With the increasing development of television broadcasting technology, the rapid growth of the benefits generated by football matches through broadcasting, coupled with the fact that the value of star players has only risen but not fallen, the operating costs of clubs are increasing day by day, and the G14 organization came into being in order to pursue profits and reduce business risks.

Edwards brought the "European Super League", which he often talked about at the Premier League owners' roundtable, to the G14 meeting, although the organization has not yet been formally established, but when it comes to forming a prototype, there is a goal and a position to bind everyone together.

There is no doubt that UEFA is only the organizer, and its biggest brand is the Champions League, and the pillars of the Champions League are these European giants.

"European Super League" is just an idea, but this idea is enough to make UEFA panic, Aldridge was almost silent from beginning to end when he participated in the first G14 meeting, he is self-aware, he is sitting here only a supporting role, and it is a very inconspicuous supporting role, this organization needs the most influential clubs in Europe to join, than history, Millwall is certainly not as good as Liverpool, nor as good as the teams that have won the Champions League here, but Millwall, which has set off a youth storm in Europe in the past two years, There is no doubt that they have enough popularity, at least, Millwall compared to Borussia Dortmund, Ajax and Ligue 1 teams, etc., no one dares to say that Millwall is inferior to them in terms of influence.

But Aldridge put himself in the right position, and only listened and did not speak, if he really talked about it. It's just offensive. Exclusion.

Millwall was able to join here. It's already cheap, so don't get an inch.

At the very least, the G14 is a quantitative representation of a club's standing in Europe.

They meet secretly in Brussels, but the organization is not secretive and does not want to be secret, and once they have reached an internal agreement, they need to reveal their decisions and plans to UEFA for hearing or. UEFA conceded to them, or everybody split up, and we did our own European Super League, not going to the Champions League, to see who makes and who loses.

In addition to attending this meeting for the first time, Aldridge will not attend the G14 summit in the future, but Adam will be involved, and in fact the organization will also make stupid moves in the future to force UEFA to reform. The Champions League schedule has changed very strangely, and there are more games. It is true that there is a lot of broadcast income and bonuses, but it makes the giants fall into a quagmire when they fight on multiple fronts.

After UEFA heard the news of the joint rebellion of the major European giants, it immediately began to contact the families of these giants, but everyone formed an alliance in advance and took the same position, UEFA has no way to do anything, and has begun to brew to revise the regulations of the Champions League next season, and it is impossible to change it in the 98/99 season, and there is no room for time.

The French World Cup is in full swing, and Aldrich and Evan, Brady, Saul, and the four of them have fun with Carter and some of his friends on a trip to Switzerland and skiing in the summer.

Even before the World Cup ended, England was in a state of anger and disappointment.

England were eliminated again, this time not Maradona's hand of God and the miracle of five people in a midfield run, the media and the public pointed the finger at England supernova David Beckham, whose irrational retaliatory actions led to his red card.

Beckham went directly to the United States, to his girlfriend Victoria for comfort, and the British media condemned him more and more.

Even after France defeated Brazil cleanly in the final to win the title, the British media's condemnation of Beckham was not over.

Aldridge couldn't get enough of his time in Switzerland, but his vacation came to an end after the World Cup.

Back in London, he held a press conference in mid-July.

Fleet Street tabloids and tabloid reporters flocked to the city.

The theme of today's press conference is that he is going to announce the transfer of the team.

But when he sat down, the reporters in the audience couldn't wait to raise their hands to ask questions.

Aldrich was surprised: I didn't say a word, what do you have to ask?

Because the outside world did not know the theme of today's press conference, someone directly raised his hand to ask questions, which made Aldrich puzzled.

But he still let Richard speak.

"Coach Hall, what do you think of David Beckham's red card at the World Cup in France?"

The other reporters all put their hands down, and it seemed that they wanted to ask the same question.

About David Beckham:

Just before the start of the World Cup, the British media believed that there were many new generation of English football idols, but the most popular ones were Aldridge and Beckham, and Owen was also expected, but when the World Cup ended, everyone's opinion changed, after all, Beckham became the sinner of the England national team.

Aldridge said calmly: "If you were asking about the red card, I don't think there was a problem, Beckham had a retaliatory move, and the referee's decision was not controversial. ”

"What do you think of Diego Simeone's exaggerated downfall?"

"It has nothing to do with Simeone's actions, the nature of Beckham's foul is a red card action, no matter how big or small the damage is caused, it's like, I was walking down the street and was attacked by gangsters, maybe I just got bruised, but I was holding the wound and screaming, is it wrong? Whether or not I exaggerate the injuries I suffered, the fact that I was attacked was not a fabrication. ”

"So, is David Beckham solely responsible for England's defeat?"

