The Young Lion

Bell has actually been on the watch list of Millwall's scouting network.

It's just that the list is very similar to the list of active players filed by the FA, especially the young players.

He is not yet 16 years old, so Millwall will naturally not list him as a very important signing target. To put it bluntly, he has not even signed a professional contract. People like Alves, Pepe, and Neuer have at least entered the professional team, have more than half professional or professional, and even top-level performances are easier for people to position and evaluate. For example, if the Millwall executives issue scouting tasks, then The scout sent out must be confused. He doesn't know how to investigate Bell, or what to pay attention to Bell secretly, and what is the evaluation standard? Do you train? That was downright amateurish.

Now Bale is receiving football training at Southampton's satellite academy, and he has reached a fork in his life, that is, the first professional contract is about to come.

He has his own rights and can choose not to sign with Southampton, but that seems too ungrateful.

This time when he came to Millwall to play in the youth team, Bell also planned to come here to recommend himself and have a trial training.

Although he is from Welsh, football is in the UK, England is the boss, there is no controversy.

Millwall's youth training base, which is known as the cradle of superstars by the outside world, is the holy place in the hearts of many young people who dream of becoming famous with one goal!

Young players who have not experienced the brutal competition in the professional league cannot understand the difficulties, but they think optimistically if they can get ahead in Millwall. Then player value. Horizontal positioning is very clear!

Able to be the main force of the first team at Millwall. I dare not say that it is definitely the top 10 in the world, but at least the top 100 is no problem. This also needs to distinguish players in different positions. That is to say, among the forwards, Henry ranks in the world. It doesn't matter, but at least the top five must be guaranteed. Like kaka. De Rossi and Alonso have actually risen rapidly in the competition for players in the same position. After this season, I dare not say that the top five, but the top ten will definitely be no problem.

In other words, success at Millwall is one step up to the sky, and if you go to Leverkusen, Valencia. Liverpool and other teams, even the boss in the team. Absolute core, but in the competition of the same position, it may not even make it into the top ten in the world.

Aldrich didn't know why Bert hadn't come out for a long time today, so he took Bell to visit the football academy.

Bell seemed absent-minded along the way, and he was a little worried about gains and losses. He hoped to come to Millwall for trial training, but he was afraid of failing, but felt that if he succeeded, there would still be new problems.

That is,

If he turned his back on Southampton, he would feel somewhat guilty in his heart.

Aldrich was good at observing words and expressions, and he asked Bell directly: What's on your mind?

The two returned to the gate of the college at this time. Before parting, he said to Aldrich: I want to come to Millwall for trial training, but I don't know whether I want to succeed or fail. If I succeed, I will leave Southampton. It’s a satellite college in Dunton, but I’ve been there for a long time before, and if it fails, I think I will be sad for a long time.”

Aldridge smiled when he heard the words, rubbed his head, and said: Your thinking is normal, and I appreciate it too. In this way, you go back and sign with Southampton first, and then come to Millwall for trial training. For you , is also an extra layer of protection.”

Bell stood there thinking for a long time before he figured out what Aldrich meant.

Letting him go back and sign with Southampton is a natural result of the club's youth training system.

After signing the contract, he will come to Millwall for trial training. If he is unsuccessful, he will still be a Southampton player.

If it succeeds, then if Millwall wants him, he will have to negotiate with the Southampton club.

In this way, at least he doesn't have to be caught in the middle, and secondly, it won't cause disputes between clubs.

Bell was full of emotion while sitting on the return bus, at least the first meeting with Aldridge, he thought that Aldridge was a very free and easy man who did not care about trifles or preoccupations.

In fact, Millwall no longer bothers to do the kind of thing that uses loopholes in the rules to poach people.

If the image of the club is not good, and if it causes controversy, annoying things will come one after another.

The absolute superstar dare not say that he will be able to buy it.

But if we talk about talented players, they will not use methods other than the rules

Many other children from the football school came out to go home with their parents. When it was getting dark, Aldrich hadn’t waited for Bert to come out. He just took out his phone and wanted to call the director of the football school, but saw One of Bert's coaches, Jones, followed Bert.

Aldrich's heart tightened suddenly, because he saw that Burt was all dirty, with a schoolbag in his hand, a bruised scar on his face, and blood on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be a nosebleed wiped horizontally with the back of his hand. Bundle.

