Thanks to "The Thief" and "Shimadzu" for the reward!
-----------------------
Leeds United poached a number of players represented by Ferdinand, many of whom were forced by Aldridge to Leeds United. It would be a profit for Millwall to make a one-time deal. After all, if those players were put up for sale, they would be transferred to Leeds United.
The membership fee will definitely not be that high.
The one with the greatest potential was Ferdinand. Two years ago, Millwall had far greater financial resources than Leeds United, but the personal treatment offered by Leeds United impressed Ferdinand.
Is it because Millwall can't afford a weekly salary of £40,000?
Of course not.
But both Ferdinand himself and the Millwall club know that he will never get such a generous salary at Millwall, not even 30,000.
The 28-year-old Ferdinand can earn more than 100,000 pounds a week, but it does not mean that the 21-year-old is worthy of a top salary.
This is about a topic that is often discussed in football circles: the salary system.
The more top clubs are, the stricter the control over the salary system. Just like a company, individual performance contribution is linked to income. If the salary system is chaotic, players will be dissatisfied with the club.
Andrew sat next to Aldridge and patiently pondered his plan to drain Leeds United.
Leeds United's debt is getting higher and higher. Ridsdale's idea is wonderful. As long as they play the Champions League every year, it doesn't matter whether they win the Premier League championship or not. The money will definitely be repaid.
But there are only four Champions League places. Millwall, Manchester United, and Arsenal are currently the top three teams. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Leeds United are the top three teams competing for a place.
Leeds United's strength is not yet strong enough to lock in the top four.
And because they do not have a strong financial background, their capital chain is very fragile. As long as they miss the Champions League for one or two seasons, they will be at the end of their rope.
At that time, in order to cash out and avoid being liquidated, isn’t that just letting others slaughter you?
Andrew felt furious, lit a cigarette, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "If I am jealous and have a dark heart, will it be bad for my reputation?"
He has already made up his mind that if Leeds United sells his players in the future, the transfer fee will start at a rate of at least 20%, which is at least double the rate agreed upon in the industry.
About 10% is the proportion that brokerage companies take in ordinary transfer transactions. For a sky-high transfer of 20 million pounds, the brokerage company can take 2 million pounds, which is already a lot. If converted into RMB, it would be 30 million pounds.
In ordinary transactions, the agent wants to extort more. It is almost impossible. The club has the confidence not to let the person go and let the transaction abort. The buying club is not the one who is taking advantage of it and will pay extra fees. Moreover, doing so is a bit bad and leads to greedy people.
Notoriety.
But if Leeds United is in desperate need of cash, they will have no choice but to compromise, otherwise what? The players will still have to be paid, and they will not be able to collect cash to repay their debts. What will happen is that they will be liquidated and bankrupt, and then the players will be sold by the custodian and transferred.
The income from the club has nothing to do with the club, it will be used to pay off debts.
Aldrich waved his hand towards Andrew, declined the cigarette offered by the other party, and said calmly: "Agents don't have a good reputation in front of the club. The reputation of an agent is relative to the player. The player is willing to sign with you, not because of you.
You are good-looking, but you can help players take care of their affairs, and the key point is making money and managing money, which many players don’t understand.”
Andrew thought about it, and the remaining hesitation in his heart completely disappeared.
Andrew thought of something again, couldn't help but laugh, took a breath of cigarette, coughed several times and then leaned in front of Aldrich and whispered: "If that day comes, you and I will be hated by Leeds United fans for the rest of our lives, right?"
Aldrich raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
When he was sold to Leeds United, there was another clause in the contract: 30% of the player's next transfer income went to Millwall!
Ridsdale's idea at the time was to buy those players and go to Leeds United. The outstanding players who could produce must be the mainstay of the White Rose Dynasty for at least ten years. Those who couldn't produce would be worthless if they were sold, and they wouldn't lose much.
.
Besides, when it comes to player trading, how can there be a guaranteed profit without loss?
Among the wealthy clubs in the world, if you break down the transfer transactions, there will definitely be a lot of parallel imports, and Millwall is the only exception.
Millwall takes 30%, and Andrew starts with 20%. If Leeds United sells players in the future, they will definitely lose everything.
After seeing Andrew off, Aldrich went upstairs to prepare for a rest. He pushed open his son's bedroom and took a look. Yiwen happened to put down a children's book before going to bed and turned to Aldrich with a silent gesture.
It was hard to get the guy to fall asleep.
Aldrich went into the bathroom to take a shower. When he returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed, Yiwen was still asleep. She turned to look at him and asked softly: "Are you worried?"
Aldridge nodded and said: "I used to be naive and believed that racists were actually disguised as mocking others. Millwall first came to the Premier League and was looked down upon, so they encountered such treatment."
Yi Wen reached out to touch his face and said softly: "Don't be stupid, lunatic, idiot, abnormal psychology, why are you studying it?"
Aldrich looked stunned, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense."
He doesn't understand the mentality of racists anyway, but since this kind of people's views on race are wrong and distorted, he, a normal person, doesn't bother to investigate.
Opening his arms and taking Yiwen into his arms, Aldrich closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, the evidence of the match accusation compiled by Millwall was sent to the Football Association, and at the same time it was announced: The Football Association was asked to severely punish Leeds United player Bowyer!
As for the racial discrimination scandal that broke out in the stadium, Millwall can complain, but it is not qualified to ask the Football Association to do anything. However, regarding individual players, the club has a position and is qualified to express its appeal.
The team has a day off today, and Aldridge went to visit Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho was recuperating at home, lying on a lounge chair in the back garden, holding a laptop in his hand and watching videos.
