449 Conquer the masses
Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——
On Friday night, Aldrich went back to his parents' house in the eastern suburbs for the night, and the next morning, his mother Amelia prepared breakfast early.
Even though the family is still rich and wealthy, Amelia, who has lived in the working class for half her life, is still used to doing it herself, especially housework, and does not feel tired, or if she is not a complete housewife, she does not know how to pass the time.
"When are you going to bring Bert and Earl to London?"
Amelia asked as she put breakfast in front of Aldrich and poured him milk.
Aldrich said casually, "It's good that they live with Melanie's parents. ”
"Isn't Melanie working in London?"
"Yes."
"Have you seen each other?"
"Nope."
"Then this issue needs to be discussed, you are parents, but you are not with your children, how can this work?"
Aldrich sighed and said softly: "I don't want to be in the current situation, but I have the right to be a father, but I don't have the right to take away the child, to put it simply, I can go to see the child, but where the child lives and who is taking care of it is Melanie's decision, unless my son is not taken care of and has a bad upbringing." ”
Amelia frowned.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, in a cosmopolitan city like London, where relationships are complicated, and it is also popular for single mothers to have children who do not get married, or women who only want children but not men.
She'd heard about it, and when she heard it, she forgot about it. But it happened to her own son. But I feel tricky.
Arthur came down from the stairs in his pajamas. Sitting at the top of the dining table with a yawn, he picked up today's newspaper and read it, looked at it and widened his eyes, slapped the newspaper on the table, and scolded: "Big pen! ”
Aldridge turned to look at Amelia and smiled: "If my son listens to him swear every day here, I'd rather let my son live in Liverpool." ”
Amelia rolled her eyes, and there was nothing she could do about Arthur, who was so virtuous. It's all over 50, can you still change it?
Aldrich knew that Arthur must have been annoyed by the contents of the newspapers, and sometimes the old rascal liked to get into the horns, and wrote some unpleasant comments or specious news in the newspapers, and threw them aside if he didn't want to read them, but he always sulked himself.
He didn't speak, he ate breakfast quietly, but he didn't eat two bites, Arthur really couldn't hold back his words, and said to him, "Son." What do you say some people are so arrogant? ”
"Oops, what's the newspaper writing again?"
"I'm weird. That old bastard Bates said from time to time that Chelsea would become the Roma he built, but Chelsea didn't even have a Premier League title, he was crazy! Hehe, now, isn't Leeds United temporarily ranked second in the league, Ritzdale actually said that they will be able to surpass Millwall in a few years, and they will not pee Alas, when our Wild Lions were in the Premier League, I didn't seem to say anything, right? It's not ashamed to brag about yourself, these people, the more they live, the more shameless they become! ”
Seeing Arthur sigh, Aldrich laughed.
Arthur asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Laugh at your innocence."
"Am I simple?"
"Hmm."
"You're scolding me?"
"No, I'm just telling the facts. It's a fact that they are shameless, but they are not arrogant, they just seize the opportunity to increase the visibility and exposure of their team. Over the past few years, Millwall has followed the same path with them. ”
Arthur looked at Aldrich, who was smiling, and wondered: "A way? I don't give interviews all year round, and I don't make any presumptuous statements. ”
Aldridge bit his face and said vaguely: "They make a high-profile appearance when the team has a good record, make some high-profile statements, let the outside world pay attention to their team, in a sense, this is a propaganda strategy, if the team has a good record and the club has no voice, it will be forgotten soon, because it is difficult to ensure that the team has been performing well, and the attention of the outside world will quickly shift, they are just to create a sensation with their words." Our public relations department has been trying to establish a good relationship with the major mainstream media, and use some scoops in exchange for their publicity in the news, otherwise, why do you think the outside world talks about Millwall every day? There are so many strong teams in Europe, there are goals every week, and there are strong teams playing consecutive wins or wonderful games in every period, but Millwall has won 6 consecutive victories in a row, and 7 consecutive wins can be hyped up, Hitler's propaganda minister, do you know who Lu Dao is? ”
Arthur's chubby face shook and said: "I came out after middle school and mixed up, I know Hitler, I don't know who his propaganda minister is, but you dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school, do you know what you do?" ”
Aldrich squirted bread from his mouth, wiped his mouth, and smiled, "Goebbels." He was very skilled in public propaganda, such as saying that if he wanted to lie, he would tell a big lie! Because big lies often have some kind of credible power. From a psychological point of view, it is explained that ordinary people have lied, but they are all small lies, they dare not tell a big lie, so they subconsciously think that others do not dare, so when someone tells a big lie, they think that there is a certain credibility. I'm sitting here with you talking about the remarks of Bates and Ritzdale, thinking that it is a brazen distortion of the facts, Chelsea, Leeds United, compared with the real giants, is 108,000 miles away, but Chelsea has invested a lot in a row, Leeds United has made a sensational recruitment in the summer, supplemented by a good record, they tell a big lie, there will definitely be some people who choose to believe or expect them, even if they keep a cool head, but they will continue to pay attention to Chelsea and Leeds United to see if they can succeed. Waiting to expose their lies, but the result doesn't matter at all, the attention and sustained attention that can be brought to Chelsea and Leeds United is what Bates and Ritzdale want most! ”
Arthur narrowed his eyes and said to himself, "These two bastards are quite a set!" I see. I thought they were bad writers. It seems that I am ignorant. ”
Aldrich laughed. Arthur is like this, scolding people with pleasure, but he never disguises himself, does not pretend to be a nobleman, does not pretend to be deep, and does not pretend to be a gentleman.
