When Aldrich sat down next to Villa, Villa turned his head, and then quickly lowered his head, as if he was embarrassed to see Jiangdong's father.
"The team won, aren't you happy?"
Aldrich asked softly with a soft expression.
Villa pursed her lips and whispered for a long time: "I'm sorry, I let you down today."
"No, I think the situation is fine as it is."
Aldridge's understatement made Villa's eyes full of confusion.
"David, it's not that I don't want to see an excellent Villa, but I would rather see a Villa who can recognize himself and not be interfered by the outside world."
"Boss, I don't understand."
Villa felt that Aldrich's words were very profound, and thinking about them would make him even more confused.
Aldridge raised his right hand and pointed out the window, smiling: "This is the UK, the European news center, the place with the most news in the world. Football is the most popular national sport in this country. As long as it has something to do with football, nothing is wrong."
It cannot be hyped. David, how were you feeling before today? Huh? Proud, flamboyant, and full of confidence, just like what was written in the Fleet Street newspaper: Oh, Villa, crazy Lions fans
Love, Prince Villa, he scored against Manchester United in the first game of his career. Is there any better way to start the story than this? He will become the next generation of Millwall Lions. He is talented and talented.
, he is born to be a killer on the court. Look at his running, look at his calmness when shooting, and look at his handsome appearance. He will definitely become a star and the dream lover of thousands of girls.
....”
Aldridge's exaggerated tone and body movements of waving arms made Villa look embarrassed. His teammates in the front row lowered their heads to hold back their laughter.
"Boss, that's enough. Do you want me to be embarrassed in front of others?"
Villa, who was blushing, had to stop Aldrich from talking anymore.
After Aldridge said this, Villa probably guessed the content of Aldridge's conversation with him, and his mentality did not continue to deteriorate due to being sent off with a red card. Instead, he laughed.
"David, here, there are two types of people whose words you should never trust. The first is politicians. The second is reporters. Even if they talk about you, they don't care about you at all, especially the media. They don't expect you to be good or outstanding all the time.
, they prefer you to be good today, bad tomorrow, good the day after tomorrow, and good after tomorrow
If the weather gets worse again, they will always be able to use you as the focus of news to support their families. I can make a bet with you. As long as the football news related to Millwall tomorrow, the vast majority will be voices criticizing you.
, the voice that ridicules you and criticizes you so completely that you are worthless."
"Boss, I won't bet with you. I believe everything you say is true."
"So, you can't be bewitched and interfered by the media. If they think you are good and you are good, then do you still need to train? Do you still need a coach to guide you? Do you still need the club staff to take good care of you and train you? They don't care about you.
, but we, everyone around you care about you. Maybe my words will make you feel cruel and cold in your ears, but I just
Tell you the reality, let you recognize yourself, and then decide for yourself whether to live in false temptation or live in cruel reality. You still have a long way to go. You have the potential to become a top star, but
This requires you to be patient, hardworking, focused, and reject external interference. Only by moving forward step by step can you become a star and a member that your teammates can trust and rely on."
Villa looked at Aldrich and nodded solemnly, saying: "Boss, I understand, thank you."
Aldridge said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then let's talk about the technical issue of your two fouls in the game that caused you to get red. The first foul in our penalty area was completely unnecessary.
, you did not observe the position of your teammates calmly and carefully, Metzelder stared at
You tightened the opponent's supporting players, and Barzagli also blocked the opponent's shooting angle. Gattuso and Lampard had already blocked the opponent's route of activity, but you impulsively fouled from behind and gave the opponent a penalty kick.
The second time, your defensive actions were almost rude..."
Villa patiently listened to Aldridge's analysis of his performance in the game. This was definitely not enough. He had to go back and watch the video, self-examine and summarize his mistakes.
Two days later, Aldridge flew to Switzerland to participate in the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony for the new season.
In the hall at the draw site, Aldridge arrived early and found a seat to sit down. There were many more people in the venue this year, and there were also many unfamiliar faces, such as Lazio coach Eriksson and Valencia coach Cooper.
, but there are also many familiar faces, such as Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal and Dynamo Kiev coach Lobanovsky.
The Champions League has expanded in the new season, with the number of participating teams rising from 24 to 32. It makes sense that there will be more people and new faces.
"Old friend, congratulations on the birth of your son in Xia Tian."
Aldrich turned his head and looked, and felt familiar when he heard the voice. It felt right, AC Milan manager Galliani.
The bald man always has a smile on his face. If he were a little fatter, he might be able to represent Maitreya Buddha.
He sat down next to Aldrich, his smile unabated and looking very satisfied.
AC Milan won the Serie A championship last season, and he was indispensable because he handled all the club's transfer operations single-handedly, which made him feel proud and proud.
But people, it’s easy to be punished if you are too complacent. In the summer, he basically did nothing. He wanted to rely on the team that won the championship to continue to create glory. In fact, AC Milan’s competitiveness has dropped significantly compared with the previous year. The reason? The players are getting old.
