The Young Lion

Dean Richards pointed at Ronaldo on the sidelines and roared at him. Ronaldo immediately bowed his head and ran into the backcourt to defend.

Messi and Aguero smirked under the heart: It's a mess!

Although the two of them also started to frequently break through with the ball, the pass should be passed. The reason for the excessive sticking of the ball was that the goal was not found. In addition to the goalkeeper, the Japanese junior team all ran back to halftime defense, which was quite good. The big space became narrow in an instant, and Millwall's midfielder Alonso and Jenas came to the frontcourt to organize or respond. Before the attack hit the dangerous area, it was necessary for the player to get out of the defense by personally getting rid of the defense. .

Ronaldo had spent a lot of time on the job, and playing it in a situation where it was already destined to be a massacre really meant to humiliate the other party.

Although Richards has not played for a few seasons in his career, after all, he is a defender. He deeply understands that Ronaldo continues to play like this. Maybe this game is nothing, but it will be very unfavorable for his future growth. If he encounters a green field The villain on the road, this is the rhythm of finding his own leg!

Ronaldo didn't dare to continue to play with fire, after all, he had been stunned by the ball.

He thinks it's ugly. The audience doesn't think so. Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously playing football with his opponent who is three or four years older than him. He dares to play like this, and his attitude is very strong. Even if it fails, the audience appreciates it.

Especially the sponsor representatives in another box of the stadium.

Andrew came to Tokyo earlier than Millwall, and he came to meet the sponsors.

Sponsors who have a cooperative relationship with Millwall are very much looking forward to Millwall's winning the Toyota Cup. Today's junior team and youth team's game also surprised Umbo. Just sponsoring Millwall's subordinate echelon, there was immediate publicity. Return.

The sponsor representative of NIKE and Andrew stood together and they whispered. When the sponsor representative asked each person, Andrew would give a brief introduction to that person's situation.

Villa, Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Aguero... Junior players who performed well in this game, NIKE seems to be interested in signing directly.

In fact, NIKE is more interested in the superstars of the Millwall first team, but because the team first cooperated with Puma, and Nedved and Larson are also more loyal to the sponsors, NIKE wants to dig and can’t dig. If it were really taken away, Millwall would be unhappy, because it would cause a series of negative effects on business cooperation.

Andrew is very friendly to the representatives of NIKE. Deeply in his heart, he hopes that in the near future, NIKE can become a sponsor of Millwall and replace Puma. After all, the ambitions exposed by the NIKE exhibition are terrifying in the industry. The NIKE can almost bring Ronaldo under the title of the 1998 World Cup, enough to reflect its strength and expansion ambitions.

In terms of capital strength, NIKE is the top in the industry, and spares no effort in publicity. The cooperation between the star and NIKE is definitely a win-win situation.

If it is a first-team star, Andrew will also consider it, but younger players, he has no worries.

NIKE intends to invest in advance, which has the meaning of spreading the net everywhere, especially according to Millwall's ability to make stars. As long as they invest five or six players now, one or two players can finally make it to the top stage and become a star. Compared, it is negligible.

Cristiano Ronaldo started to play well on the court, assisted Aguero to score a goal before the end of the game, and then the corner kick was scored by Barzali, Millwall Junior eventually washed the Japanese Junior Team 10:0.

Even Aldridge did not expect that Ronaldo, Messi, and Aguero played halftime and received a sponsorship contract from NIKE. Although they were paid tens of thousands of pounds, considering their age, this is enough Make them proud.

Alonso and Villa are also favored, but the contract will be carefully considered, Andrew did not have the conditions to promise NIKE in the first time, after all, Alonso and Villa, according to age, may be able to get to the front line within two years Team, and C Romessi Aguero's three boys still have a long way to go.

After the junior team's game, the youth team will play.

Rest half an hour in between.

The youth team brought by Millwall this time is not as "star dazzling" as the youth team.

The strikers are led by David Lamore, Joe Cole, and Drogba.

The midfielder sent young veterans De Rossi and Pedretti.

Metzelder and Ledley King guard the middle line on the back line, and Ashley Cole and Paul Ferreira will serve as the left and right gates.

There are also three young players on the weekday reserve team.

There is no way, like Bresiano, Cahill, these more capable U21 players, loaned away at the beginning of the season.

Seeing the start of Millwall’s youth team, Kawabuchi asked Audridge with some doubts: "Mr. Hall, the rules we have discussed before seem to be the echelon of U21?"

Aldridge knows what the other party is asking about, like De Rossi, Pedretti and others, who seem to be under 18 years old.

"We have not enough manpower, and some players in the 18-21 age group are on loan, so we put together such a lineup."

Kawabuchi Saburo said nothing more.

The U21 echelon of the Japanese youth team did not send the strongest lineup. The age of Nakata, who landed in Serie A, is at this stage, but he is already a national team. The Japanese football association cannot commit Nakata to return from Italy for a friendly match.

They mainly focus on learning and communication.

