The Young Lion

In the second half of 1986, the three boys of the Hall family marched on their respective ideal paths.

Barnett left East London to study finance courses in West London, and plans to formally enter the financial market next year.

Andrew discovers that Aldridge delves into the video of the football game every day, and when inquired, he learns that Aldridge wants to be a coach in the future, so he also wants to develop in this direction, but Aldridge advises him to become an emerging professional talent :broker.

This is Aldrich’s thoughtful thinking. He wants to use his advantages as much as possible. In the future, countless stars and superstars of the time are still half-big children, and with the great progress of world football ten years later The benefits that player agents can obtain are simply incalculable.

When Andrew was attracted by the beautiful blueprint described by Aldridge, he began to study the law seriously, to become a lawyer, this is a condition for becoming a broker.

Andrew often fantasizes that the unachievable football superstars are his clients, but just being able to get in touch with them at close range is like dreaming.

And Aldridge is studying football tactics every day. As the birthplace of modern football, although England is famous for its rough play in the contemporary era, overall, English football has an indelible contribution to the world football process, even if half The trend-setting WM tactical change of Arsenal, the arsenal before the century, is not there.

When Aldridge really started to put himself into a coach's perspective and began to study the video of the game, he found that his former audience's perspective was very undesirable, especially when watching the game in front of the TV. Most of the time, only one of the football games was seen. The small part, even though it is a wonderful part, can't cover the overall nature of the whole game.

In Sander’s video store, he was able to turn a wonderful game over and over for a week or more. He wrote and wrote on the book himself. He wanted to position each offensive and defensive players, move players, track football, etc. Wait for thorough thinking.

With the passage of time, Aldridge's views on the football game have improved qualitatively. In his eyes, there is no chance for every goal conceded, and every goal is difficult to get along with luck. After thinking that he has stood Outside the gate of the football coach.

Since Aldridge worked part-time in Sand’s shop, the gangsters in the community did not make trouble in the shop. Sand saw Aldrich obsessed with football game videos, so he always looked for more game videos to bring to him when he received the goods. , Especially the video of other European league games.

Winter came to spring, and after 87 years, Aldridge lived in step by step. Big brother Barnett tried to integrate into this cannibalistic game on the London Stock Exchange, and he was not eager to invest his capital.

Aldrich didn't know financial investment in his previous life, but he was a good student, but he highlighted the famous "Black Monday" in his textbooks.

The time of the outbreak was October 87.

This is a rare opportunity for the Hall family.

Aldridge will also go to the Lion’s Cave Stadium to watch the wild lion Millwall game on weekdays, but he is always disappointed and returns, and repeatedly feels very rejected by the actions of the Millwall fan group.

If Millwall will play against West Ham United, then the rogue fan group will become crazy within half an hour after receiving the news. What is the result of the game is not important at all. On the contrary, the off-court war starts from before the game starts. It continued after the game.

The Heather tragedy in the 1980s was only a sign of the English football hooliganism. The football hooliganism that was suppressed by the domestic media and the government and subdued by the country is almost endless. Millwall and West Ham United are the representatives of this. Sex team.

Aldridge wants to focus on the court, but England football has a tendency to go backwards, which is understandable. The English clubs that are banned from participating in the three European Cups are in a rhythm that is derailed from Europe, not to mention the second-level league. The technical content is not high, and the tactics are also lacking. It is the most intuitive visual sense to hold up the long pass and hold the ball with the brutal movement and strong force.

Under such circumstances, Aldridge's game against Millwall seemed to be disappointing, although there was a rising star in the team: Sheringham.

In all fairness, Millwall was promoted from the second division to the second division last season, and completed the relegation task last season. This season, let alone hit the top league, at least have a firm footing. The team is in an ascending period. Derridge felt dull about Millwall's game.

He attributed such emotions to the games that were used to high levels of tactics in the past, and naturally he had no enthusiasm for rough and barbaric games. It was the sea that was difficult for the water, on the other hand, it was also a factor of watching the environment. Among Millwall fans, there is not even one minute to enjoy the game quietly, and the ears are always filled with fans' words of cursing and slamming.

Soon, the 86/87 second division came to an end. Millwall performed slightly better than last season, but has not jumped into the top league three times in a row like the mad Wimbledon. However, Sheringham will be next season. After finishing the loan and returning to the team, the team's performance will be greatly improved.

In a year, Aldridge has accumulated a lot of knowledge about football tactics. In addition to his own research, he reads books, but he implicitly feels that he needs more systematic and professional training, so he has the idea of ​​studying football coaches. .

