The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves, Youku 4 and Kourou Pot for their rewards!

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

On the roof of the hotel where the night wind was blowing, Jan Sen suddenly felt that everything in front of him seemed unreal.

Hearing Aldridge's words, he fell into a daze immediately, and didn't even notice that the wine glass in his hand was tilted and the wine spilled on his lap.

Ha ha ha ha......

Aldrich originally laughed out loud, but the movement of Earl turning over in his arms made him immediately lower his voice, and then coughed himself, but the smile on his face still remained.

Jason suddenly realized that he had been cheated!

Aldridge can be a bit insane at times, but insolence and idiot are two different things.

The Queen of England knighted him, and he said fuck off?

etc.

Jansen put the wine glass on the small square table, wiped his thighs quickly, and asked solemnly: The matter of the knighthood, is it fake? I remember that for a while, Fleet Street was hyping the royal family to knight you.

Aldrich looked down at Earl, and after confirming that Earl hadn't been woken up, he said: It's true, there was a discussion before, and the content was only about the rank of honor. Now that the England team has reached the semi-finals, even if they lose two games in a row This is also the second-best result in England’s World Cup. In addition to the success of the club, I also have a brilliant achievement leading the national team. Of course, in terms of England, this result is placed in Germany or Brazil. Haha, it is estimated that Wanmin It’s not enough to be spurned, but to fail, not to succeed, for sure.”

Jansen nodded knowingly, feeling happy for Aldrich, and then asked again: Then your answer?

I'm not crazy. Of course I won't say fuck off. I was joking just now. I just want to see your reaction. It's very good. How should I say it? I don't think it matters. The British royal family is willing to knight me. I just accept it, no Yes, I will live my life as usual, but I did reject the date set by the knighthood over there. Because after the World Cup is over, I plan to accompany my family to China for a visit, to be knighted, and then I will talk about it when I go back.”

Aldridge picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with Jenson, and took a leisurely sip.

Jansen couldn't laugh or cry at this moment, he shook his head and said, Because you want to travel, you asked the British royal family to postpone the date? You are so arrogant, as if the British royal family owes you.

That's wrong, they set a date.

Without asking for my opinion, I have my plan. It's not like you don't know that the journey between Europe and Asia is exhausting. The British royal family doesn't owe me anything, and I don't owe the British royal family anything. Why should I change my plan?

I'll give you a knighthood.

I'm not rare, if you have it, what if you don't?

Ha, take it.

Aldridge drank two sips of wine, there was silence on the roof for a while, and then, Aldridge suddenly said: After the World Cup, I plan to retire, the work of the England national team is over, the head coach of Millwall, I have notified Jurgen took over, you should already know, right?

When he said these words, his tone became serious.

Jansen nodded and said: Jurgen has started calling club players these days. I didn't ask when I saw it, but I guessed some. Your hard work last season is actually a sign. Hard work pays off, Mir Wall's second great glory in eight years, seven crowns, and the past and present, you have retired honorably and enjoyed life, of course, after all, there are almost no challenges in front of you. I thought you didn't notify me. I'm going to carry on at Millwall, it seems not.

The two have known each other for more than ten years. In addition to friendship, there is also a tacit understanding. They know each other well, and sometimes they can know their hearts without words.

What Aldridge said at this time is actually a kind of showdown, but this kind of showdown is not a breakup, but an open and honest one.

You also definitely want to be on your own, so you won't stay. If you stay again, you were a teaching assistant eight years ago, and you will still be a teaching assistant eight years later. In the second eight years, in the third eight years, maybe it will be you After retirement, you have always been an assistant coach, but you want to be the head coach.

Upon hearing this, Jansen nodded with a serious expression.

Why didn't you pick me for Millwall? I'm confident I can do a better job than Jurgen.

Jansen turned his head to stare at Aldrich.

Aldridge looked at him, and said in a deep voice: If you are willing to coach Millwall, you nod now and sign the contract with me, and I will let Jurgen leave tomorrow.

If Jansen is willing to stay as the coach, Aldridge is also confident that Jansen will do better than Klinsmann.

In addition to fame, Jenson is better than Klinsmann in other aspects, and his authority in the team is also higher than Klinsmann, which comes from seniority. Compared with Klinsmann, the Dutchman Jensen, the bloodline of the Wild Lion is more pure, because he is the first witness and veteran of the Aldrich era.

The corner of Jensen's mouth curled into a beautiful arc, and he said, I refuse.

Aldrich rolled his eyes, as if he had foreseen it.

As Jenson knew him, he knew Jenson.

