310 National Idols
The incident has made a bit of a big fuss.
The Turin police had to come forward to explain to the public, and the mayor of Turin also intervened to speak to Aldrich.
The incident lasted until late at night.
The most colossal image in front of the public is Aldrich and the mayor of Turin smiling and shaking hands with each other, revealing to the outside world that the incident was perfectly resolved.
The Italian media began to ridicule the British.
Although the Turin police are suspected of blindly enforcing the law, the evidence of their detention of Millwall fans comes from the British police.
Their blacklist database was provided by the British police.
This is really a slap in the face!
In fact, Aldridge never pointed the finger at the Turin police station or Italy, and he will not stir up trouble here on behalf of England.
He wants to buy people's hearts.
Whose hearts and minds are you buying?
Millwall fans are primary, all UK fans are secondary.
At the root of the incident is the overkill of the British police in cracking down on football hooligans for a long time in the past, which not only caused Millwall fans to suffer today, but also caused many fans of other clubs to complain, such incidents are not isolated or isolated incidents, but have happened to Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle United, Liverpool, etc., and even neutral fans.
Even when many clubs' fan groups have written to the FA, the FA has turned a blind eye.
The reason is simple, if the FA wants to solve this problem, it will have to deal with the British police, who are simply not willing to go outside the circle, especially with political forces, and it is best to maintain a state of peace and quiet.
So. The FA supports the club's 'away package' even explicitly and implicitly. This does reduce the number of fan disturbances.
Millwall fans staying in Italy. The next day, Aldrich flew back to London with a generous charter flight.
They returned to England like heroes, and Aldridge not only led the team to the last four of the Champions League, but also took the lead in protesting against the injustice that happened to the fans, which made his image in the eyes of the British people a little higher.
After returning to London, the BBC interviewed him for the first time, and Aldridge declared that he would negotiate with the British police, asking them to explain: Why am I being listed as a football hooligan?
FA chairman Wiseman contacted Aldridge privately and revealed one thing: don't let the fans make trouble. You can make trouble yourself, and the FA will support you mentally!
Yes, the FA wants to use Aldrich as a gunman this time, and it is impossible for the FA to come forward to deal with the British police, but Aldridge, as a public figure, he has suffered unfair treatment because of the work of the British police, and he has enough reasons to ask the British police for an explanation.
Aldrich is here for real.
He believes that being convicted as a football hooligan is a big stain and that if it is not worked out well, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Andrew prepared a team of lawyers for him, Aldrich said publicly. If the British police are unable to give a reasonable explanation, he will resort to legal means to solve the problem. He will save his reputation and help the Millwall fans to clean up the shame.
If the British court does not accept it, Aldrich will sue the EU!
The incident continues to heat up, but Aldrich's life is normal.
The British police finally gave an answer: the ex made a mistake.
Aldridge was blacklisted 94 years ago, presumably when he was around 17 years old.
At the point of investigation, Aldridge was supposed to watch an FA Cup match at the Lions' Den Stadium, and Millwall was still one of the top football hooligans at the time, so they were closely monitored by the police.
As for whether Aldridge was involved in some small riots in the stands or clashes with opposing fans on the street before and after the game, the police have also been unable to explain, and the explanation they gave is that they are suspected of having a close relationship with football hooligan leaders.
This "suspicion" is the key.
Perhaps, the person sitting behind Aldridge is a football hooligan, and he will also be judged as a football hooligan.
This is the British police's crackdown strategy of "preferring to kill the wrong 3,000 people rather than spare one person".
Many other fans may have been convicted of football hooligans because they appeared on the same occasion as football hooligans, and the police did not have time to investigate whether they knew each other, whether they had spoken, and whether they were really involved in football hooliganism.
In view of Aldrich's public influence, especially the good image he has created in recent years with his enthusiasm for public welfare and charity, the British police had to "admit his mistake" and revoke his name from the blacklist.
In this way, with Aldrich's precedent, a "reversal craze" has been set off in British football, and those innocent fans have to clear their grievances one after another, and the initiator Aldridge has completely ascended to the throne of national idol!
Perhaps only Chelsea, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, and other rivals such as Millwall will disdain Aldridge, and other rival fans such as Arsenal, Manchester United, and Liverpool have mostly respected Aldridge from the bottom of their hearts.
Fans at other clubs are envious, and they also hope that their team's manager will be a second Aldridge, who can stand by the fans as firmly and loyally as he is, and will not be a slave to money or turn a blind eye to the plight of the fans.
The Millwall players were in awe of Aldridge, with Southgate joking on the training ground: "Boss, can you cut your brain open and see what's in it?" ”
Aldridge suddenly heard it and felt that the other party was scolding him for having his brain in water, but when he saw the players showing adoring eyes, he smiled.
has been a public figure for a few years, and the show is not a matter of hand?
Thanks to the cooperation of the Turin police, he was also arrested in the detention cell, otherwise, even if he asked for an explanation, he would only be a bystander, and most people would think that he had nothing to do.
