Thanks to the "thief is dead", "free and easy", "eli", and "17953018" for the tip! ——

Andrew took the initiative to come to the door, Aldrich at first felt that he had saved him the effort of calling, but after Andrew left, he was immersed in the thinking of dealing with Henry's affairs, and only when his mind was stable did he realize that he had not done what he wanted to do!

Reinforcements.

After the lunch break, Aldridge called Andrew's company and asked for a list of all England Under-18 players.

Andrew's network of contacts at the FA has now made it easy to access a list of players registered with the FA.

As a non-governmental organization, the president of the English Football Association is in charge of football affairs in England, even if it is a non-professional league, they also have jurisdiction, but there is no need to manage it so carefully, the specific affairs are handled by the local league committee, but the basic player registration information, of course, will be filed at the FA headquarters.

This kind of player registration information is not mysterious, but it is very large, which can make Andrew's job a lot easier, at least the database is updated every year in England, which can do more with less, save time and improve efficiency.

Adam is a bit anxious right now, he answered reporters' questions in the morning, mentioned Beckham and Owen by name, and as a result, there are now rumors in England that Millwall may bring in these two players!

Manchester United officials have outright denied Millwall's interest in Beckham, while also emphasising Beckham's loyalty to the Reds.

Liverpool's side are in a bit of a difficult situation, after many years of absence from the title. Traditional giants can't even participate in the championship game. It's a bit of a drain on the patience of the stars.

There's a rumor coming from London. In less than an hour, a reporter from Liverpool blocked outside Anfield at noon to interview Owen, but Owen avoided reporters' questions and drove away quickly.

His remarks evoked reverie.

If you want to stay, just say it out loud!

What does it mean to avoid interviews?

What has been going on around Millwall this summer has been hilarious.

After Millwall's press conference, it was clear to the outside world that Henry's affair was nearing the end of the season, unless Henry did not return to the team for pre-season preparations following the example of his team-mate Nicolas Anelka.

And now. Millwall was caught up in rumors of digging into other people's corners.

Millwall are widely regarded as the strongest team in England.

Beckham and Owen, one is the most famous star in England now, and the other is the most powerful striker in England right now, is it hard to imagine that they will move to Millwall?

In the past, when news like this came out, most people laughed at it.

But now, the public is watching and watching a good show. At least it happened, and people wouldn't be surprised.

Fleet Street thought Millwall was too difficult to dig up Beckham. To rob Ferguson's "own son" is like to rob Aldrich's "own brother" Ronaldinho, there is little hope.

On the contrary, it is Owen, who has great hope!

Aldrich received one call after another in the afternoon.

He directly refused to answer the calls of those acquaintances on Fleet Street.

However, a call from the coach of the French national team, he can't refuse to answer it!

Roger Lemaire didn't deal with Aldridge much, but it was a long time span.

It's been about three years since '97 and today.

At that time, Le Maire was Jacquet's assistant, and Aldridge would inevitably deal with Jacquet and Le Maire when he recommended Makelle and Trezeguet to France.

After 98 years, Le Maire took over Jacques's coach, and the two did not communicate much, but before the international competition, Le Maire would still ask Aldridge about the status of the French international, and sometimes he could be seen in the stands of Millwall's games, especially when Millwall played against Arsenal!

'Aldridge, I'm going to try to convince Thierry to stay at Millwall and focus on playing, I've always thought he was the right choice for Millwall, as a manager we all have to manage the players and sometimes the players get into a bit of a mess and we do our best to help the players, don't we? I believe in Thierry's professionalism and as long as he stays, he will definitely fight hard for Millwall. ”

"Roger, don't worry, Millwall has no problem with Thierry, when he comes back, he will still be my main striker, I agree with you, staying at Millwall is the right choice for him."

"Really? It's good, Xie Luxie, the young man sometimes doesn't think about things, he should focus on how to play better for the club, and I believe that all these troubles will soon pass. ”

"Well, see you soon."

Lemaire has nothing to say to the players, and last year he stood up and took the initiative to mediate the conflict between Anelka and Arsenal, although it ultimately failed, but he still criticized Anelka in public, and also issued some "suggestions" after the warning.

As soon as he hung up the phone of the French national team coach, another French coach called him, Houllier.

The Liverpool boss asked Aldridge on the phone in a casual tone: Is Millwall really interested in Owen?

Hearing Houllier's question, Aldrich suddenly felt that the other party's tone was a little "pitiful".

If Millwall poached Owen, Liverpool would probably not be able to resist, the old giants would not say no to the high transfer fee, and the players themselves may not be able to refuse the temptation to join Millwall.

Houllier actually can't fight anything, Aldridge said yes, he will keep Owen, if he can't keep it, then negotiate the price, Liverpool itself is not rich, and the investment over the years has not even been able to play in the Champions League, and the financial situation is very unoptimistic.

