Everyone's definition of splendor in the green world is different.
Beckham looked up at the ceiling with his eyes blankly. In the world of football, he has reached troughs. His red card in 1998 almost ruined his entire life. He has also climbed to the pinnacle of incomparable glory, including the league championship and the Champions League championship.
,World Cup Champion!
For him, a superstar who does not entirely belong to the football world, it is precisely because the factors that make him successful are too complex, rather than just the word football, there are too many external forces tearing him apart, affecting him, making him fundamentally
It is impossible to fully attribute oneself to any one point.
Can he give up football?
Impossible, without football, he is nothing!
But can he fully commit to football?
Yes, that way his football achievements will be more brilliant, but in contrast, his personal fame and fortune will be greatly reduced.
Can you imagine the popularity of a Beckham who does not appear in commercial activities and has almost no exposure outside of football like Scholes?
At least it's definitely not the dazzling Beckham now.
Aldrich stared at Beckham with empty eyes and suddenly understood.
Xiaobei is not here to ask for his opinions or opinions.
Aldridge has a fairly good relationship with him, but he is neither his agent's staff nor the closest person to him. He is just one of his career bosses who can give reasonable advice in the professional field.
But when it comes to such a major decision that affects his career, why should Aldridge influence Beckham?
Aldrich suddenly understood.
Beckham's conversation with him today may just be an emotional ladder, hoping that Aldrich will say something that will make him make up his mind.
After all, based on Aldridge's position, he certainly hopes that Beckham will leave Manchester United. In that case, the strength of Millwall's competitors in the league will be greatly reduced, and even Manchester United's overall commercial value will also decline.
Aldrich was quite a villain and laughed at himself.
If it was really what he thought, he suddenly felt that this conversation was extremely ridiculous. He and Beckham were frank and honest, and devoted themselves to educating and persuading each other. It was indeed sincere, and he could put aside the club's position and consider his personal football career.
But Xiaobei doesn't seem to have such a purpose.
However, Aldrich was still wrong.
Beckham does hope to get some support from Aldridge, but the reason is not the competitive relationship between Millwall and Manchester United.
"Coach, you said that I play football wholeheartedly and put all my energy into football. I will become a great monument for the Red Devils. However, I want to ask you a question. I am about to be 28 years old, which is the age at the peak of football players. But I
I plan to think more about my family and pay more attention to my family
request. And you? If I remember correctly, in May, I was 28 years old and you were 27 years old. Why didn’t you stay at Millwall as the head coach? If you stayed at Millwall, wouldn’t you be more
Brilliant? But why did you make the decision to leave last summer?"
After Beckham finished speaking in a calm tone, Aldridge looked blank.
yes.
Anyone can tell you the fucking truth!
But when it comes to yourself, why are the standards always different?
Others hope, others expect, others demand...
Others always have a lot of truth to apply to you!
Aldrich suddenly realized that he and Beckham were in very similar situations.
And he has already taken a step forward. On the other hand, how can he persuade Xiaobei in an old-fashioned way?
Hahaha...
Aldrich lowered his head and suddenly laughed. Beckham, who was looking up at the ceiling, regained his composure and he also laughed.
Beckham's eyes moved downward, and Aldrich's eyes rose. The two looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"David, just think of what I said just now as nonsense. I don't know what your specific situation is, but since you have to take into account your family's demands, and your future plans are definitely not just about football,
Because football is not everything to you, it is just a part of you as Beckham, so there is nothing to worry about. Just do whatever you want to do. Have you considered your next stop?"
Beckham put away his smile and said solemnly: "After considering it, the most suitable next stop for me in today's football world should be the Bernabeu."
Aldridge raised the corner of his mouth slightly and teased: "Why not Millwall?"
Beckham laughed and said: "Not to mention how much popularity I will suffer if I join a local team in England, even if Millwall is not an English team, can Millwall tolerate my existence? Millwall can tolerate my existence?
Do you allow commercial superstars to be in the team? Coach, everyone around the world knows that there is only one superstar in Millwall, and that is you, because no matter how famous others are, they cannot match your influence."
Aldridge was noncommittal about this and sighed: "Indeed, according to the development of commercial value, it is most suitable for you to go to the Bernabeu, but I still have to say that there is no room for your competitive survival in the Bernabeu. Going there will represent you."
It is impossible to return to the peak of pure competition."
Beckham nodded. He had experienced hundreds of battles and read thousands of stories. How could he not understand whether a team was suitable for him?
And what he calls "the most suitable" is a combination of all factors, not just football competition.
Aldridge continued: "Your diligence is unquestionable. I am a monk ringing the clock for a day. If you go to the Bernabeu this summer, just remember one thing. We will play in the European Cup next summer. You must prepare for next summer."
