140 Angels and Demons

The Lion's Den Stadium erupted in earth-shattering exclamations, and then fell silent.

All eyes were on Millwall's left flank in the second half.

Aldridge had just complained to the fourth official and didn't see what was going on, but when he looked over there, he saw Neil, the youngster who started today, holding his leg and screaming in pain on the ground, one hand still beating the turf.

Not far from Neil, West Ham United striker Ian Doe got up and was about to approach Neil when he was pushed to the ground.

Southgate rushed up and shoved Doui menacingly, stooping and snarling at him as he fell to the ground.

"You're going to his legs, aren't you? It's a crime! Grass mud horse! ”

The West Ham players rushed over when they saw Doe being pushed down by Southgate, and the Millwall players rushed up as well, and a huge clash was about to break out between the two players.

Goalkeeper Keller rushed over, he protected Neil who fell to the ground, and yelled at the team doctor who ran into the field from the sidelines: "Hurry up! ”

Jenson came to Aldridge's side with a solemn face, covering his mouth to tell him what had just happened.

Neil catches the ball on the wing, Doe rushes over and makes a vicious tackle, Neil jumps up to dodge, but Doy's foot lifts up and kicks directly on Neil's knee.

If Neil hadn't jumped up and unbalanced his body instead of standing on the ground, he would have been shoveled off his leg!

But now the situation is not optimistic, Keller directly to the sideline to make a substitution, he can judge with his eyes that Neil can not continue the game, you can imagine how visually impactful Neil's injury is.

Aldridge asked Zambrotta to warm up, and then he swerved and rushed to the West Ham dugout. Pointing at Redknapp, he cursed angrily.

"Redknapp, that's how the you teach players to play? Do you still have a moral bottom line? I want to fight. Let's go to the boxing ring! You fucking have the face to slam Millwall for being a rogue team? You are the beasts without humanity, thugs. Brute! ”

Redknapp's face turned pale for a while, he knew that he was wrong, and he didn't want to engage in verbal or even physical contact with Aldrich.

But Aldridge rushed over as if he was about to tear Ray alive, which not only shocked the West Ham bench, but also the Millwall coaching staff, with Barb and Craig rushing up and grabbing Aldridge's arm and pulling him back.

"Calm, calm, Aldrich. Can't go any further! ”

The fourth officer also stood in front of Aldrich, warning him not to act irrationally.

"The referee team of the grass mud horse, your performance today is not as good as shit! How could the FA let you officiate today's game? With so many fouls before, how could the West Ham thugs get bigger and bigger if that idiot Barry Knight picked up a few yellow cards? My player is now being seriously violated, an injury beyond the rules of football! You are also accomplices! Accomplice! ”

Aldrich became more and more agitated the more he spoke, and even Craig had to quickly cover his mouth.

If this development continues, the situation is very bad, and there are a lot of people on the bench for both home and away teams. The atmosphere was tense, and Aldridge offended the referee again, which would obviously be very bad for Milvoj.

Aldridge did lose his mind at this moment, fed up with the constant rough fouls of his previous opponents. The referee's turn of a blind eye, and now that his players have been maliciously assaulted, makes him unable to contain his anger.

Referee Knight and the linesman managed to separate the players on the pitch. Then he immediately ran to the sidelines again and said nothing. A red card was shown directly to Aldrich.

Craig, who was covering Aldrich's mouth, stopped doing it, and he rushed to Knight at once. Putting his head on the other party, he gritted his teeth and said, "Did you collect money?" Is there anyone like you who officiate the game? Are you determined to kill Millwall? ”

The situation on the sidelines reversed extremely quickly in a short period of time.

Aldridge was shown a red card, but he seemed to be woken up by a blow to the head, and this time he went to drag Craig back, and Craig, who was chattering and scolding the referee for his low level, was also shown a red card, and Jenson applauded and taunted Knight on the side, and was also sent off with a red card.

Aldrich walked up to the expressionless Knight and said in a deep voice, "You should be ashamed of your performance today!" It's not Millwall's disaster, it's yours! ”

After saying that, Aldridge waved his hand on the sidelines and made an offensive gesture, which was seen by the players around Neil, who were indignant and understood what the leader's instructions were now.

Destroy West Ham United.

Not with fists.

It's with offense!

In an open and honest way, football!

Aldridge left the field along with assistant coach Jenson and first-team coach Craig, and they stood in the tunnel waiting for the team doctor, and with the help of the staff, Neil was already on a stretcher and was carried off.

Aldrich was going to accompany Neil directly to the hospital.

Another team doctor came back early to tell him that Aldridge had been hit by a conservative estimate alone.

Cruciate ligament of the knee, torn meniscus.

If you have a sprained joint that is out of alignment, and you need to check whether the canal is torn or broken, then major surgery will be required.

When Neil was carried off the stretcher, he was already wearing an oxygen mask, his face was pale and cold sweat, he was unable to speak, and he was close to a semi-comatose state.

