Bale has actually been on Millwall's scouting network watch list.
It's just that the list is very similar to the list of active players registered by the Football Association, especially the young players.
He is not yet 16 years old. Naturally, Millwall will not list him as a very important signing target. To put it bluntly, he has not even signed a professional contract. No matter how much attention he pays to him, there is very limited attention, let alone a rating.
The likes of Alves, Pepe, and Neuer have at least entered professional teams, have experienced semi-professional or professional careers, and even
Top-level performance makes it easier for people to position and evaluate. For example, if Millwall's senior management issues a scouting mission, the scout sent out must be confused. He has no idea what to inspect Bell or secretly pay attention to Bell.
What should be used as the evaluation criterion? Training? That is simply too amateurish.
Now Bell is receiving football training at Southampton's satellite academy. He has reached a fork in his life, that is, his first professional contract is about to arrive.
He has his own right and can choose not to sign with Southampton, but that seems too ungrateful.
This time he comes to Millwall to play a youth team game, and Bell also plans to come here to recommend himself and have a tryout.
Although he is Welsh, football is the leader in England, and there is no controversy.
Millwall's youth training base, a place known as the cradle of superstars, is a holy place in the hearts of many young people who dream of becoming famous with one goal!
Young players who have not experienced the brutal competition in professional leagues cannot understand the difficulties involved, but if they think optimistically, if they can succeed in Millwall, then the player's value and level positioning will be very clear!
He can play the main role in the first team at Millwall. I can’t say that he is definitely in the top 10 in the world, but at least the top 100 is no problem. This also needs to distinguish players in different positions. In other words, among forwards, it doesn’t matter where Henry ranks in the world.
, but at least the top five are definitely guaranteed. People like Kaka, De Rossi and Alonso have actually risen rapidly in the competition among players in the same position. After this season, I dare not say that the top five will be guaranteed, but the top ten will definitely be.
no problem.
In other words, success at Millwall means reaching the sky in one step, but if you go to Leverkusen, Valencia, Liverpool and other teams, even if you are the boss and absolute core of the team, you will still be competing for the same position.
, maybe not even among the top ten in the world.
Aldrich didn't know why Bert didn't come out for a long time today, so he took Bell to visit the football academy.
Along the way, Bell seemed absent-minded and worried about gains and losses. He hoped to come to Millwall for a trial training. However, he was afraid of failure, but he also felt that if he succeeded, there would still be new problems.
That is, if he turns his back on Southampton, he will feel somewhat guilty in his heart.
Aldridge was good at observing people's emotions. He asked Bell directly: "What's on your mind?"
The two returned to the entrance of the academy. Before leaving, he said to Aldridge: "I want to come to Millwall for a trial, but I don't know whether I want to succeed or fail. If I succeed, I will leave Southampton."
It’s a satellite college in Dayton, but I’ve been there for a long time, so if I fail, I think I’ll be sad for a long time.”
Aldridge laughed away after hearing this, rubbed his head, and said: "Your idea is very normal, and I appreciate it too. In this way, you first go back to sign with Southampton, and then come to Millwall for a trial training. What's wrong with you?"
, which is also an extra layer of protection.”
Bell stood there and thought for a long time before he figured out what Aldrich meant.
Letting him go back and sign with Southampton is a natural result of the club's youth training system.
After signing, he will come to Millwall for a trial. If it fails, he will still be a Southampton player.
If successful, then if Millwall wants him, they will have to negotiate with Southampton.
In this way, at least he doesn't have to be caught in the middle, and secondly, it won't cause controversy between clubs.
Bell was filled with emotion while sitting on the return bus. At least for the first time he met Aldrich, he thought Aldrich was a very free and easy man who did not stick to trivial matters and did not care about trivial matters.
In fact, Millwall no longer bothers to do the kind of thing of "taking advantage of loopholes in the rules to poach people".
If it has a bad image of the club and causes controversy, annoying things will come one after another.
An absolute superstar cannot say that he will definitely be able to buy it.
But when it comes to talented players, they don't use methods outside the rules.
...
Many other children from the football school came out to go home with their parents. When it was almost dark, Aldrich had not waited for Bert to come out. He just took out his phone and wanted to call the director of the football academy, but saw
Jones, a coach in charge of teaching Bert, followed Bert over.
Aldrich's heart suddenly tightened, because he saw that Burt was dirty, carrying a schoolbag in his hand, with a bruise and scar on his face, and blood marks on the corners of his mouth, as if he had nosebleeds and wiped it horizontally with the back of his hand.
Bundle.
