Chapter 882: Superstar Cradle

Millwall was lively for a while in early July. Stars gathered to announce the renewal of the contract, allowing Klinsmann to create a "smooth transition" atmosphere to the outside world when he took office. Aldridge’s office in Millwall did not Change, only the outside house label changed, from the head coach's office to the chairman's office, and Klinsmann has a brand new office of his own.
On the desk in the office, the photos were placed on the scene of the lively and harmonious atmosphere when he renewed the contract with a group of Millwall stars.
Players who participated in the World Cup came in a hurry and continued to go on vacation, while players without World Cup missions will return to the club in mid-to-late July to participate in pre-season preparations.
Klinsmann had just taken office and stayed in the club to form a new coaching team. Jenson Bernard was taken away by Aldridge as an assistant to the England national team. At that time, he initially played with Aldridge together. The first team's main coach, there are only three remaining, Bab, Craig, Leo, plus Boas, who later added to the coach's core team, including Klinsmann himself, this can be formed A five-person core framework, coupled with special coaches such as physical fitness, tactics, and technology. The first-team coaches are maintained at around 10 people. It is not too wealthy, but it pays attention to efficiency and clear division of labor.
Klinsmann did not go to recruit people from the outside, it was a change of direction to buy people's hearts, and would not give the outside world a lead to enter the room to suppress the suspicion of Millwall's veteran. Furthermore, these people, Bab, Craig, Leo three The person with the most seniority has no intention to be the head coach, otherwise, he has followed the footsteps of Torop, and now Torop is doing well in Belgium. Jensen’s departure is also a symptom, but I don’t know where Jensen will be in the future. Pick up the pointer.
The supplementary staff are all selected from within the club. Millwall itself also trains coaches. The selection of materials is very wide, and it can even be selected from their youth colleges in other parts of Europe. Such promotion itself is to increase Klinsmann. The prestige and authority in the team must be established bit by bit. In this respect, seeking quickness is down, and seeking stability is the best strategy.
Millwall is still the focus of the outside world, because recently they have VIP guests here.
German football emperor Beckenbauer.
His visit was not only a reunion with Klinsmann, but also a visit to Millwall.
Beckenbauer and his apprentice Klinsmann walked together at Leo’s youth training base in Millwall. During the vacation, the youth training base was very lively. Players were training or playing practice games on the neatly divided training grounds. Before the World Cup, the Millwall Juniors won the U15 Charity Cup. The two-year-old Argentinian Gemini will become the focus of the outside world at this time. Messi and Aguero have been seen in Beckenbauer. The performance in the training was also full of praise, and it is inevitable to think of the bleak situation of Germany's 10-year talent gap. Look at the talents in the youth training base in Millwall, the cradle of superstars is not blown out.
Klinsmann’s mind has not been placed on the side of the youth team, although he turned the club up and down the next day when he took office, as if a newcomer came here for the first time, and the kind of power It feels really different from before, as if raising your hand and spreading your five fingers, you can hold the world!
With the passage of time, the pre-season preparations are approaching, he has to work on the ground and put his mind on the team building work of the new phase of the crazy lion.
The team that Aldridge left him cannot be said to be perfect, nor can he be described as "not weak". It must be very strong!
Although Nedved's serious injury is a hidden danger, but the frontline is complete, Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson, Klose, Villa, the younger and Ronaldo, as well as the loan return will stay this season In the Drogba team, these people, just the striker, do not need to worry about Klinsmann, as for the newly joined Robben, temporarily can not be considered.
Although the midfielder is the most injured, leaving Pirlo and Gattuso, the core part of a central axis was removed, from the most defensive midfielder to the core of the organization, it can be described as injured.
But Millwall is still well prepared.
Lampard of the New World Cup champion, Joe Cole returns, Alonso, De Rossi, Pedretti, the fast-growing last season, the offensive midfielder and the young Kaka, as well as the reassuring substitute Lamo Well, are these 7 people enough? Perhaps the lower back position may make people feel uneasy, but Klinsmann has been guaranteed by Aldridge. Before the start of the new season, there will be new people in the team to report, which will fill the weakness of the midfield defense.
