Thanks to "The Thief" and "Purple Dawn" for the reward!
--------------------------
The focus battle at the Lion's Den Stadium became intense. After Millwall took the initiative to speed up, Manchester United had more space to defend and counterattack.
But Manchester United encountered a new problem.
When Larsson is on the court, his impact on the wing is actually not great, because Larsson's greater threat is to face the goal after running and cutting.
Therefore, Giggs' defense does not need to retreat too deep, but after Gronzal came on the field, he almost tortured Erwin. Giggs was on the opposite wing, so he couldn't turn a blind eye. He clearly knew that Millwall was missing.
Larsson, the threat to the goal from the center is reduced, but Grenchar always makes such a low pass. Who can guarantee that the defense will be flawless? Just now, Ruud Ruud missed two good opportunities to grab points.
Giggs can only retreat deeper, so when fighting back, Manchester United's wings cannot fly. If they go through the middle, the advancement speed is slow. Not to mention Makelele, Pirlo is not transparent either.
In fact, Manchester United and Millwall are already in a fierce confrontation at this point.
Keane vs. Nedved, Scholes vs. Pirlo.
If Makelele steps forward to participate in the attack, Yorke's retracement will be deeper.
On both sides, a central defender is marking the player, and a central defender is responsible for intercepting when appropriate.
Two of Millwall's main offensive players have been replaced, and with Larsson's dismissal, it means that the Trident was no longer the main player last season, so it is no longer possible to gain an advantage at the tactical level.
Aldrich recognized this, so he gave them more freedom and allowed them to boldly display their personal technical characteristics.
In the second half, Ronaldinho stopped breaking through. He controlled the ball more and became more like a classic attacking midfielder, except that his position was on the left side of the center.
In the 19th minute of the second half, Pirlo handed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho faced double-teams from Neville and Beckham. He dribbled the ball horizontally like a rabbit and broke through. Just as he dribbled the ball towards the center
When leading the ball, Nedved pushed forward. Keane immediately followed Nedved when he saw this. This way, Ronaldinho had room to move forward.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Scholes retreated to defend Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho passed the ball across to Pirlo, who had just stopped the ball. Scholes, who had returned halfway, chose to let it go in desperation.
shovel.
Pirlo pushed the ball away, but he failed to avoid Scholes' flying tackle and fell to the ground.
Aldridge was a little collapsed because Pirlo fell to the ground and didn't get up.
"Fuck-fuck!"
Ferguson came out and explained to the fourth official that the player's action was not a flagrant foul. Aldridge asked Lampard to warm up, the team doctor came in, and the referee warned Scholes with a yellow card.
Aldridge walked to the fourth official with a sullen expression. Ferguson just finished speaking and said to Aldridge: "Paul didn't commit a flagrant foul. You saw it clearly. It was just an accident."
"I see it very clearly. My players are injured, and two of them are the main players!"
First Larsson, then Pirlo.
What a bad time.
Ferguson took the initiative to comfort him and said: "This kind of thing will happen to everyone. Larson's collision is normal. Paul's tackle, uh, he actually doesn't know how to tackle at all. It was an accident just now."
Aldridge doesn't want to make trouble unreasonably. Scholes can defend. But he can't tackle. It's a very strange phenomenon.
He walked back to the sidelines to say a few words to Lampard, and then he was replaced.
Pirlo was carried down on a stretcher. Whether the injury was serious or not will be known only after examination.
As soon as a Manchester United player gets the ball, the Lions fans in the stands will boo their opponent.
From a neutral perspective, neither Larson nor Pirlo's injuries were flagrant fouls, but two major players were injured in one game, and of course the fans couldn't accept it.
Lampard needs to get familiar with the rhythm after coming on the field, so he needs to do a good job of defense first.
Manchester United thought they had a chance to launch a counterattack. Giggs quickly passed the ball from the left at a 45-degree angle, but Butt punched him out.
Makelele got the ball and passed it directly to Ronaldinho in the frontcourt. Ronaldinho hit the ball across the middle. Lampard stepped forward and also kicked the ball. The ball came to the feet of Grenchar. There were people around him.
There was a huge space, and Giggs hadn't come back yet. Erwin was frightened by him and had already gone back to take a position in advance, fearing that the space would be exposed behind him if he pounced hard.
Grenjaer observed the situation, Keane was still guarding Nedvěd, Scholes was keeping an eye on Lampard, and Ronaldinho's movement route was to cut inside, making Neville and Stam feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
After the start of Glenchard, there was a speed impact that looked like "the pitch is going backwards".
Erwin's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw Grenchar's running route.
Little bastard, where are you going?
Come to me!
I'm here!
Glenchard was 40 yards away from the bottom line, and he directly changed his direction and dribbled the ball diagonally towards the penalty area. Erwin was directly blocked on the wing. Erwin, who was furious, rushed to help defend the penalty area.
, at the same time Johnson went up to intercept Glenchar.
But there was really no way to stop Grenchar who was charging!
Johnson was a step slower, and Grenchar was almost brought down by the opponent. He almost re-adjusted his steps with two or three staggering steps, and decisively took a long shot from the right side of the penalty area!
The ball drew a wonderful inner arc, and seemed to be going out of the baseline after taking off, but it circled back during the flight. Then, the audience saw Schmeichel flying to the limit, but his fingertips could not touch it.
When the ball reaches the goal, it's a blind spot.
The ball went in...
