The Young Lion

The second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals ended at the Lion King Stadium.

Unsurprisingly, East London fell into chaos again. Fans who left the Lion King Stadium, those Wild Lion fans who watched the game through live TV at home in bars, appeared in groups on the streets and came to the Lion King. Surroundings of the King's Stadium.

Angry fans wanted to search for the referee team and attacked Inter Milan's team bus.

The smoke dissipated, and the Lion King Stadium changed from noisy to dead. Aldrich did not attend the post-match press conference. He walked into the stadium, stepped on the turf, and walked aimlessly in the stadium alone.

He walked to the place where Messi was injured, walked to the penalty area line where Ronaldo fell, squatted next to the goal post where Schneider desperately injured himself, walked along the inside of the sideline, looked up at the stands, the empty place The tears, anger, and despair of Wild Lions fans can be vaguely seen.

Eventually, he came to the tee spot in the center circle and lay down.

The dead stadium, the rectangular green field, the three-dimensional majestic stadium building, overlooking it, is like a huge coffin, buried with a calm and expressionless young coach...

Closing his eyes, the world was in darkness. Standing in an environment of nothingness and weightlessness, Aldrich saw that dark space gradually turning blood red, and a male lion crashed down, filled with blood, sweeping the whole world.

If he didn't have the coaching career of the past thirteen years, didn't lead the Wild Lions through ups and downs, and was just an ordinary fan like in his previous life, he should be able to accept everything that happened today.

In the football world, there is the injustice of June Feishuang, but you have nowhere to complain!

Bystanders can, of course, watch other people's tragedies tepidly and indifferently.

If he's an absolute realist, he'll compromise, bow his head.

Go home and get some sleep. A few words of condemnation, a few words of protest, and time passes. Life goes on, and what happened today will also be forgotten by the world. At this moment, my heart-piercing and painful wound began to stop bleeding, scarring, numbness, and finally left a scar that would fade in the future. If you don't look at it, you won't remember what kind of injury you have suffered.

is this okay?

Millwall...Millwall...

In that blood-red world, a voice sounded. From inaudible to gradually clear, and finally earth-shattering!

The corners of the mouth twitched slightly,

Aldridge, who was lying in the middle circle of the green field, struggled.

Not reconciled!

Not reconciled!

Not reconciled!

Nine years and seven crowns!

How can I be willing!

If Ran loses to his opponent openly, if he has indeed committed an unforgivable mistake, he will accept everything calmly!

But lost to Inter Milan, a team that has been weak for a long time in the European war and is inferior to Millwall in all aspects.

No, not losing to Inter Milan.

It was lost to UEFA!

Inter Milan's pawn was used by UEFA to humiliate Millwall!

Kill two birds with one stone!

In addition to suppressing Millwall, it will also provoke the partnership between Millwall and Inter Milan in g14!

Messi, who hid his face and wept when the game ended, and Ronaldo, whose half leg was stained red, came to mind. Schneider, who was being given oxygen when being carried down on a stretcher, those diehard fans who would stand up to defend the Lions all the time regardless of their own lives...

Aldrich kept asking himself in his heart: Can you compromise?

Can?

Can?

Can? !

No! No! No! ! !

Aldrich opened his eyes, and he saw. Yiwen knelt beside him, gently holding his right hand in front of his chest, with tears in his eyes, feeling sorry for Aldridge's right hand that was no longer bleeding but had a shocking wound.

Bonnie, Bert, Earl, the three children have different expressions, some have cried, and they are wild lions. Some are fathers.

Aldrich stood up and smiled softly at his family. Picking up Bonnie with one hand and putting one on Burt's shoulder. Walk towards the player tunnel of the stadium.

Beside the exit of the player's tunnel, Carter leaned against the wall and smoked, with a cloudy look on his face. When Aldrich came over, he threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it hard.

As soon as the game was over, I notified everyone in the club, the players, the administrators, and silenced the outside world.

Aldrich nodded when he heard the words. Obviously, after encountering such a major emergency, Millwall needs to be consistent with the outside world, especially after the game. It needs to have a clear position and attitude, so that first of all, it is necessary to avoid people Talking a lot, you say something, he says something, you say here, he says there, maybe they are all complaining, but if there is no unified goal, that is just complaining, not fighting back, not defending yourself!

After the game, Carter immediately issued a gag order to everyone in the club. Millwall did not have a representative to attend the post-match press conference. The players left one after another after resting in the locker room.

When Aldridge left the Lion King Stadium, the field outside the stadium gathered the live report teams of the major media on Fleet Street. They pointed their cameras at the Lion King Stadium, the crowded streets, and the police maintaining law and order.

