On Friday night, Aldrich went back to his parents' house in the eastern suburbs to spend the night. When he got up the next morning, his mother Amelia had prepared breakfast early.
Even though her family is still very wealthy, Amelia, who has lived in the working class for half her life, is still used to doing things by herself, especially housework, and she doesn't feel tired. In other words, if she is not a complete housewife, she doesn't know what to do.
To kill time.
"When will Bert and Earl be brought to London?"
Amelia placed breakfast in front of Aldrich and poured him milk while asking.
Aldrich said casually: "It's nice for them to live with Melanie's parents."
"Isn't Melanie working in London?"
"Yes."
"Have you met?"
"No."
"Then we need to discuss this issue carefully. You are parents, but you are not around your children. How is this okay?"
Aldrich sighed and said softly: "I don't want to be in this situation, but I have the right to be a father, but I don't have the right to take away the child. To put it simply, I can visit the child, but where does the child live?
, Melanie decides who is taking care of him, unless my son is poorly taken care of and grows up in a bad environment."
Amelia frowned.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. In an international metropolis like London, interpersonal relationships are complicated. Nowadays, it is also popular for single mothers to have children but not to get married, or women who only want children but not a man.
She heard about it and put it behind her. But when it happened to her own son, she found it difficult.
Arthur came down from upstairs in his pajamas. He yawned and sat at the top of the dining table. He picked up today's newspaper and read it. His eyes widened as he looked at it. He slapped the newspaper on the table and cursed: "What a shame!"
"
Aldrich turned to look at Amelia and smiled: "If my son hears swear words here every day, I would rather let my son live in Liverpool."
Amelia rolled her eyes and had nothing to do with Arthur. That man had this kind of virtue. He was over fifty, could he still change it?
Aldrich knew that Arthur must have been angered by the content in the newspaper. Sometimes this old gangster just liked to get into trouble and write some unpleasant comments or specious news in the newspaper. If you don't want to read it, just throw it aside.
Well, but I always get sulky by myself.
He didn't speak and ate breakfast quietly, but he didn't take two bites. As expected, Arthur couldn't hold back his words and said to him: "Son, why do you think some people are so arrogant?"
"Hey, what did the newspaper write again?"
"I'm surprised. That old bastard Bates always says that Chelsea will become the Roma he built, but Chelsea doesn't even have a Premier League title. He's so crazy! Haha, right now, isn't Leeds United temporarily ranked second in the league?
Well, Ridsdale actually said that they can surpass Millwall in a few years, and they don't have to urinate... Alas, I don't think I said that when our crazy lions were killing everyone in the Premier League.
What? You’re not ashamed to brag, these people are getting more and more shameless the longer they live!”
Seeing Arthur sighing, Aldrich laughed.
Arthur asked curiously: "Why are you laughing?"
"Laughing at your innocence."
"Am I innocent?"
"Um."
"Are you scolding me?"
"No, I'm just telling the truth. It's a fact that they are shameless, but they are not arrogant. They just seize the opportunity to increase the visibility and exposure of their team. In the past few years, Millwall and them have gone
It’s a way.”
Arthur looked at the smiling Aldrich and said puzzledly: "One way? I rarely give interviews throughout the year, and I have never made any arrogant declarations."
Aldrich bit the bread and said vaguely: "They make a high-profile appearance when the team has a good record and make some high-profile remarks to draw attention to their team from the outside world. In a sense, this is a publicity strategy. If your team has a good record,
, but the club has no voice at all and will soon be forgotten, because it is difficult to guarantee that the team will always perform well, and the outside world's attention will quickly shift. They just want to create a sensation with their words. As for Millwall,
Not by words, but by actual actions
For publicity in this area, our public relations department has been working hard to establish good relationships with major mainstream media, using some exclusive news in exchange for their promotion of us in the news. Otherwise, why do you think the outside world talks about Millwall every day?
There are so many strong teams in Europe, with goals scored every week, and strong teams playing winning streaks or exciting games in every period, but Millwall has suffered a 6-game winning streak, and its 7-game winning streak can be widely publicized.
Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, do you know who he is?”
Arthur's chubby face shook and he said: "I came out after I finished middle school. I know Hitler, but I don't know who his propaganda minister was. However, you dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school.
Do you know?"
Aldrich spit out the bread in his mouth, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Goebbels. He is very knowledgeable in publicity. For example, he said that if you want to lie, tell a big lie! Because a big lie often has some credibility.
Power. From a psychological point of view, ordinary people
They have lied, but they are all small lies. They don’t dare to tell a big lie, so they subconsciously think that others don’t dare to either. Therefore, when someone tells a big lie, they think it has a certain degree of credibility. You and I are sitting here talking about Bates
and Ridsdale's remarks as a shameless distortion of the facts.
, Chelsea and Leeds United are miles apart from the real giants, but with Chelsea’s continuous huge investment, Leeds United’s sensational signings in the summer, and their good record, they will tell a big lie.
Some people choose to believe or expect them, even if
Keep a cool head, but will continue to pay attention to Chelsea and Leeds United to see if they can succeed and wait to expose their lies, but the result is not important at all. The effect of attention and continued attention that can be brought to Chelsea and Leeds United is
What Bates and Ridsdale want most!”
