The league started for a month, and after five rounds, Manchester United trailed Millwall by 9 points.
Manchester United's chances of competing for the league title in the new season have dropped to freezing point.
As the Manchester media statistics analyzed: In all the seasons when Millwall led Manchester United by 9 points, Manchester United has never successfully come back.
Although the new season has only been played for a month and there are more than 30 Premier League games left, there are unlimited possibilities in the future. However, many fans feel that the media's statistical analysis is very reasonable.
Because United look to have a lot of unanswered questions.
However, if Millwall is defeated at home today, the points gap between the two sides can be reduced to 6 points. This is a gap that rekindles confidence.
As a result, fans full of expectations came to the stadium to watch the game. After the start, Millwall's aggressive attack seemed like a bucket of cold water poured on the fans' heads.
In addition to regretting that the team failed to seize several good opportunities, Aldridge also showed worry in his eyes.
In these attacks, Millwall had a player who was not activated.
who?
Kaka!
Keane is a top midfielder, and his defense follows him everywhere. At the same time, he is extremely aggressive in physical confrontation. Kaká cannot find a chance in the offense. Keane's half-goal opportunities are repeatedly forced by Keane's body, causing the competition to fail.
If Kaka can exert his power, Kaka can find good opportunities to contribute to the team in those opportunities at Millwall.
In the final analysis, it is a matter of experience. Kaká still has room for improvement. As for whether Keane has entered his old age, that is not what Aldrich cares about. Because there will be other top midfielders born in the same generation. The top ones will definitely join the rich.
Kaka must also face it.
Just when Manchester United fans were on tenterhooks, Manchester United played an exciting attack.
Since Kaka was frozen by Keane in this game, Alonso's assists and forward pressure became larger. When Manchester United counterattacked in the 28th minute of the game, Alonso lost track of Scholes when he returned to defense.
Giggs went down the left wing and passed the inverted triangle route. Scholes followed up and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area!
Bute pounced on the ball, but missed it!
The ball bounced in the penalty area and was shot into the net by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Thiago Silva looked pale. At the moment when Scholes shot from a long distance, he lost track of Ruud van Nistelrooy because he was distracted to pay attention to the result of Scholes' shot.
It was during that distracted moment that Ruud van Nistelrooy made a quick move in the small penalty area and scored with a complementary shot.
"Manchester United has scored! Manchester United, which was suppressed after the opening, sent the ball into Millwall's goal through a counterattack. Butt made a save and missed, and Ruud van Nistelrooy shot a supplementary shot. In this defense, Millwall's defender did not stick close to him
Van Nistelrooy and Silva are still young and inexperienced. If you relax your guarding on Van Nistelrooy, you will definitely be punished!"
Aldridge made a unique gesture toward Thiago Silva.
Thiago Silva's expression improved a lot after seeing it.
Aldrich once told him what defenders and defensive players need to go through when they grow up. Making mistakes is a necessary process, and there is no need to feel bad about it.
That gesture reminded him not to pay attention.
Silva's face turned fierce. He didn't want to care, but he had to care. However, before it was self-blame, but now it's a fighting spirit. He didn't want to live up to Aldrich's expectations and dedication to him.
Being able to play the main role in a wealthy club with the best record in the world in recent years will definitely attract much attention. I don’t know how many people in the outside world are envious of it. Neither the person involved nor others can understand how heavy this trust is. Silva is not Ness.
He came to Millwall with a world-class reputation like that, but he was just a wild boy, a wild boy who almost didn't play football!
When the outside world describes his career trajectory, they almost always use descriptions such as "get rich overnight" or "fly on a branch and become a phoenix", mostly in a mocking and derogatory tone.
Silva doesn't care about outside opinions, he only cares about how his head coach treats him.
In the past, I hoped that the boss would not give up on him.
Now, I hope that I will not disappoint my boss’s trust!
Millwall's long-term confidence will not allow them to lose ground when conceding the first goal.
The situation on the field was almost the same as before the score changed.
Ronaldinho also saw that Kaká was beaten to death by Keane today, so Ronaldinho took the initiative to take advantage of this in his offensive routine.
He had a brief exchange with Kaka.
The meaning is clear, if you cannot exert a threat with the ball, then use the threat without the ball to serve the team.
Kaka understands it well. He does not perform well when receiving the ball and attacking with the ball. Keane is a tough guy who is not soft-hearted. Not to mention a tackle or a bump, it seems like he has been punched.
If Kaka hadn't strengthened his body in recent years at Millwall, he might have been knocked away. What troubled Kaka the most was that Keane was both rough and fine, and his defensive skills, movements and awareness were top-notch, which made him very
Uncomfortable.
In the 41st minute, Ronaldinho did not continue to attack on the wing after getting the ball on the left side of the front court. He suddenly cut inside and walked to the center. At the same time, Kaká ran directly to the forward line. Keane hesitated and chose to retreat to follow.
Kaká was afraid that Kaká would be like Pavel Nedvěd in the past.
Keane withdrew, and Scholes came to press Ronaldinho. The latter played a one-two with Alonso, then came to the center of the penalty area and sent a hidden through ball.
