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

What Bayern Munich is confused and entangled with is: give cash directly, they are in pain.

If Schweinsteiger were to be added to the trade, they were afraid of losing money.

But now that Lahm can be worth £10 million, they have to wonder if there is something wrong with the club's positioning for Lahm.

Or, if a club were willing to pay £10 million for Lahm at this point, which translates to a transfer fee of around €15 million, they would probably agree immediately.

It's just that Millwall had to think twice about making this deal.

Aldridge's past operations in the transfer market have not been as philistine or shrewd as businessmen.

He's just running with the idea of building the team and making the team better.

Instead of worrying about how much the player is worth and how much he can sell, first satisfy himself, if a player is eliminated, then selling it for cash is a good deal.

But it's not his style.

If he were a philistine businessman, the Bayern Munich Big Three would not have thought too much.

However, they all understand that Aldridge understands the ball, and because he is an expert, this shot will not be hasty, nor will he particularly care about the benefits and losses.

'I heard that a full-back from Millwall was sold.

Hopfner remembered what was happening on the side of England.

Rummenigge subconsciously asked, "He just needs a replacement?" ”

Hoeness gave Rummenigge a blank look, feeling that the other party had asked a nonsense.

If Lahm can shake Schneider and Ashley Cole, the main players of the England and German national teams. Then Lahm has long been the main player in Bayern Munich.

It's clear at a glance. Millwall just need a full-back replacement. The reserves of other people are thin.

Time waits for no one, and if the Bayern Munich triumvirate has more time, they may not be able to determine whether Lahm is worth £10 million or more through discussion and observation.

Not wanting to pay full cash and not wanting to let Schweinsteiger go, they opted for a third condition to add Lahm to the player's transfer deal, though. First of all, we must keep the price down.

Aldridge's side was clearly impatient, and the club was about to leave for North America for a pre-season warm-up, and he gave Bayern Munich an ultimatum directly.

This is a £2.5 million reduction from the previous price.

All three conditions were reduced by £2.5 million.

In the end, Bayern Munich officially agreed to make a transfer with Klose for 12.5 million pounds Galam.

There is no problem on Klose's side, and there is not much resistance to the contract treatment.

However, Millwall will need to convince Lahm to join.

Lahm was originally given the news that he would be loaned out by the club for the new season, and the exact location of the loan has not yet been decided, which made him a little disappointed.

And when he learns that he has been added to the player trade as a bargaining chip. I was even more disappointed.

Aldrich, however, called him personally. With just one word, Lahm did not hesitate to inform the club that he had agreed to the transfer and began to pack his bags for England.

That sentence may never be forgotten for the rest of his life, and it made an unquenchable flame ignite in his heart like never before.

"Come to Millwall, and fight for the first place in the world in the future."

Rahm left Germany, aiming for England, like Balak, Schneider, Klose, Bout, when will he return? He didn't know, but he thought he had a clear goal: to be number one in the world!

And many years later, Rummenigge's question at this time, which was considered nonsense by the other two giants, became the biggest regret in the hearts of the Bayern Munich three.

"He just needs a replacement?"

Reality is not only full of irony, but also full of reversals.

Millwall sold Johnson and Klose, and Aldridge couldn't have imagined that he got Lahm.

Unlike some small clubs, such as Aldridge getting Ramos, getting Moutinho and other good seedlings, they are all non-giants, to put it bluntly, they can be solved with money.

But who are some of the most prosperous geniuses in Europe now?

Aldrich!

Guarding him is like a wolf!

Like, Barcelona's Andres Iniesta, Real Madrid's Cambiaso, and Aldridge tried to ask for a price in the summer of last season, and they didn't expect to take people away like picking cabbage, just give a similar price, but the two La Liga heroes were so scared that they immediately labeled the players as non-sale, and they also attracted the attention of the Spanish media, hyping them, saying that the two are unborn geniuses, future Ballon d'Or contenders, future pillars of the team, and so on.

According to some information channels in the circle, Aldridge's inquiry made Barcelona and Real Madrid re-examine the two at the same time, obviously raising their club positioning, but after a year, it feels like it is back to its previous state.

It is difficult to take away the youth seedlings from the talent pool of the giants, especially some young players who have not been proven to be geniuses or mediocre talents, and Aldridge has more or less a "sense of dignity", like he can stare at Fabregas's age to "plunder", but he is not willing to do so, it is a loss of identity, besides, this operation itself is not just a transaction, it should be a promise greater than a transaction, he can't give some young talent promises, just get the player himself, what's the point?

In mid-to-late July, Aldridge announced the signing of Lahm and the departure of Klose, and then the team embarked on a pre-season warm-up journey to North America.

This trip to the United States, in fact, there are two warm-up matches, the sponsor organized a high-quality warm-up friendly match, Millwall, Inter Milan, Lyon, Barcelona, four teams for the cup, knockout ranking system, the winner of the first round for the championship, the loser for the third place.

At London's Heathrow Airport, Millwall's travel team met many acquaintances.

