The Young Lion

Millwall airborne to Tokyo, detonating the enthusiasm of football in the city. The Millwall first team attended five business events for two consecutive days. If Aldridge is only the head coach, he will inevitably object, but he is also the team owner. The popularity of commercial development can only be involved, and the players are not against it. After all, commercial activities can intuitively increase their income.

At 1:30 pm on November 31, at the Tokyo National Sports Arena, the friendly match between the Millwall Junior Team and the Japanese Junior Team officially kicked off.

On the spot, the Japanese people naturally want to support their national team from a close distance, and one ticket can watch two balls. After the competition of the junior team, there will be a competition between the youth team.

In the VIP box, Aldridge and the first-team coaching staff sat here to watch the game. Next to him was a Japanese: the president of the Japan Football Association, Kawabuchi Saburo.

This person has made great contributions to Japanese football. He has established a 100-year football plan for Japanese football and has firmly implemented it. Now he only serves as the chairman of the Football Association for four years, but in history he has been in power for more than 20 years and can be in power. It is also an important factor in the long-term development of Japanese football.

Kawabuchi Saburo frequently whispered with Aldridge in the box, most of the time the other party said, Aldridge rarely voluntarily spoken, because he couldn’t stand the other’s crappy English, and sometimes it took a long time to understand one or two words. The other party's words.

Japanese football learns Brazil and takes the technical route. This is also the choice to teach according to the aptitude. If you take the power route, Mo said that if you break out of Asia, they may not even be able to dominate in East Asia, let alone the power shock with players in West Asia.

In the junior team's game, the age of players is limited to under 17, the Japanese junior team is almost all 17-year-old players, and Millwall's players drawn from each echelon are not close in age.

17-year-old Evra, Balzali and 16-year-old Lescott, Meeks formed the back line.

Parker and Carrick, 17, and Alonso, who just passed his 17th birthday last week, form a midfielder.

17-year-old Joaquin and Vicente form a bilateral avant-garde.

On the front line is David Villa, who has his 17th birthday in four days.

The goalkeeper chose a person casually.

In Japan, although football is not the first sport, with the rise of the national football wave, in a small country with a population of more than 100 million, the number of fans is huge. Today, they must support the Japanese youth team, but From the beginning of the game, the cheering cheers on the stands became smaller and smaller.

Although the players of the Japanese junior team mainly hone their skills, they are completely disadvantaged when facing Millwall players of the same age.

The offense simply couldn't move forward, and the mistake of passing the ball directly led Millwall to unhurriedly launch a fast break.

Parker successfully intercepted in the backcourt, and then passed the ball to Alonso. Then, Alonso and Crick continued to do a wall kick in a small range to complete a 2 over 3!

With the ball forward, Alonso hit the sideline with precision. Vicente blasted the opponent on the left and drove the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Alonso faked a true pass and Villa counter-offside Successfully put the ball into the opponent's gate easily.

The opening was just 3 minutes.

The audience in the stadium stands dumbfounded.

Is this a junior team game?

Alonso and Carrick were dazzled by the continuous kicking of the wall, and it took a few seconds to kick the ball through the wall and it did look amazing sometimes.

Kawabuchi Saburo was speechless. He knew that there was a gap between the technical flow of Japanese football and the tactical flow of Millwall, but he did not expect that the gap would be so large!

After scoring, Villa trot back to celebrate with Alonso high-five, and then ready to restart the game.

Aldrich didn't care about this opponent today, and actually had little effect on Millwall's training.

If you meet a power opponent, there may be exercise value, but when you meet a half-skilled opponent, Millwall and the young people play like a fish, because as long as they can dominate the game through simple control, physical confrontation The intensity of the game is not as good as that of the England Youth League. On the real big stage, in the game where the soil is competing, even if you can pass the ball into the opponent’s gate, you need physical confrontation to catch the ball. The kind of exercise is More meaningful.

The Japanese junior team can't control the rhythm of the game completely. As long as they pass the half, they will definitely lose the ball. The passing coordination will not exceed the success of the three-legged.

The Millwall Junior team played steadily and did not have a good chance to make a fuss in the middle. Alonso, Carrick and Parker plus the retired Villa. The four of them did not try in one match. The breakthrough, completely created a chance by passing the ball and passing the ball to create a chance. Finally, Alonso's dead end in the penalty area line helped the team score again.

2: 0, the time is the 11th minute of the game.

"Mr. Hall, how long have these children played together?"

Kawon Saburo asked thoughtfully.

The current scene not only makes the audience dumbfounded, but also the face of Japan’s President Kawon Saburo is not good-looking. If Millwall defeats the Japanese team with his personal skills, this gap is acceptable. The physical qualities of European players are there. But just now the two goals were not scored by Millwall players who crushed their opponents with technical skills.

After thinking for a while, Aldrich said: "This question is not easy to answer. Some players came to the club for training earlier. For example, the child who scored the first goal, he came to Millwall three and a half years ago. Others People, some two and a half years ago, and some one and a half years ago, only three players on the field joined the club half a year ago."

