The Young Lion

At the end of the game, cheers erupted from the stands of the Lion's Den stadium like a deep blue ocean. In the first home game of the new season, they not only won, but also defeated a traditional powerhouse like Manchester United, a new generation of wild lions. There was no sign of a sharp decline in strength.

Aldrich calmly walked to shake hands with Ferguson, the two exchanged a few words and then turned and left one after another.

In the VIP box, Aldrich's two elder brothers are here, and there is another person beside them, a man about thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance but a calm and reliable temperament.

Barnett, in a suit and leather shoes, stood among the three of them. He did the same as Andrew, with his hands in his pockets overlooking the field, and whispered a few words with the man beside him from time to time.

Barnett, I admit that this little cousin is a genius, but judging from his resume, the advice he can give me may be very limited.

Barnett laughed it off.

Andrew turned his head to the man and said, Blize, don't question Aldrich's ability to surprise people, he never gives others any advice easily, but once he speaks, then you only need to do one thing, Remember every word he said carefully, and then execute it accurately, and in the end, you will get unexpected rewards.

Blaise shrugged noncommittally, and asked back: Even if his suggestion will affect your whole life? Will you obey him?

Barnett turned around and put his arms around Blaise, he laughed and said, Then you should do what he said! Because it will definitely change your life completely.

Blaise smiled wryly, Did you listen to every suggestion he gave?

Barnett replied: I hope he gives me one piece of advice every day so that I will be the richest man in the world in no time.

Andrew laughed out loud, and the three quickly left the box.

Aldridge returned to the locker room and praised the team's performance in the second half. Even though Ronaldinho and Van Nistelrooy failed to make intuitive statistical contributions, their defensive efforts are obvious to all, and Aldridge deserves to praise them.

When he came to the post-match press conference, Ferguson had already left. He expressed his disappointment with the result of the game and believed that Manchester United and Millwall were comparable in strength. Manchester United should be more dominant. Even in an away game, they should at least get a draw, but luck is not on Manchester United's side.

He always believed that Glenshire's winning goal belonged to luck.

Facing inquiries from reporters based on Ferguson's remarks,

Aldridge said calmly as usual: He is right. There is not much difference in strength between the two teams. The key is to play on the spot. We have limited the performance of Beckham, Giggs and Scholes in most of the time. , This is the reason why we won in the end. We did not allow Manchester United to score more goals. Two goals, one is set-piece cooperation. The other is based on the personal ability of the players. The current group of main players is far from meeting my requirements. They still have potential, which can be tapped slowly. It is expected that within two to three years will reach its peak.

How are the injuries of Pirlo and Larson? Will it affect the team's recent games?

David Miller is more concerned about this issue.

After letting go of Ballack in the summer, once Pirlo is injured in this key position. Millwall's offense will be hit immeasurably.

Although there is still Lampard in the team, his performance in the past two years has not impressed the outside world. In other words, football professionals who care about Millwall are discussing where Lampard should play.

Millwall's three midfielders are each performing their duties with a reasonable division of labor and a defensive midfielder. Back organization, attacking midfielder.

Lampard seems to be able to play in every position, but he can't play in every position, a bit versatile but mediocre.

According to the initial diagnosis of the team doctor, the two may miss the game for at least a month. The detailed results need to be checked. Of course, the loss of these two will be a blow to Millwall, but this is football, no club The main players are not injured, and a mature team, especially a strong team, should face such a situation with a normal mind. As a coach, I will do my best to make up for the decline in strength caused by the loss of troops. Millwall will overcome this difficulty.

After the game, Aldridge's mentality has been calmed. When a player is injured, his mind is hot, and of course he will be angry or worried, but when the facts cannot be changed, he will think from another angle: this is also his challenge.

Which top coach has not experienced the dilemma of the main force after extensive injuries? If you can lead the team to overcome difficulties and get out of the quagmire, then you are a dragon; if you cannot get out, then you are just a puddle of mud.

Millwall lost so many main players in the summer, and two more were injured at the beginning of the new season. Aldridge still wants to win the league championship. Deep down, he thinks it is more exciting now than in the past.

After the press conference, Aldrich drove away from the club. He was going to pick up Melanie at the airport. The Spice Girls' global tour was about to begin in North America. She stole two days off to go back to London to meet Aldridge.

While driving to the airport, Barnett called.

Dinner? Can we do it another day?

I have something important to talk to you about.

Should it be kept secret?

What's the meaning?

I'm going to pick up my girlfriend, can we go together?

Melanie, it's okay, come on.

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge was curious, wondering what important matters his elder brother wanted to discuss with him.

If it's a business matter, he really has no interest, mainly because he has no goods in his stomach.

