Drogba is very different from the traditional image of an African player, and this difference refers to the trajectory of life.

Most African players landed in Europe as nobodies, either going professional and starting their football careers, or failing their tryouts and ending up on the streets of Europe as pawns.

Drogba was born in France at a very young age, and he was not alone until he was 20 years old, when he should be independent and had to be independent, that he began to seriously use football as a professional tool to earn a living.

Before the age of 20, he was playing, playing, just playing, without so many lofty ideals and ambitions, after playing all over France, it was time to support his own family, but he went to Paris Saint-Germain for a trial at this time, but was refused, that is, at that time, he was brought to London by Millwall, and from then on, he really put all his energy into football.

As for the inspirational story that people boasted about when he became famous and began to hone his skills as a teenager, it is pure nonsense.

Otherwise, African players who have really been playing football since childhood, at the age of 20, are definitely far better than Drogba in terms of ball skills, and even Klose, who was born in the amateur league, has better skills at his feet than Drogba, because Klose came earlier than Drogba and received a year of professional technical guidance and training, and the gap is obvious, and when Drogba came to Millwall, in addition to his innate strong physical fitness, skills? One word is enough: rough.

The detailed description is: Miserable rough!

He should be grateful for his talent, yes, it is talent, if he had changed to someone else, he would not have this strong body. At the age of 20, it is still at this level of skill. I can't say goodbye to professional football. But at least trying to stand at the top level is whimsical.

Although Drogba has been honing his skills in the past two years, his foundation is poor, and he can't catch up in a year or two, especially because Millwall is not a third-rate team, not a second-rate team, and Aldridge no matter how much he trains. Nor can it be completely discarded at the expense of the record.

In the Champions League, the league, the FA Cup, and the third-tier battles, Millwall have to experience two games a week almost every week, and in such a dense schedule, Aldridge also has to deal with the turmoil caused by Drogba.

Compared with the endless peachy news of most local players, Drogba's fame is quite manly and hot-blooded!

On Friday evening, Aldridge sat in the conference room, where he spoke with Moyes for a long time.

Didier Drogba spent the season on loan at Preston North End at the start of the season. Now that he's suddenly back at the club, he doesn't want to stay there anymore. And Preston can't accommodate him, from the fans to the inside of the locker room.

Moyes was disappointed with the situation.

Drogba, it's easy!

As of the end of the 30th round of League One, Drogba monopolized the top scorer list, scoring 21 goals, and also helped Preston to firmly occupy the fifth place in the league.

But at this time, Drogba became a public enemy of Preston.

The incident didn't cause much repercussions in London, after all, it's League One club news, and it doesn't deserve much attention from the mainstream media.

The simple story of the incident is that Drogba and the captain Preston have an argument over the parking space, and the two have a big fight in the parking lot outside the club's training ground, and there is no suspense, Drogba sent the other party to the hospital.

This time, even if Drogba is a goal hero, he dares to beat the captain of the homegrown team, the locker room does not allow him, and the fans also call on him to get out, Drogba is also free and easy, there is no master here, there is a place to keep his master!

Picked up my luggage and returned to London the same day.

But when he returned to London, the boy was cowardly, and he did not dare to return to the Millwall Club in a small hotel, as if he was worried that his actions would incur the club's dissatisfaction and punishment.

After all, the team that paid him a salary was Millwall, and other teams might not be able to afford the weekly salary he received.

By the time the East Window incident happened, it was already two days later when Millwall got the news.

Didier Drogba couldn't be contacted, so Millwall sent people to France and Côte d'Ivoire to hunt him down, thinking that he had absconded back to Africa or France.

Luckily, Lamour, who had been with him for a while in the reserves, had another private phone number of his, a secret contact number between friends for fun, which brought him back from the small hotel.

Moyes still wants to persuade Drogba to go back to Preston, his heart is broken, he is determined to lead Preston to success, and seeing that this season has developed much better than expected, the young players Aldridge has given him are really useful, and the results speak for themselves.

It's time to sprint, and the team's main striker runs home!

Aldrich, after understanding what happened, made the final decision.

"Drogba can't go back, really can't, David, you should think about yourself, really, I understand your feelings, you want to lead Preston to greater achievements, but now, the angry fans, the original Preston players in your dressing room, they can't accept Drogba anymore, if you take him back, regardless of what happens to Drogba, he will be isolated over there, and you? You will also face the accusations of a thousand people, and when the time comes, you may fall into a dilemma of betrayal and separation. ”

Aldridge genuinely thinks about Moyes, and the other party can only reluctantly accept the reality after thinking about it.

He's just a helpless guy who wants to succeed and wants to go crazy.

If it is not high or low from the beginning, then the gangster will be pulled down after this season, but success is obviously close at hand but ruined, Moyes's mood, Aldridge can more or less understand, except for helplessness and acceptance, can only adjust by himself, there is no other way.

After Aldridge saw Moyes off, he asked the staff to bring Drogba in, and he waited for the thorn in the conference room.

Not long after, Drogba walked in with a serious expression and a little fear in his eyes, looking quite a tough guy. In front of Aldrich. But there was a smell of trembling.

