The Young Lion

The incident got a little messy.

The Turin police had to come forward to explain to the public, and the mayor of Turin also came forward to talk to Aldridge.

The incident continued until late at night.

The last picture that was frozen in front of the public was Aldridge and the mayor of Turin shaking hands with each other with a smile, revealing to the outside world that the incident had been perfectly resolved.

The Italian media began to mock Britain.

Although the Turin police are suspected of blindly enforcing the law, the evidence for their detention of Millwall fans comes from the British police.

Their blacklist information database is provided by the British police.

This is really slapping yourself in the face!

In fact, Aldridge never pointed the finger at the Turin Police Department or Italy from the beginning to the end, and he will not represent England to stir up trouble here.

He wants to buy people's hearts.

Whose heart do you buy?

Millwall fans are primary, All England fans are secondary.

The root cause of the incident is that the British police have used excessive methods to combat football hooligans for a long time in the past. This not only caused Millwall fans to suffer unwarranted disasters today, but also caused complaints from fans of many other clubs. Such incidents are not accidental or random incidents. , It happened to Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, etc., even including neutral fans.

Even though fan organizations of many clubs wrote to the FA, the FA turned a blind eye.

The reason is simple. If the FA wants to solve this problem, it has to deal with the British police. They are not willing to confront outside the circle, especially political forces. It is best to maintain a peaceful state.

Therefore, even if the FA supports the club's away package explicitly and secretly, this can indeed reduce the occurrence of fan disturbances.

Millwall fans who stayed in Italy flew back to London the next day with Aldridge generously donating money to charter a flight.

They returned to the UK like a triumphant hero, and Aldridge not only led the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. He even took the lead in protesting for the unfair things that happened to the fans, which made his image in the hearts of the British people a little higher.

After returning to London,

Interview him first. Aldridge claimed that he would negotiate with the British police and asked the other party to explain: Why am I listed as a football hooligan?

FA chairman Wiseman contacted Aldridge privately. It reveals a meaning: don't let the fans make trouble, just make trouble yourself, the Football Association supports you spiritually!

Yes, the FA wanted to use Aldridge as a gunman this time. It is impossible for the FA to come forward to deal with the British police, but as a public figure, Aldridge suffered unfair treatment because of his work in the British police. He had enough reasons to ask the British police for an explanation.

Aldridge is serious.

He thinks he is a big blemish being judged as a football hooligan, and if it is not resolved, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Andrew prepared a legal team for him, Aldrich said publicly. If the British police cannot give a reasonable explanation, he will resort to legal means to solve this problem and restore his reputation loss. At the same time, he will also help Millwall fans to wash away the shame.

If the British court does not accept it, Aldridge will sue the EU!

The incident continued to heat up. But Aldrich's life was normal.

The British police finally gave an answer: the predecessor made a mistake.

Aldridge was blacklisted 94 years ago, probably when he was around 17 years old.

Investigating what happened at that time point, it should be that Aldridge watched an FA Cup match at the Lions Den Stadium. At that time, Millwall was still the top team in football hooligans, so it was closely monitored by the police.

As for whether Aldridge was involved in some small riots in the stands or clashed with rival fans on the street before and after the game. The police have also been unable to explain clearly. The explanation they gave is: it is suspected to have a close relationship with the leader of football hooligans.

This suspect is the key.

Perhaps, the person sitting behind Aldridge is a football hooligan, and he was judged to be a football hooligan.

This is the British police's attack strategy of would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one person go.

Many other fans may have been judged as football hooligans just because they appeared on the same occasion as football hooligans. The police have no time to investigate whether they know each other, whether they have spoken to each other, and whether they really participated in football hooligan activities.

In view of Aldrich's public influence, especially the good image he has created through his enthusiasm for public welfare and charity in recent years, the British police had to admit their mistakes and remove his name from the blacklist.

In this way, with the precedent of Aldridge, there was a wave of reversal of the case in British football. !

Perhaps only Chelsea, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United, who are endless enemies with Millwall, will dismiss Aldridge. Most fans of other rivals such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, etc. have a heart for Aldridge. With the meaning of respect.

The fans of other clubs are envious. They also hope that the coach of their team is the second Aldridge, who can stand firmly and loyally on the side of the fans like him. Will turn a blind eye to the plight of the fans.

The Millwall players respected Aldridge, and Southgate joked on the training ground: Boss, can you cut your brain open and see what's inside?

When Aldridge heard it suddenly, he felt that the other party was scolding him for being out of his mind, but when he saw the players showing admiration to him, he laughed it off.

After being a public figure for several years, isn't it just a matter of making a show?

Thanks to the cooperation of the Turin police, he was also arrested in the detention room. Otherwise, even if he asked for an explanation, he would be just a bystander, and most people would think that he was just looking for trouble.

But it's a matter of his own reputation. Aldrich wins people's hearts based on his show, so why not do it?

