On May 31st, at 2 p.m., the Lion King Stadium was full, more than 60,000 spectators stood in the stands under the scorching sun, these Lions fans from all over the world, their posture today is obviously different from usual, there is no nervous or wild posture, but it is extraordinarily relaxed, laughter can be seen everywhere, three or five friends twisted their bodies in the stands as if dancing, of course, the stadium was playing dynamic pop music before, but after the end, many people have not yet left that comfortable state.

There was a huge portrait of Gareth Southgate's head fluttering in the stands, and many fans held up a shirt with the number 6 printed on it, in different versions, you can find different styles of Millwall's shirts from 11 years, home and away, and even the third edition of the season.

In this retirement game, Millwall invested a lot of money and invited Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, the gold medal commentator pair, from Sky Sports to be the commentator of the retirement game, which is completely unnecessary, but Millwall is so capricious.

Even the referees of the retirement game, they invited Corina to take the role, so that the specifications of the game seemed to have risen to a high level invisibly.

Would Corina be willing to come?

Why refuse?

You must know that today's game, the stars are shining, the stars are shining, and most of the outstanding stars of European football are gathered here.

Before the start of the retirement match, the scene began to heckle, and even the excited screams of a woman with a small decibel were heard!

Aldridge, who had been wearing suits and leather shoes until then, originally planned to go back to the locker room to change his shirt, but under Southgate's "rebellion". Players from both sides who are ready to start. Aldrich was surrounded one after another.

Southgate. Elgra, Trezeguet and the others stared at Aldrich like a playful look, and Southgate said loudly: "Boss, take it off!" ”

Aldrich got into the mouth of the tiger and pretended to be dazed and asked, "What?" ”

But his eyes were rolling around, trying to find a breakthrough and rush out, Xiao Luo immediately reminded: "Don't let him run!" He's distracting us! ”

Now the crowd around him tightened even more, and Southgate smiled and played: "Boss." For the past 11 years, I have been under your command every day, and now, I am retiring, I am free! Today, it's time for you to listen to me once, change your shirt here, and if you use your lack of underwear as an excuse, then let's check it out as well. Make sure you're not lying. ”

"Take it off! Take off! Off "

The crowd around him was heckling, even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was standing in front of the bench. Vieira, they all shouted.

Gattuso saw that Aldrich did not move, so he said, "Let's help him!" ”

As soon as he said that, he was about to make a move, which startled Aldrich, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Okay, good, I'll take it off, I'll take it off!" ”

If this continues, Aldrich is really afraid that there will be a psychological shadow.

So this scene made the audience feel excited and funny.

It is not new for players to be stripped naked, or to wear a pair of underwear, and it is believed that many spectators, especially women, were interested in witnessing Aldridge's change of clothes.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Aldridge had already put on his jersey in advance after taking off his suit.

Xiao Luo covered his head and sighed: "Damn, he cheats!" ”

The players instantly made a coaxing sound, and Aldrich said "aggrievedly": "You didn't tell me that I would come to this play, otherwise, I would really cooperate with you." ”

Gattuso suddenly shouted, "Then let's help you put on your jersey again!" ”

Aldridge immediately ran away, pointed at Corina and shouted: "Referee, give him a red card!" ”

Corina shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Gentlemen, let's start playing." ”

Southgate's pre-exit hiccup passed.

However, when the game is about to start and the 22 people of the two teams enter the stadium, the crowd will not be able to stand up, and there will always be many people holding back laughter, or simply laughing out loud in the stands!

Because Aldridge wore a jersey and entered the field as a player, this picture, no matter how you look at it, is a little unbearable.

"Ahem, today is the day of the retirement of the England national team and Millwall legend Southgate, at the Lion King Stadium, a retirement match was held here, and many active players were invited to participate, including many former teammates who used to play for Millwall and Southgate, as well as top stars of the English national team, according to the news we got, the game is divided into two parts, the first half, is the Millwall veterans against the Millwall first team, In the second half, Southgate's friends played against England Stars, and there was no doubt that Southgate would play the whole game, and in the first half, in the Millwall first team, we saw a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar, that was Millwall manager Sir Aldrich Hall, he didn't stand on the sidelines, he played, hehehe, it was an incredible scene. ”

When Southgate was asked in an interview if he had any regrets in his career, he sternly said that he had no regrets, but jokingly added: that is, he did not play a game with Sir Hall, and specifically said that he wanted Sir Hall to be his opponent. Hehe, in order to satisfy him, or make up for his 'regrets', in his retirement game today, Sir Hall took off his suit and went into battle! From the point of view of the position on the field, uh, Sir Hall is playing as a winger, maybe there will really be a head-to-head duel with Southgate! ”

In the first half, Millwall first team VS Millwall veterans!

