The Young Lion

After the game, the visiting team's locker room.

Aldrich leaned his arms around the door, and the players walked in one after another. They sat silent in the chair, and there was only a heavy gasp in the locker room.

When Millwall generally loses or is tied by an underdog, they are naturally in a bad mood, and no one wants to speak after the game.

However, if it is defeated technically or tactically, the senior players after the game will actively initiate exchanges within the team, learn lessons, and make insufficient improvements.

What can be exchanged for today's defeat?

If you want to have a shot, the defense is basically okay. Except for Karuna's "false stop", Valencia made a sneak attack, and the other three shots for the opponent were all barely kicked by Valencia and threatened. Very small, it can be said that they are very successful in limiting their opponents' counterattacks.

Referring to Valencia's fierce play in La Liga and being able to crush the Bat Corps in Mestaria without breathing power, Millwall's only goal is to score.

After the players calmed down a little bit and recovered from the excitement of the game, Aldridge spoke.

"We canceled the summary meeting for this game. You take a shower and change your clothes now. We set off home and forget about this game. One thing to remember is that after a week, we will advance to the semifinals at the Lion King Stadium."

After talking lightly, Aldridge turned to open the locker room door and went out. He also had to attend the post-match press conference.

In the locker room, Southgate and Nedved first stood up, took off their jerseys, prepared to take a shower and then changed their clothes, and other players silently took off their wet jerseys and did post-game procedures step by step.

In general, Millwall will have a post-match summary meeting, which is usually to improve the player's awareness of the game. Aldridge opened the meeting and canceled the summary meeting of the game. The reason is very simple and has no summary value.

They restricted Valencia to perfection on the road. Gonzalez’s goal can only be said to be an accident. Anyway, Aldridge does not believe that the goal is a "premeditated" goal, and he will not put the blame on it. Materazzi's head, even if Materazzi thinks that losing the ball is related to him, Aldridge feels that changing to a defender of the level of Nesta, it may not be expected that Karu's ball club will be the kind of development trajectory. .

What Audridge needs players to do is to forget this game as soon as possible. The more they remember, the more they will let themselves fall into the magic barrier, deliberately amplify Valencia's defensive ability, and combat self-confidence, which may cause short-term psychological shadows, especially For the offensive players, it will make them hesitate when shooting: in the end, can this shot be entered?

Players must have a firm belief in promotion. There are still 90 minutes in the game. The gap is just a ball. As long as confidence is not destroyed, fate is still in their own hands!

Cooper accepted the post-match interview before Aldridge. He said that Valencia had achieved an extremely difficult victory. When commenting on the game, he emphasized that this is the transformation of Valencia’s spirit into a victory in the field. For the next round of prospects, Cooper Not to mention it, maintaining a sense of mystery, it seems that Millwall will be surprised at the Lion King Stadium.

In fact, the outside world does not have to guess what gesture Valencia will take in the next round.

They can only play anti-reversal. At home, they will fight this way to the end. Can they expect them to become unrestrained in their posture?

When Aldridge came to power, the reporters at the scene were shocked, and many people teased their eyes, waiting for the good show to be staged.

Aldrich didn’t wait for the reporter to ask questions after sitting down. First of all, he said: "Today I have a tight schedule, so if you have any questions, ask them one at a time and I will answer them again."

As soon as the words fell, Aldridge glanced at the reporter with a smile on his chin with one hand.

The reporters looked at each other. Aldrich played big enough!

If you win the game and play big names, we can attack you for your low quality.

But Millwall is losing now.

Don't look at his gentle temperament, but he's actually not mad.

Some reporters from England thought about it and understood that Audridge intended.

Divert attention.

I’m afraid he can’t wait for tomorrow’s front page headline to be “Millwall’s away goal and a small loss, no one in Hall after the game! "In this way, both the outside world and the team's information from the media has deviated from the game itself.

Many non-British reporters at the scene shook their heads, sneered, and some stood up and left the scene.

With the first one, there is the second one, with almost a dozen media reporters leaving one after another.

They used this approach to fight back against Aldridge as a response to Aldridge’s lack of respect.

The relationship between football reporters and clubs is indeed dependent on each other. Sometimes, in order to run the news, the reporter is the relatively weaker party.

But today this occasion is a post-match press conference stipulated by UEFA. The backstage is UEFA. As the coach, Audridge is obliged to attend. The reporter can appear here after obtaining the qualification to interview.

Everyone owes nothing to each other and has equal status.

I ask you a question, it is my freedom.

The answer or not is your freedom.

Between question and answer, there is an equal relationship with each other.

Aldrich said that he asked reporters to ask questions one by one, and he finally answered them all at once, which was a bit of contempt for the established rules, as if they were dominating the scene and overriding the reporters.

As if, everyone lined up to wait for him with stars.

According to some senior reporters who do not understand Aldridge, Aldridge is now like a spoiled child.

