The Ritz Hotel is often visited by gentlemen and celebrities, which is not surprising. It is not surprising to meet the Italian Armani and Aldrich here.
After receiving Aldrich's hand gesture, Armani sat down in the empty seat next to him. The three hot girls opposite, Victoria, Halliwell, and Emma lowered their heads and gathered together, exclaiming in unison: "Armani!
Oh, my god!"
"Are you here for the ferry trip?"
Aldrich looked normal. In fact, in London, he could meet many celebrities. If he wanted to, he would attend various events and banquets with his eldest and second brothers every day. His social circle would penetrate into the entertainment circle, political circle, business circle, etc.
"No, I'm here to prepare for the autumn fashion show. I'm here to have dinner with a few models today."
Following Armani's gaze as he looked back, Aldrich saw a group of gorgeous young girls sitting at a table not far away. Some of them were smiling and ogling, not sure if they were trying to please the boss or not.
For Aldrich.
Aldrich looked back and nodded: "Understood, Mr. Armani, with all due respect, what do you want from me? Do you want to ask them to be models?"
Armani smiled and said: "I can't afford them. Their one-time appearance fee is enough for a team's annual budget. I'm here to find you, Mr. Hall. When I came to London, I opened different newspapers at will.
, seeing that your appearance rate is very high, some people are born to be models, and I think you are just such a person. Standing on the sidelines of the football field, holding your head high, not only do you not have the frivolity of young people, but you are confident and restrained.
You are filled with an indescribable charm that makes people unable to take their eyes off you. Most men will want to imitate you because this can make themselves more attractive to women."
The Spice Girls were excited again. They didn't expect that a big shot like Armani would also know about them.
But Aldrich raised a slight smile and said straight to the point: "Mr. Armani, thank you for the compliment, but you didn't answer my question."
"How about endorsing Armani men's clothing?"
"I don't have time to shoot commercials, and apart from wearing a coat in winter, I wear a suit at other times."
"There is no need to shoot commercials. If you put on an Armani suit, you will be on camera every weekend. The same goes for wearing an Armani coat in winter. Of course, if you want, we can give you free casual clothes. In daily life, you can wear whatever you like.
I think the British paparazzi will occasionally make you appear in gossip headlines."
Aldrich smiled silently after hearing this.
The advertising and endorsement fees of football stars will become higher and higher. This is due to the development of broadcast technology and the promotion of football culture. Unlike film and television stars, the exposure rate of sports stars is fixed. For example, football stars can be seen almost every weekend.
When you appear in front of the camera, whether you perform poorly or perform well, you will always be the center of attention.
What about film and television stars? TV series will not be played repeatedly, and the cycle of movies is too long. Variety shows that require exposure may not be liked by everyone. In the UK, football is the most popular entertainment program, with men, women, and children reaching the largest audience.
Extensive.
Aldridge turned around and pointed to the upper left corner of the suit he was currently wearing, where there was the Millwall team logo. He said: "The last condition, the suit or coat tailor-made for me must have Millwall on it."
Wall FC crest."
Armani pondered for a moment and then nodded and said: "Yes, this will make your outfit more alternative and attract more attention."
Millwall's team emblem represents the football club, not a clothing brand. There is no conflict of commercial interests. It is not difficult for Armani to accept it. On the contrary, a head coach who wears a suit with the club's brand will be more attractive.
, special, different.
Aldrich took out a pen from the inner pocket of his suit, then wrote a phone number on a napkin, handed the napkin to Armani, and said: "Please talk to him about the endorsement fee, Andrew Hall, my
elder brother."
"Okay, see you later."
Armani took the napkin and stood up to leave the table.
As soon as he took off, Emma asked excitedly: "Aldrich, why aren't you excited at all? That's Armani, Giorgio Armani!"
Aldrich picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and said calmly: "If I were arrogant and respectful to him, he wouldn't ask me to speak for him. What he wants is my confidence and maturity. Furthermore, if I meet him here,
You might be a little excited to see Maradona, but I’m sorry to see him. I’ve met a few celebrities, but I’ve never been interested in fashion.”
"You're so boring!"
"Thank you, I don't like to be a clown in other people's eyes."
"You say I'm a clown?"
"No, I'm just past the age of chasing stars."
"You're younger than me!"
"But my mental age is more mature than yours."
"you!"
