It was a one-sided game in the first half. Millwall had the initiative and scored two goals. They controlled the rhythm of the game steadily. Bryan Robson probably didn't expect to come to the Lions Den. , will encounter a completely different Millwall from the first half of the season. How will Middlesbrough change in the second half? Or retain their strength and fight against the teams behind the standings?

At halftime, Aldridge returned to the locker room, and the players built up a sense of confidence as they continued to win. They would no longer be overjoyed by the midfield lead, and took a gentle and calm break.

Aldridge praised the team's performance. There is nothing to adjust tactically. As long as they control the ball and take the initiative to shrink in the second half, the victory will be won. He can even foresee that Middlesbrough will inevitably fight back in the second half. Will give Millwall more opportunities to fight back.

But he still walked in front of Beckham, a young player with a smile on his face, who participated in an attack and assisted a goal in the first half, which made him very proud.

David, we have already led by two goals. You are really talented on the offensive end, but we must first defend well. In the second half, you should not insert easily on the right side. In the deep position, your long pass will be unexpected. If you go forward, you will lack the space to use it. If you are counterattacked, if you cannot return to the defense in time, we may be shot through the side by the opponent. Do you understand?

When Aldridge arranges tactics, he always puts the truth in front of the players habitually, instead of telling the opponent what kind of task to complete in an orderly manner. His habit makes the players in the team very satisfied.

Beckham wiped his sweat, put away his smile and nodded to express his understanding.

Aldridge didn't say any more, and walked out of the locker room with the players after a short rest.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Although the team led by two goals, Aldridge still stood on the sidelines. He knew the importance of this game. In the remaining 14 rounds of the league, Middlesbrough may boost their morale and threaten Millwall's top position.

After the game started again, the Millwall fans were already singing We are the champions, Playing in the Premier League next season and other self-made songs.

There was constant singing and laughing in the stands, but Aldridge frowned.

The spirit of the Middlesbrough players changed suddenly in the second half, and they showed a fighting spirit that was very different from the first half.

Aldridge understood that Bryan Robson actually put the decisive battle in the second half. Regardless of whether Millwall took the lead or drew in the first half, this was the opponent's strategy.

In a draw, Millwall might be edgy in their eagerness to beat their opponents.

Leading, Millwall may underestimate the enemy.

The process of scoring a goal on the football field has always been very short, maybe a few seconds to a dozen seconds.

45 minutes in the second half, is it enough time to come back? More than enough for a team with fighting spirit!

Thuram steals the ball from the backcourt, passes it forward, and intends to give the ball to Beckham, but he does not expect that Beckham does not wait for the ball on the spot, but runs forward, as if intending to save time to complete a quick fight back.

Aldrich's eyes widened in disbelief.

Did everything I tell you at halftime fall on deaf ears? !

Beckham intends to take the ball to his feet without turning around.

Unexpectedly, someone stretched out a foot in front of him, easily broke the ball, and then rushed to the frontcourt.

Curtis Fleming!

It's him again!

Aldridge scolded in a low voice, furious: F—uck!

After being intercepted, Beckham quickly chased back, but his speed was not an advantage. After being intercepted, he turned back and chased, and couldn't touch Fleming's jersey at all.

It was originally Millwall's counterattack, but Middlesbrough launched a counterattack after stealing the ball.

After Fleming dribbled the ball into Millwall's half from the wing, Makelele quickly moved vertically to intercept, and Fleming quickly crossed the ball to the midfield.

Middlesbrough's tactic of attracting defense from the wing and then focusing on the center is obviously carefully rehearsed.

After receiving the ball, Blackmore passed the ball to Masto, who was plugged in, before Nedved pressed close!

The two forwards, Hendry and Kavanagh, have been pressing the defense, so that Stam and Southgate dare not rush up. Masto took the ball to the penalty area and unexpectedly kicked a long shot!

Nedved chased back and put the shovel back, but he was a step too late, and could only watch the ball go out!

World wave!

With almost no spin, the ball slammed into the upper left corner of Millwall's goal at an extremely fast speed. Caserly Keller could only look at the ball and sigh.

After Middlesbrough scored, striker Kavanagh quickly took the ball out of the goal and ran to the backcourt. The other players did not celebrate.

Aldrich's face darkened. If there was only one person responsible for the conceded goal just now: Beckham!

