Come to Millwall to compete with a team of Manchester United's level. Manchester United must break Millwall's orderly and intensive defense. Even if the offensive and defensive numbers are balanced, the probability of blowing up will not exceed 30%, especially the players' personal abilities. When making a fuss, Giggs is probably the only player Manchester United relies on on its own. watermark ad test watermark ad test

After Giggs got the ball on the left, the more he moved forward, the more he fell into a single-choice situation.

He took the ball to the wing, close to Millwall's penalty area, and wanted to find a connection in the middle to cooperate. Although Pirlo's one-on-one defensive ability is average, but he has a high ball intelligence, he stands still and blocks the passing route of Giggs. The effect of cutting Manchester United's offensive formation was achieved. Giggs couldn't get in touch with the center, and the full-backs behind did not dare to press up to assist. The only option left for Giggs was to break through. Schneider and Giggs also competed. A few years, now I have a lot of experience. One-on-one contests have a certain defensive success rate. Even if he is broken, he will turn around to make up for the first time, and then Giggs will fall into the continuous interception of his teammates, and the position of his teammates , and Schneider quickly made up.

Even if Scholes leaned towards Giggs, he could only move on the periphery, and then the offense took another step back.

Aldridge gestured to the players from time to time on the sidelines to let the players notice the movement of Manchester United's offensive players.

Millwall's offense was relatively monotonous. Larson or Henry tore through Manchester United's defense on the wing with their personal abilities, but they did not create good opportunities in the final blow.

Aldrich was calm and relaxed.

It is expected that Manchester United's two full-backs dare not attack. Henry and Larson can suppress each other one-on-one. The city gate is dangerous.

What he cares more about is another man on the Manchester United field, captain Keane. This offensive and defensive midfielder.

As long as he moves, Klose will be completely released, even if the offensive line is 3 against 4, the success rate is still considerable.

Beckham kicked and returned to the winger position. otherwise. Manchester United really can't create any chances.

Manchester United flew on both wings, and almost all penetrating balls were blocked. Occasionally well-placed crosses were also steadily resolved by Millwall's defense.

Manchester United seemed to have kicked on an iron plate and could not shake Millwall's defense.

Pagliuca hits the ball out of the perimeter with a single punch,

Pirlo controls the landing. He passed the ball to Nedved, the Czech strode forward with the ball, and crossed the half-court unimpeded. Scholes chased back and seemed to be planning to foul. Nedved passed the ball first. Henry, Henry! Beautifully used the stop rhythm to pause and restart to wipe out Neville, and shot long-range in front of the penalty area! pity. The ball was hit a little straight, and Barthez stood still and held the ball in his arms.

Ferguson thought for a long time and still had no idea. Millwall was really determined to defend and counterattack. Manchester United really couldn't create any decent opportunities on the offensive end. If the cross could penetrate Millwall's defense, the Red Devils would have tortured the Lions to death.

Ferguson was still hesitating whether to fight for his life early, but Aldridge couldn't wait.

Keane has been slow to press up to support the offense, and Klose has been frozen, so he has been unable to make offensive changes for a long time, and he has been sticking to the side to blast his opponents. This really underestimates Manchester United.

To make the offense change, there must be space first, and Klose can't stand at the forefront and fall into a double-team situation.

Aldridge pointed at Klose, and then made a gesture of retreating. Klose took the initiative to retreat after seeing it, so that he could get the ball and deal with it.

Klose's position retreated, and Keane followed him up, so that his position was forward and he could support the offense as much as he could, and at the same time, defense also restricted Klose's performance.

Seeing that Keane moved forward following Klose's position, Aldridge couldn't help showing a sly smile.

This iron-blooded titan can't hold back anymore!

Keane was indeed anxious when he saw the lack of attack in the frontcourt. Playing against Millwall, the point-to-point point-to-point point-to-point point-to-point offense did not change at all. The offensive point that needs to be plugged in at the back disrupts the opponent's strict marking arrangement.

Keane didn't dare to give Klose the space to get the ball in front of the penalty area, so he could only follow him, restricting the interconnection between the Millwall tridents to generate unpredictable small-scale passing and cutting cooperation, which he did very effectively before. , But in turn, to suppress Klose, Keane's offensive support for Manchester United has also been relatively greatly weakened.

Well now, Klose's position is retreated, and Keane still keeps up. He doesn't need to stick to Klose like a dog's skin plaster. When Manchester United is attacking, he can go up to support in a controlled manner. The distance between the starting positions of Loser is not too far. He is sure that according to his own ability, it is no problem to keep up with the opponent, not to mention that when Manchester United is attacking, Klose has the task of retreating and harassing.

Ferguson hasn't figured out a proper countermeasure yet, but seeing the situation on the court, at first glance, it seems to be quite satisfactory. Keane's activities should be normal. Easy on the ball, it's a regular pick and makes sense.

But Ferguson just had an ominous premonition in his heart. From the perspective of the overall situation, Manchester United is passively following Millwall's personnel adjustments and making changes, which is tantamount to being led by the nose by the opponent.