He has said everything that can be said, as long as Barnett grasps the mainstream direction and trend, carves up the Internet market as soon as possible, and when the market matures in the future, the company will go public, and it will be no problem to become rich overnight, not to mention that he is already a billionaire. .

How much money does Aldridge own now? There are nearly ten million pounds in his personal account. In the past two years, Barnett will transfer the company’s dividends to his account. Aldrich is not very concerned about the value of his shares in the company. , the Millwall club is now his private property, and the estimated value of the club has exceeded 200 million pounds.

On the street outside the airport, Melanie was carrying a leisure bag, a crisp white dress, and sunglasses covering her face, when Aldrich parked the car on the side of the road. She opened the car door and sat in. The first thing she said straight to the point was: Victoria asked me to thank you.

no need thank me?

Aldridge started the car to meet Barnett at the hotel.

Melanie smiled and said, Of course I'm speaking for Beckham.

Aldridge shook his head and said, It has nothing to do with personal relationships. I just express my own opinion. If it were someone else, I would say the same thing.

He is not right about people. Let the outside world give Beckham tolerance. It's not about who's face, just like he won't whitewash Beckham's red card.

The red card for retaliatory action is not controversial, but how to view it is another matter. It is indeed too much to rise to the level of a national criminal.

Anyway she thanks you. Where is this going?

Barnett, please eat.

Melanie's mood suddenly faded, she only had two days off, and ran back to London, only wanting to spend time with Aldrich.

Aldrich showed her an apologetic expression, and said, He said he wanted to talk to me about something important.

Melanie smiled and said, I understand, then go and see what's delicious.

After arriving in the hotel box, Aldrich discovered that Barnett was not the only one who had invited him to dinner today. Not only was Andrew present, but there was also a man he didn't know.

Barnett offered to open the seat for Melanie. Laughing: Your influence in the United States surprises me.

After sitting down, Melanie asked curiously, Will you go to the concert?

Barnett shook his head and said, I'm too busy, I don't have time. Next time I will join in.

He wasn't flattering Melanie. The sensation caused by the Spice Girls after they entered North America was obvious to all. The tickets for the concert were sold out early.

Aldrich politely stretched out his right hand to the strange man and said, Hello. It's our first meeting, Aldrich Hall. This is my girlfriend, Melanie Chisholm.

The other party did not shake hands with him, but simply hugged Aldridge with open arms.

He smiled and said, No. It's not the first time we met. The last time we met was fifteen years ago. At that time, uh, you should be around six or seven years old, probably, so tall.

He gestured for a height off the ground with his hands. Aldridge looked surprised and asked, Really? Fifteen years ago? I really don't remember clearly.

Aldrich recalled carefully, even though he was ten years old when he crossed, he still had all the previous memories, but it was so old that it was normal that he couldn't remember.

Andrew smiled from the side: Aldrich, he is our cousin, Blaze Hall, before he became the mayor, he would visit our house once a year, but every time he comes, you don't At home, who made you not be at home for almost ten months a year.

Aldrich suddenly realized, and said, So you are Uncle Brook's son, and I often hear Arthur mentioning you.

Brook and Arthur are brothers, but Brook pursued his current wife and went to settle in another county when he was young. I don’t know if it’s because Arthur’s family is getting richer and their contacts have become dull.

Arthur would go to Brooke's house to visit his brother several times a year, and occasionally Aldrich would hear him mention Uncle Brooke and his son Blaise.

This is the right number.

Everyone took their seats one after another. Melanie was sitting on Aldrich's left, and Blaise was on the opposite side. Before the meal was served, Aldridge and Blaise gradually became acquainted through conversation.

This cousin, who is nearly thirty years old, is really remarkable. He is a civil servant, he is the mayor of Kent County, and he is also a member of the Conservative Party. Unfortunately, his rank is a bit low.

Aldrich's admiration for the other party is sincere. If he didn't have the advantage of foresight, he would definitely not be able to reach the current level of the other party.

But Blaise praised Aldrich even more. Arthur's three children are really brothers and sisters, and their business is booming. Who wouldn't be envious?

When the dinner started, Aldridge and Melanie were discussing which dishes were delicious for dinner. While eating, he suddenly turned his head and asked Barnett: Didn't you say you have something to do with me?

Barnett wiped his mouth with a napkin and said seriously, Blaze doesn't want to be mayor anymore.

Aldridge looked at his cousin unexpectedly, and asked, Is the mayor okay? Are you planning to change careers? Do you want to do business?

Blaise smiled and shook his head.

Barnett continued: I mean, he wants to go further in his official career, the mayor, the position is a bit low.

Aldrich was confused, and asked back: But I'm not a politician, and I don't know big figures in politics, so I can't help you.

After he finished saying this, he was stunned, then lowered his head and began to think deeply.

It seems that he thought of something again... ()