But when it comes to his reputation, Aldrich has won people's hearts on the basis of show, so why not?
Stepping into April, Millwall fought on three fronts. The FA Cup was planted first. Fell in the top 8. The ability of substitutes to play tough battles is still limited, especially in the absence of the main force to press the formation, once the offense cannot open the situation, the mentality becomes impatient, and the opponent will be given an opportunity to take advantage of, even Xiao Luo is no exception in this regard, after all, he has not experienced many professional games, and mental training is a process that cannot be rushed.
The league performance is also very good. The points gap with Manchester United has not been widened, but narrowed by one point, but the situation in the league has become very stale, Arsenal's second half of the season is a rhythm against the sky, every battle must be won, God can't stop it, Millwall is still third, but Arsenal and Manchester United are only 1 point away, especially sandwiched between the Champions League 1/4 finals of a key battle, Arsenal defeated Manchester United by one goal away. This not only directly narrowed the points gap, but also dealt a heavy mental blow to Manchester United.
With five rounds left in the league. All three teams have a chance of winning the title.
Aldridge is a normal player in the league, the main team keeps playing once a week, if the Champions League game is in the middle of the week, it will inevitably let the main players recuperate, and the previous weekend's league will let the substitutes charge.
The Champions League semi-final opponent is Monaco from Ligue 1.
Coincidentally, the two teams met in the pre-season warm-up game, and the scene was full of sparks, Millwall contributed a goal shootout with Monaco at home, 4:4.
Aldrich felt that providence had made people.
In the semi-finals of last year's European Cup Winners' Cup, he faced Fernandes, and this year's Champions League semi-finals, he met Tigana.
Not only are they French teams, but they are also the managers with whom he has a good relationship.
The day before the semi-finals, Aldridge attended the club's official UEFA press conference.
Millwall still play home first, then away.
"I don't think there's any difference between home and away and away and home, if Millwall had first thought about the away goal advantage and focused on that, then we would never have been able to reach the final because it was a mental cowardice, although Manchester United were eliminated by Monaco's away goal advantage, but it was not a decisive factor, the deeper meaning is: Monaco are better, although they drew 0-0 at home, they eliminated 1-1 away from home. It's not a numbers game, it's a team play, some people may think it's a factor of luck, but there is no strength as a basis, and good luck will not befall you for nothing. ”
In the end, which is more advantageous to host before guest or guest before host?
Aldridge is not interested in thinking about this, anyway, the reality is: he has to emphasize that the home and away team will not affect the team!
Otherwise, wouldn't it only increase the psychological pressure on the players?
What's more, they eliminated Juventus at home and away first, so they should not take such a schedule seriously and concentrate on playing well, rather than letting other factors affect their mentality.
Fleet Street analysis believes that Millwall's suspense of reaching the final is not large, and Monaco and Millwall's strength cannot be compared at all.
Monaco is the leader of the big teams in Ligue 1 this season, Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux, Marseille and other traditional powerhouses are behind them, but unfortunately, Monaco is still only ranked third in the league, and there is a big gap between the top two, unless the Champions League wins, the traditional giants of Ligue 1 will miss the Champions League next season, and the two teams competing for the title in Ligue 1 are a big surprise: Lens and Metz.
Monaco are in a similar position to Millwall, but they have not performed the same in the Champions League.
Aldridge said in a low-key manner that this matchup was a fierce battle between two teams of equal strength, and no one had a clear advantage.
He is hypocritical.
He is very confident of reaching the final and the players are full of confidence.
Playing Monaco, he has to play the style of Millwall, without the many tactical constraints that he did against Juventus.
It rained lightly in London on the night of the match, and the rain was not heavy, but it certainly had some impact on the game.
As the players prepared in the tunnel of players, Aldridge and Tigana stood on the sidelines and had a pleasant conversation.
"Fernandez texted me and asked me to finish you."
Tigana's words made Aldrich laugh and say, "He's really holding a grudge, by the way, where has he been lately?" ”
'He's been offered by some Spanish clubs and he's thinking about it.'
"Spain, well, at least there is something similar to the style of Ligue 1, Latin style, can you keep that young man in your team?"
"You're so annoying! Talking about this at this time, it is estimated that it will not be able to be kept, what, are you interested? Now I can consider selling him to you in the summer, but only after the World Cup is over. ”
"Would he like to come and play as a substitute?"
"I guess it's unlikely that they will."
Aldrich frowned and thought for a long time.
Henry, ah Henry, it is estimated that there will be no 10 million pounds after the World Cup, and after taking it, it will be given the main position, even if Shevchenko goes, Xiao Luo will be on top.
If you buy him, will it take another season to train him?
And it's still a substitute to start.
Aldridge said to Tigana before the game: "Keep in touch, give me a message before selling him, I haven't made up my mind yet, money shouldn't be a problem." ”
Indeed, money will not be an issue, and if Shevchenko leaves in the summer, it will bring in a lot of transfer income. (To be continued......)