Aldridge was not interested in Owen, putting Houllier at ease.

Millwall could buy Owen, but so what? That might be a waste of Owen.

Asked the staff for another document at the club, Aldrich took it back to the office and looked at it slowly.

The information in his hand is the Millwall Charity Cup U15 information, which contains information about the U15 teams from many cities across the country. All he needs to look at is the player registration profile.

Knock knock

"Please come in."

Aldrich looked up. Najib pushed the door open.

Aldrich smiled and asked, "Something?" ”

Najib sat down. Nodding his head, he said, "Well, there's a player, I'm not sure." ”

"Hehe, who?"

"Reyes, are you paying attention to him?"

Aldrich is smiling, little motorcycle?

"He's fine."

Reyes, who arrived here at the age of 16 last year, has shown a staggering and flashy talent, and if he were an English player, the English media would not have hailed Joe Cole as the next supernova.

Najib's face was tangled. "He's also a problem child. ”

Child?

Well, probably in their eyes, those who are not on the first team belong to "children".

Aldridge restrained his smile and when talking about the specific situation of the player, this is definitely not the time to joke, it must be serious and rigorous.

"What's going on?"

"He's in a similar situation to Lamour, he's afraid of confrontation. But Ramour grew up in this environment, and he was afraid because of psychological shadows. Reyes, on the other hand, resisted physical confrontation himself. He prefers to use footwork and technique to show himself. ”

Aldrich was not surprised.

In the original history, Reyes was scolded by fans at Arsenal for being incomplete: soft eggs!

In England, you can survive without skill, without speed, without height, without weight, and with a thin body, but if you don't have the determination and willpower to fight, then you can't survive here, and it doesn't matter if the club tolerates you or not, the fans in the stands will force you to leave.

He brought Reyes here, and he didn't expect Reyes to become a member of Millwall, he could use it if he could, if he couldn't, he could still make money by selling it, so why not?

But at the very least, he had an idea that made Reyes dare to fight and become in line with the Premier League style.

The two are not in conflict.

Players who combine physical confrontation with technical talent often become the stars of the Premier League.

"Patient teaching and cultivating slowly, can't he improve his awareness and ability to fight?"

Aldridge doesn't want to decide the future of the other party when Reyes is 17 years old, in case, in case Reyes becomes popular in the future because of Millwall's experience, Millwall will give up on him in advance, and he will be slapped in the face in the future, which is different from giving up Vieira, after all, Vieira is old and has no place in the team.

Najib's expression was more complicated, and he was also annoyed and didn't want to make a premature decision about a player, but the reality is just not optimistic.

"There are two situations in which players are afraid of confrontation, the first is the fear of injury, and the second is the psychological trauma caused by the injury caused by the confrontation. Ramour belongs to the latter group, it took more than two years to overcome, and the current situation cannot be said to be particularly good, but at least the right playing environment, Ramour has no problem. But Reyes himself is the first type, we have tried to improve his confrontation awareness in the past year, and he has been working hard, but he suffered a small injury in the youth team at the end of last season, and it only took half a month to heal, but since then, he seems to have returned to square one, and he is gradually moving away from his goal. ”

Najib found that Reyes regressed in confrontation during the recent youth team training, which is not a reduction in ability, but a decline in confrontation awareness, confrontation and confrontation are called confrontation only if you take the initiative to do it, and he has no initiative to confront the consciousness, so this problem has to be taken seriously.

Aldridge was silent for a long time, and many players in the youth team also renewed their contracts in the summer, Reyes was one of them, with a symbolic salary increase of 30%, and the team's hopeful stars, whose contracts are signed for one year, ensure that they will not be suddenly poached and lose a lot.

In the end, he still shook his head and said: "No, it's too early to give up, and I just renewed his contract in the summer, if you give up on him at this time, it will hit him too hard, the club can't be so ruthless, Najib, a little more patience and hard work, a year, or two years, see the effect, if it still doesn't meet expectations, we will let him go." ”

Najib agreed, then handed him a copy of the document, saying: "This is a player who has been recommended by an outside agent to come to the team for a trial, and the youth team has decided to hire him, please prepare a contract for him." ”

Aldridge is not surprised, Millwall now has the golden sign of "cradle of superstars", many young players, players who do not have a professional contract will be recommended to come to the club for trials, and some are recommended by agents, maybe some kind of agreement has been reached with young players, such as helping him match him to tryout, if successful, we will sign!

Aldridge wasn't very worried about these things, but Najib handed him the papers, and he picked them up and looked at them, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

16-year-old Robert Hutter.

Schneider, Klose, Bout, Metzeld, plus the likes of Ballack, Millwall already have a good attraction for German players.

Aldridge was so excited that he immediately picked up the phone and sent it to the club staff, asking them to write a contract and send it to Hut. (To be continued......)
