The Young Lion

Green Street and Barking Road were in shambles, with nearby hospitals tending to the wounded through the night, and the East London derby rekindled after so many years had a massive, albeit mostly negative, impact.

After the game, Redknapp weakly accused Millwall of hooliganism, thinking that Millwall fans came here to cause chaos around Upton Park.

Of course, this is a thief calling for a thief, and neither side is a gentleman, so don't laugh at the briquettes as crows, who are blacker than anyone else.

Aldridge returned to Millwall, he faced the FA hearing because he slapped an opposing fan during the game, but the situation was clear at the time, except that Aldridge was sent off with a red card and he himself Appeal was selected.

Before the appeal, Aldridge accepted a BBC interview specifically, and he wanted to create momentum for himself.

Facing the interview camera, Aldridge sat in the office and talked calmly.

The whole process of the incident was very clearly explained by the TV camera. A fan from the other side rushed into the stadium. The other party first violated the rules of the stadium management. Then, the other party insulted my players with words and deeds. Obviously, that person had a purpose. Sexually, when he rushed towards me, I couldn't predict what he would do, maybe many people thought he would just scold me and give me the middle finger, but I don't think so, maybe he will hurt me, And he was standing in front of me and was about to raise his hand, and I thought that was a move that would attack me, so I stopped him first.

Stop? Do you describe yourself as stopping by slapping him with your hands?

The BBC female reporter looked surprised.

There are many ways to stop it, but a slap in the face of the opponent is hard to convince.

Aldridge said affirmatively: Yes, I think if the other party's behavior is changed to another occasion, then I am defending myself to protect myself from being hurt, as if there are robbers rushing towards you on the street, don't you Can't you kick someone down before they stab you with a knife?

The female reporter knew that Aldridge was secretly changing the concept to defend herself, but she did not expose it, but instead asked: I heard that Millwall is appealing your red card and has also submitted a report to the FA. material to accuse West Ham of ground management negligence, yes?

Aldridge said solemnly: That's right, first of all, the referee Walton showed me a red card, and he explained to me that it was not due to competitive factors, but because of the pressure of the stadium, to be exact, the pressure of the fans of the home team, At that time, many fans in the stands wanted to rush into the field. I didn’t blame Walton. He is a good person. However, West Ham fans are a cancer in the Premier League. If they use this method every time. The visiting team puts pressure on, so what should the referees do? This has seriously damaged the principle of fair play, and this is the result of West Ham United's management failure.

In three and a half months, West Ham United will be visiting Lions Den. As the team manager and owner, can you guarantee that the Millwall fans will not copy the behavior of the West Ham United fans?

The female reporter's question hit the nail on the head.

The atmosphere of the East London Derby is hot. This is not a unilateral instigation of war, but fans on both sides cannot restrain their emotions.

Aldridge smiled and said: My team will defeat the enemy on the field. Since it is playing football, then use football to defeat the opponent. Of course, if there are irrational people among the fans, disrupting the normal progress of the game. , then, Millwall officials will not favor this fan, or fan organization, we will blacklist him and ban him from Lions Den Stadium for at least three years,

No one wants to see fans rioting, but if it happened at Lion's Den, I'd rather have the stands empty than condone mischief.

The female reporter was a little surprised. She didn't expect Aldridge to be so strong in management. She raised her eyebrows and said: Talk about Millwall's next plan. Two weeks later, you will have another derby match against Chelsea. , and before Christmas there is a game against top team Newcastle United.

Aldridge smiled and said: Chelsea? I am disappointed with the attitude of Fleet Street. Yes, Chelsea has added a man named Gullit, the European Footballer of the World, but he did not make Chelsea a qualitative change. ,Chelsea ranked 11th in the league last season, now? Chelsea ranked 13th in the league, but every week, the London media will praise Gullit, like a country bumpkin watching the city people marvel, it makes me feel sick, Gullit Lite, he was one of the best players in the world, but it doesn't mean he is the best player at the age of 33. When Chelsea came to Millwall, I thought, Millwall will be with other players. Like the team, they beat Chelsea easily. Of course, I think the report on Fleet Street after the game will still say a few good things for Gullit. After all, it has been too long since English football has seen a player of Mr. You are mistaken, Gullit was the Player of the Year five years ago and he is on the verge of retiring.

The female reporter was delighted to hear that. In fact, there were countless media outlets who wanted to interview Aldridge, but apart from the official press conferences, Aldridge rarely accepted exclusive interviews.

