West Ham United vs Millwall, a derby match that puts the men, women and children of all ages in east London in focus.

The bars on the north and south banks of the River Thames in East London burst into full swing, with fans holding beers and staring at the ceiling TVs in the bars, waiting for the game to begin.

On the streets, taxi drivers will turn on the radio to listen to live commentary on the radio, and even white-collar workers who sit in the office overtime on weekends will put on headphones to listen to the game.

In some remote garbage dumps, small stadiums, or alleys, hundreds of extreme fans of the two teams have already fought in the dark.

They do not carry murder weapons only rely on fists hand-to-hand combat, this is also the tradition of football hooligans, with knives that is called deliberate murder, only the timid and cowardly will bring a fruit knife or folding knife as self-protection, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take it out in a hot-headed situation to stab an unknown hostile fan, and when the situation of the dead person occurs, the fans on both sides will stop, the football hooligan is to fight for catharsis, and the essence really does not rise to kill, otherwise, they all take the knife together, and the speed of the dead will be faster than the speed of shooting with AK47.

Upton Park was so noisy that it was impossible to hear what was being shouted from the stands, and the words that could be heard sporadically were nothing more than foul language, football was not a gentleman's game, and they could not be expected to behave in suits and leather shoes as elegantly as they were watching ballet.

The players from both sides began to take the field, and Aldridge stood on the sidelines, standing with his head held high, with a serious face that was not disturbed by the atmosphere of the stadium.

In contrast, the coaching staff and substitutes not far behind him were trembling.

As soon as they sat down, Babu was hit in the back of the head by a metal lighter, and then was sent back to the locker room by the team doctor for examination, and the police immediately found the fans in the stands who "committed the attack", took them away, and then warned the fans in the stands that if there was another similar behavior, the five rows of seats closest to the away team's bench would be emptied.

Sky TV workers who were commenting at the scene were also intimidated by the atmosphere.

"The East London derby is about to start after a long time, because Millwall have been playing in the lower leagues for the past few years and they rarely meet in cup competitions, so the east London derby seems to have been forgotten by us, but now it looks like the fans have not forgotten, and when the moment comes, it is far more powerful than it once was!"

"Martin, there is no doubt that if you ask West Ham United who the opponent they want to beat the most, they will not say Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, only Millwall, and vice versa, Millwall this season as a promotion horse momentum, they and Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle United occupy the first group position in the standings, and West Ham United is only ranked in the middle of the league, which makes West Ham United, which has been pressing Millwall in recent years, very unconvinced, so, today the Wild Lions are a guest of the Hammers, It is not difficult to understand that there is such an atmosphere. ”

"Andy, since July, when West Ham United talk about Millwall, especially their manager Redknapp, they will use words like thieves, robbers, shameless acts and so on, because Millwall poached West Ham United's hopefuls in the summer, and even the relationship between Redknapp and Frank Lampard Sr. seems to have become strange, and Aldridge Hall has been silent for months, and he was asked about it again at yesterday's press conference. He only said this paragraph: good players choose ambitious clubs, many players can get professional contracts at West Ham United, but it is impossible to achieve something that can be done at West Ham United, it is different to come to Millwall, everyone from top to bottom works hard and is down-to-earth, we have goals, we are enterprising, we are moving towards higher goals every day, I am sure Millwall is on a path to glory, and what about West Ham United? Hehe, they're just messing around, just like the attitude shown by the fans of the two teams, the fans of the Lions will always support the team and never give up, others don't like us, we are not rare, we love Millwall, and what about West Ham United? Their fans can cheer for the team to snipe Manchester United to win the title, or they can scold the team for losing to an opponent who is not as good as them, for them, West Ham United is just a source of excitement in life, the team is playing well, they are crazy, the team is not performing well, they attack the team in turn. ”

Martin Taylor's words are a copy of Aldridge's remarks in his pre-match press conference yesterday, without a word of misinterpretation.

This is exactly what the two East London teams have shaped over the years.

West Ham United fans are positive and optimistic and blow bubbles all day long, they don't have too high expectations of West Ham United, and a big reason why they like West Ham United is because of the excitement, because you never know what the next game of the team will be like, whether it is a win against a giant like Liverpool Arsenal, or a loss to Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday and other underdogs who are not as strong as them.

