The club was supposed to be on holiday on the first day of the new year, but Aldrich came to the club's conference room before dawn. He sat on the main seat with his legs crossed, and tapped slowly on the table with his other hand.
, as if weaving tuneless music.
In addition to being astonishingly powerful at exposing scandals, the British paparazzi are more pervasive than journalists from other countries. In terms of work efficiency, they also do the best follow-up work after the news breaks. In this regard, they are obviously inferior.
There is no professional ethics among German journalists. There is just a gap between their journalistic acumen and their ability to grasp the overall situation.
Aldridge has been dealing with the media for more than three years. He has experienced all kinds of storms and storms, so he naturally knows what kind of scene he will encounter today.
So, he slipped away first, from his home to the club.
In this way, the reporters who flocked to his door will definitely leave disappointed.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and the tired Najib walked in. He canceled his flight back to his hometown in Hungary today. He was supposed to board the plane soon, but he rushed back to the club.
"I heard about this, how should I deal with this?"
Najib looked worried. He had never encountered anything like this before.
In fact, this is the first time for Aldridge to simply talk about club management. As long as the players do not deliberately slack off, the head coach will not make a fuss about it. Especially the Millwall first team has three exemplary captains as role models.
During team training, other players did not dare to make mistakes.
But can the head coach control his private life off the field?
Maybe it doesn't matter.
However, when the image of a player's private life harms the image of the club, Aldridge feels that as the owner and head coach, he is absolutely in charge.
Najib sat down and didn't even take a sip of water. He just frowned and worried.
"They are full of blood, and it sounds normal to find women, but why do they want to find call girls? Even Joe Cole is involved. Alas, he..."
Najib was really afraid that these players would be ruined by their chaotic private lives, so he issued a series of worried remarks.
Aldridge was angry and disappointed, but seeing Najib look so heartbroken, he really felt sorry for this senior brother, and at the same time he was even more angry at the players' behavior.
Look, your coach has worked hard for you, eating, drinking and sleeping all the time thinking about cultivating you into talents. To make you famous, what have you done?
"I have already called their agent, and now the news has been in the newspapers. I asked the agent to tell them: I am waiting for them at the club."
Aldrich comforted Nagy and then closed his eyes to rest.
It was embarrassing for him to deal with this kind of thing.
Fortunately, during the Christmas period, foreign players in the youth team and reserve team were accommodated. They were allowed to go home for the holidays to spend the holidays with their families. Ronaldinho flew back to Brazil, De Rossi also returned to Rome, and the same was true for other players.
, Otherwise, we don’t know how many players will be involved in this scandal.
From a legal point of view, the actions of the players cannot be called illegal. Call girls exist legally. Some people pay and some people take off their clothes. It is a matter of your own free will.
But from a moral perspective, it’s too unsightly!
Although most men would definitely want to have fun if they had the chance, and occasionally fantasize about group sex or having sex with a good-looking call girl, but it is one thing to be dirty in the heart, and it is one thing to put it on the table and make it public.
It's another story.
"Sigh. England's players are hard to manage. Damn it!"
Aldrich was waiting impatiently. It was estimated that the protagonists in the center of the vortex were exhausted from a night of romance and were still sleeping soundly.
Najib nodded and sighed: "Yes, foreign players, especially young players, live a well-behaved life here, and some are even afraid of social interaction with the outside world. I used to think this was not good for them, but they really care about it."
It doesn’t seem good to be a local yourself.”
Aldrich shook his head helplessly.
Most foreigners who come here will be introverted. It is impossible to feel free and comfortable in a strange environment, and they are also afraid of making mistakes.
But the local players are different. They are very familiar with every plant and tree. They are not afraid of being bullied outside, and they have a huge network of interpersonal relationships and a lot of friends. They have money and want to have fun, but they are afraid of not having money.
Is anyone free to help?
In fact, Aldridge is more humane and enlightened in player management.
It has nothing to do with an iron fist, because he is more able to put down his arrogance and communicate patiently with the players. He will not list a lot of "military disciplines" and ask the players to implement them. Anyone who violates them will be punished, and there is no chance for the players to appeal.
Benitez strongly disagrees with this point. He feels that managing a team must be like managing an army.
Aldridge continues to enlighten Benitez and ask him to think more about the players from the player's perspective.
If Aldridge remembers correctly, historically Benitez had a falling out with Alonso in Liverpool because Benitez was too unreasonable.
Alonso wanted to go home to take care of his sick daughter, but Benitez replied with a cold face: You go, and you will never come back.
Alonso came back, then left again, saying goodbye to Anfield forever.
It is normal for the team to have discipline, but management cannot be too rigid.
For example, Trezeguet took a lot of leave for a period of time, and like a primary school student, he asked for leave by lying, saying that someone was sick, something happened to someone, and he even made up a friendly match of the French National Youth Team as a reason to ask for leave.
Aldrich later checked all the matches of the French team, but could not find the match between the French youth team and the Swiss youth team mentioned in his request for leave.
Aldridge did not scold him angrily, but gave him the coach's game ratings and training reports, letting him see with his own eyes the decline in his performance and the difference in the quality of his training, and then let Trezeguet think for himself.
