Chapter 512: Metabolism


The blue sea and silver sand, the waves raging.
On an isolated island beach in eastern Australia, Aldridge, who was only wearing a pair of pants, was lying half-lying, gently touching the smooth jade back of a tempting black bikini beauty beside him with one hand.
There are only two people on this island, him, and Yiwen around him.
Looking at the sunset that seemed to sink into the sea, the beautiful scene made Aldridge forget the passage of time.
It has been half a month since the 2000 Champions League final. After winning the championship, he was put on the altar and regarded as a by England, but all topics related to him will become popular, magazines, tabloids, as long as his photos are published It will be a big sale, and there will be a lot of invitations for interviews, and even Time Magazine will include him as a cover character.
The 24-year-old legendary young master, he spent six years to complete a great cause that no one else can do in his life.
But after the final, he hurriedly accepted the interview and said lightly: Now, I just want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the tranquility.
He needs to rest, he needs to stop and enjoy life, and he needs to find a balance between career and life.
The young master left the carnival team, let them become the protagonist, let them enjoy the headlines of the news, and enjoy the glory of their career.
And he took the hand of Yi Wen that night and walked the Champs Elysées, feeling the beautiful scenery of the romantic capital of France.
That night, he and Yiwen enjoyed the most original passion of male and female love in the hotel suite.
What surprised him was that the 23-year-old Yiwen was an old virgin, and she was not ashamed at all. She said proudly: The purity of retention is waiting for you to ask for it.
This is more stimulating to Aldridge than any love story.
Day after day, year after year, Aldrich knew what he wanted, and Yiwen could give him all, which was enough.
This small island belongs to him and has been his private property for at least 60 years.
Almost half a year ago, he commissioned Andrew to buy it on a small island officially sold in Australia.
The island itself is not expensive, and the cost of a mansion attached to the sale of Australia on the island is cheaper than buying a manor in London.
However, the construction and long-term cost of the island is a huge expense. You have to solve the problems of water supply and power supply, the network, the dock or the airport, the island’s roads, the island’s food and beverages. This is the focus of consumption.
Aldrich enjoys such a process, creating a paradise for himself. In the past six months, the island has completed the foundation construction, there is a small airport, and a garden has been built.
"Um... how long have I slept?"
Yi Wen straightened up lazily, rubbed his sleepy eyes, kissed gently on Aldridge's face, and naturally showed a faint smile.
"About three hours. Are you hungry?"
"A bit, go back and let you try the big lobster I made."
"Well, you go back first, I suddenly want to go swimming."
"Not allowed..."
"Got it, I'm not allowed to swim too far. Rest assured, I don't want to die, especially I don't want to drown as a swimmer."
"Hehehe, the drowned ones are all capable of water, come back within an hour."
Aldridge lifted her up, and the two separated after a kiss on the beach. Aldridge put on his swimming goggles, put on his swimming trunks, and plunged into the water against the waves.
The waters around here are very clear, Aldridge enjoys swimming and diving here, can see the colorful corals on the bottom of the shoal, and can also see the swimming fish.
Swimming alone will inevitably not think about things.
As he said to all fanatic fans at the championship celebration many years ago: Millwall is part of my life.
Six years later, in addition to his work, most of his time will still be on Millwall, becoming an instinct.
He is currently on vacation, but the club's work is extremely heavy. The first team will move into the new stadium, and the Lion's Cave Stadium is also undergoing minor renovations and reconstructions.
The first priority for internal club work is player renewal.
Aldridge is very generous. He directly raises the salary of all the players who are watching in the UEFA world.
Southgate, Nedved, Larson three meritorious ministers, before them is a weekly Premier League top salary contract of 70,000 pounds, if you count their loyalty bonus, the annual salary will be close to 100,000 pounds !
In other words, with these three players alone, the club's annual salary is close to 15 million pounds!
The outside world is saying that Millwall has transformed into a giant, and then Audridge will show the courage and confidence of the giant.
The renewal contracts of other players also increased a lot year-on-year.
And the team will have more sponsorship income this summer, coupled with the revenue growth driven by the new stadium, Millwall’s financial prospects for the new season are still very optimistic, they can still make money, the most fundamental reason is their team building Among the costs, the investment of buying players is not large. Other giants may buy a player for 20 million pounds. This may be the sum of Millwall's investment in recruiting for two years or more.
Against this background, Millwall announced the transfer of the two players in early June.
The first is Van der Mead, who has long been known to the outside world, with a transfer of 15 million pounds to Inter Milan.
The second place is Makelele, with 28 million pounds transferred to Real Madrid.
Makelele's departure was psychologically prepared by the club a year ago.
When the contract was renewed in the summer of 1998, Makelele's agent took care of the Millwall Club. That contract was the last contract made by Makelele and Millwall.
