Chapter 185: Create a cradle of superstars


The game of crazy lions vs. the Reds came to an end. Millwall's advantage over Manchester United in the standings has been expanded to 20.
Ferguson’s team began to recover from the impact of the European War after the first half, but the excessive draw and losing streak in the first half, plus the defeat in direct dialogue with Millwall, made the Red Devils chasing the lead The sheep's journey was rather weak.
The old Scottish man also said in front of the media that Manchester United’s road to defending is over, congratulations to Millwall for winning the league title in advance.
His remarks pushed Millwall to a higher position and became the target of the Premier League.
It's actually killing.
On the one hand, Millwall players start to float, on the other hand, it implies that the opponents you face in other teams are champions. Take out some skills to make the champion headache.
Aldrich didn't care about it. Ten thousand reporters asked him, and his answer was the same: as long as Manchester United's performance is stable and outstanding, Manchester United is still the champion.
As the sun went down, Aldridge drove home and passed the supermarket to purchase many ingredients. After returning home and driving the car into the garage, he carried a shopping bag and prepared to take the key to open the door.
Beep!
A horn sounded from behind, and he looked back and couldn't help laughing.
I saw Ronaldinho wearing a black jacket with some wind, tight skinny jeans and a motorcycle helmet. At this time, he raised the helmet goggles and looked at Aldridge with a thumbs up. Shouted at him in fluent English: "Boss, today is awesome!"
"Mr. Hall, come on, give me a signature someday, will you?"
Sitting behind the motorcycle, there was an older girl who held Ronaldinho's waist and greeted Aldridge.
Aldridge couldn't help crying: "It's getting dark, what are you doing?"
Ronaldinho said: "Go eat outside and celebrate we won Liverpool. Boss, are you coming?"
Aldridge feels weird.
You are just a player of the youth team and have not played a game for the Millwall first team. We won Liverpool. Are you running to celebrate?
He waved his hand: "No, go, go home early in the evening, don't drink."
"Relax, boss, I will definitely be back at night."
After finishing, Ronaldinho put down his helmet goggles and waved goodbye to Aldridge while driving his motorcycle.
Aldridge raised his eyebrows with a helpless sigh, opened the door and walked in.
Ronaldinho is a lot stronger than when he came last year, thanks to the training mechanism of the Millwall system. At the same time, he also worked hard to learn English, and showed it from the first day he came here Into a strong desire to integrate into the environment, adapt to life here extremely quickly.
He can’t learn English. Ronaldinho admits generously when he was eating at Audridge’s house two months ago: if you don’t learn English, picking a girl is a big problem!
The girl sitting behind his car just now is a college student he just arrived. He listened to the story Ronaldinho told before. The other party is a fan. Ronaldinho is a star of the youth team.
In this regard, Aldrich did not say anything, just told Ronaldinho not to delay training, Ronaldinho still understood that his future must be guaranteed by playing football, so he played a professional package.
Originally, he was 16 years old, and he was already an adult in the UK. It was normal for him to just have a girlfriend, and Aldridge was also happy to see his players have a stable partner, instead of playing with flowers and eyes every day. The girl staring at where is more beautiful, that is the problem.
On the premise of not affecting his job and the image of the players and the club, Aldridge was not interested in asking about the private lives of the players.
However, as a coach, he hopes that the players will be able to form a stable family early, which will help men grow up, be more responsible, and be able to focus more on their careers, rather than chasing beauty.
Players like Nedved, Larsson, Southgate, and Schneider are such players. Early in the family, some have children, which makes them more focused on their careers, and a strong sense of family responsibility also makes them Fear of excessive socialization.
After making his own dinner at home, Aldridge bathed early, then got into the study and continued to work.
Recently he is collating a text of the training concept. He wants to sort out Millwall's training system and youth training ideas, so that the club has a clear understanding from top to bottom.
The assessment of coaches in Europe is very strict, but even so, the coaching level is still uneven, the ideas are inconsistent, and each has their own opinions and ideas. Therefore, Millwall attaches importance to youth training and must ensure that all levels of youth training The echelon unified the training concept from the beginning, so that the work of teaching the players produced consistency.
This is true of many famous teams in youth training, such as Ajax, and this is also one of the advanced manifestations of the European youth training system. It is not the coach's experience that teaches the players. Therefore, many players have not played or have professional achievements. A high-level coach can succeed, but many players who are very brilliant in the era of players have been defeated after changing to coaches. Most of the reason is that they rely on playing experience to coach the team, not to mention management, but the tactical thinking is out of touch with the times. And because of the deep-rooted "successful experience of players", they can not make much change.
