Chapter 650: Highest price


Arriving in the office of Aldridge's training base, Reyes involuntarily raised his chest, his eyes filled with awe, and even his family was very humble.
Aldridge’s office doesn’t have a trophy, no medal of honor, but the seven pictures of Millwall’s family portraits from the past seven seasons on the wall seem to have unparalleled magic, and they are awesome when they are seen. .
Seven photos, condensing the distance Millwall has traveled in the past seven seasons, is also an alternative resume for Aldridge's work.
Aldridge poured water for them personally, and instead of sitting behind the desk, he stood at the desk and said calmly: "Okay, do you have any questions to answer, or have dissatisfaction and demands, now we Speak openly."
Reyes can stand upright in front of Najib, and can't even lift his head in front of Aldridge.
The young man in front of him, strictly speaking, is his boss, although he has not directed him in a game.
In the club, Aldridge has absolute authority. The authority of this kind of head coach, placed in many rich clubs, is inviolable.
The head coach says you can't do it, you can't do it no matter how dissatisfied you are.
If the head coach does not let you play, you cannot play.
There is no room for bargaining.
Mo said that Aldridge is the boss. With his seven-year record, he puts on any other club's head coach. How can a youth team dare to make a difference?
Reyes did not dare to speak, and even had a fear in his heart.
He was afraid to hear Aldridge's denial, deny his strength, deny his future, deny everything about him.
If such an outstanding coach deny a player, even a famous star, it will have a negative impact, and young players will suffer a huge blow in their hearts.
It’s just that the head coach has integrity, especially when it comes to the level of a handsome coach, to attack young players, regardless of opponents and me. This kind of dirty thing can easily cause public outrage, too low-handed, and deviate from mainstream values. For young people, encourage and It is only correct to promote this kind of positive guidance. Occasionally good warnings are also acceptable, but if it is denied, it is too cruel.
There was a period of silence in the office, and Reyes’s family couldn’t resist the slightly suppressed atmosphere, and said:
Mr. Hall, how did Jose perform at Millwall last season, this is obvious to all. You can’t deny it?"
Aldridge looked as usual and said lightly: "We have our own set of player evaluation systems. I have read Jose's growth report last season and it's okay."
is acceptable?
Is it barely passing?
Reyes' family was surprised.
What a joke!
In the Intercontinental Youth League, Reyes was elected the best player of the tournament.
If he is okay, wouldn't other players be terrible?
As Aldridge said, Millwall has his own system for evaluating player growth, and each player's standards cannot be the same.
Because everyone has a different starting point.
Like Reyes and Ribery, Reyes is very talented, and the basic points that come to the team may reach 50 points, and Ribery is a player who was abandoned by Lille Youth Academy and came to the basic points of the team. Maybe only 20 points.
But after a year of training, Reyes grew from 50 to 60 points, Ribery rose from 20 to 35 points, yes, Ribery is still not as good as Reyes, but in terms of growth, Reyes 'S evaluation will not be higher than Ribery!
And Reyes still did not overcome the key points that Aldridge and Naji had discussed earlier in the season.
In Aldrich's eyes, Reyes' growth was unsatisfactory.
Technical players do not rely on confrontation. This is a fact. No matter whether they pass the position or break through, they rely more on technology.
However, your opponent will force you to fight.
Aldrich couldn’t imagine how Ronaldinho could exert his magic on the top arena if he didn’t have the courage to fight the chaotic army.
How many times did Zidane leisurely play Marseille maneuvers when his opponent came over with a fierce shovel?
Confrontation is just a general concept and does not specifically refer to physical contact. The core is actually courage and will. In the future, more and more technical players will land in the Premier League. Among them, there are many thin and weak players who can't help but are as good as they are in the Premier League. Are they fighting badly? It is indeed not strong, but with the will and courage to confront, it can shine here.
According to Reyes, he voluntarily avoided the momentum of confrontation and continued to develop. In the future, he does not need physical contact. Defending him and scaring can scare him to death!
"Mr. Hall, Jose is 18 years old this year. We think he has the strength to play for the first team of Millwall. Can he enter the first team next season?"
Reyes's family was silent for a while before clarifying the subject directly.
Aldrich shook his head slightly and said, "The player is not strong enough to play for the first team. It is not someone else's decision, it's me. And I and my colleagues, every coach here, we will make it for the player's own situation. The reasonable growth plan we have arranged for the players is definitely the best option we have considered."
"What is the basis for this? Liverpool can allow Irving, 17, to play the main role, and Arsenal also have a high striker, it seems to be playing at 18, also in England, also in Millwall, at 18 There are not many first-team players. Why is Jose not good? His physical condition and technical ability are no worse than those of his peers."
Aldridge was reluctant to discuss this topic with others, because what he said would seem to be sophistry.
