The Young Lion

The referee does not have the power to decide the outcome of the game, but the referee has the right to decide whether to continue the game. According to his own judgment, the game can be terminated, no matter how many minutes the game has gone on.

Aldrich stood on the sidelines, and hundreds of Leeds United fans in the stands in front of them imitated monkey calls. Gradually, some Leeds United fans around those people walked away, as if they didn't want to be with those people.

Every team has a lot of fan organizations, but the nature of the fan organizations is not uniform, just like Millwall also has a football hooligan organization, they used to be the main force in the tit-for-tat confrontation with West Ham United, but they died a few years ago. It has disintegrated, except for Millwall's promotion to the Premier League and being blacklisted by the FA, the rise of Millwall's own influence, and the expansion of the fan base, such gangster organizations have been marginalized and cannot be said to disappear completely, but It is difficult to make waves.

Leeds United fans themselves are not known for football hooliganism, but a negative trait is racism.

Aldridge is not interested in studying the local cultural composition of Leeds. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Europe, at least not uncommon in Europe. Italy and Spain have been banned repeatedly, and even fan groups committing crimes are not uncommon.

The traditional characteristics of football hooligans are riots in the stands, brawls outside the field, how the game goes is unimportant, it is the pursuit of venting with one’s arms, fans come to the stadium to watch the game, there are personal pursuits, some simply appreciate the game, Some are chasing stars, some are to vent their boredom by shouting. An important social responsibility of popular football is to let the people vent in a reasonable and legal way. Before the British football vigorously advocated it, its background was also the sexual repression of the whole society. . The upper echelon of the country guides football to become an outlet for the people.

Football hooligans vent their violence. Racists can also find cathartic outlets for their self-seeking here. And it can also use the twisted righteousness of defending white supremacy as a shield.

The referee walked up to Aldridge and ordered him to go back to the visiting team's bench and not to provoke the fans here.

Aldrich raised his right hand and stretched it towards the stands, and said lightly: If they don't stop this insulting behavior, Millwall will leave the field, and if UEFA judges Millwall to be eliminated, yes, Millwall will never participate in the UEFA Champions League. The intercontinental competition organized by the Football Federation.

After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the coach's bench.

He spoke harshly. Be firm.

Don't say that there is nothing wrong with Millwall in this situation. Just Leeds United and Millwall are more important to UEFA's brand value?

Moreover, Millwall is also a member of g14!

Ronaldinho was fouled,

Being racially discriminated against by opposing players, fans of the home team in this stadium broke out into large-scale racial discrimination.

It's really too much trouble, UEFA dare to protect Leeds United?

Racial discrimination definitely goes beyond the scope of football. In the dissemination and guidance of human universal values, will UEFA be a negative example?

The referee didn't think Aldridge was threatening him. For him, business is business. Now there are conflicts among fans in the stands, and the game must be interrupted. If Leeds United cannot restore the order in the stands and stop the racial discrimination by the fans, then he can directly announce the end of the game, even if it is for the Champions League and the image of English football. It will be a heavy blow .

Then the result of the game will be decided by the organizers of the game, that is, UEFA.

Whether it was Millwall's exit and was sentenced to a 0:3 loss, or Leeds United's ground management negligence was sentenced to a 0:3 loss, and it was not the referee's turn to worry about it.

Due to personal feelings, the referee did not put any pressure on Millwall. He stopped the game and the players left the field first. Then he found O'Reilly and asked O'Reilly to notify the Leeds United Club that order could not be restored in the stands within 15 minutes. , then, game over.

O'Reilly is the coach, and stadium management is not within his scope of responsibility. He notifies the club management to deal with the current situation, while he returns to the dressing room, trying to get Leeds United's players to regain their momentum and condense their combat effectiveness against Millwall. keep fighting.

The situation is very unfavorable, but after all, it is not without hope of reversal.

But in such a critical game, in terms of tactics, O'Reilly's well-prepared killing move was easily resolved by Aldrich. He was so distraught that he couldn't do anything other than boost morale in the locker room. Adjustment.

In the stadium box, Arthur sat there alone, and Ridsdale went to deal with the riots in the stadium.

In fact, everyone knows that the game will resume. The vast majority of Leeds United fans hope that this team will be brilliant. It really caused the game to end early. Whether it is negative publicity or UEFA punishment, it is definitely not good for Leeds United.

Arthur watched the Wild Lions fans fighting with the Leeds United fans, and couldn't help recalling the passionate era of 20 or 30 years ago. The current riots in the stands are just small ripples in his eyes. Football hooligans 20 years ago When the entire football world was popular, the conflicts that erupted were really passionate. Now, it’s almost like children quarreling, pushing and shoving, throwing debris and kicking black feet, and hiding behind after making moves** Yes, it seems that you dare to do what you don't dare to do.

Witnessing that a large number of security guards poured into the stands where the conflict broke out, a group of fans were taken away, and a group of fans were also taken away by the security personnel in the stands where the racial discrimination was carried out.

When he was young, he liked to stir up trouble. It wasn't that he was a hooligan who bullied men and women. It was just that someone took the lead, and it was a kind of catharsis how to make things worse.

Arthur took out his mobile phone, found the number of his second son and dialed it.

dad?

Well, are you watching the game?.

