourself. After reading it, throw it away."
Otherwise, I don’t want to talk nonsense, and you don’t want to hear it either.”
Ronaldinho took the report and was about to go out. He pretended to salute at the door. Aldrich raised the corner of his mouth slightly after he left.
The content of the report is not complicated. It is Ronaldinho's performance on the court this season, plus a comparison with the average data of the past few seasons, including return to defense, running distance, and outflanking in front of the penalty area.
times and a series of data that can reflect a player's performance on the court.
Obviously, there has been a decline this season.
...
De Rossi, who has been at Millwall for more than five years, has the idea of leaving this season because he feels desperate under Klinsmann!
At the beginning of the season, Klinsmann trusted Pedretti. Halfway through the season, Pedretti had no chance. All the defensive midfielders were abandoned. Why? Make way for those offensive players.
De Rossi is not afraid of competition, but if he is not even given a chance to compete, how can he stay?
Somewhat frustrated, he couldn't bear to leave here, but he thought that the Roma team also encountered a financial crisis in Serie A. If he went back, he might really be able to become a hero who saved the country in times of crisis.
However, after he walked into Aldrich's office this afternoon, one sentence, one sentence, changed all the thoughts he had been brewing for half a season.
"Daniele, starting from next season, you will be the team's main defensive midfielder."
Aldrich didn't say any pleasantries and got straight to the point.
De Rossi walked out of the office in a daze.
Regarding De Rossi and Pedretti, Klinsmann was right to choose Pedretti at the beginning of the season because of their strength, because Pedretti is more experienced and slightly more capable than De Rossi.
.
However, Pedretti's potential is limited after all. I don't know if it is because he was suppressed by Gattuso before Millwall. In the national team, there are two big mountains of Makelele and Vieira, so he has not made rapid progress.
The posture gives people a feeling that they can be used but cannot be entrusted with important tasks.
De Rossi is different. Although he still needs training, his potential is much higher than that of Pedretti. In terms of long-term interests, supporting De Rossi as soon as possible is better than asking only Pedretti to protect immediate interests.
Be more worthy.
This is Klinsmann's limitation, or Aldridge's advantage. He is the boss, he doesn't care, he can give up short-term interests, and can use De Rossi more boldly and riskierly, while Klinsmann
For the sake of record, Man only dared to choose Pedretti, who seemed to be slightly more stable at this stage.
...
Aldridge held talks with every player in the first team. Some were to win people's hearts, such as Larson, some were to criticize, such as Ronaldinho, and some were to reassure the other side, so that the other side could feel confident and understand what was going on.
The club's positioning and future development space, such as De Rossi, Kaká, Ronaldo and others, and some just reminiscing about the past, such as goalkeeper Bute.
At the end of the day, Aldridge did not show up at the training ground, which was very disappointing to the outside world. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