Even though the game just ended was too ugly to lose sight of, but Kawabuchi Saburo felt that game was very valuable. Of course, Aldridge felt the opposite. They came to give Japanese football insights.

It is not convincing to say how strong the national team can play, but the youth echelon of a club can play such wonderful football. The Japanese Football Association has seen it with its own eyes. It is not acceptable, not only is it convincing, but also has a lot to learn from. experience.

The youth team's game skills and tactics content is not as high as the youth team.

Although Millwall still took the lead early, Aldridge never laughed.

When Ramor sent the ball to Drogba in an over-the-top pass, the latter squeezed the opponent like a tank and then blasted the ball into the opponent's goal. This is the innate condition of the crush, which has little to do with the technical and tactical gold content. .

In response to this game, the Japanese youth team really picked strong and strong players to play, but his mother came across an unprecedented World of Warcraft Drogba, as if it was a real beast war.

Drogba only came to the team for half a year, and the technical roughness was unbearable, but he just could hold his position. The Japanese players couldn't push, they could hit with their bodies, good guy, Drogba didn't move, they flew out by themselves. .

Six minutes after the goal, there was a scene that caused Audridge to laugh.

There is a defender in Japan who wants to steal from Drogba before taking the ball from the back. Drogba realizes that he half-turned to protect the ball-holding space. The opponent rushed up from behind and stretched his leg, then half of his body hit Drogba's back. , Then he fell to the ground and rolled 180 degrees in the air...

The referee played Drogba foul.

Drogba opened his palm very innocently, and turned his head inexplicably to the Japanese player who fell to the ground and covered his hip.

The rush was too fierce. Drogba just moved his leg when he stretched his leg. He hit himself and was bounced. He also blamed his support foot for not standing firmly. It is estimated that he was eager to grab the ball.

This ball seems to have a low training value. The player lineup is temporarily pieced together. The tacit understanding is not enough. You can only rely on the ability of a single player to play the game. There are not many opportunities. It is a bit boring to play.

But Aldridge still found a bright spot in the game.

David Lamore, the former prodigy, was very active on the court. Perhaps he did not fall physically against the Japanese players. Not only did he pass a few excellent shots, but he also attacked with Joe Cole in the frontcourt. End-to-end play an efficient cooperation.

Before the end of the first half, it was Joe Cole who dunked the ball through the ribs and Ramor reversed the offside and then volleyed the goal. Aldrich applauded, Ramor’s running awareness, the game Reading ability is very good, as long as you can improve the physical confrontation, although it may not be able to play the main striker in Millwall, but the bench is certainly no problem.

Aldrich no longer cared about what Kawabuchi Saburo and the Japanese Football Association had to say about the game. He turned around and started a long exchange with Jenson.

The center of the conversation between the two is Ramall.

At the end of the game, the Millwall youth team defeated the Japanese youth team 3-1.

At dusk, the audience on the scene stood up and applauded the players on both sides.

In just four and a half hours, Japanese fans on the spot saw the gap between Japanese football and the top European teams.

Although this is not a match between the Japanese national team and the first team of Millwall, but the contest between the echelons can vaguely see the future.

The Japanese Football Association invited the Millwall coaching staff to dinner, and Kawabuchi Saburo had many questions about youth training and wanted to ask Audridge.

Although Aldridge was Chinese before crossing, but in the face of Kawabuchiro's invitation, Aldridge did not refuse. This is pure academic exchange.

It was almost nine o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel. Aldridge was standing alone on the balcony of the suite smoking with an ashtray.

The prosperous night view of Tokyo came into his eyes, and he was smoky in front of him, looking at the scene of neon flashing traffic, as if he could see through the world of flowers and papers, and the air seemed to show a fallen smell.

Somehow, he suddenly had a sad emotion lingering in his heart.

Leading Millwall all the way, he changed from an unknown soldier to a top-level marshal. At such a time, he hopes that someone around him and a partner can share with him, no need for a passionate carnival, even just standing beside him Watching him smoking, looking up at the night sky together, and enjoying the night view of the city will give him a special sense of satisfaction and happiness.

However, no, nothing, only the noise from the street intermittently came to my ears, and the location around me was empty.

He took out the phone and called Melanie.

Now Melanie is also in a stage of very chaotic career and life.

The Spice Girls group ended their global tour, Halivell withdrew, Victoria wanted to get married, and other members were also pregnant. It seems that this star group, which has become a household name in the British music scene just a few years after its debut, is on the verge of falling apart.

They don't know what the future will be, they are in a stage of joint discussion, but no matter what, the glory they can achieve has begun to discount.

Aldridge didn't know how Melanie was in contact with Aldridge for a month and a half.

After he called, no one answered and was hung up directly.

Twice in a row.

Aldridge put the phone down a minute later and received a text message from Melanie.

"Don't contact me again, I will not change my mind, I will raise the child myself, it has nothing to do with you!"

After reading the text message, Aldridge grabbed the ashtray and turned and fell into the room...
