Chapter 61 - Digging and kicking
At the dinner of the English Football Coaches Association, Aldridge received the award for the best coach of the Premier League season, which is the most coquettish person in the entire evening after Nottingham Forest coach Frank Clark.
Nottingham Forest was promoted to the Premier League last season, and under the leadership of Frank Clark, a Brian Crawford disciple, won the second season. It is another small miracle in Nottingham Forest.
In the course of the party, Aldridge also had a brief exchange with several Premier League coaches. In fact, many Premier League clubs want to introduce players from Millwall, so let’s explore Aldridge’s tone first. As far as the rich team is concerned, Aldrich directly declares that any player on the team is not for sale.
When the season ended completely, Middlesbrough successfully got the last Premier League ticket, and the season was completely declared over.
Aldridge started the operation of the summer transfer market.
The sponsors were handed over to Adam to talk about, the sponsorship of the Barack Bank, the sponsorship of Puma, and the on-court advertising, etc., which are expected to bring about three million pounds of valuable income for the team at the beginning of the season.
Early in the morning, after having breakfast, Aldridge called Andrew at home and asked him to meet at the intersection.
At ten in the morning, a white BMW was parked on the street. Aldridge saw Andrew sitting in the driver’s seat, and in the co-pilot’s seat was a beautiful girl in a thin dress. He didn’t know and hit with a smile. Hello.
“Ah… what are you doing with me this morning?”
Andrew was dressed casually, his shirts were not tucked into his trousers, he pulled out his cigarette after getting out of the car, ordered one by the door, and then handed one to Aldridge.
Aldridge lit a cigarette and smiled: “It was originally something for you to help you. It seems that you are very busy. Forget it, you can introduce an assistant in the company to help me. One or two in the future In a few months, I may have to go abroad, but I will run around in the country first. In short, I need intelligence personnel.”
After vomiting a smoke ring, Andrew turned his head toward the car and said, “Baby, please get off the car and go home. I will be busy.”
“Huh? Isn’t it good to go on holiday in France?”
“Good boy, I want to work. You can go home first. You can go whenever you go on vacation.”
“Andrew! Your promise is shit!”
“Oh, maybe, you drive away, yes, don’t contact me again, bye.”
Faced with the irritable beauty, Andrew didn’t have the demeanor at all. He wrapped Aldridge’s shoulder directly and walked forward. He took the phone from his pocket and asked someone to drive another car.
Aldridge laughed dumbly and asked, “Is this blowing?”
Andrew squatted on the side of the road and smoked, casually saying: “Well, blowing, she thought she was a princess, I can only apologize, and her prince will not accommodate me.”
Aldridge somewhat admired the second brother, although a dude’s work on weekdays, but always have a clear priority.
Thinking that he just needed some intelligence information and did not need Andrew to accompany him throughout the journey, he crouched down beside the road and said, “You don’t really need to go with me on vacation.”
Andrew flicked the cigarette **** in his hand and turned his head and laughed: “What a joke, our family’s money is not blown by the wind. I don’t care about the money-making thing. What do I mean when I live? What do you mean by finding me? , Right? I’m going together as the boss of the brokerage company. This is sincerity, and money won’t take the initiative to walk into my pocket.”
Aldridge smiled and nodded, “OK, let’s go together.”
Soon after, Andrew’s assistant drove an Audi and stopped by the roadside. Andrew took a tie from his assistant and tied it around his neck. Then he loosened the belt on the side of the street to tuck the shirt in and lost his hair. Less than three minutes after walking on the tires of the car, the handsome guy with impeccable clothing pulled in the car door and sat in. The renewed speed made Aldridge an eye-opener.
“Speak, where to go?”
“Help me check the information of four people in your company’s information library, Joseph Peel John Cole, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard.”
After Aldridge finished speaking, he looked out the window and waited quietly.
Andrew picked up his mobile phone and called back to the company. The intelligence information was kept in the company and was updated regularly. The scouts in his company were no less than those in top clubs, no, or more like his company. detective.
Every year in England, there are geniuses who are clamored by the media, but there are not many geniuses who can finally get on the big stage. The first name mentioned by Aldridge is one. Perhaps it is better to call another louder name for future generations: Joe · Cole.
Joe Cole is a genius, and the football talent revealed from the small exhibition can attract the attention of all parties.
Aldridge can only get a lot of chips now, it is nothing more than money, but for many players, it is a temptation in itself. There are not many people who can resist the temptation of money in this world, and most of them are only money. How much.
Andrew put down the phone and Mo said that all four of them were in London. Even in other places, he could find out what happened. After all, it was his potential customer.
