Although the Millwall club has its own medical department, when encountering major injuries, especially those that occur on the field, players will naturally be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
Doctors in the club will rush to the hospital as soon as possible to understand the situation and discuss treatment plans with professional doctors.
Aldrich was sitting in the hospital corridor, with tears on his face and looking extremely depressed and sad.
Thump thump thump thump
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and it sounded like the crisp sound of high heels.
Melanie, who got the news in London, rushed to the hospital immediately. When she saw Aldridge sitting on a chair, she slowed down and walked in front of him, then stretched out her hand and gently hooked his neck.
His head was pressed in front of him, then he knelt down halfway, held his face and said softly: "He will be fine."
Aldrich closed his eyes and hugged her waist with his hands, getting tighter and tighter...
After a while, Melanie sat down next to him, turned off her phone, and stayed with him until late at night.
The hospital's inspection report came out, and Thompson, the club's medical director, told Aldrich the situation with a stern face.
Neil had to have surgery and his cruciate ligament was ruptured.
This surgery is difficult and has a high risk of failure.
Aldrich could do nothing but remain silent.
When Neil woke up, Aldrich was sitting in the ward. When Neil opened his eyes and saw Aldrich, the first thing he asked made Aldrich feel like a knife.
"Boss, have we won?"
Aldridge burst into tears, squeezed out a smile and nodded: "We won, Pavel and the others have been here, you see. They sent you many flowers, and they said they would wait for you to return to the team. Our
The road has just begun, you can’t fall behind.”
A smile appeared on Neil's pale face and he said: "Of course. I won't be left behind. Am I seriously injured?"
Aldridge shook his head and said: "It's not serious. You can recover with just one operation, but the rest time will be longer. You must cheer up and face it with strength, Lucas. You are one of the best in the team."
You are a tough guy, and you must not be laughed at by your teammates. The team will wait for you, and I will wait for you to come back."
"oh."
After hearing Aldrich's words, Neil actually knew in his heart whether his injury was serious or not.
This made him a little frustrated.
Aldridge can't expect Neal to cheer up with just a few words at this time. For players, there will be a period of depression in the early stages of injury. This is normal, but during the recovery period, the entire person's mentality must be positive.
This will help players return to the game.
Aldridge notified his family and will visit him regularly, as well as his teammates, who will continue to encourage him.
Aldrich left the hospital the next morning with Melanie by his side.
After going home and resting all morning, when he returned to the club in the afternoon, Adam came to him directly with a very ugly look on his face.
"After yesterday's game, the whole of East London was in chaos. The chaos lasted until the middle of the night. The police arrested many fans, most of whom were our fans. The Football Association announced that they would investigate the stadium riots. We are likely to face the closure of the remaining home games.
Penalties from the stands. In addition, the boss and the other two coaches may also face fines, and the fines will not be small."
Aldrich sat in the back of the office with his eyes closed and meditating. There was silence in the office. You could hear a pin drop.
After about ten minutes, Aldrich said calmly: "Study the game video and make a list of which fans in the stands took the initiative to stir up trouble. If an extreme fan organization is involved, investigate them clearly. In addition, if there are any troubles outside the stadium,
Or, go to the police station to find out the situation. It’s not necessarily Millwall fans who are causing such a violent fuss.”
Adam nodded to express his understanding, then asked: "What about the FA?"
"The club compiles a written material and submits it to complain to the referee Barry Knight and the coaching staff about the suspension. If there is no additional suspension, there will be no appeal. If the suspension is additional, let's talk about it."
After Aldrich said this, he asked Adam to go to work. He needed some quiet time. Although Melanie was with him at home, he didn't want to listen to others comforting him at this time because he was worried about others, Neil.
After the East London derby, Millwall will face the FA Cup quarter-finals in midweek, against Newcastle United.
Aldridge forced himself to work to make himself forget his sadness. After this round of games, the Premier League standings underwent surprising changes.
Newcastle United visited Anfield and played an earth-shattering 4:3. The home team was in front and the Red Army defeated the Magpies. The scene of Kevin Keegan burying his head behind the billboard became a classic scene again. Of course, this is
A negative classic.
The Premier League has become lively now. After Manchester United defeated Newcastle United in an away game last month, Newcastle United has a tendency to collapse. With five rounds left in the league, Manchester United is only two points behind Newcastle United. Mir
The gap between Wall and Newcastle United is only three points.
The schedule is most beneficial to Manchester United, because Manchester United has played against Millwall and Newcastle United, but Millwall has to play away against the Magpies in the penultimate round of the league.
Since Cantona's comeback, especially in the second half of the league, starting in February, Manchester United has been in full swing under the leadership of the King at Old Trafford and has not lost a single game in more than two months.
The Premier League title race has become intense, with the last five league games left. All three teams may win the championship, but Millwall has generated a lot of negative news due to the East London derby, making their future uncertain in the final sprint.
