The Young Lion

At the dinner of the English Football Coaches Association, Aldridge received the award of the best coach of the season in League One, and he was the coquettish figure in the whole evening after Nottingham Forest coach Frank Clark.

Nottingham Forest was promoted to the Premier League last season and won the third place in the league under the leadership of Frank Clark, a disciple of Brian Clough. It can be called another small miracle of Nottingham Forest.

During the evening party, Aldridge also had brief exchanges with several Premier League coaches. In fact, many Premier League clubs want to introduce players from Millwall, so let’s first explore Aldridge’s tone. As far as the team with rich background is concerned, Aldridge directly declared that any player in the team is not for sale.

When the season came to an end, Middlesbrough successfully got the last Premier League ticket, and the season came to an end.

Aldridge started the operation of the summer transfer market.

The matter of sponsors was handed over to Adam to discuss. Barclays' sponsorship, Puma's sponsorship, and in-stadium advertising, etc., are expected to bring about three million pounds in revenue for the team at the beginning of the season.

Early in the morning, Aldridge called Andrew at home after having breakfast, and made an appointment to meet him at the intersection of the block.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a white BMW stopped on the side of the street. Aldrich saw Andrew sitting in the driver's seat and a beautiful girl in a thin dress sitting in the passenger seat. Hello.

Ah~ what are you looking for me in the morning?

Andrew was dressed very casually, with his shirt not even tucked into his trousers. After getting out of the car, he took out a cigarette, leaned against the car door and lit one, and then passed one to Aldrich.

Aldrich lit a cigarette, smiled and said, I originally asked you for help with some transfer matters, but you seem to be very busy, forget it, just introduce an assistant from the company to help me, in the next one or two days In a few months, I may go abroad, but first I will run around the country, in short, I need intelligence personnel.

After exhaling a smoke ring, Andrew turned around and pointed his head into the car and said, Honey, get out of the car and go home, I have to be busy with business.

Huh? Didn't you agree to go to France for vacation?

Hey, I want to work, you go home first, you can go anytime on vacation.

Andrew! Your promise is shit!

Hehe, maybe, drive the car away, by the way, don't contact me again, bye.

Andrew didn't have any grace in the face of the angry beauty, he put his arms around Aldrich's shoulders and walked forward. He took out the phone from his pocket and asked someone to drive another car over.

Aldridge laughed dumbfounded, and asked: Is this blowing?

Andrew squatted on the side of the road smoking a cigarette, and said casually: Well, it's blowing, she thought she was a princess, I can only be sorry, the prince who will accommodate her is not me.

Aldrich somewhat admired the second brother. Although he usually acted like a playboy, he always prioritized things.

Thinking that he just needed some information and didn't need Andrew to accompany him all the way, he also squatted by the side of the road and said, You really don't need to come with me, go on vacation.

Andrew flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, turned his head and laughed and said, Are you kidding? Our family's money is not blown by the wind. I don't care about making money. What's the point of me being alive? You must be looking for me to buy players. , right? I will go with you as the boss of the brokerage company, this is sincerity,

Money will not take the initiative to walk into my pocket.

Aldrich laughed, nodded and said, Okay, let's go together then.

Not long after, Andrew's assistant drove an Audi and parked on the side of the road. Andrew took a tie from the assistant and tied it around his neck. He loosened the belt and stuffed the shirt in on the side of the street. He combed his hair again. Stepping on the tires of the car to polish his leather shoes, in less than three minutes, the impeccably dressed handsome guy opened the car door and got in. Aldrich's eyes were wide open at that brand-new speed.

Tell me, where are you going?

Help me look up the information of four people in your company's information database, Josepe John Cole, Ashley Cole, Rio Ferdinand, and Frank Lampard.

After Aldrich finished speaking, he looked out the car window and waited quietly.

Andrew picked up his mobile phone and called back to the company. The intelligence information is kept in the company and updated regularly. The scouts in his company are no less than those of top clubs. No, or in other words, the scouts in his company are more like detective.

Every year in England, there are geniuses who are hyped by the media, but there are not many geniuses who can finally make it to the big stage. The first name mentioned by Aldridge is one, and it may be better to call another name that is more famous in later generations: Joe - Cole.

Joe Cole is a genius, and the football talent he showed since he was a child can attract the attention of all parties.

There are not many chips that Aldridge can take out now, it is nothing more than money, but for many players, this is a kind of temptation in itself. There are not no people in this world who can resist the temptation of money, and most of them are just the amount of money Just how much.

Andrew put down the phone, not to mention that these four people are all in London, even in other places, he can find out the news, after all, they are his potential customers.

Both Cole haven't joined any club yet. As for Ferdinand and Lampard, it's a bit troublesome. The latest news I got is that this summer, West Ham United is ready to give them a senior team contract.

