469 What is football?

Martin Taylor's crazy commentary was impossible for Aldridge to hear at the scene.

But he could see the crazy Lions fans standing up like crazy, the sad and numb Red Devils fans, the running Henry causing a blue wave in the stands, and the coaching staff.

Members and substitutes rushed out to join the celebrations of the players on the field.

Of course, he could see an old Scottish man standing resolutely in the cold winter wind not far away.

The live camera immediately turned to Aldridge as Millwall players gathered on the sidelines to celebrate.

Perhaps, the live broadcast personnel must be looking forward to it in their hearts: Come on, Aldrich, have a passionate celebration, we will give you the best close-up!

However, Aldridge walked up to the players smoothly and stretched out his hand to pull one of them out.

Everyone saw Aldrich holding Neil's neck and walking back while whispering something in his ear.

The fourth official called full stoppage time at this time: 3 minutes.

Before the game restarted, Aldridge used the last substitution.

Neal comes on, replacing Henry, the hero of the goal.

The audience burst into applause, and Henry also raised his head and raised his hands above his head to applaud the audience.

When he came off the field, Aldridge put one hand in his pocket and stretched out the other. The master and apprentice high-fived each other and passed each other.

Millwall changed back to a 4-back formation, and due to Lampard's appearance, he and Nedved can still form a defensive barrier.

Manchester United had previously removed the Black Wind duo and replaced them with Irwin. Now Solskjaer is the only one left on the front line, without even a high point.

When Manchester United's first wave of attacks after kick-off was too anxious, Beckham's cross missed Solskjaer and was resolved by Millwall. In the following time, Millwall steadily controlled the ball and Manchester United

The frontcourt came to grab the ball, they passed the ball to the midfielder, and the midfielder controlled it. Manchester United's back line did not dare to rush forward, especially when they saw the frontcourt players being played.

When the time on the scoreboard reached 92:40, the fans' loud countdown sounds rang out from the Lion's Den Stadium.

5,4,3,2,1......

The referee was very reasonable and did not give any extra seconds, even if Millwall replaced someone in stoppage time.

Because in the past two minutes or so, Manchester United has not touched the ball. Schneider stepped on the ball and no one grabbed it on the sideline. Giggs gave up after being slipped back and forth. It was impossible for him to grab it by himself.

Drop the ball.

The audience burst into thunderous cheers when the whistle sounded.

"In the 17th round of the Premier League, Millwall's home game against Manchester United ended. The score was 5:4. Millwall scored three goals in the second half to reverse Manchester United! Congratulations to Millwall. The 21st consecutive game across the season

Victory, they once again refreshed their record in the five major leagues

Winning streak record, at the same time, we also give applause to Manchester United. This game between Millwall and Manchester United will inevitably become a classic and remain in the history of the Premier League forever. Hall and Sir Alex Ferguson, the two have long-standing rivalry.

, Hall won again. I think this victory brought Manchester United

The blow was no less than the tragic result of being beaten 0:6 by Millwall at Old Trafford, because Manchester United led from the first minute until the 81st minute, for 80 minutes, and

For a long time, they were leading by two goals, but in the end, they lost even one goal.

We didn’t even get a draw. English football should be grateful to these two teams. They are the mainstays of the Premier League and gave us such a wonderful game. Next, we will still focus on Millwall, because they are very

May continue to set new records. See you next week, friends.”

When the dust settled on the game, the players on the Millwall field raised their arms and shouted.

Aldridge turned to look at the players who stood up from the bench, smiled at them and said, "Go ahead and join the celebration."

These players also walked into the field and celebrated with their teammates on the field.

Some of the Manchester United players were full of sadness, some were gloomy, and even more were depressed. They were like bodies with their souls stripped away. They were unwilling to speak or look at the people next to them. They lowered their heads and said nothing.

Exiting the battlefield is like losing a life-and-death war and becoming a subjugated slave...

Aldrich walked up to Ferguson who was motionless with a nonchalant look and asked softly: "A drink?"

Ferguson came back to his senses, turned his head and stared at Aldridge for thirty seconds, his expression became calm and natural, he shook his head and walked into the tunnel without saying a word.

Aldridge turned around, applauded toward the stands, and then walked into the tunnel.

As soon as he walked in, the staff walked up to him nervously and whispered: "Just now, a Manchester United player kicked down the door of the visiting team's locker room. In order to avoid conflicts, should we call a few more security guards?"

Aldrich shook his head and said: "It's not necessary. Information about this matter has been sealed internally. Don't spread it out and make a big fuss."

Manchester United lost a game that they were absolutely unwilling to accept. The players wanted to vent their emotions. This is normal and has nothing to do with the game. Players from both teams did not behave out of the ordinary on the field.

