Aldridge woke up from his sleep in the morning, and it was just dawn, and I don't know if because he didn't have a European game, his work was easier than before, so he went to bed early at night and woke up early in the morning.

Raised his arm and supported his chin to look down at Evan beside him, reached out and gently brushed away the hair that fell on his face, Evan turned over in a daze, Aldrich smiled softly, got out of bed lightly, changed into sportswear after washing, and was about to go out when he saw Bonnie dragging a large doll standing at the top of the stairs, every time he saw Bonnie dragging or holding the doll, it made Aldrich feel awkward, because the doll was the birthday gift that Kaka gave him before, the shrunken Q version of Aldrich, When she took it home, it became Bonnie's toy, and she was inseparable at home most of the time.

Aldrich gestured to her with a finger in silence, Bonnie covered her mouth with her right hand, blinked her big smart eyes, and then whispered, "Daddy, where are you going?" ”

Aldrich crouched down in front of her and smiled, "Go for a run? Do you want to go together? ”

Bonnie rolled her eyes, pretended to yawn, shook her head as if she hadn't woken up, and headed back to her room.

"Little lazy worm, I'll let you go today."

This daughter is really very different from her two older brothers, Bert and Earl are both athletic boys, completely idle, but Bonnie has a while in addition to practicing at home, just lazily stay in her room to watch animations, and when she finds out that she has gained weight, Aldrich pays attention to it, whether she listens or not, he has to take her to exercise.

Leave home and go for a jog in a nearby park for some fresh air. Aldrich didn't listen to music. He needs to think.

When the new season is about to start. Ronaldo and Messi did not submit a transfer application, nor did they publicly express their intention to leave the team in front of the media, which made Aldridge feel a little hurt in his heart before, but now at least there is some maneuver, at least, it has not completely broken his heart.

However, the window paper still has to be pierced, and Aldridge intends to speak openly with them one last time when he returns to the club today.

Back at home, Evan had already made breakfast. She also woke up early, and Aldrich drove to work alone after breakfast at home.

Probably because I slept too long, even after jogging in the morning, I still felt a little lazy, bought two cups of coffee halfway, gave the doorman a cup when I came to the club, and walked into the office with a cup of coffee.

Two days later we have to play Community Shield, today's training starts at 10am and Aldridge is at the club at 8am because he has an important meeting this afternoon. He's going to get the stuff together.

At 8:25 a.m., two cars drove into the Leo training base. The goalkeeper was drinking coffee from Aldridge and was surprised to see this scene, because he saw Messi and Ronaldo arrive at the club almost one after the other, and it was so early, although these two are known for their hard work, but today is a little too early!

After parking the car in the parking lot, Ronaldo, who was dressed in casual clothes, and Messi, who was also dressed casually, got out of the car at the same time, and the parking spaces of the two were four spaces apart, and the two stood there staring at each other.

After about 20 seconds, the two of them walked together and walked towards each other.

When the two of them stopped facing each other, they invariably stretched out their right hands, and after holding them, they looked at each other and smiled faintly.

In this smile, it is as if the haze of the past few months has been swept away.

It's a pity that no one around can record this scene with a video camera or camera, otherwise, it will definitely become a nostalgic classic in the future.

The two knocked on the door of Aldrich's office together, and Aldrich had just sorted out some of the materials, and stood in front of the window to look out of the landscape, which was also a work habit he had developed to avoid overwork.

Messi and Ronaldo, who pushed open the door and walked into the office, saw Aldrich standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The two closed the door, walked to the desk together, and said in unison, "Good morning, boss!" ”

Hearing the greeting of the two, as well as the picture of the two coming together, Aldrich seemed to realize something, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, his expression was like the sun in the clouds, and his mood suddenly jumped with joy, and nodded to them

In the afternoon, Millwall trained as usual, and when Aldridge came to the training ground with Ronaldo and Messi in his arms during morning training, his teammates also realized that the discord in the team had completely disappeared, and the captain De Rossi bowed his head and laughed softly: "Stinky boy." ”

These two people have a bit of a personal interest idea, which is not an exaggeration, after all, their talents and abilities are obvious to all, and sacrifice and dedication are too noble, and the stronger the ability, the more capital they can claim.

By the afternoon, Aldridge handed over training to new assistant coach Mauricio Pochettino.

In the summer, there were no changes to Millwall's squad, but the coaching staff changed dramatically.

Villas-Boas left his post and returned to Portugal to take charge of the Porto coach.

Blanco left his post and returned to France to take charge of Bordeaux.

