655 Head-to-head

Fleet Street likes to create a sensation. Recently, the transfer signings of various clubs are coming to an end. Judging from the preparations of each team, the final transfer is probably not worth looking forward to. But at this moment, Manchester United star Stam’s book The release of his autobiography has become the hottest topic in Fleet Street.

This autobiography is called "Head-to-head".

Two days later, the team was about to leave for Cardiff. When Aldridge returned home in the evening, there were figures flashing at the door of the community. Reporters from Fleet Street newspapers and tabloids were either acting alone or sitting in interview cars when they saw Aldridge driving. There was a traffic jam upon my return.

Aldridge still doesn’t know about Stam’s autobiography. In fact, the autobiography will be released today. The publisher will not announce the content in advance. Otherwise, will readers still buy it? Although when promoting it, they will promote something like "No." Look at the slogan "You will regret it for the rest of your life", but Aldridge has never cared about this. There are a lot of players playing in England, and many retire every year. Those who are active, retired, and a little famous will publish an autobiography to make extra money. Who has time to read autobiographies that are basically gossip?

Being blocked by a group of reporters, Aldridge felt helpless and took it for granted that it was probably another media outlet that broke the news that a heavyweight star would leave Millwall?

He lowered the window and wanted to send the reporter away, otherwise it would also affect other residents in the community. The residents here are middle-class and upwards and like to be clean.

"Mr. Hall, have you read Stam's autobiography?"

"Mr. Hall, how do you feel about Stam's evaluation of you in his autobiography?"

"Mr. Hall, will Millwall sue Manchester United? Stam's autobiography revealed that when he transferred and left Millwall, Manchester United contacted him privately in violation of regulations. Do you know about it?"

...

Aldrich was bewildered by a series of questions.

Stam's autobiography is out?

He led Millwall and crushed Manchester United at his feet. Naturally, he didn't worry about what was happening at Manchester United.

It happened, I saw it, and when I thought about it, I had some thoughts in my heart.

For example, Manchester United spent huge sums of money to bring in Veron in the summer.

Aldrich applauded!

Sir Alex Ferguson. Well done!

Millwall is a lot more relaxed in the new season.

Faced with reporters' machine-gun barrage of questions, Aldrich finally remembered.

It seems that Stam was kicked out of Manchester United this summer.

The unfortunate autobiography was released anyway, and Aldrich wondered: Why does he have anything to do with me again?

He looked calm and said honestly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Stam wrote an autobiography. I don't know what he wrote. I have to go home now. If there are any questions, we can talk another day."

The reporters didn't expect that Aldrich hadn't read the autobiography yet, and Aldrich's first-hand reaction was recorded by them. If they asked again, they wouldn't be able to tell anything, so the reporters dispersed and Aldrich drove home. .

As soon as he opened the door, Aldrich saw Yiwen sitting at the dining table, flipping through a book in his hand, cursing while reading.

"Ungrateful bastard!"

"Liar! Ass! Hypocritical!"

Ivan's gaffe made both Bert and Earl dumbfounded. The two little guys stared at Ivan blankly.

"Hey. What's wrong? Who do you have a deep hatred for?"

Ivan threw the book in his hand on the dining table with a look of disgust on his face. Aldrich glanced at it. It was "Head-to-head", Stam's autobiography.

Aldrich reached out to pick it up, but Yiwen picked it up first and threw the book away.

There was still anger on her pretty face, and she said angrily: "Don't pick it up!"

Aldridge smiled. When he was bombarded with questions from reporters, he roughly guessed that Stam would tell the story of the break between master and apprentice in his autobiography. Of course, Stam was starting from his perspective, and Aldrich

Odd, he must have become a villain.

He picked up the book and kissed his two sons on their foreheads before sitting down on the main seat. Then he read the autobiography while eating.

"Ha, I actually monopolized one article, it's really a big honor."

Aldrich did not expect that he would have a large chapter of his own in this autobiography.

This is probably related to the requirements of the publisher. Aldridge does not publish an autobiography and only accepts an interview once a year. Whenever a star who has interacted with him publishes an autobiography, he must write about his experience working with him. Rumor has it that Beckham will

In an autobiography, Aldridge will occupy a lot of space, and the main role is the England national team coach.

"Hmph, wait until you finish reading and see if you are still in the mood to eat."

Yiwen was still angry. She had a bad impression of Stam, not for anything else but because he was a traitor to the Mad Lion.

Aldrich turned over the designated page of the book and said with a smile: "A normal heart, a normal heart, let me tell you, as a head coach, it is impossible to have a good relationship with all the players on the team."

There are also conflicts of interest within the team, how can everyone be happy?

The difference is that some people burst out their dissatisfaction, while others can only hide it in their hearts.

Aldrich opened the page of his own chapter and read it while eating.

At the beginning of this article, Stam told the inside story of his departure from Millwall.

"My agent is Mr. Hall's brother. I told Andrew Hall the whole process of Manchester United's private contact with me. Before that, I had a verbal agreement with Aldrich Hall. At the end of that season

Finally, he would agree to my transfer to Manchester United, but even so, the outcome was obviously known a year ago. When it really happened, Aldrich Hall seemed to be crazy.

