After FIFA International Day of Competition, Aldridge is glad that the players have returned to the team intact.
Only three days away from the weekend league, Aldridge and his coaching staff awaited players early on the training ground.
Benitez, Jensen, and Babu stood beside Aldridge, and the four discussed in a serious expression in a circle.
The players who came out of the locker room after changing the jerseys gathered together to discuss the grouping situation of the Champions League.
They are full of longing for the Champions League, which can be heard from the words.
When the players assembled, Aldridge preferred to scold them with a straight face.
"You seem to have forgotten that we have an important league to play in three days! I understand your mood very well. Life is about to usher in the highest level of the club's intercontinental competition. I am also very excited, but you cannot forget your identity, you are Premier League defending champions, we are now ranked tenth in the league! Shocking tenth! Liverpool have successfully left scars on us, Wimbledon and Leicester City have also satisfactorily got their hopes from us As a result, this weekend, when we visited Stamford Bridge, do you still want to send a weekend gift to the dead enemy? Forget the Champions League and go all out to prepare for the weekend league!"
The players heard Aldridge's stern warning, and they casually put away their relaxed expressions, facing the next training seriously.
When the players did the warm-up exercise, the coaches did not participate, and Aldridge was still discussing the tactical training focus with the coaching staff for some time to come.
A week after the first round of the Champions League group stage, the main players have returned from the national team, Aldridge should implement a rotation plan to face the weekend league.
But the situation in the Premier League table forced him to send the strongest team to face the derby against Chelsea.
The league has already won three rounds before, and this decline must be stopped immediately, especially after the start of the Chelsea league. The momentum is very fierce, and it is necessary to suppress the upward trend of the enemy.
The only good factor is probably that Millwall played at home in the first round of the Champions League. The game was played in London to minimize the adverse factors brought about by continuous combat.
After the players warmed up, Aldridge called six players to the front, and Benitez called eight players to his side.
Six members of Barak, Schneider, Nedved, Larson, Trezeguet, and Shevchenko stood in front of Aldridge in a fan shape.
Aldrich said to them with a tactical book: "Listen carefully to my next words. If you can't understand my requirements for you, then our team can't continue to improve."
The six nodded solemnly.
Millwall is in trouble. This is something that all the Premier League knows.
No matter how many people watch the fun or secretly laugh at them, there are still many people looking forward to how Millwall can break through the difficulties of the new season.
How to break intensive defense?
Liverpool, Wimbledon, Leicester City, have successfully tasted the sweetness in Millwall, but this is not the mainstream of the Premier League.
In addition to Liverpool playing Millwall with a very thorough defensive counterattack, playing other teams is still a fierce offensive, the same is true of other teams.
Therefore, Fleet Street does not worry about this defensive counterattack of "unhealthy winds and evil spirits" becoming the main theme of the Premier League.
Because of Millwall's outrageous strongness, last season's firepower was fully opened in the Premier League. This storm made other Premier League teams shudder. Therefore, only when facing Millwall, most teams have to avoid losing. , A negative posture that does not want to win.
This is a critical period for Millwall. Once it is unable to reverse the current decline and face the intensive defense and helplessness, it is likely that other teams will continue to implement this tactical idea, then Millwall will become the Premier League. Laughing handle: playing well and playing fart, still can't win the ball!
Aldrich knew in his heart that only once, twice, and three times in a row, the team that put out the ultimate anti-anti tactics would eventually lose, would they get rid of this situation.
When the opponent feels that the passive defense can't even get a draw, the tactical thinking will return to the original point: still fight your own style, just beat it, you can't get points, what is the picture of playing!
Aldridge showed his tactical board to the six players. The running path of the offensive player, the passing path, the dotted and solid lines are very clear.
"This is the team tactics we have built over the past three years. It was a great success last season. From the perspective of passing and running, we are advancing layer by layer. The simplest description is: the player in the backcourt hands the ball to Midfielders, midfielders pass to frontcourt players, wait for players in other positions to move up, use the width of the court and the lateral transfer of the ball to tear the opponent's empty, and then the scorer takes the opportunity to threaten the opponent's goal.
The six players listened very carefully. Even though they did not have a deep understanding of tactics when they first came to the team, they may not be able to describe the essence of the tactics they performed in language after training and game training day after day. , But closed his eyes and knew how to play football.
"In the past, our midfield and offensive players used horizontal runs to rip off empty space. For example, David, who ran horizontally in front of the defender, attracted defensive attention, which gave Andre and Henrik a sudden internal threat. Goal opportunities, but now, our opponents will often arrange heavy soldiers within the first 40 yards of the penalty area. They use the number of defenders to make up for the defensive vacancy that may be exposed. This requires that our offense players have a change in running coordination, and It is more tacit and requires higher reading ability. Maybe it used to be a chance for one or two players to run, but now requires three, four, and five players to run together to create a chance for the partner to break the goal."
After Aldridge finished speaking, turn the next page of the tactical board to show them that new tactical training started today.
Player positioning is complicated, and simply relying on a fixed and rigid route to run will not have much effect. Aldrich is often creating a variety of environments for players to try and then point out, Today's tactical board, the route map is also very simple, but the real difficulty is to form a tacit understanding in actual combat.
