The Young Lion

When Aldridge sat down next to Villa, Villa turned his head and then quickly lowered his head, as if he looked like Jiang Dong's father.

"The team won, are you not happy?"

Aldrich asked softly.

Villa pursed her lips for a long while before whispering: "Sorry, I let you down today."

"No, I think it's fine now."

Aldrich's understatement answer filled Villa's eyes with a puzzled expression.

"David, it's not that I don't want to see a good Villa, but I want to see a Villa who can recognize myself without interference from the outside world."

"Boss, I don't understand."

Villa felt that Aldridge's words were very profound, and thinking about it would make him even more confused.

Aldridge raised his right finger to the window and smiled, "This is the UK, the European News Center, and the world's most popular place for news. Football is the most popular national sport in this country. As long as it touches football, there is nothing No hype. David, what was your mood before today? Um? Pride, publicity, and confidence, as written in the Fleet Street newspaper: Oh, Villa, Prince Billy, a fan of the fans Ya, he scored a goal against Manchester United in the first game of his career. Is there a better story to begin with? He will become Millwall’s next generation Lion King, he is very talented, he is very talented, he is born to be a stadium The killer on the road, look at his running, look at his calmness when shooting, then look at his handsome appearance, he will definitely become a star, will surely become the dream lover of thousands of girls..."

Aldrich's exaggerated tone and arm movements made Villa look ashamed. The teammates in the front row heard their heads bowed and laughed.

"Boss, that's enough. Do you want me to see people without a face?"

The blushing Villa had to stop Aldridge to go on.

After Aldrich said this, Villa probably guessed the content of Aldrich's conversation with him, and his mentality did not continue to deteriorate due to the red card being sent off. Instead, he laughed.

"David, here, there are two kinds of people who can never believe it. The first is a politician and the second is a reporter. Even if they talk about you, they don’t care about you at all, especially the media. , They want you better today, tomorrow tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, so that they can always use you as the news focus to support their families, I can make a bet with you, as long as you have Millwall tomorrow Most of the football news of the relationship will criticize your voice, ridicule your voice, and criticize you for being exhaustive."

"Boss, I won't bet with you, I believe what you said is true."

"So, you can't be fooled and disturbed by the media. If they think you can do it, do you still need training? Do you still need a coach to guide you? Also need the club staff to take care of you to train you? They don't care about you , But we, everyone around you care about you, maybe my words will make you feel cruel and cold in your ears, but I just tell you the reality, let you recognize yourself, and then you decide, Are you living in a false confusion, or living in a cruel reality. You are still a long way, long, you have the potential to become a top star, but this requires your patience and hard work, perseverance, and rejection of external interference, step by step Going forward, you can become a star, a teammate's trust, and a part of relying on."

Villa looked at Aldridge nodded solemnly and said, "Boss, I understand, thank you."

Aldridge smiled and said: "Okay, then let's talk about the technical problems of you getting two fouls and eating red cards in the game. The first foul in our penalty zone is completely unnecessary. , You didn’t calmly and carefully observe the position of your teammates, Metzelder stared at the opponent’s receiving team, Barzali also blocked the opponent’s shooting angle, Gattuso and Lampard had already blocked the opponent’s continued activities. Route, but you frantically gave the opponent a penalty after the foul. The second time, your defensive action was almost rough..."

Villa patiently listened to Aldridge's analysis of his performance in the game, which is certainly not enough. He went back to watch the video, review and summarize the errors.

Two days later, Aldridge flew to Switzerland to participate in the UEFA Champions League draw of the new season.

In the lobby of the lottery, Odrić came early to find a seat and sat down. This year there were many more people and many strange faces, such as Lazio coach Eriksson and Valencia coach Cooper. , But there are many faces that used to be familiar, such as Barcelona coach Van Gaal and Kiev Dynamo coach Lobanovski.

In the new season, the Champions League has expanded, and the number of participating teams has risen from 24 to 32. There are many new faces in the crowd, and it is reasonable.

"Old friend, summer is your son, congratulations."

Aldridge turned his head and looked familiar. He felt right when he heard that voice, AC Milan manager Galliani.

The bald head smiles, and if it gets fatter, it is estimated that it can endorse Maitreya.

He sat down next to Aldridge with a smile of complacency.

AC Milan won the Serie A championship last season, and he contributed a lot, because all the transfer operations of the club are handled by one hand, which makes him quite exasperated.

But man, it’s easy to be punished for being too proud. In the summer, he basically has no operation. He wants to rely on the winning team to continue to create brilliance. In fact, AC Milan’s competitiveness has dropped significantly compared with the previous year. Why? The players are old and can't expect Bierhoff to be magical all the time. Shevchenko quickly became San Siro's darling.

