Thank you for the tips from "Death of the Thief" and "Mingix"! ——

Returning to London with the UEFA Champions League trophy has not only stimulated the Millwall fans, but also the two neighbours.

Chelsea snatched the European Cup Winners' Cup a few days ahead of schedule, while Arsenal beat Newcastle United to secure the season's double.

After many years of hard work by these two clubs, suddenly the waist hardened and they were able to show off the trophy, but the hated dead neighbor Millwall actually came back with the supreme big ears cup in Europe!

London fans are proud.

In this year, English football has nothing to do with Liverpool and Manchester, with three trophies in domestic competitions, two of which were collected by Arsenal and one won by Millwall, and the European Champions Cup, which has the highest European influence, was also won by Millwall, and Chelsea won this award as an English team after Millwall won the European Cup Winners' Cup last year.

London is not only the focus of English football, but also of European football.

This makes Fleet Street even more arrogant: English football is back at the top!

After a week of a series of activities such as the huge parade to win the championship, the celebrations at home, and the interaction with the fans, the players finally packed up and went home, and some went directly to the national team to report for the World Cup in France.

Millwall's management hasn't gone on holiday yet, and CEO Adam is busy dealing with sponsors, not just old contracts to renew. New sponsors are also coming. Conservative estimate before the start of the new season. Millwall will have more than 20 business partners and sponsorship revenues will more than triple last year.

The new sponsorship for the team's chest advertisement has been finalised, Standard Chartered has beaten all competitors, and Puma's jersey sponsorship has been successfully agreed with a doubling of the contract.

Millwall is thriving, driving commercial value growth with excellent results, while their tireless promotion and excellent results are beginning to reap the rewards.

The number of registered members on the official website alone has exceeded 300,000, and the club has also received letters from fan organizations in other countries. Help them set up a Millwall-approved team foreign website.

This year is the year of the World Cup, Aldridge, as a football insider, does not want to stay in the UK, especially London, because he will be harassed, invited to some programs, and even invited live commentators, post-match reviews and interviews, etc., the big newspapers are self-aware and will not stick to you like a dog skin plaster. But the tabloids are different, those paparazzi are always annoying, and you have to say a few words before you stop. And then the next day will do it again.

Carter invited Aldrich to take a trip to Switzerland in the summer, and Aldrich thought about it and agreed, but it was not time for him to leave, it was a group trip, and Aldrich would bring some friends with him.

Leo Training Base.

The youth team didn't have a holiday, but the training was more relaxed in the summer.

Some homesick players have been allowed to take a leave of absence to return to their hometowns.

Aldridge and Andrew stood on the sidelines of the deserted court, watching the 7-V7 half-time match.

Now the way the young players look at Aldridge has changed.

It used to be respect, now it's awe.

Aldridge also doesn't know what children like Aguero, Messi, and Ronaldo are afraid of him.

It is estimated that they won the Champions League, and the coaching level has improved a lot all of a sudden, which makes them involuntarily afraid of Aldridge.

Inside the stadium are a group of Under-15 junior teams playing for Millwall, who will represent Millwall in the inaugural Millwall Charity Cup after the World Cup, led by 13-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo and 15-year-old De Rossi.

Watching Ronaldo play football makes people anxious.

Ronaldo is very strong in training, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he just likes to be the protagonist, but his ability is absolutely crushing among his peers, so he has jumped to the U16 echelon in his usual training and trains with players under the age of 16.

There are a lot of faults that he has to get rid of.

One of them is that he likes to play in his own way.

In layman's terms, it is a person who plays on the field, and can often watch him break through with the ball alone, break through with the ball, break through with the ball, and then pass the ball to the air after being cornered by the defender, but teammates often can't run in place, not that teammates don't have the consciousness to run, but teammates don't know when Ronaldo will pass, and when he passes, no one catches it, Ronaldo will complain loudly, thinking that his teammates have not kept up with his rhythm

This phenomenon is changing little by little, and it is also the reason why Aldridge let Ronaldo skip training, his peers really can't prevent him, and they can't keep up with him, but the talented players who are two or three years older than him are different, the physical condition restrains Ronaldo, so that his personal performance is constantly reduced, Ronaldo also gradually realizes that his playing style is unreliable, and is slowly improving, at least he is much more serious and hard when practicing his personal skills with Murenstin, and often secretly practices by himself at night.