As for the defender line, although the departure of full-back Zambrotta is regrettable, Klinsmann has ushered in the return of Ashley Cole, allowing him to eat a reassuring pill on the left back, just Sosgai The special partner, Materazzi's position, who will fill him is quite nerve-wracking. In the position of the central defender, his own team's reserve is not huge. Metzelder as the main defender of the World Cup runner-up, Klinsmann I plan to reuse this German compatriot in the new season. Tiago Silva, who is currently training in the team, can only wait and see. Barzali, Neal, and Lescott can only be used as substitutes. Right-back It also made him feel a headache, Schneider did not have a suitable substitute, Ashley Cole also had Baines to occasionally rotate, Neil attacked the weak defense, Klinsmann did not intend to make him a full-back The rotation of the right back-up position, Johnson of the youth team is 18 years old, and can only try next season, but dare not really be a stable back.
Bout, the goalkeeper, is still trustworthy. As the third goalkeeper of the 2002 World Cup in Germany, Bout has no chance to play, but in Millwall, it is still okay to secure the first goalkeeper. Palyuka enters the retirement rhythm. Learn from experience when rotating properly.
I didn't think about it so much when I wasn't headed home. When I really came to be headed by myself, my mind was quite thin.
This is just a consideration of paper strength, how to condense into a whole, how to form a new phase of Millwall, in the post-Pirlo era, how should the crazy lion's offensive and defensive system work, placed in front of Klinsmann, It is a difficult one after another. If you are a little careless, you may end up bleak.
Seeing Klinsmann's lack of state, Beckenbauer knew what his lovers thought. When he was the coach for the first time, the pressure was conceivable. He whispered: "Being at the helm of a giant like Millwall, we must first Have your own opinion. Secondly, don’t turn your opinion into prejudice and contradiction. Finally, you must be decisive and firm. Once you shake your mind and wander, then you are not far from failure."
Klinsmann recovered from his words, nodded, and temporarily suppressed his thoughts. He asked with a smile: "What do you think of Millwall's youth training mechanism?"
"Eye-opener."
Beckenbauer heartily praised.
"In the balance of the club's record and economic factors, few clubs will boldly give young people such a wide space. Although Bayern Munich claims that the echelon of youth and seedlings adds up to nearly 200 people, but the number is large, the training process is not detailed enough. Millwall’s investment in the youth training base is comparable to the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga. The youth team configuration of many clubs in Germany is very simple, like Millwall here, team doctors, psychologists, various professional coaches, physical therapists, etc. Wait, this is not a stadium, a dormitory, a coach with a whistle can match, I heard that for some young players who have performed well and started to emerge, have they already been equipped with a person in charge of public relations activities?"
Klinsmann said with a smile: "Yes, it is because they are afraid that they will make mistakes. Children aged 15-16 are actually immature and easily tempted. If necessary, they still need someone to restrain them, lest they have not really Growing up splurged on talent."
Beckenbauer suddenly envied the young men who received training here. In terms of youth training, Millwall’s hardware facilities are top-notch. Looking at the world, there should be no better hardware facilities than they enjoy. The staff guardianship and training, from physical to psychological, and even foreseeable psychological fluctuations, the club is as comprehensive as possible, although in the end it is one word: money.
How many clubs have such courage to invest so much?
"Specific professional training, you introduce to me, so many children are dazzled and seem to be unsystematic."
Klinsmann said with a smile: "Millwall has a wide selection of materials, but in training, he generally takes two and a half stages. The first stage is technical training. In this regard, Mullenstein is responsible for it. He is the entire youth team. The technical director of the echelon, his team will develop technical training according to the characteristics of each player, like Ronaldinho in the first team, and a new generation of C Ronaldo that is highly anticipated. Lustin took a lot of pains and tried his best to allow them to combine skills and practicality, and it is the same for other players. Therefore, the players who are promoted by the Millwall youth team, not to mention other qualities, are technically practical. It’s not rough. Waiting for the U18 youth team stage is the stage of training skills and tactics for the finish line. If young players join the team later, you can postpone to the reserve team to start this stage. Attainment, in the later period, that is, to really prove yourself in the professional arena, learn from experience, sharpen the mentality, etc. At the same time, in the middle and late stages of transition, players have another training to focus on, that is to increase strength training and strengthen the body The ability of confrontation helps them reduce the incidence of injuries. Although this is a general framework system, but for different players, the specific implementation is different from person to person, Aldridge once said that the youth training base It is not a processing plant. Even if the player is 10 years old, he is a special individual. He must have a special training program for different individuals. So, as you can see, the coaches at the youth training base are five times as many as the first team. "
Beckenbauer carefully thought about Klinsmann's words, and nodded frequently, but also deeply thought of Aldridge's words.
