The Young Lion

Before the match between England and Greece started, Odrić did not go to the sidelines early, because today he has something to say to the players, and he is curious about the dressing room here.

Old Trafford has come many times, sitting in the home team's locker room as the coach for the first time.

It feels very strange.

Neither a guest nor a host.

Only Aldridge was sitting alone in the locker room. He looked around, looked at the player’s wardrobe, looked at other facilities, touched the bench under the butt, closed his eyes, as if he could see Ferguson pointing here, and, Turn on the hair dryer.

Haha!

Aldridge suddenly laughed out loud, only to imagine the interesting picture.

As the head coach for a long time, instead of the past admiration for the famous coach, the deeper feeling in my heart is that it is not easy to feel the hardship and hardship of the famous coach.

This job doesn't allow you to stop, you can't stand still, you can't sit back and enjoy it, it is true that you must keep up with the times every day, understand the environment you are in, understand the outside information, think, and reflect. Time really makes people rack their brains to compare themselves with themselves.

Not long after, Beckham walked in from outside, followed by his warm-up teammates and the coaching staff.

Boas came over and reported the condition of the turf at Old Trafford to Aldridge.

It often rains in Manchester, and turf conditions must be followed up in real time. Otherwise, accidents are likely to happen. Before Millwall comes here to play, scouts will update the weather in time.

This kind of information update is more exaggerated than ordinary people think, because Manchester may rain three or four times a day...

After the players sorted out the game equipment, Aldridge got up and walked to the tactical board and said: "In the year I spent with you, I emphasized discipline, transformed tactics, and had professional exchanges with each of you. However, I have not discussed the game mentality with you, because you come from different clubs, each club has its own culture, there is no unified standard, but I feel that now, we trust each other, we can exchange this experience, Share with you, you think it is useful, it does not conflict with your own football philosophy, you can selectively accept it."

The game mentality is a more complicated issue, because it involves the speed of entering the game state.

Some players need negative emotions to arouse the excitement of the game, such as anger, will deliberately amplify those dissatisfaction before the game, such as the booing of hostile fans, deliberately looking for the trouble of the opponent player to create hostile emotions, this approach, Instead, make yourself more excited and play better.

Some players may need to be self-motivated, constantly suggesting themselves to prove, to break through, to reach new peaks, so as to fill themselves with motivation.

Therefore, if not necessary, Aldridge will not use language incentives as a magic weapon to mobilize enthusiasm before the game, the situation varies from person to person.

The England players held their heads high and were very interested in what Aldridge would say next.

Excluding Aldrich’s impressive record since leading the national team, his own achievements in the club are enough to allow him to share his experience and become a golden jade. The non-Milwall players here would like to listen to it, how much can they get, anyway It must be better than not listening.

"In England, there has always been a saying among fans that there are two types of European football, one is English football and the other is Continental football. You must understand, right?"

Continental football generally refers to the technical flow of European football, and English football, that is, the style of the "old times" inherited high.

Beckham, McManaman, Irving and these players smiled.

They feel the most. When some traditional fans accuse them, they always say that they are not like English players, but European players.

Like Lampard, Gerrard, Husky, this is the England player.

Style issues.

"England football is brave, fearless, and iron-blooded. The continental style of football is considered cunning by fans, just like Ronaldinho and Zidane, who play football by cheating."

Aldrich's words amused everyone.

Indeed, traditional English fans are not waiting to see technical players. They just think that it is not in the style of England. While technical players, when they encounter tough players in England, they rely on technology to gain an advantage, but physical confrontation is at a disadvantage. On the contrary, all parties are "frauding" to take advantage. This deception is actually meant to be a joke, but it does not rule out that there is indeed a deceptive fair behavior such as diving and injury. Traditional English fans think that the person who fell in the confrontation They lost, and were convicted of a foul, which made them a little unacceptable. They felt that the softer and softer the football, even physical contact was not allowed. The players who fell down once in England have always been the fans who don’t want to see them. this.

"I'm not going to discuss the style of football with you, but I want to tell you that British style and European style have their own characteristics. For example, in the past ten years, Wimbledon has been mad, and the poor Jingle Bell has The Premier League has survived for many years, relying on English style, there are many teams to learn from them, and some have achieved certain results."

The players who played for the Premier League nodded frequently.

For a while, most of the Premier League games have a very distinctive feature, that is, after the opening, a certain team will immediately commit an aggressive foul on the opponent, frightening the opponent in momentum! This is actually a behavior developed by the extension of British style.

