In England, to measure a fan's loyalty, going to an away game to support the team is a criterion and benchmark. Compared with football hooligans who don't care about football and only want to vent violence under the guise of games, real fan organizations will organize fans
Heading to an away game to support their beloved team.
Although the "Lion's Roar" fan organization has not been established for a long time, Brady still organized a team of more than 200 people to go to North Yorkshire. After the last home victory over Luton, more fans joined the "Lion's Roar"
As the leader of the organization, Brady quickly established an image among the fans and standardized the code of conduct within the fan organization. At least fighting and drinking are strictly prohibited.
After the Taylor Report was released, Middlesbrough also built a new stadium, but the plan is to open it next summer: the Riverside Stadium.
The 1994/95 season was Middlesbrough's last season at Ayersham Park. After the stadium was converted into seats, the capacity was only a little over 20,000. However, the historical significance of this stadium is not small. In 1966, the local stadium
The World Cup, Ayersham Park and Sunderland's Logga Park are both host venues in the Northeast Division.
Brady and his group of more than 200 people, wearing Millwall's dark blue jerseys, arrived outside the Aiyasumei Park Stadium and walked in from the visiting team entrance under the guidance. They stood in the stands in an orderly manner and did not sit down.
It is customary for the fans of the home and away teams to be separated. The Middlesbrough fans who were relatively close to the visiting team's fans' stands looked nervously at Brady and the others.
The Millwall thugs are coming!
Millwall's hooligans never stopped here last season. During the game, they exchanged insults with Middlesbrough fans, provoked them, and even threw objects at each other.
Almost no club in England welcomes Millwall fans.
It's no wonder that the fans of the home team feel like they are facing a formidable enemy and are always ready to counterattack Millwall's provocation.
But today they were surprised to see these young fans standing in the visiting team's fans' stand. They held their heads high and suddenly sang a team song with a rock rhythm, which was uniform and very dynamic.
"No matter where you go, we will be with you until death!"
"No one likes it, we don't care!"
...
The old-fashioned stadium in England is inherently small, but the singing of more than two hundred people easily spread throughout the entire Aiya Sumei Park stadium.
Middlesbrough fans were mostly relieved.
Just sing, as long as you don't cause trouble and just watch the football.
Not long after, the Middlesbrough fans also started singing. Before the game started, the battle between the fans began implicitly in the singing.
When the players from both teams were preparing to take the field, Aldridge had already come to the sidelines, and he could clearly hear the singing of the Millwall fans.
The song "No one likes it, we don't care" is actually very good in terms of the song itself, but the slogan is also a bit extreme. It is stubborn and has an indomitable will, which is different from their mortal enemy West Ham
United are in sharp contrast. Hammers fans are always singing that they are blowing bubbles, which is an optimistic and positive attitude.
Maybe this is the charm beyond football.
East London has been in decline since World War II. Compared with West London and the prosperity of North London, people in southeast London are either unyielding or optimistic.
Middlesbrough's head coach also came out. Bryan Robson obviously had no intention of playing today. He was fully dressed and walked towards the visiting team's coaching bench first with steady steps.
As the head coach of the home team, there is nothing wrong with saying hello to the head coach of the visiting team before the game. It is considered a kind of etiquette of hospitality on the court. It is normal for head coaches who have a relationship to chat before a game.
The match between Middlesbrough and Millwall was just a normal game, and there was nothing wrong with exchanging greetings.
"Mr. Hall, that old man Ferguson asked me to be a hundred times more careful with you."
Bryan Robson smiled and stretched out his hand towards Aldrich. Aldridge smiled back, shook the opponent's big hand, then leaned forward and whispered: "Did that old fox take a fancy to my player?"
Aldridge didn't believe that Ferguson would target his team for no reason. Although there were two players on loan from Manchester United in the team, in the English League, Aldridge's main lineup included Beckham and Neville.
He can't even make it to the substitute list, so why is there only five substitute players in England now?
In addition, Manchester United is not in good shape this season. Aldridge, who occasionally follows Premier League news, knows that Manchester United is in a transitional period of upgrading and replacement. If Ferguson can say such things to Robson, it is probably because he is following Millwall.
Just a few new players.
Bryan Robson was a little surprised, but he nodded and smiled: "Yes, the old man is very interested in Millwall's Henrik Larsson."
Aldridge raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing in his heart that Manchester United's strike partner is now Cantona and Mark Hughes, but Mark Hughes is already over 30 years old and his scoring efficiency is not as good as before. Manchester United needs a new striker.
This is no longer a secret.
"Eh? Didn't he fall in love with Andy Cole? Why are you still targeting my players?"