Bert looked calm and seemed to be in a bad mood.
Yes, if he is angry, he will be maddeningly silent and rarely burst out to vent his anger. Unlike other children, he will either cry heartbrokenly or behave like crazy.
It seemed obvious that this was a fight!
Burt didn't say hello to Aldrich when he came over. He walked directly to the parking lot and waited next to Aldrich's car.
Jones came to Aldridge and sighed: "There was an accident in the training match. Children pay too much attention to winning or losing. Burt made a big foul, which caused a conflict. They punched each other twice. It shouldn't be serious. Originally we thought
I took Bert to the medical department for a checkup, but he didn't want to."
Aldrich nodded, patted Jones' arm, and said with a smile: "It's common for children to fight. I'll leave first. Bye."
After saying goodbye to Jones, Aldrich returned to the parking lot, got into the car with Burt, and drove away without saying a word.
Halfway home, Aldrich turned to look at Bert, who was looking down in a daze, and asked: "Who won the fight?"
"I, he cried."
Bert subconsciously answered Aldrich's question.
"Then why are you unhappy?"
Aldrich rarely criticized his children. When he encountered problems, he would always find ways to "convince others with reason." Perhaps because of his education method, although his two sons sometimes got into trouble, they never
There will be a phenomenon of being reckless and unrepentant.
Bert rubbed his face with both hands, probably touching the wound where he had been punched. He twitched the corners of his mouth and took a hissing breath, saying, "Because, I feel like, I actually lost."
"Ah? Why? You defeated him and he cried. Shouldn't you be the winner?"
Bert lowered his head with a troubled expression and whispered: "It is true that I made too big a foul and kicked his leg. I was wrong first, and then I beat him to tears. I, I am like a bad guy."
."
Aldrich raised his eyebrows, smiled silently, and said: "If you go and apologize to him tomorrow, maybe you are not so bad, right?"
Burt raised his head with a look of embarrassment and looked at Aldrich.
Children also have self-esteem, and admitting their mistakes does not put much psychological burden on their elders, but admitting their mistakes to their friends is a bit embarrassing.
"Why, are you scared?"
Aldrich teased.
"What do I have to be afraid of?"
"What about your courage? Isn't it right to have the courage to admit your mistakes?"
"...I'll try my best."
Driving home, Aldrich found that Earl was not at home. Ivan said that Melanie had taken Earl to shoot a new children's commercial, and had asked for leave and planned to take Earl to travel outside.
Aldrich suddenly felt dizzy.
Earl was originally restless in school and was considered a bad student because he would always find ways to skip school. Now, Melanie could help him ask for leave from school openly. No matter what he was going to do, Earl would definitely agree to it.
After dinner, Bert went upstairs to his room, while Aldrich sat on the carpet in the living room, holding his chin up and watching his youngest daughter Bonnie playing on an electronic keyboard.
She played the piano with her fingers and listened to the sound and melody. Aldrich just watched and did not disturb her. However, as he watched, he noticed that Bonnie had an unhappy expression on her face. Finally, she pushed the electronic keyboard away and walked to Aldrich.
, raised his head and said to him: "This doesn't sound good, I want a bigger piano."
Aldrich was confused, hugged her tenderly, and asked: "What big piano, dad can't understand."
Bonnie opened her arms and drew a circle and said, "It's just a big, big piano."
At this time, Yiwen came from behind and sat next to Aldrich, snuggled up to him and said with a smile: "Take her to Anne's house to play in the afternoon. Anne's daughter is already four years old and she has to practice at home every day."
Playing the piano, Bonnie seemed obsessed with it. She played in front of the piano all afternoon, and on the way back, she clamored for a piano. I bought her an electronic keyboard just for the sake of convenience, just treating it as a toy, but I didn't expect it.
, she is not satisfied yet.”
Aldrich understood. It turned out to be a piano.
No wonder Bonnie was getting more and more unhappy when she played the electronic keyboard and listened to the melody just now. The piano's timbre was clear and sweet, which naturally made it easier for people to like it.
Aldrich, who was holding Bonnie, said casually: "Then buy her a piano."
"Haha? You won't force her to practice piano every day in the future and torture her, right?"
"No, just treat it as a toy. If she likes it, that's fine. If she doesn't like it, just put it there as a decoration. I think it might make the decoration of the home more elegant. Besides, maybe she is a talented woman?"
After finishing speaking to Ivan, Aldrich picked up Bonnie, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "Isn't that right, little Mozart?"
Bonnie asked innocently: "Who is Mozart?"
Aldrich and Yiwen looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
