The Young Lion

After traveling to the United States, Millwall officially announced that the transfer market was closed.

No more players will come and no more players will leave.

Three players have gone, three players have come in, the entry and the exit are balanced, and Millwall returned to Audridge as the head coach and then returned to the state of buying the player in the future. Unlike last summer, Aldridge will spend a lot of money to bring a world-class star like Nesta to the team.

The lineup left by itself last season is not a temporary lineup, but has great potential. This summer is mainly based on excessive stability.

Reconstructing this topic has been discussed since last summer, and now it is down to earth to achieve its goals. The team has not changed much, it has been turbulent, and it makes sense.

Millwall is dominated by most of his veterans, and a new generation of third-line successors are also prepared. Ronaldo, Robben, Villa, Rooney, Ribery, Alonso, and Dro West, Kaka, and defenders also have Silva, Ram, Baines, Ramos, who are critical, and there is Joe Hart in the goalkeeper position.

This time I went to the United States, in addition to the warm-up game, there was cooperation and exchange between Millwall and several NBA clubs in the United States.

Just as Millwall's North American practice started as planned, a man from England's football scene was welcomed in the mansion of Milano and Moratti.

Abu and Moratti also knew each other. This time he was in Milan, he asked Moratti for the knowledge of running a club.

At least in Abu's view, Moratti is the closest person to him.

Abu did not like the management model of the Premier League.

In Italy, the coach is the coach, the power is in the locker room, the role of the manager is taken by others, and is controlled by the boss, while in the Premier League, the coach and the manager are mostly a role, the more traditional the club, for this The clearer the division.

Like Ferguson, Wenger, and other traditional clubs in the British style, the club has budgeted and the head coach made a decision. For example, when Liverpool was later acquired by a foreign boss, it opened the curtain of "fighting" similar to Italy and Spain.

Now the outside world is waiting for Chelsea’s defeat, waiting for Abu’s disgraced in the Premier League, as the boss of Newcastle United said: We have invested more than 200 million pounds in the past few seasons, but our honor room is still empty, Abu It will soon be understood that money cannot buy champions.

Abu looked disapproved and even ignored the old tradition of England.

Can understand his psychology.

He spent almost 300 million pounds on buying clubs, paying off debts, and repairing the stadium to rebuild the youth training system.

He saved a club.

He will come up with a huge transfer budget for the team.

Then, he was not allowed to intervene in the team's transfer operation?

What is the reason?

Tradition?

Go to hell!

In this respect, Moratti is actually very similar to him. However, in Italy, Moratti is at best ridiculed for spending money, but no one will accuse him of spending money to buy the player of his choice is wrong. This is Italy. Tradition, like AC Milan's Lao Bei if he specifies who to buy and eventually buy a parallel, the unfortunate thing is that the head coach is useless, and no one will accuse Lao Bei of spending money to plug the team into a burden.

Moratti gave Abu a warm hospitality and shared his experience with Inter Milan for many years without reservation.

At the end of the conversation, Abu, who was holding a tea cup, suddenly asked: "Sir, I don't understand something. In my eyes, AC Milan and Inter Milan's mutual hatred should far exceed Chelsea and Millwall. However, AC Milan and Inter Milan have not blocked club transactions in recent years, and even seem to be frequent, but in English football, if Chelsea want to get Millwall players, it will be a very low probability Things."

Abt deliberately used the word "frequently" because the club itself transfers twice a season, with summer being the main one and winter patching, and it is impossible for a team to buy or sell 10 people this year and another 10 next year. Personally, on average, 2-4 deals in a season are almost the same. No matter how many, it can only show that this team is unstable for a long time!

It is against this background that anyone who can trade with each other three times in five years can be called frequent. After all, there are too many teams in the UEFA world. Even if the top teams come in handy, they will eventually come to this market. It is huge to the global scale.

Moratti chuckled and played with the taste: "Didn't Chelsea just got a Millwall player?"

Abu frowned lightly and said lightly: "To be honest, this deal, I just throw a stone to ask for directions and try to see if things are absolute."

Abu was ridiculed by the outside world as an injustice, but the outside world did not understand Abu's attitude towards Millwall.

He wanted Henry, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Nedved, Nesta, Ashley Cole.

But as the agent of most of the players in the team, Andrew directly told him an answer: impossible.

Abu thought it was a matter of commission, and because of friend relations, he could only ask indistinctly, but Andrew told him indifferently: "You can try a quotation, no matter how much the quotation, Millwall will not agree, unless you open a Not only crazy, but also makes you laugh at the price of the world for ten or twenty years."

For example, if he opened 200 million pounds to buy Henry, and then gave Henry a contract that was absolutely difficult to refuse, then why didn’t Millwall sell players?

The premise is that Henry will be impressed. Secondly, the Millwall Club will not be blinded by emotions. 200 million pounds will allow them to lay a more solid future. In the eyes of the club, no player is indispensable. The most important thing is profit and loss. Consider.

At this time, basically more than 100 million pounds, plus contract spending, Chelsea really dare to make such a deal, in addition to fans will be shocked, admired, despised, etc. crazy, but most people in the real football circle will laugh at Chelsea.

why?