, and we can’t expect Bierhoff to continue to be magical. Shevchenko quickly became the favorite of San Siro.
"That, Ronaldinho..."
"I am currently short of defenders. If AC Milan is willing to sell Maldini, I can offer him 30 million pounds."
As soon as Mr. Jia started talking and mentioned Ronaldinho's name, Aldrich interrupted him with a smile.
Ahem.
Galliani coughed twice and then laughed and said, "You really love to joke."
"Hehe, maybe."
"No! Who do you fancy among the other players? They're all fine, but not him."
Galliani was really anxious now. His forehead was sweating.
If Aldridge shows absolute sincerity and launches an offensive against Maldini, Galliani cannot guarantee whether San Siro will be able to retain this loyal minister.
Loyalty. In Aldrich's view, loyalty is often not determined from the beginning, but when you look back at the end, you realize that you have become a loyal minister because of the facts.
Although Maldini is 31 years old, he can still maintain a world-class level for at least 5 years. If Aldrich spends 30 million or more to impress AC Milan, AC Milan must consider at least two points. The first is transfer fee income.
Whether he can make this money or not, the second factor is Maldini's age.
However, if such a loyalist is sold, the club will always need someone to be a scapegoat. If the deal can be established, it is logical that Bayern will receive the money and Galliani will take the blame for the boss.
So Galliani knew with all his ass that even if he helped AC Milan make money, he might get out or suffer death threats from fans...
Aldrich just put his army on Galliani's mouth, and Galliani became a man. Seeing that Aldrich stopped talking in detail, he also knew that the other party was just scaring him, and his intention was not to do business.
.
He obeyed and started talking about other topics.
"Have you received the gift I sent you a month ago?"
"Well, on behalf of my child, thank you for your concern and blessings."
"That's great. If I have the opportunity to bring them to San Siro to watch football games in the future."
"There is definitely a chance. Maybe Millwall and AC Milan will meet in the European war."
"Huh? The probability of that is still very low, very low..."
Galliani hopes that AC Milan can achieve something in the new season. Needless to say the league championship, it is best to have some results that satisfy the fans in the European war. At least, the fans can happily look forward to the revival of the Milan dynasty.
?
But if he and Millwall met, Galliani thought it would be bad luck!
The two chatted casually from time to time, each expressing their opinions.
"UEFA is just messing around. Two rounds of group matches, six more games than in previous years? Are there going to be leagues? We'll see, now I think it's just making money, but when we look back in two years, we'll know
Is it profit or loss?"
"But expanding the top 32 can guarantee our interests. For example, if Millwall finishes third in the league in a certain year, they will definitely be able to participate in the Champions League."
"I'm not denying that expanding the army can protect our interests, but I'm talking about the schedule. The top 32 and the top 16 will be the knockout rounds. It's enough to play two more games than in previous years."
"Well, maybe what you said makes sense."
Galliani didn't think so. It would be more practical to play more Champions League games and earn more tickets.
In fact, after UEFA implemented the Champions League, it directly caused the dominance of the giants in the league to plummet.
Real Madrid won the Champions League in 2002 and 2002, fifth and third in the league, and their points are significantly lower than before.
Although Bayern won the UEFA Champions League double in 2001, its points in the league were only 1 point more than Schalke 04, which was a full 10 points less than the championship last season.
It was difficult to control. Leverkusen's Sanya King said it was because of his own collapse. It would be better to say that the thickness of the bench could not keep up. In the end, he was determined to kill the thief and was unable to recover.
Therefore, as long as Aldridge plays a stable game in the league, he will try his best to let the main players take a rest. At the beginning of the new season, everything seems to be developing in a good direction, but the first half of the league is to lay the foundation.
The real decisive battle will begin almost immediately after the beginning of the new year, starting from aspects such as endurance, stability, lineup thickness, player status, locker room unity, etc.
I didn’t see An Pang this year, nor did I see AC Milan coach Zaccheroni. After Aldridge and Galliani chatted until they had nothing to say, the draw ceremony began.
Johansson was still the same old cliche, and when the draw began, Aldrich clearly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed.
Nervous and dignified.
Galliani also stopped smiling.
With this year's expansion, there are many more small players in Europe's second-tier leagues. For them, being able to draw a good lottery means that they may be able to get double or even more of the profit share of the Champions League, so they will naturally become nervous.
Aldrich didn't care much about the result of the lottery. He would bump into anyone. Anyway, there were only a few strong opponents. He was not afraid of being crowded into a group, and it was exactly what he wanted. In the first half of the season, he eliminated two of them.
When it comes to the second round of group stages and knockout rounds, the schedule will be relatively easy, which is beneficial to the second half of the season.
Maybe UEFA heard Aldrich's voice. If he thinks so, UEFA will definitely not be able to fulfill his wish!
When the group draw came out, Aldridge was suddenly patted on the back of his hand, which hurt a little.
He turned around and saw Jia Zong looking at him with complicated eyes. (To be continued...)
