Bale has actually been on the watch list of Millwall's scouting network.

It's just that that the list is very similar to the FA's list of active players, especially the young players.

He is not yet 16 years old, Millwall naturally will not list him as a very important target, to put it bluntly, he has not even signed a professional contract, no matter how much attention is paid to him, he is very limited, let alone rated, unlike Alves, Pepe, Neuer, who have at least entered the professional team, more than half of the professional or professional, and even the top game table Xiàn is as easy for people to locate and evaluate, for example, if Millwall's senior management gives a scouting task, then the scouts sent out must be confused, he doesn't know how to inspect BaleOr do you secretly pay attention to what Bell does, and what do you use as an evaluation criterion? Training? That's just amateurish.

Now training in football at a satellite academy in Southampton, Bale has reached a fork in the road where his first professional contract is imminent.

He had the power to choose not to sign with Southampton, but that would be too ungrateful.

This time he came to Millwall to play in the youth team, and Bale also planned to come here to recommend himself and have a tryout.

Despite the fact that he is Welsh, football is in England and England is the boss without any controversy.

Millwall's academy base, known as the cradle of superstars, is a holy place in the hearts of many, many young people who dream of becoming famous with one goal!

Young players who haven't experienced the brutality of the professional league can't appreciate the hardships involved, but are optimistic that they can get ahead at Millwall. Then the player value. The horizontal positioning is very clear!

You can play in the first team at Millwall. I don't dare to say that I am absolutely in the top 10 in the world, but at least the top 100 is no problem, which also distinguishes players in different positions, that is to say, among the forwards, it does not matter how many Henry ranks in the world, but at least the top five must be guaranteed, like Kaka. De Rossi, Alonso, in fact, also jumped up in the rankings in the competition for players in the same position, and after this season, the top five dare not say, the top ten must be fine.

In other words, success at Millwall, is one step to the top, and if you go to Bayer Leverkusen, Valencia. Liverpool and so on, even if it's the boss of the team. Absolute core, but in the competition for the same position, it may not even be able to squeeze into the top ten in the world.

Aldridge didn't know why Bert hadn't come out for a long time today, so he took Bale on a tour of the football academy.

Along the way, Bale seemed absent-minded, with some gains and losses in his heart, and he wanted to come to Millwall for a tryout, but he was afraid of failure, but he felt that if he succeeded, there would be new problems.

That is, if he turned his back on Southampton, he would feel a little guilty.

Aldrich observed his words, and he asked Bell bluntly, "What is on your mind?" ”

The two of them were back at the door of the academy at this point, and he said to Aldrich before parting: "I want to come to Millwall for a tryout, but I don't know whether I want to succeed or fail, if I succeed, I will have to leave the satellite academy in Southampton, but I have been there for a long time, and if I fail, I think I will be sad for a long time." ”

Aldrich smiled when he heard this, rubbed his head, and said, "Your thoughts are normal, and I appreciate it. In this way, you go back to Southampton to sign first, and then come to Millwall for a trial, which is also an extra layer of security for you. ”

Bell stood there and thought for a long time before he understood what Aldrich meant.

Letting him go back and sign with Southampton is a natural result of the club's youth system.

After signing the contract, he came to Millwall for a trial and, if not successful, he was still a Southampton player.

If it succeeds, then Millwall will have to negotiate with Southampton if they want him.

That way, at least he doesn't have to be caught in the middle, and secondly, it doesn't cause controversy between clubs.

Bell sat on the return bus with emotion, at least for the first time with Aldrich, who he thought was a very carefree man, uninhibited and unobtrusive.

In fact, Millwall has disdained to do the kind of thing that "uses loopholes in the rules to poach people".

If the image of the club is not good and it causes controversy, annoying things will come one after another.

Absolute superstars dare not say that they will definitely be able to buy it.

But when it comes to talented players, they don't use extra-rule means

Many of the other children in the soccer school had come out to go home with their parents, and when it was almost dark, Aldrich had not waited for Bert to come out, he had just taken out his phone and wanted to call the director of the soccer academy, but he saw Jones, one of the coaches in charge of teaching Bert, coming with Bert.

Aldrich's heart suddenly tightened, because he saw that Bert was dirty, carrying a schoolbag in his hand, with a bruise on his face, and blood on the corner of his mouth, as if he had wiped a nosebleed with the back of his hand.

Bert looked calm and looked in a bad mood.

