The Young Lion

The head coach may explain his own tactical ideas to the players during training and instill a game philosophy in the players, but when it comes to a specific game, it is basically impossible for the head coach to tell the players why they play like this and how to play. Improve your odds.

Because the game changes rapidly, the pre-match arrangement is likely to need to be adjusted during the game, once, twice, or even more. The head coach has no time to explain the reasons for the change to the players. All he needs is the execution of 11 people on the field. To be precise, it is tactical literacy.

How I tell you to play, you will give me how to play.

Regardless of winning or losing, the head coach must be most responsible, and therefore must have such authority.

Ferguson naturally has such authority at Manchester United, he is the ruler of Old Trafford.

He knows very well that today against Millwall, when he comes to the away game, the result of sticking to it is both loss and embarrassment. The loss is not terrible, what is terrible is the loss of dignity, and the dignity of Manchester United is to never stick to it under any circumstances. This is not the same as conservative tactics. It is a completely different concept. To defend is to sacrifice all offenses, and to be conservative is a tactical strategy.

And what about the defensive counterattack?

Arsenal's debacle is the best example of failure and must not be emulated.

Manchester United must attack, and must be bold and risky, desperate, and not afraid of losing the ball to attack desperately!

Only by exerting offensive pressure and stretching the front line can there be a possibility of rivaling Millwall.

But maybe it was a two-goal lead in 10 minutes. This unprecedented situation made Manchester United soldiers worry about gains and losses.

Players are not puppets on strings, virtual data in computer games without minds absolutely obeying orders, when their hearts fluctuate due to the trend of the game. With their long-term game experience. Subconsciously choose the option they think is best.

When Ferguson discovered this, he rushed out and yelled at the players. Remind them to attack and don't be afraid to lose the ball!

The more you are afraid of something, the more you come!

Sir Ferguson noticed something was wrong on the field and he reminded the players, but the players got it a little late. Millwall's goal proved Sir Alex Ferguson's insight into the game, but it failed to help Manchester United avoid losing. ball.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines to supervise the battle. He had the majesty of commanding an army to fight. In contrast, Aldridge looked calm and calm, standing quietly on the sidelines with his usual expression.

This is quite in line with the life posture that the two should have in their respective age groups.

After Manchester United lost the ball, the soldiers seemed to be woken up. Although they were still leading, Ferguson's roar reminded them of the tactical requirements before the game.

Attack, attack madly, don't look at the score, if Ferguson doesn't wave the command flag to change the combat policy, they don't make any changes!

This time. The game scene became open and closed.

It seems that both teams don't want midfield. It is almost impossible to see the two teams pass the ball too much in the midfield. Basically, the three-legged pass must hit the forward field.

It seems that the midfielder is defenseless, but it is not.

Instead, the two teams entered a pairing state. Manchester United's double forwards, the bilateral forwards withstood Millwall's back line, Scholes and Keane who assisted him withstood Nedved and Gattuso, Peir Because of the obvious difference in speed, Luo could not go straight up and down in a fast pace, so he was also pressed in the midfield area.

At this time, the two teams are attacking each other, and the offensive threats all come from the opponent's quick counterattack after the attack fails. If you want to play fast, you must quickly cross the midfield. The midfield hinders the opponent, unless it is a tactical foul.

In this exciting situation, Millwall is not as threatening as Manchester United.

Aldrich watched for another ten minutes, and finally made up his mind to make adjustments.

It won't work if you don't adjust it.

Today Pirlo's defensive problems were exposed at a glance. At the same time, Millwall was not as aggressive as Manchester United. Both Larson and Ronaldinho returned to defense. The starting position of the counterattack was in the midfield. This kind of counterattack with a small number of people is prepared, which is to slow down the rhythm or use fouls to destroy the offense to buy time for the midfielders to return to defense.

Taking advantage of a dead ball, Aldridge called Ronaldinho who was closest to him.

Ronaldinho had a solemn expression, thinking that Aldridge would give him some secret missions and let him be a surprise soldier!

But what Aldrich said made him think he had heard wrong.

From now on, you don't have to go back to the defense, just stay in the midfield and tell Henrik and Thierry the same instructions.

Ronaldinho looked bewildered, he really thought he had heard wrong, maybe he had misheard the key words.

Uh, boss, say it again.

You, Henry, Larson, stay in the frontcourt and move around freely without participating in the defense.

Fuck! Boss! Why did you suddenly discover your conscience at this time!

Ronaldinho opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.

To be honest, with his abilities, Henry and Larson's abilities, most teams have a lot of privileges on the field, not participating in defense is one of them, Ronaldinho is not particularly important in the Brazilian national team Defensive mission.

Only in Millwall, participation in defense is an important indicator. Offensive players are not required to achieve 100 points, but at least 60 points must be passed. Midfield players must start with 80 points. Defenders must be 100 points. 100 percent.

So Ronaldinho was very surprised.

Aldridge pushed his head expressionlessly, Ronaldinho took a step back and looked back at Aldrich, only to hear Aldridge shout to him impatiently: Go!

