Don't look at Aldridge's calm performance from beginning to end. This has something to do with the team's lagging behind. He can only be calm, especially when the players' fighting spirit is not a problem. He motivates the players on the sidelines and will make the players
Feel confused and like they are not trying hard.
He was actually enjoying the game in his heart, and gradually became excited.
Ferguson gave him a difficult problem and caused the game to move into a situation that he did not expect before the game.
There is no doubt that Manchester United will attack, but Manchester United fought hard to attack like crazy. This was beyond Aldridge's expectation. I believe that many coaches who are paying attention to this game will think that Ferguson is making a big gamble.
.
What's the blockage?
life!
Keane rushed forward and was so excited to kill, what else is it but a gamble on his life?
No more defense?
However, the result of the first half looked like Ferguson had won.
Since the other party risked his life and Aldrich risked his life to accompany the gentleman, let's bet our lives!
This was the adjustment in the second half of the first half. The offensive players in the frontcourt did not return to defense, and Manchester United's wide players were allowed to attack frontally without worrying about the pressure of counterattack from behind.
If an Italian academic coach were watching this game, he would definitely not include this game in the teaching cases. This is a game that completely violates the principle of teamwork.
Both teams no longer need a midfielder. They can simply finish the attack and let me attack, defend and attack. This was originally a whole, but in this game it was completely separated and turned into two separate battlefields.
Manchester United's four midfielders plus two forwards faced Millwall's four defenders plus two defensive midfielders, and Millwall's single attacking midfielder plus a trident faced Manchester United's single defensive midfielder plus three defenders.
Since Millwall made passive adjustments and the time was at the end of the first half, the effects of the adjustments were not revealed until the second half.
At the end of the halftime break, the Manchester United players continued their strong fighting spirit in the first half and walked out of the locker room. They came on the field with a murderous spirit. There were still 45 minutes left before they conquered this stadium for the first time in the Premier League.
The Millwall soldiers remained calm.
In the first five minutes of the second half, Aldridge gave the team instructions to maintain integrity and return to the tactics at the beginning because he needed to observe and be prepared. In case Manchester United's tactics changed in the second half, he
The adjustment at the end of the first half may have been wrong.
But Ferguson, a stubborn old Scottish man, allowed Manchester United to continue the offensive style of the first half in the second half even though he was leading by two goals at halftime.
Both he and Aldridge deeply understand the iron law of a green field: a goal is scored in the blink of an eye!
45 minutes sounds short, but how many goals can be produced? Who dares to guarantee it?
Manchester United can reverse Bayern Munich in two minutes, Solskjaer can score four goals in 10 minutes, and Millwall beat Chelsea in 15 minutes.
Give 90 minutes to a strong team. The winning rate is extremely high. Give 90 minutes to a strong team in crazy form. The score may be an unbelievable number.
The situation on the field behind the goal is the most critical.
Now that Manchester United was about to attack, Aldridge no longer hesitated, waved his hand, and blew the horn of death.
In the 53rd minute, Cole took the ball in the penalty area and tried to turn around and pass Southgate, but was intercepted by the opponent's foot. Nedvěd ran back to receive the ball and directly hit Zambrotta on the wing.
The player didn't stop the ball and passed a long high ball to the frontcourt.
Pirlo stopped the ball steadily. He stood alone in front of the center circle, with no one around him for ten meters!
Keane and Scholes began to chase hard, and Beckham and Giggs also returned to defend at full speed. Pirlo had enough time and space to turn around and make adjustments and make the next move.
He took the ball and turned around to dribble forward. Johnson, as if seeing a ghost, retreated from a long distance. Neville and Sylvester also immediately moved into the penalty area, and Stam formed a dense three-back plus single.
The defensive line of the defensive midfielder did not give Millwall any space to insert into the ribs.
Ronaldinho, Larsson and Henry, who stayed in the frontcourt without having to defend, started running. Henry withdrew to respond. Ronaldinho also asked for the ball. Pirlo gave the ball to Ronaldinho. After getting the ball,
Ronaldinho did not follow common sense and dribbled the ball directly from left to right.
His diagonal route from the left to the right confused the Manchester United defense.
Neville was so relieved, there was no one in front of him!
When Ronaldinho brought the ball to Johnson, he passed the ball to Pirlo. The Manchester United defender thought that the two would play one-two, but in fact they did not.
Pirlo took the ball on the right in front of the penalty area and passed it diagonally in the opposite direction, and then passed the ball diagonally to the left side of the penalty area.
Just as Ronaldinho dribbled the ball to the right, Larsson and Henry started running to the left at the same time, and the tridents crossed horizontally!
Neville stared at Ronaldinho at first, and after seeing Ronaldinho's route, he couldn't help but move to his left. When Pirlo passed the ball, he looked again, and he was filled with anger!
There was no one on the left side just now. Now, Larson and Henry came running here!
Stam was completely attracted by Ronaldinho who advanced after passing the ball. It was foreseeable that Pirlo might pass the ball to Ronaldinho. However, after Pirlo passed the ball, all Manchester United defenders were dumbfounded.
Neville went to chase Henry, who was on the spot. Henry stepped back and headed the ball lightly. Neville turned around again. His eyes were filled with despair as he watched Larson shoot without stopping the ball!
