The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves, Qingqing Little Wolf, Jiexi, emper, Sunset, Plum Ball King for their rewards!

The four-year green feast has come to an end. There are many joys and sorrows, and there is no lack of sighs after the tyrants have fallen into the sand. They cannot avoid the sighs of heroes who have lost their glory in the twilight, and there is no shortage of surprises that a new generation of geniuses turned out.

The 26-year-old marshal Aldridge has become the focus of the world, even more than the traditional powerhouse England who won the championship after 36 years of blossoming.

Because he set a series of records that may have no future, because he only covered the sky with his hands and made European football bow his head, because he was also advised by the soldiers of the England team, and finally changed his mind and continued to stay in the coach position of the England team.

What makes the world even more concerned is that after the World Cup, the young coach no longer appeared in the public eye.

He renewed his contract with the FA, signed a two-year contract, and promised to abdicate after another major competition cycle. When this new contract ends, he will never renew it.

To continue to cooperate and work hand in hand with the FA, the young coach has no utilitarian considerations, but is simply moved by the sincerity of the players on the team.

When the England national team triumphantly returned to London, each player was welcomed by the people like a hero, received by the prime minister, met the queen, and visited the palace, but Aldrich did not appear in the ranks.

The young marshal came to China with his family, visited the three mountains and five mountains, walked the Great Wall, and took a look at the rivers, lakes and seas. There was nothing to visit in the noisy city, and the whole family lingered in the natural scenery.

It's just that this trip with family and mouth can't be called chic. Occasionally recognized by Chinese fans. Occasionally, he was harassed by plaintive calls from Millwall players. Others are in China, and Millwall's players are all over the world, with different jet lags. I often wake up in the middle of the night listening to the players in a daze, and I don't sleep well when I'm on vacation.

Compared with the resignation of the head coach of other clubs, the situation in Millwall is very special. It is because of the special existence of Aldridge that he did not leave Millwall. Still the owner of Millwall, and replacing Arthur as club chairman in the new season, no one will take the tea.

There must be complaints in the locker room, but given this special situation, it is hard to say that the relationship with Aldridge is over.

Klinsmann, who took over as the head coach, more or less made everyone a little suspicious. It was nothing more than whether he could have the coaching ability of Aldridge. But taking a step back and looking at football, who will succeed Aldridge? What about the ones suspected by the locker room? Klinsmann has worked with everyone for a few years, so he is slightly better psychologically.

July 1.

Millwall officially held a press conference and Klinsmann officially took office. At the same time, it was announced that the assistant coach Jenson resigned. Jenson originally planned to go elsewhere to start his own business, but Aldridge failed to withdraw from the England team, so he was forced to stay by Aldridge. Team division, the new coaching staff of the national team, Aldrich delegated authority to Jenson to find candidates, anyway, this job will only last for two years at most, Jenson can get started with a lot of work as a head coach, so it should be tempered in advance , while Aldridge was only responsible for tactical design and on-the-spot command, leaving all the rest of the work to Jenson.

As soon as Klinsmann took office, the Spanish media began to fan the flames.

Barcelona fell in love with Ronaldinho, Real Madrid fell in love with Henry, and the La Liga duo made a big deal, and they didn't mind a shocking acquisition.

However, on July 3, Klinsmann brought Henry, Ronaldinho, Nedved, Larson, Southgate, Lampard, Joe Cole, Klose, Ashley Cole, Shi The news of Ned, Bout, Villa and Neil's successful contract renewals detonated European football!

Among them, the three captains of the team signed a 5-year blockbuster contract with a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds!

This almost declares that Southgate, Larson, and Nedved will die forever!

And the Wild Lion also showed unparalleled sincerity and told the whole world how they treated loyal ministers and veteran ministers who accompanied them to conquer the world!

You know, Manchester United's renewal of Beckham is only a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds.

As soon as Millwall made a shot, he overwhelmed Manchester United!

Especially considering that Nedved has not recovered from his serious injury, it is difficult to predict whether he can still win the championship after his injury. This new five-year contract worth more than 20 million pounds has made countless fans of the Wild Lions applaud and praise the Wild Lions for their affection. Righteousness!

And Fleet Street lamented that Aldridge, the chairman, was really loyal. He sent Buddha to the West and helped Klinsmann pave the way.

