The Young Lion

Thank you Thieves for your reward!

In this FA Cup semi-final, Millwall and Manchester United actually had the same idea. The battle was resolved within 90 minutes. In the semi-final, a single game was won. If the tie occurred within 90 minutes, extra time would be added instead of a rematch.

Neither team wanted to drag the game into extra time, even if Millwall came off the bench.

If you can't attack for a long time, you will lose, and Manchester United is like this.

They attacked wildly for 30 minutes, but failed to score a goal, but Millwall seized the opportunity in the 32nd minute.

Klose snatched the ball with his big foot in the backcourt, and then directly hit the diagonal back side. When defending him, he crossed the middle, Lampard stepped in and kicked out the ball, and the ball returned to Klose's feet.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was originally level with Stam, but when Stam was about to turn around the ball, he accelerated head-on. After successfully getting the ball in anti-offside, he calmly pushed and shot the near corner of the goal. Schmeichel fell to the ground and made a save to no avail.

Millwall leads Manchester United 1-0.

Vud Nistelrooy scored, Millwall opened the scoring!

The fans who came to the Elland Road Stadium to cheer for the Lions cheered up and down, and now there are voices shouting the slogan of the Triple Crown!

As long as Millwall beats Manchester United today, the prospects will be bright!

Ferguson was livid on the sidelines.

He realized that perhaps he had made the same mistake as Wenger.

It was all confused by Millwall sending a substitute.

Even as a substitute, the combat effectiveness of Millwall's players is very strong, enough to fight. In particular, Aldridge tailored defensive counterattack tactics for them. Guarantee the record with a stable defense. If you play offensive football, you may be defeated by a strong team.

Ferguson cursed in his heart.

Damn it, Ruud van Nistelrooy should have been poached to Manchester United earlier!

Looking at Van Nistelrooy who was celebrating after scoring, Ferguson was both envious and annoyed at Aldridge.

Such a good striker can't be the main player in Millwall!

If United had lured Ruud van Nistelrooy before he exploded this season,

Maybe Ferguson can really succeed, now, if there is no main position. Van Nistelrooy would rather play as a substitute at Millwall, at least as long as he plays the game, he is very comfortable playing football. Look at Klose's assists, and he has a tacit understanding with him.

Aldridge also felt tangled because of Van Nistelrooy.

When the main force is not injured, Van Nistelrooy can only play as a substitute.

As Ruud van Nistelrooy grew older, his appeal for the main position became stronger and stronger.

Keep it, worrying that he will get angry and abuse himself.

If you don't keep it, who will you sell it to?

Ruud van Nistelrooy looked down on the middle and lower reaches of the team, and Aldrich hoped that some foreign rich clubs could take Ruud van Nistelrooy away. Lest he stay in the Premier League and abuse himself in the future.

Vieira, Pires. Players such as Stam, Tony, Gudjohnsen and others left Millwall to continue to play in the Premier League. In a sense, they caused trouble for Millwall.

After conceding the ball, Ferguson gave instructions to his disciples.

Attack must continue to attack, otherwise give up the game?

However, the offensive and defensive system must be balanced. You can’t be caught off guard by the counterattack because of too much attack just like when you lost the ball just now. Just like how they played against Arsenal, once the opponent is given a large amount of space to counterattack, the opponent’s two sides plus the midfielder will suddenly accelerate. Hitting the ground to pass and cut, there is no way to prevent it.

After Manchester United adjusted, the pace of the game slowed down slightly, and the Red Devils played steadily in the midfield to accumulate advantages.

However, Millwall's defense was solid and they didn't give the opponent a chance.

In the first half, Millwall walked into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.

Aldridge praised the team's performance and urged them to continue to work hard in the second half.

The team chanted 'kill Manchester United' to boost morale before walking out of the dressing room

Aldridge happened to meet Ferguson in the player tunnel, and Ferguson said in a dissatisfied tone: Is it interesting for Millwall to learn from Arsenal? What about your traditional 4-3-3?

Aldridge smiled when he heard the words. Indeed, Millwall's 433 was powerful in the season when he won the league championship in 1997, and now the main lineup is also playing 433. The outside world seems to have labeled Millwall as 433.

Aldridge walked out side by side with Ferguson, raised his eyebrows and said: When I first coached the team in 1994, I played 442. When I was playing defense, Arsenal was still playing 5 defenders. Wenger just went to Japan. What do you mean my team is learning from Arsenal?

Ferguson retorted: Your debut in the Premier League in 1995 was indeed 442 at Old Trafford, but is the 442 at that time the same as the 442 now? At that time, you were like people's soldiers defending peace. What is it like? It looks like a man who had undergone surgery to remove his testicles, neither yin nor yang.

Aldrich laughed until tears came out.

I have to say that 442 is just a formation, the key is how to arrange tactics.

It is indeed a bit wretched to shrink and retreat in the center like their substitute lineup and Arsenal to advance quickly in the counterattack.

But playing like this, the record is guaranteed. Do you think Arsenal have conceded fewer goals than Manchester United so far? Almost 20!

But Manchester United scored 20 more goals than Arsenal!

You have the same league points, do you really have the confidence to criticize Arsenal?

Ferguson was silent.

