With the new atmosphere of the new millennium and Millwall's first season in the new era, moving into a new stadium is only an important part of a series of changes.
The business chain around the new stadium is somewhat similar to the "Chelsea Village" built by Bates. There are hotels, restaurants, casinos, entertainment centers, etc. around the stadium. Building a new stadium is just to sell tickets? Then Abramovich in the original history has long been
Build a new Stamford Bridge for Chelsea
Well, Stamford Bridge, with a capacity of only 40,000, is worthy of the name of the Blues' Premier League giants? Building a new stadium is never just a matter of capacity. Chelsea's stadium is just a bit small, but the surrounding business chain is mature. It will take ten years to build a new stadium.
With future prices, even 1 billion pounds may not be enough.
The team's dedicated passenger plane and the renovation of the Lion's Den stadium as a reserve youth team competition venue are all shaping the Millwall brand.
Henry was shocked by the club's investment.
At the same time, a passion was ignited in my heart.
As a football player, who doesn’t want to play for a big club?
This "bigness" does not describe the club's record, but its material qualities.
Top-class stadiums, high-end facilities, from training to competitions, even the transportation on the way to the competitions, not only want to be decent, but if it can make people feel enjoyed and proud, then this is the most wonderful thing!
Millwall is now building the material image of a wealthy club, and building infrastructure as early as possible while there is money. The later the price becomes more expensive, invest early and produce early. When the golden era of football comes, Millwall will also
Will not be left behind.
Henry figured out what Andrew said.
If what the other party said is true, then he was deceived by his agent.
But he still didn't understand.
"Why did he lie to me?"
Andrew was not surprised by this and wrote lightly: "The contract period between agents and players is relatively short. Moreover, the abilities and resources of the agents themselves are also different. Thierry, maybe you yourself have not realized how much commercial value you have,
And your agent will definitely have a sense of crisis due to the limitations of his own abilities. Soon you will realize that the current agent cannot bring you the maximum business income, then.
He will be abandoned by you. This is a normal thing in this circle. In layman's terms, top stars should have a professional agent team. To be honest, I am the agent of Henrik and Pavel.
.But their specific commercial value development and service for them are our company's teams. Each star will form an independent service team according to different situations. This is the treatment that top stars should have."
Andrew told the truth, he is only one person and does not have a head or six arms. He has never done practical things to serve the players. At first, he would personally participate in the negotiations. Now it is also left to the team dedicated to the stars to operate, and he has completely become a decision-maker.
As long as he maintains a good personal relationship with the company's big-name players, he doesn't need to worry about other things.
However, for a star like Henry, he still has to take action personally.
Henry roughly understood that he was not a young boy who didn't understand the ways of the world.
Andrew didn't say it clearly, but Henry could imagine it.
Considering that his agent had been encouraging him to move to Serie A six months ago, and had recently kept mentioning Juventus in his ears, he was still wondering why Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, and Inter Milan had all made offers, so why didn’t his agent mention it?
Pass the personal treatment conditions offered by the other three companies.
Now, everything is clear.
The broker must have collected black money, or in other words, is waiting to receive it.
In fact, this agent really didn't expect Millwall's 180-degree change in attitude this summer! In previous years, the transaction was done quickly, and there was never a transfer soap opera. Basically, if you give a certain price, then
The transfer was finalized immediately, especially for a player like Henry who did not have a loyal background of "sharing hardships" with Millwall. Juventus offered a world record transfer price.
In the context of the collapse of the contract renewal talks, according to the agent's thinking, with Henry still having two years left on his contract, Millwall will definitely sell him to cash out! As long as the transfer is completed and Henry breaks up with him later, he will also
Don’t care anymore, Juventus’ relatively increased remuneration is more than five times what he earned from Henry in the past four years! But the result is that Millwall’s current confidence is outrageous!
This is commonplace throughout European football. Player transfers are accompanied by black money transactions, and agents, head coaches, and senior club officials are often the protagonists involved.
Henry immediately took out his phone to call his agent, but Andrew asked him: "Do you want to call the police?"
"No, I want to question him!"
Henry's hand was held down by Andrew. He raised his head and looked up. Andrew shook his head slightly at him and said with a smile: "Thierry, you are a big star who earns millions of pounds every year. There is really no need to argue with him. Call him."
, what can I do? Give him a few scoldings?"
Henry's expression was complicated, as if he had suppressed anger with nowhere to vent, and said with gritted teeth: "He made me become like this! I..."
"As I said just now, I'm here to help you solve your troubles. Your situation is a bit bad because you want to stay at Millwall. I think staying at Millwall is indeed the best for your career. Now
That's not the time you should be spending time on your relationship with your agent, isn't it?"
Henry suddenly woke up like a wake-up call.
The deal is done, there is no point in questioning his agent again!
"Sorry, uh, Mr. Hall, I want to go back to the club now. I want to tell the truth to the boss and eliminate the misunderstanding between us."
After Henry finished speaking, he was about to stand up and leave, but Andrew pressed his hand to signal him to calm down.