Emma gritted her teeth angrily, while Victoria joked: "Aldrich, if you continue to bicker with her, your maturity will disappear."
Aldrich nodded in deep agreement: "That's right, if we continue to get entangled in words, she and I will be on the same level. Ladies, it's getting late. I should go home and rest. Come on, I'll call a car for you."
After walking out of the Ritz Hotel, Aldrich said goodbye to them one by one. Before leaving, Melanie smiled at him and said: "I'll wait for you in Liverpool."
"Forget it, your whole family will be unhappy."
"Humph, what are you proud of? Liverpool is not Arsenal. It can let you take away the victory easily, and it is at Anfield?"
"We'll see."
After seeing off the five hot girls, Aldrich also drove home.
The next day, Aldrich received a call from Andrew at home. The matter of endorsement of Armani was settled. He only accepted a one-year contract and an endorsement fee of half a million pounds. This is not low in this era. Aldrich
After agreeing, two days later, Armani sent a tailor to measure Aldrich's height, and then went back to wait for their tailor-made clothes to be delivered to his door.
In the second round of the Premier League, in addition to the Arsenal defeat at the Lion's Den, the Red Army Liverpool lost to Leeds United away from home, and the defending champion Blackburn Rovers lost to Sheffield Wednesday away from home. These two games were also very eye-catching, while Manchester United defeated West Ham United.
The team is on the right track, with Newcastle United leading the standings with two consecutive wins.
Because there is a League Cup match next week, an away game against Grimsby in League Two, Aldridge is preparing to be a substitute in the fourth round of the Premier League to challenge the defending champion Blackburn, so he will play the third round away game at Anfield.
, he attaches great importance to it.
I have been studying tactical strategies since mid-week, repeatedly studying the videos of Liverpool's first two games this season, and then formulating corresponding tactical strategies.
Although they won the League One championship last season, these young men actually have nothing internally and are empty of honors. After drawing with Manchester United and defeating Arsenal, their training attitude became more serious and they hope to prove themselves on the big stage of the Premier League.
After the weekend, Aldridge led the team to Merseyside.
This port city has a unique charm, but Millwall had no time to appreciate it. They took the bus to Anfield, then warmed up, and returned to the locker room to prepare. When it was time to go out, Aldridge said nothing.
The Red Army Liverpool, wearing their traditional red jerseys, were already waiting in the tunnel to play. When the Millwall boys came out, Aldridge followed them, especially stopping in front of a sign on the wall before going down the stairs.
pace.
He raised his head, looked at the sign, called Larson in front of him, and asked softly: "Henrik, what does it say?"
Larson looked at the sign with the Liverpool emblem, and the Liverpool players next to him looked arrogant, as if to say: Country bumpkins, don’t you even know this?
"This is Anfield!"
Larson said flatly.
Aldrich dug his ears and muttered: "What did you say?"
"Boss, this is Anfield!"
Larson repeated it loudly, and the teammates behind him all raised their heads and rushed to look at the sign.
Aldridge said solemnly: "Yes, this is Anfield! Great stadium, the legacy left by the great Bill Shankly to the Red Army Liverpool. Here, Liverpool left four European Champions Cup trophies. They maintain
The most titles in England's top flight, well, Henrik, what will it take to take away the taste of victory from here?"
Larson chuckled and said loudly: "It's wonderful!"
The whole Millwall team burst into laughter.
"It was amazing, it was amazing, so ninety minutes later we went home with this amazing feeling. This is Anfield, I love it here, thank you Liverpool for setting the stage, Millwall, tell me
, what should we do at this time?”
"Go! Go! Go! Millwall!"
The whole team shouted in unison, which was a slogan they had long been accustomed to during training.
Aldridge turned and walked down the stairs. When passing by the stunned Liverpool players, he patted Jamie Redknapp on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Jamie, do a good job today. If you see
Go to your father and tell him, look at today's game, Millwall will play like this when they play West Ham United, tell him to shut up, Frank and Leo have forgotten West Ham United."
Jamie Redknapp was stunned and didn't know what to say at all.
His father is the current coach of West Ham United: Harry Redknapp. The outside world likes to call him Old Redknapp to distinguish Jamie from the younger Redknapp.
When the Liverpool players saw the high-spirited Millwall players, they couldn't help but think of another team from London: Wimbledon.
It was a bunch of thugs, and Millwall, rumor has it, was a bunch of hooligans.
