In the second half of '86, the three boys of the Hall family moved forward on the road of their own struggle for their ideals.

Barnett left East London to study finance in West London, where he plans to enter the financial markets next year.

Andrew found Aldridge studying football game footage every day, and after inquiry, he learned that Aldridge wanted to be a coach in the future, so he also wanted to develop in this direction, but Aldridge persuaded him to become a talent in a new profession: agent.

This is Aldridge's thoughtful idea, he wants to use his strengths as much as possible, and many of the countless stars and superstars of the era in the future are still half-grown children, and with the great changes in the world of football in ten years, the benefits that player agents can obtain are simply immeasurable.

When Andrew was attracted by Aldrich's beautiful blueprint, he began to study law seriously, and to become a lawyer, which is a condition for becoming an agent.

Andrew often fantasizes about the unattainable superstars of football as his clients, and it feels like a dream to get up close and personal with them.

Aldridge is studying football tactics every day, as the birthplace of modern football, although England is famous for its brutal style of play in modern times, but on the whole, English football has made an indelible contribution to the process of world football, even though the Arsenal Arsenal led the trend of WM tactical change half a century ago.

When Aldridge really began to put himself in the shoes of a coach and began to delve into the game footage, he found that the previous spectator perspective was very undesirable, especially watching the game in front of the TV, and most of the time he could only see a small part of the football game, even if it was the wonderful part, but it could not cover the whole game at all.

In Sander's video shop, he was able to turn over and over a good game for a week or more, write and draw in his notebook, and thoroughly understand every attacker and defender's position, player movement, football trajectory, and so on.

Over time, Aldridge's perception of the game of football has improved qualitatively, and after seeing every goal conceded as an accident and every goal being difficult to match with luck, he believes that he has stood outside the door of a football coach.

Since Aldridge worked part-time in Sander's shop, the gangsters in the community did not cause trouble in the store, and Sand saw that Aldrich was obsessed with football game footage, so he always looked for more game videos to bring him when he bought them, especially the game footage of other European leagues.

Winter turned to spring, and after 87 years, Aldrich's life went according to plan, and his eldest brother Barnett tried to integrate into this game of eating people without spitting out bones in the London Stock Exchange, and he did not rush to invest in it.

Aldrich didn't know much about finance in his previous life, but he was a good student, and the famous "Black Monday" was highlighted in his textbooks.

And the time of the outbreak was October of '87.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Hall family.

Aldridge also goes to the Lions' Den Stadium to watch the Lions play Millwall, but he is always disappointed and often repelled by the actions of the Millwall fan group.

If Millwall are going to play West Ham United, then the hooligan fan group will go crazy within half an hour of getting the news, and it doesn't matter what the outcome of the game is, but the war off the pitch will continue from before the game to after the game.

The Heysel tragedy in the 80s was just one sign of football hooliganism in England, and there were countless football hooliganism that were suppressed and covered up by the domestic media and government, and Millwall and West Ham United were the representative teams of this.

Aldridge wants to focus on the stadium, but there is a faint trend of regression in English football, which is understandable, the English club that has been banned from participating in the three major European cups is in a rhythm that is derailed from Europe, not to mention that the second division league is not high in technical content, and the tactical aspect is also lackluster.

In such circumstances, Aldridge's game against Millwall appeared to be in high spirits, although there is still a rising star in the squad: Sheringham.

In all fairness, Millwall was promoted from the third division to the second division the previous season, and completed the relegation task last season.

He attributed this emotion to the fact that he was accustomed to seeing a game with high technical and tactical content in his previous life, and naturally he had no enthusiasm for rough and barbaric games, which was once difficult to water, and on the other hand, it was also a factor in the viewing environment, he sat among the Millwall fans, and did not even have a minute to quietly enjoy the game, and his ears were always full of fans' words of scolding and threatened to fight.

Soon, the 86/87 second division came to an end, Millwall did slightly better than last season, but they have not been promoted to the top flight like the mad Wimbledon did three times in a row, but Sheringham will return to the team from loan next season, presumably the team's results will be greatly improved.

In a year, Aldridge accumulated a lot of knowledge about football tactics, and he read books in addition to studying it himself, but he vaguely felt that he needed more systematic and professional training, so he had the idea of studying football coaching.

