The Young Lion

Aldridge roughly understood what Barnett said earlier about important things.

Until the end of the dinner, everyone said that Aldridge didn't say much. No matter whether Barnett and Blaze tried or bluntly asked, he used a cautious tone to say that he would go home and think about it.

He knew his position in Barnett's heart, and once he opened his mouth, it would make Barnett make decisions quickly.

On the way back to the villa in the suburbs, Melanie yawned on her journey. She leaned back in her seat and turned to stare at Aldridge, who was thinking about driving.

"Your cousin wants to be promoted. What does this have to do with you? Even your eldest brother made a special trip. I think it's a big deal."

Aldrich stretched out a hand to squeeze her face and sighed: "It's not as simple as you think, things can't just look at the surface."

Melanie held his palm, put half of his face in his palm, closed his eyes comfortably, and thought, "Is it complicated?"

"That's right, my elder brother's idea is very simple, that is to make the Hall family become the top celebrity giants in the UK. This can't depend on riches, even if I received the knightly medal from the royal family two months ago. No matter what, Blitz is a member of our big family. The elder brother wants to support him in political development. In the short term, he may not see anything, but in the long run, my elder brother is really ambitious."

Melanie laughed: "Brights is still a mayor at the age of thirty. What can he do in the future by himself? By the way, show me your medal."

"Uh, it's in the apartment, let's change the sky."

The Knight Medal was awarded to him by the British royal family, commending his achievements in leading the English team in the Champions League. This kind of honor is not equal to the football score. It is not that Aldridge will be awarded the Champions League. It is the positive influence he has constantly created over the years and the influence it has brought to the British society. The team won the Champions League championship is just an opportunity.

Aldridge is still thinking about things while driving, whether it is a family or a consortium, but anyone with strong capital can't bypass the field of political connections. Barnett specially brought Blitz to Aldridge today. Because Blitz doesn’t want to be the mayor?

If it is, there is no difference from what Melanie said: make a big fuss.

To support a small councillor to climb up, the lower the level, the more money can be piled up, but at a certain level, money is only a basic guarantee.

Behind the ballot politics is the war of money. Those who have more campaign funds behind them can make more influence and get more votes.

What Barnett wants to invest in is politics. In addition, he specifically pointed out that Blitz is a little conservative MP. Obviously, the other party is considering whether to become the conservative party's behind-the-scenes sponsor.

In fact, Barnett’s choices are few, because the Labor Party has just come to power, it is when the spring breeze, when he ran to open relations with the Labor Party, even if it is a lot of money, but it is only icing on the cake, but now put the investment on the Conservative Party, then It’s different, it’s a matter of giving away from the snow, but the key to the problem is that no one can guarantee when the Labor Party will step down. If the Conservative Party has been suppressed for many years since then, Barnett’s financial support will be floated. Of course, there are measures to avoid risks. , European gaming companies will open the political campaign, as long as they put down some bets on their opponents, then no matter what the outcome, at least the loss will be minimized.

When Aldridge drove home, Melanie was asleep. He carefully took her back to the villa, and then the two bathed together before going to bed.

An idea lingered in his mind.

At midnight, he got out of bed, walked to the balcony and smoked a cigarette, and then took out the phone to call Barnett.

The eldest brother has fallen asleep, and after a long time before answering the phone, the voice is normal.

"It's so late, there must be something important, say it."

"If you want to support Blaze to make a difference in politics, go find someone."

"Who are you looking for? The big one on Downing Street?"

"No, if I remember correctly, he has orthodox royal lineage. I don't know how it is mixed up now, but you can bet on him. This man's name is Cameron."

"Cameron... is it a surname or a name? What about the full name?"

"I forgot."

"Aldrich, I don't understand. You can't even remember a person's name, but let me bet on him."

"In short, he should be a member of the Conservative Party. Well, I'm going to bed, good night."

Aldridge hung up the phone.

In the future, the British Prime Minister, he still remembers the name, but where is the goods now, how could he possibly know.

It is not difficult to find a person with orthodox royal lineage in Britain. Although the royal family has only a symbolic meaning, it is still a face. Therefore, the death of Princess Diana has also been accused of conspiracy theory as a black hand under the royal family.

Aldrich stands on the balcony and looks up at the stars, the stars are shining brightly, waiting for Cameron to come to power, which is a dozen years later, but investment politics is definitely a long-term investment. The longer the time, the stronger the alliance barriers. And before Cameron took down Downing Street, he will surely become the leader of the Conservative Party, and big figures like the party whip are all energetic. Under such circumstances, even if Blaze’s career cannot be smooth, as long as he himself If you do not make a mistake, you can sail smoothly.

Just as he dug up football superstars in advance, the development of the family business can also take shortcuts in this way.

Now that Cameron had been thought of, Aldridge took out his phone and sent a text message to Barnett.

Only two lines were written.

Germany, female, Merkel.

America, male, Obama.

...

