The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

-----------------

Early in the morning, Aldrich woke up from his sleep, but was woken up by a phone call.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and vaguely saw Yiwen crept to the bedside, reaching for his mobile phone on the bedside table. Seeing him wake up, Yiwen sighed softly and said, I don't know Who, you called early in the morning, you should sleep a little longer.

what time is it?

Five minutes to eight.

It's so late? Give me the phone.

Aldridge turned over, lay on his back on the bed, rubbed his face with his hands, still a little sleepy, but he didn't want to continue to sleep, today is Sunday, and he will lead the team to play against Arsenal at home in the afternoon.

He had woken up more than an hour later than usual.

I don’t know if I don’t lead the national team. The club and the national team work at the same time. It’s really tiring. It’s rare. Aldridge is like an office worker, looking forward to when he will have a vacation?

I'm very sorry, there is no winter break in the Premier League, we have to rest and wait until next summer.

Yiwen handed him the phone and said, Breakfast is ready. I'll take Earl to the hospital for a check-up in the morning. He seemed a little unwell just now. If there's nothing wrong, I'll take them to the stadium in the afternoon to cheer you on.

The phone was still ringing, and Aldrich hurriedly asked, What's wrong with Earl?

I saw that he was coughing just now, and he is better now. You can lie down for a while, don't worry, I will go out and take him to the hospital now, but I will send Bert to your parents' house first.

Aldrich scratched his hair, and only after Ivan left the bedroom did he turn his head to look at the phone, it was already the second time it rang.

It's Andrew calling.

It was a strange time, at this time, Andrew was still sleeping.

It's less than eight o'clock, and you actually got up? Why are you calling me?

Eight? Oh, oh. Oh, sorry, I'm not in London, it's already noon here.

Wtf! Where did you go?

Which city in the world has the most beautiful women?

You can just naturalize in Ukraine and settle there.

Hehe. I still have a lunch date. I'll call you and finish the business first. I have some news to tell you. That Brazilian player, 18 years old, what's his name? Wait for me to check, oh, Rica Do-Izeksen-dos-Santos-Leite, Millwall can stop paying attention, and you don't have to worry about it.

Aldridge was dazed. Blunted: Who the hell are you talking about?

The long list of Brazilian players' names would kill me just to write them down. Aldridge really doesn't remember which player named Ricardo xxxxx Millwall followed.

Hey, shit, are you really awake? It's the one in Sao Paulo. In the summer, Millwall made a secret offer. At the beginning, it was 5 million pounds, but they didn't sell it. You raised the price one after another. When it reached 8 million pounds, The Sao Paulo club agreed, but the player himself refused the negotiation. It’s only been a few months, and you forgot? Or is it that Millwall has no interest in bringing him in after failing to buy him in the summer? Then tell me earlier, so I don’t have to send People over there regularly report information about that player, a waste of human resources.

Andrew's complaint made Aldridge refreshed all of a sudden.

He is awake.

He also realized who Ricardo xxx was.

Son of God!

Kaka!

He sat up from the bed and was about to speak. Andrew hung up the phone.

Aldrich immediately called the opponent again.

What else is there?

What happened just now is not over!

You don't even remember the players, what else do you want to say?

Don't talk about that, let's get to the point. Just now you said that Millwall doesn't need to pay attention. What do you mean? Has a European giant locked him? Could it be Milan? It shouldn't be. He didn't play an official game last season. The season ended in the summer, and he hadn't played, could it be that he played in the final stage of the Brazilian League in the past two months?

Playing in the game? You think too much, I'm afraid he will never have the chance to make his career debut in his life.

Huh? What you said is too scary. What's wrong with him?

He had an accident, diving and hurting his spine, spine, understand? Do you know what a spine is? Do you know how important it is to a person?

I'm stupid! I'm so lucky today?

you are silly?

Come back, do me a favor, go to Brazil yourself, wait, wait, let me think about how to handle his transfer.

Transfer? Who buys?

Millwall buys.

You are really stupid. To buy a player with a spinal injury, it may be doubtful whether he can walk like a normal person. In the worst case, he may be paralyzed. You buy him? You want Millwall to die on the pitch. scene?

After a moment of silence, Aldridge said to the phone: I can't get away, you represent me to Sao Paulo, I will let Adam also go, this is to show the sincerity of the club, on the other hand, I will prepare for him in London The best chiropractic doctor, when you arrive in Sao Paulo, please say hello to me first, before that, the club officials must first communicate with the Sao Paulo club.”

You think you're burning too much money?

I have my own ideas. In short, you help me with this matter, and I will give you a Ferrari when I come back.

Well, since you don't treat money as money, I can only accept it with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge immediately called Adam and asked him to go to Sao Paulo with the club's negotiating team and medical representatives. He briefly explained the situation and asked the club to offer Kaka to Sao Paulo again. The amount was still in the summer. The amount of the first offer was £5 million.

The second call was to the medical department, there was no need to go into details, and he gave simple and clear instructions.

Find me the best spine doctor in the world!

After waking up on a morning that was not so good, Aldridge had a pleasant surprise.

He got up and took a shower, had breakfast and went to the club. There was a game in the afternoon. The players would come to the club later today, and then everyone had dinner at the club at noon, and took a short break to welcome the afternoon league.

