The Young Lion

England has an impersonal tradition in dealing with wounded soldiers. Players seem to become invisible when they are injured. From the head coach to the teammates, he almost disappears even if the head coach goes to communicate with the wounded. Direct dialogue will require a third person to present the story. This is a superstitious tradition, and many clubs are following it.

Because football is a kind of men’s sport in England, it is a symbol of passion and tenacity, just like the battlefield. The one who can’t climb after falling is the loser. Separated, this tradition did not change until the Premier League's international trend.

Aldrich treats traditions rationally, and good traditions should be followed, such as the closedness of the locker room, but he obviously disappoints injured players and even suffers from psychological stress.

Trezeguet was no longer able to move around. He was helped by two team doctors to the sidelines, Aldridge was already standing there, and Trezeguet, who had taken off his shoes, had a swollen ankle like a trotter in his right foot.

"When was it hurt?"

Aldridge asked softly.

Trezeguet lowered his head and whispered in fear, "Yesterday."

He was afraid that Aldridge would lose trust in him from now on.

But Aldridge patted his shoulder and said lightly: "David, injury is not a problem, but you deliberately conceal the injury is a big problem, take care of the injury, the team will wait for you."

Trezeguet, who had been suffering from severe pain and no tears, suddenly wet his eyes, he choked up his head and said: "Sorry, sorry."

"You are not sorry for me, the body is yours, you have to learn to protect yourself, health is always the first."

"Thank you, boss."

Trezeguet was directly brought into the player channel by the two team doctors.

When the team doctor entered the field, Aldridge let Solskjaer warm up, then Trezeguet retired from the injury, Aldridge was waiting for the opportunity to complete the substitutions.

Solskjaer came to Aldridge. Aldrich looked at the game and asked softly, "Ole, do you know what to do after playing?"

Solskjaer blurted out: "I know that the opponent's Wright moves slowly, the Scalace area is not large, and there is a lot of space between the opponent's two midfielders and the defender."

Aldridge nodded. Solskjaer's concentration on the bench is the best in the team. His reading ability in the game is far better than others.

"After playing, you can frequently swap positions with Henrik. To put it bluntly, Liverpool's defense line can't prevent you both. You can take the ball and make some shaking breakthroughs."

"I see, boss."

Three minutes before the end of the first half, Millwall made a substitution and Solskjaer replaced Trezeguet who had retired from the game.

Liverpool brought a one-ball lead into the locker room at halftime.

Anfield fans were relieved a little, seeing Millwall's fierce offensive in the first half, and thought how powerful the opponent really was, why not!

Manchester United were scored five goals, it was Manchester United who became weaker. Arsenal, the team's army was distracted. If they come to Anfield, they will play at least five or six...

Millwall, the name is not true!

Aldridge walked slower. In the player channel, Liverpool's players had a proud look on their faces. Redknapp yelled to Aldridge: "Boy, what did you say before the opening? Now , Should you go home and find your dad? Oh, your dad is not a coach, you can only cry into his arms and cry, oh little Aldridge, what's wrong with you? Why cry?"

Redknapp Jr. obviously clearly held Aldridge's provocation before the game. Now that Liverpool are leading, he will naturally sneer.

"Grass mud horse! What do you say? Some kind of roll over!"

Southgate, who had always been silent, was furious and screamed that he was going to rush over. The teammates behind were stunned for a while, and then rushed up, but was blocked by Aldridge. Anfield’s passage was already narrow. He One person directly blocked everyone behind him.

The Liverpool players also supported Redknapp Jr., and they stood together fiercely, seeming to be in a melee fight.

Aldridge smiled on his face, and he said to Redknapp Jr. lightly, "Jamie, as long as your father coaches West Ham United, I and he will be enemies. You don’t understand East London. I don’t blame you for the war. I’ll give you a piece of advice. Don’t be complacent if the game is not over. Also, I feel sad for Liverpool. Millwall’s victory over Arsenal won’t make any difference, but you are happy now , You don’t deserve the Red Army’s jersey, the one standing behind me is a soldier who never bows his head, you, ha ha ha, dude."

