It was summer, but it rained heavily in London. Grenchar drove to the community where Aldrich's mansion was located. He drove out of his home in East London and paid careful attention to the scenery on the street along the way.
Times are changing with each passing day, and East London has changed a lot compared to when he arrived seven years ago. Even if it is still not as comfortable as Stamford Bridge and North London, at least the environment has improved dramatically.
For seven years, along the way in the Wild Lion Formation, Grenchar witnessed the rise of a dynasty. He was one of the cornerstones of this dynasty, but he was not the most important pillar.
This year, he is 24 years old.
It’s not like he spent his best years with the Mad Lion, but he was willing to serve but lacked the strength.
The companions and competitors around him left one after another, and they changed, Pires left, Shevchenko came, and after the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, the Brazilian wizard Ronaldinho turned out to be born.
Every day for the past seven years, every day, he said to himself: Work harder, get closer to the main position, and get closer. One day, he will step into the main position with his best friend Schneider.
Fight side by side, attack the city for the mad lion, and sweep across the green field!
The Wild Lions achieved an invincible victory over powerful opponents, but Glenchard went from being a substitute seven years ago to still being a substitute today. If he stays, he is still a substitute.
It's not that he doesn't work hard enough, it's that no matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with Ronaldinho, Henry, and Larsson.
After being substituted by Ronaldinho in the Champions League final, he saw Ronaldinho challenge Kufuor and then pass Anderson, and win against Kahn. When Grenchar rushed out of the bench to cheer, he suddenly felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
24 years old. Can be said to be the crossroads of a football player.
If a genius achieves nothing at this age, then the word genius can be removed directly from the top of his head. Late bloomers will inevitably miss the opportunity to be evaluated as geniuses when they are young.
Glenchard has never claimed to be a genius, but this is also a very critical period in his career. He continues to wait for opportunities on the bench at Millwall. I am afraid that when his career ends, he will always be just a substitute.
Even... In the end, he couldn't even keep his qualification as a substitute.
In the heavy rain, Grunchard drove to Aldrich's mansion. Yesterday, Aldrich returned from vacation and invited Grunchard to his home.
Driving the car into the garage of Aldrich's home, Glenshal got out of the car and saw Aldrich in a casual T-shirt waiting for him at the side door with a smile on his face, and his youngest son Earl beside him with a curious look on his face.
Staring at Grenchar, Earl immediately said: "Hello, uncle."
Glenchard was slightly absent-minded.
uncle?
Yes, at 24 years old, he is already an uncle.
And Aldrich is actually only one year older than him.
Aldrich closed the garage door and invited Glenchard into the room through the side door.
"Hey Jasper, did you have a nice holiday?"
Ivan, who used to work at Millwall Club, knew Glenchard, and she had already prepared a table of delicious food.
Glenchard replied casually: "Not bad."
In fact, he didn't go on vacation at all, but thought about it at home, and it took him more than half a month to finally make up his mind.
Aldrich specially opened two bottles of top-grade red wine from his collection, and exchanged glasses with Glenchard at the dining table.
At the dinner table, the master and apprentice did not talk about any football topics. Instead, they talked about life and topics that young people would care about.
When the dinner came to an end, Aldrich and Glenchard were the only two people left at the table.
I don't know if it was because of the alcohol. Grenchar suddenly lowered his head, tears dripping down his chin. Aldrich reached out and pressed his shoulder. Grenchar tilted his head to hold it, choking and saying: "Head."
Son, thank you."
All he could say was thank you.
It's not that Millwall doesn't want him, but that he knows that his demands and Millwall's requirements cannot be both satisfied.
Aldrich said softly: "Jesper, remember, Millwall will always be your home. If one day you want to come back, I will personally fly to pick you up!"
Glenchard burst into tears, once, twice, three times and four times, all the while nodding.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Grenchar sobered up and felt much more energetic, and formally bid farewell to Aldrich.
The two hugged in the garage, and when they parted, Aldrich said to him: "Bon voyage and good luck."
Then, he stood by the garage door and watched Grenchar's car slowly sinking into the heavy rain.
For a long time after the car disappeared into the rain, Aldrich stood at the edge of the garage, looking ahead blankly.
Facing each other day and night, the sadness brought by the departure of a partner who has been together for seven years is far stronger than the emotions when Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Helguera and others left.
Even if Grenjaer is far less important than Shevchenko, even if the transfer revenue he brings to the club is less than half of Shevchenko's.
Aldridge hopes that Grunshire will stay. If he stays, it will help Millwall's bench thickness and make the team stronger. But since Grunshire has chosen to leave, Aldridge will send his sincere blessings.
Millwall doesn't owe Glenshire, and Glenshire doesn't owe Millwall. There is only a bond of friendship established over seven years between the two.
Aldrich knew that if we said goodbye today, the future would be indefinite.
I am afraid that Glenchard will never play for another Premier League team in the future. He was not born in Millwall, but grew up in Millwall. In the past seven years, he has been behind every championship in Millwall. Although
Somewhat inconspicuous.
The next day, Millwall officially announced that it had reached a transfer agreement with the French Ligue 1 team Paris Saint-Germain, and Grenchar transferred to Paris Saint-Germain for 13 million pounds!
Tens of thousands of Lions fans logged on to Grenchar's personal homepage to leave messages, wishing Grenchar all the best in his new life in Paris.
