The Young Lion

Drogba is very different from African players in the traditional impression. This difference refers to the trajectory of life.

Most African players landed in Europe when they were unknown, either entered the professional arena to start their football career, or failed the trial training, lived on the streets of Europe and became black households and eventually became traffickers.

Drogba has been in France since he was very young, and he is not alone. It was not until the age of 20, when he had to make a living, that he started to take football seriously as a career as a tool for earning a living.

Before the age of 20, he was playing, playing football, just playing, without so many lofty ideals and ambitions. After playing France all over, it was time to support his family, but he went to Paris Saint-Germain for trial training at this time , but was rejected, that is when he was brought to London by Millwall. From then on, he really devoted all his energy to his football career.

As for the inspirational stories that people boasted about him starting to hone his skills as a teenager when he became famous, it is pure bullshit.

Otherwise, at the age of 20, an African player who has really devoted himself to playing football is definitely far superior to Drogba in terms of skills alone. Even Klose, who was born in an amateur league, has better skills at his feet than Drogba. Because Klose came earlier than Drogba and received a year of professional technical guidance and training, the gap is obvious. When Drogba came to Millwall, apart from his innate strong physical fitness, technology? One word is enough to describe it: rough.

The detailed description is: It's too rough to look at!

He should be grateful for his talent, that's right, it's talent, if it were someone else, he wouldn't have such a strong body. At the age of 20, it is still at this technical level. It cannot be said that he will definitely say goodbye to professional football. But at least wanting to gain a foothold in the top arena, that is whimsical.

Although Drogba has been honing his skills in the past two years, his foundation is poor, and he cannot catch up in one or two years. In particular, Millwall is not a third-rate team, not a second-rate team. No matter how much Aldridge trains. It is also impossible to completely sacrifice the record.

In the Champions League, the league, the FA Cup, Millwall, who is fighting in the third line, has to experience double matches almost every week. In such a dense schedule, Aldridge has to deal with the storm caused by Drogba.

Compared with the endless scandalous news of most local players, Drogba's name is quite manly and passionate!

On Friday evening, Aldridge sat in the conference room and had a long conversation with Moyes.

Drogba went to Preston on loan at the beginning of the season. Now suddenly he returned to the club by himself, he didn't want to stay there any longer. And Preston couldn't tolerate him from the fans to the inside of the locker room.

Moyes was disappointed with the situation.

Drogba, it's so fucking easy to use!

In the simple and rough arena of the League One, it is simply the battlefield of Warcraft. Drogba is like a monster in the world raging in the League One. By the end of the 30th round of the League One, Drogba dominated the scorer list and scored 21 goals. Helping Preston firmly occupy the fifth place in the league. If this performance can be stabilized, at the end of the season, I dare not say that winning the championship or runner-up will directly upgrade, but the tickets for the promotion play-offs will definitely not run.

But at this time, Drogba became the public enemy of Preston.

This incident did not cause much repercussions in London. After all, it was the news of the League One club, and it was not worthy of a special mention by the mainstream media.

The simple course of the incident was that Drogba and the captain of Preston had a dispute over the parking space. The two fought in the parking lot outside the club's training ground. There was no suspense. Drogba sent the other party to the hospital.

This time, even if Drogba is a scoring hero, he dares to beat up the native captain of the team. The locker room won't allow him, and the fans call him to leave, but Drogba is also free and easy. !

We packed our bags and headed back to London that day.

But when he returned to London, the kid was scared. He stayed in a small hotel and didn't dare to go back to the Millwall Club, as if he was worried that his behavior would cause the club's dissatisfaction and punishment.

After all, the team that pays him is Millwall, and other teams may not be able to afford the weekly salary he gets.

It was already two days after Millwall got the news when the Dongchuang incident happened.

The kid Drogba couldn't be contacted all the time, so Millwall sent people to France and Côte d'Ivoire to hunt him down, thinking that he had absconded back to Africa or France.

Fortunately, Lamor, who had been with him in the reserve team for a while, had another private phone number of his, which was a secret phone number for friends to have fun with, so he was arrested from the small hotel.

Moyes still wants to persuade Drogba to go back to Preston. His heart is almost broken. He wants to lead Preston to the Super League. Seeing that this season is much better than expected, Aldridge The few young players given to him are indeed easy to use, and the record is enough to explain everything.

It happened that it was time to sprint, and the team's main striker ran home!

After Aldridge learned the whole story, he made a final decision.

Drogba can't go back, really can't, David, you should think about yourself, really, I understand your feelings, you want to lead Preston to achieve greater achievements, but now, you are burning with anger The fans, the original Preston players in your dressing room, they can no longer accept Drogba. If you take him back, regardless of what happens to Drogba, he will be isolated there, and you ? You will also face accusations, and at that time, you may fall into a predicament of betrayal.

Aldrich sincerely thought about Moyes, but the other party had no choice but to accept the reality after thinking about it.

He is just a helpless person who wants to succeed and wants to go crazy.

If it’s not enough at the beginning, it’s not enough to be high or low, then it’s a waste of time to pass this season, but success is clearly in sight, but it’s ruined. Moyes’ mood, Aldrich can more or less understand it, except for helplessness And accept, can only adjust by oneself, there is no other way.

After Aldridge sent Moyes away, he asked the staff to find Drogba, and he waited for the thorn in the conference room.

