The Young Lion

Introducing young players, Millwall can buy out the player’s apprenticeship contract, and reach a compensation agreement with the opposing club to make up for his youth training investment. In this regard, Millwall is very generous, like 13-year-old Joe Ha Especially, how much did the club invest in him before? Another example is Ronaldo who had a transfer at a very young age. The cost of the national team was only dozens of sets of jersey shoes and other football equipment.

Hart, Johnson, Baines, and Millwall paid less than 4 million pounds in total buyout plus compensation.

To Rooney, things should have happened this way.

Rooney is talented, otherwise, will Millwall look at him?

But if Rooney can kick it out, there is a doubt. There are many geniuses before the age of 16, and there are few geniuses in the professional league.

Everton can refuse Millwall, and they will have to take a certain risk. If Rooney hits his hand, does it mean that he has money and has not earned it?

But compared to the old clubs of players like Hart, Baines and others, they have little money and fame. Everton's record after a large investment in the past few years is not ideal. Now the business situation is getting worse, but it is also a club of the Premier League.

Now taking advantage of the momentum of public opinion, Everton is a bit suspected of taking advantage of the fire.

They face two questions.

First, will Rooney still sign Everton at the age of 16?

Second, did Rooney still have the value of signing when he was 16 years old?

So the club decided to get Rooney off as soon as possible.

But there is a knock on Millwall.

Aldridge's vision for recruitment in the past few years is needless to say.

Manchester United, Arsenal and Leeds United also came to join in the excitement and participate in price increases. They also began to lure Rooney in private, but after all, unlike Andrew's guarantee, Rooney himself is very determined and wants to go to Millwall to make big money in the future.

By this time, Millwall had no retreat.

If you quit, you will be condemned by public opinion, and it seems to tell the outside world in a different direction: We will not buy real players except for those dirty means.

Knowing that Everton was extorting and passing on risk, Millwall had to jump into the pit.

Aldridge quickly cut through the mess and directly bought out the Rooney contract, while paying £5 million in compensation to Everton. This is not a Rooney transfer fee, but under the rendering of Fleet Street, the most sensational transfer in England was born. .

Millwall bought a player who probably did not belong to him for 5 million pounds!

Because Rooney just came to Millwall for training from Everton, £5 million compensates Everton’s training fees for Rooney in the past few years. After a year and a half, if Rooney does not sign a professional contract with Millwall, he can accept Any other club invitation, and Millwall will not get a penny!

Aldridge is using 5 million to make up for the club's image. Rather than being accused of robber behavior by the public, he would rather be laughed at by people in the football circle for having more money.

Knowing that he would be ridiculed, Aldridge also began to avoid the media, did not return home after get off work, and ran to accompany Andrew, both of whom were hiding reporters.

At the same time, another transfer from Millwall began to replace Rooney's troubles.

Millwall will introduce Chinese club Qingdao Zhongneng's 19-year-old rookie Qu Bo!

New news replaces old news, but the status quo ridiculed by the British football community will not change.

Most ball critics think that Aldridge is crazy and Millwall is crazy.

Bring in players from China?

Ha ha ha...

Millwall is a regular operation and offers a quotation to Qingdao Zhongneng. The rest of the work is for the sponsor to go around. In terms of transfer fees, Millwall only paid 1 million pounds. This has been replaced by RMB. It has exceeded 12 million. It is definitely Sky-high price! But if the other party's lion opens his mouth, I'm sorry, either the sponsor will come out, or, go!

Even the Chinese Football Association is involved. Anyway, it is very strange to get involved in Chinese football. At least the European Football Association, such an organization as the Football Association, rarely come forward to participate in the club transfer unless there is a dispute or violation of the regulations. Yes, because of their power, they have no position to blend.

Aldridge once had a phone call with Qu Bo himself. He told the other party bluntly: "Your current strength cannot enter the Millwall first team, the bench cannot be played, and because of the labor certificate, neither do you. May be trained in Millwall and participate in the reserve team. If you transfer to Millwall, the ownership is in our club, but you cannot work in the UK, so you will be loaned to our partner club, Belgium, where , I have a friend I trust to cultivate you, I will follow your growth, and wait for you to meet the national team's number of appearances in the future, when you can get a labor certificate, we will talk about whether you can return to Millwall, my suggestion Yes, if you have ambitions and dreams, then you are too late to start. Many non-European players are 16 years old and 17 years old alone in Europe. You are now 19 years old. If you do not come to Europe to practice, your talents will be abandoned. I can listen to your questions at any time. There are no obstacles for you to communicate with me, but you must learn to integrate into the collective."

If the second- and third-rate clubs in Europe are fond of Chinese players, they may be blackmailed by Chinese clubs. The grandeur said: It is more conducive to his growth to stay in a familiar environment.

But Millwall, a world-class strong team that has been listed as "Europe's public enemy", sent an invitation. If the Chinese club can still refrain and hinder the transfer of players, the slogans of Chinese fans may drown them.