It's not that the whole Chelsea team is here, and the whole Liverpool team is here. Their administrative staff is also included.

Chelsea are going to Malaysia to play the Premier League Asian Cup.

Liverpool is on the way to the Far East.

They are waiting for airliners. Millwall came here and boarded their special airliner directly.

Millwall's private jets are for club use. But it is also subject to British Airways control, and the annual expenses are paid from Aldrich's private pocket, but the club is his, and it is impossible to distinguish whether it is public or private.

While Chelsea and Liverpool were waiting, Millwall was able to stop for a while, waiting for airport staff to coordinate before entering the dedicated lane and leaving London.

Aldridge greeted Chelsea's new boss Christian Eriksen and Liverpool boss Houllier.

Aldrich was dressed casually today, wearing a dark blue work T-shirt from Millwall Club. Casual pants, a pair of stylish sunglasses, and after saying hello, sit there and wait.

The players also greeted each other as well.

At this time, Chelsea's chairman, Bates, jumped out and beckoned to Millwall's side.

'Haha, Millwall lads, do you want to play for Chelsea? Double your salary! ”

This guy probably got carried away!

I didn't even see that in the Chelsea team, Glenn Johnson hid directly behind Terry, not daring to make eye contact with the whole Millwall team in the open.

Aldrich glanced at Bates, not interested in dealing with the beam-jumping clown.

Many of Millwall's players were also dismissive. Xiao Luo rolled his eyes and pulled Schneider and Henry to walk in front of Bates. Xiao Luo smiled and asked, "Really?" Double pay? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Bates recoiled again and again, not daring to answer.

Abu has money, but not Bates's money.

Ronaldo, Schneider, Thierry Henry, if the wages of these three were doubled, Chelsea's salary bills would skyrocket by more than £20 million a year.

Bates was thick-skinned and turned away as if there was no such thing, while Ronaldo was scolded by Aldrich and raised his eyebrows and walked back.

Witnesses at the scene sold the news to Fleet Street, and the atmosphere inside the airport changed subtly.

On Liverpool's side, when Bates came to talk, Liverpool's management staff Dyers gritted his teeth and shouted directly at him with a gloomy face: "Get out!" ”

Bates may have suddenly changed from an embarrassing and oppressive life to a chic and relaxed one, so he greeted him with his characteristic humor.

But in Aldrich's opinion, this man is a bit stupid at this time.

There's no denying that Bates' words are realistic, and money is definitely important when it comes to buying players.

If you dig someone, you must give the other party a wage increase.

Zhangkou is double salary, excluding a few big-name players with a weekly salary of 100,000 on Millwall's side, many other players, especially Liverpool, have many players with a salary of less than 30,000 per week, if they are tempted, Chelsea can really afford it!

However, it was said in such a large and open manner in front of everyone.

Your joke is out of place.

Regardless of how explicit it it may be, even if there are players who are interested in joining Stamford Bridge to make a lot of money, don't you give someone a handle when you make such a fuss? Those players who want to go to Stamford Bridge and show Chelsea afterwards will inevitably be linked to what happened today.

Taking a step back, Bates may not have seen that the Chelsea players were not as smug and excited as he was, and when he asked in an arrogant tone if someone was interested in playing for Chelsea, at least 10 players in the Chelsea squad looked solemn and some even frowned and looked disgruntled.

When Ronaldo, Thierry Henry and Schneider walked up to Bates, four or five Chelsea players looked nervous.

It is conceivable that there are 11 pits in the team's starting position, and Chelsea has bought two or three players in different positions, and they are stars, which will affect the future of at least 45 players in the team.

Bates made such a fuss, it is normal for Chelsea players to be dissatisfied with him, the new coach Eriksen's face is as black as carbon, he is not on the right path with Bates, before, when Ranieri was not out of class, Eriksen and Chelsea had rumors stage, Bates made remarks that he was not interested in Eriksen, but he did not have the right to make decisions, but he opened his mouth wide, especially after Chelsea was sold by him, as if he said that he did not have to take responsibility, he was even more unscrupulous.

Soon, Aldrich led the team into a special passage under the service of airport staff to board and leave London.

Millwall was the last to come, but the first to leave.

Liverpool and Chelsea are still waiting, Bates gritted his teeth, and had to admit that Millwall was not born in an aristocratic place, but Millwall is becoming more and more aristocratic and free-spirited.

After a qiē incident at the airport reached Abu's ears, Bates' actions worried Abu and his team.

Despite the promise that Bates would stay in office until 2005, some of Bates' actions made Abu feel that it was too cheap!

Abu is rarely aggressive in his dealings, and even more intimate, so he can quickly break into the circle of the British elite, be friends with the British prince, and lend his private jet to the alien Ronaldo generously, when it comes to player transfers, Abu is either silent or does what he says, unlike Bates, who is full of cannon and useless.

Chelsea's fantasy squad was a 108,000-mile departure from what Abou had originally envisioned when it was first assembled, and summer preparations have already begun, but they are still making waves in the transfer market. (To be continued......)
