The Young Lion

Chapter 462: England national team

Just an hour after the FA announced that Hodell was off get out of class, Aldridge’s phone was blasted.

Andrew asked if he had any intention to lead the national team to the next year's European Cup and temporarily serve as a temporary leader.

Andrew is a lobbyist, a lobbyist for Thompson, the FA's chairman.

Football Association Chairman Thompson believes that to stabilize public sentiment, there is still hope for this national team, to avoid the FA becoming a target, then you need to let a coach who can absolutely reassure the public immediately take office.

There are not many people on the England national team's candidate list.

Because the conditions for coaching are very harsh, in the past 100 years, the English national team has never had a foreign coach. Thompson, who is the chairman of the FA, naturally does not want this tradition to be broken by him. This tradition is also what the English people are willing to follow. They It is not a free and open Spain, they will be willing to use only local coaches like Germany and Italy. This is the tradition of a strong football country.

Aldridge asked Andrew to reject Thompson without any thought.

What a joke, Millwall is full of momentum this season. The most important thing now is stability. The internal calm has made Audridge very satisfied. At this time, he will take over as the coach of the England national team. With a negative impact on Millwall, he will not do unplanned things, it is simply destroying the Great Wall.

In addition to reporting the news of Hoddle’s class, Fleet Street, which has a good sense of smell, is naturally going to analyze the next England national team coach. Because of this, countless reporters called Aldridge for internal information and inquiries. , But Aldridge chose to refuse.

The media's call for Aldridge to take over as the national team's handsome voice continued.

The front page title of The Times is: Football Association, what are you waiting for? !

Below the title is a photo of Aldridge’s upper body, and below is a lot of trophies, each with a year written on it.

From the beginning of the 95th season to the end of the 98th season, all the trophies that Aldridge led his team in the four seasons, even those charitable shields that count on the skin.

But some media predicted that Aldridge could not be the coach of the England national team.

There is only one reason: Aldrich cannot give up Millwall's position.

The controversy on this matter has continued, which has also had a great impact on Millwall.

In preparation for the weekend league, countless fans gathered on the training ground and held high banners, all of which were words of hope that Aldridge would not leave Millwall.

Millwall now has money and can hire a coach to coach. I believe there must be many famous coaches willing to command this group of talented players to earn honors.

But the fans of the crazy lions are reluctant to see that scene, and even in the street interviews, most fans said that they were not interested in other so-called famous coaches. Even if Aldridge began to lead the team's record all the way down tomorrow, they would also like to see Audrey Qi continued to coach Millwall.

At least, they have been brilliant. At the peak, Aldridge was with them. If the team would fall, they would be willing to stay with Aldridge. This is a habit, just like a family, even if there is no Any passion, but just getting used to each other's existence, when you can't see it, everything will become different.

Ronaldinho ran straight in front of Aldridge during training and asked him: Boss, are you going to coach the England national team?

When the opponent directly asked such a question, Aldrich realized that this public opinion must stop immediately. Ronaldinho may have just asked everyone's voice. Other players did not ask, but they must have thought about it in their hearts.

At the pre-match press conference on Saturday, no reporter asked questions about the game, all focused on the focus of the England national team.

Aldrich took this opportunity to make a solemn statement: "When I took over the club of Millwall at the age of 18, I made a decision. In this life, I will only coach a club, that is Millwall, And I don’t want to retire now, so I will continue to work in this position. I hope that the England national team will become better and stronger, and have an excellent record in international competitions. However, I will not lead England The national team is going to compete for next year’s European Cup, which is not in my work plan. Now, my work goal is only one, that is to lead Millwall to fight for the defending league title and have a breakthrough in the Champions League field than last season. Please stop guessing whether I will coach the England national team, thank you."

Aldrich's statement immediately made the fleet stand down, the parties all spoke up, and no matter how the other people coaxed, it was just a sensation.

At the weekend's league, he awaits the visit of an old friend at home.

Bobby Robson led Newcastle United as a guest at Lions Den Stadium.

Robson took over this team when Newcastle United scored the bottom. At the end of the half-way of the league, Newcastle United had already left the relegation zone and opened a certain distance. Robson contributed to this, which is also Aldrich admires each other.

Some coaches will only play a good hand, and if they have a good hand, they can win, but they have no way to deal with a bad hand.

Some coaches can play both good and bad cards, and the results are not bad. Robson belongs to this type. They can lead Barcelona to play crazy offensive football. They can also lead the Eindhoven to the Champions League. Now And rescued the magpie from the bottom abyss.