No. Is there suspense for Millwall to advance?

It has nothing to do with this. Leeds United bought a group of players from Millwall two years ago. You handled it, right?.

Why do you care about this? It's me. Those players are all owned by my agency. What's wrong? Millwall wants to buy them back?

Arthur dangled his legs, and suddenly changed the subject.

In the past two years, some teams in Italy have been unable to operate, and they all have to sell their stars, right?

What do you want to ask? The club is in a financial crisis. Of course, selling the stars is the first choice. There is a lot of money in cash from the sale. The high salary of the stars themselves is also a big burden. Inside and outside, in exchange for cash , and cut wages.”

Well, how did I hear that Italian agents can get a lot of money in player transactions? Why don't you?

Please, do I want to ask Aldridge for money? I signed a player from his team. When he sells the player, I will kill him again. He doesn't mind. I'm afraid you will beat me too?

Arthur realized that he didn't really care about these things before. He only listened to news from the industry occasionally after he became the chairman. He only thought that the operating modes of brokers in England and Italy were different.

Generally speaking, part of the transfer fee for player transfers will be taken away by the agent company as a commission, and there is no fixed percentage. This fee is not considered a kickback for the agent. The two clubs have reached an agreement. The player himself has to nod, and the agent persuades the player to transfer. It's just a credit, and some are negotiated between the agent and the player. The player gets the signing fee, and the agent gets a commission. Anyway, there is no customary rule. Specific cases are analyzed in detail.

Millwall has sold players over the years, regardless of whether the player’s agent is Andrew or not, at least the announced transfer fee will be paid by Millwall. Those players who are not under Andrew’s banner will be transferred, and their agents will have to take a cut. Millwall disagrees. They want to get an extra salary and ask the opposite club to go. Anyway, Millwall will not pay extra from the transfer fee. If you don't get along, get out.

Dad, what on earth are you calling me to say?

Ritzdale talked to me just now, and Leeds United's financial situation is not very good.

Huh? And then?

I'm almost 60.

You're not even 55 years old!

Anyway, you want to prepare a big gift for my 60th birthday.

The more you talk, the more confused I become.

Buy me an old castle with a history of more than 200 years, and I will live there for the rest of my life.

Are you looking for the wrong person? You're going to find Big Brother, let alone a gift of millions of pounds, you sold me.

Arthur laughed loudly, and cursed: I'll sell you? I really think highly of yourself. I don't think it's too difficult. If Leeds United sells their stars, isn't it enough for you to get a commission?.

Only then did Andrew understand Arthur's intention of calling.

Listening to Arthur talking in a friendly manner from beginning to end, it suddenly dawned on him that this old man didn't like Leeds United.

Well, I'll figure it out.

It's still a long time, I'll pick the old castle slowly, anyway, I'm a layman, I'll pick the most expensive one first.

Are you trying to make Leeds United beyond redemption? What's going on? Where's Aldridge?

Okay, bye.

Arthur hung up the phone, just when Ridsdale returned to the box with a long face, Arthur smiled at him, Ridsdale forced a smile and sat down, ready to continue watching the game.

With great difficulty, the riots in the stands were stopped, but the momentum that Leeds United had built before the start was gone.

The stands were quite empty. Apart from the rioting fans who were taken away, there were also some Leeds United fans who were discouraged by the team's performance today and left early.

Bowyer is talented, there is no doubt about it, the expectations placed on him in the first two years even surpassed that of Beckham, but this kind of person with bad conduct, even if he played for Leeds United, many die-hard fans still feel that he cannot tolerate his behavior.

Not to mention the bad performance on the field today, just the whole mess of right and wrong caused by him outside the field made many fans unacceptable.

This is related to a question of value guidance. After all, adult fans and fans with children, of course hope that their children are also Leeds United fans, and then come to the stadium to cheer for the team, but the negative impact brought by people like Bowyer , is simply too large.

This is different from stars going to nightclubs, which are part of normal life. Nightclubs are not illegal places, adults can go there, but such behaviors as taking drugs and hurting people are illegal!

O'Reilly cheered the Leeds United players in the dressing room, let them forget about the dispute caused by Bowyer, and at the same time analyzed the situation and tried to cheer up the team as much as possible.

Bowyer was sent off, as was Millwall's Ronaldinho.

It's 10 against 10 on the field.

He seemed to use a balanced situation to boost morale, but Viduka asked inappropriately: If the game is restarted, we will be awarded a penalty, right?

O'Reilly was speechless, and the other Leeds United players lowered their heads and lamented inwardly.

Bowyer was sent off, and he even gave the opponent a penalty kick before leaving the field. Although he did not foul, Ronaldinho shot the ball from an angle. The position was good, but he missed it in the end. Martin also had a chance to shoot the ball. Block out, now, give the opponent a penalty kick, if the home game is beaten 1:2, what will Leeds United get to advance?

struggle? Fighting spirit?

Who believes it? This is the semi-finals of the Champions League, they have fighting spirit, and Millwall is persuaded?

On the contrary, Millwall's fighting spirit is not reflected in the scrambling fouls and brave confrontation, but the stability that is ridiculously calm.

Leeds United still haven't solved the problem of how to attack, especially now that an offensive player has been sent off, the mood of many players has fallen to the bottom. (to be continued...) ()
