The movie I am going to watch in the evening is "The Man in the Iron Mask" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which was released this year. Aldrich sat on his seat holding a bucket of popcorn and waited for the movie to start. De Rossi sat next to him, and Messi and Agui
The two boys, Luo, were not interested in the movie. They fell asleep after sitting down, which may have been caused by overeating.
When the movie started, De Rossi came over, grabbed a handful of popcorn in his hand, and asked: "Boss, is this movie about the real thing?"
Aldrich shrugged and said: "I don't know. I don't have a high degree of education, and I know nothing about French history. But the movie is definitely different from history. At least the historical background in the movie plot is wrong. The time in the movie is 1662.
These people are in the Palace of Versailles, this is nonsense, the construction of the Palace of Versailles only started in 1664."
"Eh? Don't you understand history?"
"But I've been to Versailles."
He and De Rossi chatted while watching, and their voices were low so as not to disturb others.
While chatting, De Rossi suddenly said: "Boss, are you going to Japan at the end of the month?"
Aldrich replied in confusion: "Yeah, who doesn't know about this?"
Millwall will leave for Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup at the end of the month.
De Rossi turned his head and licked his face and smiled: "Take me with you too! I want to see the world."
Aldrich looked weird and said, "You think going to Japan is called seeing the world? Isn't it because you want to be lazy and travel and have fun?"
De Rossi's calculations were exposed, but he was also thick-skinned and said: "Of course not! I am a pacesetter in training! Isn't Japanese football very popular in recent years? Didn't England's famous Lineker play in Japan? Brazil
Isn’t captain Dunga also in Japan?”
Aldridge curled his lips and said: "Don't think that you can cover up your evil thoughts by naming a few star players. Don't worry, of course I will take you with me when I go to Japan."
De Rossi's eyes shone and he asked: "Really?"
"No need to lie to you, not only you, but also your teammates will go."
De Rossi suddenly looked uncomfortable and sighed: "So I was able to go according to the plan? I should have known better that I wouldn't have told you."
"hehe."
When the movie ended, Aguero woke up in a daze. He yawned and his eyelids were still fighting. He stood up and walked out. Aldridge grabbed him and said with a smile: "You are going to get lost on your own."
The rhythm.”
The exit is on the left, but Aguero turned and walked to the right...
Messi woke up after being hit in the leg by Aguero. He stood up and rubbed his face and said: "The movie is really good."
Aldridge pulled Messi's wrist up and put his hand on Aguero's shoulder. Then he said: "Don't get lost."
He and Aguero are more like confused eggs now, and Aguero still has eye mucus in the corners of his eyes!
When they walked out of the cinema, Aldrich and the three boys were preparing to take a taxi back, but several reporters took photos in front of them with cameras. After taking pictures, they smiled at Aldrich and waved goodbye.
It was said to be a farewell. In fact, it was just a cover-up. The paparazzi ran to the street corner and hid to continue to observe where Aldrich and the others would go next. Even if Aldrich got into the taxi, they followed closely until they confirmed that Aldrich was four
The person gave up tracking only after returning to the club community.
Aldrich wasn't worried at first, but the news in the newspaper the next day made him almost spit out a mouthful of blood!
The tabloids cryptically suggested that Aldridge was a "pedophile"!
Some major newspapers that also got the news still showed professional ethics, from Aldridge taking young players out to eat and watch movies to in-depth analysis of Millwall's success in youth training.
Aldrich had to ask Andrew to come over and help send legal letters to some newspapers.
There is no way. The young marshal's private life has begun to be questioned.
The outside world believes that his girlfriend is just a shield and that he is either gay or may really be a pedophile.
Another day later, Millwall held an official press conference.
Club CEO Adam publicly announced that all echelons below Millwall's first team have reached a sponsorship agreement with the British company Umbro. The training and competition clothing and equipment of the reserve team and youth team will be provided by Umbro.
This news shocked the English football world and even caused the entire European football world to pay close attention.
Can Millwall even get sponsors for its reserve team and youth team?
The sponsorship contract is for two years. £1 million per year!
This fee is already higher than many first-team jersey sponsorship fees in the lower reaches of the Premier League!
Umbro's business representatives are full of confidence in this cooperation.
They believe that Millwall's success is due to the success of the youth training. Statistics from the past two seasons show that the attendance of Millwall youth team and reserve team games is between double and triple the average number.
.
In addition to the fans of Millwall, other fans are also interested in paying low ticket prices to attend their games, and perhaps appreciate a certain future superstar up close before he becomes famous.
The Millwall reserve team has won consecutive reserve league championships, and the youth team has won three consecutive youth league championships and two FA Youth Cups. These are important reasons why Umbro is willing to invest in them. Not to mention Millwall Youth
The team will also play against the powerful youth teams in Europe during the European war, and it has created a lot of influence and topics.
All the wealthy families were shocked.
Millwall's reserve team and youth team are packaged to generate profits, and they are not just petty profits.
Other giants are jealous, but even giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, etc., which have excellent youth training, they dare not say that the record of the youth team and the number of talented young talents can match Millwall.
The most important thing is that maybe there is still chaos within the giants. The first team is worried about the pressure of performance, and who cares about the youth team?
