The Young Lion

At the end of the first half, the Lion's Den stadium was booed loudly. Aldrich deliberately waited on the sidelines for the referee team to leave the field. He walked over and tried to communicate with the referee.

But Horn didn't go in, and he didn't look at Aldridge. No matter what he said next to him, Horn walked towards the player tunnel with his head held high and his chest held high.

Aldridge was on fire in his heart, and he had nothing to say when he entered the locker room. He could only mobilize the morale of the players so that they would not be affected by the referee's penalty and concentrate on the game.

There is nothing to adjust tactically. Millwall has been suppressing the opponent's attack in the first half. If they hadn't been blown away for a goal, they would have taken the lead.

Before the start of the second half, Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets with a cold face. Anyone could see that he was very angry and pointed his finger at the referees.

Today's penalty scale is too loose, which is obviously beneficial to Wimbledon. With a goal blown off, it is reasonable for Hall to be dissatisfied with the referee. Horn is the first time to officiate a Premier League game today, maybe he is too nervous , maybe he wanted the game to run smoothly and didn't want to interrupt the game too much, but he obviously didn't do that. It's strange why a referee with no experience in the Premier League is allowed to referee the game. Millwall always wins the championship The favourites, the FA should ensure that their games are played fairly and equitably and a good referee ensures that.

Even the live commentator couldn't defend Horn.

The level is right there, clear at a glance.

According to common sense, referees with no experience in the Premier League are promoted to the top arena to enforce the law. Definitely honed experience from relatively low-profile games, but any game involving a favorite team. Generally, familiar referees are used to enforce the law.

The Millwall players were a bit scared in the second half.

For example, Van der Meyde hardly dared to take the ball, and passed it immediately after receiving the ball.

He wasn't afraid of a normal confrontation, but today the opponent's aggressiveness was terrifying, and the referee didn't suppress the violent momentum of Wimbledon in time. Players were violated one after another by moves beyond the range of technical movements. Who wouldn't be afraid?

Perhaps with the exception of Nedved, everyone else felt a little apprehensive.

Wimbledon. That is the mad gang who kicked Liverpool to tears before.

So Millwall's long pass became more determined, not only passing from the wing, but also directly throwing the ball from the backcourt to the penalty area.

In the sixty-third minute of the game,

Zambrotta passed the ball from the left, and the ball landed very well. Ruud van Nistelrooy was about to jump for the top, but he was hit directly from behind by Wimbledon's defenders.

All the fans in the stands of the Lion's Den stood up and raised their arms high and shouted in unison: Foul! Penalty!

The referee Horn crossed his hands in front of him. Indicates no foul.

Aldrich showed a sneering smile.

He knew that it was useless to protest, but some people quit. Klinsmann, the newly appointed assistant coach, walked up to the fourth official and pointed to the other's face with righteous indignation and said: Today, the entire referee team's law enforcement It's shit! Shit! You don't deserve your clothes!

The judge in black was angry. The referee stopped the game and ran to the sidelines to show Klinsmann a red card. Klinsmann was a little emotional. He was still reluctant to argue with the referee. Aldridge knew it was useless, so he blocked him and let him go back.

Klinsmann turned his head and glared at the referee in three steps, but the fans on both sides of the player tunnel applauded him.

have to say. His performance just now quickly won the favor of the fans.

In the boos of the audience. Aldrich applauded and taunted the referee team.

The referee Horn hesitated and did not dare to continue to send Aldridge off the field.

This is the Lion's Den Stadium, Millwall's home court. Is he trying to get a bad name for himself?

The game continued, Horn couldn't stand the continuous boos, and finally began to draw out his cards to warn the Wimbledon players, but there was only less than half an hour left in the game, and it didn't matter if the Wimbledon players took turns to get cards, the game was always going on. Intermittently, coupled with Wimbledon's deliberate delay of time, the score has remained 0:0.

When it came to the last fifteen minutes, Aldridge let Materazzi also go up the front line.

However, when Wimbledon retreated across the board, they could always arrange a good line of defense, because whenever there was danger, they would foul and delay time.

When the regular time of the game is over, the fourth official plays stoppage time: 4 minutes.

Aldrich shook his head and smiled.

With so many fouls in the second half, Wimbledon also changed three players and delayed the time when they had the opportunity, but in the end they only gave 4 minutes of stoppage time.

But in stoppage time, Nedved broke through the opponent's two players in front of the penalty area with his personal performance. Seeing that he was brought down by the third player outside the penalty area, he stabbed the ball into the penalty area ahead of time. Klose.

Klose successfully took the ball against offside and was about to shoot when the referee Horn's whistle blew.

Klose ignored the whistle and shot the ball into Wimbledon's goal.

But Horn pointed outside the penalty area, indicating that it should be a direct free kick from Millwall.

After getting up from the ground, Nedved yelled at the referee in disbelief: That's a good goal, we've already scored!

Horn explained with a serious face: But I blow the whistle first.

All the Millwall players surrounded Horn. Horn was sieged and showed three yellow cards and one red card in a row. Materazzi was directly sent off for insulting the referee!

