Aldridge has been preparing for eight years in order to become a head coach, and has been officially employed for more than five years, and has been immersed in football for thirteen years, and he has developed his own concept of developing players.

Like Lampard, he is somewhat similar to Gerrard, but in terms of development, Aldridge has stereotyped him in the midfield, playing Pirlo's substitute, maybe Lampard is certainly not as good as Pirlo in terms of organizational talent, but he can strengthen the defensive hardness of the midfield, the attack only needs him to shoot forward from a distance like Pirlo, the B2B area of activity has not changed, but the task on the field is fixed.

Another example is Pedretti, that is, to practice directly in the way of Makelele, so that 80% of his energy is devoted to defense, and the remaining 20% is involved in offensive strategy, and the rest of the matter, don't care!

Practicing these two items well and practicing them brilliantly is definitely more valuable than practicing comprehensiveness.

Players who can attack and defend sound awesome, but as the game becomes more intense and the gap between the top teams is minimal, you want to be invincible when you attack, steady as Mount Tai when defending, and one person seems to dominate the stadium, whimsical!

As for Irving, Aldridge no longer has expectations after being disappointed four years ago, Irving's development trajectory is the same as in history, pure shooter plus frequent games at the beginning of his career, almost full attendance for two consecutive seasons, no reasonable rest, no wonder he is full of injuries in the future and can not be completely healed, typical overwork, this kind of star to buy as soon as possible, and then buy when he becomes famous, Aldridge must at least give him at least half a year off to recuperate, and also change his style of play, Anyway, it's impossible for a team to rebuild a technical and tactical system for the sake of a player. If you think about it, you will know that it will be difficult to retreat.

"The second round of the new Premier League season is about to begin. Liverpool, who beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 away in the first round, ushered in their first official home game of the new season. They will face last season's league champions Millwall, Millwall quickly entered the game in the new season, winning comfortably at home to local rivals Tottenham in the first round of the league, Hall declared before the game that he was looking forward to this game, he wanted to compete with the young Liverpool, I don't know if his words are true or false, but Liverpool did use a lot of young people in the new season. ”

Millwall, who were the visitors, continued to start the first round of the league and Liverpool's starting formation was 442.

Goalkeeper: Sandel Westerved.

Houllier started cleaning Liverpool hot guys in the summer. Goalkeeper David James was sent away and replaced by Westerved, who was brought in from the Netherlands.

Defenders: Rigobert Song, Stephen Henkz, Sami Hyypia, Dominic Matteo.

Hyypia was unexpectedly awarded the captain's armband by Houllier for the new season, hoping that he could shoulder the responsibility of being a role model for the team and lead Liverpool on the road to revival.

Midfielders: Dietmar Hamann, Steven Gerrard, David Simpson, Danny Murphy.

Forward: Titi Kamara. Michael Owen.

Liverpool have some summer signings in their squad, as well as young talents from their own academy. With such a team that looks young in terms of age and team maturity, I wonder if Lu Dao will be able to withstand Millwall, who has super offensive firepower today. ”

Aldridge looked at the young rookies in Liverpool's squad, especially the midfielders, and all but Dietmar Hamann was 26 years old, and the other three players were all around 20 years old.

Hamann plays defensive midfield, and the other three players may be a small diamond-shaped midfielder, maybe a line-up, who knows what to do, look at the game.

A player like Simpson, who has also belonged to the 96 Liverpool academy in the past few years, quickly proved that he could not establish himself at the top level in the future, and his career was tortuous, and he came back from the lower leagues step by step after being abandoned by Liverpool, and later entered the England national team, which became an inspirational story, but that's all.

Danny Murphy, this Junjun Aldridge can not think of anything earth-shattering on the field except that he is talked about as a Manchester United killer.

Liverpool kicked off the ball first after the game began, fell backwards at the back, got into the rhythm of the game, and then mismade the first pass forward.

Simpson's through ball to Kamara was easily intercepted by Makelele.

Millwall counter-attacked, Makelele handed the ball to Pirlo, who was already posted up behind Gerrard, who turned his back to Schneider on the wing, who then passed forward to Larsson, who did not turn and crossed Nedved.

In this way, Millwall's attack became a frontal advance, and it flowed extremely smoothly.

Nedved broke through Hamann's defence and found himself in front of the box and slotted in front of Hyypia, where Henry slotted in and hit the ball with his feet and the ball grazed the post and flew into the stands.

In the past, facing Evans' Liverpool, the opponent would remove a striker and add a midfielder to defend, but today Liverpool has four midfielders, not reducing the configuration of two strikers, but compressing the central defense and weakening the wing defense.

Millwall opened and played in the middle, Liverpool's four midfielders kept retreating, just in front of the back line crazy siege, sometimes failed to be Millwall found a chance to shoot, sometimes successful, but because the distance from the front line was too long, from defense to attack could not find the ball point, quickly lost the ball again, and then continued to enter the defensive rhythm.

Liverpool were completely passive from the start.

Houllier's expression was solemn, and Aldridge didn't know what was going on in his heart, perhaps hoping that Liverpool's young players and new signings could grow up quickly under pressure.

Aldridge looked up at his watch, and the first fifteen minutes of the game passed quietly.

