Although Eindhoven is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands, it is not less famous in Europe because the city is one of the high-tech clusters in Europe.

In the early morning, the quiet city is like a calm lake, bringing people a peaceful spiritual enjoyment before the traffic makes impetuous ripples.

In an ordinary apartment, with a few suitcases on the floor of the living room, the blonde young man who was about to turn 19 sat on the sofa with a blank face, he glanced at his feet from time to time, his eyes were full of confusion and panic.

He bent down, held his head in his hands, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth full of unwillingness.

Three years ago, he moved to the Netherlands to join Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven.

Two years ago, at the age of 17, he made his debut in the Champions League, against the Spanish supergiant, Cruyff's Barcelona!

Now, two years later, he was abandoned by PSV Eindhoven and his contract was terminated!

It all stemmed from his injured ankle, and PSV Eindhoven's team doctors were helpless and eventually gave up on the hopeful.

Wow

The young man's father came down from upstairs, holding the last suitcase.

The father is still a footballer and one of the most famous players in their country, but their country is not even second-rate on the European football map: Iceland.

A country with a population of only about 200,000 today.

The father saw his son holding his head in pain, he put down his suitcase and walked to his son, and suddenly found his son's tears dripping down his chin and falling to the floor.

"Eduar, you have to be strong! Be strong! We go back to Iceland. You will surely make those who abandoned you regret it! Don't do that. You're a man."

The father hugged his son's head and comforted him. But his eyes were moist.

The Icelandic youngster was tormented by injuries, and his termination from the team was a heavy blow.

He came to the Netherlands from Iceland and is now going back, which will undoubtedly have a huge impact on his career, especially since he is about to turn 19 and is at the most critical stage of his career development.

About the dream of football, is it over?

Knock knock

There was a knock on the door.

The father calmed down and went to open the door. The young man also hurriedly wiped away his tears.

When the father opened the door, he saw two handsome young men standing outside the door.

"Excuse me, is this Gudjohnsen's home?"

Aldrich saw that the person who opened the door was a man approaching middle age, so he asked with a polite smile.

"Who are you?"

The father stared thoughtfully at Aldridge's face, and before Aldridge could report himself, he was surprised: "If I'm not mistaken, you're Millwall's manager, Mr. Hall, right?" ”

The European Cup Winners' Cup only came to an end in the Netherlands half a month ago, and the championship effect at Millwall has not yet dissipated.

Aldrich felt a little smug in his heart: hehe. That's the good thing about a championship coach, even though not all the street peddlers know him. At least in the football circle, we are not unknown.

He was smug in his heart, but his face was natural, and he nodded: "That's right, I'm Aldrich Hall, this is my brother Andrew Hall, may I ask who you are?" ”

"My name is Knoll Goodjohnsen, what are you looking for me?"

Old Goodjohnsen thought that the other party was looking for him, but Aldrich looked into the room and saw Edul Goodjohnsen on the sofa looking towards him, with a curious expression.

Aldrich was sure he had found the right person.

Because Gudjohnsen's physical characteristics are very obvious, especially the eyebrows are light gold.

Aldrich stretched out his finger and pointed at little Goodjohnsen and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm here for him." ”

Old Goodjohnsen looked back and wondered, "Looking for my son?" What's the matter? ”

Andrew and Aldridge had been standing outside the door, still carrying duffel bags in their hands, and he had to interject, "Sir, could we please come in and sit down and talk?" ”

Old Gudjohnsen reacted immediately, stepped out of the way, opened the door wide, and extended his hand to invite them into the house.

Aldridge shook hands with Gudjohnsen Jr. and then sat down on the single couch, with Gudjohnsen and his son sitting side by side and Andrew standing next to Aldrich.

"I'll just get it straight, I heard that Eduer is already a free agent, I, as the manager of Millwall, want to invite him to join my team, Eduar, are you interested in playing in London?"

Aldrich got straight to the point, and as soon as the words fell, Goodjohnsen and his son had different expressions, the father frowned and hesitated slightly, and the son's eyes lit up but became gloomy.

For a moment, there was silence in the room.

At last it was little Gudjohnsen himself who spoke with difficulty: "Thank you, Mr. Hall, for your appreciation, and I am glad that Millwall is able to extend an invitation to me, but I must tell you the truth. ”

Aldridge spread his hands and said, "Have you already reached an agreement with other teams?" ”

Gudjohnsen Jr. shook his head and said: "I was terminated by PSV Eindhoven because I had an ankle injury and repeated injuries that prevented me from playing and training was not guaranteed. ”

When Aldrich heard this, he asked rhetorically, "So what? ”

His tone was light-hearted, but old Gudjohnsen was furious, and he said angrily, "Mr. Hall! You haven't played and you don't understand the torture of injuries on players! ”

Aldridge made a downward gesture to signal everyone not to get excited.

