The World Cup is in full swing, and Aldridge cannot attend every game. He will only go to a few games selectively. Even the England team's games, he does not attend every game.
At the end of the group stage, Aldrich took his daughter Bonnie to the world-famous Ruhr Industrial Area to tour Dortmund, the area under its jurisdiction.
Because there will also be World Cup games here, there will naturally be paparazzi, so in order to avoid being recognized, Aldrich put on a disguise. Under the surprised gaze of his daughter Bonnie, Aldrich put on his beard and wore it.
Sunglasses, and a trendy T-shirt and shorts, people can't associate him with the young handsome man who usually appears in the camera in suits and ties.
Bonnie insisted on putting on makeup, so Aldridge put on a small baseball cap for her and applied two layers of red and white makeup on her face. Then the father and daughter started to swim in Dortmund without caring about the eyes of others.
.
While racing on the street, Aldrich let her ride on his head. Bonnie held snacks in her hands and fed Aldrich a bite from time to time. When she saw something interesting in the landscape, she directed Aldrich to come closer and take a look.
Aldridge came to Dortmund this time for a purpose. Before coming to Germany, Aldridge took a look at the intelligence updates from the club's scouting network and discovered that there was a rising star in Germany who could be taken to Millwall.
Well, bring it, not dig it.
After asking enthusiastic passers-by in Dortmund, Aldrich arrived at the family's door with his daughter.
He knocked on the door and waited for a while. Someone opened the door. It was a middle-aged man, and there was a young woman standing next to him. They should have a father-daughter relationship. The middle-aged man asked curiously: "Hello. May I ask?
Who to look for?"
Aldrich held Bonnie's hand and smiled: "Hello, I am Aldrich Hall from England. Is this the Royce family here?"
"Aldrich Hall?"
"Aldrich Hall!"
"Liar! Do you think we are fools?"
The middle-aged man just asked a question, but the daughter beside him raised her voice, cast her eyes suspiciously on Aldrich's face, and immediately insisted that Aldrich was a liar.
At this time, another young woman walked to the door and asked curiously: "Aldrich Hall? Is he that knight from England?"
"Really or not?"
Finally, Royce appeared. With his thin arms and thin legs, Royce looked frail. He leaned out from between the two sisters and looked at the Aldrich father and daughter suspiciously.
Aldrich took off his glasses in front of them, tore off his disguised beard, rubbed his face, put down his hands and smiled at them.
In addition to Royce's mother, his father, and two sisters, this family includes Royce himself, who has a big mouth and a look of disbelief.
This trick has become a bit unexpected!
"Sir Howl!"
Royce shouted, and his father reacted and quickly moved out of the way to allow Aldrich to enter the home.
Aldrich asked Bonnie to greet people. Bonnie greeted the family politely, and Aldrich explained to them the reason for his disguise before sitting down in the living room.
As soon as he sat down, Royce's father couldn't wait to ask: "Sir Hall, you came to the door in person. Do you think Millwall wants to sign my son Marco?"
Aldrich turned his attention to Royce, who was a little restless at the moment, nodded slightly and said: "We have been paying attention to Marco for a long time. Recently, we have been tracking his performance and found that he was defeated by the Dortmund B team, er, U17 team.
When it comes to abandonment, I guess his development in the Dortmund youth training system is not smooth, so I think, at this time, Marco will need a new choice, and Millwall is willing to be his second home."
Royce lowered his head, the excitement of meeting Aldrich for the first time passed, and his face turned gloomy.
Dortmund's U17 team won the league championship at the same level last season, but he was abandoned by the U17 coach because he was too thin.
He asked softly: "Sir Hall, I have many teammates who are performing very well. Why don't you go to them?"
Although Royce was a little disappointed, his mentality was still optimistic, so he would not rush to grab a life-saving straw like a drowning person.
Just as his childhood dream was to be a pilot and travel around the world, but things didn't go well in Dortmund, so he just wanted to change places.
Aldridge smiled and said: "Yes, some of your teammates seem to be better than you, such as Mario Gotze, but Millwall cannot sign him. He is a player that Dortmund focuses on training, but you are not,
Millwall can sign you, and I want to make it clear here that Millwall will do their best to sign a player.
Concerns, especially for foreign players, if possible, we are willing to sign Gotze, but there are many obstacles between us and Gotze, but there are no obstacles between Millwall and you, and there will not even be any between clubs.
transfer, because your contract expires in the summer, you are free and unowned, you can come
England is developing, and in my opinion, this is a valuable asset that Millwall has picked up. Come to Millwall, you have talent, what you lack is acquired training, what is Millwall’s youth training system like?