What is the annual operating income of Chelsea?

They may have owned a player at the cost of 3 years and 4 years of total income. Don’t consider how such a detached player will impact the team’s locker room. Only the financial terror deficit makes Chelsea a toy for the rich. Is more deeply ingrained.

Abu didn’t really care about the arrival of Glen Johnson, because this kid was an unknown player, and he was not on the list of recruits he made. It was just that the team really needed a full-back. Five million pounds was rejected, and Abu directly doubled the price and did not expect Millwall to agree.

But then, he tried to give Ronaldo and Nesta a quotation, proposed 30 million pounds for the former, and the latter gave 40 million pounds, without exception, were directly rejected by Millwall.

Millwall didn't publicize it because the team was going to prepare for it and didn't want the players in the team to appear in the soap opera of the transfer news.

Abu couldn't figure it out.

In his opinion, in the football world, how can there be old and dead associations between clubs?

Real Madrid Barcelona did not have the same player movement, first Enrique defected to Nou Camp, then Figo joined the Bernabeu, AC Milan and Inter Milan were a bright and upright player transaction, Millwall also dug from the deadly rival West Ham United Corner.

What can't be done here at Chelsea?

Moratti saw Abu tangled in his face and sighed: "Chelsea bought it from Millwall and explained it in cold words. It was **** in Millwall's eyes. So, you can take that player, but a few days Before, you heard that Klose was negotiating with Bayern Munich and offered 20 million pounds, but did not get any response from Millwall. Why? Because Klose is not garbage, he is a quality product. Inter Milan and AC Milan do have Trading exists, but we will never give our main players, planned players to the opponent, even if we can’t keep it, we won’t give it to the enemy, but if it is an unimportant little person, where does he love to go, where is his interest Will be the first. In other words, Millwall sells to your players, you can also buy it elsewhere, it may be cheaper, this money, they earned, who suffered? And, they sold to you The little man, gives you 11 such little men. What if Chelsea is rich? Is it competitive in front of Millwall? Is it a level?"

After Morati finished speaking, he sighed again.

Millwall is a talent pool that is eager for the entire European giants. It was difficult for such a club to survive.

Because European giants will divide and dismember them before they rise completely!

Like Ajax who claimed to rule the next ten years of football.

The European giants did the same with Millwall.

In the summer of 1998, the main force of Millwall's half team was divided. According to the expected development, even if Millwall will not collapse, but as long as the performance is frustrated, it is basically fixed in the ranks of the first-class UEFA football team, because They will not be able to continue to own most top players for a long time! Unable to maintain a stable top lineup!

However, Aldridge, who lost the league title in 1998, simply regained the league title in the new season after losing the main force of the half team. The UEFA Champions League, but also fell to the penalty shootout in Munich, that is the semifinals.

That season should be the most critical season for Millwall to really take off and at the fork of fate!

If they fail, there will be no future dynasty.

However, they succeeded and gave players confidence, so that the outside world began to redefine them. In the next three seasons, the league and the Champions League monopolized at the same time, which made Millwall completely stabilized the position of the giants and difficult to shake.

This is what makes Aldridge great in the eyes of UEFA football players.

Now, world-class players will be interested in Millwall's invitation, and Millwall can also have top players for a long time.

In the past, it was impossible to keep people.

Now, it is due to the elimination of internal competition in the team, or the genius of "out of season" at the same time, it is difficult to get ahead and have to leave Millwall.

They are even more confident than ordinary giants, also because of the existence of Aldridge, because the players long for honor, know that under this young coach, the most promising to reach the height of legend!

Like Inter Milan's England international Lampard who just ushered in this summer, if Millwall has room for him, he will never go far to Apennine, although in a sense he also left, Millwall hopes to keep Of course, compared with being hurt after the digging of the main force, Lampard’s departure will not even make Millwall frown.

Abu was still a little unwilling, and broke the casserole and asked in the end.

"What if I want to make a sensation? Run a transfer like Figo? Is Millwall indifferent? Are there many choices for them?"

Moratti smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You haven't understood Millwall's attitude. Millwall itself despised Chelsea. They can care about you taking away some waste, just like if AC Milan took a preparation from here. The team’s mediocrity, I will readily agree and humiliate them after receiving a check from AC Milan. But if AC Milan wants to compete with Real Madrid for Ronaldo, even if they bid higher than Real Madrid, I will not agree because of the ending It will be the opposite. After the moment I received the check, AC Milan will laugh at me, and all AC Milan people will use this as a victory against Inter Milan. So, no one will discuss what Real Madrid has spent for Figo Money is not worth it, only Real Madrid members laughed at Barcelona’s victory, and Barcelona’s humiliation and anger. You want Millwall to appear next Fego, you have to do at least two points. First, Chelsea is worth the level of Fego The stars are effective. Second, Chelsea have a special attraction than Millwall."

Abu thoughtfully, the last two points are the key.

To put it bluntly, Chelsea has substantial competitiveness. As for the special attraction, everyone is in London. It is too far-fetched to say what the geographical environment is. The only special place may be only money.
