----------
In the first half of this season, Newcastle United's performance was magical, but in the second half of the league, Hollywood on the Tyne seemed to start producing bad movies again and again.
Newcastle United were ahead of Manchester United by ten points from half-way to the penultimate round of the league, with only three points left. Once this three-point advantage disappears, they will immediately be overtaken by Manchester United, because in terms of goal difference, theirs
The disadvantages are very obvious.
Aldridge led his team to visit St. James' Park. The Magpies fans looked a little anxious in the stands. They hoped that the team could win this strong dialogue, because the lineup sent by Millwall was not particularly strong.
However, in the first half of the league, Millwall relied on a semi-main lineup to score two goals against the visiting Newcastle United.
The state of Newcastle United is worrying. They lost to Manchester United in March and Liverpool in April. The ups and downs in their state are not reassuring.
There is a trend that experts have concluded through analysis: whenever Newcastle United's performance seems to be stabilizing, they will lose in the strong dialogue, suppressing their high morale.
If they can defeat Manchester United or Liverpool, I'm afraid they can directly win the championship in advance, because the continuity of state and the impact on morale will have completely different effects.
After Aldridge entered the field, he sat on the coach's bench and waited quietly for the game to start.
Kevin Keegan came over to greet him like a landlord, and chatted with him about the FA Cup final early next month with a hidden smile.
Talking about how difficult it is to deal with Liverpool.
He seemed to be cheering for his old club, but in fact he reminded Aldridge to stop competing for the championship. Go compete for the FA Cup.
Aldrich made peace with him, smiled and exchanged a few words. After the other party had nothing to say, the two separated.
"What's there to talk about with him?"
Jenson whispered with some contempt.
Aldrich said helplessly: "I don't want to say anything to him either."
When players from both sides took the field, Millwall's lineup was obviously very young, while Newcastle United's lineup had changed significantly compared to the first half of the league.
"Welcome to St. James' Park. My name is Martin Taylor. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that today's 37th match of the Premier League will decide the championship. If Newcastle United defeats Millwall,
Then Keegan's team is likely to win the championship early, even if Manchester United wins
The ball, at least the initiative is still in the hands of Newcastle United. As for Millwall, it is a pity that this was a season in which they performed stably and well, but they lost the initiative to compete for the championship at the last moment. The following is from me
My partner Andy Gray is here to introduce the starting lineups for both sides."
"Keegan realized that the team's defense had problems, so he brought David Batty from Blackburn in the winter. This fierce defensive midfielder can enhance the hardness and interception ability of Newcastle United's defense. On the forward line,
Keegan also found a reliable partner for Ferdinand.
Asprilla ended AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak. Newcastle United's starting lineup today is 442 in midfield, goalkeeper: Srnisek. Defenders: Watson, Barton, Alber
Forwards: Ferdinand, Asprilla. Millwall’s side today are all substitutes. Audiences who hope to see a star showdown may be disappointed. In the Lions’ lineup, we can hardly find anyone who is particularly familiar.
Figure. They played a 433 formation today. Goalkeeper: Bute. Defender
Chenco. I don’t know if Hall will use the defensive counterattack that defeated the enemy in the last match today. Let’s wait and see.”
Aldridge is relatively relaxed today. He just wants to train the team and play his own style.
Kevin Keegan, on the other hand, was very nervous. He was just trying to be calm on the surface.
In his opinion, Millwall is engaged in defensive counterattacks at home with half of its main players, so when it comes to the away game without its main players, it will definitely shrink in defense.
Therefore, he did not use the 4141 formation from the last confrontation, but used 442, which was not too radical. The focus was to let the two wingers, Beardsley and Ginola, create more opportunities based on their personal abilities. The two forwards
In a one-on-one battle, Ferdinand and Asprilla vs Materazzi and Helguera, there is no reason to be at a disadvantage.
When the game started, in order to maintain the championship advantage, Newcastle United naturally went all out and did not intend to test the opponent at all.
Beardsley easily broke through Capdevila and made a cross, and Materazzi also easily beat Asprilla to clear the ball with a header.
When the ball started moving at Millwall's feet, their advantage in the midfield was immediately apparent.
Vieira and Gattuso trailed behind, Ballack made a wide range of runs in the midfield and frontcourt, plus two wingers, Zambrotta and Capdevila assisted, Solskjaer and Shevchin
Ke retreated to support them, and they quickly advanced forward after forming a numerical advantage in the midfield.
Unlike many teams that play positional battles and stay in position, Millwall's players use more back-up moves to confuse the opponent's vision, and their offense is extremely smooth, dazzling the audience.
Aldridge did not stand on the sidelines to supervise the battle. Firstly, he did not want to put pressure on the boys. He now stands on the sidelines as if he must win every battle. This is an incentive for the main players, but for the younger players
It will be a huge pressure for the players.
Another reason is that he can't stand the enthusiasm of the Magpies fans.
It's not that the fans laughed and insulted him.
After all, Millwall is 5 points behind Newcastle United, and Magpies fans don't care about the Lions at all now.
The fervor of the Magpies fans was reflected in their support for Keegan, who chanted a name inside the stadium that sent chills down Aldridge's spine.
"King Keegan! King Keegan!"
Keegan is regarded as the savior by Magpies fans, which is understandable. Aldridge just doesn't want to hear it.
Just like other fans can't stand the admiration paid to Aldridge by Millwall fans.
