Thank you for the reward of "Death of the Thief" and "Purple Sunrise"! ——

The city of Turin, one of Europe's most famous automobile cities, is a combination of modernity and classicism.

Aldrich sat in a taxi and watched the cityscape, not taking Brady's distress message seriously in his mind.

But when he got out of the car and walked into the police station, he realized that things were not what he had imagined.

Police in Turin asked him about his identity, and Aldridge said he was Millwall's owner and manager.

The Italian policeman in his forties curiously asked him to pull out his papers, Aldrich took out his wallet, took them out of it, and then walked to the place where Brady was temporarily detained under the guidance of another policeman.

On the way, Aldrich curiously asked the police officer who led the way about the cause and process of the incident.

"What law did they break in Turin?"

"They're football hooligans."

"Huh? Did they make trouble? ”

"Not at all, but when we wanted to deport them, they protested together and refused to cooperate with us, so they were temporarily detained, and after a while, when both Juventus and Millwall fans went home, they could be released."

Aldridge's face turned unpleasant when he heard this, and he asked rhetorically: "They didn't do anything, and you're going to expel them?" ”

"Yes, because they're football hooligans."

"They didn't do anything, how do you know they're football hooligans?"

"This is the job of our police. It's none of your business. It's here. ”

Aldrich was led down the hallway. Through the doors and windows, I saw that the detention cell was overcrowded. Brady, Fred and Saul leaned against the wall, and the trio were dressed in the same outfit as the others, wearing Millwall jerseys, club scarves around their necks, and some with rolled-up flags in their hands.

Judging by the time of the text and phone calls Brady gave him, they were all about half an hour before the start of the game. Aldridge was already in game mode at that time and would never let the phone distract him, so the phone was on silent mode and did not even vibrate.

Then their phones were confiscated after that.

If the police judge them as football hooligans, this will avoid causing riots, and as for whether they have power or not, it will also make a difference, in this country that is known as the realm of the free world, there is no equality and freedom in the absolute sense.

When the police open the door, they use batons to warn those inside not to act rashly.

But when Brady saw Aldrich. Immediately pounced on him.

"Did we make the cut?"

A group of people gathered in front of Aldrich and asked with anxious expressions on their faces.

Aldrich smiled and nodded, "1:1." Juventus were eliminated 3:2 on aggregate. ”

"Yay!"

The crowd erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and Brady hugged Aldrich on the cheek and kissed him, and the others followed suit, scrambling to kiss Aldrich.

Frightened, Aldrich retreated, and at this moment, a policeman ran in the corridor, pointed at Aldrich and said to the policeman who led the way: "He is also a football hooligan, lock him up first!" ”

Aldridge understood Italian, and before he could turn around, he was pushed by the police, and the whole person staggered into the detention cell, and then the door was closed, Aldrich banged on the door in disbelief, yelling: "Hey, is there a mistake? Am I a football hooligan? I'm the head coach of Millwall! Do you really not know who I am? Look at the football newspapers, have you watched the live TV broadcast of the game just now, I must be on the TV screen! ”

An opening was opened in the door, and the police outside said coldly: "We don't watch the Juventus game, we are Torino fans, the whole family is, don't quarrel, let you go in two hours, don't make trouble." ”

Aldrich was so angry that no matter what he said, no one responded.

Brady smiled at him from behind, "Stop shouting, they won't pay attention to you." What were you talking to them about? ”

"I told them I was the manager, but they were Torino fans and didn't care about the Juventus news."

"Heh, there is a backbone, I appreciate this kind of fan."

Aldridge gave him a blank look and laughed: "Do you think these Turin fans are the same as Millwall fans? Loyal even if the team is unknown? ”

Brady and the others looked at each other and asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"It's a fart! When Turin swept Italy, Juventus was nothing, when Turin was a cow, the main force of 11 people, 9 of them were the main force of the Italian national team, but unfortunately, a plane crash caused Turin to suffer a big injury, Juventus only rose in the city, more than history, Torino is more than Millwall. It's a pity that Torino is not Manchester United, if Torino can make a comeback after the plane crash, hehe, the three giants of northern Italy, maybe who and who are inside. ”

Brady and the others listened to it, as if it were a story.

Aldrich sat down next to the wall and felt unlucky by touching his head.

"Why are you being imprisoned?"

Fred asked curiously.

Aldridge sighed in a low voice: "They say I'm a football hooligan, just like you, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Salton exclaimed excitedly, "We didn't do anything!" As before, we arrived in Turin in a hurry, and then when we entered the stadium, we were denied entry by the police, and many of us were accused of being football hooligans, and they prepared a lot of buses, and many of our companions were taken directly into the buses and sent away. Of course we didn't agree, so we resisted, and that's it. ”

Aldridge felt in his pocket, and the other party had just locked himself in and had not confiscated his phone, so he called Jenson and asked him to save him.