Arthur narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: "These two bastards are pretty good at it! So that's it. I thought they were evil. It seems I'm ignorant."
Aldrich laughed heartily. Arthur was like this, he cursed people heartily, but he never pretended to be a nobleman, nor was he pretending to be serious, nor was he pretending to be a gentleman.
He started to eat breakfast, which cleared up his doubts, and he had nothing to be angry about. Although the Leeds United chairman made him feel uncomfortable by saying that he should surpass Millwall.
"Son, do we also tell lies occasionally? For example, will Millwall become the most awesome club in the entire earth, the entire universe, and the entire history of mankind?"
Cough cough cough.
Aldrich laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears. He had a terrible breakfast today, but he was in a very happy mood.
After he had cleaned up the mess in front of him and drank some water to moisten his throat, he turned to Arthur and smiled: "Goebbels also has a famous saying, the goal of propaganda is only one, and that is to conquer the masses!"
Arthur chewed the sausage and asked: "What do you mean? Does it have anything to do with us?"
Aldridge explained for him: "We work tirelessly to promote the team and make the team the focus of discussion. Over time, Millwall will become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even a person who does not care about football may hear about Millwall in the future.
With Wall's name, you know this is a football club, no matter what it is
Fans who stand for this position will know Millwall. In order to keep up with the mainstream, they will also have a rough understanding of Millwall. This is the purpose of our promotion. Of course, this cannot be completed in a short period of time. It takes time to accumulate. Compared with high-profile words,
It is a promotional strategy that cannot be realized in practice, I think this is the most correct way.”
There are various means of propaganda, but they can also be divided into good and evil.
Just like hype is the same thing, some people become famous through scandals, and some people rise to the top through real talent and hard work. This kind of story is played out every day in England. A woman who becomes famous immediately is like a crucian carp crossing the river, but it is difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Unable to sustain glory.
After hearing this, Arthur nodded and said, "Son, I support you and I believe you can do it."
After breakfast, Aldrich chatted with his parents for a while and then went to work relaxedly and happily.
The game against Leeds United is on Sunday. I completed the morning training at the club today and held a pre-match preparation meeting in the afternoon. By the time Aldridge was about to attend the pre-match press conference, Saturday’s Premier League match report had also come out.
.
He doesn't care about the results of other teams, but everyone else does.
Manchester United beat Aston Villa by three goals at Old Trafford and wiped out the decline of White Hart Lane.
However, Arsenal once again tied with Newcastle United at home. After Bobby Robson returned to the Premier League, Newcastle United's record improved significantly, and he also made Wenger suffer.
Before the game against Leeds United even started, Leeds United had slipped to third place in the standings, level with Arsenal and one point behind Manchester United.
Aldrich attended the press conference today with a completely new spirit. He used to be calm and collected, and occasionally made people feel relaxed, but today he seemed to be full of energy.
When he walked into the venue, he gave people a different aura. Before sitting down, he smiled at all the reporters present: "Hi, gentlemen, do you have anything to ask? Unfortunately, tomorrow will not be the battle for the top spot.
Leeds United have dropped one place."
The reporters were shocked. They could feel the fighting spirit emanating from the young marshal's mental outlook.
Come to think of it, Leeds United have been a little too crazy recently!
Ridsdale's remarks are nothing more than that. He is the chairman, so he can imagine the future prospects of the team and draw a pie for the fans who are looking forward to it. What's wrong with this?
Which club president doesn't often do this immoral thing of making empty promises to win applause?
But Leeds United's O'Reilly claimed that he defeated Millwall last season and remained unbeaten. He has enough experience to deal with Aldridge and Millwall, which is a bit ignorant.
Ferguson, Wenger, and Chelsea's three managers over the years, including Keegan, who led Newcastle United to the championship back then, who can guarantee that they can deal with Millwall? They all keep a low profile to save their character.
Throwing the pressure on Millwall, O'Reilly didn't know if he wanted to motivate the team, so he actually uttered wild words!
Oh, Keegan seems to have been crazy, and indeed eliminated Millwall in the double cup competition in a single season, but what was the final outcome? Keegan was directly kicked out of the coveted league championship, and could not raise his head in front of his mortal enemy Ferguson.
Not only O'Reilly, but also all the Leeds United players were preparing for this game in interviews and vowed to defeat the invincible Millwall at Elland Road.
Alan Smith, Bowyer, Kewell and other players were full of murderous energy.
On the contrary, former Millwall players like Ferdinand, Mills, Duff and other former Millwall players deliberately avoided this topic. I don't know if they are afraid of Millwall or because they don't want to antagonize their old club again.
Aldridge is very happy today and has high morale.
Well, very good, I am not afraid that no one will provoke me, but I am afraid that the Premier League is full of cowards!
It has been a long time since he was despised by anyone. The last person who despised him seemed to be Louis van Gaal.
I have forgotten how many times I played Barcelona.
It doesn't matter, the rising Leeds United are here, let's turn on all the firepower and have a big battle! (To be continued...)
