The Young Lion

Ferguson self-denied Manchester United's attempt to transform this season. No matter how he explained the fact that Veron was replaced at halftime, this fact cannot be changed. In domestic competitions, four league games and one cup game have lost five consecutive games. Manchester United is unbeaten in 6 rounds in all competitions. After this 1:7 massacre at home, what is left to Manchester United is a torrent.

When Aldridge was interviewed after the game, the reporter said something like this.

Before the game, no one was optimistic that Manchester United would win. Millwall won an expected victory, but can you imagine that it will be a 7:1 big victory?

Aldridge did not answer the question instead: Since Millwall and Manchester United met at Manchester United's home court, the outside world is generally optimistic about Millwall, so how big is the gap between Manchester United and Millwall?

This, Millwall is recognized as the strongest team in Europe, Manchester United, is in a difficult situation now.

Let me answer your previous question. In the past, Millwall vs. Manchester United would be the top contest. Now, as most people subconsciously think, Manchester United is not Millwall's opponent. So, we win Manchester United, Of course, as for how many wins, it is not very important, of course, no one can predict the score of 7:1, the specific replay of the game is left to the ball critics.

After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave. The reporter quickly asked loudly: Mr. Hall, what do you think is the reason why the gap between Millwall and Manchester United is so huge?

Because Millwall has brought all the potential out of the main team, we've been improving over the last few years, we've been improving. Manchester United. They're just standing still. Even regressing.

So you think Millwall is perfect?

Of course not, there is no perfect team, but the biggest problem we have now is: England, why is there no team that can challenge us? Going up, Millwall could go down because of a lack of worthy opponents, if that happens. I can only say it's a big conspiracy.

conspiracy?

Yes, they didn't stimulate the king with the correct and positive attitude of challengers. On the contrary, they used a negative and weak way to kill our fighting spirit, and then after our mental fatigue affected the state of strength, we became incompatible with them. When the levels are the same, try to challenge our supremacy.

Aldrich turned and left.

The next day, the Sun intercepted the game screen. The moment when Aldrich and Ferguson spread their hands and talked not far away.

The accompanying text is a sentence in front of Aldrich.

Why? Why can no one challenge Millwall's supremacy? Is this your conspiracy?

David Miller wrote in the column: As Hall said after the game, if the Premier League teams cannot improve their strength. Putting pressure on Millwall, now the strongest Millwall in Europe, may indeed affect its strength due to the decline in fighting spirit. This is not Hall's unfounded worry. A super strong team needs to challenge and maintain its combat effectiveness through difficult battles But look at the current standings, Millwall has 13 wins and 3 draws, accumulating 42 points, Manchester United are 18 points behind them, Arsenal will be a guest at the Lion King Stadium in the next round, they have won 16 rounds With a record of 8 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, only 29 points, 13 points away from Millwall, with such a huge lead, Millwall can't feel the pressure from competitors at all, or in other words, Millwall has competition Opponent? According to their current scoring momentum, Millwall is likely to refresh the Premier League points record again this season. If this is true, I can boldly predict that even if Millwall retains the main lineup next summer, they will be in the league. There will definitely be a significant decline in their performance, because they don't need to score 100 points to win the championship. As long as they score 90 or 85 points, they may be able to securely win the league championship. But if this is the case, Millwall will still be Is it so strong now?

In the final round of the first group stage of the Champions League, Millwall played against Porto at home.

Before the game, there was pressure from the Italian media, worried that Millwall would release Juventus. Aldridge rarely lost his temper at the pre-match press conference.

Faced with making things difficult for the Italian journalists, Aldridge was furious and charged the crime.

If you don't know how to respect a team, don't come to London to embarrass yourself! I don't need you to remind me what kind of team Millwall is, and it should maintain the dignity of the giants at home! My job is not yours. Tell me what to do! The whole world knows what kind of tricks you are playing. If Juventus is finally eliminated, it is their own fault. The Champions League is a stage for the strong, not a place to pray for mercy and sympathy. Whether Juventus will be eliminated or advanced, Have nothing to do with us, don't you feel ashamed? The Serie A giants have been reduced to the point where the Premier League giants control their destiny?

After Aldridge finished speaking, he walked away with a cold face. The Italian reporter dared not speak out, and the mocking and mocking laughter of Fleet Street reporters was heard at the scene.

Millwall has won all 5 games. It is the first team to qualify early in all groups, and also the first team to secure the top spot in the group. Naturally, they will not be the main force in the last round of routine. This is the reason to put pressure on Millwall.

It's ridiculous to say that in the last round against Juventus, Millwall was on the bench, and the Italian media didn't say anything before the game. Instead, this round accused Millwall of disrespecting Porto.

