Aldrich pulled out Klinsmann's resume. The German golden bomber was very serious about his work. His resume stated his career history, and then it was clearly stated that he does not have a coaching license now, but he will pass the assessment as soon as possible.
At the very least, he should obtain the qualification certificate of an ordinary coach. At the same time, he believes that his player experience will be helpful to Millwall.
Not to mention that Klinsmann's name is well-known in European football. The German wanderer has also left a brilliant footprint in the Premier League. His last club journey ended with Tottenham, and he played again in the second half of last season.
Tottenham's Klinsmann turned the tide and scored 9 goals to help Tottenham escape the relegation zone. He is regarded as a legend by White Hart Lane.
I don’t know if he was stimulated by his friend Loew, but Klinsmann announced his retirement after the World Cup. Instead of settling in the United States as originally planned, he immediately applied for a job at Millwall.
Loew's career as a player is far from brilliant, but he once worked as a teammate with Klinsmann and assisted each other. After retiring, he became a relatively famous young coach in German football. Last season, he led Stuttgart to meet Chelsea in the European Cup Winners' Cup final. Unfortunately,
In the end, he lost a small goal and missed the championship. Otherwise, Loew would definitely be praised as the best among the new generation of young coaches.
Aldrich faced Klinsmann's cover letter and began to think deeply.
The first thing he thought of was the disadvantages.
Klinsmann is a good player and will be a famous head coach in the future. But now, he is a rookie among coaches. If Aldridge uses him, he will probably have to help him adapt to Millwall and adapt to his job in the early stage.
There are many favorable factors. The first is fame. Klinsmann will bring more popularity to the club.
Secondly, Klinsmann has rich experience as a player and has traveled across Europe. This advantage allows him to provide the coaching staff with many things that ordinary coaches do not have.
Finally, there is the network of people. Although Klinsmann has a close relationship with some big players in the German national team, he must have his own network of interpersonal relationships in German football. Making good use of this can also help Millwall do his job as a coach.
contributions beyond.
After such a calculation, Aldrich believes that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Considering the current level, there must be many other job seekers with stronger business capabilities than Klinsmann, but he only needs to wait for Klinsmann's job to get on the right track.
Can do better than others.
He informed the staff in the personnel department to remove the recruitment information for assistant coaches, and then personally called Klinsmann. The other party was on vacation in the United States. It was not surprising to receive a call from Aldrich. With his player qualifications, he
He believed that it was normal to succeed in applying for Millwall. Aldridge expressed on the phone that he looked forward to their future cooperation.
Klinsmann began to pack his bags and head to London. Aldrich put down the phone and went to change into sportswear, and then went to the training ground to prepare to supervise the players for recovery training.
The players were very excited after defeating Manchester United yesterday and were in high spirits in today's training. The training after the match day was mainly about recovery, and the training content was simple and easy. But it was not just about messing around.
Aldrich saw a player on the sidelines who was preoccupied, so he whistled and raised his finger at Schneider, who looked distracted and thinking about something.
Schneider groaned secretly and trotted to Aldrich.
"What's bothering you?"
After spending more than four years together, Aldridge can guess a thing or two from the players' expressions.
Schneider hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said, "That's right."
"I can tell by the look on your face. Can I help? If not, you have to find someone who can solve your problem. Putting it off is not the answer. It will affect your life and work."
Schneider looked back at his other teammates who were training, and then whispered to Aldridge: "Boss, let's go somewhere farther away to talk."
Aldrich's expression was stunned. It seemed that he could really help the other party's troubles?
He is not very happy to play the role of a "close sister". If the other party treats him as an audience, Aldrich will be very disgusted.
If there is a problem, solve it. Just talking with your mouth is useless.
However, he still took Schneider to the sidelines, at least thirty meters away from other training players.
Schneider scratched his head, as if it was difficult to speak.
Aldrich was depressed and said, "If I can help solve the problem, just say so."
The subtext is: If I can't help you, you'd better not treat me as someone to talk to. It has no practical significance.
After making up his mind, Schneider said: "That's it, boss, I can earn millions of pounds a year now, but I don't know what to do with the money."
Aldrich's mouth opened slightly, his expression was blank, and he felt a little thunderous.
Don’t know what to do if you have money?
After his expression returned to normal, he touched his nose and said calmly: "Bernd, this is easy to handle. Let's sign a new contract now. Your weekly salary will be reduced from 25,000 to 250, so you won't be worried."
Schneider also opened his mouth wide in surprise, then smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, I'm not joking. What I mean is that my wife and I have discussed it over and over again, but to no avail. Part of my income is entrusted to Mr. Andrew to help me manage my finances.
Management, he did very well there, and the rate of return every year was very high, so we wanted to give the remaining money to Mr. Andrew and let him continue to use it for financial investment, but Mr. Andrew refused, saying it was not safe.
,Finally, he asked me to ask for your advice."
Aldrich folded his arms and roughly understood the other party's distress.
