The Lion's Den Stadium was filled with laughter, and the crazy Lions fans were singing leisurely in the stands. There were only 3 minutes of stoppage time left before the end of the game. When the referee blew the whistle, Millwall's journey to the Premier League this season will begin.
End, the only domestic competition left is the FA Cup final, which has nothing to do with them. Therefore, on this last home match day, the fans are happy and relaxed. As long as Manchester United does not win the championship at their home court, any other result is acceptable.
Manchester United's attack across the board was fruitless, but Millwall counterattacked again before the end. Van Nistelrooy got the ball in the frontcourt and then pretended to pass the ball. Stam was deceived. Then Van Nistelrooy went to the meeting alone and Stam was caught.
After passing by, he looked completely lost: No chance.
Van Nistelrooy dribbled the ball forward and found that Stam was not chasing him, so the speed began to slow down, seeming to maximize the certainty of this shot.
Schmeichel moved forward step by step and slowly expanded the defensive area. He was wary of the opponent's hanging goal.
Aldridge had already stood up to prepare for the whistle to end the game. When he saw Ruud van Nistelrooy slowly refusing to shoot, and his whole person seemed to be in a tangled state, Aldridge turned back to the coaching staff and waved his hands to signal: This kid suddenly
Think about life!
Perhaps Van Nistelrooy thought that by scoring this goal, he would score a hat-trick against Manchester United, so he wanted to send the ball accurately into the opponent's goal.
When he finished thinking about taking a kick, someone squeezed him out from behind and then passed the ball to Schmeichel.
There was a sigh in the Lion's Den Stadium, and the fans shook their heads speechlessly in the stands.
You are thinking too much!
Just shoot it, it doesn't matter if it doesn't go in!
After Van Nistelrooy lost the ball, he stabilized his body and turned around to see that the person who stole the ball was not Stam, but an unexpected person: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
All the other Manchester United players gave up. Stam, who was closest to the ball, was passed by Ruud van Nistelrooy when he rushed to grab the ball. After pulling away, he looked at his own door numbly.
But there was one person who didn't give up, the baby-faced Solskjaer. From the moment Manchester United's attack failed, he tried his best to defend. When Ruud van Nistelrooy got the ball, he had already run close to the center line. Originally, Ruud van Nistelrooy only had to play normally.
It was impossible to give Solskjaer a chance to steal the ball from behind, but his brain suddenly shut down and he missed the chance of a hat-trick.
Aldridge applauded on the sidelines. His applause was for Solskjaer. The game can be lost, but the will cannot be broken!
But Solskjaer's defense only prevented Manchester United from conceding a fourth goal.
When Schmeichel kicked the ball forward and Lampard headed it back, the referee blew the full-time whistle.
"At the end of the game, Millwall defeated Manchester United 3:1 at home, the first round of the league clash at Old Trafford. Millwall lost to Manchester United 2:4, but ended half a season later.
In the battle, Millwall also defeated Manchester United by two goals, and this defeat was an extremely heavy blow to Manchester United. The game at Villa Park has ended. Aston Villa defeated the leader Arsenal 1:0 at home.
, Manchester United actually only needed a draw to regain the championship trophy. But they failed to achieve it,
This season, Manchester United has lost all four majors, and its closest league title has also been shattered at the Lion's Den. After defeating Manchester United, Aldrich Hall's team has the same points as its opponent, but is at a disadvantage on goal difference, so it is ranked third.
Like Manchester United, they are only 1 point behind the new Premier League champion Arsenal. In their third season in the Premier League, Millwall set a new low in the league. They only finished third in the league and were runners-up in the first year. In the second year, they were the runner-up.
Championship, haha, Hall's team is in danger, because if they don't
If he can defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and win the championship, then next season they will miss the Champions League. This may be his punishment. Who makes him a person that even the head coaches of the top Premier League teams don’t like? In the past three years, he has
In the Premier League, Millwall will either win the championship or snipe the favorites to win the championship. Both Newcastle United and Manchester United suffered losses from him, but Manchester United should at least remember that if it were not for Hall's team, they defeated Newcastle two years ago.
United, they may not be able to achieve a great comeback and win the championship.97
/All 380 Premier League games in the 1998 season are over. Congratulations to Arsenal. The Frenchman Arsene Wenger has fulfilled his promise. He has given Arsenal a new look. The giants that once dominated English football are regaining their dream of winning the championship. This is a good phenomenon. I believe it.
The competition for the Premier League title will be even more intense next season. If Liverpool can work harder, then the Premier League will undoubtedly become extremely exciting. Friends, we are looking forward to the Premier League next season, and we also wish England a successful trip to the World Cup in France.
Achieve great results.”
After the game, Aldridge went to shake hands with Ferguson. The old Scottish man shook hands with him hastily and then left.
A replica of the Premier League trophy was also taken away.
The FA would like to thank Millwall from the bottom of their hearts for beating Manchester United at home.
It doesn't matter that the Premier League trophy at the Lion's Den is a replica.
But all the important people among the FA's award guests went to Villa Park. No one expected that Arsenal had diarrhea in the away game. If Manchester United really drew with Millwall or reversed, the FA would be in a very difficult situation.
In an embarrassing situation, at least the guests who presented the award to Manchester United were some people who did not have enough weight.
