In the final game of the English League, the Lion's Den Stadium was full, and the fans were obviously in a good mood today in the stands that had been boiling before the game, even though the outcome of the game did not matter at all, but after all, it was the team's last home game in the English League, and coming here to cheer was a compliment to the team.

In Millwall's main lineup, most of the players sat in the stands behind the bench, and Larsson, Nedved, Southgate, Pire and others sat in a row in suits and leather shoes, chatting and gossiping with a relaxed look.

After this game, Aldridge was not in the mood for a championship celebration, a League One title, there is no need to let the players get carried away, he will call the team after the game for a season summary, and then directly give the players a holiday.

When Aldridge walked out of the tunnel, the fans gave a standing ovation, and applause and cheers swirled over the Lion's Den Stadium.

The Hall family took over the Millwall club, and the young coach Aldridge's debut in charge of League One won the hearts of all the fans.

With a record number of goals scored and over 2.6 goals per game, the players bought for the team are quickly becoming heroes.

Next season's Premier League is full of anticipation among Millwall fans.

Aldridge raised his arm above his head and clapped to the stands, and as he walked to the dugout, he saw a huge banner unfurled by the Lion's Roar fan group in the south stand.

"To Aldridge, my favorite: Leave Larsson!"

The Lion's Roar fan organization is not Aldrich's private property, he at best gives some convenience to this fan organization on the ticket, and he has no time to care about other aspects, but this fan organization has a soul.

Just before the start of the game, when the British media revealed that Manchester United were interested in bringing in Larsson, the Roar fan group wrote an open letter to the club, in which it hoped that the club would keep Larsson to avoid a recurrence of incidents such as the departure of Sheringham and Cascarino.

Cascarino, who has only played for Millwall for three seasons, has formed an unstoppable attacking combination with Sheringham, and even now, Cascarino is the leading goalscorer at Marseille.

And Sheringham is a pain in the hearts of Millwall fans.

Sheringham, who joined Millwall's youth team at the age of 16, spent eight years with the club before moving to Nottingham Forest before returning to London to White Hart Lane.

Millwall fans want to forget Sheringham in their hearts, but they always recall the good things he brought to Millwall, but Sheringham is already the leading scorer of the north London team, and Millwall fans can only watch from the sidelines.

Will Larsson leave in the squad?

Aldridge didn't say anything to the outside world, but he has done a good job of thinking about the players internally.

For example, Larsson, Aldridge talked to him, if Larsson wants to leave, Aldridge will not stop him, especially if he joins a traditional giant like Manchester United, what reason does Aldridge have to obstruct it? The appeal of Millwall and Manchester United is simply not comparable.

However, Aldridge took Larsson's side and analyzed the situation for him.

Manchester United spent a record £6 million to bring in Andy Cole six months ago in order to replace Welsh king Mark Hughes, after Cantona's return from suspension, will Larsson have to be a regular at Manchester United?

Anyway, he is at Millwall, there are no injuries and attitude problems, and Aldridge will definitely guarantee his starting position and team status.

As for the rest of the teams in England, the transfer fee is a hurdle, the salary is also a hurdle, and because of the competitiveness of the team, Aldridge persuaded Larsson to stay.

By the end of the season, the news of the contract extensions of the players in the team will be announced en masse, and with Aldridge's cold treatment of the media's questioning, Millwall will not usher in turmoil this summer.

On the pitch, players from both sides had already entered, and Aldridge also sat down in the dugout and chatted happily with Jenson.

This past season, the atmosphere in the team was good, maybe it was all about the young people, the momentum was high, the coaching staff was rewarded through their dedication, and everyone was full of pride to see the team win in League One.

Swindon are aiming to win this game, and if they want to succeed in relegation, they must win, so they have the momentum to fight against the water.

As for Millwall's substitute lineup, Aldridge sent a 433 formation, Phillips was in the middle of the forward line, Glen Schal and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were on both sides, the midfielder was Gattuso and Vieira's double midfield partner, central midfielder Ballack, and in the back four, Lucas Neal continued to play left wing-back, Materazzi and Richards partnered with two central defenders, and Zambrotta also showed more and more stability on the right wing-back.

