The Young Lion

Millwall began to prepare for the weekend's league game. Many fans came from outside the training base. They pulled up banners to support the club and also played banners against racial discrimination.

There are only four rounds left in the league and two games left in the Champions League. Millwall's final task this season is these six games.

There is no need for the coach to supervise, the attitude of the whole team players on the training ground is obvious to all, and they are absolutely dedicated and serious.

The turmoil in the first round of the Champions League semi-final continued to ferment, because Millwall and Leeds United will meet again in the league next week, and they will routinely play a second round of the Champions League semi-final in the middle of next week.

Many public figures in England, known or unknown to Aldridge, have come forward to speak out in solidarity with Millwall.

Aldrich does not participate in many public welfare activities throughout the year, but he insists on his persistence. He has no history of bad deeds. As a public figure, he has been advocating environmental protection, public welfare and charity, anti-sex discrimination, anti-racial discrimination, staying away from drugs, and rejecting violence. Universal values.

He is not a saint, nor did he think about becoming so noble, but these values ​​are indeed worth carrying forward. Although he himself is suspected of trying to gain fame, he has a clear conscience for persisting in these years.

Accumulated water has formed a puddle, and now Aldridge is personally involved in this kind of incident, and the public influence generated cannot be underestimated.

I also blame Bowyer for being unlucky. He and Woodgate faced lawsuits for assaulting Asian students last year. They just went to the police station to receive a police summons earlier this month. Here, he supported Bowyer against external pressure, and now, Bowyer is on the cusp. Many people gathered outside the club to protest. It's not definitely fans. Racial discrimination is a social issue, not a single incident in the football circle, so the waves caused by it have a wide-ranging impact.

Yesterday, Millwall submitted the complaint materials. It took a whole day for the FA to announce that it will investigate the racial discrimination of Leeds United players.

It happened in the Champions League. If Leeds United is not playing against a Premier League team, that is to say, it is an English team vs a non-English team. Then, UEFA should be responsible for this investigation. The FA will definitely obstruct it for the sake of face or the so-called dignity. Even if UEFA issues a judgment to punish Leeds United, the FA will definitely appeal.

This background is also the reason why UEFA can breathe a sigh of relief even though it feels that the outbreak of racial discrimination in the arena is very difficult.

In the referee's game report, he clearly recorded the saliva that Ronaldinho spit on Bowyer's face when he heard Bowyer insulting Ronaldinho. UEFA directly ignored, red card. Suspended for one game, that's all. In theory, Ronaldinho has the qualifications to play in the final.

The UEFA Disciplinary Committee also passed the match material they collected to the FA,

The meaning couldn't be more clear: you should solve your housework by yourself!

The FA has established a charter to hold a hearing. Leeds United, Millwall, including players and coaches, will be summoned by the FA to attend the hearing, and the time will be set after the Champions League semi-final.

Over the weekend, it rained lightly in Leeds.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League in Leeds, Wild Lions fans are hard to find a ticket!

Not only did the home team give few tickets, but the home team fans also spent a lot of money to buy tickets outside. After all, it was a grand scene that Leeds United had never seen in more than 20 years, and they stepped onto the stage of the Champions League semi-finals.

But at the weekend, many of Leeds United's home tickets were bought by Wild Lions fans.

Just a 1:6 fiasco, there are disgraceful incidents in the stadium and in the stands, many Leeds United fans are disheartened, want to go to the stadium to watch the game? If you saw Bowyer appearing on the stage, wouldn't you be looking for something awkward?

Maybe, it's raining and it's inconvenient to watch the game, so I might as well sell the tickets at a high price to earn a pack of cigarettes and drink a bottle of wine.

Before the start of this league, the reactions of the Premier League teams were divided into two categories, which were irrelevant, such as Manchester United and Arsenal. Comments on such matters would always offend one party.

Ferguson should have a position to add insult to injury, but Manchester United really needs Leeds United's help at this time to attack Millwall in the league.

Wenger led Arsenal to lose to Bayern Munich at home, too busy to take care of themselves, how can they have time to talk about other people's affairs?

On the contrary, Liverpool, Chelsea, and even the head coaches of Ipswich Town are criticizing Leeds United and calling on the FA to severely punish Leeds United.

Why them?

Liverpool temporarily ranks fourth in the Premier League, which is 1 point higher than Leeds United's league points!

Chelsea is 6 points behind Liverpool, and it is not impossible to chase 6 points in four games. In short, let's disturb the hearts of the Leeds United.

Ipswich Town is going against the rhythm this season, ranking higher than Chelsea, and the UEFA Cup qualification is already in the bag, but they are 3 points behind Liverpool, and they are now ranked sixth, just 2 away from Leeds United. Minute!

In an interview before the game, Aldridge said lightly that this league game has no connection with the last Champions League game, and Millwall will treat it with caution.

That's what he said, but everyone knew it, how could it be irrelevant? !

The wild lion directly stomped the white rose to the bottom of the valley. O'Reilly didn't even dare to fart. He walked away from the press conference at the slightest disagreement. It was obvious that he didn't even want to mention the name Millwall. Appearance, perhaps, is afraid to mention it, it is like his demon barrier.

In four days, the Wild Lions visited Elland Road twice.

The stadium is still the same stadium, but the atmosphere is completely different, and there is quite a sense of sight that resembles people.

The Leeds United fans watched the game quietly in the stands. Maybe it was the light rain that made people uninterested.

Millwall is still the main force, Klose replaces Ronaldinho in the starting lineup, Henry plays as a winger, and Klose tops the center position.

