With Green Street and Barking Road in shambles and nearby hospitals working all night to tend to the injured, the resumption of the East London derby after so many years has had a huge, albeit mostly negative, impact.
Redknapp weakly accused Millwall of "hooliganism" after the game, believing that it was the arrival of Millwall fans that caused chaos around Upton Park.
Of course, this is a thief shouting to catch a thief. Neither party is a gentleman, so don’t laugh at the briquettes with crows and compete with each other to see who is more evil.
Aldridge returned to Millwall and faced a hearing with the Football Association because he slapped an opponent's fan during the game. But the situation was clear at the time, except that Aldridge was sent off with a red card and he himself
Appeal was chosen.
Before the appeal, Aldridge gave a special interview to the BBC to build momentum for himself.
Facing the interview camera, Aldrich sat in his office and talked calmly.
"The whole process of the incident was explained very clearly by the TV cameras. Fans from the other side rushed into the stadium. It was the other side that first violated the stadium management rules. Then, the other side insulted my players with words and deeds. Obviously, that person had a purpose.
Sexually, I couldn't predict when he came at me
What he will do, maybe many people think he will just scold me and show me the middle finger, but I don’t think so, maybe he will hurt me, and he is standing in front of me, about to raise his hand, I
I thought it was a move that would attack me, so I stopped him first."
"Stop? Do you describe yourself as stopping him by throwing your hands away and slapping him?"
The BBC female reporter looked surprised.
There are many ways to stop someone, but a slap in the face is hard to convince.
Aldrich said affirmatively: "Yes, I think if the other party's behavior was on other occasions, then I was acting in self-defense to protect myself from being hurt, just like a robber rushing towards you on the street, wouldn't you
Can't you kick the other person down before they stab you with a knife?"
The female reporter knew that Aldridge was secretly using concepts to defend herself, but she did not expose it. Instead, she asked: "I heard that Millwall is appealing your red card and has also submitted a letter to the Football Association.
Material, alleging negligence in the management of West Ham United's stadium, right?"
Aldridge said: "Yes, first of all, the referee Walton showed me the red card. He explained to me that it was not due to competitive factors, but because of the pressure on the court, or to be precise, the pressure of the home team fans.
At that time, many fans in the stands wanted to rush into the stadium. I didn't blame Walton.
, He is a good person, but West Ham United fans are a cancer in the Premier League. If they use such methods to put pressure on the visiting team every time, what should the referees do? This has seriously damaged the principle of fair play.
, and this is exactly the result of West Ham United’s management failure.”
"In three and a half months, West Ham United will visit the Lion's Den. As the team's manager and owner, can you guarantee that Millwall fans will not copy the behavior of West Ham United fans?"
The female reporter's question hit the nail on the head.
The atmosphere of the East London Derby was heated. This was not a unilateral provocation of war, but fans from both sides could not restrain their emotions.
Aldridge showed a smile and said: "My team will defeat the enemy on the court. Since it is playing football, then use football to defeat the opponent. Of course, if there are irrational people among the fans who disrupt the normal progress of the game,
, then, Millwall officials will not protect this fan, or
It is a fan organization. We will blacklist him and ban him from entering the Lion's Den Stadium for at least three years. No one wants to see fan riots happening, but if this happens at the Lion's Den Stadium, I would rather stand in the stands.
There is no one in the sky, and behavior that causes trouble will not be tolerated.”
The female reporter was a little surprised. She didn't expect Aldridge to be so tough in management. She raised her eyebrows and said: "Let's talk about Millwall's next plan. In two weeks, you will have another derby match with Chelsea.
, there is still a game against Newcastle United, the top team, before Christmas."
Aldridge said with a smile: "Chelsea? I am disappointed with Fleet Street's attitude. Yes, Chelsea added a world-famous Gullit, the European Footballer of the Year, to the lineup, but he did not make Chelsea undergo a qualitative change.
, Chelsea ranked 11th in the league last season, what now? Chelsea ranks 13th in the league, but every week, the London media will praise Gullit, just like a country bumpkin who sees urbanites exclaiming, this makes me feel sick, Gullit
Leeteuk, he was the world
One of the best players in the world, but it does not mean that he is still the best player at the age of 33. When Chelsea comes to Millwall as a guest, I think Millwall will beat Chelsea easily like other teams.
Of course, I think the Fleet Street reports after the game will still have some good words for Gullit. After all, English football has not seen a player of the level of Footballer for too long. It’s just that you got one thing wrong. Gullit
Lee Teuk was the Footballer of the Year five years ago, and he is already on the verge of retirement."
The female reporter was very excited. In fact, there were countless media outlets who wanted to interview Aldrich, but apart from official routine press conferences, Aldrich rarely accepted exclusive interviews.
