After Aldridge walked into the player tunnel, the on-site officials temporarily designated by the FA immediately followed him. It would be okay if it was the second half, but Aldridge was sent off in the first half. From this moment, Aldridge Qi can only be a spectator, and cannot enter the locker room during the intermission.

Aldridge calmly went to a reception room under the guidance of the staff of the West Ham United club, and continued to watch the game through the TV broadcast here.

Two FA officials stood by the door like bodyguards. Both of them were in their thirties, and they both looked at Aldridge curiously.

The first half ended quickly, Millwall and West Ham failed to create good chances, temporarily ending the first half with a draw.

Aldridge sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, turned his head and smiled at the FA official and said, Can I have a cup of coffee? No sugar.

One of them went out to ask the club staff for coffee, while the other stared at Aldridge, as if he became more nervous, for fear that Aldridge would come out of his shell and run to the Millwall dressing room.

He has the heart of a villain.

Aldridge planned to stay here honestly and go to the locker room after the game was over. Bored, he took out his mobile phone, and when he saw someone calling, he pressed the answer button.

Aldrich, you're going to make headlines again!

I don't want to, I'm just scared and stupid.

Hehe, liar! You can't command now, what should you do if you lose the game?

Losing? I don't see West Ham having the capital to win. Millwall can't lose.

bet?

What bet?

Just bet on tomorrow's dinner. I'm about to tell you that I found a Chinese restaurant. It's very good. Let's go together tomorrow night. If Millwall can't win, you invite me. If Millwall wins, I invite you. .”

Aldridge rolled his eyes and said, It doesn't sound fair.

Show off your gentlemanly demeanor!

Okay, the bet is established, see you tomorrow night.

After hanging up the phone, Aldridge inadvertently turned his head to find another FA official sitting beside him with a slightly obsequious smile on his face.

Friend, what are you doing?

Well, I read in the paper that you're dating Chisholm from the Spice Girls?

Aldridge shrugged and said, Yes.

Can you get me an autograph? My little girl loves them.

Aldrich looked directly at the other party for three seconds and then lost to the other party's fatherly love. He took out a small notebook and pen from the inner pocket of the suit, handed it to the other party and said, You write down the address, and when they release their first album , Let them sign it and send it to your home.

Thank you, thank you, Mr. Hall, you are really young and promising. In fact, I also admire you very much. You are handsome and unrestrained, and the team play you have trained is really pleasing to the eye...

Aldridge echoed with a half-smile, waited for his coffee, and drank it while waiting for the second half of the game.

When the second half started, Aldridge and the two FA officials were already very familiar. They sat side by side like fans and watched TV.

Aldrich felt that something was missing, so he stood up and opened the door, waved casually to the passing staff, and asked them to buy some snacks, French fries and fried chicken, plus money and errand fees.

Within a few minutes, Aldridge and the Football Association officials were eating and drinking in the reception room while watching the game with relish.

Upton Park is still filled with smoky atmosphere.

The Hammers fans clamored to kill Millwall.

They are proud now, as if they have made a good deal.

A fan was sacrificed and the opposing head coach received a red card!

Can this tactic be copied in every game in the future? !

Redknapp's small eyes widened a bit, he is now sitting on the coach's bench, anyway, Millwall's coach is not on the sidelines, the blow to Millwall must be huge!

But he miscalculated the situation.

If Aldridge was sent off because of his own fault, most of the players on the field would feel that the coach is immature and unreliable.

But the players had just been humiliated one second, and the next second the coach slapped the perpetrator to the ground. The players felt refreshed from head to toe, and it didn't take long for someone to take it out for them!

The boss was sent off, that was unfair treatment.

Now, it's their turn to work hard for the leader, for themselves, and for the fans!

West Ham United's offense still couldn't get in. Redknapp put the midfielders on top and played the roughest long pass. They are more adaptable to the field than Millwall, and they are naturally more comfortable to play.

But this style of play is really not cheap before Millwall's two layered defenses in the midfield.

The ball flew over and then flew back.

The Millwall players have adapted to the field through the first half, played better and better, and can also make smooth cooperation in a small area.

It's just that they lacked some luck in the goal. Larson and Trezeguet were unable to turn around with the ball on the front line, so the effect of barely kicking was not good.

