Chapter 963 Millwall

On January 25, the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Aston Villa's opponent in this game is a British Championship team. The game itself is not much to watch, and the media generally believe that Aston Villa has a great possibility of advancing.

The attention of the media and the people who eat melons is on Aston Villa's opponent in this game-Millwall's radical fan group.

English football hooligans are famous all over the world, while Millwall football hooligans are famous all over the UK.

Especially their most aggressive (rogue) fan group, the Bushwackers.

"We West Ham are not good at football, but everyone knows that football hooligans are first-rate."

"Arsenal, they play well, they fight like chickens, they're a bunch of trash."

"Tottenham, you can't play football or fight, a group of "Jews"."

"Millwall? How about TM's Millwall?" Pete cursed, thinking of a metaphor, "It's a blood feud with us, almost like the relationship between Israel and Palestine."

These are the words of Pete, an extreme West Ham United fan, in the 2005 film "Hooligans".

Millwall's football hooligans appear as the villain in the film, and the fan organizations of both parties staged a British football version of the young and Dangerous story.

In reality, the struggle between the fans of West Ham United and Millwall is not inferior to that in the film. It can be called the most popular derby in the UK, not one of them.

In a Carling Cup match in 2009, fans of West Ham United and Millwall brawled outside Upton Park. Wine bottles, bricks and even hammers were used as weapons.

During the game, fans rushed into the field many times, causing the game to be suspended. After the finale, a large number of fans rushed into the field to fight. In the end, many fans from both sides were injured. Finally, the riot was quelled by the riot police. .

In fact, whenever there is a match between West Ham United and Millwall, the London police will dispatch all police forces to maintain order, and the state of martial law is no less than an anti-terrorism exercise.

One statistic can explain everything. In the century-old history of fierce fighting between the fans of both sides, there are well-documented cases where fans were directly beaten and stabbed to death in the fight. There have even been cases where fans met on the train and started fighting. Some fans were knocked down from the train and died. There are as many as four fans.

...

If it was just a grievance with rivals West Ham United, Millwall's reputation would definitely not spread throughout England and become one of the most hated teams in the country.

They beat rival fans.

He even rushed into the field premeditatedly and attacked the referees and linesmen who were enforcing the game.

The extreme fans of Millwall not only hit the opponent's fans and players, but also the referees, and even their own fans became ruthless.

Millwall football hooligans have swooped in on supporters of their own team, injuring dozens of innocent fans.

Ten years ago, hundreds of Millwall hooligans stormed the pitch and caused chaos after Millwall lost to Birmingham City in the play-offs.

Among them, 47 policemen and 24 police horses were injured. The BBC scolded Millwall football hooligans as a disgrace to England.

Some of the actions of Millwall fans even broke the moral bottom line.

In October 2004, in the Carabao Cup home game against Liverpool, Millwall fans taunted Liverpool fans with songs, mocking the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy.

The eyes of the Liverpool fans were red at the time. This was inverse and unbearable.

It then escalated into a violent clash between fans of the two teams.

In the match against Millwall, Millwall fans would often verbally attack, throw debris, and even rush into the stadium to beat the security personnel and even the referee.

That's it, no matter who the opponent is, Millwall's radical fans have offended every team in English football, big and small, all by themselves.

In the eyes of many people, the name of the Millwall club has even become "synonymous with all bad things in football and society", and Bushwacker has become the most notorious football hooligan organization in the UK.

The police arrested again and again, the club was fined again and again, and the club chairman even threatened to disband the team many times, but none of them could stop these extreme fans from making trouble again.

Millwall radical fans are either fighting with opposing fans, or are on the way to fighting with each other...

There are even conspiracy theories that Millwall has been in the English Championship for a long time because the bigwigs in the Premier League and even the FA do not want Millwall to be promoted to the Premier League and affect harmony.

...

As a guest in London this time, the Aston Villa Club issued a special safety warning, reminding Aston Villa fans not to act alone, and not to have disputes with Millwall fans.

For safety reasons, the club does not even encourage fans to travel to London this time.

This behavior of Aston Villa was regarded as weak by Millwall's radical fans.

A Millwall radical fan came to the Aston Villa fan forum to leave a message:

Bastards who don’t grow, don’t dare to come!