, I think if you are interested, you can go and take a look for yourself. We welcome you at any time. As long as you are willing to come, call
Give us a call and we will book round-trip air tickets and hotels for your family. We will cover all expenses. Also, Millwall will not give up on a player easily, at least not because of things that can be improved the day after tomorrow, such as your lack of physical fitness.
Being strong and giving up on you, it can be improved, and as long as you work hard, you can succeed."
Royce stared at Aldrich blankly, and his understatement made him sound like he was possessed.
The two sisters seemed unwilling to let their brother go abroad, so someone said: "Marco doesn't like cold and humid environments. He likes sunny and warm places."
Aldrich smiled disapprovingly, not wanting to quarrel with the young man, but simply said: "What we are talking about is not the world where 99% of the people on this planet live, but the football field, the green world, Millwall in
London, London belongs to the United Kingdom, what does this mean? Marco should be able to understand that in the past, there were indeed stars who suffered from the weather and environment.
Due to environmental reasons, they left London and went to a place where life is comfortable all year round. What then? In the green world, they actually went from a sunny place to an extremely cold place. Marco, the gate of Millwall faces
You are open. If you are willing to come, you can call me at any time. This is my business card. I'm sorry for bothering you. Goodbye."
Having said this, Aldrich personally came to the door to show great sincerity. He would not preach anything again. The choice was in Royce's own hands. He had never drank a sip of water and smiled with his daughter Bonnie.
Bid farewell to Royce and his family, and played in Dortmund for a while before going to Berlin to meet Ivan and his family.
After the World Cup in Germany, Reus went to England alone and joined the Millwall youth team.
...
July 1, World Cup Stadium in Gelsenkirchen, northern Ruhr area.
Aldridge sat in the commentary box of Sky Sports, commentating with Andy Gray and Martin Taylor on the quarter-final match between England and Portugal.
"England seems to be stumbling in this World Cup, and the scenes are not as smooth and smooth as before. Sir Hall, what do you think is the problem for the England team? Today we faced Portugal and we did not seem to have the upper hand, and we are the defending champions.
!”
Aldrich served as the guest commentator, so he didn't have too many worries and just talked about everything.
"The England team has lost the balance on the field. We have returned to the previous 442. Redknapp has his considerations. It is understandable. There is Joe Cole on the left and David on the right. The impact of both wings should be used
It can create a considerable threat, but in the midfield, I think it is difficult for Lampard and Gerrard to reach a balance. If one striker is removed and the two of them are replaced casually,
Putting people on top may make the situation better, just like Benitez began to use Gerrard as a shadow striker in Liverpool, and Lampard's forward awareness is his advantage, which cannot be said about the two players.
Who is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is bad, the key lies in the coach's strategy and formation, how to maximize the players' strengths, avoid weaknesses being exploited by opponents, and enrich the offense at the same time."
In the 62nd minute of the game, there was a sudden change on the field.
Rooney stepped on Carvalho's groin. Ronaldo immediately stepped forward to put pressure on the referee. Rooney pushed Ronaldo in anger and was immediately shown a red card by the referee!
In the commentary box, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor looked at Aldridge together. The fans from England had already begun to boo Ronaldo.
Aldridge took a deep breath and shook his head: "So uncool! Too reckless! He is completely out of rhythm entering the World Cup! Maybe he should follow Sir Alex Ferguson's advice and not come injured to participate in the World Cup. He should stay in the UK.
As a member of the defending champion, he stepped on his opponent. That action could have been completely avoided! And then he pushed his opponent and got a red card. There is no dispute!"
"Sir Hall, you think Rooney deserved his red card, don't you?"
Aldridge stretched out his hand, gesturing in the direction of the court, and said of course: "Shouldn't it be a red card? Such trampling is allowed on the court? What's wrong with Ronaldo? He was wearing a Portugal jersey and his teammates were trampled. Didn't he
It’s time to step forward to demand justice for your teammates and put pressure on the referee. This is nowhere to be found in England, Europe, and on stadiums around the world. Isn’t this normal?”
At the first moment, Aldridge expressed his position, resolutely defended Ronaldo, and criticized Rooney's performance mercilessly.
Yes, Rooney performed very badly. He was like a raging bull, rampaging on the field, and the anxiety in his heart was written on his face. Everyone knew, how could he play well in this way? How could he carry England's big team?
flag?
But Fleet Street may not see it that way, and England fans may not see it that way either.
At this time, Ronaldo, who was being booed by the English fans in the stadium, looked stubborn, as if he wanted to become the enemy of all the British fans. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