Yes, if he is angry, he is silent to the point of madness, and rarely explodes into catharsis, unlike other children, who either cry heartbreakingly or go crazy and fool around.

It looks like it's obvious that it's a fight!

Bert didn't say hello to Aldrich when he came over, and walked straight to the parking lot and waited next to Aldrich's car.

Jones came to Aldridge's side and sighed: "There was an accident in the training match, the children are too concerned about winning and losing, Bert's foul action was a little big, which caused a conflict, and they punched each other twice, it should not be strict, we wanted to take Bert to the medical department to see, but he didn't want to." ”

Aldrich nodded, patted Jones's arm, and said with a smile: "Children fight, it's common, I'll go first, bye." ”

After saying goodbye to Jones, Aldridge returned to the parking lot and sat in the car with Bert, and Aldrich drove away without saying a word.

Halfway home, Aldrich turned his head to look at Bert, who was in a daze, and asked, "Who won the fight?" ”

"I, he cried."

Bert subconsciously answered Aldrich's question.

"Then why aren't you happy?"

Aldrich rarely criticizes his children, and when he encounters problems, he always tries to "convince others" by all means, perhaps because of his way of education, so his two sons will sometimes get into trouble, but they will not be unrepentant.

Bert rubbed his face with both hands, probably touching the wound of a punch, and hissed in pain at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Because, I think, I see, in fact, lost." ”

"Huh? Why? You beat him, he cried, shouldn't you be the winner? ”

Bert lowered his head with a tangled expression and said in a low voice: "It's true that I fouled too much and kicked his leg, I didn't do it first, and then, I also beat him to tears, I, I'm like a bad guy." ”

Aldrich raised an eyebrow, smiled silently, and said, "If you go and apologize to him tomorrow, maybe you're not too bad, aren't you?" ”

Bert looked up at Aldrich with a look of embarrassment.

Children also have self-esteem, admitting this kind of thing, there is not much psychological burden to the elders, but admitting mistakes to the little ones, a little unable to pull the face.

"What, you're scared?"

Aldrich teased.

"What do I have to fear?"

"And what about your courage? Isn't it right to have the courage to admit your mistakes? ”

"I'll try my best."

Driving home, Aldridge discovers that Earl is not at home, and Evan says that Melanie took Earl to shoot a new children's commercial, and asked Earl to take Earl on a trip outside.

Aldridge's head suddenly felt big.

Earl was restless in school and was a bad student, because he always tried to skip school, and now Melanie can help him take time off and not go to school, no matter what he does, Earl will definitely agree.

Bert went upstairs to his room after dinner, Aldrich sat on the carpet in the living room, bent his cheeks and watched his little daughter Bonnie play with an electronic piano, the little girl with her fingers to play the piano, and then listen to the melody, Aldrich just watched and did not disturb her, but looking at it, he found that Bonnie showed an unhappy expression, and finally pushed the electronic keyboard away, walked to Aldrich, raised his head and said to him: "This is not good, I want a big piano." ”

Aldrich was confused, hugged her gently, and asked, "What a big piano, Dad can't understand." ”

Bonnie stretched out her arms and drew a circle, saying, "It's a big, big piano." ”

At this time, Evan came from behind, also sat next to Aldrich, snuggled up to him and smiled: "Take her to Annie's house to play in the afternoon, Annie's daughter is four years old, and she has to practice playing the piano at home every day, Bonnie, as if she was fascinated, played in front of the piano for an afternoon, and on the way back, she clamored for a piano, I tried to buy her an electronic piano, just as a toy, I didn't expect it, she was not satisfied." ”

Aldrich understood, it turned out to be a piano.

No wonder Bonnie became more and more unhappy when she pressed the electronic piano to listen to the melody just now, the sound of the piano is clear and pleasant, and it is naturally easier to love.

Aldrich, who was holding Bonnie, said casually, "Then buy her a piano." ”

"Huh? Shouldn't you force her to practice every day in the future and torture her? ”

"No, it's just a toy, she likes it, she doesn't like it, put it there as an ornament, I think, it might also make the decoration of the home more elegant." And, maybe what if she's a talented girl? ”

After saying goodbye to Evan, Aldrich picked up Bonnie, kissed her on the cheek, and smiled, "Yes, little Mozart." ”

Bonnie asked innocently, "Who is Mozart?" ”

Aldrich and Evan looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued......)
