The Young Lion

Chapter 873: Not in vain

Aldridge is sitting in the locker room. This four-year-old multi-purpose stadium is not like a football field like England, so the internal landscape is magnificent, and all kinds of facilities are available to keep up with the development of modern trends. The above is a view of the Yokohama sports field.

The well-informed Aldridge looked at the brand new furnishings in the locker room. It was only four years later. Naturally, there is no historical heritage. Just like Japanese football, it has just started, and the stupid bird flew back. Ambition.

This is the case for competitive sports. As small as a club, as large as a country, there is no ambition to compete, no ambition to go to the top, no matter how boastful it is, you can't enter the room. Only if you really have the heart to fight, will there be a future. Talkable.

The World Cup finals are in sight, Aldridge is asking himself a question.

Are your ambitions satisfied?

I can't answer it myself, but if I ask myself, what is the current ambition compared to eight years ago?

There is no controversy in the answer. Naturally, today is not as impressive as it was eight years ago.

It's unavoidable, but there is a bit more sour arrogant arrogance, who should I show it to? I don’t know, it’s nothing more than taking the shelf, once the sea is difficult to make water, except that Wushan is not a cloud, a kind of true and false master mentality. Looking at the world, which mountain is waiting for him to climb? Who can fight against him endlessly?

Aldrich also understands that if it is not the advantage of crossing, he is a fart!

However, since this man who was destined to be as good as a fart now is now the top coach of world football, he is allowed to be a villain in his life, and he is allowed to cover the rain and cloud with frivolous frenzy.

He took out his phone and glanced at it. In the message box, there was a text message draft that he had prepared. It was the message he was going to send to every player in Millwall after the game. The players of the team would be notified. The coach resigned and hoped that the players would support Klinsmann and continue to insist on playing for the Lions.

It was Aldridge’s fear that he didn’t announce the news to the team in the locker room in person. He didn’t eat hard, especially for those around him. He was afraid that the team would keep him, or that he would soften his mind.

He is not special. He may occasionally be pretentious in his complacency, claiming to be superior to other coaches, but when he is awake, he will put all his opponents in a higher position than himself. Opponents, in their brainstorming, are all standing around thinking from the standpoint of others as much as possible, and they are afraid that they will not do well.

But one thing, he has a clear conscience, that is diligence.

Don’t look at Aldridge getting mixed up in the football world, his status rises and rises again, and now he retires, it will inevitably be mixed with the title of legendary legend, but in the real aristocratic circle in England, Aldridge is mostly celebrities Gentlemen and ladies are ridiculed as fools, born to work hard, don’t understand enjoyment, don’t understand the pastime, even the prince who should be careful and prudent to maintain the royal face is more scandalous than him, right and wrong, all kinds of tall pleasures are common, Not to mention the rich men who are smoking cigarettes and bills, how could they run to work as a football coach working in the sun and rain?

Ferguson's limited energy and began to decentralize, Aldridge did not compare with him, Wenger was not young, and Aldridge did not compare with him, but the entire European football, coach under the age of 50, not to mention fame High and low, it is really time-consuming to put energy into work, and it is worthy of painstaking efforts. Aldridge admits that he is the second.

This is true of him, and so are the coaches around him. It is this group of young and energetic people who acclaimed their blood with youth, and together they laid down the dynasty of the mad lion. .

Lao Tzu may not be as smart as any of you.

Maybe it’s really not as good as anyone of you.

It’s not as good as any of you who got your ears from a famous teacher.

But Lao Tzu is fighting against you, working harder than you, winning you, don't be convinced!

When Aldridge recovered, the locker room was already full of people.

The English team and the coach stood in front of him. Aldridge stood up. Whether a team is handsome or not is not a word of mouth, but a feeling.

Players are willing to sell their lives for you, and you are willing to pay for the players. Everyone puts the common interests of the team in the first place.

For a year and a half, a group of people who only gathered together for an average of a month and a half, knowing each other warmly and coldly, Lu Yao knows that the horsepower has seen people's hearts for a long time, and the friendship between the young handsome and them is completely silent.

"I envy you, really."

Aldridge smiled and said.

This made the three lion squads who were ashamed to prepare for a terrifying battle were a bit ignorant. They always felt that it was time to sharpen their swords, but they were all distracted by Aldridge's opening speech.

"I am a fan first, and then a football coach, not a fan. I can’t love football. If I don’t love football, I can’t do this job. I envy you guys for being real. You guys are going to play in the World Cup final. If you can, try to make Michael jealous of me all my life. I will let him sit on the bench. I wear his jersey to play on the striker. I like to play the striker. Unfortunately, my one minute career I haven’t played in the league and I can’t even score 20 goals.”