The Manchester United players quickly left the field and walked into the tunnel. Neville kicked the wall unwillingly...
Aldridge raised his hands above his head and applauded on the court, and then walked to each stand to make an act of worship and gratitude to the fans.
The players also thanked the fans and left early. Their season is not over yet, and everything must go according to plan.
There was nothing to say in the post-match press conference, except that a reporter asked maliciously: "Manchester United or Arsenal, does Millwall prefer to see Arsenal win the championship?"
Aldridge replied without thinking: "I would rather see Millwall win the championship."
"But Millwall has no chance of winning the title."
"So what you're saying is that we should let Manchester United go?"
"..."
The Fleet Street reporters gave the Mirror man a look of disdain.
Millwall haven't given up yet?
All of them are on the bench, and none of the main players are on the bench. How do you think about giving up?
People are going to play in the Champions League final, and they are afraid that Manchester United will go crazy to avoid injuries to the main players. It is also to recuperate. Everyone understands that Manchester United's failure to win the game has nothing to do with Millwall. It is just that the forwards are not strong. The golden center
The field provides enough fire support, but if the forwards cannot seize the opportunity, this is their own problem.
After the press conference, Aldrich drove home.
I returned home and sat on the sofa to rest, took out my mobile phone and sent a congratulatory text message to Wenger.
After sending the text message, he threw the phone aside. He lay on the sofa and turned on the TV, but his eyes were unfocused.
The team's performance throughout the season comes to mind.
He needs to summarize and reflect.
Millwall is fighting on four fronts this season. The overall number of games is similar to last season. On the basis of rotation, the performance is not bad. There are two key reasons for the failure of defending the title. One is that various teams use buses to snipe Millwall.
Secondly, the strategy of "beating the weak with the weak" in the first half of the season ended in failure, and a lot of points were lost that should not have been lost.
While he was thinking, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message. He thought it was Wenger texting him back, but when he picked it up, he found that it was not the case at all. Wenger was probably celebrating passionately with the players at this moment.
The text message was from Moyes. He led Preston to a completely new performance in the second half of the season. At the end of the first half, Preston fell into the relegation zone. In the second half of the season, under the leadership of Moyes, they made rapid progress and not only escaped the relegation zone early.
, and even reached the promotion play-offs at the end of the season. Several of his loaned players performed very well at Preston. Moyes invited Aldridge to watch the game live and watch their Preston promotion play-offs.
Competition final.
Aldrich thought about it and politely declined the invitation. He declined the invitation on the grounds of preparing for the Champions League.
Multiple friends and multiple paths, especially good relationships with head coaches of other clubs, will help Millwall's future loan players to train.
The Premier League season review began to play on TV. Arsenal won the championship. Chelsea was the focus. Chelsea, ranked fifth in the league, has made a huge leap this season. It not only refreshed the highest ranking in the Premier League, was runner-up in the League Cup, and won the European Cup.
The Cup also reached the finals.
As for Manchester United and Millwall, they are both lamented and lamented characters. What is numbing is that Liverpool is like this every year, ranking third or fourth in the league very steadily...
The number of goals scored by the Premier League's top scorer has reached a new low this year. He can win the Golden Boot with 18 goals. Four people have won the award. Although Larsson is tied with the other three, he can still be regarded as successfully defending the Golden Boot. The other three
The people who scored 18 goals are Dablin, Sutton and Owen!
In terms of individual award selection, Millwall has been relatively miserable this year, with the exception of Larsson's Golden Boot.
Ding dong
The doorbell rang.
Aldrich stood up and opened the door. Yi Wenqiao appeared at the door with a sweet smile, and said with a smile: "You haven't eaten, have you?"
Aldrich nodded, not very interested.
Yiwen walked in and said, "I'll call the restaurant to deliver the food. Just wait, we can have dinner within an hour."
Aldrich looked at the clock on the wall and asked strangely: "How do you know I haven't eaten at this time?"
"Because you can't eat, there's something on your mind."
Aldrich leaned against the wall, crossed his arms across his chest, tilted his head and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"
"The team will compete in the Champions League next season."
Aldrich shook his head helplessly, and she really guessed it right.
Millwall only ranks third in the league. If they fail to win the Champions League, they will have to play in the UEFA Cup next season. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce Millwall's confidence in retaining players.
"Hey, don't think about it. Let's wait for dinner. Brady and the others asked us to go out for a drink tonight."
Aldridge sat down, temporarily put aside his worries, and joked: "I hope I don't run into Arsenal fans when I go out drinking at night."
Yiwen said nonchalantly: "It's best to meet a few of them. I especially want to see the Arsenal fans looking proud."
Aldrich looked strange and said: "What kind of mentality is this?"
"It's a normal mentality. I don't know when Arsenal's championship parade will be. It's better to be later, after the 20th."
"Damn, don't lose your character, okay?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Guess for yourself."
While chatting with Ivan while waiting for dinner, Aldridge quickly adjusted his mood. He knew that when facing the Champions League final, all factors other than the game should not become his worries, otherwise it would not be conducive to the team's preparation and the game.
of performance.
Other teams are on holiday, but the three teams in London are still in a state of intense preparation.
Arsenal are going to play in the FA Cup final.
Chelsea are going to play in the European Cup Winners' Cup final.
Millwall are going to play in the European Champions Cup final.
London has become the center of English football this season!