Compared with Klinsmann, who has been brilliant in the player era, being a coach is a bit of a half-way home. Jenson is more like Aldridge. He set his first goal as a coach at a young age. The coach is the journey to display your talents and strive to realize your ambitions and ambitions.

The more this is the case, the more this kind of person wants to prove himself and is unwilling to live in the shadow of others.

It would be too risky for Jenson to be Millwall's next coach!

It is very difficult to turn over after being planted.

It's done, but it's just being criticized for gnawing on Aldridge's old book.

Unlike Klinsmann, who was brilliant in his own player era, if he succeeds, even if someone doubts it, he will not be able to withstand the blind admiration of more fans in reality, and it will become a good story.

Therefore, Jenson wants to be the coach. He will definitely leave Millwall to start his own business. This is similar to Benitez. Benitez thought about this before coming to Millwall. Millwall has achieved a little bit of glory. , leave immediately, and will never touch Millwall's glory again. Even so, Benitez has emerged in La Liga, and he is constantly being linked to Aldridge by the outside world. The embarrassing master-student relationship is simply unimaginable.

For example, the original history later said that Van Gaal and Mourinho were mentors and apprentices.

This is unbelievable. Van Gaal is completely different from Mourinho in terms of football philosophy, formation, and tactical concepts. If Mourinho really studied under Van Gaal , then he is obviously a traitor who deceived his master and exterminated his ancestors, and when Mourinho and Van Gaal meet again to reminisce about the old days, they will be hyped as masters and apprentices, which is even more nonsense. When Nites, Klinsmann and others met, the most basic social etiquette might be interpreted as greetings between master and disciple.

Want to hear my opinion?

Well, you say.

Aldridge took the advice of his eight-year-old friend very seriously.

After a moment of silence, Jenson said: Perhaps Jurgen is the best choice for you to retire and take over as the head coach because he has prestige in the team, but in the long run, there may be great risks. , In the years I have been working with Jurgen, I think he may be a little idealized. To put it bluntly, after he came to Millwall, the team management, team operation, and team management he saw The development is very smooth without many ups and downs. He is not like our initial experience of step by step from the shabby Lion’s Den Stadium to the glorious Lion King Stadium. He did not work carefully after selling half of the team’s main players. The details are wrong and the vigilance of the complete collapse, even, he has never experienced the mentality of walking on thin ice when we went to Europe for the first time, let alone feel personally like Stam left, and the Spanish wings did not want to come back after loaning out , Van der Meyde's outspokenness to the media, Ferdinand's Christmas scandal and so on, which require the head coach to make a decisive decision.

Aldrich nodded and said: Yes, he lacks experience in this area, but I invite a coach who is more experienced than him. The problems that may be faced will explode in a short period of time. Outsiders are not familiar with Millwall. Maybe an immature decision will detonate the order of the entire locker room. What you said is indeed a potential disadvantage. It may happen, it may not, but in the end, it is long-term, so I will only give him two years. To choose him, there are considerations of a smooth transition as you said, and there is also the favor of giving him a stage to take off, but whether he can succeed or not depends on himself. I believe that he attaches great importance to this opportunity. Decisions must be carefully considered.”

Jansen took a sip of wine and asked, Why didn't you choose Najib? Najib's prestige is unmatched by Klinsmann, even me, and most of the players in the first team are watched by Najib in the youth team. You have grown up, and Najib's record in leading the youth team over the years is comparable to yours, although the meaning is completely different.

Aldrich shook his head and smiled wryly: If there were only friendly matches in football, no benefits, and no external pressure, Najib would be more suitable as the coach than me. However, to be the coach of a wealthy club, you must learn to deal with the media and have the ability to deal with crises. Ability, but also enough courage to deter all opponents, these are difficult for Najib, only the youth team, where there is almost no such pressure, is the most suitable for him.

It sounds like a tyrant can be the coach of a wealthy family.

Sometimes you just have to have the guts of a dictator to win over a bunch of multimillionaires playing football.

Jason was thoughtful when he heard the words.

Aldrich poured wine into the glasses of the two, raised the glasses and asked with a smile: After the World Cup, do you need me to write you a letter of recommendation? You can use it to bluff, even if you fail, I will take the blame, won't you?

Jansen laughed when he heard the joke, and this reaction made Aldrich feel familiar.

Sure enough, what Jenson said next left him speechless.

The recommendation letter is exempted, but if I can really become the head coach of a fairly capable club, hehe, then I will ask you for some good seedlings, so you can't be stingy. (Unfinished to be continued..)
