The World Cup is in full swing, Aldridge can't watch every game, he will only watch a few games selectively, and even the England team's games, he is not always there.

Towards the end of the group stage, Aldrich took his daughter Bonnie to the world-famous Ruhr industrial area to visit Dortmund.

Because there will be a World Cup game here, the paparazzi are naturally indispensable, so Aldridge made a disguise in order to avoid being recognized, and under the surprised gaze of his daughter Bonnie, Aldridge glued a beard, put on sunglasses, and changed into a trendy T-shirt and shorts, which makes people unable to associate with the young marshal in a suit and leather shoes who usually appear in the camera.

Bonnie clamored for makeup, Aldrich put a small baseball cap on her, applied two red and white makeup coats to her face, and then the father and daughter began to swim in Dortmund without hesitating the eyes of others.

Racing in the streets, Aldrich let her ride on her head, Bonnie held a snack in her hand, fed Aldrich a bite from time to time, and when she saw something interesting in the landscape, she instructed Aldrich to approach and take a look.

Before coming to Germany, Aldridge glanced at the intelligence update of the club's scouting network and found that there was a new star seedling in Germany that could be brought to Millwall.

Well, it's to take it, not to dig it.

After Dortmund kept asking enthusiastic passers-by, Aldrich and his daughter came to the family's door.

He knocked on the door, waited for a while, and someone opened the door, it was a middle-aged man, and there was a young woman standing next to him. They should be a father-daughter relationship. The middle-aged man asked curiously, "Hello." Who are you looking for? ”

Aldrich took Bonnie's hand and smiled: "Hello, I'm Aldridge Hall from England, excuse me, is this Royce's house?" ”

"Aldrich Hall?"

"Aldrich Hall!"

"Liar! Are you fools when we are? ”

The middle-aged man just asked questions, but the daughter beside him raised her voice, her eyes swirled suspiciously on Aldrich's face, and she immediately insisted that Aldrich was a liar.

Then. Another young woman walked up to the door and asked curiously, "Aldrich Hall?" Is it the knight of England? ”

"Really?"

Finally, Royce appeared, and Royce, who seemed to be weak with thin arms and legs, leaned out between the two sisters and looked at Aldridge and his daughter suspiciously.

Aldrich took off his glasses in front of them, tore off his disguised beard, rubbed his face, lowered his hands, and smiled at them.

The family was in addition to Royce's mother, his father, and two older sisters. Including Royce himself, his mouth grew in disbelief.

This trick becomes. It's a bit unexpected!

"It's Sir Hall!"

Royce shouted, and his father reacted and quickly got out of the way and invited Aldrich into the house.

Aldridge asked Bonnie to greet them, and Bonnie politely greeted the family, explaining to them why she was dressed up before sitting down in the living room.

As soon as he sat down, Royce's father couldn't wait to ask, "Sir Hall, you came to the door personally, did Millwall want to sign my son Marko?" ”

Aldridge looked at Reus, who was a little restless at the moment, nodded slightly and said: "We have been following Marko for a long time, and recently we followed his cousin and found that he was abandoned in the Borussia Dortmund B team, uh, the U17 team, and I guess he is not developing well in the Dortmund youth system, so I think at this time, Marco will need a new option, and Millwall is willing to become his second home." ”

Royce lowered his head, and the excitement of the first sight of Aldrich had passed, and his face turned gloomy.

Borussia Dortmund's Under-17s won the league title last season, but he was dropped by the Under-17 boss because he was too thin.

He asked softly, "Sir Hall, I have a lot of teammates who are very good, why don't you go to them?" ”

Although Royce is a little disappointed, he is still optimistic, so he can't wait to grab on to the life-saving straw in front of the drowning man.

Just as his childhood dream was to travel the world as a pilot, Dortmund did not go well, it was nothing more than a change of place.

Aldridge smiled: "Yes, some of your teammates seem to be better than you, such as Mario Gotze, however, Millwall can't sign him, he is a key player for Dortmund, but you are not, Millwall can sign you, here I want to explain that Millwall signing a player will be well thought out, especially for foreign players, if possible, we are willing to sign Gotze, but there are many obstacles between us and Gotze, but between Millwall and you, there is no obstacle, There won't even be transfers between clubs, because your contract expires in the summer, you are free, you have no belonging, you can come to England to develop, and in my opinion, this is a valuable asset that Millwall has picked up, come to Millwall, you have talent, what you lack is only acquired training, what is Millwall's youth system like, I think, if you are interested, you can take a look for yourself, we welcome you at any time, as long as you are willing to come, make a call, We will book a round-trip flight and hotel for your family, we will cover all the costs, and Millwall will not give up a player lightly, at least, because you can improve the day after tomorrow, such as you are not strong enough, this can be improved, as long as you work hard, you can succeed. ”

Royce stared at Aldrich in a daze, and his words were so light that he listened as if he were fascinated.

