The Young Lion

Galliani glanced down at the note, the content was relatively simple.

R: 1500

B: 1350

M: 1200

L: 1000

J: 1000

Unit: ten thousand pounds.

With the wisdom of Galliani, he understood what the English letters meant in less than two seconds.

These are all quotes from the giant club!

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Liverpool, Juventus.

Aldridge went on to say: "This is an offer from some clubs to Shevchenko last summer."

Real Madrid is a rich and handsome man, as long as they are famous geniuses, they all want it, and the price is not low.

Barcelona left the aliens last summer and wanted to take one from Larsson and Shevchenko to replace Ronaldo's position, but none of them succeeded.

Manchester United and Liverpool also threw olive branches at Shevchenko.

Serie A champion Juventus and Lippi also want Shevchenko. Last summer, Vieri went to Madrid, Bocic joined the Blue Eagles Lazio, Padovano has passed 30 and other factors, but Juventus Sis was not particularly enthusiastic and eventually Inzaghi was introduced.

"Last summer, Shevchenko only proved himself in the Premier League, but now, his performance in the UEFA Champions League group stage is more convincing. Sir, AC Milan is rich, but not the best one, if I want to Selling Shevchenko at a high price, I will not come here to meet you, the reason why I did not meet with the representatives of other clubs, there is only one reason, AC Milan is Shevchenko’s childhood dream, he longed for San Siro, I hope he can realize his dream, but please do not trample on his passion for AC Milan."

Galliani took a long breath after listening to Aldridge's remarks.

Things seem a lot simpler.

In the past, he must be more sure, because the players want to join AC Milan, this is very important in the post-Bosman rule era.

But in the face of Aldrich, Galliani felt that things were tricky.

It's hard to negotiate the price!

Bargaining to death is like really trampling the player's enthusiasm.

But if the record transfer fee really comes out, it seems to be worthless, and the boss on the head is not easy to explain.

"Mr. Hall, to be fair, what do you think Shevchenko is worth?"

Aldridge shrugged: "At least not less than 25 million pounds, Real Madrid opened 15 million pounds last summer. With Real Madrid's plight in La Liga today, if I sit with them at the negotiating table, they should not be stingy. Plus, not to mention Shevchenko’s performance over the past six months, it really increased his worth a lot."

Galliani smiled and shook his head: "25 million pounds? Maybe Real Madrid can get it, but Milan is definitely not good."

Aldridge sighed: "What you are going to take away is the future Mr. Golden Ball, and a forward who has dedicated at least 20 goals to the team each season. How many goals have AC Milan scored in the league this half? Does the team add up to 20 balls?"

Galliani's face became ugly, he said depressed: "Mr. Hall, if you come here today to laugh at Milan and want me to retreat, then you are really not kind."

Aldrich pressed his hand to signal that the other side was restless, and said softly: "So, how much can AC Milan make?"

"12 million pounds."

"20000000."

"13 million."

"The gap is too great for us to reach a consensus."

"A bargain, 16 million pounds!"

Aldridge rubbed his temples for a long time, then said: "I am a person who likes to make friends. If you open 16 million pounds, then I must add a clause to the contract."

"What terms?"

"30% of the next transfer."

"impossible!"

"Well, you do me a favor, and then add two million pounds, 18 million pounds, we made this deal."

Galliani thinks right and wrong, 18 million pounds, this is almost a gamble, but Milan has fallen for two seasons, it really needs to inject fresh blood, and it can play a cardiotonic effect.

He asked in a deep voice, "What do you need me to do?"

Aldridge's lips turned up and said, "We talk while eating."

After dinner arrived, Audridge and Galliani whispered to discuss "help".

After dinner ended, Galliani looked sad and said, "I can't give a promise."

"As long as you do help me, in the summer, my commitment still counts, huh, happily."

"Cooperation, pleasure, and quickness."

Galliani flew back to Milan that night and continued his transfer operation for Milan to make up the pot.

Aldridge couldn't sit back.

Shevchenko's departure is a complete one. Aldrich only hopes that in the second half of the season, Ukrainian nuclear warheads will be able to do what they want, for Millwall to fight **** multiple fronts!

Another player in the club decided to leave in the winter.

Martin O'Neill also invited Audridge to dinner.

Aldrich has a lot of invitations throughout the year, some are gatherings of celebrities, some are personal friends, he always takes some time to decline certain invitations.

O'Neill didn't want to wait until summer to buy Tony.

He was afraid that Tony's outstanding performance in Leicester City would make Tony the goal of other big clubs.

Tony still has a real heart in mind. Martin O'Neill reuses him. He also wants to work for Martin O'Neill. So, after ending the half-season loan and returning to the club, Tony asked Aldridge to discuss his future plans. The second half During the season, he did not want to go to Leicester City on loan, but moved permanently. At least, his salary would increase.

