Chapter 1213： Postscript: My destination

My name is Aldrich Hall.

At the age of 18, I started coaching the penniless Millwall in England.

At the age of 38, I left Millwall.

Before I came, Millwall was notoriously worthless.

After I left, Millwall became famous all over the world. The name of the mad lion was like a totem. It was deeply imprinted on the ground of European football. The mad lion prestige enveloped the green world!

No one knows where I came from, so no one will understand my final destination.

After I left Millwall, my disciple Jimmy Brown succeeded me as coach and brought 11 championship trophies to the team in the 6 years of coaching. After Jimmy Brown left, Millwall’s new coach, Then it became my youngest son, Earl Hall.

There are two women in my life.

The first is a beautiful encounter, and the second is the waiting of life.

In the end, the woman who stayed with me walked with me to the age of 62, and will continue to walk without complaint or regret.

I have two sons.

The eldest son's name is Bert Hall.

When I left England, he was 15 years old. He was already the captain of the Millwall youth team. He was very persistent in football. He was a strong guy. From his birth until he was 39 years old, there was only one thing that angered me: He made a girl pregnant at the age of 14. I couldn't cruelly let the girl go to an abortion. She came from a very ordinary family. So, when my son was not yet an adult, I became a grandpa.

For many years, Burt blamed me for taking Ivan and Bonnie away from England. He thought it was the mistakes he made that led to my departure. He understood this as: his father wanted him to grow up on his own, Because he is responsible to women and to his children, he must mature quickly and become a real man!

From time to time, the outside world will make a fuss about this matter, as if Burt has become a stain on Sir Hall's life, but Burt has not shaken at all, he even worked harder and focused on his career, and finally, when he was 17 years old, he was able to He made his debut in the first team of Millwall. At the age of 20, he became the captain of the mad lion. At the Lion King Stadium, he was called the prince of the mad lion. At the age of 22, he became the England national team. The captain of the legion, and he has been playing until now, even if he is almost forty years old, because of his focus on his career, from the day he had his family at the age of 15, he has no alcohol and tobacco, and strictly controls his diet and body. Maintenance, no off-site gossip, no commercials, no interviews, football, family, all of his life, so he is 39 years old and can also participate in the World Cup with the national team, and this station will be his career The end.

The youngest son who gave me the headache was Earl Hall, but he rarely matured quickly as an adult. He seemed to have a deep grudge against me because I left England and left his heart. The place.

I thought he would become a star, or a kind-hearted rich child, who would go through this life indifferently.

But after he was 16 years old, he took over my study. Father Arthur told me that Earl had ruined my work notes accumulated over 20 years, and finally asked someone to record the pen in the computer and browse it at any time. The greatest wealth in life.

At the age of 18, Earl went to the Netherlands. He spent three years proving his coaching skills in Dutch football. Then, he returned to England. Jimmy Brown took the initiative to resign without everyone understanding because He did a good job, but I can understand more or less. Probably, Jimmy is paying back. He took the initiative to give the coach position to Earl.

Lion King Stadium, not only has the mad lion prince, but also the new king of the mad lion, the fans affectionately call Earl Hall II. At least, everyone said that the handsome Earl is most like the heroic young Handsome".

The brothers worked hard to make the money, and Burt and Earl propped up the spine of the fifth and sixth generations of the mad lion. They did not insult the reputation of the mad lion, and they always put Millwall in the position of the first giant in Europe.

However, Earl issued a retirement declaration at the age of thirty-nine.

People say that it may be that Burt, who is less than an hour older than him, is going to retire from the player status, and Earl, the younger brother, will leave with his brother.

It is also said that Earl is imitating his father with countless honors, but retired before the age of 40!

In particular, he is tying up certain records belonging to his father. He wants to completely surpass his father. No one thinks he can, but in some honors, it is still possible.

For example, he led the England national team to the European Cup two years ago. Now, he is playing in the World Cup and has reached the semi-finals.

I also have a daughter.

A very, very cute, daring daughter of a dragon elf.

But when she grew up, she was not cute at all, not at all!

She accused me of being a prodigal, accusing me of only spending money but not knowing how to make money!

I will also accuse her!

Ask her why she didn't find a good man to marry?

Why is there a group of beautiful women who are better than others at every day?

She will always refute me with "gay does not break the law", if I count her down again, she will threaten me by prosecuting me!

