Aldrich, who has been traveling around Europe since he was a child, is used to traveling alone, but after "traveling thousands of miles", when he is now 21 years old, he encounters the hardship of traveling for the first time in his life.
robbery!
Italy, city of Rome.
Summer has arrived, but Aldrich is still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, carrying a medium-sized travel bag and walking on the streets of Rome, looking down at the address on the note in his hand from time to time.
The weather was slightly hot. He stood at the corner of the street, put down his travel bag, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He regretted not taking a taxi because he came to Italy by train and planned to go to Rome after arriving in Rome.
Take a walk for some time to exercise.
The idea is always good, but he ignored the hot weather.
Just when he was hesitating whether to call a taxi with less than two kilometers left, someone suddenly rushed from behind him on this street with few pedestrians, and quickly pushed him away as he passed by.
Take it with you in your travel bag.
Aldrich was confused for a moment, and then he chased after him reflexively.
The boy who snatched his bag looked young and not very fast. Aldrich was full of confidence: Our physical fitness is nothing to say, we can beat you three times from 100 meters! Running a marathon can even kill you nine lives!
But with his head burning, the young marshal confusedly followed the robber boy into a back street. The road was narrow and there was no one around. As soon as Aldrich rushed in and ran less than ten meters, the boy in front stopped.
, and turning around, Aldrich suddenly felt something was not good, and quickly turned around and ran outside. As a result, the sight that greeted him made him give up resistance helplessly.
As expected, they formed a team to rob him.
Two people, one behind and one behind, surrounded him, with knives in their hands.
Grass!
He had forgotten that although this was not Sicily, the street crime rate had always been alarmingly high.
Surrender.
Aldrich's calves were a little weak, and he was really afraid that he would be stabbed by the stupid robbers, so he simply put his hands up in a gesture of surrender, and did not call for help for fear of angering the two young men.
The two young robbers held knives in one hand. They asked Aldrich to take out his wallet and take off his watch, but they did not ask him for his mobile phone. He probably didn't see it or didn't intend to steal it. After all, this gadget is updated quickly and is popular.
It’s fast and the goods on the street are very cheap.
"Brother Mafia, give me some face, take the money, and leave your ID and wallet for me. What do you think?"
After Aldrich finished speaking in English, he realized that the two boys seemed not to understand. He hurriedly said it again in Italian, but before he finished speaking, the two boys took his wallet, put on his watch, and carried
His travel bag disappeared without a trace.
"Asshole!"
Aldrich took two symbolic steps after him, and then walked out of the street dejectedly. He sat alone and miserable on the side of the road, stroking his forehead with one hand and thinking about what to do next.
Call the police?
Is it useful?
Now that I am penniless, I might as well take out my cell phone and call for help.
He took out his cell phone and thought about who to call, his family? It would definitely cause an uproar, and maybe all his family members would rush to Rome to "sympathize" with him.
There's no need to make things bigger.
It's better to ask a friend for help.
When he was about to dial Brady's number, he found that there was another person beside him. He turned his head and looked at him, and his eyes met with the other person's. Both of them looked slightly surprised.
"Mr. Hall?"
"De Rossi! It's so hard for me to find you!"
Aldrich was on the verge of tears.
The young man standing next to him with a surprised look on his face was exactly the person he was looking for during his trip to Rome: Daniele De Rossi.
The two met once two years ago. At first, neither De Rossi nor his son took Aldrich seriously, thinking that this young man was crazy and crazy.
Unexpectedly, in two years, Millwall not only won the Premier League championship, but also became a blockbuster in the European competition.
The most important thing is that under Aldridge, four Italian players, Zambrotta, Materazzi, Pirlo, and Gattuso, have grown up. Tony is not successful yet, but the introduction of five Italian players can
Hitting four is already incredible, and it also reflects Aldridge's ability.
As a result, De Rossi and his son began to take Aldridge seriously, especially De Rossi, who was fascinated by Millwall's football.
Aldrich couldn't laugh or cry at this time. He originally went to find De Rossi, but he was robbed on the way. After being robbed, De Rossi appeared in front of him as if he fell from the sky.
What kind of magic is this?
"Uh, why are you here?"
Aldrich asked in a strange way, seeming to find it incredible.
De Rossi pointed to the distance and said: "My home is over there. I am walking on the way home. I will appear here almost every day."
Aldrich blinked and sighed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Aldrich sat down with some shame and said sheepishly: "I was robbed."
De Rossi sat down next to him, shrugged and said: "It's a normal thing. If you have a few companions, the chance of being robbed in a place with few people is not too high. Do you need my help?"
"What can you do for me? Call the police? Forget it, I don't want to go to the police station. It's just a formality."
De Rossi looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "What were you robbed of?"
"A travel bag, a wallet, and a watch. Money doesn't matter. I just want my ID and the credit card in my wallet. Damn, I almost forgot. Wait a minute. I'll make a call to freeze my card first."
Aldrich immediately called his bank and froze several cards in his wallet.
"If you just want the documents, it's not a big problem. If it's something else of no value, getting it back depends on your luck."
