In the last twenty minutes of the match between Manchester United and Millwall, Millwall began to attack like crazy, overwhelming Manchester United and beating them wildly in the half.
The defending champion now feels like he's been cornered.
The gap between the two teams was originally 3 points. If they lose this game again, the gap will expand to 6 points. Based on Manchester United's momentum in the first half of the season, it is estimated that Millwall will have a hard time catching up with this gap in the second half of the season.
At least we have to get a draw!
Aldridge made another substitution in the 75th minute of the game, replacing Helguera with Van Nistelrooy, allowing Lampard to retreat, with two forwards on the front line, and both wingers also taking care of defense. The defense line shrank and Makelele defended.
The position moves backward.
After such changes, Millwall's offensive became stronger and stronger.
But Shevchenko missed the goal repeatedly, and Shevchenko missed two consecutive shots.
The Red Devils fans were holding their heads in the stands and couldn't bear to watch anymore.
The crazy lion is now not a arrogant lion at all, but a crazy lion!
Lampard retreated and then stepped in to attack and hit long shots, which was more effective. This was due to the concealment of the attack point. Unfortunately, his long shot in the 79th minute bounced off the goal post and was positioned further back.
Pirlo unexpectedly used his foot to lob, and Schmeichel ran backwards in embarrassment. Seeing that the ball was about to fall into the goal, he jumped up and hit the ball over the crossbar with one punch, but he rolled into the goal.
The competition reaches this level, which is really exciting!
Pirlo went to take the corner kick and once again deceived his opponent. He did not cross the ball, but hit it back to Schneider who came in behind.
Schneider dribbled the ball along the wing, intending to use his personal position to reach the bottom line to expose the space in front of the goal when Manchester United's defense came out, but he didn't expect it. Erwin retreated in front of him.
He slipped and fell to the ground, and the fans at the scene went crazy.
Schneider accepted the gift with a smile, dribbling the ball more calmly, cutting inside, breaking into the penalty area, observing the situation, and then passed the ball low and powerfully.
The Manchester United defenders felt numb when they saw the ball. Not to mention that no one could clear the ball, even if they could touch the ball, they were facing their own goal. On this slippery field, there were slight deviations in their movements.
An own goal.
Fortunately, none of the Manchester United players touched the ball. Gudjohnsen, who was in the back post, got a golden opportunity. He surrounded the back post from a small angle and shot. This shot with great certainty was miraculously saved by Schmeichel.
!
The ball popped out of the outside. Southgate, who had not gone far after retreating, saw the ball coming to him and volleyed without thinking.
Schmeichel, who had just made a close save, was still holding his head in front of Gudjohnsen in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the ball flew back again. When he turned his head and looked around, his whole body exploded.
Grass mud horse!
How many world-class saves do you want from me?
"Strange, so strange! This game is full of magic. In the first half, both teams scored a direct free kick. In the second half, Millwall had a player slip first, and then there was a loophole in the defense that allowed Manchester United to score a goal. As a result, Manchester United now
Some players also slipped, giving Millwall a chance to equalize the score. The most amazing thing is that the two teams'
The goals were scored in exactly the same way. You can't blame the goalkeeper for not doing a good job. Bute made consecutive saves, and Schmeichel also blocked Gudjohnsen's inevitable goal from close range. However, the second goal was still missed.
The opponent took advantage of it and then shot a long shot through the door. 2:2, Millwall brought the game back to the starting point."
The Red Devils fans at Old Trafford looked blankly at the players on the field, especially Erwin.
Alas, his body has already put on weight. In such a competition, it was raining again, and his foot slipped. Who could have expected it.
The Lions fans cheered thunderously, cheering in unison, "Reversal! Reversal! Reversal!"
Of course, we are not satisfied with a draw. Only by defeating Manchester United can we regain the leader's position in the standings.
Aldridge made another substitution, replacing Trezeguet with Materazzi to balance the offense and defense.
In the away game, the players had been relying on continuous pressure on Manchester United. The physical fitness of the players could no longer be maintained. Because of the rain, physical energy was depleted faster.
Players on both sides had their bayonets red and committed frequent fouls. No one wanted to give their opponents another chance to attack. But at this time, the King of Wales showed his power.
Giggs was running fast on the left wing, and Schneider had been madly stepping forward to assist in the previous 20 minutes. This back and forth running consumed a lot of his physical energy. In the 86th minute of the game, he was beaten by Giggs, who was still as fast as lightning.
As Si broke through, Makelele quickly took over and stifled Giggs' threat at the edge of the penalty area, but at the cost of a foul.
Makelele received a yellow card and Manchester United got a direct free kick.
At about a 40-degree angle in the penalty area, Millwall's defense looked like it was facing a formidable enemy.
The handsome boy Beckham stood in front of the ball. Butt looked at the wall of short men and felt a chill in his heart.
There is no way, a tall man like Materazzi must be in the penalty area to prevent the opponent's cross.
Millwall's entire team retreated to prevent the opponent's direct free kick.
There were four people on the wall, Schneider, Pirlo, Shevchenko, and Makelele.
The average height is less than 1.8 meters, the tallest is Sheva, 183cm...
When Beckham's free kick came out, the wall all jumped up, and everyone tried their best to clear the ball with their heads. It seemed that Beckham's scimitar was aimed at the near corner of the goal behind the wall.
Schneider's scalp hit the ball.
Although I am not tall, I can jump high!
After he hit the ball and before it hit the ground, he turned around and looked at the trajectory of the ball. His heartbeat was thundering and he felt something ominous.
Damn it, you can’t stop it, right?
Beckham's free kick was aimed at the goal, but Schneider hit it and suddenly changed direction and turned into a cross.
