Aldrich and De Rossi were sitting on the side of the road, chatting with mineral water bottles in their hands.
De Rossi told Aldrich that originally this summer, he would go to a local amateur club in Rome for trial training and, if possible, start his career here.
Aldrich shook his head and said to him righteously: Although you are only 14 years old in the summer, receiving formal and professional football training earlier will have a great impact on your future. The training mechanisms of amateur clubs and professional clubs are completely different.
different.
In the final analysis, he was just afraid that De Rossi would go back on his word, and there was one meaning behind his words: Coming to Millwall was the most correct choice!
The two of them had been waiting on the street for almost three hours. When it was almost dark, a young man came from a distance with Aldrich's travel bag in his hand. He walked up to De Rossi and put the bag directly in his hand.
He threw it to De Rossi, then said hello to De Rossi, then turned and left.
"Is it yours?"
De Rossi handed the travel bag to Aldrich, who nodded.
When he opened his travel bag, all the neat clothes had been rummaged through, and his documents were left untouched in the mezzanine, but he didn't find his wallet.
"Is your wallet worth anything?"
When Aldrich heard De Rossi's question, he suddenly realized that his wallet was a famous brand and indeed very valuable.
He sighed with regret, not because of the wallet, but because there was a very old group photo inside. It was a family photo taken when he was eleven years old and still living in an old house in East London.
The camera in the travel bag was also missing. Only the film was left.
The robber brother is really interesting. He returned all the useless things.
Aldrich picked up his travel bag and said to De Rossi: "I have to go to the bank. You go home and wait for me. I know your home. I'll take the car there later."
De Rossi nodded, he also wanted to go home and tell his father about his decision.
The two separated for the time being.
Although Aldrich lost his wallet, he still had his documents, and since this was Rome, the bank that held the card had a branch. He went to apply for a replacement card and withdraw some money.
After he completed these procedures, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and he took a car to De Rossi's home.
As soon as he got out of the car, he heard De Rossi and his son arguing, and the scene made Aldrich's scalp numb.
De Rossi was also carrying a travel bag, and half of his body rushed out of the door. The old De Rossi grabbed the travel bag in his son's hand with an angry look on his face.
"Roma, Roma, you always say that my future belongs to Roma! But I will be 14 years old soon. Has any coach of the Roma team extended an invitation to me? No! Don't impose your loyalty on me!
"
"No, no, no. You will be spotted by Roma, you will! Even if you don't want to play in an amateur team, you don't have to go to England!"
"Why not? Mr. Hall has been chasing me for two years, and his sincerity touches me far more than the Rome in your mouth! He was even robbed today for coming to see me!"
Old De Rossi's expression was stunned. At this moment, he suddenly saw Aldrich standing in the distance.
Aldrich was a little embarrassed, feeling as if he was a criminal who came to steal someone else's son.
He had to step forward and said to little De Rossi: "Daniele, calm down first. Your father must also be thinking about you. Let's communicate calmly."
Both father and son calmed down a bit, and then invited Aldrich to sit in the house.
Old De Rossi looked sad and his eyes kept wandering on Aldrich's face.
From time to time, I glanced at my son who looked a little cold.
"Mr. Hall, why do you value my son so much?"
Regardless of his father's identity and background, the elder De Rossi actually didn't think his son had any special talents.
This is also normal. Many superstar-level players do not show their unprecedented talents from the moment they can play football.
Some players may only improve by leaps and bounds at the age of 15, 17, or 20, and then quickly become famous, especially players who are not good at foot skills. At this point, Latin or
Players who focus on foot skills become famous earlier and are labeled as talents earlier. For example, many South American players, such as Joe Cole in the Millwall youth team, young players are famous, and most of them are
Because of the ball feel and technical ability.
Comprehensive ability evaluations such as Nedvěd, Ballack, etc. will show how outstanding stars they are. Before the age of 20, they will naturally appear invisible to everyone.
De Rossi also belongs to this type of player. His skills with his feet are not gorgeous, his body is still developing, his ability to read the game is impossible, and his characteristics are not very obvious.
Half of what Aldridge said to De Rossi was a lie.
He does have a video of De Rossi playing in the Roma community team, but just watching the 12- or 13-year-old De Rossi play will not make a few coaches think how outstanding he is.
Because of this, even though the elder De Rossi is a Roma player, Roma's low-level youth echelon still has not opened the door to the young De Rossi.
Italy's youth training mechanism is relatively complete, which is related to their restrictions on foreign aid. For example, Juventus, in addition to the adult team, has 11 subordinate echelons of various age groups, Inter Milan has 10, and Roma has 8!
If those U14 and U16 young players show their unique touch and skills early on, they will be recruited by the lower age groups.
Of course, the Roma team also has an echelon that matches De Rossi's age, but the youth team is currently looking down on him.
Only when he grows up and shows better overall abilities than his peers will he be chosen by the Roma youth team.
And now most of the "talented players" who are his age, to be honest, many of them look like future "superstars". It's just that the more this happens, the more these players become obsessed with their own skills and ignore other aspects of their abilities.
Improvement, when they become adults, they still feel bad about playing football
Wrong, but you can only play static football. In the intense and intense adult team games, these players have very few opportunities to touch the ball. Because others do not need to be better than him in foot skills, as long as they know how to move better than him, and are better at running.
If you know how to use your body to fight, you can stand out in the comprehensive ability evaluation.
