238 As soon as the golden mouth opens, the meal comes
Aldridge had thought Millwall's success last season would give him some face from Fleet Street.
Even if the four first-team players introduced by Millwall are penniless, at least they should be given some face, right?
We'll take a photo, ask a few symbolic questions, the reporters will talk to Aldrich, and we'll finish the scene.
Unexpectedly, the scene suddenly became cold.
These reporters are so damn realistic!
He didn't expect these four players to be so prosperous when they came here, but if they were reduced to such a cold reception, not only would the players feel uncomfortable, but Aldridge would also feel that his face was lost.
"Ahem."
In the silent scene, Aldridge coughed twice, then raised a smile and turned to talk to the team's four rookies.
"When Napoleon was ten years old, because of his origin, language accent and personality, he became the target of bullying in boarding school. French teenagers ridiculed him and laughed at everything he did, including his name."
When Aldrich spoke, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed. The reporters all turned into "good students". While listening to his words, they wrote furiously to record every word he said.
They came here just for the news, and Millwall's four signings had been announced before, and there was nothing to hype about. The reason why the place was packed, and the reputable media in Fleet Street all sent reporters here, why?
?
Of course, they either came to see these four new players, or they came for Aldrich.
My brother, you make us want to die!
In the lonely summer of 1997, they were barely able to eat. The most popular news figure in the English football circle was no longer a certain star, but the young coach.
However, nearly two months have passed since Aldridge disappeared from the world. The last time reporters saw him, they blocked him in front of his house to ask his opinion on Cantona's retirement.
A group of football reporters in Fleet Street waited with eyes wide open, hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally Aldridge returned.
When they heard that Millwall was going to hold a press conference, they were so excited that they even threw flowers to celebrate.
But after arriving here, they were shocked to find that Millwall had just officially announced the joining of four new players.
The reporters were extremely fed up: We have been waiting for two months, and you give us this news? No, this is not news, this is waste paper printed in newspapers that people only use as toilet paper.
However, as soon as the young marshal opened his mouth, the reporters immediately became energetic and licked their mouths with joy in their hearts: Let’s eat!
"Before the age of sixteen, Napoleon was ostracized and discriminated against. His annual assessment reviews would contain conclusions that were detrimental to his future. But what did he do? He laughed at those who ridiculed him, and did not interact with those teenagers who wasted time laughing at him.

Military Academy. He made full use of all the advantages provided by the Military Academy, no matter how humble he was. He read a lot of books without sleep and food. This road was destined to be lonely, so in deep thought, he had the idea of giving up, and even
I had suicidal thoughts.”
Aldrich's narration deeply attracted the three of Van der Meyde, Duff and Gudjohnsen, while Klose had a wry smile on his face.
Boss, I don’t understand very well. My English has not passed CET-6.
"But he defeated everything, the external environment and the inner devil. By the time he was 22 years old, Napoleon had mastered knowledge that ordinary people could not master in 30 or 40 years, and wrote countless articles of practical significance, many of which exposed his ambitions.
grand strategy and
Political reform plan. I think everyone knows the next story. He turned from an Italian son to an Italian father. The French people who laughed at and ostracized him, and the ladies who despised him and would not recruit him as their son-in-law.
, and in the end, you must respectfully call him emperor."
After Aldridge finished speaking, he smiled towards the audience, then turned to the four rookies and said: "When Trezeguet came, some people said he was a wild boy from Argentina. When Pirlo came, some people said he was a wild boy from Argentina.
You will be scared to tears. Many players were not favored by the media when they arrived, but Millwall has one reliable player after another.
Napoleon who works diligently to discover his talents and prove himself, as long as you can calm down and devote all your energy to struggle, you can also become Napoleon, because our goal is to become the emperor of Europe! If one day we do it, then we will
Change the goal: Avoid becoming Napoleon at Waterloo."
As soon as he finished speaking, laughter erupted from the scene.
Some reporters laughed, some smiled bitterly and shook their heads, and some sighed.
I can't help but be dissatisfied with this young commander.
Their stories sound like they are encouraging their players, but why do they sound like they are scolding them for being short-sighted and blind to gold and jade?
There was a bit of humor at the end.
This kind of press conference is so powerful.
Everyone understood this tacitly, and the news was in hand.
The young marshal encouraged his disciples with allusions to Napoleon.
Isn't this very good news?
In exchange of courtesy, they all began to ask some innocuous questions.
Ask these players how they feel after coming to Millwall, their future ambitions, and whether they are used to life in the UK.
Anyway, they were just wasting their time building relationships to give Aldrich face.
As for the four players who answered seriously, what they said will probably be mentioned in the newspaper tomorrow.
Things like "The rookie is looking forward to the future" and "I'm happy to play for Aldridge."
The main theme of the press conference was over, and the reporters focused on Aldridge again.
David Miller of The Times raised his hand and asked: "Mr. Hall, I have a question. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to answer."
