Alas, Evergrande was blocked out of the quarterfinals, and I am looking forward to watching Evergrande fight Real Madrid at the end of the year, there is no play. Has Evergrande changed its name to Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Team now? The commentary of Yang 5 shouted so, and the two giants watched the game at the scene, but unfortunately Ma Yun raised his arms and cheered, and Elkeson missed the penalty

Aldridge to Andrew is doing what politicians often do.

Use external pressure to unite internal people's hearts.

Just as some heads of state use wars or national security crises to provoke unprecedented national unity and support.

The media on Fleet Street, with Millwall's mouthpiece, couldn't move these networks, but it wasn't difficult to find an intermediary to contact the gunman to attack Millwall.

Aldridge doesn't want to shout slogans at the team over and over again, once you can, twice you can, no more, it will make the team "immune".

He believes that too much praise from the outside world has begun to have the opposite effect on Millwall, weakening Millwall's soft power.

This situation is common for a single player, a player who is not too mentally tough, and some players begin to get carried away after being praised for a few words, and Millwall has been praised for two years! No matter how strong the team's resistance is, there is also a tendency to lose the fortress quickly.

After talking to Andrew about it, Aldridge received a call from Boas.

The search for a substitute goalkeeper has paid off.

According to Aldrich's requirements, there are actually very few options available.

The main goalkeeper of a first-tier club is basically impossible.

In fact, you can only find those outdated old goalkeepers.

The young star of hope has no experience, and no one can predict what will happen to the table. The goalkeeper position is very special. It is difficult to maintain quality assurance in the team. Unless he usurped the throne at the right time, like Casillas, or Buffon, who rose to fame at a young age.

Aldrich greeted his family and drove back to the club.

At Christmas, it is estimated that there is only one day to rest, but because of the goalkeeper problem, he still has to work overtime, return to the club and the coaching staff and transfer back to the department to operate the winter transfer.

With Christmas games coming to an end, Millwall have three league games to play in the coming week. In fact, it is 4 English league games in 1o days!

Aldridge returned to the club and worked with the club's goalkeeper coach to study the information compiled by Boas.

Boas could not recommend many candidates, and the number one he thought was the most reliable was named Pagliuca.

Aldrich was overwhelmed when he heard Boas's recommendation, and he had really forgotten about this brother.

Is Pagliuca famous? Of course!

But in Aldridge's memory, I really can't remember this person, in this life, when he met Inter, Pagliuca was sitting on the bench, and Peruzzi played. Millwall's coaching staff studied the opposition and automatically ignored the opposing goalkeeper.

Right now. Pagliuca has left Inter to play for Bologna, and Millwall will not meet him in Europe.

Aldridge watched the video while flipping through the number of fields that Boas had sorted out.

In Italy, Pagliuca was criticized for a period of time before for being indecent, which is understandable, because it is a country where defense is an art, and any mistake by the goalkeeper will be infinitely magnified.

Pagliuca may not be able to analyse the ball as accurately as Peruzzi, save penalties as Miraculously as Toldo, or direct the whole team as Schmeichel did.

But he is a goalkeeper who has swung the basic requirements of a goalkeeper to the extreme, with a heavy sword without a blade, and what is shown in front of the world is a sense of immediacy called majesty.

The 34-year-old goalkeeper still has fighting spirit and calmness, and the fearlessness of saving is what Aldridge appreciates, you know, the goalkeeper is often his face and the opponent's foot to keep the same height, and reasonable and legal to be shot by people, the first point that excellent goalkeepers have to overcome is the sense of human self-protection, conditioned reflex - the awareness of avoiding danger, it just so happens that Pagliuca is typical in this regard!

When looking at Pagliuca's number jù, Aldridge noticed that when the club counts the player table, the position of the goalkeeper is not simply a list of how many saves and how successful the success rate is, but the different numbers in different situations can better reflect the comprehensive level of the player, such as the average distance of the goalball, the success rate of passes, the success rate of attacking judgments, and so on.

Pagliuca had a number that Aldrich was surprised by.

The melee in front of the goal ends the success rate of the opponent's attack!

It's an important statistic, especially for a team of Millwall's level.

Their opponents, the conventional attack is difficult to penetrate their defence, and the highest percentage of goals conceded comes from chaos, especially in the chaos of the penalty area, such as the opponent playing a second attack, or the ball has an unexpected refraction and falls into the danger zone of the penalty area, in which case the manager cannot criticize the team's defense, because it seems to be an unexpected chaos.

Aldrich thought of Pagliuca's height of 1.9 meters, plus a weight of 87 kilograms, brave and fearless, to be honest, when one person looks at another person, the subconscious will make the eyes like it more and more!

Although the most recent memories of this man have surfaced as Pirlo, and in the negative, Pirlo once played Pagliuca with a spoon on a penalty, which angered the Bologna players, and when Pirlo went to celebrate his goal, he was warned by the opponent and pushed in the head

But Aldrich also remembers sporadic comments about Pagliuca's entire career schedule, and there was such a passage that was very vivid.

Pagliuka is like the inoffensive Tai Sui in the forbidden area, whoever underestimates him is bound to pay a heavy price, Pagliuka, who is persistent and tenacious and brave in the face of every impact, four words are enough to sum up: Standing Tai Sui!

