Chapter 57 The Millwall Visitor

On April 21st, the No.40 round of the league.Nottingham Forest host Burnley.

"There are three rounds left in the league, and the rankings of the top six in the standings have changed after the last round of the league. Since fourth-ranked Reading lost a goal at home to Forest, they have been overtaken by Wolves and dropped to the Fifth. The points from No.6 to No.71 are 69, 10, and [-] respectively. Look at these points! It really makes people look forward to the remaining three rounds of the league! After two consecutive away games, Tony Twain With his team back at City Stadium, what will be the score on the electronic scoreboard after nine [-] minutes?"

Ninety-ten minutes later, Twain stood on the sidelines and shook hands with the head coach of the visiting team in a high spirited manner, with a bright smile on his face.Diagonally above him, the electronic scoreboard at the top of the stand freezes the final score of the half-time game: 10:2.According to international practice, the home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Nottingham Forest won their second consecutive victory. Even though the teams ranked in the signature list all won, there was no change in the standings, and it didn't hurt Tang En's good mood.Because his team has locked in the promotion play-off spot two rounds in advance.

On April 26, League No.40 had five rounds, the penultimate round.Nottingham away to Rotherham`United.

Rotherham is very similar to Forest's opponent Burnley in the last round. They are both in the middle of the rankings. There is no worry about relegation and no hope of promotion.They lack enough fighting spirit for the last few rounds of the league.Perhaps these players are now preoccupied with where to go on vacation, or use the summer transfer window to go to a better team.Such a team is an opponent of Nottingham Forest, it is like a pizza delivery boy.

Hungry Forest drew a fine 2-0 away at Rotherham as top scorer Marlon Halewood took his tally to 24 league goals for the season and his strike partner David John Sen also scored his own No.20 goal.

The final stage of the league was quite perfect for Tang En, and now there is only one opponent left...

He turned his eyes to the wall calendar, and under the red circle of May [-]th, eight days later, there was a line of small characters, which was the name of their opponent—Millwall (Millwall).

May 57th, at [-]:[-] p.m.City Stadium

A lively lion raised its front paws and roared. With the swing of the fans' hands, it seemed that it would jump off the blue flag at any time and bite its prey.

About 100 fans of the visiting team gathered outside the stadium and slowly marched towards the city stadium.And most ordinary Forest fans consciously detoured when they saw this blue phalanx.So that they didn't have any obstacles along the way.

Of course there are those who are not afraid of death.On both sides of this group of Millwall fans, there were also about a hundred fans wearing red Forest jerseys, shouting and cursing, making many insulting gestures to those Millwall fans.Millwall fans fought back with words and gestures in the phalanx, but the two sides did not rush forward to fight together.

Because the two groups of fans are separated by a large number of British policemen in bright yellow vests.They were fully armed and stared warily at the fans on both sides.

For the city of Nottingham, today is the weakest and most stressful time of the year.Because the Millwall fans are here.

The Millwall club may be one of the few clubs in the world whose fans are more famous than the team itself.As a small team in south London, they don't have many achievements and honors to show off, and they don't have any big-name stars.But they have the most powerful fan base in the UK, and possibly the world.

Millwall has some of the most notorious football hooligans in England.

At an intersection, the group of lions stopped, and the police surrounded them, where they had to wait for the Forest team bus to pass.Even if they stopped, they still scolded the Forest fans on the periphery.

Three car horns sounded ahead, and a red bus slowly drove into the sight of these people.

Immediately, the blue Millwall fans dropped the Forest fans on the outside and pointed their insults at the Forest players sitting in the car. Some even leaned over excitedly to find bricks to smash the car.At this time, the two lines of police officers surrounding them played their due role - struggling to push back those fans who wanted to cross the line.

Even though the sound insulation of the bus with the windows closed was very good, Twain could still hear the voices of the Millwall fans outside.They pursed their mouths, and it sounded like "F" at first glance, "fuck" and "fuck", and kept raising their middle fingers, with hideous faces.After leading the team for half a season, it was the first time Tang En saw such ferocious fans. It felt like they didn't come to watch the game, but came to find fault and fight.

In order to confront the Millwall fans, the Forest fans who gathered together also began to fight back with foul language loudly, which attracted Tang En's attention.He easily found the familiar face in the crowd - Mark Hodge.

This middle-aged man who usually looks a bit polite, his neck was flushed with blood, his face was ferocious, he gritted his teeth and growled at the other party, like an angry bulldog.

"Football hooligans..." Dunn whispered the words Walker told him in the bar that night.

Walker beside him noticed that Dunn had noticed the situation outside, and he looked over his head, obviously used to it. "Tony, this is all pediatrics now. When you get to the stadium later, when the game starts, I will guarantee you an eye-opener."

Tang En looked at him.

"When the time comes, we'll need to shout for this kind of communication." Walker laughed, comparing the distance between the two with his hands. "And still yelling in my ear."

While talking, the bus has already left this intersection full of suppressed violent emotions, and turned to the team's exclusive parking lot.Tang En could only see a few fluttering flags and blurred figures in red and blue when he turned his head.The singing of the forest fans disappeared, and Dunn knew that this group of people must be scolding each other again.

Dunn felt that after not having in-depth contact with Mark Hodge, now he can more or less understand the thinking of these football hooligans: to insult opponents for the team he likes, to fight with the opponent's fans for the team he likes Fighting, for their favorite team... they can even die.
