Aldridge and De Rossi sat on the side of the road, holding mineral water bottles and chatting.

De Rossi told Aldridge that he would try out at a local amateur club in Rome this summer, and if he could, start his career here.

Aldridge shook his head and said to him: "Although you are only 14 years old in the summer, getting formal and professional football training earlier will have a big impact on your future, and the training mechanism of amateur and professional clubs is completely different.

In the final analysis, he was afraid that De Rossi would regret it, and there was a meaning in his words: coming to Millwall was the most correct choice!

The two waited on the side of the street for about three hours, and when it was almost dark, a young man came from a distance, carrying Aldrich's travel bag in his hand, walked up to De Rossi, threw the bag directly to De Rossi, and then said hello to De Rossi, and then turned to leave.

"Is it yours?"

De Rossi handed the bag to Aldrich, who nodded.

When he opened his travel bag, his clothes had been turned over and his documents were left untouched in the compartment, but he couldn't find his wallet.

"Is your wallet worth anything?"

When Aldridge heard De Rossi's question, it suddenly dawned on him that his wallet was a famous brand and was indeed very valuable.

He sighed regretfully, not because of his wallet, but because there was an old group photo inside. It was taken when he was eleven years old and still living in an old house in East London.

The camera in the travel bag was also missing. Only the film remained.

The robber brothers are really interesting. All the useless things were returned to him.

Aldrich picked up his travel bag and said to De Rossi: "I'm going to the bank, you go home first and wait for me, I know your house, wait for the car to go over." ”

De Rossi nodded, he also wanted to go home and tell his father about his decision.

The two are temporarily separated.

Aldrich lost his wallet, but he had documents, and this is Rome, and the bank with the card has a branch. He went to get a replacement card and got some money.

By the time he had completed all these formalities, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and he took the car to De Rossi's house.

As soon as he got out of the car, he heard De Rossi and his son arguing, and the scene made Aldrich's scalp tingle.

De Rossi also carried a travel bag, half of his body rushed out of the door, and the old De Rossi dragged the travel bag in his son's hand with an angry face.

"Rome, Rome, you always say that my future belongs to Rome! But I'm about to turn 14, has any of the Roma coaches ever offered me an invitation? No! Don't impose your loyalty on me! ”

"No, no, no. You're going to be taken by Rome, you will! Even if you don't want to play in an amateur team. You don't have to go to the UK! ”

"Why can't you? Mr. Hall has been chasing me for two years, and his sincerity has moved me far more than Rome in your mouth! He was even robbed today for coming to me! ”

Old De Rossi's expression was stunned, and at this moment he suddenly saw Aldrich standing in the distance.

Aldrich was a little embarrassed, feeling like a sinner who had come to rob someone else's son.

He had to step forward and say to little De Rossi: "Danielle, you calm down first, your father must also think about you, let's communicate calmly." ”

Both father and son calmed down, and then invited Aldrich into the house to sit.

Old De Rossi had a sad face, and his eyes kept wandering over Aldrich's face.

From time to time, I glanced at my son, who had a somewhat cold face.

"Mr. Hall, why do you think so highly of my son?"

Regardless of his father's background, the elder De Rossi didn't really think that his son had any special talent.

This is also normal, many superstar-level players do not show their talent from the moment they can play.

Some players may be 15 years old, or 17 years old, or 20 years old before their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and then quickly become famous, especially players who are not known for their foot skills, at this point, Latin or players who pay attention to foot skills are famous earlier, and they are labeled as talented people very early, such as many South American players, such as Joe Cole in Millwall's youth team, young players are famous, and most of them are because of their ball sense skills.

Comprehensive ability evaluations like Nedved, Ballack, etc., will show how good they are, and before the age of 20, they naturally seem to be unrecognizable.

De Rossi also belongs to this type of player, his foot skills are not gorgeous, his body is still developing, his ability to read the game is impossible, and his characteristics are not very obvious.

Half of what Aldridge said to De Rossi was a lie.

He does have tapes of De Rossi playing for the Roma community team, but just watching 12 or 13 years old De Rossi play, few coaches think he is outstanding.

Because of this, even though the old De Rossi is a Roma player, the lower youth echelon of Rome still has not opened the door to the younger De Rossi.

Italy's youth training mechanism is relatively perfect, which is related to their restrictions on foreign aid, like Juventus, in addition to the senior team, there are 11 subordinate echelons of all ages, Inter Milan has 10, and Roma has 8!

Those Under-14 and Under-16 youngsters who show their unique sense and skills early on will be recruited by the lower age groups.

Of course, the Roma team also has an echelon that matches De Rossi's age, but the youth team does not look at him for the time being.

It is only when he grows up and shows a better overall ability than his peers that he will be selected by the Roma youth team.

And now most of the "talented players" who are his age, to be honest, there are many "superstars" who seem to be the future, but the more this is the case, the more obsessed these players are with their foot skills, ignoring the improvement of other aspects of ability, and when they become adults, they still feel good about playing football, but they can only play static football. In the intense senior team competition. These players don't even get a chance to touch the ball. Because others don't need to be better than his foot skills, as long as they know how to run better than him and know how to fight with their bodies, they can stand out in the comprehensive ability selection.

