At 2 pm on May 31st, the Lion King Stadium was packed with seats. More than 60,000 spectators stood in the stands under the scorching sun. These crazy Lions fans came from all over the world. Their attitude today was obviously different from usual. There was no nervousness or madness at all.
His wild attitude was actually extraordinarily relaxed. Laughter and laughter could be seen everywhere. Friends were twisting their bodies in the stands as if they were dancing. Of course, dynamic pop music was played in the stadium before, but after the end, many people were still there.
A comfortable state.
There is a huge portrait flying in the stands, which is Southgate's head. Many fans hold up a jersey with No. 6 printed on it. There are different versions. You can find different styles of Millwall's jerseys over the past 11 years, home and away, and even current ones.
All third edition jerseys for the season are available.
In this retirement game, Millwall spent a lot of money and invited the gold medal commentator duo of Martin Taylor and Andy Gray from Sky Sports to serve as commentators for the retirement game. This is completely unnecessary, but Millwall is.
So willful.
They even invited Collina to serve as the referee for the retirement match, which made the standard of the match seem to have risen to a very high level.
Will Collina come?
Why refuse?
You must know that today's game is so star-studded that most of the outstanding contemporary players in European football are gathered here.
Before the retirement game started, the scene started to boo, and even loud screams of excitement from women could be heard!
Aldridge, who had been wearing suits and ties before this, originally planned to go back to the locker room to change his jersey. However, under Southgate's "leading rebellion", players from both sides who were about to start the game surrounded Aldridge one after another.
.
Southgate, Helguera, Trezeguet and others stared at Aldridge as if they were watching a show. Southgate said loudly: "Boss, take off your clothes!"
Aldrich was caught in a trap. He pretended to be confused and asked: "What?"
But his eyes were wandering around, trying to find a breakthrough and rush out. Ronaldinho immediately reminded: "Don't let him escape! He is distracting us!"
The crowd surrounding him became tighter now. Southgate smiled and said playfully: "Boss, I have been listening to your instructions every day for the past 11 years. Now, I am retiring and I am free! Today, it's time to
You listen to me once and just change your jersey here. If you use the excuse that you are not wearing underwear, then let us check to make sure you are not lying."
"Take it off! Take it off! Take it off"
The surrounding crowd was booing, even Solskjaer and Vieira standing in front of the bench were shouting.
Gattuso saw that Aldrich didn't move, so he said: "Let's help him!"
After saying that, he was about to take action. Aldrich was startled, and he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay. I'll take it off, I'll take it off!"
If this continues, Aldrich is really afraid that he will have a psychological shadow.
This scene made the audience feel excited and funny.
It is nothing new for players to be stripped naked or leave a pair of underwear on. I believe many spectators at the scene, especially female spectators, were interested in witnessing Aldrich changing his clothes.
However, to everyone's disappointment, Aldridge had already put on his jersey in advance after taking off his suit.
Ronaldinho covered his forehead and sighed: "Damn, he cheated!"
The players immediately started to boo, and Aldrich said aggrievedly: "You didn't tell me that this was going to happen, otherwise, I would really cooperate with you."
Gattuso suddenly shouted: "Then let's help you put on the jersey again now!"
Aldrich immediately ran away, pointed at Collina and shouted: "Referee, give him a red card!"
Collina spread his hands, shrugged and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, let's start the game."
The episode before the start of Southgate's retirement match has passed.
However, when the game was about to start and 22 people from the two teams entered the field, the audience could not be serious. There were always many people holding back their laughter, or simply laughing loudly in the stands!
Because Aldridge lined up as a player in his jersey, this scene makes people laugh no matter how you look at it.
"Ahem, today is the day that the England national team and Millwall legend Southgate retires. A retirement match was held here at the Lion King Stadium. Many current players were invited to participate, including many who have played for them.
Millwall's former teammates who played alongside Southgate are also top stars of the England national team. According to the information we have received, the game is divided into two parts. In the first half, Millwall
The Wall veterans team played against the Millwall first team, and in the second half it was Southgate's friends team against the England stars. There is no doubt that Southgate will play the whole game, and in the first half, the Millwall first team
, we saw a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar, that was Millwall coach Sir Aldridge Hall. He was not standing on the sidelines, he was playing. Hahaha, this is really an incredible scene.
