One Thousand One Hundred and Ninety Six Showdown
In the summer of 2007, the Millwall Club went to Asia for gold, allowing the team to leave Europe from the preparation period. In the transfer market, Real Madrid's pursuit of Ronaldo entered a substantive stage. Messi's father and Barcelona seem to be An agreement was also secretly reached, and Barcelona also provided Millwall with an offer that seemed expensive to the outside world: £50 million!
Yes, £50 million definitely looks like at least twice what Messi is worth now!
Because he is young, has potential, and can be even stronger!
But Aldridge didn't even bother to pay attention to this offer, and he didn't say to Barcelona: Your offer is simply insulting. There was no further response on this issue either.
Anyway, Millwall's transfer window is closed.
Nobody sells it!
For the time being, in the transfer market, there is no prey that the team needs to buy.
After the gold rush in Asia is over and they return to London, the team will start a new season.
At this time, the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League also started, and it was time for Millwall to make a statement.
The club is still very calm. It just informed the FA that the fifth place in the Premier League last season can go to the qualifying round, which is Arsenal.
Originally, Arsenal was quite chaotic, and Wenger's life became more and more sad day by day, but unexpectedly, this blessing from heaven dilutes the worries of the fans.
The fifth place in the league also has the Champions League?
Such a good thing!
Of course you can, why not?
The Champions League allocates the number of qualifications according to the league rankings, such as Manchester United and Chelsea. Liverpool have also withdrawn from the European competition. Tottenham behind. Everton, and even Bolton, who ranked eighth in the league last season, can play in the Champions League instead. As for not having the basic qualifications for the Champions League and being deprived of qualifications, that is another matter.
Although Millwall issued a statement a few months ago, their players also issued a manifesto, but it has really come to this step, which still shocked the world football media!
Everyone thought that UEFA and Millwall had settled the dispute through private consultations.
Unexpectedly, peace is just an appearance. At the critical moment, they still embarked on the road of no return!
Yes,
Everyone thinks that Millwall is self-defeating by doing so, and UEFA will certainly be hurt, but this practice of hurting the enemy by eight hundred and self-defeating one thousand is very unwise in the eyes of most people.
The shadow that hangs over UEFA is anger and distrust towards Platini, accompanied by the pressure of direct economic interests brought by sponsors, and the sense of crisis of external regulatory intervention in the investigation. The reforms brought about by Tiny's election as the new chairman are disappointing.
Millwall has an easier season ahead, with no European commitments. The domestic three-tier teams are competing together, although there are many competitions. But compared to the past, it must be extremely relaxed, and the pressure is much less.
Just after Millwall decided not to participate in the UEFA Champions League in the new season, British bookmakers first closed the odds of Millwall winning the Premier League in the new season. , Sorry, they didn't open the market, and then expanded to the whole of Europe, and bookmakers in other parts of the world closed the odds on Millwall's winning the Premier League title.
Without the consumption and pressure of the European war, there seems to be no suspense for Millwall to continue to rule the Premier League in the new season.
But what they are facing internally now is the positioning of Messi and Ronaldo!
The two never had the courage to stand in front of Aldridge, look him in the eyes and say something about the transfer.
I don't know if they don't want to leave, or they wait for each other to leave and stay by themselves.
This stalemate has quickly turned into a cancer in the Millwall dressing room. If it is not resolved, there may be no room for recovery. As the teammates become more and more distrustful of the two of them, the two are isolated more and more. When they really make a decision , and almost cut off the possibility of staying in Millwall.
There are still three days left for the Community Shield match in the new season. The Millwall team is in good condition. Aldridge's work is still on schedule. Most players are not discouraged. How can he lack fighting spirit?
After the training that day, Ronaldo practiced alone on the training ground. He seemed absent-minded, training long-range free kicks again and again.
Kicked a lot.
Last season was a bad one, or so he thought.
The fans who hated him lashed out and attacked him, and the media targeted him. Against this background, the rise of Millwall's new hero and Messi's soaring sky made him feel that he did not get the attention he deserved in the club. He should He is the absolute king of the team's new generation!
Aldridge promised that the team would return to European competition within three years. This is internally confidential information, closed like a locker room, and no one can disclose it.
Three years, he can afford to wait.
He just needs his boss to tell him: You are the absolute heart of Millwall!
He needs such a status to climb to the top of the world and become a football legend of the past and present.
But Aldridge has not made a statement for a long time, which makes him a little frustrated.
The conditions offered by Real Madrid are very attractive, and it can be said that it exceeds the material and internal commitments that Millwall can give him.