Aldridge adheres to the development policy of youth training and devotes unswervingly. After four and a half years, he has laid the prototype of a complete system. As long as the first team can continue to succeed, it will also drive the future business of their reserve team and youth team.
income.
CEO Adam is so ambitious that when Millwall moves into the new stadium in two years, the price of the sponsorship contract with Umbro will be at least doubled!
Aldridge is naturally happy to see the club earn more money. Although Millwall made 14 million pounds in last season's profit report, they will definitely earn more than 60 million pounds this season because they sold people in the summer alone.
It earned more than 80 million pounds. Although the salary increase for players increased the expenditure cost, as long as the record can be maintained, the club's income and expenses can reach a balance excluding transfer income.
But this is not enough, far from it. The current scale of the club can no longer support the huge consumer market. After the new stadium is completed, the overall diversified business chain surrounding the new stadium will give the club a qualitative leap in revenue.
After announcing the new sponsorship contract, Millwall immediately announced their trip to Japan at the end of the month. Not only will they play the final at the Tokyo National Arena, their opponent will be the South American Libertadores Cup champion Vasco da Gama from Brazil.
.
At the same time, Millwall has reached a friendly match agreement with the Japan Football Association. When Millwall goes to Japan, it will bring two echelons, one youth team and one junior team. They will play two friendly matches the day before the Toyota Cup match. The opponents are Japan.
U21 and national junior team.
Japanese football has been vigorously revitalized in recent years. In addition to attracting waning superstars to join the league to increase public attention and enthusiasm, the emphasis on youth training has also come step by step.
Perhaps these two friendly matches between the youth team and the youth team do not have much intuitive value, but the influence behind them cannot be evaluated in terms of monetary benefits, including the stimulation of young people, the stimulation of people's football thinking, etc.
Among them, the sponsors played a major role in the matchmaking behind the scenes. When the Millwall youth team played against a European giants' youth team, Aldridge took the initiative to apply to play against the opponent, but with the Japan Football Association, he really didn't think about letting him.
Millwall's young players use the Japanese youth echelon to train, which feels unnecessary. Even though Japanese football is developing rapidly, it is not strong enough to impress people. Most of them went to Millwall with a tourist mentality.
However, the other party took the initiative to invite, and companies also offered sponsorship, so Aldrich had no reason to refuse.
Before leaving for Japan, Millwall still has one league game to play, which is still the London Derby, and the opponent is Tottenham in the north.
This London derby has been exaggerated into a clash between the "last man" and the "new king".
Fleet Street loves to grab attention and make news.
This is not between Millwall and Tottenham. Tottenham itself cannot be called the king of the old era.
It's the comparison between Tottenham's new coach George Graham and Aldrich Hall.
Around the time Aldridge took charge of Millwall, Arsenal, the team built by Graham, completely entered a stage of decline. The last game Graham led Arsenal to play was in the English League One led by Aldridge.
Millwall were eliminated after defeat.
Graham was subsequently sacked and banned from coaching for one year by the Football Association. Graham made a comeback and took over the Elland Road Stadium. Unfortunately, his glory was no longer the same. Leeds United's record was also mediocre. When they played against Millwall,
At a time when Millwall is at its peak, Fleet Street is not generating much buzz.
Moreover, Millwall has conflicts with Leeds United. Whenever Aldridge plays against Leeds United, he always treats the opponent's coach with disdain.
The reason is that Leeds United fans racially discriminated against Millwall players in the season when Millwall first entered the Premier League. The racial discrimination was very serious and the scale of racial discrimination in the stands was huge.
For example, Makelele is still worried about him. As long as he plays Leeds United, he is particularly enthusiastic. Even if he is given a card or a red card on the field, it doesn't matter to him. Aldrich never accuses him and will defend him after the game. Players
We are human beings and we need to vent our anger. Under certain circumstances, Aldrich will turn a blind eye.
Although Millwall fans were very capable of causing trouble in the past, they are quite open on racial issues, because East London is the area with the most immigrants, and everyone is used to having friends with different skin colors, although there are also a handful of extreme fans who have racist tendencies.
.
Aldridge and Graham have not said a word or shaken hands in the past two years. Aldridge is because the other party is the head coach of Leeds United, and Graham is probably because Aldridge was hired by Aldridge when he was sacked at Arsenal.
War of words and humiliation.
Before the Fleet Street game, they fanned the flames and stirred up the old feud between the two. After all, the two have different positions now. London Derby!
Unfortunately, Aldridge was not fooled, Graham was in a worrying situation, Tottenham was unlucky and ranked in the bottom half, and he had no capital to provoke Millwall.
In such a "big battle" that was over-exaggerated by the outside world, Millwall defeated Graham's Tottenham 3-0 at home without any blood. Ruud Ruud scored a hat-trick in the game. Perhaps Henry's return from injury put pressure on him.
, he used his explosive form to defend his main position during the game.
After winning the 15th round of the Premier League, Millwall went to Moscow and held a draw with all substitutes. They had 4 wins and 1 draw from 5 games in the Champions League group stage, leading the second place in the group stage with 4 wins and 1 loss from 5 games.
Inter Milan, who lost, declared to qualify early.
After the European war ended, they began to prepare for their trip to Japan to participate in the Toyota Cup.
