The Young Lion

June 2001.

Suwon, South Korea.

Before the French team participated in the Confederations Cup, Henry was interviewed, and European journalists were generally concerned about an issue.

"Tieri, Real Madrid is willing to pay you a transfer fee of 45 million pounds. Are you considering playing in the Bernabeu in the past?"

Henry smiled and said, "Thanks to Real Madrid for favoring me, but I haven't thought about moving to Millwall."

"But you have won everything at Millwall."

"Since I can win everything at Millwall, why go to Real Madrid?"

...

Japan, Yokohama.

When the Brazilian national team arrived here, Ronaldinho, who was out of the player's tunnel, wore a pair of stylish sunglasses and his long hair was tied behind his head.

"Ronaldinho! Ronaldinho!"

Countless Japanese fans screamed wildly, while reporters in the front row kept taking pictures or shouting at him with a microphone.

"Ronaldinho, are you going to play in Spain? Both Barcelona and Real Madrid are willing to pay you a transfer fee of more than 40 million pounds!"

Ronald Ronald, who was walking forward with his teammates, heard the reporter's question and turned to walk over there, almost causing a fan riot. As he approached, more than ten microphones passed to him.

"If there is a newspaper or TV report that I will transfer to Millwall, no matter where I go, it must be a lie."

...

The Confederations Cup is in full swing, Aldridge is already on vacation in Australia, lying on the deck of the cruise ship to sunbathe, the fatigue after a season is relieved, and even sleeping in the soft sunlight in the afternoon seems to be a luxury, which is extremely extreme Longing and easy to satisfy.

Arthur, Amelia, and Puskas are also playing on the cruise ship, and it seems like they are in a paradise.

One day in mid-June, Aldridge's cruise ship stopped near the equator. He slowly applied sunscreen on the back of Ewen's back on the deck with his palms. He enjoyed the job very much. The warm and smooth touch was wonderful It's a desire to rise. If it weren't for the cruise ship or anyone else, he was really here to be prostituted by daylight.

"Dad, phone."

Earl and Burt ran barefoot from the cabin to the front with bare feet, handed the phone to Audridge, and then the two children ran to the boat to watch the sea fish, buckled their **** and put on one Shayi, smiled at Aldridge: "I looked at them, don't go into the sea and be taken away by fish."

Aldridge laughed, and took a photo of her **** while turning around on her sloppy buttocks, Yiwen turned around, and stepped on him with a small jade foot, then turned and ran away.

Aldrich lay down and asked the phone: "Hello, which one?"

"I haven't been in touch for a long time, Aldridge."

"Oh, it's been a long time, Raphael. I thought our next conversation should be on the field. You took your team to challenge me."

Rafael, Benitez!

Aldridge didn't blush at all, and Benitez didn't feel anything wrong.

Challenge Aldridge?

This is what all the top clubs in Europe are doing.

"I became the head coach of Valencia, do you know?"

"Now I know. Congratulations."

"Then you give me a gift?"

"Send you a comb?"

"...Vincent and Joaquin, they have no place to return to Millwall, sell it to Valencia."

"Is it my gift, or are you pitting me?"

"I'm actually just a lobbyist, who the club wants to buy, I can't decide, Millwall can't sell, I can't decide either, but Valencia executives want me to come forward and see me and your former official face, let the transfer It can be completed successfully."

Aldridge looked at the endless blue sky and white clouds. Think about it too. What right can Benitez have in Valencia?

"I can't give you an answer. I will consider and respect the player's personal choice."

"Well, so be it, I know you are on vacation and will not bother you."

Aldridge hung up and called Adam and asked him to follow up on Vicente and Joaquin.

The Vicente and Joaquin, who rented Valencia last season, can't be said to shine, but it shows the hopeful future of the Star of Hope, and it has emerged among the younger generation of Spain.

A year later, at the end of the season, both of them stayed in the motherland, which is also normal. After all, they must return to Spain on vacation.

But what Adam learned was bad for Millwall.

Huajin's attitude is relatively firm.

If Millwall cannot give him the main position next season, he will apply for a transfer to leave.

Vicente expressed the request to leave more gently.

Valencia may not be able to retain Mendieta. There are many opportunities for higher ranks. Moreover, Millwall has a lot of talents. Although they are still not the main force in Valencia, they also see the hope of competition, but In Millwall's main framework, there is less and less space for young people to survive.

Aldrich didn't keep the two players after learning the latest situation.

Perhaps they are left behind, but they delay their future unless they agree to continue to be rented out.

