Even when leading 3:0 in the first half, Aldridge's expression in front of the TV did not change at all. But when Villa scored the first official goal of his career, Aldridge jumped up and was in the room.
Pumping his fist in celebration as if he were on the sidelines of the court.
As one of the first batch of star talents introduced by the club, Villa is the prince of the crazy lions. If he were not younger than Ronaldinho, maybe the outside world would see more of Aldridge and Villa.
expectations, which have nothing to do with ability or talent, but a deep master-disciple relationship.
Aldrich sat down again after celebrating. He snatched the fruit from the stunned Andrew and stuffed it into his mouth. His gaze suddenly softened as he looked at the TV. The camera focused on: Villa, Aldrich seemed to
I saw the young boy who walked out of the club community to the training base with him.
At Wembley, several players who were substituted at halftime stood up and walked to the sidelines to applaud Villa's goal.
Nedved and Larson exchanged words with smiles and nodded frequently.
They can witness another young player in the club starting to shine, and are happy from the bottom of their hearts for these "little guys" in their eyes.
In the past, the "little guy" secretly watched them with envious eyes, sneaked into the first team training ground to watch them train in his spare time, and occasionally asked for autographs and took photos in private.
Now, they play together and have become teammates who fight side by side. The club's unremitting youth training policy over the years has also made the relationship between players of all ages extremely delicate, forming an emotional hub. Like Nedved,
Larson and Southgate will naturally shoulder the role of role model and actively guide and help young players grow up.
In the final stage of the game, Beckham scored from a set kick to help Manchester United get another one back. But time was running out. In the end, Millwall defeated Manchester United 4:2 at Wembley and won the Charity Shield again.
A good start to the new season for the club.
Two days later, the British football and entertainment media focused their attention on a hospital in Liverpool.
Aldrich stood outside the delivery room with his arms crossed and said nothing. Many people gathered around him, including his family and Melanie's family. Some were praying and some were whispering.
After a while, a person came from outside. His attire was completely different from the other people in formal attire. Aldrich turned his head and looked around, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than his player, Ronaldinho.
He was dressed in a hip-hop outfit with a peaked cap on his head. Maybe he felt very fashionable about himself, but Aldrich only felt that he was unconventional.
Ronaldinho is usually very carefree. Today, when he saw so many people present, all wearing suits and ties, he looked like a big shot, so his speech and behavior became a bit more casual.
"Coach Klinsmann gave me a day off. I have nothing to do. I heard that the boss's son was born today, so I came to see you. Congratulations in advance."
Ronaldinho lowered his voice and said.
Aldrich sighed softly, but still smiled and said: "Thank you. But giving you a holiday is to let you rest. It is not to let you run around."
"Hey, it's only been a two-hour flight back and forth. I'm just sitting here quietly, waiting and watching. Just think that I am air."
After Ronaldinho said that, he actually sat down on the chair.
Ronaldinho is the most special person in pre-season preparations. The training is arranged separately. It is relatively relaxed. In addition, he is given an extra day off today.
The reason is that he didn't take much rest this summer. As soon as last season ended, he returned to Brazil just after his injury to join the national team in the Copa America. Although he couldn't steal the spotlight from Ronaldo and Rivaldo, it was still the first time that the 3R combination met, and they got their wish.
Helped Brazil win the America's Cup, and then participated in the Confederations Cup.
This year's Confederations Cup, the traditional strong teams in Europe are boycotting it. The newly crowned World Cup champion France team simply does not participate. Other participating teams also sent two or three teams. Ronaldinho went with the team as a leader.
, and performed outstandingly and shined. Not only did he win the top scorer and best player awards, but he also overturned the original history and helped Brazil reverse the host country and win the Confederations Cup.
Throughout the summer, major European clubs have been rumored to have an affair with Ronaldinho. Among the offers received by Millwall, Real Madrid, the highest bidder, even made a heavyweight offer of 30 million pounds.
If Millwall is willing to sell Ronaldinho and bargain with Real Madrid, it is estimated that it will be no problem to increase the price by another 5 million pounds, and this transfer price will inevitably exceed the 50 million set by Vieri's transfer to Inter Milan.
A world transfer record worth of 34 million pounds in US dollars.
However, Aldridge resolutely rejected all offers for Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho did not care about the transfer at all, even though Millwall did not offer him a new contract or salary increase during the same period.
Aldrich was worried that Ronaldinho would feel lonely in this strange situation, so he sat down next to him and casually asked him about his summer schedule.
At the end of the conversation, Ronaldinho suddenly turned his head and asked seriously: "Boss, you are going to be a father, how do you feel now?"
Aldrich glanced at the delivery room subconsciously, and then whispered: "Suppressed joy, uncontrollable anxiety, uncontrollable nervousness, and a little bit of a feeling that seems to be touched but not."
"Well, it seems very complicated."
"You will also be able to experience it in the future."
Ronaldinho raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.
It wasn't until that night that Melanie successfully gave birth to twin babies.
The hospital was filled with an atmosphere of joy. When Aldridge held two babies with wrinkled faces, his arms were shaking with excitement...
"Uh, nurse, who is the older brother? Who is the younger brother?"
Aldrich suddenly asked, and everyone looked at the little nurse with a smile on his face curiously.
"Mr. Hall, the one you hold in your left hand is your elder brother, and the one you hold in your right hand is your younger brother."