As soon as Aldridge's voice fell, the corners of the room were raised, and Aldridge felt like a child at this time.

"In two hours, my work for the England national team will be over. Gareth, don’t talk, just listen to me. I will no longer be the coach of England, but you will still be the international of England. The World Cup is held once every four years, and the finals are the same. With four games, only 22 players in the world can start in the finals. With substitutions, 28 people stand on the stage, four years, 28 people, eight years , 56 people, even 12 years, but only 84 people, minus the initial growth period of the player’s career, cut the trough of the player’s career end, no matter how glorious, playing 3 World Cups in 12 years should be the limit. The total number of players who can participate in 4 times and 5 times is only 10. In the process of the 3rd World Cup, how many professional players will be born? How many players will retire from the curtain call? Countless, countless, as this Of the 84 people in the limit, more than I am envious? I don’t know how many fans in the world, how many professional players are envious."

In the light words, the English players all over the house put a smile on their faces, and they looked sullen.

It’s not easy to get here, 28 people in 4 years, and 84 people in 12 years, let alone half of the championship. It is conceivable that Aldridge’s only words and phrases made the spirit of the team highly concentrated. But there is no half-pointed pressure from the old stereotyped incentives.

Aldridge has a gentle look, and finally said: "This should be the only World Cup final in my life. I am proud of you and proud of you. You should also be like this. To put it bluntly, although some of you are still young However, I think that in the next ten years, England will no longer be able to reach the World Cup finals, you have to ask why? I can also tell you, because the development of England’s league is very unfavorable for local players, more and more foreign players make local rookies have no The living space, especially the players who emphasize the technical ability, England itself is no match for foreign players. Naturally, a few seedlings will be easily taken away by foreign players. This game will be the most in your international career An important game."

After speaking, Aldridge bypassed the player and walked out, murmured, but was still heard by the players.

"Today, I waited 36 years, and next time, would it take another 36 years?"

After the three lion corps will leave after Aldridge, Southgate said in a deep voice: "Anyway, I can't count on four years later, because after four years I am really old, John, Sol, Leo, The three of them are the pillars, so this game is the most important game in my life. I want the Hercules Cup, and I have no chance to dream in front of my eyes. Guys, put the Hercules Cup together. Bring back to England, will you?"

"nonsense!"

McManaman spit out a word, and everyone in the locker room laughed...

Aldrich walked into this comprehensive stadium. Before the game, half of the closing ceremony had been completed. After the award ceremony, there were the remaining ceremonies, which were not of concern to Aldridge. As with every performance before the Champions League final, he never paid attention.

German coach Waller is obviously more experienced than Aldridge. People have played in the World Cup finals, and now lead the team to the World Cup finals. If they really win the cup, this is not to walk the old road of Beckenbauer again. ?

However, experience does not mean courage. On the sidelines, Waller secretly surprised when shaking hands with the smiling Audridge: In the previous 6 games, the young master was unsmiling and serious, and a pair of soldiers fought against the iron. What did the general look like today?

He didn't understand, he didn't want to, he couldn't figure it out with common sense anyway.

Moreover, he really couldn't relax.

It is not unreasonable for England's probability of winning the championship to be evaluated above the German team.

There are players on both sides who are not suspended, but the German team is more injured on the side, and it is the midfield soul general Barack who suspended the game. This offense has broken a lot and the defense has also lost a lot. The suspensions are all full-time role players, which have a positive impact on the strength, but it is really painful for the attack and defense system, which cannot be assessed with individual strength.

Aldridge has an open mind this time, and two hours later, he ended the World Cup journey.

I don’t know if it was because he defeated Brazil, but he kind of vaguely has no regrets about this World Cup. If England can’t do anything with Germany, besides hating iron, it’s hard to make two weathers. The great Liu Adou will never be more difficult for himself.

The World Cup where the heroes of the world played on the stage lasted for a month. You sang me to the stage. At the end, 30 teams sadly called the curtain, and the rest were England and Germany.

Standing in the area in front of his coach, Aldridge shrugged and muttered to himself: "Well, shaking hands with the seven national team coaches, no, eight, Sweden are the two coaches, turning Japan around. And, there was a little bit of limelight in the celebration of kneeling, and I didn’t secretly practice kneeling to celebrate, um, this World Cup, I didn’t come in vain."