Villa ran diagonally past Ferdinand and poked the ball forward when he touched it.
Sylvester hurriedly intercepted and kicked Villa down!
If Villa is allowed to pass, it will be a semi-single move!
When Villa fell in the penalty area, the referee blew his whistle to interrupt the game and pointed at the penalty spot in the Manchester United penalty area!
Ferguson showed dissatisfaction and rushed out of the coaching bench to protest to the fourth official, but this could not change the referee's decision.
Aldridge tilted his head slightly and looked at Manchester United's penalty area. Ever since he led the England team to win the World Cup, Millwall has rarely complained about the referee's decisions in England. It's not like the referee takes care of them. Business is business.
That's it. But if there is any tendency, it is that in the Millwall game, the penalty scale will be stricter than the normal standard.
Fans joke that there are two types of Premier League games: one is a Premier League game with fierce confrontation and loose penalties, and the other is a Millwall game where the referee is very aware of the situation.
Any team that commits rough fouls will almost always end up with players on the team receiving yellow cards when encountering Millwall, and not a few players will be sent off with red cards.
The Premier League's penalty standards are lax. Everyone knows this.
In games involving only Millwall, the referees will be very strict in their enforcement.
Ferguson coached in England six or seven years before Aldridge, and he established his prestige earlier.
However, in the past ten years, Aldridge's accumulated prestige and contribution to England have opened up a clear gap between the two in the "invisible energy" of English football.
Penalty kick.
The penalty kicker sent by Millwall was Ronaldinho.
Facing goalkeeper Carroll, Ronaldinho was not affected by the noise made by the home fans at all. He swung his legs and made a fake movement when shooting, making goalkeeper Carroll mistakenly think that Ronaldinho would kick the ball in his usual direction.
His right-footed shot usually hits the left side of the goal. However, Ronaldinho easily pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal. The ball speed was not fast, which showed that he was calm and calm when shooting.
"Ronaldinho scored a penalty kick to equalize the score for Millwall! Manchester United failed to take the lead into the dressing room."
At the end of the first half, the score was 1:1.
Aldridge mused on the way back to the locker room.
He made a mistake in arranging the starting lineup today.
Kaka.
It’s not that Kaka can’t play, but that under ideal conditions before the game, he hopes that Kaka can hone his ability to withstand pressure by starting the game. Looking at it now, maybe Nedvěd will be allowed to start and consume Keane in the confrontation. In the second half, he will be full of energy.
Kaka's impact will be stronger if he plays again.
In fact, either Nedved or Kaka can start, but based on the idea of stabilizing the new main force, Kaká is Millwall's future. Let Nedved consume it and Kaká break out, which may be detrimental to Kaká.
Growth is better.
In the second half, Manchester United used active fighting and tenacious defense to protect the goal.
In the 60th minute of the game, Aldrich replaced Kaká and let Nedved play.
Nedved also needs a short period of time to get into game shape.
In the 64th minute, Ronaldinho made a 45-degree cross from the wing. Nedvěd broke into the penalty area and beat Sylvester with a header. Unfortunately, the ball went too high.
Aldridge looked indifferent on the sidelines. He wanted to win this game, even if it was a guest at Old Trafford, he would win it!
After another 3 minutes, he made his second substitution, De Rossi went off and Larsson came on!
Millwall's formation is similar to 4-4-2, but not quite, they are extremely committed to attack!
Ferguson's pupils shrank, he didn't expect Aldrich to act out of common sense and be so eager to win!
Although Aldrich's posture on the sidelines looked calm and unconcerned.
Manchester United's attack in the middle was unable to connect, so he removed a defensive midfielder and gambled with the opponent.
After Larsson came on the field, he played a double center with Villa. Cristiano Ronaldo was also a winger, but Ronaldinho's position retreated slightly and became a wing midfielder, parallel to Nedved behind the striker.
Manchester United launched a threatening offensive in the 73rd minute, but Rooney was successfully intercepted by Nesta when he was preparing to shoot in the penalty area.
There were sighs in the stands, and Manchester United fans felt extremely sorry.
Millwall's offense is more aggressive and there are more players on the front line.
In the 82nd minute, Ronaldo made a pass from the right wing. He did not pass the ball in front of the goal, but at the top of the arc outside the penalty area.
The strong pressure from Larsson and Villa made the Manchester United defenders dare not push forward rashly. Ronaldo passed the ball back, and Keane was a beat too slow. He was too focused on Nedvěd and missed the ball's landing point. Nedvěd
He didn't touch the ball. Scholes was shaken by Keane. He thought Keane would clear the ball at the landing point, but Keane didn't!
After the ball bounced off the top of the penalty area, it flew one meter in front of Scholes and immediately flew back.
Ronaldinho did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball to the forward Nedved. After Keane missed the landing point, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the ball and lost Nedved.
Nedvěd did not stop the ball in the penalty area and directly swung his legs to volley!
boom!
Carroll was helpless, and the ball grazed Ferdinand's head and went into the upper left corner of the goal!
