Chapter 36: The leaderboard clash lifted

In England, to measure the loyalty of a fan, to support the team away is a yardstick and a benchmark. Compared to a football hooligan who does not care about football and wants to vent the violence under the guise of the game, the real fan organization will organize the fans. Go away to support their beloved team.
Although the "Roar" fan organization was not established for a long time, Brady organized a team of more than 200 people to go to North Yorkshire. After the last home victory over Luton, "Roar Roar" had more fans joined As a leader of the organization, Brady also quickly established an image among the fans, and also regulated the code of conduct within the fan organization. At least fighting alcoholism is strictly prohibited.
After the release of the Taylor report, Middlesbrough also built a new stadium, but the plan is to put it into use next summer: the Riverside Stadium.
The 94/95 season is the last season of Middlesbrough at Aya Sumy Park Stadium. After the stadium was changed to a seat, the capacity was only 20,000, but the historical significance of this stadium is not small. The World Cup, Aya Sumy Park Stadium and Sunderland's Low Processing Park Stadium are all host venues in the Northeast Division.
Brady and their team of more than two hundred people came out of the Aya Sumy Park stadium wearing Millwall's dark blue jersey and walked in under the guidance of the visiting team entrance. They stood orderly on the stands and did not sit down. It is customary for the fans of the home and guest teams to be separated. Middlesbrough fans, who are closer to the stands of the visiting team fans, watched Brady nervously.
Millwall thugs are here!
The Millwall gangsters did not stop here last season. During the game, the Middlesbrough fans scolded each other, provoke each other, even throwing debris and so on.
There are few clubs in England that welcome Millwall fans.
No wonder the fans of the home team are ready to fight back against Millwall's provocations.
But today they were surprised to see these young fans standing on the stands of the visiting team fans. They held their heads high and suddenly sang a rock rhythm team song that was neat and dynamic.
"No matter where you go, we will follow you to death!"
"No one likes it, we don't care!"
...
England's old-fashioned stadiums are already small, and the singing of more than two hundred people easily spread throughout the Aya Sumy Park stadium.
Most Middlesbrough fans were relieved.
Sing and sing, as long as you don’t make trouble, you can watch the ball.
Soon, the fans in Middlesbrough also began to sing. Before the game began, the fans' battle began in the singing.
When the players of the two teams were ready to play, Aldridge had come to the sidelines and he could clearly hear the singing of Millwall fans.
The song "No one likes it, we don't care", this song is actually very good in terms of the song itself, but this slogan is also a bit extreme, with a stubborn will in the stubbornness, which is opposite their dead rival West Ham The United team is in stark contrast. The fans of the Hammer Gang are always singing that they are blowing bubbles, which is an optimistic and positive attitude.
Perhaps this is the charm beyond detached football.
East London has been in decline since World War II. Compared with West London and the prosperity of North London, people in southeast London are either unyielding or optimistic.
Middlesbrough’s head coach also came out. Brian Robson apparently didn’t have the idea of ​​playing today. He was dressed neatly and took a steady pace. He first came to the visiting team’s coach seat.
As the head coach of the home team, there is nothing wrong with saying hello to the head coach of the visiting team before the game. It is a kind of etiquette to treat guests on the court. It is normal for chats between the head coaches who have friendship to chat before the game.
Middlesbrough and Millwall are just normal games. It is understandable to greet each other.
"Mr. Hall, Ferguson's old man made me want to be careful with you a hundred times."
Brian Robson stretched out his hand at Aldridge with a smile, Aldridge also smiled, and after holding the big hand of the opponent, he whispered: "Is that old fox fancy my player?"
Aldridge did not believe that Ferguson would target his team for no reason. Although there were two players on loan from Manchester United in the team, in the Premier League, Aldridge’s main lineup, Beckham and Neville even The bench list can't get in, who makes England have only five bench players.
In addition, Manchester United’s state of the season is not good. Odds, who occasionally pays attention to Premier League news, knows that Manchester United is in a transitional period of replacement. Ferguson is about to say that to Robson, and most of them are following Millwall. Just a few new players.
Brian Robson was surprised, but nodded and smiled: "Yes, the old man is very interested in Henrique Larson of Millwall."
Aldridge raised his eyebrows, and his heart was clear. Manchester United’s striker partner is now Cantonaga Mark Hughes, but Mark Hughes is over 30 years old, and his goal efficiency is not as good as before. Manchester United needs a new striker. This is no longer a secret.
