The Young Lion

Twenty-nine strong obstacles

It is rare for London to have a clear night sky, and Aldrich looked up at the star-studded sky with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Brady and the others went to buy a lot of drinks and snacks, and everyone sat on the ground and continued to enjoy the happy gathering.

Aldridge has long forgotten people like Polk, and he doesn't think his threats are mean and shameless. He seems like a second-generation ancestor who bullies others. kicked.

Everyone was chatting, Aldridge suddenly turned around and asked Brady: Do you like Millwall?

The others kept their mouths shut and stared at Aldrich with weird expressions, while Brady looked uncomfortable. They were young and at the age of following fashion and avant-garde, and it seemed that it was a bit hypocritical to simply say whether they liked it or not.

What's wrong? Are you dumb? Does this question take a long time to think about?

Aldridge frowned slightly, at least he felt that he could have a heart-to-heart chat with these youngsters, and there was no need to put on a false pretense.

Brady rolled his eyes and said, Yes, my whole family likes it.

They used to be a community, and the residents in that area were basically Millwall fans.

Aldridge asked again: Will you always like it in the future?

Eh?

Yiwen had goose bumps all over his body, and the others also shivered.

Aldridge's question made people feel nauseous.

Brady shook his head and said helplessly, What exactly do you want to say?

Come and help me.

Aldridge stared at Brady calmly, but the other party looked suspicious, expressing his incomprehension.

I want to establish an officially recognized fan organization for Millwall, and let a fan group with a positive image and positive meaning affect the image of the club.

Brady was taken aback when he heard the words, and no one else expected Aldrich to have such an idea.

To be honest, if Aldridge builds such a fan organization himself, we will not mention whether he has the energy for the time being. It is only an official establishment of the club, and it will be difficult to obtain the approval of the fan group, because there are conflicts and frictions between the football club and the fans. It's the ticket price.

There is never a balance when it comes to money.

Clubs will always think ticket prices are cheap, and fans will always think ticket prices are expensive.

There is no need to discuss whether it is worth it or not.

Because of this conflict of interest, it is impossible for Aldridge to come forward, but he needs Millwall to have a healthy fan organization.

Yiwen patted himself on the forehead, the corners of his mouth turned up into a wonderful smile, and he seemed to be talking to himself: You are always like this, what are you thinking about? Of course we will help you.

After being stunned, Brady nodded firmly and said: If this can help you, no problem, leave it to me.

Aldridge stood up and smiled, put on his suit and was about to go home. He asked Brady with sly eyes, Don't you think about your future? That's an unpaid job.

Brady, who was in high spirits, was stunned again, scratching his head and unable to continue speaking.

Aldrich put his arms around his shoulders and walked back, not intending to tease him anymore, and asked softly, How much savings do you have?

Brady rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, shaking his head in silence.

Except for Aldridge, everyone else is still in college, savings? What a joke, it would be nice to keep some of the living expenses given by the parents.

Aldridge said naturally: I will lend you 20,000 pounds. My elder brother is recruiting funds. You invest them. Don't take out the dividends after each investment cycle. Continue to invest. I want to wait until after you graduate from university. , life without work should be guaranteed.”

Brady, Fred, Ivan and others all opened their mouths in surprise.

The Hall family is an upstart in the British financial industry. Their return on investment is simply unmatched by their peers. Not to mention that ordinary stockbrokers want to get on the line of the Hall family, even many traditional business chaebols are also very interested in the Hall family. .

Eh? Do you have one for me?

Fred licked his face and leaned into Aldrich's ear and asked, Aldrich nodded with a smile, then turned his head and said to everyone: It's all counted as your share, I will lend you the money.

Originally, Barnett's fund did not openly recruit investors. It was regarded as raising funds in the industry. In the end, it was cheaper for others. It would be better to let your friends share a piece of the pie.

Although Aldrich didn't know much about the financial industry, he still knew about stocks, especially the famous listed companies in the next two decades. Naturally, they would be the first choice for investment, and they could make profits without losing money.

Yiwen hesitated a little, she wanted to evade Aldrich's generosity, but she swallowed the words again.

If you refuse, it will appear to be out of place.

Brady, I think I can answer the question you asked me at the bar earlier. Why be a head coach? Because it's something I love and want to do, and too many people live most of their lives without knowing what they are Want to do something. Remember Lennon?

Aldridge asked in a relaxed tone.

Remember, he bullied us when we were young, and then we blocked him in the toilet and beat him up.

Brady smiled happily.

Lennon was three years older than them and was also a neighbor in a community when they were young.