"Why depend on luck?"
"Because it's not valuable, it may have been thrown away."
"Do you know the robber here?"
"Well, let's just say, let me borrow your cell phone."
Aldrich obediently handed the phone to De Rossi. The other party made a call and talked for a long time. Finally, the phone was returned to Aldrich. He said: "Now, wait."
Aldrich looked around for a while, and finally his eyes returned to De Rossi. After observing for a moment, he smiled and said: "You have grown up a lot in the past two years. Haha, you have become a talented person. It is not like when we met the year before last. You are obviously still the same."
A child.”
De Rossi also stared at Aldrich and asked: "Mr. Hall, I'm curious, when I was a kid in your mouth, why did you want me to join your team? Your team obviously needs it.
He is a player of his prime."
Aldridge sighed and said: "But I can't afford stars, so I can only train stars myself. Maybe you don't believe that when you were a child, the video of you playing in the Rome community team was already on my
on my desk. I have an agent brother. You have seen it too, just
It's the man who came here with me the year before last. He searches for geniuses all over the world, and you are one of the people he discovered. I think you have talent and I am optimistic about your future, so I want to take you to London.
When you grow up you will be a leader at Millwall."
De Rossi's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You want me to be the captain?"
Aldridge waved his hand and said: "This is not necessarily true, because in a sense, the captain is not selected based on his strength, but must have many qualities, such as influence within the team, ability to unite, appeal, fighting spirit, and style example.
Yes, strength is not the standard, what I said
A leader, that is to say, uh, according to your age, after about seven or eight years, you will become the benchmark for players of the same age group. Others will aim to surpass you and be proud of being able to match your strength. It is roughly like this
It means, but it also needs to have a certain leadership role.”
De Rossi held up his chin and asked, "Do you think so highly of me?"
"Don't you have the confidence to be a great player yourself?"
"Haha, I've only dreamed about it, but it's strange for me to have someone say this to me. Mr. Hall, I think you are amazing."
Aldrich was used to being praised by others, but being praised in front of the young De Rossi made him feel a little awkward.
He laughed dryly and asked, "Why do you say that? The Italian media was still laughing at me two years ago."
De Rossi said lightly: "In two years, in two years, the trophies you won with Millwall will be half of the total trophies won by Roma in its 70-year history."
Aldrich scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
In Roma's 70-year history, they have only two league titles, seven domestic cup titles, and one Fairs Cup title, the predecessor of the UEFA Cup.
Although among Aldridge's five championship trophies, the League Cup seems insignificant, the FA Cup championship for two consecutive years and the Premier League and European Cup Winners' Cup championships are full of gold.
"Oh, it's nothing. Media outside the UK say that England is less competitive. For example, Millwall winning the championship only shows the decline of England's traditional giants, not how strong we are."
"Really? Manchester United reached the Champions League semi-finals last season, Millwall eliminated Paris Saint-Germain, a regular fixture in the European semi-finals, in the European Cup Winners' Cup semi-finals, and defeated Barcelona in the final. I watched all these games.
Millwall is very strong and the game is very passionate and makes people’s blood boil.”
Aldridge rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Are you interested in coming to Millwall for football training now?"
De Rossi turned to stare at him and said with a faint smile: "Do you just want me to go to London for football training?"
Aldrich's expression was gloomy. This guy was as smart as a brat.
"Well, to be honest, I came to you today just because I want you to join the Millwall youth team. As long as you are willing, when you are 16 years old, I will give you a professional contract. As long as you are willing, Millwall will be in the future.
There is a place for you and you can retire at Millwall if you want..."
At the end of the sentence, Aldrich's face became a little gloomy.
De Rossi asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Aldridge sighed: "I hope to build Millwall into a super giant, but many players do not have the patience and confidence. I will never be stingy with what I can give them, but every year, there will always be someone
Leaving me, I felt like, well, I spent my time shopping for groceries and went to the kitchen to make a table of delicious food, waiting for my beloved girl to come and taste it together. When the girl came and said to me: Thank you, and then invited me
Leaving, she invites other men to enjoy the meal with her..."
Pfft, hahahaha.
De Rossi was amused and laughed wildly.
Aldrich held his chin and looked at the clouds in the sky, thinking: Who can accompany me to the end?
Thinking about this question now, there will be no answer. The only answer lies in the hands of time.
De Rossi patted his butt and stood up and said to Aldrich: "Mr. Hall, well, I have decided. I will go to Millwall. Are you thirsty? I will buy you a bottle of water. When you have money, Invite me to a feast."
Aldrich looked stunned. When De Rossi crossed the street to buy a drink from the store opposite, he came to his senses, opened his arms and shouted: "Hey, boy, you can't go back on your word! This is a promise between men. ah!"
He was really afraid that this boy was just teasing him.
De Rossi turned around and frowned and said: "Don't be like this, you look stupid! Don't worry, I'm not kidding you. You are a person who was just robbed. Don't mention the word man, okay?"
Aldrich was instantly petrified and speechless. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
