Platini stood up at the table, covering the wound with a tissue to stop the bleeding, while raising his hand to hold Aldridge.

He didn't want to stage hand-to-hand combat with Aldrich here, and the two power collisions just now made him understand: fighting, he can't do this young marshal who is much younger than him!

He came to London to solve the problem!

Even though he was beaten to the head by Aldridge, he was still able to hold back and stay calm.

He was still worried that Aldrich was playing tricks on him.

Forcing him to admit some of the remarks that would be used as evidence, he said diplomatically: "Mr. Hall, please stay!" On behalf of UEFA, I would like to apologise to you and everyone at Millwall FC for their failure to monitor the game, 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 existing problems. ”

Aldridge wiped his hands slowly, a little unlucky, his right hand itself was injured, and when his left hand smashed Platini's head by grabbing a glass, it was also cut by glass shards, and the wound was not big, but it was also bleeding.

He wiped his wound, turned around, and sat down in the seat opposite Platini, intending to hear the solution Platini had to say.

Although Platini's image at this time was more wolf-like, at least a big stone fell in his heart.

As long as Aldridge is willing to sit down and talk, there will be a turning point for the problem to be solved.

Aldridge remained silent for most of the conversation, and his stance was quite tough.

In the end, Platini offered the solution, or rather compensation for Millwall. Among them was the presentation of Millwall's second genuine Champions League trophy. Recognising Millwall's Champions League treble between 2004 and 2006 has the right to preserve the authenticity of the Champions League.

Other commitments are less binding. What is the strengthening of the supervision of future competitions, ensuring that the competition environment is not controversial, etc.

Aldrich symbolically agreed before leaving.

Platini left London relieved.

It was the same night.

After Millwall announced its withdrawal from European competitions, Fleet Street wanted to find out more about Millwall's staff and Millwall's future plans.

What's more, there are the paparazzi who want to know what the Millwall players think.

If Millwall don't play in the Champions League in the future.

Will you, the masters, the world-class superstars, stay at Millwall?

However, the player was given a gag order. Even if it is blocked by the paparazzi, it will keep its mouth shut.

But that night, a number of media reporters on Fleet Street tracked down most of Millwall's players who drove to a nightclub in the city at night, thinking that it was a "depraved and indulgent catharsis" after the players suffered a heavy defeat, but the reporters who mixed into the nightclub found that Millwall's players gathered in a box, and inquired about it and learned that there was no girl in the box.

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

Especially unusual. Xiao Luo, the king of nightclubs, has no daughters to accompany him, and Kaka, a good boy, has also entered a nightclub in London for the first time. Even Millwall legend Gareth Southgate, who now works in the FA, has arrived.

They spent about two hours in the nightclub box, then the box door opened, most of the players left, and finally Xiao Luo and a few players played in the nightclub for a while, and by the early hours of the morning they had all left.

The next day, Aldridge came to the club to work as usual, and the days still went on.

The Premier League weekend was coming the next day, but he read the newspaper today and found out that the Millwall players had a party last night, which made him a little frustrated by what had happened in the team recently.

As the sun set, he returned to the office, where the day's training for the league was in full swing, and no player wanted to talk to him about last night's team gathering, which was normal, but at this sensitive time, Aldridge inevitably felt like he was ostracized by the players.

The players also have their own ideas, and Aldridge understands them.

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

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

This should be normal, but Aldrich can't help but feel a little sad.

After waiting for a long time, Aldrich 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? ”

"It's the players who do it themselves, well, I agreed, but I think you should come over now."

Aldrich hung up the phone and hurried out, his brow furrowed.

Players holding a press conference?

What the?!

It's just out of place!

However, if the player is really leaving, it is not the wisest thing to announce it directly!

This would be reputationally damaging, and with the constraints of the contract, the player would only be controversial to be so formally and publicly expressed in a press conference that would be stigmatized as a traitor and subject to the club's internal contract.

Aldridge arrived in the press room, and at the side door, Carter stopped him from rushing into the press conference, and only calmly extended his hand to signal him to look at the stage.

Naturally, the press room was packed, and the aisles were crowded with reporters.

On the stage, sitting in the middle was captain De Rossi, and the players sitting in a row on his left and right were Ronaldo, Nesta, Thierry, Kaka, Villa, Alonso, Nedved, Larsson, Silva, Lahm, Bout.

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

"As Millwall players, we are proud to play for this club, here we have won a qiē accolade, we have been through a lot of difficulties with the fans, we have overcome a lot of obstacles, especially with the help of the manager Sir Hall, we have achieved a brilliant career, the unfair treatment of Millwall in the Champions League has made us unable to calm down, the club has made the decision to withdraw from European competition indefinitely in the future, although that does not represent the position of us as players, but, Here, I am not the captain of Millwall, but just an ordinary player: I will stick to the club's position and I will not play in the club's continental competitions until the day Millwall returns to European competition, whether I play for Millwall or not. There's an official statement here, with my signature, and some of my teammates' signatures, and it's our manifesto! ”

De Rossi stood up, pulled out a printed statement from under his speech, and held it up to show it.

The reporters left their seats one after another, gathered in front of the stage, filmed with their cameras, and recorded them with video.

The statement was roughly that the player would no longer compete in the club's continental competitions until the day Millwall returned to European competition.

In the signing place, there are not only De Rossi's, but also Nedved, Larsson, Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Villa, Kaka, etc., not only the players here, but also many players who did not attend the press conference and played a substitute role at Millwall, such as Neil, Pedreti, Ramour, etc.

However, there are no signatures of Ronaldo, Messi, Buffon, and Ramos, but at this time, the media does not care too much about who signed it and who did not.

They were completely blown away!

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

And if a player wants to play in European competition, he just needs to transfer and leave!

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

On the one hand, Millwall's economic strength will decline day by day when it withdraws from the European competition, and on the other hand, it is the attraction of European competition to players.

Just like Juventus is almost hollowed out, even if Trezeguet, Piero and others remain in the team, considering their age, when Juventus returns to the top ranks, they will all reach the end of their careers, and their value is declining.

But now that this statement is coming out and openly announced, what is the result?

This group of stars not only firmly stands on the united front with Millwall FC, but also discourages other giants, it is conceivable that if other teams come to poach Millwall's stars, then in the terms of the contract, the players will inevitably add a clause not to participate in European competitions!

Or else? Didn't you slap yourself in the face? Reduced to a laughing stock!

This statement is known in the history of this sudden and transformative event in European football: Wild Lion Declaration!

Aldrich stood at the side door and was shocked physically and mentally!

When the announcement was over, Yan Sù's De Rossi showed a smile, and he and the other teammates on the stage who stood up were about to leave through the side door, but they saw Aldridge with a dull face, and they all showed a tacit smile, their eyes were quite relaxed, and even a little playful.

Yes, they didn't talk to Aldrich about it today, not because they wanted to play some surprise attack, but between master and apprentice, everything was silent.

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

At a time when the club is in unprecedented difficulty, in the face of that seemingly unbeatable 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 alone again!

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