The Millwall press room became extremely chaotic after Aldridge's arrival.
But after Aldrich raised his hands to make a quiet gesture, the scene quickly stabilized.
Before sitting down, Aldridge said calmly: "Today's press conference has two parts. The first part is to answer questions about Millwall's Champions League game the day before yesterday. The second part is outside the game. First of all,
In this section, I will try my best to answer questions from the outside world, please keep order."
After saying this, he sat down. Everyone in the audience quickly raised their hands, and the press officer chose the reporter who represented the BBC to sit in the front row.
The reporter asked: "Sir Hall, regarding the controversial penalties that occurred in the Champions League game, first, when Messi was injured, the referee called Kaká's goal, but did not show a yellow card to Cordoba. Second
Second, Ronaldo's good goal was disallowed. Third, Ronaldo was tackled on the penalty area line but was shown a second yellow card and sent off. Fourth, Inter Milan players were fouled by the referee for multiple obvious fouls throughout the game.
Ignore.”
After five seconds of silence, Aldridge said loudly: "First of all, the overall enforcement level of the referee team in that game was amateurish and full of doubts. They came to the game with an obvious stance against Millwall and became the protagonist.
.Messi was injured by a tackle. The referee can give us an advantage by not calling a foul, so Kaká’s goal should be valid.
, but since he blew it, and regardless of the seriousness of Cordoba’s foul action and the offensive benefits we gained as an attacker, Cordoba should at least get a yellow card, but the referee did not show a yellow card.
The tone was set for the whole game. Later on, the situation got out of control and the players made unusual foul moves. It seemed to be a normal thing.
There is no problem with Ronaldo's goal. I don't think the ball needs to be watched repeatedly to discuss whether Ronaldo was offside or not. It's obvious at first glance. Why did the linesman raise the flag? I don't know. But I will doubt it! The referee
The team doesn't want Millwall to win at all!
This was further confirmed when Ronaldo was sent off after being tackled by Maicon on the penalty area line.
If the referee did not call Maicon a foul and let the game continue, I can still convince myself, but he called Ronaldo a diving penalty?
Hahaha, this is simply the most ridiculous thing.
On the court, there are players who will kick or shovel on the opponent's legs!
So, shouldn’t players who are kicked or shoveled have self-protection awareness and reactions?
In this case, there are only three options.
First, kick back and see who gets injured. This is of course not allowed in football matches, so Ronaldo did not do that.
Second, standing there without avoiding, letting the opponent kick, and allowing yourself to bear the risk of injury, serious injury, broken legs, farewell to the professional arena, or even becoming disabled. Not hiding or avoiding is not a warrior, but a fool. Sorry, Ronaldo is
A smart young man made his last choice.
That is avoidance, which is the most basic self-protection reaction, but unfortunately, he did not completely avoid it, and he was still kicked. The open wound on his right leg at that time proved that he was indeed kicked!
The referee not only ignored such obvious evidence, but also gave Ronaldo a red card.
I can't believe there is any explanation other than that the referees didn't want Millwall to win."
There has been the most direct positive response to the controversial part of the game.
Aldridge targeted the referees!
The reporters in the audience immediately raised their hands to ask questions. The press officer indicated that the second reporter could ask questions.
"We saw the irrational behavior of Millwall players during the game, including De Rossi taking the lead and almost triggering a large-scale conflict between the two teams, as well as your physical violation of the fourth official on the sidelines, and Millwall fans.
He rushed into the stadium in an attempt to threaten the referee's personal safety, and after the game, fans caused riots in the streets. How do you explain this?"
Aldridge was silent for a few more seconds, and then said loudly: "Everything cannot be viewed separately! Because from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, the center of events that can really affect the three roles and groups of me, the players, and the fans is the game!
We focused all our attention on the game. Millwall did not play to cause trouble. If it had been to cause trouble, we would not be where we are today! We would not have the largest fan base in the world! Let me reiterate, yes
The referee team, as the referee in the green field
The black marshals did not guide the game from a fair and equitable stance. They made the situation get out of control and caused Millwall to suffer huge losses. Will I apologize for my behavior? No! Why should I apologize? That game
The referee team is the murderer
! They murdered the game, they succeeded, and let Millwall fall in the last 16 of the Champions League. Haha, I will be angry, why wouldn’t I be angry? When you encounter injustice? What will you do? Will you swallow your anger? Or you will say
, I should complain to UEFA!
