243 Xiao Luo Storm
The friendly agreement between Ajax and the bitter Ajax has just been negotiated, although it is verbal, but at least there is a protocol for the settlement of the Van der Meyde incident.
The next morning, Aldrich packed up and prepared to go to work at the club, and as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a scene of commotion.
A group of reporters blocked his door, bombarding him with questions.
"Mr. Hall, is there a violation of the rules for Ronaldinho to join Millwall?"
'There are questions about his eligibility to play professionally in England, what is Millwall's response to that?'
"The FA doesn't have a record of Ronaldinho's move from Brazil to Millwall, so does he qualify for the tournament?"
Aldrich was stunned at first, but by the time the reporters were over, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
Silently retreated to the door, slamming the door shut.
At the same time, the phone rang at home.
Aldrich frowned and went to answer the phone, and as soon as he picked up the microphone, he heard Xiao Luo shouting on the other side of the phone: "Boss, my house is surrounded by reporters!" What should I do? ”
"Whatever someone asks you, don't answer!"
"Oh oh oh, so I'm still going to train today?"
"Of course, don't be lazy."
"Hehehe, you saw through it?"
Aldrich should be glad at this time, fortunately Xiao Luo's family returned to Brazil, and even his sister returned to her hometown with her parents because she was not used to living here and could not fit in.
His family is sure that Ronaldo will have a good future here, after all, he has his first professional contract in his life. The weekly salary is £5,000. Every month, Xiao Luo only needs to give half of his salary to his family. He can let his family live a carefree life in Brazil, and his brother is still playing football in Brazil.
If his family is still here, there will be people with big mouths if they don't make trouble.
Aldridge picked up the phone and called the club staff, intending to find out what was going on, which annoyed him a little.
There was a knock at the door.
Aldrich looked through the cat's eye at the visitor, then opened the door.
Wearing a women's shirt and a narrow skirt, her black hair was curled up and looked elegant and generous, and after the door closed, Aldrich also put down the phone.
She got straight to the point: "There's a newspaper on Fleet Street that has published an article. Questioning Ronaldinho's qualifications as an English professional footballer, it has been a football news off-season recently, and the article was quickly followed up by other big newspapers and tabloids, and it became popular all at once. ”
Aldridge sat down and crossed Erlang's legs to think about countermeasures, while Evan also sat down beside him, leaning sideways and asking suspiciously, "Is he really an illegal transfer?" To be honest, if it weren't for him representing Brazil at the World Junior Championships in the summer, we would have thought he was an English player. ”
Although Ronaldo has a non-mainstream British name and the color of his skin, Britain is a country with many immigrants. This is especially true of London, an international metropolis that people from all over the world flock to. It is simply a foothold for immigrants to land on the beach.
Many of Aldrich's friends, such as Saul and Fred, are also black, but they are both second-generation immigrants who identify themselves as authentically British, with the former having a European name and the latter being a Latin American name.
Ronaldo appeared in Millwall's youth team before the age of 16 and did not officially enter the brochure of Millwall's official first-team guide, which will annotate a lot of information outside of the player, including player name, nationality, past performances and so on.
Basically, the fans of the Crazy Lions think that Xiao Luo is English, but they didn't expect Xiao Luo to shine at the World Junior Championships in the summer and have a certain fame, and the fans suddenly realized: he turned out to be Brazilian, no wonder he has such beautiful footwork.
The fans knew the Tao when they knew it, and they had no other ideas.
But some of the good deeds are different.
Brazilian?
Can Brazilians play in England casually?
Who is the labor certification system for?
How did Rowe get to Millwall?
This series of questions lingers in my mind and evolves into conspiracy theories.
For example, the FA opened the back door to ignore the labor certification system, and Millwall's introduction of Ronaldo was illegal.
Yiwen came to ask Aldrich, naturally wanting to know the truth of the road.
"Transfers? Where there are transfers. Ronaldinho didn't even have a contract before he came to England, he didn't belong to any Brazilian club at all, and he needed a transfer? ”
Aldridge said, and Evan then asked, "That's the direct contract?" But he doesn't have an EU passport. ”
Aldridge shook his head and told Evan what had happened, and then he figured out what to do.
These reporters who eat salty turnips and don't worry about what they do.
What Aldridge didn't know was that there was a driving force behind this matter, and it was Millwall's sworn enemy Chelsea.
Bates was delighted by Ronaldo's stunning appearance in the FA Cup final, and in the summer he not only bought the club to bolster his strength, but also wanted to seduce some of Millwall's good players.
Poaching rival players is the most morale-boosting thing, especially on the underdog side of the competition.
But none of Millwall's players are interested in Chelsea, not even Ronaldo.
Although Millwall has won the Premier League, the team is still on the rise, everyone is gearing up to do a big job, go to Chelsea to hang!
Either way, they have left their mark on the history of Millwall FC, and with a little more and a bit of solidarity, they could become legends, but what about Chelsea? Let's take a championship and see.
