881 Thou eighteen, he thirty-two

Thanks to the tips of "Thief Dead", "Qingqing Little Wolf", "Jiexi", "Emper", "Sunset East" and "Plum Ball King"! ――

The four-year green feast has come to an end, a few joys and a few sorrows, indispensable to the sighs after the heroic halberd sinks into the sand, and the emotion that the heroes are no longer heroic, and there is no shortage of amazing new generation of geniuses.

The 26-year-old young coach Aldridge has become the focus of the world, even more so than the "traditional powerhouse" England, which won the championship after 36 years of flowering.

Because he has set a series of records that may not come later, because he covered the sky with one hand to make European football bow down, because he was also admonished by the whole England team, and finally changed his mind and continued to stay in the coach of the England team.

What makes the world pay special attention to it is that after the World Cup, the young marshal has not appeared in the public eye.

He signed a two-year contract with the FA and promised to step down after another major cycle, and he will never renew his new contract when it ends.

Continuing to work with the FA, the young coach has no utilitarian considerations, but is simply impressed by the sincerity of the whole team.

When the England national team triumphed in London, every member of the team was embraced by the people like heroes, received by the prime minister, met the queen, and toured the royal palace, but Aldridge did not appear in the ranks.

The young marshal came to China with his family, visited the three mountains and five mountains, walked the Great Wall, looked at the rivers, lakes and seas, there was nothing to visit in the hustle and bustle of the city, and the family lingered in the natural scenery.

It's just that this trip with a family is not chic. Occasionally, it will be recognized by Chinese fans. Occasionally, he would be harassed by complaining phone calls from Millwall players. The players in China and Millwall are also all over the world, and the jet lag is different, and they often wake up in the middle of the night and listen to the players in a daze, and they don't sleep well when they are on vacation.

Compared with the departure of managers from other clubs, the situation that happened at Millwall is very special, and it is because of Aldridge's special existence that he did not leave Millwall. is still the owner of Millwall, and replaces Arthur as club chairman in the new season, no one will have to go to the club.

There were certainly complaints in the dressing room, but given this particular circumstance, it was hard to say that the relationship with Aldrich was the end of the story.

Klinsmann, who took over as head coach, more or less made everyone have some suspicions, nothing more than whether this gentleman can have Aldridge's coaching ability, but taking a step back and looking at football, who will replace Aldridge without being suspicious in the dressing room? Klinsmann had been working with the group for a few years, so he was slightly better psychologically accepted.

July 1. Millwall officially held a press conference, and Klinsmann officially took office. At the same time, it was announced that assistant coach Jensen had resigned, Jensen originally planned to go elsewhere to set up his own door, but Aldridge failed to withdraw from the England team, and he was also forced to stay by Aldridge, the coaching staff of the England national team has been separated from the Millwall coaching staff, the new coaching team of the national team, Aldrich gave authority to Jensen, let him look for candidates, anyway, this job is only done for two years at most, Jensen can get started with a lot of head coach work, just hone in advance, and Aldridge, only responsible for tactical design and on-the-spot command, the rest of the work, all in Jenson's responsibility.

As soon as Klinsmann took office, the Spanish media began to fan the flames.

Barcelona fell in love with Ronaldo, Real Madrid fell in love with Henry, and the La Liga duo made a generous move, and they didn't mind a shocking acquisition.

However, on July 3, Klinsmann brought Henry, Ronaldo, Nedved, Larsson, Southgate, Lampard, Joe Cole, Klose, Ashley Cole, Schneider, Bout, Villa, Neil and other players to renew their contracts The news of successful contract renewal detonated the European football world!

Among them, the three captains of the team signed a 5-year blockbuster contract with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds!

This almost announced that Southgate, Larsson, and Nedved would be the last three lions!

And the mad lion also showed unparalleled sincerity and told the world how they treated their loyal ministers and the old courtiers who accompanied them to conquer the country!

You must know that Manchester United's renewal of Xiaobei's contract is only a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.

As soon as Millwall made a move, they overshadowed Manchester United!

Especially considering that Nedved has not recovered from a serious injury, it is difficult to predict whether he will be able to win the three teams after recovering from the injury, this new contract worth more than 20 million pounds for 5 years has made countless Crazy Lions fans applaud and praise Crazy Lions for being affectionate and righteous!

