Aldridge's expression in front of the TV didn't change even when he was leading 3-0 in the first half, but when Villa scored his first competitive goal, Aldridge jumped up and waved his fist in the room in celebration, as if he were on the sidelines of the pitch.

As one of the first batch of star seedlings introduced by the club, Villa is the prince of the lions, if it weren't for his younger age than Ronaldinho, maybe the outside world could see more of Aldridge's expectations of Villa, which has nothing to do with ability and talent, but a deep master-apprentice relationship.

Aldridge sat down again after the celebration, snatched the fruit from the stunned Andrew, shoved it into his mouth, and suddenly softened his gaze at the TV, and the camera locked on the focus: Villa, Aldridge seemed to see the young boy who walked out of the club community with him to the training base.

At Wembley, several players who had been substituted at half-time stood up and walked to the sidelines to applaud Villa's goal.

Nedved exchanged something with Larsson smiling, nodding frequently.

They were able to witness another young player from the club start to shine and were genuinely happy for what they saw as "little guys".

Once upon a time, the "little guys" secretly watched them with envious eyes, sneaked into the first-team training ground to watch them train in their spare time, and occasionally asked for autographs and group photos in private.

Now, they play together and become team-mates, and the club's long-standing youth policy has made it a very delicate relationship between players of all ages, forming an emotional hub, like Nedved. Larson. Southgate. It is only natural that you will take on the responsibility of being an example and take the initiative to guide and help young players grow.

Beckham scored from a set-piece in the final stages of the game to help United pull one back, but time was running out before Millwall beat United 4-2 at Wembley to lift the Charity Shield again. It's a great start to the new season for the club.

Two days later, the British football circle and the media in the entertainment industry all focused on a hospital in Liverpool.

Aldrich stood outside the delivery room with his arms folded around his chest and said nothing, surrounded by a crowd of people, his family, Melanie's family, some praying, some whispering.

After a while, a person walked from outside, dressed in a completely different way from the formally dressed characters present. Aldrich turned his head and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

It was none other than his player. Ronaldinho.

He's dressed in hip-hop and wears a peaked cap on his head, maybe he feels trendy himself, Aldrich just thinks it's not mainstream.

Xiao Luo is usually very arrogant, but today he saw so many people present, all the suits and leather shoes looked like big people, and his speech and demeanor were a little more casual.

"Coach Klinsmann gave me a holiday, I didn't have anything to do, I heard that the son's son was born today, I will come and see, congratulations in advance."

Xiao Luo said in a low voice.

Aldrich sighed lightly, but still smiled: "Thank you." But giving you a holiday is to give you a break, not to make you run around. ”

"Hey, it's only been two hours back and forth by plane, and I'm just sitting here quietly, waiting, watching, when I'm air."

Xiao Luo really sat down on the chair.

The pre-season preparation of Xiao Luo is the most special person, the training is arranged separately, it is relatively easy, and today also gave him an extra day off.

The reason is that he didn't have much rest this summer, as soon as the end of last season, he just returned to Brazil with the national team to participate in the Copa America, although he couldn't steal the limelight of Ronaldo and Rivaldo, but the 3R combination was also the first meeting, and he helped Brazil win the Copa America as he wished, and then, Ronaldo participated in the Confederations Cup.

In this year's Confederations Cup, the traditional strong teams in Europe are boycotting, the new World Cup champion France team simply did not participate, and the other participating teams also sent 2 or 3 teams, Xiao Luo went with the team as a leader, and performed well, shined, not only won the best scorer and best player two awards, but also subverted the original history, helping Brazil reverse the host to win the Confederations Cup.

Throughout the summer, major European giants were rumored to have scandals with Ronaldo, and among the offers received by Millwall, Real Madrid, the highest bidder, made a heavyweight offer of 30 million pounds.

If Millwall are willing to sell Ronaldo and bargain with Real Madrid, it is estimated that it will be no problem to raise it by another 5 million pounds, and this transfer price will inevitably break the world transfer record of 50 million US dollars equivalent to 34 million pounds set by Vieri's transfer to Inter Milan.

However, Aldridge resolutely rejected all offers for Ronaldo, and Ronaldo did not care about the transfer at all, even if Millwall did not offer him a new contract and a salary increase during the same period.

Aldridge feared that Rowe would feel lonely in this strange situation, so he sat down next to him and casually asked him about his summer schedule.

After talking about the most, Xiao Luo suddenly turned his head and asked seriously: "Boss, you're going to be a father, what are your moods now?" ”

Aldrich subconsciously glanced at the delivery room, and then said softly: "Suppressed joy, uncontrollable apprehension, uncontrollable nervousness, and a little bit of a feeling that seems to be moved but not it." ”

"Well, it's complicated."

"You'll be able to experience it in the future."

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more.

It wasn't until the evening that Melanie gave birth to twin babies.

There was a joyous atmosphere in the hospital, and Aldridge's arms trembled with excitement as he held his two wrinkled babies in his arms

"Uh, nurse, who is the elder brother? Who is the younger brother? ”

Aldrich suddenly asked, and everyone looked at the smiling little nurse with great curiosity.

"Mr. Hall, you are holding your brother in your left hand and your brother in your right hand."