In order to prevent me from squandering huge amounts of wealth, she took the initiative to make money, learned to excel, and went to the United States for internships. With the help of Bowen Hall, the second-generation head, Bonnie Hall turned from a talented woman into a strong woman. She controls all my wealth. If I want to spend money, I must pass her consent. So, My family life has become weird. I am not afraid of my wife, but I have to be managed by my daughter everywhere...

The good news is that I am not bankrupt. When I left England, I had a fortune of about £7 billion. After more than two decades, my daughter would proudly tell me that our family now has more than £20 billion!

Although I don’t think it would make me laugh even if I put 20 billion pounds into real gold and silver in front of me, but every time Bonnie proudly told me these things, I saw her smug expression, and I I feel very happy.

I?

Many people ask me why?

Yes, I have left England for more than 20 years, but there will still be fans writing to me and asking me in a puzzled context: Why did you go to the desert from the oasis?

Yes, this has become a long-discussed mystery in world football.

Standing at the pinnacle of the green world, Sir Hall, after announcing his retirement, took his family to the country where the football world is regarded as a desolate desert: China.

Perhaps only Chinese fans deceived themselves into thinking that Sir Hall, who is particularly slippery in Chinese, has a natural affection for China.

Born?

Maybe it was born.

But please?

I don’t think so, because from the perspective of football alone, I have been bruised and injured by Chinese football, no matter how long it has passed, I still remember it.

At the age of 18, I would never have any interest in Chinese football. If I go to Chinese football to participate in football affairs, it would be better to kill me!

At the age of 28, I was not afraid of Chinese football. I just saw it as a very difficult challenge. But it was only occasional to think about it. The courage to put it into practice. To be honest, I did not.

At the age of 38, I didn’t think about any challenges, difficulties, honors and losses, I took my luggage, and brought my wife and daughter from England to China.

For Chinese football, they describe my arrival as "coming", but the **** between my soul and this land is actually "back".

Therefore, no one understood, and I did not make any explanation.

Whether it is back or coming, in short, I stood on the land of China and started to enter Chinese football.

For more than 20 years, I have started from charity football, established countless football schools in various parts of China, and through the resources I have accumulated in European football, I have invited many professional coaching teams. These football schools are all Using charity as a carrier, for those orphans, or poor children, or children with dreams of football who can’t go to professional but expensive football schools across China for training.

Everything I do, all my input, is to use my wealth, so this is charity, so my daughter can’t sit back and watch me squander all my wealth.

Starting from grassroots, and then building a football league in the east, west, south, and north of China, the main job is to establish the junior league and youth league, and then send talented and well-developed children to Europe for professional training through my recommendation, and My professional team keeps track of the situation.

My arrival, the charity I have made, and my contribution to the football industry have set off an unprecedented football frenzy in this football desert in China. A huge and gradually mature football industry chain was born in China and developed rapidly .

People pay more attention to football than before, and people are more willing to let their children play football. After spending ten years in China, I built football stadiums of various sizes, mostly for free. Leagues and Youth Leagues also have sponsors and have received social attention, and this simple football has an increasing influence.

Young geniuses began to emerge, idols were born, and a myth of fame began to take place.

Ten years ago, I entered the Chinese Football Association, served as the head of youth football development, and became an advisor to the Chinese national team.

Four years ago, I officially became the coach of the national team.

In the Asian Cup, I led the national team's second-tier echelon to win the championship thrillingly, which not only achieved the purpose of training, but also brought the championship trophy, which inspired the entire nation.

I regret it.

Yes, again.

Those who said that they would retire, but came back to coach again.

Because I found that Chinese football lacks confidence!

Even for more than 20 years, I have cultivated many talented players, but the national team's record has improved, but it is far from what I think it should be.

The problem is self-confidence!

So I came back to coach and will only work for four years. After all, I took office at 58 years old. By this year, I am already 62 years old. I hope to really retire and stop thinking about anything about football, like UEFA, AFC There are a lot of people who support me in running for the chairmanship, but I think it’s really a crime. I should leave my time with my family and stay with them. Deep down, I know that I owe them too much, Too many, they are waiting for me, supporting me to do whatever I want...

At the end of my story with football, I hope to use my own to inspire Chinese football so that they can face the world confidently!

So, I came here...

July 3, 2038.

Guangzhou, Tianhe Sports Center Stadium.

On the stadium stands a red sea, a voice resounded through the sky.

"Chinese team! Come on! Chinese team! Come on!"