It's better to do less than to do more. I don't know when the next time I encounter Manchester United will be, and the negative news will inevitably put Millwall in the spotlight. It is unacceptable to be involved in such trivial disputes.

At the post-match press conference, Ferguson used diplomatic language to deal with the media's criticism.

Reporters all believed that Manchester United had two chances to take a two-goal lead, but failed to make adjustments to maintain the victory, and pointed the finger at Ferguson.

After Manchester United experienced a game in which they lost a small goal but suffered a huge mental blow, Ferguson had to stabilize the internal morale, so he did not have the energy to argue with the media, so he used diplomatic rhetoric, which was bound to make Fleet Street worse.

But in this way, Ferguson has become a "victim" image. It doesn't matter what others think, but what do the Manchester United players think? They lost the game and their head coach was criticized by the outside world. This will actually strengthen the internal strength of Manchester United.

cohesion.

Aldridge also used diplomatic language in the interview, but his gesture drew praise from Fleet Street.

Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Millwall defeated Manchester United. What's the point of getting carried away?

Originally, from the outside world, this was a confrontation between defenders and challengers. Millwall was defending the throne, and Manchester United failed to challenge. Millwall should face this result peacefully and low-key. Because as a defender

, they will also face challengers one after another. If their mentality cannot be corrected, their position as king will not last long.

Millwall wants to keep a low profile, but Fleet Street won't allow it.

This is the most exciting and exciting game in the Premier League this season. It is also the game that all Europe is paying attention to before the start of the game.

The next day, the front page of the football section of The Times read: Millwall has won 21 consecutive league games. Congratulations to Millwall for successfully defending their Premier League title!

It is hard to imagine that in early December, a serious newspaper like The Times would use such a seemingly unrealistic headline.

The key point emphasized in the content is very convincing: There are 21 rounds left in the league. Millwall has 15 points more points than Manchester United and a goal difference of 12 points. If Manchester United can reverse, then it will have to be in the remaining 21 games.

Win 5 more games than Millwall in this round! Analysis of Millwall’s losses in a single season in the past

Times, Millwall's league loss statistics show that in 21 league rounds, they will only lose 2 games at most. In other words, if Millwall draws, the number of games Manchester United needs to win will increase. At the same time, Manchester United must first

Make sure you lose fewer games than Millwall, that is, you can only lose one game in 21 league rounds!

The Premier League title race is over.

All Premier League fans, and even fans around the world who occasionally watch Premier League news, are extremely convinced of this.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds United, they can compete for the runner-up place. Or, three Champions League seats.

The Daily Mail used the game process to report on the game.

"0:1,0:2,1:2,1:3,2:3,2:4,3:4,4:4,5:4! Millwall defeated Manchester United with one goal, ranking first in the league across the season

A 21-game winning streak was born!”

The unscrupulous "Sun" used the words of an interview with the famous Lineker as its headline.

"What is football? Football is a sport invented by the British. After 22 people on the field fought fiercely and fought hard for 90 minutes, Millwall finally won!"

Not to mention, the sales of "The Sun" skyrocketed that day, because British fans naturally bought a copy when they saw the title.

Very familiar!

This sentence was said by Lineker, and it is only one word different from another famous quote he said back then.

England has had a record of being invincible for more than 20 years. Because of this, Lineker once said: What is football? Football is a game invented by the British. After 22 people on the field fiercely fight for 90 minutes,

Finally, the sport was won by the Germans!

Today, he changed the German to Millwall.

Especially after witnessing this game in which Manchester United seemed unable to defeat Millwall, Lineker may have the same emotion as many fans: Will Millwall lose?

"The Sun" also listed the same type of comments.

What is the Premier League? The Premier League is composed of 20 English clubs. After 380 brutal and fierce battles, three teams were relegated, 16 teams competed for the league runner-up, and Millwall won the championship!

The impact of Millwall's 21-game winning streak was too strong, just like the impact of the Milan dynasty that swept the hearts of fans around the world.

The Guardian did not report the results of the match, and was unique in using a combined picture on the front page of the day's football news.

In the picture are the four coaches, Ferguson, Wenger, Vialli and O'Reilly.

The four selected coaches have the same close-up action, which is a momentary close-up of the four looking up.

There seems to be a subtext suggesting that the four coaches raised their heads and asked the sky: Where is the road?!

This is the result of the battle between these four coaches and Millwall in the new season.

At the bottom is a score number in bold black ink.

4:21

Millwall scored a total of 21 goals against these four teams and only conceded four.

Taking advantage of the attention and sensation brought by this game, Fleet Street is also building momentum for the Millwall Players' Ballon d'Or Award.

This is something that media across Europe have had to do in the past period of time.

Millwall breaks record, this is the biggest news.

Aldridge doesn't care much about the Ballon d'Or selection results. He will soon enter the Christmas Express, and he is starting to think about giving the players a "holiday."
