There is no doubt that in 2006, the world's No. 1 goalkeeper was Buffon, Casillas, Kahn, Reina, Van der Sar, and could not be compared with Buffon in terms of goalkeeper overall scores.

Millwall have always been fierce in the transfer market, which is very much in line with Aldridge's style.

In just half a day, they smashed open the door to Juventus for talks with Gianluigi Buffon.

Until then, Buffon was in no hurry to meet with Millwall's representatives, who met with his agent, Martina, at home.

"Really? The people of Millwall came to Turin hoping to buy me? ”

Buffon asked his agent in an uncertain tone.

Martina nodded excitedly, and said in a deep voice: "It's true, Juventus has agreed, the transfer price of 35 million euros, which is already a lot higher than their psychological price, AC Milan only needs to pay about 25 million euros they will agree, but they need Abbiati, who was on loan last season, to stay in Turin and replace you, but now, with 35 million euros, they can find a goalkeeper again, and there is no need to make a troublesome deal with AC Milan." ”

"Really?"

Buffon bowed his head and muttered.

He is actually ready to transfer, the deal between Juventus and AC Milan, the "holy league", seems to be a matter of course, Abbiati, who was loaned from AC Milan last season, is the candidate to play the main goalkeeper on behalf of the team because of his absence due to injury, the league and the Champions League, he only made 22 appearances last season.

"Is the news real? Millwall's boss is also here? ”

Buffon looked a little excited when he understood how the club had changed his transfer operations.

Millwall!

The last 9 seasons. Seven Champions League winners!

Martina said happily: "Of course it's true! He's going to come here. It shows that he values you very much! Rest assured. One qiē is true! The best goalkeeper in the world, the best manager in the world, the best club in the world, it's simply the most wonderful combination! ”

Buffon grinned silently, then frowned again, and said: "But I heard David talk about this manager, he said that Aldridge Hall is very good to the players, he shouldn't let me play on the bench, right?" Pagliuca has just retired. Millwall goalkeeper is short of man. ”

Martina waved his hand, almost wanting to dance on the spot, and he smiled and said, "Don't be stupid! Aldrich Hall isn't a fool either, who are you? Buffon! Who is the World Champion goalkeeper and Millwall's main goalkeeper? Bout! He's the third goalkeeper for Germany, who finished third in the World Cup, and bought you back to play as a substitute for Bout? How can it be? Millwall are notoriously budget-conscious in the transfer market, spending €35 million on a replacement? I'd rather believe that the world will be ruined tomorrow! Get ready, you're going to wear Millwall's shirt and travel from Italy to London with Aldridge Hall, it's going to be a great transfer. Just like Aldrich Hall personally brought Nesta from Italy to England four years ago! ”

Buffon looked down and smiled, saying that it was fake not to be excited.

Especially in this "phonegate" incident. He was also charged, but it had nothing to do with manipulating the game, but betting on the game, and it is impossible to know whether he bet on his own team to affect the result.

Buffon smiled and didn't speak, but his agent was excited, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.

"World Cup champion goalkeeper, world number one goalkeeper, that's not enough, you'll be the favorite for the annual Ballon d'Or! Look, Cannavaro is smart, he rushed directly into the arms of Real Madrid, if you stay at Juventus, you will fall behind him in the competition, oh my God, it's unimaginable, the Italian second division, that will make you completely disappear from the public's view, go to Millwall, that will make you more dazzling, more dazzling! Do you know what would happen if Mill Volken had built momentum for you? You will become the second goalkeeper after Yashin to win the Ballon d'Or! It's great! Yes, I'll have to put that in my negotiations with Millwall, and get their commitment to give you their full support to go for the Ballon d'Or! ”

Buffon's eyes widened with a shocked expression.

Indeed, after Italy won the World Cup, there were voices in the media that began to talk about Italian players winning the Ballon d'Or.

However, Italy's defense is the key, so the eyes of the outside world are focused on Gianluigi Buffon and Cannavaro.

Originally, if Nesta had not missed the knockout round due to injury, if he could win the championship as the main player of the whole process with the team, with the prestige accumulated in Millwall over the years, the 30-year-old Nesta would definitely have a better chance of winning the Ballon d'Or than Cannavaro and Buffon, and would open a significant gap.

But Nesta was injured and didn't play in the knockout round, Materazzi was very good, but he was topped by Zidane, but Materazzi became a villain, suspecting that he had insulting words to provoke Zidane, which made Materazzi an enemy of many fans and the media, after all, the media also has a position, such as the French media!

