Chapter 120: Pass!

On Monday night, Millwall's game with Middlesbrough was the last round of the Premier League in this round, so it received the most attention. At the same time, before this day's game, Fleet Street also knew about Millwall's recent Itinerary for a few days.
The Super Bowl is a grand event that will be broadcast live in nearly a hundred countries. Although the United Kingdom has a disdainful attitude towards American football, but after all, this country has a certain sports status in addition to football, so when the Super Bowl live broadcast is unintentional When Zhong Scand reached the Audridge and Millwall players in the box, the British media exclaimed: Are they crazy? !
The day before the Premier League game, did the Millwall first team still enjoy the Super Bowl leisurely in the United States? !
Aldridge unintentionally won the championship at the Riverside Stadium, but he inevitably became the focus after the game. First, the team won, and second, Millwall’s recent movements have too much news.
In an interview in the mixed zone, Aldridge smiled and told reporters that Millwall had traveled for the past five days.
"Mr. Hall, what makes you in such a tight schedule, and can take the time to lead the team to the United States to watch an unimportant game? I mean, you can go by yourself, but just Don’t consider the fatigue of the team’s players?

Aldridge replied: "This is a pleasant and relaxing trip. My players and I used a short trip to reduce stress. It worked well, and it was better to let them spend the weekend alone and quietly at home. ."
"Today you defeated Middlesbrough on the road, did you ask you to give such a reason?"
"Of course not, even if we lose, I will not change my mind. There is no need to lie about this matter. At this time last year, I gave the team’s main players a leave. They did not play for half a month, and This time this year, I used other methods to achieve the same goal."
"Middlesbrough lost at home to Millwall, who returned from vacation. What do you think of Robson? Is his tactics wrong in this game? Middlesbrough can take away one at Lions Den Stadium Points, but can’t get points at home, isn’t it a good proof?"
Aldridge gave a meaningful look to this gentleman with glasses. The problem trap in this kind of interview, he always had to face it and avoid it.
As a coach, the most taboo is to comment on the ability of peers. You can evaluate any team, but you can’t directly express opinions on the coach’s tactics and abilities. That’s something that ball critics and reporters like to do. There will be a respectful etiquette, unless you decide that you will never die or will never die from now on.
Even if Aldridge slammed Redknapp and West Ham United, he has never risen to the evaluation of Redknapp's coaching ability. It is stupid to do that, because from an external perspective, it will only let Become a clown yourself, and your colleagues will treat you as a mad dog.
"Middlesbrough performed well and they were also popular relegations at the beginning of the season, but Robson gave a strong return through hard work and results. Millwall beat Middlesbrough today because of our control of the game. Stronger and more opportunities are created. This is not Robson's problem. You know that last year and this year, Millwall invested much more in the team than Middlesbrough."
After finishing the interview, Aldridge led his team back to London.
He once again gave the team a day and a half of leave, waiting to return to the training ground on Wednesday afternoon.
On Tuesday afternoon, Aldridge was called to Leo Youth Training Base by Andrew.
He came to the edge of the court in sportswear during training. Andrew's suit and leather shoes stood on the sidelines watching the youth team training. There was also a thin boy standing beside him. Observed from skin color, it was obviously not white.
"Hey, Andrew."
Aldridge yelled and saw Andrew looking back with the boy.
Aldridge was stunned for a while, looking at the black boy's appearance, and expressed a sense of nonsensical emotion: the big front teeth that can't be wrapped by the big mouth, so cute!
"Hey, Ronaldo, say hello to your boss."
Andrew patted the shoulder of the teenager next to him and said encouragingly.
The teenager was called "Ronaldo". At least at the beginning of 96, the name Ronaldo had no special meaning for Europe, and it was not as good as the ears, especially the later Ronaldo called "Alien" is now in Eindhoven. Wen is in a difficult situation because of the general's problem.
Aldridge came quickly, he already knew who the young man was in front of him.
That bite is too memorable.
"Boy, hello."
Ronaldinho, who is about to turn 16 years old, is not afraid of life and raises his head to say hello to Aldridge.
Aldridge smiled and reached out to him. The two shook hands like an adult. Aldridge did not like to treat children with a childish attitude. Even if it was Joe Cole, who was 13 last summer, Aldridge made his debut When meeting, they will formally shake hands.
The players of the youth team on the court saw Aldridge coming to the sidelines and naturally trained more hard. Now they are playing a confrontation game. Najib is commanding on the sidelines and sternly tunes the young players’ position and Cooperate.
Aldrich looked at the stadium and asked Ronaldinho: "Do you want to play?"
When Ronaldinho, who had just arrived, couldn't understand English that was too difficult, Aldridge asked in the simplest English.
He hated the British Empire of Dog Day at the moment. Why didn't he go to colonize Brazil? Let Portugal grab the ground and make the official Brazilian language Portuguese.