Fleet Street, on the other hand, lamented that Aldridge was really righteous enough to be the chairman, and sent Buddha to the West, helping Klinsmann pave the way.

Sitting opposite the player's contract renewal is Klinsmann, although the money is Aldridge, Klinsmann can more or less win people's hearts, and at the same time, so many players renewing their contracts, in addition to creating a sensation, another meaning is nothing more than to help Klinsmann increase his popularity and get locker room support, after all, the player gets a new contract, the salary rises, in the Premier League, the head coach has this power.

At this time, the La Liga duo wanted to buy Xiao Luo and Henry, but they didn't make much noise, so they died down.

Millwall's fans breathed a sigh of relief, if Henry and Ronaldo left, Millwall would really drop a notch directly from the world's top level, and they couldn't even rank at the first-class level.

Northern Ireland

By the sea, at dusk, a young man in shorts and shirtless, fishing on the seashore by boat, his friends play on the shore, and when he returns to his hometown in the summer, he will play with his friends on the seaside, or listen to a concert in the city, tap dance, free and romantic but not indulgent.

This is the life he pursues, simple and comfortable, relaxed and comfortable.

When he got back to shore, his friend handed him his phone and said, "It rang twice, we didn't answer." ”

The mobile phone that rang for the third time was held in his hand, looked at the caller ID, and found that it was his agent, he walked to the beach, the slightly cool sea water repeatedly washed the beach, not past the calf, very comfortable.

"David, don't you think about my construction anymore?"

"Andrew, I"

"Listen to me again. For the last time. You stay in Millwall. It's just going to be a substitute, and right now, I've got more than 10 clubs interested in you, and they've all promised to give you a place in the main team, and you're 25. ”

This Northern Irish youth is none other than Millwall's player David Lamor.

Lamor looked at the beautiful scenery of the sunset sinking into the end of the sea, and was stunned.

yes, he's 25.

Substitute again. In this life, he will always be a substitute in a wealthy family, and in a few years, he may not even be able to play as a substitute.

"Andrew, didn't the club give me a new contract? If not, then when the contract expires, I will transfer freely, and if the club puts me on the list, you can sue me. I went back to London to pack my bags. ”

"David, you should think more about yourself. Millwall is a giant, just like the Bernabeu in Madrid, like the Camp Nou in Barcelona, in this kind of place, the success of a genius is to suck the blood of countless geniuses of the same generation! ”

Andrew's tone on the phone was both helpless and heartbroken.

As an agent, as Aldrich's brother, he always thought that he could simply stand in Aldrich's position, but he was wrong, agents are also people, dealing with players, even if they do trivial things for them, they will cultivate feelings.

Millwall has one less Ramour, it is nothing more than looking for a replacement, and Ramour's persistence, what he has lost, may be a golden opportunity to soar, time is like flowing water, it is difficult to recover, and it will never return!

Ramour is a prodigy, who was taken to Anfield by Liverpool at the age of 16, but he fell from the throne of genius into the abyss, without Millwall and Aldrich, where would he be now? The outside world doesn't know, Aldridge knows, but is not sure, it should be obscure, but Ramour himself knows that when he was discouraged, when he encountered a low point in his life, he thought about escaping, wanted to return to his hometown, and just make do with it.

Northern Ireland is also a desert of football, a desert in the map of European football, just when he was about to go from the oasis to the desert, it was Millwall, and it was Aldridge who gave him another choice, so that he could return to Northern Ireland in the years to come, and he could return with a leisure and vacation mentality.

For him, there was no ambition, Millwall needed him, he stayed, Millwall didn't need him, he left to visit Aldridge and Najib's house, then carry his luggage, it didn't matter where he went.

"David, Millwall has a new five-year contract for you, and I don't want you to sign because you're going to be forgotten at Millwall, not remembered by most people, even if you want to be a loyal servant."

"It doesn't matter, when the contract is renewed, you notify me."

"Alas"

Ramour faced the sea for a while, then turned to his friends and excitedly shouted: "I'm going to renew my contract with the team for 5 years, haha, there's a new contract!" ”

As soon as Klinsmann took over, the transfer recruitment work began, but in the eyes of the media, it was just a final transfer for Millwall.

