Leeds United 0:8 Millwall!

The finale of the 13th round of the Premier League, the team ranked third in the standings played against the league leaders. This was originally the match that Premier League fans paid the most attention to on this day, and the media naturally focused on Elland Road. Derich walked into the post-match press conference scene, but the scene was quiet.

In the silence, all the reporters present stared at Aldridge with complicated eyes.

No one congratulated him on his victory, and no one sympathized with Leeds United.

On the contrary, after the extreme shock, the reporters who were originally staying out of the matter and had nothing to do with the results of the game, instead felt a chill in their hearts, and had a thought: horror!

Before the game, public opinion believed that Leeds United would be in danger, but considering the unbeaten record of one win and one draw against Millwall last season, even if Leeds United would lose, it should not lose so ugly, so embarrassing, so vulnerable, in this way

Leeds United, ranked third in the Premier League, was beaten helplessly and was slaughtered at home!

Arsenal, which ranked third in the Premier League last season, has been bloodbathed by 5 goals at the Lion's Den Stadium!

Every day, people are asking: can anyone the fuck stand up and stop Millwall?

Had expectations for Arsenal, had expectations for Leeds United, even when Milan came to Wembley, the outside world believed that Millwall was likely to encounter the first draw of the new season and lose? Unlikely, Millwall has only one defeat in the history of the European war, and it is still away, expecting Millwall to lose in the European war in London? It's so unrealistic.

This 0:8 game is not only that Leeds United failed to fulfill the rhetoric before the game, and the expectations of the crowd who watched the excitement are not too big, but it also directly caused the media to have earth-shaking changes in Millwall.

They are strong. This is a fact.

But it's so strong. No one wants to believe it. Now I have to admit it.

Who else can you count on?

Manchester United?

Before today, maybe people really had expectations for Manchester United, but now, most people think that the Premier League is over!

Yes, this season of the Premier League is over, and there will be no suspense about the championship. There is only one suspense about Millwall: can they create a new historical record?

After Aldrich sat down, no reporters asked questions.

Then he said lightly: If you have no questions, then I will take my leave first.

As soon as his words fell, the scene of the press conference suddenly changed drastically.

A second ago, there was dead silence.

At this moment, all the reporters present raised their hands to ask questions.

Aldridge accepted the questions quickly, almost without any time for thinking.

Could you have imagined that the score would be 0:8 before the game?

Of course it's impossible. If I said before the game that Millwall would win 8 games against Leeds United, people on earth would think that my brain has gone wrong, but I always firmly believe that my players can defeat their opponents and win.

If you didn't replace Ronaldinho and Pirlo at halftime, wouldn't the final score be bigger?

Things that didn't happen and can't happen again. I don't make assumptions.

Why are these two players replaced in midfield?

I have my own considerations, and what I focus on is the whole team. To bear the past of the team, the present, and the future, every decision I make will be based on the overall perspective.

Before the game, you said you liked Leeds United, but during the game you applauded and satirized Leeds United because of Smith's foul. Smith made an insulting move to you when he was off the field. Do you still like Leeds United?

When the focus of the question turned to the Smith spitting incident, Aldridge did not reply immediately, but kept silent.

The reporters on the scene stared at him without blinking.

After being silent for nearly half a minute, Aldridge said softly: No one is perfect, and the team is the same. I like Leeds United's youth, passion, and drive. However, I hate Leeds United on the field today, especially the second half. Dirty, ugly, dare not face up to the competition like a real man, the competition on the football field is not fist, not brutal, not rough, I regret Smith's behavior, he thought he spit on me, I Will it be dirty? Will I be dirty? He’s tarnishing his own image in front of countless Premier League audiences around the world.

Mr. Hall, will you forgive Smith for his actions?

Excuse me? I'm not angry and I don't hate him. Forgive me? Weird question. Do you care if you see a hooligan on the street? My life goes on, my job goes on, sorry, Smith ? Tomorrow I'll forget about him and he won't be in my sights again until the next meeting with Leeds United.

No, Mr. Hall, I didn't make my question clear. I want to ask, will you forgive Smith for his malicious foul on the court?

Aldridge's expression turned cold, and he said lightly: It doesn't matter whether I forgive him or not. The important thing is, can his behavior be tolerated in the Premier League? And it directly caused my player Makelele to be injured. Millwall will File a complaint with the FA and ask the FA to investigate the flagrant fouls committed by Leeds United players. If you can’t distinguish the essence of fierce confrontation, then English football is a joke. Ha ha, tomorrow someone will say that I am talking nonsense and I am not qualified to comment on English football, but please shut up these people, or you lead the team to defeat I, or, you'd better not provoke me, I don't care if you are a star of the England national team, or a legend of which giants, first of all recognize the fact that Millwall is the champion of the Premier League, representing the pinnacle of English football , Millwall's record in European competitions in the past three years proves that we are the representatives of English football, I am not qualified? Now in English football, who else is qualified to criticize this ugly evil?!

