Aldrich was furious.

Bert winked at his brother Earl covertly, as if the two were playing out a tacit understanding: brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold.

There is no half point in the slightest, this is the consciousness of the cheating father.

Aldridge took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, let's talk about the German players." Bierhoff, have you heard of it? ”

Bert immediately replied: "I've heard of it, the German striker, very powerful." ”

"Well, it's good to have heard of it, I tell you, just two years ago, in 2002, Bierhoff got his university diploma!"

"Wow!"

Bert let out a cry of surprise.

Earl was also shocked at first, and then turned his head and asked Burt: "Is the person Dad said the same player in Germany who retired last year?" ”

Bert nodded solemnly.

Earl turned his head again and asked Aldrich, "Dad, this Bierhoff, how old is he?" ”

"Hey, you're asking the right question, your dad and I are more concerned about the age of the opponent's players when I study the opponent, and when I played against AC Milan in the past, Bierhoff was an AC Milan player. Come to think of it, he's over 35 years old. ”

Aldrich only reacted after speaking, he secretly felt bad, and looked at Earl with a weak heart, this son who is not cute at all now really pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and asked: "Dad, a person over 35 years old this year, graduated from college 2 years ago, when did he enter college?" ”

Aldridge scratched his head, reluctant to speak.

Under Earle's continuous questioning, Aldridge said word by word: "1988." ”

Earl froze, thinking he had guessed wrong.

After thinking about it, I realized that I didn't learn math well.

I almost subtracted 2002 from 1988 to 4

"Dad. It's so tiring to go to college. It takes 14 years to graduate? ”

This. Bierhoff may not be considered a top student, and anyone who takes 14 years and almost 30 semesters to graduate can only be classified as a scumbag.

Aldridge looked at his two sons snickering, and suddenly became angry, and blurted out: "You must know Arsenal's main goalkeeper, right?" Lyman! He started studying economics in '92, listen to what he said in an interview with Fleet Street? 'There are goalkeepers who have had too little education, a great goalkeeper. It is necessary to maintain your full attention for 90 minutes of the game, sometimes for up to 120 or even 150 minutes. The best way to do this is to focus on your studies in school. If you drop out of school at the age of 16, you can't really be fully committed. 'Listen, listen, that's the truth!' ”

"Hahahaha."

This time, even Bert didn't think Aldrich made any sense.

The two bear children laughed loudly to make Aldrich very embarrassed, and Earl saw Aldrich's face change, for fear that his father would be mad, so he hurriedly said, "Dad." Lyman is brilliant, but. Would you consider him the best goalkeeper? No way? There are a lot of better goalkeepers than Lehmann, are those goalkeepers learning the same as Lehmann? ”

Aldrich was furious and began to convince his two sons with some untenable reasons.

"Thuram, you must know, but you don't know, he's like a man of letters outside of football, he can stay in the library all day and study literature, he"

"Dad, I'm tired from playing football, and when I relax and relax, I can go to read a book, but I don't have to go to school."

Bert's words made Aldrich completely speechless.

Aldridge fell into a mental dilemma, not knowing how to convince his son that playing football and studying can be perfectly compatible, perhaps, deep down, he does not want his son to choose the future when he is not yet mentally mature, the success rate in competitive sports is very low, and the risk is extremely high.

Seeing that Aldrich was speechless, Bert spoke, and his immature face was full of determination.

"Dad, I think playing football is my dream, and I am confident that I will continue to work hard and never give up! I have to be a star! ”

Aldrich watched Bert fall into a trance.

Ideal? Dream?

For more than 99% of people, dreams are reality, money and beauty, career and love, this is the realization of ideals, as for what governs the country and the world, it is unattainable nonsense.

However, in the description of the ideal that most people proclaim, the ideal should often be detached from reality and away from reality, otherwise, it will become vulgar.

Just like many world-famous football stars, they can naturally say that playing football is a dream, but in the past, when they lived in the slums, they didn't even have the opportunity to get an education, they either became street ghosts, or played football to fight for a future, to put it bluntly, it was to make money, but the more money they earned, the more they became famous, and they became the most watchful of the people, so they could idealize this inspirational history of struggle.

And to really say that he is detached from reality and pursues his dreams completely freely, that kind of idealistic player, there are really in contemporary European football, and it is a very beautiful and romantic image in front of the public.