The whole place fell into a dead silence for two seconds, followed by cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami!
"Wonderful individual performance by Glenchard! He went directly from the right to the center. Johnson failed to stop him. The referee's whistle was in his mouth. After seeing that Glenchard did not fall, he decisively signaled that the game should continue.
Lenchard used a long-range shot that shocked everyone and penetrated the door of Manchester United, helping Millwall lead the opponent 2:1. This will definitely be one of the most wonderful goals that Lenchard will remember!"
Aldridge was waving his fists on the sidelines with a ferocious look on his face, and he didn't know what he was saying.
Of course. He and the people behind him could hear it clearly.
He was yelling.
"Grass, grass, grass, damn football! Grass and mud horses! This game is so brutal! It hurts two of my main players. If you don't give me a victory, where can I reason?"
After scoring the goal, Grenjaer took off his jersey and ran excitedly to the coach's bench. He threw the jersey on the grass and was the first to run to hug Moniz who was sitting on the coach's bench.
In the new season, due to the departure of Benitez and Tolop, Moniz joined the first team coaching staff, but his work tasks have become heavier. Not only must he be responsible for the training of the first team, he must also take care of the youth team to develop the skills of young players.
guide.
Grunchar has been with the team for four years, and this is the fifth year. Since Millwall hired Meulensteen and Moniz, Moniz has been in charge of Grenchar's technical guidance.
His goal just now was due to his superb skills in combining the ball with others and his long-range shooting skills which were significantly improved compared to three years ago.
This is all achieved through hard work day after day and year after year. What Grenchar is most grateful to is Moniz. It was Moniz who accompanied him to watch videos and personally guided him in technical movement training. He is today
The improvement is inseparable from Moniz’s hard work.
Gronzhal hugged Moniz and then high-fived Aldrich in celebration. Then he waved his arms toward the stands from the sidelines, drawing bursts of applause and cheers from the fans.
The referee punished Grenchar with a yellow card and took off his clothes to celebrate.
Ferguson's expression was a little tangled, more like depression than anger.
Thinking back to the time when he was rejected for poaching Mullenstine, he felt very sorry.
The technical abilities of Millwall's new batch of young talents are obviously outstanding, and they have maximized their strengths.
Ferguson had hoped that Meulensteen would come to Manchester United to help Manchester United train rookies, but Meulensteen simply told Ferguson: It's not that the conditions provided by Manchester United are not good, or that Manchester United is not attractive to me, but that Manchester United's talent reserve is completely inferior to that of Manchester United.
Not going to Millwall.
Cultivate and educate players in accordance with their aptitude. Players who have famous teachers may not necessarily be successful. They must also be talented themselves.
Aldrich is very pleased that Glenchard has gotten rid of the habits of a classical winger and now combines the playing style of a modern winger. The goal just now is very typical.
With less than 15 minutes left in the game, Manchester United began to counterattack. But they could not control the ball. Millwall steadily controlled the rhythm. Aldridge asked the team to shrink back. If Manchester United dared to press hard, Millwall was in front.
The tridents are not slow, and counterattacks are not as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
Aldridge sat back, and Jenson suddenly turned to him and asked: "I was just thinking, if we bring Giggs to our place, we can transform him into a winger like Glenchard."
Aldridge thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, the two positions are different. One is a full midfielder and the other is a winger. Giggs assists more than he scores. My requirement for Glenchard is that goals exceed assists.
No one can explain something that has not been tried.”
"If Giggs can score as many goals as Overmars did at Arsenal last season, maybe Manchester United will become very scary."
"I don't think so. Then Giggs's assists will drop, which doesn't mean Manchester United's goals will increase more."
After thinking for a moment, Jensen shook his head and sighed. This kind of question can only be thought about, but it is impossible to draw a conclusion without facts.
Last season, one of the heroes of Arsenal's championship was Peter Pan Overmars. He scored 12 goals in 32 league games. Although Giggs has a sharp breakthrough, his position and role are not as a winger, but as a left winger.
Midfielders or left midfielders have a very stable number of league goals every season, about 7, but more assists. Although there are performances of riding thousands of miles alone, that is not a common way to score goals.
He is a typical team player who uses his own characteristics to help the team win.
Although Aldridge has not completely given up on the full-forward tactical play, he has not used it much. He occasionally lets Van der Meyde and Duff play such roles. He prefers to use wingers and has higher requirements for wingers.
, that is, when the situation is deadlocked, the winger must be able to break the deadlock or change the situation by relying on his personal ability.
Today's Ronaldinho and Grenciar both displayed such characteristics. Ronaldinho used his personal ability to attract the opponent's focus on defense, while Grenciar suddenly gave Manchester United a fatal blow.
At the last moment of the game, Manchester United scrambled for the whole game. Millwall saw the right time and launched another counterattack. Ronaldinho and Grenjaer switched positions. On the right, Ronaldinho took the ball and also followed Grenjaer to score.
The ball's path surged forward, facing Stam, Manchester United's last line of defense.
With Johansson, Ronaldinho did not choose to take a long shot. Instead, after Ruud van Nistelrooy attracted Stam away, he passed the ball to Nedved who came in behind. Nedved fired a heavy shot from the line of the penalty area.
When the goal hit, Schmeichel had already surrendered, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Millwall regretted not being able to expand the score, and the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The Lions defeated the Red Devils and Manchester United 2:1 at home. The victory came at a high cost. They lost two of their main players!
