The Young Lion

Thursday night, Black Hotel London.

This is a very expensive five-star hotel in the city of London. In the VIP suites of the hotel, four men and two women sit in front of a round table.

A card game is in progress, with chips, fine wine and snacks in front of the six.

Aldridge was sitting Ewen on the left hand, and also a beautiful and elegant beauty on the right hand, a senior executive of British Airways, Ms. Alina.

The other players at the same table were Carter from Standard Chartered Bank, Fitz from Fathom Insurance, and Rudis from Ladbrokes.

The six people at this table, except for Yiwen, have cooperation with Millwall.

Millwall went to war everywhere and has long become a British Airways VIP.

Standard Chartered Bank is now the sponsor of the Millwall jersey chest advertising.

When the club signs a contract, an insurance company is required to intervene, and France Insurance also lists Millwall as a key customer.

Ladbrokes Gaming Company is one of the sponsors of stadium advertising.

Aldridge's leisure activities have increased significantly. In addition to the beer nights fixed at the club, he will also participate in poker nights like today, and there will be a reading meeting organized by Ms. Rowling.

If he wants to lead a team to play in the middle of the week, he basically has activities every night of the week.

This is just to keep myself from worrying about staying at home.

He has a good luck tonight, and the stack of chips in front of him is obviously more than others.

Rudis had a very bad hand, and he folds directly. He picked up his glass and looked at Aldridge. He asked softly: "I received news that Ronaldinho has a lot of giants to buy, and the offer price is not low, Mill. Will Wall take the risk to keep him?"

If young players receive an expensive offer if they are less than 20 years old, the club's choice of selling or not is debatable.

If it is sold, a lot of transfer fee income is very realistic.

If you don’t sell, you have to take risks. There are many talented players who end up hurting Zhongyong. If you don’t sell at a high price, it will be a loss and it will drag the team’s record.

Aldridge withdrew the card, threw some chips to the front, turned his head and smiled: "What are the odds that Ladbrokes Ronaldinho's transfer? I can bet five million pounds to bet him not to transfer Yes, do you accept it?"

Rudiston was speechless and others laughed.

At the end of the game, Aldridge turned into a confrontation with the beautiful woman Alina. Alina smiled lightly, pushed all the chips in front of her, and said to Aldrich: "Should you Will it disappoint?"

Aldridge looked at his watch and said, "It's not too early, then it's over."

He pushed the chips and did not play the mystery. He directly showed the bottom card. Elena also lifted the bottom card. Compared with the board, Aldridge lost.

Elena chuckled, "Thank you."

Aldridge raised his eyebrows: "It is estimated that this is related to my recent luck. I always thought it was a good start, but the ending was very bleak. God likes to give people a reverse drama."

After finishing the game, Yiwen put on a white coat and waited outside the door for Aldridge. After greeting other people, Carter stayed at the end to talk to Aldridge.

"Three months after the start of the new season, Millwall's momentum is good, especially because many newcomers on the team are on the top, which has focused on European football. Now the first team of Millwall is estimated to be worth more than 200 million pounds. People are curious about you. How many future superstars are still hidden?"

Carter's words left Aldridge puzzled.

Millwall and Standard Chartered Bank are commercial partners, not to mention any exchanges in the field of football. Carter told him what is the use of these?

How much is Millwall's first team worth?

In Larson alone, Nedved combined for more than 50 million pounds.

Aldridge looked at Carter in confusion, and the other party continued: "Now the outside world is not only concerned about the Millwall first team, but also very interested in your reserve team and youth team. After all, these subordinate echelons are also very amazing."

Aldridge shrugged, and the other was right.

Millwall’s reserve team won the reserve league championship for two consecutive years. The league started three months this year and also left the back team far away, like Vicente, the injured Henry, Pedretti and others. All are playing in the reserve team, the record is guaranteed.

The youth team has dominated the youth league for many years in a row. In addition to missing the youth FA Cup championship the previous year, the youth FA cup has been included in other years, plus the youth teams from various European teams since last season. It also achieved a decent record, and the youth team received unpredictable attention from the outside world.

Many European giants also want to steal Millwall's youth team players, but the youth team players don't have much to leave, unless the giants personally promised to give the opportunity, but this point, the giants can't give it.

The middle and lower reaches of the team can dig up young players, which can give the main force, but the young team players can’t look down on them. They want to stay in Millwall first to see how the competition is. If it doesn't work, then transfer to other teams to develop.

Now the voice that haunts the most over the Millwall youth team is: XX player is Nedved II, Larson’s successor, the next Pirlo...

"Can you tell me what you said? But what exactly do you want to say?"

Carter faced Aldridge's question and whispered: "There are my friends over Umbro. They want to test your response through me."

"Umbro? They want to cooperate? But we just signed a new contract with Puma in the summer for two years. If we want to cooperate, we will talk about it after a year and a half.

