The Young Lion

Millwall's bad record seems to be continuing, and they are the first to concede the ball again! This situation makes people confused why, it seems that they are not lax, lack of fighting spirit, it is easier to feel that Manchester United suddenly Got stronger!

The poor league record in August and the loss of the Community Shield at the same time are all understandable. We can say that Millwall has to fight on multiple fronts. The team's summer preparations have not been the best. Wait, but Sir Hall It is said that Millwall is getting better, but we haven’t seen this yet. + I think they are starting to show signs of anxiety, as if they don’t take Manchester United seriously, and they are putting too much pressure on them!”

Aldridge looked dignified on the sidelines at Old Trafford.

The breeze passed by, making him sigh inwardly: Times have changed.

Millwall has always been the benchmark for technical and tactical innovation in Europe. All teams are studying them, and in the past era, they have continued to innovate.

Perhaps their players are still getting stronger, but if they want to rule with a set of excellent skills and tactics for more than 3 years, this is simply a dream.

In terms of the whole team's anti-grab tactics, they used to be able to press wildly and unrestrainedly throughout the court, causing the opponent to lose their size and be dazed by the rob.

When the opponent once, twice, three times, and more times, and took a mental vaccination in preparation for the game, knowing that Millwall would do this, Millwall will face the game like this, and his power and efficiency will become more and more powerful. Low.

Playing Manchester United today, it can be said that this kind of defensive tactics of full-court oppression has become a weakness that opponents can take advantage of!

Advantages turned into disadvantages!

This is exactly what Aldridge and Ferguson fight each time, and it deserves his attention. Rather than the root cause of Ferguson as a passerby.

Now think back to last season. Aldrich should be alert. Benitez, the master tactician, his old friend taught him a lesson, but at that time Millwall was in full swing, Liverpool played Millwall in the same way, the gap in hard power did not turn the situation into a slap in the face .

Today, Millwall is not in the best condition, and Manchester United has the advantage of home court and momentum. The feedback information from the situation on the scene told Aldrich a clear signal: it must change!

Such a change is not to throw the defensive tactics of full-court oppression and counter-grabbing into the trash can, but to make detailed changes, finalize, reshape, and sublimate.

It's like people who don't understand football say that the changes in football tactics over the past century are always painfully slow, little by little, and it seems that there is no change at all.

This is a typical layman's point of view.

Just like Aldridge put Pirlo, a front midfielder, in the back midfielder position, it seems that it is only a very small change, and the formation will not change, but. This has created a brand new pattern in football, and now many teams use 4231. The withdrawal of the core of the organization is almost the general trend, making most teams flock to it.

Anti-grabbing, certainly can not be discarded.

However, it is absolutely impossible to adopt full-court oppression when strong teams confront each other, in an attempt to make the opponent completely collapse with mad grabs.

That's not realistic anymore.

However, Aldridge was prepared before, or he was waiting for this day a long time ago.

After gesturing to the players on the field, Millwall reduced the range of frontcourt pressure and counterattack. The team's focus of defense during counterattack will be placed in the midfield. This change has been used in many on-the-spot commands in the past. It has appeared before, but starting today, this will be finalized and become the main strategy of Millwall's defense.

Manchester United scored a goal, and Millwall launched a strong attack after falling behind.

Such a pinnacle battle in the hearts of Manchester United players, they are naturally going all out, Scholes and Keane's protection on the midfielder is very good, it is difficult for Henry to get a chance under strict marking.

Villa is on the front waistline, actually a shadow forward, rushing hard, unable to rush, and sending the ball forward, he does lack the aura of some wonderful passes.

Ronaldo is still the one who played fairly well, but Aldridge suddenly noticed something in today's game.

Ronaldo, when will it explode?

He looks very stable. Since he became the main force last season, he has been very stable. He has been stable to a certain extent, but he feels mediocre!

This is relatively speaking. If Glenshire had Ronaldo's performance at Ronaldo's age, it would be absolutely impossible for Glenshire to leave Millwall that year.

However, for Ronaldo, he should perform better. For a genius, if he cannot improve every day, it is tantamount to declining!

After Aldridge made a defensive change, Manchester United's idea of ​​catching Millwall's counterattack was shattered.

In the 20th minute of the game, Aldridge gestured to the midfielder to shift the focus of the attack!

When Henry, Ronaldo, and Villa did not play a particularly effective threat in the frontcourt, it showed two things. First, Manchester United defended very successfully. Second, Manchester United must have spent a lot of energy to mark them!

In terms of pure one-on-one defense, the three offensive players of Millwall dare not finish talking about Manchester United's defensive players, but the success rate should be more than 50%.

