The Young Lion

In English football, there are only three giants in the traditional sense that have ruled football, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

And teams like Everton, Tottenham, etc., can only be regarded as a team that has weight in football, but it is definitely not a big team. As for the later rise of Chelsea, even two thousand years ago, they even called the old powerhouses. Not on.

Aldridge wants to find a weighty figure in contemporary football. Arsenal are overwhelming. Horston, who took over the team halfway last season, has left, and his successor is Bruce Leoch. As for Liverpool, Aldridge has nothing to do with the opposing coach Roy Evans. Moreover, the fact that he dug the three players of the Liverpool youth team in Merseyside was deliberately stabbed by Gerald. Obviously, Liverpool Would not welcome Aldridge’s visit.

The only thing left to say is very important, of course, is Manchester United coach, Ferguson is about to usher in Manchester United’s tenth year.

When Aldridge called the Ferguson’s house and said the matter briefly, Ferguson agreed without saying anything, and then chatted with Aldrich about Shevchenko with great interest.

Although the transfer is not completed, Manchester United may cut off, but Aldridge does not think that Ferguson will directly pay a transfer fee of nearly two million pounds to a player that Manchester United has not investigated, even if Aldridge’s team does not. Little baby, it’s hard to guarantee that he won’t look away, this kind of thing is common in football.

As for the remuneration for doing this, the mature Ferguson did not mention it. They were smart people and did not agree with each other. Aldrich owed Ferguson a favor. He came to Japan and always came when Manchester United needed Aldridge to make concessions.

With Ferguson coming forward as a guarantee, Aldridge has no worries about Shevchenko’s transfer.

And at the beginning of July, after Andrew called him on the phone, Aldridge was planning to suspend the transfer, but he was very busy.

In the hotel where the team was staying during the training, Aldridge pushed open the meeting room, gently closed the door, and then walked slowly to the table, where Andrew was sitting.

“Really? Does his family agree?”

Aldridge speaks very lowly, because from the legal point of view, it may be illegal to operate. Although the consequences will not be too serious, it will be a great blow to reputation.

Andrew whispered while touching his chin: “Agree? They wish they could move out of the slum immediately! I’ve been to Brazil, Aldridge, you don’t know, I only discovered that children in East London had Fortunately, in Brazil’s slums, those children either left the club with fame or became pawns for drug dealers or gangsters. In contrast, East London is simply heaven, and you can imagine being awakened by gunshots when sleeping at midnight How normal is it?”

Aldridge had a certain understanding of the chaos in South America during this period, but after all, he was not immersive and he was not subjective to comment.

Unbuttoning the suit, hands on hips, Aldridge closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, “How much does it cost?”

“It will cost £1.05 million to be handed over to the UK. In addition to providing them with livelihood security and job opportunities, I estimate that in the next five years, you will invest more than £2 million in this family. Erdrich, to be honest , I feel a little risky and not worth it.”

Andrew cautiously expressed his inner thoughts.

Aldridge gasped quickly.

The mind is running fast.

Two million pounds?

Is it worth the risk?

The Brazilians in that family had a child named Ronaldo de Assis Moreira.

Or called: Ronaldinho!

Fifteen years old this year, he was accidentally discovered by Andrew scouts in Brazil.

After learning about Ronaldinho’s family situation, Andrew let scouts make tentative contacts.

The life of a family is almost dependent on the mother and brother, but the money his brother can make in Gremio is negligible. Brazil’s ball market is far less prosperous than a decade later, otherwise there will not be Brazil every year. Stars landed in Europe, unlike in almost two decades, Brazilian domestic stars are more willing to stay in the home country, at least not inferior to Europe in terms of earning money.

His father died early, and there is a sister at home. This kind of story is too familiar to his mother. Almost half of the Brazilian stars have a similar tragic childhood.

Aldridge only wanted Ronaldinho, but it was impossible.

If you want to be strong first, you will have to bring the other party’s family to the UK, even if the brother who is already self-reliant.

“Can the Immigration Department do it?”

“It’s not a big problem. Follow the charter. It’s just a matter of time. The review process is handed over to the lawyer.”

