The Young Lion

During the intermission of the Premier League final game, Aldridge walked back to the locker room first. The tactics remained unchanged, but he told the team to control the rhythm of the midfield in the second half and use Manchester United's eagerness to equalize the score to counterattack in a targeted manner.

In a strong contest, the most taboo is to be guessed by the opponent. It is no secret that Manchester United will attack from before the start of the game. This is similar to the situation when Millwall played against Manchester United in the first half. It also weakens the defense and puts more energy into the offense. There is a trade-off. Although the frontal attack pressure is high, the defensive pressure of being counterattacked by the opponent will also increase.

After the intermission, the players from both sides walked back to the field, while Aldridge was still sitting on the coach's bench.

It was Ferguson's turn to sit still. From the beginning of the second half, he stood on the sidelines and instructed the players to move, so that Manchester United players made unremitting efforts to attack Millwall's defense.

The Red Devils started to fight and launched a Jedi counterattack.

Millwall kept playing, and the opponent's pair of golden wings kept making a fuss on the wing. Fortunately, Manchester United's striker was not strong enough and did not pose much threat.

Manchester United's three forwards, Cole, Solskjaer, plus Sheringham who is sitting on the bench today, even counting Scholes, the total goals of the four players are less than 40, even Manchester United's total Less than 60% of the goals, Sheringham's goal rate of less than 0.3 per game is really unflattering. Even if Solskjaer is troubled by injuries this season, the goal rate is similar to Sheringham. Cole performed well , has scored 16 goals, and still hopes to hit the top scorer in the Premier League, as long as he performs a hat-trick in this game.

Millwall is distracted by the European war this year, and the Premier League scorer list. The goals of Larson and Shevchenko have been fixed at 18 and 17. Trezeguet is less. There are also 15. The number of goals scored by the striker trident is significantly lower than last year, but calculated according to the playing time, the scoring efficiency is still amazing.

As the game progressed to the 60th minute, there was commotion in the stands.

Wild Lions fans watched the game with a relaxed mind. To be honest, if they think about the Premier League championship today, they will feel conflicted. Just forget about it.

There were close to 3,000 Manchester United fans coming to the away game. Originally, they didn't have so many tickets. More fans who entered the stadium bought tickets from the black market. The scalpers took the opportunity to make a fortune.

The commotion took place in the away stands, as Manchester United fans got the latest news and then began a new round of louder cheers.

Hehe, someone scored a goal at Villa Park.

Let me guess, it's definitely not Arsenal, otherwise Manchester United fans wouldn't have reacted like that.

Yes, Aston Villa lead Arsenal 1-0 at home. Arsene Wenger's team started the second half of the season on a sprint, but in the last minute of the title race. They looked too nervous and fell behind. .”

They are actually the same as Manchester United. Winning is the most stable. A draw is not guaranteed. The away game may be too high and Aston Villa counterattacks. But this is Aston Villa's best style of play.

Manchester United should be happy. As long as they can equalize the score and there will be no more score changes in the Villa Park game, then they will tie the score with Arsenal, and then win the Premier League title through the advantage of goal difference!

The Manchester United coaching staff also got the news, and Ferguson urged his disciples to fight harder!

Millwall was originally a substitute player. If Manchester United can't win the game, this is too unreasonable.

Now Aston Villa has also helped. For the time being, a draw will give the Red Devils the hope of being a champion, and as long as the Red Devils score an equalizer, Arsenal will definitely be hit when they get the news. Let Aston Villa play a few more.

Manchester United launched a frantic attack around Millwall's restricted area, and they could not count on the striker. Manchester United could only rely on two wings and Scholes' personal performance to make a fuss. Giggs repeatedly cut inside to create threats. Beckham Mu also tried a few long-range shots, and Scholes frequently advanced forward after supporting the midfielder, almost no different from the striker.

There are constant dangers in front of Millwall's goal, and Keller, who has been out of battle for a long time, has performed well. Since becoming Millwall's No. 2 goalkeeper, he has worked hard and only played in the cup. The appearance was in the FA Cup elimination game, and the time interval was a bit far away, but he was in good condition, and he never made a mistake when he should have successfully saved the ball.

From 63 minutes to 70 minutes, Manchester United's torrential attack failed to achieve results. As they pressed higher and higher, Millwall's space for counterattack gradually increased.

In the 72nd minute, Scholes' long-range shot from the penalty area was blocked by Ferdinand with his body, to be precise with his shoulder. The Manchester United player raised his hand to signal for a penalty kick. Manchester United's half-time run, because the bounced ball fell to Ballack's feet, and Millwall immediately launched a counterattack.

Bart consciously stared at Ronaldinho's position, but Ballack did not pass the ball to Ronaldinho, but gave it to Lampard who ran forward quickly.

The midfield is empty, Manchester United is undefended, defensive midfielder Butt stares at Ronaldinho and retreats step by step, Lampard rushes forward with the ball, no one comes up to press him all the way, Beckham rushes back from behind, and is about to catch up. At the top, Lampard passed the ball to Gudjohnsen who retreated in front.

The Icelander took control of the ball and was not in a hurry to move forward. After Ballack rushed up from the other side, he crossed the ball to Ballack.

At this time, Millwall had five players in front of Manchester United's penalty area, and Manchester United had five defenders, but Millwall took the initiative to move through passing and cutting, and successfully penetrated the opponent's defense.

Ballack wanted to break through the penalty area, which forced Bart to give up Ronaldinho, but when Bart moved, Ballack immediately handed the ball to Ronaldinho in front of the penalty area.