That seems to be a cry made by a nation in unison!

On the court, the game has reached its final moment.

The scoreboard shows the warring parties and the score.

England: 0

Chinese team: 0

Time: 85:12

Although his hair had become gray, 62-year-old Aldridge was still energetic and looked like he was in his forties. He stood on the side of the court, just like his 18-year-old figure.

Not far from him, a handsome and gentle man also stood.

His son, 39-year-old Earl.

In the VIP box of the stadium, there are many famous football players, and many members of the Hall family.

They were watching this game together, but they didn't care much about the outcome.

Such as Nedved, Larson, Schneider, the three giants of Millwall management who are called by fans, the three of them and a group of old friends came here to watch the game and laughed when they interviewed: both the Chinese team and the England team Who can reach the final, Sir Hall will be happy, is it important to win or lose?

As the game time is getting shorter, the fans in the stands are also very nervous.

The narrator said dryly: "The World Cup is held for the first time in China. The local Chinese team is led by the world's top coach Sir Hall to the semi-finals. Now, we are facing England. Team! The last time the England team won the World Cup was in 2002, the coach at that time was now the coach of the Chinese team, Sir Hall! And today the coach of the England team, also the son of Sir Hall, was also named two years ago. Sir Earl Hall of the Jazz! It is worth mentioning that the main goalkeeper of the England national team, David Hall, is the grandson of the Chinese team coach Sir Hall, the father of David Hall, Burt ·Hall is now standing on the sidelines, it seems that he will come off the bench! There is a scene of father and son playing together in football, which does not make us strange, but the three generations playing together is still the stage of the World Cup semi-finals. This is crazy! Sir Hall is not only a coach legend, but even his descendants are all famous. The tiger father has no dogs. This is already a football family!"

Uh, the situation on the court made most Aldridge's former disciples smile when they saw it.

Aldridge, Earl, Burt, David.

Father and son, brothers, grandchildren... put together in the same game!

This is definitely a classic scene that can no longer be classic!

Burt was replaced on the court. At 39, he can still play in the World Cup, and is in the semi-finals. Although he debuted at the last moment, it is also awe-inspiring.

He is like a steel warrior, carrying the most indispensable fighting spirit in the blood of the mad lion.

However, he just came on the court, but inadvertently made a mistake in a positioning ball defense!

"Wow, wow! The Chinese team got a penalty! Our No. 10 Chu Yi took a direct free kick. The ball was blocked by the England defender in the penalty area, but the opponent's clearance was not clean and the response was not timely. ·Hol handball foul! This ball must be penalized and must be penalized, because if Bert Hall's hand does not block, our striker Liu Peng will have a chance to shoot! The referee is aware of this and gave us a penalty! Penalty! If this goal is scored, we are very likely to kill England, we will go to Beijing, go to the capital, go to the Bird's Nest to play the World Cup finals!"

The scene is completely boiling!

As if the whole nation is cheering!

Aldridge was relatively calm, and he deliberately pressed his hands to the players to keep them calm.

Earl didn't change his face on the sidelines. Bert, who gave the opponent a penalty by a handball foul on the court, was equally upset. He had seen any big waves and big waves. The game was not over. Everything was possible. How could there be time for frustration or be discouraged?

The audience, no, the countless Chinese people in the world are watching this game in different ways, the most crucial moment!

"Chu Yi stood in front of the penalty spot. The core of Arsenal's midfield is the iconic Chinese football player cultivated by Sir Hall. It can be said that 80% of the Chinese national team players I have sincerely expressed on different occasions: Sir Hall is like our father. Yes, some of them are orphans, some are not, but Sir Hall has put too much effort and help in their growth path in pursuit of football dreams They grow and guide them forward. Now, lead them and reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, one step away from the finals!"

Chu Yi's penalty kick carries the dreams of countless Chinese.

However, perhaps the pressure is too great, even if he is playing in the European giants, his ability to withstand pressure is definitely beyond everyone's imagination, but at this moment, he missed!

The penalty angle he made was there, but it was obviously weak!

England's goalkeeper, David Hall did not move in advance, and waited for the opponent to make a penalty before making a save. This ball, he moved steadily after a step and saved the ball, holding the ball directly in his arms!

boom!

As if the entire stadium was silent for a moment, everyone's heads roared and the world was spinning.

The Chinese team missed a good opportunity for lore!

The game is not over yet!

David Hall stood up and immediately launched a fast break!