Millwall's fans are more tenacious and tenacious, never care about the eyes of outsiders, whether the team's performance is good or bad, they continue to support the team, they don't have high expectations for the team, but they will treat Millwall as their own children, like doting parents, children perform well, encouraged, children don't perform well, and they can't bear to be harsh.

The attitude and character of the fans of both teams are inseparable from the traces of history, they are the outcasts of London, the shelling of World War II has devastated East London, on the ruins, they have watched West London and North London gradually become rich, while their own homeland has collapsed, West Ham United has blown bubbles, and in self-comfort with a vision for the future, Millwall has never been shaken by the world's vision, let him rain and wind away, I will not move.

Aldridge didn't go to see Redknapp, the other party was standing not far next door in a club jacket, and Aldridge put on a casual coat because the weather was getting cooler, and both of them were full of solemnity, knowing that this was a game they couldn't afford to lose.

Standings?

Who the cares!

Winning or losing this game is about the dignity of the team's supporters.

'Millwall's starting line-up today was quite a surprise, they seemed to have a new formation today, let's take a look at the starting goalkeeper: Keller. Defenders: Thuram, Stam, Southgate, Neil, midfielders: Makellele, Vieira, Nedved, Ballack, forwards: Trezeguet, Larsson. It looks like they are playing 442 in the middle of the small diamond, or possibly 4312, and we can get a clearer picture of Aldrich's tactical intentions when the game starts. ”

"West Ham United today's line-up is the traditional 442, goalkeepers: Millocks, defenders: Breca, Bilic, Ripert, Dix, midfielders: Rolando, Williams, Bishop, Hughes, forwards: Dumitrescu, Doui. Compared to Millwall's surprising line-up, West Ham United don't have many secrets to tell, and it is unclear if Redknapp will have a tactical trick at home. ”

Aldridge looked at West Ham's starters and was very similar to Millwall's reuse of foreign players.

In the first year of the 92 Premier League, there were only 12 foreign players in the starting line-up of the 22 teams in the Premier League, including Ireland and Wales who did not belong to English football in the eyes of the English, and in the beginning, West Ham United had a lot of foreign players in the team, with the development of the Premier League and the financial constraints of English teams from European bans and the construction of new stadiums or remodeled stadium seats, various teams began to increase the introduction of foreign players.

Just look at the names of the players on the field of West Ham United now, you can see that there are a lot of foreign aids, Milox, Nedved's hometown, Ripert is from Denmark, Dumitrescu is Romanian, one of the defenders let Aldridge take a few more looks, the Slavin Bilic from Croatia, he is only 27 years old now, and his career is still mixed with West Ham United, which has nothing to pursue at this age, so it can be seen that he can't create any glory in his career.

However, Bilic was no simple figure, he played rock and roll in the future, took up the whip to coach the team, and almost 12 years later, he led Croatia to squeeze England out of the European Championship finals.

"Junk Wing."

Aldridge is also a person who will be affected by the outside world, and from his childhood to his current immersion, he is naturally hostile to West Ham United.

He couldn't help but scold, which could be regarded as a riback to the hustle and bustle of the court, although it was extremely full of Ah Q spirit.

West Ham United has a nickname at this time as "World United", because they have a lot of foreign aid, but fans who don't like the Hammers will affectionately call them: World Hammer United.

Millwall are now also being derided by England's traditional fans: World United.

But no one would say that Millwall's players are rubbish, that's the difference in the level of foreign reinforcement.

Garbage courts, garbage players, garbage means

Aldridge scolded West Ham United as much as he could from the bottom of his heart, cursing their players for reaping the consequences of this rotten vegetable field, and it was best to sprain one, two, three, four, or five feet!

His lineup today is very simple, the midfield fights for muscles, the offense is monotonous, the ball breaks through or something, this rotten vegetable field can't run at all, the players have a sense of self-protection, watch the feet dodge the pit and then sprint? How else to play football?

Makelele is a full-time defender, Vieira and Nedved control the midfield, Ballack is in the midfield and mud at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and when he wants to attack, the midfielder drives up like a tank, and he crushes hard!

See if the lion's flesh and blood will be shattered by the hammer!
