The next day, Aldrich found a random doctor in the hospital, paid for an inpatient ward, and then walked in with Melanie, who had slept on his shoulder at dawn, and put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt, while he himself walked out of the hospital and lit a cigarette on the street outside against the wall.

After a while, Melanie ran out of the hospital, saw Aldrich smoking outside, slowed down her hurried steps, walked up to him and whispered, "I'm going to buy breakfast." ”

"No, I'd better come, you don't understand the language."

Aldrich was about to go to a nearby restaurant, but he saw Puskash's wife, Elizabeth, coming from a distance, clutching her handbag tightly in her hand, very nervous.

From her demeanor, Aldrich knew that she was on the lookout for thieves or robbers in the streets, and that Budapest was notoriously chaotic, after all, it was the largest black market trading center in Europe, and all kinds of ghosts, snakes and gods were mixed here.

Aldrich met her, and she was visibly relieved.

"Elizabeth, there's money in your purse, right?"

Aldrich asked without hesitation.

Elizabeth nodded calmly.

"You put away the money, I cover all the medical expenses of Ferenc."

Aldrich said firmly.

There is no cure for Puskas's disease, but it must be cared for around the clock, and taking medicine only delays the progression of the disease.

Elizabeth shook her head firmly.

Aldrich looked sad and said in a deep voice: "Elizabeth, don't refuse, really, your health is not good, if you treat me as your child, don't refuse me, will you let me watch you suffer?" ”

Elizabeth, who was diabetic, said with a look of embarrassment: "Aldrich, you are a good boy, but we can't accept your help. ”

"Remember? Ferenc said I was a stubborn person, so let me be stubborn once. ”

Elizabeth looked at Aldrich, who had been sleepless all night, and sighed heavily, and did not insist any longer.

She walked into the hospital to visit Puskas, while Aldrich took Melanie to a nearby restaurant for breakfast.

Sitting in an ordinary restaurant, Melanie said curiously, "Puskas used to be a superstar." ”

Aldrich knew her subtext and said lightly: "In those days, playing football could make you famous all over the world, but it couldn't make you rich, and the money they made was not much different from that of miners." ”

Melanie suddenly realized, and then said: "If you tell Real Madrid about this"

Aldrich, who was in a terrible mood, suddenly said in disgust: "Don't mention Real Madrid!" ”

Realizing his gaffe, Aldrich closed his eyes and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mood, it's not aimed at you." ”

Aldridge hated Millwall because he had seen football hooligans beating up rival fans on the streets, in the chaotic eighties, and he didn't like Real Madrid, despite his mentorship with Puskas.

But it is precisely because of Puskas that Aldridge is full of disgust with Real Madrid at this moment.

Because he clearly remembers that in the original history, ten years later, when Puskas, who was surrounded by a family for medical treatment, wanted to sell the honorary medals he had won, the Real Madrid club learned about it, and immediately rushed to express his condolences and held a charity match for Puskas.

The star-studded Galactic Battleship sailed into Budapest, where Real Madrid's superstars gained popularity and reputation before departing in style.

Under the guise of Puskas, the ticket income of the charity competition was close to 100,000 US dollars, but in the hands of Puskas's family, it was not even a tenth!

The following year, Puskas died.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid is here to put on a show, otherwise, why would they not even confirm the medical expenses that Puskas needs the most?

Every year, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on transfer fees to build the "Galaxy Battleship", but they are stingy with the great feats of the club's number one and a pitiful medical expenses.

Real Madrid seems to have forgotten who made them so noble!

Before the fifties, even though Real Madrid was born in the Golden Nest, they were born with aristocratic blood, but their record did not make them very good and noble, that is, in the fifties, the European Champions Cup five consecutive championships, so that they could stand tall like a giant in Europe, and in that most glorious five-consecutive championship period, Puskas was an important contributor to the last two consecutive championships, and after Puskas joined Real Madrid, he brought Real Madrid five consecutive league championships and four consecutive league top scorers, Still the fourth-highest scorer in Real Madrid's history, Raul is trying to catch up, Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet grown up, and there are only three people ahead of Puskas: Di Stefano, Santilana, Sanchez.

