When Andrew walked into Aldrich's office, the two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, and they were all smiling.
"You've come just in time, I'm looking for you."
"I'm here, of course, to find you something."
Aldrich put down his own affairs first and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Andrew sat down and fell silent, and Aldrich asked puzzledly, "What is it that makes you so confused?" ”
Andrew smiled helplessly and said, "Because strictly speaking, it's not something I should ask about, it's Henry's business." ”
The smile on Aldrich's face vanished.
"You're here to be a lobbyist? Convince me to sell him? Make a fortune? No, no, Andrew, this thing has nothing to do with money, he wants to go, he wants to stand in front of me, look me in the eye, and tell me seriously and firmly that he is leaving, do you know the way? I've never hated anyone in my heart, Stam, Elgra, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, they left when Millwall was famous, I was in a bad mood for two or three days at most, and then I accepted it, every day in this world, there are people in this world who denounce the betrayers around them, saying that they can only share weal and worn, not wealth and prosperity, isn't this very normal? I have seen a lot, listened a lot, and experienced it myself, and my resistance is naturally very tenacious, which I can accept. But I can't accept it, do you know what the Tao is? When Henry arrived at Millwall, we were Champions League winners. We also have league titles. Two years have passed. Millwall is among the giants, he is here, he has already gotten the best, and he couldn't be more perfect! I trust him, my teammates trust him, the fans support him, WTF! What more could he want? Don't say you can't get anything at Millwall, you can't prove anything. Right here, right here at Millwall, right under me, he can get everything! Even if it's money, as long as he doesn't make a mistake himself, I can guarantee that he won't be able to spend all his money for ten lifetimes on the day he retires! And he's going to Turin? Going to Juventus? What to do there? Is it rotten? Downcast? Make your story a little more twisty? I couldn't understand what was going on in his head. ”
Aldridge will not let go of Henry, and if he falls out, he will not let him go to Juventus.
Players who leave him, with a sense of responsibility, will choose a club for the players that is in line with the development of the players, and now his only regret is Ballack for the players. let him go to Real Madrid, but he failed to break out of his own world in Real Madrid.
Henry to Juventus?
Both the original history and the present reality tell Aldrich. It was the worst decision for Henry.
Even if Millwall defeated the Serie A giants in the European competition, it does not mean that Henry can still be like a fish in water when he goes to Serie A, the overall league style is still fundamentally different from the Champions League, the Champions League must be won, Serie A To a certain extent, too many teams are afraid of losing, driven by interests is utilitarian conservative, in the face of the chain defense of most teams, in dense situations, this is completely inconsistent with Henry's smart ball combination of technical characteristics play.
I have to admit that the overall technical and tactical content of the Premier League in this era is not high, especially compared with Serie A, that is, it is obviously backward.
The overall style of the Premier League's wide opening and closing is very suitable for a player like Thierry Henry.
Andrew sighed when he saw that Aldrich was not right and was angry.
He knows in his heart that there is a little bit of love, and there is a little bit of hate.
If Aldridge let go of Vanney, who had been with him for five years, for Henry, it would seem a bit hypocritical, but in fact, Henry was the direct reason for forcing Vanney away, and from the time Henry came to the club to recuperate, Aldridge taught him on the sidelines of the training ground, used the game to train him, and shaped him step by step into today's European killer king.
If it was three years ago, four years ago, Henry was leaving, Aldridge might not be angry, lost for a few days, and then blessed the other party, Millwall was not worthy of a world-class player at that time, Aldridge was self-aware.
But today, Millwall still has players to leave, absolutely, but if it's an honour factor, that's not acceptable to Aldridge.
Andrew stared at the expressionless Aldrich with a calm expression, and said softly, "I want to ask you for one thing. ”
"What?"
"Is it true that Adam said at the press conference that Millwall had prepared a new contract for Henry with a weekly salary of 50,000 yuan?"
Andrew came, first of all, to inquire about it.
Even if Adam said that without changing his tone in front of everyone, Andrew still deeply doubted that as an agent, he had been in the industry for so long, and he never easily believed the club's public statements.
Sometimes it's just a way to pass the buck.
Aldridge shrugged and said: "Of course it's true, I think Henry can already get the second salary of the club, and above him, there are three captains, Nedved and Larsson's performance and qualifications, they should definitely earn more than Henry, Southgate is already 30 years old, after fulfilling this five-year contract, he will definitely take a back seat, within five years, Henry may be able to go one step further and become the representative of the club's top salary, but his agent asked for a weekly salary of 75,000 pounds, do you think, Millwall should agree?" ”
Andrew fell silent again, Aldrich was confused by him, but after thinking about it, since Andrew came to ask about it, there must be a reason for it.
"Andrew, what do you know?"