It’s normal for the team to lose the game, but it’s normal to be in a bad mood, but at least have the right demeanor?

Don't look at Aldridge's smile, but he said that wayward and rude, but it looks slightly better than Sapo.

These senior non-British media reporters left and retired one after another, silently conveying a signal: Sorry, you want to play big names, yes, we do not wait.

Aldrich always kept his chin in a harmless smile, and the UEFA press officer was embarrassed. He was embarrassed and there was nothing he could do.

There were many reporters who did not leave the audience.

Those big-name reporters can leave the scene freely, some people can't, after all, they still have to eat.

Reasonably self-consolation, now at least one unexpected news material is available, and then listen to Audridge's post-match interview, then go back and you can make a difference.

Both the Fleet Street reporter and the Spanish reporter did not leave.

Most of the reporters on Fleet Street smiled bitterly.

Let the young master succeed again!

At such a critical stage in the Champions League quarter-finals, Oudrich opened a group mocking mode, actively attracting media attention, reducing the pressure of the team, especially the players, as to offend other European media reporters, this is a fart, anyway, those The media also reported Millwall.

Spanish media reporters are waiting to mock Aldridge.

Lose, you lose so much!

Millwall really deserves to be the first team hated by strong teams in Europe!

"Okay, let the questions begin. If no one has any questions, then I will leave."

Aldrich changed his posture, leaned back in his chair, and smiled.

At the beginning, there were reporters asking questions, one question after another, some purely difficult, and some concerned about the game itself.

"After the draw of the quarterfinals, Millwall's voice for the finals is very high. After losing in Valencia today, as the team's head coach, how likely is it that Millwall will reach the final?"

"Whether Millwall lost today is because you are too big. In the past, Millwall used defensive counterattack tactics when playing away from Europe, but today used a radical attack. Valencia defeated you with a defensive counterattack. Is it because of a mistake in your tactical choice?"

"From winning Valencia 4:0, to losing Valencia 0:1 today, less than a year, is Millwall's strength reduced, or is Valencia's strength improved? We noticed that Millwall is in The situation of the Premier League has also become difficult, and the domestic cup is also out early."

"Can you comment on the game? Valencia only got 4 shots in the game, but Millwall had 32. It is hard to believe that the final score will be 1:0."

...

After the reporters finished asking, Aldridge opened his mouth with a half-truth and a playful tone: "This is Spain, Valencia, we are playing at the Mestalla Stadium, maybe, the patron saint of bats to Mestalla The stadium has magic, hehe."

His opening suddenly dissipated the invisible atmosphere at the scene.

Many reporters smiled knowingly.

In all fairness, watching the whole game, even **** bat fans, will feel that Valencia has won a lot of luck.

Millwall's goal post beam hit a basket, and Canizares and several players were absolutely phenomenal in front of the door.

Even at the penalty moment when everyone thought good luck ended, Millwall still failed to break the goal.

"Valencia's performance is impressive and worthy of respect. They deserve to win. Some of you just asked me what I think of Valencia's defensive counterattack tactics. I can only say that today, they won, that's all. Conversely, someone asked if Millwall had the wrong tactical choice. My answer is no. We performed very well today. We just missed an unexpected goal. It was regrettable that we failed to score. The match is full of confidence. Does anyone doubt that Millwall has no solution to Valencia's defense?"

Aldridge rarely criticizes the opponent’s tactics, although the reality is that if Millwall also plays a defensive counterattack, then the scene of this game will become very boring, he is not pursuing the scene, but Millwall can put Offensive play is very threatening, there is no need to play defensive counterattack, what is lacking is scoring.

If this game goes back one year and is played in the finals, Aldridge may not be able to withstand such a brutal realistic blow, and Canizares can definitely fight against the gods, but this kind of game is absolutely impossible to stage continuously. During a fight, Valencia's mentality, the two teams are in a new environment, under different conditions, Audridge does not believe that he can play a game that Millwall seems to be cursed.

Hearing Aldridge's answer, the Spanish reporters offstage showed a disdainful smile.

Football is a magical sport, a sport that uses results to demonstrate the process.

The game was won, and the game was reverted back to the rematch. The process was absolutely correct, especially the tactics adopted by the head coach.

The game lost, no matter what the situation or the situation, it was unbearable, it is difficult to overturn the absolute "truth" impact of the result.

As long as he can win, the ugly incomparable bus can also be praised by kings.

Can't win, gorgeous and dazzling will only be left out of the corner.

Aldridge played a big name after the game, and after an interview, he joined the team and returned to London.

The next day, it turned out that many media criticized Aldridge's behavior after the game and even suggested Aldridge to see a psychiatrist.

Millwall's defeat became the second. Aldridge succeeded in decompressing the team. During restorative training, Schneider secretly laughed with his teammates: the boss is naughty again!
