Chapter 525: I can't dream

Millwall's signing work is now easier than ever.
As for the giants, as long as it is not to dig the pillars of the same level of giants, and to the main force of the next-line club, it is really not difficult to dig.
Not only does the job of actively digging people have so much resistance, there are always countless recommendations from the outside.
The top teams in the second-tier leagues will also recommend their own stars, such as Porto recommended Jader, the price is 25 million pounds, the scorer in the Champions League last season, second only to Henry, is worth the price. The Millwall striker has no place anyway.
Aldrich likes young players. This is not a secret. It is not just UEFA. There are also recommended players from South America, but the number is not large because of the obstruction of labor certification.
But today, Aldridge handed him a deleted list in the club's transfer department.
The Flamengo Club recommended a player to Millwall for £8 million.
The player is 18 years old, Brazilian, and is a striker.
The coaching staff with relaxed training tasks will also look at the video tapes of players sent by agents or clubs in their spare time.
Just looking at the player's video, everyone has an intuitive evaluation: 8 million pounds, maybe a good deal.
This person's name is Adriano, the future King Meazza!
Ade just joined Flamengo this year, and quickly made a name for himself in Flamengo. The Bundesliga started in April, and now it is almost halfway through. There are 7 goals in this kid’s league. For players in the top league, this is enough to be used as a blockbuster capital.
Physical talents ensure that he has enough capital to fight against, and based on the hard goals of the Premier League, he has reached the standard at the age of 18.
And watching his videotape, the technical level is also satisfactory.
Aldridge sighed softly and rejected Flamengo's recommendation.
8 million pounds to buy Ad, is it worth it? Great value!
But he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t want to add more South American players, especially Brazilian players. After all, Ronaldinho is already in the team. He’s really afraid that Ade will come here and join Ronaldinho. Good friends, that is not a good sign.
Ten years later, Adelaide was depraved and forgotten.
But six years after the original history, just after the World Cup, Manchester United and Inter Milan had a secret contact. The content of this negotiation was the transfer of players, the buyer was Manchester United, and the goal was Inter Milan’s Adriano. What are the conditions proposed by Manchester United? 60 million cash, plus a team star, Cristiano Ronaldo!
Moratti refused...
It can't be said that Adriano had completely exploded Cristiano Ronaldo and was worth more than 60 million. After all, Cristiano Ronaldo became a British enemy at the time.
If there is any player in Brazil that he wants most, then there is only one person.
Son of God! Kaka!
It is a pity that even though Andrew established a connection with Kaka under the direction of Aldridge, Kaka's family is not enthusiastic, they are middle class, and their lives are nourishing, so don't worry about letting Kaka land in Europe, even if it is a South American star. The road that the times must pass, but Millwall can not guarantee the main position, various factors make Aldridge can only sigh in the heart.
Most of the players recommended by other clubs were directly rejected by Aldridge, but they were also negotiated.
Groningen also signed a talented young player this summer.
16-year-old Alger Robben.
Ronald Roosevelt did not enter the youth training system of the mainstream three giants in the Netherlands. Therefore, he kind of meant playing football. He hone his skills on his own. This is how he came out. After that, he joined the Groningen youth camp because Talent is different, teammates are not at the same rate and level with him, then, naturally, he becomes, more independent!
Football is a set of player training standards that are not defined as truth.
The team is the mainstream, but it's just that someone can compete against a team with one's own strength. There are countless heroes fighting alone, becoming famous, defeated, forgotten after being laughed at by others.
Robben played alone in a match of the same age. When he could score 10 or 20 goals a game, how did the outside world react?
genius!
It's that simple, but no one will accuse him of being too independent, lack of tactical discipline, lack of awareness of teamwork, etc.
Robben entered the club's first team from the Groningen youth camp. He has not played in an official game. The Groningen club realized that they would certainly not retain this genius.
In order to avoid things like Millwall taking away van der Med from Ajax for free, the Groningen club was smart enough to directly recommend players to Millwall.
Robben himself did not resist the transfer, did he stick to Groningen? Don’t be funny, the goal of the Dutch genius is to conquer the whole of Europe instead of calling for storms in the Netherlands. If a Dutch genius can’t leave the Netherlands slowly, it can only explain the fact that this genius has become an ending.
Groningen made things public. Robben had a contract and was temporarily safe. In this way, if other clubs wanted Robben, they would have to fight for it. If someone touches the player in private, it will inevitably lose face, and Groningen There is also confidence to make things happen to UEFA, even FIFA.
In the case of Robben not playing in an official game, other clubs are definitely watching.
Is there less genius in the Netherlands? Quite a lot.
But is the 16-year-old genius still 10 years later?
Who knows?
No club will easily bet on a 16-year-old player, especially without the experience of a top league.
Millwall dare.
Groningen's recommended price was £10 million.
Millwall paid 2 million pounds, with the proviso that Robben continued to play for Groningen for two years. Two years later, he moved to Millwall at the age of 18. At that time, Millwall paid another 6 million pounds.
Groningen and Millwall signed this strange agreement in UEFA.
Will Millwall pay the deposit before buying the player?
The most enthusiastic of this deal was not the Groningen club, Robben’s father, Hans, who was Robben’s agent, and came to London specifically.
At first, Millwall proposed to buy Robben directly, and then lease Robben back to Groningen for two years.
