006 Formation of a new team
Among the three sons of the Hall family, Barnett is naturally the most promising in the eyes of outsiders, and he has worked hard to make hundreds of millions of family properties, and the second son Andrew's lawyer background can be regarded as making the family glorious, but Andrew established a brokerage company three years ago, but there is only input every year, no output, and it seems to be just a faΓ§ade.
As for the youngest son, Aldrich, he is away all the year round, and others don't even have the opportunity to see each other, let alone hear about Aldrich's academic achievements, so not many people pay attention to him.
In the study, Aldridge and Andrew discuss the future of Millwall, Andrew set up a brokerage company with 100,000 pounds three years ago, and the business has been almost zero in the past few years, but Andrew is patient, and he is confident that his genius brother will not let him down.
Sometimes Europeans are very superstitious.
Lucky colors, clothes, movements, etc. will always be trusted.
Aldridge earned the brothers more than Β£10,000 when he was 10 years old, and since then, Aldridge has not only been the mascot of the Hall family, but also a psychological guarantee of success and victory.
Now it is only 94 years, and the Boseman lawsuit has not yet been finalized, and the coffin will not be closed until the end of next year.
Before that, the player was the weak side, and the income was very small, there were many restrictions, and even the players whose contracts expired could not be transferred freely, so it is conceivable that in such an environment, no matter how big the player is, will he need an agent?
Unless there's another superstar like Best who goes beyond football, of course, it's not uncommon for a superstar to surpass football after the 21st century, but that's largely thanks to Boseman.
After the impact of the Boseman Act, it will be a period of transfer spurt for players to expect higher treatment, and after that, the influence of agents is becoming more and more important, which does not prevent Aldridge from letting Andrew take precautions, deal with players first, establish relationships with clubs, and use big brother Barnett's business network in Europe and the United States to establish contacts, which are the key factors for agents to become stronger and bigger in the future to attract players.
Therefore, the twenty-one-year-old Andrew, although there is no client in the company, his staff has traveled to various parts of the world and established a huge information network.
Over the past few years, Aldrich has been studying all over Europe, while Andrew has been gathering information and keeping in touch with Aldrich.
Aldridge used one of the dumbest methods to help Andrew pick players.
The youth team player information of clubs around the world has been seen by Aldridge, including photos, which can make Aldridge pay attention to him, Andrew will personally come to the door to establish a relationship, and if there are young players living in poverty, Andrew will even support for free, which is also what Aldridge means, which is called the early investment, because as long as he can become the player's agent later, even if he completes one or two transfers, it is thousands of times the return.
Aldridge is going to purge Millwall's first team, so the next step is naturally to find players, and young and obedient players.
So Andrew first said, "Remember that guy from the north of Brazil? He's been hesitating lately about signing with Corinthians, he's been told that there are other teams contacting him, and he asked me last month, so I don't have any suggestions, so if you want it, come to him. β
Aldridge didn't have his mind on the player yet, but he listened to Andrew's words, shook his head and said, "Forget it, he doesn't have a labor certificate to sign him." Besides, he hasn't signed with you yet, but when he does, you can talk to him about his intentions in this regard, and promise to help him land in Europe, so that he can make more money, and I will go to the Netherlands tomorrow. β
Andrew's Brazilian guy is not a simple character, he is the main champion of the future World Cup, the World Footballer of the Year and the Golden Ball Award, Rivaldo.
A few years ago, Rivaldo's life was very difficult, and after the loss of his father, his mother supported the family alone, and it was at that time that Andrew sponsored the teenager Rivaldo, which was only twenty pounds a month, but the purchasing power of the pound sterling combined with the standard of living in Brazil was enough for Rivaldo to stop being distracted by the burden of the family.
Andrew nodded and said, "Well, then let him come to Millwall when he can get his labor certificate." β
Aldridge looked helpless and denied: "Don't, you must not have such an idea, if he can go to the giants, let him go to the giants, this is an important time for you to establish reputation and fame, if you sign a good player and stuff it into your brother's club, who wants to sign with you?" β
Andrew scratched his head, intending to end the topic, and asked rhetorically, "What are you doing in the Netherlands?" β
Aldridge spread his hands and said, "Form a coaching team." β
Netherlands - Amsterdam
Aldridge dressed casually near the city's world-famous stadium, Arena.
Here, there is Ajax's unique youth base, when La Masia has not yet taken advantage of the convenience of the Bosman law to rise to the corner, Europe, and even the world's most famous youth base, only Ajax's De-Toekomst is famous, in Dutch, this means the future.