In general, Millwall's youth training idea is generally to practice tactics and technology when he is young, and the physical training is more important when he is young. Because the players are over 23 years old, the technical links are basically finalized. Some technical moves, 23 Years old can’t do it freely, so I don’t expect much improvement in training in the future. In the period around 23 years old, the proportion of strengthening physical training will gradually increase. The peak period of many talented technical players is very short, very The big factor is to underestimate the strengthening of the body. Most of them are too confident and obsessed with the technology of their feet, which leads to physical losses during more intense confrontations and makes them more vulnerable to injury.
What's more, technical movements are based on physical qualities, even the most common emergency stop, which requires not only the flexibility and flexibility of the body, but also the ability of the body to withstand. The bad thing is spraining yourself.
The next day, the main team of the first team was on holiday, and other players returned to the training ground to train. Some players who took the holiday will also train themselves. For example, the shameless Schneider who was exploded in the game yesterday, he deliberately returned to the team Mullenstein was found in, and the two watched the video of the game repeatedly in the conference room. Schneider was taken out by McManaman every time the clip was exploded by Mullenstein to explain to him the mistakes he made.
This is simply a question of defensive technical ability. When it comes to speed, Schneider does not lose to McManaman and fights his body. He does not fall out. Therefore, it is still a question of technical links and defensive experience.
Aldridge went to the youth team to discuss the plan for the construction of the youth team with Najib.
He plans to continue to expand the youth team in the summer, with a younger echelon.
"But the number of coaches is obviously not enough."
Although Najib agreed with Aldridge's plan, Rome was not built in a day.
"The practical problem is that, just the coach of the original youth team, I need to tell them one by one the tactical thinking of the team. Although we let the young players try not to be constrained on the court, in dynamic team tactics, they Still need to follow the tactical routine, we now have to hire a coach, and then let the coach also learn our training policy first, this cannot be achieved overnight."
Nadji’s difficulty, Aldrich also understands that standing in the office of the youth training base, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his position can overlook several training grounds outside. There are almost six teams on the court training. Different ages, but because the threshold for recruiting new teams is low, the blood that can be sent to the first team among the seventy or eighty small players is just the ones that Aldridge focuses on, and the rest is to accompany the prince. .
"How many people will leave here in the summer?"
Aldridge asked lightly without looking back.
In the youth team, except for players like Villa, Cole, Ronaldinho and other players, the contract was followed by Aldrich personally. The others are signed once a year. Every summer, the age reaches the decision stage. Many of the players will leave the team, either find opportunities elsewhere, or leave the football world.
Najib picked up a copy of the youth team member's information on the table, opened the file for review, and calculated: "There are nine players and will not be renewed in the summer."
"How old are they?"
"The youngest is 17 and the older is 20."
"Provide them with a new contract, as a coach, willing to stay, the club can train them to learn while working."
Najib's eyes lit up and praised, "This is a good way!"
This can save a lot of trouble, because the training of these players in Millwall, they can better understand the team's training system and philosophy, can be seamlessly connected, only need to enhance professional knowledge before they can go to work.
Moreover, it is not for them to be the head coach. The threshold for the team’s coaching qualification is relatively high. In England, it is basically impossible without three or five years. Aldrich has various exams before and after. It took four and a half years.
Of course, ordinary coaches also need professional qualifications, but the FA has less strict management of this kind of thing, but this affects the team’s signboard. Do you use a group of non-professionals to train players or professionals? This will directly affect whether young players are willing to register at your youth training base.
If there is a coach who wants to enter the first team, first of all, he needs a higher-level professional certificate, such as Jenson, Craig, Benitez, etc., which have passed various professional ratings in the past. .
"Aren't the team building a new stadium? In the summer, you have to expand the youth training base? I think the first team lineup is a bit thin, especially the striker. If Larson and Shevchenko are injured at the same time, you even have two substitutes. Not coming out."
Najib’s words made Aldridge look grim, he shook his head and said:
But we can’t fight for the rich, the competition in the transfer market will be greater and greater, because it is now the stage of the growth of the football bubble The star, not to mention the rich, the first-line clubs are also eyeing, we can only grab some good seedlings and semi-finished products. The most important thing is, I hope that Millwall will start the youth training signboard, in the future, not only we will search for talent, It is also attracted by a steady stream of talent."
Najib came to Aldridge and looked down at the young sweaty players on the training ground with him, smiling: "Although this road is dangerous, but I agree with you to persevere this way, it is this way that will let Our success is even more dazzling."
Aldridge nodded, his eyes becoming sharper.
This summer, there will be a huge leap in fiscal revenue. He is about to start a new round of military expansion, and he wants Millwall to become a famous "cradle of superstars" in history!
