Bert winked secretly at his brother Earl, as if the two of them were acting in a tacit understanding: brothers who work together can be as powerful as gold.
There is not even the slightest hint that this is a lie.
Aldrich took a deep breath, forced out a smile and said: "Okay, let's talk about the German player. Bierhoff, have you heard of him?"
Bert immediately replied: "I've heard that the German forwards are very powerful."
"Well, just listen. Let me tell you, just two years ago, in 2002, Bierhoff received his university diploma!"
"Wow!"
Bert let out an exclamation.
Earl was also shocked at first, and then turned to ask Bert: "Is the person dad mentioned, the German player who retired last year?"
Bert nodded solemnly.
Earl turned to Aldrich again and asked: "Dad, how old is this Bierhoff?"
"Hey, you asked the right person. When your dad and I studied our opponents, I paid more attention to the age of the opponent's players. When we played against AC Milan before, Bierhoff was a player of AC Milan. Let me think about it, he
, he should be over 35 years old.”
After Aldrich finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He looked at Earl guiltily. This son, who was not cute at all, was actually pretending to be enlightened. He asked: "Dad, a man over 35 years old this year."
He graduated from college 2 years ago, when did he enter college?"
Aldrich scratched his head and refused to speak.
Under Earl's continuous questioning, Aldrich said word by word: "1988."
Earl was stunned, thinking he had guessed wrong.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that I didn't do math well.
Almost 2002 minus 1988 equals 4...
"Dad, going to college is so tiring. Will it take you 14 years to graduate?"
Bierhoff may not be considered an academic master. Anyone who takes 14 years and almost 30 semesters to graduate can probably only be classified as a scumbag.
Aldrich saw his two sons snickering, and suddenly became angry and blurted out: "You must know Arsenal's main goalkeeper, right? Lehmann! He started studying economics in 1992. Listen to what he said
What did he say in his interview with Fleet Street? 'Some goalkeepers have too little education. A good goalkeeper has to understand the game.
Stay focused for 90 minutes, sometimes for 120 or even 150 minutes. The best way to do this is to focus on your studies in school. If you drop out of school at 16, there's nothing you can do about it.
Really devote yourself to the game. Listen, listen, this is simply the truth!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
This time, even Bert didn't think what Aldrich said made sense.
The two naughty kids laughed loudly, which made Aldrich very embarrassed. Earl saw Aldrich's face change, and he was afraid that his father would go crazy, so he quickly said: "Dad, Lyman is very good, but... you will think that he is the best
A goalkeeper? Isn’t it? There are many better goalkeepers than Lehmann. Could it be that all those goalkeepers studied like Lehmann?”
Aldrich was furious and began to use some untenable reasons to persuade his two sons.
"Thuram, you must know, but you don't know that he is like a literary scholar outside of playing football. He can stay in the library all day studying literature. He..."
"Dad, I'm tired from playing football. When I take a break, I can read a book, but I don't necessarily have to go to school."
Bert's words made Aldrich completely speechless.
Aldridge was stuck in a mental dilemma, not knowing how to convince his son that playing football and studying were perfectly compatible. Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he didn't want his son to choose a future in athletics before he was mentally mature.
The success rate in sports is very low and the risks are extremely high.
Seeing that Aldrich was speechless, Bert spoke, his young face full of determination.
"Dad, I think playing football is my dream. I also have the confidence to keep working hard and never give up! I must become a star!"
Aldrich watched Burt fall into a trance.
Ideal? Dream?
For more than 99% of people, dreams are reality. Money, beautiful women, career and love are the realization of ideals. As for the idea of governing a country and bringing peace to the world, that is unattainable nonsense.
However, in the ideal descriptions that most people proclaim, ideals should often be divorced from reality and far away from reality, otherwise they will become vulgar and unbearable.
Just like many world-famous football stars, they can naturally say that playing football is their dream, but thinking about it on the other hand, when they lived in the slums, they did not even have the opportunity to receive education. They either became street ghosts or played football to make a name for themselves.
The future, to put it bluntly, is about making money, but the more money you make, the more famous you become, and you become a person that attracts much attention, so you can idealize this inspirational history of struggle.
But when it comes to those idealistic players who are divorced from reality and pursue their dreams completely freely, there are indeed such idealistic players in contemporary European football, and they are presented to the public as a very aesthetic and romantic image.