Speaking of European and American leader-level politicians, Aldridge can only remember these three in the future. Cameron is because he is young, Merkel is because she is a woman. Needless to say, Obama is the leader of the US emperor. Who doesn't know the characters?

It's not that Aldridge didn't know Blair, Bush and other people, it's useless to know, and football is the same reason, everyone is well-known star, do you need to say?

After thinking about it, Aldridge returned to the bedroom, but Melanie woke up. She was sitting on the bed, and the half of the sling in the silk pajamas fell on the elbow. She stared helplessly at Aldridge and asked, "Do you not want me?" ?"

Aldridge made a standing start and smiled, "My answer is here."

After saying that, he took two steps and then fell directly to the bed. Melanie screamed on his back, and was then pressed by Aldridge.

...

The next day, the team was on vacation for half a day. Aldridge accompanied Melanie to go shopping in the early morning. In fact, neither of them was a shopaholic. Shopping is to relax and relax. There are many parks with beautiful scenery in London. When they are together, they often look like old men. Wife walked hand in hand in the park.

After lunch at noon, Melanie wanted to return to Liverpool to reunite with her family, while Aldridge had a job. The two had been tired of being in the airport waiting hall for a long time before they were reluctant to part.

On the way to the club by car, Aldridge received a strange call.

"Hello, Aldrich Hall, hello, which one?"

"Aldrich, how are you doing?"

He heard this voice and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Bobby Robson?"

"Yes."

"Oh, I've been doing well recently. I heard that you have gone to the Netherlands to teach again. Congratulations."

Bobby Robson returns to Eindhoven as a firefighter. Eindhoven’s summer player supermarket opens. Cenden, Koko and other generals are swept away by European powers. His life should not be easy, but the coach I have seen any big winds and waves, and should be able to live with it.

"Oh, I called you because I wanted to ask you something."

"Oh, you talk about it."

"Milwall is recruiting first-team coaches and assistant coaches, right?"

"Yes, two of my assistants left in the summer and there are vacancies in the coaching job."

"I recommend a person to you, I hope you can agree to use him, this person is a little young, but I think, in your style, this is not a problem."

A man appeared in Aldridge's head and smiled: "Is Mourinho? If he is willing to come to Millwall, he will go to work without an interview."

"Ah? Jose? No, he has a job in Barcelona. I'm not talking about him."

"what?"

Aldridge was confused.

Came to Millwall as a coach, Bobby Robson personally recommended, and said that this man is young.

Aldridge only thought of Mourinho.

Does the Magic Bird like to stay in Barcelona?

"Oh, what's the name of the person you recommend?"

"Vilas Boas. He used to be my assistant four years ago when he was 17 years old and 21 years old this year. He did not come to the Netherlands with me. His dream is to lead the team as a master. Coach, I think if he goes to study with you, it will be of great help to him in the future. Of course, he will definitely complete the work you have arranged for him. Don’t look at his youth. His understanding of football is far beyond Peers."

Aldridge remembered it now, his feelings were Boas.

Mourinho’s younger brothers were all coaches or assistants who initially followed Robson.

Looking at Boas in the eyes of more than ten years later, objectively speaking, it is remarkable.

Although he failed to prove himself in the mainstream leagues and first-tier teams, he is young. Considering his age, he can stand in the position of coach of the Premier League, and he is still an inexperienced player. Head coach, this is similar to Aldridge.

"Boas, um, I know, let him come and come to work as a first team coach. We have many young people here and the atmosphere is very good. At least he doesn't have to worry about the pressure caused by his age."

"Oh, okay, I will let him go to Millwall for a formal job search."

Aldridge then chatted with Robson again, then hung up, and soon he came to the club.

Without worrying about going to the training ground, he first went to the personnel department to ask for application information.

Millwall recruits talents, there are many people who come to recommend themselves, and even some of the coaches in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League also want to change jobs, but that will pass the information through the middleman, and will not send the cover letter to the door, otherwise if it is exposed Isn’t it right?

Aldridge went through the job resumes one by one and found Velas Boas inside.

In fact, Boaz's cover letter was delivered to the club the day before yesterday. After waiting for two days, there was no news, so he asked Robson to come forward.

He wanted to study at Millwall very much. What Aldridge didn't know was that Boas almost regarded him as an idol...

Yeah, the young coach who has never played football is almost a template with Boas. With the knowledge of football since childhood, Boas can become Robson’s assistant at the age of 17, but it’s not a pie in the sky. The accumulation of hard-earned football knowledge has helped him get such an opportunity.

Aldridge took out Boas’s resume and handed it to the staff. The person who replaced Tolope’s position chose Boas, withdrew the recruitment information, and responded to the results of other candidates.

He began to look at another stack of cover letters, the position of assistant coach, Benitez's departure also needs a successor.

Looking back page by page, Aldridge stopped suddenly, and he saw a familiar name, and it was no stranger to European football.

Klinsmann!
