When the game was over, the stands erupted in cheers from the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium, which was like a deep blue ocean, and in the first home game of the new season, they not only won but also beat the traditional giants of Manchester United, and the new generation of Wild Lions showed no signs of losing power.

Aldrich calmly walked over to shake Ferguson's hand, and the two exchanged a few words before turning to leave.

In the VIP box, Aldrich's two brothers were here, and there was another person beside them, a man about thirty years old, ordinary in appearance but giving a calm and reliable temperament.

Barnett, dressed in a suit, stood in the middle of the three, moving in the same veins as Andrew, his hands in his pockets overlooking the court, occasionally whispering a few words to the man next to him.

"Barnett, I admit that this little cousin is a genius, and judging by his resume, there may be very little advice he can give me."

Barnett smiled.

Andrew turned to the man and said, "Blaitze, don't question Aldrich's ability to surprise people, he never gives anyone any advice easily, but once he speaks, then you only need to do one thing, remember every word he has said carefully, and then execute it accurately, and in the end, you will get unexpected rewards." ”

Blaise shrugged noncommittally and asked, "Even if his advice will affect you for the rest of your life?" Do you do what you say? ”

Barnett turned around and put his arms around Blaitze, and laughed, "Then you should do as he says!" Because that's going to turn your life upside down. ”

Blaise smiled bitterly, "Do you listen to every suggestion he makes?" ”

Barnett replied, "I wish he would give me a piece of advice every day, so that I would soon be the richest man in the world." ”

Andrew laughed, and the three of them quickly left the box.

Aldridge returned to the dressing room to praise his team's performance in the second half. Even if Ronaldo and Fanny didn't have a direct data contribution. But their efforts on the defensive end are there for all to see. That's why Aldrich deserves to praise them.

Coming to the post-match press conference, Ferguson had already left, he expressed his disappointment with the result, believing that Manchester United and Millwall were evenly matched, and that Manchester United should have the advantage, even if they played away, they should at least get a draw, but luck was not on Manchester United's side.

He always thought that Glen Shire's winning goal was a dribble.

In the face of inquiries from reporters based on Ferguson's remarks. Aldridge's expression was as usual and said lightly: "He is right, there is not much difference in strength between the two teams, the key is to play on the spot, we limited the play of Beckham, Giggs, Scholes for most of the time, this is the reason why we won in the end, failed to let Manchester United score more goals, first of all, the credit of the defense, and secondly on the offensive line." Millwall didn't play particularly well today, at least I'm not satisfied. Our two goals, one from set-pieces and the other from individual players, are far from what I want them to be, they still have the potential to be tapped, and they are expected to reach the top in two to three years. ”

'What about Andrea Pirlo and Larsson? Will it affect the team's upcoming matches? ”

David Miller is more concerned about this issue.

After letting go of Ballack in the summer, an injury to Andrea Pirlo in this key position would have caused Millwall's attack to be immeasurably damaged.

Despite the presence of Frank Lampard in the squad, his performances over the past two years have not impressed the outside world, or rather, football professionals who care about Millwall are debating where Frank Lampard should play.

Millwall's three midfielders have a reasonable division of labor, defensive midfielders, dragger organization, and attacking forwards.

Frank Lampard looks like he can play in every position, but he doesn't play well in every position, a bit of an all-around but mediocre feeling.

According to the preliminary diagnosis of the team doctor, the two may miss at least a month, and the detailed results will need to be checked before they are known. Losing these two will of course be a blow to Millwall, but this is football, there is no club whose main players are not injured, and mature teams, especially strong teams, should face this situation with a calm mind, as a manager, I will do my best to make up for the loss of strength and Millwall will overcome this difficulty. ”

Aldridge was at peace after the game, and when a player was injured, he was angry, worried, but when the facts couldn't be changed, he would think differently: this is his challenge.

What top manager hasn't experienced the dilemma after a large number of injuries to the main team? If you can lead the team to overcome difficulties and get out of the quagmire, then you are a dragon, and if you can't get out, then you are just a puddle of mud.

Millwall had gone so many big players in the summer, two more injuries at the start of the new season, and Aldridge still wanted to win the league title, and deep down, he thought it was more exciting now than it was in the past.

After the press conference, Aldridge drove away from the club to pick up Melanie at the airport, and the Spice Girls' global tour was about to kick off in North America, and she stole a two-day vacation back to London to meet Aldrich.

On the drive to the airport, Barnett's phone called.

"Eat? Another day? ”

"There's something important I want to talk to you about."

"Do you want to keep it a secret?"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm going to pick up my girlfriend, can we do it together?"

"Melanie, it's okay, come on."

After hanging up the phone, Aldrich was curious, and he didn't know what important things Brother Lu Dao wanted to talk about with him.

If it's a business matter, he really doesn't have much interest, mainly because he doesn't have goods in his stomach.