The only person in the modern era to have won five Champions Leagues and completed the feat of four consecutive Champions League titles!

Pirlo is the son of the Iron King, he can play football without money and material things, and even initially fell out with his family, insisting on embarking on the path of pursuing his dreams, for him, football is the purest dream.

He succeeded, and the world learned about Pirlo's family background, and the way he looked at him was different, just as in China in the future, Chinese football commentators would say that Pirlo was a role model for all the rich second generation in China.

Counting forward, there is Vialli, the son of the Italian consortium, you can't imagine that he grew up in a medieval castle, with more than 60 rooms in his home, and he didn't go into all of them himself, and Bierhoff is the heir to a German energy company, he studied economics and got a diploma, not to enrich his image, but to take care of business in the future, no, now the company is managed by his younger brother, and there are pictures of Bierhoff playing football on the company's website

As for the future, or the person who has not yet made a name for himself, Fabregas, who came to London last autumn, dared to venture alone in England at a young age, why? Do you really think Wenger's three-inch tongue can poach him? In the final analysis, there is still Fabregas's family background as a certain factor, people are rich, not afraid of failure, and can afford to lose, as for why there is such a rare action as a "backward paste", or because he has money, he doesn't care about money, and his contemporaries Pique is about the same, as a rich second generation, he has a way out, unlike the slums out of the football teenager, one wrong step, maybe the fate of a lifetime has been turned upside down, and he will naturally be cautious.

Aldrich pondered for a long time, his situation was rather peculiar.

Because, after all, he does not have a large personal property, he is just a speculator in the investment market, and he only has money, and in the long run, if his son wants to inherit his family property, then he is almost sitting on a mountain of nothing.

First of all, Millwall FC cannot be seen as a for-profit organization.

In addition, Aldrich's financial market investments, after more than a decade, he is facing the same risks as everyone else in the world.

Therefore, he hopes that his two sons can study more, study hard, have a little ability, and use the money to start a new business in the future, or run to help the eldest or second brother.

Thinking like this, Aldrich suddenly felt a little sad in his heart.

The eldest brother and the second brother have both laid a career foundation that can continue as long as it is not a great change, but it is himself, in addition to having money, it seems that after 20 years, he has no clue how to make "money make money".

But in the final analysis, as long as you don't squander it yourself, and your descendants squander it, this family property is now enough for generations of children and grandchildren.

No matter how far away, Aldrich couldn't think about it that much.

"Dad, you didn't go to school, Bert set his goals before you, isn't that good?"

Earl's words made Aldrich feel like he was being slapped in the face.

Suddenly, he looked at Bert with a little pride in his heart, and said that ambition is not old, Bert can make a wish at a young age, and he has been persisting for a year.

Why can't you trust him? Support him?

Aldridge smiled at Bert and said, "Well, from the summer, you're studying at Millwall's football school, that's the bottom line. ”

Football schools are definitely different from regular schools, the former has the word football, and it must focus on football training.

Bert nodded firmly, smiling as well.

Earl cheered, but saw Aldrich look at him, and said in a deep voice, "As for you, you must go to the school I chose for you." ”

Elton was anxious and said loudly: "This is not fair! Dad, you didn't go to school! ”

"I graduated from elementary school."

"Your elementary school report card grandfather showed me all the results, and many of them failed! Grandpa said that you were naughty every day at school, and you didn't go to study at all! ”

"Ahem, you and your brother are in a different situation, he is focused on playing football and trying to become a professional athlete in the future, I believe in him. What about you? If you don't go to school, why are you going? ”

"I play football too!"

"Forget it, you play football for a few days, shoot commercials for a few days, and then you are arguing to play here, there, and hide at home to play computer games, you have to go to school, it's not negotiable."

Earl puffed out his cheeks and wanted to refute but couldn't speak, his three-minute hot personality, for more than a year, can be regarded as a figure out for Aldrich.

"Alright, that's it!"

Aldridge made a decision, and the two sons were happy and worried, Bert was satisfied, and Earl was full of frustration, and complained to Bert on the way upstairs: "You won't help me either!" ”

Bert said to him, "Or you can keep playing with me, and you will definitely become a big star in the future." ”

Earl patted his head and sighed, "Kill me, training day after day, boring to death." ”
