810 Wash away the dark blue, see you again with swordsmen
The countdown to the World Cup is ringing every second, and the global football feast that takes place every four years is about to begin with great anticipation. The chapters are updated the fastest
On the eve of this, Europe, the Italian city of Milan, took the lead in detonating a wave of passion among Italian fans.
The sun was shining brightly, and there were crowds of people outside the airport hall. Fans held up various slogans, and the most common word was: Welcome home!
When a group of people walked out of the airport, the cheers suddenly broke out and became louder and louder!
Guarded by airport security and private bodyguards, the group of people slowly walked out.
Before the Italian national team left for Asia, Pirlo, Gattuso, Materazzi and Gianluca Zambrotta took half a day off to leave the national team training base and came to Milan.
The four of them are casually dressed, handsome and handsome. Even Gattuso has the charm of a different kind of tough guy after tidying up. The man walking next to the four of them in a suit and tie is none other than Aldridge's brother Andrew. Behind them, there is Millwall.
The club's negotiation team, as well as Andrew's agent team.
When the four people walked out, cheers broke out one after another.
The fans who came here to greet them were divided into two groups, the fans of the Milan duo, who clearly welcomed the arrival of their new signings.
The crowds of people cheering and worshiping before their eyes made the four of them deeply moved.
I recall that when they left Italy for England, they were unknown and no one cared about them. They seemed to be labeled as death sentences by the Italian media. They had no future in their careers because they left Italy, European football, and world football.
Peak stage!
However, seven or eight years later, they returned here like a savior. They were about to join two of the three traditional Italian giants, and were expected to bring Italian football back to the top of Europe!
The greeting teams sent by AC Milan and Inter Milan have parked their cars outside and opened their doors, waiting for the star they are about to sign with a huge sum of money to get in.
The four stars whose names were cheered by the crowd all stopped in front of the car and turned around to look around. In the slightly empty and deserted airport hall, an illusory figure seemed to appear.
The four people's eyes were vague, as if they saw a tall and majestic man staring at them in the distance. That was the "boss" they had called for seven or eight years.
There was no farewell between them, and they did not even meet after the Champions League final. There was only a letter delivered to them by Andrew in person in Italy.
The content of the letters from the four people was the same. It was a beautiful photo. It was a group photo of the entire Millwall team and the coach after the Champions League final. They were smiling innocently, and every player with a medal around his neck was trying to distance himself from Odry.
Qi was closer, clustered around him, and behind the photo, there were handwritten words.
treasure!
Aldridge didn't try to keep them anymore. He didn't act with affection and reason, and let them go freely. He didn't let the highly publicized transfer turn into a soap opera that everyone hated.
This makes the relationship between the four of them, Millwall and Aldridge over the past seven or eight years even more special and transcendent.
The proud sons of Italy have returned to their motherland, to the embrace of their hometown fans, to a land they are more familiar with and freer, but they know that in this life, there is a mark in their hearts that has become sacred.
Before parting, Gattus Pirlo, the two turned around, Materazzi Zambrotta, the two also turned around, and the four hugged each other.
"Goodbye."
Materazzi said first.
"Are you sure? I think it's best not to see each other again outside the national team."
Pirlo smiled cheerfully.
Zambrotta said: "That's because you are afraid."
Pirlo pulled Gattuso and said: "With him here, what should I be afraid of?"
Gattuso shrugged and said: "He messed with me. I can bully him, but you can't."
Materazzi turned around and got into the car, leaving a few words.
"Just take care of you first."
Pirlo and Gattuso lowered their heads and smiled, then turned around and got into the car.
Four people divided into two groups and left in a car.
The four of them all know in their hearts that their club careers will be turned upside down when they say goodbye today.
Wash away the sacred deep blue in their eyes, Gattuso and Pirlo walked into red and black, the place they stood on was called San Siro, Gianluca Zambrotta and Matera were all wrapped in blue and black, and the stage under the sky was called Meazza
.
Although it is the same battlefield, if the four of them meet again, they will no longer be brothers fighting side by side, no longer comrades working together, but they will inevitably meet with swords in a fierce battle in Milan Derby!
The crowd outside the airport dispersed. Not only were the fans chasing the whole thing, but the media helicopters were also covering the whole thing in the sky above the streets.
"The World Cup will start in less than a week, but at this time, the two giants in Milan, AC Milan and Inter Milan, will announce major signings. We will report on the spot four stars who have played for Millwall for more than 5 years.
, Materazzi and Zambrotta will go to Inter Milan Club for medical examination, Pirlo and Gattuso will go to a
c Milan club has conducted a medical examination and the transfer has progressed to this stage, indicating that the two clubs have reached an agreement on the transfer negotiations with the Premier League giant Millwall. I believe that the transfer fees for the four players will be astronomical. Maybe the transfer market last summer
The madness will continue this summer, and it will still be Italy that sets off a storm in the European transfer market!"
Parts of the physical examination process of the four players were made public by both clubs at the same time. Italian fans quickly saw the photos of the four players showing their toned muscles and smiling and giving a thumbs up during the physical examination.
Half a day later, Inter Milan took the lead in announcing the blockbuster transfer news.
"Materazzi and Zambrotta join Inter Milan for a transfer fee of 60 million pounds!"
AC Milan took the next step to announce the results of transfer signings.
"Pirlo and Gattuso join AC Milan for a transfer fee of 70 million pounds!"
The fans in Milan cheered for joy. Inter Milan strengthened its defense and AC Milan had the best midfield combination in Europe.
In London, Millwall Club later officially confirmed the transfer of four players and published an open letter to fans after the four parted ways on the official website.