However, in recent years, in terms of Real Madrid's performance in the European war, Ronaldo is not sure whether running to the Bernabeu with the name of a traitor is a career improvement.
In his heart, what he fears the most is: Millwall, a phenomenal club, has no such store beyond this village!
In case Millwall returned to the European War and started a dynasty in a devastating manner.
Then there is no doubt that players from other teams of the same era, no matter how outstanding their performance, will be a foil, a foil! Overshadowed, it can only be used as a green leaf to contrast the great detachment of Millwall!
In particular, Real Madrid has all kinds of news every season. The feeling of the outside world is: how can such a team play well?
His mother persuaded him to go to Aldridge and speak out what was in his heart. She thought that Aldridge would satisfy him as much as possible, because her mother confirmed that Aldridge was a kind-hearted person.
But Ronaldo didn't go, he had already offended Aldridge. He was also afraid that Aldrich would be completely sidelined if he really expressed his thoughts!
I don't know when. A figure appeared on the sidelines of the training field. Ronaldo didn't know how long the man had been watching. He turned his head, looked at the man, and said hello.
"Hi Bert."
That was Aldridge's eldest son, already well-known in Millwall Football School, he was as strong as a lion cub. Be full of energy every day.
Burt stood there far away. After Ronaldo greeted him, he yelled at Ronaldo loudly: "You selfish ghost without a conscience! My dad will give you everything when you have nothing, and my dad will stand up when you are scolded." In order to protect you, my dad has been paying attention to your growth at home for many years, which is more energy than paying attention to Earl and me! He can clearly tell you about your height, your weight change, your running Changes in movement speed, physical condition, if you are sick. He will nervously ask the doctor to find you, and will visit you! When Earl and I are sick, my dad still has to direct the game! The team needs you most What were you doing when you were here? Selfish! Heartless selfish! I don't worship you anymore!"
After the child yelled, he turned around and disappeared.
C Luo closed his eyes and reached out to caress his chest. Suddenly, a feeling of self-blame and guilt erupted from the depths of his body, and soon swept his whole body...
After training, Messi returned home.
Now he lives in a villa that is not only decent, but luxurious.
Andrew came to the door, he brought some documents, and just ended the agent contract with Messi, but out of personal feelings, he introduced many business resources of the network to Messi's father.
Andrew had no complaints when Messi ended his contract with his agent.
After all, Messi was not poached by his peers.
It’s just that Messi’s value has increased, his salary has risen, and he has earned more money. Sponsors come to him in an endless stream to sign advertising contracts with him. So the part that seemed to be “exploited” by the agent in the past is not very eye-catching, but now It may be an astronomical figure.
So I want to take back this part of the income and let my father act as a broker, so that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders.
Andrew has a good mentality. Most of the South American football is in this situation. His business in South America is not mainly about being a player agent, but directly buying out the ownership of the players. Most players will find their relatives to act as agents.
For example, Tevez and Mascherano, who are relatively famous players in Europe recently, are owned by the brokerage company. The outside world does not know that Andrew is almost half the boss of that company.
After briefly introducing these sponsor resource information to Messi's father, Andrew was about to stand up and leave, but Messi's father suddenly said: "Andrew, can you tell Sir Hall that Millwall accepts Barcelona's offer?" Make an offer, I know that our family has received a lot of care and favor from Sir Hall, but Barcelona is willing to bid 50 million pounds, and there are additional terms that can be increased to 80 million pounds, Millwall has earned a lot, really a lot."
Andrew, who was about to reach the door, stopped and turned around. Instead of looking at Messi's father, he stared at Messi who was sitting on the sofa as if he had been distracted for a long time.
He looked away with a chuckle, then looked back at Messi and said: "It's not about money, really, really! As for Aldridge, give him £1 million and he'll live happily ever after. All his life, and he has a net worth of more than five billion pounds, he doesn't care how much Barcelona asks, from a long time ago, player transfers are not a business in his eyes, not a business! He is my brother, at this time, I want Say something for him: Messi, if you really have a grateful heart, don't try to repay him with money, it is an insult! You are like his child, he watched you grow up and understands You have suffered from illness for many years. He let the club focus on taking care of you and cultivating you. The time and energy he spent on you cannot be bought by money! I know what you want to say, and you may still be struggling , if Aldridge really valued you so much, why wouldn't he sell Ronaldo away, keep you, and let you become the most eye-catching king at the Lion King Stadium. I am not your agent now, so I can speak my mind Come out and ask you: You and Ronaldo both want to be Maradona in Naples, but why can't you become Di Stefano and Puskas in Millwall?"
Andrew turned and left.
Messi stared at his leaving back in a daze. (To be continued..)