Messi and Aguero's situation is ideal, the two of them have no doubt about their technical talents, they can make technical movements, far more comfortable and coherent than their peers, plus the two are the youngest in the echelon, the older teammates take care of them, the two usually keep to themselves, get the most care, win applause and praise on the training ground, the days are very moist, occasionally Aldrich will take them out of the city to go shopping and eat, after all, they came to Europe from South America, so young, They should always be taken out to see the world, familiarize themselves with the environment, and strengthen their sense of belonging.

When the players began to rest, De Rossi ran over, took a bottle of water, unscrewed it and took two sips, wiped his sweat and asked Aldrich: "Boss, are you coming to watch the game in the summer?" ”

"What game? World Cup? ”

"No, Charity Cup."

Aldrich shook his head and said, "No, I'm going on a trip." ”

De Rossi was depressed, he was the captain of the team Millwall sent this time.

Andrew laughed beside him: "You're not going to let him see your performances in the game and put you in the first team next season, right?" ”

De Rossi scratched his head and said, "Isn't this impossible?" ”

Aldrich rolled his eyes, laughed twice, and didn't speak.

Of course not.

With his 15-year-old body, what is he doing in the first team?

Playing in the Premier League is abused. Fighting reserves is abolished.

"Are you confident of winning the championship?"

Andrew stared at De Rossi with a playful expression.

De Rossi frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "It should be possible." ”

He looked back at his teammates.

On the front line, Cristiano Ronaldo's boy.

The midfield relied on him and Jenas.

Anyway, as long as you press the opponent to attack.

After he's gone. Aldridge turned to Andrew and sighed, "When you were 15 years old. Isn't it that crazy? ”

Andrew shrugged and smiled.

"Have you thought it through?"

Aldrich sighed after being urged, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that Millwall's supermarket is really about to open." ”

Andrew said: "I think it's a good thing, these players have won the highest honours at the club and won the league last year, so to be honest, their aggressiveness will be questionable. Besides, the club sells people to make room for newcomers, otherwise what are you doing with the youth team? Since they want to leave, you force them to stay, they are not happy, and you feel awkward when you see them. ”

Aldridge stared at Andrew and asked: "I sold everyone out, relegation next season?" ”

Andrew also asked rhetorically: "Do you need me to tell you about your ability to develop players?" ”

Aldrich pouted.

Starting the day after winning the European Cup, it was no surprise that all the offers from the major European giants arrived at Millwall.

Who's on the waiting list?

Even if it's Bout. There are also as many as three first-tier clubs looking for the names of other players. All connected with a real giant.

Insided, Larsson, Southgate, Schneider, Bout, Pirlo, and Makelele are the ones who will remain with the agent.

In addition to Shevchenko, who had been planning to leave Ji Lu before, the other three people also had a decision to leave, a decision, not an idea, and the idea may have been in their minds for a long time.

Trezeguet also wants to make a splash in Italy, believing he has conquered England and that it's time to take on a new challenge in Serie A, where strikers are the litmus test.

Elgra's agent is his uncle, and as a Spaniard, he wants Elgra to go to Real Madrid to wear the aristocratic shirt, and Elgra also has such intentions.

Capdevilla's desire to leave is not a competitive factor, he can't adapt to life in London, where he has almost no activities outside of work except for football, because he can't fit in here, and he can't stand the weather in London, or sunny Spain is more desirable for him, which Aldridge has no doubts about his reasons, because the club he offered to transfer to is Deportivo La Coruna, not the other two Real Madrid and Barcelona who want to buy him, if he is bent on entering the giants, He went to Real Madrid to play as a substitute, and if he wanted to shake Carlos's main position, it is estimated that there will be no hope for five years.