Most of Schneider's income comes from salary and bonuses from playing football, and some comes from advertising endorsements, commercial activities and the like.
As his agent, Andrew has the obligation to help him manage his finances, but it is impossible for Schneider to hand over all his belongings to Andrew. Andrew does not dare to ask for it because he is also afraid that he will entrust his players with financial management.
Barnett's investment company is now seeing high annual returns, but no one can guarantee that there will not be sudden poverty after the financial crisis in the future...
Schneider's troubles stem from his sense of worry in times of peace.
Playing football is the bread of youth. No matter how much he earns now, how many years can it last?
Even if he retires at the age of 40, he still has almost 15 years to run on the green field, but what about after the age of 40?
Ordinary people often say that 5 million or 10 million is enough to live a lifetime.
But life is actually not like this.
When you live a life of 5 million, you will yearn for a life of 10 million, and then a life of 15 million.
In particular, it is difficult to accept that once the standard of living begins to decrease due to less property.
Therefore, you need to invest so that your property can maintain and appreciate in value. The basic requirement is that it does not depreciate.
Aldrich rubbed his forehead, and it was difficult to say that there was something wrong with Schneider's idea.
Or use the excuse "You have enough money, you can't spend it all" to convince the other party.
At his age, he not only has family responsibilities, but also has longer-term and more mature thoughts and plans. Even if he has enough money, he must make better preparations for the next generation.
In a sense, his worries are very mature and rare. Compared with many players who are drunk now and sleeping on the streets tomorrow with worries, Schneider wants to increase the value of his property and make plans for the future.
This is the way of a wise man in life.
Aldridge is lucky. The opponent is really a good player.
He wants to make more money, but he shows no sign of asking for it from the club.
This is much more valuable than the countless players who ask for big contracts from clubs just to make more money.
Thinking of this, Aldrich looked at Schneider again, as if the other man was shining with gold and had an aura of high quality.
"Give me two minutes to think about it."
After Aldrich finished speaking, Schneider stared at him curiously.
Ordinary players have no financial management skills, like Hoeness, the stock trading genius. Pele, who became rich from scratch after being defrauded of all his savings, Robbie Fowler, who is a successful investor after taking off his jersey... these
They are all alternative players in football and do not represent the public. Most players entrust their financial management to agents.
Aldrich plans to help Schneider, and even if the other side retires one day, his wealth will be guaranteed.
After he finished thinking, he asked: "Bernd, do you like red wine?"
Schneider's eyes flashed and he nodded.
"Then invest in a red wine bar and buy some good-vintage red wine to store. When you retire, if you are short of money, take some out and sell them. The value increase should be at least five times."
Aldrich said lightly.
Schneider's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Five times? 5000% return rate?"
Aldrich said: "Some red wines with high return rates may increase in value ten or twenty times."
Schneider scratched his head and asked, "Why?"
"Because the output of good wine is limited, maybe the wine brewed this year is good, but next year the wine brewed will not be good due to material problems. As time goes by, the good wine made ten or twenty years ago will be drunk.
If there are more and more, there will be less and less left, and the price will naturally rise.”
Aldrich said it clearly.
Although he was not good at red wine, since he sat down with Ferguson to drink red wine, in order not to lose face, he still studied the minimum theoretical knowledge.
In addition, there would be news about sky-high price of red wine from time to time in the future. He thought about it, so as soon as he combined it, he came up with such an idea for Schneider.
Maybe buying stocks has a higher rate of return, but I feel uneasy.
Aldrich can ask Schneider to invest all his wealth in stocks of Wal-Mart, Time Warner, etc., which will definitely make him a billionaire in twenty years.
But in the past twenty years, he probably hasn't been able to sleep well even a day.
Who can guarantee that a stock market crash will not happen tomorrow?
Especially for ordinary people who know nothing about financial markets, larger investments mean more worries.
You must not put the cart before the horse. The purpose of investing is to have a peaceful sleep without having to worry about tomorrow, rather than to worry about tomorrow not coming and being unable to sleep today...
Schneider thought for a moment and then asked: "If the return is so high, wouldn't many people do it?"
Aldrich shook his head and said: "Ordinary people don't have the patience and financial resources. If you buy a bottle of wine, you have to store it for at least five years to get a visible return. Buy one box, two boxes, ten boxes or twenty boxes, and keep it for five years?
Who would do this? Furthermore, there is no condition to store it after buying it. The storage requirements of top-quality red wine are very high, and one of them is a constant temperature and humidity environment. All of this requires dedicated personnel to take care of it. You don’t have to invest hundreds of thousands at a time.
Millions of dollars, the storage cost is very high for a small amount of money.”
After Schneider understood it, he planned to go home and discuss it with his wife, but suddenly he kept staring at Aldrich again.
"What are you doing? Are you still worried?"
"Uh, boss, you thought of a way to make a fortune in two minutes. Are you a human being?"
Aldridge kicked him, but Schneider didn't get out of the way in time, and then quickly ran back to train with his teammates.
