Chapter 221: Blue civil war

The next day after winning the championship, Aldridge enjoyed a warm dinner at his parents’ house in the evening, but it was a pity that the eldest brother did not return in the United States.
After dinner, Aldridge and Melanie went to the cinema to watch a movie, and then returned home to Wushan.
On the 17th, the morning of the FA Cup final.
Aldridge drove to the team’s training ground early in the morning outside the training ground. Because of the weekend, many fans came here early to shout the flag for the team. Before the training began, the players would also go outside to give Fans sign.
The fans were enthusiastic and looked at the players on the training ground with happiness.
Aldrich came to the training ground in sportswear, and the coaches were all there. Before the training began, other members who were a little slower also came out of the locker room.
From their relaxed expressions, their mentality can be seen, and their mental state is also good. Obviously yesterday’s holiday, the main players did not indulge.
"Hi, boss."
The players greeted Aldridge one by one, and they were still smiling at first, but when they saw the expressionless Bettnis and the opponent with a thick stack of documents in their hands, most of the players looked away and eccentrically. Far away.
Most of them were afraid of Benitez.
Especially Pirlo and Schneider.
Aldridge is the head coach, but in the club's first team work, he does not have the energy to do everything on his own.
For example, he focuses on tactical layout and locker room management and on-site command.
The team's specific technical training is Mullenstein, physical training is Babu, and tactical training is Benitez. Jenson coordinates all aspects while maintaining communication with players in training.
The other first team coaches are distributed in different groups.
Benitez is a perfectionist, which makes many players can't stand him.
Even if Nedved won the best in a game, even if he passed 70 times and succeeded 60 times, the success rate exceeded 80%, and there are other excellent transcripts, but a new day after the game In training, Benitez will praise Nedved: Pavel, did a good job yesterday, let's talk about your ten pass errors yesterday.
Benitez's demand for player excellence makes some players really unbearable. At this time, either Jenson or Aldridge will become the listener of the players' private complaints.
It sounds like this is the first team coach singing a white face and a black face, in fact it is exactly the same.
In the past, the role of Benitez was that of Aldridge, but he would not be as "perverted" as Benitez. However, it is reasonable to have higher requirements for players, otherwise, the players will meet 80% Passing success rate, I think this is the best self, maybe in the short term, but in the long run, this may not be a good thing.
After warm-up training, Benitez took his notebook and prepared to go to the players for a single conversation, which made the players just after jogging look like enemies and their faces changed.
Aldrich grabbed Benitez's arm and shook his head slightly, laughing: "It's okay today. After the afternoon game, they will take a vacation. What you say to them now will have no effect."
Benitez hesitated for ten seconds, and finally showed a helpless expression: "Well, I hope they can let us have a happy holiday."
"I have confidence in them."
Seeing Benitez did not come over, the players looked at each other and finally relieved with relief.
To be honest, after finishing the last game of the season this afternoon, they will leave. At this time, they don’t want to discuss with the coach any of their content in the game the day before yesterday. Even if they have time to discuss it, what about? Do you still come back for training tomorrow?
There is no intensity in the morning training, the players just came to relax.
The coaches didn't supervise them either, Aldridge chatted with Mullenstein.
"Really? What's the use of that stuff?"
Mullenstin asked curiously.
Aldrich said: "There are tennis ball players used in tennis training. I asked the manufacturer to order a batch of soccer ball players. It is the same principle as tennis balls, but the mechanical structure has been enlarged. I think, you can train players to handle the ball. , Don’t you think that some aspects of player technical training are too static now?"
Mullenstin fantasized in his mind.
Tennis serve machines are nothing new, or more intuitive in baseball training, where the serve machine shoots the ball and the baseball player swings to practice batting.
Football serve machine?
"Is it for the goalkeeper?"
Mullenstin thought of this first.
Aldridge smiled and said: "You can train the goalkeeper to save, but if you adjust the angle of the machine, the shots will also have different trajectories, so that you can train the players to stop the ball at medium and long distances, especially the players are difficult to predict. The ball shot from the machine needs a short time to react and run and then stop the ball, which is more test of the player's ability, isn't it? I mean, the machine does not act like a person, ready to catch the ball The moment players see their teammates swing their legs, they have a sense of catching the ball and determine the path and trajectory of the ball, but the machine will not swing their legs, leaving the player with less reaction time."
Mullenstin's eyes lit up, and he said: "You can also train players to shoot with high difficulty! The offensive and defensive players compete for unpredictable ball drops..."
Aldridge's expression was stunned, and he said casually: "Eh? Why didn't I think of it? You really will make a difference."
Mullenstin laughed and asked, "How do you think of using such a thing?"
Aldridge shrugged: "I was thinking that more difficult conditions should be added to allow players to train their skills. In the Premier League, Bogkamp's goal is to stop the ball. This is art. When the high ball and low ball touch his Feet, it seems that there is a magic power to make the power very powerful, but when we train, if we let the coach constantly kick the ball to train the players alone, this will exhaust us, let the players kick, and will delay the kicker’s training. Therefore, I considered adding training equipment to replace the training method of manpower. I saw a piece of tennis news a few months ago, so I thought of this method. In the summer, the factory will send me the machine. Let's see the effect."
