Chapter 911: Waving the butcher knife

April 17, 2003.
This morning, Aldridge drove his two sons to the Leo training base. The training base is very large. The youth team and the first team have been clearly separated from each other. Therefore, the arrival of Aldridge was not blocked by the first team. Perceived by the player.
He first took his two sons to the youth team, handed Burt and Earl to his brother Najib, and left with a word.
"Just treat them as ordinary kids who come here to train, don't take it seriously, maybe they are just interested in it for a while."
On this day, Aldridge’s two sons formally entered the Millwall youth training system and received the same training as many children who came here. There is no separate coach and no 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 of this year, which brought Millwall Three championship trophies, Community Shield, European Super Cup, Toyota Cup, and wish Klinsmann good luck in the future.
At the same time, it was announced that the former coach Aldridge will return to the position of head coach.
Millwall did not hold a press conference, but the official website must have been followed by the major media on Fleet Street. This news has just triggered a huge wave!
"Forget the SARS virus! The most sensational news is here: Sir Hall returns to the mad lion!"
"The Premier League's championship situation has been reversed! There are 4 points in five rounds, and the crazy lion counterattacks the defending. What is impossible?"
"Manchester United, Arsenal, tremble!"
"The King is back! The crazy lion is back to the top just around the corner!"
...
One stone stirred up a thousand waves and just lost to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Millwall fans in East London were in a state of mind, but suddenly heard this explosive news and immediately tried to verify it until they opened the Mill in front of the computer. Wall's official website confirmed the authenticity of the news, and immediately fans rushed out of the house, left the bar, and even stole away from work.
Countless crazy lion fans came to the outside of Leo training base, pulled up banners, sang ballads, called Aldridge's name, and warmly welcomed his return, the unprecedented grand occasion.
The Millwall players on the training ground trained seriously. That hard attitude fell into the eyes of the coaching staff. I really felt completely new.
And they take it for granted.
Aldrich, even if he didn’t show up in person, was enough to have such magic.
Stella Maggioni received a phone call from Jenson when he woke up in the morning and asked him if he was interested in a part-time job. After hearing it clearly, he went to the coaching team of Millwall. He said nothing: Unbelievable!"
I really came to Millwall's training base and lamented the huge scale of the training base. I was also excited when I saw one football superstar after another. What shocked him most was the crowd gathered outside the training base.
Those people were excited and happy, as if life had undergone a radical transformation.
This is personal influence.
It is also the charm of Aldridge.
Stella Maggioni was so envious that he forgot to ask Jenson what kind of work he should do.
Jenson is very busy. Although he returned to Millwall, he still needs to re-understand the team's internal conditions, especially the training content, and how this working system works.
Boas is busier. He needs to sort out the internal statistics of the team’s player performance this season in the shortest time, and compare the comprehensive performance statistics of the past few seasons to use this scientific data to sit in the office. Aldridge inside.
This time when he returned to the mad lion, Aldridge's working state and thinking were completely different from those when he entered the league in 1994.
He does not need to do anything in all things, he will find a lot of reliable helpers, decentralize his power, and assign his work to his assistants to make his work easier, and then spend more time with his family.
Even if it is a job like researching opponents, he will not spend his time on doing it himself. He will impart his method experience to Stramagioni and let the Italian handsome guy do it. He only needs to grasp the overall situation. That's it.
On the training ground, the players began to become absent after earnest training 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 end of the training, Boas returned to the training ground, whispered a few words to Jensen and handed him a stack of documents, and Jensen nodded solemnly.
Then he waved and let the team gather.
When all the players of the first team stood in front of him, Jenson said solemnly: "Joe Cole."
Joe Cole's expression froze, and then raised his hand to signal that he heard.
"From the afternoon, you go to the reserve team for training, or you can do it without training. You can inform your agent that the club will let you move away this summer during the transfer period."
a bolt from the blue!
All the players in the first team have wide-eyed eyes and incredible faces.
They think that the young commander will definitely rectify the discipline when he returns. It is not that Klinsmann is not strict in governing the army, but that Klinsmann has always been under pressure from public opinion on the Fleet Street. Somehow, he is unable to protect himself. How can he offend the player?
After the young commander returned, he didn't meet the players to reminisce, and he directly waved the butcher's knife!
The first knife fell, slashed by the English genius Joe Cole who was called N years!
With the entire team of players present, Joe Cole was incredulous and lost his voice: "Impossible! How can the leader give up me?"
give up?
That's right, he hasn't really made a name for himself in Millwall, and now he leaves and is abandoned!
Without changing his face, Jenson said coldly: "Sir Hall's original words are: You have more energy to fight against people for jealousy and fight outside. The club is not difficult for you, you go."
Joe Cole has not made any professional mistakes these years. Everyone's unchecked private life is well-known. It will be rough to grab a parking space. It is not the first time for the third version of the girl to fight. It is not the first time. Shame, more or less, will affect Millwall's reputation.