After the semi-final battle with Real Madrid, Makelele's agent began contact with Real Madrid.
In this matter, Aldridge just called Makelele after the season and asked a simple question.
Really don't want to play for Millwall anymore?
Makelele's answer is also simple.
I got everything here, and now, I want new challenges.
Aldridge did not ask what the other party wanted.
There are always strange or intricate factors in the transfer of players. The competitive factors are significant, but not all.
On the road of creating great business and striking glory, some people will be satisfied, some will be slack, some will give up, no matter what the reason is, if someone wants to go, there are always many reasons.
Maybe Millwall's jersey is not as noble as Real Madrid.
Perhaps the living environment in southwest London is not as prosperous as that around Real Madrid.
Perhaps it is tired of the rainy rain in London, and the wind and the yearning in Spain yearning for spring in Spain.
Perhaps Makelele wanted to go to Real Madrid to turn the tide and meet the challenge he said.
I haven’t been to the Real Madrid Club and I haven’t been to the Santiago Bernabeu. I can’t feel the shock of that magnificent stadium, I can’t feel the contagion behind that majesty, so many players say they dream of playing for Real Madrid. The flattering words, but in the most comfortable living environment, in the most high-end stadium, in front of the world's most discerning fans, conquering there is indeed a very difficult dream that many players go to succeed .
Real Madrid initially offered 20 million pounds. Chairman Sans was facing a general election in the summer. He wanted to inspire people through the success of the transfer market. He voted for himself. Aiming at this, the Millwall Lions asked for 35 million pounds. In the tug-of-war, the Makelele transfer was finalized at a transfer price of £28 million.
Before the opening of the European Cup, Makelele had already gone to Bernabeu to complete the medical examination. The transaction could be completed only when the summer transfer window opened.
Aldridge’s summer work needs to be done based on the results of the club’s renewal.
To put it bluntly, he just wants to see who will leave the team after the holidays and then carry out targeted reinforcements.
Van der Mede's departure was an accident, but after all, the substitute is a substitute. It is not difficult to find an alternative for the substitute.
Makelele left, and was mentally prepared before. Gattuso could be superior. Although the two have different abilities and different characteristics, Aldridge still thinks it is acceptable and is a good phenomenon in a sense.
Countless times in history have proved that a team that continues to succeed will eventually become a burden in the later period.
Because the players are too successful and the contribution to the team is too great, from the fans to the club, they will spoil the players, and even indulge and tolerate the players.
Until one day, people will accept reality when they realize that the former meritorious veteran has become a stumbling block to hinder the team.
This is another focus of team building: metabolism!
People who have nothing will lack the motivation to create when they get wealth, and then become lazy, corresponding to the court, that is, there will be players who will eat the old ones.
Millwall needs to continue to create brilliance, metabolism, and the frequency of renewal should be fast. It can't wait for the high-rise building to be in decline. If it is really the time, then the situation is familiar: push down and rebuild!
Aldrich doesn’t mind someone leaving, someone leaving, the team has fresh blood injected, more energetic, more competitive, let the newcomers work hard to threaten the old officials, force them not to relax, so that the team can Continue to make great strides instead of keeping the lineup intact. Lack of aggressiveness leads to stagnation and being surpassed.
As long as the team's main lineup does not change more than 3 personnel, Aldridge is still ambitious for the new season because he has enough young strength to supplement the team and give pressure to the honorable main players.
It was dark when the swim came ashore, and Aldridge put on his big pants, walked into the forest road, got on a kart, and drove the kart along the forest road back to the house on the island.
Yiwen prepared a table of food, basically seafood. She also made a candlelight dinner emotionally. Aldridge went for a simple bath and then went to the living room, sitting opposite her at the dining table. Lifted the glass to signal a toast, and then began this warm and romantic dinner.
"Do I need to wake you up in the middle of the night?"
At the end of the dinner, Yiwen asked suddenly.
Aldrich shook his head with a smile and said, "I came here on vacation. I have been dealing with football for more than 300 days a year. I don't want to be disturbed by football at this time."
"No, you enjoy all this, and I also enjoy being with you like this, even if I watch the game."
"No, there are beautiful women around me. I'm in a place where no one will disturb me. Look at the beautiful surroundings and listen to the natural sounds of nature. Why would I enjoy climbing in the middle of the night to watch the game? And it has nothing to do with me."
Aldridge said of course.
Yi Wen stared at Aldridge for a long time with his lower lip, and his eyes were quite playful, and finally sighed: "Well, what you say is what."
In the early morning of the next day, Aldridge was still in his dreams, warm and fragrant jade in his arms. Last night was a night that all men would enjoy, and the house was full of spring.
He was woken up by the phone.
Upon receiving it, Andrew roared.
