The Young Lion

In the summer of 2001, the madness of the European football transfer market continued, and it was faintly going to create the craziest summer ever.

Florentino called Aldridge three times, and finally offered 50 million pounds. Henry and Ronaldinho, whoever, as long as Millwall releases, please take 50 million pounds.

Aldridge's refusal made Florentino die immediately.

The euro has been widely used in European football. If the currency unit is converted into euros, this summer's sensational transfers have been one after another, and the big clubs have played one after another. Only Millwall, who is the leader of the pack, is watching from the sidelines.

Zidane of Juventus transferred to Real Madrid at a sky-high price of 73.5 million euros, and Zidane became the creator of a new world football transfer record.

Parma's Buffon transferred to Juventus for 54.2 million euros, and also became the most expensive goalkeeper in history! At the same time, Thuram was transferred to the Bianconeri for 36.5 million euros.

Valencia sold its leader Mendieta to Lazio, worth 48 million euros, only 2 million to become Mr. Half a Billion.

Lazio sent Veron to Old Trafford for 42.6 million euros, and Manchester United set a new record for signings in English football.

Milan paid 42 million euros for Rui Costa and 37 million euros for Inzaghi.

Saviola, who won South American Footballer of the Year at the age of 18, won the World Youth Championship this summer, and won the Golden Boot and Ballon d'Or, landed in Europe to join Barcelona at a price of 35.9 million euros. He was only 19 years old.

There are also many other transfers above 20 million euros. Such as Cassano. Toldo. Amoruso, Salas, Giovanni and other players.

From the perspective of transfer investment, the gap between the Premier League and Serie A can be seen, but the Premier League also has a lot of big transfers. For example, Robbie Keane and Robbie Fowler joined Leeds United, both worth close to 20 million euros. Dyer's gamble continues

It is naturally Serie A that set off the craziest transfer storm in history. Although there are top stars outflowing, it is mainly due to the internal reshuffle of the Serie A teams. Powerful teams such as Parma and Fiorentina were dismembered by giants. Lazio fell into a financial crisis and could not protect itself.

This is another way of beating your opponents in the football world.

It is also a way for other giants to try to weaken Millwall in Europe. Three years ago, they poached the main force of Millwall's half team. I thought that Millwall would sink.

Unexpectedly, Millwall returned to the top of Europe after only one season. And also completed the enviable frantic defending of the Champions League!

Shocking news in the transfer market comes one day at a time, but Millwall. It can be regarded as causing a sensation, they are selling people, selling people, and always selling people!

Twelve non-main players left back and forth, and some players in the reserve team who were too old to enter the first team were taken away by teams in the second tier league, in exchange for about 3 million transfer income.

Millwall didn't spend a penny, and made another £80 million first!

As for Millwall's only signing in the summer, the process was quite bumpy.

Kaka's transfer will take some time, which is expected by Aldridge.

if not?

Millwall introduced a non-European player, submitted the transfer to the FA today, and the FA will approve it tomorrow. All fools know that the FA always opens the back door.

As time dragged on, it seemed that it was difficult for Millwall to introduce players. The FA has done a careful review, and there must be a hard and arduous process before a conclusion can be made.

All teams in the Premier League are speeding up the pace of signings. Manchester United signed Veron prestige (signed Forlan half a year later). Chelsea's record slipped too significantly last season. This season, a group of veterans such as Wise, Lebouf, Poyet and others, some youth training products have also returned meager income, and they have changed their strategies in the transfer market. They should be more precise than too much. The arrival of Gallas, Zenden, and Petit only cost 2,000 yuan. At around 10,000 pounds, Leeds United strengthened the striker, Fowler and Keane both came to Elland Road, Liverpool introduced Riise, Baros, Dudek and other generals, and the three cup winners last season gave the Red Army hope of revival.

Recently, Wenger, who has been proud of the spring breeze, has also found Aldridge. Although Arsenal are burdened with huge debts for the new stadium, their stable Premier League record and Champions League qualifications allow the Gunners to still have limited signings, and Wenger also signed Campbell in the summer. As a fierce general, he is naturally in a good mood.

Living carefully and carefully, wishful thinking hit Millwall's head.

There is still one month before the start of the new Premier League season, and Millwall's preparations will also begin. When the training day arrives, there are discordant voices inside Millwall.

The Daily Mail first broke the news.

Spanish genius Reyes expresses his position: Millwall is ruining me!

The Star followed up and published the original interview with Reyes under the headline: Millwall is forcing me to go!

Other media outlets on Fleet Street quickly followed up and reported on this sudden incident.

Before the first team returned to the team, Aldridge naturally wouldn't go to the club every day. He recharged his batteries at home and worked with Ivan to take care of the newly planted flowers in the back garden.

The youth team of the club has come back for training ahead of time. After all, their training and competition tasks during the season are not too heavy. On a reasonable basis, they must pay attention to continuity.

After Reyes returned to the youth team, he learned that he would not be promoted to the first team in the new season, and suddenly became furious, feeling unreasonable!

