It's no surprise that the Ritz Hotel is frequented by gentry and celebrities, and it's no surprise that Aldrich meets the Italian Armani here.

After receiving Aldrich's hand, Armani sat down in the empty seat next to him, and the three hot girls opposite, Victoria, Halliway, and Emma, lowered their heads and gathered together, exclaiming in unison: "Armani! Oh, my God! ”

"You're traveling on a ferry?"

Aldrich looks as usual, in fact, in London, he can meet many celebrities, if he wants, follow the eldest brother and second brother to attend various events and banquets every day, and the social circle will penetrate into the entertainment industry, political circle, business circle and so on.

"No, I'm here to prepare for the fall fashion show, and I'm here for dinner today with a couple of models."

Following Armani's gaze looking back, Aldrich saw a group of gorgeous young women sitting at a table not far away, and a few of them were smiling and throwing winks at this side, not knowing whether it was to please the boss or Aldrich.

Aldrich withdrew his gaze and nodded, "Understood, Mr. Armani, with all due respect, what are you looking for me?" Do you want to ask them to be models? ”

Giorgio Armani smiled: "I can't afford to hire them, their appearance fee is enough for a team's annual budget." I'm here for you, Mr. Hall, and when I came to London, I flipped through different newspapers and saw that you had a very high appearance rate, some of whom were born models, and I think you were such a person, standing on the side of the football field, holding your head high, not only did not have the frizziness of a young man, but was confident and introverted, full of an indescribable charm, which made people unable to erase their eyes, men, most of them will want to imitate you, because this can make themselves more attractive to women. ”

The Spice Girls were excited again, they didn't expect a big man like Giorgio Armani to know about them.

But Aldrich raised a light smile and said straight to the point: "Mr. Armani, thank you for your compliments, but you didn't answer my question. ”

"How about endorsing Armani menswear?"

"I don't have time to shoot commercials, and I wear a suit except for a coat in winter."

"You don't have to shoot commercials, you wear an Armani suit and you're photogenic every weekend, and you wear an Armani coat in winter, it's the same, of course, if you want, we can give away casual clothes for free, and whatever you like to wear in your daily life, I think, the British paparazzi will occasionally make you gossip headlines."

Aldrich smiled silently.

The advertising endorsement fee of football stars will be higher and higher, thanks to the development of broadcasting technology and the promotion of football culture, unlike film and television stars, the photogenic rate of sports stars is fixed, such as football stars, who can appear in front of the camera almost every weekend, regardless of poor performance or good performance, will be the focus.

And what about movie stars? TV series will not be broadcast repeatedly, the cycle of movies is too long, variety shows that need exposure may not be liked by everyone, and in the United Kingdom, football is the most popular entertainment program, with the widest audience for men, women and children.

Aldridge turned around and pointed to the top left corner of the suit he was wearing, where the Millwall crest was present, and said: "The last condition is that the suit or coat that is tailored to my needs must have the Millwall club crest." ”

Giarmani pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it will make your outfit more unusual and attract more eyeballs." ”

Millwall's team emblem represents the football club, not a clothing brand, there is no commercial interest collision, Armani is not difficult to accept, on the contrary, a manager who wears a suit with the club's brand will be more attractive, special, different.

Aldrich pulled a pen out of his inner pocket of his suit, then wrote a phone number on a napkin, handed the napkin to Armani, and said, "Please talk to him about the endorsement fee, Andrew Hall, my brother." ”

"Okay, goodbye."

Giarmani grabbed the napkin and got up to leave.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, Emma asked excitedly, "Aldrich, why aren't you excited at all?" That's Armani, Giorgio Armani! ”

Aldrich picked up the cup and drank saliva, and said lightly: "If I am respectful to him, he will not find me to endorse him, what he wants is my confidence and maturity, and besides, if I meet Maradona here, I may be excited, I can see him, I'm sorry, I've seen a few celebrities, and I've never been interested in fashion." ”

"You're so boring!"

"Xie Lu Xie, I don't like to be a clown in the eyes of others."

"You say I'm a clown?"

"No, I'm just past the age of chasing stars."

"You're younger than me!"

"But I'm more mentally mature than you."

"You!"