This is unusual.

After a game is over, there should be post-match comments, listening to what the players and coaches have said, and then some celebrities or ball critics will summarize, look forward to the future and so on.

But now, the events happening around the Lion King Stadium are more like a beginning. The end of the game does not mean the end of the event, as if something is brewing.

Everything stems from Millwall's unilateral closure.

The outside world does not know how they will react at the moment when the European dynasty's rule is terminated, especially the controversial judgment in the game gives them every reason to complain.

But they don't have it now, but it is even more speculative.

Carter also drove to Aldrich's house, and after putting the children to sleep, Aldrich came to the back garden of the house and sat opposite Carter. Ivan prepared tea and snacks for them, and then left space for them two men.

Aldridge glanced at the wound on his right hand that had been carefully bandaged by Ivan, lit a cigarette, and said lightly: Maybe my next decision will be interpreted as revenge by the outside world, but that's not entirely true, anger is only temporary, Longer-term considerations must be swirling in my mind, and if I don't do this, I will lose all enthusiasm for football and may die tomorrow and sell the club immediately.

Carter looked contemplative, nodded after a while, and said: You have the right to do this, because you are an idealist, unwilling to bow to the vulgar and filthy reality. Yes, Millwall can compromise today and downplay everything, but in the future What? What about next season? You're only 30 years old, if you're in charge for another 20, 30 years, whenever Millwall is brilliant, there's an external force that's beyond the scope of football to hit you, of course it will make you Cutting off the idea of ​​continuing to coach the team for another 20 or 30 years, and even boycotting football, all the best experiences of this sport have become the humiliation of being helpless and accepting oppression.

Aldridge said softly, Thank you for understanding.

That's right, it's not Aldridge's style to just talk about the moment. In fact, when he was lying in the center of the Lion King Stadium, his heart was ashamed.

The most painful thing in the world is that one's own efforts are not easily obliterated by others!

He worked hard and spent irreversible time, but he didn't get what he deserved.

In that case, who is willing to pay? Who is willing to continue to drag on?

What are you going to do? The club is waiting for you to make a decision!

Carter stared firmly at Aldrich.

In fact, as a club, Carter should persuade Aldrich to bow his head to reality, because it is done, and making trouble afterward will not help the matter, but may intensify the incident, which is not good for Millwall.

But before he became Millwall, he was first and foremost Aldrich's best friend. He knew Aldridge, made Aldridge bow his head, denied his own efforts, and made compromises. That's impossible!

Millwall has encountered many difficulties, ups and downs, and Aldridge has come through. Today, he can no longer bow his head to anyone.

Aldrich was silent for ten minutes, and finally said in a deep voice: Two things, one is far and the other is close, and the close is first. In today's game, I want revenge! Millwall is not arbitrary by UEFA. Chess piece, I want the whole world to see that they have provoked the worst person! The club collected the disputes that occurred in the game as evidence and formed the most professional team of lawyers. Millwall went to the European Court of Arbitration for Sport to file a lawsuit in name , we are suing for unfair treatment during the game, but the whole world knows that we are suing UEFA!

Carter interjected: That's right, the temporary replacement of the referee team is one of the evidences that can be used, and secondly, to add another point, Millwall publicly reported to Europol under the European Union, requesting Europol to investigate this game! The European Court of Arbitration for Sport will more or less favor UEFA. Besides, we all know that most of the European Court of Arbitration for Sport refuses to accept such cases, and they can join the institutions under the European Union, and institutions other than sports will intervene! This is the European Court of Arbitration for Sport. What the Football Federation is most afraid of! Even if it is a protracted and fruitless lawsuit, we can afford to let this game nail UEFA to the pillar of shame for a long time, and let them accept the judgment of the outside world. Even sanctioned by public opinion!

In terms of knowledge and knowledge, Aldrich is not as good as Carter, so when an idea comes up, Aldridge will mostly consult with Carter now, and Carter will perfect or supplement it.

Call the police?

Aldridge really didn't expect that his thinking was still in the football circle and in the competitive field, but Carter was more straightforward.

Once Millwall's complaint is delivered to the European Court of Arbitration for Sport, it will officially announce that it has broken face with UEFA!

Because the routine process is that if a team is dissatisfied with the dispute over the game, the first step must be to file a complaint with UEFA, which will be heard internally by UEFA. When the result comes out, the club is not satisfied, and then appeals to the European Sports Arbitration If you are not satisfied with the court, you can go to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport!
