The Young Lion

Lion King Stadium.

A whistle sounded.

Henry kicked the ball to Ronaldo, and the game officially started.

Manchester United will always be the Manchester United that holds its head up and can't play utilitarian football. That is not Manchester United's philosophy, or it may just be Ferguson's stubbornness!

Just after a fierce battle in the FA Cup semi-final.

This time it is a guest game again, and Manchester United have shown that they cannot keep up with the rhythm of Millwall since the beginning.

At the beginning of the game, Ronaldinho broke through Neville on the left and then made a pass. Ronaldo jumped high at the back to attack the goal and was blocked by goalkeeper Carroll. Millwall quickly played home momentum!

Aldridge showed a majestic look on the sidelines, and he was willing to give up. Since Manchester United snatched the FA Cup final ticket from Millwall, Millwall is determined to win the league championship!

He will not allow the FA Cup front to be terminated by Manchester United, and then be sniped by Manchester United in the league, never allow it!

All Millwall generals on the field also understand the importance of this battle.

They knew in their hearts that it would be a great shame if they couldn't beat Manchester United after a week of rest!

After the opening, Millwall took the lead in using Ronaldinho and Ronaldo's breakthroughs on the two wings to create panic in Manchester United's defense, forcing Manchester United to frantically chase and intercept in the midfield.

In turn disrupting Manchester United's overall formation, making it impossible to face the game calmly!

In the first 15 minutes, Millwall dragged down the exhausted Manchester United through a devastating high rhythm!

Then, instead, they began to slow down and began to hold the ball steadily in the midfield and the backcourt, shaping the situation of the game.

One fast, one slow.

Manchester United also had to slow down the pace.

Then. Through the strong control of the midfielder, Millwall suddenly accelerated the pace of the game and played a crazy offensive. Manchester United was difficult to resist under the sudden change of rhythm.

In the 24th minute, Alonso made a goal in midfield. The ball was passed to Ronaldo, who was running inward on the right. Ronaldo dribbled the ball inward and made a two-for-one cooperation with Nedved, easily breaking through the old Keane, and then Ronaldo used explosive acceleration in front of the penalty area Horizontal dribbling, Manchester United's defense on the right focused on Ronaldinho,

At this moment, I see Ronaldo wreaking havoc in the dangerous zone. Ferdinand and Neville had to turn their attention to Ronaldo, and when they moved, Ronaldo immediately passed the ball behind his feet, the ball rolled behind Ferdinand, and Ronaldinho scored the ball forward. Entering the ribs of the penalty area has already formed a semi-single-handed trend.

Manchester United goalkeeper Carroll abandoned the goal and blocked Ronaldinho's shooting angle. Ronaldinho calmly controlled the ball and swung it outward. Shoot, hit the empty goal and succeed!

Millwall took the lead! A brilliant trident in the frontcourt, Ronaldo played a big role in this attack. He dribbled the ball from the right into the middle, moved laterally to contain most of Manchester United's defense, and then made another A wonderful pass. Ronaldinho, who successfully countered offside, swung the goalkeeper to block the angle and unselfishly sent the ball to Henry's feet. Hahaha, Henry could score this ball with his eyes closed, and there was an empty goal in front of him. !

Henry smiled after scoring the goal, pointed to Ronaldinho, and the two ran to the sidelines to celebrate together. Other teammates roared and ran after him.

The Wild Lions fans in the stands were all set.

Manchester United fans suddenly lost interest and became listless.

They don't understand that Millwall's main lineup is too strong. Still Manchester United has no intention of fighting, two games in four days. The two sides are the same, but there is a huge contrast in the performance of the two teams.

Ferguson lowered his head on the coach's bench and sighed softly, but he didn't bother to annoy his disciples.

He knew very well in his heart that the huge gap in the situation on the field in this game stemmed from two points. First, Millwall's main lineup recharged their batteries and had the advantage of home court, while Manchester United fought hard in the FA Cup. In the semi-finals, they were guests again, and the strength gap between the two sides was further widened. The second is the fighting spirit!

After all, sniping opponents to win the championship, but he has no hope of winning the championship, the fighting spirit itself is not strong, but Millwall lost the FA Cup line and went all out for the league, and the fighting spirit is obviously stronger. This is beyond doubt.

Aldridge showed a smile on his majestic expression and applauded the team's goal, but then resumed his solemn posture.

This game is more important than the next one going to Stamford Bridge!

It doesn't matter who the opponent is, but if Millwall wants to establish a leading advantage in the standings, it will have a great impact on the players' psychology.

Suppose, Millwall was tied or lost to Manchester United at home.