There was one more person who wanted to leave, Barak.

He came to the club four years ago, but Pirlo, who arrived three years ago, put him on the bench, especially as Pirlo has grown older and strengthened his body to cope with the intensity of the game, which has reduced Ballack's appearances even more.

Aldridge's main three midfielders, Makelele Pirlo Nedved, each performing their duties and working perfectly, Ballack is indeed only a substitute in Aldrich's plan, but Ballack does not want to play as a substitute, in order to enter the German national team faster.

In particular, he has no hope of becoming a natural mainstay, with Millwall's midfielder all three in his playing years and Andrea Pirlo only twenty years old, so Ballack will only be able to sit in the main force unless someone leaves or is out injured.

Aldridge couldn't blame Ballack for his ideas, especially if he had spoken openly and honestly to him.

The other party is not a person whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper, it is really Millwall dragons and tigers, he can't see the day of his emergence, it is not his strength problem, it is Aldrich's problem, Aldridge prefers Pirlo's creativity, plus the guarantee of Makelele's defense, unless there are special circumstances, he does not need to delay the organization core to divide more ability to ensure the defense, but use the attack to compress the opponent's attack, which is a more successful defense in itself!

The transfer should be fast and not slow, but in the World Cup year, how can it wait until the end of the World Cup to operate, Aldridge first suppressed these transfers, and at the same time prepared for the departure of these players.

Before the start of the World Cup in France, Aldrich has one more place to go before his holiday.

Brussels, Belgium.

A business meeting room in a hotel.

At either end of the table are high-backed chairs, with an abbreviation written on the front of the chair.

On the back of the first chair on the left hand of the head is written: A.

There are chairs like B, I, and J next to it.

In the middle, two adjacent chairs have M written on them.

The door to the conference room was pushed open, and people kept coming in, dressed in suits and leather shoes, and took their seats after finding the letters on the chairs with their backs.

On the chairs on either side of the long table, it is clear that the President of Barcelona is sitting in the chair with the letter B, and the President of Ajax is sitting in the chair with the letter A.

Galliani, Moratti, Moggie, Sans and so on – 13 people sat here, and next to the only vacant seat, Manchester United chairman Edwards frowned and stared at the letter on the chair: M.

Mistaken, right?

It should be L.

Liverpool。

While the 13 people were waiting, there were footsteps outside the door, and they turned their heads to see a young and handsome blonde young man striding into the conference room with one hand in his pocket, turning around and closing the door, and then walked straight to Edwards, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Edwards' eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Aldrich-Hall! Why do you want to be here? ”

Aldrich stretched out his hands and asked, "What?" So you'd rather be the chairman of Liverpool here? ”

Edwards snapped, "Millwall doesn't deserve to be here!" ”

Aldrich laughed but didn't say a word.

Galliani said calmly: "Millwall are the champions of England and have won the European Cup, and the impact of these two years on European football cannot be ignored. ”

Aldridge and Galliani looked at each other tacitly.

"No, no, no, Millwall isn't at our level."

Edwards is still holding on.

Galliani said helplessly: "Then vote and see." ”

When the representatives of Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan took the lead in raising their hands in agreement, the presidents of other clubs also raised their hands one after another, although not all of them, Barcelona disagreed, but there were still ten votes in favor.

Aldridge turned to look at Edwards, who had no choice but to acquiesce to Millwall's replacement of Liverpool in their meeting.

Aldridge looked around at the representatives of the various big clubs, some of them were lobbied by Galliani, and some wanted to do business with Millwall to get Aldridge to canvass for votes in the same way.

In any case, Millwall is here, whether there is a rich background and background, at the very least, it is to play games with the giants.

In the summer of '98, the first generation of wild lions under the command of young marshal Aldrich swept across Europe.

G14 brewed the European Super League, kicking off the war with UEFA.

The ever-"strongest team of all time" England team came home in France.

The Lion King Stadium is expected to be completed in less than two years