It was also unacceptable. He sent me to the reserve team, declared me a traitor, and refused to let me be with my teammates in the first team. He was worried that I would disrupt the morale of the team. I suffered an unprecedented humiliation. It seemed that under Aldrich Horton

In your eyes, I was a despicable villain who would destroy Millwall because of his impending transfer. At that time, I even suspected that Aldridge Hall was delusional."

puff

Hahaha

Aldrich squirted out the soup and laughed.

Yiwen's eyes looked like he was looking at a monster, and he asked, "Are you really looking at how he describes you?"

Aldridge replied: "I only saw the part where he reviewed the transfer and left."

"Hmph, what follows is nonsense. It seems that we should consider finding a lawyer to sue him! By the way. What's so funny?"

Aldridge rolled his eyes and said, "He said I was crazy. I suddenly thought, will Ferguson go crazy when he reads this autobiography?"

Yiwen's expression was astonished, and then he stopped laughing.

Stam personally revealed that Manchester United violated the rules and privately approached him about a transfer. Ferguson didn't know how he would feel.

Aldrich continued to turn back. Surprisingly, Stam's single chapter recorded much more content than Aldrich had imagined.

He played for Millwall for three years and used his understanding of Aldridge during these three years to make an evaluation and analysis from a personal perspective.

"Aldrich Hall, the success of a seasoned man who is good at manipulating people's hearts, opportunistic and cunning."

Aldrich was shocked by this series of adjectives.

Not to mention, this autobiography about him really interested him.

"Before 1994, I had never heard of Millwall, and many of my teammates who came to the team at that time must have never heard of this club before. However, this club gave us a very shocking experience. Impression, rich! Millwall spent more than 10 million pounds on signings that year, and the wages they gave us were 10 times higher than before, or even higher. I only earned 200 pounds a week in the Netherlands. When I came to Millwall Well, my salary has increased 20 times! Other players, as far as I know, Nedvěd’s salary has increased 30 times! His salary in the Czech Republic was unimaginably low. At the time, I thought it was the boss’s generosity, but when I left Only then did I realize that this might be the conspiracy of Aldrich Hall, who waved checks in the transfer market, created influence and sensation, and created an image of Millwall's ambition."

After reading this paragraph, Aldrich smiled and nodded. He said to himself: "Yes, yes, it is a conspiracy in itself. You don't know how much money the club actually has. In fact, after buying people, the club can only pay for two years." It’s just the team’s salary. If they don’t get promotion in the first year, Millwall will be absolutely doomed.”

"Maybe in the eyes of many people, Aldrich Hall is a famous coach, but in the first two years, he did not have absolute authority in the locker room. We just obeyed his tactical arrangements. This is the basic principle of the players. A group of powerful players like me, Thuram, Southgate, Makelele, Larsson, and Nedved have made this world-famous young coach. The reason is very simple. We have potential and we have We have a certain strength, and the team we formed is extremely strong in itself, but we were not well-known at the time, and our success laid the foundation for Aldrich Hall's success."

"Aldrich Hall is hypocritical. At the end of the 1996 season, Millwall had the opportunity to perform the miracle of winning the newly promoted championship. He worked very hard, but he did not dare to express his true thoughts. As a central defender, I felt that there was a problem with the team's physical fitness and emotions during the sprint phase. As the head coach, it was impossible for him not to notice it, but he did not dare to rotate or remove a certain main player because the whole team The team has gone crazy. Yes, we are extremely eager to win the championship, and the main players are stronger than the substitutes. Therefore, in every game, the main players should play, even if that is incorrect. I remember one game. It is very clear that before the game, Aldrich Hall kept reminding us to focus on defense and the team to play defensive counterattack. He reiterated this time and time again, but when it came to the field, the players forgot everything and only saw the opponent. We wanted to score goals, win, and win the championship trophy, but in the end, we tied and lost the chance to compete for the championship. After the game, Aldrich Hall did not criticize us, but comforted us and The responsibility fell on him. At that time, including me, all of us blamed ourselves, but we were moved by his words. It was after that game that Aldrich Hall showed care and concern. Tolerance won everyone's heart. At that time, we were young and easily touched. Now that we think about it, Aldrich Hall used his non-competitive strength to win support. We were actually deceived by his hypocrisy. He didn't even have the courage to criticize us! He just took advantage of the gap of loss and guilt in our hearts and took advantage of it! I don't deny that he has the magic power to make players work for him wholeheartedly, but he didn't do anything at the time. The true ability of the coach. That season, we were runners-up in the Premier League and were only one step away from a miracle. Aldridge Hall was not to blame, and it was for this reason that I came up with the idea of ​​​​transfer."

Aldrich smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Stam is really right!

I have never boasted to the outside world that I am a famous commander and how capable I am.

Winning the support of players and establishing authority in the locker room cannot be said to have been due to the record, but to a large extent, it was to use psychological means to win over people's hearts. After all, after living for more than 40 years, if you have a certain foundation of experience, you should give full play to your advantages.

ah.

Then again, Stam, toughness is easy to break. You are a real man, you dare to take action, you are a tough guy, so don't complain if you are kicked out by Ferguson, you are responsible for it.