The huge pain was too much for the young player, who had just turned 18 years old, to bear.

Aldridge and Jenson and Craig accompany Neil to the hospital, and when he gets into the ambulance, Aldridge hides his face with his hands and can't help but cry bitterly.

Because of his mental age, in his eyes, his players are more like junior children, Neil was anesthetized and fell into a coma, pale and bloodless face, the shocking congestion and some twisted splinting knees, all of which made Aldridge feel heartache.

He's only 18 years old!

Will it ruin his future?

Will it ruin his career?

Aldrich didn't know what to say, he felt lost and helpless.

He can't expect everyone to be like Larsson and get back on their feet after breaking a leg while playing for Celtic. And at the age of 35, he is still in a very high competitive state.

When he woke up, Aldrich didn't know how to face him. He believes he is responsible for his injuries because Neil calls him: Chief.

The Lion's Den Stadium was filled with hustle and bustle from the moment the conflict broke out. The Millwall fans were utterly outraged, they were never Mr. Nice.

Nobody likes us, we don't care!

But if someone hurts us, we will not spare us!

Riots quickly ensued in the stands, with West Ham United fans in the stands being attacked from both sides by Millwall fans, with security guards and police struggling to maintain order in the aisles, three inside and three outside, like sandwiches, with police and security guarding West Ham United in the middle. Withstanding the onslaught of Millwall fans.

But there are still many fans who have been injured by throwing debris, and there are not a few fans who have been smashed by the keychain and their heads are bleeding, fans on both sides have been injured, and riot police have also entered the stadium and began to take away the injured and emotional fans who have been close to each other.

The game was suspended for almost twenty minutes before order resumed.

Neither Taylor nor Gray knew what to say into the microphone, while Sky TV inserted a clip of an ad avoiding the riots.

This is clearly not the positive side of the Premier League.

Millwall has truly become a combination of angel and devil.

Referee Knight showed two more red cards before the game restarted, sending off Gareth Southgate and Doy.

Dowy's red card was indisputable. Although he made a head-on tackle, it was a malicious tackle, while Southgate was shown a red card for unwisely pushing Dow down and causing a clash with players.

But both sides were not convinced.

West Ham United believed that Millwall had been physically assaulted by a majority of players during the non-game and Trezeguet headbutted Michael Hughes.

Millwall was even angrier. Referee Knight showed them four red cards.

It's the Lion's Den, Millwall's home stadium!

You don't have to blow the home whistle, at least you should be fair and harsh!

Knight may have regretted it at the moment. In order to keep the game under control, his enforcement scale suddenly made a 180-degree turn. Immediately became extremely severe.

Before the end of the first half, he showed three more yellow cards. It's all for West Ham because they foul a lot.

When the clash erupted in the first half, Nedved was in a fight from start to finish, helping the referee pull the players from both sides.

But that doesn't mean he's not angry in his heart.

But he understands better what the team needs, which is victory, and only victory can make the opponent's dirtiness more despicable, shameless and childish.

Millwall will not fall in front of lethal tactics!

Throughout the second half, Nedved's performance was unparalleled, with a one-shoulder playmaker, accurate passing, incisive breakaways and well-timed powerful shots.

In the 57th minute, he opened the scoring with a clever pass from Larsson, and three minutes later, his breakthrough led to two yellow cards for West Ham United's Williams.

With 30 minutes remaining, Millwall firmly dominated the game and Nedved scored twice to seal a 3-0 victory, but instead of celebrating after each goal, he silently walked back to the centre circle to wait for kick-off.

His teammates didn't celebrate, and walked back to the half like him.

Not only will they want to win, but they will need to score more goals to humiliate West Ham United.

Redknapp added two defensive players to bolster the defence, and at the Lions' Den he had no hope of winning, and Millwall have been unbeaten in nearly 50 home games in the League Cup since last year!

When the game ended, outside the Lion's Den stadium, there was another massive clash and riot between the fans of the two teams, which was worse than the impact of the first half of the league and more injured, with more than 90% of the injured being West Ham United fans.

The return from Millwall to West Ham United is just such a short distance across the River Thames, but for West Ham United fans, it seems to be difficult, without the help of the police, I am afraid they will not be able to find their way home, the surrounding neighborhoods are full of lions fans chasing West Ham United to chase and intercept West Ham United fans, and lone West Ham United fans even have to quickly take off their shirts to avoid being mobbed.

But fans living in Millwall's radiating area were shocked to find on their way home that the riots were more violent than they had imagined.

From time to time, groups of strangers popped up in the streets, apparently looking for a fight, and those of Millwall who didn't want to get involved in the right and wrong huddled home, and then whispered and pointed at the strangers who roamed the streets as if looking for the Hammers fans.

The vast majority of loyal supporters of the older generation of Millwall supporters will tell the youngsters in a heavy tone that the real football hooligans out there are those who come from all over the country to fight on this day.

This was a common occurrence in the seventies and eighties, and the chaotic scene of hooligan riots once again befell East London. (To be continued......)
