It was summer, and it was raining heavily in London, and Glen Charles drove to the neighborhood where Aldridge's house was located, driving out of his home in East London, keeping an eye on the streets along the way.

Times are changing and East London has changed a lot since he arrived seven years ago, and if it is still not as comfortable as Stamford Bridge and North London, at least the environment has improved dramatically.

Seven years in the Lion Formation, Glenshire witnessed the rise of a dynasty that was one of the cornerstones of the dynasty, but not the most important pillar.

This year, he is 24 years old.

It is not possible to leave the most beautiful years in the wild lion, but he has the intention to repay but his strength is not good.

The companions around him, the competitors left one after another, in exchange for each other, Pire left, Shevchenko came, and after the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, there was the Brazilian elf Xiao Luo turned out.

Every day and every day for the past seven years, he said to himself: work harder, get closer to the main position, get closer, and one day, he will step on the main position and fight side by side with his most iron-clad buddy Schneider, attack the city for the wild lions, and sweep the green field!

The Lions have swept the strong opponent and are invincible, but Glen Schal has gone from being a substitute seven years ago to today, and he is still a substitute.

It's not that he doesn't work hard enough, it's that no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with the gap with Ronaldo, Henry, Larson.

After being replaced by Ronaldo in the Champions League final, he saw Ronaldo single-handedly challenge Kufuor and then past Anderson, winning the duel against Kahn, and Glen Schal cheered as he rushed out of the bench. There was suddenly an indescribable bitterness in my heart.

24 years old. It can be said that it is a fork in the road for a football player.

If a genius achieves nothing at this age. Then the word genius on the top of the head can be removed directly, and the late bloomer will inevitably have no chance with the genius evaluation when he is young.

Glenschal has never claimed to be a talent, but now is also a very critical period in his career, continuing to wait on the bench at Millwall for his chance, I am afraid that he will always be a substitute at the end of his career, even. In the end, he couldn't even keep his qualification as a substitute.

In the heavy rain, Glenschal drove to Aldrich's mansion, and yesterday, Aldridge returned from vacation and invited Glenschal to his home.

Drove the car into Aldrich's garage, after Glenschal got out of the car, he saw Aldridge in a casual T-shirt waiting for him at the side door with a smile on his face, and his youngest son Earl staring at Glenshire curiously, seeing him looking, Earl immediately said, "Uncle." Hello. ”

Glen Charles lost his mind slightly.

Uncle?

yes, 24 years old. It's already an uncle.

Aldrich, on the other hand, is actually only a year older than him.

Aldridge closed the garage door and invited Glenshire into the room from the side goal.

"Hi Jespe, did you have a great vacation?"

Evan, who used to work at Millwall, met Glen Shire, and she had prepared a table of treats.

Glen Charles replied casually, "Not bad. ”

In fact, he didn't go on vacation at all, but thought about it at home, and it took more than half a month to finally make up his mind.

Aldrich opened two bottles of the best red wine from the collection and exchanged glasses with Glen Charles at the table.

At the dinner table, the master and apprentice did not talk about any topics about football, but talked about life and topics that young people would care about.

By the end of dinner, Aldridge and Glenschal were the only ones left at the table.

I don't know if it's because of alcohol, Grunschal suddenly lowered his head, tears dripped down his chin, Aldrich reached out and pressed on his shoulder, Glenschal tilted his head against it, and choked up: "Chief, thank you." ”

All he could say was a word of thanks.

It's not that Millwall doesn't want him, it's that he knows that his demands and Millwall's demands can't be both.

Aldrich said softly: "Jespe, remember, Millwall will always be your home, if one day, you want to come back, I will personally fly to pick you up!" ”

Glen Charles sobbed, once or twice, three times four times, all the while nodding his head.

At 9 p.m., Glenshire woke up and said goodbye to Aldrich.

The two hugged in the garage, and when they parted, Aldrich said to him, "Have a nice trip, good luck." ”

Then, he stood by the garage door and watched as Glenschar's car slowly sank into the rain.

Long after the shadow of the car disappeared into the rain, Aldrich remained standing on the edge of the garage, staring ahead in distraction.

Day and night, the departure of partners who have walked side by side for seven years brings far more sadness than the feelings of Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Ergra and others when they leave.

Even if Glenschal is far less important than Shevchenko, even if he brings less than half the transfer income to the club.

Aldridge wants Glenschal to stay, he stays, it will help Millwall's bench thickness and the team will be stronger, but since Glenschal has chosen to leave, Aldridge will send his sincere blessings, Millwall does not owe Glenschal, and Glenscharle does not owe Millwall, between the two, there is only a seven-year bond of friendship.

Aldrich knows that if he says goodbye today, he will probably have no time in the future.

Glen Schal may never play for any other team in England in the future, he was not born in Millwall, but grew up in Millwall, and for seven years, he has been behind every title in Millwall, although it is somewhat unremarkable.

The next day, Millwall officially announced a transfer agreement with French team Paris Saint-Germain, and Glen Charles transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for 13oo pounds!

Tens of thousands of Lions fans left messages on 6 Glenschar's personal homepage, wishing Glenschal's new life in Paris smooth sailing.

