The Young Lion

In England, to measure the loyalty of a fan, going to the away game to support the team is a measure and benchmark. Compared with football hooligans who don’t care about football and only want to vent violence under the guise of the game, the fans’ organizations in the true sense will organize fans. Go away to support their beloved team.

Although the Lion Roar fan organization has not been established for a long time, Brady still organized a team of more than 200 people to go to North Yorkshire together. After the last home victory over Luton, Lion Roar has more fans to join , Brady, as the leader of the organization, quickly established an image among the fans, and the code of conduct was also regulated within the fan organization. At least fighting and drinking are strictly prohibited.

Since the Taylor Report, Middlesbrough have also built a new stadium, but the plan is to open it next summer: the Riverside Stadium.

The 94/95 season was Middlesbrough's last season at the Ayersume Park Stadium. After the stadium was converted into seats, the capacity was only in the early 20,000s, but the historical significance of this stadium is not small. In 1966, the local The World Cup, Ayersummer Park and Sunderland's Loga Park are all host venues for the North East Division.

Brady and his group of more than 200 people wearing Millwall's dark blue jerseys came to the outside of the Ayersume Park Stadium, and walked in from the entrance of the visiting team under the guidance. They stood in the stands in an orderly manner and did not sit down. It is customary for the fans of the home and away teams to be separated. The Middlesbrough fans who are closer to the visiting team's fans stand looked at Brady and them nervously.

The Millwall thugs are coming!

The Millwall hooligans have never stopped here last season. During the game, they and Middlesbrough fans abused each other, provoked each other, and even threw debris at each other.

There are almost no clubs in England that welcome Millwall fans.

It's no wonder that the fans of the home team are on the verge of a formidable enemy, always ready to counter Millwall's provocation.

But today they were surprised to see these young fans standing in the stands of the visiting team fans. With their heads held high, they suddenly sang the team song full of rock rhythm, which was neat and dynamic.

Wherever you go, we will follow you until death!

No one likes it, we don't care!

 …

England's old-fashioned stadium is inherently small, and the singing of these two hundred people easily spread throughout the entire Aiyasumi Park Stadium.

Most Middlesbrough fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Just sing and sing, as long as you don't make trouble, just watch the football well.

Not long after, the Middlesbrough fans also started to sing. Before the game started, the fans' battle started with the singing.

When the players of the two teams were ready to play, Aldridge had already come to the sidelines, and he could clearly hear the singing of the Millwall fans.

The song No one likes, 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 tenacious will in its stubbornness, which is similar to that of their deadly rival West Ham United was a stark contrast, with Hammers fans singing that they were blowing bubbles, which was an upbeat attitude.

Perhaps this is the charm beyond football.

East London has been in decline since World War II. Compared with the prosperity of West London and North London, people in southeast London are either unyielding and tenacious, or optimistic.

The head coach of Middlesbrough also came out, Bryan Robson obviously had no intention of playing today,

Dressed neatly and walking steadily, he first walked towards the coaching bench of the visiting team.

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 was just a normal game between Middlesbrough and Millwall, and there is nothing wrong with greeting each other.

Mr. Hall, that old man in Ferguson told me to be a hundred times more careful with you.

Brian Robson smiled and stretched out his hand to Aldrich. Aldridge also smiled, and after holding the opponent's big hand, he leaned forward and whispered: Did the old fox take a fancy to my player?

Aldridge did not believe that Ferguson would stare at his team for no reason. Although there were two players on loan from Manchester United in the team, in the League One, Aldridge's main lineup included Beckham and Neville. The substitute list cannot be entered. Who makes England only have five substitute players now.

In addition, the state of Manchester United this season is not good. Aldrich, who occasionally pays attention to the news of the Premier League, knows that Manchester United is in a transitional period of renewal and replacement is imminent. Ferguson can say that to Robson. Just a few new players.

Brian Robson was a little surprised, but he nodded and smiled: Yes, the old man is very interested in Henrik Larson of Millwall.

Aldridge raised his brows slightly, knowing that Manchester United's striker partner is Cantona and Mark Hughes, but Mark Hughes is over 30 years old, and his scoring efficiency is not as good as before. Manchester United needs a new striker. It's no secret anymore.

Eh? Didn't he have his eye on Andy Cole? Why are you still thinking about my players?

