Millwall won Leicester City at home. Manchester United, who had been shouting that Millwall would collapse, lost to Derby County at home in this round, causing the points gap between the two teams to change from 11 points to 14 points.
points, with six rounds left in the league, unless Millwall collapses, it is impossible to give Manchester United a chance to reverse the situation.
Fleet Street added insult to injury for Manchester United: Do you want Millwall to collapse? You should stop yourself from collapsing first! Liverpool is only 4 points away from you. The league runner-up cannot be kept, and the Champions League tickets will be gone, unless you can win the European Champions Cup.
!
The FIFA match day came as scheduled, and the players went to the national team to report. Makelele and Trezeguet were called up by the French team for the first time. Before leaving, Makelele ran to Aldrich to express his gratitude. He knew
Without Aldridge tirelessly recommending him to the French team, it would be difficult for him to enter the French team, which is full of talents.
Aldridge has been feeling a little depressed recently because the incident with Richards made him sad.
On days when there are no first-team games, in addition to leading scattered team training, he will go to the cinema alone to watch movies at other times, or stay at home and read a book, trying to distract himself.
At the end of the international match day and the players were about to return to the team, Andrew called Aldridge, which made Aldridge furious.
"Have you been contacted by someone from Manchester United?"
"It's not me, it's Yap. They went to the Netherlands specifically and found an opportunity to contact Yap during the national team game to discuss the transfer. Yap just called me to inform me. To be honest, the conditions offered by Manchester United are very
generous."
"I see."
After Aldrich hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Ferguson. After the call came through, he started yelling into the phone.
"Alex, Manchester United's season is over, Millwall's season is not! F-uck! Stay away from my players!"
"Aldrich..."
Toot toot.
Aldrich hung up the phone.
Manchester United has no hope of defending the Premier League. The only remaining trophies are the Champions League and retaining second place in the league.
It is understandable that Ferguson is now starting to prepare for the summer. Many teams will poach before the end of the season.
But Aldridge and Ferguson had a gentleman's agreement, but the other party took the initiative to tear up the agreement, which Aldridge couldn't accept.
After all, Millwall still has key games to play in the FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup. If Stam is thinking about the transfer, it will undoubtedly affect his concentration on the court.
Moreover, Manchester United may be worried. What if Millwall is very successful this season and Stam is unwilling to leave?
Before they get the trophy, they should finalize the agreement with Stam. Even if Stam still has room to regret it, he still has to worry about his face and credibility.
When the players returned to the team, Stam took the initiative to approach Aldridge and requested a summer transfer.
Aldrich did not try to stay and agreed to let him leave, but he was required to remain silent in front of the media.
The stubborn melon is not sweet. He was retained last year, and the master and apprentice also made a promise. If Stam still thinks that Millwall is not as good as Manchester United, then Aldridge has nothing to say. The opponent wants to wear the Red Devils' jersey.
Rob, then go.
In less than a month, Millwall lost two important central defenders, one the main player and the other the main substitute.
The originally abundant reserve of central defenders suddenly became just adequate.
Southgate, Helguera, Materazzi, and Ferdinand, if they are not injured or sick, the four of them will definitely be able to cope with the future.
In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Millwall faced defending champion Manchester United at home.
Because there is a European match in midweek, both Manchester United and Millwall have both teams, so both teams have sent their substitute lineups. Millwall only has the absolute main player Larsson in the starting lineup.
"It's strange. Hall's face looked a little ugly today. There was no sign of happiness when he appeared on the stage. Could it be that he was too nervous?"
"It's not like that. Why should he be nervous? Even if he loses to Manchester United at home, so what? From a 14-point lead to 11 points, there are still five rounds of the league. As long as they win one game, Manchester United must win all the games.
If they win, they can draw another game and win the championship with their goal difference."
"Yes, but why is he unhappy? It's strange that Manchester United did not send their main players to play today. They want to go all out for the Champions League semi-final against Dortmund."
Aldridge was not even interested in looking at Ferguson after entering the field. He walked to the coach's bench and sat down, with his arms folded across his chest and a calm expression on his face, staring at the players on the field sharply.
The fans of the Lions are in high spirits. A huge banner is floating in the south stand with the image of the Premier League trophy printed on it, indicating that the Lions are about to crown the crown.
Today Millwall still plays a 433 formation, but the midfielder is equipped with a defensive midfielder and two central midfielders. Gattuso is responsible for sweeping, Ballack is more organized, and Lampard tends to move in from the back.
Larsson and Grenciar are the two forwards, and Ruud van Nistelrooy forwards as the center.
In the Manchester United lineup, Aldridge saw some unfamiliar faces, including the rather tragic Cruyff. After playing three games on behalf of Manchester United at the beginning of the season and scoring goals in an amazing performance, he entered the rhythm of long-term recovery from injuries.
There is baby-faced compatriot Johnson, as well as some other Manchester United youth training players.
Manchester United has transferred more youth training players from the youth team to the first team this season, and more than 15 of them have played for the first team, but none of them have been able to gain a foothold in the first team. Only a few players from the Red Devils Class 92 finally stood out.
Ferguson has given up in the league. Manchester United's biggest problem this season is the overuse of young players. Young players such as Beckham, Giggs, and the Neville brothers are not only the main force in the league, but also in the European wars and cup games.
Otherwise, their bodies cannot adapt to the overly compact schedule, and their performance is ups and downs. When they are in good condition, they are overwhelmed by gods. Once they fall into fatigue, they will be defeated in away games and overturned by weak teams at home.