"Thierry, you don't need five minutes to listen to what I have to say. I think you haven't really realized your situation yet."
Henry frowned and sat down again, and asked: "I will go back and renew my contract with the club now, and all the problems will be solved."
"No, it can only solve part of it. I am happy to help you analyze it. Maybe you don't know, because your agent had a falling out with Millwall Club. In the morning, Millwall held a press conference to announce that you would stay on the team.
Reject all offers. At the scene, your agent lashed out and slandered Aldridge. This news will soon spread throughout England. Can you imagine how Millwall fans will feel about you now?
?”
Henry was stunned, never expecting that things were worse than before he took the plane back to London!
His agent represents him, that goes without saying.
Publicly denigrate Aldrich?
Against the king of Millwall?
It's over!
This is simply a self-destructive path.
Crazy Lions fans are probably tearing his heart out at this moment!
Seeing Henry lowering his head in frustration, Andrew comforted him: "Actually, the solution is very simple. The first thing you should do when you return to the club is to apologize to the whole team and then tell Aldrich the truth. I believe he won't
Blame you."
Henry raised his head and asked doubtfully: "Explain and apologize to the boss, no problem, but why should I apologize to my teammates?"
Andrew smiled and asked: "Who do you think is more famous, you or Anelka? Who gets more support in the club?"
Henry was embarrassed to answer. The answer was obvious, he must be more famous.
Compared with Anelka now, he is no longer on the same level.
Andrew continued to ask: "You have the answer. So, can you recall the whole process of Anelka leaving Arsenal? What impact did it have on the entire Arsenal team?"
Henry looked unhappy when he heard this.
Yes, Anelka's departure from Arsenal last year was really full of twists and turns.
Favored Real Madrid, rejected Lazio, Real Madrid withdrew. The fight with Lazio was fierce, and Juventus joined in to raise the price. He rushed to Rome to prepare to join Lazio, but the press conference was suddenly canceled. Anelka scolded Arsenal for being too greedy... Arsenal
Na began to threaten players with salary suspension, Wenger issued an ultimatum, Arsenal and Lazio
The agreement was reached, with a weekly salary of 56,000 and 14 million pounds in 5 years! Anelka refused to transfer because Lazio reduced the agreed salary to make up for the transfer fee. Anelka refused to return to the team for training, and the Lazio boss announced that he would give up and start the new season.
When Wenger broke with Anelka, Real Madrid re-intervened and successfully took Anelka away.
The whole process took nearly two months!
During a survey conducted by "The Sun", Anelka was honored as the "most unpopular foreign player".
"Thierry, what happened to you is different from Anelka, but to some extent, your situation is worse because your agent has already
You were portrayed as a greedy Judas, and even openly fell out with the club.
It is easy to be misled, and this kind of story is logical. Serie A clubs are richer. If you want to go to Juventus, your salary will definitely exceed 70,000 pounds per week, which is more than what you earn at Millwall, double the original salary.
, or even twice as much, so not many people would find it strange.”
Bang!
Henry punched the table and put his head in his hands.
Is it rare for players to be cheated by their agents?
That’s not to say, famous aliens are still deceived, making those who hear them sad and those who see them shed tears?
Andrew patted the back of his hand and said softly: "How is your relationship with your teammates at the club?"
"very good."
"So, don't you need to apologize to your teammates? If you take the initiative to apologize, you will regain everyone's trust. Moreover, you need the support of your teammates, and your boss will also want you to do this."
Henry nodded, he probably only now clearly understood his situation.
"Think in an optimistic direction. At least because you are important to the team, what happens to you will affect the team. This proves that you are important to the collective and this team."
Andrew did not forget to comfort Henry, but he only received a wry smile from Henry.
But it’s quite right to think so.
"Then, you have to eliminate the bad influence brought by your agent. If you don't mind, I can help you arrange an interview. You just need to tell the camera your true thoughts. As for your agent's matter, you can
You don’t have to talk about it, but I tend to think that it’s better not to mention this person and put you
Downplay the problems encountered in renewing the contract with Millwall to avoid being the focus. On the other hand, I will let my friends in Fleet Street expose your agent. In short, you try not to become a plaintiff, because the more you accuse the agent,
Instead, it's more like shirking responsibility and looking for a scapegoat. You just need to concentrate on training and playing football, that's enough."
As soon as Andrew finished speaking, Henry suddenly raised his head and stared at him with a complicated expression.
Andrew frowned slightly, thinking he had said the wrong thing, but Henry held his hand and said sincerely: "Mr. Hall, please be my agent, please!"
Andrew looked stunned.
Nonsense, I'm so busy, of course I want to be your agent.
The king of killers who is so popular all over Europe, who wouldn’t want to be your agent!
However, he was only talking words and had not yet done anything practical.
Henry was actually touched by Andrew's last words.
Just concentrate on training and playing football, that's enough!
Yes, from beginning to end, he just wanted to concentrate on playing football. Because he wanted to concentrate on playing football, he asked his agent to handle trivial matters, and it ended up like this!
