The Young Lion

Aldridge had a deep talk with Pirlo until the cafe closed at night. Pirlo was finally persuaded by him and agreed to transfer to Millwall.

After finalizing Pirlo's transfer, Aldridge ended his trip to Italy. In fact, he has many signing targets, but like Owen Gerrard, people don't look down on Millwall at all, most of them are like Elgla , Capdevila's young players who are not born in rich football clubs will be moved by money and sincerity, just like the golden boy Torres who is still a child, even though Andrew has already had contact with him in Madrid as an agent , but when it comes to the future, Torres has no idea of ​​leaving Madrid at all. The same is true for Harvey. Aldridge will not stalk this type of player who obviously cannot be introduced. There is no grass in the world... ..

But Aldridge's summer signings are not over yet. He still needs a heavyweight striker in his plan, at least a superstar striker who can fully mature within two to three years.

Larson and Trezeguet are the main players of the team, but Larson has been targeted by Manchester United. Whether he can stay for a long time, Aldridge does not know, and Trezeguet and Aldridge have no confidence in the long-term Yes, there are only three years left until the 1998 World Cup... Thuram, Trezeguet, Vieira, Pires, who will be the French champions at that time, and now they have changed to playing midfielders. Will Makelele still miss the World Cup.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, does not know when he will open up. Luca Toni has some limitations in the tactical system. Solskjaer's role as a surprise player is better than stabilizing the main force. Due to their limited talents, they cannot rely on the two of them to get away with their self-breakthrough.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that Aldridge's team is full of talents, and he is still tirelessly collecting seedlings, in fact, he doesn't know if he will wake up overnight and the main players in the team will collectively submit transfer applications.

In the last leg of the summer signings program, Aldridge and Andrew came to Kyiv, Ukraine.

Since the disintegration of Eastern Europe in the early 1990s, European countries, especially the British, were very sensitive when they came to the countries where the former Soviet Union disintegrated in the first few years. And then instigated brainwashing to become a spy.

So, after Aldridge got off the plane, he took a taxi with Andrew to the destination: Dynamo Kyiv Club.

Before coming, Aldridge's transfer offer was delivered to Dynamo Kyiv.

1 million pounds to buy Dynamo Kyiv young player Andriy Shevchenko!

Shevchenko, who is about to turn 19 in September, played 17 times in the Ukrainian league last season and scored 1 goal, which is considered a budding figure.

The good news for Aldridge is: the legendary coach Valery Lobanovsky, who has entered the palace three times in the history of Dynamo Kiev, has not yet returned to Dynamo Kyiv for the third time.

This coach has the magic power of turning stones into gold. Almost every time he coaches Dynamo Kyiv again, he can create a group of golden generations. If it were not for the semi-finals of the Champions League in 1999, he regrettably lost to Kahn-Mateus-Effenbo If there is Bayern Munich led by Geiger, then it will be Dynamo Kyiv of that generation that will finally stage the Champions League pinnacle battle with Manchester United.

If he is in the team, the difficulty for Aldridge to buy Shevchenko will suddenly increase.

And now, Aldridge only used 1.8 million pounds to knock on Dynamo Kyiv's free hands.

Among the current group of Dynamo Kyiv players, in addition to the nuclear warhead Sheva who will become famous in the world in the future, there is also Karadze who will join the San Siro in the future.

Rebrov and others who moved to England but failed.

It’s not that Aldridge is not interested in them, but he can only buy Sheva alone, because none of these people have an EU account book. Aldridge can only introduce one person if he wants to complete the similar operation of transferring to Nedved last year. Then in the face of such a multiple-choice question, there is no need to choose the answer at all, none other than Sheva.

In the later history, Shevchenko moved to the Premier League, but returned bleakly. Aldridge believes that there are many reasons, both players and clubs.

A large part of the player's injury is due to overwork. The minor injuries and illnesses accumulated after long-term continuous combat will directly lead to the decline of the player's physique. Shevchenko and later Torres, as well as Irving, are similar Yes, premature fame, excessive body overdraw in the first half of his career, and incomplete and inappropriate treatment, all of which will directly affect the player's state and physical condition later on.

As for the club, impatient with famous stars is one of them. Both fans and coaches need to come to the star who can fight. Once the star fails to reflect his worth in the short term, the criticism from the outside will flood in, which will have a negative impact on the player's psychology. , thus forming a vicious circle.

More importantly, Aldridge believes that Chelsea's system has established a relatively clear three lines during the Mourinho period: the back line is more important than the midfielder and the striker.