He showed extraordinary talent when he came to Millwall. Two years later, he has also become a main player in the Millwall youth team.

The Millwall youth team dominating the English Youth League, the FA Youth Cup, is nothing new, but last season, in the European next generation Youth Champions League, Reyes, Ronaldo, Ribery, Lesco The youth team dominated by Te, De Rossi and other players won the championship with a record of complete victories, especially the offensive firepower, which brought tears to the eyes of other powerful youth teams in other major leagues. The most brilliant player is Ronaldo, even if he plays Only 16 in the second half of the season. But maybe it's just his age. Opponents despise him. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was arranged to play as a striker, showed his power. Ribery and Reyes played wingers behind Ronaldo. It was particularly dazzling and won the best player award in the tournament.

With the award, there will naturally be media attention, and Reyes shines. Seeing that the club sold out Glenshire, Vicente, Joaquin and others, he thought that after returning to the club at the age of 18, it would be fine for him not to play as the main player next season, but to play as a substitute in the first team .

However, Najib, the director of the youth team, asked him to play in the reserve league next season. Among the key players last season, only De Rossi was promoted to the first team.

Now Reyes couldn't accept it, and confronted Najib directly, demanding to be promoted to the first team.

These players came to Millwall when they were young. Naturally well-behaved, but his eyes are aimed at the first team. The youth team must be too much, so when you get older and have a certain strength, you dare to challenge the head coach of the youth team.

Nagy ignored Reyes and chose to deal with it coldly.

As a result, things got worse and worse. Reyes spoke to the media, and his family also came to ask for an explanation.

When Aldridge heard the news and rushed to the training base, he saw an ugly scene.

Reyes and his family confronted Najib verbally on the sidelines, and the young players on the training ground stopped training and were all watching.

Why don't you let me go to the first team? Don't I even have Millwall's substitute level?.

That's right, I don't know how many clubs want to sign him now!

Coach Najib, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll go to Coach Hall!

If Mr. Hall hadn't called himself, we wouldn't have let him come to this poor place in London!

Najib didn't know whether these people in front of him were Reyes' relatives or parents. They didn't introduce themselves at all, and they came up as if they were asking for debts.

He sighed softly. He was not good at dealing with such things. It wasn't that he didn't have a reasonable explanation, but he felt that speaking out would only make things worse.

I smiled wryly from the bottom of my heart.

Did Reyes think being big in the next gen Champions League meant anything?

Standing out from a group of young players with an average age of around 18, do you think you can gain a foothold in the brutal professional arena?

The football field is inherently an unequal arena. A 30-year-old competes with a 20-year-old. Technical talent does not mean having everything.

Najib does not deny Reyes' talent, but he still wants to cultivate him step by step.

The problem with Reyes is just one thing: Confrontation!

Go directly to the Premier League and endure the most advanced intensity of confrontation. If things go wrong, he will be ruined, especially for a technical player like him.

According to the intensity of the confrontation, the youth team, the reserve team, and the Premier League let him go up step by step. Najib firmly believes that this is the right path. Even if he encounters setbacks, his confidence will not be broken all at once.

That's how Lamor walked step by step when he came out of the shadow of a serious injury.

It is not to say that the confrontation in the Premier League is a scourge. The problem is Reyes himself. The coaching staff found that he has a tendency to avoid confrontation. This is a special case among players. Therefore, Nagy hopes that Reyes will go to the reserves first, overcome, and solve this problem.

Ronaldo stepped on the ball at the training ground, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He trained hard at Millwall. He didn't have many friends, just those few people. The most people he came into contact with on weekdays were Najib and Najib. Meulenstin, the former is his coach in the youth team, and the latter is the coach who taught him technical ability according to his personal characteristics. Seeing that Najib seemed to be bullyed, this kid wanted to help Najib and support the scene .

As soon as he took a step, his arm was grabbed by someone. He turned his head and saw that it was De Rossi. He frowned and said, Why? Are you afraid?

De Rossi smiled, not paying attention, afraid? What's so scary?

He pointed to the distance of the road on the sidelines. Ronaldo looked over and saw Aldrich walking towards him with a serious expression on his face.

Although Aldridge is only 25 years old, he is really calm and arrogant now.

When Reyes and the family around him found Aldridge coming, they all shut their mouths. The momentum was completely different from before. It was not only weaker by three points, it was like falling to the bottom.

Aldrich didn't know what they were talking about earlier, but judging from the news in the newspaper, things were generally understood.

Boss.

Reyes greeted her with a soft voice, and immediately gave up.

Mr. Hall, hello.

His family tried to calm down and greeted in a normal tone.

Aldridge smiled and nodded to Reyes' family, then turned to look at the practice field, pointing to the young players who were watching.

The players immediately avoided Aldridge's sight and continued training, and the training ground restored its proper scene and order.

Aldrich withdrew his gaze and said calmly: Let's go to the office and have a good talk. No matter what the problem is, I believe that calm communication can solve the problem.

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the training base office building. (to be continued...) ()