Sitting opposite the player's contract renewal is Klinsmann. Although Aldrich paid the money, Klinsmann can win people's hearts more or less. At the same time, so many players' contract renewals have another meaning besides creating a sensation. It is nothing more than helping Klinsmann increase his popularity and gain support from the locker room. After all, players get new contracts and their salaries rise. In the Premier League, the head coach has this power.

Now, the La Liga duo wanting to buy Ronaldinho and Henry didn't get much hype before they died down.

The fans of Millwall breathed a sigh of relief. If Henry and Ronaldinho leave, Millwall will really drop a notch directly from the world's top level. Maybe they won't even rank among the first-class.

Northern Ireland

By the sea, at dusk, a young man wears shorts and bares his upper body, goes fishing by boat, and his friends play on the shore. When he is on vacation in summer, he will play with his friends at the seaside when he returns home, or It is listening to concerts in the city, dancing tap dancing, free and romantic but not indulgent.

This is the life he pursues, simple and comfortable, relaxed and comfortable.

When he got back to shore, his friend handed him his phone, saying: It rang twice and we didn't answer.

The mobile phone that rang for the third time was held in his hand. He looked at the caller ID and found that it was his manager. He walked to the beach, and the cool sea water washed the beach repeatedly. It didn't reach the calf, which was very comfortable.

David, stop considering my suggestion?

Andrew, I

Listen to me again. Last time. You stay at Millwall. Only as a substitute. Now, I have more than 10 clubs interested in you, and they are all committed to you. You, 25 gone.

This Northern Irish youth is none other than Millwall player David Lamour.

Lamor stared blankly at the beauty of the setting sun sinking into the end of the sea.

Yes, he is 25.

Substitute again. In this life, he will always be a substitute in the giants, and, in a few years, he may not even be able to be a substitute.

Andrew, didn't the club give me a new contract? If not, I'll be on a free transfer after the contract expires. If the club signs me up, please let me know. I'll go back to London to pack my bags.

David, you should think more about yourself. Millwall is a giant, just like the Bernabeu in Madrid and the Nou Camp in Barcelona. In this kind of place, the success of a genius is to suck up countless talents of the same generation. blood!

Andrew's tone on the phone was both helpless and sad.

As an agent, as Aldrich's elder brother, he always thought that he could simply stand in Aldrich's position, but he was wrong, an agent is also a human being, and when dealing with players, even if they worry about trivial matters for them, Feelings will develop.

Millwall's lack of one Larmore is nothing more than looking for a substitute, and Larmore's persistence, what he lost may be a golden opportunity for prosperity.

Lamour is a child prodigy. He was taken to Anfield by Liverpool at the age of 16. However, he fell from the throne of genius to the abyss. Without Millwall and Aldridge, where would he be now? The outside world does not know, Aldridge knows, but is not sure, it should be unknown, but La Moore knows that when he was disheartened and encountered a trough in his life, he wanted to escape, wanted to return to his hometown, Just make do with it.

Northern Ireland is also the desert of football, the desert in the map of European football, just when he was going to go from the oasis to the desert, it was Millwall, and it was Aldrich who gave him another choice, which allowed him to Here, returning to Northern Ireland is a return to the hometown, and it is a return to the mentality of leisure and vacation.

For him, there is no ambition anymore, Millwall needs him, he stays, Millwall doesn't need him, he leaves to visit Aldrich and Najib's house, then pack his bags and go anywhere It doesn't matter.

David, Millwall has a new five-year contract for you and I don't want you to sign because you'll be forgotten at Millwall and not remembered by most people, even if you wanted to. Loyal minister.

It doesn't matter, you can let me know when the contract is renewed.

Ugh

Lamour faced the sea for a while, then turned and ran to his friends, shouting excitedly: I'm going to renew my contract with the team for 5 years, haha, there is a new contract!

After Klinsmann took office, the transfer and signing work started immediately, but in the eyes of the media, it was just a closing transfer of Millwall.

6 million pounds knocked on the door of Groningen in the Netherlands, plus the 2 million pounds they had paid as a deposit, a total of 8 million pounds will be the account of the new generation of Peter Pan Robben in the Netherlands, but during the signing process, Robben As an agent, his father asked for a high salary and was a little nervous with Millwall, and the negotiation almost collapsed, which caused the transfer to die

Millwall's second transfer has silenced Fleet Street.

