In the early morning, Aldrich woke up from his sleep. It was just dawn. I wonder if it was because there was no European war. His work was easier than before, so he went to bed early at night and woke up early in the morning. Top ○
He propped up his arms and put his chin in his hands, looking down at Yiwen beside him. He stretched out his hand to gently brush away the hair that fell on his face. Yiwen turned over in a daze. Aldrich smiled softly, got out of bed lightly, washed and changed. Wearing sportswear, he was about to go out when he saw Bonnie dragging a large doll standing on the stairs. Every time he saw Bonnie dragging or holding the doll, Aldrich felt awkward, because the doll was in the right place. It was a birthday gift that Kaka gave him before, a shrunken Q version of Aldrich. After taking it home, it became Bonnie's toy and he was inseparable most of the time at home.
Aldrich raised his finger towards her in a silent gesture. Bonnie covered her mouth with her right hand, blinked her big and smart eyes, and then asked quietly: "Dad, where are you going?"
Aldrich knelt down in front of her and smiled: "Going for a run? Do you want to go together?"
Bonnie rolled her eyes, pretended to yawn, shook her head as if she hadn't woken up, and then walked towards her room again.
"Little lazy boy, I'll let you go today."
This daughter is really very different from her two brothers. Bert and Earl are both athletic boys who can't sit still at all. But Bonnie spent some time lazily in her room except practicing piano at home. After watching the animation, Aldrich noticed that she had gained some weight, and then he took her seriously and took her to exercise regardless of whether she listened or not.
He left home and went for a jog in a nearby park to get some fresh air. Aldrich wasn't listening to music. He needed to think.
When the new season was about to start, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi did not submit a transfer application, nor did they publicly express their intention to leave the team in front of the media. Aldrich was a little hurt before, but now he has at least some flexibility, at least. It didn't completely break his heart.
However, the window paper still needs to be pierced, and Aldrich plans to have a frank talk with them one last time when he returns to the club today.
When she got home, Yiwen had already prepared breakfast. She also woke up early. After Aldrich had breakfast at home, he drove to work alone.
Probably because I slept too long, I still felt a little lazy even after jogging in the morning. I bought two cups of coffee on the way, gave one to the doorman when I arrived at the club, and walked into the office with a cup of coffee.
The Community Shield will be played in two days. Today's training will start at 10 o'clock in the morning. Aldridge will arrive at the club at 8 o'clock because he has an important meeting this afternoon. He needs to organize information.
At 8:25, two cars drove into Leo's training base. The doorman was drinking coffee brought by Aldrich. He was surprised to see this scene, because for the first time, he saw Messi and Ronaldo almost coming in tandem. Arriving at the club so early, even though these two are famous for their hard work in training, it’s just too early today!
After parking the car in the parking lot, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was wearing casual clothes, and Messi, who was also wearing casual clothes, got out of the car at the same time. Their parking spaces were four spaces apart. The two of them stood there and stared at each other.
About 20 seconds later, the two took steps towards each other.
When the two stopped facing each other, they unanimously extended their right hands, held them and looked at each other with a faint smile.
In this smile, it seemed that the haze of the past few months was swept away.
It's a pity that no one around could record this scene with a video camera or camera, otherwise it would definitely become a nostalgic classic in the future.
The two of them knocked on the door of Aldrich's office together. Aldrich had just sorted out some information and was standing in front of the window overlooking the scenery. This was also a work habit he had developed to avoid getting sick from overwork.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo opened the door and walked into the office, and saw Aldridge standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. At this moment, when the sun was rising, the orange light shone into the room, making Aldridge look like a golden light.
The two closed the door, walked to the desk together, and said in unison: "Boss, good morning!"
Hearing the two people's tone of greeting and the sight of the two coming together, Aldrich seemed to realize something. He raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, his expression was as if the clouds had cleared the sky, and he suddenly felt excited, and nodded to them.
...
In the afternoon, Millwall trained as usual. When Aldridge came to the training ground with Ronaldo and Messi in his arms during the morning training, his teammates also realized that the disharmony in the team had completely disappeared. Captain DeRo
Xi lowered his head and laughed softly and cursed: "You brat."
It is not an exaggeration to say that these two people have some private interests. After all, their talents and abilities are obvious to all. Sacrifice and dedication are too noble. The stronger the ability, the richer the capital they can claim.
In the afternoon, Aldridge handed over the training to new assistant coach Pochettino.
In the summer, Millwall's player lineup has not changed, but the coaching team has undergone tremendous changes.
Villas-Boas resigned and returned to Portugal to take charge of Porto.
Blanc resigned and returned to France to take charge of Bordeaux.
