Thanks to "The Thief" and "Purple Dawn" for the reward!
--------------------------
The night-filled city of Turin is full of charming colors. As a famous car city in Europe, this city is a product of the combination of modernity and classics.
Aldrich sat in the taxi and watched the city scenery here, without taking Brady's distress text message seriously.
But when he got out of the car and walked into the police station, he realized that things were not what he imagined.
Turin police asked him about his identity, and Aldridge said he was the owner and manager of Millwall.
The forty-year-old Italian policeman curiously asked him to take out his ID. Aldrich took out his wallet, took out his ID from it, and then led by another policeman to the place where Brady and the others were temporarily detained.
On the way, Aldrich curiously asked the policeman who was leading the way about the cause and course of the incident.
"What laws did they break in Turin?"
"They are football hooligans."
"Ah? Are they making trouble?"
"Originally not, but when we wanted to deport them, they jointly protested and refused to cooperate with our work, so they were temporarily detained. After a while, they will wait for the two sides after the Juventus and Millwall game.
Once the fans go home, they can be released."
Aldrich's face turned ugly when he heard this, and asked: "They haven't done anything, so you are going to deport them?"
"Yes, because they are football hooligans."
"They didn't do anything, how do you know they are football hooligans?"
"This is our police job. It has nothing to do with you. Here we are."
Aldridge was taken to the corridor. Through the door and window, he saw that the detention room was full of people. Brady, Fred, and Saul were leaning against the wall. The three of them were dressed in the same way as the others, wearing Millwall jerseys.
, with club scarves hanging around their necks, and some holding rolled-up flags in their hands.
Judging from the time of Brady's text messages and phone calls to him, they were both about half an hour before the start of the game. By that time, Aldridge had already entered the game state and would never let the phone distract him, so the phone was silent.
mode, not even vibration.
Then their mobile phones were confiscated.
If the police judge them as football hooligans, this can avoid causing riots. As for whether they have power, they will be treated differently. In this country called the free world, there is no absolute sense of equality and freedom.
When the police opened the door, they used their batons to warn the people inside not to act rashly.
But when Brady and the others saw Aldridge, they immediately pounced on him.
"Have we advanced?"
A group of people gathered in front of Aldrich and asked with anxious faces.
Aldridge smiled and nodded: "1:1. We eliminated Juventus with a total score of 3:2."
"yeah!"
The crowd burst into loud cheers. Brady hugged Aldridge and kissed him on the face. Others followed suit and rushed to kiss Aldrich.
Aldrich was so frightened that he backed away. At this moment, a policeman ran up the corridor, pointed at Aldrich and said to the policeman leading the way: "He is also a football hooligan, lock him up first!"
Aldrich understood Italian. Before he could turn around, he was pushed by the police. He stumbled into the detention room. Then the door was closed. Aldrich slapped the door in disbelief and shouted: "Hey, there's something wrong."
Is that right? I'm a football hooligan? I'm the manager of Millwall! Don't you really know who I am? Check out the football newspapers. Did you watch the live TV broadcast of the game just now? I must have appeared on the TV screen.
!”
The door opened, and the police outside said coldly: "We don't watch the Juventus game, we are Turin fans, the whole family is, stop making noise, I will let you go in two hours, don't make trouble."
"
Aldrich was so angry that his face was livid. No matter what he said, no one responded.
Brady smiled at him from behind and said, "Stop shouting, they won't pay attention to you. What were you talking about to them just now?"
"I told them I was the coach, but they were Turin fans and didn't care about Juventus news."
"Oh, you have some backbone, I admire this kind of fans."
Aldridge rolled his eyes at him and chuckled: "Do you think these Turin fans are the same as Millwall fans? They are loyal even if the team is unknown?"
Brady and the others looked at each other and asked, "Isn't it?"
"That's bullshit! When Turin swept through Italy, Juventus was nothing. When Turin was great, 9 of the 11 main players were members of the Italian national team. Unfortunately, an air crash severely damaged Turin's vitality.
,Juventus
Turin has just emerged in this city. Compared with history, Turin has more foundation than Millwall. Unfortunately, Turin is not Manchester United. If Turin can make a comeback after the plane crash, haha, one of the three giants in northern Italy, who is it?
With whom?"
Brady and others just listened to it, treating it as a story.
Aldrich sat down against the wall, rubbed his head and felt unlucky.
"Why were you imprisoned too?"
Fred asked curiously.
Aldridge sighed in a low voice: "They say I am a football hooligan, just like you. Speaking of which, what on earth did you do?"
Sol immediately shouted excitedly: "We didn't do anything! Just like before, we arrived in Turin in a hurry, and then we were refused entry by the police when we entered the stadium. Many of us were accused of being football hooligans. They
Many buses were prepared, and many of our companions were directly put on the buses and sent away. Of course we didn’t agree, so we resisted, and then we ended up here.”
