The Young Lion

Chapter 245: Start the new season!



After arranging the room for Messi and Aguero, it was time to eat, and Audridge first left, intending to let these two little ones take the initiative to adapt to the environment here.

Without adult leadership, they will instinctively integrate here.

Aldridge came downstairs to the first floor. When he passed by the indoor court and saw Ronaldo playing against the wall, he walked over and said, "It\'s time to eat, rest."

Ronaldo stopped the ball, sweating already on his body, and said with some frustration: "Coach Mullenstin made me insist on kicking the wall with my left foot for an hour every day. I don\'t know what it means."

Aldrich heard his complaint, and understood it.

The training is boring, so coaches will often rack their brains to design some interesting training, which can not only improve the training enthusiasm of the players, but also achieve the training effect.

However, some of the most basic training, no matter how boring, must allow players to insist on completion.

"Do you know who Ronaldinho is?"

Ronaldo bent down and picked up the ball, with a light expression: "I know, that Brazilian, he is very powerful, but I must be more powerful than him in the future."

Aldrich shook his head and said: "If you don\'t insist on such training, you can\'t be more powerful than him. When he first came to the team, he showed amazing talent, but his feet are not balanced enough, you It is impossible to understand the importance of bipedal balance now. If you can only play with your right foot in the future, then in the game, your opponent will more easily limit your play in defense, forcing you to use your left foot touch more The ball, and then, waiting for your left foot to control the ball. Ronaldinho overcomes this, except for the obvious technical gap between his feet in the shooting link, but in the dribbling to control the ball and short pass, etc. In the technical aspect, you can hardly tell which foot is his non-dominant foot, which makes his threat of ball rise straight, because the opponent cannot predict which foot he will use to complete the next action."

Ronaldo frowned and thought for a moment. When he matured prematurely, he seriously considered Aldridge\'s words, and finally depressed the impetuous mentality. Then he looked up and asked, "How long has he been training like this?"

"Training with your left foot for an hour and a half every day, he persisted for a year without interruption. You are still young, the training time should not be too long, listen to the coach’s arrangement, Mullensteen will make you excellent, so, listen His, don’t question it, hard work is enough.”

Ronaldo nodded solemnly, and then walked out of the indoor court with Aldridge. He went to the shower to take a shower, and then went to the restaurant to eat.

Aldridge went back to his office, and Andrew was waiting in the office.

"Is everything done in Spain done?"

After returning to the office, Aldridge opened the door and asked with a smile.

Andrew put down a magazine and sat on the sofa with Erlang\'s legs: "Well, Rivaldo\'s personal treatment has been negotiated. The rest is the transfer fee between Barcelona and A Coruña."

Ronaldo transferred to Inter Milan as early as July, and Barcelona locked in Rivaldo in the search for a replacement. Although the transfer fee has not been negotiated, personal treatment has been negotiated in private, waiting for the transfer between clubs. Consensus was reached.

The two brothers left the club together for dinner at a high-end restaurant in the city.

The two chatted about what had happened in the last two months. Audrey spoke out of his experiences in various European countries. Andrew heard him robbed on the streets of Rome and laughed happily.

Next, Andrew also told Audrey about the introduction of Aguero and Messi.

Aguero\'s side is not difficult, but in the same period, the Argentine giants wanted to allow Aguero to be trained in the lower echelon.

However, it is obviously impossible for the independent team to provide high treatment for the 9-year-old Aguero. This kind of "children\'s" training is mostly the opportunity for the club to provide high treatment for young players.

The Aguero family counted as brothers and sisters, there are more than ten people, they live in slums, apparently have no patience to wait for Aguero to become a star and let them get rid of poverty and become rich.

From slums to London, it is the same as going straight to heaven from hell. Moreover, Andrew has given more sincerity than they can afford: Immigration to the UK, don’t worry about investment, five years later, the original British debt of two million pounds, you Sell ​​if you want to sell, keep it if you don\'t want to sell, it\'s all yours anyway!

Messi’s side was more complicated. Andrew found someone to pretend to be a Boca youth scout, and found Messi “by accident”, and then asked him to go to training, but underwent a medical examination, and unexpectedly found Messi suffering from Lack of developmental hormones, "Boca Youth" dispelled interest in Messi.

After waiting for half a month, when Messi\'s family sought medical treatment, Andrew came to the door and sent out an invitation letter without hesitation. The other party agreed without hesitation, and fearing Andrew\'s remorse, he urged Andrew to arrange for them to come to the UK as soon as possible, so that Messi got the best treatment.