Aldridge closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: Then go find them two first, it's interesting, why not do it by poaching from the deadly enemy? How much weekly salary will West Ham United give them?

Still at £600, or £60.

I'll give you 3000.

Haha, you're going to be treated like a fool with a lot of money again!

Time will tell who is the fool.

Andrew drove Aldridge straight to Leo Ferdinand's home.

Aldridge came to the door in person. He didn't think it was a self-deprecation. Some transfers require the head coach to come forward in person to impress the players.

The manager of Manchester City was waiting in the office for Ryan Giggs to sign the contract, but no one was seen until dark. After inquiring about it the next day, Manchester United coach Ferguson visited Ryan Giggs and directly poached the man who has been in English football for 20 years. Zuo Lu Tianzun......

Aldridge has obviously gained a lot of fame in this acre of three-point land in London. Firstly, he himself was the most glorious League One coach last season. Secondly, Millwall will be in the Premier League next season. Naturally, the media It will be warmed up in advance. The news about him and Millwall has already spread like wildfire to people in the football circle.

Therefore, Aldrich and Andrew came to visit Ferdinand together, which attracted the attention of the Ferdinand family, and even his relatives came. Aldridge moved Ferdinand through his sincerity and the weekly salary in the contract.

Frank Lampard's transfer was a little more complicated because his father held a position at the West Ham United club, but the relationship with the club was not good, so Aldridge also promised an old Lampard Millwall's position, and then took Lampard away with what they saw as a high weekly salary.

West Ham United, who originally planned to give Lampard and Ferdinand a contract in July, were finally annoyed to find that their star of hope was lured away by their rival Millwall with a high salary.

The youth army storm that Millwall blew up last season was the biggest attraction for Aldridge to sign players. Maybe he hasn't made any achievements in the Premier League, but as far as training young players is concerned, every young man in his team The players all seemed to have great potential and performed amazingly under him.

When the night fell, Aldrich and Andrew drove to the suburbs. The two ate packed junk fast food, drank beer, and chatted against the Audi car. During this day, Aldrich signed for the club. Four young players.

Even though Joe Cole is only 13 years old, Ashley Cole is only 15 years old.

But Lampard and Ferdinand are already 17 years old. After two or three years of training, they are definitely good chess pieces that can be used to great advantage.

The success of the first day made Aldrich a little confident. As a result, he and Andrew went to Merseyside in the northwest of England on the second day, but encountered a series of obstacles.

Manchester United has 92 classes, and Liverpool, which is also a traditional giant in England, also has 96 classes, and the most dazzling of these 96 classes are three players.

One morning, Aldrich was first rejected at Carragher's home, and then directly sent off by Owen's parents.

There was only Gerrard left, and Aldrich met the future soul of the Red Army in a cafe.

The young and slightly youthful Gerald is wearing casual clothes. Although he is pretending to be an old man, his rolling eyes betray the eccentricity in his heart.

Rejected? Why? Steven, if you have any dissatisfaction, can you bring it up? Can you give me a weekly salary? Two thousand is too little. I can give two thousand five. If the worry is about accommodation, the club can provide an apartment... .”

Uh, sir, thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to sign with any team other than Liverpool.

Gerald lowered his head with some dodge eyes.

Aldridge scratched his head and asked strangely: Huh? Then why did you go around to other clubs for trial training? And you agreed to come out to meet me? You can reject me directly on the phone.

Before Aldridge came here, he had great expectations, especially when he heard that Gerrard was looking for clubs to try out, but no club could sign him. Aldridge thought that everyone else was blind and could not see. It's a gem.

Gerrard whispered slightly apologetically: It's like this. I want to put pressure on the Liverpool club in this way to let them give me a contract as soon as possible.

Aldrich was dumbfounded.

Oh shit!

I was tricked by this kid!

It also served as a stepping stone for him!

Needless to say, the news of Millwall's poaching of Gerrard will spread soon. Even if no reporter finds out, Gerrard will still yell at the outside world so that it can reach the ears of the Liverpool club.

Aldrich left Merseyside in a dispirited mood, and his poaching career suffered a great blow.

On the way back to London, Aldrich smiled wryly in his heart. He should have had such an awareness long ago. How can it be so easy to dig out the stars of hope for those wealthy families? A soldier from a wealthy family with a strong root, why bother to wander outside?

Only a team like West Ham United, which has neither pursuit nor background, can easily poach players. Think about Paul Ince back then...

After Aldridge lamented, he regained his energy and continued to dig the next corner according to his plan. It is not only the rich that have good seedlings, it is nothing more than big waves washing sand, we know where there is gold better than others.
