The Young Lion

The club’s recruitment is still in progress. Aldrich has paid attention to many young players through the Andrew agency’s scouting network. This database is very large in Andrew’s company, and for others, even if you get these The data is not particularly useful, because there are too many players, and one by one can not be investigated, but Aldridge has the bottom of his mind after reading the information.

Early in the morning, the weather was a little sultry. Aldrich and Ewen jogged in the park. After the jog, the two rested on the fence beside the Thames. Ewen handed her handkerchief she had just wiped sweat to. Aldridge hesitated, but still took it, wiping the sweat on his face naturally.

Before switching, he didn't hesitate at all, but after some things were clear, he felt weird.

Even if the two play together this summer, it seems that there is nothing embarrassing about going out and going in and out, since they are too familiar.

"The club runs a lap in Asia, does it affect the new season?"

Yiwen asked with some concern.

Aldridge breathed a sigh of relief, saying: "No way, commercial development sometimes requires the team to make some sacrifices, not taking advantage of the Champions League's momentum to gain popularity, and rescheduling in the future may not be the best. effect."

If we simply consider the competitive factors, Aldridge does not support the team’s preparations for the summer in Asia. The time difference between the teams and the players’ distractions in commercial activities are all negative factors for the new season. However, from The club's long-term departure, expanding business channels and the club's international influence, this is the only way, and the timing is also very rare. The team has just won the Champions League, a new era of rapid development of media communication, this time to open up the market, it is to catch up The best time for giants to get popular.

Yi Wenchao smiled and said to him: "Do I need to accompany you?"

Aldridge said without looking back: "No, I heard that my popularity is not low in Asia."

The Millwall Club quickly launched its Asian tour in late July. The Shinco European Championship will play five friendly matches in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Guangzhou, and Singapore, with an average stay of two days in each place, although Millwall is in A lot of main players have been lost in the summer, but there are players such as Larson, Nedved, etc., plus the not-so-popular new-generation football idol Aldridge, when Millwall arrived at Tokyo Airport, Detonating the enthusiasm of the whole city, the sight of the tens of thousands of people all scared the European players who have not been to Asia: they think the Japanese are crazy!

Although the friendly match is the second in the first match, Millwall has a strong strength, especially their technical and physical advantages. In five consecutive friendly matches, they have won five consecutive victories without being able to play. Aldridge Following the old habit, the team replaced 11 players in the second half, and took the opportunity to inspect the player status.

The Asian tour is actually about making money. On the one hand, it promotes the club to attract fans, on the other hand, it directly reaches cooperation agreements with sponsors.

However, some sponsors really made Audridge feel speechless.

Big companies in Japan and South Korea hope to help Millwall sponsor their players to land in the Premier League, and they will pay for both transfer fees and salaries, as long as the players can wear Millwall shirts.

In the face of such a proposal, Aldridge directly refused without hesitation. Although Millwall will increase his income and there is an unplanned idler on the team, he will smash the signboard and also make Millwall attacked. Become a slave to money.

It was already early August when I returned to London. The new season Premier League will kick off on August 14th, and Millwall does not have to participate in the community shield competition, just waiting for the league to start.

In the office, Aldridge checked the progress of the team’s recruitment.

The club’s working team brought Viana from Portugal and three from France. In addition to Le Talay belonging to the category of Chong Yongyong, the other two will be loud in the future, the first is Warcraft Drogba, 20-year-old Drogba differs from other stars early in the show, but he is not a late master. Before the age of 20, he has been in a state of "playing around" until he was 20 years old. Realizing that he had to make a living by playing football, when Millwall’s team sent him an invitation and proposed a contract, he readily agreed, because he tried in many big clubs in France, and the results were rejected. .

The other is 17-year-old Patrice Evra.

From the German amateur team, Millwall brought back 18-year-old defender Christopher Metzelder and 17-year-old midfielder Hano Balic.

Two Spanish players returned to their homeland in the summer, and Millwall brought back a younger player from Spain, 17-year-old Joaquin Sanchez Rodriguez.

Aldridge intends to go to the youth team for a lap, picking a few substitutes to enter the first team, but he just walked out of the office door, but saw Good Johnson standing in the door with a hesitant look.

"Something?"

Aldrich asked curiously. During his trip to Asia, Goodjohnson was very worried. Aldrich did not care. He was not the kind of person who had to ask everything.

GoodJohnson nodded heavily, and seemed to have made great determination.

Aldridge turned around and walked back to the office. After GoodJohnson sat down, Aldridge also went back to his desk and waited for the other to express his intentions.

"Boss, in the new season, I will be a substitute, right?"

He heard such a question, Aldridge sighed. In fact, he hoped that these players did not have any thoughts, just like a puppet.