Because of this, after Bates realized that Ronaldo's nationality was Brazilian, he immediately arranged for someone to play on the topic, he is a shrewd person, this kind of thing of a bird, Chelsea will not stand up on its own, as long as the newspaper is picked up through an intermediary, with the habit of the British paparazzi to follow the trend, the spark can form a prairie fire in an instant.
This kind of disgusting thing, Bates can really do it, just like he sent a private detective to investigate Dane. Even if you can't make a name. I make you uncomfortable too.
Aldrich and Evan left the apartment. The reporters gathered outside, he opened the garage door, threw the car keys to Evan, and when the other party went to drive, he turned to face the reporters.
Everyone knew that the young marshal was about to speak, and they all immediately fell silent.
Aldridge said calmly: "Ronaldinho's qualification is on record with the FA, if he is not eligible to play for Millwall or play in England, you should question the FA. Anyway, Ronaldinho will still play for Millwall because we have submitted the squad and the FA has approved our submission, so please stop harassing me and my players with such boring things. ”
As he finished speaking, Evan drove to the side of the road, Aldrich pulled out the passenger seat and sat in, and the car disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.
The reporters looked at each other with different expressions.
Some people are really lost.
They're lace-running journalists. In fact, they don't care what Ronaldinho is about, they just want to see what celebrities look like.
Aldrich had said the wrong thing or had become angry. That kind of photos and news definitely drove newspaper sales more than Ronaldinho's topic.
But who makes it the off-season for football news, except for some news about the transfer market, and there are no games, friendly news, and newspapers?
Everyone went to make trouble with the FA again.
This frightened the FA, professional football as an independent industry, the FA belongs to the private sector, and almost unregulated, which makes this institution powerful, but at the same time the most afraid of making the outside world dissatisfied with the incident, once the pressure of public opinion is too great, the government department wants to intervene in the FA affairs, which is something that everyone in the FA does not want to see.
Therefore, for a whole day, the FA investigated the registration information about Ronaldinho, and finally found that there were no problems.
In the evening, the FA spokesman came out and announced in righteous words: Ronaldinho has British nationality, he plays for English clubs is fully in line with the FA regulations, and the FA does not have Ronaldinho's transfer record, because he has not transferred, he joined Millwall with a clean slate.
Aldridge shifted his focus to the FA, which also made a quick statement in order to show integrity, and also shifted the focus.
They showed Ronaldinho's registration documents, including his British passport.
Journalists, if you want to make a fuss, you go make a fuss.
If you continue to question, then go to the immigration office or the British passport office!
Anyway, the FA didn't want to verify whether Ronaldinho's nationality qualifications were true or false.
The FA is like a lonely fortress in which powerful and powerful FA bigwigs hide their heads, avoiding friction with outside government departments and resisting outsiders trying to break their fortress and enter their territory.
Even if a lot of black gold incidents involving football have become an opportunity for government departments to intervene in the management of the FA, but in the end they are all gone, because the truth will bury professional football, and the image of English football will be a hundred times worse than the blow caused by the tragedy of football hooligans, which is a tacit thing for the real power in professional football in various countries, no government really dares to use a knife on football, even during the administration of Margaret Thatcher, there are two versions of the Taylor report, and the real version is permanently sealed, Or simply destroyed.
Because of this, the FA played hand tai chi, and they put on an impartial attitude, and finally let the outside world focus on the national government departments.
The reporters worked tirelessly to consult with the immigration and passport offices.
In addition to the fact that the details could not be disclosed, the answer given by the government was also simple and straightforward: Ronaldinho has British citizenship.
The reporters immediately wilted when they got this answer.
The anger in his heart was terrifying: Which turtle grandson provoked this incident from Malegobi? Work for nothing like a clown!
Aldrich calmed down when he sat on the sofa in the early morning and figured out how to deal with this matter, if it wasn't for the fact that he went to work in the morning and opened the door by the reporters to make some confusion, how could he forget his original intention of choosing to handle investment immigration for Xiao Luo's family.
Whether it is the FA, UEFA, or FIFA, it is all football circles, if a player moves from one club to another, the smallest is managed by the national football association, and the largest is covered by FIFA.
But a person, a family going from one country to another, this is beyond the control of the football circle, and they will be very shy about dealing with government departments.
Aldridge initially spent more than two million pounds on Ronaldo, but he didn't want to have any worries.
Xiao Luo's family emigrated, who cares? FA? UEFA FIFA? Even if you want to manage it, do you dare to argue with the British government and the EU?
If people don't come to trouble you, you will burn high incense.
As for who came up with the two million pounds that Xiao Luo's family invested in immigrants to buy British bonds, not to mention that the FA does not dare to question it, even if someone wants to use the topic to play, the British government will not agree, Blair took office, it is to vigorously revitalize the economy, and there will be a stable investment of two million pounds for a family of immigrants, and he can't wait to have more investment immigrants, which is conducive to the strong recovery of the pound in the international arena.
Ronaldo first had British citizenship and then joined Millwall, and there were no problems with the procedure at all.
There are also no transfers between clubs, and Aldridge has plenty of confidence on this issue.
When the dust settled, Aldridge led the team to Amsterdam for the third warm-up match of the pre-season against Ajax. (To be continued......)