Of course, this is not to improve Robson's coaching level. For example, he failed to beat Capello in La Liga and lost to Aldridge in the same season, but his ability to use his coaching experience and knowledge flexibly Recognized and respected, anyway, Aldridge feels that this kind of coach is worthy of admiration. Compared with many so-called "famous coaches" who have a poor record of coaching, he blames the players for their lack of professionalism. Robson's type of coach is really commendable.

Newcastle United are out of the relegation zone, and this season cannot produce too high a pursuit, so they don't have too much pressure to come to the Lion's Cave Stadium. It's right to play well.

Aldridge and the white-haired Robson had been standing together talking before the opening.

The two talk about nothing to do with the game, or about the coaching of the England national team.

Robson supports Aldridge to coach the national team, but Aldridge feels that the FA should not agree to his concurrent role and is a long-term leader.

The long term he refers to refers to a complete competition period. For example, if he now takes over the England national team, it can only be regarded as a short term, and it is incomplete. The European Cup qualifiers have ended, he is nothing more than leading the team to play a few A friendly game, and then go directly to the European Cup, this kind of short work, Aldridge feels that the possibility of failure is very, very, very big!

"Actually, do you also have an idea to accept the invitation from the FA?"

Robson heard the sound of Aldridge outside the string. At least, Aldridge did not deny it and talked about this topic. Then, it definitely proved that he had an idea in his heart.

Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, then replied: "It may be bewitched."

The bombardment of public opinion in the media these days has indeed caused him psychological shock.

I didn't think about this before.

He wants to lead the team, but also the Premier League team, and then serve as the England national team coach? The FA agree?

Stop dreaming!

But seeing the voices of the outside world so high, Aldridge said that there was no idea in his heart, and there was no temptation to move, it was impossible.

When the players started to enter the field, Aldridge and Robson embraced and walked back to their respective coaches.

Today's game, Robson's tactical arrangement is more pragmatic, and the strength of Newcastle United is no less than that of the previous year, oh, the strong period was also defeated by Millwall, which was not as good as it is now.

Millwall’s players are playing steadily on the court today. The rhythm is not fast, playing more patiently and securely. This is what Aldridge deliberately told before the game. It is not a fear of Newcastle United. It is his own adjustment.

In the new season in the league, they have won 15 consecutive victories. If you count the four consecutive victories in the Champions League, this wave of winning streak and status of the main lineup is almost to the limit!

Even if the strongest team, the state can not always maintain the highest peak, the state curve is bound to fluctuate like other teams, the difference between the strong team and the weak team is that the trough period of the strong team is shorter, the peak The period is longer and the fluctuation frequency is lower.

Millwall has set a new record, with 19 consecutive victories across the season, and now every league, they are likely to refresh this record.

Players need to slow down and let go, but now they are also breathing a sigh of relief, the goal is the Golden Globe Awards, every weekend game day, even if it is not the British media, the media of other European countries will also pay attention Millwall, to see if they can create a new league winning streak, this is the Golden Ball's best publicity offensive. As long as the players perform well, they will be magnified by the microscope and published by the media.

But Aldridge needs the players to be in a state of pressure in this game, don’t break out, don’t keep a stable state, and break out, wait for the next game!

In the next league match, the Battle of Kings Mountain in the Premier League, Millwall vs. Red Devils Manchester United!

At the end of the game, a huge cheer broke out at the Lion's Cave Stadium.

"Millwall has won the 16th league victory in the new season, winning 20 consecutive seasons! The streak records of the five major European leagues have been refreshed again. Although the score is 2:0, the scene is also unrest, but Millwall is in The strong dominance in the game is not to be ignored. Newcastle United only had 3 shots in the game. Robson lost to Aldridge for the second time. The veteran took the initiative to take the initiative with Aldrich after the game. Qi shook hands, the two old and new England coaches had a short post-match exchange. It seems that they are sympathetic. Now, all fans who care about Millwall can look forward to the next league. Millwall will be welcoming at home. Manchester United, whether the Red Devils can break Millwall’s winning streak is crucial to the Premier League’s suspense. Friends, see you in a week.”

Winning this game is very important for Aldridge.

Whether Millwall is terminated for a winning streak to face Manchester United, or with a 16-game winning streak in the new season to face Manchester United, morale must be diametrically opposed.

After interviewing the reporter in a hurry after the game, he left. Aldridge seemed to be very worried. He walked out of the club and got into a luxury car.

Today, Andrew, who was specifically called to watch the ball in the stadium, sat in the car. When he saw Aldridge getting in the car, he asked, "Where are you going?"

"Some things to think about, just go around in a secluded place."

"What do you want?"

"The England national team is handsome."

"Don't you already make a statement?"

"I just stated that I would never lead England to play next year's European Cup."

Andrew's eyes rolled and he smiled and said, "That's what it is."