Pirlo is the only contemporary man who has won five Champions Leagues and completed four consecutive Champions League titles!
Pirlo is the son of the Steel King. He does not play football for money and material things. He even had a disagreement with his family at first and insisted on pursuing his dream. For him, football is the simplest dream.
He succeeded. The world learned about Pirlo's family background and looked at him differently. Just like in China in the future, Chinese football commentators will say that Pirlo is a role model for all the rich second generations in China.
Counting forward, there is also Vialli, the son of an Italian conglomerate. You can't imagine that he grew up in a medieval castle. There are more than 60 rooms in his home, and he himself has never entered them all. And Bierhoff
He is the heir to a German energy company. He studied economics and got his diploma, not to enhance his image, but to be very practical in running the business in the future. No, the company is now managed by his younger brother, and there is also Pierre on the company website.
Photos of Hough playing football...
As for people who are not yet famous in the future or are not yet famous, Cesc Fabregas, who came to London last autumn, dared to venture into England alone at a young age. Why? I really think Wenger can poach him with his sharp tongue.
He? In the final analysis, Cesc Fabregas’ family background is still a certain factor. He is rich, not afraid of failure, and can afford to lose.
Why did he later take such a rare action as the "back transfer method"? It was because he had money and didn't care about money. He was roughly the same as his contemporary Pique. As a rich second generation, he had his own way out, unlike the kickers who came out of the slums.
As a young football player, if you make one wrong move, your life's destiny may turn upside down, so you will naturally be cautious.
Aldrich pondered for a long time. His situation was quite special.
Because in the final analysis, he does not own a huge personal property. He is just a speculator in the investment market. All he has is money. To put it further, if his son wants to inherit his family property, he will almost be left with nothing.
.
First of all, Millwall Football Club cannot be regarded as a profit-making organization.
In addition, Aldrich's financial market investments, more than ten years later, faced the same risks as everyone else in the world.
Therefore, he hoped that his two sons could study more, study hard, and become a little capable. In the future, they could use the money to start a business again, or help the eldest brother or the second brother.
Thinking of this, Aldrich suddenly felt a little sad.
Both the eldest brother and the second brother have laid a career foundation that can continue as long as there are no drastic changes. On the contrary, he himself, apart from having money, seems to have no idea how to make "money make money" in 20 years.
But in the final analysis, as long as it is not squandered by oneself or squandered by future generations, the current family property will be enough to provide enough food and clothing for generations of descendants.
No matter how far it is, Aldrich can't think of that much.
"Dad, you didn't go to school. Bert set his goals earlier than you. Isn't that good?"
Earl's words gave Aldrich a slap in the face.
Suddenly, he felt a little heroic in his heart when he looked at Bert. They said that youth is not the only factor in ambition. Bert was able to make a decision at a young age and has persisted for a year.
Why can't you believe him? Support him?
Aldridge smiled at Bert and said: "Okay, starting from the summer, you will study at the football school in Millwall. This is the bottom line."
Football schools are definitely different from regular schools. The former has the word "football" in it and must focus on football training.
Bert nodded firmly and smiled.
Earl cheered, but saw Aldrich turn his gaze to him and said solemnly: "As for you, you must go to the school I selected for you."
Earl suddenly became anxious and shouted: "This is not fair! Dad, you don't go to school!"
"I graduated from elementary school."
"Grandpa showed me your elementary school report card, and there were a lot of failing grades! Grandpa said you were naughty and mischievous every day in school, and you weren't there to study at all!"
"Ahem, your situation is different from your brother's. He concentrates on playing football and strives to become a professional athlete in the future. I believe in him. What about you? If you don't go to school, what will you do?"
"I play football too!"
"Forget it, you play football for a few days, shoot commercials for a few days, and then you go to play here and there, and you hide at home and play computer games. You have to go to school, there is no negotiation."
Earl puffed out his cheeks and wanted to refute but was speechless. His hot personality in these three minutes, and over the past year, was something Aldrich had figured out.
"Okay, it's settled!"
Aldrich made the decision, and the two sons were happy and sad. Bert was satisfied, while Earl was frustrated. On the way upstairs, he complained to Bert: "You won't help me either!"
Bert said to him: "How about you keep playing football with me? You will definitely become a big star in the future."
Earl patted his forehead and sighed: "Kill me, training day after day is boring to death."