Arthur came close to Aldrich, smiled and looked down at the baby held in Aldrich's left hand, gently tapped his head with his finger, and said with a smile: "Well, then you are Bert."
He looked at his brother again and said, "Then you are Earl."
Aldrich handed the baby to the nurse to take him for Apka's physical examination.
He did not accompany the two sons with the nurse, but stayed with Melanie.
Ronaldinho followed the nurse curiously, staring intently at the two little guys who didn't look good at all.
Basically, newborn babies will not be beautiful and delicate when they are born. If that is the case, parents have to worry about whether they will become ugly when they grow up...
When Melanie regained her energy, she couldn't wait to see the two little ones. The twin babies who were all well after the physical examination were also brought back and placed in her arms to sleep peacefully.
Aldrich sat quietly on the bedside, tilting his head and staring at his two sons. Thousands of words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and in the end he couldn't say anything.
Andrew suddenly walked in. He waved to Aldrich and asked him to go out and talk. But Aldrich shook his head and smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Andrew rolled his eyes and said: "Many media outlets called me. They want to spend a lot of money to buy exclusive news. These two little guys can make money just after they are born."
Aldrich chuckled. He turned to Melanie and asked her what she meant. Melanie said feebly: "If you don't let them take pictures, they will be followed every day. It's better to let them get the news generously, so that the outside world can
You'll lose interest quickly."
Aldrich thought about it for a while. In the UK, it is easy to prevent thieves, but it is almost impossible to prevent paparazzi.
"Then let them do it. They can shoot whatever they want, no charge. I don't want to use my son to make money."
"Don't you want to hear the price?"
Andrew looked a little helpless.
"No, not interested."
"Oh, okay then."
Andrew took the phone and turned around and walked out.
The next day, the biggest news in England came out.
"Hall II is coming!"
"The heroic and glorious supreme leader! Bert and Earl, the next generation of lion leaders are born?"
Fleet Street really likes to make a fuss about things.
Deliberately interpret the meaning behind the names Aldrich gave to his two sons.
Bert, the hero and the glory, Earl, the noble leader.
The combination of the two became the headline of the Daily Star.
The Times was more reserved and published a photo of Aldrich holding a son in each hand with a smile on his face. Then it dug out old news below and published a photo of him holding a trophy for comparison.
As one of the most watched public figures in the UK, people can see Aldridge's high spirits and vigor when holding the trophy in his hand. The publicity and passion are vividly reflected, and the photo of him holding his two sons can be clearly seen.
It appeared that he was in happiness, with a soft expression and tender eyes, as if he had suddenly transformed from a young boy into a mature man.
On his last day in Liverpool, Aldridge stayed at home the whole day, almost taking care of the two babies with Melanie. Even when they were asleep, Aldridge and Melanie still stared at each other without blinking.
them.
When night fell, Aldridge packed his luggage. He was going back to London. The opening game of the new Premier League season was three days later and he had to go back.
For more than two months, Aldrich and Melanie spent here perhaps the most peaceful and peaceful days since they met, but also the calmest and most comfortable time in their hearts.
But before parting this time, Melanie fell into a long silence.
She helped Aldrich pack his suit and pack his suitcase. After Aldrich kissed his two sons from upstairs and went downstairs, putting on his leather shoes by the door, Melanie finally couldn't restrain her inner emotions.
Rushed to his back and hugged him.
"Aldrich, can't we just keep going like this?"
Aldrich did not turn around, lowered his head and sighed: "The past two months have been the life I have been pursuing. I am with you, like a real family, but now, that time will never happen again, you have your own
I also have my own career."
"Can't you humor me just once? Just this once!"
"But how long will it take this time? How long do I have to wait for you?"
"Ten years, no, five years, I don't want to give up, I really don't want to give up!"
"I know, so I gave up. I'm sorry, forgive my selfishness. I don't want to wait for others with my time."
Melanie suddenly burst into tears, her cheek pressed against Aldrich's back, and kept asking why.
Perhaps from her standpoint, she would be satisfied with a love affair with Aldrich that would never break up, but Aldrich didn't want to go on like this.
Aldrich gently held one of her hands and said softly: "My name is Aldrich Hall. I am a club head coach. Five years ago, I traveled across Europe to search for football talents.
I invite others with more than 300% sincerity, almost facing the world with a pleading and humble attitude. In the past five years, some people have
Let's go. Some people come, some betray, and some stick to it. I'm just a mortal. I can't match fame and wealth, and I can't beat vanity. Today, I don't need to look at other people's eyes, let alone rely on others for success and fame. It's going to rain, and my mother is going to get married.
People, I don’t need to compromise, and I don’t want to force others to make things difficult. Those who want to leave can leave, and those who want to stay can stay.
I want to stay, instead of being sad for those who leave, I would rather show more sincerity and kindness to those who are loyal and stick to it. The world will not change for me, but I just want to shake the world in a simple way. From now on, the center of my world must be me.
This is selfish and arrogant, but I just want to continue to be crazy. Maybe, I just want to prove that leaving me
People will regret it. My world will not collapse because of the lack of anyone. I, Aldrich Hall, want to live a chic and domineering life. Melanie, I will let my career continue to be brilliant.
, and you and I can have happiness together, the only difference is that the one who will make the sacrifice is not me, I'm sorry."
Aldrich let go of her hand, picked up his luggage, opened the door and left.
