Thank you for the rewards of "The Thief Died", "Qingqing Little Wolf", and "I Look Up to My Home in Hell"! ――

If Becky's influence as the darling of England, sought after by the media and the outside world, faintly led Ferguson to believe that Beckham was breaking away from his authority, and then evolved into a father and son duo parting ways, then Lampard's words made Aldridge no longer try to keep each other.

Succeed elsewhere?

What do you think of Millwall?

What do you think of Aldrich?

If he thinks he can succeed wherever he goes, Aldridge doesn't want to waste words, patience and energy, because Frank Lampard has more confidence in himself than he can do.

Aldridge is impatient with players over 21 years old, because 21 years old, for a professional player, should be the stage of maturity, only before the age of 21, Aldridge will invest more patience to teach players, as for Lampard's mentality change over the year, or self-confidence improvement, and then become a little "no one" in the eyes of Aldridge, Aldridge feels very normal, young ambition, 24 years old to win the Hercules Cup, and he is not allowed to be a little "Lao Tzu No. 1 in the world." "Thoughts?

Aldrich himself has it.

He also considered himself unbeatable.

began to feel that he was unique, and the gap between his peers and him was gradually manifesting, this gap. It's not a contest of one or two games. It's a chasm. Once a level gap is subtly recognized by the outside world, such a gap will not change because of the results of one or two games.

The arrogant Aldridge, the arrogant Frank Lampard, the two could not agree.

From Aldridge's point of view, he will think about the players and think about them. But there is a big premise, and that is to consider the interests of the club first.

Keeping Frank Lampard, along with his contemporary, will see these two players with different styles and characteristics competing against each other at the start of Nedved's curtain call, which in itself will provide Millwall with more technical and tactical options for the future, not to mention the depth of the squad in itself.

But now that Lampard is leaving, Aldridge has to say sorry, no. Not at all.

He is a more realistic person, so realistic that he doesn't care about the fame of those "famous" stars.

Frank Lampard past Millwall. How many contributions have you made?

Except for this season, he has not played the main team before.

It's Millwall who has been cultivating him, and the scandals off the field during his period, and the negative news about having an affair with the third version of the girl, Aldrich has also been tolerating him, occasionally warning, maybe Ronaldo also has, but what is Ronaldo's contribution to Millwall?

That's the reality.

Now, with fame and strength, he began to ask for it, and like a spoiled child, he would lose his temper if he didn't get it, yes, the other party was actually just very realistic, since he couldn't get it here, he would go elsewhere to ask for it.

His departure, in Aldrich's eyes, is nothing more than an exodus akin to an "obsolete product".

There is no shortage of geniuses in the giants, and a team without a talent cannot be called a giant, at most with a prefix: the former giants.

And in a wealthy family, the success of a genius is to suck the blood of countless geniuses of the same generation!

In the past, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Phillips, Tony, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Didier Drogba, Spain's Vicente and Joaquín, Vieira, Ferdinand, etc., were mostly in a similar situation, and they were squeezed out of room by better figures in the same period, and they had to leave!

Only those like Shevchenko, Trezeguet, etc., were the ones that Millwall failed to keep and had to let them go.

Today, Aldridge continued to trust Nedved and Lampard followed the same path as many of his previous greats, leaving.

No one knew that Frank Lampard's fate was decided in the United dressing room, and no one knew that on his way back to London from Manchester, Aldridge called the heads of several top European clubs, including Laporta, the favorite candidate for the presidency of Barcelona, Florentino at the helm of Real Madrid, and Beckenbauer, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, among others.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are chasing Xiaobei, Bayern Munich has Ballack, and does not need Lampard.

When Aldrich returned to London, things were settled.

Inter Milan in Italy is subject to Juventus and Moggi to cover the sky, they can rarely buy their favorite players in the country, when Aldridge to Moratti to promote Lampard, Moratti agreed, in terms of transfer fees, Inter Milan is not stingy, directly opened 25 million pounds, Aldridge quickly cut through the mess, nodded and agreed.

After the call with Moratti, Aldridge called Andrew again and told him the result, without explaining anything, there was no need.

When he got home, Aldridge left the team work behind completely, and when he entered the house, he threw away his suitcase and sat back on the sofa to let out a sigh of relief, complaining: "It's been too long to be away from home, it's torture." ”

Evan happened to walk downstairs with the little princess Bonnie in her arms, and she smiled: "It's not right, in fact, you've been very happy in the past two months, haven't you?" ”

Aldrich took Bonnie and kissed her little cheek tenderly, then kissed Evan again, smiling without saying a word.

Evan knew him, and he didn't quibble.

Sitting in the box of the stadium and watching the game, it always felt like an outsider, and back in the team, even if it didn't come back to Manchester United to defend the league title, it felt really different, and the one that happened during this period was unforgettable.

Especially thinking that Wenger is more bitter than him, Aldridge really doesn't think it's so tragic, after all, there is a back.

"Dad, when are we leaving?"

Bert and Earl, who ran in from the backyard with a soccer ball in their arms, shouted happily.

Aldrich leaned back on the sofa and said weakly: "Let Dad rest for a night, and tomorrow we will go on an adventure." All right? ”

Following. Aldrich's family embarks on a summer journey.

Mid-June. Two of the biggest seismic transfers in English football were born.

The 28-year-old Manchester United number one star, England national team vice-captain David Beckham, joined Real Madrid for 35 million euros, and the Galaxy has become a giant.

Frank Lampard, who has just turned 25 years old, one of England's World Cup winners, landed in the Apennines for a transfer value of 25 million pounds, joined the Serie A runners-up for two consecutive years, and Inter Milan, who reached the Champions League semi-finals last season!

