The Young Lion

It is a double-edged sword for a full-back to step forward to assist. If you use it well, you will be invincible, but if you use it, you will hurt yourself.

Lucas Neal was intercepted just after the middle circle, and Millwall's attack was stillborn when it was brewing. Turning around, Manchester United's counterattack was imminent!

Bart dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. He had a lot of space to dribble the ball, and he had enough time to observe the situation.

Giggs formed a pair with Thuram on the wing, offsetting each other. In fact, in the middle of the penalty area, it was a Manchester United three-on-two situation.

McClair seemed to be invisible for the first 30 minutes, but this time, he made a smart move to the left, making a posture of running in behind and waiting for a pass from his teammate, and Stam naturally followed closely Looking at him, Bart made a choice and dribbled the ball to the front right.

Cole also pulled out, leaning against Southgate behind him, Bart passed the ball to Cole, and then continued to run forward to the right, as if to make a two-for-one cooperation, Cole also decisively dialed the ball to Bart's front.

In desperation, Southgate had no choice but to turn around to block Butt. If he was allowed to pass the ball forward again, it would be a single shot, even if the shooting angle may not be too big.

But as soon as he moved, Bart cleverly knocked the ball back to Cole. At this time, Cole had turned around and Southgate lost his position, giving him enough space in front of him to move forward. , and at the same time made the adjustments, Andy Cole shot angrily!

The ball rolled into Millwall's goal like a fired shell against the turf, and Keller fell to the ground to make a save obviously a beat later.

Beautiful shot! One back for Manchester United! Andy Cole's calm shot lived up to his team-mate's effort, and the main credit should go to Nicky Butt, whose forward drive should have ripped Millwall apart. The defensive line, and the tacit cooperation with Cole created scoring opportunities for the latter, will Manchester United reverse? At least Millwall should be nervous.

Martin, should Millwall give up and let Neal go forward? If he hadn't gone up, Manchester United wouldn't have had this opportunity to counterattack. Obviously, if he made a mistake, or if he went up and participated in the attack and couldn't come back in time, Then Manchester United has a clear advantage in the counterattack, and Millwall's defensive line will have a large vertical space, which is a fatal loophole for a team like Manchester United that is good at attacking from the side.

I don't know, I don't know, Aldridge's team has surprised us, who knows what Millwall will do next, all we need to do is enjoy the game, I believe the next five More than ten minutes of the game will be more exciting.

Cole didn't celebrate after scoring a goal. He ran into the goal, held the ball in his arms and ran to the backcourt. The same was true for other Manchester United teammates. They had no intention of celebrating at all.

Only got one back, and it's still early for the carnival!

Ferguson looked better, while Aldridge looked calm.

It was indeed Neil's mistake that caused the team to concede the ball just now, but this is unavoidable.

There is no cost to the maturation of any tactic.

Therefore, Aldridge's transformation of the team is always cautious, and he never makes a drastic move, and the full-backs step forward to assist, and it is not enough to tell the players the tactical analysis to make the players perfect.

It takes experience, judging when to step up and assist, and the defensive position changes of teammates after the full-back goes forward is also very important.

In fact, the smart thing to do just now is that when Manchester United strengthens their defense on the right, Millwall should turn his offense to his own right, focusing on Manchester United's right,

In this way, even if you can't play the effect of the left, you can still exhaust Kean and Bart who are running back and forth vertically, and you can find the loopholes in the middle.

But the cautious Aldridge only focused on creating an offense on the left, because Pires' ability to cut inside is stronger than Schneider's, and his ability to score in the penalty area is also stronger. Threat, let Thuram and Schneider play the same cooperation on the right, I am afraid it will be unsatisfactory. There is no doubt about the assist ability of the winger, but it is difficult for a strong man to shape him into a modern winger who can directly deter the goal.

What's more, if the two sides give tactical instructions for inserting assists at the same time, it is difficult to guarantee that the offense will not be confused in the early stage. Tactic changes require a process of adaptation and adaptation.

Old Trafford applauded, encouraging the Red Devils to make persistent efforts.

Neil was a little frustrated, but he quickly raised his head and cheered up. He is also a tough guy, and there is nothing he can't let go of. If you make a mistake, you don't have to worry about it. The boss said in training that you should make bold assists. Go up, don't be afraid of mistakes.

Failure is the mother of success. It's no big deal for a young player to make a mistake.

With the previous conceded goals, Neil settled down on the wing, temporarily doing his defensive work, and keeping a close eye on Beckham. Although he is younger than Beckham, he is a tough player on the court. General, his kicking style is extremely aggressive, and his body is also extremely strong. He slammed into him and fought hard, Xiaobei really couldn't stand it.

The pace of the game was very fast from the first minute, not only because Millwall was speeding up the pace in offense, but also because they went all out in defense, forcing Manchester United players not to stick to the ball too much, otherwise they would Falling into the predicament of double-teaming and pressing.

