The Young Lion

Although Eindhoven is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands, it is well-known in Europe because it is one of the high-tech gathering places in Europe. 【Fengyun Novel Reading Network】

In the early morning, the quiet city is like a pool of calm lake water, which brings people a peaceful spiritual enjoyment before the busy traffic makes impetuous ripples.

In an ordinary apartment, there are several suitcases on the living room floor. A blond boy about 19 years old is sitting on the sofa with a blank face. He glances at his feet from time to time, his eyes full of confusion and panic.

He bent down, held his head in his hands and closed his eyes, clenching his teeth full of unwillingness.

Three years ago, he came to the Netherlands and joined the Dutch giants Eindhoven.

Two years ago, at the age of 17, he made his debut in the UEFA Champions League against the Spanish super giants, Barcelona in charge of Cruyff!

Today, two years later, he was abandoned by Eindhoven and terminated his contract!

Everything stemmed from his injured ankle, and PSV's team doctors were helpless, and eventually gave up the star of hope.

thump thump

The boy's father came down the stairs, holding the last suitcase.

The father had not yet retired, was also a football player, and was one of the most famous players in their country, but their country was not even considered a second-tier player in European football: Iceland.

A country with a population of only about 200,000 today.

The father saw his son holding his head in pain. He put down the suitcase and walked in front of his son. Suddenly, he found his son's tears dripping down his chin on the floor.

Edur, you have to be strong! Be strong! Let's go back to Iceland. You will make those who abandoned you regret it! Don't be like this. You are a man...

The father hugged his son's head to comfort him. His eye sockets were also moist.

The torment of injuries made the Icelandic boy suffer a lot, and being terminated by the team was a heavy blow.

He came to the Netherlands from Iceland and now he is going back again. This undoubtedly has a huge impact on his career, especially since he is about to turn 19, which is the most critical stage of his career development.

Dream about football,

Is it finished?

boom boom boom

There was a knock on the door.

Father calmed down and went to open the door. The young man also hastily wiped away his tears.

When the father opened the door, he saw two handsome and gentle youths standing outside.

Excuse me, is this Gudjohnsen's home?

Seeing that the person who opened the door was a man approaching middle age, Aldrich asked with a polite smile.

May I ask who you are?

The father stared at Aldrich's face thoughtfully, and before Aldridge reported himself, he was surprised: If I'm not mistaken, you are the head coach of Millwall, Mr. Hall, yes ?

The European Cup Winners' Cup came to an end in the Netherlands half a month ago, and Millwall's championship effect has not dissipated.

Aldridge felt a little proud: hehe. This is the benefit of a champion coach, although not everyone on the street knows him. At least in the football circle, we are not unknown people anymore.

He was smug in his heart, but his face was natural. He nodded and said, That's right, I'm Aldrich Hall, and this is my brother Andrew Hall. May I ask who you are?

My name is Noel Gudjohnsen, what do you want from me?

Old Gudjohnsen thought that the other party was looking for him, but Aldrich looked into the room and saw Edul Gudjohnsen on the sofa looking towards him with a curious expression on his face. .

Aldridge was sure he had found the right person.

Because Gudjohnsen's appearance features are very obvious, especially even the eyebrows are light golden.

Aldrich pointed to Gudjohnsen Jr., smiled and said, I'm sorry, I'm here to look for him.

Old Gudjohnsen looked back, wondering: Looking for my son? What's the matter?

Andrew and Aldridge had been standing outside the door with luggage bags in their hands, so he had to interject: Sir, can we please go in and sit down and talk?

Old Gudjohnsen reacted immediately, moved away, opened the door wide and stretched out his hand to invite them into the room.

Aldrich shook hands with Gudjohnsen Jr., and then sat down on the single sofa. Gudjohnsen and his son sat side by side, and Andrew stood beside Aldrich.

Let me just say it. I heard that Eidur is already a free agent. As the head coach of Millwall, I want to invite him to join my team. Eidur, are you interested in playing in London?

Aldrich got straight to the point, and as soon as he finished speaking, Gudjohnsen and his son had different expressions. The father frowned and hesitated, while the son's eyes brightened but then became gloomy.

For a while, the room fell into silence.

In the end, it was Gudjohnsen himself who said awkwardly: Mr. Hall, thank you for your appreciation. I am very happy that Millwall can invite me, but I must tell you the real situation.

Aldridge spread his hands and said, Have you reached an agreement with other teams?

Gudjohnsen Jr. shook his head and said: I was terminated by Eindhoven because my ankle was injured and repeated injuries made me unable to play, and even training could not be guaranteed.

Aldrich heard the words and asked back, So what?

His tone was relaxed, but Old Gudjohnsen was furious. He said angrily: Mr. Hall! You have never played football, and you don't understand the torture of injuries to players!