This BBC interview was a highlight. She didn't want to mess it up, nor did she want it to be as bland as water, but the young coach was very considerate, from criticizing West Ham United to despising Chelsea, and even scolding Fleet Street. The subtext was different.
Does this mean that the British media is following the trend to please Gullit, a star with many honors?
She was also ready to add fuel to the fire and asked with a smile: "Millwall and Newcastle United had two confrontations last season, both in the cup, and Millwall lost both times. You and Kevin Keegan seemed
A little unhappy."
Aldrich and her had a perfect connection. As soon as she opened her mouth, Aldrich gave her what she wanted most.
"Kevin Keegan disparaged Millwall and even claimed last season that we would be relegated this season. As you can see, Millwall is in very good shape. If the top three in the league are relegated, then it is really possible for us to go back at the end of the season.
League One.”
"Hahaha, Mr. Hall, you are so funny, but you said last season that you wished Newcastle United could win the league championship. It seems that your blessing is very effective. Newcastle United is the league leader, and it is with the ball behind it.
The team has opened up a lot of gaps, and even Liverpool, fourth in the league, seems to have announced that it will withdraw from the championship this season."
When talking about Newcastle United, it is naturally associated with the championship.
Aldridge said with a sly smile: "There are still more than twenty rounds in the league, and not even half of it is over. It would be too arbitrary to say that Liverpool has withdrawn from the championship. Just imagine, if Newcastle United loses three or four games,
Then, the teams behind them will catch up with them immediately. In any case, I look forward to Keegan leading Newcastle United to the Lion's Den Stadium, allowing us to compete seriously on the stage of the Premier League. Of course, this has nothing to do with the championship.
Any contact, it's just a normal league game."
...
Aldridge's interview attracted widespread attention after it was broadcast the next day. As Millwall's two mortal enemies, West Ham United and Chelsea were naturally dissatisfied. Kevin Keegan hit back at Aldridge in the interview.
Odd, I think this kid is a little carried away and Millwall is not qualified to be compared with Newcastle United.
Aldridge and Melanie had dinner together and then took a walk along the Thames River to relax physically and mentally. After that, the two parted again due to their busy work schedule.
The FA revoked Aldridge's red card but also refused to accept Millwall's accusation against West Ham United.
This is a silent exchange of interests. Everyone should take a step back and stop causing trouble.
The East London Derby has always been troublesome, giving the Football Association a headache because the derby has gone beyond football and directly affected the security of London. The Football Association is not willing to let government departments interfere with their management, and the East London Derby is not
In special cases, security problems will always occur after the Manchester City derby.
Millwall still maintains their undefeated status in the league, but their performance is always ups and downs. In one game, they beat a strong team with a shocking victory, and in the next game, they may get a dull draw.
In addition to the fact that Aldridge will send the strongest lineup no matter who the opponent is in the cup, and some league games require rotation, the team has to adapt to the Premier League and deal with different tactics and rhythms, plus the weather and venues, etc.
Qi's team can achieve the current results, and he is quite satisfied.
They had just defeated West Ham United, but in a rainy game, they visited Aston Villa but only got a 1:1 draw.
In addition to the impact of rainy games that is not conducive to ground coordination tactics, Aston Villa's outstanding performance this season is also obvious to all. They firmly occupy the upper reaches of the standings, and are even ranked in front of Arsenal, although the gap is not
big.
At the end of November, Millwall welcomed their arch-rival Chelsea at home. Millwall fans looked down upon Chelsea. In the past, their fists were bigger than their opponent's, but now their team's performance is much better than Chelsea's. Naturally, they were arrogant and didn't bother to look at Chelsea.
London.
Millwall chairman Arthur was so hospitable that he called Chelsea owner Bates three days before the game.
"Asshole, come to the Lion's Den Stadium to watch the game. I've prepared some good wine. Let's sit in the box and watch the performance of the World Footballer. This is a kind of enjoyment!"
Bates, who had white hair and a white beard, gritted his teeth and replied: "I have something to do on the weekend and can't go to watch the game."
"You're not going to hide at home and cry, are you? Come on, watch the game. Millwall is also considering learning from Chelsea's policy of recruiting big stars."
"Fuck your whole family, your shamelessness must have a limit, why are you so proud? You will run home and cry when the Millwall Supermarket opens!"
"Hey, bastard, at least now Chelsea can't catch up with Millwall even if they run like a dog with both hands. Do you want to come over and flatter me? Please say a few words to me and I will consider selling a few people to you."
"real?"
"You are such a badass, if you come here and kiss my ass, I will just fart in your face!"
"Ah~~~! Arthur Hall, I'm going to kill you!"
"Then come to the Lion's Den Stadium and watch the game."
