After Aldridge walked into the players' tunnel, the FA's temporarily designated on-site officials immediately followed him, if it was the second half, it would be okay, but Aldridge was sent off in the first half, from this moment on, Aldridge can only be a spectator, and he can't enter the locker room at halftime.
Aldridge was guided by West Ham club staff to a reception room where he continued to watch the game via televised broadcasts.
Two FA officials, in their thirties, stood by the door like bodyguards, both looking at Aldridge with curiosity.
The first half ended quickly, with neither Millwall nor West Ham United creating good chances to end the first half with a draw.
Aldridge sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, turned his head and smiled at the FA official: "Can you help me get a cup of coffee?" No added sugar. ”
One of them walked out of the hall to ask the club staff for coffee, while the other stared at Aldridge, as if he was more nervous, for fear that Aldridge would come out of his shell and run to the Millwall dressing room.
He's the heart of a villain.
Aldridge was going to stay here honestly and go to the locker room after the game, and he took out his phone boredly, and when he saw that someone was calling, he pressed the answer button.
"Aldrich, you're headlining again!"
"I don't want to, I'm just scared silly."
"Hehe, liar! You can't command now, what if you lose the game? ”
"Lose? I don't see West Ham United having the capital to win, Millwall can't afford to lose. ”
"Bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet on tomorrow's dinner, I was about to tell you, I found a Chinese restaurant, it's very good, let's go together tomorrow night, if Millwall can't win, you invite me, if Millwall wins, I'll invite you."
Aldrich rolled his eyes and said, "That doesn't sound fair. ”
"Show your gentlemanly demeanor!"
"Okay, the bet is made, see you tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, Aldridge casually turned his head to find another FA official sitting next to him, with a slightly flattering smile on his face.
"Friend, what's wrong with you?"
"Well, I read the newspaper that you and Chisholm from the Spice Girls are dating?"
Aldrich shrugged, "Hmm. ”
"Can you help me get an autograph? My youngest daughter loves them. ”
Aldridge looked at the other party for three seconds and then lost to the other party's father's love, took out a small notebook and pen from the inner pocket of his suit, handed it to the other party and said: "You write down the address, wait for them to release their first album, ask them to sign it, and send it to your home." ”
"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie, Mr. Hall, you are really young and promising, in fact, I also admire you, you are handsome and chic, and the team style of play you have trained is really pleasing to the eye"
Aldridge chimed in with a smile, waited for his coffee, and then took it in his hand and drank it while waiting for the second half of the game.
At the start of the second half, Aldridge and the two FA officials were already very familiar, they sat side by side like fans watching TV, Aldridge felt that something was missing, so he stood up and opened the door, waved to the staff passing by the door, paid money plus errands to help people buy some snacks, fries and fried chicken, whatever they wanted.
Within minutes, Aldridge and FA officials were eating and drinking in the reception room while watching the game with relish.
Upton Park, on the other hand, is still full of smoke.
Hammer fans clamored for Millwall to be killed.
They are now beaming with pride, as if they had made a good deal.
Sacrificing a fan and giving the opposing coach a red card!
Is it possible to replicate this "tactic" in every game in the future?!
Redknapp's little eyes widened, he was now sitting in the dugout, no matter what, the manager of Millwall was not on the sidelines, and the blow to Millwall must have been huge!
But he miscalculated the situation.
If Aldridge is to blame for being sent off, most of the players on the pitch will feel that the manager is immature and unreliable.
But the players were just humiliated one second ago, and the next second the coach slapped the perpetrator to the ground, and the players were happy from head to toe.
The leader was sent off the field, and that was an injustice.
Now, it's their turn to fight for the leader, for themselves, for the fans!
West Ham United's attack still couldn't get in, and Redknapp let the midfielders press and play the roughest long balls, they were more comfortable with the field than Millwall, and naturally played more freely.
But this style of play is not really cheap before Millwall's two layered defences in the middle and back.
The ball flew over and back again.
Millwall's players have adapted to the pitch through the first half, playing better and better, and are able to make small and fluid combinations.
It was just a lack of luck in the final kick, and Larsson and Trezeguet couldn't get the ball on the front line to turn, and the effect of barely getting up was not good.
Neil put a tackle on the left side, cut off the ball at Rolando's feet, the fans on the sidelines shouted fouls, Neil got up and passed the ball out, bowed his head and cursed: Break your mother's rules!