In such a tactical system, strikers are the least likely to achieve results. Even the Warcraft Drogba, how many years did it take to win the Premier League Golden Boot? Even if Henry, who won the Premier League Golden Boot for three consecutive times in the same period, is placed in Chelsea, I am afraid that he may not be able to score more than 80 goals in three seasons.

A player’s ability cannot be denied just because a player cannot adapt to a specific tactical system. Aldridge will be patient with all the imported players, allowing them to have an adaptation process and steps to integrate into the tactical system. He will never act too hastily, nor demand young players How the player shines early in the team.

Arriving at Dynamo Kyiv, Aldrich and Andrew followed the guidance of the club officials to the conference room. After shaking hands with the club manager, the young Shevchenko appeared in front of Aldrich. At the same time, there is also an equipped translator. Although Aldrich is proficient in multiple languages, he really doesn't understand Ukrainian.

Shevchenko looked calm, but Aldrich could see some excitement in his eyes.

The status of Eastern European football on the European map is deteriorating. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it also affected the decline of Eastern European football. At the same time, players wanted a bigger stage, so they naturally landed in the traditional five major leagues. Will be satisfied to play in the ice and snow of Ukraine for a lifetime.

But Shevchenko yearned for the era's haunting Italy, not England.

Shevchenko, who is a little stunned now, directly expressed his thoughts through a translator.

Brother wants to go to Italy, not England!

Aldridge could only say to the translator earnestly: Please tell him that playing in England will attract more attention than playing in Ukraine, especially now that the influence of Premier League broadcasts is gradually increasing. He can play first in England. If you play well, you will be discovered by more Serie A teams, and if you stay in the UK for a few years, you can get an EU passport, and then you will have a greater advantage if you transfer to Serie A.

The translator whispered to Shevchenko for a long time, and then the translator said to Aldrich: He wants to know whether your team can stay in the Premier League for a long time. Regarding his future, as the team owner and head coach, you, What's the plan?

Speaking of his old profession, Aldrich didn't need to coax and deceive the other party, he just opened his mouth and talked to the translator for a long time.

Then, Aldridge found that he had spoken for about ten minutes, and it took thirty seconds for the translator to convey it...

He wanted to beat up the interpreter, but he held back when he saw the wavering look on Shevchenko's expression.

He's worried that he won't fit into your team with his language problem.

If he wants to go out of Ukraine, no matter which major league he lands in, he will encounter such problems. Italy, Germany, England, Spain, and even France, no one speaks Ukrainian! The team will provide him with an interpreter until He can completely use English to live independently. I think you can tell him this way. Instead of dreaming of joining the giants directly and having difficulty communicating with many stars, and even the head coach, it is better to come to my team first. At least this way The negative impact of the short board will be minimized, and it will also be able to accumulate experience for him and learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment.

It took a lot of effort for Aldrich to persuade Shevchenko to join. Although the negotiation took a lot of time, he felt it was understandable. After all, the other party was going to leave his hometown and go to England, so be cautious. It should be.

Before completing the transfer, Aldridge asked Andrew to take care of the matter immediately after returning to London.

It is not easy for Millwall to directly come forward to make a deal with the FA, an intermediary must come forward.

There have always been black money scandals in British football, but they are basically behind the scenes of player transactions.

Aldridge just wanted the FA to open the door for him.

Even if someone breaks out this scandal in the future, Aldrich can completely write it off.

Nedved doesn't have an EU passport, but when he becomes popular, who the hell dare to say that he is not a genius? It is the loss of English football not to introduce him.

The situation of Shevchenko is similar. As long as he can become famous in English football, no one will ask for trouble to reveal whether there is any trick in the subsequent transfer hearing.

As long as there are no clues in the money transaction process, Aldrich will have nothing to fear. In this regard, he is very relieved of Andrew. The kid has been a money fan since he was a child, and he has already reached the peak of how to play with money. Mode, anyway, it will not be stolen and won, let alone leave the slightest trace.

However, Aldridge received a message from Andrew in London: the FA needs a sponsor for the hearing.

Millwall is no longer the League One team last year. At that time, it was not noticeable, and no one cared who Millwall brought in. But this summer, Millwall is a Premier League team. I hope that the FA will open the back door, which will be seen by the other 19 teams, and they will follow suit and do the same!

Aldridge needs someone who is highly respected in English football to come forward. After thinking about it, there is only one person who can be moved, or who is willing to help him and repay the favor.

Alex Ferguson!