Since he returned to London. The mood immediately changed, from being arrogant in Preston to sending the captain to the hospital without changing his face, to nervousness and apprehension.

Maybe it's the bustling city that forces the wild boy to be a man with his tail between his legs, maybe it's Millwall that convinces him as one of the few successful teams of his time in Europe, or maybe it's because the club holds his life checkbook.

Aldrich saw him standing by the door as if he didn't dare to approach him, and whispered, "Come here." Sit down. ”

Drogba walked over to the nearest table and pulled up a chair, and Aldrich said, "Come here, sit next to me." ”

Drogba immediately pushed his chair back and sat down next to Aldrich, who turned his head to look at him, but he lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.

"What did you do?"

"Huh?"

"Why don't you even have the courage to look at me?"

"Uh, I'm causing trouble for the club."

"Well, that's true. First of all, tell me why you want to beat people? ”

Drogba scratched his head, and seeing that Aldrich showed no signs of reprimanding him, he told the story with a big grin. Of course, it's from his point of view.

He went to Preston with simple luggage. Accommodation was settled by Preston, and the salary was paid by Millwall.

Just the day before he started beating someone, he found that he had already deposited a lot of money in his account.

So, the proud monster wanted to live a more coquettish life, he went to buy a new car, proudly drove the new car to the club to participate in training, and was ready to show off with his teammates.

As a result, he parked his car in the parking space belonging to Captain Preston, and originally he didn't have a car, so naturally he didn't care about this, so he didn't care.

However, the captain of Preston arrived by car and found that his parking space was occupied by this big black man.

Lack of communication between people, especially those with impatient personalities, is the most likely to cause conflict.

The England Preston captain dismissed Warcraft's actions as provocation.

From his point of view, Drogba is in the limelight, and most of the team's good results have been stolen by this outsider, and Captain Preston directly taught Drogba a lesson.

Warcraft felt innocent, he didn't recruit anyone and didn't provoke anyone, he parked in the wrong place when he bought a car, but it attracted a reprimand, and most importantly, not far away, a teammate who came in advance witnessed this scene, and he couldn't hold his face!

In order to shut up Captain Preston, Drogba slapped the opponent's face with big ears as soon as his head was hot, and then, the two staged a real PK, Warcraft won completely, and the other party was sent to the hospital by two teammates on the left and right

Aldrich didn't comment, he picked up a document and began to flip through it.

Drogba was very happy when he hit someone, but now he is worried and says, "Boss, why don't you speak?" ”

"What do I need to say?"

"Uh, I beat the captain of Preston."

"Oh, it's all over anyway, it's useless for me to say anything. I don't think the other party will sue you for wounding. ”

"Sue me? No, isn't it? If you fight, is he going to sue me? ”

Aldridge inexplicably turned his head to look at Drogba, who looked surprised, and asked: "He can't beat you, you sent him to the hospital, if you don't want to give up, either he will come to revenge on you again, or, you can only resort to legal means, is this strange?" If the wounding is not an offence, at least 20 percent of the lawyers will lose their jobs. ”

Drogba really went from nervous to scared.

"Boss, I'm not going to jail, am I?!"

Aldrich laughed in his heart: I scared you to death! Let's see if you dare to cause trouble!

comforted him lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a small matter, you can also ask a lawyer to help you defend it, but I think the possibility of the other party suing you is not high, don't worry, just take it as a lesson, think twice in the future, beating people sounds very majestic, but the matter is going to be serious, and it is you who suffer losses and put yourself in danger." ”

Drogba nodded hurriedly, and then thought about it, it was true, there were degrees of fighting, and if one accidentally made a mistake, the disaster of imprisonment could not be erased by money.

"Boss, since he can't beat me, why won't he sue me?"

"He's stupid, sue you? I can't wait for the whole world to know that he was beaten by you? A person who can be a captain can not lose face? If you don't love face, you won't have a conflict with you, I heard that his injury is not serious, and he can recover in the hospital for two weeks, I said, you should take a lesson to remember, one thing I must tell you clearly, in a team, except for the last game, everyone is equal, in the usual training life, you have to know how to respect the seniors, for example, we go out to play, on the bus, my seat, you can't sit, captain Gareth's seat, you can't sit, and so on, if you accidentally sit, When you are reminded to do so, you can correct such a mistake immediately, understand? ”

Drogba nodded again, and then asked, "Boss, then you mean that I hit him by mistake?" ”

"It's definitely not right to hit someone, it's a crime, you know? But that captain is also responsible, if it's Gareth, he will smile at most and remind you that it's his parking space, so you can pay attention to it later, and you can't make a big fuss and teach you a lesson, so that's Preston and we're Millwall, they're working hard in League One, we're the top team in the Premier League. ”

Drogba laughed, and Aldrich shook his head with a smile.

The locker room order and the internal relationship of the team are still very conservative, although not as hierarchical as feudalism, but at least the prestige of the order is still there, the captain is more off-field privileges than his teammates, and the players with deep seniority and high prestige are also treated higher than the average player, which is the reward they have earned for their efforts, which is fundamentally different from differential treatment.