Be prepared."
"Please rest assured about this!"
Xiaobei solemnly agreed.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted about some family-friendly topics. Both men have children, and they also exchanged their parenting experiences.
"I don't know, the two brothers feel very different. Bert doesn't like to talk very much, and sometimes I think he has autism. But since I bought the villa next door and transformed a large garden into a small stadium for him to play football,
He became much more lively. The tutor he hired urged him to study every day.
I don't listen at all, I just like to play football with the children in the small court. Earl is much better, very studious, and interested in all kinds of knowledge, but he is always hot for three minutes. Yesterday he said he wanted to learn French, and the day after tomorrow
Just say that I want to learn German, learn a few sentences and then show off in front of the children..."
"Children are like this. They are interested in all these things, and then ignore them after the excitement has passed. Haha, but Brooklyn still likes to play with Bert."
The two stars of English football chattered like garrulous housewives as they left St James' Park.
..
When Aldrich returned home, he found Yiwen cooking in the kitchen. He took off his suit and walked over to chat with her for a few words. Then he went upstairs to see his little daughter Bonnie. The little princess was snoozing quietly.
The sleeping appearance is extremely innocent.
After quietly leaving the bedroom, Aldrich did not see Bert and Earl in the house, so he walked towards the back garden.
At this time, in the small stadium renovated behind the house, Bert was sitting cross-legged on the turf. He was dirty and had just played football with his friends. He looked quite depressed at this time.
Earl was wearing casual children's clothes and holding a lollipop in his hand. He looked down at his brother with a commanding aura and said, "Do you know why that guy named Jason is so strong?"
Bert raised his head and asked impatiently: "Why?"
Jason is two years older than Burt, but there is not much difference in stature between the two. In the past two days of playing football, Burt and Jason went head-to-head and lost repeatedly, which made him very angry.
Earl sucked his saliva, licked the lollipop again, and said disdainfully: "Actually, it's just that, before you catch the ball, you stare at the ball, so when you catch the ball, Jason steps down to grab you,
You panic. But what about Jason? He is observing when he catches the ball, and he has thought about the ball when he catches the ball.
How to deal with it? His catching and passing are one action. You can't grab it. Even if you grab it, he won't pass the ball, but he is also prepared and will pass you when he changes direction. So, if you lose, you can't pass him. He
He can pass you, but if you can't pass the ball well, he will be criticized by his teammates, but he will be regarded as a big brother by his teammates."
Bert thought about it carefully and it seemed like this was the case.
He raised his head again and asked: "Why don't you play with us these two days? With you here, I will definitely win, just like before, I defended from behind and you scored from the front."
Earl spit out the lollipop in his mouth, shook it in front of Bert, and said with a proud smile: "I went to shoot a commercial with my mother, and the candy company gave me a lot of lollipops, and I'm keeping your share.
"
"Bah, look at your teeth, be careful they fall out!"
"Ha, you can't fool me. Hehe, I have read the book. At this age, it is normal for teeth to fall out. It will not kill anyone, and it will not always be so ugly."
Having said this, Earl was even more proud. When it came time to change his teeth, he was initially panicked and thought he was going to die, but now he has no worries at all.
Just as he was feeling proud, Earl suddenly felt the sound of rapid footsteps behind him. Before he could turn around, someone was picking him up from behind.
"Hahaha, you caught a glutton and you still want to eat candy? No! You can only eat one lollipop a week from now on."
Aldrich lifted Earl up, but Earl kicked his legs and shouted: "Put me down, put me down, Dad, I'm not a child anymore, I've grown up."
Sure enough, Aldrich put him down, then gestured with his height with his hand, and said with a smile: "Well, does this mean he has grown up? He is much different from an adult."
Earl adjusted his clothes like a little adult and said seriously: "Mom said I am the most sensible child, more sensible than other children. She always says you have grown up."
"Ha ha."
Aldrich sat down cross-legged in front of Burt. Father and son sat face to face. Aldrich touched Burt's head and saw his frustration at a glance. After asking, Burt roughly recounted the conversation he had just had with Earl.
once.
Aldrich made a comment and agreed with Earl's statement, which made Earl puff out his chest proudly.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the simplest habit of playing football. Do you only have eyes for the ball, or can you observe more.
"Dad, I want to go to Leo training base for training."
Bert said to Aldrich solemnly.
"Dad, I want to go to Old Trafford to watch the game. As long as the Lions defeat the Red Devils, they will definitely be able to successfully defend the league title!"
Earl also made a plea to Aldrich.
Faced with the request of his two sons, Aldrich chose to agree.
