The new season of Community Shield competition is about to begin.
Premier League champions Millwall compete with FA Cup champions Manchester United.
There was a clear contrast between red and blue in the stands. On the court, Aldridge walked into the court and gently shook hands with Ferguson before the game. The two did not communicate with each other.
Fleet Street did not list Manchester United as the favorite to compete for the Premier League in the new season because Manchester United was too far away from Arsenal and Millwall last season.
Millwall is still the first favorite to win the Premier League, second is Chelsea, third is Manchester United, and fourth is Arsenal.
Arsenal's decline stems from the departure of three main players, Vieira, Ibrahimovic, and Van Bronckhorst. They fell into the same predicament as Millwall. The difference is that the outside world's expectations for Wenger are not high.
Ferguson also understood that the huge gap between him and the league champion last season was not enough to close the gap with just one summer of signings and construction. Although last season's performance was affected by the unexpected factor of Ferdinand's eight-month suspension, however, with the
With the arrival of the new season, the aging of Manchester United's lineup and players in key positions cannot be ignored. For example, Keane in the midfielder position is 33 years old.
In terms of the team's goal positioning for the new season, Manchester United and Millwall are no longer on the same level.
The starting players from both sides of this game lined up to enter the field with their heads held high.
"Welcome to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Today we will enjoy the championship battle between Millwall, the Premier League champion last season, and Manchester United, the FA Cup champion last season. Although the Community Shield is a semi-warm-up match, both sides are sure
We will hope to get a victory to build confidence and momentum for the start of the new season.
Millwall sent Grenciar, who returned from summer transfer, in today's starting lineup. According to Millwall star Ronaldinho talked about Grenciar in an interview. He praised Grenciar.
With their strength and synchronicity with their playing rhythm and thinking, they have no problem cooperating.
Manchester United sent new aid Rooney and defender Heinze today. It seems that the coaches of both sides hope to use today's game to check the team's status and use new aid boldly.
Millwall started 433.
Goalkeeper: But.
Defenders: Ramos, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Lahm.
Midfielder: De Rossi, Alonso, Nedved.
Forwards: Glenjar, Villa, Ronaldinho.
Manchester United started 442.
Goalkeeper: Howard.
Defenders: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.
Midfielder: Joaquin, Phil Neville, Fletcher Giggs.
Forward: Rooney, Ruud Ruud.
Okay. The two sides are ready to kick off, and Millwall, wearing the traditional dark blue jersey, takes the lead in attacking from left to right."
Aldridge stood in front of the coaching bench on the sidelines. On the bench, sat Ronaldo, Kaká, Schneider and other players. Most of them had heavy workloads in the summer and were traveling back and forth. For example, Ronaldo returned from the Olympic men's football team.
, Kaka played the entire America's Cup, and it ended late, so they were asked to sit on the bench for the Community Shield.
After taking a full family photo yesterday, Aldridge had a long talk with Nedved. The veteran Nedved understands the righteousness and hopes to support the younger generation at the end of his career so that Millwall can be perfect in the construction of a new generation.
transition.
Today he will start the game, but when the Premier League starts, he will be on the bench. If Kaká, Alonso, Ronaldinho and others are not in good condition or injured, he must immediately step in.
Manchester United's thinking today is very clear. Ferguson does not want midfield pillars such as Keane and Scholes to be overused in the Community Shield, because they will be a guest at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League opener.
Therefore, Phil Neville and Fletcher played as a double midfielder, defending in the middle, and the offense was still based on the traditional two-wing attack.
At the beginning, Millwall controlled the tempo on the court and slowly entered the game.
In the 11th minute, Giggs broke through the teenager Ramos from the wing and passed the shadow forward to Rooney. Nesta grabbed the ball before Rooney and cleared the ball. Behind Giggs, Grenchar was on the midfield side.
Now that he has the ball, he is more skilled than when he left Millwall, has accumulated more experience, and his technical ability has reached the culmination of his own abilities.
The familiar figure of the fast horse on the wing once again caught the eyes of the Lions fans.
Countless Lions fans in the stands were shouting passionately, and they saw Glenchard start to explode and drive the ball forward in a single stroke, as if driving the entire stadium forward. This is an ultimate feeling of speed on the stadium, unparalleled.
The frizzy Heinze rushed over and made a sliding tackle, but Grenchar easily dodged it because he was faster!
Ferguson was furious at Heinze's thoughtless defensive choices on the sidelines.
Without the defense of the full-back, Grenchar was not in a hurry to play the ball. He dribbled the ball inside on the right wing, attacked deep in the penalty area, and then controlled the ball, forcing Sylvester to come over and defend him head-on. At the right time,
After arriving, he knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area. Nedved rushed up to touch the ball before Phil Neville. The old and strong Nedved keenly observed that Fernandez
Dinand intended to cover the forward space in front of him. Nedvěd sent a kick from behind. Villa, who started up and down almost at the same time as Ferdinand, successfully countered the offside and kicked the ball directly in the right hinterland of the penalty area.
The ball rolled into the Manchester United goal without any surprise. Howard's reaction was obviously slow. The American goalkeeper didn't seem to be in good condition and was slightly sluggish.
"The goal has been scored! Just ten minutes after the game, Millwall scored! Glenchard launched a frontcourt offensive from the right wing, moved to the center and then handed over to Nedvěd to send a fatal through ball. Manchester United's new aid Hein
Heinze made an unforgivable mistake. He rashly left the defense zone to make a tackle. Once the defender made the tackle, it was a matter of success or failure! Judging from Ferguson's expression, he was very dissatisfied with Heinze's performance.
