Chapter 165: Sound the trumpet

In the third round of the English Premier League, Millwall played Coventry at home.
For this game, Aldridge is determined to win.
The atmosphere was still hot, which made Sky TV's gold commentary partner also infected.
"Hello everyone, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray once again explain this round of the Premier League game this afternoon. From the pre-season warm-up game to the last round of the league, Millwall has encountered strength today. Not as good as their Coventry. At yesterday’s press conference, Millwall coach Hall only said one word. He meant that the previous community shield lost to Manchester United, the league Pingnanampton, and the home field lost to Middlesbrough. It’s just a warm-up match, Andy, what do you think?"
"The outside world thinks he is just hard-mouthed, but I don't think so. Objectively speaking, he is adjusting the status of the players. In the first few games, Millwall did not send the strongest lineup. This is a fact, such as the past two games. In the league, Lampard and Barak and Gattuso are the partners in the midfield. Their performance can not be said to be bad. Especially when the average age of the three is only 19 years old, they still played a tenacious game, and there are many highlights. , But lacks maturity and luck, so I am looking forward to today's game. After Piray and Thuram left, Millwall, who lacked two main players, can play today what kind of football."
The players who played today are full of energy, they have already rubbed their hands to fight.
In the dressing room before the game, Aldridge boosted morale well.
"The horn of Millwall's impact on the Premier League title was officially sounded today. No one can relax before the championship is handed over. We have to tell the whole of England why we are called crazy lions!"
This filled the whole team with a belief: victory!
The game started, Coventry and Millwall had the same points, but in the last round they had a draw at the home of the London Hammer Gang, and they also want to stubbornly get the score on Millwall of the "Tiger Falling Pingyang" .
But their wishes soon fell short.
Millwall's main lineup retains the framework of last season.
Neither Pires nor Thuram are irreplaceable characters, and their departure will not make Millwall hurt.
Even, Shevchenko joined the striker and the more assisted Schneider formally became the main right-back. Millwall's offensive firepower did not decrease but increased, especially when the role of Pirlo has not attracted widespread attention. Vader is still considered to be the core of the offensive organization in the frontcourt, and marking him is the focus of all opponents, which gives Pirlo a lot of room.
I have to say that the last FA Cup eight-ball blood-washing Liverpool game was too important for Pirlo, that is, a baptism, a key game of self-transformation, which gave him a huge confidence boost , So that he began to show his talent in the role of the organization midfielder.
Nedvide attracted firepower for him in the frontcourt, Pirlo calmly dispatched in the back, Millwall's attack was very smooth, and the offensive of the left and right has always challenged the nerves of Coventry's defense.
The offense flocked to Coventry's door like a tide. Even after the offense, Coventry counterattacks will always lose the ball quickly. Millwall's defensive consistency and tactical execution are very high. Instead of pretending to be like this, they effectively cut the opponent's offensive formation to form a siege. Once the defense is successful, the defense will immediately advance to the field.
Millwall's offensive level is also very clear. Each line maintains an appropriate distance. Not only is the front-end offensive threat frequent, but it also firmly controls the second offensive point, which often makes their offensives sustainable.
After Schneider and Shevchenko hit the wall, they drove the ball to the bottom after a pass. He accurately passed the ball to Trezeguet's head. Treizege headed the ball and the ball was regretfully played. Under the beam and rebounded on the ground.
The sighs of the audience were not over. Shevchenko, who inserted Schneider into the penalty area after the match, just happened to kill him. He faced the rebound and jumped a header. He lay on the ground and did not get up. The goalkeeper was powerless.
"The Ukrainian has scored! This is his second goal of the season. In the last game he scored a goal for Millwall in the game against Middlesbrough. It can be seen His condition in the new season is very good! He can score goals with kicks and head kicks. Millwall’s young players are really enviable. Ferguson is looking for a super forward in the summer. Hall gave away Pire in the summer but he was not worried at all, because He has Shevchenko to replace, and it is very obvious that Shevchenko has a better scoring ability in the penalty area. This young man who does not look particularly strong is unforgettable."
Shevchenko hugged with Trezeguet after scoring a goal. Although he has been to Millwall for a year, he always feels that he is still a bit green and has nothing to do with strength, but shows his release, even He scored a goal and did not dare to celebrate. He seemed to be accused of fearing that he would not perform well next.
Aldridge smiled and applauded on the sidelines. For putting Shevchenko on the right-wing position, Aldridge used him more to score goals than to create opportunities because of the good assists on the right back. Ned, while Larson, a left-winger, is more comprehensive, can pass, shoot and burst, plus Capdevila's direct assists, Larsen can better share Nedved's face The defensive pressure also releases Nedved in disguise.
Coventry's offense can't be played because they can't control the ball. It's not that Millwall always plays the ball-controlling monkey on the court, but Millwall's anti-robbing defense is very good. For the underdogs who don't pass the ball accurately, it is difficult for them to overcome Millwall's defensive barriers whether they are playing ground pass or high altitude.