The dog can't change the way to eat shit, and Aldridge is not interested in educating others. He used to be fined, and now he doesn't have the patience.
genius?
Although there are certainly geniuses that Millwall cannot buy, there are not many.
Joe Cole shouted reluctantly: "Isn't it like me alone? Isn't he, he, he, he, all gossip outside? Why not give me a chance?"
The people Joe Cole pointed at were Ronaldinho, Lampard, Ashley Cole, and even Ronaldo.
At this time, a little bit angry.
Jenson stepped forward and pressed his hand on Joe Cole's shoulder, said lightly: "Stay here, you have no future, the reality before you is that you only have a chance if you leave."
Joe Cole's look changed, and he was still unwilling to gritt his teeth, so he left like a lost dog.
He was even more reluctant when he came to Millwall, what was Millwall? What is he?
In the past three years, he has rejected the temptation of Manchester United, rejected the olive branch of Arsenal, did not expect the ending in Millwall will be like this!
But he still listened to Jensen's words.
That's right, he stayed at Millwall again, and it really didn't seem to have any chance.
As an offensive player, the competition in the Millwall team is extremely cruel. Not to mention that the older generation still has good combat strength. In the competition of the new generation, he does not have any advantage. He continues to stay in Millwall. I'm afraid it's really lame.
Joe Cole left with anger and humiliation, and did not issue any vicious curse or angry words. The reality in front of him is: Where to leave Millwall?
After Joe Cole left, there was silence on the training ground, and the players did not panic like Rabbit's Dead Fox and were more shocked.
Because they looked at Joe Cole's back, as if clearly seeing: a person's fate was changed lightly.
"Lampard."
When Jenson called out Lampard's name, Lampard fell into the ice cellar as a whole and cast incredible sights around him.
Could it be that the boss's second knife will cut him?
Lampard Qiang calmed down and raised his hand.
Jenson took a copy from the stack of documents and handed it out. Lampard caught up and looked down. At the top was a written notice.
The team warned of a two-week salary penalty.
Below the written notice, there is a stack of news content about Lampard's negative reports outside the court this season, all of which are facts, not catching the wind and catching the shadows, because those news content have the figure of Lampard, not made up by the blind. .
Lampard exhaled, suddenly realizing that he was sweating.
He took the file back to the team, but was only fined, and he was too lucky compared to Joe Cole.
It's not that Aldridge has a double standard. Indeed, Joe Cole is involved in the off-site right and wrong, and Lampard, just a scandal, appeared in a nightclub carnival.
Ronaldinho, Ashley Cole, Johnson, Cristiano Ronaldo, these four have also received punishment notices, only Ronaldinho received the documents with a smile.
In the end, Jenson pronounced Southgate's name a little heavily.
This made the whole team's players never think that Southgate, who is right and wrong outside the court, should be punished?
Southgate was on the line, and there were no more documents in Jenson's hands. He just asked: "Sir Hall asked, fine you for two weeks' salary, are you dissatisfied?"
Southgate shook his head and said, "Observe the boss's decision."
He knew in his heart why Aldridge punished him in front of the team, because he did not play the role of captain!
This season, Southgate was also caught in a dilemma. He couldn’t ignore Larsson’s abandonment and psychologically resisted Klinsmann, but it didn’t explode. He was the leader of the locker room. He chose inaction from the stand, neither warned these England players to converge off the court, nor did he come forward when the cohesion of the team declined.
For him, would it not be a deeper betrayal of Larson if the whole team was gathered to cater to Klinsmann?
How many players came to the team in the summer of 94? 22 people!
Everyone who left, Southgate remembered, left and right, a total of 17 people left!
Who is left?
He, Larson, Nedved, Schneider, Bout.
5 people, only this 5 people!
Ask him a hundred times. Between Klinsmann and Larson, who did he choose? He would answer the same answer a hundred times: Larson!
The iron-battled soldiers, a team, can fight side by side, from a nameless to a glorious common, how can the situation of the past ten years be ignored?
If this situation is placed on other teams, the captain will have already unleashed a revolution!
Jenson disbanded the team after making the last penalty notice.
Ronaldinho came up and licked his face and asked, "Where is the boss? I invited him to lunch."
Jensen said with a smile: "I advise you not to invite, look for scolding, wait, wait for him to finish training you in the afternoon, and then invite him to dinner."
Ronaldinho looked puzzled and raised the document in his hand, saying, "Aren't all fines? What else to train?"
"Oh, in the past few months, do you think your performance will satisfy your boss?"
"Ah, that's not..."
"What? Looking for an excuse?"
"Forget it, I'm honestly waiting for him to talk in the afternoon."
Stella Maggioni looked at Jenson admiringly. He originally thought that the assistants would not have much authority on the team. However, he could feel the players and treat Jenson from his heart. respect.
After all, Jenson came to the club in the summer of 1994 and has been working hard for the first team. This respect is due to him.
