The Young Lion

I just negotiated a friendly agreement with Ajax, who has suffered a lot and has a deep hatred. Although it is verbal, at least there is a resolution to the Van der Meyde incident.

In the early morning of the next day, Aldrich packed up and prepared to go to work in the club. As soon as he opened the door, the chaotic scene came into view.

A group of reporters blocked his door, bombarding him with questions.

Mr Hall, did Ronaldinho join Millwall illegally?

How has Millwall responded to questions about his eligibility to play professionally in England?

The FA has no record of Ronaldinho's transfer from Brazil to Millwall. Is he eligible for the game?

 …

Aldridge was still dazed at first, but after the bombardment of questions from the reporters ended, he roughly understood what was going on.

He retreated back to the door without making a sound, and slammed the door shut.

At the same time, the phone at home rang.

Aldrich frowned and went to answer the phone. Just as he picked up the phone, he heard Ronaldinho shouting on the phone: Boss, my house is surrounded by reporters! What should I do?

No matter what people ask you, don't answer!

Oh oh oh, shall I still go to training today?

Of course, don't try to be lazy.

Hehehe, have you seen through?

 …

Aldridge should be thankful at this time. Fortunately, Ronaldinho's family has returned to Brazil. Even his sister returned to her hometown with her parents because she was not used to living here and could not integrate into the environment.

His family is sure that Ronaldinho will have a good development here. After all, the first professional contract in his life has a weekly salary of 5,000 pounds. Ronaldinho only needs to give half of his salary to his family every month. Live a carefree life, besides, his brother is still playing football in Brazil.

If his family is still here, there will be people with big mouths.

Aldrich picked up the phone and dialed the staff of the club,

He intends to understand the whole story, but this groundless rumor makes him a little bored.

There was a knock on the door.

Aldrich looked at the visitor through the cat's eyes. Then open the door.

Evan, who was wearing a lady's shirt and narrow skirt with her black hair up, walked in elegantly. After the door closed, Aldrich also put down the phone.

She got straight to the point: A newspaper on Fleet Street published an article questioning Ronaldinho's qualifications as a professional player in England. Recently, football news is off-season. This article was quickly followed by other big newspapers and tabloids, and it became popular all of a sudden. .”

Aldrich sat down and crossed his legs to think about countermeasures, and Yiwen sat down beside him, leaning sideways and asked doubtfully: Could it be that he was transferred here illegally? To be honest, if it wasn't for him to represent Brazil in the summer World Junior Championships. We all thought he was an England player.

Although Ronaldinho has a name that is not mainstream in the UK. Plus his skin color. But the UK is a country with many immigrants, especially London, an international metropolis that people from all over the world flock to, especially East London, where immigrants rush to land.

Aldridge has many friends. For example, Saul and Fred are also black, but they are both second-generation immigrants, and they are authentic British in their self-awareness. The former has a European name, and the latter has a Latin American name.

Ronaldinho appeared in the Millwall youth team when he was less than 16 years old, and he did not officially enter the brochure of the Millwall first team official football guide, which will annotate a lot of information other than players, including player names and nationalities. past performance etc.

Basically, fans of Wild Lions think that Ronaldinho is from England, but they didn't expect Ronaldinho to shine in the World Junior Championships in summer. With a certain reputation, the fans suddenly realized: he is from Brazil, no wonder he has such beautiful feet Law.

The fans know it when they know it. No other thoughts.

But some good people are different.

Brazilian?

Can Brazilians play casually in England?

Who is the labor certification system for?

How did Ronaldinho get to Millwall?

After this series of questions lingered in my mind, it evolved into a conspiracy theory.

For example, the FA opened the back door and disregarded the labor certification system, and Millwall's introduction of Ronaldinho was an illegal operation.

Yi Wen came to ask Aldrich, naturally he wanted to know the truth.

Transfer? Where is the transfer? Ronaldinho didn't even have a contract before he came to the UK. He doesn't belong to any Brazilian club at all. Does he need a transfer?

After Aldrich finished speaking, Yiwen continued to ask: So he signed the contract directly? But he doesn't have an EU passport.

Aldridge shook his head, and told Ivan the ins and outs of the matter, and then he also figured out how he should deal with it.

What are these journalists who eat carrots and worry about only care about?

What Aldridge didn't know was that there was another driving force behind this incident, which was Millwall's arch-enemy Chelsea.

Betts was worried about Ronaldinho's amazing appearance in the FA Cup final. In the summer, he not only bought people for the club to strengthen its strength, but also wanted to seduce a few good players from Millwall.

Poaching rival players is the most morale-boosting thing, especially for the weaker side in the competition.

But Millwall players are not interested in Chelsea, even Ronaldinho is no exception.

Although Millwall has already won the Premier League championship, the team is still on an upward trend. Everyone is gearing up to fight hard and go to Chelsea!

In any case, they have already left their names in the history of the Millwall club. If you work hard and work together, they may become legends. What about Chelsea? Let's get a champion first and then talk about it.

Because of this, after Bates realized that Ronaldinho's nationality is Brazil, he immediately arranged for someone to make use of the problem. He is a shrewd person. Chelsea will not stand up for this kind of early bird thing, as long as it is reported to the newspaper through an intermediary. Picking one's head, with the British paparazzi's habit of following suit, a single spark can turn into a prairie fire in an instant.