"
"I heard that the reason why he did this was entirely at Southgate's request. When Southgate was asked in an interview what regrets he had in his career, he seriously said that he had no regrets, but jokingly added
:That means he didn’t play a game with Sir Hall, and he specifically said he wanted to
Sir Hall is his opponent. Haha, in order to satisfy him, or make up for his 'regret', in his retirement game today, Sir Hall took off his suit and went into battle! From the perspective of the position on the field, uh, Hall
Jazz plays a winger, so maybe there will be a head-to-head confrontation with Southgate!"
First half, Millwall first team vs Millwall seniors!
Well, the "coach" of Millwall's first team is Ferguson.
The "coach" of Millwall's senior team is Arsene Wenger.
These two coaches were invited by Aldridge to help out, and they can be regarded as supporting and adding glory to this retirement game.
At the guest table, there were also Tigana, Fernandez Heynckes and other friends whom Aldridge had not known each other before and who have since maintained good personal relationships.
Retirement matches are actually amateur friendly matches.
There won’t be so many restrictions and restrictions, and it’s hard to say how exciting and intense it is. It’s like relaxing and having fun playing football among friends.
However, the invited guests were too involved in the drama.
Ferguson probably harbored resentment towards Aldridge and finally had a chance to take revenge.
From the beginning of the game, he kept pointing at Aldridge and "scolding" him on the sidelines!
The strange thing is that the worse Aldrich behaves, the more excited he gets when he sprays, but after he finishes spraying, he always smiles happier!
Wenger, on the other hand, maintained a gentle and gentle attitude. He probably had a long-standing feud with Ferguson, muttering to himself that Ferguson was too ignorant to steal the spotlight today!
Disrespecting the elderly!
At the beginning of the game, Aldrich was still warming up. To be honest, he usually plays football, but it is just for amateur entertainment.
Although he has directed many games under the attention of tens of thousands of people, and even more than 100,000 people, and his mentality has long been calm, he has never played football in front of so many people!
Originally, his skills were very average, well, very amateur, and he was watched by so many people. The more he wanted to do well, the more nervous he became. Especially since the other 21 players were all professional players, how could he possibly do it when there was comparison?
Don't panic?
He looked awkward after the opening scene!
The pass was incorrect and was intercepted by Capdevila. As a result, the team lost the ball!
And there are two!
In the stands, Ivan covered his mouth and was about to laugh like crazy, while Bonnie flattened her mouth and was a little unhappy. Earl and Bert just wanted to find a gap to get in.
really!
really!
It would be embarrassing for him to put on his jersey and go to the game!
Aldridge was very depressed, especially when Ferguson was very close to him and was insulting him!
Not to be outdone, Aldrich shouted back at him: "Alex, you can do it!"
Ferguson glared at him and shouted: "You are a player, I am the coach, you listen to me!"
Aldridge stopped talking and waved his hand to pause the game before restarting the ball!
Well, Collina really allowed him to suspend the game!
The audience in the stands laughed and booed.
Aldrich, Aldrich, is there anyone like you?
Isn’t it just 0:2 behind?
Let Southgate be happy to win today, what's the problem?
Okay, okay, you have to communicate with your teammates, that's fine, but you damn thing actually called "timeout" openly!
This is not playing basketball!
The most amazing thing is that the game time on the big electronic screen in the stadium actually stopped!
This has gone beyond the category of "amateur" and is simply a ridiculous game!
Martin Taylor and Andy Gray have already had the urge to put down their headsets and give up live commentary, and they don't even plan to ask for appearance fees.
How does he explain this?
Tell all viewers or listeners: In the 18th minute of the game, at the request of Millwall first-team starter Aldridge Hall, the game temporarily came to a standstill. We can rest assured that this will not waste regular game time, because most of the
The still time on the screen tells us that the game is paused, and only when the game resumes will the regular game time start again, and we will be back in the game after a while!
But the audience in the stands were very happy.
This is a sad day.
Southgate is leaving.
It was the prelude to a farewell to an era for Millwall.
It was also the beginning of a landmark era after Aldridge coached Millwall.
Southgate is about to leave, and next, Nedved, Larsson, and Schneider are not far away from leaving. And such a departure, without betrayal, may not be such a glorious scene.
It will only make people who love the Lions accompany this club that was reborn under Aldrich through the "green years", the period of "pioneering and enterprising", the period of "subverting the old pattern", the period of "reshaping the Lions"
"Historical fans are filled with infinite, unspeakable sadness.
Southgate's departure is not the end of glory, but there is nothing better than being able to say goodbye in joy. Like everyone's blessings to him, his departure does not need to explore too many profound meanings.
I only left with everyone’s laughter and will be remembered by everyone. (To be continued)
