Chapter 16 Building Milner

Song Shiwan really doesn't have the data for Milner in the 2001-2002 season, because Milner was just mentioned by Oliley in the 2001-2002 season and had no record of playing in the first team. Not to mention Song Shiwan, I'm afraid no one has the specific data for Milner when he was in the youth team.

So where did the attribute card Song Shiwan made for Milner come from?

It's actually very simple. Milner started playing as a substitute for Leeds in the 2002-2003 season. Song Shiwan did not have the previous data, but he had all the data for the entire 2002-2003 season. In addition, Milner usually trained under Song Shiwan's nose, and summed up his data is too simple.

In the 2002-2003 season, Milner started twice for the Leeds first team league, 17 substitutes, 4 substitutes in the Cup, and scored 2 goals.

This data shows Ollie's emphasis on him and Milner's potential. However, if you finish reading this data, you will immediately discover Milner's shortcomings!

In all the starters and substitutes, Milner played as a winger most of the time, with 7 shots and 4 shots on the right.

This should be good data, why is it Milner's shortcomings?

Because in all the appearances, Milner did not make a foul, nor was he violated once!

Even red, yellow cards, offside have never appeared once!!

No fouls means that he is not active in the defense. Otherwise, as long as Milner participates in defense, he will not have a foul if he participates in defense. Not being violated means that he does not have a great threat to his opponent. In a Premier League league, he will not be violated in any of his 19 appearance records, even if he only plays in the last three minutes of the game.

There is also some technical data. Milner is currently in a relatively thin body, slow speed, and his feet are average. Except for the occasional extraordinary people that make people shine, he can be said to be mediocre in the rest of the time!

Why is such a player valued by Oliley?

Song Shiwan had to calculate his spiritual attributes that he had never revealed before!

Milner dared to ask Song Shiwan for advice privately in Ollillie's teaching, which shows that the player is not rigid and is willing to make all attempts for progress. In addition, after the youth team found that he was not outstanding on the wing, Milner took the initiative to practice the midfield position, which shows that he knew that he was not fast and could not play the role of a fast horse on the wing. He was seeking change and did not want to be completely submerged in the ocean of geniuses on the football field at the age of 16.

What would Milner be like, who is more well-known in the future?

After leaving Leeds, the Magpie was completely abandoned by Newcastle's wing, 30 appearances and scored only one goal in the 2004-05 season, and sublet Aston Villa. Milner found his true self in the future, because his position was changed to midfield, and began to gradually emerge. Unfortunately, Newcastle recalled Milner after seeing Milner's shining point. After three years of tossing and turning, Milner officially became a member of Villa and became famous with 12 goals in the league in the 2009-10 season.

He did not have the luck of Lampard, nor did Gerald's hard work and ended his hard work. He had been polishing himself in obscurity and spent eight years to succeed in his career. Even without the shining of double virtues, Milner was at least worthy of his efforts over the years.

How many players can still work hard after persisting for so long? How many talented midfielders appear in the Premier League every year? How many flash-like in the pan? How many die on the way to the star or give up due to injury?

Milner's tenacity is rare among players. Even if he is not fast, has the strongest physical discomfort, and his skills are not the best, but his tenacity is not inferior to any midfielder at all.

This is why Oliley really likes him.

"What kind of player are you going to be?"

Song Shiwan asked Milner, he always felt that Milner had chosen the wrong way. He had no physical conditions to play as a winger, and he would never be better than Scholes, Shuangdian, or even Giggs after changing positions. This is clearly not the most suitable route for Milner. Looking back at Milner's career, you will find that he has had long shots that are not as weak as Shuangdian, magical performances after taking the bench, and scoring points in the penalty area. He seems to always stand near the penalty area on the court, which is even more threatening.

"I... haven't thought about it, I just want to be better than now."

Song Shiwan smiled. Some players wanted to become Romario, some wanted to become Zidane, while some people never knew who they should become. Milner was such a child.

"You are yourself." Song Shiwan slapped Milner on the shoulder and looked at his eyes and said, "Milner doesn't have to be anyone, and I won't give you a video to imitate who will find the best way for you. However, starting today, I will tailor a training method for you that is exclusive to you."

Song Shiwan has already thought of the future for Milner. He saw Milner's shining points. Milner shot 7 times, 4 right-bye and 2 goals in his limited playing time, which proves that Milner felt very good at the moment of shooting!

The first player he thought of was Van der Fate, who was closer to the goal, and his speed might not be fast. His skills were excellent. The most attractive thing was his decisiveness at the moment of shooting and his accuracy under his feet.

But where is Van der Fate now? It's still in Ajax, the key is that Milner doesn't have Van der Fate's skills either.

"From today, you are not in the midfield or the wing forward, your position is in the front midfielder. Remember, Milner, what I need you to do is not assist the striker, nor to pass the ball to anyone, nor to use fancy moves on the court. I want you to think of a smart forward, and be honest in the frontcourt waiting for the opportunity. As long as the ball reaches your feet, the first thought that comes out of your mind is always shooting."

"The focus of your training is shooting and getting rid of it, and your vision must start from the front midfielder position and rush into the penalty area from the front midfielder position. This is the area suitable for you, so your physical training may increase. At the age when the technology has been established, no good body can never improve, do you understand?"

Milner was stupid. He had never tried the front midfielder position, not to mention that he was a special goal midfielder. Among their players, the two most familiar people in this position are Maradona and Gaza. Can he be like them?

"Okay, don't think about it here. Didn't you ask me to help you? I've already pointed out the way for you. Believe it or not, it's your own business... If you don't believe it..."

Before Song Shiwan could finish speaking, Milner immediately spoke: "I believe it!"

He understood that on the wing, he could not be better than Cowell, and in the midfield, he could not be stronger than Scholes, who just won the triple-winning champion. After Gazza, England has never produced a midfielder who can shock the world. Why don't you try it yourself?

"Okay." Song Shiwan looked up and shouted, "Dave, this child belongs to you, let Fowler teach him how to shoot."

The reporter who has been forgotten suddenly said, "Song...Mr. Song..."

Song Shiwan looked back at them and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Mr. Ollillie said you would welcome us…”