I am afraid that Porto can't wait for Millwall to simply not come on the bench, and forget about going to the youth team!

At the Lion King Stadium, Aldridge dispatched a full bench lineup, the formation is 4231, Porto is eager to get points to advance to the top 16, if Juventus has a draw, Porto can also advance to a draw, so after the game starts, Porto is facing Millwall in a defensive posture.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines directing the game. He didn't know that a future Porto coach was sitting in the stands of today's game. Magic Bird Mourinho.

Mourinho came here to watch the game with the Porto manager.

After Benfica was sacked. the past six months. Mourinho coached Liana, a middle and lower team in the Portuguese Super League, and his record was almost the same as when he coached Benfica. However, because he coached a small team, his coaching performance was much better. The reason why Mourinho's agent Mendes is behind the scenes.

Mourinho carefully observed Millwall's technical and tactical play on the court, as well as Aldridge's every move on the sidelines.

Since his time as an assistant coach in Barcelona, ​​he has studied football tactics in his spare time. A large number of work and research cases come from Millwall, especially Aldridge's on-the-spot adjustments when the game situation changes, which are the key points of his careful research.

Aldridge is now a recognized tactical master in football, with 433 for oppressive offense, 4231 for defense, and 4321 built in England, making Aldridge famous in the coaching circle.

He is not a firm seeker of a tactical style. According to external analysis, it is his flexible and changeable style that ensures Millwall can cope with different game environments. In the event of unexpected difficulties and other unfavorable situations, you can die and become auspicious and turn bad luck into good fortune.

After all, it is difficult to say that there is absolute restraint in football tactics, but targeted restrictions will happen. Persevering in one style sounds commendable, but it may not be able to create unparalleled brilliance in the world.

Porto's lineup is not bad, the first-class downstream level, especially their players have potential, and they can improve the team's strength by half a gear as long as they grow up.

In today's game, Porto seemed a little hesitant. While treating the game conservatively, he was concerned about the situation of Juventus.

Their calculations are more pragmatic, Juventus does not lead, they do not take the initiative.

It's a little risky, what if Juventus score in the 90th minute?

They can't control that much, don't look at Millwall as a substitute, now they are playing away, isn't Juventus still a substitute against Millwall in the last round? The results of it?

Thinking so, the game did not develop according to the script they envisioned.

In the 31st minute, Lamor moved from the left to the center, took the ball and sent a through kick under the cover of Kaka, penetrating the back waistline and cutting the ribs of the center back and full back in the penalty area on the other side. , Villa rushed behind the opponent's central defender, and after getting the ball, he pushed and shot to hit the dead corner at the far end of the goal.

Millwall leads 1-0 at home, thanks to the teenager Villa. Lamour's wonderful pass is amazing, and his game reading ability is the best among the substitute players.

Aldridge was filled with emotion when he saw Lamore's pass.

The biggest advantage of this Liverpool abandoner is the ability to read the game, coupled with the technical skills trained in Liverpool's youth training system, the confrontation is indeed weak, so Aldridge no longer uses Lamour as a striker. Instead, let him play a role similar to Ronaldinho, delivering shells to the striker.

As for the wonderful pass just now, Kaka can't pass it now, and it is also related to the degree of tacit understanding. After all, Lamour, Klose and Villa have played together for a long time.

It is with Larmore, Pedretti, Neil and other powerful substitute roles that Millwall's overall strength is particularly strong.

Seeing the goal lost, Porto didn't care about what was going on with Juventus, so they opened up their positions and fought hard with Millwall.

Aldridge let the formation recede after the team scored a goal.

In the next game, Millwall repeatedly staged a whirlwind.

Villa, Klose, Kaka, Larmor, these are all players who need speed and speed, and players who need to start explosive and explosive.

Porto conceded another goal before the end of the first half, and it was Lamor who dribbled the ball from the left and then suddenly shifted the attack. Villa did not seek credit after entering the penalty area and gave Klose an assist.

Porto kicked more and more impatiently, and his movements became bigger.

After the opponent's mentality problems, Millwall scored one goal after another. In the second half, Kaka and Klose scored another goal. Millwall beat Porto 4:0 and blocked Porto from the top 16. , Juventus won the Celtics at home, accumulating 9 points and qualifying hand in hand with Millwall.

But the victory of this game made Aldridge unhappy.

Porto's extremely aggressive foul in the second half resulted in Lamor and Villa being injured.

If the technical and tactical style of play is not changed, Klose is the only substitute striker that Millwall's first team can use. (to be continued...) ()
