Chapter 330: One billion


With the increasingly advanced television broadcasting technology, the benefits of football games through broadcasting have increased rapidly, and the value of star players has only risen. The operating costs of the club have been increasing. In order to pursue profits and reduce business risks, the G14 organization came into being.
Edwards took the "European Super League" that he often talked about at the Premier League boss round table to the G14 meeting. Although this organization has not yet been formally established, when forming the prototype, there is a goal and position to let everyone Bundle together.
This is to fight against the UEFA Chamber. There is no doubt that UEFA is just the organizer. Its biggest brand is the Champions League, and the pillars of the UEFA Champions League are all these European clubs. Therefore, the clubs are united in order to obtain more benefits. , And then put pressure on UEFA, this is a kind of "class struggle" common in all walks of life.
"European Premier League" is just a vision, but this vision is enough to panic UEFA, Aldridge almost silent during the first G14 meeting, he has self-knowledge, he sits here is only a supporting role, and is very unremarkable The supporting role of this organization needs the most influential club in Europe to join. Compared to history, Millwall is definitely not as good as Liverpool, nor is it comparable to the teams that have won the Champions League here, but Milwaukee, which has set off a youth storm in Europe in the past two years Well, there is no doubt that it has enough popularity strength. At least, Millwall compares to Dortmund, Ajax and Ligue 1 teams. No one dares to say that Millwallson is inferior to them in terms of influence.
However, Aldridge put his position in place, but he didn't listen to it. If he really talked, he would only be offensive and rejected.
Millwall was able to join here, because he already had a bargain, so he didn't have to be too tight.
At the very least, G14 is a quantitative expression of a club's status in Europe.
They held a secret meeting in Brussels, but the organization was not mysterious and did not want to be mysterious. After they reached agreement internally, they needed to disclose their decisions and plans to UEFA to hear, or UEFA gave in to them, Either, everybody beats twice, we do the European Super League ourselves, not to participate in the Champions League, to see who wins and who loses.
In addition to attending this meeting for the first time, Aldridge will not attend the G14 summit in the future, but will be represented by Adam. In fact, this organization will also be stunned in the future, forcing UEFA to reform, the UEFA Champions League schedule has been changed very strangely, the game More games, indeed more broadcast income, and more bonuses, but let the giants fall into the quagmire when multi-line combat, multi-line combat that could not be taken into account at the end, it is not surprising that the chicken fly egg fight.
UEFA began to contact the heads of these giants immediately after hearing the news of the rebellion of the European giants. However, everyone formed an alliance and agreed in advance. UEFA has no plans to do anything, and it has begun to brew the UEFA Champions League next season. The regulations, the 98/99 season is impossible to change, there is no room for time.
The World Cup in France was in full swing, Audridge and Ewen, Brady, Sol, the four and Carter and some of his friends went on a trip to Switzerland, skiing in summer, do not have a tasteful.
Before the World Cup ended, England fell into a mixture of anger and disappointment.
England-Afghanistan war, England was eliminated again. This time it was not the miracle of Maradona’s hand and midfield attack that had connected five people. The media and the public aimed at the English supernova Beckham. He irrationally The retaliatory action led to a red card appearance.
Beckham went directly to the United States to seek comfort from his girlfriend Victoria, and the British media's condemnation of him became more and more fierce.
Even when France beat Brazil cleanly in the final, the British media's condemnation of Beckham is still not over.
Aldridge has never had a great time in Switzerland, but after the World Cup, his vacation is over.
Back in London, he held a press conference in mid-July.
Fleet Street newspaper tabloid reporters swarmed.
The theme of today's press conference is that he wants to announce the team's transfer situation.
But when he sat down, the reporters under the stage could not wait to raise their hands to ask questions.
Aldridge was surprised: I didn't say a word, what do you have to ask?
Because the outside world did not know the theme of today's press conference, someone directly raised his hand to ask a question, which made Aldrich puzzled.
But he still let Richard speak.
"Coach Hall, how do you think Beckham was sent off with a red card at the World Cup in France?"
The other reporters put their hands down. It seems that the questions they want to ask are the same.
About Beckham.
Just before the start of the World Cup, the British media believed that there are many new generations of English football idols, but the most popular are Aldridge and Beckham, Irving is also exciting, but when the World Cup is over, everyone’s views It changed, after all, Beckham became the sinner of the England national team.
Aldridge calmly said: "If you are asking about the red card, I think there is no problem, Beckham has revenge, and the referee's penalty is not controversial."
"How do you think Diego Simone fell to the ground in exaggeration?"
"This has nothing to do with Simone’s actions. The nature of Beckham’s foul is a red card action. No matter how big or small the damage is, it’s like I’m walking on the street and attacked by a gangster. Maybe I’m just bruising, but I hold Is it wrong to scream at the wound? Whether or not I exaggerate the injury, the fact of being attacked is not fabricated."