This kind of fruitless provocation angered the Aston Villa fans, and some Aston Villa fans who hadn't planned to go to the away game also screamed that they would teach the Millwallers a lesson.

Fang Jue is also very dizzy.

He couldn't understand the provocative behavior of Millwall's radical fans.

Aston Villa Club can only contact the fan organization again and again, telling them to pay attention to safety.

Not only the fans must pay attention to safety, Fang Jue also issued an order to the players, not allowing the players to act privately during this visit to London, and the whole team must act in unison.

...

January 25.

Aston Villa set off from the hotel where they stayed, preparing to go to the Neal Stadium in Millwall.

Several pickup trucks passed by Aston Villa's bus, and someone stuck his head out of the rear window of the pickup truck, howled and raised his middle finger at Aston Villa's bus.

"It's Bushwacker!" Werner said.

The pickup truck has a Bushwacker logo on the rear.

At this moment, the bus suddenly braked suddenly, and there was a panic in the car.

"Someone put a tire breaker on the road ahead." The bus driver said with a pale face, pointing to the road more than ten meters ahead,

If he hadn't been concentrating, it would have been a big accident if it had been run over directly.

"Fuck!"

Fang Jue was furious. He had every reason to suspect that the Bushwacker fans in Millwall did it. Do these bastards know what this is?

Want to murder?

Other passing vehicles around also noticed the situation ahead, braked sharply to avoid, and two vehicles even rear-ended.

Fang Jue stopped the players from getting out of the car and arranged for two staff members to remove the tire breaker.

Then, he saw the staff member come back with a 'tire breaker' in one hand.

"Fake, it's inflatable."

Fang Jue took the 'tire breaker', and it turned out to be a fake, filled with air and placed on the road, very similar to the real one, enough to confuse the real one.

"These bastards are reasonable," Ceballos said.

Fang Jue's face was gloomy. He didn't agree with Ceballos' words. Even if it was fake, it would be very dangerous on the road.

"Call the police," Werner said.

"Take photos, shoot videos, and keep evidence," Fang Jue said.

"We have dash cams."

"Very good, let's contact the reporter and interview the owner of the rear-end car."

"Okay, boss."

...

The bus continued to move forward, leaving a staff member waiting for the police to arrive by the side of the road with the fake 'tire breaker'.

The players were also annoyed by this incident, discussing in the bus, guessing who did it.

Although there is no direct evidence, everyone knows who did it, and they all denounced these football hooligans as hateful.

When Aston Villa's bus arrived at the Neal Stadium, it was "warmly welcomed" by the Millwall fans outside.

There were fans of the home team holding various caricatures insulting Aston Villa club and players, crying and howling.

"Today's game, I only have one request." Before the game, in the visiting team's locker room at Neal Stadium, Fang Jue said, "No one gets hurt."

Fang Jue's worry was not without reason.

Not only Millwall's radical fans have caused headaches for many English teams, but the Millwall team itself is also very rough.

The situation after the start of the game also confirmed Fang Jue's worries.

Millwall was very tough, and their players made big moves, and there was even reason to suspect that they were deliberately hurting people.

Fortunately, Oscar, the referee who enforced today's game, obviously knows Millwall's style very well, and his enforcement standards are very strict.

Less than half an hour into the game, five Millwall players had already received yellow cards.

This curbs the opponent's rough foul behavior to a certain extent.

Aston Villa near the end of the first half, Shinji Kagawa assisted Vardy to score a goal, breaking the deadlock on the field.

...

The Aston Villa players did not celebrate after the goal.

This was requested by Fang Jue. He tried his best to prevent players from irritating Millwall fans. It was not a coward, but for safety reasons.

Even so, seeing Aston Villa score, the home team's stands still exploded.

A fan threw a water bottle into the field and almost hit Aston Villa goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

Aston Villa captain Clement picked up the water bottle, found the on-duty referee Oscar, and made a serious complaint.

There was two minutes of stoppage time in the first half, but as soon as the forty-five minutes were up, the referee blew the half-time whistle.

The Aston Villa players exited the field to the boos and abuse of the home fans.

Thornton, who was walking a little slower, was almost hit by a coin dropped from the stands.

