The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

After winning the league championship, the Millwall team had a two-day holiday. In the evening, the three team captains organized a grand party and invited all the players and their families to participate.

Aldridge went to a party specially organized by Carter at night alone. It looked like a socialite's upper-class party, with handsome men and women gathered together. On the surface, there was no sign of depravity and indulgence, but what would it look like in private? , who knows.

Aldrich was standing by the window with a glass of wine smoking, and Carter had the same posture as him, with one arm pressed against the window sill, leaning against each other.

Why didn't you see Yiwen today?

Aldrich exhaled the smoke and said undisguisedly: I'm avoiding her, something is almost out of control.

After more than a year of getting acquainted with Carter, a friend who hit it off at first sight, Aldridge and him have been able to talk about everything, and they are heart-to-heart. This is also the reason why Carter can become a celebrity in the social circle. He feels reliable, has an excellent reputation, and will never stab a knife in the back.

Carter chuckled, turned his head to look around the banquet hall, and glanced at some beautiful girls who were staring here frequently, and said with a smile: You are the prey in the eyes of many people, it seems that the one who finally captured you is Yiwen.

I don't know, maybe it's just a man's true nature. To be honest, I have been abstinent for almost a year.

Aldrich could feel that there were many eyes of different surnames on him, so he came here to smoke.

Carter was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in astonishment: Don't you even masturbate?

Aldridge shrugged and said, That's true. Once every three days.

Only once every three days? Do you know that our bank financial traders once every few days?

Ok?

Three times a day! They say the financial markets are too exciting. Moods can go up and down. You have to keep your blood pumping all the time, or just forget about everything and get a break.

Aldridge said thoughtfully: If I have to lead the team to play games every day, and play at least two games a day, I guess I will also play three games a day.

Carter was taken aback when he heard the words, and then laughed out loud.

His laughter caught the attention of the others,

Everyone was wondering what Carter and Aldrich were talking about, their eyes full of envy.

Even though many people present knew Aldrich. But the relationship has not reached a certain level, and most of the exchanges with Aldridge are formulaic greetings.

Looking at the night scene outside the window, Carter smiled and said, Do you still have motivation?

Yes, but I already feel that my mind is not completely on football, or that the motivation is not as strong as it was five years ago.

If you went to coach the England national team, would it rekindle the passion?

Hehe, I guess there is no chance.

The national team led by Hoddle performed mediocre in the European Cup qualifiers. There is a lot of pressure on him. As a fan, I am not optimistic about him, and England can hardly find a good coach who can take over the national team.

You can hire foreign coaches. There are not many good coaches in the world.

Impossible! England, we are talking about England, the proud England of the British people, let a foreign coach lead it? Hehehe, this is a big joke.

Aldridge looked up and thought for a moment.

If he remembers correctly, England later hired Eriksson as the coach.

Eriksson is not from England, is he?

After thinking about it, he was relieved.

Of course, the historical facts are like that, but the process may not necessarily be natural.

After living in the UK for so many years, he should have already known that after 2000, no matter how arrogant England is, it will not be able to pretend to be an aristocrat.

There is no local coach who can do it, and a really talented coach like Bobby Robson has declared that it is impossible to do it again because he has coached the national team.

who cares.

It has nothing to do with me.

What are your plans for the summer? Are you going to travel like last year?

No, I'm going to Liverpool to buy a house. Melanie will have a baby around August. No matter what, I should always be with her at this time.

Carter suddenly realized, and said: Oh, I almost forgot, it's also because of this reason, so you are hiding from Ivan now?

Aldridge took a sip of his drink and nodded, Well, I don't care what others think of me, but at this time, if I become a beast, umh, huh, I will definitely feel guilty afterwards. Thank God, the season is still here. It's over in 7 days.

Boys and girls?

Boys, two.

twin?

Ok.

Congratulations.

I hope it's twins.

When Aldrich talked about his upcoming child, the expression on his face suddenly softened.

However, Carter seemed to be deliberately causing trouble for him, so he asked, Then what happened to her after giving birth?

Aldridge was silent for a while and said: I don't know, she called me before coming and chatted for a while. She will release another record with three other hot girls to see the market reaction. The child lives in Liverpool and her parents are looking after her. , I can visit at any time, fuck, it makes me very uncomfortable, I feel like a shameful father. But I can't bargain with her, and in the end it must break up, everyone disagrees happy.

If you were a woman, you probably made the same choice as her. Wouldn't the child you gave birth stay in your own home? You're not going to marry her again.

It's not that I don't want to marry, but that I want to marry a wife, not a lover who dates once a month.

Oh, who made you and her a star. Don't talk about it, it seems that it will only make you more and more unhappy, and I don't want to hear you complaining all night. By the way, I heard that your elder brother is The United States has made a lot of good investments, and it was established last year, how much did your elder brother invest?

Aldridge recalled. Every time I see Barnett. They will talk about his career in the United States.

