The Young Lion

A new atmosphere in the new millennium, Millwall's first season in the new era, moving to a new stadium is only an important part of a series of changes.

The commercial chain building around the new stadium is somewhat similar to the Chelsea Village built by Bates. The hotels, restaurants, casinos, entertainment centers, etc. around the stadium are built just to sell tickets? Abramovich in the original history has long built a new Stamford Bridge for Chelsea. The Stamford Bridge with a capacity of only 40,000 is worthy of the name of the Blues' Premier League giants? But building a new stadium is never just a matter of capacity. Chelsea's stadium is just a little smaller, but the surrounding business chain is mature. Build a new one? Ten years later, 1 billion pounds may not be enough.

The team's special airliner and the conversion of the Lion's Den Stadium as a reserve team youth team arena, all of which are shaping the Millwall brand.

Henry was shocked by the big investment of the club.

At the same time, a passion was ignited in my heart.

As a football player, who wouldn't want to play for a big club?

This kind of big does not describe the club's record, but material.

Top-level stadiums, high-end facilities, from training to competitions, even the means of transportation on the way to the competition, not only want to be decent, but if it can make people feel enjoyable and proud, this is the most wonderful thing!

Millwall is now trying to shape the material image of the giants, and while they are rich, the infrastructure will be built as soon as possible. Won't be left out of the gap.

Henry figured out what Andrew said.

If what the other party said was true, then he was cheated by his agent.

But he still didn't understand.

Why did he lie to me?

Andrew was not surprised by this. Understatement wrote: The contract period between the agent and the player is relatively short. And the agent's own ability and resources are also different. Thierry. Maybe you haven't realized how much commercial value you have, and your agent, because Due to the limitations of his own ability, he will definitely feel a sense of crisis, and soon you will realize that the current agent cannot bring you the maximum commercial income, then he will be abandoned by you. This is another thing in this circle. It is a normal thing. In layman's terms, top stars should have a professional agent team. To be honest, although I am Henrik and Pavel's agent, their specific commercial value development is for them. , is my company’s team, every star. According to different situations, an independent service team is formed. This is the treatment that top stars should have.”

Andrew told the truth,

He is alone and has no superpowers. Serving players has never been his own practice. At first he would personally participate in the negotiations, but now they are all handled by the team dedicated to the stars. He has completely become a decision maker. As long as he cooperates with the company The big-name players in China maintain a good personal relationship, and he doesn't have to worry about other things.

However, for a star like Robert Henry, he still has to do it himself.

Henry roughly understood that he was not a brat who didn't understand the world.

Andrew can’t speak clearly, Henry can imagine.

Considering that his agent encouraged him to switch to Serie A half a year ago, and recently kept mentioning Juventus in his ears, he wondered why Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, and Inter Milan all offered offers, so why didn’t his agent mention it? Pass the personal treatment conditions offered by the other three companies.

Now, everything is clear.

The broker must have collected black gold, or in other words, waiting to collect it.

In fact, the agent really didn't expect Millwall's attitude to change 180 degrees this summer! In the past years, doing business was a quick cut, and there was never a delay in transferring to a soap opera. Basically, if the price was enough, the transfer was finalized immediately, especially Henry, who did not have a loyal background of sharing weal and woe with Millwall. The player, Juventus set a world record transfer value. In the context of the collapse of contract renewal talks, according to the agent's thinking, with Henry remaining on his contract for 2 years, Millwall will definitely sell him for cash! As long as the transfer is completed, he doesn't care if Henry breaks up with him after that. Juventus' relatively increased remuneration is more than five times what he earned from Henry in the past four years! But the result is that Millwall's confidence is now outrageously hard!

This is commonplace in the entire European football world. There are black gold transactions behind the transfer of players. Agents, head coaches, and high-level club officials are the protagonists who are often involved.

Henry immediately took out his phone to call his agent, but Andrew asked him, Do you want to call the police?

No, I want to question him!

Henry's hand was held down by Andrew, he looked up, Andrew shook his head slightly at him, smiled and said: Thierry, you are a big star who earns millions of pounds every year, there is really no need to haggle with him, call , so what? Scold him a few words?

Henry's expression was complicated, as if he was suppressing his anger and had nowhere to vent, he said through gnashing of teeth, He made me like this! I...

As I said just now, I am here to help you solve your troubles. Your situation is a bit bad because you want to stay in Millwall. I think staying in Millwall is indeed the best for your career. Now Not when you should be spending time with your agent, is it?

Henry suddenly came to his senses as if he had been given a slap in the face.

It's a done deal, it's useless for him to question the manager again!

I'm sorry, er, Mr. Hall, I want to go back to the club now, I want to tell the boss the truth and clear up the misunderstanding between us.

Henry was about to get up and leave after speaking, but Andrew pressed his hand to signal him to stay calm.

