After many years of hard work in European football, Aldridge dare not say that he has a lot of friends all over the world, but it is true that he has many friends.=
After Drogba and Essien were listed at the same time, the Premier League team's purchase was directly rejected by Aldridge, who wanted to sell the two to foreign leagues.
The head coach of the French club Paris Saint-Germain personally flew to London during the winter break and came to see Aldridge. He and Aldridge are also old acquaintances, Fernandez, who joined Paris Saint-Germain for the second time.
Aldridge warmly entertained his old friend, and the other party directly reported Paris Saint-Germain's final offer without playing casually with Aldridge.
£20 million package for two people.
Drogba's current worth may not even be worth 10 million pounds in the eyes of the outside world, and Essien may not even be worth 5 million pounds.
They are valuable and will be valuable in the future.
But without giving them a stage to display their talents and shine so brightly, how could they possibly sell it for a sky-high price?
Aldridge did not bargain with Fernandez and directly agreed to the requirement of 20 million pounds to package the two people. He only added an additional contract clause: 30% of the next sale of the player, plus Paris Saint-Germain's promise that if the two were sold, they would never sell them.
They were sold to a Premier League club, and if PSG breached this agreement, 50% of the sale share would go to Millwall.
The current consortium behind Paris Saint-Germain is Canal+. They invested a lot in the first few years after entering the Parc des Princes. Later, they were unable to make ends meet and suffered losses year after year. In order to make up for the financial deficit last season, they sold many of the team's generals in the summer. As a result, the new season is a clever woman.
Fernandez, who was unable to make a living without rice, was helpless.
Le Saint-Germain and Manchester United were struggling in the game. In order to save the defeat during the winter break, Fernandez took 20 million pounds and made a last-ditch effort. Because of this, Aldridge did not argue with the opponent on the transfer fee. It was meaningless.
Club. No one will bid higher than Paris Saint-Germain in the winter.
Millwall officially announced the transfer departure of two players, and the club firmly maintained Klinsmann's authority through this sale.
Since January, the Millwall locker room has become calm, but this calmness is a little strange, and it seems that it is about to become a pool of stagnant water.
...
Three months passed in a flash.
Aldridge led the England team to visit Liechtenstein at the end of March. The European war was in full swing, and the league championship was in the final sprint. In this tough game, Aldridge sent many young faces. The score was still 5:0.
A bloodbath against Liechtenstein in the away game.
Returning to London four days later, the England team, with its full strength, defeated the visiting Turkey. The score of 3:1 was not perfect, but it marked that Aldrich had achieved some success in building a new national team. The team's offensive and defensive system on the field
The operation becomes smoother and smoother.
After the game and before the national team disbanded, Beckham found Aldridge alone.
This time the battle was at St. James' Park, and Aldridge and Beckham were meeting in the Newcastle United club's reception room.
At the end of the game, the England team was actually in a semi-disbanded state. Afterwards, players interviewed, cleaned their jerseys in the locker room, took a shower, said goodbye to their teammates, and then went their separate ways to return to the club.
Beckham obviously didn't take a shower, but just changed into a clean short-sleeved top and a T-shirt with the England national team logo.
He sat quietly in the conference room, his sneakers were full of mud, and his socks were black, which were the marks left by hard work on the court. His hair was messy, and he sat there in a daze, looking confused and depressed.
Even if he just gave it away in the game
He made two assists and enjoyed the applause of the English fans, but his mind has now flown to another world. If you want to find traces of that world on his face, it is a patch on his eyebrow bone that is no longer obvious.
Scars can provide clues.
Aldridge was interviewed after the game and was told by Jensen that Beckham wanted to talk to him alone.
Arriving in the conference room, Aldrich found that Beckham was still in a trance. He walked over, reached out and gently pressed on Beckham's shoulder, and asked with concern: "David, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
He originally thought that Beckham might have come to meet with him alone because of a physical emergency. After all, Beckham is the most famous star in England. If he makes a mistake, it is no exaggeration to say that it will affect the nerves of the entire England.
Xiao Bei came back to his senses, forced a smile and shook his head, saying, "I just have some personal matters that I want to hear your opinion on."
His status obviously meant "there is a situation." Aldrich was confused, but he still pulled up a chair next to Beckham and sat down, saying: "Okay, if you have anything you want to talk about, I will listen. Just tell me.
What kind of confusion did you encounter?"
Having worked together in the national team over the years, Aldrich and Beckham have a good relationship. Naturally, their personal relationship is not as good as close friends, but at least they are closer than friends.
Beckham pointed to his brow bone and said solemnly: "I don't think I can stay at Manchester United anymore."
Aldrich, who was listening to Ben's voice as a close friend, suddenly felt dizzy.
Almost two months ago, the "flying boot scandal" broke out in the Manchester United locker room. Ferguson and Beckham, who had a close relationship with each other as father and son, officially broke up!
Everyone has a hard time learning. Aldridge used to think that he was very capable and could manage the locker room in an orderly manner. In fact, in the past six months, he had not intervened in the management of the Millwall locker room as chairman, and he suddenly realized:
It’s not that you are more capable, but that you have too much power!
