Chapter 1001: team leader

It should have been a brilliant victory in the eyes of outsiders, but at the moment when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Aldridge did not smile.
He hastily shook hands with French team coach Santini and went to an interview.
In fact, this French team is not particularly strong in Aldrich's eyes.
In addition to the aura of defending champions, paper strength is certainly not to be underestimated, but as far as the technical and tactical system is concerned, the French team has exposed many problems.
Moreover, the structure of the French team is not his favorite.
That is, all the burden is on one player.
France with Zidane and France without Zidane are two teams.
With the French team of Zidane, his status also directly determines the overall strength of the French team.
This architectural model is slightly fragile.
After completing the last substitution at 3:0, Aldridge's mind left the court, and he was completely unhappy because of Southgate's departure.
He is 34 in the fall. How long does it take to recover from this injury? When will you return to the stadium next time?
It may not just be the farewell of a captain of the England national team, the ten-year legendary captain of the Millwall Club has also reached the countdown to the curtain call.
In an interview on the sidelines, Aldridge frowned slightly, and the interviewer found his look and asked curiously: "Through your expression, it seems that for the first game of England, the 3-0 victory over the defending champion France team is not Too satisfied?"
Aldridge didn’t look at the camera and wrote lightly: "We played well in the game. We are stronger than the French team in terms of player status and fighting spirit, so we deserve to win, 3:0 , A score that satisfies me, but this does not mean anything. The European Cup has a very frequent schedule, and the interval between the games is only 3 days. We have to turn our attention to the next match with Switzerland."
"You seem absent-minded?"
"Of course, there are players injured in England, our captain, Gareth Southgate, I am going to visit him now, bye."
Aldridge turned around and left.
As for French player Vieira's remarks that criticized the England team's rough play in an interview, Aldridge didn't care at all, even his teammate Lizarazu did not agree with Vieira's point of view.
"I don't think the British have done anything wrong. They just defended very well. The reality is: This is not the England team we are used to, but they haven't done anything wrong. They just defended well."
The players returned to the locker room one step in advance. They were celebrating this victory that should be proud and evaluated as "great".
In the locker room, many players took off their clothes to prepare for a bath. The floor was cluttered. I don’t know who turned on the stereo. I connected the player and played lyrical music. It didn’t match the current atmosphere.
Two years ago, the popular song in the British music scene "Everything is possible".
Ashley Cole, Gerrard, and Irving sat on their shoulders and wobbled together with a soothing rhythm, singing in unison.
"Because you have faith in me, everything is possible..."
Aldridge didn't intend to enter the locker room, but after hearing the singing in the locker room and the laughter of the players, he stopped and turned around and walked back, pushing the door in.
His appearance did not cause the players to be nervous. Everything was similar to the past. Winning the game was still a big victory over France. There are some activities to celebrate self-entertainment in the locker room, which is normal.
However, when he went to unplug the stereo, the locker room became silent.
The players closed their mouths subconsciously, and the players who sat up also stood up, quite trembling.
Aldrich closed his eyes and stood around the internationals of the Three Lions. Only one of the 23 people who went on this expedition was missing.
His cold voice was spoken word by word.
"I have my job, you, you have your job. I do my best to do my job well, and you should do my best to do your job to me! Do what you can do The best! It is glory to put on the national team jersey. Before glory, it is the responsibility!
It's hard to say that Aldridge is a perfectionist, but he does have a working attitude of excellence, just like Millwall's mainstream status is winning, winning, but after the victory? Haha Hale happy celebration is over? No, of course not, there will still be coaches who point out the shortcomings of the players when summing up the game, hoping that the players will take the precautions or fail to reach the best, and strive for future improvements.
In normal times, he will not disturb the players at this time, nor will he use such a sharp attitude, but he just couldn't hold back, or he doesn't think he should be patient!
The surrounding England internationals, each bowing their heads in the last game, began to wonder if they had made mistakes in the game and to reflect on themselves.
Most of the players who didn't play have turned their attention to Beckham, because during the process of Aldridge's command of the game, the only anger was against Beckham. These players saw the bench clearly.
Aldridge ignored the chilling internationals and walked straight out of the door.
Beckham chased out the first time.
In the hallway outside the door, Beck said to Aldridge's back, "Coach, I..."
Aldridge turned around horrorly. He didn't need to look at him to know that the person in front was Beckham, who was familiar with Beckham's voice.
Beckham saw Aldridge's expressionless expression and suddenly couldn't talk anymore.
Aldrich said to him: "David, I don’t know if you left Manchester United to concentrate on being a commercial star. Maybe you are not in the best shape, maybe you are discouraged by Real Madrid’s bad season. Yi Leng, you used to be the most diligent player. Without diligence, you can only sell jerseys in Real Madrid! What do you think your performance is today? In addition to a breakthrough, one or two passes, Do you have a sense of presence on the court? I didn’t finish my words just now, I don’t want to embarrass you! Today, you are officially the captain of England. The captain’s armband is not a high honor, but a heavy sense of responsibility than everyone imagines! Is Gareth here, will he allow his teammates to celebrate unattended by the dressing room? If..."