"No, not the first team. They want to sponsor the reserve team and the youth team. Even Millwall has all echelons except the first team!

Aldridge was lost in thought after hearing this.

The reserve team and the youth team have sponsors, which are rare in football around the world, and there is no precedent in mainstream European leagues.

But in the future, Manchester United's reserve team sponsorship contract is higher than the sponsorship income of many mid- and downstream clubs!

It is also the first club in Europe that allows the reserve team to generate huge income.

Aldrich didn't think about it for a long time and was able to generate income without any hesitation.

"Very good, as long as the price is right, Millwall welcomes one more partner, but before that, we must first say hello to Puma and see what they mean, if they are to the reserve team, the youth team If you are not interested in sponsorship, then we can talk to other sponsors."

Carter nodded when he heard the words. He admired Aldridge most in his career: the other party respected its partners.

There is no such thing as profit-making.

On the way home by car, Yiwen sat sideways in the co-pilot's seat and stared quietly at Aldridge.

Of course she knew about Melanie’s pregnancy. Others sent Aldridge blessings and even a lot of gifts, but she did not respond.

"Talk?"

Yiwen broke the silence.

Aldridge drove the car, knew what the other party wanted to talk, and said lightly: "I don't want to talk."

Family members, friends, colleagues, and many people gave him advice, relieve him, comfort him, he seems to have become a victim of life, full of grievances, this is not the image he should have, he also disgusted himself in the eyes of others Became a helpless person.

No need for anyone's comfort and advice. This is the thing for him and Melanie. If you can talk together, you can talk together.

"Why don't you give me a chance?"

"Especially now, I don't want to talk about this matter."

Aldridge turned on the radio and listened to the radio.

Drive to the door of the apartment, get off Ewen, Aldridge parked the car in the garage, and then went home to rest.

Just finished the European War in midweek, and in the weekend league, Millwall went to Derbyshire. The guest game was a bit ugly. This season, Derbyshire’s image of a weak traveler has been ranked in the middle and upper reaches from the beginning of the season, which is impressive. Fighting Millwall, they have strong fighting spirit, Millwall is a little concentrated in the game, trying to control the game but being counter-attacked by the opponent after a continuous counterattack, less than 30 minutes after the opening two goals behind, Derby County will lead after two goals Start to die, and strive to put 3 points in the bag.

This choice was wrong. As soon as they contracted, Millwall’s inherent disadvantage of continuous combat was reduced, and he could control the rhythm calmly. In addition to the game time, the strong temperament accumulated by Millwall began to play a role. In control of the game, he scored two goals in the second half of the 56th and 77th minutes to equalize the score. When the score came to a draw, Derbyshire rushed wildly and rushed. Millwall's final counterattack penetrated the opponent's defense line. Unfortunately, Van der Med 'S single-handed ball kicked off and eventually shook hands with his opponent.

Aldrich’s work has been really busy recently. In addition to the team’s training and games, he held secret meetings with sponsors, club seniors and other people. The content of the discussions in the same period last year was roughly the same.

Golden Globe.

Millwall rallied Larson last season, and this year there was little discussion of differences, and the first choice must be Nedved.

Larsson’s annual goals have declined, and he has been injured from the beginning of the new season. The other main members who helped Millwall win the European Championship last season, especially the offensive players, Trezeguet and Shevchenko Already leaving the team, Millwall wants to fully pack the Golden Globe competitor.

With 98 years as the time period, Nedved's club data crowns all European midfielders!

In all the competitions he participated in, as of November, he has scored 27 goals and 20 assists. Especially in the first half of the year, Millwall scored a key goal in the European War. Wall is the number one hero on top of Europe.

His valuation has exceeded 20 million pounds. This is a comprehensive assessment, not an actual transfer value. If other clubs will sell players like Nedved, they will at least ask for more than 30 million pounds. The sky-high price, and Millwall's label on Nedved from beginning to end is not for sale!

Similar to the operation in the same period last year, Millwall began to propagate through traditional and emerging media networks, highlighting Nedved’s annual performance, and then let the ball critics talk about Nedved’s performance and contributions. De Verde became the focus of Europe.

In the thirteenth round of the Premier League, Millwall ushered in the powerful Leicester City at home, and he once again had a direct dialogue with Martin O'Neill's team.

This game makes Audridge feel very painful, because after Martin O'Neill has Tony + GoodJohnson, the tactics of playing the strong team is simpler.

7 player defense + 3 player attack.

Leicester City has performed well for two consecutive years, which has attracted the attention of the midstream and downstream teams, so Martin O’Neal began to have a headache when playing a weak team, but he played the strong team, but he was more calm and his team was unable to attack. The counterattack is blunt.

After 90 minutes, the two teams drew 1:1.

Aldrich really began to miss Pirlo, who was in the midfield and dispatched the spectacle...