It was not until the end of 1987 that Aldrich realized this idea.

The day after the arrival of Black Monday in October, Barnett returned home late at night, trembling with excitement and telling everyone in the family: Fortune!

The decades of economic prosperity after World War II finally reached its culmination. The European and American economies went into recession after Black Monday...

Barnett used borrowing and financial market leverage operations. Although he didn’t have much capital, he also earned hundreds of thousands of pounds. Then he took advantage of the low price and absorbed many stocks that Aldridge believes will have outstanding performance in the future. Funded, officially suspended, and entered the professional system of football coach training.

Every year in the competition, Aldridge will use his memory to make a lot of money, 88 years, 90 years, 92 years...

Since coming to this era in the summer of 1986 and becoming the youngest son of the Hall family, eight years have passed.

On May 20, 1994, Aldridge flew from Zurich back to London. He went to take part in a teaching speech course organized by FIFA. When he took a taxi to East London, he looked at the street backwards. Jun Lang Si Wen's face is full of trance.

In recent years, he has traveled all over Europe. He travels to various places to study, which not only adds to his experience, but also gives him the most intuitive feeling for different styles of football in Europe.

The taxi stopped in front of the villa on the outskirts of London. Aldrich paid the fare and tip. With the help of the taxi driver, he took out his two large suitcases from the trunk.

Then, Aldridge looked at the manor-style villa with an extremely large area, filled with infinite emotion.

Today, he can be regarded as Gao Fushuai.

The growth of the Hall family's wealth is like a rocket. When the European economy is in recession, Aldridge suggests that his brother should shift his investment focus to emerging Asian markets. Before the Asian financial turmoil swept through, the Asian economy was the only one to make a fortune. selected.

It is conservatively estimated that Barnett’s total wealth now exceeds 200 million pounds, and it is still an upward trend. Not only is it well-known in London, but it has also established friendly cooperative relations with many business families in North America.

The door in front of the villa was open. Aldrich walked in with two large suitcases. There were several luxury cars parked on both sides of the wide road. Aldrich did not care. He bypassed the fountain in front of the door and arrived at the door. Before he put down his luggage and knocked on the door, there was no response. Aldridge pressed the door handle and pushed the door straight in.

"boom."

He had just opened the door, and there was a flower in front of him. Mother Amelia sounded a firework firecracker. Countless colored bars fell from the sky and fell on Aldrich's flowing blonde hair.

"Son, happy birthday!"

Amelia stepped forward to hug Audric and kissed him on the forehead.

Aldridge smiled afterwards and saw a crowd of people in the hall on the first floor, in front of him was the costumed Amelia and the father Arthur who had been in good health in recent years.

After letting go of his mother, Aldridge stepped forward to hug his father. He smiled and said, "Your stomach is too scary."

Arthur smiled silently while holding a cigar.

Aldrich turned his head to look at the pair of men and women standing next to him. The elder brother Barnett and the sister-in-law Lia both looked like Lang Cai and women.

Barnett embarked on an affectionate embrace with Aldridge and smiled in his ear: "Birthday gift, I put it in your study, be sure you like it."

To the two younger brothers, Barnett is simply being spoiled by his father.

Aldridge smiled and did not care, and then turned his head to look at Andrew, who is also in his early twenties, the two did not hug, Aldridge directly grabbed the glass from the other hand, and the two brothers laughed. Without saying anything.

There were many guests in the lobby, most of whom were acquaintances who lived in the neighborhood and lived in the neighborhood, and there were also many old classmates and colleagues of two brothers and parents.

These people, except for a very few Aldridge, have impressions, but most of them are unknown.

The guests who came here were also curious. The youngest son of the Hall family was away all the year round, and he did not come back several times throughout the year. I heard that this young man was learning to be a football coach outside.

Aldrich’s return happened to be his birthday. He didn’t mind hosting a party at home. After all, the Hall family is now very beautiful in London, which is not comparable to the more wealthy outsiders.

Aldridge was very restrained at the party, but was able to talk and laugh with everyone who came to talk to him, showing his elegance.

It wasn't until late at night that Aldrich came up to his room. He first placed his salute properly. Two large boxes, one for clothes and the other for books and materials, he planned to put all the books in the study , And inadvertently saw a folder on the table.

He opened the folder curiously and took a closer look, until finally he was surprised to find that this was a contract document for the ownership of the football club.

He stared at the two names in the contract.

One is his own.

The other is the name of the football club.

Millwall Football Club!