It's like street football performers whose ability to "play ball" is simply superb, but can these people play professional football? I'm afraid they can't even protect themselves. If they can't play three games, they will definitely be injured and leave the field.
"Mr. De Rossi, have you ever heard about Millwall?"
Aldridge was silent for a moment. He felt that he could not make too many remarks about De Rossi's talent that were not in line with the reality at hand. Because that would sound false, especially if asked about specific details.
Qi was completely speechless.
Does that mean his football skills are better?
Are you in better physical condition?
Or other qualities?
No matter what the emphasis is, there are a large number of young players among his peers who are better than De Rossi.
The old De Rossi nodded and said: "I did start paying attention to Millwall two years ago. You have achieved results that are worth being proud of."
Aldridge waved his hand and said: "No, you misunderstood. I am not bragging or emphasizing my coaching achievements. Now that you have a certain understanding of Millwall, then. I want to ask you, what do you think of Ned?
Wade Ballack, Lampard, how talented are these three players?"
Old De Rossi frowned. These three players came from different countries, but in terms of their playing characteristics, there was really nothing outstanding about them.
In other words, if the three general qualities of defense, organization, and offense are compared separately, there will be players of the same age who are better than them. If the full score is 10 points, maybe their average score is 8 points, but
None of them can get full marks.
But it is players like this who make Millwall's midfield extremely powerful, capable of both offense and defense.
In particular, the skills of these three people are absolutely not "gorgeous".
Seeing the other party's silence, Aldrich knew that he had begun to understand what he wanted to express.
"In the eyes of other coaches, before they achieve success, their talent evaluation will be average, but in my eyes, they are geniuses and will be the template for future football players. At least at Millwall, two players have already
Proved their value, you can say that Nedvěd does not play gorgeously, but no one can deny his importance to the team, you can also say that Nedved
Luck is sometimes inconspicuous in the midfield, but he really makes my team's midfield strong. Here, 14-year-old De Rossi looks no different from other kids, but in my eyes, he will become a
He is the mainstay of a team and an indispensable key figure, so I want to take him to London to train him personally and stimulate his potential that has not been discovered by the outside world."
Old De Rossi closed his eyes and meditated. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at his son. He had a stubborn look on his face.
"Okay, let him go to Millwall for football training."
The old De Rossi's plan is probably to let his son receive football training and then play for Roma after he returns from school.
Aldrich can naturally guess what the other person is thinking without revealing it.
Anyway, when De Rossi turns 16, Millwall will directly offer him a professional contract. Even if Italian clubs want him, they cannot sign a professional contract at the age of 16. When De Rossi turns 18, he will already be in London.
For four years, loyalty is reciprocal. Players are loyal to the club and naturally require the same sincerity from the club.
As the saying goes, "You treat me like a countryman, and I will repay you as a countryman."
The elder De Rossi was very interested in the characteristics of the three players mentioned by Aldridge, and asked Aldridge to stay at home overnight, and the two discussed the topic in depth.
Aldrich elaborated on the idea of "blurring and diversifying player roles", which is the future trend in football.
Early the next morning, Aldrich and De Rossi left Rome.
They both carried travel bags and traveled together.
Anyway, little De Rossi had nothing to do, he didn't need to go to trial training, and Aldrich was alone, so he took this kid with him on the road.
With Van der Meyde, Gudjohnsen, Miroslav Klose, and De Rossi now by his side, Aldrich has had a smooth journey in the summer, winning consecutive battles, and his confidence is bursting.
So he happily continued to poach, hoping to take away more stars of hope from Italy.
But over the course of a week, Aldrich repeatedly hit the wall and suffered a series of blows.
While sitting on the train to Florence, Aldrich held his chin listlessly and sighed.
De Rossi was drinking juice and seeing Aldrich being hit, he added insult to injury: "Haha, those clubs won't dump you!"
Aldrich rubbed his temples and sighed: "Actually, it's normal. I was mentally prepared before I came out, but the difference between the front and back is too big."
In fact, all Aldridge visited in Italy over the past week were first-tier clubs.
None of the target players are unknowns.
But they are all young.
During this period, Italy had many outstanding young players. The Italian youth team led by Paolo Maldini won three consecutive European Youth Championships. Among the three generations of players in 1992, 1994 and 1996, there were many star players who would shine in top competitions in the next fifteen years.
And these players are also distributed in Italy's first-tier clubs or wealthy clubs. Aldrich was overconfident and went to poach these teams, but naturally he hit a wall and returned.
But it's not that all teams don't let people go, it's just that the Lions are opening their mouths.
When Pirlo was sold to Millwall for more than one million pounds, the Italians felt that Brescia did a good job. After all, Brescia's current situation allowed them to make a fortune, but even in a wealthy club, in 1995,
This transfer won't be too high, after all, Pirlo is too young and has never proven anything.
But looking at Pirlo two years later, the Italians felt that Brescia had done something wrong. The person who was sold for more than one million pounds had his net worth increased at least five times two years later.
Therefore, when Aldrich dealt with Italy's first-tier clubs, they would offer players no less than three million pounds if they were willing to sell them.
If it were Nesta Buffon's three million, Aldrich would definitely give him the money, but it would be absolutely impossible for him to sell it. Even if he sold it, it would probably be impossible without selling it seven to eight times.
And asking Aldridge to spend at least 3 million pounds to buy players like Barambila and Satello who are almost impossible to find in the future, Aldridge would rather spend the money and enjoy it. At least the money is worth it.