Bates can really do this kind of disgusting thing, just like he sent a private detective to investigate Dane, even if I can't make a name for it, I will make you uncomfortable.

Aldrich and Ivan left the apartment, surrounded by reporters outside, he opened the garage door, threw the car keys to Ivan, the other went to drive, and he turned around to face the reporters.

Everyone knew that the young marshal was about to speak. Suddenly all quiet down.

Aldridge said with a calm expression: Ronaldinho's qualifications to play games are recorded in the FA. If he does not have the qualifications to play for Millwall or play in the UK, you should question him. The FA, in short, in the new season, Ronaldinho will still play for Millwall, because we have submitted the team list, and the FA has also approved the list we submitted, please don't use this again Boring stuff harassing me and my players.

After finishing speaking, Yiwen drove to the side of the road. Aldridge opened the co-pilot seat and sat in. The car disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The reporters looked at each other. Expressions vary.

Some people are really lost.

These lace-running reporters actually don't care what happened to Ronaldinho, they just want to see the appearance of a celebrity gaffe.

If Aldridge says the wrong thing or gets angry, that kind of photos and news. Definitely better than the topic of Ronaldinho to drive newspaper sales.

But why is it the off-season for football news now? Apart from some news about the transfer market, there are no games, news about friendly matches, should they also be included in newspapers?

Everyone ran to the FA in dismay.

This frightened the FA. As professional football is an independent industry, the FA is a private organization and is almost unregulated, which makes this organization powerful. But at the same time, they are most afraid of creating incidents that will dissatisfy the outside world. Once the pressure of public opinion is too great, government departments will intervene in the affairs of the FA. This is something that no one in the FA wants to see.

Therefore, for a whole day, the FA investigated Ronaldinho's registration information back and forth. In the end it was found that there was no problem.

In the evening, the spokesperson of the FA came out and announced righteously: Ronaldinho has British nationality, and his playing for an English club is in full compliance with the FA regulations, and the FA does not have Ronaldi. Neo's transfer record, because he has not made a transfer, he joined Millwall with a clean slate.

Aldridge shifted the focus to the FA, which, in order to show its integrity, also issued a statement efficiently and quickly, and at the same time shifted the focus.

They showed Ronaldinho's registration credentials, which included his British passport.

Reporters, if you want to make a fuss, you fucking go make a fuss.

If you continue to question, go to the Immigration Service or the British Passport Office!

Anyway, the FA will not seek to verify whether Ronaldinho's nationality qualifications are true or false.

The FA is like a fortress isolated from the world. The powerful FA figures hide inside, avoiding friction with government departments outside, and resolutely resist outsiders trying to break through their fortress and enter their FA. territory.

Even if many black gold incidents involving the football circle became an opportunity for government departments to intervene in the management of the FA, they were all ignored in the end, because the truth would bury professional football and make the image of English football worse than that caused by the tragedy of football hooligans. The blow is even more severe. This is a tacit matter of those in power in professional football in various countries. No government dares to use a knife on football. Even when Mrs. Thatcher was in power, the Taylor Report also rumored that there were two Version, the real version is permanently sealed, or directly destroyed.

Because of this, the FA played hand Tai Chi. They adopted an attitude of impartiality, and finally let the outside world focus on the national government departments.

The reporters tirelessly went to the Immigration Bureau and the Passport Office for further consultation.

In addition to the fact that detailed information cannot be disclosed, the answer given by the government is also simple and clear: Ronaldinho has British nationality.

The reporters froze immediately after getting this answer.

My heart was full of anger: Ma Le Gobi, which grandson provoked this matter? Work like a clown!

When Aldridge sat on the sofa in the morning and calmed down, he figured out how to deal with this matter. If he hadn't been confused by the reporters when he opened the door for work in the morning, how could he have forgotten his original choice? The original intention of handling investment immigration for Ronaldinho's family.

Whether it is the FA, UEFA, or FIFA, it is all in the football circle. If a player transfers from one club to another, the minimum is managed by the national football association, and the maximum is covered by FIFA.

But when a person or a family goes from one country to another, this is beyond the control of the football circle, and it is very taboo to deal with government departments.

Aldrich initially spent more than two million pounds on Ronaldinho, just because he didn't want to have any worries.

Ronaldinho's family immigrated, who can control it? FA? UEFA FIFA? Even if you want to control it, dare to challenge the British government and the European Union?

If people don't come to trouble you, you will burn high incense.

As for who paid for the 2 million pounds that Ronaldinho’s family invested and immigrated to buy British bonds, let alone the FA dare not question it, even if someone wants to make use of it, the British government will not agree. Blair took office to vigorously revitalize the economy. Immigrants have a stable investment of 2 million pounds. He can't wait for more investment immigrants. This is beneficial to the strong recovery of the pound in the world.

Ronaldinho first obtained British nationality and then joined Millwall. There was no problem at all in the procedure.

This does not involve transfers between clubs. Aldridge has enough confidence in this issue.

When the dust settled in this turmoil, Aldridge led his team to Amsterdam to play the third warm-up match with Ajax before the season. ()