It seems to be 500,000 US dollars. He actually spreads the investment model over there. As long as he has something to do with the Internet, his company will generously invest in emerging ideas, attracting many entrepreneurs to come to apply for investment.

Since Barnett set the company's development direction a few years ago, he has actively launched targeted investments. He can only invest, just like investing in Microsoft. You don't need to manage the company, and you don't need to worry about talents. As long as you invest your money in the right place, profits will roll in.

Before its establishment in 1998, Barnett invested 500,000 yuan, and maybe ten or twenty years later, it will become more than 3 billion US dollars.

Carter suddenly lowered his voice and said, Three months ago, the first online bank opened for business. Do you think this will be the trend of the future?

Of course. Because the Internet will continue to develop and grow, and the speed of popularization will be very fast. When people cannot do without computers and the Internet, they will naturally sit in front of computers and consume. In fact, the trend of online sales of souvenirs in our club reflects After this point, the difference is that mail order is still used now. Registered members need to go to the bank to remit money to the club account, and then provide information for confirmation. Bank transfer payment, which can not only improve efficiency, but also make people feel simple and easy. In fact, many people give up buying our fan souvenirs because they are too lazy to go to the bank to transfer money. We are also waiting, waiting for the maturity of the online banking system, and then find Let's work together.

Carter nodded, deeply agreeing.

The two chatted casually for more than an hour, and before parting, Carter sent a bottle of good wine to Aldridge, and Aldridge returned a jersey signed by all the players of the team to him.

Aldrich drove home alone.

At the door of his house, he accidentally saw Ronaldinho sitting on the steps in front of the door playing with his mobile phone. Aldrich thought he was texting someone, but he saw that he was playing a very simple mobile phone game with very high scores. High, it seems to be a master.

Boss, I have something to tell you.

Xiao Luo put away his mobile phone and stood up. Under the moonlight, Xiao Luo's expression was very solemn.

Aldrich was taken aback.

Are you here to tell me you want to transfer?

Aldridge took out the key to open the door with a solemn expression, turned on the light and put the wine that Carter gave him directly on the shoe cabinet next to the door. He was suddenly in a bad mood, because every time a player came to him with the expression like Ronaldinho , basically a showdown to be transferred.

Ronaldinho sat down, and Aldrich also sat on the single sofa. He propped his head on one hand, adjusted his mood and said lightly: If you have anything to say, talk now.

Ronaldinho sat upright, turned sideways to face Aldrich, and said in a deep voice: Boss, I'm sorry, I, we won the league championship, and the opponent in the FA Cup final is also easy to deal with. I firmly believe that we can still win the FA Cup. Cup winner, but I can't be happy, really, I'm not happy at all, I can hardly sleep, I keep repeating in my mind the image of missing a penalty in Munich, I let the team's hard work go down the drain, we Could have gone to Camp Nou in half a month, we could have won the treble, defended the European Cup, it's all my fault, me

At the end, Ronaldinho choked up for a while.

Aldrich looked shocked.

False alarm.

Not only did Ronaldinho not come to the showdown to transfer.

Moreover, his words shocked Aldrich physically and mentally.

More than half a month has passed since the defeat in Munich, but Ronaldinho is still brooding and full of self-blame.

The other party didn't want to pretend to be in front of Aldrich, every word, every word, and the painful expression on his face came from the heart, which Aldrich was very sure of.

How much sense of ownership does this require?

From the youth team to the first team, Ronaldinho spent three years here. He was expected to be high and he was ambitious.

But maybe carrying too much burden brought him too much pressure.

Aldridge stared quietly at Ronaldinho without saying a word.

Ronaldinho didn't see Aldridge make a sound for a long time, turned his head to look, but saw Aldrich with a smile in his eyes.

Boss, you

I ask you a question, do you know who is the last team in Europe called a great dynasty?

Ronaldinho thought for a while and said, Milan.

Then do you know how many championships Milan won in the eight years before and after Sacchi and Capello?

Ronaldinho shook his head.

Aldrich smiled and said: 16, this is still including the European Super Cup, Toyota Cup and other trophies that are not worth mentioning in my eyes. How many trophies has Millwall won in the past four years?

Ronaldinho began to calculate silently in his heart.

13

Don't count the UEFA Super Cup and the Toyota Cup, and the Community Shield.

Eight, and there is still an FA Cup final this season.

Aldridge leaned forward and looked at Ronaldinho at a close distance, and said with a smile: Even I, I can no longer ask myself to ask you to win the Triple Crown this season, and you must defend the European Champions Cup, Ronaldini Oh, you think too much! But your dedication to the championship surprises me, I must give you a thumbs up, and hope you can keep this dedication until the day you retire.

Ronaldinho stared blankly at Aldridge.

He doesn't understand, really doesn't understand.

Why is Aldrich not angry at all?

It doesn't even seem like there's anything lost! (to be continued...) ()