Ferguson stared at the Millwall players on the field, scanning each player one by one. He would be lying if he said he was not envious.
Lampard, Ballack, Helgra Zambrotta, Ruud Ruud, Ferdinand, etc., the more I look at them, the more amazing they become. Where did Millwall get so many good prospects?
Does Aldrich really have the magic power to turn decay into magic?
This reminded him of his early experience of going to Barcelona with Sir Bobby Charlton. They went there to find some good players, but after the two of them saw Barcelona's youth training system, Sir Charlton said to Ferguson: Let's go.
Well, what Manchester United needs is not a certain player, but a youth training system like Barcelona.
Although the Red Devils' youth training had its glory days under Busby, in the era of Manchester United's decline, the youth training also plummeted. After Ferguson took over Manchester United, he also began to rebuild the youth training, and this was the birth of Class 92.
Now, Millwall has also created a youth training system that shocked England. Their investment in youth training is unimaginable. The scale of Leo's youth training base is larger than their home stadium, the Lion's Den Stadium, and the club building.
.
During the game, Millwall played more patiently than Manchester United. Manchester United sent out most players who usually do not play often, which made their players more motivated, but they were also a little impatient on the court.
In the transition between offense and defense, Millwall has more opportunities and greater threats.
Ballack firmly controls the midfield. Although he is not as quick as Pirlo, he is more stable and has no problem sorting out the midfield.
After Lampard stepped in, Ballack passed the ball over. Lampard pretended to catch the ball but missed the ball. This caught the opponent by surprise. Just on the left side of the penalty area, Larsson received the ball.
The shooter with hot feet just leaned forward and deceived the Manchester United defender. The opponent thought he was going to cut inside out of habit. Ferguson emphasized that he must guard the inside route.
But Larson dribbled the ball horizontally in the penalty area, and no one from Manchester United's defenders came up to press him. Ruud van Nistelrooy's movement attracted the defensive attention very well. On the other side, Grenchar's movement also helped Larson.
.
He took three steps laterally. Larson swung his legs on the spot and took a shot. The ball went through a wonderful arc and hit the dead center of the goal.
"Beautiful goal, Larsson's 33rd goal in the league!"
Aldridge remained motionless in his seat, while the coaches and players next to him rushed out excitedly.
As long as they win this victory, the point gap between them and Manchester United will widen to 17 points, and they will be crowned the Premier League champion five rounds in advance!
Aldrich thought more. Larson's goal just now reflected his personal skills. After observing the situation, he dribbled horizontally, opened up space and accurately shot the arc ball outside the penalty area. It was a very beautiful shot, and
This is the best way for future top wingers to score goals, cutting across the middle to create space and suddenly kicking the ball.
He had to admit that the wake-up call Najib gave him last year was too important.
During this year, Larsson's skills are still improving, and with scientific and advanced training methods, he is better than the Larsson in history.
During his time with the Celtics, Larson was a player who scored 30+ goals per season, and he also experienced a broken leg!
At Millwall, he improved faster and became better during the same period, all of which was inseparable from the efforts of his colleagues on the coaching staff.
Glenchard on the other side has also improved very quickly. Although his breakthrough technique is still the same, with a tough speed, he has become increasingly mature in route selection and timing, and his shooting has also improved, at least it is not too outrageous.
.
After Manchester United counterattacked for a while, they were defeated by a wave of Millwall counterattacks from the side. Glenchard broke into the penalty area with the ball and crossed the ball, providing an assist for Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Millwall took a two-goal lead in the first half. In the second half, Manchester United was unable to resist. Ruud van Nistelrooy was knocked to the ground by goalkeeper Vandegoo in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick. Larsson calmly scored a penalty kick and finally sealed the score.
At 3:0.
This season, Millwall completed a home and away double-header against the three traditional giants in England and was crowned the Premier League champion five games ahead of schedule.
At the end of the game, the fans in the stands cried with joy, cheered for the players, and did not want to leave for a long time.
The players and coaches also rushed onto the field to celebrate happily.
Aldridge's expression was unfavorable throughout the game. When the final whistle sounded, he stood up and walked towards Ferguson. Before the two got closer, Ferguson spoke first: "Congratulations, Premier League champion."
Aldrich's expression remained unchanged, he shook hands with Ferguson's right hands and then let go, turning around to leave.
Ferguson frowned and said, "Aldrich, don't act like a child."
Aldridge suddenly turned around and said angrily: "This is not a child's temper! It's Manchester United's damn contempt for Millwall! It's your lack of respect for me! If you don't respect the agreement, don't fucking talk to me in the first place.
!”
Ferguson looked sullen and said in a deep voice: "Yap wants to join Manchester United. It's that simple."
"Is this your answer? Very good, fifteen million pounds! I won't let him go for even a penny less! Even if you instigate my players to fight with me, that's fine, I will agree to it on the last day of the transfer window.
Let him go!"
After Aldridge finished speaking, he turned and walked into the players' tunnel. He would give the players and coaches time to celebrate, but he did not want to join them because there was still a big game to prepare for in midweek, and Millwall's season was far from over.
Ferguson's face was livid, he muttered something unknown, and he left the scene with the Red Devils disciples angrily.
Fifteen million pounds?
That was the world transfer record last year!
It was exactly the price that Newcastle United intercepted and took away Shearer.
Are Manchester United going to spend the same amount on a centre-back?
