The Young Lion

Staying at the parents’ house can relieve Aldridge’s unhappiness and anxiety to the greatest extent. I don’t know why, maybe I just feel the joy of seeing Arthur’s big belly poop. This old guy is getting fatter and fatter. It really looks like a meat ball, especially watching him show his kindness and play with his grandson, a lively comedy.

Aldrich is really hungry. He can’t eat the food, but he doesn’t pretend to be slow. He will pay attention to table manners when he is entertaining. At home, he doesn’t have to hide or disguise anything.

Amelia looked pleased and saw that Aldridge’s steak was about to be eaten, and immediately brought another dish. Of the three sons, the other two sons often did not go home, and Barnett’s deliberate integration Arthur and Amelia don’t like high-end styles that create aristocratic temperament. In the counts, only Aldridge has no pretentious attitude, which is very popular with her parents.

Just after lunch, Aldridge accompanied his two sons to sit on the living room sofa and watch cartoons. He also ate and needed a break.

Yiwen drove, and she followed up the police investigation at the police station throughout the morning. The key stage of the lost property tracking is 24 hours after the incident, or even shorter, otherwise the clues will become more slim, and even if it is recovered, It is difficult to guarantee intact.

"Huh, there is no news over there."

After Yi Wen sat down, he exhausted and frustrated and made a conclusion. As for the inside story, it would only make Odric worry.

Aldridge took her hand and said casually: "Don't care, if you lose, you will lose it."

Ewen turned her head, she was more upset and depressed than Aldridge.

This afternoon, Aldridge didn’t go anywhere. He had been with his two sons, watching cartoons, coaxing them to take a nap, waiting for them to wake up, and playing football together on the grass in the back garden.

Some friends called to greet, and Aldridge had to cope with it again. When it was time for dinner, Arthur called Aldridge out. Next to the pool outside his home, Arthur whispered in a stretched face. A few days ago, I received a call from a friend."

"Um, then?"

Aldridge thought something was wrong. Arthur's expression made him think the conversation would be serious.

However, Arthur smiled: "Old friend, Ritzdale called."

Aldridge realized that Arthur was pretending to be acting, maybe he was honing his acting skills.

"What does he want? Leeds United should have no money to introduce players?"

"Hey, yes, he called to make Millwall easy."

"What is accommodation? The original contract terms?"

"Ok."

Aldridge cheered up and asked, "How did you answer?"

At the beginning, Leeds United bought a player from Millwall, and all have a 30% revenue share clause for the next sale. In recent years, Leeds United has sold about 6 players. The transfer income of those players is not too much. High, but also brought Millwall about 7 million in secondary income. Now, Leeds United may sell heavyweight stars, such as Ferdinand.

Although Arthur is nominally the chairman and does not participate in the management of the team, if he makes a promise to the chairman of other clubs, there is a question of integrity. Others will not control how you assign power and management within Millwall Yes, the chairman is the chairman, and the chairman’s words must have certain credibility.

Arthur shook his head and seemed very happy, saying, "I told him the truth."

"Ah? Truth? You tell him you don't care about this?"

Aldrich thought about it, which was also a way of rejection.

Arthur smiled and shook his head: "Not that, I told him that I never liked him, I never liked Leeds United, Leeds United was so arrogant a few years ago, I remember what he said, even a champion No, he started to provoke Millwall, what kind of green onion is he? I also told him that you were so majestic, did you think about today? Hahaha, is Leeds United going bankrupt? Is it going to be destroyed? Thanks, tell I am so good news, I will open a bottle of good wine to celebrate, I will go to Leeds United to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone, congratulations, Ritzdale, Leeds United fans, generations to remember you, great Chairman!"

Aldridge was stunned, looking at Arthur who was really enjoying the destruction of Leeds United. He thought: "This should be his true character, right?"

How can street hooligans make peace with you?

How can you help when you need it?

Sorry, I will only kick your face again when you prostrate and raise your head under my feet to reveal the pleading color!

Aldridge said after a moment of silence: "He just rushed for a quicker success."

"No, no, son, you don’t have to defend him, you don’t have to say good things to him, I won’t listen to it, I won’t understand it. How many fans does Leeds have? Do you know? How many fans are Leeds from generation to generation? United as a beloved? How many families' lives have been **** with Leeds United. The good of Leeds United and the bad of Leeds United are affecting their lives. Ritzdale destroyed the hearts of countless fans! He can Leaving, he can forget all this after a few years, but who will heal the heartache of the fans? What will happen to Leeds United? I don’t know, but Andrew tells me that if a club goes bankrupt and winds up, it may face Death. Let me say that Ritzdale is a Class A war criminal at Leeds United!"

At this point, Arthur seemed very excited, and Aldrich understood the meaning.

