At the end of 2005, this year's Footballer of the Year Awards Ceremony, Blatter also presented another award created by himself: the Chairman's Special Award.

Awarded to those who make a special contribution to world football during the year.

This year, the award went to someone who is no stranger to Chelsea.

Swedish referee Frisk.

The referee was the one who officiated the Chelsea-Barcelona game in the Champions League last season and was the protagonist who was bombarded by Mourinho after the game for breaking the rules by meeting with Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard during the intermission , There are allegations of affecting the fairness of the game!

This matter caused a lot of noise last season, that is, in the first half of this year. Frisk even received death threats and was forced to announce his withdrawal from the refereeing world.

Not long after, Blatter presented this special award to Frisk. The outside world seemed to be a sign of comfort, but it also meant that Frisk was identified as a victim.

And made a comment on Chelsea: If only 5 foreigners are allowed in a team's 11 starters, then they will focus on the establishment of the youth training system. FIFA is considering such issues. The number of foreign aid is limited. It is a way. If Chelsea only allowed to have five foreign players, then Abramovich would not go all over the world to buy the best players and break the balance of the market. What is currently happening at Chelsea should not have happened at all. This led to chaos and disorder.

Although Blatter's spearhead is directed at Chelsea, the outside world still believes that Millwall, who carries the banner of the Premier League and established a ruling dynasty in Europe, is also under attack!

Why?

Take a look at Millwall's regular starters and even their first team.

How many native English players are there?

Almost invisible!

But Blatter never dared to accuse Millwall openly!

Because the focus of his explanation is the cultivation of the youth training system.

And Millwall is all of Europe. Even the best representative of youth training in the world.

UEFA dare not make a fuss about Millwall on this point.

According to the current rules of UEFA, Millwall has the most youth registrations for the UEFA Champions League every season!

Local training has nothing to do with the nationality of the players.

Just like starting two seasons later, if Arsenal participates in the European war, Cesc Fabregas will be marked with the Arsenal youth training label, and has nothing to do with Barcelona or Spain. This will be clearly marked in the official UEFA website records.

Just like Millwall's Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Villa, Alonso, De Rossi and other players are clearly marked on UEFA's official website: Millwall youth training!

Blatter dared to point this out and attack Millwall. It is tantamount to going against UEFA or even the European Union, which is setting fire to the body.

After Aldridge led the team back to London, he still made this topic clear.

To outsiders, he was an anomaly in speaking out for arch-enemy Chelsea.

During Millwall's Club World Cup campaign.

The 17th round of the Premier League went on as usual, and Arsenal's performance in the league this season was very bad. The performance in the strong dialogue was also disappointing, especially the massacre at home by Millwall, which made Wenger sigh and regret when he dreamed back at midnight, so when Chelsea ushered in Highbury, Wenger didn't have any face. Chelsea played a conservative game, and now some fans have called for Wenger to leave get out of class in order to keep the coaching position. He had to bow his head for the record.

Although Chelsea temporarily returned to the top of the standings after scoring 1 point at Highbury, Millwall missed a game.

Before returning to England to prepare for this make-up match against Birmingham. Aldrich attended the press conference.

In response to Blatter's criticism of the Premier League, he specifically named and criticized Chelsea's remarks, and expressed his own views.

One of FIFA's responsibilities is to promote the development of football. Mr. Chairman said that Chelsea did not do well. I don't express my opinion. I just want to express my position. Take the players in the Millwall team as an example. Billy The environment in which he lived was difficult when he was a child. Millwall brought him to London and gave him the best football training. Imagine if we didn't do this, Villa would have grown up in a different environment and the quality of training he got It is definitely not up to the level in London, this is the reality, the material gap is very intuitive, and there is a very obvious effect gap on the growth of players in a system.

In fact, whether UEFA or UEFA has introduced some policies to restrict the transfer of young players over the years, one of the purposes is to prevent clubs like Millwall from prematurely poaching talent resources belonging to other clubs .

So Millwall has been following the rules these years, and will not forcefully poach any young talent. If you can talk to the club, then talk to everyone according to the rules. Poaching means.

But from Aldridge's standpoint, he doesn't particularly agree with UEFA's approach.

Like in the future, Chelsea will be fined, and Barcelona will also be fined. The reasons for the fines are not the same. Chelsea is targeted, because the reason for punishing Chelsea is illegal operations during the signing process.