Thierry, you don't need five minutes. Listen to me. I don't think you really realize your situation.

Henry frowned and sat down again, and asked: I will go back and renew the contract with the club now, and all problems will be solved.

No, it can only solve part of it. I would like to help you analyze it. Maybe you don't know it, because your agent fell out with Millwall Club. In the morning, Millwall held a press conference and announced that you will stay in the team. Reject all offers and be on the scene. Your agent lashed out at Aldridge. The news will be spreading across England soon. Can you imagine how the Millwall fans feel about you right now? ?”

Henry was dumbfounded, never imagined that things were worse than before he flew back to London!

His agent is representing him, it goes without saying.

Publicly attack and slander Aldridge?

Against the King of Millwall?

Ruined!

This is simply suicide.

Fans of Wild Lion probably have torn his heart at this moment!

Seeing Henry lowering his head in frustration, Andrew comforted him: Actually, the solution is very simple. The first thing you do when you return to the club is to apologize to the whole team. Then tell Aldridge the truth, I believe he will not Blame you.

Henry raised his head, wondering: Explain to the boss, apologize, no problem, but why should I apologize to my teammates?

Andrew asked with a smile: Who do you think is more famous, you or Anelka? Who gets more support from the club?

Henry was embarrassed to answer, the answer was obvious. He must be more famous.

Compared with him now, Anelka can no longer be compared at the same level.

Andrew continued to ask: You have the answer. So, can you recall the whole process of Anelka leaving Arsenal? The impact on the entire Arsenal team?

Henry had a bad face when he heard the words.

Yes, Anelka's departure from Arsenal last year was really twists and turns.

I like Real Madrid, reject Lazio, Real Madrid withdraws, fight with Lazio, Juventus joins in raising the price, rushes to Rome to join Lazio, the press conference is canceled suddenly, Anelka reprimands Arsenal for being too greedy...Arsen Nathan began to threaten the players to suspend their salaries, Wenger issued an ultimatum, and Arsenal and Lazio reached an agreement, with a weekly salary of 56,000 pounds and 14 million pounds in 5 years! Anelka refused to transfer because Lazio lowered the agreed salary to make up for the transfer fee. Anelka refused to return to the team for training. , successfully took away Anelka.

The whole process took nearly two months!

The Sun conducted a survey during the period, and Anelka was honorably elected the most unpopular foreign player.

Thieri, what happened to you is different from Anelka, but in a way, your situation is worse, because your agent has already transferred the You portrayed a greedy Judas, and even openly fell out with the club. The outside world is easy to be misled, and this kind of story is logical. Serie A clubs are richer. If you want to go to Juventus, your salary will definitely exceed 70,000 pounds a week The salary is more than what you earn in Millwall, double or even triple, so not many people will find it strange.

boom!

Henry slammed his fist on the table, and then put his head in his hands.

Is it rare for a player to be cheated by an agent?

That's not true, wouldn't the well-known aliens still cry when they were cheated?

Andrew patted the back of his hand and said softly: How is your relationship with your teammates in the club?

very good.

So, don't you need to apologize to your teammates? Take the initiative to apologize, and you will regain everyone's trust. Moreover, you need the support of your teammates, and your boss will also want you to do the same.

Henry nodded, he probably only now clearly understood his situation.

Thinking in an optimistic direction, at least because you are important to the team, what happens to you will affect the team. This proves that you are important to the collective, to this team.

Andrew did not forget to comfort Henry, only in exchange for Henry's wry smile.

But if you think about it that way, you're really right.

Then, you have to eliminate the bad influence brought by your agent. If you don't mind, I can arrange an interview for you. You just need to speak your true thoughts to the camera. As for your agent's affairs, you can Talk, or not, but I tend to think that it is better for you not to mention this person, to downplay the problems you have encountered in renewing your contract with Millwall, and avoid being the focus. On the other hand, I will let my friends from Fleet Street come Expose your agent, in short, try not to become the plaintiff, because the more you blame the agent, it will be more like shirking responsibility and looking for a scapegoat, you just need to concentrate on training and playing football, that’s enough.”

As soon as Andrew finished speaking, Henry suddenly raised his head and stared at him with complicated expressions.

Andrew frowned slightly, thinking he had said something wrong, but Henry grabbed his hand and said sincerely: Mr. Hall, please be my manager, please!

Andrew looked stunned.

Nonsense, I'm so busy, of course I want to be your manager.

The King of Assassins, who is so popular all over Europe, who doesn't want to be your manager!

But, he just talked about it, and he hasn't done a single thing yet.

Henry was actually touched by Andrew's last words.

Concentrate on training and playing football, that's enough!

Yes, from the beginning to the end, he just wanted to concentrate on playing football, because he wanted to concentrate on playing football, so he hired an agent to deal with trivial matters, and it turned out like this! (To be continued..)