"That's it!"

Aldridge made a final decision, and at the same time glanced at the names of the other candidates, no matter how you look at it, it is not as satisfactory as Pagliuca.

In particular, Pagliuca is 34 years old, and he came to the team at this age. It must not be a replacement for Bout. It will make Bout not think cranky when recuperating from his injuries.

The team's goalkeeper coach has no objections. Looking at these candidates, Pagliuca's experience, strength, and undoubted technical characteristics are not as distinctive as god-level goalkeepers, but there are no serious flaws, this person has practiced the basic skills to the best.

Jenson frowned slightly: "In the middle of the season, I suddenly have to poach the main goalkeeper of a mid-table team in Serie A. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. ”

"Let's make a quote first."

Aldrich doesn't want to waste time, whether it will work out or not, let's talk about it first.

Millwall made an offer to Bologna for £3oo0,000 for Pagliuca.

Bologna's reply the next day was: Not for sale! Resolutely do not buy!

Pagliuca's return to Bologna is to contribute to his hometown team, and the team will sell him for 3oo thousand, which is also too ruthless.

Millwall's second offer, £4oo million.

Bologna replied: Not for sale.

The not-for-sale label has been torn off.

There are many wealthy clubs in Serie A, but not every club has a natural economic geography and a broad owner to act as a backstage.

Millwall's third offer that afternoon, £5oo million!

It's calm on the British side. But the news came from the Apennines.

Presumably the news leaked out of Bologna's internal transfer discussions.

Fleet Street heard the news, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.

Millwall's main goalkeeper is injured. The substitute goalkeeper is absolutely untrustworthy with the mistake against Manchester United, and the second half of the season is more crucial than the first half.

Millwall sent Bologna a £6oo0,000 fax on the third day, the fourth offer.

Bologna's side finally relented: we can sit down and talk slowly.

Aldridge lamented the cunning of the Serie A team.

The outside world knows that Millwall is looking for a goalkeeper, and since they have fallen in love with Pagliuca, there is no reason for Bologna not to take advantage of the fire!

The winter transfer window is about to open and close in a month, and at the same time, the registration for the second half of the Champions League season will also be reported to UEFA in February, so how can Millwall have time to talk to each other slowly?

However, now that Bologna's attitude has changed from not selling to being able to sit down and talk, Aldridge will not talk nonsense and let the club make one last offer: 85o million pounds!

Sell, we negotiate directly with the players.

Don't sell, let's just look for other replacements.

For a 34-year-old goalkeeper, Millwall's offer is already full of sincerity.

The Italian transfer market is traded in the US dollar, which is now gradually being replaced by the euro, and the British pound recovered strongly in the second half of 2ooo, rising to 1.5 against the US dollar from below 1.4 in September, in other words, Millwall is buying Pagliuca for almost $130,000.

If Bologna doesn't sell, there will definitely be no cash return on Pagliuca, after all, in another year, Pagliuca will enter the age of the countdown to retirement.

Aldridge didn't know what was going on on the Italian side, and every time Millwall made an offer, the Italian media would be the first to get the news, as if the media had planted a microphone inside Bologna.

When Fleet Street got the news, he thought Millwall was sick.

Spending almost £10 million on a 34-year-old backup goalkeeper?

Millwall, who has always been stingy in the transfer market, what's the matter? Won't you spend money if you have money?

Aldridge complained a few words within the club, but the club's transfer staff answered his questions.

The news must have been leaked by the Bologna club for the first time.

The purpose, very simple, is to make Pagliuca tempted.

Pagliuca moved to Bologna in the summer because he wanted to play for his hometown team and squander his spare heat, and the club now wants to make a fortune when they see the money, so of course they can't send him away ruthlessly.

Present Millwall's increased offer again and again, the interest in him, the offensive launched, the sincerity, the enthusiasm, etc., to him through the media, let Pagliuca have a psychological impact first, and then the club will talk to Pagliuca.

Selling him and making a profit is also a contribution to his hometown team.

When Aldridge led the team to play the British Express campaign, the club had sent a negotiation team to Italy to negotiate a transfer with Pagliuca, and the transfer fee agreement between the clubs had been reached, and finally Millwall still gave in, 9oo million pounds, which is equivalent to about 1.35 million US dollars.

Pagliuca is in a hesitant and awkward position, the club has already "betrayed" him, he is not leaving, staying? But if he goes to play in London, it will be about the change of his whole family life, and it will certainly not be short-lived, so he must be careful about this decision.

Aldridge made a personal phone call to Pagliuca the day before the winter transfer window opened.

Inform the other party of the status of the team first.

In the second half of the season, he came as the main goalkeeper.

Later, after Bout recovers from injury, if Bout is in good shape, Pagliuka will play as a substitute, Millwall will give the substitute goalkeeper about 1o to 15 games of playing time every season, and if the main goalkeeper is not in good shape, the substitute goalkeeper will have more opportunities.

In the end, Aldridge invited Pagliuca with sincerity, at least Millwall has Italian elements, there are many Italian players in the team, and the team environment will not make Pagliuca feel lonely.

Pagliuca signed his contract on January 1, the day the transfer window opened, and is expected to report to Millwall in 10 days, with the English League scheduled to show on the 14th. (To be continued......)