In fact, "death" in Arthur's mouth does not mean that the club will disappear. Complete bankruptcy is very rare in the football circle. It is almost impossible because the football club is similar to the enterprise, but it is completely equivalent to the enterprise. Behind the football club, there is a powerful football league. Existence, and after liquidation and bankruptcy, new managers will intervene. On the one hand, it is to split the debt, on the other hand, it is to change the face and let the club survive again. Whether the team can play the game is the calculation of the football league, this is the football circle. The last bastion of the club, the external forces simply cannot be shaken.

However, Arthur's "death" belongs to the perspective of fans. Just like Lance in France around 92, they are actually two completely different teams. After the bankruptcy, they reorganized. The new Lance just inherited the name and honor of the former. Aside from this, the team has no connection with the past.

If, if Aldridge sold Millwall to Abu, in the minds of the majority of local fans, Millwall is also equivalent to "death", because a traditional English club has become a Russian private Thing.

This is like the feeling that the son-in-law of the surname started to be the master. It has epoch-making significance, but it is not a result acceptable to local fans. Therefore, as the Premier League club is continuously invaded by foreign capital, the fight between fans and foreign bosses has become more intense. There are people who can accept, but there are also people who can't.

What's more, once the team went to bankruptcy, the club's turbulence was unimaginable. The team would be completely unrecognizable in a very short period of time. It can be said that "once returned to before liberation", Arthur said inaccurately, this should not be " "Death", but "rebirth", but rebirth does not mean that it is positive, the new life will have a new father, the new road may be covered with thorns and bumps.

After dinner, Aldridge accompanied his son to play video games, but the housekeeper suddenly came to him and said, "Aldrich, someone will come to send you a courier."

Aldridge put down the gamepad and wondered: "Strange."

He followed the housekeeper out of the door and saw that under two steps, a young man in casual clothes was holding a cardboard box. He looked about 18 years old and came on a bicycle. The bicycle fell to the ground beside him He, holding the cardboard box with his head down, didn't seem to dare to look up at Aldridge.

"My courier?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

Aldrich turned to the housekeeper and said, "Close the door."

The gate he said refers to the gate in the courtyard outside, as the housekeeper did.

The young man who sent the courier suddenly raised his head and panicked: "Sir, I still have something. Please sign for the courier."

Aldridge came down the stairs and came to him, and found his hand seemed to be shaking.

Aldrich asked, "Do you have any dangerous objects? For example, a knife."

"No, no!"

"Then you must have no guns?"

"Of course not! Sir, please sign for express delivery."

The young man took a step back and lowered his head again, holding up the cardboard box in his hand, and the action was like giving a treasure.

"Do I need a courier fee?"

"No need to!"

"Oh, what's in this box?"

"I do not know."

"You know, if you don't answer within 10 seconds, I call the police."

The young man raised his head in amazement and saw Aldridge with a cold expression in his eyes. He lowered his head again and said aloud: "Mr. Hall, I'm sorry, I don't know where your home is, but your belongings. , You want to call the police, I do not resist, I cannot return the cash and valuables, I can return it to you, only the things in this box."

Aldrich said: "You still haven't answered my question."

"There are medals that belong to you, and there are many."

"What's your name?"

"Jamie, Jamie Brown."

"How old?"

"19 years old."

"Occupation?"

"I work in a restaurant."

"London?"

"Ok."

"Talk to me over there."

Aldrich pointed in the direction of the artificial fountain. The young man followed the Aldridge with a cardboard box and came to the stone steps beside the fountain to sit down.

Aldrich lit a cigarette and opened the cardboard box, which contained a delicate large box. He reached out and opened it gently. There were more than 20 medals displayed in it, almost untouched, except for the two in the first row.

Jamie found that Aldridge did not call the police, and he was still uneasy, but he thought that since he came, he thought that there would be a great risk of going to prison, so he summoned the courage and asked: "Mr. Hall, how did you find me? Isn’t it a courier?"

Aldrich turned his head and looked at him lightly: "First, I have no planned express delivery. Second, you are not wearing work clothes. Third, time. Fourth, there is no regular express delivery document on your box. Fifth, you shouldn’t say it was a courier for me. This is not my residential address. Sixth... Finally, the trick of a fake courier. I used it countless times more than ten years ago."

Jamie dumbfounded, Aldridge lost his cigarette butt, and said, "Thank you for giving me the thing back. I don’t want to call the police to ruin your life. You may not have estimated the value of the stolen items in my house. That’s enough to keep you in prison. Spend a dark life that transforms you qualitatively from belief, spirit, mentality, and physical aspects. However, I want to know, why would you risk me being caught and return things to me? And, still in such a stupid way. "

Jamie looked down and whispered: "Because, I am a Millwall fan, my father is, my grandfather, and..."