Cannavaro went to Real Madrid, and when Juventus fell during this period, the attention he received at Real Madrid would not be affected, and even improved compared to Serie A, which would have earned a lot of impression points in the Ballon d'Or selection.

Buffon hadn't thought of this, but his agent did!

This strengthened his determination to go to Millwall!

Aldridge was involved in the club's negotiation team's talks with Gianluigi Buffon.

Both sides were enthusiastic, and after getting to the point, Buffon's agent made three demands.

The first is the guarantee of the main position.

If Millwall doesn't give him a place in the main team, Buffon will certainly not move.

Aldridge made a commitment to his face, openly telling Buffon that he would be Millwall's first-choice goalkeeper.

Although Buffon was curious about how Aldridge persuaded Boot to be willing to play as a substitute, he was relieved that Aldridge had promised in person.

As an outsider, it is impossible to understand the situation in Millwall.

Playing at a high level for many years in a row can cause mental fatigue to the players, and secondly, after many seasons in a row, the players' motivation will also decline, and they will inevitably take a break or simply stop.

So Aldridge is always providing fresh blood to the team and speeding up the metabolism.

The second point is the contractual treatment.

Millwall is also generous in this regard.

The goalkeeper they want to buy is the world's No. 1 in strength, in peak condition, and at the age of playing, and the treatment gives Buffon the highest level in the world in the goalkeeper field, which is not an insult to his name, but also a manifestation of Millwall's sincerity.

The third point is to hope that Millwall will support Buffon in his bid for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year.

Aldrich didn't say yes.

He thought about it.

With Millwall's dominance in Europe, many players in the team are the favourites for the Ballon d'Or, and for many years in a row.

However, last season, Henry's watch has declined, and there are not many stunning and beautiful watches in the World Cup, and they lost directly to Italy.

Xiao Luo is even worse, the "chaos" of the Brazilian watch is much lower than the outside world's expectations, and besides, the difficulty of winning the Ballon d'Or for the third consecutive year is too great, and the judges may be tired of always choosing among those names.

Nesta is the perfect time to miss!

The slightly soy sauce role of the World Cup means that he is unlikely to be a favorite at all.

As for the other players, they either lack prestige or have just been recognized as superstars, but it also coincides with the World Cup year, and the national team table is not impressive.

But Aldridge still had a thought in his mind: maybe Ronaldo has a chance!

Yes, the Ballon d'Or is not based on the season table xiàn, but on the annual table xiàn.

Ronaldo's performance in the first half of last season was average, but after he was woken up by Aldridge's words, he finally ushered in the outbreak of accumulation in the second half of the season, especially in the Champions League final, and finally scored twice, and finally became a classic, in the World Cup, Portugal got the best ranking in 40 years, although it was fourth, but Ronaldo also contributed a lot.

The only negative factor is: in terms of media campaigning, Fleet Street will definitely not support Ronaldo!

It has been more than half a month since the end of the World Cup, and there are still Fleet Street media who denounce Ronaldo, and some fans who hate Millwall also took the opportunity to make trouble, besieged Ronaldo's home in London, insulted and threatened Ronaldo.

The feud at the World Cup will take time to fade, but Aldridge doesn't know how long it will be.

One month? Two months?

If it were a year, it would be too difficult for Ronaldo to win the Ballon d'Or this year, so big that he would have to fight back to the world with the stadium table when almost everyone was targeting him as an absolute powerhouse! Shut everyone up and eclipse the players of the same era!

Aldridge certainly has an emotional tilt towards his own disciples, and Buffon is not yet his player, so at this point, he can't promise anything.

So Millwall can only use diplomatic rhetoric to deal with Buffon's side, which roughly means that Millwall's players win the Ballon d'Or, although the club will do public relations work, but will not focus on a certain player, in the past few years, Millwall players won the Ballon d'Or, and three teammates are ranked one, two or three, if Millwall officials can't keep their players as fair as possible, this will make the players dissatisfied, which is very detrimental to the team's internal unity.

In the end, after a short period of negotiations, Buffon's side also made concessions, after all, they put forward three conditions, the first two of Millwall agreed very happily, and the last one was not a refusal.

In itself, Buffon's joining Millwall is a good momentum for Buffon to compete for the Golden Globe!

Staying at Juventus and being relegated to the second division, in the next six months, how many people will pay attention to Buffon's competitive table?

Oh, and only on a national team break day is reminiscent of him. (To be continued......)