The direct reason for the collapse was that Hans was dissatisfied with the contract Millwall had awarded Robben.
Millwall’s first-team salaries have skyrocketed in recent years, but the youth team’s salary has been declining all the way. This is not to say that from the previous player with a weekly salary of 500, the renewal of the second year became 300, but when Aldridge first waved the pound genius, he could at least give 2000-3000 or more weekly salary.
Now, Millwall Summer Echelon, a 16-year-old player, has a minimum weekly salary of £50 and the highest, but only £300.
Millwall's weekly salary for Robben is £600, which is already a high salary compared to the entire 16-year-old echelon.
It is impossible for a club to pay a player who has not played in a professional league a high salary. It is a professional league, not a top league.
In the past, there were not many Millwalls. There were just so many people, everyone was treated the same, nothing.
It's different now. There are more than 100 youth echelons. This is a matter of a salary system and reflects the status of the team.
The rule in the football world is to prove yourself first and then get paid in accordance with performance.
Hans rejected Millwall's contract, but still hopes Robben will play Millwall in the future. At least in Millwall, he is known to be faster and earn more money. Naturally, there will be more. Who makes Millwall the most eye-catching in Europe. One of the teams.
As a result, there is a deposit plus buyout agreement.
Hans’s idea was to have Robben work in Groningen for two years, and had a certain professional league result. When he negotiated with Millwall two years later, he had enough energy. At that time, Millwall was kind enough to give back the £600 week Salary?
If Groningen wants to earn the next 6 million pounds and the 2 million pounds that Millwall paid in advance, then their work in the next two years must first ensure Robben’s improvement so that Millwall maintains interest. However, if Millwall voluntarily gives up two years later, a deposit of 2 million pounds will be given to Groningen free of charge. Secondly, while Millwall remains interested, two years later, he guarantees Robben will transfer to Millwall, or there are other clubs willing to bid more than 10 million pounds, so that Groningen can take out 2 million of them to repay To Millwall, the rest can still make 8 million pounds, otherwise they will have an invisible loss in this transaction.
The night before Millwall was about to set off for Asia, Aldridge had finalized the list of summer signings and handed them to the club transfer department.
13-year-old Joe Hart, 15-year-old Glen Johnson and Leighton Bynes were discovered in the Millwall Charity Cup.
In addition, Aldridge let the club focus on digging an Everton youth player who is under 15 years old in Merseyside, a small fat man, his family is poor, the whole family is Everton iron fans, Aldridge In the contract treatment proposed by the club, the weekly salary is filled with 500 pounds, and when he reaches the age of 16, the professional contract can be given 1,000 pounds.
This money may be dismissed in the eyes of middle-class families.
But for poor families, the income of tens of thousands of pounds a year is undoubtedly very important and can change a lot, a lot.
The little fat man's name is Wayne Rooney.
At the same time, the club has also quickly finalized the transfer of Pengler with Le Hafer of the French League 2, because Pengler is less than 16 years old, Millwall and Le Hafer’s 2 million pounds buyout fee, Pengler continued to play for Le Havre, and the transfer time was when the first transfer window after adulthood opened.
It was quiet at night, Aldridge was ready to take a break, and his new home was still being renovated. He still lived in a community apartment, and he could move into his new home by about September.
Dingdong!
The doorbell rang.
He went downstairs to open the door and found that the man standing outside was Henry.
"Boss, sorry, I'm here to disturb you so late."
Henry had originally wanted to visit Aldridge two days ago, but Andrew advised him to wait a few days. After all, two days ago, there were too many news around him. .
Millwall will start his journey to Asia tomorrow, and Henry takes the initiative to come tonight and wants to eliminate the misunderstanding with Aldridge.
Aldrich invited him into the house and said lightly as he walked to pour out the water: "I have understood the matter, Thierry, you are willing to stay, I am very happy."
When Aldridge came back with the glass in his hand, Henry said bitterly: "Boss, you are wrong, not that I am willing to stay, but that I never thought of leaving."
Aldridge placed the drinking glass on the coffee table in front of the other party and nodded heavily after sitting down on the sofa.
I have to say that Henry's words made him both relieved and excited.
"Tieri, do you hate me? When I said that."
Aldridge wanted to talk about everything, not wanting to leave any trouble.
Henry picked up the glass and said frankly: "I had a short period of anger and panic, but after calming down and understanding the truth of the matter, I think I can understand the mood of the boss, boss, sorry, my agent brought the club There is a lot of trouble, I have a responsibility, please accept my apology."
Aldridge raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you need me to apologize to you?"
Henry also smiled when he heard the words and said, "As you like."
Aldridge straightened up and leaned in front of Henry, smiling: "Tieri, I will not apologize to you, because I am talking about the fact that if you go to Juventus, you will rot in Turin, You are destroying yourself. If you must do this, I would rather I destroy you."
Aldrich stretched his hand to poke Henry’s chest gently and continued to chuckle with a smile:
You never thought about leaving, this is good, because you are here, it is clear, you, stay in Millwall, with me, we can create What kind of history? You don’t know, I don’t know, because that might be a greatness that you can’t even dream of!

Henry put one hand on his forehead and couldn't help but lower his head to laugh, and Aldridge let out a laugh.
Two men, a pair of mentors and apprentices, released their suspicions.