Millwall's first team started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Silva, Lahm.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: Aldridge, Henry, Ronaldo.

Millwall veterans started 433.

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca.

Defenders: Thuram, Southgate, Elguera, Capdevilla.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved.

Forward: Larsson. Trezeguet. Shevchenko.

Belch. Millwall's first team 'manager' was Alex Ferguson.

The "manager" of Millwall's veterans is Arsene Wenger.

The two coaches were brought in by Aldridge to help, which was regarded as adding glory to this retirement game.

In the guest seat, there are also Tigana, Fernandez, Heynckes and other friends who Aldridge did not know each other in the past, and then maintained a good relationship in private.

The retirement match is actually an amateur friendly match.

There won't be so many rules and regulations, and it's hard to say how exciting and intense it is. It's like a relaxing game of football between friends.

However, the invited guests were too deep into the play.

Ferguson, presumably harboring a grudge against Aldrich, finally had a chance to take revenge.

From the very beginning of the game, he kept pointing at Aldrich on the sidelines to "scold"!

And the strange thing is that the more Aldrich looks bad, the more excited he sprays, but after spraying, he always laughs even happier!

Wenger maintained a gentle and elegant state, probably because he had a grudge with Ferguson for a long time, muttering and muttering that Ferguson came to steal the spotlight today. It's so out of measure!

Disrespectful for the old!

At the beginning of the game, Aldridge was still warming up. To be honest, he usually plays football, but it's just for amateur entertainment.

Although he has commanded many games under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, or even more than 100,000 people on the spot, his mentality has long been unexciting, but he has never played under the gaze of so many people!

Originally, the ball skills were very average, uh, very amateurish, and being watched by so many people, the more he wanted to do a good job, the more nervous he became, especially the other 21 players are professional players, in the case of comparison, how could he not panic?

He looked clumsy after the opening!

The pass was wrong, and he was stealed by Capdevilla, which led the team to lose the ball!

And it's two!

In the stands, Evan covered his mouth and was about to laugh like crazy, Bonnie was a little unhappy, and Earl and Bert were desperate to find a gap to get into.

Really!

Really!

When he puts on his jersey and goes to play, it's a shame!

Aldridge was depressed, especially since Ferguson was still falling into a well and spraying him very close to him!

Not to be outdone, Aldrich replied to him: "Alex, you can do it!" ”

Ferguson "glared" at him and shouted: "You are the player, I am the manager, you listen to me!" ”

Aldridge stopped talking and waved his hand to stop the game before restarting the game!

Well, Corina really allowed him to pause the game!

The spectators in the stands laughed and booed.

Aldrich, Aldrich, is there a case like you?

Isn't it just 0:2 behind?

What's wrong with letting Southgate win today?

Okay, okay, you have to communicate with your teammates, but you called a "timeout"!

It's not basketball!

The most amazing thing is that the game time on the electronic screen of the stadium has actually stopped!

This is beyond the category of "amateur", it is simply an absurd competition!

Martin Taylor and Andy Gray have already felt the urge to drop their headsets and give up the live commentary, and they don't even plan to ask for appearance fees.

What the hell is going to explain this?

To all spectators or listeners: In the 18th minute of the game, at the request of Millwall's first-team starter Aldrich Hall, the game came to a temporary standstill, and we can rest assured that this will not be a waste of regular time in the game, because the time standing still on the big screen tells us that the game is suspended and that the regular game time will only restart when the game resumes, and we will be back in the game in a moment!

But the spectators in the stands were very happy.

It was a sad day.

Southgate was leaving.

It is the prelude to the farewell of an era that belongs to Millwall.

It was also the beginning of an iconic era in Aldridge's tenure at Millwall.

Southgate is leaving, next, Nedved, Larsson, Schneider, their departure is not far away, and such a departure, without betrayal, may not be such a glorious scene, it will only let the fans who love the Lions, accompany the club reborn under Aldridge, through that period of "green years", that period of "pioneering and enterprising", that period of "subverting the old pattern", and that period of "reshaping the history of the Lions", the fans are full of infinite indescribable sadness.

Southgate's departure is not a glorious end, but there is nothing better than saying goodbye in joy, like everyone's blessing to him, so that his departure does not need to be discussed too deeply, only to leave in the laughter of everyone, and to be remembered by everyone. (To be continued......)
