The Young Lion

Platini stood up at the table, covered the wound with a tissue to stop the bleeding, and raised his hand to keep Aldrich.

He didn't want to have a hand-to-hand fight with Aldrich here. The force of the two blows just now made him understand: fighting, he can't beat this young man who is much younger than him!

He came to London to solve problems!

Even though he was beaten badly by Aldridge, he was still able to hold back and keep calm.

He still worried that Aldridge was setting him up.

He was forced to admit some remarks that would be used as evidence, so he said diplomatically: Mr. Hall, please stay! On behalf of UEFA's negligence in supervising the game, I apologize to you and everyone at Millwall Club. Including your fans! But the current situation is not what we want, and it must not be what you want. We should sit down and negotiate calmly and amicably to solve the current problems.”

Aldrich wiped his hands slowly. It was a little unlucky. His right hand was injured. When his left hand grabbed the glass and smashed Platini’s head, the palm was also cut by glass shards. The wound was not serious, but Also bleeding.

He wiped the wound, turned around, walked to the seat opposite Platini and sat down, intending to listen to the solution Platini said.

Although Platini's image at this time is rather embarrassing, at least he has a big stone in his heart.

As long as Aldrich is willing to sit down and talk, all problems will be solved.

Aldridge remained silent most of the time during this conversation, and his posture was quite tough.

In the end, the solution given by Platini, or the compensation for Millwall. Among them was the awarding of Millwall's second genuine Champions League trophy. Admit that Millwall's three consecutive Champions League titles from 2004 to 2006 have the right to preserve the authenticity of the Champions League.

Other commitments are less binding. What about strengthening the supervision of future competitions, ensuring that there will be no disputes in the competition environment, and so on.

Aldrich symbolically agreed before leaving.

Platini left London with a sigh of relief.

On the same night.

After Millwall announced its withdrawal from European competitions, Fleet Street wanted to talk to Millwall's staff to learn more about the inside story and Millwall's future plans.

more,

And the paparazzi want to know what the Millwall players think.

If Millwall does not participate in the Champions League in the future.

Will your masters and world-class superstars still stay in Millwall?

However, the players were given a gag order. Even if blocked by the paparazzi, they will keep silent.

But on that night, many media reporters on Fleet Street tracked down that most of the Millwall players drove to a nightclub in the city at night. They thought it was the degenerate indulgence after the players suffered a major defeat, but the reporters who sneaked into the nightclub It was found that the Millwall players were gathered in a box, and after many inquiries, they learned that there was no girl in the box.

Damn, come out to play, there is no woman, is that called playing?

Especially unusual. The king of nightclubs, Ronaldinho, is without a girl, and the good boy Kaka also entered a nightclub in London for the first time. Even Southgate, the famous Millwall star and now working in the FA, has come here.

They stayed in the nightclub box for about two hours, then the door of the box opened, and most of the players left. In the end, Ronaldinho and a few players were left playing in the nightclub with restraint for a while. leave.

The next day, Aldridge came to the club to work as usual, and the days would continue.

The Premier League weekend league will come on the next day, but he read today's newspaper and knew that the Millwall players had a party last night. Combined with the recent events of the team, he was a little helpless.

When the sun was setting, he returned to the office. The training for the league this day was step by step. No player wanted to talk to him about the team party last night. This is normal, but in this sensitive period, it will inevitably make Aldridge feel a little nervous. The idea of ​​being ostracized by players.

Players also have their own ideas, and Aldridge understands that.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, waiting for a player to knock on his office door and hand him a transfer application.

And now he has to sort out a set of rhetoric in his mind to persuade the players to stay.

This should also be normal, but Aldridge can't help feeling a little sad.

After waiting for a long time, Aldridge didn't wait for someone to knock on his door when his phone rang.

It was Carter calling.

Now you come to the Millwall press room, the club is holding a press conference.

Huh? What do you mean? Why don't I know?

The players of the team made their own decisions. Well, I agree, but I think you should come here now.

After Aldridge hung up the phone, he walked away quickly, his brows were tightly furrowed.

Players hold a press conference?

What are you doing? !

It's just out of order!

However, if the player really wants to leave, it is not the wisest way to directly announce to the outside world!

