Henry, who was in France, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar when he heard the disconnection sound on the phone.
He was confused and panicked.
He had been angry and aggrieved these past few days!
The terms of the contract extension given to him by the club were so disappointing to him.
The agent conveyed Juventus's sincerity.
The transfer fee has reached 40 million pounds!
The personal treatment was also very generous, and even Juventus manager Moggi called him and joked that he had found a new home for him in Turin.
Henry thinks he will be forced out by Millwall!
So he was unhappy and a little angry.
He doesn't want to leave. Even if he doesn't have the experience of a veteran like Larsson, at least when he can defeat Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Manchester United with the team, opponents that have been hailed as the top teams in Europe in the past two years, he will understand.
At Millwall, he can achieve great things that others look up to!
European Golden Boot, Champions League Golden Boot!
As a winger, has he ever dreamed about it before? Does he dare to have such a dream?!
And all of this was given to him by Aldrich.
So, when his leader's tone was cold as if he was announcing his death sentence, he couldn't bear the sudden blow and his whole body became panicked.
Aldrich asked him to return to the team tomorrow, but he hung up the phone, immediately packed his bags and rushed to the airport to return to London immediately!
At the same time, in the office building of Leo's training base, Aldrich hung up the phone and put his cell phone in his pocket. Henry's agent suddenly looked shocked.
Then he roared at Aldrich.
"Hall, you are so shameless! Destroy Henry? You actually said destroy him! What on earth are you thinking? Let Henry transfer now. 40 million pounds! You made money on him in two years
£30 million!”
That's right. Two years ago, Henry, who was the most expensive player in the club's history, was transferred for a price of 10 million pounds.
Aldridge ignored this person at all. Unlike many powerful head coaches, he had absolute authority in the club and did not need to hold all the power in his own hands. Therefore, all negotiations with player agents were done.
Leave it to Adam to do.
Initially, he was unwilling to sit at the negotiating table with Andrew in order to avoid suspicion.
"Convene a press conference to announce that Henry will stay with the team and he will fulfill his contract at Millwall."
Aldrich turned around and left after saying these words. Behind him, the agent was still roaring, and even grabbed Adam by the collar and shouted: "Go and persuade that madman, you don't want 40 million pounds, what do you want?"
?What else do you want?”
Adam pretended to say: "Dignity, the dignity of the club."
The agent ran out of Adam's office and called Henry, hoping to keep Henry from coming back to the club.
But as soon as his call was answered, Henry, who was already sitting in a taxi and rushing to the airport, said in a heavy tone without waiting for him to speak first: "It's over. I'm going back to the club to renew my contract, that's it. Don't call me again."
Me, I just want to play football in peace."
Henry knew that he could not leave, and he could not leave free.
In that case, he may become the biggest traitor in the history of Millwall Club!
He didn't want his glory days at Millwall to end this way.
I don’t want to recall this exciting time in the future only to have all the Lions fans cast aside him!
The weekly salary of 30,000 pounds is a bit shabby compared to his performance last season, but Henry cannot imagine breaking with the club as a "Judas" at this time.
Henry's agent saw that his treacherous deeds were about to be exposed, so he did nothing and made a big fuss at Millwall's official press conference. The scene was very lively!
Before Adam could say a word, the agent rushed into the scene, picked up the phone and insulted Aldrich crazily.
"Hall himself said he wanted to destroy Henry! Just because he didn't want Henry to play for other teams! Is such a head coach still worthy of respect?..."
He clamored unscrupulously here, smearing Aldridge, trying to aggravate the conflict between Henry and Millwall, and Henry had to leave.
The reporters on the scene were also happy, and they were worried that there was no news. This drama came at the right time!
Adam didn't stop the other party. Anyway, there was no way to verify what Aldrich said to Henry on the phone in the office.
What if Henry and his agent come forward together?
As long as Adam and Aldrich deny it, who can prove that what they say is true?
And Adam was confident enough to announce that Henry would stay on the team.
After the agent couldn't make any more noise and was finally asked out by security and followed by a large group of reporters, there were still many reporters at the scene. Everyone wanted to hear what Millwall had to say.
Adam announced on the spot that Henry would stay with the team, fulfill his contract, and play for Millwall for at least two years.
When reporters at the scene asked about Millwall's difficulty in renewing Henry's contract, Adam answered frankly: "We prepared a contract for Henry with a weekly salary of 50,000 pounds. This was the maximum salary in the Premier League last year. We
We think this contract is enough to show our sincerity, but Henry's agent asked for a weekly salary of 75,000 pounds, and it came with a series of floating conditions.
The money, including the club paying a bonus of 500,000 pounds after Henry won the league's top scorer, etc., Millwall could not accept the conditions they offered. We do not deny the importance of Henry, but he cannot be above the team.
Breaking our salary system will also bring instability to the locker room, so our contract renewal cannot proceed smoothly."
"Since they couldn't reach an agreement on the contract extension, why didn't Millwall sell Henry? After Real Madrid withdrew, Millwall received an offer of up to 40 million pounds from Juventus. Doesn't this impress Millwall?