After he drove to the club, the club staff informed him: Sao Paulo immediately responded with an offer, asking for 6 million pounds.

Aldridge laughed when he heard the news.

He offered £5 million. To outsiders it appears to be a second attempt.

What about Sao Paulo?

It would be abnormal to agree directly.

But because of Kaka's accidental injury, they couldn't return too high to scare off Millwall.

The 6 million pounds is 2 million pounds less than the 8 million pounds negotiated in the summer. This gap is still relatively large in this era. Especially for clubs that have always done cheap business in Brazil.

But the situation is different.

In the summer, Millwall bought people in a restrained and rational way. Now that the transfer window is closed, it is impossible for the clubs to complete the deal immediately. Sao Paulo wants to cut the mess quickly, first finalize the deal, and then hide Kaka’s injury. In two months, the winter transfer window opens. As long as Kaka can be recovered to a similar degree, it will be sent to the UK, and money and goods will be settled, er, people and property will be settled.

In the content of St. Paul's reply. The transaction amount is 6 million pounds, but 2 million pounds must be paid immediately, and the remaining 4 million pounds will be paid when the player transfers when the winter transfer window opens.

In fact, Millwall first paid 2 million pounds to sign a contract with the Sao Paulo club.

Otherwise, everyone has room for repentance, and Sao Paulo can stop selling people in January. Or raise the asking price.

Aldrich was very happy that the other party added such a clause, because he was afraid that Millwall would go back on his word!

I'm sorry, I'm still afraid that you will go back on your word!

He immediately informed Adam to go to Brazil to draft a contract directly with the Sao Paulo club. As long as the player nodded, the club would immediately pay 2 million pounds to make the contract come into effect.

After lunch at the club at noon. Aldridge was typing on the keyboard in the office, writing a letter to Kaka.

Andrew and Adam, the former represents him, and the latter represents the Millwall club, but Aldridge still hopes to express his sincerity directly in his personal capacity.

When you were under 18. Millwall's scouts in South America were watching you, I watched your tapes, I studied your technical characteristics, I analyzed the talent you have, and it turns out that you are a player who makes me feel better. Surprised that Millwall tried hard to sign you, we missed an opportunity to work together, now, I know you are injured and in a difficult stage, but I believe your tenacity will carry you through , Continue your football dream, come to Millwall, here are the best doctors to ensure your health, and the best coaching team to cultivate your growth, come to the Lion King Stadium, let the mad lion fans appreciate your skills and cheer for you , cheers for you, I am a head coach who tirelessly pursues victory. At the same time, I also hope that the players I coach can proudly say when they retire: I have won 5, 6, 7, and even more Premier League champions, won the Champions League, the supreme honor in Europe, once, twice, or more times. Kaka, I look forward to seeing you in the top European stadiums. The Millwall jersey has been prepared for you All right.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Aldridge sent the letter to Andrew's mailbox, and then sent him a text message, asking him to print out the letter when he arrived in Sao Paulo, and hand it to Kaka in person when he visited Kaka.

After finishing these tasks, Aldrich took a nap on the sofa in the office, and waited until the assistant coach Jansen came to knock on the door before waking him up, washed his face, arranged his clothes, and called Ivan to inquire about Earl's situation.

Earl just had a small cold. He went to the hospital for injections and medicine in the morning. After a bout of fuss, he was tired and slept for a few hours. After waking up, he was alive and well. Ivan took him to join Arthur and the others, and was driving to the Lion King Stadium.

Aldridge felt relieved and went to the stadium with the team to prepare for the game with vigor.

London Derby, the battle of the championship group.

The FA schedule is fucked.

The game day has just ended, and playing such an intense and important game at this time will undoubtedly reduce the quality of the game.

Both Millwall and Arsenal are big international players.

The fans are as enthusiastic as ever.

Aldridge, as a Millwall native, took charge of the Three Lions, which made the Wild Lions fans more arrogant than before.

Our Wild Lions not only dominate England's top arena, but our Wild Lions' coach also dominates the fate of the England national team.

Can you be more awesome?

When Aldridge walked into the Lion King Stadium and greeted Wenger before the game, the professor grimaced and complained: You have such a good relationship with the FA, why don't you communicate with them? Don't you think that at this time our two teams In a fight, Millwall definitely has the advantage?

Advantage? How can there be an advantage? I don't want to play such an important game immediately after the match day. However, in order to avoid suspicion, the FA will definitely not accept my suggestion.

When Wenger heard it, he suddenly realized.

He criticized the FA's schedule before and tried to apply for an adjustment to the schedule, but the FA refused, showing a selfless and equal attitude.

Originally, in order to ensure the quality of the Premier League game, it is not impossible to adjust the schedule. Strong dialogue, everyone hopes that the game will be more exciting. A group of virus-infected stars are playing on the field. Isn’t this a waste of a gimmick?

But precisely because Aldridge became the coach of the England national team, Millwall's game cannot be adjusted, absolutely not, otherwise, the FA will open the back door.

This move has caused a lot of criticism, especially in the same round. Just a day ago, Manchester United played Leeds United at home. It was also a strong dialogue. Last season's runner-up and last season's fourth place were also deadly rivals. !

No one complained, let alone Arsenal and Millwall had an extra day off.
