The Young Lion

From the moment Aldridge came to the city of Rome, the entire European football world has set off ripples, and in the city of Rome, not only football reporters but also Lazio fans flocked.

Distraught and heartbroken, more than 100 Blue Eagles fans gathered outside the Forhero training ground.

Thinking of the team’s arrears of wages being brought to court by the players, thinking of the team’s almost inability to register in the new Serie A season, thinking of Manchester United and Valencia’s door-to-door debt collection, thinking of FIFA’s ultimatum.... ..

Lazio needs a savior!

But this savior is by no means Sir Hall who came here waving the pound.

Their savior is the child they watched grow up, Nesta, king of Rome!

The team needs cash to solve urgent needs, and there is no need to guess or verify the current situation.

Since the rise of Millwall, the Wild Lions have established a strong image. It seems that there is nothing they cannot do. They are a team that emerged from a miracle and are the top pioneers of the era. The domineering lion sweeps everything in the green field!

When Nesta drove out of the training base in a Mercedes-Benz, these fans surrounded him, appealing to Nesta to stay, and asked him in a panic what the Millwall executives wanted to do when they came to Lazio.

One fan even knelt in front of his car, begging him to stay in grief!

There is no doubt that Nesta is the hero in the hearts of the fans, just like he dared to slap the table with Craniotti, in order to let the club lower the ticket price, so that more fans who love Lazio can enter the stadium and cheer for the team at close range.

this moment. Nesta faced countless fans asking about him. Tell a white lie.

I don't know anything. I haven't signed yet.

In fact, the transfer agreement has been reached, Millwall, Lazio, Nesta, the three parties have all signed the agreement, and now it is just going through the process. Just declare to the Football Association to confirm the transfer.

The fans around his car saw the dodge in his eyes, his words flickered, and gradually, the surrounding fell silent.

Nesta continued: If I left for the good of Lazio, I hope you understand...

He couldn't continue, because his vision was cloudy, and he was already in tears.

 …

In the afternoon, accompanied by his agent and Millwall executives, Nesta walked into Rome Airport and got into the luxury airliner of Millwall Club. Go straight to London.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lazio officially announced Nesta's transfer to the Premier League Millwall club.

Fleet Street spread the breaking news immediately!

England signing king is born! Superstar Nesta arrives at the Lion King Stadium!

The Wild Lion Dynasty will not fall. Nesta and Southgate support the defense team!

Sir Hall gave Klinsmann a month-late birthday present!

The 26-year-old Nesta is coming, and the Lions' defense will be worry-free for ten years!

More than 5,000 Millwall fans went to the airport to welcome Nesta's arrival.

Countless Wild Lions fans had the urge to burst into tears at this moment.

How many years?

No, it shouldn't be how many years.

This is the first time in history!

The Millwall team has been established for more than 100 years, and it is the first time to sign a superstar in the transfer market!

This is definitely different from Nedved and Ronaldinho when they came. The stars in the team grow into stars step by step in the team, superstars, not superstars when they come.

Even Henry, when he came here, was still far from a superstar.

So I can understand the excitement of Wild Lions fans, as if celebrating the Chinese New Year, they went to the airport to welcome Nesta ecstatically!

And Millwall, who is far away in Monaco, is in the UEFA Super Cup with Feyenoord.

Klinsmann obviously couldn't focus on the game, and there was a fire burning in his heart.

The expression has always been weird, because he wants to laugh, but he can't help it.

Nesta!

Worry-free defense!

No Metzelder, no more.

In fact, when Aldridge sold Metzelder, he was not absolutely sure that Nesta could be brought to the Lion King Stadium.

It's just that Real Madrid offered a price that he thought was in line with Metzelder's worth, so it's not a loss to do this deal. Even without Metzelder, he always believes that the experienced Neil is better than Metzelder, Barr Zali is more reliable. With Neil around, Metzelder and Barzali can be sold.

Now with Nesta, I dare not really say that the defense will have no worries for ten years, at least there will be no obvious crisis in the short term, and the 26-year-old Nesta can give Silva, Barzagli and other young people a better life. There is room for growth to prevent them from collapsing under tremendous pressure at a young age. After all, for a giant like Millwall, any slight mistake will be infinitely magnified by the outside world.

Millwall beat Feyenoord 3-1 in Monaco to win the UEFA Super Cup.

Klinsmann coached the Wild Lions in the new season. In less than a month, he won two tasteless championships, which is better than nothing, which will help stabilize the morale of the army and improve their own prestige.

He returned to London overnight, and the next day, Klinsmann immediately held a press conference and appeared with Nesta, announcing Nesta's joining with great interest.

Nesta officially debuted at the Lion King Stadium!

Klinsmann's mouth was crooked with joy, even if he missed the draw ceremony of the Champions League in the new season, he didn't regret it at all.

A joy and a worry.

Millwall introduced superstar Nesta before the transfer door was closed to make up for the defense, but in the new season's Champions League group stage draw, they were divided into the death group.

millwall.

Barcelona.

milan.

lance.

After Klinsmann knew the result of the draw, he couldn't laugh anymore!