Brian Robson smiled bitterly: Newcastle United's asking price is too high, that bastard Keegan will not let the old man get what he wants.

Aldridge nodded to express his understanding. The grievances between Kevin Keegan and Ferguson have already spread throughout England. Who made Keegan have Liverpool blood?

Larsson's scoring efficiency in League One is astonishing, and his performance on the court cannot be said to have exceeded expectations. After all, his transfer fee is considered a heavy signing this summer. Was Ferguson fancy?

Aldrich winked at Brian Robson, and said softly, Well, let's see after this season is over, maybe Larson will be free at the end of the season.

Bryan Robson's eyes widened in surprise, feeling incredible!

Millwall spent a lot of money to introduce such a super efficient striker, only one season?

But he didn't ask any more questions. After the two smiled at each other, Robson turned and walked back to the home team's coaching bench.

Aldridge pursed his lips and smiled lowly. He couldn't stop Manchester United from poaching people, but he could set up many obstacles for Manchester United, including player salaries.

As long as this season is promoted, Larson's weekly salary will be in the tens of thousands, and Aldridge will re-sign a new contract with all the club's players next summer. After all, the end of next year is the implementation time of the Bosman Act. In the summer, he will use a long-term contract to firmly hold the players in his hands.

As for Manchester United's salary system, I'm sorry, now Manchester United is a listed company, and the club is operating in an era of corporateization. The football club has to be responsible to the shareholders, and the salary expenditure is strictly controlled. Not being satisfied has a lot to do with it.

Today's game is the first battle of League One, and the TV broadcast in the evening can be regarded as the highlight.

When the players came out, the commentator enthusiastically began to introduce the lineups of both sides.

Welcome to the Aiyasumi Park Stadium. Tonight there will be a league top game against two teams that have performed surprisingly well this season. Middles, who ranked ninth in the league last season. Under the leadership of the new coach Brian Robson this season, Fort has achieved a good record of six wins, two draws and one loss in the first nine rounds of the league. Wall, however, ranked first after nine league rounds. Like Middlesbrough, they only lost one game and drew two games in the first nine rounds of the league. Their number of goals ranked second in League One, only better than Firepower. The fiercer Wolves have one goal less, but their defense seems to be impeccable. They only conceded two goals in nine league rounds. What kind of history will the boys create this season? This is what everyone cares about now, and today's game will be a real test for Millwall!

Aldridge looked at Middlesbrough's starting XI, which was no different from what he had predicted in the pre-match pre-match meeting.

This is the limitation of Brian Robson as a coach who can only watch food and eat. It is difficult to have surprise soldiers in the lineup, and he can only put on the most stable and powerful lineup.

Middlesbrough lacks a strong midfielder and has a lot of strong defensive players, so Bryan Robson can only play five defenders and move the winger to the central midfielder. , gave the central midfielder more space, almost able to move freely in the frontcourt.

In any case, although such a tactical formation arrangement is helpless, it is also reasonable. If Aldridge is replaced, I am afraid that no better changes can be made, especially because of the age of these players, it is already difficult to change their way of playing. Habit.

Middlesbrough are playing at home today in the traditional red jersey. Their starting line-up is: Goalkeeper: Alan Miller, Defenders: Curtis Fleming, Durek White, Nigel Pearson , Steve Weeks, Neil Cowes, Midfielders: Clayton Blackmore, Robbie Masto, Craig Hegnett, Forwards: Thirty-year-old John Hendry is paired with 20-year-old Graham Kavanagh.

Let's take a look at the starting XI of Millwall in the blue jersey. Their average age is about four years younger than Middlesbrough. Goalkeeper: Caserly Keller, Defender: Lilian Thuram , Gareth Southgate, Jaap Stam, Lucas Neal, Midfielders: Bernd Schneider, Claude Makelele, Pavel Nedved, Robert Pires, Forwards: Henrik Larsson, David Trezeguet. Remarkably, Larsson-Trezeguet is the most goalscoring combination in League One , and they are still very young, let's see what they can do in front of Middlesbrough's tenacious defense today. Audience friends, this round of League One is about to start, and Millwall kicks off first!

Following the whistle of the referee, Trezeguet flicked the ball under his feet, and Larson took advantage of the opportunity to kick the ball to the backcourt.

In the tenth round of the League One, the top battle kicked off!