After Manchester United's threat from the right was lifted, Keane and Nedved faced each other again, and the two confronted frequently in the midfield.

Nedved fell down, got up, fell down, got up, Keane hit Nedved but fell down accidentally, got up too, Keane got the ball, Nedved grabbed it, Keane En gets knocked over, gets up without hesitation, falls down, gets up, falls down, gets up...

The duo had the dirtiest jerseys, almost as if they had been in a wrestling match in the mud.

After frequent confrontations, Keane couldn't help looking at Nedved, who was taciturn and focused on the game, and thought to himself: Is this still a human?

Even though he is a butcher, he is also a strong man. If he knocks his opponent down and the opponent rolls around and pretends to be injured, he will spit out two mouthfuls of insults in disdain, and he is too lazy to despise the opponent. , he can directly shovel at the opponent's leg, and admit it openly: I just want to break your leg!

But when he met an opponent like Nedved who fell to the ground without saying a word and got up to continue fighting, Keane felt a sense of admiration in his heart.

Damn, I finally saw a real man.

Admiration is admiration, but the fierceness in the confrontation will not decrease!

Head-to-head, see who is tougher!

Because of the conservative side, Nedved was entangled by Keane in the middle, Pires and Schneider retreated to get the ball, and the effect was not ideal. At the end of the first half, Manchester United formed a frontcourt suppression. I am more familiar with this field, and the cooperation is more tacit, and I can better control the ball at my feet between three passes and two downs.

Butt passed the ball to Giggs, who was leaning towards the center. Giggs did not go to the left after taking the ball. Obviously, he did not have an advantage in fighting Thuram. Although he had the advantage of speed, Thuram defended The feature is that you don't open the distance, and you directly use your body to get in position first. Even if the ball passes by, the person has to stay.

So Giggs dribbled the ball to the middle, and passed the ball to Beckham, who was also walking in the middle, about 35 yards outside the penalty area. The two teammates from the class of 92 completed an exquisite cooperation. Beckham Facing the incoming ball, he chose to pick a pass without hesitation, and the ball flew lightly into Millwall's penalty area.

Who is the ball passed to?

Stam wanted to clear the ball with a header, but he was blocked by McClair next to him, and the opponent grabbed his jersey, forced to take off but missed the ball because he couldn't jump the highest, and the ball was ten centimeters above his head The distance flew towards the diagonal rear.

After Giggs passed the ball, he quickly entered the penalty area. The speed was extremely fast. Thuram assisted the defense and entered the penalty area to kill from the side. Giggs just stopped the ball with his chest. Before the ball landed, he fell heavily in the penalty area , and Thuram kicked the ball out of the penalty area from beside his body.

Unexpectedly, the referee Paul Dugin stopped the game at this time and pointed to the penalty spot.

Thuram held his head in disbelief and innocently complained to the referee.

Penalty! Dugin awarded a penalty and Manchester United had a chance to equalize in stoppage time in the first half! It can be seen in the slow motion replay that Thuram knocked Giggs from the side and rear. This There was no dispute about the penalty.

Aldridge appealed to the fourth official on the sidelines.

Hey, Keane knocked down my players once or twice in the middle of the midfield. The referee didn't blow it once. I won't say anything. This is the standard of the Premier League, but he-fuck my defender is fighting for the ball. What was Manchester United's striker doing? He didn't take off, but interfered with my player's takeoff, obviously pulling the jersey! Isn't that a foul? The referee should have awarded McClair for a foul in the penalty area, which was our free kick. Not the penalty that happened later!

Aldridge complained to the fourth official with one hand on his hip and waving the other, but the other party showed no expression and seemed not to even listen.

The Millwall players are also arguing with the referee Duggin. It is obvious that Stam was disturbed when he took off. McClair's action is not concealed. If there is no interference, Stam can easily clear the ball with a header. .

Du Jin shook his head, ignored everyone's complaints, and made a go away gesture.

Southgate persuaded his teammates to leave, and then he had a calm conversation with the referee alone, but the referee Dugin just shook his head, and finally showed Southgate a yellow card.

Seeing this scene from the sidelines, Aldridge yelled at the fourth official angrily, Is this a fascist dictatorship? Didn't you even give me a word?

Mr. Hall, please pay attention to the words, I will write all this in the game report.

You'd better write it down without saying a word! I will write it too, you fucking give Manchester United a penalty!

Aldridge sneered, turned around and left, he had already seen the referee running towards him.

Dugin warned Aldridge, and Aldridge kept a cold face without saying a word amidst the laughter of the Manchester United fans.

Melanie in the stands, like the Millwall fans, tried her best to boo the referee Dugin, and then she pursed her lips, thinking that Aldridge was a bit distressing at the moment, but felt that he was more like a real Man, because he is standing on the sidelines with his back straight!

Cole, who took the penalty kick, made it overnight, and then the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

After 45 minutes, Manchester United brought the game back to the starting point!