Becky's departure is not unexpected, starting in February this year. The outside world has basically had a strong prediction about this result, especially when Ferguson led the Red Devils back to the top of the Premier League, and the departure of Xiaobei was even more certain.

Frank Lampard's departure has caused a lot of controversy, with some believing it to be the loss of Premier League stars, some speculating about the conflict between him and his mentor Aldridge, or whether he has been marginalised in the Millwall dressing room. Isolated?

Although the Millwall dressing room is headed by captain Gareth Southgate, Millwall has never been a team with a distinctly English overtone. And first there was Joe Cole who was dropped and was cheaply taken away by Tottenham at the end of the season for £7 million. Later, Frank Lampard left the Apennines, and many English celebrities decided that Sir Hall's tolerance for English players had reached the limit!

It is undeniable that the arrogance in the bones of the British makes them easy to get fluttery when they have achieved something, asking for high salaries, off-the-field scandals, being keen on showmanship, endless open and secret fights, etc., demanding, always more than contributing, as if, the word sacrifice rarely appears in the English.

Just as the time came to the end of June, a milestone event occurred in English football and even European football.

Let's go back in time to the beginning of June, in England, the news of the bankruptcy of lower-division teams, especially the financial crisis of the lower-division broadcaster ITV, has made it even more difficult for the lower-division teams to survive.

Leeds United survived last season, selling a lot of stars to avoid bankruptcy and the team narrowly relegated to the Premier League, while the joke sounded too cold to Ritzdale before the season when they said they could still compete for the title, but they were only one place above the relegation zone at the end of the season.

Leeds United are still raising loans, and their operating costs have been greatly reduced, but the previous loans, which now need to be repaid, are still a very large burden, so they still have to continue to open up sources and reduce expenses to "buy time", otherwise, the end of bankruptcy and liquidation is still unavoidable.

And the same economic crisis, which broke out completely last summer, was Chelsea.

Last summer's transfer market was a picture of Chelsea, who didn't spend a penny and made £500,000 netting.

Inside the arena, Ranieri proudly boasted that his team was great and that he had made it to the Champions League despite last summer's zero investment as a testament to his team's strength and progress.

On the other hand, the gloom surrounding the sprawling village of Chelsea has lingered.

For almost 18 months, Chelsea owner Bates has been overwhelmed by more than £90 million in debt.

There are three problems he faces, the first is that although Chelsea has built a mature commercial chain, the team is not particularly good, and the development of restaurants, hotels, various entertainment services, etc. in these commercial chains is slow, in other words, he has not received a good commercial return on his initial investment. The second is Chelsea's huge debt problem, with interest rates as high as 9% alone. The third is the huge cost of running the team, the player's annual salary alone adds up to more than 50 million pounds, he can't cope with the rapidly growing 23 million pounds bill, although he has 160 million pounds of assets, unfortunately, he is a speculative businessman, really put all his family assets into football as a pastime, he does not have the courage.

He tried selling the club or financing to dilute the stake, and so on.

It's like someone has valued Chelsea, which is worth less than £20 million, so how can Bates let it go?

At the start of June, Chelsea faced a desperate situation similar to Leeds United.

Barcelona are taking advantage of the rush to take Hasselbaink for just £6 million, Gudjohnsen's agent is agitating the player to ask for a pay rise, and Arsenal are eyeing a possible amount of money in Galla's contract clause

In the desperate situation of Chelsea, Bates finally came up with a plan, that is, "asset securitization", in the ideal plan, 120 million pounds can be raised, and after paying off nearly 100 million pounds of debt, more than 20 million pounds of cash can be placed in the bank, in exchange for Chelsea's season ticket for the next 25 years as a guarantee.

Bates was so confident that he turned down Barcelona's ridiculous offer, rejected Gudjohnsen's demand for a raise, and warned Arsenal's Dane to get out of the way!

Plans can't keep up with the rapid pace of change.

The plan that Bates came up with was not of interest to investors, because Leeds United's bloody case was in the past, and no one wanted to be buried in the fire with Chelsea, just like Leeds United's current debt problem, investors really lost their money, basically lent Leeds United 10 pounds, and it may be less than 3 pounds to be recovered.

There are still people who come to send warmth to Bates, and there are investment institutions willing to inject capital into Chelsea to ease Chelsea's financial pressure and tide over the difficulties.

However, the condition was that Bates should "retire" and the investment institution would send another management team to run the huge Chelsea Village, which Bates angrily refused, and there was a hardline attitude that he would rather die with Chelsea than step down.

However, with Chelsea's geographical location and "social status" in London, after all, many of Chelsea's fans are middle- and upper-class customers, maybe they are not as wild as civilians watching football, and they may take supermodels to sit quietly in the stands for 90 minutes, but football, after all, is the most mainstream entertainment in this country, and London, there is only one in the world, West London, is a paradise for nobles, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, just in West London, even if it has no glorious past, but it is such a "social status", It has no shortage of careerists eyeing it.

Some people want to take the opportunity to buy Chelsea at a low price, and some people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, and the more Chelsea comes to the last moment of life and death, Bates has gathered more and more "saviors" around him, because people who want to take over Chelsea, whether it is an individual or a consortium, do not want to receive a mess that has been rebuilt after bankruptcy.

The current Chelsea, to put it bluntly, has one word: money.

For the wealthy, this is not a problem.

London real estate boss Paul Taylor, a consortium represented by London lawyer Mel Goldberg, Desmond, boss of the Celtics in the Soviet Super League, a Venezuelan consortium, the Rotch Group

Bates's options are increasing, but there is less and less time left for him, and Chelsea need money. (To be continued......)