Aldridge didn't want to go any further, he turned around and continued to walk away, with a painful and brutal expression, he scolded hardly: "F!"
He almost blurted out a moment ago. "If you are injured and Gareth continues to fight, then the situation should be better!".
No matter how many people around the world are admiring Beckham, in Aldrich's eyes, letting Southgate and Beckham choose, he will not hesitate to choose the former.
why?
Because ten years!
No training absent in ten years!
I have never said anything in front of the media for ten years that will cause troublesome remarks!
Ten years of hard work and blame!
Southgate's strengths and weaknesses are clear at a glance, but he is working hard every day, and even after 30 years of age, he is trying to maintain his status so that he can contribute more to the team!
It's not polite to say that if Aldridge coached Manchester United, Beckham would have been cleaned for a long time. His eyes are not tolerant of sand, and his authority is not to be challenged by the slightest!
At this moment, he did not want to listen to any refutation from Beckham.
Was he unhappy in Madrid?
Is Real Madrid too much business activity?
go away!
That is your own choice!
In my team, you can’t do the best, it’s your problem!
Not to mention the captain who should serve as a role model!
At the end of the game, the England players, both on and off the court, were particularly excited, with only great joy in their heads.
Because they beat the biggest favourite to win the European Cup this time, defending champion France!
And beat the opponent with such an impeccable score of 3:0!
It seems that every player has seen the great glory of replicating the French team to win the World Cup first and then the European Cup!
Because of this, they celebrated in the dressing room with some air.
But Aldridge suddenly reprimanded and warned, pouring a pot of cold water on their heads, making them quickly aware of two things.
First, Aldridge is not satisfied with them!
Second, this time should not be celebrated!
Whether it's Millwall players, such as Ashley Cole, or formerly playing Millwall players, such as Lampard, they understand Aldridge's outbreak after calming down.
Southgate's injury has hit Aldridge very hard.
In addition to ten years of apprenticeship, there is also a major impact on the dressing room!
Even players who have left Millwall have to admit that Southgate’s role in the locker room has stabilized the interior. It was only last season that Millwall’s locker room had signs of confusion, but After all, it was Klinsmann who moved the locker room. Another veteran meritorious leader, Larson, who could never shake the leader status. To some extent, if there was no Southgate at the time, maybe Millwall that season It will end in a big crash, not the last regretful defeat of the league at the last moment.
Southgate was sent to a hospital in the Portuguese capital after being injured in the game.
After Aldridge arrived, he learned of Southgate’s injury and was not optimistic. The detailed diagnosis report was later, but at least four months of injury treatment is certain. If it is more serious, it may be more than half a year, farewell 2004 ...
Southgate’s family also came to Portugal to cheer for him. Unexpectedly, this is the picture now. Southgate himself has adjusted his mentality. The 34-year-old man has not seen anything in the wind and waves. Tears may have a sense of destiny that can't be controlled. When you arrive at the hospital, you completely admit your fate, and then you must make your face laughter in order not to worry your family.
Aldrich came to visit Southgate, and he must not be able to hang his face. He tried to make his expression lighter. He walked into the ward and sat by the bed. The first sentence to Southgate was with a smile: " Take care of my wounds, but I still have to wait for you to win a lot of championship trophies."
Southgate smiled, silenced for a moment, and then said: "Boss, even if my injury comes back, I will definitely not be worthy of Millwall's starter. Give the opportunity to young people."
Aldridge turned his head to look at the wall, his eyes were a little wet, and said in a deep voice: "Garez, don't say that, be confident in yourself, believe me, you will always deserve it."
"I have been able to dominate the main position for ten years. I am very satisfied. It is time for young people to take over. Lucas and Andrea are very good candidates. Lucas is 26 and Andrea is 23. Ten years ago, I was 24 years old, huh, of course, if the leader can bring a second world-class defender like Alessandro from the transfer market, I must agree, because it will make us crazy lion change To be more powerful."
Aldridge got up and his tone became a little harsher. He didn't go to Southgate and didn't want the other party to find his wet eyes.
"Gares, you can't command me. Remember, I'm your boss, you, you must obey me! Listen clearly, take care of your wounds, don't think about it! I'm waiting for you to come back."
After speaking, Aldridge left the ward. He held the wall with one hand outside the ward, covering his closed eyes with one hand, and stood for a while before leaving.
The reporter who came to inquire about the news came, and the English team also led Beckham to visit Southgate.
The next day, Fleet Street focused on the victory of England, and also deliberately highlighted the news that Beckham led the team to visit Southgate to promote unity within England!
