Chapter 272: "Injured"


Some people see it as usual, and some people know that they don’t match their own characters at first sight. During the conversation with Carter, Aldrich quickly fell in love with the guy on the opposite side.
Because the two talked straightforwardly, neither of them was the kind of old-fashioned and feminine character who was so clever.
"No, no, it's impossible, a six-year contract? I'm not willing to do it for four years, unless you give me £5 million in sponsorship every year."
"The sponsorship fee of 2.3 million pounds per year is already a very high price."
"Yes, the sponsorship fee of £300,000 six years ago was also sky-high, but now?"
"Do you think the commercial value of football clubs will increase?"
"Of course! Broadcasting technology is becoming more and more developed. For football clubs, this is just the beginning. Don't see the Premier League broadcast contract has more than doubled this year, and the next contract will double. Your future for Millwall Have confidence, but you have overlooked the prospects of this market."
Although Aldridge also felt that Carter was a friend worth making in a short time, at least he was very comfortable in chatting and communicating, but he would not sell the club's future benefits cheaply.
Carter’s sponsorship fee looks super high this year, and he also proposed that both parties sign a long contract for six years!
In this way, from a conservative point of view, Millwall's long-term interests are guaranteed, but if there is a situation, Millwall's interests will obviously suffer.
This situation is: Millwall enters the Champions League every year, in other words, to maintain the position of the first Premier League group in the next six years.
Aldrich will not be greedy for the long-term and ignore the long-term. This kind of loss is the worst in history.
When moving into the new stadium, Arsenal signed an eight-year chest advertising sponsorship contract. At that time, the £5.5 million sponsorship contract was in line with Arsenal’s value and economic environment. Coupled with the collapse of the football bubble, people thought that the market Already saturated.
However, in the past eight years, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, won the chest advertising sponsorship contract has soared, about 20 million less, more than 30 million.
Arsenal's first year of signing such a contract feels like it is not profitable, but the more time goes by, the more ridiculous it is. The cumulative addition before and after is reduced by about 100 million pounds compared to other teams at the same level.
Although Aldrich would not lose so much if he signed a six-year contract in this era, he is such a person. When he manages the club carefully and changes from the head coach to the boss role, he is a bit stingy. Jiner.
At this point, he also reminded Adam that the club's sponsorship contract, with a deadline of moving into the new stadium, should not exceed three seasons at most.
When they move into the new stadium, all sponsorship fees will have to be renegotiated on the new price tag.
Carter insisted for a while and found that Aldridge could not be persuaded or defeated by temptation. He had to admit that Aldridge also possessed extraordinary vision.
Specific contract details, when Carter returns to London, he will negotiate with Adam again, Aldridge does not give a commitment, in case there are other competitors to open a higher price, Millwall certainly chooses the option with more income .
There was not a short time before the plane landed. The two left their jobs and started chatting like friends. What surprised Audridge was that as the British, the other party was actually a Maradona fan. It's just the appearance of the British, so he never felt emotionally hurt by Maradona.
Speaking of Maradona, the two were very sighed.
Because just in the past two days, Maradona is the focus of football in the entire world.
The Argentine football king officially bid farewell to Luyinchang and announced his retirement from the players.
Aldridge really felt like making a good friend today.
At least he is a rational fan like Carter.
Worship Maradona, just worship Maradona on the court, as for Maradona outside the stadium, the two talked about a smile and shook his head.
It is estimated that the world football can no longer find such a great combination of angels and demons.
When the plane landed in Barcelona, ​​Aldridge and Carter were separated. Before leaving, Carter wished Millwall good luck at the Camp Nou.
Aldrich looked up outside the airport to see the clear skies of Spain in the cold autumn. Is it good luck? Who can pin hope on luck?
After coming to Barcelona, ​​Millwall completely entered a low-key, staying in a hotel farther away from Camp Nou, closed training, in addition to attending the pre-match press conference arranged by UEFA, Aldridge refused all interviews.
This focus war has been chased by the media of various countries.
Van Gaal's bold words have been released.
Aldridge never said a word.
At the press conference, when Aldridge attended, the lights flashed. Everyone wanted to take a picture of Aldridge's first visit to Nou Camp.
What gesture will he come here?
How would he fight back Van Gaal's contempt?
When Aldridge sat down, he seemed very calm, and the opening remarks were the same in Spanish and English.
"I will only answer questions about today's game, not questions about the game, I will treat it with silence."
The reporters were depressed.
We just came to see you fighting van Gaal!
Last season, Aldridge was particularly stalemate with the Spanish media, especially the Catalan media.