He made a gesture from the sidelines to remind the players on the field.

The pre-match tactics didn't change, he just made the players pay attention to the timing.

Reminded by the coach, the players are unified.

Nedved dropped back to get the ball in midfield to attract the attention of Gerrard and Murphy, and his run back in this way would make the players who were watching him subconsciously follow, and then Nedved made a one-two with Pirlo and the ball returned to Pirlo's feet. The latter played a pinpoint through ball to Larsson on the right. Larsson dribbled laterally to get rid of Mateo's defence and pulled the ball out of the box to Thierry Henry, who received the ball.

Larsson runs forward. It seemed like he was going to go straight to the ribs, but Hyypia saw that Mateo couldn't keep up with Larsson, so he moved slightly to the left to block Larsson's forward path.

All eyes were drawn to Millwall's attack on the right, but Thierry Henry played the ball down the left.

Xiao Luo received the ball while running inside from the side, left Song directly behind, and after entering the penalty area, he feinted to go down to deceive Henkez, and pulled the ball out of the gap horizontally to shoot hard!

The shot was powerful. Aldridge on the sidelines thought it was a must!

But goalkeeper Westerved bravely used his body to block the ball!

The ball bounced off the box and before Hamann was cleared, someone took the ball forward before him, Nedved!

He followed up with a sloppy volley, and the Liverpool goalkeeper fell to the ground after making a save, and it was too late to get up again, and the ball went straight into the middle of the goal!

Ronaldinho's powerful shot was saved, and Nedved followed up with a follow-up shot! Millwall get off to a great start at Anfield! ”

After the goal, Nedved made a "don't come" gesture to his team-mates, fearing that he would be caught or thrown to the ground, and he trotted all the way to the visitors' dugout. Pointing to Aldridge along the way, he smiled at Aldridge when he came to the sidelines: "Boss." This goal is for your two precious sons, unfortunately, I couldn't score in the last game, today's goal came a little late, but I still bless the two little ones! ”

Aldridge hugged him tightly and said to himself: "Then you should have stopped me from replacing you in the last game." ”

"No, I know we need to stay fit for the whole season."

"Good job, come on, you are already a legend of Millwall, but you can become a legend of world football!"

"Well, I'm going to try, keep working hard until I can't kick that day!"

The rest of the squad rushed over to celebrate, symbolizing the team's unity, which Aldridge believes is more important than anything else.

Watching the players walk back onto the field, Aldridge's eyes changed and he was satisfied with the performance of the players just now.

Liverpool compressed the middle defense, Millwall attacked the middle to attract defensive attention, and then through a rapid large-scale transfer, from right to left, Larsson ran to attract attention, Henry suddenly transferred, Xiao Luo unexpectedly killed, when the Liverpool defense was instantly stretched horizontally, Xiao Luo's personal play played an immediate role.

The ball, although it was Nedved who scored, but Ronaldo Jr. shook off Song, and there was room to move past Henkz, which was the key to the goal, if he shot a little more tricky, this goal would not have been Nedved's turn to make up for it.

In fact, the top players in the Liverpool team can hardly be seen, Hyypia has not really stepped into the ranks of top defenders, Owen should be counted as one, but when the midfield is suppressed, he is completely invisible as a pure goalscorer.

Song and Henkz were the side that Millwall focused on, but Millwall didn't hit this side as soon as they came up, but attacked the middle first, then spread out from the right, and then delivered a fatal blow on the left after the last.

Aldridge doesn't pay much attention to Rigobert Song, and is no different from most ordinary players in the Premier League, one-on-one, certainly not Ronaldo's opponent.

But if he knew that this Song had a nephew, of course his surname was Song, but his name was Alexander-Song, he would probably have to have a good chat with this Mr. Song.

After the goal, Millwall still suppressed Liverpool, the opponent wanted to exert force, but could not control the midfield at all, Aldridge never gave privileges to the players on the field, everyone must participate in the defense, Henry who played as a center forward is no exception, so even if the attack is frustrated and loses the ball, the frontcourt players actively counter-attack on the spot makes Liverpool unable to organize an effective attack at all.

To crush Liverpool today, Aldridge believes that the most crucial link is the suppression of one player in Liverpool's midfield: Hamann.

This man plays as a midfielder, defensive steals are his strengths, once he is sticky, the consequences are unimaginable, and his pivotal role in switching from defense to attack is very obvious, handling the ball is not gorgeous, but the next option to control the ball is very reasonable.

So Millwall has to avoid Hamann in attack, Henry has to harass Hamann when defending, and other players block his ball line when marking defense, which Millwall did very well today, and it is also the reason why Liverpool can continue to suppress.

The Reds fans in the stands could only sing besides singing.

Playing against ordinary opponents, they will think that Gerrard, Murphy, Simpson can be expected of these players, but today, they only saw the rampaging Gerrard, Murphy who couldn't hold the ball steadily, Simpson who passed forward three times in a row, but Hamann had the highest pass success rate, but he couldn't support the midfield.

What bothered Reds fans the most was that today's opponent was Millwall, whom they did not want to face, especially the man standing on the sidelines: Aldridge Hall! (To be continued......)