Ronaldinho nodded, his eyes eagerly radiating, and obviously he wanted to compete with the children on the court.
Aldrich shouted at Najib and beckoned him to come over. After Nadji came over, Aldridge pushed Ronaldinho to the front and smiled: "Give him ten minutes, um, hit the striker."
"Side or center?"
"Just play, let his teammates pass him and see how he feels."
Najib nodded, then took Ronaldinho to the coach seat, replaced him with a jersey, and then gave him time to warm up. He would be put on the court ten minutes before the end of the training game.
Aldridge asked Andrew on the sidelines: "Is everything done for his family?"
"Well, a girl’s school has been arranged for his sister. Coming out with a mixed education will make her background better, and his family also agrees that there is a store in the community under his mother’s name, which makes them very happy. To be honest, From my non-professional point of view, this kid is an artist on the court, used to watching the fierce and rough football in England, and seeing him play football is like admiring an elegant opera."
Aldridge smiled resignedly: "Do you understand opera? Still elegant?"
"Hahaha, yes, I am a vulgar guy. I have been busy recently. I have to fly to Brazil in two days. If there is no accident, Rivaldo will land in Europe in the summer. Are you interested? If I advise him, He will definitely consider Millwall, especially Millwall's performance this season is so eye-catching."
"No, you have to introduce him and knock on the FA's door. There is no place for him in the team."
"Okay, when Rivaldo landed in Europe in the summer, I can count on the signboard in South American football, and I will be able to build a bigger network there."
Aldridge nodded, and it didn't take long for Najib to approach him, and Ronaldinho also replaced the other side of the court.
Today’s game is all young players under the age of 17 playing together, including Ashley Cole, Villa, Capdevila, Joe Cole, because the physical confrontation is not very intense, like Joe Cole Er and Villa will not be drowned in tough defense on the court, they can always find room to play.
After Ronaldinho played, Najib frowned.
Just before playing, he specifically told Ronaldinho, despite the language barrier, but he told him through the tactical board, let him go to the striker, Ronaldinho also nodded his understanding.
But as soon as he played, Ronaldinho ran directly back to the midfield to get the ball.
Najib was about to raise his hand and make a trumpet call. Aldridge waved to him with a smile and said, "Just look at it today."
Najib had no choice but to give up.
Ronaldinho quickly got the ball from the midfield and backcourt. After taking the ball and turning around, he passed a robbery player from the other side, which made Najib jump. He shouted: "Daniel, how many times have I said Now! Don’t take risks and protect the space behind you!"
The teenager named Daniel just wanted to give Ronaldinho a dismounted horse, but he didn't expect that he became a stepping stone for others, and he was stunned when he came back.
Ronaldinho took the ball and danced on the court like an elf. He knocked the ball left and right, his toes swept the ball over his opponent, the sense of ball combined with the ball made his teammate Joe Cole look dumbfounded, Joe Cole Er Ke is wearing a genius aura, but his sense of ball and foot skills are obviously inferior to Ronaldinho.
The youth training coaches on the other side of the training field also stood up and stared at Ronaldinho with a dazzling look, as if they had seen a ghost!
Aldridge and Andrew smiled, and Najib was very excited to see Ronaldinho's performance, but he kept whispering words in repeated words.
"Pass, pass, pass, pass! Fuck! Pass!"
Ronaldinho's dribbling all the way through the midfield and backcourt broke through three defenders. The last line of defense was even scored by someone else's ball, and finally pushed the ball directly into the goal.
After scoring a goal, he turned around to reveal a bite smile, a bit proud, and the other children's faces were dumbfounded.
Najib slapped it on the forehead. He shook his head and said: "This child has unparalleled talent, but if he keeps playing like this in the future, it's really not optimistic."
Aldridge patted his shoulder and said, "It depends on how you adjust."
It is quite normal for talented young players to like to stick the ball under their feet. Especially for Brazilian players, it is the responsibility of the coach to teach them how to correct their playing habits so that they can use their talents in the most reasonable way.
With seven minutes left in the game, Najib called the player who had just lost the ball to the front and rearranged the defensive tasks for them. Then the game continued.
Just now they all despised Ronaldinho as a strange boy, and after being scored such a shameful goal, they obviously took it seriously, plus Najib’s command, in the next seven minutes, Ronaldinho received his teammates. The passing of the ball, want to continue to pass the goal to complete the break, but often died halfway, basically he has no room to continue after a person, was blocked by defensive players with superior numbers and joint defense tactics.
After the game, Najib deliberately left Ronaldinho and began to teach him the first lesson, while Aldridge and Andrew left with a smile.
This is a pleasant day, and it is worthwhile for Audridge to invite Andrew to a seafood dinner.