After that, Aldridge turned to the player and waved back to the locker room.

The Liverpool players were angry and scolded at Aldridge.

"Shout, scold, Playboy's virtue, I see much more."

boom.

The door of the visiting team's locker room closed tightly.

There was no time to care about the atmosphere over Liverpool, and the boys in front of Aldridge sat down calmly.

Aldridge didn’t plan to write on the tactical board today. He just stood in front, arms around his chest, and asked lightly: “How are you feeling? I mean, is there pressure in the game here?”

The players looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Perhaps it was Aldridge who had been standing on the sidelines. They could always see his figure. The stance of standing tall and fearless seemed to remind them of fearlessness.

Aldridge shrugged: "Well, take a break and kick well in the second half."

"Boss, don't you talk about tactics?"

Southgate asked, raising his head.

He doesn't want to lose. Almost every player wants to ask his question.

It seems that they are accustomed to the adjustment of Aldridge in the midfield, which can help them play a more exciting game in the second half.

Aldridge laughed: "Just like playing in the first half, we can win. In the first half, we created a lot more opportunities than them, but the luck is a bit worse. Since you want to listen, then I will say a word. ."

The players stared at Aldridge intently.

He sat down and said easily: "Actually, you should know that the stronger the team, the more obvious the home advantage, and the better the home record. The big reason is that the visiting team is frightened by the home atmosphere, also because of the strength and weakness. The gap is conservative and gave up to fight for the initiative. Do you know how many goals Manchester United lost at home last season?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Aldrich stretched out his right hand, compared four fingers, and smiled: "It's counted with one hand. Manchester United lost only 4 goals in 21 league homes last season!"

This stat made the players in the team breathe a sigh of relief. Only four of 21 home games were lost?

Aldridge continued: "But did you know how many goals Manchester United lost on the road last season?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Aldridge looked at his hands and then his feet, and said helplessly: "Claude, lend me a hand."

After all, he raised Makelele's hand and raised his legs slightly, saying, "Twenty-four balls."

4:24.

This is the performance of Manchester United's home and away defense last season.

The players were a bit enlightened after listening.

Aldridge laughed: "Understood, although Manchester United does have less home advantage, but it is impossible to cause the host-guest contrast to be so large because of this. The most important thing is determination. Many teams face Manchester United on the road. The game surrendered before the game started, and at home, for the sake of face, we have to fight and fight together. We all found that Manchester United is not invincible. Liverpool is also the same. , Almost 1:2, as long as we forget the pressure here and forget that the other party is Liverpool, only if they are ordinary opponents, playing our own football, showing our strength, what about Liverpool? We are at Old Trafford Germany can score five goals. Is it difficult to score at Anfield? And to be honest, Liverpool's defense is worse than Manchester United. This point, Pavel should have a deep understanding."

Nedved nodded naturally, Keenegabat's midfield defense combination and Redknapp Gabanes, the defensive hardness is not a level.

England once gave birth to tactical master Chapman. On the basis of its WM tactics, it extended the classic tactics of European and South American football powers, but England always stood still after achieving certain achievements. The forward tactics, the tasks of the two wingers are basically the same as today's English wingers. They all take the ball to create opportunities on the wing, and then pass the ball to the center.

After 442 became the mainstream of England, England's tactics entered the "hibernation" again. The offensive players did not defend, and the defensive players did not attack.

Aldridge built a technical and tactical team. Only from the first half of the performance, Aldridge has been full of confidence in the game, did not score in the first half, and Trezeguet, lost The ball is not catastrophic. The goal is to score a goal on the football field. It’s just a blink of an eye. Millwall isn’t attacking. He won’t be panicked.

Sometimes, when the wrong timing is changed, the consequence is to destroy the Great Wall.

Clapping hands, Aldridge smiled at the players: "Come on, the enemies are not strong, we are stronger than them, it's that simple, and after an hour, we go home with victory."

All the players roared in unison.

They sorted out their jerseys, and each followed the smiling Audridge outward.

Aldridge was happy, the team's temperament has been formed.
