In the second half of 1986, the three boys of the Hall family were moving forward on their own paths to pursue their ideals.
Barnett left East London and went to West London to study finance courses, planning to officially enter the financial market next year.
Andrew discovered that Aldridge studied football game videos every day. After asking, he learned that Aldridge wanted to be a coach in the future, so he also wanted to develop in this direction. However, Aldridge persuaded him to become a talent in an emerging profession.
:broker.
This is Aldridge's thought after careful consideration. He must use his advantages as much as possible. Many of the future stars and benchmark superstars are still half-grown children. With the great changes in world football ten years later,
, the benefits that player agents can obtain are simply immeasurable.
When Andrew was attracted by the beautiful blueprint described by Aldrich, he began to study law seriously and wanted to become a lawyer, which was a condition for becoming an agent.
Andrew often imagined that when those unattainable football superstars were his clients, being able to get up close to them was like a dream.
And Aldridge studies football tactics every day. As the birthplace of modern football, although England is famous for its rough playing style, overall, English football has made an indelible contribution to the process of world football, even if half of it
Arsenal's trend-setting WM tactical reform a century ago is no longer in style.
When Aldridge really began to put himself into a coach's perspective and began to delve into game videos, he found that his previous spectator perspective was very undesirable, especially when watching games in front of the TV. Most of the time, he could only see a part of the football game.
A small part, even if it is a wonderful part, cannot cover the overall situation of the entire game.
In Sander's video store, he could study a wonderful game over and over for a week or more. He would write and draw in his notebook, recording each offensive and defensive position, player movement, football trajectory, etc.
Wait until you think it through.
As time goes by, Aldridge's views on football games have improved qualitatively. In his eyes, every goal conceded is not accidental, and every goal scored is hardly related to luck. He believes that he has stood on the front line
Outside the football coach's gate.
Since Aldridge started working part-time in Sander's shop, gangsters in the community have indeed stopped causing trouble in the store. Sander saw that Aldrich was obsessed with football game videos, so he would always look for more game videos when purchasing goods.
He, especially the game videos from other European leagues.
Winter turned to spring, and after entering 1987, Aldrich's life was as usual. His eldest brother Barnett was immersed in the London Stock Exchange and tried to integrate into this game of eating people without spitting out bones. He was cautious and did not invest capital rashly.
Aldrich didn't understand financial investment in his previous life, but he was a good student, and the famous "Black Monday" was mentioned in the textbook.
The outbreak occurred in October 1987.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Hall family.
Aldridge would go to the Lion's Den to watch Millwall games on weekdays, but he always came home disappointed and often felt repulsed by the actions of the Millwall fan group.
If Millwall were to play West Ham United, then the hooligan fan groups would go crazy within half an hour after getting the news. It would not matter what the result of the game was. On the contrary, the war outside the stadium would start from before the game starts.
It continued after the game.
The Heysel tragedy in the 1980s is only a symbol of football hooliganism in England. There are countless football hooligan incidents that have been suppressed and covered up by the domestic media and government, and Millwall and West Ham United are the representatives of them.
Sex team.
Aldridge wants to focus on the court, but there is a faint trend of regression in English football. This is understandable. English clubs that have been banned from participating in the three major European Cups are in a rhythm that is derailed by Europe, not to mention the second-tier league.
The technical content is not high, and the tactics are also lackluster. The most intuitive visual sense is to hit the ball high and hit the goal with brutal movements and tyrannical strength.
Under such circumstances, Aldridge seemed less interested in the game against Millwall, even though there was a rising star in the team: Sheringham.
To be fair, Millwall was promoted from the Third Division to the Second Division last season and completed the task of relegation last season. This season is not to mention entering the top league, but at least establishing a firm foothold. The team is on the rise, but O.K.
Delic just couldn't get enough of the Millwall game.
He attributed this emotion to the fact that in his previous life, he was accustomed to games with high technical and tactical content, so naturally he had no enthusiasm for rough and brutal games. It was because he had been in a difficult situation, and on the other hand, it was probably also the environment of watching the game. He sat down
Among Millwall fans, there is not even a minute to quietly enjoy the game, and their ears are always filled with words from fans who are scolding and threatening to fight.
Soon, the 1986/87 Second Division League came to an end. Millwall performed slightly better than last season, but it has not yet jumped into the top league three times in a row like the crazy Wimbledon. However, Sheringham will be next season.
After the loan ends and returns to the team, the team's performance will definitely improve a lot.
In one year, Aldrich accumulated a lot of knowledge about football tactics. In addition to studying on his own, he read books. However, he clearly felt that he needed more systematic and professional training, so he had the idea of further training as a football coach.
