Chapter 333: Waiting for your expression

Although Najib is in charge of the construction of the youth team, he will also pay attention to the situation of the reserve team. In terms of player growth, ability evaluation, and status inspection, Audridge trusts Najib very much. Whenever he needs to adjust the lineup to enable the non-first team standing main force At that time, Najib’s opinions were the first he would listen to.
"Ramor, if you only watch him training, you still think he is a genius, skill, physical fitness, running position, coordination consciousness, everything is okay, but in the game, he will avoid confrontation intentionally or unintentionally, serious injury plus The shadow of Doncaster has not disappeared in his mind. In the second half of last season, after Ronaldinho left the reserve team, Lamor's performance began to improve, but I don't think he is ready to report to the first team. Let’s wait and see if he can further overcome the psychological shadow of physical confrontation in the reserve team in the new season."
Najib's words are very pertinent. He will not recommend the players because the first team needs a striker. That is unprofessional and will lay hidden dangers for the first team's record.
When it comes to players, seeking truth from facts is the first principle.
Aldridge nodded when he heard the words and said nothing more.
This kind of thing cannot be forced, and the player's ability to do so is a realistic issue, which has nothing to do with his subjective will.
"If some players need to go out for exercise on loan, then you can consider it and make a list for me. I have a lot of low-level club loan requests."
Aldrich chatted with Najib and took Ferreira and Cole to the first team.
Najib will decide the fate of the young players based on his judgment. If he thinks that some players have reached the first team level, he will definitely recommend it to Aldridge as soon as possible. If not, the youth team or the reserve league is not suitable. This player is further improved, and loaning out is a good way to exercise, but it should also be treated with care and seek the most suitable exercise environment for the player.
This kind of work is not easy, because the first team of Millwall is full of talents. The higher the level, the more difficult it is for the youth team players to squeeze in. Players like Paulson and Cahill, who are already 18 years old, go to England. The first-level team can already play the main force, but in the Millwall first team, the bench can not be played.
Of course, they still have room to grow, and the loan is to tap the potential, but the potential of different players is naturally different. If the coaches determine that the player’s potential reaches the limit but it is still not enough for the first team level, then the players are listed and let them leave to suit their level. The club's career is also a very good result. Perhaps these mid- and downstream teams, these players are valued, can break into a world.
At night, someone invited Aldridge to dinner.
The head coach of the Shinco Champions League and former Champions League members sat in a high-end restaurant.
Martin O'Neill.
The opponent once won the Champions League twice under the legendary coach Clough, which is the glory of the player era, Audridge can not compare, but in terms of the level of coach, Audridge is clearly better than O'Neill.
Martin O'Neill is also a blockbuster coach, but the sensation of his coaching fame is not strongly impactful. In the Premier League two decades later, people will always say how well Moyes led Everton's small business. In fact, Martin O'Neill is more impressive than Moyes.
Since he led the City of Leicester to overtake, Leicester City has never been in the predicament of the relegation battle, and is ranked in the middle of the Premier League every year. The honour room can also add trophy honors. This record is comparable to Moyes. The veteran powerhouse Everton nearly relegated the record ups and downs more outstanding.
"Usually you don't see any difference between players. When they are good, they are very good. When they are bad, it makes people feel depressed. When you always think that the team can play better, but the players don't seem to think so. They I feel that the results that have been achieved are the best, and no effort can get more rewards. This is probably the difference in temperament between the strong team and the weak team."
O'Neill sent a few complaints to Audridge. After hearing it, Audridge only laughed. It was probably a complaint that had been pressed against the other party for half a year.
Small teams have the limitations of small teams, and rising to a high level is a matter of team temperament.
Leicester City ranked in the top seven of the Premier League at the end of the last half of the season, but only 11th in the Premier League at the end of the season. The crux of the team’s record decline is obvious: once the record declines, it is pushed out of the upstream group, the team His impulse and anger suddenly lost half.
"Then you can try to change the environment. I heard that Tottenham didn't intend you to replace Francis?"
As a friend, Aldridge can only explain him this way.
Leicester City does not have the capital to complete a major exchange, so it is impossible for players to replace O'Neill with a batch of players. Then O'Neal will either move the nest or continue to endure this situation.
It's easy to understand. Leicester City's overall strength is estimated to be the downstream grade every year. Once they get the middle and upper rankings, the players are satisfied.
Many teams want to dig O'Neal to coach. He can lead Leicester City in the middle of the Premier League for two consecutive years. This achievement is no less than the achievement of the middle and upper teams to squeeze into the top three.
O'Neill shook his head slightly and sighed, "I'm not too willing to give up. I went to a new team. Everything has to be overturned. Not every team can accept my management model and technical and tactical system."
Aldrich nodded in agreement. O'Neal knew that the two were considered to be the same.
During the dinner, the two chatted a lot about football. After the dinner, O'Neill asked Audridge: "Can Good Johnson sell it to me?"