In the 41st minute of the game, Scholes stopped and dribbled in front of Pirlo, but he didn't dare to take the ball forward. All the ball routes are blocked, Beckham, Giggs, double forwards, these four points can't find a gap in Millwall's six defenses, Scholes can either pass back to Base Well, either continue to dribble the ball and move forward, and you will bump into Nedved, the steel warrior.

In desperation, Scholes forced a long-range shot, hoping that this long-range shot would bring a goal.

This is a game where as long as you win, you will win the championship. The first goal is very important. As long as Manchester United scores the first goal, the situation of the game will be completely reversed!

Scholes shot from long distance, good angle, but not too tricky. Pagliuca was ready, flew to the right, picked the ball up with both hands, wow. It was a great save. Because he was not only Blocked the shot and completely hugged it with both hands!

Pagliuca's talent is definitely above Bout. It's just that Pagliuca has passed his peak, but his state has not plummeted, and he is still stable at the level of a quasi-first-class goalkeeper. Scholes' long-range shot with such a strong and good angle. Changing to a second-rate goalkeeper is estimated to be hanging, either to save the ball in a hurry to block the opponent's second attack, or to make a mistake in the first choice under panic, and Pagliuca can be scored by a tricky long shot, but in In a fully prepared and calm state, this kind of ball will definitely not be able to penetrate his ten fingers. He is a good goalkeeper who has practiced the basic skills of the goalkeeper to the extreme.

After a successful save, Pagliuca stood up quickly, and instantly turned into a vanguard general who charged forward, holding the ball and rushing forward.

His rush scared Manchester United.

The old guy. It's clearly going to launch a hand throw fast break!

Manchester United's offensive players reflexively ran back, but Pagliuca stopped at the penalty area line, then turned to the right, bent over and threw the ball out, and the ball rolled on the turf to Schneider's feet.

Because of Pagliuca's forward rush, Manchester United's offensive players retreated, which instead gave Millwall's back line a loose space to get the ball.

Schneider stopped the ball, adjusted, and looked ahead.

Manchester United's offensive players retreated, but before halftime, Klose was beckoning for the ball just past the center circle, and Keane was already standing behind Klose. This point, block him!

Schneider kicked an over-the-top long pass from under his feet. Keane became alert when he saw the trajectory of the ball flying out. He turned his head and looked, his face changed drastically!

Got fooled again!

He pushed out with Klose, yes, and indeed restricted Klose.

However, the space in Manchester United's midfielder area has vacated a large area.

In itself, there is a battlefield that belongs to Klose and Keane. Henry and Larson are both on the wing, and their intuitive threat is also to cut in from the wing and enter the penalty area.

However, Schneider's long pass hit the vacuum zone three meters in front of Manchester United's back line.

And what about Henry and Larson?

They gave up the sidewalk and came to this area at the same time!

It was only at this time that Keane suddenly realized that it was not he who came out to restrict Klose, but Klose took the initiative to bring him out to lure him into being fooled!

Schneider's long pass did not go to Henry, because the distance was longer, he went to Larson, who was relatively close.

Larson was one step ahead of Sylvester and Brown. He jumped high when he was grabbing the landing point, and directly headed the ball to Henry, who was in a parallel position to the left.

When Aldridge saw Larson's header ferrying the ball to Henry accurately, his eyes became wild, and his fists gradually clenched.

The offensive space created by sacrificing Klose is your battlefield!

Improvise!

Henry stopped the ball, rushed to the front of the penalty area in two steps, and his combination of man and ball was completely different from Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho relied on getting rid of the opponent's center of gravity. Towards.

Henry, either rely on the combination of man-ball and speed to overwhelm opponents, or rely on the rhythm of ball control. His dribbling is rarely fancy. At least, Aldridge has never seen him step on a bicycle.

Henry brought the ball to Stam and Neville, first took a step to the right, and then kicked back to the left. Stam and Neville couldn't help but stick up after two swings in their center of gravity. At the same time, Brown and Sylvie Ster also retracted and came to surround Henry.

Henry made his third lateral smash change of direction.

Right, left, and right, there are three short rhythm changes without any fancy visual sense, but the center of gravity of the Manchester United defenders is tilted in different degrees, the footsteps are messy, and the formation is also loose.

When Brown intercepted with his foot, Henry stopped and kicked the ball diagonally with his outside instep.

The ball passed obliquely between Brown and Stam. At the same time, Larson turned back and passed through the space between Brown and Sylvester. The pass ran for a moment. Larson and Sylvester were parallel, even He was slightly behind by half a body, but because Larson was running diagonally, Sylvester chased again, and the distance was even further.

At this point, there is only one way to stop Larson.

That's a foul!

But the location will be in the restricted area!

Stam, Brown, and Neville turned their heads to look in the direction of Henry's ball, and what caught their eyes was that Larson had already caught up with the ball.

This kick is extremely difficult. The ball shot from the outside of the instep hits the upper left corner of the goal with an arc from the outside. Barthez abandoned the goal and just ran two steps before he could only turn his head and look at the goal. The ball turned halfway along the net of the goal The ring just landed, and it was still spinning strongly when it landed on the turf.

After Larson scored a goal, he waved at Henry and ran towards the sidelines to celebrate. ()
