In the back garden of Nevelyn's mansion, Aldrich sat on a swing woven with vines and flowers, smoking and drinking in one hand, and in two hours the dawn would come, and many people in the villa were already staggering to sleep, and he, as fatigue hit, thought about the past season in a daze.

Suddenly, someone sat down beside him, this double swing, two big men sat down, I don't know if there is a problem with the load-bearing, and there is a creaky sound on the hanger.

Andrew lit a cigarette with Aldrich's cigarette butt and asked with a smile, "Why do you feel like you've been smoked dry?" ”

Aldridge smiled wryly and said: "I thought that this season would be easy, and I could spare my energy to be the coach of the national team, but there were a lot of unplanned things. ”

At the beginning of the season, Nedved was seriously injured, although Aldridge replaced him with Klose, but Klose and Nedved are not the same type of players, so they have to spend energy to rebuild an offensive system, Gattuso was suspended for a month halfway, and the thinness of the back position also made him dare not take it lightly, coupled with the rebuilding of the England national team, this season, Aldridge is harder than previous seasons, and he will wake up one day with puffy bags under his eyes, or wake up late, I even have the idea of lying in bed and avoiding work.

Success in football is no different from the rules of success in all walks of life, and hard work is one of the basic conditions.

is like those talented stars of hope, who have talent and don't work hard without sweat, and the end may not even be considered to hurt Zhongyong.

It's the same with the manager.

Andrew couldn't understand Aldrich's frustration, although he also worked hard, he had a lot of room for flexibility, and when he was tired, he could arrange a short-term vacation to relax at any time.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Aldrich kicked his legs slightly. The swing swayed, and he said softly: "Try to reach new heights of glory next season, if the league and the Champions League can continue to defend, I will take the England national team to Asia to play another World Cup, as long as the club's goal is achieved." Regardless of the results of the national team, I plan to step down from the head coach position and spend more time with my family in the future. ”

Andrew's expression was surprised, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense.

If Millwall can continue to do so next season. Aldridge's eight-year reign has seen five English titles, four Champions League titles, four consecutive English titles, three consecutive Champions League titles, and countless other trophies. These eight years of glory are enough to go down in history, and in the next 100 years, people will remember that this is the era of a team, the era of a head coach.

As for Aldridge saying to be with his family, is this an excuse?

Andrew still couldn't understand it. But Aldridge was reincarnated as a human being, adding up to 50 years, he really wants to be with his family in the next few years, especially the two sons are not like a year ago, ignorant and only need adults to take care of, they can now say that they can run, and they need more care and education from adults, Aldrich does not feel that this is a burden, because with his family, he is really carefree. Be happy.

Hearing Aldridge say this, Andrew couldn't speak.

Aldridge saw Andrew's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, so he smiled and said: "Just say anything, it's nothing more than other giants who want to poach my players." ”

Andrew nodded, it was not hard to guess.

Quite a few of Millwall's players are two-timers. The three-time players who dominated Europe have reached an absolutely undoubted height of strength, and other giants may have concerns before, but now, the only question is: whether to buy it or not!

"Aldrich, did you foresee this day a long time ago? I and you, there will be a conflict of interest and stand on opposite sides. ”

Aldrich tilted his head and smiled, but did not speak.

Andrew has been helping him to find players, but one day, the two brothers will be clearly opposed at the negotiating table, and this day has finally arrived, and in the future, the struggle between such antagonists will become more and more fierce.

"Real Madrid will offer 4ooo million pounds in the summer, Henry, Ronaldinho, choose one of the two, and the weekly salary has reached 100000 pounds. Andrea Pirlo, the top three in northern Italy, offers £3ooo million, a weekly salary, between £80,000 and £100,000. I won't talk about the other players, whether it's the transfer fee or the salary, I have to talk to you, otherwise, I can't get along in the agent business. ”

This conversation was something that made Andrew feel uncomfortable inside.

As an agent, he is all about asking for higher income and better treatment for the players.

The broker must also be very realistic.

It can't be said that a player's ability to win the title at Millwall will offset a loss of interests, if he does this, the player is not stupid, he makes a million pounds less a year, five million in five years, about four or five million pounds less on a contract, who will be happy?

A champion is a champion, and income is income.

What's more, after winning the championship in Millwall, the desire for the championship will be relatively low compared to before, and of course I want to get a higher return on my income, which is human.

Millwall's wage bill is already the highest in the England, but they can't give all their key players the highest salary, and if that were the case, the club's operating income would not be able to cover the wage bill all season.

Aldrich is rich, but not to the point of being rich, and his eldest brother's company has his shares, which is now converted to almost 4o billion pounds.

But if he runs a club and puts money into it every year, will he be happy? No one wants to have less and less money in their hands.

And other big clubs, even if they can't give Millwall the top salary to all the main players, but it is still no problem to poach a good player of Millwall and give a top salary.