Neil put a shovel on the left side and broke the ball under Rolando's feet. The fans on the sidelines shouted foul, Neil got up and passed the ball, bowing his head and cursing: Fuck you-damn!

Nedved received the ball and crossed Vieira from the right center. Ballack, Nedved, and Vieira moved forward together. The ball was passed three times and two downs to force West Ham. The team's backcourt defense is pressing hard.

Ballack received the ball in front of the penalty area, and the two strikers were stared at. He did not hesitate, and directly blasted a long shot from the penalty area line to the goal.

The ball was hit like a cannonball. The goalkeeper of West Ham United, the 34-year-old Czech veteran Milosk, jumped up on the spot but missed the ball because the ball was too fast.

The expressions of the fans of West Ham United were frozen, but they heard the most pleasant voice.

boom!

The kick hit the crossbar with a loud bang.

Ballack just held his head in disbelief, but the next second, the ball that hit the crossbar bounced out again. Near the penalty spot, someone jumped high and headed the goal one by one to meet the returning ball!

In the penalty area, the West Ham United players were stunned. Just now Ballack's long shot stopped them, but Millwall's two forwards did not just watch, they had already developed the habit of Take second chances.

It was Larson, who has a keen sense of smell, who made the header!

The ball headed to the left side of the goal, which was a direction that Milosk was unable to save.

When the ball hit the net, Larson landed and turned his head to look at the lineman for the first time. He found that the flag in the lineman's hand was still hanging down. He showed a fanatical smile and ran towards the stand where the Millwall fans were.

It's Larsson again! Ballack's long-range shot was almost unlucky and hit the crossbar, but Millwall also had Larsson in the front line, and he cleverly headed the goal. , the super shooter has been in a fiery state this season. The first half of the league is not over yet. He has scored 14 goals. He is a strong contender for the Premier League Golden Boot this year. Leh?

After scoring the goal, Larson ran to the stands where the Millwall fans were, and his teammates rushed over, roaring wildly.

At the end of the celebration, Larson walked to the broadcast camera in the corner, reached out and pointed at the camera, and said with a smile, Hey, boss, are you watching the game? The goal just now is for you!

In the reception room, Aldridge and the two FA officials jumped up, and Aldridge even ran three laps around the long table in the celebration of a glider in the reception room.

Mr. Hall, he is very good! It's a pity that he is not from England.

I just don't care if he's English, he's from Millwall.

Aldridge sat down after the celebration, loosened the tie around his neck, and happily continued to eat and drink.

Redknapp's face was sullen, he was cornered, and the raucous Upton Park was now creating a lot of pressure on him.

This he-mother is the East London Derby!

Is it a game to lose?

Redknapp immediately made a substitution, desperately adding a striker to the front line.

Aldrich, who was watching the live TV, saw the substitution, and put his feet on the table, almost lying on his back, watching TV, chewing fried chicken nuggets, and said vaguely: Old Lei has nothing to do, we can only I'm out of my wits.

West Ham has an extra striker, shouldn't Millwall be in a hurry?

Aldridge waved his hand and said: They strengthened their offense, which means their defense was weakened. Many teams turned to offense after falling behind, and ended up losing more. The reason is the same, Millwall It is obviously better than a garbage United like West Ham United. I am not afraid that he will play more forwards. I wish Lao Lei could be more extreme. He can play 424, 235, or 127. History has long proved that the tactic of stacking forwards is from ancient times.

Aldridge was still talking. In the live TV screen, West Ham United made a mad attack and was directly counterattacked by Millwall from the midfield. After catching the ball from the side, he volleyed on the spot, and the ball hit the dead corner of the goal. Milosk was powerless!

Aldrich raised his hands high and laughed, Old Lei, you will be in the headlines tomorrow, and the replacement is a big failure!

Millwall's first East London derby after joining the Premier League, the final score was fixed at 0:2, and West Ham United lost with two nets at Upton Park.

At the end of the game, the audience boos deafeningly.

As dusk fell, the fans of West Ham United, who had lost the derby, were full of resentment. Even though the Metropolitan Police Department dispatched more than half of the police force to maintain law and order, they still failed to stop the riots.

Fans of the two teams clashed on both sides of the south-west side of Upton Park.

All the shops on Green Street and Bajin Road were smashed that night, and the chaos lasted until midnight...