He has said everything he can say, as long as Barnett grasps the mainstream direction and trend, carves up the Internet market as soon as possible, and when the market matures in the future, the company will go public and become rich overnight, not to mention that he is now a billionaire.

Aldridge now has nearly 10 million pounds in his private account, and Barnett has paid dividends to his account in the past two years, and Aldridge does not care much about the value of his shares in the company. Millwall FC is now his personal property. The club's value is estimated to be in excess of £200 million.

On the side of the street outside the airport. Melanie, who was carrying a casual bag, a crisp white dress, and sunglasses to hide her face, pulled the car door open and sat in when Aldrich pulled over on the side of the road, and the first thing she said was, "Victoria asked me to thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?"

Aldrich started his car and went to the hotel to meet Barnett.

Melanie laughed, "Of course it's for Beckham." ”

Aldrich shook his head and said: "It has nothing to do with personal relationships, I just expressed my own opinion and changed it to someone else." I would say the same. ”

He treats things wrongly, and letting the outside world tolerate Beckham is not about anyone's face, just like he won't whitewash Beckham's red card.

There is no controversy about the red card for retaliatory action, but how to look at it is another matter, and it is indeed overdone to rise to the level of a national sinner.

"Anyway, she thanked you. Where is this going? ”

"Barnett, please eat."

Melanie was so excited that she took two days off and ran back to London to live with Aldrich.

Aldrich gave her an apologetic look and said, "He said he had something important to talk to me about." ”

Melanie smiled and said, "I understand, let's go." See what's delicious. ”

When he arrived in the private room of the hotel, Aldrich realized that today's dinner was not just an invitation from Barnett. Not only Andrew was there, but there was also a man he didn't know.

Barnett took the initiative to pull out the chair for Melanie, and said with a smile: "I was amazed by your influence in the United States. ”

Melanie sat down and asked curiously, "Will you go to the concert?" ”

Barnett shook his head and said, "I'm too busy, I don't have time, I'll go to the show next time." ”

He wasn't complimenting Melanie, the sensation caused by the Spice Girls' entry into North America was obvious to all, and tickets for the concert were sold out early.

Aldrich politely held out his right hand to the strange man and said, "Hello, first meeting, Aldrich Hall, this is my girlfriend, Melanie Chisholm." ”

Instead of shaking hands with him, the other party opened his hands and simply hugged Aldrich.

He laughed, "No, it's not the first time we've met, the last time we met was fifteen years ago, and at the time, uh, you should have been around six or seven years old, probably, so tall. ”

He gestured with his hand to the height above the ground, and Aldrich looked surprised and asked, "Really?" Fifteen years ago? I don't really remember exactly. ”

Aldrich recalled carefully, although he was ten years old when he crossed over, his previous memories were still retained, but it was too old to remember it.

Andrew laughed and said, "Aldrich, he is our cousin, Blaise Hall, before he became mayor of the town, he would come to our house once a year, but every time he came, you were not at home, who made you not at home for almost ten months a year." ”

Aldrich suddenly realized, and said, "It turns out that you are the son of Uncle Brooke, and I have often heard Arthur mention you. ”

Brooke and Arthur are brothers, but when Brooke was young, he pursued his current wife and settled in another county, and I don't know if it was because Arthur's family became richer and richer, and their relationship between them became dull.

Arthur visited his brother at Brooke's house several times a year, and occasionally Aldrich would hear him talk about Uncle Brooke and his son Blaitze.

This is the right number.

Everyone took their seats one after another, Aldrich sat Melanie on his left, opposite Blaitze, and Aldrich and Blaise grew acquainted through conversation before the meal was served.

This cousin, who is nearly thirty years old, is really remarkable, is a civil servant, is the mayor of Kent, and is also a member of the Conservative Party, but unfortunately the rank is a bit low.

Aldridge admires the other party's sincerity, and if he doesn't have the advantage of foresight, he will definitely not be able to mix with the other party's current height.

But Blaise admires Aldridge even more, Arthur's three children are really dragon brothers and tiger brothers, and their careers are thriving, who doesn't envy them?

When dinner began, Aldrich and Melanie were talking about what was delicious for dinner, and as they ate, he suddenly turned to Barnett and asked, "Didn't you say you had something to do with me?" ”

Barnett picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and said solemnly, "Blaise doesn't want to be mayor anymore. ”

Aldrich looked at the cousin in surprise and asked, "Is the mayor bad?" Are you planning to change careers? Do business? ”

Blaise smiled and shook his head.

Barnett continued, "I mean, he wants to go further in his career, Mayor Mare, a little bit low. ”

Aldrich was confused and asked rhetorically: "But I'm not a politician, and I don't know big politicians, so I can't help." ”

After he said this, he was stunned, and then lowered his head and began to think deeply.

It seems that he has thought of something again (to be continued......