With a gloomy expression, Fang Jue picked up the coin, handed it to the fourth official, and left without saying anything.

"It's really notorious." In the media seat, the Birmingham reporter said in an atmosphere.

Even journalists in London were silent and did not defend Millwall.

Not to mention Aston Villa, Arsenal or Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are here, and the treatment will only be more serious.

If West Ham United were a guest here, it would be a miracle not to fight.

This is a team that is hated by almost everyone else in England.

...

In the second half of the game, the veteran Inzaghi, who came off the bench, made a supplementary shot in front of the goal, helping Aston Villa expand the score to 2-0.

This made the atmosphere in the stadium even more tense.

Although security staff separated the home team Millwall fans from the visiting Aston Villa fans.

However, Millwall fans threw objects at Aston Villa fans through security personnel, causing a riot.

Millwall striker John Marchis pulled a goal back for the home side late in the second half.

The Millwall fans were excited again and launched a second attack on the Aston Villa fans.

There was chaos in the stands.

"It's really weird." A Chinese reporter in the media seat lamented, being scored, their fans made trouble, but they scored a goal, and they still want to make trouble.

In the final stage of the game, Millwall midfielder Henry was sent off after receiving a red card for a tackle on Milner.

There were also skirmishes between players from both sides on the field.

In the end, Aston Villa defeated Millwall 2-1 in an away game.

Fang Jue was happiest that no players were injured.

In this game, the referee Oscar showed a total of twelve yellow cards and one red card. The home team Millwall received eight yellow cards, and Aston Villa received four yellow cards.

...

At the press conference after the game, Fang Jue angrily criticized the bad away environment.

He showed reporters at the scene photos of Aston Villa's near-miss on the way to the Neal Stadium.

"If it wasn't for me, I would still be awake and know that this is a game in London." Fang Jue sneered, "I almost thought we were fighting in the Middle East."

The reporters at the scene didn't know that such a thing happened on the way to Aston Villa's stadium.

Hearing this, they were so excited.

Except for Birmingham and Chinese media reporters, other reporters don't care about the safety of the Aston Villa team, they are just excited that something happened, 'Millwall fans attack Aston Villa bus', ah, how good material.

Millwall chairman Papidis then called Fang Jue to express his apology and regret for the incident.

Fang Jue dealt with the other party and hung up the phone.

This Papidis is not a good bird, he has a big mouth and acts perversely.

The Aston Villa team did not spend the night in London. After the game, they left London quickly and returned to Birmingham.

"Okay, guys, go home and rest, and have a half-day holiday tomorrow morning." Fang Jue announced.

The players let out a burst of cheers and dispersed.

...

Fang Jue returned to his office. Just as he was about to have a cup of coffee and take a break, the door of the office was knocked open.

It's Byron, the club's general manager.

"Boss, something happened." Byron said with a serious expression.

Aston Villa defeated Millwall 2-1 away, and the fans of Aston Villa were very happy.

A group of Aston Villa fans who were celebrating at the bar were attacked by members of the Bushwacker Millwall supporters group as they left the bar.

A brawl broke out between the two sides.

An Aston Villa fan was stabbed with a sharp object by the opponent during the chaos and was taken to hospital for emergency treatment.

"How are you?" Fang Jue asked immediately.

"Still being rescued." Byron said with a serious expression.

"Bastard!" Fang Jue cursed.

"The fan who was stabbed was called Ellen Donald, the father of three children." Byron introduced the situation.

"It's him?" A fat fan appeared in Fang Jue's mind. Ellen Donald was a die-hard Aston Villa fan.

The reason why Fang Jue knew this person was because the "Birmingham Evening News" once reported an interesting story.

Donald was very dissatisfied with Fang Jue's entry into Aston Villa at the beginning. This fat man is a fan of Carew.

Later, Aston Villa rose rapidly under Fang Jue's rule, and Donald quickly fell into Fang Jue's "embrace". Chinese boss.

Later, at a Christmas party at Aston Villa, the club invited a group of fan representatives, including Donald, and Fang Jue took a group photo with the fat man and his three children.

"Arrange the helicopter, I'm going to London." Fang Jue picked up the microphone and said.