The fans are rational, Glen Schal played for Millwall for seven years, although the credit is not much, but the hard work is real, he stays, everyone welcomes, he leaves, everyone blesses.

went to Paris Saint-Germain, Glen Charles can play the main team, and his income has also increased, Aldridge is reasonable. Unable to utter the words to persuade Glen Charles to stay.

Champion?

Remain at Millwall as a substitute. as a substitute. His championship has also been softened, so what's the point of having a few more?

Aldridge also had a deep discussion with the second entry palace Paris Saint-Germain coach and old friend Fernandes about the transfer of Glen Schal, and only nodded and released after receiving assurances from the other party.

The summer transfer in European football is in full swing, the recruitment of giants is the biggest attraction, and Millwall is dominated by stability, and now it is difficult for the outside world to accuse Millwall of inaction in the transfer market: successful teams do not change!

This is a time to look back at Millwall's transfer investment over the summer. Fleet Street is full of praise again, believing that on the basis of victory, the Wild Lions continue to cultivate successors and cultivate fresh blood, so that the strength of the team's lineup will last for a long time.

On the first weekend of July, Aldridge's home was home with another guest, Tottenham's new chairman: Daniel Levy.

Tottenham's record has been poor in recent years, and the previous owner Suga has been criticized by fans, and even received death threats from fans, and he is under pressure. Selling Tottenham in the first half of the year, the Eninetic group, represented by Levy, has a distinctly Jewish brand: make money!

One qiē takes making money as the ultimate goal.

And ENIC is very ambitious, and then has to fight with UEFA, because they not only control Tottenham, but also control two other second-rate strong clubs in European football, UEFA implements a civilian poverty alleviation strategy in the European competition, reaping the consequences, if the team controlled by ENIC meets in the European competition, it is very likely to cause the "agreement ball" conjecture, after all, the boss behind the scenes is the same group, this lawsuit is protracted, and UEFA is not a court, they cannot fight against EU law, and therefore, UEFA has its own way of dealing with it, separating these teams when they draw lots, as for how to divide them, then they need to use a blind eye, but the hidden worry is still there, because no matter how you draw the group, such as the League Cup, if Tottenham and another team controlled by ENIC meet in the final, in order to maximize the club's income, the result of the game will still cause suspicion, but this concern has not been realized in the following decade, perhaps related to Tottenham's ambition to be in the Champions League, not the League Cup, and in the Champions League, Tottenham don't have the absolute strength to go all the way.

Levy came with a gift, which was very valuable, and when he walked into Aldrich's house, he looked very solemn, and Aldrich smiled secretly in his heart when he saw his cautious appearance.

Before that, he had heard Arthur mention this Levi, and at the last round table meeting of the British bosses, Levi was present, and the expression of the whole process was, in Arthur's words, like a "frightened child".

Aldridge thought that the other party was a student of Rietsdale and wanted to come to Millwall to buy players, but Levy opened his mouth, and Aldridge was stunned.

"Lending?"

Levi, who is bald and wears glasses, looks sven, but he also has the potential to be a thief, but fortunately, his expression is strict, so that people will not think crookedly.

'Well, Tottenham haven't had a lot of money to make player transfers this summer, and I looked through the club's past management logs and found that in January this year, Millwall had proposed to bring in Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole on loan, but in the end no agreement was reached, and the two players went to Charlton Athletic and did a great job to help Charlton finish in the upper reaches of the Premier League. I think if Millwall are willing to send them on loan this season, Tottenham can afford their salary during the loan period. ”

Charlton Athletic's final league standings last season, no one believed it, it was sixth in the league! With Ipswich behind him and then Chelsea, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are all in the mix. And what about Tottenham? 13th in the league.

Aldrich thought that the Jews were rich, but he didn't expect Levi to be very real.

Tottenham has no money now, so they rely on boiling, and slowly the economy improves, and they have the ability to invest again and take a pragmatic route.

Tottenham Hotspur has another group of old and sick people in the squad, and if they want to restore the glory of this club, it will almost have to be reversed.

Not long ago, Tottenham had a seismic transfer affair.

Saul Campbell, a general who thought that his contract would be renewed, actually defected to White Hart Lane as a free man, went out for a while, walked into Highbury, and put on the robes of the sworn enemy gunners!

In such a turbulent period of internal and external difficulties, Levy still focuses on streamlining and running his family, and he can't buy people, and he can also rent good players, which is also the hope of current coach Glenn Hoddle.

Millwall has no grievances with Tottenham, the other party is willing to help with the leveling, and it is in London, the team manager also has a certain prestige, Aldridge does not make things difficult for Levy, and also adds an additional player, Joe Cole.

The only condition attached to the loan contract is to add better personal treatment to the player, such as additional goal bonuses and win bonuses during the loan period.

Levy did not hesitate and nodded in agreement, and the newcomer Levy and Aldridge completed a friendly cooperation between the clubs.

Following the departure of Glen Schal, Millwall have announced the departure of three more players on loan.

Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole are on loan at White Hart Lane for a season. (To be continued......)