Aldrich made a loud noise, and everyone in the hall was shocked.

The reporters stared wide-eyed at Aldridge, who had a serious expression and a hint of anger.

Is this going to kill Smith?

This was the first thought that popped into the heads of reporters.

However, soon everyone denied this point of view in their hearts.

If Aldridge wants to smash against an opposing player. This is too petty. Contrary to what he said earlier about ignoring Smith. Isn't this smacking your own mouth?

Things are certainly not so superficial.

Soon, everyone realized that Aldridge was actually taking advantage of the problem to put pressure on the FA to increase punishment and try to avoid the possibility of Millwall players encountering malicious fouls.

No way, the team with the best technical advantage and possession advantage in the Premier League is Millwall, in other words. They dominate the game, and if the opponent can't resist with conventional methods, they can only use non-conventional methods, even fouls are not hesitating, this is a very normal phenomenon.

In the past, when the technology flow met the power faction, if the technology flow had the upper hand, the power faction would go on a rampage to limit the opponent, as it has in ancient times.

Now although the barriers of technology and strength have been completely broken, integration and sublimation are being carried out, and new types of players have been derived. But some methods remain the same.

The next day, the football news that caused a sensation in England was, of course, that Leeds United were slaughtered by Millwall at home. Leeds United not only suffered an unprecedented bloodbath, but also lost and lost. Elland Road has become a purgatory on earth. Fleet Street even edited a short film to record the tragedy that happened at Elland Road on this day.

From the time when Leeds United fans flocked to the stadium in droves, they were full of joy and confidence when they were interviewed before the game, to the reaction of the fans in the stands when they conceded one goal after another during the game, and some fans left the field at halftime, The game is not over, the stands are empty, and the scene of some die-hard fans crying makes this miserable day even more bleak.

Also making headlines was the flagrant foul by Alan Smith and the immorality of spitting on Aldridge.

The FA immediately announced an investigation into Smith's flagrant foul.

After returning to London, Aldridge asked the club to make two reports, one of which was submitted to the FA, which recorded the frequent fouls of Leeds United during the game, focusing on Smith's malicious foul and the fact that Makelele was injured.

A second report was secretly given to Fleet Street, allowing the media to continue to focus on the incident.

In fact, the second report had nothing to do with that game, but under Aldrich's instruction, the club staff worked overtime to make a fairly reliable report.

This report is actually sorting out the development of the Premier League in the past few years and the current trend of Serie A, the world's number one league.

There is no doubt that today's Premier League is an upward trend created by overseas stars. Millwall is a pioneer in this regard, and Chelsea also made great contributions to the Premier League during the same period.

If there were no high-level foreign players coming to the Premier League one after another to act as pioneers, the Premier League's old employment mechanism in the past and the lack of local talents, how could it hold up the sky of the Premier League? Now there are no such British stars as Gascoigne, Lineker, Hoddle, Barnes, Keegan, etc., who are enough to support the facade, is there Beckham? Even the British haven't forgiven him yet. The selection of the Golden Globes is coming soon, and the support of the British media shows his emotional tendency.

When international football is already developing towards the trend of encouraging offense, is the Premier League going to rest on its laurels?

In this way, why attract more overseas celebrities to play here?

Are you coming to England to recuperate?

The newly appointed chief executive of the Premier League, Scudamore, declared in the new season that he would promote the Premier League to the world.

If the Premier League cannot strictly manage this kind of malicious fouls to prevent micro-duration, then who can guarantee that it will be the ugly side of English football when it is promoted to the world?

In the same period of Serie A, there are already signs. Due to excessive utilitarianism and unscrupulous means for victory, many game scenes are boring and boring, and the foul aggressiveness is beyond the normal range. On the injury list of the entire league, a series of big-name stars, this day is good. Already, tomorrow that one will enter the wounded barracks again, the attendance rate of Serie A is declining, the audience is passing away, the enthusiasm of the sponsors has turned to hesitation, coupled with the continuous scandal and doubts, this is no longer a brilliant and prosperous Serie A scene .

Fleet Street is building momentum in public opinion, Millwall is exerting pressure on the government, and other intricate relationship networks play a role. Although Aldrich did not achieve the best results, he can at least get psychological comfort.

Smith's ticket came out. In addition to a certain fine, he was suspended for 10 games. At the same time, the referee committee also made a sound and would not condone malicious fouls on the court.

It sounds righteous, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that you just heard a fart. (to be continued...) ()
