Although Millwall FC has its own medical department, in the event of a major injury, especially a sudden serious injury on the field, it is natural to send the player to the hospital as soon as possible.

The doctors in the club will rush to the hospital as soon as possible to understand the situation and cooperate with professional doctors to discuss the treatment plan.

Aldrich sat in the hospital hallway, his face stained with tears, and his whole body looked extremely depressed and sad.

Wow, bmm, bh

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded like the crisp sound of high heels.

Melanie, who got the news in London, rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, saw Aldrich sitting in a chair, slowed down her steps, walked in front of him, then reached out and gently hooked his neck, put his head in front of her, and then half-knelt down, held his face and said softly: "He'll be fine." ”

Aldrich closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter

After some time, Melanie sat down next to him, she turned off her phone, and stayed with him until late at night.

The hospital report came out, and the club's medical director, Thompson, told Aldridge about the situation with a grim face.

Neil had to undergo surgery and ruptured the cruciate ligament.

This surgery is difficult and the risk of failure is high.

Aldrich could do nothing but be silent.

When Neil woke up, Aldrich was sitting in the hospital room, and when Neil opened his eyes and saw Aldrich, the first thing he asked made Aldridge's heart cut like a knife.

"Boss, did we win?"

Aldrich burst into tears, squeezed out a smile and nodded, "Win." Pavel they've all been here, you see. They sent you lots of flowers and they said they would be waiting for you to come back to the team. Our path is just beginning, and you can't afford to be left behind. ”

A smile appeared on Neil's pale face, and he said, "Of course, I won't be left behind." Am I seriously injured? ”

Aldridge shook his head and said, "It's not serious, you can recover with just one operation, but the rest will take longer, you have to be up and strong to face all this, Lucas." You're one of the toughest guys in the team, you can't be laughed at by your teammates, the team will wait for you, and I will wait for you to come back. ”

"Oh."

Hearing Aldrich's words, Neil actually knew in his heart whether his injury was serious or not.

This frustrated him a little.

Aldridge can't expect a few words to fully cheer Neil up at this time, and it's normal for players to have a period of depression in the early stages of the injury, but during the recovery period. The whole person has to have a positive mentality to help the players get back on the pitch.

Aldridge informed his family and would visit him and his teammates regularly. Will continue to encourage him.

The next morning, Aldrich, accompanied by Melanie, left the hospital.

He went home for a morning rest, and when he returned to the club in the afternoon, Adam came straight to him. The face is ugly.

'After yesterday's game, the whole east London was in chaos. The chaos continued into the second half of the night, and the police arrested many fans. We have a large number of fans, and the FA has announced that it will investigate the riots in the stadium, and we are likely to face penalties for closing the stands for the remaining home games, and the owner and two other coaches may also face fines and fines. ”

Aldrich sat in the back of the office with his eyes closed in contemplation, and the silence in the office was audible with pins dropping.

After about ten minutes, Aldridge said lightly: "Study the video of the game, which fans in the stands took the initiative to stir up trouble, make a list, and if extreme fan organizations are involved, they will also be investigated." In addition, the perpetrators of off-the-field disturbances, go to the police station to find out the situation, and if the trouble is so fierce, it is not necessarily Millwall fans. ”

Adam nodded in understanding, then asked, "What about the FA?" ”

"The club put together a written submission to complain to the referee Barry Knight, the suspension of the coaching staff, if there is no addition, it will not appeal, if there is an additional suspension, then it will be said."

Aldrich told Adam to go to work, he needed to be quiet, although Melanie was with him at home, but he didn't want to listen to others comfort him at this time, because he was worried about others, Neil.

After the east London derby, Millwall face the FA Cup quarter-finals in midweek against Newcastle United.

Aldridge forced himself to work to forget his worries, and after this round of fixtures, the Premier League table changed dramatically.

Newcastle United played an earth-shattering 4-3 at Anfield, with the home team in front, the Reds beat the Magpies, and the image of Kevin Keegan buried himself behind the billboard became a classic again, of course, a classic in the negative.

The Premier League is buzzing at the moment, following Manchester United's away win over Newcastle United last month, Newcastle United has a tendency to collapse, with five league games remaining, with only two points behind Manchester United and only three points behind Millwall and Newcastle United.

The fixture schedule is the most favourable for Manchester United, as they have played against Millwall and Newcastle United, but Millwall have to play the Magpies in the penultimate round of the league.

Since the return of Eric Cantona, especially in the second half of the league, Manchester United have been unbeaten for more than two months under the leadership of King Old Trafford since February.

The Premier League title race is heating up, with the last five league games remaining and all three teams likely to win the title, but Millwall's future in the final sprint is uncertain due to the negative press surrounding the East London derby.

At Tuesday's pre-FA Cup press conference, reporters focused their questions on the league.