Everything depends on the opinion of the player himself.

Qu Bo's transfer was settled a month later, his ownership was in Millwall, and he also symbolically came to Millwall for a press conference, and then he went directly to Belgium to join the loan. St. Turden, coached by Tolope of the Old Ministry of Delic, where there are a lot of Millwall players, some of whom are unknown, but there are also Essien who have been mixed for two years. In the first division of the Belgian First Division, Essien is also here to gain a foothold and shine.

Aldridge looked at his broker company in South America without doing anything in Andrew's company.

Speaking of business in South America, Andrew was very excited.

"Aldrich, I finally realized your mood! Selling players is really a profitable business."

Talking about the pleasure and accomplishment of doing business, Andrew actually prefers South American business.

The European side is bright and beautiful, and the work is decent, but the money you earn is really a real investment in work, how much work you do, and how much you earn.

In South America, it is more like speculation, profiteering!

His partner with South America can buy out the ownership of the player directly through the agent company, the cost is outrageously low, and then once the player is famous, the agent company recommends to come to Europe, the transfer fee is paid directly to their company, sometimes Need to give a small part to the team, but the big heads are in their pockets, the money is made easy and it seems like the wind is blowing, after all, they don’t have to participate in the specific affairs of training players themselves, like the club Work for them the same.

"Grass, you can't feel my mood, you just make money, some people want to buy my players, I still don't want to sell it. Players who let go of the previous years, if the players are willing to stay, I would rather not make that money , Sold, but lost."

Aldridge looked at the data and refuted Andrew mercilessly.

Andrew's eyes rolled, and he no longer irritated Aldridge with a smile.

Like Shevchenko, now Millwall can't talk about how much he earned on him. After all, Shevchenko's worth is still rising.

Aldridge’s movements suddenly stopped, and a player’s profile was drawn and handed to Andrew, saying, “What’s the situation with him?”

There are some marks on the material that Aldridge can't understand.

Andrew looked down and was a 17-year-old Brazilian player. He said indifferently: "Prove that he was abandoned by the club and worthless."

"It's worthless? Then you do me a favor. Your company signed him and arranged a club for him in Brazil. When he was 18, Millwall introduced him."

Andrew re-examined the information, looked at the player's avatar and name, and raised an eyebrow: "Will he be valuable?"

"Who knows, maybe I just retaliated against you and kept you busy."

Aldridge whistle to make a mystery, and then continue to look at the information.

Andrew chuckled, walked to the side and picked up the phone to call the South American company.

Let the other side contact the young boy named Tiago Silva with no ball to play according to the information on the document.

On August 3, Millwall officially held a press conference. Tomorrow, Millwall will usher in a big day for the club's milestone: the opening of the Lion King Stadium!

AC Milan, invited to unveil the friendly match, has arrived in London to prepare for the match.

Aldrich first announced at the press conference that Millwall’s transfer market door was closed, and no one would leave or come.

This year's transfer signing may be criticized in the future.

Aldridge can foresee, but not at ease.

For example, when he gave up the introduction of Adriano, when the opponent was red and bright, Millwall would be laughed at and missed an emperor superstar.

In the future, Rooney's troubles may be accompanied by Rooney's entire career. Everything that happened today will definitely be mentioned repeatedly in the future.

Millwall's negotiations with Real Madrid, missed Casillas and so on.

This is normal. Clubs that have become the focus of the football world will always have this kind of story.

Millwall is now the focal point and the "number one public enemy" in UEFA. Everything around them is the talk of the football world.

In the evening of August 4,

The brightly lit Lion King Stadium was fully occupied when the fans were ushered in for the first time.

A historic year and a historic moment, Millwall fans will not miss it, otherwise it will be regrettable.

In a friendly match, Aldridge did not put pressure on the team. He left the locker room early before the game and gave the players a lot of time.

Brand-new wardrobes, modern facilities, and many players stunned in front of their wardrobes when they first came here, gazing at their name tags on the wardrobe for a long time.

There are also games like Ronaldinho and Schneider who jumped into the spa pool to restore physical fitness and relieve fatigue before kicking the game, like a child who is not growing up in a water fight...

Instead of walking into the stadium, Aldridge in suit and leather went to the VIP box.

On the way, he met AC Milan's manager Galliani.

He smiled and shook hands with Aldridge, congratulations on the unveiling of Millwall's new stadium.

The opening ceremony of the stadium was attended by the Mayor of London. The club also invited popular bands to perform on site. Now that the performance has come to an end, the staff is clearing the stadium to prepare for the two teams to enter the game.

Aldrich chatted with Galliani in the corridor for a long time. From the perspective of European giants, Millwall’s relationship with AC Milan is good, or it should be the best relationship. In Italy, the contrast is the biggest. It was Juventus, and the relationship between the two clubs fell to a freezing point.