“Neither Cole has joined any clubs yet. As for Ferdinand and Lampard, it’s a bit troublesome. The latest news I got is that this summer, West Ham United is ready to give them an adult team contract.”
Aldridge thought for a moment with his eyes closed, and said in a deep voice: “Then find them both first, it’s interesting, why don’t you dig a foot from a dead enemy? How much weekly salary will West Ham United give them?”
“Struck £600, or £60.”
“I give 3000.”
“Haha, you’re going to be an idiot with a lot of money!”
“Time will tell who is a fool.”
Andrew drove Aldridge straight to Leo Ferdinand’s house.
Aldrich came to the door personally. He didn’t think it was a self-degrading identity. Some transfers required the head coach to come in to impress the players.
At that time, the Manchester City manager was waiting for Giggs to sign the contract in the office. As a result, he didn’t see anyone until dark. When asked about the next day, Manchester United manager Ferguson went to visit Giggs and directly poached the two decades of football in England. Tianzun Zuo…
On the three-point acre of London, Aldridge obviously has a lot of fame. First, he is the most glaring Premier League coach last season. Second, Millwall will be in the Premier League next season. The media naturally Will warm up in advance, the news about him and Millwall, for the people in the football circle, has long gone.
Therefore, Aldrich and Andrew came to visit Ferdinand together, which attracted the attention of the Ferdinand family. Even his relatives came. Aldrich impressed Ferdinand with his sincerity and weekly salary in the contract.
Frank Lampard’s transfer was a little more complicated because his father held a position at the West Ham United club, but the relationship with the club was not good, so Aldridge also promised Old Lampard a The Millwall club’s position then took away Lampard with their high weekly salary.
The West Ham United, which was originally planning to give Lampard and Ferdinand a contract in July, was annoyed to find that their Star of Hope was tempted away by a high salary by their rival enemy Millwall.
The turmoil of the youth army caused by Millwall last season is the biggest attraction for Aldridge to be able to check in players. Perhaps he has not achieved any achievements in the Premier League, but in terms of training young players, every young player on his team The players seem to have great potential, and they have performed amazingly under his hands.
When the night fell, Aldridge and Andrew drove to the suburbs. The two ate junk fast food, drank beer, and talked by the Audi car. On this day, Aldridge checked in for the club. Four young players.
Although Joe Cole is only 13 years old, Ashley Cole is only 15 years old.
But Lampard and Ferdinand are already 17 years old, and they are definitely good pawns for two or three years.
The success of the first day made Aldridge feel confident, but the next day he and Andrew went to Merseyside in northwest England, but encountered a series of collisions.
Manchester United have 92 classes, and Liverpool, also a traditional English giant, also has 96 classes, and the most dazzling among these 96 classes are the three players.
Aldridge encountered a rejection at Carragher’s house one morning, and was sent off directly by Owen’s parents.
With only one Gerald left, Aldridge met the future Red Army soul in the cafe.
The young and slightly green Gerald was wearing casual clothes. Although he pretended to be an old-fashioned look, his eyes turned around to sell out the quirky elves in his heart.
“Reject? Why? Steven, do you have any dissatisfaction you can raise, weekly salary? Two thousand is too small, I can give two thousand five. If you are worried about accommodation, the club can provide apartments…”
“Uh, sir, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want to sign with a team other than Liverpool.”
Gerald lowered his head slightly evasively.
Aldrich scratched his head and asked strangely: “Well? Then why did you go to other clubs for trial training? You agreed to meet me again? You can refuse me directly on the phone.”
Aldridge had great expectations before coming, especially when I heard that Gerald was looking for club training everywhere, but no club could sign him. Aldridge thought everyone else was blind and could not see This is a gem.
Gerrard whispered a little apologetically: “That’s it, I want to put pressure on the Liverpool club in this way to let them contract me as soon as possible.”
Aldridge was dumbfounded.
Oh shit!
I was fooled by this kid!
He was also used as a stepping stone!
Needless to say, the news of Millwall digging Gerald will soon be spread. Even if no reporter finds out, Gerald will shout to the outside, so that he can pass into the ears of Liverpool Club.
Aldrich left Merseyside in a humble mood, and the cause of digging the wall was hit hard.
On the way back to London, Aldridge smiled bitterly in his heart. He should have realized this long ago. Where are the giant stars of hope, so easy to dig? Why are the brave soldiers who are rooted in Miaohong go wandering outside?
Only West Ham United, a team that neither pursues nor has any heritage, can easily **** players away. Think of Paul Ince…
After Aldridge lamented, he regained his spirit and continued to dig a corner according to his own plan. It is not only the giants who have good seedlings, but the big waves, and we know better than others where there is gold.