Aldrich made a gesture of pressing down to signal everyone not to get excited.

He said calmly: I don't think it's a big problem. If you are sick, you will be treated. It doesn't matter if you put it on anyone. If this hospital can't be cured, you will go to the second hospital. Maybe the Millwall you have heard is just an English club. , is a team that won the treble last year, but you don't know us, I can say without shame: Millwall has the best medical institution in the world of sports clubs, our medical team ensures the health of the players, We have cooperative relations with many top medical institutions in Europe and the United States. We are open and cautious in dealing with player injuries. We will not try to hide the player's condition. We will not let non-professionals act as team doctors. We cannot diagnose internally. When we are ill. We will seek help from more professionals. I have confidence in Eduer, and even more confidence in my team's medical team. If you suspect that I am talking big, then we can sign the contract first, so that I If you go back on your word, you will have to pay liquidated damages.”

Gudjohnsen and his son were speechless, they looked at each other. Somehow, the young commander in front of him, who was brimming with confidence from head to toe, had a convincing magic power in the words that came out of his mouth.

Millwall has not only won five championship trophies in the past two years, but is also famous in Europe for its youth army. Many European teams have the reputation of youth army, but it is another matter to make the youth army famous.

Aldridge did it, and Millwall became one of the good choices for young players to get ahead.

Little Gudjohnsen stood up and said to Aldridge without thinking for a long time, Mr. Hall, I accept your invitation.

Aldrich stood up and shook hands with him, smiled and said, Call me boss from now on.

Okay. Okay, boss. Boss...

Gudjohnsen Jr. is still a little uncomfortable, because it seems that Aldridge is almost the same age as him, and even because of Aldridge's handsome and clean face, Aldridge looks younger than him.

Next, the Hall brothers and Gudjohnsen and his son enjoyed a pleasant lunch in Eindhoven. The haze in the hearts of the father and son disappeared, at least they didn't have to go back to Iceland to seek a comeback.

Moreover, Gudjohnsen Jr. left Eindhoven and joined the Premier League upstart Millwall, which can be regarded as a big step forward in his career, but his future development trajectory still needs his own efforts.

Since Gudjohnsen was plagued by injuries in the second half of last season, he did not play the game and his training was not systematic, so he did not need to take a vacation. He flew to London that afternoon, and Aldridge called the club. Hello, order someone to go to the airport to meet the father and son. Next, Gudjohnsen will directly undergo a medical examination. If the ankle injury can be cured in a short period of time, then he can directly receive light training in the team. Jane Sen stayed at the club this summer, just waiting to receive many new players.

Aldridge's travel in the Netherlands has come to an end. Two players, Van der Meyde and Gudjohnsen, have joined to supplement the front line. In addition, Duff and Ronaldinho will enter the first team next season. Aldridge has two substitute forwards. After leaving the team, at least the number of forwards has been supplemented, but the arrival of newcomers will take a period of time to adapt, they are not the main force, as long as there is no large-scale striker injury in the early part of the new season, Millwall's striker lineup basically has no major problems.

But Aldridge is not satisfied, his next stop is Germany.

Millwall has Trezeguet and Ruud van Nistelrooy at centre-forward, but neither is the perfect centre-forward for Aldridge's tactics, as neither are particularly capable of setting the ball to their partners.

In his heart, the center forward who fits the most perfect Millwall tactical system is the main goal of his trip to Germany!

Kaiserslautern, Germany

The year before last, the city was immersed in sadness and Kaiserslautern was relegated. This year, the city is full of energy again, because Kaiserslautern has successfully upgraded and is full of hope for next season.

Next season is destined to be Kaiserslautern's greatest historical moment, and they staged the myth of a newly promoted team winning the championship.

However, Aldridge's trip to Kaiserslautern is not interested in the most famous team here.

He and Andrew went to the amateur football club near Kaiserslautern: Diederkopf on June 1st.

Amateur clubs naturally have little financial resources, and team training and games are held in places similar to public stadiums.

The office of the club is an ordinary small building that no one cares about.

Aldridge was regarded as a guest of honor after he came here, because he made an offer of 100,000 pounds on behalf of Millwall to buy the opponent's players.

100,000 pounds is unimaginable for amateur clubs. With their level of buying and selling people in the transfer market, a few thousand pounds, 10,000 to 20,000 pounds is almost enough.

100,000 pounds is an astronomical figure in their eyes!

The club manager received Aldridge and directly agreed to the transfer offer. They had no room to bargain at all. If they opened their mouths with the mentality of sitting on the ground and bargaining, Aldridge walked away, and they had no time to cry.

Aldridge waited patiently in the small reception room. After a while, the club manager walked into the reception room with a player.

Looking at the tall, thin and handsome young man, Aldridge stood up and stretched out his hand and smiled, Hello, Miroslav Klose. (To be continued,!