However, the success rate did not reach this figure, because Manchester United used more defensive personnel, assisting defenses, and pinch defenses to limit Millwall's key offensive players.

Then, relatively, the energy that can be spent on marking Millwall's secondary threats will be weakened.

In the 24th minute, Alonso's midfielder sent a diagonal pass. The ball crossed Manchester United's midfielder obliquely and rolled to the right side of the penalty area.

O'Shea wanted to rush forward to clear the siege, but he saw someone who was faster than him and touched the ball first, right in front of him!

It was a small player who was a head shorter than him, and his figure also seemed to be thin. O'Shea was a little at a loss. The opponent was too flexible. When he touched the ball, he seemed to speed up and wiped past him without stopping!

O'Shea even felt that if he stretched out his hand to foul, it would be a crime!

Messi looks so immature!

He followed Aldridge's advice and had a short, crisp haircut, making him look more like a middle school student, full of sunshine and vigor, rather than a hot-blooded man on the court.

After Messi brushed past O'Shea, he went directly into the penalty area. Sylvester rushed to defend immediately. Just before he and Messi were about to make contact, Messi dexterously swiped the ball inside with his left foot. , I dodged Sylvester on the spot to intercept his feet. At that moment, Sylvester only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and he didn't know how the other party did it!

Stopping suddenly and changing direction at high speed, Messi seems not to be affected by physical inertia. His extraordinary skills are not fancy, just like the basic skills in a textbook!

But, he just passed!

At this time, the goal is wide open, and only Van der Sar is in front of Messi.

Ferdinand stared closely at Henry. He didn't expect O'Shea and Sylvester to be broken by Messi in a short period of time. It was too late to save him!

Facing Edwin van der Sar, everyone was expecting Messi to hit the goal with a heavy kick. However, Messi didn't seem to swing his leg to shoot. In the process of dribbling the ball, he gently pushed the ball forward, and the ball was accurate. Rolled to the inside of the far post of the goal, dead corner.

Van der Sar, no response!

He was shaken!

He was too concentrated, until he waited for the moment when Messi's shot came out to accurately predict. As a result, when the ball rolled halfway to the goal, he reacted. At that time, he also knew that he would not touch it even if he made a save To the ball, stand in place and surrender!

Goal! Millwall equalized the score! The goal is the teenager Messi! This goal was scored entirely by his personal ability, but we still have to praise Alonso's overall view, his direct pass The ball was accurately passed to the line of Messi's inside cut. After touching the ball, Messi accelerated and passed O'Shea, changed direction and passed Sylvester in the penalty area, and finally pushed the ball calmly. Scored into the dead corner and beat Van der Sar!

Old Trafford fell silent.

Damn Millwall, even in a bad state, can always create accidents!

Ferguson remained expressionless.

In fact, he didn't know how to express his helplessness.

Messi is not a nobody.

Perhaps for the whole world, Messi's name is still a little strange.

However, in Premier League coaching circles, a few years ago someone was talking about Millwall having a small genius named Messi.

The biggest star who helped Millwall break records all the way from the u15 echelon, swept all the honors of the youth team, and even aspired to the European Club Youth Champions League.

Messi is a player that many coaches want to poach and train to become the core of the team in the future.

Geniuses at the entrance of Fleet Street are cheap goods. It seems that as long as a cat or a dog can play football, they can be boasted as geniuses.

But in the head coach circle, Messi is a genuine genius. This evaluation is very pertinent, because watching him play, even watching the video, you can clearly judge that Messi's ability is absolutely ahead of his peers of.

Messi scored.

His first goal at Old Trafford, the first time he scored against a giant, his celebration was very restrained, and his smile looked very shy.

He is not Henry, the man with the halo of Europe's number one striker on his head.

He is not Ronaldo, he already drives a famous car, lives in a luxury house, and is as eye-catching as the new generation leader of the Portuguese national team.

He is just Messi, a little famous, but Messi who has no real achievements and honors in his hands.

He is on the way of growth, he is cherishing every opportunity, trying his best to let himself face everything that is happening now with a normal mind.

In the green field, to become a superstar is actually a process of accumulating honors.

Personal honor, team honor.

Getting it just once is not enough to become a superstar.

Once, twice, three times, and more times, in the process of continuous accumulation, can one embark on the road to superstardom.

Stepping on the turf of Old Trafford, Messi, who was embraced by Henry, pointed to the sky. He was doing a ceremony of gratitude, and his bright eyes were shining with the light of longing for a superstar. (To be continued..)