Nedved received the ball and crossed to Vieira on the right midfield, Ballack, Nedved, and Vieira moved forward together, and the ball forced West Ham United's midfield defense to press step by step.
Ballack received the ball in front of the penalty area, and the two strikers were closely watched, and he did not hesitate to blast a long-range shot directly into the goal on the line of the penalty area.
The cannonball-like ball hit the ball right, and West Ham United goalkeeper, 34-year-old Czech veteran Miloses, jumped on the spot but was too fast to touch the ball.
The expressions of the West Ham fans froze, but they heard the most pleasant sound.
Bang!
The shot hit the crossbar with a loud bang.
Ballack just held his head in disbelief, but in the next second, the ball that hit the crossbar bounced out again, and near the penalty spot, someone jumped high and headed the ball back one by one!
In the box, the West Ham players were stunned, with Ballack's long-range strike halting them in their tracks, but Millwall's two strikers weren't just watching, they had a habit of taking second chances.
It was Larsson, who had a keen sense of smell, who shot the header!
The ball went to the left side of the goal, which was the direction Milosque was powerless to save.
When the ball hit the net, Larsson landed and immediately turned to look at the linesman, where he found that the flag in the linesman's hand was still drooping, and he ran towards the stands where the Millwall fans were with a frenzied smile.
"It's Larson again! Ballack's long-range shot came close to finding the back of the net, but with a little bit of luck hitting the crossbar, Millwall also had Larsson up front, and his clever header opened the scoring for the team, the top scorer has been on a hot run this season, and he has already scored 14 goals in the first half of the league before the end of the season, and will he be a strong contender for the Premier League Golden Boot this year, will he overtake Shearer in the scoring charts? ”
After the goal, Larsson ran to the stands where the Millwall fans were, and his team-mates rushed over and roared wildly.
At the end of the celebration, Larson walked to the corner booth, put his hand on the camera, and smiled, "Hey, boss, are you watching the game?" The goal just now is for you! ”
In the reception room, Aldrich and two FA officials jumped up, and Aldrich even ran three laps around the long table in the reception room to make a glider celebration.
"Mr. Hall, he's awesome! It's a pity not the English. ”
"I don't care if he's English, it's enough he's Millwall."
Aldrich sat down after the celebration, loosened the tie around his neck, and happily continued to eat and drink.
Redknapp had a gloomy face, he had been cornered, and the raucous Upton Park stadium was now putting a lot of pressure on him.
It's a East London derby!
Is it a game you can lose?
Redknapp made an immediate substitution, adding a striker to the front line.
Aldrich, who was watching the live TV broadcast, saw the other party's substitution, and directly put his feet on the table, almost watching TV in a supine position, chewing fried chicken nuggets and said vaguely: "Lao Lei is out of line, he can only make a faint move." ”
"West Ham have an extra striker, shouldn't Millwall be in a hurry?"
Aldridge waved his hand and said: "They strengthen the attack, which means that their defense is weakened, many teams play strong teams after falling behind and then turn defense into offense, the more they lose after the worst, the reason is the same, Millwall is obviously stronger than West Ham United, this kind of garbage United is stronger, I am not afraid that he will be more forward, I wish Lao Lei was more extreme, playing 424,235,127, history has long proved that the tactics of piling up forwards are ancient times." ”
Aldridge is still talking, in the live TV screen, West Ham United attacked wildly, and was directly counterattacked by Millwall from the middle and back, Vieira made a long pass, Trezeguet rushed forward to receive the ball on the left side in front of the penalty area and volleyed on the spot, the ball shot into the corner of the goal, Milosk was powerless!
Aldrich raised his hands and smiled: "Old Lei, you will also make headlines tomorrow, the replacement is a big failure!" ”
Millwall's first East London derby in the Premier League was set at 2-0 as West Ham United lost twice at Upton Park.
At the end of the game, the audience booed deafeningly.
As dusk fell, West Ham fans were furious after losing the derby, and even though the Metropolitan Police deployed more than half of their force to maintain law and order, they could not stop the riots.
There was a massive clash between fans of the two teams outside the southwest side of Upton Park.
Green Street, all the shops on Barking Road were smashed that night, and the chaos continued into the second half of the night