Thuram was restrained by Hegnett who was on the sidelines and couldn't go up. Makelele's vertical sweep was a normal choice, but it was originally a Millwall counterattack. Nedved was stepping forward. As long as Beckham Taking the ball from the side, Nedved had already run out of the open space to catch the ball, but he was counterattacked by the opponent on the spot. Masto's world wave is impeccable, maybe even if he is given a hundred chances, he may not be able to Shot such a wonderful goal.

But such a conceded goal is by no means accidental!

During the half-time break, other players could hear Aldridge's instructions to Beckham, so after losing the ball, Southgate ran up to Beckham and said to him seriously: Listen honestly. If you are the boss, don't rush forward!

His single mistake will make Millwall's entire defensive system passive, and then the opponent will find a loophole.

As the English folk song goes:

Lost a nail, lost a horseshoe nail;

Lost a horseshoe nail, broke a war horse;

Lost a horse, lost a king;

Lost a king, lost a war;

Lost a war, lost an empire!

Seeing Beckham drooping his head, Aldridge wanted to say something, but couldn't bear it anymore.

After all, he is still a young player, and honing from mistakes is the only way to grow.

After the game started again, Middlesbrough had the momentum to counterattack aggressively.

In this regard, Aldridge sneered in his heart: Do you think that one goal will defeat Millwall? too naive!

Ten minutes later, Middlesbrough paid the price for their fightback.

Larsson pulled out of the penalty area and played an exquisite cooperation with Nedved and Pires. The three of them tricked the three defenders of Middlesbrough through consecutive passes. In the end, Larsson inserted into the penalty area and received a pass from Pires. Without stopping the ball, he turned around and volleyed. The ball hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!

In the 63rd minute of the game, Millwall once again took a two-goal lead against Middlesbrough at home 3:1.

Seeing this conceded goal, Brian Robson shook his head slightly. This is the gap between the players' strength!

Aldridge originally thought that he could breathe a sigh of relief by taking the lead again, but unexpectedly, Beckham once again actively advanced to participate in the attack on the right.

He shouted from the sidelines: David! Come back to me!

Beckham, who was in the front court, turned his head and made a downward gesture to Aldrich, as if telling Aldridge: Boss, relax, don't be nervous, it's okay, I have a sense of proportion!

Aldridge's face instantly became extremely ugly!

At this moment, Middlesbrough again attacked from their left flank.

Bryan Robson has already seen that the biggest hole in Millwall's defensive system is on the right, and there is a large space behind that handsome Manchester United kid.

This time, Fleming did not attack by dribbling and breaking through. He played two-for-one with left center back Wicks.

Wicks's forward assist was unexpected, and Beckham was played by Fleming and Wicks like a stake.

Then, Fleming once again left Beckham behind.

Middlesbrough repeated the old trick, Mustow made another brave move forward, Blackmore and Highgnett went side by side in the middle, and the ball was passed back and forth quickly under their feet. When Makelele knocked Blackmore down from the side, The referee stopped the game, reached out to signal Makelele to foul, and took out a yellow card from his pocket, and then another red card!

Makelele already had a yellow card in the first half!

Makelele, who had two yellows and one red, didn't have any excuses, and he walked down the field dejectedly.

Seeing this scene, Aldridge turned around and kicked away the mineral water bottle he had put on the ground!

Bernd, Patrick, warm up quickly, after this free kick, you go on, Patrick replaces Trezeguet to replace Claude, Bernd replaces Beckham, Patrick, you tell Pavel after you come on, and form with him Double defensive midfielders, two wingers shrink half court to fight back!

The furious Aldridge quickly made substitution adjustments.

What made him even angrier was that Middlesbrough scored a direct free kick!

Blackmore curled an impeccable kick through the goal guarded by Keller.

The situation on the Millwall field is in jeopardy. The 2:0 advantage in the first half is gone, and now it is only a 3:2 lead, and there is one less player!

After this goal was produced, with 20 minutes remaining, Brian Robson also quickly dispatched troops, added a midfielder, replaced a central defender, and played the traditional 442.

When Trezeguet was replaced by Vieira, Aldridge walked over to greet Trezeguet. Today, Trezeguet scored twice. Trezeguet played very happily, but the situation of the game made him unable to laugh. Aldridge After Qi hugged him, he walked back to the coach's bench, not even looking at the frustrated Beckham at the end of the game.