In the summer of '94, no one realized that Ajax's future was about to be destroyed by Boseman.
There are a number of training grounds at the Academy, where players of all ages are showing their talent under the guidance of coaches, and the crowd is from the sidelines, from parents of children to scouts from different clubs.
The last time Aldridge was here, it was Ajax's draft day, and it was crowded with many parents who brought their children to participate in the draft, but there were very few children who met the Ajax TIPS selection criteria, and Aldridge was very sympathetic to those children who were not selected and wept.
In the distance, Aldrich stood on the periphery of the training ground and shouted to a young man who was directing the players' training: "Jensen! β
Jenson Bernard was wearing a relaxed coaching uniform, heard someone calling him, looked back, and found Aldridge in the distance, Harooha smiled and walked out, and when he came out of the training ground to Aldrich, he smiled and said: "It's hot and sweaty, so I don't hug." Are you studying in the Netherlands again? β
Aldridge lived in the neighborhood for a while, and was sharing a house with this Jenson Bernard, so he formed a good relationship.
"Are you still coaching? Didn't get promoted? β
Aldridge looked at the training ground with a smile in his eyes, those hard-working children are enviable, Dutch football is also respectful, 433, eternal offensive football.
Jensen shrugged and said to himself, "There are too many talents here, and it's not my turn to be promoted." β
Aldridge hit him with his elbow in the ribs and sneered: "Hehe, how did Jensen, who was so ambitious to become the manager of Ajax, have a sissy tone." β
Jenson Bernard is a combination of luck and misfortune.
He was favored by Ajax at a very young age, but after six years of training at Ajax, his talent seemed to run out, but he was not expelled by Ajax, this is the practice of Ajax, so Jensen completed the transfer, from a player to a coach, and now only twenty-three years old Jensen is already a veteran coach of the Ajax Academy, after all, he has been here for four years!
Jensen rubbed his ribs and said with a wry smile: "I can't stand it anymore, I didn't think before, every day in front of children, but I'm aging, it's a kind of torture." β
Aldridge turned his head to look at him and said softly, "Come and help me, give you a promotion and become an assistant coach." β
Jenson pouted, "I'm not interested in joking." β
'I'm serious, oh, forgot to introduce myself, my name is Aldrich Hall, my family is in London, I own a football club called Millwall, and next season, Millwall will play in the English First Division.
Aldrich stared at Jenson with a sincere gaze and said solemnly.
He knew Jenson, and during the days they shared the house, they spent countless nights talking about football tactics, analysing game footage, and having their own opinions on the future of football.
Jenson, on the other hand, has not been willing to work in the academy since he became a coach, so he has learned a lot, including how to be an assistant coach or even a head coach, and of course, it is all on paper without any practical experience.
Aldridge is also inexperienced now, he can recruit an experienced assistant coach, but that kind of assistant coach is bound to be old-fashioned, and his authority will be divided in the locker room, and I don't know who the players will listen to.
Aldridge wants to purge Millwall's current coaching staff, not including the ordinary coaches who train on a daily basis, most of those coaches are physical coaches, and the coaching staff related to the team's tactics is the core of the team, which Aldridge knows better than anyone.
Players in the team can make mistakes, and if one player makes mistakes, they can be made up by another player, but if the coaching staff makes tactical mistakes, then there is no room to make amends.
Therefore, he has to build his own coaching team, the core of which is the key to the team's tactical success.
For a coach like Jensen, his contract usually expires at the end of June, so Aldridge's first step is to come to the Netherlands to poach people first, which is to avoid adding difficulty to poaching people in July.
Jenson saw that Aldrich didn't seem to be joking, so he tentatively asked, "Assistant coach?" β
Aldrich nodded.
"Salary?"
"A thousand pounds a month, and the contract is renewed annually."
"Housing?"
"The club provides."
"with you!"
Jenson licked his lips and nodded vigorously.
There are too many academy coaches like him at Ajax, and a monthly salary of Β£300 is considered a high salary, and Aldridge's offer is a treatment that he cannot refuse.
After getting excited, Jenson said, "Do you need anyone else?" β
"I want as much as you can dig, of course, the oldest age cannot be more than 25 years old, I don't want there to be a generation gap in the internal communication of the coaching staff, and I don't want someone to rely on the old and sell the old."
"Cheng, there are a few you knew back then, I went to be a lobbyist, what do you say about treatment?"
Assistant coaches are definitely paid a little bit more than other coaches.
"Six hundred pounds a month, food and lodging clubs."
"Wait for my good news."
Watching Jenson trot away, Aldridge looked up at the sky, and he was at least confident in the face of the new season in two months.