Aldridge shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't think so, the media is very strange, when Beckham didn't play in the group stage, you complained that Hoddle didn't give Beckham a chance, and when he made a mistake on the field, you treated him as a sinner again, the England national team has a coach, there are more than 20 players, winning the game, it's not all Beckham's credit, losing, shouldn't be all his responsibility, he is still young, I believe this experience is a valuable experience for him, can make him more mature in the future, more suitable for the big scene." ”

"There is news. David Beckham will leave England in the summer. ”

"No way. Ferguson won't let him go. And I'm sure that his stay at Manchester United is the most correct thing for his growth and development, well, this is the end of the topic of Beckham, if you want to know my opinion, I can only say one thing at the end: failure is the past, eyes forward. David Beckham is a good player, but he's not a god. Please give him more tolerance, and he will repay England with his actions. ”

Aldrich's voice fell, and the scene fell silent.

In fact, the reporters are not too big to watch the excitement, they fanned the flames in public opinion, causing many extreme fans in England to run to Beckham's house to insult and throw stones to attack the mansion.

After the reporters put Beckham down, they looked up at Aldridge and waited for him to reveal the mystery of the press conference.

Aldridge cleared his throat and said calmly: "Today I am here to announce the transfer of several players. Millwall's recruitment is ongoing and there is no comment for the time being. However, there are a few players who will move away. ”

The reporters were shaken.

A few players!

Millwall: It's the rhythm of supermarket openings!

Good guys, can't Ajax in England escape the fate of being hollowed out?

Aldridge said lightly: "Shevchenko transferred to AC Milan for a transfer fee of 18 million pounds, and the deal has been reached. ”

Many reporters have guessed that Shevchenko will transfer, and Shevchenko's unusual emotional expression after winning the Champions League final is a sign of his departure.

"Trezeguet £18 million move to Juventus."

The reporters were amazed.

Damn, both strikers are sold?

But after thinking about it, the top honors of the Trezeguet Club have been won, and the just-concluded World Cup has become the champion of the World Cup, this kid Jinnima has a good life!

However, Millwall's sell-out situation is too surprising, the three main strikers have gone, and what about Larsson? Will he go too?

"Ballack moves to Real Madrid for £15 million."

Barack?!

The German.

The reporters looked at each other, Real Madrid bought Ballack, and it might squeeze out the position of Karembo.

Ballack + Redondo + Seedorf, these three midfield combinations are really top-notch.

In fact, the outside world has been arguing about who should occupy the main midfield position of Millwall more than Ballack or Pirlo, and this debate is deadlocked, because each has its own strengths, and now the answer is out, Ballack took the initiative to leave, and Pirlo's main force can not be shaken.

Frank Lampard? Even Fleet Street doesn't think homegrown newcomer Frank Lampard will be able to challenge Andrea Pirlo anytime soon.

"Elguera £20 million to Real Madrid."

The Spanish centre-back is also leaving?

It's going to Real Madrid again, no wonder, the Spaniards, returning to their hometown or joining the top giants, poor Southgate, watching the partners around him leave one after another, leaving Stam first, Elgra is also gone now.

'Capdevilla moves to Deportivo La Coruna for £12 million.'

The Spanish full-back also went back to his home country?

Not to mention, at this stage, La Liga teams have money, from the broadcast rights war, so that La Liga clubs have a lot of money to enrich the squad, and when Real Madrid and Barcelona sell the broadcast rights alone in the future, the income of other teams in La Liga will plummet.

Deportivo La Coruna is ambitious, not only brought in Irueta in the summer, but also introduced a lot of strong players in the transfer market, Pauleta, Pablo, Romero, and now Capdevilla, if you can really make a shape, the future should not be underestimated.

There was silence as everyone waited for Aldrich to continue to make an announcement.

Aldridge spread his hands and said: "No, the other players have signed new contracts with the club. ”

won the Champions League, Millwall will make a big leap in the new season whether it is from the Champions League bonus broadcast fee or commercial sponsorship income, so Aldridge directly increased the salary of the first-team players by 30% as a whole, which is also his usual practice, and he can't really wait for the team's salary to have a particularly big gap with the giant team before talking to the player about raising the salary and renewing the contract, in that case, whether emotionally or in terms of posture, Millwall is very passive, and renew the contract early, give the player a salary increase, the player is happy, and the club sleeps peacefully, Even if a player wants to transfer, the contract is absolutely safe, and the seller can sell it for a good price.

The reporters scratched their pens in their notebooks and came up with a surprising number.

Grass, Millwall just started the transfer market this summer, and they made a net income of £83 million!

You're earning more than the real Ajax!

Counting the income and expenditure of the transfer market in previous years, Millwall has made a net profit of more than 100 million in four years! (To be continued......)