Before the transfer window opened in the summer, Millwall's first sale was the sale of Vicente and Joaquin to Valencia, with a transfer fee of 17.5 million pounds, plus 3 million floating terms.

Substitute goalkeeper Keller announced the termination of the contract with the club on June 1, which is not a sale.

The following day, Aldridge remotely commanded club transfers during his vacation.

In summer, a signing has been put on the agenda.

Kaka's transfer!

"Boss, the FA needs us to show the Brazilian boy applying for a labor certificate, but he did not perform particularly well in Brazil."

Kaka’s transfer operation, transfer fee, and player’s personal wishes are no longer a problem. The only difficulty is the labor certificate.

Millwall is bound to initiate special genius clauses. There is only one quota for a season, and at the same time, he must come up with convincing evidence that the introduced players have the qualities of genius.

Now Millwall is on the cusp of the storm. Unlike when she introduced Shevchenko in the past, it had little influence. Aldrich Togerson could get things done with help.

"Materials? You just use the technical performance in his training as materials."

Aldrich’s words made Adam don’t know what to do.

Take training videos casually, not even a formal game, will the FA pass?

But since Aldridge said so, Adam could only do so.

Today, Aldridge does not go to others to help, and he can’t really prove that Kaka is a genius. He just said with a mouth: He is a genius! The Premier League refused his arrival, it is the loss of the Premier League!

It is true that what he said is true and false, and it will prove to be right or wrong in the future.

Anyway, when he spoke, he had a certain influence on public opinion.

But to do this, it is really impossible to rely solely on Aldridge's mouth to say that the FA has to clear up the relationship internally and find Andrew to come forward to work around. This is the point.

Before the summer transfer window opened on July 1st, something that made Aldridge depressed.

Almost everyone who rented out last season did not want to come back!

Carrick, Mex, Hengrande, Squillage, Crouch, Defoe, Viana, McFadden, Evra.

A total of 9 people expressed their desire to transfer to the club through the agent, and basically all had a preliminary agreement with the leased club.

The key depends on whether Millwall can let people go.

Drogba's loan performance last season was average. In addition to the turmoil of beating his teammates last season, he returned to Millwall in points and no one was interested.

Lampard and Ashley Cole also returned to the club, but if they can't make it in the new season, they still have to consider continuing to lend them. After all, next year is the World Cup, and there must be league support.

Of the nine players, Aldridge did not want to let go only Carrick and Evra.

But thinking about it, Carrick is too competitive in this position. Pirlo will definitely not go next season. Lampard and Alonso are all in front of Carrick, and the age gap is not big. It seems that there will be no use in the future.

Evra's situation is about the same, Zambrotta, Ashley Cole is ahead of him.

As for the 9 people who will choose to leave, the situation is similar.

It is hopeless to start in Millwall, can play the main role in other places, and the salary income can also be improved a lot. After all, Millwall can’t even squeeze in the first team, and can get a lot of money in other top league clubs. Contracts.

Millwall's youth training has been brilliant in these years. These 9 players are labelled Millwall youth training. As long as they have a firm foothold in the loan club, they will immediately attract attention and are expected to become the next star. Therefore, other clubs first Strive to be strong, seduce these players before the big red and big purple, trying to pick a big bargain.

Aldridge hesitated for a while, and finally let the club transfer department whisper with these buying clubs.

Didn't arrive in July, Millwall left 11 people after transferring!

The departure of these nine players brought Millwall £46.5 million in revenue, with floating terms totalling £8 million.

One by one transfer official announced that the transaction will be completed only after the transfer window opens.

Fleet Street has been accustomed to the miraculous ability of Millwall to transfer people to make money over the years, but now Millwall sellers have sold to an exaggerated point.

Of the 11 players sold, only Vicente and Joaquin have a record in the first team at Millwall. The others are only loaned out for one or two seasons, some of them are amazing, some are average, but in fact, Did not reach a height that meets the value.

But because of the effect of Millwall's youth training sign, these players are sold at a high price.

In total, Millwall brought back 64 million pounds of income, and more than 10 million pounds of floating terms.

When they leave, no one will feel sorry for Millwall. It is not that Millwall has not retained genius, but that these players may not have any chance to get ahead in Millwall for at least three years!

Under this brutal rule of competition, they are the result of competition eliminated from the Millwall team.

But it is such a batch of Millwall's elimination products that brought back such a generous return, reflecting Millwall's extremely high requirements for the player's ability from the side.

As the transfer window opened, a player from Millwall's first team called Aldridge and offered to transfer.