When Aldrich arrived, it was Ronaldinho's girlfriend who opened the door for him.
I don’t know how many girlfriends Ronaldinho has had. Anyway, Aldridge can’t remember it. It seems like there are new faces every time he sees them.
At this point, Aldridge has no right to interfere with Ronaldinho's private life. He also knows in his heart that Ronaldinho has actually restrained himself a lot. He just doesn't want to be disappointed with him, but he still has to live his private life, and occasionally go to nightclubs to have fun.
, there are many women around him, and he is trying to maintain a balance between his indulgent desires and his work as a professional player.
Aldridge saw Ronaldinho watching the video and curiously looked at the laptop screen. The video had been paused and it was a game video. He could tell what game it was at a glance.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal match.
Millwall beat Leeds United 6:1 in the away game, Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 2:1 in the away game, and the two teams that entered the final surfaced after the first leg of the semi-finals. Millwall is definitely
There will be no surprises. Even if the apocalypse comes, Millwall will not lose 5 points to Leeds United in the second leg at home.
Bayern Munich should also be sure of success, and the German team leader is unlikely to miss at home.
Aldridge was very happy. Ronaldinho was able to study game videos while recovering from his injury. He seemed to have a firm desire to play in the finals.
Seeing Aldrich's arrival, Ronaldinho grinned widely and brought the tray on the table next to him to Aldrich. There were various fruits on it and a bottle of fruit juice.
Aldrich poured a glass of fruit juice, and after Ronaldinho's girlfriend brought a comfortable chair, he sat down next to Ronaldinho and said, "I see you are in a good mood."
"What if?"
Aldridge burst into laughter. Ronaldinho, an optimist, cannot be said to enjoy happiness in hardship. His nature is like this, and it is not his style to show a long face when he is bitter and resentful.
Ronaldinho happened to have watched the Bayern Munich game almost, and he had doubts in his mind, so he asked: "Boss, why do I feel that Bayern Munich is so much weaker than the previous two years?"
Ronaldinho is like his predecessors, aliens. When studying game videos, the point of view is definitely not to see the overall situation like a head coach. As an offensive player, of course he is to look at the defensive characteristics and habits of defensive players and think about how to defeat them.
opponent.
After watching the game video, Ronaldinho had an intuitive feeling: This Bayern Munich is not as strong as when they played against each other before.
Two years ago, Millwall fell to Munich. A year ago, Millwall succeeded in revenge. This year, as expected, the two teams will meet for the third consecutive year, and the battlefield will be the final.
Aldrich took a sip of the juice and asked instead, "How do you think your strength has changed now compared to who you were two years ago, and compared to who you were a year ago?"
Ronaldinho blurted out without thinking: "Of course he is stronger."
This is not nonsense. In front of the head coach, if he says he is worse than before, then he is just a fool! Even if he says he is about the same, it is a kind of self-denial. It means that he has not improved in the past two years, so what is the time and energy spent on?
Up there?
After answering the question, Ronaldinho saw Aldrich staring at him with a half-smile, and he suddenly realized.
It's not that Bayern Munich's strength has decreased, but that its own strength has improved!
Aldrich said: "Bayern Munich's players, especially the defensive players, have passed the period of improving their technical ability and experience. Two years ago, they were almost finalized and reached a certain height. It is difficult to make progress. All they have to do is maintain their condition.
, don’t decline, they have done a good job in this. But we were still on the rise two years ago, especially you. At 19 years old, you have technical talents, but you have not yet fully exploited them. Henry, Pirlo, Gianluca Zambrotta
,
Gattuso, they have all accumulated experience after stabilizing their technical abilities, improving their game reading ability, some abilities invisible to the naked eye. Bayern Munich is maintaining the peak strength of this team's own team. We are still making progress in the past two years.
Because the ultimate potential of our team is higher than that of the opponent, when your strength continues to improve, and then look back at the strength of Bayern Munich's players, you will have the illusion that the opponent's strength is declining."
Ronaldinho's own thoughts were verbally confirmed by Aldrich, and his doubts disappeared.
"Boss, I want to play in the Champions League final."
He was like a stubborn child. He suddenly said such a sentence with an extremely solemn expression.
Aldrich smiled and said, "Then just take good care of yourself."
Ronaldinho nodded and said yes.
He wants to be a witness and contributor to Millwall's glorious history. Even if he fails to make it to the final, no one will question his importance and contribution to Millwall, but that is the Champions League final!
The opponent is Bayern Munich, a recognized strong team in Europe.
Even though Ronaldinho feels that Bayern Munich's strength has "diminished" in his eyes, Bayern Munich is still very strong.
In fact, Bayern Munich has only three players in the team who can be considered super first-class players this year.
Kahn the Lion, Effenberg the Tiger, and Lizarazu.
Among them, Effenberg also added points for his spiritual leadership ability, which made his overall strength reach a super first-class level.
There is no standard offensive player here.
Most of the other players are top-notch, and a few are barely top-notch.
But football is far from a calculation of player ability superimposed on strength.
The biggest feature of Bayern Munich's strength is correct tactics and tacit teamwork, and head coach Hitzfeld is indispensable.
Aldrich chatted with Ronaldinho for almost two hours before standing up to leave. He didn't come empty-handed. He specially selected some movie DVDs that suit the young man's appetite and sent them to Ronaldinho to kill time. In fact, he was worried about Ronaldinho recuperating.
Restless, it would be bad if moving around delayed the recovery from injury. In his heart, Aldrich also hoped that Ronaldinho could recover from his injury before the Champions League final, whether it was for the team's consideration or Ronaldinho's personal consideration.