After he finished the call, Brady and the others were relaxed, they came to watch the game, the game was over, and they got the result they wanted most. Suddenly, the mentality became peaceful.

"Hey. Aldrich. What the hell is going on here, you say? Is it a conspiracy of Juventus? We can't score on the pitch to cheer the team. ”

Brady lit a cigarette and handed it to Aldrich, who took it and took a puff to find that many fans next to him were looking at him in amazement.

Although they are members of the Lion's Roar fan group, they don't really have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Aldridge, and the club talks to representatives of the fan organization every month, and they don't always choose the Lion Roar fan group.

Aldridge grinned and said, "I'm not a player, what's wrong with a cigarette?" I'm nothing. You didn't go to the scene to watch the game today, but if you did, you would know who the most flavorful person is when a man smokes cigars. ”

"Who?"

"Lippi."

"The manager of Juventus?"

"Yes, I was directing the team on the sidelines, and he was sitting there smoking a cigar, and I wanted to beat him, but I was very envious in my heart, and there was a kind of elegance that I couldn't imitate."

Brady scoffed, "What's the use of that?" It's not like we're losing to our Wild Lion. ”

Aldridge shook his head and said, "When you go back and watch the video of the game, you'll know what's going on." ”

"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 in Europe is like?" ”

Bring this up. Everyone was silent.

Truth be told, although England fans have a rich culture and are imitated by fans all over the world.

But in this era, England fans were notorious in Europe, especially in Italy.

England fans are treated with discrimination and even resentment, with 99.9% of fans being law-abiding, but they are still considered football hooligans.

Debt!

Modern-day England fans are all about paying off the debts of the notorious football hooligans of the last era!

It is true that there has been a long time in England where football hooligans are rampant, riots and disturbances continue, and even tragedies such as the Heysel tragedy have occurred, especially Belgian and Italian fans, I am afraid that they will never be able to forgive the football hooligans in England, they have led to the loss of innocent fans in both countries, and made Heysel a human purgatory.

A dozen years later, England fans in Europe are treated as "second-class citizens".

Aldridge said in a heavy tone: "You should all know how other clubs arrange fans for European competitions, right? ”

Speaking of this, Brady nodded with a serious expression, and some fans in the crowd sneered: "Like Manchester United is a vampire, fans want to go to the away stadium to cheer for the team, but they have to pay more than 3 times the normal cost. Mr. Hall, you are admirable for that, if you don't learn Manchester United, otherwise we would have protested and resisted. ”

Aldridge sighed softly, the away package is provided to fans by the English club in Europe, such a package is a round-trip ticket, a ticket to watch the game, and travel expenses are bundled together, which is about 3 times higher than normal consumption, if the fans do not accept it, then it is impossible to buy away tickets from the club channel, this away game is only a European match abroad.

The origin of this model is that England fans will be attacked by some extremists when they go to other European countries with the team to play away games, and in order to ensure the safety of fans, the club has arranged a unified arrangement to facilitate management.

But this lacks humanity, and the fans take it for granted that they don't accept it, and they spend a lot of money, only to get on the plane, get off the plane, take the car to the stadium, watch the game, take the car to the airport, and fly back to the UK.

You don't even have the opportunity to visit the scenery of a foreign country, and you don't have the opportunity to taste the food, who would be willing to be the culprit of such an injustice?

Instead of using this "away package", Millwall negotiated in advance with the opposing club when selling tickets for European away games, so that the opposing team would absolutely separate the seats of the away team fans from the seats of the home team, so as to at least ensure that the fans of both sides would not clash in the stands during the game.

Are Millwall still football hooligans now?

Maybe there is, but there is no such organization that can blatantly appear in the stands.

In addition to the team's games in the Premier League, when the police maintained the order of the game, after two or three years of vigorous rectification, Millwall's former football hooligans either disappeared, or transferred to the loosely managed low-level team game stands to make trouble, plus Aldridge once asked Andrew to bribe the chief of the London Police Department, nailed many main members of the football hooligans, and now Millwall's fans are fanatical, passionate, rational, and elegant, but they do not deliberately want to make trouble.

So Millwall is playing in the group stage, visiting Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven, and Dynamo Kyiv, and the fan base is at peace with each other, and there are no safety hazards.

So why did the Italian police decide that Millwall fans were football hooligans?

Aldrich thought of a possibility.

The other side has a list in their hands, a list of football hooligans.

And the initiators of this list, without a doubt, are the British police.

Further back, then, the source is the Iron Lady Thatcher.

During her administration, she cracked down on football hooligans, and euphemistically issued a ban order, the attack of which was "Rather kill 3,000 by mistake than miss a single person!" (To be continued......)