Aldridge tapped on the table lightly and smiled: "But it is not Leicester City that is the highest bidder."
"Are you going to sell him to Chelsea?"
Aldridge chuckled and said, "Well, £51 million, I don’t want to worry about it. In fact, I called Good Johnson before dinner and told him that the club agreed to Leicester City. Offer."
Martin O'Neill widened his eyes unbelievably: "Why didn't you say it early?"
Aldridge smiled at his face: "Because I'm waiting for you now!"
There are many clubs that want to buy Good Johnson, even Manchester United are involved, but Good Johnson left to play for the main force, go to the giants or strong teams, he is mostly still a substitute, so the middle and lower teams will give him a starting position The team is the first choice.
The highest bid was Chelsea, with an offer of 8 million pounds.
But Aldridge doesn't want to do business with Chelsea. They are dead enemies. No matter if there are Millwall players who will play for Chelsea in the future, at least he can't allow Millwall players to transfer directly to Chelsea.
Leicester City only offered 6 million pounds, this price is not low, O'Neill wants to make Goodjohnson and Tony form a double forward. The two forwards produced by Millwall have their own characteristics and can be complementary in tactics. I think this is an important foundation for Leicester City to achieve greater achievements. At the same time, Leicester City has signed a defender Sinclair from Chelsea for two million pounds to strengthen the defense.
Tony scored 17 league goals in Leicester City last season, only one difference to get the Premier League Golden Boots, the team is ranked in the middle, the bonus is at least more than the team behind, plus the Premier League broadcast With a substantial increase in income, it is still possible for the team to invest nearly ten million pounds. The pressure on the salary system of their team is not great, and there is room for growth.
Martin O'Neill smiled dumbly. He shook his head and sighed at Aldridge: "I still want to talk to you about the price."
"Although 6 million pounds is not a reflection of Good Johnson’s future worth, but he only played on the bench at Millwall last year. The Leicester City offer is sincere and should be the limit of your transfer budget. This In terms of time, I don’t want to delay the time, some players want to go, then go as soon as possible, so as not to stay in the team and affect the military."
O'Neill sighed: "Yes, 6 million is the highest price we can give, even if it is 500,000 higher, we can't afford it."
It sounds like 500,000 to 1,000,000, but in this era, it may be the salary cost of a major player for one or two years. The small clubs are careful and budgetary, and the budget must be carefully planned. Aldridge also takes this into consideration. I don't want to bargain with Leicester City. It doesn't make much sense. There will be no big progress if you are struggling to the end.
The two formally shook hands again before going out of the hotel together. This scene was captured by the squatting paparazzi. While Good Johnson was still considering, Fleet Street published an article prediction: Good Johnson will transfer to Leicester City. The team, after Tony, flew to O'Neal's Millwall forward for the second time.
Goodjohnson almost didn't have any intersection with Tony. When he came to the team, Tony was no longer on the team. Occasionally, he could meet when he came back to receive technical special training during the loan period.
But Tony's outstanding performance in Leicester City seemed like a beacon, and Odrich also respected O'Neill. Good Johnson decided to move to Leicester City after O'Neal personally persuaded him.
Two days later, Millwall and Leicester City officially announced that Good Johnson had reached a transfer agreement worth 6 million pounds.
Aldridge has a missing striker in the plan, he wants to find a replacement, and only Fanny and Klose are in the center position. Klose first entered the Premier League. If Fanny is injured, it is also a key moment to rely on it. Doubt, although the Germans have performed well in the reserve team for a season.
While Aldridge was checking the European transfer market news, Andrew sent a bunch of materials to his door.
"We have the results of the draft event held on the African continent. These are the information of the players who signed up for the competition. You see."
In Aldrich's office, Andrew flipped Erlang's legs to read the book at will, while Aldridge put down his work to see Andrew's achievements in Africa.
The African continent is also a gold mine for players. Because of poor material conditions, children in Africa, like children in many slums in South America, dream of becoming famous and leading their families out of poverty.
This has allowed many black-hearted agents to take advantage of the loophole. Unlike the professional football system in continental Europe, which has matured, each club radiates local or national regions, and the scouting network covers a wide range. Although there are also some missing fish, most of them are talented. Young players will enter the professional football field early.
The children in Africa have no way to play football, and the football on the African continent is also lagging behind. Therefore, they dream of going to European clubs for trial training. There are often lawbreakers who pretend to be brokers or themselves are bad brokers to come to the house to swindle and lie to help young people. Go to the European team for trial training, and then swindle the money the opponent's family paid for their dreams, and that money may be all the savings of the whole family.
Under such a background, Andrew’s company held a local football draft event in Africa and was warmly welcomed. The event propagated for three months. The young people who came to participate in various countries of the African continent conducted trial training within the continent. It is easier to cross the ocean and cross the sea to Europe.