"A team cannot switch flexibly in football style, that is to say, you cannot play English style today, and European style tomorrow. It takes a long time to build a style of football. And after changing the style of football, you have to take a lot of risks. However, the mentality of the game, how to play, can be self-adjusted. The style of football, the style of English style and the style of European style are different from each other, but Why has England always had a gap with the top teams on the world stage for many years? I think it is a game mentality. We have always used the British style mentality to play. We are brave and fearless, daring to kill, this is an advantage, but It may not necessarily ensure, or increase the probability of winning, at this point, the cunning nature of the European style style highlights the advantage. They are more flexible in facing the game and are better at coping with games in different environments. Therefore, The European style has become the mainstream, and the British style can be said to have been completely eliminated. I use Millwall as an example. You may not agree, but if I use Manchester United as an example, you can’t refute, Giggs, David. , Solskjaer, Van Nistelrooy and other players are not traditional English style players."

The remarks made the players think deeply.

Manchester United, Liverpool, these traditionally represented clubs in England, the style of play has also changed. It can not be said that Manchester United still insists on flying together to adhere to the tradition of football. Otherwise, what did Ferguson buy Belon? Can let Giggs and Beckham alone meet the standard of traditional British players?

Traditional English style has become history. Whether European traditional style fans accept it or not, clubs in England must keep up with the mainstream anyway, otherwise they will be eliminated.

However, some British traditions still exist, for example, most coaches will still clamor with the opponent before the game, so that players can’t wait to take the momentum to kill the opponent’s family.

is this okay?

It can only be said that there is something wrong, just easy to break, football game, where is the fight? It is also necessary to fight for wisdom, and it is the most reasonable way to guide the situation.

"Football games are irregular, because every game is full of variables, excluding external factors. The biggest part of the variable factors is two parts, one is the opponent and the other is itself, even if the same opponent, the players play and execute There will definitely be changes in the tactics. The variable factors of our opponents are beyond our control. But what we can master the most is our own variable factors. To put it simply, for different opponents, the head coach will have different tactical strategies. At the same time, the players , Also have a different mentality to deal with. There is no such thing as a football field. You just have to rush forward, the first rush won, the second rush won, the third, the fourth time, the rush can always win Situation. What does it take to win? Not only depends on your own strength, but also depends on understanding your opponent, knowing your opponent's strength, what tactics you take on the field, what they want to do, and then you do it again Make a judgment, choose one of the two, first, whether I can definitely win the game if I use all my strength, that is, I can win the opponent regardless of the opponent's idea of ​​the game. Second, if I play all my strength, it is impossible to stabilize If you win the game steadily, how do you increase the probability of winning? How do you create more opportunities? Then you need to make targeted changes based on the research of your opponent’s intelligence, and your game mentality should also change accordingly ."

The players looked at each other, and Southgate showed a proud smile.

The outside world says that Millwall’s winning streak records seem to be a breeze, but he has really experienced that as the captain, he is the most aware of the hardships. The adjustment made by the Millwall coaching team for each game, the outside world does not at all I know that it is difficult to see it in the game with the naked eye, but it is this full preparation that is the foundation of Millwall's glory.

In fact, this experience is the conclusion that Aldridge witnessed the history of football in his last life and the experience of this life.

An example is Real Madrid, known as the Galaxy Battleship.

The age of the Galaxy Warship is after 02 years, and there is no saying of the Galaxy Warship in 01, but since the formation of the Galaxy Warship Group, Real Madrid has been booming and declining.

The strength is definitely no problem. To say how weak the back defense is, it also seems very far-fetched. Doesn't that mean playing Elgra, Makelele?

The mentality of the game is definitely a large part of the record.

I think I can crush all opponents, and the opponents deal with Real Madrid in a targeted manner.

Although Real Madrid's offensive has its own historical and cultural particularities, the typical failures are worth learning.

The players carefully recalled that Aldridge had directed the games they played this year.

It is really under different situations, using different tactics, in fact, this also affects their game mentality to a certain extent.

Why come now?

Obviously, because all the media in England and fans are praising this group of internationals!

Aldridge just talks about tactics, is it enough?

They must be allowed to have a correct and reasonable mentality in the game, otherwise everything will be empty talk.

The players want to understand this. Combined with the current situation and the external environment, they also understand that Aldridge's intentions are to improve their psychological qualities and avoid interference from the outside world, while also training their resistance to stress.