Aldrich touched his pocket and saw that the other party had just locked him in without confiscating his cell phone, so he called Jensen and asked him to come and save him.
After he finished the phone call, Brady and others felt relaxed. They came to watch the game. The game was over and they had obtained the most desired result. Suddenly, their mentality became that of taking things as they come.
"Hey Aldridge, what on earth is going on? Is it a conspiracy by Juventus? It prevents us from entering the stadium to cheer for the team."
Brady lit a cigarette and handed it to Aldridge. Aldridge took it and took a puff, and found that many fans nearby looked at him in surprise.
Although they are members of the Roar Fans Organization, they really don't have the opportunity to get close to Aldrich. The club will talk to representatives of the fan organization every month, and the Roar Fans Organization may not be selected every time.
Aldridge grinned and said: "I'm not a player, what's wrong with smoking a cigarette? It doesn't matter to me. You didn't go to watch the game today. If you did, you would know that men smoke cigars that taste the best.
Who is the person?"
"who?"
"Lippi."
"The head coach of Juventus?"
"Yes, I was directing the team from the sidelines, and he was sitting there smoking a cigar. It made me want to punch him, but I was very envious in my heart. He has a kind of elegance that I can't imitate."
Brady sneered: "What's the use? It's not like losing to us crazy lions."
Aldrich shook his head and said, "You will know what happened when you go back and watch the game video."
"Let's get down to business. Do you know what's going on?"
Aldridge's expression became a little solemn and he said softly: "Do you know what the reputation of English fans is in Europe?"
Everyone was silent when this was mentioned.
To be honest, although England's fan culture is profound and has been imitated by fans around the world.
But in this era, English fans are notorious in Europe, especially in Italy.
People look at English fans with discrimination and even resentment. 99.9% of fans are law-abiding, but they are still considered football hooligans.
Pay off the debt!
The current generation of English fans must repay a debt to the notorious football hooligans of the past era!
It is true that football hooligans have been rampant in England for a long time, with constant riots and troubles, and even tragedies like the Heysel tragedy have occurred. Especially Belgian and Italian fans, I am afraid they will never be able to forgive the football hooligans in England. They have caused the two countries to
The deaths of innocent fans turned Heysel into a living hell.
More than ten years later, English fans enjoy "second-class citizen" treatment in Europe.
Aldridge said in a serious tone: "You should all know how other clubs arrange their fans for European competitions, right?"
When Brady mentioned this, he nodded with a serious expression. A fan in the crowd sneered: "Manchester United is like a vampire. Fans want to go to an away game to cheer for the team, but they have to pay three times more than the normal fee. It's just a good name."
Away package, go to hell! Mr. Hall, you are admirable in this regard. You have not imitated Manchester United, otherwise we would also protest and resist."
Aldridge sighed softly. The away package is provided to fans by English clubs competing in European competitions. This package bundles round-trip air tickets, game tickets, and travel expenses. It is about three times higher than normal consumption. If fans
If you do not accept it, you will not be able to purchase away tickets from the club. This away game is only a European match abroad.
The origin of this model is that when English fans go to other European countries with their teams to play away games, they will be attacked by some extremists. In order to ensure the safety of fans, the club makes unified arrangements to facilitate management.
But this lacks humanity, and it’s natural that fans won’t accept it. They spend a sky-high fee, and end up getting on the plane, getting off the plane, taking a car to the stadium, watching the game, then taking a car to the airport, and flying back to the UK.
We don’t even have the opportunity to visit exotic scenery or taste delicious food. Who would be willing to be taken advantage of?
Millwall did not adopt this "away package". Instead, when selling tickets for away games in European games, they negotiated with the opponent club in advance and asked the other party to completely separate the seats for the away team fans from the home team fans.
During the game, fans from both sides will not clash in the stands.
Are there still football hooligans at Millwall?
Maybe there are, but there is no such organization that can appear blatantly in the stands.
In addition to the team's matches in the Premier League that have attracted much attention, the police are maintaining the order of the games. After two or three years of vigorous rectification, Millwall's former football hooligans have either disappeared or moved to the stands of loosely managed lower-level teams to cause trouble.
, plus Aldridge once asked Andrew to bribe the chief of the London Police Department and nailed many major football hooligans. Now Millwall fans are fanatical, passionate, rational, and elegant, but they are not intentional.
Going to cause trouble.
Therefore, Millwall played in the group stage and visited Barcelona, Eindhoven, and Dynamo Kiev. The fan groups were all at peace with each other, and there were no safety risks.
So why did the Italian police decide that Millwall fans were football hooligans?
Aldrich thought of a possibility.
The opponent has a list in his hand, a list of football hooligans.
The initiator of this list is undoubtedly the British police.
Going further back, the source is the Iron Lady, Mrs. Thatcher.
During her time in power, she severely cracked down on football hooligans and issued a banning order euphemistically. The target of the attack was "I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than spare one person!" (To be continued...)