He threw the ball directly to his father, Bert Hall.

Burt stood calmly outside the penalty area. After Chu Yi's run, he was ready to rush into the penalty area to defend. It can be seen that the penalty kick was hugged by the goalkeeper. He immediately turned around and ran forward. It was difficult to imagine, 39 years old Man, running at this moment is as fast as a cheetah!

The goalkeeper's hand throws the ball in front of him, so he doesn't need to stop and stop the ball, move forward, keep moving forward, chasing the humble but extremely important for too many people in the world football!

The tight defense of the Chinese team exposed a huge flaw at this moment. Perhaps the mental blow was too heavy, and even the defensive movements were rigid at this time.

After driving the ball through the half, Burt only made a two-on-one cooperation with the teammates who followed the wing. After he passed the ball, he directly indicated to the opponent to pass the ball in front of him!

Then he went to the meeting alone!

In the end, the ball was safely pushed into the lower left corner of the goal!

After scoring a goal, he turned to look at the sidelines, not to see his brother, but his father!

He has been proving himself and has been expecting his father’s recognition and forgiveness, although he no longer thinks that David’s birth was a mistake, but he has a guilt deep in his heart, as if he has let his father down.

Instead of going to the stadium, Aldridge turned around, facing the stands, cheering on the fans, and began to shout a word.

This sentence, from here, passed from his mouth, gradually, Tianhe Sports Center Stadium, constantly repeating this sentence, Guangzhou, South, China, the world, as long as there are Chinese people, Chinese people watching this game, Shouted in unison.

"Chinese team, come on!"

In the audience, and even as if cheering from all over the world, the Chinese team quickly picked up their spirits and immediately set up their formation. Although there were less than 2 minutes of injury time remaining in the game, they were like beasts and burst out. A more powerful fighting spirit!

At the same time, Earl continued to make substitutions on the sidelines to strengthen the defense.

Aldridge's mentality was relaxed, and even a slight smile in his lips.

The outcome is really not important.

The important thing is the spirit of being undead!

Never give up fighting spirit!

Firm belief!

In the case of England's final defense, the Chinese team drank 0:1 and hated the semi-finals.

At the end of the game, Chu Yi, who lost a penalty, burst into tears.

Aldridge walked into the field for the first time and hugged him, wiped away his tears, and then raised his head!

The fans quickly applauded the scene, no one blamed Chu Yi, no one, not even his lore in the quarter-finals, there will be no feat of the Chinese team to the semifinals.

Seeing fans on the spot continue to encourage players and expect them to perform well in the third place, Aldridge smiled comfortably.

He went to the England national team. Today, regardless of the players or coaches of the England team, they will still be respected when they see him.

Aldridge didn't say anything, walked over and hugged David Hall first, praising him for his calm performance of saving a penalty.

Perhaps there is still a threshold in Burt's mind, but in fact, Aldridge has a good relationship with his grandson David Hall. The reason why he was furious with Burt was because he was too hasty with Burt. It is unfair and irresponsible to let a minor girl become pregnant, which may change the fate of a girl who is not deeply understood in the world. If Burt is older, it will be a crime!

And since the families on both sides can properly solve the problem of the two children stealing the forbidden fruit, Aldridge has no other emotions. When David is born, he is still very happy. He will spend time with his grandson every year. When he grew up, he played Millwall, and often came to China to find Aldridge during the holidays. His Chinese language was already slippery.

After the game today, it was more like a family gathering of the Hall family. Aldridge has three grandchildren and four granddaughter. In addition to David’s eldest son, Bert also has a pair of children, Earl There is a son and three daughters, the family is very lively.

Five days later, Aldridge led the Chinese team to defeat the European Red Devils Belgium in the third-place match of the World Cup. Although it was through a penalty shootout, the winner was the win, helping the Chinese team get a good result of the third-place World Cup. It is extremely exciting and has created the best results of Asian teams in the World Cup, refreshing the record of the fourth place in the World Cup created by the South Korean team in 2002.

In the World Cup final, Earl copied Aldridge’s legendary record in the England national team. He led the team to the European Cup two years ago, and now has the World Cup. Two generations of Hall and his sons brought England two Europeans. Cup and two World Cups.

After the World Cup ended, Earl was asked in an interview if he had reached the height of Aldridge's coaching. He replied humorously: "Obviously I still have a coaching Asian team to get the third place in the World Cup. ."