.
It wasn't until the end of 1987 that Aldrich realized this idea.
On the day after Black Monday in October, Barnett returned home late at night and told everyone in his family with excitement and a trembling voice: He is rich!
The decades-long economic prosperity after World War II finally reached its peak, and the European and American economies entered a recession after Black Monday...
Barnett made hundreds of thousands of pounds through borrowing and leverage operations in the financial market. Although his capital was not much, he also earned hundreds of thousands of pounds. Later, he took advantage of the low price to acquire many stocks that Aldrich believed would perform well in the future, and Aldrich had a big brother.
I invested money, officially took a leave of absence from school, and entered the path of professional and systematic football coaching training.
In every major competition year, Aldridge would use his memory to earn huge returns, in 1988, 1990, 1992...
Since he came to this era in the summer of 1986 and became the youngest son of the Hall family, eight years have passed in a flash.
On May 20, 1994, Aldrich flew back to London from Zurich. He was going to attend a teaching and speaking course organized by FIFA. When he took a taxi to East London, he looked at the scene of the streets receding.
The handsome and gentle face was full of confusion.
In recent years, he has traveled all over Europe and studied in various places, which not only increased his experience, but also gave him the most intuitive experience of different styles of European football.
The taxi stopped in front of a villa in the east suburbs of London. Aldrich paid the fare and tip, and with the help of the taxi driver, took out his two large suitcases from the trunk.
Then, Aldrich looked at the manor-shaped villa covering an extremely large area, and his heart was filled with infinite emotion.
Now, he can be regarded as a rich, handsome man.
The Hall family's wealth grew like a rocket. When the European economy was in recession, Aldrich suggested that his eldest brother shift his investment focus to emerging markets in Asia. Before the Asian financial crisis swept through, the Asian economy was a prime source of wealth.
select.
According to conservative estimates, Barnett's total wealth now exceeds 200 million pounds, and it is still on an upward trend. Not only is he well-known in London, but he has also established friendly cooperative relationships with many business families in North America.
The door in front of the villa was open. Aldrich walked in with two large suitcases. There were several high-end cars parked on both sides of the wide road. Aldrich didn't pay attention. He walked around the fountain in front of the door and came to the door.
Before leaving, he put down his luggage and knocked on the door. There was no response. Aldrich pressed the door handle and pushed the door straight in.
"boom."
As soon as he opened the door, his eyes were dazzled when his mother Amelia fired a fireworks cannon, and countless colorful strips fell from the sky and landed on Aldrich's flowing blond hair.
"Happy birthday, son!"
Amelia excitedly stepped forward to hug Aldrich and kiss him on the forehead.
Aldrich was stunned and then smiled. He saw a sea of people in the hall on the first floor. In front of him were Amelia in full dress and her father Arthur, who had gained weight in recent years.
After letting go of his mother, Aldrich stepped forward and hugged his father. He smiled and said, "Your belly is so scary."
Arthur held a cigar in his mouth with a kind face and smiled without saying a word.
Aldrich turned to look at the man and woman standing next to him. The eldest brother Barnett and his sister-in-law Leah looked both talented and good-looking.
Barnett walked up to Aldrich and hugged him affectionately. He smiled in his ear and said, "I've put a birthday present in your study. I'm sure you'll like it."
To his two younger brothers, Barnett doted on them like a father.
Aldrich smiled and didn't care, then turned to look at Andrew, who was now in his early twenties and handsome. The two did not hug. Aldrich directly snatched the wine glass from the other's hand, and the two brothers laughed.
Not to the point.
There were many guests in the hall, most of them were acquaintances who lived in the neighborhood in the past, and there were also many old classmates and colleagues of my two brothers and their parents.
Of these people, except for a few Aldrich, he had impressions, but most of them were unknown to him.
The guests who came here were also very curious. The youngest son of the Hall family was away all year round and never came back a few times throughout the year. It was really shocking to hear that this young man was studying to be a football coach outside.
Aldrich's return happened to be his birthday, and he didn't mind a party at home. After all, the Hall family was now very famous in London, which was not comparable to the wealthier outsiders.
Aldrich was very restrained at parties, but he could chat and laugh happily with everyone who came to chat with him, showing his elegant demeanor.
It wasn't until late at night that Aldrich went upstairs to his room. He first put his gifts in place, including two large boxes, one containing clothes and the other containing books and materials. He planned to put all the books in the study room.
, and ended up accidentally seeing a folder on the table.
He curiously opened the folder and took a closer look. Only at the end was he surprised to find that it was a contract document for the ownership of a football club.
