Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ――

In the press gallery of the Yokohama International Stadium, reporters from all walks of life on Fleet Street watched the game, some of them simply watched the game, reading the game only with their minds and insights, such as David Miller of the Times, such as Jennings of the BBC, but there were also reporters who used their pens to record some small details found in the game as an entry point for the post-match report, such as Howard of The Sun and Richard of the Daily Mail.

As peers, they naturally know each other, and occasionally they inevitably have to deal with each other, sell each other's information or cooperate to hype up hot spots.

Richard looked at Thomson from the "Sun" next to him, and suddenly remembered that about 8 years ago, they were both newcomers in the industry, and the work of tracking the wealthy family naturally had seniors to do, and their icing on the cake was just to make wedding dresses for others, so they could only run the news by themselves and dig out new topics, so the two fledgling young people met at the Lion's Den Stadium, waiting to see how the farce of the rich man who spent a lot of money ended, and so on, that is, eight years, in these eight years, there must be jokes, and there are many farces, just how to look, Millwall, the rogue team that came home in the cold, may not be able to part with them in this life.

It is undeniable that no matter how arrogant he Richard is, and even mentioned how the other party got ahead in the sensational place of "The Sun" when he first met Thomson, in the end, he still has to admit that the ability of bullshit is nothing more than luck, and he first bumped into Millwall's miracle, and witnessed from beginning to end, and caught up with the internal relationship of the wild lion. That's why we have a golden job bowl. has a status and energy that can be the envy of newcomers in the industry.

Richard turned his head to look at Thomson, who frowned and put pen to paper. The other party really looks like a pacesetter, every time we meet, you can see what he keeps recording with his pen, just a press release in the newspaper, to be honest, Richard feels that there is no gold content.

For eight years, he had always felt that he and Thomson had the right way to swap owners, working for The Sun. Entertaining the public is the first priority, Thomson has a decent style similar to a scholar, and he does not want to put down the tricks of the ninth, but he is not afraid of meat and vegetarianism, and sometimes writes a grandstanding manuscript to the top, but it is directly dismissed, and he will be taught a lesson, saying that the "Daily Mail" should have the bottom line of professional ethics of journalists.

But if he really wants to change the owner, Richard is not happy, and the loss is too great. Because the biggest financier, that is, Millwall. What is needed is really a disciplined mouthpiece collaborator, a bottomless media like The Sun, although it will occasionally cooperate and cooperate, but it must be more guarded, and it may collapse one day.

"After all these years, why haven't you figured out one thing?"

Thomson heard Richard's words coldly and turned his head in confusion.

Richard pouted in David Miller's direction and asked, "Can you see the game better than he can see?" ”

Thomson's hand holding the pen was a little stiff.

Richard glanced at Jennings again and asked, "Can you know better than he does about the general trends in England and Germany?" ”

Thomson threw the pen away, and was hit hard, and he couldn't accept it.

Not to mention David Miller's professional eye for analyzing specific games, even his colleague Howard, who sat next to him, asked himself how bad, and the BBC's Jennings, although he rarely analyzes a game, has a unique insight into the fluctuations of the team's overall strength.

If you want to know who will lose and who will win in a game, David Miller's masterpiece will make you feel enlightened.

But if you want to say whether a team is strong or weak, why it is strong and why it is weak, Jennings knows the foresight of the small and the ability to hindsight, and others are really willing to bow down.

Thomson glared at Richard fiercely and asked, "How are you better than them?" ”

Richard shrugged his shoulders shamelessly and said: "Of course I'm not as good as them, over the years, have you seen me write press releases, is it the same way as them?" To tell you the truth, whether it's the swords and swords on the football field, or the undercurrents, I can't see it at all, I can see who scored the goal and who is the best person in the game. ”

Thomson wanted to sarcastically say a few words to the other party, but he opened his mouth and turned into a sigh.

The other party is self-aware.