The top three in northern Italy are willing to give Pirlo a weekly salary of 100,000, and if Millwall wants to raise Pirlo's salary to 100,000, the entire salary system must be greatly increased, and Nedved and they must also raise their salary, otherwise? Is it reasonable that the soul of the team, the spiritual leader on the field, is not the highest-paid player? The disparity in the internal salary structure is even greater. It's easy to create chaos in the dressing room.

Andrew cannot turn a blind eye to the offers made by these clubs.

Pirlo's weekly salary at Millwall is only £50,000, which is almost less than £70,000 if you count the loyalty bonus, how can you convince the player not to be tempted as an agent? Change a hundred brokers. A hundred agents will put pressure on the club to either raise their salaries or release them!

Henry's transfer turmoil before the season also stemmed from this, Juventus privately gave Henry a salary of more than 70,000 pounds, and Henry got the information from his original agent. Millwall only gave 30,000, how could this not make him chill?

Millwall's current situation can be divided into two situations, one is that the player has absolute loyalty to the club, and as long as the club does not do the right thing, the player will refuse the temptation. Players like Nedved, Larsson, Ronaldo, they can be loyal without reservation.

Another situation is that the player is not determined to stay for a long time due to competition or life reasons, so when there is an olive branch in line with the player's long-term life plan in the future. It was a logical opportunity for them to leave.

Aldridge never thought that Italian players such as Pirlo and Gattuso could end their careers at Millwall, and when they got married and took charge of their own business, they would return to Italy and show in an environment they were more familiar with, which is also human, but unfortunately it is not ten years later, when Serie A decays to the stage where stars flee, Italian players will go abroad to earn money and get more lucrative returns.

Before, when AC Milan brought in reinforcements and shouted "Mr. X". Aldridge heard the news from Andrew, and Italian players such as Pirlo, Gattuso, Zambrotta and others are already considering returning to China to play.

Build out of the team in the long run. The growth of players such as Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Marcos Alonso could fill the void left after their departure, and while it won't be seamless, it's not a blind situation at least.

The only concern is the centre-back position.

"Since I'm thinking about retiring at the end of next season, then next season, I need the team to be absolutely stable, Andrew, this summer, I can't sell a main player, they only renewed their contract last year, they have to go, wait another season, and let me arrange for the club to have a preparation process for the future, I won't make it difficult for you, the players personally, I will convince them."

"If you leave Millwall manager, I'm afraid"

"I'm afraid of what? Will Millwall's results plummet? ”

"Hmm."

"I don't think so. In the past seven years, the club has established a well-established youth training system, there are channels to attract young players around the world, the club is financially healthy, as long as I stick to the tradition I have built, it is normal for the results to have ups and downs, but it will definitely be among the giants. ”

Aldridge is still confident in this.

Millwall operates in a virtuous cycle, as the football market becomes more and more mature, Millwall can obtain more and more commercial benefits, and the club's long-term financial foundation is relatively stable.

As for Aldridge's retirement from the head coach and only being the owner, he does not expect to make money from the club, as long as he does not invest money, he is satisfied.

Sounds incredible, if you don't invest money, is the team's record guaranteed?

Yes, contemporary football is going through a frenzy of money.

The club itself makes very little money, but there are not many businessmen who make money, that is, financing and listing, and using the methods of the financial circle to circle money.

And only clubs with a certain scale of commercialization can achieve their own profits, such as Manchester United, now Millwall, even Real Madrid can not compare, Florentino into Real Madrid, is also crazy to build the Real Madrid brand, shaping a new Real Madrid brand value.

British fans have scolded the Edwards family for nearly half a century, believing that it has turned a simple football club of Manchester United into a nondescript investment commodity, but it is undeniable that the success of Manchester United is inseparable from the Edwards family's extreme respect for commercialization and mining the market value of Manchester United. Having earned an astronomical fortune from Manchester United, Manchester United also has a good record.

Millwall have been at the top of European clubs' annual earnings for the past few years, reaching the top several times.

But the outside world believes that Millwall's income is huge, and it is all earned from selling players.

That could be a big reversal this season, with Millwall themselves not selling many first-team players, with only Claude Makelele leaving last season, and they still have to spend on signings.

The revenue statistics for this season are yet to be out, but Millwall's ascension to the top is no suspense.

They have a new stadium, ticket revenue has increased significantly, and the operating income generated by the commercial chain around the new stadium is almost a new part of the income, in the past, their stadium periphery, there is no industry that belongs to Millwall, plus the stadium record, broadcast fees, European tickets, bonuses, top sponsorship income of the new season and new grade, etc., Millwall's pure operating income is enough to ensure that they are the first in Europe, and even the world's club income.

In the era when the whole society is about to enter the Internet era and the explosion of information dissemination, Millwall seized the opportunity, combined with the results of the stadium, Aldridge spent 7 years, made the market development results accumulated by other clubs in 10, 20 or even 30 years, grabbed the cake, divided the cake, and laid a solid foundation for the club's long-term development.

With a feeling for Millwall, Aldrich not only wanted to make a name for himself, but also built the cornerstone of Millwall's wealth.