Then as long as Chelsea beat Arsenal, the gap with Millwall will be reduced to 1 point or the goal difference will be the same point. In that case, the game at Stamford Bridge will be a real battle.

Although Millwall has a slight lead in terms of probability, as long as they don't lose to Chelsea, the leader's throne is still theirs.

However, it has to be taken into account that they once left Chelsea by 10 points. Chelsea have been chasing points and closing the gap between them for the past few months. , Psychologically and spiritually, Millwall will inevitably be a little panicked by Chelsea's encouragement and encouragement. Then, the seemingly leading advantage may not exist at all, or even a disadvantage!

A one-goal lead is not guaranteed, and Millwall cannot relax!

Over the years, Aldridge has seldom made mistakes in key battles, which has a lot to do with his deliberation and emotional restraint. Of course he will be excited about the team scoring a goal and leading the score, but he must restrain himself and pass his own. Words and deeds to change directions to warn the team not to relax.

Manchester United's midfield attack was a mess, because they were relatively scattered when defending. When they switched from defense to offense, they were under tremendous pressure by Millwall's mad rush in the midfield. The support is distributed in various free areas, and they lack time, which is also one of the difficulties that the fast pace of the game tests the team.

Originally, Manchester United could do better, but they looked tired compared to Millwall, and when they couldn't run as well as Millwall, they naturally appeared slower, unable to sort out the complicated situation and create a simple situation. offensive environment.

In the 36th minute, Millwall played an exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt. On the left, after Ronaldinho and Lahm completed two one-twos, Ronaldinho suddenly passed the ball back to Alonso, who then passed The offense shifted to the other side. Ronaldo, Henry, and Nedved made a short pass to each other and turned the Manchester United defense upside down. In the end, Nedved also passed the ball back to Alonso.

However, at this time, Alonso's position had rushed to the area close to the front midfielder. With his pressure, Manchester United's defensive system was completely disrupted. Alonso sent an exquisite direct pass. The space between Ferdinand crossed, Ronaldinho missed the ball halfway, Neville was shaken, the space behind him was exposed and could not be filled in time, Lahm dribbled the ball inside after receiving the ball from the baseline, almost in the same position as Ronaldinho just assisted, Lahm Tom picks the ball and passes it to the back of the goal.

Carroll jumped high and failed to touch the ball with his fingertips. He looked up desperately and watched the ball fly over him. When he landed, he turned his head and saw Ronaldo gently heading the ball down. With one press, the ball bounces into the goal!

2:0, c Ronaldo's header rewritten the score to 2:0, and Millwall took another step towards victory! This is a classic goal, and it is a display of teamwork that belongs to Millwall's colors. They are completely Destroyed Manchester United's defense! The repeated 'intimidation' and 'deterrence' made the Manchester United players completely lose their composure and appeared extremely flustered, so they missed someone, and Millwall launched another fatal blow, easily rewriting the score !

Cristiano Ronaldo ran around the field with a smile on his face. The young and energetic guy has played beautiful statistics this season and plays a more important role in this team. And he is still growing up and is not yet the goal machine of the future.

Until the end of the first half, Millwall continued to bombard Manchester United, and Manchester United defended passively. Ruud van Nistelrooy in front was dizzy and retreated a little while defending. Immediately ran forward, but the ball could not be delivered to his feet. Before running a few steps, he turned around and retreated. Almost the entire first half was running forward and backward. But rarely can appear in the live camera......

During the intermission, Aldridge praised the team's performance and asked them to work harder!

After Manchester United's midfield adjustment, they really wanted to make waves at the Lion King Stadium in the second half, but soon, they were beaten by Millwall's fast break and had to start anew.

Heinze became the unlucky guy. He couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's goal. In the 53rd minute, the second half had just started less than 10 minutes. Heinze was so angry that he made a breakthrough in the penalty area. Sliding shovel, and then, Ronaldo fell in the penalty area. The referee not only pointed to the penalty spot, but also showed Heinze a second yellow card. In the first half, he already had a yellow card, which was when defending outside the penalty area Crudely knocked down Ronaldo, and now, two yellows have turned into one red, and he is about to be sent off.

The Millwall fans sang and mocked Heinze in the stands. They bounced and danced. They earned a penalty for the team's two-goal lead, and the opponent sent off another person. The game was absolutely stable.

Ferguson looked a little helpless, and Aldrich finally got a big stone in his heart after Ronaldinho scored a penalty kick.

In less than 60 minutes, Millwall withdrew.

Although it is very possible to rewrite the score by applying more offensive pressure, Aldridge still chose to let it go.

After all, before their visit to Stamford Bridge next week, they still have a Champions League semi-final first leg to play, which is an away game. (to be continued)