The cause was the debate about the Golden Globe Awards, and later it was because of the European winner Cup Millwall's victory that such contradictions were fermented.
It’s just that the outside world is ridiculous. The Catalan media is in conflict with Audric because of whether Ronaldo deserves the Golden Globe. But Ronaldo flew only after staying at the Camp Nou Meazza.
The source of the contradiction is gone, but the contradiction has continued.
Now, they are on Van Gaal's side, belittling and attacking Millwall and Aldridge.
When the reporters asked about Van Gaal's comments on Aldridge, Aldridge said nothing.
As he said, he did not answer any questions that had nothing to do with the game.
Until someone asked: "Barcelona's first two games were tied and lost, are they hopeless in qualifying?"
Aldrich only calmly said: "Of course they have hope, defeating Millwall in two rounds, and then Dynamo Kiev and Eindhoven have no team to win two consecutive games in the two contests at the same time, then, Barcelona will take control of their own destiny, and they will have the first chance with two rounds left."
Catalan reporters curled their mouths, feeling that the young man finally spoke a human word.
Well, it sounds right.
Barcelona is only one step away from falling into the abyss.
In the last four games they won, they had 13 points, and they will definitely make the top spot.
This is also thanks to Millwall sniping Dynamo Kyiv away from the road to minimize the negative factors of Barcelona's loss of points and the situation in the same group has become extremely delicate.
"Listening to your tone, it seems pessimistic about the two games against Barcelona? Don't you have the confidence to score in Barcelona?"
Aldridge sighed and turned to the press officer: "Can I leave? I don't want to waste time with some idiot here."
He said this, and immediately angered the person who just asked the question, that is the reporter of the "World Sports News".
"Mr. Hall, are you humiliating me in public?"
Aldridge ignored the man and just looked at the press officer. The other party looked at the time and shook his head, indicating that the prescribed time had not yet arrived.
Aldridge had no choice but to turn around and say: "I don't know how the public views Barcelona's game against Millwall, but I think some people think Millwall should give 6 points directly to Barcelona, ​​and Millwall is convinced Accept the failure and kneel in front of Barcelona to flatter and flatter her. Sorry, the reality is cruel. Barcelona is a giant of Catalonia, a flag here, not only for football but also for Catalonia Spirit and fighting spirit, but this does not make Barcelona special in the arena, it must be able to overwhelm all opponents, it can become arrogant and rude, it can lack the most basic respect for foreign teams, and it’s nothing to be arrogant. But a group of people are arrogant, I think this kind of psychology is morbid."
Everyone except the Catalan reporters at the scene laughed.
Haha, just a few minutes after I lost it, I was expecting it.
"Who is that arrogant person in your mouth? Was it insinuating Van Gaal? Mr. Hall, when you first appeared in public, did you seem very arrogant? Declaring Millwall will enter a new era, huh, huh, But in Europe, you are nothing."
Journalists in Catalonia are mad.
I don’t know why, they just don’t like it.
At a young age, he dared to bombard the Golden Globes, questioning Ronaldo's list and stealing the trophy from Barcelona.
Today, he came here as a guest. He seemed to be in a low profile, but actually gave people the feeling of ignoring them with silence.
No matter what questions the reporters asked, Aldridge did not answer. Some reporters directly left the seat angrily. Aldridge looked at the press officer from time to time. After the other party indicated that he could leave, Aldridge got up and left.
It’s only the Catalan media who doesn’t like him, and everyone else likes him because he has news, or where the 21-year-old head coach is, it’s news itself.
On the night of the game, the players stared at Aldridge in the locker room.
The atmosphere in the dressing room is very weird today.
Aldridge can't stand it.
Half of the players stared at Aldridge with a high-spirited look, and half of the players stared at him with a comforting look.
They all know the news.
Some players are also angry.
They have struggled hard, and the championship achievements that they fight back with one shot at a time are trampled upon by others. Who can turn a blind eye?
It's normal to have fire in mind, but some mentally mature players are more calm, but more worried about Aldridge's situation.
From the start of preparing for this game to 25 minutes before the game, Aldridge was too calm.
It's kind of like being bullied and not reasoning but hiding your grievances in your heart.
Think about it too. It is clearly a young handsome who has been recorded in history, but it is easily denied by others. It is normal to be hurt in the heart.
Aldridge just felt unwise to fight back.
The game was not played, and the pre-match battle was divided into situations. As is the case now, Aldridge believes that there is no need to ignore each other.
Unexpectedly, he did not fight back, but was misunderstood as "injured" by the players. When he was preparing to give the players pre-match training, there was a scene in the locker room that made Aldridge feel dreaming.