“Then you can help me with this matter, money, I can’t give you from the club account, go back and privately, any way, I will give you another two million pounds. I only need to determine two things, first, After he immigrated, there was no problem in family life, his sister’s school or work, mother’s arrangements, etc., don’t go wrong. Second, he would join the Millwall youth team, don’t be busy for a long time, and finally he ran away with others. “

Aldrich thought about it and finally made up his mind. He was a little bit “non-toxic, not husband” at this moment.

If he didn’t find Ronaldinho, he wouldn’t even find it. Why did he hesitate?

Even if it is a blood, it must be brought over.

Andrew stood up, staring at Aldridge with dignity, and asked, “Do you think clearly? This is an investment of two million pounds!”

Who wouldn’t be distressed if they were floated? !

Aldridge remained silent for a while, and finally gritted his teeth to focus on his head.

Andrew no longer speaks, picking up his phone and starting to work.

To operate such immigration, the Hall family is no different from sending money, but it is also guaranteed.

The money will not be given directly to Ronaldinho, but British pounds will be purchased for one million pounds, and cannot be exchanged and traded within a certain period.

The rest of the homes, work and the like are all in the UK, and the only one who really gets the other party is the good identity of the British account book and the whitewash, the arranged work and not too much bank savings.

But for Brazilians living in slums, it is a dream come true. Walking out of the slums and going directly to the international metropolis London is a step forward.

It takes half a year to complete the operation as quickly as possible. Aldrich is not in a hurry. Ronaldinho is only 15 years old. As long as he can get it, there will be a lot of time to become a talent in the future. He will not be ungrateful. If he does not sign a full-time contract with Millwall when he is an adult and transfers to other teams, then Aldridge is helpless.

From the end of May to the end of June, for a whole month, Aldridge rushed around and completed the summer signing with a thunderbolt. When the transfer window opened, Millwall officially announced a few In the transfer transaction, Villa’s family moved to London, and 14-year-old David Villa entered the Millwall Youth Echelon.

And in mid-July, after the FA’s hearing was held, the transfer of Shevchenko who had passed by also ended.

While other teams were still wandering around in the transfer market, Aldridge held an official press conference. While several new players appeared together, he also announced the end of the summer transfer.

Joe Cole, Ashley Cole, Joan Capdevila, David Villa, all four players have entered Millwall’s youth echelon. Six players.

Ivan Elgra, Danny Mills, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Andrea Pirlo, Andre Shevchenko.

In this way, the Millwall first team in the new season will have a total of 30 players.

The first team lineup is a little crowded, but Aldrich doesn’t think so. There are many players, such as Lampard, Ferdinand, Shevchenko, etc. who are under 20 years old. Having 20 appearances in a season is enough to exercise. No matter how much, it may not be beneficial.

At the Lion’s Cave Stadium, six rookies who joined the first team put on their new jerseys together and demonstrated some of their footwork skills. Among them, Pirlo and Shevchenko’s sense of ball received the attention of the reporters.

It was just a press conference. Aldridge didn’t want to make much noise. At the following press conference, he expressed that he was very satisfied with the transfer results this summer, but was questioned by reporters.

Not to mention the whole of England, just to say that London, Chelsea introduced European and world double football player Gullit, Arsenal brought Bergkamp from Italy.

Why did Millwall, who spent the most money last season, buy a bunch of little farts?

Even though, Lampard, Ferdinand, a player dug from the enemy youth team, can make some news, but Pirlo, Shevchenko, who watched them play before?

Not to mention Elgra from Spain and Mills from the relegation team Norwich.

“Weak recruitment?”

Aldridge pressed his arms across the table and faced the reporter’s question, he shook his head and smiled.

What did Gullit, the 33-year-old world footballer, buy? Open a nursing home?

At Bergkamp, ​​Aldridge wanted it too, but Arsenal smashed a record transfer fee of more than 7 million pounds.

Even if Millwall can afford the money, will Bergkamp come? Will there be the kind of effect that he happily packed his luggage when he heard that Arsenal invited him?

Faced with the reporters’ difficulties, Aldridge smiled strangely: “Last summer, I remember the Times’ evaluation of Millwall’s summer transfer: disaster! This summer, you can also write like this, It doesn’t matter. At this time next year, let’s discuss whether this summer’s transfer is a success or a failure.”

After talking, Aldridge smiled and got up and left.

The newly joined six players looked at Aldridge’s chic back, and they all showed a smile.

Such a leader is really personal.