Looking at Larsson's posture, he was about to volley. Van der Gu also abandoned the goal and opened his arms to expand the defensive area. However, Larsson calmly used the arch of his foot to push the ball. The ball almost touched the turf and came from Van der Gou.
Gu rolled between his legs and then rolled into Manchester United's goal.
The most confused person was Sylvester. One second, he was on Alexander's side, and the next second, he was completely left to the right. He had no pressure and could only watch his own door being breached.
Larsson's goal made the Lion's Den stadium boil again, and everyone firmly believed that they could still score!
Aldrich crossed his arms across his chest and was still not excited, the team was still lagging behind.
But he asked silently in his heart: How long will it take before he finds out?
Ferguson looked frustrated when he saw the team concede the ball. At the same time, he frowned and felt that the conceded goal seemed to have made him notice something, but he couldn't figure it out for the moment.
The pace of the game is fast. As a head coach, you have to concentrate on watching the game and your brain is thinking at high speed. Sometimes it is a huge test.
Three minutes later, Millwall repeated its old trick and came to the wall again, but this time Henry missed the opportunity and his shot was too high and was confiscated by Van De Gou. Then, Manchester United launched a counterattack, with a simple two-foot long shot.
pass.
Neville made a long pass to Beckham, who used the full-moon scimitar skill. The ball made a wonderful arc around the penalty area line on the left side of the penalty area. Giggs rushed forward and stopped the ball with his chest. Schneider had already stretched
The foot was about to be destroyed, but Giggs was the first to throw a cold arrow, and the world wave once again penetrated the door guarded by Butt.
Seeing this lost ball, Aldrich finally couldn't hold back his mood. He turned around with an angry face and walked to the coach's bench and punched the backboard.
"Hey Aldridge, calm down. The ball just lost was not the player's fault."
"Of course I know! Manchester United is so lucky! If Giggs shoots this kind of ball ten times, he will definitely not be able to score one!"
Stopping the ball with his chest and waiting for the ball to hit the ground. There were defensive players around him. The goalkeeper blocked the near corner. He volleyed in the air and arced around the outside of the pocket to the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal. What a god!
It can’t be stopped!
Giggs took off his jersey and ran wildly on the sidelines with his chest and thick chest hair puffed out. Manchester United soldiers chased and intercepted him.
When they gathered together and faced the stands, all the Manchester United soldiers roared with arrogance on their faces.
After Aldridge calmed down, he knew he had to boost the morale of his players!
Falling behind by two goals in the opening game, chasing one, conceding one, chasing one, conceding one, can this not damage morale?
But he didn't go there to applaud the players and call them "unnutritive bastards".
His action of punching the baffle of the bench just now attracted the attention of the players on the court.
At this time, he walked to the sidelines, raised his chin, raised his right arm and stretched it out, extending his index finger and pointing in one direction.
The players on the field looked in the direction he pointed, and where their eyes met, there was a patch of red!
It was the Manchester United soldiers who were celebrating.
Against the backdrop of the hustle and bustle of the entire stadium, the celebrations of the Manchester United generals were particularly eye-catching. Originally, they were the focus now.
Come on? Work hard?
Does this nonsense work?
What Aldrich needs to give the team is stimulation and mental stimulation!
Have you seen it?
The Red Devils and Manchester United are celebrating wildly on our turf!
Can you tolerate it?!
Southgate threw the ball to Nedved in front, who caught it and threw it to Larsson in front.
Larson walked to the kick-off point with the ball in his arms and placed the ball there. Then he straightened his chest and stepped on the ball with one foot. Henry stood opposite him.
Manchester United's celebration was not over yet, but Millwall's 11-man formation was already in place.
They did not urge Manchester United to end the celebration early, which was what the other side deserved.
However, the game is not over yet!
Applause suddenly erupted from the stands, and the applause lasted for a long time. The Lions fans did not criticize the team for conceding another goal. Instead, they applauded and praised their fighting spirit for quickly setting up the kick-off formation.
There is still half an hour left in the game, and as long as a team has a fighting spirit, there is a lot that can be done in half an hour.
Aldridge never thought Millwall would lose today, nor when they were two goals behind, but Manchester United's luck made him feel incredible.
Even so, he still firmly believed that the team could win.
Ferguson let out a long breath, feeling relieved.
After Larsson scored a goal just now, he immediately became extremely nervous, but Giggs' goal brought Manchester United's lead back to two goals. This situation is great!
If Millwall loses their mind and starts attacking wildly, especially if their tactical discipline declines, Manchester United can still score goals, and they definitely can!
Aldridge, Millwall can't make history today!
It was the day Manchester United left scars at Millwall!
Although this can't relieve the hatred and heal the scars of Manchester United changing from league champion to runner-up in stoppage time at the end of last season, it can snipe Millwall, who is determined to create history, which is enough to make Manchester United people dance with joy!
Millwall people, you can cry all you want today!
When Aldridge saw that Ferguson was still sitting on the coaching bench without making substitutions or making adjustments on the sidelines, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly unconsciously.
After calming down and thinking about it, it seems that Manchester United has scored another goal. This situation is not too bad!
Temporary victory can also make people take it lightly.
Sir Alex Ferguson, your disciples are at least obedient and good children on the field, right?
As long as they listen to you obediently, I'll be relieved! (To be continued...)
