The head referee does not have the power to decide the result of the game, but he has the power to decide whether the game continues. Based on his own judgment, he can terminate the game, no matter how many minutes the game lasts.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines, with hundreds of Leeds United fans imitating monkey calls in the stands in front of him. Gradually, some Leeds United fans around them took the initiative to walk away, as if they did not want to be with that group of people.
Each team has many fan organizations, but the nature of fan organizations is not uniform. For example, Millwall also has football hooligan organizations. They were the main force in tit-for-tat fights with West Ham United in the past, but they were eliminated a few years ago.
It has collapsed. In addition to Millwall being promoted to the Premier League and being blacklisted by the Football Association, with the rise of Millwall's own influence and the expansion of its fan base, such rogue organizations have been marginalized and cannot be said to have completely disappeared, but
But it is difficult to make waves.
Leeds United fans themselves are not known for being football hooligans, but their negative characteristics are racial discrimination.
Aldridge is not interested in studying the local humanistic composition of Leeds. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Europe, not to mention it is universal. Italy and Spain have repeatedly banned it, and even examples of fan groups going against the trend and committing crimes are not uncommon.
The traditional characteristics of football hooligans are riots in the stands and brawls outside the field. It doesn't matter how the game goes. The pursuit of catharsis is to throw your arms and have a fight. Fans come to the stadium to watch football for personal pursuits. Some simply enjoy the game.
Some are chasing stars, some are here to vent their anger through shouting
An important social responsibility of football, a boring and popular sport, is to allow the public to vent their emotions in a reasonable and legal way. Before British football vigorously advocated this, its background and root was also the "sexual repression" of the entire society. The upper levels of the country guided football to become a popular sport.
Vent.
Football hooligans use violence to vent their anger. Racists can also find a way to vent themselves here, and they can also use the twisted sense of "defending white supremacy" as a shield.
The referee walked up to Aldrich and ordered him to return to the visiting team's coaching bench and not to provoke the fans here.
Aldridge raised his right hand and stretched it towards the direction of the stands, saying calmly: "If they don't stop this insulting behavior, Millwall will leave the game. If UEFA rules that Millwall will be eliminated, it can. Millwall will never participate in the European Cup."
Continental competition organized by the Football Federation.”
After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the coaching bench.
He said harsh words and had a firm attitude.
Not to mention that there is nothing wrong with Millwall in the current situation. Which one is more important in terms of the brand value of UEFA between Leeds United and Millwall?
Moreover, Millwall is also a member of the G14!
Ronaldinho was fouled and racially profiled by an opponent's player, and the fans of the home team in this stadium once again erupted into large-scale racial discrimination.
It’s really a mess. Will UEFA dare to protect Leeds United?
Racial discrimination definitely goes beyond football. In the dissemination and guidance of universal human values, will UEFA be a negative example?
The referee does not feel that Aldrich is threatening him. For him, it is business. Now there is a conflict between fans in the stands and the game must be interrupted. If Leeds United cannot restore order in the stands and get the fans to stop their racial discrimination, then he can
Directly announcing the end of the game. Even if it is a Champions League match, it will be a heavy blow to the image of English football.
The result of the game will then be decided by the event organizer, namely UEFA.
Whether Millwall retired and was sentenced to a 0:3 loss, or whether Leeds United's stadium management was negligent and was sentenced to a 0:3 loss, it was not the referee's turn to worry about it.
Out of personal emotions, the referee did not put any pressure on Millwall. He stopped the game and the players left the field first. Then he found O'Reilly and asked O'Reilly to inform Leeds United that order could not be restored in the stands within 15 minutes.
, then, the game is over.
As O'Reilly was the head coach, stadium management was not within his scope of responsibilities. He informed the club management to deal with the current situation, while he returned to the dressing room to try to get the Leeds United players to regain their momentum and gather their fighting power to compete with Millwall.
Keep fighting.
The situation is very unfavorable, but after all, it is not without hope of reversal.
But in such a crucial game, in terms of tactics, O'Reilly's well-prepared killer move was easily resolved by Aldrich. He was so distraught that he could not do anything else except boost morale in the locker room.
Adjustment.
Arthur sat alone in the stadium box while Ridsdale went to deal with the commotion in the stadium.
In fact, everyone knows that the game will resume, and the vast majority of Leeds United fans hope that this team will be brilliant and progressive. If the game ends prematurely, regardless of negative publicity or UEFA punishment, it will definitely be very detrimental to Leeds United.
Arthur watched the Lions fans fighting with the Leeds United fans and couldn't help but recall the passionate and passionate era twenty or thirty years ago. The current riots in the stands are just small ripples in his eyes. Football hooligans twenty years ago
Throughout British football
When one goes his own way, the conflict that breaks out is really exciting. Now, it's almost like a child making trouble, pushing around, throwing things away, kicking black feet, and hiding around after doing something. It seems that he dares to
It seems like it's too much to do.
A large number of security guards rushed into the stands where the conflict broke out and took away a group of fans. A group of fans were also taken away by security personnel in the stands where the racial discrimination was committed. Atherton felt that his enthusiasm was waning.
He was fond of causing trouble when he was young. He was not a hooligan like bullying men and dominating women. It was just that someone took the initiative and got involved in making things worse. It was a kind of catharsis.
Arthur took out his cell phone, found his second son's number and dialed it.
"dad?"
"Well, are you watching the game?"
"No. Is there any suspense about Millwall's promotion?"