Ronaldinho made a gesture and kicked a long-range shot, forcing the Manchester United defender to press out. Stam came up to grab it. Ronaldinho made a false shot and made a real pass, and it was a frontal pass. The ball rolled between Stam's legs. Gudjohnsen moved the ball diagonally and took away the ball, which attracted Pallister's attention. When Pallister tilted his center of gravity, Gudjohnsen passed the ball diagonally again. The king of the penalty area, Ruud van Ness Troy successfully counter-offside. Facing Schmeichel. He beat the opponent with a close-range blast!

Ruud scored! He has contributed 10 league goals to the team in the limited number of appearances this season. Compared with Manchester United's weak striker, Millwall's striker is really full of talents! The score of 2:0 Let Manchester United smell the smell of death. The score at Villa Park is still 1:0. Today's Premier League championship is too dramatic. If Manchester United knew before the game that Arsenal would lose, they would definitely not play away It’s so radical, but who can predict it? Hehe, the current situation reminds me of the scene two years ago. Andy, what do you think?”

Hahaha, are you referring to Millwall's away game at St. James' Park two years ago? In the final stage of the league, Newcastle United's championship was in sight, but they lost to Millwall at home. Keegan's dream of the league title was lost. Hall ruthlessly kicked away, and today's Manchester United seems to have their dreams shattered in front of Hall!

Aldridge stood up calmly and called Duff and van der Meyde who had finished warming up. Although there were less than 20 minutes left in the game, he still hoped to pass the match with Manchester United. Especially in such a big scene, let the two make clear tactical instructions. Play the game calmly after playing.

Regardless of how much time is left and how the game is going, substitute players must perform well when they come on the field.

Millwall's substitution was not suspected of delaying time, because Aldridge changed two at a time.

Gudjohnsen and Ballack are replaced.

After all, Ballack is the first substitute in the Champions League midfielder. He played more than 70 minutes today, so he still needs to save some strength.

Ferguson also made a substitution at the same time, adding to the front line, bringing on Sheringham and replacing Pallister.

Manchester United was desperate, and changed to 343. There were only four pure defensive players in the backcourt. Except for Stam, no one was absolutely hard on Millwall's offensive players one-on-one.

Millwall changed to 4231.

Manchester United is about to break the boat, and Aldridge is completely predictable. When the second goal appears, Manchester United has no retreat. As for Millwall, with more than 15 minutes left, it is not a good choice to stick to it. Counterattack The 4231 formation with more points in the frontcourt is more suitable.

Manchester United's substitutions had an effect after 5 minutes.

Beckham lobbed from the right side of the penalty area to the far corner of the goal, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced towards the small penalty area.

Manchester United has an extra striker. Millwall's man-marking in the penalty area has not adapted to it. A striker of the opponent is missed. In addition, the opponent shoots and then pops up. The two-point offense is originally a relatively weak defense. The striker of the Red Devils is astute. The ground shot the ball into the goal.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer! He scored a goal for the team. There are still about 10 minutes left. Manchester United will equalize the score as long as they score another goal. The score at Villa Park is still unchanged. Manchester United is from the death line. They are back again, at least they see a glimmer of life!

After Solskjaer scored a goal, he hugged the ball and ran back, while Manchester United's teammates also ran back panting, encouraging each other at the same time.

After losing the ball, Aldridge walked to the sidelines and calmly made a downward gesture towards the team, telling them to stabilize and not to panic.

There is nothing to panic about Millwall. If Manchester United can equalize and win the championship, it will be thanks to Arsenal.

Time was running out, and after Millwall re-kicked off, Manchester United aggressively pressed the attack, which forced Millwall's backcourt players to make frequent clearances.

Aldridge never forbids the players to kick their feet. Although the style of play is mainly based on possession and passing, he can't face the game with a brain.

Materazzi's big foot opened high and far, but Aldrich appreciated his move very much.

Such a clearance ball can relieve everyone's psychological pressure, and at the same time consume Manchester United's physical energy to retreat and run wildly. Although not all members retreated, at least the various fronts opened up the distance, giving Millwall time to re-arm and cut the opponent's attack Formation time.

When the game came to the last five minutes of regular time, Manchester United frequently lobbed high balls into the penalty area. Millwall quickly adjusted after losing the ball just now. Lampard retreated deeper when he returned to defense, and the two full backs also shrank. restricted area.

Neville came up with an assist, and when he was about to catch Beckham's pass down the bottom, he was blocked by Zambrotta from Beckham's direct pass, and Zambrotta passed it straight to Duff in front of him.

Duff passed a cross to Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho made a direct pass to the front of the left. Duff broke through halftime and got the ball on the touchline while starting at full speed. There were only three defensive players in the backcourt of Manchester United, including four goalkeepers. , and Millwall's counterattack is based on playing more and less.

Duff cut inside when he reached the threat area along the wing. When there was room for a shot, Stam had to come up and press. Although he knew it was a very dangerous move, he couldn't just watch the opponent kick. shoot.

Sure enough, when Stam made a move, Duff passed the ball to Ronaldinho who was going forward. Ronaldinho single-handedly, Schmeichel attacked, and Ronaldinho crossed the goal.

Ruud van Nistelrooy easily pushed the empty goal.

Roud van Nistelrooy scored twice! Millwall leads Manchester United 3:1. It seems that Manchester United has no hope. Hall will not let Manchester United win the championship trophy at the door of the Wild Lions!

Ferguson had a red nose on the sidelines and remained motionless for a long time. Before the game restarted, he waved his hand and told the Red Devils a clear signal: attack!

No matter how much time is left in the game, even if it is only one second, we must strive for a miracle! (to be continued..) ()