I can't play with Aldridge and the others, but I have a good relationship with Aldridge's second brother Andrew.

Aldrich shrugged and said with a smile: When I was a child, Lennon kept clamoring that he wanted to be a singer when he grew up, and he even went to train in school, but he studied for an MBA in college, but after graduating from college this year, he became a stock marketer. Manager, pestering Andrew to work in my elder brother's company. Sometimes I want to ask him: what do you want to do with your life? Are you a singer, a manager, or an investor?

Originally, Aldrich said this in a joking tone, but he didn't expect that as soon as his voice fell, the surroundings became quiet, no one answered, and fell into a not-so-short silence.

It seems that Aldrich's words touched the friends around him a lot.

 …

After the third round of League One, Millwall's record of scoring 10 goals and conceding 0 goals in all three games surprised everyone!

But the mainstream media has no intention of focusing on England's second-tier league at all, because there is less than a week before the transfer deadline in September, and the transfer news of the Premier League is the focus of recent follow-up reports by major newspapers.

But Millwall's strong performance has attracted the attention of league opponents.

Three days later, in the fourth round of League One, which drove fast in the middle of the week, Aldridge led his team to Bolton as a guest.

Bolton have a stellar home record and aim to reach the Premier League this season. They are Millwall's direct competitors.

Probably because of Millwall's strong momentum, Bolton played very conservatively at home. Millwall also continued Aldridge's tactical thinking of stabilizing the defense. The two sides ended in a 0-0 draw in 90 minutes.

After the fourth round of the league, Aldridge had no time to catch his breath, and rushed to the away game against Reading four days later.

When the fifth round of League One ended, Reading's home scoreboard was fixed at 0:0. Millwall scored two consecutive draws in the third game in 8 days, and once again shook hands with their opponents.

After the fifth round, Millwall slipped from the standings and was overtaken by Middlesbrough with four wins and one loss.

With the buffer of two consecutive draws, Millwall's strength since the opening of the league seems to have been sniped, and the quality of a dark horse has faded a little.

But Aldridge didn't see it that way. He even left Berkshire, where Reading is located, happily. In five league rounds, Millwall conceded 0 goals. The team's defensive performance made him ecstatic.

Southgate has the demeanor of a general in the defense, Stam Thuram is brave, even Lucas, who is under the age of 18, has a bit of a tough temperament, and Makelele is already in the midfielder. The position has been steadily adapted, and the performance in several rounds of the league has been steady.

After returning to London, Aldridge still had no time to rest. Although there was no League One in the middle of the week, the second round of the League Cup came as scheduled.

He dispatched the full bench to meet the opponent.

This opponent is no stranger, the opponent Birmingham in the pre-season warm-up match!

In the pre-season warm-up match, Millwall failed to win the opponent at home. The League Cup is tasteless for the two teams aspiring to upgrade, so at the Lion's Den Stadium, the two sides gave the fans an extremely lively game the match of!

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Phillips and Ballack sealed the score 3-1 in the first half, and Dean Richards added the icing on the cake with a corner kick in the second half. In the end, Millwall won 4-2 at the Lions Den. The visiting Birmingham successfully entered the third round of the League Cup.

One month later, Millwall will be a guest at Newcastle United. When he learned that his opponent in the third round was Newcastle United in the Premier League, Aldridge knew that it was time for Millwall’s League Cup journey to come to an end. If the main lineup goes to compete with the third place in the Premier League last season, it will disrupt his plan.

On the weekend, Millwall struggled to beat visiting West Brom at home. After two consecutive draws, Millwall regained the feeling of victory again.

However, after the final whistle, Aldridge clearly saw the lads on the pitch looking a bit frustrated.

This game against West Brom left them feeling powerless and tortured.

West Brom ranked fourth from the bottom in the League One last season, and were one step away from relegation. There is no sign of recovery this season. A free kick broke the opponent's goal, I am afraid West Brom can really take away a point.

It is reasonable for the players on the court to be discouraged. Their offense is only a five-man team. Even Nedved seldom wanders at the front of the penalty area. With only two full-backs and two forwards, it is possible that they will not be able to score goals. Original.

When the players left the field, they seemed not very interested, and Aldridge quickly walked into the player channel after shaking hands with the West Brom coach in a hurry.

Aldridge looked at the schedule in the office the next day, and he seemed absent-minded. Three days later, his team was going to play the mid-week league, and it was an away game. The intensity of the game was too great recently. A has 46 league rounds?

As he hesitated to take the next phase of the team's transformation, Mr. Thompson, the medical director, knocked on the door of Aldrich's office.