Millwall officially launched a special talent clause, with one quota a year. Last year, they introduced Kaka, which proved that the quota is genuine.

However, this clause was activated again this year, and the FA's first hearing passed the review, which made it clear to the outside world that this was the FA's opening the door.

why?

Millwall have brought in a Brazilian defender.

Defender!

That's right, the fucking guard.

How does the defender prove that he is not a genius?

This is obviously tricky and adulterous!

But Fleet Street didn't make trouble, nor did it cause a storm of public opinion. Even though everyone knew that the FA was giving Aldrich face, no one thought there was a problem.

The young coach is now an extremely noble existence in the hearts of the English people. Everyone loves him. He led the national team part-time and brought back the Hercules Cup. What's wrong with opening the door for transfer operations?

Furthermore, this genius clause is not without loopholes. There is no standard definition of genius. From the perspective of a young commander, if he says he is a genius, who would dare to refute it? How about we take a gamble? 3 years later, 5 years later to decide who wins and who loses?

Only The Sun unscrupulously mocked the FA with a graphic.

The content of the picture is very simple. A group of people have the Football Association written on them. The young coach pointed to a pig and said: This is a genius.

The text that symbolizes the people in front of the FA group is: Yes, a genius!

The Sun newspaper that day was spurned by thousands of people, and even caused mass protests. The Sun originally intended to mock the FA, but in the eyes of many people, it was also humiliating Aldrich. Post an apology.

Who is this talented defender from Brazil?

London Heathrow International Airport.

It was raining lightly today, and the two men who walked out of the airport were carrying luggage. The young man in suits and leather shoes stood side by side with a young man with a dark complexion. The older man is now part of the Millwall club's transfer operations team. A person with a high position in the middle class, named Clayton, went to France alone to bring Ribery back for Millwall outside the Lille Youth Academy. This summer, he went to Brazil alone, bringing the man with his luggage A suitcase, and a kid with a slightly shabby backpack on his back was brought to London.

The Brazilian boy looked like a shabby countryman who went to the city, and he was a little uncomfortable standing next to Clayton.

Everything seemed to him like a dream.

Two years ago, he had no ball to play and was given up by the Brazilian club. Later, a representative of the agent company came to sign him, sent him to a Brazilian club for professional training, and made it clear to him at that time Yes, we will help him land in Europe in the future!

It's just that this landed in Europe, he never thought that it would be a step up to the sky!

Came directly to London, an international metropolis, and are about to head to Millwall!

After a while, a magnificent Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them. The Brazilian boy was startled and took a step back subconsciously. After seeing the license plate, Clayton patted him on the shoulder and smiled: Don't be nervous, This is for us.

The Brazilian kid opened his mouth wide with disbelief.

The car door opened, and there was a gentle-looking man in his thirties sitting inside. He waved to the Brazilian boy and said, How about English?

The Brazilian kid carefully sat in the car when Craig helped him hold the car door, and the man in the car kindly helped him unload the big backpack on his back. At this moment, he said nervously: After studying for more than a year, it's normal. Communication should be fine.

Hehe, that's good. Let me introduce myself. My name is Andrew Hall. I have half of the shares in the agency that signed you before. Since you are only 18 in September, you will be training in Millwall during this period. Wait 9 The new contract will only take effect in January, but it doesn’t matter, Millwall has provided you with a dormitory. Today I will take you to familiarize yourself with the city and introduce you to the local situation. When you are tired, go to the Ritz Hotel for dinner. Don’t think that I am Good intentions, hehe, I want to be your manager, and I'm just buying you now, Thiago.

Although the other party was open and honest, the Brazilian kid felt warm in his heart. He thought that his fate had changed and he couldn't do without the man in front of him.

When the Rolls-Royce was driving around the city, Andrew looked out the window and smiled leisurely: You may not believe it, but someone has really high expectations for you. Judging from your age and position on the court, Maybe you'll be one of the top players in European football for the next twenty years.

The brazilian boy didn't know what to say, it seemed that the other party's expectations were too high. Given his current situation, what others said was mostly bragging or irony.

Andrew turned his head to look at him, and said something that the Brazilian boy half understood.

Thiago Silva, Millwall captain Southgate, will be 32 when you turn 18 in September. (To be continued...) ()
