The Young Lion
Chapter 79: Laconia
Millwall came to Manchester's game team, coaching staff, players, team doctors, team managers, etc. have already embarked on their way back to London, only the head coach stayed.
Ferguson’s office is not large and has a strong reception room color. A transparent coffee table is placed in the middle of the room. Leather sofas are placed under the three walls surrounding the coffee table. Photos or meaningful famous paintings hang on the wall above the sofa.
Aldrich came here as a guest. When Ferguson went to pour wine, he stood by the wall and admired one of the photographs: "The Living Beams" was created in 1932 during the construction of the Rockefeller Building in New York.
In the picture, 11 construction workers are sitting on aerial steel bars, and below them are the bustling high-rise buildings of New York City, hundreds of meters away from the ground.
In a sense, this reflects the actual status of 11 people on the football field, the occupational dangers, the courage above the sky, the professionalism, the trust and communication with colleagues, and other qualities. It can do all this, then, You can see the mountains and build a magnificent foundation of American spiritual symbol like Rockefeller Center. This painting condenses the spirit of the Red Devil.
"Aldrich, you almost made me heart attack today."
Aldridge turned around and saw Ferguson sitting on the sofa at the other end of the coffee table. He had red wine in his hand, and the red wine poured for Aldridge was placed on the other end of the coffee table.
Sitting opposite Ferguson, Aldridge took a drink and took a sip, aftertaste nothing much.
"Why? Don't like it?"
Ferguson has a light smile on his face. The war is over. At this moment, two coaches, old and young, can sit down and talk and laugh, which is also a kind of enjoyment in life in football.
Aldrich shook his head and smiled frankly: “It’s true that my father used to be a street gangster when he was young. My elder brother was a glass worker when he was an adult. Cheers, there is no difference between drinking red wine and drinking beer, not to like or not to like, but it does not make me happy. If Millwall wins the game today, I will invite you to eat barbecue and drink beer."
Ferguson laughed when he heard that, he raised his wine glass and said, "This is port wine, from Portugal, and has a ceremonial color in the UK. I don't know your preferences, so I think that this kind of student will drink, the soldier will Drink, the red wine that the nobles will drink should be able to cope with you. It seems that I was wrong. So, let me tell you, what is the best red wine you have ever drank?"
After thinking for a while, Aldridge said: "82 Rafi, in fact, can't talk about the best drink, I am a layman, drinking red wine is to join in the fun."
In fact, Lafite is not the top in Europe with wineries everywhere, but Aldrich was fired in China in his previous life. It was just a product of the upstart vassal, so Aldridge has When I was money, I bought a bottle of 82 Lafite. In the 1990s, this bottle of wine was not as expensive as ten years later, so he could afford it. After drinking it, he was worthless.
Ferguson nodded: "Well, 82 years of red wine is indeed the best in recent decades, the grape harvest that year was very good."
"Related to grapes?"
"Of course, grapes are the main raw material for wine making, so good wine depends not only on the brewing technology, but also on the mood of God. He is in a good mood. The 82-year-old grapes have a good harvest and are in top condition. He is in a bad mood. Many ordinary grapes can't make classic red wine. Well, this is very similar to football games. Classic games are always born by accident, not by careful planning."
Aldridge nodded seriously. Ferguson took a sip and curiously said: "Aldrich, can you tell me the secret of your success? You have never played football, but your research on football tactics is impressive. Today, Millwall’s players are top-notch, but they can’t do without their usual training. Even if the football game is not a repetitive exercise, the tactics in the training can be copied on the football field, but in irregular football games. Being able to play such smooth football is inseparable from the coach’s training. In addition, many of Millwall’s players, Manchester United’s scouts followed me and told me that there are many young players with star potential, how did you choose These players? Where do they get their information?"
Aldrich agreed with Ferguson’s statement.
The football game itself has no rules to follow. Unlike basketball or football coaches, they use tactical boards to specify the offensive or defensive tactics to each player's running trajectory.
"I left London when I was less than thirteen and went all over the world. No, actually it was just in Europe, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Portugal, and even Northern Europe and Eastern Europe. Since then, I have been observing the football culture in different regions of continental Europe, and then put this into my head. To be honest, I am not a tactical madman, and I will not study how to make players on the tactical board all day. What have we achieved through complex positioning, have you heard of Laconian thinking?"