Although there are some shady means, Aldridge doesn\'t think there is any problem. Judging from the results, Messi\'s earlier treatment and targeted growth training are beneficial to him.

At the end of the chat, the two mentioned the eldest brother Barnett who hadn\'t seen him for almost half a year.

He stayed in the United States for half a year. He didn\'t even call his family for more than a month in the past. It was really busy and crazy.

Andrew\'s words were full of complaints both inside and outside, Aldridge probably could guess some, the Asian financial turmoil kicked off, and the big brother is making a fortune in the United States through the financial war.

The day before the Community Shield game, the training ended early. At the Leo training base, the players put on neat and clean jerseys and lined up one by one.

The coaching team headed by Aldrich also wore dark blue sportswear. The coaching staff sat together. The players were standing behind them, facing the camera, and smiling and holding their heads.

The photographer took a "family portrait" of the new season for them.

The youth team was also taking pictures, each echelon took a group photo, and then all came to take a group photo with Zhang Da.

Not finished yet, Aldridge asked the photographer to take a group photo with all Millwall players.

The youthful youths of the youth team came to the training ground of the first team. The small players who usually twitched and all became quiet suddenly. They were probably shocked by the first-team star gas field. Their eyes were frequently thrown at Larson. , Nedvide, Southgate and other stars, both awe and longing in their eyes.

Because there are more than one hundred people in the queue, there are more at random.

Aldridge stood in the middle of the crowd, smiling with his arms around his chest, crowded in front and back.

At the forefront of the team, C Luo sat cross-legged on the turf, and his face was cruel with his cheeks in one hand. Messi and Aguero stood on the edge of the front row with their arms around each other. The expressions of the two teenagers were very serious.

Under the action of the videographer comparing his thumbs, this photo taken in early August 97 became what Millwall and even the world football would call the classic "family portrait" in the future.

Aldridge was full of pride in the moment the photo was taken.

Millwall not only has the present, but also has the future. He is very convinced that Millwall will become the most powerful super giant on the planet!

...

London, Wembley.

Millwall arrived here to prepare for the final warm-up match before the opening of the league. At least in the mind of Aldridge, this is a warm-up match.

Since Millwall won the league and the FA Cup last season, this community shield, which is regarded as a domestic championship last season, will be played by the league champion and the league runner-up.

Millwall vs Manchester United.

An hour before the game, more than 80% of the seats in the stands are empty, and players from both sides warm up on the court.

Aldridge stayed in the locker room to prepare for pre-match training. He seemed more relaxed. At this time, someone knocked on the door. After opening the door, Jenson found that he was a Manchester United player. Jenson did not think that the other party was going to the wrong place. Instead, he smiled at the other party: "I haven\'t seen you in a long time, Ole, how have you been recently?"

Baby-faced Solskjaer took the initiative to visit the Millwall locker room. He respectfully greeted every coach who had trained him before, and then came to Aldridge. The former mentor and apprentice asked about each other’s situation. Erskea once again congratulated Aldridge.

Even though he has put on the Red Devils shirt, his relationship with the Millwall coaching staff is very good. When he performs well at Manchester United, Aldridge will send a private text message to congratulate him. If he is injured or performs badly, Austria Derich also sent text messages to condolences.

Even Pires and Vieira, who had some unpleasant troubles with Audridge during the transfer, lined up to the Millwall locker room before Arsenal and Millwall last season, mostly expressing gratitude. In any case, Millwall cultivated them. Maybe Vieira did not play much in the official game, but it does not mean that he was treated unfairly in Millwall.

And like Phillips who has transferred to Sunderland, he has also kept close contact with Audridge. He often tells Audridge about his problems in Sunderland, hoping to listen to Audridge\'s suggestions.

Aldridge will not take the initiative to point fingers at players on other teams, but if his former disciples want to listen to his teachings, Aldridge will not be stingy to spend some time helping them.

After chatting with Solskjaer for more than ten minutes, Babyface left the Millwall locker room with satisfaction.

This kind of etiquette or old-style visit before the game is very time-critical. Basically, it is not possible within half an hour before the game, because it may be mistaken for a spy, so the baby face comes early and leaves early.

When Aldridge appeared on the sidelines of Wembley Stadium, the fans of the mad lions in the stands welcomed him with warm applause.

The community shield competition symbolizes the arrival of a new season in the Premier League.

Aldrich stood in front of the coach as usual, and his sharp eyes seemed to declare: 97/98 season, start the battle!