This is debatable, because agents in the football circle are tacit: almost no club will sign in according to the rules, and everyone will use some heresy to facilitate player transfers!

Of course, clubs like Millwall, which follow the rules, are really endangered creatures now.

Naturally, this is also related to the fact that Millwall had a dispute with Ajax and was almost in court. Aldrich just didn't want to deal with such troublesome things.

But almost all other clubs have various violations in transfer operations.

But only Chelsea was fined, which is targeted!

If Barcelona is fined in the future, it is a violation of the rules and has little to do with the signing process.

They introduced players that FIFA expressly prohibits signings, such as u18 players cannot make international transfers.

From the standpoint of the club, of course, they will spare no effort to protect their own human resources.

But what about from the standpoint of the players?

South Korea's Messi and Japan's Messi, is it better to receive training in Asia from an early age, or is it better to receive training in La Masia at a young age?

Players themselves should also have the right to choose!

This is about the future of the players themselves! own life!

Just like the parents of children will do everything possible to let their children go to prestigious schools, if the government introduces a policy that a child can only choose schools within the local area, and is not allowed to go abroad, or even choose schools across provinces and cities, how much dissatisfaction will this cause?

It doesn't make sense for those who have no conditions and no capital to choose schools locally, those who have opportunities and capital, but cannot send their children to a better environment to cultivate talents.

For Millwall, Aldridge is not particularly concerned about whether the Millwall lineup has English nationality players. After all, the background of East London is a gathering place for immigrants. A considerable number of Millwall fans are descendants of immigrants. , plus they are an international team now, and their marketing goals are global. Who cares about how many English players Millwall has?

But if it is really necessary to promote the implementation of the foreign aid system in the Premier League step by step, it may even be targeted to cancel the policy of unlimited nationality cultivated locally. In that case, it will be very detrimental to the future development of Millwall.

Aldridge has no absolute confidence in this matter.

Despite his history, the development of the Premier League has not changed.

But in the life he is experiencing now, many changes have taken place in European football, policy changes are one of them, and even changes in other continents. Maybe this is the butterfly effect. For example, Brazil introduced the transfer age of domestic players earlier. Restrictions, such as UEFA's earlier introduction of age restrictions on international transfers of players.

Although Millwall and Chelsea are sworn enemies.

However, Aldridge's attitude is very firm in his stand against UEFA and China.

How Millwall and Chelsea fight behind closed doors is the family business of the Premier League.

It doesn't matter if you tear your face.

But when the door is opened to usher in external pressure, as the two most eye-catching teams in the Premier League at this time, the mutual relationship can be described as bitter!

Watching the good show from the sidelines now, maybe in the future when Chelsea is fined, it will be Millwall's turn to be targeted, and Millwall may even be shot before Chelsea!

After making some remarks in defense of Chelsea, a reporter from the Guardian on Fleet Street brought the topic to the just-concluded Club World Cup.

Sir Hall, in the questionnaire survey conducted by this newspaper, 49% of the fans answered the question: Is the Club World Cup a waste of time? The answer is 'yes'. Do you think this shows that the Club World Cup is in the hearts of fans? Low status?

Aldrich said with a faint smile: I don't make comments, anyway, I think at least if you ask fans: Is the World Cup a waste of time, the number of fans who will answer 'yes' will definitely not exceed 1%. Most of the fans who took the survey, the national team they supported did not enter the World Cup, oh, if the World Cup is changed to biennial, it will be hard to say.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Fleet Street reporters gave Aldridge a tacit appreciative look.

In a word, the news came again.

Aldrich is hitting back at Blatter!

Blatter is not only keen to use the Club World Cup to make money, but also advocates the absurd proposal of holding the World Cup every two years.

The Guardian reporter continued to ask: The Club World Cup reflects the disparity between rich and poor in world football. Millwall's player value, player salary expenditure, player lineup composition, etc. are all different from those of participating teams in the same period. Huge gap, even several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times surpassed the opponent. In such a tasteless game, Millwall traveled thousands of miles to participate, but in the final, the main players exhausted a lot of energy. Now they return to the Premier League to participate Do you not consider the make-up match and the difficult devil’s schedule behind it? Or, although the fans think the Club World Cup is a waste of time, do you care more about the championship trophy?”

Aldrich frowned. (to be continued)