Bert looked calm and looked in a bad mood.

Yes, if he was angry, he would be maddeningly silent, rarely outburst, unlike other children who would either cry their hearts out or run wild.

It seemed obvious that it was a fight!

Bert didn't say hello to Aldrich when he came over, he went straight to the parking lot and waited beside Aldrich's car.

Jones came to Aldridge's side and sighed: There was an accident in the training match. Children pay too much attention to winning or losing. Bert made a big foul and caused conflicts. They punched each other twice. It shouldn't be serious. Originally, we thought Take Bert to the medical department, but he doesn't want to.

Aldridge nodded, patted Jones on the arm, and said with a smile, Children fight, it's common. I'll go first, bye.

After saying goodbye to Jones, Aldridge returned to the parking lot and got into the car with Bert. Aldridge drove away without saying a word.

Halfway home, Aldrich turned his head to look at Bert, who was in a daze with his head down, and asked, Who won the fight?

I, he cried.

Burt subconsciously answered Aldrich's question.

Then why are you unhappy?

Aldridge seldom criticizes his children. When encountering problems, he always tries to convince others with reason. It may be because of his education method that although his two sons sometimes get into trouble, they are not afraid of it. There will be nonsense and no repentance.

Burt rubbed his face with both hands, probably touching the wound from the punch, hissed hissing in pain, and said, Because, I think, I feel like, I actually lost.

Ah? Why? You beat him and he cried. Shouldn't you be the winner?

Bert lowered his head with a tangled expression, and said in a low voice: It's true that I made too much foul and kicked his leg. I was wrong first, and then I beat him to tears. I, I was like a bad guy. .”

Aldrich raised his eyebrows, smiled silently, and said, If you apologize to him tomorrow, maybe you're not too bad a villain, aren't you?

Bert raised his head with a look of embarrassment, and looked at Aldridge.

Children also have self-esteem, and there is not much psychological burden on the elders for admitting mistakes, but it is a bit embarrassing to admit mistakes to friends.

Why, are you scared?

Aldridge teased.

What have I to be afraid of?

What about your courage? Isn't it right to have the courage to admit your mistakes?

I'll try.

After driving home, Aldrich found that Earl was not at home. Ivan said that Melanie took Earl to shoot a new children's commercial, and asked Earl for leave, planning to take Earl to travel around.

Aldrich suddenly felt dizzy.

Earl was originally restless in school, and he was a bad student, because he always tried his best to play truant. Now, Melanie can help him ask for leave from school in a fair manner. No matter what he is going to do, Earl will definitely agree.

Burt went upstairs to his room after dinner, while Aldridge sat on the carpet in the living room, resting his chin on his hands and watching his little daughter Bonnie play an electronic organ. Fingers to play the piano, and then listen to the melody of the tone, Aldridge just watched and did not disturb her, but watching, he found Bonnie showing an unhappy expression, finally pushed the electronic piano away, and walked in front of Aldrich , looked up at him and said: This is not good, I want a big piano.

Aldrich was confused, he hugged her tenderly, and asked, What kind of big qin, my father can't understand it.

Bonnie stretched her arms and drew a circle, saying, It's a big, big piano.

At this moment, Yiwen came from behind and sat beside Aldrich, snuggled up to him and said with a smile: Take her to play at Annie's house in the afternoon. Annie's daughter is already four years old and she has to practice at home every day. Playing the piano, Bonnie, seems to be obsessed. I played in front of the piano all afternoon. On the way back, I clamored for a piano. I bought her an electronic piano for convenience. It was just a toy. I didn’t expect it. , she is still not satisfied.

Aldrich understood, it turned out to be a piano.

No wonder Bonnie became more and more unhappy when she pressed the keyboard to listen to the melody just now. The sound of the piano is clear and pleasant, so it is naturally easier to like it.

Aldrich, who was holding Bonnie, said casually, Then buy her a piano.

Huh? You won't force her to practice the piano every day in the future, will you torture her?

No, just treat it as a toy, as long as she likes it, if she doesn't like it, put it there as a decoration, I think, it may also make the decoration of the home more elegant. And, maybe she is a talented woman?

After speaking to Ivan, Aldrich hugged Bonnie, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile, Isn't that right, little Mozart.

Bonnie asked innocently: Who is Mozart?

Aldridge and Ivan smiled at each other. (to be continued...)