This will damage the reputation, and there are contract constraints. Such a formal public expression at the press conference will not only bear the infamy of a traitor, but also bear the constraints of the club's internal contract. The players will only suffer from controversy.

Aldridge came to the press room, and at the side door, Carter stopped him from rushing into the press conference, and just calmly stretched out his hand to signal him to look up the stage.

Naturally, the news hall was full of seats, and the aisles were also crowded with reporters.

On the stage, sitting in the middle is the captain De Rossi, and the players sitting on the left and right sides of him are Ronaldinho, Nesta, Henry, Kaka, Villa, Alonso, Nedved, La Erson, Silva, Ram, Bout.

De Rossi held a speech and spoke solemnly into the microphone.

As Millwall players we are proud and honored to play for this club, we have achieved everything here, we have been through a lot with the fans, we have overcome a lot of obstacles, especially under the leadership of manager Sir Hall. With the help of our team, we have achieved brilliant achievements in our careers. The unfair treatment Millwall encountered in the Champions League has made us unable to calm down. The club has made a decision to withdraw from European competitions indefinitely in the future, although that does not represent our players. However, here, I am not as the captain of Millwall, but as an ordinary player to announce: I will stick to the same position as the club, and I will not participate in the club’s intercontinental competitions until Millwall The day Millwall returns to Europe, whether I play for Millwall or not. There is a formal statement here, with my signature and some of my team-mates' signatures, it's our manifesto!

After saying that, De Rossi stood up, took out a printed statement from under the speech, and showed it to the public.

The reporters left the table one after another, gathered in front of the stage, took pictures with cameras, and recorded with videos.

The content of the statement is roughly that the player will no longer participate in the club's intercontinental competition until the day when the Millwall club returns to the European competition.

In the signing place, there are not only De Rossi's, but also Nedved, Larson, Ronaldinho, Henry, Villa, Kaka, etc., not only the players present, but also many who did not attend the press conference , Players who played a substitute role in Millwall, such as Neil, Pedretti, Lamour and so on.

However, there are no signatures of Ronaldo, Messi, Buffon, and Ramos on it, but at this time the media doesn't care much about who signed it and who didn't.

They were totally shocked!

Yes, Millwall's unilateral withdrawal from the European competition can only be said to be the club's withdrawal, which cannot represent the players.

And if a player wants to participate in the European war, he just needs to transfer and leave!

So in the past two days, the voices from Italy, Germany, Spain, and the major giants are: Hollow out Millwall!

On the one hand, the economic strength of Millwall’s withdrawal from the European War will decline day by day, and on the other hand, the attraction of the European War to players. Seeing that Millwall has started to play a leading role in g14 in the past two years, but g14 is an interest group, and it is inevitable to sway mercilessly when given the opportunity!

Just like Juventus was almost hollowed out, even Trezeguet, Del Piero and others who stayed in the team, considering their age, when Juventus returns to the top ranks, they will all be there At the end of the career, the value is constantly declining.

But now that this statement is revealed and publicly announced, what is the result?

This group of stars not only firmly stood on the united front with the Millwall club, but also discouraged other giants. It is conceivable that if other teams come to poach Millwall stars, then in the terms of the contract, the players will inevitably Add a clause not to participate in the European war!

if not? Don't you slap yourself in the face? Become a laughing stock!

This statement was historically known in this issue of sudden change in European football: the declaration of the mad lion!

Standing at the side door, Aldrich was shocked physically and mentally!

When the announcement was over, the serious De Rossi showed a smile. He and other teammates who stood up on the stage were about to leave from the side door, but they saw Aldridge with a dull face. The smile, the eyes are quite relaxed, even a little joking.

Yes, they didn't tell Aldrich about this matter today, not because they wanted to play a surprise attack, but between master and apprentice, everything was kept silent.

For many years, how many times, Aldrich sheltered them from the wind and rain, confronted the world for them, and sent the warmest encouragement and support to many of them when their lives were at a low point, helping them get out of the predicament and changing their lives. Send them to the top!

When the club is in unprecedented difficulties, facing the seemingly invincible behemoth, challenge the times, challenge the order, and resist the oppression of unfair fate!

This time, this time.

Aldrich Hall, Boss!

How can we let you go on alone again!

The sky is falling, we will carry it up together with you! (To be continued..)
