Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

Early in the morning, Aldrich woke up from his sleep and was woken up by a phone call.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and vaguely saw Evan tiptoeing to the side of the bed, and was reaching for his mobile phone on the bedside table, seeing him wake up, Evan sighed lightly and said, "I don't know who Lu Dao is, I called early in the morning, you should sleep a little longer." ”

"What time is it?"

"Five minutes to eight o'clock."

"It's so late? Give me the phone. ”

Aldridge rolled over, lay on his back on the bed, rubbing his face with his hands, still a little sleepy, but he didn't want to sleep anymore, today is Sunday, and he has to lead the team to face Arsenal at home in the afternoon.

He had woken up more than an hour later than usual.

I don't know what to do without the national team, the work of this club and the national team at the same time is really tiring, rare, Aldrich is like an office worker, looking forward to when there will be a holiday?

I'm sorry, but there is no winter break in the Premier League, so I'll have to rest until next summer.

Evan handed him his phone and said, "Breakfast is ready, I'll take Earl to the hospital in the morning to check it up, he seems to be a little unwell just now, if there's no problem, I'll take them to the court in the afternoon to cheer you on." ”

The phone was still ringing, and Aldrich hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Earl?" ”

"I saw him coughing just now, now it's better, you can lie down for a while, don't worry, I'll go out and take him to the hospital now, but I'll take Bert to your parents' house first."

Aldrich grabbed his hair and waited for Evan to leave the bedroom. He turned his head to look at his phone. It's already the second time it's sounding.

It was Andrew calling.

Very strange time. At this time, Andrew was still sleeping.

"Before eight o'clock, you actually got up? Why are you calling me? ”

"Eight o'clock? Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm not in London, it's noon on my side. ”

“WTF！ Where did you go? ”

"Which city in the world has the most beautiful women?"

"You just naturalize Ukraine and settle there."

"Huh. I still have a lunch date, so I'll call you and get down to business, and I have a message to tell you, what's the name of that Brazilian player, 18 years old? Wait I'll check, oh, Ricardo Isoksen dos Santos Reiter, Millwall don't have to pay attention, and you don't have to take it to heart. ”

Aldrich was dazed. blurted out, "Who the are you talking about?" ”

The long list of names of Brazilian players is worth writing down. Aldridge really can't remember which player named Ricciardo XXXXX Millwall followed.

"Eh,, didn't you really wake up? It's St. Paul's, Millwall also made a secret offer in the summer, at first 5 million pounds, people don't sell, you raised the offer one after another, and when it came to 8 million pounds, the St Paulo club agreed, but the player himself refused to negotiate, it's only been a few months, you forget? Or is Millwall completely uninterested in bringing him in if they don't succeed in their summer purchases? Then you told me earlier, so that I would have sent someone over there to report the player's information on a regular basis, wasting human resources. ”

Andrew's complaint made Aldridge feel good all at once.

He was sober.

Who is Ricardo XXX, he also realized.

Son of God!

Kaka!

He sat up from the bed and was about to speak, but Andrew hung up the phone.

Aldridge immediately called the other man again.

"What else?"

"That's all there was to it!"

"You don't even remember the players, what else do you want to say?"

"Don't talk about that, let's get to the point, you just said that Millwall doesn't need to pay attention, what do you mean? Has a European giant locked him down? It can't be AC Milan, right? No, he didn't play an official game last season, and he didn't play until the summer of this season, could it be that he played in the closing stage of the Brazilian league in the past two months? ”

"Out of the game? If you think too much, I'm afraid he won't have a chance to make his professional debut in his life. ”

"Huh? What you said is so scary, what's wrong with him? ”

"He had an accident and fell into the water and injured his spine, spine, you know? What is the spine? How important is it to know the Tao? ”

"I'm grass! So lucky today? ”

"Are you stupid?"

"Come back, do me a favor, go to Brazil in person, wait, wait, let me think about how to handle his transfer."

"Transfers? Who buys? ”

"Millwall buys."

"You're really stupid, buy a player with a spinal injury, whether he can walk like a normal person may be a question, the most serious may be paralysis, you buy him? Do you want Millwall to have a player die on the pitch? ”

Aldrich was silent for a moment and then said into the phone: "I can't get away, you go to São Paulo on my behalf, I will let Adam go too, this is to show the sincerity of the club, on the other hand, I will prepare the best chiropractic doctor for him in London, and when you arrive in São Paulo, give me a hello first, before that, the club official will communicate with the São Paulo club first." ”

"Do you think you're panicking about how much money you burn?"

"I have my own ideas, anyway, you help me do this, and I'll give you a Ferrari when I come back."

"Well, since you don't take the money as money, then I can only laugh at it."

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge immediately called Adam and asked him to take the club's negotiation team and medical representatives to Sao Paulo, briefly explaining the situation, and at the same time asking the club to offer Sao Paulo another offer of 5 million pounds, the same amount as the first offer in the summer.

The second call, he made to the medical department, there was no need to go into detail, the instructions were simple and clear.

"Find me the best chiropractor in the world!"

One morning when he woke up to the feeling that it wasn't too good, Aldrich reaped an unexpected surprise.