Zhuyu is in front, why bother to humiliate himself?

Moreover, the profession is the profession, football itself is a comprehensive entertainment sport, the professional point of view is actually not what the public cares about, it is a niche field, those readers who read the newspaper, they also want to know who wins, who loses, which unknown kid became famous with a goal, which dark horse is a blockbuster, most people don't care how the hell you do it.

So Richard's reputation is not low, he belongs to the kind of reporters who broke the news and broke the news, and he doesn't put his mind on football competition itself, in his eyes, this World Cup final is actually a "who will rise in value, and who will become the most watched person in Europe in the future" game, winner or loser? All he had to do was cheer England on.

But in the hearts of reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, if they do not have a sense of national honor, they really hope that England will be in trouble, and the news hype behind this will be lively.

With his leisure in his mind, Richard had a hot news brewing in his mind.

"Did you notice something was wrong with Millwall lately?"

Thomson thought for a moment and said, "It's quiet, eerily quiet, but there's a World Cup, it's hard to say." ”

"Hah, what's not to say? Millwall's tradition is that the main players in the team renew their contracts every 2 years, and if they don't sign a contract, then get out, but tomorrow is July, and the transfer door will be opened, but Millwall's contract renewal work has not been finalized, is this weird? This is clearly a sign that the mountain rain is coming. ”

Thomson was surprised, and when he thought about it, although the World Cup was going on, Millwall's entire coaching team was in Asia, and it was reasonable that some work dragged on.

But the player's contract renewal work, in the final analysis, is a money, and the club pays for it. Players ask for money. It's as simple as that.

Millwall has money. Aldridge will not pick the door, don't look at Millwall's top salary is not high, but counting bonuses, especially loyalty bonuses, Millwall's old ministers and ministers, as long as they do not miss more than 1/3 of the games in a season, they can basically get the salary of the top column in Europe.

Renewing the contract, and then rising? In line with the megatrend. Millwall won 7 titles last season, how much money did they make?

As expected, after the new statistics from the German side are released, Millwall will sit on the leading throne of football wealth.

In general, the player does not renew his contract, which raises suspicions about transfers.

But is Millwall going to be purged this time?

Nedved, who is recovering from an injury, did not come to the World Cup, so why not extend his contract to motivate people?

Henry went home early, why not sign a contract to salvage his frustrated popularity? Anyway, it can appear in the media news, and it is such positive news as continuing to fight for the wild lions.

Other players, Larsson threatened to retire from the national team. Saved by all parties, his heart for the wild lion. Isn't it worth the club to give him another contract so that he can retire with peace of mind and play his spare time?

It's nothing like Xiao Luo, after all, he shines in the World Cup, and the negotiation of a new contract should be slower, and if the contract is renewed, it will inevitably be a big deal.

One by one, coupled with the fact that Millwall's reinforcements were still in place, but the four main players were let go, there were indeed signs of an impending storm in the eerie calm.

"Damn, it's not like the Hall family is going to sell the club, is it?"

Thomson blurted out, which frightened Richard, and Richard didn't dare to think about it after all.

Jennings, who was sitting next to Richard, turned his head and said with a smile: "Not to mention the influence of the Hall family in East London, and the efforts they have put into investment and operation over the years, don't you know that Aldrich Hall will be knighted when he returns to the UK?" What did he rely on to be knighted? Isn't it football, if he sells Millwall, even if he is knighted, he may suddenly fall from the worship of thousands of people to the end of thousands of people, don't doubt that the Hall family withdrew from Millwall, and in less than 5 years, Millwall is at best a midstream team in England, maybe not as miserable as Nottingham Forest, but Aldrich Hall's glory in eight years will be worn off little by little, the unrivaled wild lion? Only zài is in remembrance. ”

Richard came back to his senses, weighed the pros and cons, and nodded: "That's right, the Hall family is half of the mad lion signboard, whether it is business, or Aldrich-Hall's personal charm." So what will be the operation state of the strange club of the Wild Lion this time? Don't? ”