"So, should Beckham take full responsibility for England's defeat?"
Aldrich shook his head and smiled, saying: "I don't think this is the case. The media is very strange. When Beckham did not play in the group stage, you complained that Hodell did not give Beckham a chance. When he made a mistake, you put it again. He is a sinner. The England national team has coaches and more than 20 players. It’s not all Beckham’s credit for winning. It’s not his responsibility to lose. He’s still young. I believe this experience is right For him, it is a precious experience that will make him more mature in the future and more suitable for the big scene."
"There is news that Beckham will leave England in the summer."
"Impossible, Ferguson will not let him go, and I am sure that his stay at Manchester is the most correct for his growth and development. Okay, this is the end of Beckham’s topic. If you want to know me In the end, I can only say one thing: failure is the past, look forward. Beckham is a good player, but he is not a god, please give him more tolerance, he will return England with action. "
As soon as Aldridge's voice fell, the scene was quiet.
In fact, the reporters are not too much to watch the excitement. They fan the flames in the public opinion, causing many extreme fans in England to run to the door of Beckham’s house to abuse and throw stones to attack the mansion. Beckham temporarily left England to take refuge, but also There is no way out of the situation.
After the reporters put down Beckham's topic, they looked up at Aldridge and waited for him to reveal the answer to the press conference.
Aldridge cleared his throat and said calmly: "Today I am here to announce the transfer of several players. The signing of Millwall is in progress. There is no comment yet, but there are a few players who will transfer and leave. "
The reporters were shocked.
Several players!
Millwall This is the rhythm of supermarket opening!
Good fellow, can't Ajax in England escape the fate of being hollowed out?
Aldridge said lightly: "Shevchenko transferred to AC Milan with a transfer fee of 18 million pounds. The transaction has been reached."
Many reporters have guessed that Shevchenko will transfer. After winning the Champions League final, Shevchenko's abnormal emotional expression is a sign of leaving the team.
"Trezeguet's £18 million transfer to Juventus."
The reporters were surprised.
Fuck, both forwards sold?
But thinking about it, Trezeguet club's top honors have been taken, and the World Cup just ended has become the World Cup champion. This kid is really good life!
However, the situation of Millwall is too surprising. The three main forwards have gone to the second one, Larson? Will he also leave?
"Barack transferred £15 million to Real Madrid."
Barak? !
That German.
The reporters looked at each other, Real Madrid bought Barak, may squeeze out Karenbu's position.
Barack + Redondo + Seedorf, the combination of these three midfielders is really top.
In fact, the outside world has always been arguing about whether Barak and Pirlo should occupy the main midfield position of Millwall, and this debate is deadlocked, because each has its own strengths, and now the answer comes out, Barak takes the initiative to leave, Pirlo’s main force No one can shake it.
Lampard? Even Fleet Street doesn't think that local rookie Lampard can challenge Pirlo's status in the short term.
"Elgra transferred £20 million to Real Madrid."
Spanish central defender is going away?
It’s no wonder that they are going to Real Madrid again. The Spaniards are still joining the top giants in their hometowns. Poor Southgate, watching the partners around him leave one by one, first left Stam, Elgra now gone.
"Capdevila transferred £12 million to A Coruña."
The Spanish full-back has also returned to his motherland?
Not to mention that at this stage, the La Liga teams have money, which originated from the broadcast rights war, which has allowed the La Liga club to have a lot of money to enrich the lineup. When Real Madrid and Barcelona sell the broadcast rights separately, the revenue of other La Liga teams will plummet. .
A Coruña is ambitious, not only invited Irueta in the summer, but also introduced many powerful cadres in the transfer market, Pauletta, Pablo, Romero, and now Capdevi Pull, if you can really pinch into a synthetic type, the future should not be underestimated.
The scene was silent, and everyone was waiting for Aldridge to continue to announce.
Aldridge spread his hands and said, "No, other players have signed a new contract with the club."
After winning the Champions League, Millwall will make a big leap in the new season regardless of the Champions League bonus broadcast fee or commercial sponsorship income. Therefore, Aldridge directly increased the salary of the first team players by 30%. This is also his usual practice. After waiting for the team’s salary to have a huge gap with the giants’ team, they will talk to the players about salary increase and renewal. In that case, Millwall is very passive both emotionally and posture, and renews the contract early. Players raise salaries, players are happy, the club also sleeps steadily, even if the player wants to transfer, the contract is absolutely safe, and the seller can sell a good price.
The reporters took a pen and dragged it on the notebook a few times, and then came to a surprising number.
Grass, Millwall's net income this summer just started, net income of 83 million pounds!
You are more ruthless than the real Ajax!
Counting the transfer market revenue and expenditure in previous years, Millwall made more than 100 million net profits in four years!