"Eh? Didn't he have a crush on Andy Cole? Why did he still play my player's idea?"
Brian Robson smiled bitterly: "Newcastle United's asking price is too high, Keegan's will not make the old man want to do it."
Aldrich nodded his head to understand that the grievances between Kevin Keegan and Ferguson had already spread throughout England. Who gave Keegan Liverpool blood?
Larson's goal efficiency in the Premier League is amazing, and his performance on the court cannot be said to exceed expectations. After all, his transfer fee is also a heavy aid this summer. Is Ferguson favored?
Aldridge blinked at Brian Robson and whispered: "Well, have a look after this season, maybe Larson is free at the end of the season."
Brian Robson's eyes widened in surprise, feeling incredible!
Did Millwall spend a lot of money to introduce such a super efficient striker, only one season?
But he didn't ask any more questions, and after the two smiled at each other, Robson turned and walked back to the home team coach.
Aldridge smirked, Manchester United wanted to dig people, he can not stop, but he can set up a lot of obstacles for Manchester United, including players salary.
As long as he upgrades this season, Larson’s weekly salary will be tens of thousands, and Aldridge will re-sign a new contract with all the players in the club next summer. After all, the end of next year will be the implementation time of the Bosman Act. Next year In the summer he will use a long contract to keep the players firmly in his hands.
And Manchester United’s salary system, I’m sorry, now Manchester United is a listed company, the club is operating in an enterprise era, the football club is responsible to shareholders, the salary expenditure is strictly controlled, it is rumored that later Kantona retired, also with the contract salary Unable to be satisfied has a lot to do.
Today's game is the first battle of the League One, and the evening TV broadcast is also the highlight.
When the players played, the narrator began to introduce the roster of both players with passion.
"Welcome to the Aya Sumy Park Stadium, tonight there will be a first-place match in the Premier League, against the two teams that have shown unexpectedly this season, the league's ninth-ranked Middles last season Under the leadership of new coach Brian Robson this season, Fort has achieved an impressive record of six wins, two draws and one loss in the first nine rounds of the league, but what is even more unexpected is that before the season, experts predicted that the relegated popular Mill However, Wall ranked first in the league after nine rounds. Like Middlesbrough, they only lost one game in the first nine rounds of the league and tied two games. Their goals scored second in the Premier League, only better than firepower. The more intense Wolves have one less ball, but their defense seems to be unassailable. In the nine-round league, they only lost two goals. It’s amazing. Eighteen-year-old head coach Audrey Hall will take his What kind of history are the boys making this season? This is what everyone cares about now, and today's game will be a real test for Millwall!"
Aldridge looked at Middlesbrough starting eleven, which was no different from what he predicted at the pre-match preparation meeting.
This is the limitation of Brian Robson as a coach who can only watch the food. It is difficult to have a team in the lineup, and he can only put out the most stable and powerful lineup.
Middlesbrough lacks powerful midfielders, but there are a lot of powerful defenders, so Brian Robson can only put up a five-back formation and move the full-back to the center-forward position. , Gives the midfielder more space and can almost move freely in the frontcourt.
In any case, although this tactical arrangement is helpless, it is also reasonable. I changed Aldridge. I am afraid that no better changes can be made. Especially the age of these players has been difficult to change their playing methods and habit.
"Middlesbrough at home is wearing a traditional red jersey today. Their starting players are, goalkeeper: Alan Miller, defenders: Curtis Fleming, Durec White, Nigel Pearson , Steve Wicks, Neil Cowes, midfielder: Clayton Blackmore, Robbie Marstow, Craig Highnet, forward: John Thirty Hendry partnered with Graham Cavana, 20 years old."
"Let's take a look at the starting lineup of Millwall wearing a blue jersey. Their average age is about four years younger than Middlesbrough. Goalkeeper: Katherine Keller, defender: Lilian Thuram , Gareth Southgate, Yap Stam, Lucas Neal, midfielders: Bernd Schneider, Claude Makelele, Pavel Nedved, Robert Piley, strikers: Henrik Larson, David Trezeguet. It is worth noting that the combination of Larson and Trezeguet is the most goals scored in the Premier League. And they are still very young. Let’s see what they can do in front of Middlesbrough’s tenacious defense. Audience friends, this round of the first round of the Premier League is about to start, Millwall kicks off!"
With the whistle of the referee, Trezeguet lightly flicked the ball under his feet, and Larsen kicked the ball to the backcourt.
In the tenth round of the Premier League, the top battle begins!
