The Young Lion

Old Trafford.

The Red Devils fans looked worried.

The league started for a month, and after five rounds, Manchester United fell behind Millwall by 9 points.

The possibility of Manchester United's league championship in the new season has dropped directly to freezing point.

Just like Manchester's media statistics and analysis: in all the seasons when Millwall led Manchester United by 9 points, Manchester United has never succeeded in a comeback.

Although the new season has only been played for a month now, and there are still more than 30 Premier League games, there are infinite possibilities in the future. However, many fans feel that the statistical analysis of the media is very reasonable.

Because United look to have a lot of unanswered questions.

However, if Millwall is defeated at home today, the point gap between the two sides can be reduced to 6 points, which is a gap that rekindles confidence.

As a result, fans who were full of expectations came to the stadium to watch the game. After the opening, Millwall's violent attack seemed to pour cold water on the fans' heads.

In addition to regretting that the team did not seize several good opportunities, Aldridge also showed worry in his eyes.

In these attacks, Millwall had a player who was not able to activate the attack.

who?

Kaka!

Keane is a top defensive midfielder, his defense is like a shadow, and the aggressiveness of physical confrontation is also extremely high. Kaka can't find a chance in the offense, and Keane has repeatedly forced the ball with his body to lose the competition.

If Kaka can show his power, among those opportunities at Millwall, Kaka can find good opportunities and contribute to the team.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of experience. Kaka still has room for improvement. As for whether Keane is entering his later years. That's not what Aldridge cares about. Because there will be other top midfielders born in the same era. The top ones must enter the rich and powerful, and Kaka must also face it.

While Manchester United fans were in fear, Manchester United played an exciting attack.

As Kaka was frozen by Keane in this game, Alonso's pre-assist pressure increased. When Manchester United counterattacked in the 28th minute of the game, Alonso lost Scholes when he returned to defense.

Giggs passed the inverted triangle route after going down the left, and Scholes followed up with a long shot from outside the penalty area!

Bout dives for the ball.

But he let go!

The ball rebounded in the penalty area and was shot into the net by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Thiago Silva looked pale and lost his mark on Ruud van Nistelrooy when Scholes shot from long distance, because he was distracted by the result of Scholes' shot.

At that moment of distraction, Van Nistelrooy moved in the small penalty area and completed a supplementary shot to score the goal.

Manchester United scored a goal! Manchester United, who were suppressed after the opening, sent the ball into Millwall's goal with a counter attack. Butt saved and missed it. Ruud van Nistelrooy shot. Van Nistelrooy, Silva is still young. Inexperienced, if you relax the marking on Van Nistelrooy, you will definitely be punished!

Aldridge made a distinctive gesture towards Thiago Silva.

Thiago Silva's face improved a lot after seeing it.

Aldridge told him before that defenders, what defensive players need to experience in their growth, making mistakes is a necessary process, and there is no need to worry about it.

That gesture was to remind him not to care.

Silva's face turned ruthless. He didn't want to care, but he had to care. It's just that before, it was self-blame, but now it's a fighting spirit. He doesn't want to live up to Aldrich's expectations and sacrifices for him.

Being able to play the main force among the giants with the world's number one record in recent years must have attracted much attention. I don't know how many people in the outside world are envious. How heavy is this trust? Neither the person involved nor others can understand. Silva is not Ness He came to Millwall with a world-class reputation like that, he is a wild boy, a wild boy who almost missed the ball!

When the outside world describes his career trajectory, they almost always use descriptions like getting rich overnight or flying on a branch to become a phoenix, mostly in a mocking and demeaning tone.

Silva doesn't care about outside voices, he only cares about how his head coach treats him.

In the past, I hoped that the boss would not give up on him.

Now, I hope that I will not be ashamed of my boss' trust!

Millwall's long-established confidence won't make them lose their footing if they concede first.

The situation on the field of play is almost the same as before the score change.

Ronaldinho also saw that Kaka was eaten to death by Keane today, so in the offensive routine, Ronaldinho took the initiative to take advantage of this.

He had a brief exchange with Kaka.

The meaning is clear, if you can't play a threat on the ball, then use an off-ball threat to serve the team.

Kaka understood. He did not play well when receiving the ball and attacking with the ball. Keane, a tough player, is not soft-hearted. Not to mention a tackle, just a bump, it seems like he was punched. If Kaka hadn't strengthened his body in Millwall in the past few years, he might have been knocked into the air directly. The most troublesome thing for Kaka is that Keane is thick and fine, and his defensive skills and awareness are top-notch, which makes him very happy. uncomfortable.

In the 41st minute, after Ronaldinho got the ball from the left side of the front field, he did not continue to develop an attack on the side. He suddenly cut in and went to the center. At the same time, Kaka ran directly to the forward line. Keane hesitated and chose to retreat and follow. Kaka, I'm afraid that Kaka will go forward and play offside like Nedved in the past, making the back line dizzy.

When Keane withdrew, Scholes came to press Ronaldinho. The latter made a one-two with Alonso, and then came to the middle of the penalty area and sent a concealed through ball.