It's like a street soccer performer's ability to "play ball" is simply amazing, but can these people play professional football? I'm afraid I can't even protect myself, and if I can't play three games, I will definitely leave the field injured.

"Mr. De Rossi, do you know anything about Millwall?"

Aldrich was silent for a moment, feeling that he could not say too much about De Rossi Jr.'s talent that was not in line with the reality at hand. Because that would sound fake, especially if asked for specific details, Aldrich is completely speechless.

Does that mean his football skills are better?

Is it in better physical condition?

Or other qualities?

Regardless of the emphasis, there are a number of junior players in his age group who are better than De Rossi.

De Rossi Sr. nodded: "I did start looking at Millwall two years ago, and you have achieved something to be proud of. ”

Aldridge waved his hand and said: "No, you misunderstood, I'm not boasting, I don't want to emphasize my coaching achievements. Now that you know a little bit about Millwall, then. I want to ask you what you think of Nedved. Ballack, Frank Lampard, what about the talent of those three players? ”

De Rossi Sr. frowned, these three players are from different countries, but in terms of playing characteristics, there is really nothing top-notch.

That is to say, defense, organization, offense, and the three general qualities and abilities are drawn out separately for comparison, and in the same age, there are players who are stronger than them, if the full score is 10 points, maybe their average score is 8 points, but none of them can get full points.

But it's the kind of player that makes Millwall's midfield extremely strong, both offensive and defensive.

In particular, the skills of these three people are absolutely not related to "gorgeous".

Seeing that the other party was silent, Aldrich knew that he was beginning to understand what he was trying to say.

'In the eyes of other coaches, before they achieve something, their talent will be average, but in my eyes they are geniuses and they will be the template for the future of football, at least at Millwall, there are two players who have proven their worth, you can say that Nedved is not flashy but no one can deny his importance to the team, you can also say that Ballack is sometimes unremarkable in midfield, but he does make my midfield strong. The 14-year-old looks no different from any other kid here, but in my eyes he will be a mainstay and an indispensable key player in a team in the future, so I wanted to take him to London and develop him myself and bring out the potential that he has not been discovered. ”

Old De Rossi closed his eyes in contemplation, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at his son, who looked stubborn with his face held high.

"Well, let's send him to Millwall for football training."

The old De Rossi's plan is probably to let his son receive football training and play for Roma when he returns from school.

Aldrich can naturally guess what the other party is thinking, and he will not poke it.

Anyway, when De Rossi is 16 years old, Millwall will directly provide him with a professional contract, even if the Italian club wants him, he can't sign a professional contract at the age of 16, and when De Rossi is 18 years old, he has been in London for four years, loyalty is also reciprocal, players are loyal to the club, and naturally the club needs the same sincerity.

The so-called "the king treats him as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman." ”

De Rossi Sr. was very interested in Aldridge's three player characteristics, and asked Aldridge to stay at home for the night, and the two discussed the topic in depth.

Aldridge elaborated on the idea of "blurring and diversifying the role of players", which is the trend of the future of football.

Early the next morning, Aldrich and Desrosi Jr. left Rome.

Both of them traveled together with travel bags.

Anyway, little De Rossi didn't have anything to do, he didn't have to go to the trial, and Aldrich was also alone, so he took this kid on the road with him.

Van der Meyde, Gudjohnsen, Klose, plus De Rossi next to him now, Aldridge has had a smooth summer journey, "winning consecutive battles", and he is a little confident.

So he happily continued to dig into the wall, hoping to take more stars of hope from Italy.

But for a week in a row, Aldrich repeatedly hit the wall and suffered a series of blows.

As he sat on the train to Florence, Aldrich sighed listlessly with his chin propped up.

De Rossi drank the juice and saw Aldridge being hit, but instead fell into the well and said: "Ha Luha, those clubs don't dump you!" ”

Aldrich rubbed his temples and sighed: "Actually, it's normal, I was mentally prepared before I came out, but the gap between the front and back is too big." ”

In fact, Aldridge has visited first-tier clubs in Italy for the past week.

None of the target players are unknown.

But all young.

During this period, there are many outstanding young players in Italy, the Italian youth team led by the old Maldini has won the European Youth Championship for three consecutive years, and there are many star players in the next fifteen years who will shine in the top arena in the next fifteen years, and these players are also distributed in Italian first-line clubs or giant clubs.

But not all teams don't let go, it's just that the lion opens his mouth.

When Pirlo was sold to Millwall for more than a million pounds, the Italians felt that Brescia had done a good job, after all, Brescia's current situation allowed them to make a fortune, but even in a big club, this transfer would not be high in 95, after all, Pirlo was too young and had not proven anything.

But two years later, looking at Pirlo, Italians felt that Brescia had broken the pen, and the person who sold it for more than a million pounds was worth at least five times more than two years later.

Therefore, when Aldridge deals with first-tier Italian clubs, they are willing to sell people and offer players no less than three million pounds.

If it is Nesta Buffon's three million, Aldrich will definitely give money, but it is absolutely impossible for people to sell it, and even if they do, it is estimated that it is impossible not to multiply it by seven or eight times.

And let Aldridge pay at least three million pounds to buy Barrambila, a player like Satello who will hardly find anyone in the future, Aldridge would rather take the money to spend a lot of time and enjoy it, at least the money is worth it (to be continued......