"
Ferguson also felt like he had seen a ghost!
German football disclosed the transaction between Millwall and Bayern Munich. Lahm's position in Bayern Munich was actually very embarrassing. Bayern's top management was hesitant to give Lahm a new contract. They thought they were taking the opportunity to use Lahm.
Paying cash to knock Millwall away. As a result, one of the main full-backs of the German national team was let go...
And Heinze's transfer fee was not low. 7 million pounds. This guy made such a huge mistake right from the start. Ferguson even wondered if he had entered the age where his eyesight is dim.
Villa didn't celebrate with much excitement after scoring, it was just for the Community Shield, and the main purpose was to warm up. After scoring, he went to hug Nedvěd, and Nedvěd pointed at Grenjaer, who had a big smile on his face.
He ran over with a smile and high-fived his teammates.
Manchester United today is the same as in the past. They rely on side attacks as their main method, but there is less support from the center than in the past.
The combination of wing and center is an essential offensive method for both wings to fly together. The days of relying solely on crosses from the wing to find high forwards in the penalty area are long gone.
Without Scholes, Fletcher wanted to take over in the middle, but was blocked and found it difficult to do anything. Rooney had just joined Manchester United and had not yet fully integrated into the team's rhythm, and there was no tacit understanding of passing and running.
Even so, Manchester United still has threats from wing attacks.
Almost every time Giggs makes a breakthrough on the left wing, he is training the young Spanish teenager Ramos. Ramos will also have the shortcoming of being defensive. Giggs passed him 5 times and succeeded 4 times. This is simply
An unimaginable statistic, because it means that Ramos' point-to-point defense of Giggs is in vain!
Aldridge is not angry. Ramos is still young. It is normal for young people to make mistakes on the court and be exposed for their lack of ability. The key is not to bow their heads and accept fate and have a negative attitude.
On the other side, Joaquin's offense and defense against Lahm are 50-50. Lahm has no innate physical advantage, so his defense pays more attention to consciousness and team distance, which means that he allows the team to cover up his own attacks as much as possible.
The disadvantage is that his teammates can complement him, but Silva is still young. On this side, if it is the original main force Southgate, it can be said that the cooperation with Ram will be absolutely seamless.
Manchester United lacks the support point in the center to combine the wings and the center. They only rely on crosses from the wings, which is a bit like a lucky break. However, this is Manchester United's style.
Extremely simple.
There is probably no other coach in the world who can make wing offense as simple and efficient as Ferguson.
When people look at Manchester United's wing attack, they rarely marvel at how pleasing their coordination is.
The wide wing tears up the opponent's defensive line, crosses, receives, shoots, and scores.
The routine always looks simple, but it always makes the opponent taste the bitter pill of conceding the ball.
This reminded Aldridge of a conversation he and Ferguson had in each other's office after their first match.
In that conversation, Aldridge said that his philosophy of building the team is to follow the Laconia mentality.
Simplicity has the greatest fertility and imagination.
Looking at European football after ten years of coaching, Aldrich found that many successful teams are actually following this principle.
Manchester United is like this, Millwall is like this, even M's Chelsea and Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have not yet made their debut.
There is no need to go into details about the simplicity of anti-counterattack. In the future, Barcelona’s tiki-taka will not only be based on a very simple foundation, ball control and passing, but the simplest, 10-year-old children who receive football training will develop it on the basis of practice.
To the extreme, it can naturally breed extremely rich content.
Ramos was overwhelmed by Giggs at the beginning, so Aldridge asked the team to develop the offense from the left, allowing the left to create significant pressure on Manchester United, and let Ramos take a break first, and then wait.
After he recovers, give Ramos a signal to move up and join the attack.
Ramos himself had concerns, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back after assisting, but under Aldridge's encouraging eyes, he rushed forward without hesitation.
No matter how Manchester United plays, the offense must develop back to the center. When Fletcher and Phil Neville lack support in the frontcourt, De Rossi automatically retreats into the penalty area to make up for the lack of defenders in assisting the full-backs.
of flaws.
So at any time, unless Millwall is suppressed by the opponent, the defense is basically a single midfielder. Either De Rossi retreats to fill the back line, or he is still a midfielder, and Alonso acts as a central midfielder, not completely dead.
Stand in the lower back position.
Gary Neville couldn't withstand Ronaldinho's pressure. When Lahm came up with an assist, he was even worse than Ramos.
There is one advantage of Lahm that Aldridge appreciates the most, and that is his calmness when handling the ball. He never blindly plays the ball. Like many wing players who will send meaningless crosses from the wing, Lahm basically
I don't see anything like this.
Lahm, Ronaldinho, Nedvěd, and Villa, the four of them made continuous passes in the left half of the offensive end, which made the Manchester United defenders dizzy and inadvertently exposed the defensive space.
The ball came to Ronaldinho's feet, and he made the choice to attack faster.
First, he stopped the ball when receiving a pass from Nedvěd, then went straight forward and made a Marseille spin to pass Phil Neville. When Fletcher rushed over diagonally to steal the ball, he gently picked the ball forward, and he
Then he dodged Fletcher's press and regained control of the ball, a series of pleasing things to watch.
His movements were completed in one go, he came to the back line, and then cooperated with Villa in a one-two. He went directly into the penalty area and formed a one-handed ball. When Howard abandoned the goal and rushed towards him, Ronaldinho calmly pushed the shot.
, driving the ball from between Howard's legs into Manchester United's goal.
The big and small doors were exploded together! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