This time the BBC interview is the highlight, she doesn't want to mess it up, and she doesn't want to make it plain, but this young marshal is very face-saving, from bombarding West Ham United to despising Chelsea, and even scolding Fleet Street, the subtext is not That is to say, the British media is following the trend to curry favor with Gullit, a star full of honors?

She was about to add fuel to the fire, and asked with a playful smile: Last season, Millwall and Newcastle United had two clashes, both in cup games, and Millwall lost both. You and Kevin Keegan seem Somewhat unpleasant.

Aldridge and her had a good understanding. As soon as she opened her mouth, Aldrich gave her what she wanted the most.

Kevin Keegan belittled Millwall and even said last season that we would be relegated this season. As you can see, Millwall is in great form. If the top three are relegated, then there is a real possibility of us going back at the end of the season. League One.

Hehehe, Mr. Hall, you are so humorous. However, you said last season that you wished Newcastle United to win the league championship. It seems that your blessing is very effective. Newcastle United is the leader of the league. Even Liverpool, which is fourth in the league, seems to have announced that it has withdrawn from the title race this season.

When it comes to Newcastle United, it is naturally associated with the championship.

Aldrich said with a sly smile: There are still more than 20 rounds in the league, and even half of it is not over. It would be too arbitrary to say that Liverpool quit the championship. Just imagine, if Newcastle United loses three or four games, Well, the team behind them will catch up with them immediately, anyway, I am looking forward to Keegan leading Newcastle United to the Lions Den, let us have a serious competition on the stage of the Premier League, of course, this has nothing to do with the championship Any connection, just a normal league game.

 …

Aldridge's interview program attracted widespread attention after it was aired the next day. As Millwall's two arch-rivals, West Ham United and Chelsea were naturally dissatisfied, and Kevin Keegan hit back at Odry in the interview. Strange, I think he is a little carried away, and Millwall is not qualified to be compared with Newcastle United.

Aldrich and Melanie had dinner together, and then took a walk along the Thames River to relax physically and mentally. The two parted again due to busy work.

The FA revoked Aldridge's red card but also rejected Millwall's allegations against West Ham.

This is a silent exchange of interests. Everyone takes a step back and stops causing trouble.

The East London Derby has always been troublesome, which has caused the FA a headache, because this derby has gone beyond the scope of football and directly affected the law and order in London. The FA is not willing to let government departments intervene in their management, and the East London Derby is not either. As a special case, law and order problems will always erupt after the Manchester City derby.

Millwall is still unbeaten in the league, but their performance is always ups and downs. In the previous game, they defeated a strong team, and in the next game, they may get a flat draw.

In addition to the fact that Aldridge will send the strongest lineup no matter who the opponent is in the cup game, and some league games need to be rotated, the team adapts to the Premier League and responds to different tactics and rhythms, plus weather and venues. Qi's team can achieve the current results, and he is quite satisfied.

Just defeated West Ham United, but in a rainy game, they were a guest at Aston Villa but only got a 1:1 draw.

In addition to the impact of rainy battles that are not conducive to ground coordination tactics, Aston Villa's outstanding performance this season is also obvious to all. They firmly occupy the upper reaches of the standings and even rank ahead of Arsenal, although the gap is not big.

At the end of November, Millwall ushered in their rival Chelsea at home. Millwall fans dismissed Chelsea. In the past, their fists were bigger than their opponents, but now the team’s performance is much better than Chelsea. Naturally, they are too arrogant to take a look at Chelsea. London.

Millwall chairman Arthur was hospitable and called Chelsea boss Bates three days before the game.

Bastard, come to the Lion's Den Stadium to watch the game. I have prepared good wine. Let's sit in the box and enjoy the performance of the World Footballer. This is a kind of enjoyment!

Bates, with white hair and beard, gritted his teeth and replied, I have something to do on the weekend, so I can't go to watch the game.

You won't hide at home and cry, will you? Come on, watch the game. Millwall is also considering learning from Chelsea's policy of introducing big stars.

Grass your whole family, you have to have a limit to your shamelessness, what are you proud of? When the Millwall supermarket opens, you-mother will run home and cry!

Hey, bastard, at least Chelsea can't catch up with Millwall by running like a dog with two hands. Do you want to come and flatter me? Please say a few words to me, and I will consider selling a few people to you.

real?

You're so badass, come and kiss my ass, I'll just put a stinky fart in your face!

Ah~~~! Arthur Hall, I'm going to kill you!

Then come to the Lion's Den Stadium to watch the ball.