Sorry, now I'm not sure whether it will be useful to complain to UEFA, because that game had a strange feeling before the game. The referee team that was supposed to officiate the game was suddenly replaced. UEFA's explanation was that it was scheduled
The referee team is unwell. Haha, I don't accept this explanation! Millwall doesn't accept it either! UEFA accuses Millwall of management negligence. I want to ask: When UEFA fails in their duties, who can sanction them?"
As soon as Aldrich finished speaking, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Just now, I was blaming the referee team, but now I am targeting UEFA!
The young commander's reaction was more intense than they imagined!
While all the reporters were in shock, Aldridge continued: "The first part is over, and there is nothing to talk about in the game. Millwall was conspired to kill the opportunity to defend the Champions League consecutively. This reminds me of UEFA's request for restitution."
The media joked about the authentic UEFA Champions League trophy: UEFA is having a headache, what should they do if Millwall wins the Champions League for the fourth consecutive time?
None of that matters anymore.
Now, I have something to announce outside of the competition.
UEFA's fine was faxed to Millwall today.
Millwall's response to all UEFA penalties is: Not accepted!
If in the society we live in, a group of thugs suddenly appear to cause harm to you, and you still suffer huge losses after fighting back, but the people in power come to accuse you of guilt because you fought back, haha, what if this is
It’s acceptable, so why don’t we become thugs?”
"Sir Hall, will Millwall appeal?"
A reporter in the audience asked loudly without permission. It was probably because everyone was in a tense moment and forgot the rules.
Aldrich said calmly: "We don't accept questions at this stage, but since you said it, I will answer it once, and I won't do it next time. We will not appeal. As for the reason, you will understand later.
In view of the significant stance bias of the referee team during the game, and the subjective judgment of Millwall that resulted in enforcement errors!
Millwall has reason to doubt the innocence of the referee team. Just like me, I will wonder if they are involved in betting? Are they trying to make a fortune by officiating this game? As far as I know, Inter Milan advanced to the Champions League.
The return rate for the top 8 is amazing.
Therefore, Millwall has compiled a material this afternoon, represented by a team of lawyers hired by the club, to seek assistance from the European Union. We have contacted Europol, hoping that they will investigate whether the referee team is guilty!
At the same time, we will file a lawsuit with the European Court of Arbitration for Sport because UEFA made a major mistake in organizing the Champions League match! We require an investigation into that match, all relevant personnel must prove their innocence, and finally require UEFA to compensate Millwall Conservatives
Economic losses estimated at £100 million!”
After Aldrich finished speaking.
The scene was completely silent.
Shocking!
All the reporters were confused and thought that everything that happened before them was unreal!
Is Aldrich crazy?
Not only did he break up with UEFA, but he also went to report the case! He also sued UEFA!
Claiming £100 million?
Oh, this is true. Millwall can just fiddle with a financial report and ask for an exorbitant price. You don't need to take it seriously, but when it comes to losses, discounted, it must be 50 million pounds.
When everyone was shocked and speechless, Aldrich dropped another bombshell!
"For a long time, Millwall has been participating in football in a fair and equitable spirit of competitive sports. I believe that the most fundamental foundation of a sports competition is fairness. As the most influential club competition in football that attracts global attention, the Champions League has
There has been a phenomenon that has brought shame to this event, which has undoubtedly affected many people's love for football. As a practitioner, I feel extremely regretful and sad about this.
If there is no guarantee of a fair competitive environment, what meaning does this sport have? Will it become a tool for those in power to make money? Or will it be a stepping stone to realize their ambitions? I don’t know, I only know that that game overturned me
Regarding football, even though there have been many match-fixing cases and controversial matches in the past, I try my best to accept it rationally and tolerate other people's mistakes.
But this time, I couldn't understand what happened in that game.
Referring to UEFA's statement today, we believe that since we cannot get fairness under UEFA's control, we can only seek help from the outside world. Now, we hope that the EU can intervene and give me a solution that allows me to sleep peacefully.
Explain, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport should also give justice to Millwall!
Until the above matters are resolved, as the owner of Millwall Club, I announce that Millwall will withdraw from UEFA competitions indefinitely!"
boom!
Of all the reporters at the scene, those who were standing almost fell down, while those who were sitting stood up in shock! (To be continued)
