The next day, Millwall went to Asia for pre-season preparations with an incomplete lineup.
Henry returned to London, but he did not travel to Asia with the team.
Aldridge canceled his previous call requesting Henry to return to the team and resumed his vacation. He still has 5 days to rest.
However, at Andrew's suggestion, Henry came to the Leo training base alone and conducted restorative training alone at the training ground under the supervision of the stay-at-home coach.
When the outside world discovered that Henry had returned to London and appeared alone on the training ground, it aroused endless imagination.
Fleet Street's immediate reaction was: Henry was excluded from Millwall's pre-season preparation list and Henry is about to be sold!
However, Millwall denied it in the morning. The club spokesman announced: Henry returned to the team and renewed his contract with the club for five years. He will go to Asia to join the team in five days. Now, he is still on vacation and wants to
Whatever you do, the club will not interfere.
Once the news of Henry's contract extension was released, at least the doubts about his transfer were dispelled.
Some of the radical fans who came to the training ground that morning also began to fall silent.
For three consecutive days, Henry showed up on the training ground on time in the morning and afternoon and trained under the supervision and guidance of two coaches with a very serious attitude.
In the past three days, the fans watching on the sidelines of the training ground had an earth-shaking change in their attitude towards Henry.
At first, I was resistant. I felt that this guy was unkind. After coming to the club for two years and getting a lot of honors, I wanted to part ways with the club. All I saw was money.
But when the team flew to Asia, Henry was the only one on the first-team training ground. Because of this, he was training silently and hard alone, which fell into the eyes of the fans. The scene touched the fans, and most of them sighed:
Well, Thierry is still a good boy, come on!
As for the previous turmoil, Aldrich no longer cares about it. He is now the helmsman of a wealthy family and does not have so much energy to go tit-for-tat with an agent.
Andrew is not simply helping Aldrich. He is about to sign a contract with Henry, and the company has another world-class star.
Henry's agent, Andrew, sent the news to Fleet Street the day after Henry returned to training.
Henry was the center of attention all summer, and he still is to this day.
But his image has changed.
He became a victim and was tricked by his agent, who was always portrayed as a vampire!
They are secretly trying to prevent Henry from renewing his contract with Millwall, and are bent on promoting Henry's transfer to Juventus. Fleet Street reports on news are always based on the wind. If you give them a little wind, they will dare to stir up a big storm.
This kind of story is very cliché and is common in football.
The agent must be accepting black money!
How much money can you get from Henry's salary alone?
Henry's salary in the past year was about 1.5 million pounds. After tax, the remaining amount was only 800,000 to 900,000 pounds at most. The agent calculated it at 10%. Or a lower 5%, then the agent could only earn less than 900,000 pounds a year.
£100,000!
As Henry becomes famous, Henry's contract with this agent is about to expire. The other party has no confidence that Henry can continue to renew the contract with him, so he can make a lot of money at this time.
After all, he failed to sell Henry from Monaco two years ago, and it was Millwall's initiative to launch an offensive against Henry. In terms of business development resources and contacts, he cannot compare with those agents who are group-based or have backgrounds.
What a loss to Andrew, he is so easy to stab in the back.
The news was not only sent to Fleet Street, but also to the Italian media.
In fact, Andrew has had a lot of conflicts with the Italians in the past two years, which is essentially a business competition.
Except for players such as Pirlo and Materazzi who play for Millwall, Andrew is struggling in Italy. To quantify it, it means that he has worked hard for many years and the results are zero!
It's not that he can't sign Italian players. He has also successfully signed some players who were suggested by Aldridge. However, often after fulfilling the first contract between the player and his agent, none of these Italian players choose to renew.
After making an appointment, he switched to a brokerage company in Italy.
The biggest obstacle is the GEA brokerage company in which the Moggi family has a stake. Football is a very deep field in Italy. The background of GEA alone is unimaginably complicated, and some of the top names in Italy are involved.
Families, financial emperors, political giants, and of course the mafia are also involved. They control the ball.
Players, coaches, and influence covers many clubs in Serie A. The company's operations also have shady aspects. Money laundering is the most common. Club transactions are used as disguise. Therefore, there are many bizarre player transactions in Serie A, causing fans to call those in power a pig-headed person.
The reasons behind the transaction may have nothing to do with competitive football itself.
Does Juventus have no enemies in Italy?
Of course there are, there are enemies, and the media platforms will attack Juventus if they get the opportunity.
Andrew sent the story to the Italian media, and naturally "war" started there.
This kind of story seems normal to the Italian media.
Is it surprising that Juventus bought Thierry Henry's agent?
The news exposure was somewhat false, and some media even exaggeratedly said that Juventus promised to give Henry's agent a reward of 10 million pounds.
This is pure nonsense.