Villa ran diagonally past Ferdinand and poked the ball forward on contact.

Sylvester hastily intercepted and kicked Villa down!

If you let Villa pass, it will be half-single-handed!

While Villa fell in the penalty area, the referee whistled to interrupt the game and pointed to the penalty spot in the penalty area for Manchester United!

Ferguson showed dissatisfaction and rushed out of the coach's bench to protest to the fourth official, but this could not change the referee's penalty.

Aldridge tilted his head slightly and looked at Manchester United's penalty area. Since he led the England team to win the World Cup, in England, Millwall has rarely complained about the referee's penalty. It's not like the referee took care of them. It's just business. But if there is any tendency, it is the Millwall game, and the penalty scale will be stricter than the conventional standard.

Fans joked that there are two types of Premier League games, one is Premier League games with fierce confrontation and loose penalties, and the other is Millwall games where referees are aware of the details.

As long as the team that adopts rough fouls almost encounters Millwall, the whole team will be full of players with yellow cards, and there are not a few players who are sent off with red cards.

The Premier League's penalty scale is loose. This is well known.

Only Millwall participated in the game, the referee's enforcement will be very strict.

Ferguson coached in England six or seven years earlier than Aldridge, and he established his prestige earlier.

However, in the past ten years, Aldridge's accumulated prestige and contributions to England have made the two of them also widen the obvious gap in the invisible energy of English football.

Penalty.

The penalty shooter sent by Millwall was Ronaldinho.

Facing the goalkeeper Carroll, Ronaldinho was not affected by the noise made by the home fans at all. When shooting, he swung his legs and made fake moves, making the goalkeeper Carroll mistakenly think that Ronaldinho would kick the ball in the direction he used to use. Right-footed shots, usually to the left of the goal. Ronaldinho easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. The speed of the ball was not fast, which showed that he was calm and calm when he shot.

Ronaldinho scored the penalty and equalized for Millwall! United couldn't take the lead into the dressing room.

The first half ended and the score was 1:1.

Aldridge was thoughtful on his way back to the locker room.

He made a mistake in arranging the starting lineup today.

Kaka.

It's not that Kaka can't play, but that in an ideal state before the game, he hopes that Kaka will sharpen his ability to resist pressure by starting the game. Looking at it now, maybe let Nedved start and consume Keane in the confrontation. In the second half, he will be physically fit Kaka played again, the impact will be stronger.

In fact, either Nedved or Kaka can start, but it is only based on the idea of ​​stabilizing the new main force. Kaka is the future of Millwall. Let Nedved consume and Kaka explodes. Grow better.

In the second half, Manchester United protected the goal through active fighting and tenacious defense.

In the 60th minute of the game, Aldridge replaced Kaka and let Nedved play.

Nedved also needs a brief moment to get into the game.

In the 64th minute, Ronaldinho made a 45-degree cross from the side. Nedved entered the penalty area and overwhelmed Sylvester with a header. Unfortunately, the ball missed the top.

Aldridge looked indifferent on the sidelines, he wanted to win this game, even if he was a guest at Old Trafford, he also wanted to win!

After another 3 minutes, he made a second substitution, De Rossi went off and Larson came on!

Millwall's formation is similar to 442, but not quite, extremely involved in attacking!

Ferguson's pupils shrunk. He didn't expect Aldrich to play cards unreasonably and be so eager to win!

Although Aldridge's posture on the sidelines looks calm as if he has nothing to do with the world.

Manchester United's attack in the middle could not be connected, so he removed a midfielder to gamble with the opponent.

After Larson came on the field, he played double center with Villa. Ronaldo was also a winger, but Ronaldinho's position was slightly withdrawn, becoming a front midfielder, parallel with Nedved behind the striker.

Manchester United played a wave of threatening offensive in the 73rd minute, but Rooney was successfully intercepted by Nesta when he was about to shoot in the penalty area.

There was a sigh in the stands, and Manchester United fans felt extremely sorry.

Millwall's offense is more aggressive, there are more players on the front line.

In the 82nd minute, Ronaldo made a bottom pass from the right. He did not pass in front of the goal, but at the top of the arc outside the penalty area.

The strong pressure from Larson and Villa made Manchester United's defenders dare not rush out. Ronaldo passed the ball back. Keane was a bit slower. He was too focused on Nedved and missed the ball. Nedved He didn't touch the ball either, and Scholes was shaken by Keane. He thought Keane would clear the ball at the spot, but Keane didn't!

After the ball bounced at the top of the penalty area, it flew one meter in front of Scholes and flew back immediately.

Ronaldinho didn't stop the ball and directly padded the ball to Nedved who was rushing forward. After Keane missed the spot, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the ball, losing Nedved.

Nedved volleyed with his legs without stopping the ball in the penalty area!

boom!

Carroll was powerless, the ball brushed Ferdinand's head and rushed into the upper left corner of the goal!

The Wild Lion kills the Red Devils! (To be continued..)
