Chapter 57: Two-minute red card

In the final match of the League One, the Lion’s Cave Stadium was full of seats. From the stand that has been in full swing before the game, the fans are clearly in a good mood today, even though the outcome of the game is not important, but after all, it is the team’s last home stadium. The game, come here to support is a kind of praise to the team.
Millwall's main lineup, most of the players are sitting in the stands behind the bench, Larson, Nedved, Southgate, Pires and other suits and leather sit in a row, chatting casually with a relaxed look .
After the game ended, Aldridge did not want to celebrate the championship, a Premier League champion, there is no need to make players proud, he will call the team after the game to summarize the season, and then give the players a holiday.
When Aldridge came out of the player's tunnel, the fans stood up and applauded, and applause and cheers circled over the Lion's Cave Stadium.
The Hall family entered the Millwall club, and the young coach Odridge's first record of coaching the Premier League won the hearts of all fans.
The league points are about to leave a record score, the number of goals has reached 119, and the average number of goals exceeds 2.6. The players purchased for the team quickly became the heroes of fans.
In the Premier League next season, Millwall fans are full of expectations.
Aldridge raised his arms and applauded towards the stands above his head. Before walking to the coach seat, he saw the South Stand, and the Roaring Fans organization raised a huge banner.
"To favorite Aldridge: stay Larson!"
The Lion Roar fan organization is not Audridge's private property. At best, he gives the fan organization some convenience on the ticket. In other respects, he has no time to ask, but this fan organization has a soul.
Just before the start of the game, when the British media revealed that Manchester United intends to introduce Larson, the Roaring Fans organization wrote an open letter to the club, in which they hoped that the club would keep Larson to avoid such things as Sheringham and Cascari. Connaught departed and the incident happened again.
Cascarino only played in Millwall for three seasons, but he and Sheringham formed an unstoppable striker combination. Even now, Cascarino is still the top scorer in Marseille.
Sheringham is the pain of Millwall fans.
Sheringham, who joined the Millwall youth team at the age of 16, played for the team for eight years, then transferred to Nottingham Forest, and then returned to London to White Hart Lane.
Millwall fans want to forget Sheringham, but they always remember the goodness he brought to Millwall, but Sheringham is already the head scorer of the North London team, and Millwall fans can only look sad and watch the cold. .
Will Larson leave on the team?
Aldridge did not express his views to the outside world, but he has done a good job of thinking for the players internally.
For example, Larson and Aldridge have talked to him. If Larsson wants to go, Aldridge will not block it. Especially when joining traditional giants like Manchester United, what reasons does Aldridge block? The appeal of Millwall and Manchester United is simply not comparable.
However, Aldridge analyzed the situation for Larson from his standpoint.
Manchester United spent six million pounds to set a record for the transfer of 6 million pounds and introduced Andy Cole to replace the Welsh king Mark Hughes. After Cantona's return from the ban, will Larson have a main position in Manchester United?
Anyway, he is in Millwall, there are no injuries and attitude issues, Aldridge will definitely guarantee his starting position and team status.
As for other teams in England, the transfer fee is a hurdle, the salary is also a hurdle, coupled with the team's competitiveness and so on, Audridge convinced Larson to stay.
By the end of the season, the news of the renewal of the players in the team will be announced collectively, coupled with Aldridge's cold handling of the media questioning, this summer, Millwall will not usher in turmoil.
On the court, players from both sides have entered the field, and Aldridge also sat down on the coach seat, chatting happily with Jenson.
In the past season, the atmosphere in the team was good. Perhaps it was all due to the youth. The coaching staff also paid off through dedication. Looking at the team's invincibility in the League One, everyone is full of pride.
Swindon is determined to win this game. They want to win the relegation successfully, they must win the victory, so they have the momentum to fight back.
And Millwall's bench lineup, Aldridge sent a 433 formation, Phillips was in the middle of the striker, Glenshare and Solskjaer were on both sides, and the midfielder was Gattuso and Vieira. , Midfielder Barack, of the four backs, Lucas Neal continued to play the left back, Materazzi and Richards teamed up with two central defenders, and Zambrotta also became more and more stable on the right back.