He nodded and said: "Yes, although I don't want to say that, you are not the number one choice in the offensive four, but you have the potential, at least you have to have a tacit understanding with your teammates, then you have You need to be patient when you compete for the main position."

GoodJohnson said after a moment of silence: "But I think more games will keep me improving."

Aldridge was in deep contemplation, and the shortcomings of the team's young lineup were also reflected.

Young bench players can't see hope!

At least Good Johnson has no advantage in competing with Larson, Ronaldinho, and Fanny. Even if his personal ability is reached, tacit understanding is also a problem.

These main players are young again. How long will it take him to get ahead?

This is where Barak left.

Aldridge was also free and easy and asked softly, "Are you determined?"

Good Johnson nodded.

"Okay, I agree to your transfer. The club will list you. Good luck in the future."

Aldridge stood up and formally shook hands with each other. GoodJohnson held Aldrich’s right hand with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Boss, although I have only stayed here for a year, I am very grateful to you for my help."

Aldridge smiled and shook his head.

Grateful, grateful, grateful, he is grateful to many players, but this is not what he wants most...

On the contrary, if the opponent can stay, Aldridge will be grateful to the other side, just like Glenn Charles, he can listen to the advice of Aldridge. He has a stable playing opportunity every season and will play hard once he plays.

The night of pushing Goodjohnson into the market, Aldridge got another bad news.

Millwall’s work team asked the Red Star Belgrade to buy Vidic, the young player of the opponent. The club agreed to let it go, but the player refused.

The other party must not have obtained a labor certificate, and Aldridge cannot apply for a genius clause for a defender. If the FA passes, then the backdoor will be too open.

The plan proposed by Millwall is to introduce the other party, and then lease it to Belgium. After three years, Vidic obtains the EU passport and returns to Millwall.

But Vidic did not accept this arrangement.

Aldridge didn't lose much in his heart. If he missed it, he missed it. In the future, if there is still a chance to win the opponent.

The next day, when Aldridge appeared on the side of the training ground of the youth team, the atmosphere of the entire training ground changed, and the young players trained as if they had played hard.

Najib said to Audridge: "It's better to come as a part-time youth team coach."

Aldridge had a big roster in mind for the new season.

Now he doesn't need to pile up too many players to enter the first team, because the main active age is up, the rotation does not need to be too frequent, and he can insist on playing more games than two years ago three years ago.

Basically, it is enough to ensure that there are rotation players in each position. Unless there is a large-scale injury or stoppage, a large list of 23-24 people is enough for a season.

Aldrich turned his head and said to Najib: "Call Ashley."

Najib turned to the assistant who was not far away, and Ashley Cole, who was returning from the field with his teammates, was called alone.

When coming to Aldrich, Ashley Cole smiled excitedly.

"Why are you laughing?"

Aldrich felt strange.

Ashley Cole said, "Boss, did you ask me to go to the first team?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Because the first team is missing."

Aldrich pouted, Capdevila’s transfer undoubtedly made Ashley Cole happy, the same thing is not uncommon in the club, Trezeguet and Shevchenko transfer, who is the most happy? Fanny!

"In the new season, you will enter the first team roster and train with the first team. If you can't enter the game roster, go to the reserve team. Don't be too happy."

Ashley Cole nodded quickly when he heard the words. He turned his head and concealed a face at Joe Cole and David Villa, seeming to show off.

Joe Cole and Villa both pointed at his **** at the same time.

Grass, if it were not for our young age, we would have gone to the first team!

Aldridge then called Paul Ferreira to the front, and also informed the opponent to enter the first team in the new season.

He does not plan to transfer the central defender from the youth team, because the central defender needs strong physical qualities. The outstanding young players of the central defenders under the age of 18 must go through a tempering process, and the first team Mills attacks the weak and defends the strong. Let him play as a substitute for Schneider, the offensive power will be greatly reduced, it is no problem to make him a guest central defender when needed, plus there is also a millionaire Neal can also play the central defender, after Elgra leaves, the central defender position There will be no shortage of people.

Aldridge was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, Ferreira and Cole were talking, they were already excited at the moment, and the other players were staring at them with envy, jealousy and hate, and also looking forward to Aldridge Call yourself.

Aldridge is calculating. The midfielder is not in the midfield position. There are still four players. Gattuso and Lampard play off the bench. There is no need to add extras. Does Nedved need to be replaced?

If the Czech Ironman does not rotate, he can really stick to it.

Aldridge finally shook his head. Forget it. Ronaldinho could also play in that position. Occasionally changed his tactics, and he didn't need to set a front waist when rotating.

Good Johnson, who was originally on the front line, is going to go. There are a lot of clubs buying him. The key is how he chooses, and he will definitely go.

Aldridge suddenly looked up and asked Najib: "How is that Ramor?"

What happened when the former Liverpool prodigy came to Millwall for a year?