The Times commented: There are too many tasks left for Klinsmann in the new season. Rebuild Millwall's midfield system, attack the defending league, and knead a new lineup. Now, the Champions League will start in half a month. It is the toughest challenge!

There are Manchester United and Arsenal watching for the throne inside, and powerful enemies Milan and Barcelona outside, watching Klinsmann's life. It's really hard.

 …

Aldridge did not leave Rome after finalizing Nesta's transfer. His boss spends a lot of money. He is more generous than when he was the head coach a few years ago, which made Fleet Street look up to him and made countless coaches in the world envy Klinsmann.

The young coach left you a top lineup, the only back line is a bit flawed, and he spent 32 million pounds to bring you Nesta!

Especially the young commander-in-chief doesn't steal the limelight from you at all!

Where can I find such a boss?

Aldrich took Earl to play in the city of Rome. Unfortunately, Burt would rather stay at home and be with football. Did not come together.

After walking around the Colosseum and visiting the Vatican, on September 2, Aldridge walked out of the Pantheon holding Earl's little hand. It was dusk, and the setting sun made the surrounding landscape beautiful. Sitting down at the bottom of the steps, Earl filmed nearby with his camera.

Seeing his child lively and happy, Aldridge was always in a state of joy.

As for the result of Millwall's Champions League draw, he didn't take it seriously after reading the news.

What about the Group of Death?

It is Barcelona and Milan that should tremble. It was Lance who should be complaining.

Earl ran back to him, holding the camera and suddenly asked, Dad, have you been here before?

Aldrich nodded, and said, Yes, I have been here, brought a team here to play games, also traveled here alone, and was robbed by bad guys here, haha.

Earl's clear eyes were shining and full of admiration.

Perhaps in his opinion, traveling alone is a very great thing, because no matter where he goes, adults will follow him like a shadow.

Aldrich held his chin, thinking of the last time he came to Rome alone, it was the footprint of his struggle and entrepreneurship, and his efforts to fulfill his promise.

The Aldridge who broke into the Millwall post-match press conference back then, boasted that he would start a new era, an Aldridge who had the courage of If I were the young emperor in his year, I will repay the same love with the peach blossoms.

Perhaps, it has really disappeared.

Aldridge laughed at himself and shook his head.

If it really disappeared, he should accept Abramovich's 1 billion pounds.

Why not want to sell the team to Abramovich?

Speaking of it, Abramovich is a rare good boss in the football circle. Except for the occasional desire to control, it will add chaos to the club.

But after all, compared to too many bosses who are greedy for money and have bad intentions, Abu couldn't be better.

Perhaps it is because he wants Millwall to be more brilliant and insists on keeping it in his own hands. Otherwise, why buy Nesta?

Dad, let's go home, I miss Bert, and Aunt Ivan.

Earl's words pulled Aldrich back from his contemplation to reality. Aldrich stood up and smiled at Earl: Race?

Earl grinned, then turned his head and ran in the direction he came from. Aldrich shouted behind him: How cunning! Slow down, I can't catch up with you! You are such a little superman!

 …

When Aldridge returned to England, Millwall had just finished their first game in September, the League Cup.

Millwall swept Bristol Rovers 7-0.

But this game did not allow Klinsmann to get even a word of praise!

The nature of Fleet Street is revealed, and it is not stingy to ridicule!

David Miller, who was once considered Aldrich's confidant and Millwall's royal ball critic, also turned his gun and criticized Klinsmann.

The European overlord, Millwall, which has won the Premier League title for four consecutive years, sent the strongest lineup at home against the underdogs in the third tier! 7:0, what a great score, what an ecstatic result? Is Jergen Klinsmann dancing at home to celebrate this carnage? Is he triumphant that he has successfully continued Millwall's glory? It's amazing! To achieve the ambition of defending the League Cup! Kaka, Ronaldo, Joe Cole, Villa and other young players off the court must stand up and applaud for the wonderful performance of the main players in the team, and for Klinsmann Ronaldinho, Henry, and Larson, who fought hard for 90 minutes without a minute of rest, should smile after the game even if they are tired, but why? Why didn’t they smile after the game? , do they think differently from Klinsmann? Do they not value their opponents?...

David Miller used ironic embellishments to warn Klinsmann that a 7-0 victory would not explain any problems at all, and Klinsmann not only made Nesta's debut, but also other main players. It's more like an adult holding an ak47 in his arms and shooting wildly at unarmed children. Besides showing off, what's the point?

There are many disadvantages, the lack of rest for the main players is one, and the lack of room for young players to exercise is the second.

The first point alone will have a key impact on the trend of a season!

The second point is likely to bury hidden dangers for the team's long-term stability.

After all, young players have to strive for the top position. It is a fact that they are not capable enough now, but if they are not given the opportunity to exercise, how can their ability be improved? Just rely on training?

This is tantamount to depriving them of the opportunity to succeed.

When Aldrich returned to England, he just shook his head, thinking that Klinsmann was too nervous when he read the newspapers ridiculing Klinsmann.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you want to get off to a good start, you must win all the games as much as possible.

Maybe Klinsmann thought that after the League Cup, the players would report to the national team, so he didn't feel at ease.

Once he gets used to this position, he might be able to cope better. (to be continued..) ()