Andrew hesitated for a moment and said: "Henry's matter is so big, the city is full of storms, the whole European football world is paying attention, after today's press conference, I actually tried to understand the inside story with a gossip mentality, but through my information channel, I have a version of Henry's side here, do you want to hear it?" ”
Aldrich raised his hand and said, "First of all, you have to tell me what your information channel is, don't be a reporter." ”
Andrew sneered and said, "David, David Trezeguet." Henry talked to him about renewing his contract. David told me. Henry said he only wanted a £40,000 a week contract, however, Henry's agent told him that Millwall only gave him £30,000 a week, and at the same time, told Henry that Pavel was now paid £100,000 a week, which was actually about 100,000. But not yet, and conditionally. ”
Weekly salary plus loyalty rewards, plus appearance fees, championship bonuses and other income, it is realistic to say that Nedved's weekly salary is 100,000.
Aldrich's eyes narrowed slightly, and he frowned, "When did this happen?" It can't just happen today, right? ”
Andrew shook his head and smiled: "I know what you are suspicious of, are you guessing, it is possible that Henry is now in a hurry to repair the relationship with the club at the expense of the agent." So just relayed such a story through David? I can vouch for it personally, David heard Henry say that two weeks ago. They were both in France at the time, celebrating France's European Cup victory, and after that, there was no contact, although the Juventus hierarchy asked David to persuade Henry to join, but David ostensibly agreed and did not take action. ”
Aldridge closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and after opening his eyes again, he said with interest: "So, is the agent obstructing Henry from renewing his contract with Millwall, and wants Henry to transfer away?" ”
Andrew laughed at himself: "All evil agents, yes, all faults, are our vampires' own. ”
Aldrich nodded and walked back behind his desk, as if the conversation was over in an instant.
"Hey, Zhilu said this, what are you doing for this reaction?"
Andrew's face was puzzled.
Aldrich asked rhetorically, "How should I react?" Tears of joy? Chest-beating cheers? ”
"Henry"
"I'll talk about it when he gets back to the club."
"Aren't you going to contact him now?"
"Why should I contact him? And then tell him, your agent has been bought? From start to finish, I, the Millwall Club, did nothing wrong! It was he who had the problem, and the agent was at his service! The broker he paid for! Millwall has not a single ounce of responsibility! ”
There was silence in the office, and Andrew stared calmly at Aldrich, who looked away after a dozen seconds of looking at each other.
After a long moment, Andrew said softly, "Aldrich, you have changed. ”
Aldrich was like a stubborn child, saying, "Shouldn't I change? The big giants write checks, do I give away the star of the house? Millwall is changing, and I must change too! ”
Andrew smiled: "No, it's not this, you were half right just now, that's right, it's Henry's responsibility, the agent is his, and if the agent has a problem, Henry has an unshirkable responsibility." But what about clubs? Shouldn't the club help the players solve their problems? In this case, Henry is responsible, but he is also a victim. You can decide his future at the club and influence his career, and maybe all you need is a word, a smile, a handshake to turn Henry's career, his life, upside down. Six years ago, Aldridge went back and forth in European countries, not only with full sincerity, but also from the bottom of his heart for the player, who could let go generously, and who could become a public enemy of public opinion for the player, in exchange for what? In exchange for the unwavering allegiance of players like Gareth, in exchange for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Patrick Vieira and others coming to Millwall's home stadium to respectfully go to the dressing room to see you. You need to change, that's true, but your toughness, should you also be your own people? ”
Aldrich's expression changed several times in a complicated manner, and he suddenly kicked on the foot of his desk.
Coach, sometimes that's the fate!
You can choose not to tolerate sand in your eyes, or you can choose to be open-minded and tolerant.
You can choose to turn a blind eye or you can choose to lend a helping hand as much as you can.
Andrew walked up to Aldrich, reached out and pressed on his shoulder, and said softly: "You just can't put it down now, it's not your fault, if I were you, I wouldn't be able to do it." Leave this matter to me, and I'll help you figure it out. ”
Aldrich sighed and nodded.
To be honest, he really can't put it down.
I just said cruel things to Henry on the phone, and now my attitude has changed 180 degrees?
Sorry, people, they all have emotions.
What if Henry is a victim?
Aldridge still feels that his prestige has been violated, and at the same time, this turmoil is damaging Millwall's image, and Millwall, who has just been promoted to a wealthy club, must not retreat half a step.
Andrew said goodbye, then left the office, and when he was out, he took out his phone and called Trezeguet, asking Trezeguet to help him meet Henry in London.
After Andrew had been gone for a long time, Aldrich suddenly shouted in his office: "WTF! Andrew, you've grown up! The calculation is on my head! (To be continued......)