More than 15,000 Lions fans came to Elland Road Stadium today!

This is definitely a staggering number, considering that the capacity of Elland Road Stadium is less than 40,000.

Wild Lions fans cheered loudly in the stands, and a huge and eye-catching banner was always displayed in the stands.

The slogan on the banner is clear at a glance.

Leeds United \u003c Ronaldinho!

Wild Lions fans used this banner to express their disdain for Leeds United: Leeds United Club is not as good as Ronaldinho alone!

Many Wild Lions fans who came to the away game today are actually ready to start a war with Leeds United fans, and the security of the stadium has been doubled. It doesn't matter. The game is over. Let's fight in the street and promise not to kill you!

But after they came here, they realized that the Leeds United fans seemed not interested in fighting them.

The fans who made trouble in the Champions League game did not come today, while the Leeds United fans who came to watch the game were worried about the club's prospects.

Obviously, the heart is broken.

In the cold wind and rain, O'Reilly sat motionless on the coach's bench, his expressionless face looked like a sculpture.

Aldrich is not afraid of the wind and rain. Still standing on the sidelines to supervise the battle, even if his suit was soaked by rain, he was not moved.

Today's battle is very important.

In the league, Manchester United must be suppressed.

Manchester United, which has only won the runner-up in the Premier League for four consecutive years, has only hope for the league title this season. It hangs down with Millwall. When Aldrich observed Manchester United's recent games, he found that Ferguson really worked hard. In one or two games, Ferguson gambled his life on a thrilling pass.

This group of Manchester United players. After all, it is baptized by the championship, the league. In the Champions League, they have all won championships, so it is not easy for them to collapse themselves in the role of chasers.

Aldridge doesn't mind either, it is also very difficult to make Millwall collapse.

As for Leeds United, this league game may also be a battle of life and death in the league!

They are only 1 point away from fourth in the league!

After this game, there are still three rounds left in the Premier League. Leeds United still have to face Chelsea and Arsenal. It is not too difficult to play Leicester City in the final game. Leicester City after Martin O'Neill left The situation is getting worse, and the relegation is declared successful at the end of the last round, which will not cause too much trouble for the team that wants it.

But if Leeds United can't win Millwall in this game, they may not only be opened up by 4 points by Liverpool, but also more likely to be overtaken by Ipswich Town in the standings!

If this game is lost, the season can also be declared over, and there is absolutely no chance to enter the Champions League next season, because the morale of the army will be completely broken!

On rainy days, the field is slippery, and the style of play is open and close, especially for teams that play long passes, because long passes will cause friction and acceleration of the ball after it bounces off the ground, and the error rate of long-distance passes and receptions will be greatly restricted. It will rise in a straight line. It just so happens that this is what Leeds United is good at. It seems that even God is not on their side.

Except for Bowyer who was excluded from the list of Leeds United's starters, everyone else continued to start. Duff replaced Bowyer.

The players lacked communication on the court, and there were many loopholes in their cooperation. Although the rainy field conditions restricted the players' personal abilities, Millwall played extremely aggressively.

Obviously an anti-customer-oriented posture.

Although the venue conditions in rainy days are unfavorable, there are also places that can be used, such as: long-range shots!

The long-range shots played by players under such field conditions, especially the long-range shots that bounce off the ground, the frictional acceleration after the ball bounces is simply a goalkeeper's nightmare.

Aldridge suddenly changed the established tactics before the game today, and the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes. He made the change after entering the field during the warm-up of the players to check the field conditions.

In the 16th minute of the opening, Pirlo knocked on the gate guarded by Martin with a 45-yard long-range shot. Pirlo shot a half-high ball that bounced off the small penalty area line, and then quickly rushed into the Leeds United gate.

This kind of super long-range shot can score, thanks to the rain.

Millwall seems to be determined to shoot long shots. Under normal circumstances, the distance is too far, no matter how far the long shot is, it has to be close to the penalty area to make an intuitive threat, but today, the long shot that is slightly retreated from the area can also be shot well. Effect.

The Leeds United players blocked the hole of the gun and were suffocated several times. They played the game depressed and angry.

Their anger, the premise of the defense line, and the key interception areas are also pressing forward, which is exactly what they want!

In the 37th minute of the game, Henry dribbled hard to beat Kelly with enough space in front of him.

With a distance of three meters from Kelly, Henry kicked the ball directly behind Kelly, and the force was not small. Then, in the scene where Kelly turned and chased, Henry ran fast without the ball, Henry completely blasted Kelly, and Ferdinand Henry went to chase the ball to help defend when the ball was too fast. He thought he could get the ball first. As a result, Henry flicked the ball to the middle before the baseline. , Consecutive goals were scored!

Martin abandoned the goal and blocked Henry's shooting angle. Henry didn't force his foot and calmly knocked back in the middle. Klose followed up and pushed the ball into the empty goal. He scored the goal easily and knew the credit 99 % belonged to Henry, so after scoring the goal, he ran to hug Henry.

The first half is not over yet, and Leeds United are behind by two goals at home. If they lose this league game, Leeds United's desire to stay in the Champions League next season may come to nothing. The situation will be very unfavorable. Another game Liverpool also lead Tottenham by two goals at Anfield.

Aldridge turned his head and glanced at O'Reilly who was still sitting on the coach's bench.

The other party seems to have given up long ago.

Aldrich withdrew his gaze, stopped thinking about anything else, and concentrated on doing his own thing.

Funeral for the white rose! (to be continued...) ()