Because he has great power, he can do whatever he wants, reward whoever he wants, and tell him to get out if he doesn't like it.
As for those head coaches, there are too many factors to worry about, such as balancing relationships, record pressure, merit-based selection, etc. These are all beyond Aldridge's "taken for granted" understanding.
Aldridge said solemnly: "David, I'm also the head coach. From my standpoint, if I don't have any expectations for a player, I don't have any requirements for him. I won't talk to him. It won't be wasted.
Take the time to communicate with him and not get angry with him.
How does Alex treat you? You know in your heart that he is not perfect. No one can be perfect, but what he wants from you is perfection. In the purely competitive field, I hope that you, David Beckham, will be perfect.
! It can not only become the banner of Manchester United, but also become the
Manchester United is a role model admired by the current generation, the next generation, and countless generations of players in the future. Manchester United once had a genius who died young, Duncan Edwards. Alex just hopes that it will flow through you, Ryan, Paul, Gary, etc.
Players with Manchester United blood can become
For the modern version of Edwards. Don’t have the regrets of Edwards, no. For Edwards, the genius who was still thinking about the game before he died, it is a pity for him. If you waste your talent, it is not a pity. In
In the eyes of the head coach, it is a sin."
Beckham bent down, held his head with both hands, and said in a low voice: "I feel like I am going crazy. In the past four years, I have been torn between family and career. My whole person is about to split. Coach, you said you are in charge."
The coach’s position, but what if you were in my position? Not talking about those verbal disputes about who is right and who is wrong, he was hurt
It hurt me. If I hadn't been lucky, the spikes might have pierced my eyes! But at the press conference, he downplayed the matter in a joking tone, without even apologizing to me.
It is regarded as a war, a war against the head coach’s authority, but I just want to be respected and get an apology..."
Aldrich put his hand on Xiaobei's shoulder and watched Xiaobei grasping his head with both hands and fingers, feeling both pain and struggle.
Suddenly, Aldrich realized that this heartthrob might not live as elegantly as in the spotlight.
For four years, since he married Victoria in the summer of 1999, part of the main theme of his life has been the history of the struggle between football career and celebrity career, and between his wife and his mentor.
From being forcibly recalled to the club by Ferguson during their honeymoon trip in the summer of 1999, interrupting the sweetness of the newlyweds, to being angrily punished by Ferguson for business activities, missing training because of taking care of the sick Brooklyn, and still being yelled at by Ferguson... until
In February this year, when he returned home, Victoria saw his wounds and called Ferguson directly and said: "Come out and the two of us will solve the problem!"
The old Scottish man and the hot girl did not come out to solve the problem, but the two people, who love each other as father and son, have reached a turning point in their relationship where they become strangers.
It is difficult for an upright official to settle family matters. If Aldrich got involved in such a thing, he wouldn't know what to do if he were Ferguson. However, he thought about it and thought that maybe when he was still the club's coach, the matter would not develop to such a degree.
At this point, because he has no room for disgrace in his eyes, he cuts through the mess quickly and prevents the subsequent development of such incidents early on.
"David, you have your thoughts and feelings. You are the person involved. I can't fully understand you. I can only say objectively that Alex's demands on you are not excessive."
Xiao Bei raised his head and asked in disbelief: "Not too much?"
"Would Alex ask Sharp to become a world star? No, he cleaned up Sharp. But why has he been asking you to do this and asking you to do that? Have you ever thought about why? Of course, you can say that he is controlling,
But in my opinion, his requirements are not excessive, because what he requires is that if you work hard wholeheartedly, put all your energy into football, do not participate in commercial performances, and be like others,
If you have an ordinary family and put all your thoughts on football, how high will your achievements be? What height can you reach? And that kind of peak is where Alex keeps whipping you, and finally makes you
You feel that you have been humiliated and disrespected, and Alex may be angrier and more unreasonable than you, because in his eyes, you have failed to live up to all his expectations for you!"
Beckham stared at Aldrich with wide eyes, and didn't say a word for a long time.
Although Ferguson was rated as having a bad temper by the outside world, wasn't the hairdryer in the locker room the epitome of that?
But what can be accomplished if a coach is simply grumpy?
If Ferguson was targeting Beckham from the beginning to the end, how could Beckham become the Red Devils' legendary No. 7?
Think about Beckham who became the public enemy of the whole UK. Who stood up to defend him?
I loved and protected him back then because he was immature and young and needed protection.
Now we are criticizing him harshly and demanding him because he should have been on his own and should have shouldered greater responsibilities within the Manchester United team. A big reason for his current anger is that he hates that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
Of course, Beckham's achievements are already very high, but he should be even higher. Just like if the Chinese team enters the top 16 of the World Cup, that's fine. Don't ask for more, but if the Brazilian team enters the top 16, Can the top 8 and top 4 stop without being criticized?
Beckham should be able to understand this, but as he said himself, he feels that he is being torn apart. On one side is his mentor, on the other side is his wife, on the other side is football, and on the other side is fame and fortune. Especially football and fame and fortune, sometimes they complement each other. , and sometimes, they are extremely opposite.