Stramaccioni stayed on to take over Villas-Boas's job. In the new recruitment of assistant coaches, Pochettino, who had recently retired, came here because of his personal experience with Aldridge as Argentina's main player in the 2002 World Cup.
Argentines who have experience in fighting have long admired Aldridge. At least that disastrous defeat by Argentina had a huge impact on not only Pochettino, but also Simeone and other Argentine players. It will be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Since then, Pochettino has become a new member of Millwall's coaching staff.
There is one less coach than before, but Millwall has no Champions League duties this season. One less coach is not a big problem, and the work coordination has quickly adapted to the current situation.
Aldrich waited for the group of people to arrive in front of the office building.
Media swarmed outside the training base and two cars drove into the Millwall training base.
The protagonist who came out of the car simply said hello to the reporters and walked into Millwall's training base.
They are FIFA people.
But the person leading the team was Beckenbauer.
At the moment when Millwall takes practical action to withdraw from the European war, Millwall and UEFA are completely at odds with each other. FIFA sent a team to coordinate the matter. It is hoped that the matter can be properly resolved. If the dispute continues, it will not be good for anyone.
.
Aldrich personally welcomed Beckenbauer outside the office building, and the two then walked into Aldrich's office together.
Regarding the UEFA election a year and a half ago, Johansson failed to hold the European stronghold. Although Beckenbauer was "promoted", he was actually put on the shelf. Regarding this situation, Beckenbauer felt embarrassed and perhaps a little ashamed.
.
But Aldrich didn't feel too bad about it, thinking that history that had been settled was meaningless.
He warmly welcomed Beckenbauer and opened a bottle of good wine in the office. This meeting was not as formal as expected. Although other FIFA officials wanted to participate, Beckenbauer was blocked directly outside the door.
Emperor Bei still had some dignity, and no one dared to protest when he asked them to wait outside.
Beckenbauer originally worked in FIFA and was quite frustrated. But at this time he saw a turn for the better!
Since Blatter recently wooed him and issued him some bad checks to mediate the "civil unrest" in Europe, Beckenbauer knew what was happening in Europe, which made Blatter restless.
Because Platini is losing control of the situation.
So Beckenbauer's trip was a double-edged act. He just sat down in Aldrich's office, clinked the wine glasses with Aldridge and took a sip before handing over the cards of FIFA and UEFA.
"They plan to give some benefits to g14 in exchange for concessions from g14. Once g14 is tempted, Millwall's situation may be completely isolated."
As expected.
Aldrich has this realization.
Especially considering that it is now the summer of 2007, half a year after its original history, g14 will announce its disbandment.
Platini's strategy of adding sweet dates to a big stick, coupled with the internal divisions in g14, the existence of g14 is much weaker than before, and there is no need to continue to survive as a poisonous vampire in the eyes of a civilian team.
Now is a critical fork in the road.
Should g14 compromise with FIFA and UEFA and accept the olive branch they offer, or does it have other options to obtain more benefits?
Aldrich touched his chin and asked, "What exactly is it?"
"The big lawsuit last year, uh, was about financial compensation for clubs when players were injured in international competitions. Fifa and UEFA were willing to sign an agreement with G14 to protect the club's interests when players were injured when they were called up by the national team. This
The preliminary budget for this agreement should be in the hundreds of millions of euros."
Aldrich nodded. Last year, G14 supported Lyon in filing a lawsuit with FIFA. Unfortunately, in the end, because there were no specific legal provisions to support the victory, FIFA said no with a cold face. Rejection was the conclusion, and there was no further development.
But if FIFA and UEFA now express their willingness to discuss this issue with g14, it will be a sign of goodwill and provide g14 with new benefits that it did not have before, even though it is what g14 deserves.
This may allow G14 to compromise, give in, and agree to the conditions proposed by FIFA and UEFA.
After all, under the current system, having more interest protection is better than nothing.
Aldridge was silent for a while. He was not willing to play this kind of stick-and-stick game with UEFA or FIFA. It was too utilitarian and too explicit. Football had changed from a commodity to a political tool.
Beckenbauer suddenly asked: "What are your plans? I'm here just to hear your plans."
Aldrich saw Beckenbauer's eyes burning with excitement.
It seems that King Bei is not willing to be lonely and wants to take a dip in this muddy water. Anyway, he is really stuck in shallow water in FIFA. Maybe a little trouble can turn things around?
With a playful smile on his lips, Aldridge clinked glasses with King Bei once more, leaned in front of him and whispered: "You can help me get German clubs, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen. These three G14 members will definitely win." Support it, and I will send you back to Europe as president of UEFA!"
Beckenbauer suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the burning heat instantly became sharp.
On this day, Aldrich and Beckenbauer talked secretly for three hours. At the end, the two stood up and formally shook hands! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
