The second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals ended at the Lion King Stadium.
Unsurprisingly, East London once again fell into "chaos". Fans who left the Lion King Stadium, those crazy Lions fans who watched the game live on TV in bars and at home, appeared in groups in the streets and came to the Lions Stadium.
Surrounding the King's Stadium.
Angry fans wanted to search for the referees and even attacked Inter Milan's team bus.
After the smoke cleared, Aldridge did not attend the post-game press conference in the Lion King Stadium, which turned from hustle and bustle. He walked into the stadium, stepped on the turf, and walked aimlessly in the stadium alone.
He walked to the place where Messi was injured, walked to the penalty area line where Cristiano Ronaldo fell, squatted next to the goalpost where Schneider risked his own life and eventually caused himself to be seriously injured, walked along the inside of the sideline, and looked up at the empty stand.
The tears, anger, and despair of the Lions fans can be vaguely seen.
Finally, he reached the kick-off point in the center circle and lay down.
The deathly silent stadium, the rectangular green field, and the majestic stadium building with a full three-dimensional feel, from a bird's eye view, are like a huge coffin, burying the calm and expressionless young coach...
Closing his eyes, the world became dark. In a weightless environment, Aldrich saw that the dark space gradually turned blood red, and a lion fell suddenly, and blood filled the air and swept the entire world.
If he had not had a coaching career for the past thirteen years, had not led the Lions through ups and downs, and was just an ordinary fan like he was in his previous life, he should be able to accept everything that happened today.
In the football world, there is injustice like June Feishuang, but you have no place to complain!
Of course, bystanders can watch other people's tragedies with tepidity and remain indifferent.
If he is absolutely a realist, he will compromise and bow his head.
Go home, take a nap, condemn a few words, protest a few words, and then as time goes by. Life goes on, and everything that happened today will be forgotten by the world. The heart-breaking and painful wound at this time begins to stop bleeding,
Scarring, numbness, and finally leaving a scar that will become lighter and lighter in the future. If you don’t look at it, you won’t remember what kind of harm you have suffered.
Is this okay?
"Millwall... Millwall..."
In that blood-red world, a voice sounded. From inaudible to gradually clear, and finally shaking the heaven and earth!
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Aldridge, who was lying in the middle circle of the green field, had a struggling expression.
Not willing to give in!
Not willing to give in!
Not willing to give in!
Seven crowns in nine years!
How can I be willing to do so!
If he loses to his opponent openly, if he does make an unforgivable mistake, he will accept everything calmly!
But they lost to Inter Milan, a team that has been weak in the European war for a long time and is inferior to Millwall in all aspects.
No, it was not lost to Inter Milan.
It was lost to UEFA!
The chess piece of Inter Milan is used by UEFA to humiliate Millwall!
Kill two birds with one stone!
In addition to suppressing Millwall, it will also provoke the cooperative relationship between Millwall and Inter Milan in G14!
In my mind, Messi covered his face in tears when he came off the field, Cristiano Ronaldo with half his leg stained red with blood, Schneider who was receiving oxygen when he was carried off on a stretcher, and those die-hard fans who would always stand up to defend the crazy lion regardless of their own safety.
fan......
Aldrich kept asking himself: Can you compromise?
Can it?
Can it?
Can it be done?!
No! No! No!!!
Aldrich opened his eyes, and he saw Yiwen kneeling beside him, tenderly holding his right hand in front of his chest, tears welling up in his eyes, feeling sorry for Aldrich's right hand that was no longer bleeding but had a shocking wound.
Bonnie, Bert, and Earl, the three children had different expressions. Some cried because they were crazy lions, and some cried because of their father.
Aldrich stood up and smiled tenderly at his family. He picked up Bonnie with one hand and put his other hand on Bert's shoulder. He walked towards the tunnel of the stadium.
Next to the exit of the player tunnel, Carter was leaning against the wall smoking a cigarette with a gloomy look on his face. When Aldrich came over, he threw away the cigarette butt and stamped on it with his foot.
"As soon as the game ended, I notified everyone in the club, including the players and administrators, to ban anyone from talking to anyone."
Aldridge nodded when he heard this. Obviously, after encountering such a major emergency, Millwall needs to have a consistent attitude to the outside world, especially the post-match reaction. It needs to have a clear stance and attitude, so that it must first avoid people.
You talk a lot, you say something, he says something, you say something here, he says something there, maybe they are all complaining, but if there is no unified goal, then it is just complaining, not fighting back, not defending yourself!
After the game, Carter immediately issued a hush order to everyone in the club. Millwall did not have a representative to attend the post-match press conference. The players rested in the locker room for a while and then left one after another.