Swindon is playing the traditional 442. After the game started, he used a long pass to create a threat.
For this set, Millwall's backup lineup is not afraid.
As England famous Brian Crawford said: If football has to fly around in the sky, why is turf not built in mid-air?
The more such a high-altitude fight, Millwall counterattack through the ground is more like a fish.
The mentality of the entire coaching staff is very relaxed, everyone is talking and laughing, Aldridge only occasionally glances at the situation on the court, the young player cherishes every game experience, he does not need to stand on the sidelines to supervise, the players on the court Naturally, the three armies serve.
But when the game reached the second minute, a shocking scene suddenly appeared on the court.
Svenden lifted the ball into Millwall's penalty area from midfield. The falling ball was easily headered by Materazzi and was given to Vieira in front. After Vieira received the ball, he organized an attack to fight back.
But the ball had just arrived at the feet of Barak, but the referee suddenly stopped the game and turned to run towards Millwall's backcourt.
Everyone's eyes were also cast on Millwall's backcourt.
I saw a Svenden striker who was rolling on the ground scolding angrily!
The Svenden striker screamed on the ground with his face covered in pain.
"what happened?"
Aldridge frowned and asked, he didn't see it just now.
The Babu probe in the coaching staff said: "It seems that Marco slaps Robbie Gates of the opponent on the ground!"
Aldridge got up from his seat, and a booing booing sounded at the Lions Stadium, because the referee showed a red card directly to Materazzi!
Materazz hit the ball without the ball?
Aldridge felt that he could really do it.
But, for what?
Arguing?
Is the opponent provoking?
Materazzi cannot be racially discriminated against.
"Marco, what happened?"
When Materazzi walked off the court with a gloomy face, Aldridge asked calmly. Materazzi's face was very ugly on the sidelines, his mouth moved, and finally he just shook his head and walked into the player channel.
Aldridge felt helpless, obviously Matrazzi was reluctant to say.
Materazzi was sent off in the first two minutes. Swindon immediately had a number advantage. Robbie Gates, who was rolling on the ground, also rubbed his face and stood up. He went to the sidelines to receive the treatment of the team doctor. There is indeed some redness on the outside, but there is no other major problem.
Aldridge glanced at the next door, waving his arms happily and letting the players seize the opportunity to attack the Svenden coach. With a sigh, Aldridge made a gesture on the sidelines, pointed to the back of the waist, and then toward the penalty area Finger pointing inside.
Millwall players are waiting for instructions from Audric. When this gesture is completed, Gattuso and Vieira immediately understand that the double-back defense is deeper in defense and forms a number advantage in the penalty area.
Anyway, Swindon is playing a long pass and is not in the midfield transition. The number of midfielders is inferior. The other party is not expected to use it. Moreover, Gattuso and Vieira, covering each other, it is enough for one person to be able to sweep in front of the penalty area. By the way, Barak will naturally delay slightly.
After making the adjustment, Aldridge returned to the coach seat, frowning angrily: "What the happened just now? Grass, this small stadium."
There is no big screen broadcast at Lion’s Cave Stadium, or you can watch a slow-motion replay.
Craig, like many fans in the stands, took a radio out of his pocket and started listening to the broadcast of the game.
After a while, as long as the fans in the stands took the ball, a booing explosion would erupt.
Craig explained to Aldridge with a wry smile: "The radio explained the whole process of restoring things. It seemed that Materazzi went forward after the header, Robbie Gates came to him and violated Matera. Qi."
"Agression? What action?"
Aldridge's brows tightened, and some did not understand that if Materazzi was the first party to be violated, the cunning on his court should have caused the opponent to get a red card.
Craig whispered: "The footage captured by the retransmission lens is, uh, Robbie Gates, he, he seems to have poked with his fingers, poked Materazzi's buttocks."
Including Aldridge, the entire coaching staff was dull.
The bench behind him also heard it. Someone couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Materazzi was chrysanthemum!
Aldridge used a lot of perseverance to hold back and smiled, and said to Jenson weirdly: "You comfort him, don't let him smash our locker room..."
Jenson immediately got up and still smiled before walking into the player tunnel.