Stramaccioni stayed, taking over the work of Boas, in the new assistant recruitment, the retired Pochettino came to visit, the Argentine who had personally experienced the experience of playing against Aldridge as the main force of Argentina in the 02 World Cup, has admired Aldridge for a long time, at least the Argentine fiasco, not only Pochettino, but also the impact on Simeone and other Argentine players is very big, it is unforgettable.

As a result, Pochettino became a member of Millwall's new coaching staff.

There is one less coach than before, but Millwall has no Champions League tasks this season, so one less coach is not a big problem, and the coordination of work has quickly adapted to the current situation.

Aldrich waited in front of the office building for the group to arrive.

Media flocked outside the training base, and two sedans drove into the Millwall training base.

The protagonist who gets out of the car simply says hello to the reporters and walks into Millwall's training base.

They are FIFA people.

But the leader of the team was Beckenbauer.

For the moment when Millwall withdrew from the European competition and took practical action, on the cusp, Millwall and UEFA were completely opposed. FIFA sent a team to coordinate the matter. It is hoped that this matter can be resolved properly. If it continues, it will not be good for anyone.

Aldrich personally greeted Beckenbauer outside the building, and the two then walked into Aldrich's office together.

For the UEFA election a year and a half ago, Johansson failed to hold the European base camp, although Beckenbauer was "promoted", but in fact was shelved, for this situation, Beckenbauer felt embarrassed. Maybe it's a little ashamed.

Aldrich, however, did not dwell on the fact that the dust had settled on the history was meaningless.

He greeted Beckenbauer warmly, and opened a bottle of good wine in the office, the meeting was not as formal as imagined, although other FIFA officials wanted to participate, but Beckenbauer was directly cold outside the door, Bei Huang still has this bit of majesty, let them wait outside, and no one dared to protest.

Beckenbauer was originally working at FIFA and was a bit disheartened. But at this time, I saw a turnaround!

Blatter had recently co-opted him and offered him some empty checks to reconcile the "civil strife" on the European side. Beckenbauer knew what was happening in Europe, and Blatter was on the edge of his seat.

Because Platini is losing control of the situation.

So Beckenbauer's trip was a violation of the law, just sat down in Aldrich's office, touched the wine glass with Aldridge and took a sip, and then handed over the FIFA and UEFA hole cards.

"They intend to give the G14 some benefits in exchange for concessions from the G14, and once the G14 moves, Millwall's situation may be completely isolated."

As expected.

Aldrich had this realization.

Especially since it is now the summer of 2007, and half a year after the original history, the G14 will announce its dissolution.

Platini's method of adding sweet dates, coupled with the fact that there is also a split within the G14, the G14 is much weaker than before, and there is no need to continue to survive as a vampire with a civilian team.

Now is a critical fork in the road.

Will the G14 compromise with FIFA and UEFA and accept the olive branch they have offered, or will there be other options to gain more benefits?

Aldrich touched his chin and asked, "What is it?" ”

"Last year's big lawsuit, uh, is the financial compensation for the club when the player was injured in an international match, and FIFA and UEFA are willing to sign an agreement with the G14 to protect the club's interest in the injury caused by the player's call-up by the national team. The initial budget for this agreement should be in the hundreds of millions of euros. ”

Aldridge nodded, last year G14 supported Lyon to fight a lawsuit with FIFA, but unfortunately in the end, because there was really no specific legal clause to support the victory, FIFA said no with a cold face, and the refusal was the conclusion, and there was no follow-up development.

But if FIFA and UEFA now express their willingness to talk to the G14 about this issue, it will be a gesture of goodwill and a new benefit to the G14 that they did not have before, even if that is what the G14 deserves.

This could lead the G14 to compromise and concede to the terms put forward by FIFA and UEFA.

After all, under the current system, it is better to have more interests to protect than nothing.

Aldridge was silent for a while, he was not happy to play this kind of game with UEFA or FIFA, it was too utilitarian and too explicit, and football had become a political tool from a commodity.

Beckenbauer suddenly asked, "What are your plans?" I'm here to hear about your plans. ”

Aldridge saw Beckenbauer's eyes burning, and there was a clear hint of excitement.

It seems that Emperor Pei is not willing to be lonely, and wants to take a trip to this troubled water, anyway, he is really sleepy and shallow in FIFA now, maybe he will make a fuss, can there be a turnaround?

The corners of Aldridge's mouth hooked up a playful smile, clinked glasses with Bei Huang again, leaned in front of him and whispered: "You help me get the absolute support of the German club, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, these three G14 members, I will send you back to Europe and become the president of UEFA!" ”

Beckenbauer's eyes widened suddenly, and the heat instantly turned sharp.

On this day, Aldrich and Beckenbauer had a secret conversation for three hours, and at the end of the day, the two stood up and shook hands officially! (To be continued......)