Aldridge was expressionless on the sidelines.

After the game resumed, Lampard's free kick went over the crossbar and the referee Horn directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Lampard ran to Horn in astonishment and said: 4 minutes of stoppage time, the opponent's foul was in the 2nd minute, at least 2 minutes left!

Horn ignored anyone, and when he got the ball, he and his colleagues in the referee team planned to leave the field together.

Aldridge turned and walked into the player tunnel.

The audience booed at the Lion's Den Stadium, and a strange scene appeared.

Big fat Arthur ran all the way into the stadium from the aisle next to the VIP seats.

The staff next to him were probably aware of the club president. What is the young marshal's father going to do? He's an out-and-out old hooligan!

So the people next to him rushed up to grab the angry Arthur. Arthur was grabbed by the arms by the two men. He shook his arms and couldn't break free, so the two arms were pulled out of the suit directly, and then continued to rush forward.

When he was less than three meters away from Horn, the people behind finally dragged him again. Arthur was dragged by three people from behind but still moved forward step by step. He yelled at the referee team like crazy stand up.

You guys are robbing! Helping Wimbledon rob us! Football war criminals! Shame! Idiots, get out of here. I'm going to beat you to death!

Arthur was stopped by six people in the end. With a ferocious face, he stared at the referee team and grinned unwillingly.

When the referee team walked to the player tunnel, a row of security guards stood on both sides to prevent the angry fans from rushing down, but the fans in the nearby stands still attacked the referee team members with lighters, coins and other sundries.

In the end, the referee team left the field with the image of running around with their heads in their hands...

About five years ago, if we saw this scene at the Lion's Den, we would not be surprised or surprised, but in this moment, the situation is rare, but emotionally it feels normal. Millwall feels that he has suffered a very unfair treatment. , the fans just reacted as normal people do when they encounter injustice. The game is over, Millwall drew 0-0 at home with Wimbledon, I hope today's game will not affect their next game.

After the game, reporters from all walks of life on Fleet Street gathered at the press conference. Millwall was supposed to be playing against Wimbledon at home. The attention of the game is completely inferior to that of another London derby: Chelsea vs Arsenal at the same time.

So many reporters went to Stamford Bridge before the game, but now they are all rushing to the Lion's Den Stadium.

Aldridge spent a long time reassuring the players in the locker room after the game. He needs the players to face all this calmly. Anger is useless. Anger will make them lose their minds.

When he appeared at the press conference, the seats in the audience were already full, and there were still many reporters standing in the aisle, which was a scene of a sea of ​​people.

Aldrich sat down with a calm expression, picked up the mineral water on the table and drank a couple of sips.

Richard couldn't wait to ask directly: Mr. Hall, what's your opinion on today's game?

Aldrich's face was calm, and he said indifferently: The opponent is too strong, and we managed to achieve a draw with difficulty.

The reporters in the audience were stunned.

Richard exaggeratedly asked: Don't you have any opinion on the referee's law enforcement?

Aldridge looked puzzled, and asked the opponent: Is there a referee in today's game? Why didn't I see it? I only saw that from the beginning to the end of the game, Millwall played one player less than Wimbledon... ..we challenged the mighty Wimbledon 12 with 11 and then 10 and thank God we didn't lose.

The reporters on Fleet Street suddenly realized and became excited at the same time.

Waiting for you to fire!

But no matter how much they fanned the flames, Aldridge just said that Millwall played one less player, and there was no referee on the field. The process and result of the game were all reasonable.

Aldridge's calm sarcasm, coupled with several controversial calls in the game, made the game a focus after the game.

Millwall did not complain to the referee, and the FA will naturally not investigate anything.

However, the FA's ticket was issued quickly.

Aldridge was banned for five games for inappropriate remarks after the game and fined £100,000.

Klinsmann was sent off, three additional fines and a fine of £30,000.

Materazzi got a red card, was suspended for two games, fined two more games, and fined £5,000.

After the game, club chairman Arthur threatened the referee and banned him from watching the game for ten home games.

At the same time, there was riots after the Lion’s Den stadium, fans attacked the referee team, and the FA launched a stadium safety investigation. The punishment will be announced after the investigation results.

The FA Chairman Wiseman also made remarks in public: In view of the chaos created by Millwall fans, the FA is reconsidering whether to continue to loan Wembley, the national image stadium, to the opponent.

Millwall's reaction was very flat. He neither appealed nor handed over the fines as soon as possible.

And Aldridge met Andrew in a park in the eastern suburbs of London the night after the game, and the two didn't go home until late at night.

At the same time, this incident caused a fierce reaction from the entire Premier League, and the early Premier League wanted to make use of this issue to set off a round of power struggle.

Professional Match Officials Co., Ltd. () has the power to supervise the Referee Committee, and this company was initiated by three parties, the FA, the Premier League, and the Premier League Committee. Naturally, it is full of power struggles and intrigue.

Now, the Premier League wants to expand its right to speak, and Millwall's game gave them an opportunity to slam the table to the FA. (To be continued.