Not long after, Drogba walked in with a serious expression and a little fear in his eyes, looking like a tough guy with courage. In front of Aldrich. But there is a smell of trepidation.

Since his return to London. The mood changed immediately, from being arrogant in Preston, even sending the captain to the hospital without changing his face, to nervous and apprehensive.

Maybe it's the bustling city that makes the wild boy tuck his tail, maybe it's Millwall who seems to be one of the few successful contemporary football teams in Europe that convinces him, or maybe it's because the club holds his Living checkbook.

Seeing him standing by the door, Aldrich said softly, Come here. Sit down.

Drogba went to the nearest table and pulled up a chair, and Aldridge said, Come here, sit next to me.

Drogba immediately pushed back the chair, went to the seat next to Aldridge and sat down. Aldridge turned his head to look at him, but he lowered his head and dared not look at him.

What did you do wrong?

what?

Why don't you even have the courage to look at me?

Uh, I'm causing trouble for the club.

Well, it's true. Tell me first why you beat someone?

Drogba scratched his head, and saw that Aldridge didn't show any signs of berating him, so he told the story carelessly. Of course, this is told from his point of view.

He took simple luggage with him when he went to Preston. Accommodation is provided by Preston and salary is paid by Millwall.

Just the day before he beat someone, he found that a lot of money had been deposited in his account.

So, the proud World of Warcraft wanted to live a more coquettish life. He bought a new car, and drove the new car to the club to participate in training, and was going to show off to his teammates.

As a result, he parked the car in the parking space that belonged to Captain Preston. Originally, he didn't have a car, so naturally he didn't care about these things, so he didn't care.

However, Preston's captain happened to arrive by car and found that his parking space was taken by this big black man.

If people lack communication with each other, especially those who are impatient in character, they are most likely to cause conflicts.

The Preston captain, who is registered in England, regards the behavior of Warcraft as a provocation.

From his point of view, Drogba was in the limelight, and most of the credit for the team's good record was taken away by this outsider. Captain Preston directly taught Drogba a lesson.

Warcraft himself felt innocent, did not provoke anyone, bought a car and parked in the wrong place, but was reprimanded, and most importantly, not far away, a teammate who had arrived earlier witnessed this scene, I can't hold back my face!

In order to make Captain Preston shut up, Drogba slapped the opponent's face with big ears as soon as his head was hot. Then, the two staged a live-action PK, and the monster won. Hospital

After listening to Aldrich, he did not comment, he picked up a document and began to open it.

Drogba was very happy when he hit someone, but now he was worried and said: Boss, why don't you talk?

What do I need to say?

Well, I beat Preston's captain.

Oh, if you hit it, hit it. Anyway, it's over. It's useless for me to say anything. I don't think the other party will sue you for wounding.

Sue me? No, isn't it? After a fight, will he still sue me?.

Aldridge inexplicably turned his head to look at the surprised Drogba, and asked back: He couldn't beat you and was sent to the hospital by you. If you don't want to let it go, either he will come to revenge you again, or he can only resort to the law. It’s a trick, isn’t this strange? If it’s not against the law to hurt someone, at least 20% of the lawyers will lose their jobs.”

Drogba really changed from nervous to scared.

Boss, I won't go to jail, will I?!

Aldrich secretly laughed in his heart: Scared you to death! Let's see if you dare to stir up trouble!

He comforted him lightly and said: It's okay, it's just a small matter, you can also ask a lawyer to defend you, but I think the possibility of the other party suing you is not high, don't worry, it's just a lesson, think twice in the future Going forward, beating someone sounds awe-inspiring, but things are going to be serious, and it is you who will suffer losses and make your situation dangerous.

Drogba nodded hurriedly, thinking about it now, it is true that fights can be divided into degrees, and if one is not careful, something good or bad can happen, and the disaster of prison is something that money can't erase.

Boss, since he can't beat me, why didn't he sue me?

He is stupid, sue you? I wish the whole world knew that he was beaten by you? A person who can be the captain, can he lose face? If he doesn't care about face, he won't conflict with you. I heard that his injury is not serious. You can recover after two weeks in the hospital. As I said, you can take it as a lesson in your heart. I have to tell you one thing. In a team, everyone is equal except for the game. In normal training life, you must know how to respect your predecessors. For example, when we go out to play games, you can’t sit in my seat on the bus, and you can’t sit in Captain Gareth’s seat, and so on. If you are not careful Sit down, correct such mistakes immediately after being reminded, understand?

Drogba nodded again, and then asked: Boss, what do you mean, I hit him wrong?

It's definitely wrong to hit someone. It's against the law, understand? But the captain is also responsible. If it's Gareth, he can at most remind you with a smile that it's his parking space. Just let you pay attention in the future. There's no need to make a fuss and teach you a lesson. , so, that’s Preston, we’re Millwall, they’re in League One, we’re the top team in the Premier League.”

Drogba laughed, and Aldridge shook his head with a smile.

The locker room order and the team's internal relationship are still very conservative. Although it is not as strict as feudalism, there is still a minimum prestige ranking. The captain has more off-court privileges than his teammates, and players with deep qualifications and high prestige It is also higher than the treatment received by ordinary players. This is the return they have paid and earned, which is fundamentally different from differential treatment. (to be continued...) ()
