The Young Lion

On the weekend, Millwall was going to Monaco to participate in the European Super Cup. This season began the European Super Cup restructuring, which became a single game win, and was carried out before the start of the new season of the European War. The European Super Cup returned as a continuation of the European War last season. The traditional game time with the end.

Therefore, in the third round of the weekend league, Millwall chose to play in the middle of the week. Unlike their European Super Cup opponent Chelsea, the game time was adjusted to the December supplement. After all, their opponent is Manchester United. , And play Millwall again this weekend, that's the Devil schedule.

But Millwall can't adjust the schedule in this way. They have to go to the Toyota Cup in the winter, and they can't compress the game in the time when the Premier League drives fast.

Before visiting Coventry, Aldridge got feedback from Barnett.

Cameron found it, and the intervention time was very good, because the other side lost consecutively in the past two years of elections, not to mention the career trough, but it has not yet reached the stage of flying, and it is definitely the best time to take a relationship.

Merkel in Germany has also found it, because the other party is a female politician who is more conspicuous, and the party to which she belongs has just lost the election. It is also a good opportunity.

As for Obama, he is already the governor in the United States. Barnett asked his partners to focus on funding Obama’s cause, but everyone has doubts because Obama is a black man. In this year, women’s participation in politics and black participation in politics are not new. However, to reach the position of supreme leader, not many people can believe it.

Aldrich didn't express any opinion on this, and it's a matter of conspiracy, and he didn't want to participate in such things too much, which would make him tired.

Schneider wanted to invest in red wine, and it happened that Larson and Nedved also had a hobby of collecting red wine. The players co-funded privately and entrusted Andrew to buy a small winery in Bordeaux. Collecting and storing top wines with investment value, in addition to these three people, Schneider also brought in compatriots Bout and Klose, plus Southgate and Makelele, seven of them heard that they had invested almost two million pounds Klose didn't have that much money. Schneider lent him generously. Schneider was confident in Klose that he would have no problem earning millions of pounds in the next year.

Schneider originally asked Aldridge to also participate in the shares, but Aldridge politely refused. He did not want to have a relationship with players other than football. In addition, his account left three million pounds as expenses and emergency. For the purpose, others are used to make investment portfolios in the financial market, and they are also entrusted to manage by Barnett's company.

Boas came to the club to report on this day, Millwall was preparing to travel to play an away game, Aldridge just attended the pre-match press conference, and then at the office door opened to the suit and leather-faced Boas.

"Hello there."

Aldrich formally shook hands with each other, Boas was only one year younger than him, but Boas clearly showed respect to Aldridge, he became nervous after holding Aldridge’s hand, even for a while Neither did Aldrich let go.

When Aldridge smiled and glanced at the hand he was holding, Boas hurried away awkwardly.

Opening the door of the office, Aldridge reached out and said, "Come in and sit down and talk. Although you are recommended by Bobby, I don't mean to hire you on his face. I hope you can show it. Your ability allows me to trust you."

Boas followed Aldridge into the office. He looked at the layout of the office. When he saw a row of five Millwall family portraits on the wall and a row of photos in a new photo frame below, his eyes became Can't erase it.

In the new season, Aldridge's office has two more photo frames, one is the family photo of the new season, and the other is a photo before the match of the Millwall team in the Champions League final last season.

These simply symbolize the history of Millwall in the Audridge era. When seeing these photos, it naturally comes to mind the honor this team has won.

Aldridge poured a glass of water on the coffee table for the guests, Boas was sitting on the single sofa, Aldridge was sitting on the couch, he opened the door and asked: "Before you were by Bobby What kind of work do you do?"

Boas just picked up the glass and immediately put it down again. He quickly said: "I am responsible for collecting intelligence, observing opponent players, analyzing their personal characteristics, team technical and tactical styles, strengths, weaknesses, and then sorting this information and handing it over to Coaching team."

Aldridge nodded unexpectedly. This is Boaz's best job.

When Mourinho's success in Chelsea's success, the outside world deeply explored the reasons for his success, one of which caused a sensation when it was later disclosed, that is an intelligence report by Boas, which was as long as twenty On the left and right of the page, the opponent is analyzed in a comprehensive manner, and the opponent is only a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. It can be seen how serious their work attitude is. Having such a person working for the team is a guarantee for the success of a team, although The outside world usually does not pay attention to such people.

Although he admired Boaz's work attitude and ability, Aldridge said: "But for intelligence gathering, Millwall has five such intelligence officers."

He gestured to the opponent with a slap. When he first took the team, there were only three intelligence workers. From the collection to analysis, the whole process of submitting the first team tactical meeting room was completed by these three people. Later, the team played There are many more such workers, and now there are five people who just collect intelligence. Two of them are responsible for foreign intelligence. For example, Millwall played the Champions League last season. One month before the game, such intelligence officers appeared continuously. In the stands of the opponent's team, observe the opponent's status, style, technical and tactical characteristics and so on.