The FA is in a state of frustration as Aldridge not only accused West Ham United of being dirty in his press conference, but also accused Barry Knight of poor law enforcement.

Times reporter David Miller asked Aldridge a question that quieted the audience.

"Mr. Hall, you have said in an interview that you will not tolerate such behaviour if there is a riot at Millwall's home turf. Well now, as the owner of Millwall. How will you use your powers? ”

The reporters in the audience all stared at Aldrich to see how he answered.

Many people gloated in their hearts. I think it was Aldridge who pretended to be big a few months ago, thinking that his fans were some kind of good birds, and it was difficult to put away the water when he said it, and now it depends on how he ends.

Aldridge slowly picked up a document and opened it, and read softly: "Millwall has made an investigation into the fan riots that occurred at home in the last round of the league and has made the following decision on the basis of verifying the facts, because of privacy concerns, I cannot release the names of the fans and the names of the fan organizations, what I can tell you." Millwall will ban 238 perpetrators of the stand riots from entering the Lion's Den for the next three years, and those who have already purchased season tickets for this season will refund the remaining ticket fees for the remaining home games, and at the same time, there are three fan groups that I have judged to be extremist organizations, which has seriously affected the order of the stands, and the Lion's Den Stadium will ban members of the three fan groups from entering the stadium, this decision is permanent. Millwall's long-term development aims to ensure the safety and comfort of fans entering the stadium. We welcome the fans who support us to come to the stadium to cheer for us, but we can't accept that some fans will stir up trouble in the stands and affect the personal safety of others. That's it for today's press conference. ”

Aldrich finished speaking, picked up the papers, and turned to leave.

The reporters in the audience also raised their hands and kept calling his name, wanting to ask more questions.

After confirming that Aldrich would not turn back, the reporters all put down their hands and looked at each other. For a while, everyone had any expression on their faces.

Really?

Aldridge is really doing it against the fans!

Isn't this tantamount to cutting off one's own financial resources?

Fans come in to watch the game to give Millwall money.

Aldrich thought very clearly on this matter. Don't be soft.

Of the three extreme fan groups, the most violent is the BushWackers. In the East London derby, they deliberately sat in the position closest to the West Ham United fans, waiting for the opportunity to fight with West Ham United.

Fans like this who don't usually attend the stadium, Aldridge feels that they are just making trouble under the banner, while most of Millwall's fans have become violent because they have been influenced by such organized extremist groups.

When in that noisy confrontation environment, usually rational people will also be infected by the people around them, and someone picking the head is like a prairie fire, if it is not extinguished in time, the fire will soar to the sky and cannot be contained.

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to punish the root cause, and to eliminate the first evil, and the condemnation without pain is not binding at all.

Members of three extremist fan groups have been banned from the stadium, and those groups have been blacklisted by Millwall.

As soon as Millwall's punishment decision was announced, it immediately provoked a hostile reaction from the fans, especially the fans of the three extremist groups who led more than 100 people to surround Aldrich's apartment, they pulled up protest banners, and shouted at the apartment at the same time, telling Aldrich to get out and give them an explanation.

Aldrich was at home listening to music and reading books with headphones on, unconcerned about what was going on outside.

That night, in the back seat of a London cinema, Andrew sat in his seat watching a boring love movie, and there were not many people in the cinema, but they were all couples, each sitting in a dark corner.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a coat and a hat sat down next to Andrew and whispered, "Mr. Hall, what are you asking me to meet here?" If you're trying to intercede for those troublemakers, I'm sorry, I can't. ”

Andrew stared ahead at the big screen in the movie, and said lightly: "Director Trande, you are wrong, I am not interceding for them, there is a box under my seat, there is a document in it, there are some people's names and information on it, my brother hopes that the London police can better maintain law and order in East London, so, try to make these people good citizens as much as possible, if they can't do it, then please do it according to the law, there is not enough place in detention centers or prisons in London, The Hall family can contribute to social stability and donate to the construction of a new prison. ”

Trande's mind was a little overwhelmed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said officially: "Of course we will do our job." ”

"Well, please don't let us down, we want to see a settled and peaceful East London. This film is not bad, but it is a bit platonic, I can't stand it, see you again. ”

Andrew got up, put on his trench coat, and left quietly with his hands in his pockets.

Trande bent down and found a suitcase from under his seat, placed it on his lap and opened it to look down, startling him.

Inside the box, there were 100,000 pounds, and under the money was a document pressed down.

Bang.

Trander immediately closed the box and looked left and right to make sure no one saw him, and no one jumped out to get the stolen money and catch him taking bribes.

After a period of intense internal struggle, Trande took the box and sneaked out of the movie theater through another exit.

Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, and what they do is not illegal, it's just that the Hall family encourages Trander to do his job better. (To be continued......)