In the dinner negotiation with O'Neill, Odridge agreed to Tony's transfer, and the transfer fee was not incurred, as long as 3.5 million pounds.

Before the FA Cup roared, Aldridge handled some invitations at the club. Most of them were charity dinner events. Those organizers who did not know him wanted to let him attend, and they would send them to the club.

After processing these invitations, Aldridge looked again at the appointment form brought by the club staff.

Throughout the year, he often has to deal with the player’s agent at work, and not all Millwall players are under Andrew’s ownership. Therefore, to talk to the agent, you must make an appointment first so that both parties have a preparation. process.

However, he saw a name on the appointment schedule that is now unfamiliar with the English football coaching circle, but very familiar in the future.

David Moyes.

After seeing his name, Aldridge made a special call to the assistant to ask the other party for information. After confirming that this Moyes was indeed the Moyes he knew in his previous life, Aldridge asked the assistant to see his purpose. .

"He said he wanted to rent players."

"Oh? Where does he work?"

"Preston Club."

"Preston? Isn't that exactly our opponent for the FA Cup tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"What position is he in Preston? When studying Preston's data, the other coach is not him."

"Oh, he is the acting coach now. The coach had just finished class three days ago."

"Oh, it's interesting. I canceled my appointment. I talked to him directly after the game."

"Ok."

Preston is now in the third league, the English League.

In the FA Cup, they were out of luck and they reached Millwall while still being a guest.

When researching opponents, Aldridge will not understand the low-level opponents too deeply, generally understand the opponent’s play, threaten the players, and have advantages and disadvantages. After all, the club’s intelligence collectors don’t have so much time. Spend energy on low-level teams.

The next day.

Aldridge met Moyes at the Lion’s Cave Stadium. The opponent stood in front of the visiting team’s coach in a sportswear. He looked dignified and commanded the game. However, due to the limitations of Preston’s players, he did not play much. Room.

The entire game, Aldridge did not move in the seat, did not enter the locker room at halftime, let Benitez go, because the team in the first half lead 3:0.

This kind of vegetable abuse game, the three groups of GoodJohnson, Duff, and Van der Mead have played well.

And an important factor is that Preston's morale is low. They are now ranked in the relegation zone of the British Second Division, so the former coach was fired and Moyes was promoted from assistant coach to acting coach.

This man's ability is still good. At least before he coached Everton, Manchester United sent him an invitation as a teaching assistant, but at that time Moyes also wanted to be independent, so he refused Ferguson's invitation.

As for the later story with Manchester United, er, Moyes is a bit of a tragedy, even daring to take the legendary class, this porcelain work, even with diamonds, may not be able to do well.

At the end of the game, Aldridge stood up and walked to shake hands with each other, feeling a little embarrassed, and met Moyes for the first time, giving each other five eggs.

Moyes did not have much disappointment, Preston lost 5 Millwall away, and the outside world is estimated to feel normal.

Arsenal have also been beaten 5 here.

"Mr. Hall, hello."

Moyes now has a sense of humility in his body. It is estimated that when he takes up his position halfway, he is still an agent.

Aldridge smiled after holding the opponent's hand: "Go to my office and talk about it, and talk about the loan of players."

There was a smile on Moyes' face. He was really afraid of the young man who was so domineering. He could not see Preston Club and did not want to lend players to them.

After coming to Aldrich's office, Moyes looked at the layout curiously. It was very simple. The decoration was only four photo frames nailed on the wall. Inside is the family portrait before the Millwall season every year starting from the summer of 94 photo.

Moyes looked at the players inside with emotion.

It's like going back in time to see the family portrait in 1994. At that time, who would think how great are the players Larson, Trezeguet, Nedved?

Aldridge poured two glasses of wine and took a glass to Moyes. The opponent took it and sighed: "Mr. Hall, your ability to develop players is really admirable."

"It has little to do with me. The players are talented and hardworking and obedient."

"Oh, there is no need to be arrogant, saying that maybe you don't like to listen. In fact, Millwall has a lot of players. It doesn't seem to have any talent, but now they have become powerful players."

"That's how we understand talents differently. If talents only refer to players' skills, professional football is no different from fancy football."

Moyes was silent for a moment after hearing the words, and then said in earnest: "Mr. Hall, I would like to loan a few players from Millwall on behalf of Preston. The loan period to the end of the season, the guarantee I can make is, as long as the loan is I will treat the players who come to Preston equally and give them the opportunity to exercise as much as possible. Originally, I hope these players help the team out of the plight, but due to financial difficulties, the loan fee and the salary of the loan period, we are unable to bear."

Aldridge touched his chin and nodded: "Although I have recently studied the Preston team, after all, you are now the coach, so, forgive me, I need to delay you for some time, you must Tell me a few points, first, who do you want to loan, second, how to use this player after the loan, and third, the minimum number of appearances for the loaned player."

Moyes was shocked, reached out and asked, "Then we will sit down and talk in detail."

"it is good!"