Stepping into April, Millwall was fighting on the third front. The FA Cup was the first to fall, and fell to the top 8. The ability of the substitute players to fight tough battles is still limited, especially when there is no main force. Once the offense fails to open the situation and the mentality becomes impatient, it will give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it. In this regard, even Ronaldinho is no exception, after all, he has not experienced many professional games. Mental training is a process that cannot be rushed.

The performance in the league is also very good. The point gap with Manchester United has not been widened, but narrowed by one point, but the situation in the league has become very stalemate. Arsenal has a rhythm against the sky in the second half of the season, and they must win every game , God can't stop it. Millwall is still third, but Arsenal and Manchester United are only 1 point away, especially in a focus battle sandwiched between the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Arsenal beat Manchester United by a goal away. This not only directly narrowed the points gap, but also dealt a heavy blow to Manchester United mentally.

With five rounds left in the league, all three teams have the possibility of winning the championship.

Aldridge is normal about the league, and the main players keep playing once a week, and if they meet the Champions League, it will be in the middle of the week. It will inevitably allow the main players to recharge their batteries, and the previous weekend's league will allow substitute players to charge.

The opponent in the Champions League semi-finals is Monaco from Ligue 1.

Coincidentally, the two teams met in the pre-season warm-up match, and the scene was full of sparks. Millwall dedicated a goal battle against Monaco at home. 4:4 between plum blossoms and bamboo.

Aldridge felt that it was God's will.

In the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup last year, he faced Fernandez. In the semi-finals of this year's Champions League, he met Tigana again.

Not only are they all French teams, but they are also coaches with whom he has a good relationship.

The day before the semi-final kicked off, Aldridge attended UEFA's official press conference at the club.

Millwall still play at home first, then away.

I don't think there's any difference between home and away and away and home. If Millwall first considers the away goals advantage and eliminates the opponent and focuses on this, then we will never step into the game. In the final, because it was a mentally cowardly performance, although Manchester United was eliminated by Monaco's away goal advantage, this is not a decisive factor. The deeper meaning is: Monaco performed better. Although they drew 0:0 at home Manchester United, but eliminated the opponent 1:1 in the away game, this is not a numbers game, but the performance of the team, some people may think it is luck, but there is no basis for strength, good luck will not come to you for no reason.

Which is more beneficial, the host before the guest or the guest before the host?

Aldridge is not interested in thinking about this issue. Anyway, the reality is: he must emphasize that the first home and then the away will not affect the team!

Otherwise, wouldn't this just increase the psychological pressure on the players?

What's more, they eliminated Juventus first at home and then away. They should not take this schedule seriously and concentrate on playing the game well instead of letting other factors affect their mentality.

Fleet Street analysis believes that there is little suspense for Millwall to enter the final, and the strength of Monaco and Millwall cannot be compared at all.

Monaco is the leader in Ligue 1 this season. Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux, Marseille and other traditional strong teams are behind them. Unfortunately, Monaco still only ranks third in the league, and there is a big gap with the top two , Unless the Champions League wins, the traditional giants of Ligue 1 will miss the Champions League next season, and the two teams competing for the championship in Ligue 1 are shocking: Lens and Metz.

Although Monaco's situation is similar to that of Millwall, their performance in the Champions League is not the same.

Aldridge said in a low-key manner that this duel was a fierce battle between two teams of equal strength, and no one had a clear advantage.

What he said was indeed hypocritical.

He is very confident about reaching the final, and the players are also full of confidence.

Playing against Monaco, he will play Millwall's style, without many tactical restrictions like playing against Juventus.

On the night of the game, it rained lightly in London. The rain was not heavy, but it would definitely have some impact on the game.

While the players were getting ready in the tunnel, Aldridge and Tigana stood on the sidelines and chatted happily.

Fernandez texted me to kill you.

Tigana's words made Aldridge laugh and said, He really holds a grudge, by the way, where has he been recently?

He has been offered by some Spanish clubs and is under consideration.

Spain, um, at least it's similar to the style of Ligue 1, Latin style, can you keep that young man in your team?

You're so annoying! Talking about this at this time, I probably won't be able to keep it. Why, are you interested? Now I can consider selling him to you in the summer, but after the World Cup is over.

Is he willing to come on the bench?

I guess it's unlikely to be willing.

Aldrich frowned and thought for a long time.

Henry, Henry, after the World Cup, it is estimated that there is no 10 million pounds that cannot be won, and after it is won, it will be given the main position. Even if Shevchenko leaves, Ronaldinho will take the top position.

If you buy him, will it take another season to train him?

And still started off the bench.

Aldridge said to Tigana before the game: Keep in touch, give me a message before selling him, I haven't made up my mind yet, money should not be a problem.

Indeed, money will not be a problem. If Shevchenko leaves in the summer, it will bring a lot of transfer income. ()