"You ask first, is it convenient or not? How would I know if you don't ask?"
"Well, this is the case. I am writing an academic article about Millwall's great success last season. There is a phenomenon that I want to find the answer to from you. Millwall fought on four fronts last season, but your players
Players from first-tier clubs in the Premier League and even Europe have the fewest injuries. Even if a player is injured, the recovery period is also the shortest. In this regard, does Millwall have any successful experience that English clubs can learn from?"
In Aldridge's eyes, journalist David Miller has much better taste, and his writing style is also professional, rather than eye-catching news just for the sake of sensationalism.
For example, when he first saw Cruyff playing at Ajax, he compared Cruyff to "Pythagoras in sneakers." Ordinary people read his articles and
Sometimes I find it too difficult to understand. If you don't know that Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher, you won't be able to understand what he compared Cruyff to.
Aldridge thought for a moment and said: "There are basically three reasons. First, the players' training mechanism allows them to have strong bodies and reduce the chance of injury in fierce competitions. Second, reasonable rest. Young players should not compete.
Frequently, and when I use them, before the game if there are players
If I feel slightly unwell, I won't risk using them. Of course, sometimes players will hide their discomfort in order to play. This requires coaches to observe the player's status more carefully. Third, our medical system, I can proudly say,
Millwall's healthcare system is the best in Europe."
"Why are you so sure?"
"Because there is comparability."
"What's the meaning?"
"How many team doctors does Manchester United have? What is its annual budget for the medical system?"
David Miller frowned and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't exceed 200,000 pounds."
"Even if it is 200,000 pounds, Millwall's annual budget is at least five to ten times that. We have a medical team of more than 50 people and eight officially licensed sports medicine experts. Even so
, I think it is not enough, because this still cannot ensure that every injury that occurs to players is diagnosed without error."
The reporters present were shocked.
Millwall's annual medical budget will be so high!
David Miller's frown deepened.
"What are your considerations for building such a high-standard medical department? I mean, if other teams have a budget of one million to two million pounds, they can bring in a good player.
You can also pay more to the players to retain them, and for Millwall, which has hundreds of millions of pounds in debt, even if this money is not used for signings, it should be saved first, right?"
Other reporters nodded frequently, agreeing with Miller's view.
Aldrich swallowed the news and shook his head: "If you want to calculate the economic benefits, the account should be calculated like this. If a player worth five million pounds is injured and does not receive the most correct diagnosis and treatment, suppose he
If it is destroyed, the club will lose five million pounds, plus his salary and the incidental value that may increase in the future. If
He could have recovered in three months, but it took half a year to recover due to improper treatment. Then the club still lost the money that lacked his strength and salary in these three months. However, I think this is not Milwall
My original intention is to spend money to build a medical department. I respect my players. They deserve the best care and the club has an obligation.
Let them stay healthy, and as we all know, football is a closed circle, and team doctors are also part of the club. Player injuries can only be treated by team doctors unless they encounter major injuries. In many other cases, players seem to have just strains or ligament inflammation.
Common symptoms may not be as simple as they appear on the surface, and some may not have enough professional knowledge.
A knowledgeable team doctor will misdiagnose, which not only damages the interests of the club, but also shows contempt for the health of the players. The club has kidnapped the will of the players. Some players even endure the pain and cannot go to other places for medical treatment. Otherwise, it is a betrayal of the club.
, and some quack doctors, in order to keep their jobs, will not reveal the truth truthfully even if they cannot diagnose injuries."
The scene suddenly fell silent again, and the person with the most excited expression was Gudjohnsen.
There are quacks in Eindhoven!
They couldn't diagnose his disease, and they never thought of sending him to a more professional medical institution. When it really couldn't cure him, they kicked him out!
Despite Millwall's huge investment in the medical department, it is actually an investment that is sure to make a profit.
For example, if you bring back Gudjohnsen without spending a penny, it is equivalent to getting at least one million pounds for nothing. As long as he trains hard and relies on his talent, there is no problem that his value will rise to five million pounds.
Ensuring the health of players means generating revenue for the club, because only healthy players can improve faster and appreciate faster.
David Miller did not ask this question further because the relationships involved are complex, including traditional clubs' distrust of outside doctors. The club prefers to use loyalty rewards to allow non-professionals to serve as team doctors to ensure that all the club's information
No information will be leaked, including player injury information.
"Mr. Hall, thank you for your honest answer. I will publish your views in my article. To be honest, I admire your attitude and behavior of caring for players. Other clubs should also follow Millwall's example and let
Professionals do professional things.”
Aldrich smiled and nodded at David Miller. He really hoped that the other party would publish what he just said, and other reporters had better publish it too.
Although he will offend many colleagues, he will win the hearts of many players and make more players willing to join his team.
What's more, it is a general trend to use professional doctors to serve as team doctors. In a few years, the Football Association will clearly stipulate that professional club team doctors must be professionals with sports medicine licenses.