Swindon played the traditional 442 and threatened with long balls from the start of the game.

For this set, Millwall's bench lineup is not afraid.

As England legend Brian Clough said: If football has to fly in the sky, why shouldn't the turf be built in mid-air?

The more this kind of high-flying strike, the more Millwall will be able to fight back on the ground.

The whole coaching staff is very relaxed, everyone is talking and laughing, Aldridge only occasionally glances at the situation on the field, the young players cherish the experience of every game, he does not need to stand on the sidelines to supervise, the players on the field naturally serve the three teams.

But in the second minute of the game, there was a sudden shocking scene on the field.

Swindon hoisted the ball into the Millwall penalty area in midfield, and the ball was cleared by Materazzi's easy header and headed to Vieira in front, who received the ball and organized an attack to play a counter-attack.

But as soon as the ball reached Ballack's feet, the referee suddenly blew the game to stop and turned and ran towards Millwall's backfield.

All eyes were cast to Millwall's backfield.

I saw Materazzi angrily scolding a Swindon striker who was rolling on the ground!

The Swindon striker covered his face and screamed on the ground, in pain.

"What happened?"

Aldridge frowned and turned his head to ask, he didn't see it just now.

In the coaching staff, Babu probe said: "It seems that just now, Marco slapped the opponent's Robbie Gates to the ground!" ”

Aldridge got up from his seat and there was a shocking boo at the Lion's Den as the referee showed Materazzi a red card!

Materazzi hitting someone without the ball?

Aldrich felt that he had done it.

But for what?

Quarrels?

Is the other party provocative?

Materazzi could not have been racially discriminated against.

"Marko, what the hell is going on?"

Aldridge asked calmly as Materazzi walked off the pitch with a gloomy face, Materazzi looked very ugly on the sidelines, his mouth moved, and finally he just shook his head and walked into the players' tunnel.

Aldridge was deeply helpless, and it was clear that Materazzi was reluctant to say.

Materazzi was sent off in the opening two minutes, and Swindon immediately had a numerical advantage, and Robbie Gates, who was rolling on the ground, also rubbed his face and stood up, and went to the sidelines to be treated by the team doctor, except that his face was indeed a little red and swollen, but there was nothing else serious.

Aldridge glanced at the Swindon coach next door who waved his arms with joy to let the players seize the opportunity to attack, and sighed, Aldridge gestured on the sidelines, pointed at the back and then pointed into the box.

Millwall's players were waiting for Aldridge to give instructions, and after the gesture was made, Gattuso and Patrick Vieira immediately understood: the midfielders dropped back a little deeper, creating a numerical advantage in the box.

Anyway, Swindon is playing a long pass and rushing, not transitioning in the midfield at all, the number of disadvantage in the midfield, the opponent is estimated not to take advantage of it, and Gattuso and Vieira cover each other, it is enough to have one person who can sweep in front of the penalty area, and Ballack will naturally drag behind slightly.

After making adjustments, Aldridge returned to the coach's bench and frowned in distress: "What happened just now?" Grass, this little course. ”

There is no big screen at the Lion's Den Stadium, otherwise you can watch the slow-motion replay.

Craig, like many fans in the stands, pulled a radio out of his pocket and began listening to the commentary on the game.

Moments later, the fans in the stands erupted in earth-shattering boos as soon as Swindon picked up the ball.

And Craig explained to Aldridge with a wry smile: "The radio commentary restores the whole process of the matter, as if Materazzi walked forward after the header was cleared, and Robbie Gates walked up to him and violated Materazzi. ”

"Violation? What action? ”

Aldridge's brows furrowed, a little confused, if Materazzi was the first to be violated, with his cunning on the pitch, it should have been the opponent who got a red card.

Craig slurred: "What the broadcast camera captured was, uh, Robbie Gates, he, he seemed to use his finger, poked, poked Materazzi in the buttocks. ”

The entire coaching staff, including Aldridge, looked sluggish.

And the substitutes sitting in the back also heard it, and some people couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

Materazzi has been blown up!

Aldrich used great perseverance to hold back his laughter, and said to Jenson with a strange expression: "You go and comfort him, don't let him smash our locker room"

Jenson immediately got up, still smiling before entering the tunnel.