Thirteen minutes later, Nedved and Larson completed the classic two-on-one cooperation on the left side of the front of the penalty area. Larson picked the pass and Nedved took a shot after the ball was inserted forward. The opponent's goalkeeper did not respond, but the ball hit his chest, the goalkeeper fell to the ground, and the popped ball was easily pushed by Trezeguet into the empty goal.
The other goalkeeper's chest was stuffed, almost like playing with a chest crushed stone. After receiving nearly three minutes of treatment on the sidelines, he slowed down and then returned to the field to continue the game.
In the 40th minute, Pirlo inserted a pass from Nedvěd and unexpectedly came to the penalty area. Then a delicate straight plug broke the opponent's defense. Shevchenko successfully intercepted the ball and crossed the ball. Sen swept the ball into the goal at the later point.
The front trident took only 40 minutes to complete the goal.
In the first half of the injury stoppage time, Pirlo took a corner kick, and center defender Stam scored a goal. The score was fixed at 4:0 at work.
The fans were very excited in the first half, Millwall was back, and the wild lion, who was oppressed by the mountains, came back!
In the second half, Coventry retreated in order to avoid a bigger score, but Millwall's offensive was still a wave higher than the wave, Aldridge replaced two players in the 60th minute, and Barak took over for Peel. Luo, Fanny succeeded Trezeguet.
The remaining time was the siege of Millwall's goal against the opponent's goal. In the 70th minute, Barak responded to Nedved's penalty area and returned to the world wave with a shocking eyeball to score the fifth goal of the game.
Millwall's firepower in this game was more open, and his opponents had no strength to fight back.
Aldridge has already sat down. He will only applaud after each goal is scored. To be honest, playing Coventry, winning six or seven is not a strength. It can only be said that the two teams are not at the same level.
What's more, Millwall's current tactics are also advanced. Based on their more running, this is their advantage. How long can this advantage lead? Aldrich doesn’t know, but it’s okay for at least a year or two, because it involves a philosophical issue, not only the head coach wants to achieve it, but also requires the cooperation of players.
Because Aldridge's team is young, many of his ideas players will cooperate, this is their common pursuit, not unilateral who has achieved who.
The new physical training introduced last season will have a more pronounced effect this season.
Coupled with the steadily improving personal skills of players, Aldridge firmly believes that this group of players can achieve unprecedented glory.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Nedvide also responded to Fanny's ball in the penalty area and volleyed the ball into the net. Millwall led by six goals!
Aldridge stood up and waved his arms happily to celebrate, because this goal was so wonderful, it was the frontcourt attack team that broke the opponent’s defense through the continuous transfer of transfers. The number of passes was not many, eight feet, but almost every Feet are crucial. Using the width and space of the court, the tacit understanding between players has played an important role.
After sitting down, Aldridge saw Benitez drawing Millwall's goal line on his notebook. He chuckled: "This kind of goal can't be copied, we don't practice these in training, players practice. Getting things is actually very simple, but because of the simplicity, in actual combat, all kinds of wonderful goals can be bred on the ever-changing stadium."
Benitez raised his eyebrows and sighed a little boringly.
Aldridge began to wander the world, thinking of a more common thing: money.
Millwall received nearly eight million pounds of television broadcast revenue last season, which is related to their winning the championship in both cups. The Premier League broadcast revenue accounted for about 70%.
This season will be more than last season, it sounds like it is only 5-6 million pounds. In fact, according to the current Premier League broadcast contract, the average club is only about 3 million pounds. Of course, this is an average distribution. But the Premier League is not divided according to the principle of average distribution, but only part of the average distribution. Millwall because of the large number of live broadcasts and the high ranking of the league, so he received the broadcast revenue second only to Manchester United and Liverpool. Although Arsenal are not ranked low, they There are too few live broadcasts. They still haven't got rid of the shadow of dull football. In that kind of game, the fans in the stands are drowsy, not to mention the audience in front of the TV.
If it is next season, the Premier League’s broadcast contract will be greatly improved. At that time, only the standard of the previous season, Millwall can easily exceed 10 million pounds in Premier League broadcast revenue, so next summer, Aldridge intends to Renew the salary of the players in the team, hoping that the players will not want to leave at that time. He may not get the top salary of the Premier League, but he will not be stingy with the salary that meets their worth.
The broadcast income will increase even further after the new millennium. It will not be a problem for the rich team to broadcast more than 30 million to 40 million pounds per season, plus the Champions League, domestic cups, tournament bonuses, this is all Part of the income, such as Manchester United, is that hundreds of millions of pounds of money fell into the pocket, and this is less than half of the operating income.
Aldrich can’t run a debt like Manchester United. Although it is the responsibility of the Glazer family, like a decade later Chelsea has a debt of more than 700 million pounds, Arsenal has a debt of 400 million pounds, and Liverpool has a debt of more than 200 million pounds. Mill Wall simply can't afford it. Some of them don't care, and some earn money.
There is no doubt that Millwall must take the road of commercialization and globalization.
In terms of team building, Aldridge does not intend to always do a three-year short-term plan like other teams, investing a lot of money to buy players who can fight. He wants to build the Millwall blood-making function. This is undoubtedly very difficult, but he does not have the financial resources of Abu or the Abu Dhabi royal family, nor does he plan to go to the United States to raise funds like United.