Ronaldinho grinned and stretched out his hand to give a thumbs up.

Ronaldinho ran back to convey Aldridge's instructions to Henry and Larson, but the two still didn't believe it, thinking that Ronaldinho had falsely passed on the imperial decree.

This is not nonsense!

Manchester United's offensive is so fierce, we are not allowed to defend now.

Ronaldinho, bucktooth boy, now is not the time to play with fire!

Henry and Larson didn't believe it until they looked to the sidelines and got Aldridge's nod for confirmation.

After 20 seconds, Aldridge gave Nedved another tactical instruction, a very simple sentence: You and Pirlo change positions.

Not only does Nedved have no doubts about this. And I agree with Aldrich's adjustment.

The key to defense is man marking. Pirlo is in that position. But if there is a loophole in man-to-man or one-on-one breakthrough, then this is a huge hidden danger. As a teammate, if you see him defending, should you help him? Questions like this can be confusing.

This is rare because few teams face Millwall with such crazy pair fighting tactics, and even if there are teams, they are not strong enough. But Manchester United is different. The offensive team in the frontcourt is already ranked among the top in Europe, and with the addition of Keane who is inserted in the back, instead of letting Pirlo stand in that defensive position, which is worrying, it is better to simply liberate him and replace him with Nedvi. Germany to go.

This adjustment can also allow Pirlo to maximize his power when switching from defense to offense.

Both Scholes and Keane went up, Pirlo was behind them, and Pirlo's starting position when Millwall attacked. The area with the ball is completely unguarded. The possibility of being restricted is greatly reduced!

Ivan, who was sitting on the VIP seat in the stands of the stadium, turned his head and smiled at Puskas: Look, Aldridge made another on-the-spot adjustment, and Millwall will score soon.

Puskas smiled and said: Football, anything is possible, and adjustment does not mean good results.

Otherwise we make a bet that Millwall will score the next goal and the score will be equalized.

What are you betting on? Little girl.

Well, let me think about it, dinner, autograph.

Oh, I win, will you buy me dinner?.

Well, and Elizabeth.

You won, do I just need to sign you?.

yes.

It doesn't seem fair, I took advantage.

I took advantage, hehe.

Okay, the bet is established.

Look, I've won!

Just when Yiwen clenched his fists and raised his smile like a flower, the entire Lion's Den stadium fell silent.

She turned her head and saw that in the stadium overlooking, the Manchester United soldiers frantically ran to the corner flag area to celebrate.

Puskas smiled and turned his head to look at Yiwen with a dull face, and said, I won this game easily.

how is this possible

Yiwen muttered to himself, as if he didn't believe what he saw.

It's a pity that the Lion's Den Stadium does not have a large TV screen, so you can't see the replay of the goal.

If Ivan was watching TV, she would be able to hear Martin Taylor's crazy screams by now.

Scholes! Scholes! Scholes scored twice to help Manchester United lead by two goals again, and now they lead Millwall 3:1! There is still 1 minute left in the first half stoppage time, if half time Two goals behind, Millwall's winning streak could really come to an end today!

In the replay of the TV camera, Scholes took a long shot from 40 yards in front of the penalty area. This long shot was originally shot very well, but Gattuso, who was three meters in front of Scholes, blocked it with his body. , The ball was refracted on his calf and turned into a lob, and it was still lobbed into the dead corner of the goal. Bute sat on the goal line and was a little speechless.

Since the new season, the goal he guards is not to mention conceding three goals in a single game. On average, he only concedes 0.3 goals per game!

Millwall's frontcourt players looked at each other, Henry touched his head, walked up to Larson and asked in a low voice: Is this really all right?.

what?

The boss told us not to participate in the defense. In the end, we lost the ball again.

That's not something we should be thinking about.

Larson's mentality is still very stable. He has been with Millwall for many years and has seen all kinds of scenes. Before kick-off, he said to Henry: If you have time, go and watch all the videos of our previous games against Manchester United.

It is not surprising that Millwall played passionately with Manchester United. This is directly related to the style and strength of the two teams.

The first Premier League game in the history of the Millwall club was against Manchester United. The 5:5 process is still in Larson's memory. How did Wall get to where he is today?

When the half-time whistle sounded, Ferguson's face was flushed, and Aldridge put his hands in his coat pockets and walked into the player channel calmly.

The third conceded goal has nothing to do with tactics, using a word he never wants to use but must use today: luck.

If a long shot from 40 yards from the goal can ensure the scoring rate, Manchester United would have been against the sky.

The conceded goal will not interfere with his thinking. The score has changed, but the contest between the tactical confrontation and the coach on the field has not changed.

This kind of goal, Millwall can score a few times in a season, but never really pin their hopes on long shots from 40 yards away. It is one thing to be able to score. It's another matter, most of the time long shots are either for tactics, or there is no chance to try to penetrate.

Manchester United led by another two goals. With Ferguson's previous roar, it seems that at least the Manchester United players themselves will not actively adjust in the second half.

Aldridge is looking forward to the second half. (to be continued...) ()