The two elder sisters seemed reluctant to let their brother go abroad, so someone said, "Marco doesn't like cold and damp environments, he likes sunny and warm places." ”

Aldridge smiled disapprerovingly, not wanting to quarrel with the young man, but said lightly: "What we are talking about is not the world where 99% of the people on this planet live, but the football field, the green world, Millwall is in London, London belongs to the United Kingdom, what does this mean, Marco should be able to understand that in the past, there were indeed stars who left London because of the weather and environment, and went to a place where life is comfortable all year round, and then what?" In the green world, they actually went from a sunny place to a place of extreme cold. Marco, Millwall's doors are open to you, if you wish to come, you can call me at any time, here is my business card. I'm sorry to bother, goodbye. ”

At this point, Aldrich personally came to the door with great sincerity, he would not spit on anything more, chose to be in Reuss own hands, he did not drink a sip of water, said goodbye to the Reuss family with a smile with his daughter Bonnie, and played in Dortmund for a while before going to Berlin to meet Evan.

After the World Cup in Germany, Reus went to England alone to join Millwall's youth team

July 1 at the World Cup stadium in Gelsenkirchen in northern Ruhr area.

Aldridge sat in the guest box of Sky Sports commentators, and joined Andy Gray and Martin Taylor to explain the 1/4 final match between England and Portugal.

"England look like they're stumbling at this World Cup, they're not as fluid as they used to be, Sir Hall, what do you think is wrong with England? We don't look like we have the advantage against Portugal today and we are the defending champions! ”

Aldrich served as a guest commentator, so he didn't have too many fears, and he had something to say.

'England have lost their balance on the pitch and we're back to the old 442, Redknapp has his considerations, understandably with Joe Cole on the left and David on the right, and the impact on the flanks should be able to create a decent threat, but in midfield, I think it's hard for Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard to strike a balance, and if you remove a striker and put him on top of either of them, it might make things better, just like Rafael Benitez started using Gerrard as a shadow striker at Liverpool. Frank Lampard's sense of profundity is his strength, and it cannot be said which of the two players is right and who is wrong, who is good and who is bad, the key is the coach's use of strategy, the formation of the lineup, how to maximize the strengths of the players, and avoid weaknesses being exploited by the opponent, while enriching the attack. ”

In the 62nd minute of the game, there was a shocking change on the field.

Rooney stepped on Carvalho's groin, Ronaldo immediately stepped forward to put pressure on the referee, Rooney pushed Ronaldo in anger, and was immediately shown a red card by the referee!

In the commentary box, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor looked at Aldridge together, and the fans from England had already begun to boo Ronaldo.

Aldrich let out a long breath and shook his head: "It's so uncool! It's so reckless! He didn't get into the rhythm of the World Cup at all! Maybe he should have listened to Sir Alex Ferguson's advice and not come to the World Cup with an injury, and he should have stayed in England and trampled on his opponent as a member of the defending champions, that action could have been completely avoided! And then he pushed the opponent, red card, no dispute! ”

"Sir Hall, do you think Rooney's red card is self-inflicted?"

Aldridge stretched out his hand, signaled the direction of the field, and said as a matter of course: "Shouldn't it be a red card?" Is such a stampede allowed on the pitch? What's wrong with Ronaldo? He's wearing a Portugal shirt and his team-mates are being trampled on, shouldn't he step up to get justice for his team-mates and put pressure on the referee, which is not there in England, in Europe, on pitches around the world? Isn't that normal? ”

At the first moment, Aldridge expressed his position, resolutely defending Ronaldo and mercilessly criticizing Rooney's appearance.

Yes, Rooney is very bad, he is like a hot-tempered bull, rampage on the field, the anxiety in his heart is written on his face, everyone knows it, how can he play a good game like this? How can you carry the banner of England?

But Fleet Street may not see it that way, and neither will England fans.

At this time, Ronaldo, who was booed by England fans in the stadium, looked stubborn, as if he wanted to be the enemy of all England fans. (To be continued......)
