The Young Lion

Millwall eventually defeated Coventry City 3:1 to advance to the next round of the League Cup.

The games in the middle of the week were all in the evening. After the game, Aldridge simply accepted an interview, talking about Messi, who scored a goal on his debut, and he was generous.

In the past not a short period of time, the outside world has known that there is a talented young man in Millwall's youth team. Messi's name has also been widely circulated among many senior scouts. Many clubs have hoped to get him since the year before last. He, but Millwall is looking forward to Messi's future. I am very happy that he himself is also unswervingly staying in Millwall to pursue his football dream. Scored in the first show, everything is simply dreamy, perfect, He has shown part of his ability through short-term performance. Of course, he has not yet fully utilized. Young people have unlimited possibilities. Messi, his potential is almost unlimited, but he needs patience. As the head coach, I also He needs to be calm, he is only 17 years old, he needs correct guidance and use of the court, for the fierce confrontation of the Premier League, Messi needs to be stronger in the future, but we are not worried about this, again, he is only 17 years old, his The career has just begun.

When leaving the club in the evening, Aldridge drove home with his son Bert, who was watching the game in the box.

The moon was bright and the stars were thin, Bert kept turning his head and staring at Aldridge in the co-pilot position, not knowing what he was thinking.

Earl seems to be pressed for time since he went to school. In his spare time outside of study, he needs to meet his personal entertainment needs. He didn't watch the ball this evening, but played video games at home.

At a traffic light, Aldrich finally turned to face Burt. Reach out and touch his head. He asked with a smile, Why are you staring at me?

Dad. If I make my professional debut in the future, will you cheer me on the sidelines like Messi's father?

Aldridge laughed and said, Of course.

Will you cheer for me?

why not?

Will you cry for me?

Well, if you score a goal, I will be moved to tears.

It's a deal!

...

When I got home and went upstairs at night, cheers came from Earl's room. Aldrich pushed the door open and saw Earl yelling at the computer screen. He took a closer look. The mood is rather weird.

Because from the beginning of summer,

Earl is playing the football manager game. There is no fm yet, it is cm. Earl is very entangled in the strength of Millwall in the game. On the premise of not cheating, he runs an unknown club by himself, starting from a low level, and then The aim is to beat Millwall in the future...

Tonight, probably his goal was achieved. So I got a little excited.

Aldridge walked over and picked him up from the computer desk, and said with a smile, What time is it? Go to sleep, go to sleep! Don't let me remove the computer from your room!

Oh, oh, dad, help me save my progress, save my progress, last time Aunt Yiwen just turned off the computer, my progress is gone! Save it for me.

You honestly put me to bed, don't worry about the rest.

Um?

Kneeling on the bed in his pajamas, Earl stares dumbfounded at Aldrich sitting at his computer desk, as though he's playing.

Aldridge is looking nostalgic, and will not really devote energy to playing.

Seeing the name of the manager named by Earl, Aldrich couldn't help laughing.

Hall II!

 …

The sixth round of the Premier League kicked off.

Millwall's game is the finale, they will challenge Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Chelsea sits at Stamford Bridge and welcomes Tottenham led by Santini.

At the end of the 90 minutes, Stamford Bridge was booed!

The boos from the Blues fans were for Tottenham.

Because Tottenham played a 9-0-1 formation in the game.

The score on the scoreboard is 0:0.

The two sides shook hands and made peace.

But Mourinho fired at Tottenham after the game.

On this day, a new term was born in football: bus.

Mourinho mocked Tottenham for placing a bus in the penalty area.

In the standings, Chelsea narrowed the gap with Millwall, 1 point behind, but Millwall's game has not yet started.

The next day, Fleet Street taunted Mourinho in turn.

Tottenham, who faced defending champions Millwall at White Hart Lane a month ago, was almost identical to the Tottenham who faced Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a month later. 9-0-1 formation, perhaps as Mr. Mourinho said, Tottenham parked a bus in the penalty area, but at White Hart Lane, Millwall bloodbathed Tottenham with a score of 5:0 , at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea had the advantage at home, but they could only draw with Tottenham 0:0. Mourinho has reason to laugh at Santini and Tottenham, so we also have reason to mock Mourinho in turn Mr.: You are only allowed to play counter-defense, and the opponent is not allowed to set up the bus, right? The opponent must take the initiative to attack according to your wishes and give you a chance to counterattack? Why don’t you just admit that Chelsea’s positional battle is of average level, so that there is no any controversy.

Regardless of Santini's coaching ability, at least he has been the coach of the French team, and he still has vision. Chelsea's defense is the core, and the wing breakthroughs are sharp. Of course, they cannot give them space and counterattack opportunities.

This kind of problem was encountered after Millwall won the first league championship many years ago, so they are improving their positional warfare capabilities year by year, especially when Aldridge coaches the team to make appropriate changes, because Millwall Aldrich is the target of public criticism and has been studied by many opponents. If it remains unchanged, it will be easily restricted to death. Therefore, even if it is a very successful tactic, Aldridge will always seek new changes in details to make the opponent's target Deployment of sexual restrictions fell through.