He said calmly: "I don't think it's a big problem, if you have a disease, you can treat it, and it's the same for everyone, and if you can't cure this hospital, you will go to the second one." Maybe you've heard of Millwall as an English club, a team that won the treble last year, but you don't know us, and I can proudly claim that Millwall has the best medical facilities in the world's sports clubs, our medical team ensures the health of the players, we have partnerships with many top medical institutions in Europe and the United States, we are open and cautious in dealing with injuries, we don't try to hide the conditions of our players. Nor will unprofessionals be used as team doctors. When encountering a condition that cannot be diagnosed internally. We will seek more professional help. I have faith in Eduar, and even more so in my own team's medical team, and if you suspect that I'm talking big, then we can sign the contract first, so if I go back, I'll have to pay the liquidated damages. ”

Goodjohnsen and his son were speechless, and they looked at each other. Somehow, the young marshal in front of him, who was full of confidence from head to toe, had a convincing magic in the words that came out of his mouth.

Not only have Millwall won five trophies in the past two years, but they are also known in Europe for their youth teams, which have a reputation for youth teams, but it's another matter to make a name for themselves.

Aldridge did that, and Millwall became one of the best options for young players to get ahead.

Little Gudjohnsen didn't think long before he stood up and said to Aldrich, "Mr. Hall, I accept your invitation. ”

Aldrich stood up and shook his hand, smiling, "Call me head in the future." ”

"Good. Good head. Boss"

Gudjohnsen Jr. was still a little uncomfortable, because it looked like Aldridge was about the same age as him, and even because of Aldrich's handsome and clean face, Aldridge looked younger than him.

The Hall brothers and Gudjohnsen then enjoyed a pleasant lunch in Eindhoven, and the gloom of the father and son cleared up a little, at least without having to go back to Iceland to make a comeback.

And Gudjohnsen Jr.'s departure from PSV Eindhoven to join Premier League upstart Millwall can be regarded as a big step in the development of his career, but the future development trajectory still needs his own efforts.

Because Gudjohnsen was tormented by injuries in the second half of last season, did not play, and the training was not systematic, so he did not need to take a vacation, and flew to London in the afternoon of the same day, Aldridge greeted the club and ordered someone to meet the father and son at the airport, and then, Gudjohnsen will directly undergo a medical examination, if the ankle injury can be cured in the short term, then he can directly receive light training in the team, Jensen stayed at the club this summer, just waiting to receive many new players.

Aldridge's trip in the Netherlands has come to an end, Van der Meyde and Gudjohnsen can join to supplement the striker, plus the previously finalized Duff and Ronaldo will enter the first team next season, Aldridge has at least replenished the number of strikers after the departure of the two substitute strikers, but it takes a while for the arrival of newcomers to adapt, they are not the main force, as long as it is not for a large number of injuries in the early stages of the new season, Millwall's forward lineup is basically not much of a problem.

But Aldridge was not satisfied, and his next stop was Germany.

Millwall have Trezeguet and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the centre-forward position, but neither of them is the perfect centre-forward for Aldridge's tactics, as neither of them is particularly good at playing the ball to their teammates.

In his mind, the center forward who fits Millwall's tactical system perfectly, is the main goal of his trip to Germany!

Kaiserslautern, Germany

The year before, the city was in a state of grief and Kaiserslautern was relegated, but this year, the city is refreshed again because of the successful promotion of Kaiserslautern and full of hope for next season.

Next season is destined to be the greatest moment in Kaiserslautern's history, as they staged the myth of a promoted horse to win the championship.

However, Aldridge's trip to Kaiserslautern is not interested in the most famous team here.

He and Andrew arrived at the amateur football club near Kaiserslautern on June 1st: Didelkopf.

Amateur clubs naturally don't have much money, and team training and matches take place in places that resemble public stadiums.

The club's office is an ordinary small building that no one cares about.

Aldridge was treated as a guest of honour when he arrived for Millwall.

£100,000 is unimaginable for an amateur club, buying and selling people in the transfer market at their level, a few thousand pounds, one or two thousand pounds is about the same.

£100,000 is astronomical in their eyes!

The club manager received Aldridge and directly agreed to the transfer offer, they had no room for bargaining at all, if the lion opened his mouth with the mentality of sitting on the ground and leaving with Aldridge brushing his sleeves away, they would not have time to cry.

Aldridge waited patiently in the small reception room, and after a while, the club manager walked into the reception room with a player.

Looking at the tall, thin and handsome young man, Aldrich stood up and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and smile: "Hello, Miroslav Klose. (To be continued......)