"It has nothing to do with this. Leeds United bought a group of players from Millwall two years ago. It was you who handled it, right?"
"Why do you care about this? It's me. Those players are owned by my agency. What's wrong? Millwall wants to buy them back?"
Arthur swung his legs and suddenly changed the subject.
"In the past two years, some teams in Italy have been unable to survive, and they all have to rely on selling their stars, right?"
"What on earth are you asking? The club is in financial crisis. Selling the stars is of course the first choice. There is a lot of money to be cashed out. The high salary of the stars themselves is also a big burden, inside and out, in exchange for cash.
, and reduced salary expenses.”
"Well, then why did I hear that Italian agents can get a lot of money from player transactions? Why don't you?"
"Please, do I have to ask Aldridge for money? I signed players from his team. When he sells the players away, I'll kill him again. He doesn't mind, but you're probably going to beat me up too, right?"
Arthur understood that he actually didn't care about this before. He only occasionally listened to news in the industry after becoming chairman, and thought that the operating models of agents in England and Italy were different.
Generally speaking, part of the transfer fee for player transfers will be taken away by the agent company as a commission. There is no fixed ratio, and this fee is not considered a kickback by the agent. After all, the purchasing club has to sign a player from the target club, except When the two clubs reach an agreement, the player himself has to nod. The agent convinces the player to transfer. It is a credit. In some cases, the agent and the player negotiate. The player gets the signing fee and the agent gets a commission. , anyway, there are no conventional rules. Specific cases will be analyzed in detail.
Millwall has sold players over the years, regardless of whether the player agent is Andrew. At least Millwall has pocketed all the announced transfer fees. Andrew is embarrassed to take commissions. The commissions from the salaries of his own stars are not cheap in a year, and For those players who are not under Andrew's transfer, their agents have to take a commission. Millwall disagrees and wants to get more compensation. They ask the opposite club to go. Anyway, Millwall will not pay extra from the transfer fee. Let's talk about it. No, get out.
"Dad, what on earth are you calling me about?"
"Ritsdale just talked to me and Leeds United's financial situation is not very good."
"Huh? What then?"
"I'm almost 60."
"You're not even 55 years old!"
"Anyway, you are going to prepare a big gift for me for my 60th birthday."
"The more you talk, the more confused I become."
"Buy me an old castle with a history of more than 200 years, and I will retire there."
"Did you find the wrong person? You're going to find your elder brother. Not to mention the millions of pounds of gifts, just sell me."
Arthur laughed loudly and scolded: "Is it enough to sell you? You really think highly of yourself. I think it shouldn't be difficult. If Leeds United sells a star, you take a commission, isn't it enough?"
Only then did Andrew understand Arthur's intention in calling.
Listening to Arthur's gentle words from beginning to end, it suddenly dawned on me that this old man didn't like Leeds United.
"Well, I'll figure it out."
"It's still far away, so I'll take my time to pick the castles. Anyway, I'm a layman, so I'll pick the most expensive one first."
"Are you trying to destroy Leeds United? What happened? Where is Aldridge?"
"Okay, bye."
Arthur hung up the phone, just as Ridsdale returned to the box with a long face. Arthur smiled at him. Ridsdale forced a smile and sat down, ready to continue watching the game.
Finally, the riot in the stands was stopped, but the momentum that Leeds United had built before the kickoff was gone.
The stands were quite empty. In addition to the troublemaking fans who were taken away, some Leeds United fans were disheartened by the team's performance today and left early.
There is no doubt that Bowyer has talent, and the expectations placed on him in the past two years were even higher than those of Beckham. However, even if a person with such bad behavior is playing for Leeds United, many die-hard fans still feel that his behavior cannot be tolerated.
Not to mention his poor performance on the court today, the controversy he caused off the court alone was unacceptable to many fans.
This is about a question of values guidance. After all, adult fans and fans with children certainly hope that their children are also Leeds United fans and come to the stadium to cheer for the team. But the negative impact of people like Bowyer , it’s really too big.
This is different from football stars going to nightclubs, which are part of normal life. Nightclubs are not illegal places and adults can go there. However, behaviors such as taking drugs and hurting others are illegal!
O'Reilly cheered the Leeds United players on in the dressing room and asked them to forget about the dispute caused by Bowyer, while also analyzing the situation and trying to cheer up the team as much as possible.
Bowyer was sent off, and Millwall's Ronaldinho was also sent off.
It's 10 against 10 on the court.
He seemed to want to use a balanced situation to boost morale, but Viduka asked inappropriately: "If we restart the game, we will be awarded a penalty kick, right?"
O'Reilly was speechless, and other Leeds United players lowered their heads and lamented in their hearts.
Bowyer was sent off. He gave his opponent a penalty kick before leaving the field. Although he did not commit a foul, Ronaldinho took the ball and shot from an angle. The position was good, but he missed the shot in the end. Martin still had a chance to score the ball.
Block it out, and now give the opponent a penalty kick. If they are beaten 1:2 at home, how can Leeds United advance?
Fighting? Fighting spirit?
Who believes it? This is the semi-finals of the Champions League. They have fighting spirit, but Millwall is timid?
On the contrary, Millwall's fighting spirit is not reflected in fighting fouls or brave confrontations, but in its shockingly calm stability.
Leeds United still haven't solved the problem of how to attack, especially now that an offensive player has been sent off, many players' mood has hit rock bottom.