In the final game of this round, Millwall is a guest at Old Trafford.

Aldridge led the team to Manchester. Manchester United was not listed as one of the favorites at the beginning of the season. After 5 rounds of the league, Manchester United fell behind Millwall in the standings by a shocking 9 points!

Millwall started off with a 5-0 win. 15 marks.

Manchester United have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. 6 points.

In addition to running in the lineup, Manchester United in the new season. There are also hidden dangers in the defense line. The special position of the goalkeeper began to cause headaches for Ferguson. Howard's condition declined. Ferguson lost patience and used Carroll. Heinze needs to adapt to the Premier League. Need to fit in. When problems, big or small, are exposed in multiple positions, Manchester United's poor record is also reasonable.

Aldridge, who appeared at Old Trafford, shook hands with Ferguson calmly, and Ferguson's brows clearly contained worry.

I don't know if it's because of the team's poor start in the league, or because he and some of the club's major shareholders are unhappy because of off-court affairs.

The sixth round of the Premier League finale of the new season is about to begin. The defending champion Millwall is a guest at Old Trafford. Can the Red Devils and Manchester United win a victory at home to end the three-game tie? Today, both sides have played their best. I hope The two teams can perform a classic game for all audiences.

Manchester United starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Carroll.

Defenders: Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.

Midfielder: Joaquin. Keane, Scholes. Giggs.

Forwards: Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Lahm.

Midfield: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: c Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho.

From the beginning of the game, Millwall's competitive state was obviously better than that of Manchester United, and it was almost impossible to see that Manchester United had any home court advantage.

Ferguson's tactical change in the new season actually changed the team's 442 to 4231, Scholes' position was further back, and Rooney played a shadow forward position.

But at first it seemed that the effect was not particularly ideal, because Manchester United's familiar routine is to quickly attack the opponent from the wing, but now when the two wings of the center and front field pass back and forth, they need better tacit understanding from the players.

Ronaldinho, who has been in good form recently, is the first target of Manchester United's marking. It can be said that Millwall successfully suppressed Manchester United's right attack through Ronaldinho's threat. Joaquin must retreat to put pressure on Ronaldinho.

At the beginning of the game, Ronaldinho broke through Neville on the wing, pressed Manchester United's defense back, and immediately passed the ball to find the top of the penalty area. Kaka was marked dead, but Alonso who inserted behind was no one Marking, after a few games in the new season, Alonso feels better and better in front of the attack.

Alonso fired a powerful shot from outside the penalty area without stopping the ball!

boom!

The ball bounced off the crossbar, shaking the Old Trafford goal and shaking the hearts of Manchester United fans.

Four minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Heinze on the right, cut into the penalty area after going down the bottom, and crossed the ball in front of the goal.

Carroll opened the goal and was directly headed by De Rossi to Ram on the wing. Ram dribbled the ball all the way forward, dribbled the ball in front of Joaquin and then suddenly went straight to the ribs of the penalty area on the left side. Ronaldinho got the ball After a false shake on the right side, Ferdinand lost his center of gravity. Ronaldinho changed direction and continued to walk the baseline. He approached Manchester United's goal step by step. Because the angle was always close to zero, Ronaldinho was not in a hurry. He was waiting for his teammates to move. Kaka and Alonso and Villa were all heavily guarded by Manchester United. When Carroll thought he could definitely block Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho lifted the ball on the spot and to the back of the goal. On the other side, Ronaldinho Jumped high at the back post, but he jumped too early!

At the moment when he needed the most power to head the ball, it seemed that the ball hit his head and then popped out of the baseline.

There was turmoil in the Manchester United penalty area, and Aldrich sighed, a good opportunity should not be wasted like this!

Ferguson was expressionless, feeling helpless.

A Ronaldinho who is in good form, in terms of pair consumption, can offset at least two defensive players of Manchester United, and then teammates in other positions have good abilities and are not bad, so sometimes it feels like Manchester United The comparison of the number of offensive and defensive personnel is less than that of Millwall, and the reason is also here. Partial defense is impossible, which means that the partial defensive force has almost disappeared.

Ferguson didn't want to fight back, but Manchester United could only counterattack passively. Their right side was almost paralyzed, but the threat from the left side was very intuitive.

Giggs is also over 30 years old, but he has maintained a very good state, and his technical proficiency is unparalleled, but his speed may be slightly inferior to before, but it is not obvious.

Every time when Manchester United counterattacked, Ryan Giggs dribbled the ball on the left and rushed forward is their main means.

Schneider is also a veteran. His competitive state and physical condition are comparable to Giggs, especially in terms of defensive awareness. He never once let Giggs go inside in defense. Giggs made a pass from the wing. Today Schneider Van Nistelrooy was not successful in blocking Van Nistelrooy, but at least he could grab points a few times, and when he failed to grab points, Nesta would immediately fill in for him, and Silva made judgments based on the situation and carried out The next step is defensive movement and selection. This is a game that requires his concentration and rapid thinking, because Manchester United has one of the best opportunistic forwards in the world: Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the penalty area. (To be continued..)