Ferguson shook his head seriously, even though he was a tasteful wine appraiser and a successful football coach, but his knowledge was similar to normal people. This is one of the reasons why he later confronted Wenger, Wenger always A wise scholar, and in front of Wenger, Ferguson would always inadvertently think of himself as a Glasgow dock worker.
"Lagonian thinking is actually simplified thinking, conciseness, and it is really rich, because everything is limited, only the simplest things can have the greatest fertility and imagination. I will let the players in training The ball is simple and fast, training their sense of running position, teamwork awareness, when these are maturing, they will play smoothly on the court naturally, and the defense is the same, instilling the simplest consciousness to them, the rest, They will try their best to do their best."
Aldridge said without concealment.
"Why are you so honest? Is there no secret idea?"
After listening to it, Ferguson thought a little, then asked more curiously.
Aldridge laughed and said: "Confidential? There is no secret in football. Any tactical framework is simple, and the efficiency of tactical execution depends on the ability of the players. All Premier League teams know that Manchester United will fly in both wings, but why still? Will it be beaten repeatedly? A large factor is determined by the player's ability, not whether the tactic is restrained, or how mysterious the tactic is. The strength of the player's direct confrontation directly affects the trend on the court, even if it is compensated by the number of people. Side defense, then there will be flaws in other places. For example, even if Manchester United returns to England's original long pass rushing game, the team's record will not fall sharply, because your long pass will be more accurate, And you can buy the top strong center to grab points in the middle, the same tactics, different teams use, the effect is different, the real tactical trend changes, football has appeared in the past hundred years in less than ten times, with the television The broadcast is well developed, and there are no tactical secrets on the football field. Some of them are just the match between players and tactics."
Ferguson exclaimed deeply: "You are right, the key is whether the characteristics of the players are consistent with the tactics. Putting the right players in the right position can achieve the best results, otherwise it is disaster."
This is the idea that Aldridge builds the team. He needs a strong center. Trezeguet is very suitable. Although Solskjaer is excellent, he cannot replace the young Trezeguet. He needs a midfield commander. Maybe Pakistan Lac, Nedved, and Vieira can all be competent, but in effect, there must be no better than Pirlo, the English defender needs a high degree of air control, players like Stam meet the requirements, and so on.
But the tactical mutual restraint relationship also exists, only that it will be deeply reflected in the contest between the top teams. The team has a strong lineup and a disparity in the game, even if the weak team's tactics and then restrain the strong team, it is very It's hard to get cold.
Ferguson got up to add a glass of wine to Aldridge and continued to ask: "So, where did you discover these players?"
Aldridge chuckled and said: "Did you just say? I have been to so many countries, I watched a game every week, and I left a lot of player names on my notebook, and my second brother opened A brokerage company, he employs scouts all over the world."
Ferguson suddenly realized that after a moment of silence, he raised his head and solemnly said: "Seven million pounds, Larson sells to Manchester United, or, five million pounds, that young Frenchman, Trezeguet."
Aldrich's happy mood disappeared in an instant, and the old fox finally shot!
He was uneasy in his heart. Ferguson was not the first to make an inquiry. He gave up three months ago, but after today's game, he still made up his mind.
Since he opened his mouth, the salary is certainly not a problem.
What's more, Trezeguet and Larson's excellent performance today is enough to make them pay high wages at Manchester United without being questioned.
In terms of transfer fees, seven million pounds is a very sincere price.
500,000 pounds more than Andy Cole’s transfer fee this spring, but 500,000 pounds less than Bergkamp’s transfer to Arsenal, which is the second highest price for an English football transfer. The latest record was created by Bergkamp.
Trezeguet's five million pounds is also sincere.
Aldridge put down his glass and said lightly: "I need to think about it."
"Whether the transaction is successful or not, Aldridge, the next time you come to Manchester United as a guest, I will open a bottle of 82 Lafite."
Ferguson got up and shook hands with Aldridge solemnly. Aldridge smiled and turned away.