It was not until the end of '87 that Aldrich realized the idea.

The day after Black Monday in October, Barnett came home late at night, trembling with excitement and telling everyone in the family: Rich!

The decades-long economic boom after World War II finally reached its peak, and the economies of Europe and the United States entered a recession in an instant after Black Monday

Barnett made hundreds of thousands of pounds through borrowing and financial market leverage, although the capital is not much, and then he took advantage of the low to absorb many stocks that Aldrich believes will perform well in the future, and Aldrich has a big brother to contribute, officially suspend his studies, and enter the professional system of football coach training.

In every big year, Aldridge would use his memories to earn a lot of money, in '88, '90, '92

Since coming to this era in the summer of 86 and becoming the youngest son of the Hall family, eight years have passed.

On May 20, 1994, Aldridge flew back to London from Zurich to attend a lecture course organized by FIFA, and when he took a taxi to East London, he looked at the scene of the street backwards, and his face was full of trance.

In recent years, he has traveled all over Europe to study, which has added to his experience and given him the most intuitive experience of different styles of football in Europe.

The taxi stopped in front of his villa in the eastern suburbs of London, and Aldrich paid the fare and tip, and with the help of the taxi driver, took out two of his two large suitcases of luggage from the trunk.

Then, Aldrich looked at the vast manor-type villa, and his heart was full of infinite emotion.

Now, he can be regarded as rich and handsome.

The Hall family's wealth grew like a rocket, and when the European economy was in recession, Aldrich suggested that his eldest brother should shift his investment focus to emerging markets in Asia, which could be a good choice before the Asian financial crisis swept through.

Barnett's fortune is now worth more than £200 million, and it is still on the rise, not only in London but also in North America with friendly relationships with many business families.

The door in front of the villa was open, Aldrich walked in with two large suitcases, there were several high-end cars parked on both sides of the wide road, Aldrich didn't care, he came to the gate after bypassing the fountain in front of the door, he put down his luggage and knocked on the door, there was no response inside, Aldrich pressed the doorknob and pushed the door directly.

"Bang."

As soon as he opened the door, his mother Amelia fired a salute, and countless stripes of color fell from the sky and landed on Aldrich's flowing blonde hair.

"Happy birthday, son!"

Amelia excitedly stepped forward and hugged Aldrich and kissed him on the forehead.

Aldrich was stunned and then smiled, only to see the hall on the first floor crowded with people, and in front of him were Amelia in full costume and his father Arthur, who had been in good health in recent years.

After letting go of his mother, Aldrich walked up to his father and hugged him, and he smiled: "Your belly is too scary." ”

Arthur smiled but didn't say a word as he took a cigar in his mouth.

Aldrich turned his head to look at the pair of men and women standing next to him, the eldest brother Barnett and the eldest sister-in-law Leah looked talented and beautiful.

Barnett walked up to Aldrich and hugged him affectionately, and smiled in his ear: "Birthday present, I put it in your study, make sure you like it." ”

For his two younger brothers, Barnett is simply doting on him as a father.

Aldrich smiled and didn't care, and then turned his head to look at Andrew, who is now also in his early twenties, the two did not hug, Aldrich snatched the wine glass directly from the other party's hand, and the two brothers laughed without saying a word.

There were many guests in the hall, most of whom were acquaintances who had lived in the neighborhood before, as well as many old classmates and colleagues of the two older brothers and their parents.

These people, except for a very few Aldrich, still have impressions, but most of them are unknown.

The guests who came here were also curious, the youngest son of the Hall family was away all the year round and did not come back a few times a year, and it was really shocking to hear that this young man was studying to be a football coach outside.

Aldrich's return coincided with his birthday, and he didn't mind having a party at home, after all, the Hall family was very glamorous in London these days, and it was not comparable to the wealthier foreigners.

Aldrich was restrained at the party, but he was able to laugh and laugh with everyone who came to talk to him, and he was full of elegance.

It was not until late at night that Aldrich went upstairs to his room, and he first set up his salute, two large boxes, one for clothes and the other for books, and he planned to put them all in the study, when he stumbled upon a folder on the table.

Curious, he opened the folder and took a closer look, only to find out later that it was a contract document for the ownership of a football club.

He stared at the two names in the contract.

One is his own.

The other is the name of the football club.

Millwall Football Club!