However, those who claim to know the inside story revealed that if Henry successfully transfers to Juventus, the agent can receive a generous reward of 1 million pounds, which is considered reasonable by the public.
Juventus manager Moggi is at the center of the scandal as journalists dig deep to uncover the truth, leaving the conspirator furious.
Henry didn't sign it, and he got into trouble as a result.
Public opinion is about spreading and creating influence. When most people are talking about a "truth", then this "truth" will be accepted.
Millwall fans learned the inside story about Henry's transfer turmoil and immediately took action. When Henry showed up at the training ground for a solo training session on the fourth day, there were countless fans outside the training base holding banners in support of Henry.
Henry is different from Anelka. At least he has never publicly commented on his transfer. His previous diplomatic rhetoric was basically one sentence: My agent is negotiating contract extension terms with Millwall and it will be completed soon.
.
In the afternoon, before Henry left the training ground, he spent a long time taking photos with the fans outside the training base and signing autographs for them.
The storm that happened to him has finally cleared up, and everything is back on track.
After that day's training, Henry drove to a manor in the suburbs. This was the mansion Andrew bought in London.
Dinner was ready, Henry came a little later than expected, and Andrew was very patient.
The two had dinner together, and Henry told Andrew about what he had seen at the training ground. He was beaming and very excited.
In just a few days, he regained the support of the fans, which cleared away the gloom in his heart.
"You will train as usual tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, I have arranged an exclusive interview with the BBC for you. You can go to Asia to meet the team the day after tomorrow."
When Henry heard what Andrew said, he shook his head and said: "I don't think there is any need to be interviewed anymore. Now all the problems have been solved."
His agent no longer knows where to hide. Anyway, there are countless people from the outside world who want to contact the protagonist at the center of the whirlpool.
It must be said that this agent made a very wrong choice.
That's escape!
What does it mean to escape? That is to confirm the accusation and not dare to defend yourself.
Henry has submitted an application to the court to terminate his agent contract early. The arbitration in France will be finalized within a week. With his reputation and current influence on public opinion, the matter should be settled soon. By then.
He will sign with Andrew.
Now, he admires Andrew for getting everything back on track.
"No, Thierry, you just regained the support of local fans. You have to be conscious and realize your current situation! You are not just a star of Millwall, you are a star of the Premier League and you are a star of France.
, you are a star in Europe! Your influence is greater than
Your imagination is bigger! So, go for an exclusive interview with the BBC tomorrow, let Europe and the world see you and listen to you more closely. This is to shape your image and let the public feel the real you, not just
You on the field for 90 minutes."
As soon as Andrew finished speaking, Henry scratched his head. He suddenly felt that the person in front of him knew "Henry" better than himself!
In fact, Henry is just not fully adapted to his level, but he must be familiar with this situation and enter this rhythm. Without doubting, shrinking, or hesitating, he can show himself with high spirits and show all aspects of a world-class star.
Henry accepted Andrew's suggestion.
In fact, he was extremely happy. He was famous at such a young age, so who would think it was a burden?
Andrew is happier.
He has secured another Millwall superstar, which will help his company expand.
This kind of situation is also common in the football circle. Italy's monopolistic industry status quo is considered an exception. For example, at Arsenal, the son of Vice Chairman Dane, Little Dane, is an agent. Adams, Berg
Camp, etc., these are all from Little Dane's company
Synonymous with loyalty, little Dane used his father as deputy chairman to recruit players. This is blameless, and Andrew also feels at ease. As long as Andrew will not go out like Dane in history. Little Dane continued to instigate rebellion against Arsenal generals in the following years.
Just defect to the Emirates Stadium.
Winning Henry is a crucial move for Andrew. Henry is in dire straits due to his former agent. In the future, the news that Andrew will become Henry's new agent will definitely be exposed. It will also be exposed that Henry's public relations crisis was caused by
Andrew solved it by himself, so this is a beautiful victory for him, and it can be used as a publicity case to win over more players.
Moreover, Andrew has always taken an international route.
The eldest brother Barnett's business empire has business network resources, what can Andrew do without? So he can contact more sponsors and bring more generous benefits to the players.
At the same time, since Millwall's stars come from different countries, Andrew has recruited them into his account and has a huge network in his own right.
Larsson in Northern Europe, Nedved in Eastern Europe, Germany, Italy, Brazil extending to Latin America...
The sponsors and companies in these places are intertwined in front of Andrew's eyes, forming a huge resource network, forming a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. The business is getting bigger and bigger like this. This is not an ordinary agent. Small agents can compare.
What about?
And now, he can expand his territory in France. Henry is a heavyweight who can bring more star power than Makelele!
While Barnett was creating the Hall family's Internet empire, Aldrich was already creating a dynasty of mad lions in European football, and Andrew, the middle of the three brothers, was also gradually becoming a veritable giant in the agent field.