?Or is what the agent said true? Hall wants to destroy Henry and let Henry stay in the club and decline?"
Real Madrid's withdrawal came after Figo's transfer, and Florentino came to London yesterday to make a final effort in another way. Unlike Juventus, who can get real money.
Adam shook his head and said: "We signed a four-year contract with Henry two years ago. So, he will work for Millwall for four years. We keep him and let him continue to play for Millwall and continue to work. This
What's the problem? Does it mean that the contract is invalid? If the contract is not binding, is it
It’s not that Millwall is now making an offer for Beckham, but Manchester United refuses. Manchester United also wants to destroy Beckham? Or if we make an offer for Irving, but Liverpool doesn’t sell it, and keeps Irving, Liverpool also wants to destroy Irving? What’s your hypothesis?
, and what the agent said is all nonsense."
...
In previous years, the team's pre-season training always kicked off with a relaxed and happy atmosphere or with high spirits.
But this year's pre-season training, Millwall seems to be shrouded in a dark cloud.
Aldrich regretted his hasty decision and felt that Adam should have been allowed to hold a local press conference when the team left for Asia three days later.
Now, the players have just returned to the team. The training ground has almost become a circus.
Outside the training base, reporters swarmed in and a large number of fans with complicated expressions were paying attention to them.
Italian international players like Pirlo have not returned to the team yet. They can go directly to Asia to join the team in a week. Although only Zambrotta among them has officially played, the others will go to the Netherlands and Belgium with Italy after all.
If you don’t play games, don’t you train? Are you just relaxed and on vacation?
Therefore, it is appropriate to give them the necessary time to rest, and the amount given is a bit too little.
The team's lineup is uneven, and the players are all uninterested. No one wants to be surrounded by reporters on the first day back to the team. Based on experience, they know that as long as they leave the club, there will be all-pervasive reporters who want to interview them.
Ask about Henry transfer rumors or club decisions.
Nedvěd and Southgate took the lead in jogging along the court without supervision in their training shirts, and other players followed them one after another and began to warm up.
Aldridge was a little irritated and left the training matters to Klinsmann, who returned to the office.
In the office, he diverts his attention with other tasks.
Team signings!
The recruitment of new players in local youth training camps has been completed, and the lower age groups have been supplemented. However, Najib told him a reality: it is not optimistic.
There are not many good players in England.
This situation is very complicated to say, because it includes race, culture, economy, environment, especially the impact of the extension of the football industry on young players!
The most intuitive point is that if a child is interested in football when he is growing up, who will he imitate in playing football?
Basically every city has a team. If they support the local team since childhood and often go to watch these teams' games, then they will imitate their playing style and naturally support the stars of the team.
In other words, the Premier League environment emphasizes confrontation and rough technology, which extends to tactics, teams, etc. This is actually affecting the new generation bit by bit.
Europe is not big, and the boundaries between countries are sometimes blurred, but here, there are very different football styles and huge differences in talent training. In addition to the system and institutional issues of the entire football environment, style cannot be ignored.
a little bit.
Therefore, while Spain, Germany, Italy, and France can all produce a generation of leaders, England's talents are withering away day by day. The Premier League itself, the top league, is not to blame. The historical football style of this region also has a profound impact.
When the core of the football concept in this land is to advocate the style of fierce confrontation and open play, we cannot expect the next generation to become delicate and gorgeous under the influence of such an environment, and to show the master level of using softness to overcome hardness.
Therefore, the standard local players in England’s top league are mass-produced!
It's like a processing factory producing the same batch of products with the same specifications.
They have strength, yes, but it is difficult to see their uniqueness. There is no need for 11 similar or similar roles on the football field. Often there are only those individuals with their own characteristics who unite together to complement each other and play to their respective characteristics.
Then it becomes rich in variety and powerful.
This phenomenon is regrettable, so outsiders criticize Millwall for not being local enough, and Aldridge has always scorned it.
It's not that he looks down on England, but history has given the answer.
Even though Manchester United is as glorious as it was in history, is Giggs from England? Is Yorke from England? Schmeichel, Stam, Johansson, Keane...
Or what is more convincing is that the England national team is declining day by day, and the level of the best players in England when they go out reflects a lot of information from the side.
Because of this, players like Joe Cole who are praised as geniuses will be paid special attention to by Millwall. However, when it comes to the true talent level, Joe Cole and the foreign star of hope seem to be evenly matched.
Not to mention how talented he is, Aldridge let Vicente Joaquin out on loan. In fact, he wanted to train Joe Cole more in the new season. The most critical factor is Joe Cole's household registration book.
The club has established many football schools in Europe and Africa in the past two years, but this kind of investment will not have immediate results. It is impossible to build a school last year and send one or two talents this year. Therefore, Aldrich
Part of his recruitment work is to rely on himself to add young fresh blood to the club.
He picked up the phone and wanted to call Andrew, using the other party's scouting intelligence network. Unexpectedly, Andrew came to the door in person at this time. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