Lions fans had a shocking day.
There had been a lot of news in the transfer market before, but they didn't want to believe it because in the past many years, during every transfer period, these news would appear. But none of them had become a reality. But this time, not only did the rumors come true, but it also became a reality.
Four key players left on the same day!
This scene is very similar to the summer of 1998, when half of Millwall's main team was divided up by European powers!
After being shocked, the Lions fans calmly accepted the reality. Most fans are still grateful for everything these four people have contributed to Millwall in the past. I wish them all the best when they return to Italy. Fans are not too worried about the future because they have
Aldrich!
"The new season has not yet arrived, and Millwall is the first to pocket £130 million!"
Millwall's ability to make money is so ruthless!
The cost of these four players coming to the team was almost zero. There is nothing wrong with paying their salaries. Which team does not pay their players salaries?
Therefore it can be said that Millwall made a net profit of £130 million!
This is also in line with the impression Millwall gives to the outside world. It is simply a model of a club that combines competition and management in the world today!
It was also Aldridge's idea to finalize player transfers before the World Cup. Moreover, when the transfer was announced, the team was still in the process of flying to Japan. In this way, he avoided the harassment of Fleet Street and waited until the plane landed.
By then, he had fully entered the role of national team coach and would no longer respond to any questions about the club.
On the other hand, it also minimizes the negative public opinion impact of the four generals leaving the team. The World Cup is coming soon, and the eyes of the world will be focused on South Korea and Japan. Fleet Street will not hype Millwall's transfer news, giving fans a buffer.
Space, after the World Cup is over, the news of the transfer of these four people has long been outdated and everyone has accepted it.
The England national team will go directly to Japan on this trip, because all their games will be played in Japan. According to the situation after grouping, all group matches will be in Japan. Even if they enter the knockout rounds, future games will be played in Japan.
An hour before the plane was about to arrive in Japan, the atmosphere on the plane was no longer as lively as it was when the plane departed.
The flight time from London to Japan was a bit grueling, and everyone was jet-lagged, so I couldn’t say I was physically uncomfortable, but I felt a little uncomfortable after all.
The players were busy with their own things on the plane. Some were listening to music, some were reading, and some were chatting quietly.
bang bang
Aldridge stood in the aisle of the plane and clapped his hands, attracting the players' attention.
Joe Cole pushed Rooney who was still snoring next to him. Rooney opened his eyes and rubbed them. He saw Aldridge facing everyone in the aisle, so he cheered up and held his head high.
Aldridge looked serious, looked around at all the players and said solemnly: "When the plane lands and we step off the plane, our World Cup journey will officially begin!"
The players stopped other actions and listened attentively. At this time, their eyes involuntarily became firm.
Aldridge continued: "When we set out, there were voices from the outside world setting goals for us, and there were also people who were trying to relieve us, saying that we were young and just tried our best. But I want to tell you, when we set foot on Japan
After winning the World Cup, when we actually reach the World Cup stage, we have only one goal: to win the championship!"
Win the championship!
Aldridge spoke so loudly that the players' breaths froze, and some had incredible colors in their eyes.
They didn't dare to think or believe that the coach in front of them would actually say such a thing.
Aldridge looked at Irving and said solemnly: "Without the goal of winning the championship, we can't reach the Hercules Cup!"
Owen couldn't help but nodded.
Aldridge looked at Beckham again and said: "Without the belief to win the championship, we will not be able to break out into a fighting force beyond our level!"
Xiaobei also nodded firmly, the light of victory in his eyes getting stronger and stronger.
Aldrich opened his hands and said: "Our goal is the championship, this is what you must always keep in mind! Why? If you don't step onto that stage with firm belief, you may give up halfway and just
When you relax, you will tell yourself: enough is enough, I can perform well, it’s okay
I have explained to the fans that the top 8 and the top 4 may already be a great achievement for me at this age! Wrong, wrong, wrong! What does it mean to work hard to go further? What does it mean to reach the top 8 as a guarantee to reach the standard?
What is it that we are still young, is it a temper?f!no!If you have it in your heart
With this thought, we may not even be able to qualify in the group! We are weak, yes, we are young, yes, we are not favored, yes. But, why can't we be the champion? Why not? Why? I tell you
All of us, we can be! Is it hard? Hard! But
As long as we win 7 games, we will be the fucking world champions! If you have such ambition, such desire to conquer, and possessiveness to hold the Hercules Cup tightly with both hands! We are crawling, we are kneeling
, even if we have a bloody head and a broken leg, we can still go to the top of the world!"
The players at the scene were completely excited. The youngest Rooney stood up directly, clenched his fists and shouted: "I want the World Cup!"
The other players also stood up one after another, nodding to each other with slightly ferocious expressions.
At this moment, they swept away all the different thoughts about the World Cup in their hearts and told themselves firmly and unitedly: Champion! Go for the championship! If not for the championship, it is better not to go!
The one who was most affected here was Terry. He also stood up and roared. It was difficult not to be affected by the atmosphere here. He could feel that the distance between him and all his teammates was getting closer, because everyone had the same goal.
It's as if Aldrich's few words made everyone condense from different parts into an inseparable whole.
And this is a kind of ability and courage that he cannot feel in Ranieri. Ranieri is a good coach in his heart, but in terms of ability, the impact brought by Aldrich is more profound and more powerful.
Shocking effect.
You can't help but work for him, fight for him, listen to his command, and accept all his arrangements. Aldridge is like a crazy preacher, with the magic power to confuse people, and this is what a strong team needs!