He began to eat breakfast, and when he was relieved of his doubts, he had nothing to be angry about. Despite the Leeds United president's overtaking of Millwall's rhetoric, he was still upset.
"Son, do we lie once in a while? For example, Millwall will become the most awesome club in the history of the whole earth, the whole universe, and the whole human history? ”
Ahem, ahem.
Aldridge laughed so hard that tears came out, he had a terrible breakfast today, but he was in a good mood.
When he cleaned up the mess in front of him and drank saliva to moisten his throat, he turned his head to Arthur and smiled: "Goebbels also famously said that there is only one goal of propaganda, and that is to conquer the masses!" ”
Arthur chewed on the sausage. Rhetorical asked, "What do you mean?" Have something to do with us? ”
Aldridge explained to him: "We worked tirelessly to promote the team and keep the team the talk of the town. Over time, Millwall will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if a person who doesn't care about football, maybe in the future, when he hears Millwall's name, he will know that this is a football club, and no matter what position the fans are, they will know Millwall, in order to keep up with the mainstream, they will also have a rough understanding of Millwall, this is the purpose of our propaganda, of course, this cannot be done in a short period of time, it takes a time to accumulate, compared to the high-profile propaganda strategy that cannot be fulfilled, I think this is the most correct way. ”
There are various means of propaganda, but there are also good and evil.
It's like hype is a truth, some people rely on scandals to become famous, and some people rely on real talent and hard work to get to the top, this kind of story is staged in England every day, and a woman who has become famous is like a carp crossing the river, but it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and it is impossible to continue to be brilliant.
After hearing this, Arthur nodded and said, "Son, I support you and believe that you will be able to do it." ”
After breakfast, Aldrich chatted with his parents for a while and went to work happily.
The trip to Leeds United was played on Sunday, with the morning training at the club completed today, followed by a pre-match preparation meeting in the afternoon, and by the time Aldridge was ready to attend the pre-match press conference, Saturday's Premier League report was also released.
He doesn't care what other teams are doing, but everyone else does.
Manchester United beat Aston Villa by three goals at Old Trafford to wash away the slump of White Hart Lane.
Arsenal drew at home to the Magpies Newcastle United, and after Bobby Robson's return to the Premier League, Newcastle United's record improved significantly, and he made Arsene Wenger suffer as well.
Leeds United slipped to third place in the table before the game even began, and they were level on points with Arsenal, one point behind Manchester United.
Aldridge attended the press conference today with a new spirit, in the past he was calm and composed, and occasionally he felt relaxed, but today he seems to be full of sharpness.
When he walked into the venue, he gave people a different aura, and before sitting down, he smiled at all the reporters present: "Hey, gentlemen, is there anything you want to ask?" Unfortunately, tomorrow is not the top game, Leeds United have dropped one place. ”
The reporters were shocked, and they could feel it, and from the spirit of the young marshal, they could feel the fighting spirit he exuded.
Come to think of it, Leeds United have been a bit crazy lately!
What's wrong with Ritzdale's remarks that he is the chairman, imagining the future of the team and drawing a pie for the eager fans?
What club president doesn't often do this kind of immoral thing with empty promises to earn applause?
Leeds United's O'Reilly claimed to have won against Millwall last season and are unbeaten, and he has enough experience to deal with Aldridge and Millwall, which is a bit of a stretch.
Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, and Chelsea's three managers over the years, including Keegan, who led Newcastle United to the title, who the would dare to pack a ticket to say they could play against Millwall? People are low-key and accumulate character, throwing pressure on Millwall, O'Reilly doesn't know if he wants to motivate the team, and he actually speaks wildly!
Oh, Keegan seems to have gone crazy too, and did knock out Millwall in a single-season double cup competition, but what was the worst outcome? Keegan was kicked straight away from the coveted league title and couldn't hold his head up in front of sworn rival Alex Ferguson.
Not only O'Reilly, but Leeds United are all preparing for this game, and in an interview, they have vowed to beat the unbeatable Millwall at Elland Road.
Alan Smith, Bowyer, Colwill and other players are murderous.
However, Millwall veterans such as Ferdinand, Mills, and Duff deliberately avoided this topic, and I don't know if they were afraid of Millwall or unwilling to fight with their old club.
Aldridge was happy today and scrappy.
Well, it's good, I'm not afraid that no one will provoke, I'm afraid that the Premier League is all a bunch of cowards!
It's been a long time since he was despised by anyone, and the last person to despise him seemed to be Van Gaal.
How many Barcelona were hit, have forgotten.
It doesn't matter, the rising Leeds United is sent to the door, let's have a big battle with all the firepower! (To be continued......)