Jennings asked rhetorically, "Didn't you just ask him with multiple people to support your speculation?" How? Don't dare to admit it or don't want to say it? ”

Richard nodded and said: "Compromise, the Hall family does not sell the club, Aldridge Hall delegates power, the owner and the coach, he can let go, only the coach, alas, I don't want to admit it is true, the Premier League does not have him, European football does not have him, there may be more suspense, but, Millwall, who has won the championship twice in 3 years, may never be seen again, the arrogant lions who swept a qiē on the peak stage of Europe, do they really leave memories?" ”

Richard's voice became quieter and quieter, and he followed Millwall for eight years to support his family, but he also had the purest love and fanaticism.

Thomson was stunned, he didn't dare to think about it, if the Premier League did not have Aldridge on the cusp, and Europe did not have a young coach who was regarded as a strong rival, how much less exciting would the European Beacon be missing?

Jennings muttered, "What were you doing when you were 18?" Where were you when you were 26? You can give yourself a vacation at any time, and if you are unhappy, you will skip work, nothing more than a deduction of your salary, you can chase girls around like crazy, and do whatever you want, but what about Aldrich Hall? Doesn't he want to indulge when he wants? Of course, I want to, but in the past 8 years, even if he is beautiful, he has always been in a limited frame, Millwall's seven championships, the final game of the World Cup, whether he won the championship or not, he has stood at the pinnacle of football coaching achievements, won the World Cup, eight championships in 300 days, no World Cup, leaving a defective beauty, he still doesn't have to be obsessed. ”

Richard and Thomson were silent, why didn't they understand this, just like the rival club in Millwall, the rich owner would also laugh at Aldridge in private, because he was too tired to live?

If you have that family business, it's good to treat football as a toy, even if you don't squander it, just play it carefully, why bother to do this job that will cause you to have a heart attack if you don't do it well?

Jennings turned his head to continue watching the game, but said in his heart: Aldridge Hall, not the world, not the whole of the United Kingdom, only the 300,000 Lions fans in East London, can you let it go? Except for you, who can really defend the country of the wild lion?

Richard wanted to change the topic and change his mood, so he asked Jennings: "Who has the advantage on the scene?" ”

Jennings relayed the original words to David Miller, and the bland David Miller said: "The German team's attack is weak, the only trick has been figured out by Aldrich, from a technical and tactical point of view, England is impeccable, the German team's counterattack is not threatening, England has a big chance of winning, however, Germany has a Kahn, there is only one Kahn." ”

Kahn?

Kahn!

The game only lasted more than 20 minutes, and the German team coach Worrall, Furui Bubo's expression has not changed, but he is extremely helpless in his heart.

The only trick of the German team in this game is not pinned on Schneider, because Schneider's technical ability is quite outstanding, and with him as a breakthrough, the England team can't think of it? Too obvious points of attack, it is difficult to create a zào miracle.

Even if he is as strong as Ronaldo, he needs to interact with his teammates, but there is only one Schneider in the German team.

So Schneider is a feint, just to attract troops, but the real expectation is to bring a fatal impact to the England team, but on the other side, Bremen's legendary Bodø, the frontcourt jack-of-all-trades player was deployed on the left side of the midfield today, Worrall expects him to be a dagger, unexpectedly put England to death, even Neuville and Klose, have to cover for it.

It's a pity that England seems to have seen through the deployment of the German team, Schneider's side guards, Bode's side attacks, one loose and one tight, one defense and one attack, Schneider can't turn the sky, Bode is directly suppressed in the backfield!

The German team's attack is weak, and in addition to relying on high balls to hit luck, the ground penetration in the front court can pass three balls is the limit.

Worrall is not reconciled, such a German team has reached the final, but there is no hope of winning the championship, I really can't imagine how desperate it will be if it meets the Brazilian team! (To be continued......)