"We want to strengthen the deep tear in the frontcourt. The opponent uses two layers and three layers of defense to strengthen the lateral interception, but I don't think their midfield players can form a perfect fit with the defender. They will have the flaw of instantaneous transposition when marking. , The loopholes of man-to-man will also be exposed between the roles."
Aldrich explained the tactical key points to the players and allowed them to communicate with each other.
There is no change in the general direction of tactics, but the changes in details require players to understand more deeply, and they also require higher cooperation.
When the training started, Aldridge asked them to play half-court offense and defense.
The attacking side is a group of six men who raised his fate.
Benitez let eight other players form a two-tiered defense.
In addition to the goalkeepers, guards Mills, Elgra, Southgate, Zambrotta, plus four midfielders: Gattuso, Makelele, Glenshare, Duff.
When training started, Aldridge stood on the sidelines to observe the performance of the offensive group.
At the beginning, they still played the old tactics of horizontal tearing. In the reminder of Aldridge's constant shouting, the offensive team gradually found a state and showed a little bit better. They had been playing together for more than two years. The cooperation between two or three people has already formed, but now they are required to have four or five people. Five or six people form a team tacit understanding in an attack, interlocking, and no one can do without it.
And this is not the best tactic in Aldridge's ideal, Millwall still lacks an element.
A super player who can tear the opponent's defense line with points!
Larson is the perfect terminator. Shevchenko can pass and shoot. Trezeguet's involvement and impact are top-notch. However, none of the three players on the front line have the ability to change the situation with their own efforts.
In Aldrich’s plan, the team will have the last element of a world-class team after the fastest two seasons, and that element contributor is the Brazilian who is working hard to score goals and assists in the reserve team: Ronald Dinho.
This is still the fastest time, because the team has to wait for Ronaldinho to grow up, wait for him to gain a foothold in the Premier League, wait for him to catch up with the water, and wait for him to transform into a green magician.
Even though the previous opponents were afraid of Millwall, at most they were only eight players in the backcourt, and then the two were looking for fighters in the front. However, this season, the opponents they met in three consecutive rounds were nine people defending in the second half. People harassing in front, counterattack is almost luck.
Under such circumstances, Millwall's lack of personal breakthrough ability is exposed at a glance.
Aldridge did not complain that under the current conditions, he will strive to be the best and to maximize the integrity of Millwall’s team football.
Three days later, the London Derby struck.
Aldridge was banned, and even the pre-match press conference was gone. Benitez came forward for him, but the scene was deserted. Fleet Street did not want to waste time on the Spanish fat man.
The East London Derby has definitely disappeared in this season’s league. It is also unknown when West Ham United will climb back into the Premier League. However, the war between Millwall and Chelsea is not only hot, but also because of Chelsea’s one step in recent years. The accumulation of power in the footprints has made the Blues a force to be reckoned with in London and even the Premier League.
Millwall has proved himself with the champion, the Blues have accumulated a lot of money, and only have a trophy to announce the rise.
This is not only a derby battle between the dead enemies of London, but also a focal battle between the two upstarts of the Premier League.
Chelsea have fought a lot of beautiful tough battles in the past two seasons, allowing teams such as Manchester United Liverpool to overturn their ships, making them praise giant killers. Although they are not the hottest league champions in the new season, they are no problem as spoilers.
Aldridge appeared in the box at Stamford Bridge, and there was Ewen beside him. The handsome men and beautiful women appeared in the live broadcast. The two looked like a solemn overlooking the stadium.
At the stands of Stamford Bridge, fans of the Blues Chelsea played a arrogant banner.
"Milwall, who is the leader now? Where is the crazy lion?"
Since Millwall has made it to the Premier League, he has never ranked behind the London team after five rounds in the new season. However, after five rounds this season, Millwall ranked tenth in the league. Surprisingly, Chelsea topped the list!
Millwall fans stood shirtlessly in the stands of the visiting team and scoffed at the arrogance of Chelsea fans.
Brady directly directs the members of the Lions Roar to act immediately. The Lions Fan Organization is now the most influential fan group in Millwall, especially their behavior in the stands not only encourages the players, but also cheers with the fans of the other party. The wind won't fall.
Soon, the roar members in the stands adjusted their positions spontaneously. Then Brady waved his hand and five rows of members turned around. The striking English letters on their backs formed a declaration in response to Chelsea.
champion:
Chelsea: 4
Millwall: 5
Someone has been waiting for 26 years,
Someone only had a carnival four months ago!
This slogan composed of a word or number or punctuation behind each fan quickly caught the attention of the live camera.
At the same time, Brady pulled up big comrades in arms and sang in unison: "Hey, Chelsea, look over, look over, and answer our question: who waited twenty-six years, who watched the mad lion win the FA at Wembley Cup, who lost all the Premier League records to the Crazy Lions? Chelsea, Chelsea, answer me, answer me, or you will cry cry cry cry cry..."
Chelsea’s most loyal fans watched the counterattacks of the crazy lion fans, some of them gritted their teeth, some of them remembered the fiasco at Wembley a few months ago, that was when they were closest to the trophy in recent years, but relive the old dream Was hopelessly crushed by the crazy lion.
The hateful Millwall has clearly won three consecutive rounds. Obviously, Chelsea ranked first in the league standings with four wins and one loss.
Why are you crazy?
Why?
