The Young Lion

In the early hours of the morning, the community of the Millwall Club in East London, there were no people on the streets, and the dim light of the moonlight and street lights filled the scenery with soft scenery.

Aldrich had long fallen asleep in the apartment, lying on the side of the bed with a calm face, when the human sleepiness was the strongest, his mobile phone on the bed rang.

After being awakened by the mobile phone, Aldridge turned on the bedside lamp and took the phone to look at the caller ID. It was a caller saved in the phone book.

Kelly.

Aldridge pressed the answer button, then put the phone to his ear, closed his eyes and continued to lie in bed.

"Mr. Hall, I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour. I'm Kelly. I have something to talk to you. I'm just outside your house. I know you're awake. I saw the faint light in your bedroom... …"

Kelly said for a long time, and heard no one respond.

He was standing in front of Aldridge's house, and he was cautious about being seen.

Deliberately lowering his voice, he could not hear Aldridge’s speech. The silent “answer” made Kelly chill, so he hurriedly continued: “Mr. Hall, we had some misunderstandings before, we can completely eliminate the misunderstandings. , Mr. Wiseman, the chairman of the FA and I have always regarded you as a friend..."

Kelly has now confirmed Wiseman's speculation that the black hand is indeed Aldridge behind the scenes.

And the purpose of his coming is also very simple, Aldrich does not seek money, so as long as the misunderstanding is eliminated, Aldridge spends some money to buy the news back, although the operation is a bit troublesome, but it is not infeasible. The energy of London, it is normal to prepare a lawyer's contract within 20 minutes.

Kelly said dryly in front of Aldridge's house, but there was no sound coming from the receiver. He doubted whether his phone was broken.

Kelly's mood fell into the abyss when he saw the dawn of heaven from the time Audridge Ken answered the phone to ten minutes after it was connected.

Aldridge didn't say a word, which made Kelly more desperate than he said thousands of malicious complaints.

In desperation, Kelly invited Wiseman again, and at the same time he was complaining in his heart: when the **** is he, pretending to be uncle!

Yes, Wiseman asked Kelly to negotiate with Aldridge. To put it bluntly, he asked Kelly to plead, and he couldn't put it down.

Kelly didn't get things done, Wiseman sneaked in from outside the community, and he was also afraid of being hit by someone.

It was his turn to take Kelly's cell phone to talk to Aldridge.

When the chairman speaks differently, he is gentle, like a gentle elder. Let's talk about the good old days first, and then explain the previous "misunderstanding" lightly.

Aldridge’s response remained the same, saying nothing but listening.

Wiseman said that he didn't get any response for five or six minutes, and he was a little annoyed. He began to threaten Aldridge with words.

"Hall, even if you ruin my career, I still have a lot of friends in the FA. I have a lot of people. I'm out of luck. Don't think of a good life!"

Dududu......

When the sound of a disconnected phone came, Wiseman raised his legs to kick the door of Aldridge's house. Kelly saw him and stopped him immediately.

The two stayed here for too long. The patrolling security guard came from a distance, and Kelly immediately dragged the scolding Wiseman away from the other side.

In "escape", Kelly's heart was full of sorrow, no one can think of the dignified FA Football Club Chairman and the FA Football Club CEO actually want to run like a thief in the middle of the night...

Aldridge hung up the phone and opened the bedside drawer, which contained a Walkman. He put on the headphones and listened to the "Lullaby" to get to sleep again.

There is no way. The occupation he engaged in sometimes made him sleepless late at night, especially when he led the team to play in the middle of the week. It was already close to midnight to return home after the game. If the team won, he would be excited. If the team If he loses or is flat, he may be depressed. In short, he cannot fall asleep normally, and he needs to listen to "Lullaby" to adjust his physiological state.

After the two of Wiseman and Kelly fled the community where Millwall belonged, the two walked along the Thames and looked like a walk, but the heavy pace made them feel more like going to the execution ground.

When dawn dawned, the two ushered in a brand new day in pale chairs.

The general public began to usher in a new day of life. Most of the workers on Fleet Street stayed up all night. The wind leaked quickly, almost like a prairie trend. At three or four in the morning, almost all the media on Fleet Street got The most powerful headlines, and the communicators are all insiders who resell information.

They work overtime and some work, and some directly overthrow the content of the newspaper that has been prepared for the new day, and resume the system.

In the early morning of the morning, major newspapers on Fleet Street were on sale. Whether it was delivered to the door or a tabloid newspaper distributed free on the street, there was only one front-page title!

"The shocking scandal! FIFA Chairman Wiseman and CEO Kelly embezzled public funds to bribe the Welsh Football Association to obtain the 2006 World Cup bid and seek a high position for the two of them at FIFA!"

Reporters gathered outside the FA Headquarters building, and the inside of the FA has become a mess today.

Wiseman and Kelly did not show up, and the spokesperson did not respond positively. When the time passed, everyone was convinced that the FA had already accused the accusation.

The people are watching the lively mentality.

There has been a lot of news in English football recently. The Manchester United club's transaction was stranded after government intervention, and now there has been another FA Football scandal.