He got up to shower, had breakfast and went to the club. There are competitions in the afternoon. The players will come to the club a little later today. Then everyone eats together at the club at noon and takes a short break for the afternoon league.

After he drove to the club, he was informed by club staff that Sao Paulo had immediately replied with an offer of £6 million.

Aldrich laughed when he heard the news.

He offered £5 million, which to outsiders looked like a second attempt.

What about São Paulo?

If you say yes directly, it will seem abnormal.

But because Kaka was injured unexpectedly, they couldn't get back too high to scare Millwall.

£6 million is £2 million less than the £8 million negotiated in the summer, which is still a relatively large gap in this era. Especially for clubs that have always been cheap in Brazil.

But the situation is different.

In the summer, Millwall bought people with moderation and rationality, and now, the transfer window is closed, and it is impossible for the clubs to complete the deal immediately, and Sao Paulo wants to cut through the mess quickly, finalize the deal first, and then hide Kaka's injury, and wait two months for the winter transfer window to open. As long as Kaka can recover more or less, he will be sent to the United Kingdom. Money and goods are clear, uh, people and money are clear.

Sao Paulo's reply stated that the deal was £6 million, but £2 million must be paid immediately, with the remaining £4 million paid when the winter transfer window opens.

In fact, Millwall paid £2 million first to sign a contract with the Sao Paulo club.

Otherwise, everyone has room to regret it, and São Paulo can stop selling in January, or raise the asking price.

Aldridge was glad that the other party had added such a clause, which was for fear that Millwall would regret it!

I'm sorry, I'm still afraid that you will regret it!

He immediately told Adam to go to Brazil to draw up a contract directly with the Sao Paulo club, and as soon as the player nodded, the club would pay £2 million to make the contract valid.

After lunch at the club, Aldrich was typing on his keyboard in his office, writing a letter to Kaka.

Andrew and Adam, with the former representing him and the latter representing Millwall, but Aldridge wanted to show his sincerity directly in his personal capacity.

"When you were 18 years old, Millwall's scouts in South America were watching you, I watched your tapes, studied your technical characteristics, analysed your talents, and the results showed that you were a surprise to me, Millwall tried to sign you, we missed an opportunity to work together, and now, I know that you are injured and in a difficult phase, but I believe that your tenacity will will allow you to overcome the difficulties and continue your football dream, come to Millwall, There are the best doctors to ensure your health, there is the best coaching team to nurture your growth, come to the Lion King Stadium, let the Lions fans appreciate your skills, cheer for you, cheer for you, I am a tireless pursuit of victory, and at the same time, I also want the players I coach to be able to proudly say when they retire: I have won five, six, seven, or even more Premier League titles, and lifted the Champions Cup, the highest European glory, once, twice, or more. Kaka, I'm looking forward to seeing you at the top level in Europe, Millwall's shirt is ready for you.

May you get well soon. ”

Aldridge sent the letter to Andrew's mailbox, then sent him a text message asking him to print it out when he arrived in São Paulo and give it to him in person when he visited Kaka.

After doing all this work, Aldrich took a nap on the couch in the office, waited until the assistant teacher Jenson came and knocked on the door to wake him up, wash his face, get dressed, and call Evan to ask about Earl's condition.

Earl just had a small cold, went to the hospital in the morning for injections and medicine, was tired for a while and slept for a few hours, and woke up alive, Evan took him to Arthur and they were driving to the Lion King Stadium.

Aldridge relieved himself and went to the stadium with the team to prepare for the game.

The London derby, the battle for the title group.

The FA's schedule is a fucking fixture.

FIFA matchday has just ended, and playing such a fierce and important game at this time will undoubtedly reduce the quality of the game.

Millwall and Arsenal are both big internationals.

The fans were as enthusiastic as ever.

Aldridge is at the helm of the Three Lions as a Millwall man, which has made Lions fans more arrogant than ever.

Not only do we dominate England's top game, but our Lions boss also dominates the fate of the England national team.

Can it be more awesome?

When Aldridge walked into the Lion King Stadium to greet Arsene Wenger before the game, the professor complained with a sad face: "You have such a good relationship with the FA, why don't you talk to them?" Do you think that at this time we are playing against each other, Millwall will definitely have the advantage? ”

"Dominance? What's the advantage? I don't want to play such an important game right after the FIFA match day. However, the FA will certainly not accept my suggestion in order to avoid suspicion. ”

When Wenger heard this, he suddenly realized.

He had previously slammed the FA's schedule and tried to apply for a schedule adjustment, but the FA refused, putting on a selfless and non-discriminatory attitude.

Originally, in order to ensure the quality of the Premier League's games, it is not impossible to adjust the schedule, strong dialogue, everyone wants the game to be exciting, a group of stars with the FIFA virus are playing on the field, this is not a gimmick to waste the big game?

But because Aldridge became the coach of the England national team, Millwall's game could not be adjusted, and it must not be, otherwise, it would be the FA to open the back door.

This move has caused a lot of non-parliament, especially in the same round, just a day ago, Manchester United played Leeds United at home, and it was also a strong dialogue, last season's runner-up and last season's fourth, and it is also a mortal enemy!

No one complained, not to mention that Arsenal and Millwall had an extra day off. (To be continued......)