"That, Ronaldinho..."

"I recently lacked a defender. If Martini is willing to sell AC Milan, I can pay 30 million pounds."

Mr. Ga just picked a word and mentioned Ronaldinho's name, and Aldridge interrupted him with a smile.

Cough.

Galliani smiled after coughing twice: "You really love joking."

"Oh, maybe."

"Don't you! Whom do you like the other players? It's all right, not him."

Galliani was so anxious now that his head was sweating.

If Aldrich showed absolute sincerity to attack Maldini, Galliani could not guarantee that San Siro would remain the loyal minister.

Loyalty, in Aldrich's opinion, is often not doomed from one end to the other, but when he looks back at the end, he finds that he has become a loyalty because of the facts.

Although Martini is 31 years old, he can still maintain a world-class level for at least 5 years. If Aldrich hits 30 million or more to impress AC Milan, AC Milan must at least consider two points. The first is the transfer fee income. Whether to make this money or not, the second is the age of Maldini.

However, if such a loyal clerk is sold, the club will always need someone to act as a scapegoat. If the transaction can be established, Lao Bei collects money and Galliani blames the boss. This is a matter of course.

So Galliani wanted to know with his buttocks, even if he helped AC Milan make money, he might get out or be threatened by the death of fans...

Aldridge just bet against Galliani's mouth, and Galliani became fine. Seeing Aldrich no longer talks about it, and knows that the other party is just scaring himself, the intention is that he does not want to do business. .

He obediently followed and started talking about other topics.

"Did I receive the gift I sent you a month ago?"

"Well, on behalf of my child, I thank you for your care and blessings."

"That's good, there will be opportunities to bring them to San Siro to watch the game in the future."

"There must be a chance, maybe Millwall and AC Milan met in the European War."

"Well? That probability is still very low, very low..."

Galliani hopes that AC Milan can win in the new season. Needless to say, the league champions, it is best to play a record that can satisfy the fans in the European war. Anyway, let the fans cheerfully look forward to the renaissance of the Milan dynasty. ?

But if his mother met Millwall, Galliani thought it was blood mold!

The two chatted casually, one after another, and each expressed their opinions.

"The UEFA is pure nonsense, two rounds of group games, six more games than in previous years? Is it a **** league? Looking at it now, I thought I was making money. After two years of looking back, I know if it is Earn or lose."

"But the expansion of the top 32 can guarantee our interests. For example, if Millwall won the league third in a certain year, he will definitely be able to participate in the Champions League."

"I don't deny that the expansion of the army can protect our interests, but that the schedule, the top 32 and the top 16 will play the knockout, just two more games than in previous years."

"Uh, maybe what you said makes sense."

Galliani didn't take it for granted. It was more realistic to play in the Champions League and earn more tickets.

In fact, after UEFA played the Champions League in this way, it directly caused the giants' dominance of the league to plummet.

Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2000 and 2002, fifth and third in the league, the points are significantly worse than before.

Although Bayern had a double crown in the Champions League in 2001, the points in the league were only 1 point more than Schalke 04, which was 10 points less than the previous season. The more the team hit the back, the more the league Difficult to control, Leverkusen Sanya Wang said that he crashed, it is better to say that the thickness of the bench can not keep up, and finally fight to kill the thief and go back to heaven.

Therefore, as long as Aldridge has a stable game in the league, he will try to let the main players rest. As the new season begins, everything seems to be moving in a good direction, but the first half of the league is to lay the foundation. The real decisive battle is almost the beginning of the New Year. It will start from the aspects of endurance, stability, lineup thickness, player status, locker room unity and so on.

This year I didn’t see Ang Fat, nor did I see AC Milan coach Zaccheroni. After Adrici and Galliani talked nothing, the lottery ceremony also began.

Johansson is still those clichés. When the draw began, Aldridge clearly felt the surrounding atmosphere changed.

Tension and dignity.

Galliani also smiled.

With this year's expansion, there are a lot more small roles in the second-tier European leagues. For them, being able to draw a good draw means that they may be able to double or even share the profit of the Champions League, and naturally they will become nervous.

Aldridge didn’t care much about the result of the draw. Everyone touched everybody. Anyway, there were only a few strong enemies. He was really crowded in a small group. He was not afraid of it, and he was in line with his heart. In the second round of group stage and knockout, the schedule is relatively easy, which will benefit the second half of the season.

Perhaps UEFA heard Audridge’s voice, he thought so, UEFA certainly can not do what he wants!

When the group draw was drawn, Aldridge's hand was suddenly shot on the back, a bit painful.

He turned his head and stared at him in a complicated manner.