6 million pounds knocked on the door of Groningen in the Netherlands, plus the 2 million pounds deposit they had paid before, a total of 8 million pounds will be the new generation of Dutch Peter Pan Robben Robert, but in the signing process, Robben's father as an agent asked for a high salary and Millwall was a little nervous, and the negotiation almost collapsed and the transfer was aborted

Millwall's second transfer move sent Fleet Street to a collective silence.

Millwall officially activated the special talent clause, one place a year, and last year, they brought in Kaka, proving that the spot is being used for real purposes.

However, this year, the clause was reactivated, and the FA was cleared at the first hearing, which made it clear to the outside world that this was a convenient door for the FA.

Why?

Millwall brought in a Brazilian defender.

Fullback!

That's right, it's the fucking defender.

How can a defender prove that he is not a genius?

This is obviously greasy and treacherous!

But Fleet Street did not fall into the ground, nor did it cause a storm of public opinion, even if everyone knew that this was the FA giving Aldridge face, but no one felt that there was a problem.

The young marshal is now an incomparably lofty existence in the hearts of the English people, and everyone respects him, and he leads the national team part-time to bring back the Hercules Cup.

Moreover, this genius clause is not without loopholes, there is no standard definition of genius, with the eyes of the young marshal to see people, he said that he is a genius, who dares to refute it? Why don't we take a gamble? Three years later, five years later, to decide who wins and who loses?

Only The Sun mocked the FA with a picture without any discipline.

The content of the picture is very simple, a group of people have the FA written on them, and the young marshal points to a pig and says: This is genius.

The words in front of the FA crowd are: Yes, genius!

The Sun's newspaper was spurned by 10,000 people, and even sparked mass protests, and the Sun was meant to mock the FA, but in the eyes of many people, it was also humiliating Aldrich, so it had to be published the next day to apologize.

Who is this talented defender from Brazil?

London Heathrow International Airport.

It rained lightly today, and the two men who walked out of the airport were carrying luggage, the young man in a suit and leather shoes stood side by side with a young man with a dark complexion, the older young man is now a high-ranking figure in the transfer operation team of Millwall Club, named Clayton, who went to France alone to bring Ribery back to Millwall outside the Lille Youth Academy, and this summer, he went to Brazil alone, and brought the boy with a suitcase and a slightly cold backpack on his back to London.

The Brazilian kid has the shabby appearance of a country man entering the city, and he is a little nervous to stand next to Clayton.

He felt as if he was dreaming.

Two years ago, he had no ball to play and was abandoned by a Brazilian club, but a representative of an agent company came to sign him and sent him to a Brazilian club for professional training, and made it clear to him at that time that he would help him land in Europe in the future!

It's just that this landing in Europe, he never thought that it would be a step to the sky!

Straight to the cosmopolitan city of London, about to Millwall!

After a while, a magnificent Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them, the Brazilian kid was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, Clayton patted him on the shoulder after seeing the license plate and smiled: "Don't be nervous, this is here to pick us up." ”

The brazilian kid opened his mouth wide and his face was full of incredulity.

The door opened, and inside sat a man in his mid-thirties, who beckoned to the Brazilian boy, "How's your English?" ”

The Brazilian kid carefully sat in the car while Craig helped him hold the car door, and the man in the car kindly helped him remove the large backpack on his back, at which time he said nervously: "After studying for more than a year, normal communication should be possible." ”

"Hehe, that's good, introduce yourself, my name is Andrew Hall, I signed your agency before and has half of my shares, because you are only 18 years old in September, so you will train in Millwall during this time, and wait for the new contract to take effect in September, but it doesn't matter, Millwall has provided you with a dormitory, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the city today, and introduce you to the local situation, when you are tired, go to the Ritz Hotel for dinner, don't think I'm kind, hehe, I want to be your agent, and now I'm buying you, Thiago."

Although the other party is open and honest, the Brazilian kid is warm in his heart, he thinks that his fate has taken a turn and he can't do without the man in front of him.

As Rolls-Royce drove around the city, Andrew looked out the window and smiled: "Maybe you don't believe it, there is someone who has really high expectations for you, and according to your age and position on the field, maybe you will be one of the top stars in European football in the next 20 years." ”

The Brazilian kid didn't know what to say, it seemed that the expectations of the other party were too high, and in his current situation, most of what others said was bragging or ironic.

Andrew turned his head to look at him and said something that the Brazilian kid didn't understand.

'Thiago Silva, Millwall captain Gareth Southgate, when you turn 18 in September, he's 32. (To be continued......)