Keegan stood up. He clenched his fists and looked at the situation on the court in disbelief.
What are you doing?
Millwall come away looking for three points?
He made a mistake.
If it's not defensive, it means a negative attitude toward victory. And if it's not offensive, it means it must despise defense.
Millwall firmly controlled the rhythm of the game today through its strong control in the midfield.
Newcastle United only attacked twice in the opening game. Then they fell into passive defense, and their disadvantage became more and more obvious.
When the aging Beardsley and the handsome Frenchman Ginola were unable to retreat to defend in a wide range, Millwall's midfielder played too easily.
Vieira, Gattuso, and Ballack almost occupied the turf between the two penalty areas through running. They passed the ball smoothly and quickly, and the offense was sometimes in the center, sometimes in the side, sometimes left and sometimes right.
Aldridge saw Millwall's advantage off the court. He turned to Jenson in an understatement and said: "The tactical concept of the guy next door has begun to fall behind. If he still has a defensive concept on the court, he will never win the championship.
The future trend is that every inch of turf and earth on the golf course must be fought for.”
While they were talking, Ballack and Ruud van Nistelrooy quickly stepped in front of the goal, causing chaos in Newcastle United's defense. Vieira attacked and before Batty intercepted him, he passed the ball diagonally to the ribs of the penalty area.
Skjaer advanced forward and was unmarked, volleying the ball into the near corner of the goal.
"Millwall is ahead! The goal was scored by super substitute Solskjaer, who started today. And he was playing as a winger, but we saw that in the first half of more than 20 minutes, Millwall's two wingers frequently played
Diagonally inserting into the penalty area, making Newcastle United unable to defend, Hall is showing off his amazing tactical changes again
Things have changed, but it has to be said that Newcastle United still has not solved a core problem: Can they defend? This is a very obvious disadvantage when facing a mature offensive team. They play Manchester United at home and Liverpool away.
So, now, their home stadium is dominated by Millwall."
After Solskjaer scored, he smiled and hugged every teammate in celebration. It seemed a bit calm, more like a last-minute goodbye.
Aside from Aldridge, no one on the team knew he would leave in the summer.
Magpies fans like Keegan, and liking him often means they will be blinded by objective facts.
Football pundits have been moaning about Newcastle United's poor defending for months.
It was even ridiculed that Newcastle United's defense is an American football defense. The players only pounce on offensive players who have the ball, but do not understand what a defensive system is.
Kevin Keegan also has a headache, and there is news that he has begun looking for a defensive coach to make up for this shortcoming.
This makes the outside world feel even more ridiculous.
If you hire a defensive coach, in the final analysis you can only teach players defensive skills. However, the problem with Newcastle United is not that the players do not know defensive skills. Can you say that Barton, bought for 4 million pounds last summer, does not understand what defense is? Otherwise, you buy
What is he doing! What Keegan should do is teach the defensive players to make them whole, but he went to hire a defensive coach, obviously not aware of his own problem.
Keegan's face was ashen. He also couldn't understand why midfielder Batty was so far away from the opponent when Vieira passed the ball, why Button and Albert allowed Solskjaer to easily enter the penalty area, and why Watson didn't
Keep an eye on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer...
Too many whys filled Keegan's mind.
Aldrich just clapped and continued watching the game with his chin in his hand.
The interspersed running of offensive players always distracts the attention of defensive players, and the slightest disturbance will make them feel like thorns on their backs.
You can't blame Batty for following Ballack on defense until the opponent entered the penalty area and then turning back to mark Vieira. You can't ask Watson to still be on the wing after being attracted by Capdevila.
Keep up with Solskjaer's speed while turning around to chase back.
It can only be said that Newcastle United's defense is terrible.
Keegan should look at how Aston Villa defended and how they minimized Millwall's offensive power.
This game was a bit one-sided. The ball kept moving in Newcastle United's half. Not only were they struggling on the defensive end, but they also struggled to switch from defense to offense, because Millwall's front line counterattacked wildly and the midfielders quickly retreated.
He did a great job of blocking passing routes and defending after losing the ball.
If Ruud hadn't wasted two opportunities, I'm afraid the score would have been rewritten before the halftime break.
In the second half, Kevin Keegan replaced Gillespie and removed a defender. The purpose was to attack, attack, he-he gave me the offense!
He felt that they couldn't do it without attacking. If they lost the game at home, they would lose the top spot.
At least there needs to be a draw.
Aldridge replaced Ballack in the 60th minute of the game and asked Pirlo to play as an attacking midfielder.
Originally, Aldridge wasn't going to let him play in that position, but Newcastle United is top-heavy. Unlike in Italy, where every team defends tightly in the backcourt, Pirlo has a lot of space in front of him, so he can just pass the ball to open it up.
The opponent's defense, especially the opponent who also removed a defender.
Kevin Keegan finally lost on the defensive end. As soon as Pirlo came on the court, he made a wonderful pass to Shevchenko. The routine was basically the same. Shevchenko inserted diagonally into the penalty area and got rid of the full-back who turned to chase.
The central defender was caught off guard.
A beautiful volley caused the Magpie gate to fall again.
This goal directly knocked Newcastle United from the top spot.
Manchester United scored an early goal and led Leeds United 1-0. Although the score has not changed, when the news here passes, Manchester United may choose a more conservative approach to maintain the top spot. (To be continued, please search Piao Piao.