Arthur approached Aldrich, looked down at the baby Aldrich was holding in his left hand with a smile, tapped his head lightly with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Hmm." Then you're Bert. ”

He looked at his brother again. said, "Then you are Earl." ”

Aldrich handed the baby over to the nurse. It should be taken for an Apuka physical examination first.

He did not accompany his two sons with the nurse, but stayed with Melanie.

Xiao Luo followed the nurse curiously, looking intently at the two little ones who didn't look good at all.

Newborn babies are not born pretty, and if that is the case, parents should worry about whether they will become ugly when they grow up

When Melanie regained her spirits, she couldn't wait to see the two little ones, and the twin babies who had been fine after the medical check-up were brought back and put under her arms to sleep peacefully.

Aldrich sat quietly at the head of the bed. Tilting his head and staring at his two sons, a thousand words were like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say anything at the end.

Andrew suddenly walked in, beckoned to Aldrich, and motioned for him to come out and speak, but Aldrich shook his head and smiled: "What do you say directly." ”

Andrew rolled his eyes and said, "There are a lot of media outlets calling me who want to spend a lot of money on scoops, and these two little guys can make money from birth." ”

Aldrich smiled and turned to look at Melanie. When asked what she meant, Melanie said weakly, "Don't let them shoot." They will also be followed every day, so it is better to be generous and let them get the news, so that the outside world will soon lose interest. ”

Aldrich thought about it, too, in the UK, it is easy to prevent thieves, and it is almost impossible to prevent paparazzi.

"Then let them come, shoot casually, no charge, I don't want to use my son to earn money."

"Won't you listen to the offer?"

Andrew's expression was a little helpless.

"No, not interested."

"Well, well."

Andrew took the phone and walked out of the house.

The next day, the biggest news in Britain came out.

"Hall II is coming!"

"Heroic glory of the supreme leader! Bert & Earl, the leader of the next generation of lions? ”

Fleet Street, which is a good thing, really likes to make a big fuss.

deliberately deciphered the meaning behind Aldrich's names for his two sons.

Bert, Heroes & Glory, Earl, Noble Leader.

The combination of the two became the headline of the Daily Star.

The Times was more subtle, publishing a smiling photo of Aldridge holding a son in his left and right hands, and then turning to old news below to publish a photo of him holding a trophy in his former hand for comparison.

As one of the most watched public figures in the UK, people can see Aldridge's vigor and vigor when he holds the trophy, and his flamboyance and passion are vividly reflected, and the photo of him holding his two sons can clearly see at a glance that he is in happiness, his expression is soft and warm, as if he has suddenly transformed from a hairy boy to a mature man.

On the last day of Liverpool's last day, Aldridge stayed home all day, tending to her two babies almost without leaving Melanie, staring at them without blinking even when they were asleep.

When night fell, Aldridge packed his bags and was heading back to London, where he had to go back three days after the Premier League opener.

For more than two months, Aldridge and Melanie have spent what may be the calmest and most peaceful days since they met, but also the calmest and most comfortable time for their minds.

But before this separation, Melanie fell into a long silence.

She helped Aldrich sort out his suit, pack his suitcase, and when Aldrich went downstairs after kissing his two sons from upstairs, and put on leather shoes by the door, Melanie finally couldn't restrain her emotions and rushed to his back to hug him.

"Aldrich, let's just keep going, can't we?"

Aldrich didn't turn around, lowered his head and sighed: "The past two months have been the life I have been pursuing, I have been with you, like a real family, but now, that kind of time will not happen again, you have your career, I also have mine." ”

"Can't you accommodate me once? Just this once! ”

"But how long will it be this time? How long will I wait for you? ”

"Ten years, no, five years, I don't want to give up, I really don't want to give up!"

"I knew it, so I gave up. I'm sorry, forgive me for my selfishness, my time, and my unwillingness to wait for others. ”

Melanie burst into tears, her cheek pressed against Aldrich's back, and she kept asking what she was doing.

Maybe from her standpoint, a love affair with Aldrich that never breaks up will be satisfying, but Aldrich doesn't want to go on like this.

Aldrich gently held one of her hands and said softly: "My name is Aldridge-Hall, I am a club head coach, five years ago, I traveled all over Europe to search for football talents, I took out more than 300% sincerity to invite others, almost in the face of the world with a pleading and humble attitude, in the past five years, some people have left, some people have come, some people have betrayed, some people have persevered, I am just a mortal, I can't resist fame and fortune, I can't win vanity, to this day, I don't need to look at other people's eyes, I don't have to pin my success on others, the sky is going to rain and my mother wants to get married, I don't need to compromise and seek perfection, and I don't want to be difficult, if you want to go, you can stay, rather than be sad for those who go, I would rather show more sincerity and kindness to those who are loyal to them, the world will not change for me, but I just want to shake the world in a simple way, from now on, the center of my world must be me, this is selfish, but also arrogant, but I just want to continue to be crazy, maybe, I just want to prove that those who leave me will regret it, My world will not collapse because of the lack of anyone, I, Aldrich Hall, want to be both chic and domineering, Melanie, I will let my career continue to be brilliant, and I and you, can have happiness together, the difference is that the person who will make the sacrifice is not me, I'm sorry. ”

Aldrich let go of her hand, grabbed her luggage and opened the door to leave. (To be continued......)