In fact, there is only one answer: Irving is Irving, Ibrahimovic is Ibrahimovic, Ronaldinho is Ronaldinho, Villa is Villa, and Reyes is just himself Reyes.
It is the most unreasonable practice in the world to use other people's examples to cover yourself.
Seeing Aldrich shaking his head without answering, Reyes' family made an ultimatum.
"Mr. Hall, if Millwall cannot provide a suitable career development environment and opportunity, then please ask Millwall to allow Jose to transfer."
Aldridge's expression remained unchanged, and his eyes turned to Reyes. He asked softly, "José, what do you think?"
Reyes was sweating coldly, daring not to look at Aldridge's eyes, and for a long time he barely said, "I want to play professional games as soon as possible."
Aldrich nodded and said lightly: "Well, I respect your choice, the club will list you, good luck."
After all, Aldridge sent away.
Reyes’s agent is from Spain. I heard that Millwall wanted to list Reyes and immediately ran to the club. The first requirement was that the transfer fee should be 15%. Yes transfer fee!
Aldridge pushed the boat and told the reporter on Fleet Street.
Reyes’s agent asked for a high price, although there was no conflict with Reyes’ transfer, but under the media rendering, Reyes’s departure, from his previous claim that Millwall was ruining him and forcing him away , Falling into the eyes of outsiders, it became completely greedy Reyes' agent, and reflected on Reyes.
As soon as Reyes was listed, Wenger found the door.
Arsenal wanted to take advantage of this. Wenger Joodrich met at the Chinese restaurant to discuss Reyes transfer.
After seeing Reyes' performance in the youth team game, especially in the intercontinental game, Wenger likes this technical player, which is in line with his ideal gunner lineup puzzle.
But after a dinner, Aldridge did not give Wenger any promise.
Even Wenger said again and again: Players like Reyes, if other clubs are not well-tuned, it is easy to get rid of it! Give it to me!
Aldrich didn't care where Reyes went. If Reyes just expressed his demands calmly, Aldridge might have softened his heart and sold him to Arsenal. After all, Wenger was right. Some players must be guided by famous teachers. Reyes will definitely have more opportunities at Arsenal than Millwall. If he can find out that he is facing poor problems earlier, Wenger may have the patience and ability to help Rey. Overcome.
However, since Najib, Aldridge's brother in mind, has been "bullyed", Aldridge's vision for the players is also angered.
Reyes, just like a commodity, is listed, and the higher the price!
There are many clubs in the English Premier League participating in the auction.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and even Chelsea have also made public offers.
But the hottest chase is the Spanish team, but unfortunately there are not many La Liga teams.
Reyes is talented and shows some strength in the Youth League. There is also an upper limit for bidding club bids.
Unlike the 19-year-old Saviola, who not only performed amazingly in the World Youth Championship, but also in the three years from 16 to 19, he seriously played the main force in the Argentine giants bed team and scored nearly 50 goals. This has been tempered by professional leagues, and it has been proved that the rich have the bottom of their hearts when they pay for it.
Like Reyes, which only has outstanding performance in the same age group, not many people dare to gamble on it.
Among the English clubs, Chelsea is the highest bidder. Bates estimated that he wanted to tap Millwall's genius to achieve a double victory, giving a 7 million pounds offer.
In the end, Reyes moved to a low-level league club.
On the advice of his family, he returned to Spain and reported to the capital Madrid. Of course, he did not go to Real Madrid. Although Real Madrid also offered a price, Florentino seems not interested in this unknown little doll, which is symbolic. The local quotation was 4 million pounds. If you can get it, you can take it.
Reyes joined Real Madrid's rival, Atletico Madrid.
Atletico, who is in the West B, was sorrowfully dropped to the second level after 70 years in the previous season!
Last season, the team chaosed anyway, but unfortunately at the end of the season due to the goal difference and stayed in the second team, but the team's ambitions and heritage are still there, this season cleaned up some veterans, the structure of a new lineup mainly for young people, Reyes It is precisely when I saw that there must be a chance to get up there. Torres, who is younger than him, would already have to pick up the beam?
Atletico can't get much cash, but it can be paid in installments.
Taking into account the details of Atletico Madrid, Aldridge does not believe that the other party will be in debt or unable to repay in the future. After all, it is only 9.5 million pounds, which will be paid off in four years. Only 1 million pounds will be given this year.
Maybe Atletico will return to La Liga next season, and they will be able to pay off at once. Fortunately, it is the veteran strong team of the Spanish capital. No matter how poor, there are still old signs.
If you do not agree with Atletico Madrid’s offer and do not want to sell people to Chelsea, Aldridge can only agree to Manchester United’s £5.5 million offer, and the loss is as much as £4 million.