Mullenstin is obviously very happy that Aldridge can do this. He pursues the player's skills to the extreme, and strives for excellence in technical training. Aldridge can not only attach importance to this aspect, but also have a large investment, which makes him feel relieved. And pleasant.
After eating lunch in advance, the players rested in the training hotel for a while, and then embarked on a journey to London Wembley in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, when Millwall's bus drove into Wembley, there were countless fans around England's greatest stadium.
Today's England is rendered in blue. Millwall is nicknamed the mad lion and the main color is blue. Chelsea is nicknamed the blue lion and the main color is naturally blue.
This makes it easy for the fans of the two teams to be confused outside the stadium. If you don’t look at the chest advertisement and the team logo, it may be difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the friend.
For this reason, today Chelsea were lucky to draw the home jersey, and Millwall could only wear a white away uniform.
Unfortunately, most of the fans in the stands are blue. Although there are also Millwall fans wearing an away jersey to help, they still have many fans wearing home dark blue jerseys.
Originally, the fans on both sides accounted for half of the court's court resistance. Chelsea is full of blue ocean. Millwall is not so extreme in color. The blue and white mixed stands cannot see any shock.
Only three thousand people gathered in the grandstand is white.
That was the roar led by Brady and Fred.
This is the role of the fan organization, unified dress, so that their cheering can show the power of the twelfth person.
The fans of the crazy lion are really depressed.
Invisible, they were beaten by Chelsea fans.
But who can say that they are wrong to wear the home jersey?
Blame the FA for giving Chelsea the "home advantage".
For this, Aldridge is not particularly concerned.
In terms of venue advantage, Millwall has played more games in Wembley than Chelsea in the past two years. In addition to the two finals last year, the home of the European War this year has also been played at Wembley. Millwall is clearly superior.
It’s just that I’m used to cheering on the fans of the home team. At first glance, Chelsea’s blue ocean cheers on my opponents. It is estimated that Millwall’s players will also have an illusion: Fans are back!
Before the game press conference, Audridge did not attend. Before participating in the European Cup of Winners, Millwall took note of the FA.
No time to.
In this regard, the Football Association does not mind, after all, Millwall to play in the European Cup Winners Cup final is for England to face, and also won the championship.
This London blue civil war seems to be announcing the rise of London on the English football map. In the past, only the Arsenal team carried the flag. The remaining focus was on Manchester and Liverpool, although Tottenham once also It is considered to be a force to be reckoned with among the Premier League powerhouses, but in recent years, no one has taken Tottenham as one thing anymore.
The strong rise of Millwall broke the old pattern, and Chelsea also showed its ambitions under Bates' costless loan investment. The focus of England began to turn to London as a matter of course.
This is not only a civil war in London, but also a derby between rivals!
Before the game began, Millwall Chairman Arthur walked into the box with a big smile. Today he doesn't mind coming to the box to watch the ball, because there is his favorite enemy: Bates.
Bates appeared a little nervous in the box, his face solemnly solemn, and he looked very important to this champion.
When Arthur walked in, he didn't notice it, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Arthur turned two circles behind him and looked at Bates with a smile. When Bates found him, he became surprised. Arthur raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Old friend, I can sit here and watch the ball with you. ?"
"Can you get away?"
Arthur grabbed the other person's hand and shook it, laughing: "Laugh, one. Now the live broadcast shot must have taken this scene. If you drove me away, wouldn't it be too graceful? I'll go out and say: Bay I dare not watch the ball with me, he is afraid that Chelsea will lose the championship. How?
Bates gritted his teeth and said: "Old bastard, do you have to be so shameless?"
Arthur sat down with a knife, poured himself a glass of wine, and smiled casually: "Oh, who made you embarrass me at first? Our two are dead enemies, the seeds of hatred have been planted long ago This is the law of the jungle. Chelsea is now a soft sheep. Millwall is a lion. Of course, I also want to open my blood basin to blur your blood and flesh. If you are me, will you do the same?"
Bates sat down indignantly and said in a deep voice: "Arthur, you has humiliated me countless times in the past two years. Will this make you happy?"
Arthur poured himself another glass of wine, exhaled happily after drinking, turned his head and grinned: "Yeah, I'm very happy! Shaming you is making me happy! Maybe you don't understand our Hall family Philosophy of survival, if someone punches us, we will not only meet the counterattack but also punch the opponent, we will beat the opponent fiercely. The league is over, er, Chelsea's relegation will not happen temporarily, but, like today, we will let you not win the championship. When we hold the trophy and sing and dance, I will send you a photo of the championship. Remember, who made your efforts go to waste, who made your dreams shattered, who made you feel bad like constipation for many days, and who made you look down in London!"