Ruud was closest to the trajectory of the ball, and everyone could see at first glance that the ball was going towards the goal, but suddenly it flew towards the goal, and they were all shocked.
The king of the small penalty area hurriedly tried to head the ball to clear the ball, but the ball rubbed his head again and bounced to the back point, and the speed became slower.
The distance was too close. When Materazzi saw the ball, he immediately shook his head to clear the ball. However, the ball flew past his head. When he finished shaking his head, he only heard a roaring tsunami erupting from Old Trafford.
Cheers!
Everyone looked towards the back and saw Stam turning and running to the sideline to celebrate. The entire Manchester United team rushed towards the centre-back who had performed steadily since his transfer in the summer.
Day, was killed by a traitor!
"Manchester United staged a decisive victory! There are less than five minutes left in the game. This game may. Perhaps, it will also become a classic. The whole process is unforgettable. If you are a neutral fan, you will definitely laugh when you think of this game.
Laugh. In the last decisive goal, Beckham shot. But it was interfered by Millwall.
Finally, Millwall played a header relay in front of their own goal, and then assisted Stam at the back point. They may have thought that Stam was one of their own... At the last moment, the defending champion could still win.
An equalizer or a huge comeback? But Manchester United are not Bolton Wanderers and we are not at the Lion's Den today."
Millwall's players are going crazy. Today's game felt weird.
Three goals were conceded, one was a free kick, one was caught by the opponent and a long-range shot was scored. The third goal was conceded. Although there were accidental factors, it was obviously related to the nervousness at the last moment. Van Nistelrooy took that one.
It was more like being hit on the head by a ball, and then he fell backward, taking down the captain Southgate.
Seeing this goal, Aldridge covered his eyes with his hands, as if he didn't believe the scene in front of him.
Ferguson rushed out of the coaching bench and ran into the rain-soaked stadium, raising his arms in the air with joy just like he did when he led the team to win the first top league championship in the first year of the Premier League.
Aldrich wiped his face to wipe away the rainwater, and then pointed at Materazzi. The Italian knew what to do next without Aldrich's words.
Materazzi said a few words to Southgate. It meant: Captain, I am going to charge into the battle, you guard the house.
There is not much time left in the game. Manchester United is united to hold on to the victory, while Millwall wants to press the entire army to stage a counter-attack!
Pirlo's through ball was unsuccessful. Fortunately, the ball was cleared and was still under Millwall's control. Schneider made a pass from the wing and was cleared by Stam. The ball fell to Scholes' feet. The ginger head was so calm.
It's outrageous that he dared to pass it back to Neville so boldly!
Gudjohnsen immediately counterattacked Neville, who passed the ball to Beckham who ran out of space on the wing.
Beckham turned around without taking the ball, and directly passed the ball diagonally to the left.
The King of Wales, Giggs, jumped forward in front of Schneider, stopped the ball with his chest, landed smoothly, and then rushed forward with the ball.
Schneider can't keep up with Giggs at all now.
Too much pressure!
Giggs made a smooth move, and Makelele returned to defense to protect the space in the penalty area. When Giggs came near the penalty area, he moved there to press. Giggs wisely did not get close to Makelele and knocked the ball across the middle.
Sheringham took the ball and made a triangle pass. The ball went straight into the space in the ribs of the penalty area. Cole didn't stop the ball and hit the far corner without stopping. But Bute was helpless!
4:2
Manchester United secured the victory through a counterattack in the first minute of stoppage time.
Red Devils fans celebrated wildly with singing and dancing in the stands, and they waved their fists to demonstrate against Millwall.
Very strange scene.
If it were three or four years ago, would the Red Devils fans be excited about beating Millwall?
I'm afraid it's mostly a natural and unexpected feeling.
Aldrich shook his head and smiled bitterly on the sidelines.
I often walked by the river and finally fell into the river.
I hunt geese all year round, but today I was blinded by a goose peck!
In the past, counterattacks against wealthy teams were successful, but today Manchester United destroyed their hope of equalizing the score in this way.
Although Aldrich was a little disappointed, his mentality was relatively stable.
Manchester United was just waiting for work at home. During the fast period, the home advantage was even more obvious. Moreover, no one expected that Millwall would lose the third goal in such a bizarre way, and the situation suddenly became very passive.
The Lions fans in the stands suddenly sang in unison, singing the Lions team anthem in unison.
Today should be the most depressing Christmas they have experienced in the three and a half years since Aldrich took over, but they are only temporarily disappointed.
"At the end of the game, the last league game of the first half of the Premier League came to an end. In this focus battle at Old Trafford, the visiting defending champion Millwall lost with a score of 2:4. Not only did they fail to narrow the gap with Manchester United
The gap between the two teams has widened to 6 points. At the same time, Arsenal, who are chasing behind them, have also reached a point with Mir.
Wall's points gap has narrowed to 4 points, which will undoubtedly make the Premier League in the second half of the season more exciting. Maybe in the final round of the Premier League this season, Millwall's home game against Manchester United will be the final winner.
Battle! This ends the game commentary. Merry Christmas, friends! See you in three days!"
Aldridge walked into Ferguson's office after the game, and the two briefly talked for twenty minutes on a special day like Christmas. Although Ferguson no longer tentatively dug Millwall players, he took aim at Millwall.
Wall's coach.
Manchester United wants Meulensteen. This kind of poaching does not require Millwall's approval. Ferguson only informed Aldridge as a courtesy. Aldridge seemed relatively calm. If Meulensteen wants to leave, Millwall will
Meulensteen can't keep him, but Aldridge has strong confidence in keeping Meulensteen because Millwall has something Meulensteen yearns for more.
That is a large number of talented players for him to train their skills.