Bryan Robson smiled bitterly and said: "Newcastle United's asking price is too high. That bastard Keegan will not let the old man's wish come true."
Aldridge nodded to express his understanding. The feud between Kevin Keegan and Ferguson had already spread throughout England. Who gave Keegan the blood of Liverpool?
Larsson's scoring efficiency in English League One is astonishing, and his performance on the court cannot be said to have exceeded expectations. After all, his transfer fee was considered a major signing this summer. Was he spotted by Ferguson?
Aldridge winked at Bryan Robson and said softly: "Well, let's see after this season is over. Maybe Larson will be a free agent at the end of the season."
Bryan Robson's eyes widened in surprise, feeling incredible!
Millwall spent a lot of money to bring in such an efficient forward, but only for one season?
But he didn't ask any more questions. The two looked at each other and smiled before Robson turned and walked back to the home team's coaching bench.
Aldridge pursed his lips and smiled lowly. He couldn't stop Manchester United from poaching people, but he could set up many obstacles for Manchester United, including players' salaries.
As long as he is promoted this season, Larson's weekly salary will be tens of thousands, and Aldrich will sign a new contract with all the club's players next summer. After all, the end of next year will be the time for the Bosman Act to be implemented. Next year
In the summer, he will use long-term contracts to firmly hold the players in his hands.
As for Manchester United's salary system, I'm sorry, Manchester United is now a listed company, and the club's operations are in a corporate era. Football clubs are responsible to shareholders, and salary expenditures are strictly controlled. It is rumored that after Cantona retired, he also followed the contract salary.
Not being satisfied has a lot to do with it.
Today's game is the battle for the top spot in English League One, and the evening TV broadcast is also the highlight.
When the players came on the field, the commentator passionately began to introduce the lineups of both teams.
"Welcome to Aiya Sumei Park Stadium, where tonight there will be a battle at the top of the English League One. The two teams are against two teams that have performed unexpectedly this season. Middles, who ranked ninth in the league last season,
This season, under the leadership of new coach Brian Robson, Fortuna achieved a good record of six wins, two draws and one loss in the first nine rounds of the league. But what is even more unexpected is that before the season, various experts predicted that Mill was the favorite to be relegated.
However, Wall ranked first after nine rounds of the league. Like Middlesbrough, they only lost one game and drew two in the first nine rounds of the league. Their number of goals ranked second in the League One, only better than firepower.
The more powerful Wolves lost one goal, but their defense seemed impeccable. They only conceded two goals in nine rounds of the league. It was so surprising. The 18-year-old head coach Aldrich Hall will bring his
What kind of history can the boys create this season? This is what everyone is concerned about now, and today's game will be a real test for Millwall!"
Aldridge looked at Middlesbrough's starting eleven and it was no different than what he had predicted in the pre-match preparation meeting.
This is the limitation of Bryan Robson as the coach, who can only make a living by looking at the food. It is difficult to have surprise players in the lineup, so he can only set up the most stable and powerful lineup.
Middlesbrough lacks capable midfielders, but has many capable defenders, so Bryan Robson can only set up a five-back formation and move the full midfielder to the central midfielder position.
, giving the central midfielder more space to move almost freely in the frontcourt.
In any case, such a tactical formation arrangement is helpless, but it is also reasonable. If Aldrich is replaced, I am afraid that no better changes can be made, especially the age of these players, it is difficult to change their playing style and style.
Habit.
"Middlesbrough, who are playing at home, are wearing traditional red jerseys today. Their starting players are: goalkeeper: Alan Miller, defenders: Curtis Fleming, Durek White, Nigel Pearson
, Steve Wicks, Neil Cowes, Midfielder: Clayton Blackmore, Robbie Musto, Craig Hignett, Forward: Thirty-year-old John-
Hendry partners with twenty-year-old Graham Kavanagh."
"Let's take a look at Millwall's starting lineup in blue jerseys. The average age of their lineup is about four years younger than that of Middlesbrough. Goalkeeper: Casserly Keller, defender: Lilian Thuram
, Gareth Southgate, Jaap Stam, Lucas Neal, Midfielder: Bernd Schneider, Claude Makelele, Pavel Nedved,
Robert Pires, forward: Henrik Larsson, David Trezeguet. It is worth noting that the striker combination of Larsson and Trezeguet has the most goals in the English League.
, and they are still very young, let’s see what they can do in front of Middlesbrough’s tenacious defense today. Audience friends, this round of the League One top battle is about to begin, and Millwall kicks off first!”
As the referee blew his whistle, Trezeguet flicked the ball under his feet, and Larsson kicked the ball into the backcourt.
In the tenth round of English League One, the battle for the top spot begins!