Boas immediately said anxiously: "I can also establish a team player database for the team, which is also what I am good at, so that in the game, if the opponent activates unfamiliar players, my intelligence can be used for the ball The team provides the most direct assistance on the spot."

Aldrich spread his hands and said: "But we also have such a database."

Boaston's expression was stunned. It seemed that his advantages were not special here in Millwall.

Player database, many clubs and private coaches have.

Boas’ player database information is later described as more detailed than any database of professional football organizations in the world. If he is not a coach, he can go to a professional football organization or compile data for a football game company.

Aldridge didn’t want to attack each other. He looked at Boas, who had nothing to say, and asked with a smile: "Do you only want to be an intelligence officer when you come to Millwall?"

Boaz said after a moment of silence: "No, I want to learn to be a coach, but I always have to make a contribution before I can learn here."

Aldrich said: "Well, you join the club, you don't need to collect intelligence, but after the club's intelligence information is organized and submitted to the first team, you first look at it. If you think there are deficiencies, or areas that can be improved, Then you can propose it to help the club’s intelligence collection work more complete. In addition, after you are familiar with this, you will also be responsible for updating the player database. Finally, for the first-team training, you can be responsible for individual training sessions."

Boas didn't respond in three seconds, then asked: "You, you hired me?"

Aldridge nodded with a smile and said frankly: "If you want to be a coach, then of course you have to start with the simplest coaching job. If I let you do what you were good at before, when will you realize your ideal? "

Boas was very moved, and he made repeated guarantees that he would do all the work well. Audric stood up and shook hands with each other again, a little to encourage him.

After Boaz completed the entry procedures, he wanted to follow the team to watch the team's game away. Aldrich readily agreed that the other party's work enthusiasm is high, which is a positive element.

Being young is never a problem for Millwall.

In the game of Coventry, Millwall played a new formation, 442, or 4411.

Aldridge had to change the team's formation, because the medical department gave him a bad message.

Pirlo was truce for three months due to injury, and Larson was longer, four months.

Announced that the two main forces said goodbye to 1998...

In the away game, Coventry's tactics were very simple, that is, to play a defensive counterattack. In the opening game, they cut down the strong Chelsea, and in the second round, they played Nottingham Forest. For Millwall, who had just beaten Manchester United, Coventry shrank again and ran away in a draw.

Their conservative timing was very appropriate. It happened that Millwall’s two main truces were injured due to injuries, and their offensive power was reduced sharply. In addition to Audridge’s change in formation, this game enabled Lampard and Makelele double midfielders. A midfielder with two midfielders, Ronaldinho and Grenchar, offensively. Fannie and Nedved are on the line. Nedved is more like a shadow forward.

The team's defense is okay, but the offense has been unsatisfactory, especially in the tough game. The efficiency of the last part of the offense is low. Millwall and Coventry were flat in 90 minutes and each scored a point.

The practice of new formations and tactics always comes at the cost of the game. If you don’t practice, you can’t play the weak team. You can’t see the problem. If you play the strong team, Millwall’s summer change and the main injury stop, then use the unrestrained 433, sure Can not play the previous effect.

After finishing the third round of the league ahead of schedule, Millwall went to Monaco, and Aldridge first went to Switzerland to participate in the UEFA Champions League group draw.

At the same time, Millwall submitted an application to the FA and hired Klinsmann as an assistant coach of the team. However, Klinsmann did not have a coach qualification certificate and hoped that the FA would be able to be accommodating.

Klinsmann is an old acquaintance of the Premier League. The Football Association also needs more internationally renowned football figures to come to England. At this point, Millwall is not embarrassed. Klinsmann works while studying, etc. It’s time to take the assessment.

Before the UEFA Champions League group draw, the FA Football Club specifically approved Millwall's application.

This incident made the other two clubs in London extremely depressed.

Tottenham was one of them. Klinsmann had just left White Hart Lane, but after retiring, he moved to Millwall.

Arsenal is the second. Dane hopes that Arsenal will also rent Wembley in the Champions League. Highbury only has a capacity of 30,000. The specifications are enough for the Champions League level, but the money is not enough to go to Wembley. If the ticket income is at least doubled, and it attracts attention in the Wembley game, it can also play a big role in the promotion of the club. Millwall’s influence has rapidly increased, and it is a good game to play in the European war in Wembley. The obvious factor.

However, the FA rejected Arsenal's application.

Wembley has lent to Millwall, and the partnership between the two parties is also good. The FA made money, Millwall also made money, and also contributed to the promotion of English football in Europe. The Champions League will be next season. To expand the army, it is obvious that Millwall won the Premier League undefeated last season and earned points.

If you lend them to Arsenal again, the FA will terminate the loan agreement with Millwall. Otherwise, will the FA still run to discuss with UEFA to prevent them from scheduling Arsenal’s schedule and Millwall’s schedule? on the same day? Or stray away from home and away?

Originally safe and sound, the FA rejected Arsenal just because they wanted nothing to do.