At Tuesday's FA Cup pre-match press conference, reporters' questions focused on the league.
The FA was in a tizzy because Aldridge not only accused West Ham of being dirty at the press conference, but also accused Barry Knight of poor enforcement.
Times reporter David Miller asked Aldrich a question that silenced the room.
"Mr. Hall, you once said in an interview that if riots occurred at Millwall's home ground, you would not condone such behavior. So now, as the owner of Millwall, how will you use your power?
?”
The reporters in the audience stared at Aldridge to see how he would answer.
Many people are gloating in their hearts, thinking that Aldridge was showing off a few months ago, thinking that his fans are good birds, and if he says it out loud, it will be irreversible. Now let’s see how he ends up.
Aldridge slowly picked up a document, opened it, and read softly: "Millwall conducted an investigation into the fan riots that occurred at home in the last round of the league, and made the following decision based on verifying the facts, because
Due to privacy issues, I cannot publish the names of fans or fan organizations. What I can tell you is that Millwall will ban 238 perpetrators of riots in the stands from entering the Lion's Den for the next three years. You have purchased this copy
We will refund the remaining season tickets
At the same time, there are three fan organizations that I have judged to be extremist organizations, which have seriously affected the order of the stands. The Lions Den Stadium prohibits members of these three fan organizations from entering the stadium. This decision is permanent. Millwall
The long-term development goal is to ensure the safety and comfort of fans attending games. We welcome fans who support us to come to the stadium and cheer for us, but we cannot accept fans who cause trouble in the stands and affect the personal safety of others. Thank you.
That concludes today’s press conference.”
After Aldrich finished speaking, he picked up the documents and turned around to leave.
The reporters in the audience raised their hands and kept calling his name, wanting to ask more questions.
After confirming that Aldrich would not look back, the reporters all put down their hands and looked at each other, with various expressions on their faces for a while.
Seriously?
Aldrich is really going against the fans!
Isn't this tantamount to cutting off one's own means of making money?
Fans entering the stadium to watch the game are giving money to Millwall.
On this matter, Aldrich thought very clearly and could not be lenient.
Among the three extreme fan organizations, the most violent one was the BushWackers, who deliberately sat in the seats closest to West Ham United fans in the East London Derby, just waiting for the opportunity to have a fight with West Ham United.
Fans like this who usually don't support every game. Aldridge feels that they are just making trouble under the banner of banner, and most Millwall fans become violent because they are influenced by this organized extremist organization.
.
When you are in that noisy and confrontational environment, usually rational people will be infected by the people around you. Someone taking the lead is like a prairie fire. If it is not extinguished in time, the fire will soar into the sky and cannot be contained.
To solve the problem, we must punish the root cause and eliminate the culprit. Bland condemnation has no binding force at all.
Members of three extreme fan groups were banned from entering the venue and those groups have been blacklisted by Millwall.
As soon as Millwall's penalty decision was announced that day, it immediately aroused a hostile reaction from the fans. In particular, fans of these three extreme groups led more than a hundred people to surround Aldridge's apartment. They held up protest banners.
Shout into the apartment and ask Aldrich to come out and give them an explanation.
Aldrich wore headphones at home, listened to music and read a book, not caring about what was happening outside.
That night, Andrew was sitting in the back row of a movie theater in London watching a boring romance movie. There were not many people in the movie theater. They were just couples, each sitting in a dark corner making love to each other.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing a coat and hat sat next to Andrew and whispered: "Mr. Hall, why did you ask me to meet here? If you want to intercede for the fans who are making trouble, I'm sorry.
I can't do it."
Andrew stared straight ahead at the big screen in the movie and said calmly: "Director Trand, you are wrong. I am not interceding for them. There is a box under my seat, and there is a document in it with some people's names on it.
and information, my brother hopes the London police can
In order to better maintain law and order in East London, so try your best to make these people good citizens. If they can't do it, please do it according to the law. There is not enough space in London's detention center or prison. The Hall family can do it for society.
Stabilize and contribute to building new prisons.”
Trand's mind was a little confused. After hesitating for a moment, he said in an official tone: "Of course we will do our job well."
"Okay, please don't disappoint us. We hope to see a stable and peaceful East London. This movie is not bad, but it's just a bit platonic. I can't stand it anymore. Goodbye."
Andrew got up, put on his windbreaker, put his hands in his pockets, and left quietly.
Trand bent down and found a suitcase from under the seat. He opened it on his lap and looked down. He was shocked.
Inside the box, there was one hundred thousand pounds, and a document was buried under the money.
Bang.
Trand immediately closed the box and looked left and right to make sure no one had seen him or jumped out to steal the stolen goods and catch him taking bribes.
After struggling fiercely for a period of time, Trand took the box and secretly left the cinema through another exit.
Taking people's money to help them out of trouble, and what they did was not illegal, but the Hall family just encouraged Trand to do his job better.
