The Young Lion

There is no doubt that in 2006, the world's number one goalkeeper was Buffon, Iker Casillas, Kahn, Reina, Van der Sar, and they could not compare with Buffon in terms of goalkeeper comprehensive score data.

Millwall has always been vigorous and decisive in the transfer market, which is very consistent with Aldridge's style of conduct.

In just half a day, they opened the door of Juventus, and they could hold talks with Buffon.

Before that, Buffon was in no rush to meet Millwall's representatives, and he had talks with his agent Martina at home.

Really? The people from Millwall came to Turin, hoping to buy me?

Buffon asked his agent in an uncertain tone.

Martina nodded excitedly, and said in a deep voice: It's true, Juventus has agreed to the transfer price of 35 million euros, which is already much higher than their psychological price. About 25 million euros they will agree, but they need Abbiati, who was on loan last season, to stay in Turin to replace you, but now, with 35 million euros, they can re-find a goalkeeper without having to follow Milan make troublesome deals.

Yeah?

Buffon lowered his head and murmured.

In fact, he has made a good plan to transfer. The deal between Juventus and Milan, the holy alliance, seems to be a matter of course. Abbiati, who was on loan from Milan last season, was absent because of his injury. The candidate to play the main goalkeeper on behalf of the team, the league and the Champions League, he only played 22 times last season.

Is the news true? The Millwall manager is here too?

After Buffon realized how the club's transfer operation had changed, his expression became a little excited.

Millwall!

past 9 seasons. Seven Champions League Champions!

Martina said happily: Of course it is true! He will come here. It means that he attaches great importance to you! Don't worry. Everything is true! The best goalkeeper in the world, the best coach in the world, The strongest club in the world, this is simply the most wonderful combination!

Buffon grinned silently, then frowned again, and said: But I heard David talk about this head coach, he said that Aldridge Hall is very good to the players, he would not let me play as a substitute Right? Pagliuca just retired. There's a shortage of goalkeepers at Millwall.

Martina waved his hand,

Almost wanting to dance on the spot, he smiled and said: Don't be stupid! Aldrich Hall is not a fool, who are you? Buffon! The world champion goalkeeper, who is Millwall's main goalkeeper? Bout! He is the third goalkeeper of the third-placed German team in the World Cup. Buy you back to be a substitute for Bout? How is it possible? Millwall is famously budget-conscious in the transfer market, spending 35 million euros to buy a substitute? I would rather believe The world is going to end tomorrow! Get ready, you'll be wearing a Millwall shirt and traveling from Italy to London with Aldrich Hall, it's going to be a great move. Like Aldridge Hall himself brought Nesta from Italy to England four years ago!

Buffon bowed his head and smiled, saying that it was fake not to be excited.

Especially in this phone gate incident. He was also accused, but it had nothing to do with manipulating the game, but gambling. As for whether he bet on his team to affect the result of the game, it is impossible to know.

Buffon smiled and said nothing, but his agent was excited and talked more and more vigorously.

The World Cup champion goalkeeper, the world's number one goalkeeper, this is not enough, you will be the hottest choice for the annual Ballon d'Or! Look, Cannavaro is so smart, he rushed straight into the arms of Real Madrid. If you stay Juventus, they are about to fall behind in the competition, my God, it is unimaginable, the Italian second division, that will make you completely disappear from the public's sight, go to Millwall, that will make you more dazzling, Even more glamorous! If Mirvolken builds momentum for you, do you know what will happen? You will become the second goalkeeper after Yashin to win the Ballon d'Or! This is great! Yes, I have to talk to Mir Wall included this condition in the negotiations, and got their commitment to fully support you to hit the Golden Globe!

Buffon's eyes widened in shock.

Indeed, after Italy won the World Cup, some voices in the media began to talk about Italian players winning the Golden Globe.

But Italy's defense is the key, so the eyes of the outside world are focused on Buffon and Cannavaro.

Originally, if Nesta had not missed the knockout round due to injury, if he could win the championship with the team as the main force throughout the whole process, with the prestige accumulated in Millwall over the years, the 30-year-old Nesta would have an absolute chance of winning the Ballon d'Or Higher than Cannavaro and Buffon, and will open up a significant gap.

But Nesta was injured and did not play in the knockout round. Materazzi performed very well, but he was beaten by Zidane. On the contrary, Materazzi became a villain. He suspected that he had insulting words to provoke Zidane. This makes Materazzi an enemy of many fans and the media. After all, the media also has a position, such as the French media!