In fact, everyone's heart is not in the air. If Wiseman and Kay use the funds for the World Cup to bribe the Welsh Football Association to vote, this is an open secret and there is nothing to blame.

The bid for each World Cup is not just a fair and equitable vote before and after the stage. Countries that can host the World Cup have a series of canvassing actions behind their backs, some of them are hidden, and some passersby are known, Everyone defaults to this game rule.

But Wiseman and Kelly blamed the fact that the two used public funds to pave the way for their football political future, which could not be accepted by the public.

They want to go further to the FIFA for a key position, which is not a secret within the FA, and has received a lot of support. If there are English people in the FIFA holding a key position, this will definitely be good for England.

But the reality is that you can only do it with your eyes closed, you cannot say it.

The sensational news became the focus of the day, and even the media of other countries in London flocked to track the progress of the scandal.

Aldridge was disturbed for half an hour in the middle of the night, and it was a little late today.

In the morning, he ate breakfast at home, knocked on the door of the house in a buzzing manner, ran in and turned on the TV and switched to the BBC TV station. The reporter on the scene reported the progress of the incident outside the FA Building.

Yi Wen cheered and cheered, Aldridge's expression was as usual. After drinking the juice, he cleaned up the tableware and went to the gym.

His days are in order, and Millwall's training will not be affected.

No one would contact him anyway.

After the match between Millwall and Wimbledon, Aldridge had a firm idea: he did not want to have any intersection with Wiseman and Kelly.

But is it possible?

They are the chairman of the Football Association, and it can be said that it can directly affect Millwall's game. Even if Millwall's domestic competition wins a cup, it will definitely meet with the other party.

Either Aldridge left the coaching position and left the English football circle, or Wiseman and Kelly got out of the FA!

What choices should I make?

The chairman of the Football Association is not a saint, no matter whether it is work or life, there must be a handle. Consider the endless scandals in English football. Aldrich pleases Andrew. The matter is very simple. Find someone to stare at them 24/7, as long as they are wrong. , Then please ask for happiness.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, outside the FA Building, Wiseman arrived by car, accompanied by Kelly.

The two of them were surrounded by reporters when they got off the bus. Facing many acute problems, the two avoided talking and entered the FA Building with the help of security guards.

When the discussion in the FA's internal meeting was completed, it was time for the evening.

The FA held a press conference, and Wiseman personally announced on the spot: resign and blame!

The FA Football Club officially stepped down!

He can't step down, he stays in office for a day, and the scandal that has contacted him is how the FA still bid for the 2006 World Cup?

This is now the top priority for the FA.

Kelly also announced his departure at the same time, and the two highest power players within the FA have stepped down at the same time on the same day.

While walking out of the FA Building, Wiseman declined to interview and went home directly, while Kelly faced the bitter smiles of countless microphones and cameras: "Sometimes, a small mistake can cause the most painful consequences. "

The reporters on Fleet Street thought he was bribing the Welsh Football Association, but only the person concerned, who knew the insider, knew what he meant by the error.

That night, it was still a park where Audridge met Andrew a month ago.

In the golden autumn season, the vegetation is dying, stepping on the orange leaves, Aldridge wears a slim coat and gazes dreamily at the woods by the lake.

There were footsteps behind him, Aldridge recovered, and turned around. Andrew threw a cigarette at him, and the lighter flame flickered. The two met and lighted cigarettes at the same time, taking a sip and exhaling smoke.

"Next, do you have any ideas?"

Andrew asked playfully.

Aldridge shook his head: "No."

This is his truth.

Andrew said, "Then I am in the FA's activities, don't you object?"

Aldridge frowned: "There is no need to ask me."

"Isn't it necessary? Will you and I look at each other separately?"

Aldridge sighed and said, "Just do what you want, there are many things you don't need to show yourself, do things smarter."

"So I asked you, is this not smart enough?"

Aldridge looked at him helplessly, Andrew hugged his shoulders and the two began to walk out.

"Why haven't you seen a woman by your side recently?"

"Troubled."

"So what are you usually busy with?"

"The countries in the south and the north are wandering around and dealing with sponsors. The elder brother's career in the United States is booming. I have met many people.

"It's not bad. In your business, networking is more important than anything."

"How about you? Singer's girlfriend has concerts everywhere, isn't she lonely?"

"Now, I suddenly feel a little bit."

Aldridge and Andrew have nothing to say, and his true mood will not be hidden from each other.

Andrew asked curiously: "I thought you would say okay. Isn't that always the case?"

Aldridge looked up at the night sky and said with regret: "I don't know, I feel like my mind has changed. In the past, except for sleeping, I used to sleep in the toilet for 24 hours. In my head, I had football in my head. After the team won the league championship, the Champions League championship, I have no previous job. Busy and thoughtful. Sometimes I feel at home that something is missing at night. I have recently been showing signs of madness."

"Oh, go, I will take you to a fun place."

"This is fine, don't want to cause trouble."

Aldrich declined the invitation, bid farewell to Andrew outside the park, and drove home by himself.