Fans are rational. Glenchard played for Millwall for seven years. Although he did not have much credit, his hard work was real. When he stayed, everyone welcomed him. When he left, everyone blessed him.
After going to Paris Saint-Germain, Grunciar could play the main role and his income had increased. Aldridge could not say anything to persuade Grenciar to stay.
Champion?
He stayed at Millwall and continued to serve as a substitute. As a substitute, he also won the championship. What's the point of having a few more?
Aldridge also had an in-depth discussion with his second-time Paris Saint-Germain coach and old friend Fernandez about the transfer of Grenjaer, and only nodded to let him go after receiving the other party's guarantee.
Summer transfers in European football are in full swing. Recruitment by wealthy clubs is the biggest attraction, while Millwall focuses on stability. Now it is difficult for the outside world to accuse Millwall of inaction in the transfer market: successful teams do not change!
At this time, looking back at Millwall's transfer investment over the past summers, Fleet Street was full of praise, believing that on the basis of their victories, the Lions continued to cultivate successors and cultivate fresh blood, making the team's lineup strong for a long time.
.
On the first weekend of July, another guest came to Aldridge's home, Tottenham's new chairman: Daniel Levy.
Tottenham's record in recent years has been poor. The previous boss Suga was criticized by fans and even received death threats from fans. Under the pressure, Tottenham was sold in the first half of the year and acquired by the enic group represented by Levy. This enic group has obvious
Jewish Stamp: Make Money!
Everything is with the ultimate goal of making money.
Moreover, ENIC has great ambitions and has since had a dispute with UEFA in court, because they not only control Tottenham, but also control two other second-tier clubs in European football. UEFA promotes civilian policies in the European war.
Transformed poverty alleviation strategies will reap the consequences, enic
If the controlled teams meet in the European war, it is very likely to arouse the "agreement ball" conjecture. After all, the owners behind the scenes are the same group. This lawsuit will be protracted, and UEFA is not a court, and they cannot fight against EU laws.
, and therefore, UEFA has its own
Our own way to deal with this is to separate these teams when drawing lots. As for how to divide them, you need to use a blind method, but the hidden worry is still there, because no matter how you draw lots, such as the UEFA Cup, if Tottenham and another ENIC Holdings
teams met in the final, for
In order to maximize the club's income, the results of the game will still arouse suspicion from the outside world, but this hidden worry has never materialized in the next ten years. This may be related to the fact that Tottenham aims at the Champions League rather than the UEFA Cup. In the Champions League, Tottenham
There is no absolute strength that can defeat him all at once.
Levi brought gifts when he came, which were valuable. When he walked into Aldrich's house, he looked very solemn. Seeing his cautious appearance, Aldrich smiled secretly in his heart.
Before that, he had heard Arthur mention this Levi. At the last roundtable meeting of Premier League bosses, Levi attended for the first time. His behavior during the whole process was, in Arthur's words, like a "frightened child."
Aldridge thought that the other party was trying to imitate Ridsdale and wanted to come to Millwall to buy players, but Levi opened his mouth and Aldridge was stunned.
"Lease?"
Levi, who has a bald head and glasses, looks gentle and gentle, but he also has the potential to be cunning. Fortunately, his serious expression prevents people from thinking wrongly.
"Well, Tottenham don't have much money to transfer players this summer. I looked through the club's past management diary and found that in January this year, Millwall proposed to loan Lampard and Ashley Cole, but in the end
Unable to reach an agreement, these two players went to Charlton and performed extremely well, helping Charlton achieve the upper reaches of the Premier League. I think if Millwall is still willing to loan them out this season, Tottenham can afford them
Salary during the loan period.”
Charlton's final ranking in the league last season, no one believed it, was sixth in the league! Behind them was Ipswich, and then Chelsea, with Lampard and Ashley Cole indispensable. And Heat.
Where are the Thorns? 13th in the league.
Aldrich originally thought that Jews were very rich, but he didn't expect Levi to be very down-to-earth.
Tottenham have no money now, so they have to survive. As the economy gradually improves, they will be able to invest again and take a pragmatic route.
Tottenham has another group of old, weak, sick and disabled players in their ranks. If they want to bring back the glory of this club, they will almost have to tear it down and start all over again.
Not long ago, Tottenham had an earthquake-level transfer incident.
General Sol Campbell, who was fully convinced that his contract would be renewed, actually defected to White Hart Lane as a free agent, walked out of the house, walked into Highbury, and put on the jersey of his mortal enemy Gunners!
In such a precarious period of internal and external troubles, Levy still prioritizes streamlining and running the house. If he can't buy people, he can just rent good players. This is also the hope of current coach Glenn Hoddle.
Millwall has no grudges with Tottenham. The other party is willing to help with leveling. It is in London and the team coach also has a certain prestige. Aldridge does not make things difficult for Levy, and he has added another player, Joe Coe. you.
The only additional condition is that in the loan contract, better personal treatment should be added to the players, such as additional goal bonuses and winning bonuses during the loan period.
Levi did not hesitate and nodded in agreement. Levi, who had just arrived, and Aldrich completed a cooperation between the clubs in a friendly manner.
After Glenjar's transfer departure, Millwall announced that three players would leave the team on loan.
Joe Cole, Lampard, and Ashley Cole went to White Hart Lane on loan for one season. (To be continued...)