When Aldridge left the Lion King Stadium, a live reporting team from Fleet Street's major media gathered outside the stadium. They focused their cameras on the Lion King Stadium, the crowded streets, and the police maintaining law and order.
This is unusual.
After a game, there should be post-game comments, listening to what the players and coaches said, and then some celebrities or football commentators summarizing, looking forward to the future, and so on.
But now, the events happening around the Lion King Stadium are more like a beginning. The end of the game does not mean the end of the event. It seems that something is brewing.
Everything stems from Millwall's unilateral "closure".
The outside world doesn't know how they will react at the moment when their European dynasty rule is ended, especially since the controversial penalties in the game give them every reason to complain.
But now they don't have it, which makes people more and more suspicious.
Carter also drove to Aldrich's home. After putting the children to sleep, Aldrich came to the back garden of the home and sat opposite Carter. Yiwen prepared tea and snacks for them, and then left the space for them.
Two men.
Aldrich glanced at the wound on his right hand that had been carefully bandaged by Yiwen, lit a cigarette, and said calmly: "Maybe my next decision will be understood by the outside world as revenge, but that is not entirely true. The anger is only temporary.
Longer-term considerations must be running through my mind. If I don't do this, I will lose all enthusiasm for football and may be so heartbroken that I will sell the club immediately tomorrow."
Carter looked thoughtful, nodded after a while and said: "You have the right to do this because you are an idealist and do not want to bow to the vulgar and dirty reality. Yes, Millwall can compromise today and downplay everything, but in the future
What about next season? You are only 30 years old. If you coach for another 20 or 30 years in the future,
Whenever Millwall is extremely brilliant, there will be external forces beyond the scope of football competition to attack you. This will of course make you give up the idea of continuing to coach the team for 20 or 30 years, or even boycott everything about football.
The most beautiful experience of this sport has turned into helplessness and the humiliation of being oppressed."
Aldrich said softly: "Thank you for understanding."
Yes, it's not Aldridge's style to only talk about the present. In fact, when he lay in the center of the Lion King Stadium, his heart was filled with despair.
The most painful thing in the world is having your own efforts wiped out easily by others!
He put in his hard work and irreversible time, but he didn't get the rewards he deserved.
In that case, who would still be willing to pay? Who would be willing to continue to persevere?
"What are you going to do? The club is waiting for you to make a decision!"
Carter stared at Aldrich firmly.
In fact, as the club's CEO, Carter should persuade Aldridge to bow to reality, because the deal is already done, and making trouble afterward will not help, but may intensify the incident and be detrimental to Millwall.
But before he became the CEO of Millwall, he was Aldridge's best friend first. He understood Aldridge and asked Aldridge to bow his head, deny his own efforts and compromise, which was impossible!
Millwall has encountered many difficulties, ups and downs, and Aldridge has come through them all. To this day, he can no longer bow to anyone.
Aldridge was silent for ten minutes, and finally said in a deep voice: "Two things, one far and one close, let's talk about the close first. For today's game, I want revenge! Millwall is not arbitrarily manipulated by UEFA.
Chess pieces, I want the whole world to see that they messed with the people they shouldn't mess with the most! Club
We collected the disputes that occurred during the game as evidence and formed the most professional team of lawyers. Millwall went to the European Court of Arbitration for Sport to file a lawsuit. In name, we filed a lawsuit for unfair treatment during the game, but the whole world knew that
We are suing UEFA!"
Carter interjected: "Yes, the temporary change of the referee team is one of the available evidences. Secondly, to add another piece, Millwall publicly called the police to Europol, a subsidiary of the European Union, requesting Europol to investigate this game!
The European Court of Arbitration for Sport will more or less support UEFA, and we all know that in such cases, the European Court of Arbitration for Sport will
Most of the arbitration tribunals refuse to accept the case. They can then join the EU's institutions, and institutions outside sports can intervene! This is what UEFA is most afraid of! Even if it is a long-lasting lawsuit with no result, we can afford the money.
, let this game nail UEFA to the pillar of shame for a long time, and let them accept the judgment of the outside world and even the sanctions of public opinion!"
In terms of being well-informed, Aldrich is not as good as Carter, so when an idea comes up, Aldrich will now mostly consult with Carter, and Carter will improve or supplement it.
Call the police?
Aldridge really didn't expect that his thinking would still stay in the football circle and the competitive field, but Carter was more direct.
Once Millwall's complaint is sent to the European Court of Arbitration for Sport, it will officially announce its break with UEFA!
Because the normal process is that if a team is dissatisfied with a dispute over a game, the first step is to file a complaint with UEFA, which will review it internally. When the result comes out, if the club is not satisfied, it can then appeal to European Sports Arbitration.
If you are still dissatisfied with the court, you can go to the Court of Arbitration for Sports! (To be continued)