After they walked out of the player tunnel and separated, Ferguson suddenly turned his head and glared at Aldridge viciously.

Damn, what I'm attacking is Millwall's tactics today!

Aldridge is so cunning that he secretly changed the concept and changed the subject!

Supervising the battle on the sidelines with a good mood, Aldridge found that Manchester United did not mess up in the second half.

This is commendable. In his opinion, there is no direct relationship between whether the team is strong or not, how many goals it has scored, and how many goals it has conceded. On the contrary, in the adversity of backwardness, the team's posture is the standard that intuitively reflects the strength.

There seemed to be a lot of local fans at the Elland Road Stadium, because there were loud singing in the stands.

There is only one alliance.()

This is the song that Manchester United and Leeds United fans will sing. Its hostile spearhead is directed at the other side.

Aldridge looked around the field. Look at it this way. It seems that Millwall did take advantage of a bit of neutrality.

However, he felt that it was a disservice for these Leeds United fans to watch the game!

The singing was heard in the ears of Manchester United players, it was completely adrenaline stimulating each other!

Sure enough, Manchester United became fierce, but they played every step of the way. Beckham's cross was well-placed, but Ferdinand and Neil completely guarded against it. Scholes' long-range shots always returned in vain.

Time passed minute by minute.

Aldridge replaced Duff in the 75th minute of the second half, allowing Van der Meyde to play.

It looks like. Millwall will hold out to a small result and then progress to the final.

However, in the 88th minute of the game, Giggs stood up. He dribbled the ball in from the left, passed Lampard, and then avoided Mills's attack. Stopping and breaking through Ferdinand, who was distracted by Cole's forward drive, volleyed and scored from a small angle!

Giggs' one-man performance! He scored the ball past three people, it was a fantastic goal, Giggs. He saved Manchester United!

Aldridge smiled helplessly when he saw the goal lost, and clapped his hands to cheer the players up and continue the game.

Giggs' goals are similar to Nedved's super world wave in the Champions League. It is almost impossible to replicate, just like Maradona has played five people in a row. This kind of performance is a flash of inspiration on the spot, especially the breakthrough, every change of direction, acceleration, spiking, getting rid of, and so on. , Almost all subconsciously, and with the cooperation of opponents, Giggs may not be able to score another goal if he tries again 10 times.

Aldridge is not disappointed at all. Although he doesn't want to play overtime, if he wants to play, he should play. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for Manchester United, especially for the league and the Champions League.

Ferguson also applauded Giggs' goal.

However, he was only happy for less than a minute.

Millwall kicked off again, Manchester United pressed up to press, Millwall calmly fell, Van der Meyde received a pass from Lampard on the wing and passed it directly to Klose in front.

Klose stopped the ball and turned around and passed Butt directly. Butt had a problem with his position and didn't stick to Klose. At the same time, he subconsciously grabbed the ball when the opponent caught the ball. Klose turned around and passed him.

Klose, who took the ball forward, observed Ruud van Nistelrooy's running position. Stam and Johnson strictly watched Ruud van Nistelrooy. They all thought that Klose would pass the ball. In the previous time, Klose Ze almost always does this.

But realizing that no one was robbing him, Klose dribbled the ball and broke through, abruptly rushing through the middle of Stam and Johnson.

They were both dumbfounded.

The sudden acceleration of this big tall man was really not slow. Johnson turned around and failed to catch up. Klose shot through Schmeichel's ten fingers.

Lore! Millwall scored another goal less than 1 minute after Manchester United scored, 2:1, Klose lore Manchester United! What is Manchester United's defense doing? Butt, Stam, Johnson, three One of them was easily passed, and the two central defenders almost watched Klose enter the penalty area and score. What were they thinking? Don't they want to play extra time?

After scoring the goal, Klose rushed to the sidelines and did a somersault to celebrate.

Aldrich was also dumbfounded.

He was ready to substitute for overtime, and wanted Pedretti to replace Glenciel.

This goal was too unexpected, and Aldridge opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

After regaining his senses, he still made a substitution. This substitution was to delay time and strengthen defense.

But Pedretti played to replace Klose.

Ferguson's face was as black as carbon.

Fuck it, Klose's goal makes Giggs's goal worthless.

How did it happen?

Why does Millwall have so many good forwards?

Seeing that the German big man has good technical skills, especially his sense of teamwork is commendable, and the breakthrough into the penalty area just now was clean and neat.

The Millwall striker has had no worries for ten years!

While Ferguson told his disciples to work harder and score another goal, he cursed Aldridge in his heart.

It's really strange, Millwall is not yet a rich family, but at least in terms of player selection, they live a more comfortable life than the rich.

Manchester United pressed hard at the last moment but failed to score a second goal. Beckham tried to turn the tide with a long-range shot at the last moment. As a result, the ball went wide against the post and ended the game.

Millwall defeated Manchester United 2-1 in the semi-final of the FA Cup. They have entered the final and will compete with Newcastle United for the FA Cup this season. They are leading the league and the Champions League final will take the lead. The FA With the Cup reaching the final, Millwall fans can imagine the dream of the treble, if Millwall can complete this feat, there is no doubt that they will become the most successful club in the history of England in a single season!