Despite countless Chinese fans and officials of the Football Association retaining Aldridge, Aldridge chose to retire. This time, he will not regret it!

In order to celebrate the success of the local World Cup, and the Chinese team won the third place in the World Cup, the national leaders put down a national banquet, not only to treat the Chinese national team, but also invited members of the English national team to the banquet, Aldridge was awarded a variety of medals...

A week later, Aldridge returned to England with his family.

He has decided to settle in China. He came back to England to attend Burt’s honour ceremony. Earl retired, but he was knighted two years ago. Now it’s Burt. He is going to retire, and after retiring He will succeed Earl and become Millwall's new coach.

When Aldridge returned to the club, he was outside and was enthusiastically requested by many fans to sign and take a group photo. Among them, the old grey-haired fan held his hand with wet eyes and said, "Audrich, you should be early." Come back, come back and let us see you!"

For too many, too many older fans in East London, the most unforgettable thing in this life is the memory of the mad lion's rise step by step. That is the best memory of their time!

And the young coach Aldridge has become eternal, frozen in his heart.

Into the club's honor collection room, Aldridge browsed the club's trophy collection alone. Somehow, he always felt a little dazzled, as if he saw one illusory figure appearing on both sides.

Southgate, Nedved, Larson, Gattuso, Pirlo, Shevchenko, Trezeguet, Schneider... Ronaldinho, Henry, De Rossi... Ronaldo, May West, Royce, Bell, Aguero...

As he walked around and walked back to the door, a deafening sound came from his ears.

The illusory figures shouted to him in unison: "Hey, boss!"

Aldridge closed his eyes and smiled, bowing his head and sighing.

"Nostalgia, really old."

On the night of the Count Lord Bert, there were many people in the old house of the Hall family, family members and relatives and friends gathered together.

Aldridge and Ewen sat on the sofa side by side, holding hands naturally, and Bonnie, who had a tall ponytail and ran in front of him, asked with a smile and a smile: "Dad, what do you want to hear?"

Aldridge was a little confused, the ghost made the gods say: "Come on Chopin, I don't understand anyway."

The living room quickly calmed down, and everyone stared at Aldridge’s pearl, the girl in the family who admired the admired Bonnie Hall, who sat elegantly in front of the piano and played with a sense of freedom. pleasant music.

Aldridge listened, drunk...

(End of the book)

End of testimonials

At the end of the previous two books, I have a lot of emotions, even a touch of sadness and disappointment, but I am happy when the last word of "Mad Lion" is written!

Perhaps it is that I have written the story I want to write completely and without regret.

Of course, I can’t say that more than 4 million words are written very well. There must be something bad, imperfect, and the plot is not properly designed, but those are my ability problems. I can’t demand more from myself. Falling into an endless cycle will not benefit the future.

The reason why I was happy was probably before the writing, the outline of the idea, I did not have deviations in the overall plot trend, and there was no temporary change of the Buddha’s feet so that the story was biased.

It may also be that I can write more, maybe it can’t be written. In terms of my personal ability, my understanding of football, my perspective, all aspects are combined, I have all invested in this book In the most incisive, no matter how many, it will only be repeated, and no new things will appear.

From February last year to the end of March this year, for more than a year, it is really endless. It can be regarded as the continuation of the stability of the past two books. The old saying is: I can have no talent, but I can be diligent.

Except for the New Year’s month, which is really dominated by all things, the other time is to maintain three shifts every day. I can’t talk about how proud and proud I am, but at least it’s a performance of professionalism. The job has been done well. Presumably many bookers subscribe and reward. Give me a recommendation ticket, leave a message to encourage, and most of them are moved by me, hahaha.

At the end of the book, I would like to thank the majority of book friends for their support and encouragement, so that my book's achievements have improved significantly compared with the past two books. I personally have no ambition to swallow the sky, but I will be able to make progress. Some people call me a street writer, I don’t care, I am happy, I am happy for my progress and for the support of more book friends, others can’t control it, ha ha.

Here I would like to thank a book friend and the administrator of the book review area: Yu Yelin.

Thank you for managing the book review area, adding essence, scoring the book, etc. for a long time!

Talk about the new book.

Well, the next book is still about football, but the role is changed from coach to player. The new book should be uploaded in the middle and late April. I hope that you will get your support. Thank you!

Well, I will meet you again soon, and we look forward to working together in the next book and new journey!

Xie Zhujun supports every day!