Emma gritted her teeth angrily, and Victoria quipped, "Aldrich, if you keep arguing with her, your maturity will be gone." ”

Aldrich nodded in agreement: "That's right, if the words are entangled, I am at the same level as her." Ladies, it's getting late, it's time for me to go home and rest, let's go, I'll call a taxi for you. ”

Walking out of the Ritz Hotel, Aldridge said goodbye to them one by one, and before leaving, Melanie smiled at him: "I'll be waiting for you in Liverpool." ”

"Forget it, your whole family will be unhappy."

"Hmph, what's the smugness? Liverpool are not Arsenal and can easily walk away with victory, and at Anfield? ”

"We'll see."

Sending off the five spice girls, Aldrich also drove home.

The next day, Aldrich received a call from Andrew at home, the endorsement of Armani was negotiated, only accepted a one-year contract, 500,000 pounds of endorsement fees, which is not low in this era, Aldrich agreed, and two days later, Armani sent a tailor to measure Aldrich's height, and then went back, waiting for their tailor-made clothes to be delivered to the door.

In the second round of the Premier League, in addition to Arsenal's defeat at the Lion's Den, the Reds Liverpool lost to Leeds United away, and the defending champions Blackburn Rovers lost to Sheffield Wednesday away, both of which were also very interesting, while Manchester United beat West Ham United and Newcastle United won two in a row to lead the table.

With next week's Carabao Cup tie away to League Two Grimsby, Aldridge is ready to come off the bench to take on defending champions Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round of the Premier League, so he is very serious about playing the third round away at Anfield.

Tactical countermeasures have been studied since midweek, and the footage of Liverpool's first two games of the season has been studied repeatedly to develop a corresponding tactical strategy.

Despite winning the League One title last season, the lads are practically nothing and the honours are empty, and after the draw with Manchester United and the win over Arsenal, they are training more seriously and want to prove themselves on the big stage of the Premier League.

After the weekend arrived, Aldridge led the team to Merseyside.

The port city has its own charm, but Millwall had no time to appreciate it, so they took the bus to Anfield, warmed up, returned to the dressing room to prepare, and when it was time to play, Aldridge never said anything.

Reds Liverpool, wearing their traditional red shirts, were already waiting in the tunnel and Aldridge followed the Millwall lads as they walked out, stopping in front of a sign on the wall before descending the stairs.

He looked up, looked at the sign, called Larson to him, and asked softly, "Henrik, what's written on it?" ”

Larsson looked at the sign with the Liverpool team emblem, and the Liverpool players next to him looked arrogant, as if to say: Hillbilly, don't even know what to do?

"This is Anfield!"

Larsson said flatly.

Aldrich plucked out his ears and muttered, "What did you say?" ”

"Boss, this is Anfield!"

Larsson repeated it loudly, and his teammates behind him all raised their heads and scrambled to look at the sign.

Aldrich said in a deep voice: "That's right, this is Anfield!" Great stadiums, great Bill Shankly's legacy to the Reds Liverpool, where Liverpool have left four European Champions League trophies, they hold the most titles in the English top flight, well, Henrik, what would it be like to take away the victory from here? ”

Larson smiled and said loudly, "It's wonderful! ”

The whole Millwall team burst into laughter.

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so, ninety minutes later, we're going home with this wonderful feeling. This is Anfield, I love it, thanks to Liverpool for setting the stage, Millwall, tell me, what to do at this point? ”

"Rush! Rush! Rush! Millwall! ”

The whole team shouted in unison, a slogan they had become accustomed to in training.

Aldridge turned around and walked down the stairs, and when he passed by the stunned group of Liverpool players, he deliberately patted Jamie Redknapp on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jamie, behave well today, if you see your father, tell him, look at today's game, Millwall will play like this when he plays West Ham United, let him shut up, Frank and Leo, have forgotten West Ham United." ”

Jamie Redknapp was dumbfounded, completely unsure of what to say.

His father, who is now the manager of West Ham United: Harry Redknapp, is fond of calling him the old Redknapp to distinguish Jamie from the little Redknapp.

When the Liverpool players saw the scrappy Millwall players, they couldn't help but think of another team from London: Wimbledon.

It was a bunch of thugs, and Millwall, rumored to be a bunch of hooligans.

Damn the London team!

PS: Thank you for the reward of "Farewell to the Moon"!