This year's 95/96 season, Real Madrid fans should count on their fingers, this is the 30th year of their absence from the Champions League!

Thirty years ago, when that glorious period ended, Puskas was still on the team.

What Real Madrid can show off now is only the glory of that period.

But that's it, Puskas is just a pawn for their global commercialization in a decade.

And when they show off their history, they still talk about Puskas.

Aldridge, who has lived for almost 50 years, has already seen through the vicissitudes of the world, football is never perfect, it is full of betrayal, indifference, hatred, and it is not uncommon to turn his face faster than a book, but he is not a saint, and he still can't deal with it calmly.

Even if now because of Aldrich's appearance, he will not let history repeat itself, but he always has a fire in his heart, and it took him a long time to calm this flame, he can't do it, there's no need!

He wants Puskash to get the best treatment and make his family more comfortable, which is far more meaningful than endless hatred.

When he returned to the hospital after breakfast, Aldrich saw a slender young man of twenty-five or sixteen years of age, with a scholarly head and glasses that made him even more stunned.

"Najib!"

Aldrich whispered outside the door.

Naji-Sandhur turned his head and looked at Aldrich in surprise, then walked up to him, stretched out his hand, and said solemnly: "I didn't expect you to actually come." ”

The international letter was sent by Nagy to Aldridge, a member of the coaching staff of the Hungarian national team, with whom he worked for half a year, and Aldridge's only friend in Hungary other than Puskas.

Aldrich didn't shake Najib's outstretched hand, but gave him a hug and said angrily: "It makes me sad when you say that, I am such a ruthless and unrighteous person in your eyes?" ”

Najib sighed and said honestly, "No, because you're busy, I think even if you come, it will be in mid-September." ”

Aldridge suddenly realized that mid-September was a FIFA match day, and he had more free time.

The two chatted in the hallway about Puskas's illness, and then the conversation turned to football.

"It is difficult to return, the foundation of youth training in China needs to be rebuilt, Hungary has completely disappeared from the football map, and the teacher's generation is the most glorious future."

Najib's tone was very sad.

Hungarian football is declining, and it is impossible to create a strong team in the national system as it did half a century ago, and the world is changing, football is becoming more scientific, and it is not possible to draw a strong talent from the army to become strong quickly.

Aldridge patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "You can't change anything, really, football is a bottom-up game, without a good foundation, there is no good superstructure, come back to London with me, to be honest, only you know my football philosophy best, we work together, we can create an unimaginable future." ”

Nagy seems to be a nerd, but he seems to have inherited the genes of Hungarian café football culture half a century ago, he is a tactical maniac, he can work tirelessly with Aldridge to study tactics all night, he is a complete theoretical researcher, but his character is destined to not be able to command a senior team, because he is boring, he can talk about tactics in the first place, but he lacks the most important point of football: passion.

"I'll make a decision next month."

Najib said softly.

Aldrich figured it out after a moment's thought.

Nagy is staying in Hungary with the best hope of staying in Hungary.

Euro 96 qualifiers came to the last moment, Hungary in the same group with Switzerland, Sweden, Iceland, Turkey, and Hungary is in a very bad situation, there is only a theoretical hope of qualifying, if the next game against Turkey can not win, then the hope of qualifying for the European Championship is shattered.

Aldrich nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply next month." ”

If Nagy can help him, Aldridge feels that this is like a tiger with wings, although Nagy does not have the talent to command the senior team, but he has the ability to train and implement the football philosophy, teaching young players that patience and vision, Aldridge is ashamed of himself, at least, he himself can not take the trouble to correct the bad habits of the players, in Aldrich's view, the players show, he can play as he can, bad habits can't be changed, he has no time to correct each other one-on-one, the first team manager is not a youth coach, It's not about teaching players how to play, it's about making players who can play football play team football.

After another day in Budapest, Aldrich paid for Puskas's medical bills and then began to contact the best hospital in England, and he wanted to do everything in his power to get the best medical care for the old man.

When he returned to London on Wednesday, he made his way to the north-eastern Lincolnshire town of Crisops, where Millwall headed to Blundell Park to take on League Cup rivals Grimsby.