Should I continue to take time off to date my girlfriend, or should I continue to play football to achieve my childhood dream and realize a leap in my own life value?
Under this management style, Trezeguet stepped back from the brink, took the initiative to apologize to Aldridge and confessed everything, and then never asked for leave again, and quickly returned to form.
Aldridge really doesn't want to get involved in the players' personal lives, because he feels that it will turn him into a job mother and nanny.
For players like Lampard who are inherently playboys, Aldridge turns a blind eye.
How many girlfriends he likes to change is his own business. As long as it doesn't affect his training or let dating become an interference, Aldrich doesn't care how often he changes girlfriends. Besides, this kind of thing is about male love and female love.
That's not quite normal.
Treat players as individuals, and as long as their personal behavior does not affect their job, which is playing football, then there is no need for club management to impose many restrictions on players.
More than ten years later, Ryan Giggs's "sister-in-law scandal" shocked the football world.
But from the perspective of the head coach, Giggs is just a personal behavior. He did not interfere with his teammates, nor did he make himself a cancer for the team on the court. From a fair and objective evaluation, he is a moral scum, but he is still a good player on the court.
As a role model, other players still have to learn from Giggs, but only from his football side.
The hot guys like Liverpool are completely different. Their individual behaviors are combined and become a collective behavior. This not only directly affects the performance of the Liverpool team, but also causes losses to the image of the Liverpool club. In this era, Liverpool has no chance of winning the championship.
, the outside world is ridiculing and sarcastic, and they all feel that they deserve it!
You drink and pick up girls on weekdays, play more chicly than anyone else, and you also want to win the championship trophy at the end of the season and be admired and worshiped by the fans. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Therefore, Lampard's new girlfriend would usually be in the gossip news. But Aldrich just pretends to be out of sight and out of sight.
But the sex party last night was unforgivable.
If we leave this evil trend alone, God knows how many players will be affected by them!
Especially with so many promising players in Millwall's youth team.
It was after noon before any players entered the meeting room.
Joe Cole, dressed in casual clothes, walked into the conference room with trepidation. He looked at the expressionless Aldrich and the worried-looking Nagy with fear.
"Boss, Coach Nagy, I, I, I left very early yesterday! Really!"
Joe Cole has never seen Aldridge with such a cold face. After all, Aldridge is older than him. In addition, when Aldridge has time to go to the youth team, he will encourage him or make objective comments on his performance.
Evaluate and then guide him.
Just a month ago, when Joe Cole turned 16, the club gave him a very generous professional contract. Joe Cole was enjoying his career recently, but he never expected that his big brother would be on the team on Christmas night.
Asked to go out to play together, this is what happened!
"Tell me what happened last night first."
Joe Cole calmed down and didn't dare to sit down. Fortunately, Najib was considerate and let him sit down. Then he started to talk about what happened last night.
In fact, he just had nothing to do. He had Christmas dinner with his family, and then he received a text message from Ferdinand. The young man who was also curious about nightclubs suddenly realized that he was an adult and should see the "adult world", so he went with him.
A few friends went to the nightclub together.
But Joe Cole felt sleepy when he stayed until midnight. Unexpectedly, Ferdinand gave them a big stimulus. When more than thirty call girls appeared on the scene, Joe Cole almost peed with fright.
Although he was not a gentleman at heart, at the age of sixteen he felt "shy" in front of everyone, so he left the nightclub in a panic with his friends. As for what happened next, he didn't know, uh, he
I swear everything I say is true.
Ashley Cole, who is one year older than him, is very relaxed. At least when he left, Ashley Cole was already hugging his two elder sisters with a smile on his face...
In fact, Aldrich was just curious and wanted to hear the story of last night. As for the punishment, he had a plan in mind. Of course, he would not judge someone based on whether he had slept with a woman or how many women he had slept with.
The two coaches and a frightened Joe Cole continued to wait in the conference room.
The players who had been notified by their agents arrived one after another.
With each person who came, Aldrich asked about last night's story. Some people told them in such detail that Aldrich had to shut them up. Some people were too embarrassed to tell them, but now they started to tell them.
Pretending to be pure.
It was not until evening that the three protagonists from last night showed up. It is said that the party was organized by the three of them.
Mills, Ferdinand, Lampard.
After the three people arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became very depressing.
Aldridge was sitting in the main seat, raising his chin and looking at the three players with cold eyes. They were all sitting on pins and needles, and then lowered their heads, looking ashamed.
Fleet Street had enough. Yesterday's defeat by the defending champions was big news. This was not enough. Millwall gave them even more exciting headlines.
Yes, any result of the match between Millwall and Manchester United will be news, but the sex party held by Millwall players is as sensational as an atomic bomb explosion.
Aldridge, who once despised the hot guy in Liverpool, is now making the same mistake as his own disciple. Isn't this exciting enough?
Oh, it's really not enough.
Why aren't there some louder names?
It would be great if Pirlo, Schneider, Southgate, Trezeguet, Nedvěd, Larsson and others could join in!