"It's no wonder, they have a high level of understanding."

Aldridge stopped talking.

In just 11 minutes, the Millwall Junior Team made the Japanese Junior Team aware of the gap between the two sides, and the Japanese Junior Team could not fight back!

After achieving a two-goal lead, the Millwall Junior team played more openly, and their personal skills showed more. Hua Jin and Vicente spurned Japan's young full-backs on the sidelines, forcing the other party to have a central defender. Or a midfielder to assist defense, but this will expose the defense in other areas.

Villa played very well today. Two wing players attracted the defense. Alonso and Carrick delivered shells behind him. At the end of the first half, he scored four goals.

And the score in the first half made all Japanese fans on the scene regret buying tickets to enter.

7:0.

This score is too cruel!

The Japanese junior team collapsed across the board after 20 minutes, the defense was unruly, and there were many loopholes.

This is why Aldridge believes that this game has no training value for the young players of Millwall U17. The gap is too large, and the opponent's tactical awareness is too weak, and the psychology is fragile. Immediately after the ball, defensive dislocations occur frequently.

During the halftime break, the Japanese Football Association leaders whispered under the leadership of Kawon Saburo. I don’t know what they are discussing. Kawon Saburo looked very serious. Maybe this game let them see their own shortcomings, maybe they saw more With their strong football style, they did not become angry and angry. Originally, the game was sponsored by Japanese sponsors to spend a lot of money on Millwall to play. The Japanese junior team cannot do it by themselves, and they cannot blame Millwall for being merciless.

The head coach who led the junior team today is Dean Richards, who replaced five people at halftime.

Jenas, Nolan replaced Parker and Carrick.

Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero came on to replace Joaquin, Vicente and Villa.

The first two substitutions are still normal, and the audience cannot see that Jenas is only 15 years old.

But Ronaldo, Messi and Aguero all appeared on the scene, and Japanese fans were all crazy.

Millwall is so **** crazy!

Ronaldo looks 15 years old at best. Messi and Aguero are more like 11-12 year olds, especially Messi. No one doubts you are 10 years old.

The Japanese junior team also changed a group of men and women in the second half. The slaughtered team in the first half has already collapsed. No experience can be gained after the game. It is better to calm down and calm down.

Kawabuchi Saburo returned to his seat to prepare to continue to watch the second half of the game, but after seeing Millwall's substitutions, he frowned and whispered: "Mr. Hall, is this Millwall's contempt?"

Aldrich turned his head and asked, "Mr. Kawabuchi Saburo, does the Japanese Football Association hope Millwall attaches importance to this game or perfunctory?"

"Of course I hope you will do your best!"

"Then let's sit here and enjoy the second half of the game."

Kawabuchi Saburo depressed his anger. He had the same idea as the fans. He thought that Millwall was going to "play" with the Japanese junior team in the second half. You can substitute, but don't use this humiliating substitution!

The newcomers from the Japanese Junior Team saw three people on the opposite front, two of them were still short of them, and they were suddenly angry.

Look down on us!

But when the game started, the audience was dumbfounded.

After a successful steal, Jenas handed the ball to Alonso, who directly gave Aguero in front.

Messi ran next to Aguero. In a small area, Aguero and Messi played together.

Two over one, two over two, the third defender learned well, and consciously wanted to block the opponent to continue to kick the wall, but Aguero, who took the ball, suddenly turned to break through. When facing the back line, one Straight foot ribs are free.

The winger C Ronaldo rushed, and the opposing defender immediately put a shovel to block his shooting angle. C Ronaldo stopped the ball and pulled the ball to the middle. He had faced the goalkeeper one by one, and he could score with just one shot. In today's game, he played.

With the ball rushed to the goalkeeper, and then stepped on the bicycle twice to turn the heel and kick the ball into the opponents goal.

There was a total silence in the stadium, and then Japanese fans gave Ronaldo a wave of applause.

This player is obviously much younger than the others, but he plays so chicly and gorgeously, and he also scored a goal. Even if the audience stand firm, they cannot restrain the urge to applaud him.

Aldridge shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.

This kid is guilty again.

But the friendly match doesn't matter. It's not bad to satisfy his vanity.

Kawabuchi Saburo was dumbfounded. Because few Millwall players made such technical moves in the first half, he did not know whether all Millwall players could do this, or the horizontal line was such a height.

In fact, in the second half, Richards replaced C Romesi Aguero to let them go to play and feel the atmosphere of the game.

When the small Messi guarded the ball back and forth to get rid of attracting the opponent's three defenses, the audience's mind was numb.

The Japanese junior team has no chance of fouling. The little **** was so **** up, suddenly left and right, suddenly before and after, with the ball usually not fast, seeing being close, immediately accelerating and changing direction, their waists are fast Twisted!

Cristiano Ronaldo also played happily, and the fancy moves attracted a lot of applause, but after he was intercepted twice, the side coach Richards was also angry.

Let you go up and play, not as if playing street football!