Cannavaro went to Real Madrid. When Juventus fell during this period, the attention he received in Real Madrid will not be affected, and it will even be improved compared to Serie A. This will be selected in the Golden Globe Awards Get a lot of impression points.

Buffon hadn't thought of this, but his agent thought of it!

So this strengthened his determination to go to Millwall!

Aldridge participated in the club's negotiating team's talks with Buffon.

Both sides were very enthusiastic. After entering the topic, Buffon's agent made three requests.

The first is the guarantee of the main position.

If Millwall does not give the main position, Buffon will definitely not transfer.

On this point, Aldridge made a promise in person, telling Buffon frankly that he would be Millwall's main goalkeeper.

Although Buffon was curious about how Aldridge persuaded Bout to play as a substitute willingly, but since Aldridge had promised in person, he was relieved.

As an outsider, it is impossible to understand the situation in the Millwall team.

Consecutive high-level campaigns for many years will bring mental fatigue to the players. Secondly, after returning with a full load for many consecutive seasons, the players' aggressiveness will also decline, and it is inevitable that they will have the idea of ​​​​taking a break or simply stopping.

So Aldridge is always providing fresh blood to the team and speeding up the metabolism.

The second point is contract treatment.

Millwall is also generous in this regard.

What they want to buy is a goalkeeper who has the world's best strength, is in peak form, and is also in his prime. In terms of treatment, Buffon is given the highest level in the world in the field of goalkeepers. It is not a disgrace to his name, but it can also be regarded as Millwall. expression of sincerity.

The third point is to hope that Millwall will support Buffon in competing for the Golden Globe at the end of the year.

Aldrich did not agree to this.

He thought about it.

With Millwall's achievements in dominating Europe, many players in the team are popular candidates for the Golden Globe Award, and it has been for many years.

However, Henry's performance has declined last season, and there were not many amazing and beautiful performances in the World Cup, and he lost directly to Italy.

Ronaldinho was even worse. Brazil's chaos performance was much lower than the expectations of the outside world. Moreover, it was too difficult to win the Ballon d'Or for the third consecutive year. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the competition year, the judges may also be tired of it. Always pick among those few names.

Nesta is missing the perfect time!

The slightly soy sauce role in the World Cup means that it is impossible for him to become a favorite.

As for other players, either they lack prestige, or they have just been recognized as superstars, but it coincides with the World Cup year, and the national team has not performed well.

But Aldridge still had a thought in his mind: Maybe Ronaldo has a chance!

Yes, the Ballon d'Or is not based on season performance, but annual performance.

Ronaldo's performance in the first half of last season was mediocre, but after he was awakened by Aldridge's words, he finally ushered in a solid explosion in the second half of the season, especially in the Champions League final and scored twice. The final lore became Classic, in the World Cup, Portugal won the best ranking in 40 years, even though it was fourth, Ronaldo also contributed a lot.

The only negative factor is: In terms of media campaigns, Fleet Street will definitely not support Ronaldo!

It has been more than half a month since the end of the World Cup, and there are still Fleet Street media condemning Ronaldo. Some fans who hate Millwall also took the opportunity to make trouble, besieging Ronaldo's home in London, insulting and threatening Ronaldo.

The grievances in the World Cup will take time to fade, but Aldridge doesn't know how long this time will be.

a month? two months?

If it is a year, it will be too difficult for Ronaldo to win the Golden Globe this year. It is so big that he must use the image of an absolute strong to fight back against the world with his performance on the court when almost everyone is against him! Shut up everyone and eclipse his contemporaries!

For his disciples, Aldridge is of course emotionally inclined, Buffon is not yet his player, so at this point, he can't promise anything.

So Millwall can only use diplomatic rhetoric to deal with Buffon. The meaning is roughly that, although Millwall’s players win the Golden Globe, although the club will do public relations work, it will not focus on a certain player. In 2010, when Millwall players won the Golden Globe Award, three teammates ranked first, second and third. If Millwall officials can't keep their players as fair as possible, this will make the players feel dissatisfied and feel bad for the team. Internal unity is very unfavorable.

In the end, after a short period of negotiation, Buffon also made a concession. After all, they proposed three conditions. Millwall agreed to the first two very happily, and the last one was not considered a rejection.

In itself, Buffon's joining Millwall is a good momentum for Buffon's competition for the Golden Globe!

Staying at Juventus and relegated to Serie B, how many people will pay attention to Buffon's competitive performance in the next six months?

Oh, he's only remembered on national team day. (To be continued..)
