The recent frenzy of public opinion created by the British media has left Aldrich dumbfounded.
Millwall is portrayed as a cruel and ruthless ruling class, while Aldridge is portrayed as a dictator who covers the sky with one hand!
What about other Premier League teams?
They have become a vulnerable group that is oppressed and struggling to survive.
Now, under the call of the media.
It's time to resist!
It’s time to overthrow the “tyrant”!
It's very strange that Aldrich has another nickname.
tyrant!
Well, this tyrant obviously has different meanings from Van Gaal's tyrant. Van Gaal's tyrant is due to his military management methods, while Aldrich's tyrant is interpreted as ruthlessly robbing others of their championship dreams.
When the Charity Shield began, Aldrich was in a state of laughter and laughter at the press conference, denying, denying, denying.
"No, this statement is very unfair! I will consider hiring a lawyer to sue you media people who have no professional ethics!"
"Millwall's success was not given to us by others, nor was it obtained by us through unethical means. Why should we be blamed? Is it because we are too successful?"
"Don't ask me about my greatest achievements, I'm only 24 years old!"
It sounded like Aldrich was at war with these reporters, but on the contrary, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Tomorrow's Charity Shield match against Manchester United, what do you think? If Millwall loses, will it be a signal?"
"Signal? What signal? We lost the Charity Shield, so we will lose the league championship? The league has not been played yet. Please, the Charity Shield is the Charity Shield. No result will send a signal. You are overthinking it.
"
...
On the day of the Charity Shield, Millwall played against Manchester United at Wembley.
Lions fans are frustrated.
Having just said goodbye to Wembley last season, this stadium has a more special emotion for them.
But as soon as they left, Arsenal reached an agreement with the Football Association to play in the European War, and Arsenal would use Wembley as their home court!
Wenger actually disagreed in his heart, but considering that playing at Wembley could double the ticket price, economic considerations trumped reality, so he had no choice but to compromise.
In addition to playing domestic cup finals, Wembley is usually the home of the national team. Millwall borrowed it for a period of time. The Lions fans have wonderful memories here. Now Arsenal borrows it again, and the time is seamlessly connected.
It always gives people the illusion that the girlfriend I slept with yesterday was immediately seduced by someone else today...
Despite these involuntary emotions, the fans are still very enthusiastic.
Playing Manchester United is just what I want!
Aldridge walked into the field before the game and shook hands with Ferguson. The old Scottish man looked unhappy.
The noisy public opinion in Fleet Street made him very uncomfortable.
It seems that the outside world has decided that Manchester United is one step behind Millwall, and the damn "Sun" is promoting Aldridge's ability to compete with the 19 Premier League coaches.
I spent half my life in the military and had numerous honors, but today, I was trampled under the feet of a 24-year-old young man. It seemed that the foundation he had built at Manchester United was instantly worthless!
Comparing one person to another makes people angry!
Throughout the summer, Manchester United has been very active in preparing for the game. Ferguson cannot swallow this breath and wants to fight Millwall to the end from the beginning of the new season!
Aldrich's mood was complicated.
He actually wanted to laugh at Ferguson.
Aldridge didn't feel bad about poaching Richardson from Millwall, he just wanted to give him a few words.
As a result, Ferguson first looked at him with a look of bitterness and hatred, and Aldrich found it difficult to provoke him.
"Haha, Martin, did you see Ferguson's expression when he faced Hall?"
"Of course I saw it. Manchester United scored 88 points last season, which was the highest score scored by Manchester United in the entire Premier League season after the restructuring of 20 teams. The result was that they lost to Millwall. They continued to win in the second half to attack Millwall.
Er. I've been on the period since the end of February, probably.
When Millwall collapsed, but they worked hard to the end, not only did they not see Millwall lose their chain, but they lined up at Old Trafford to welcome Millwall's successful defense of the title! That was simply rubbing salt into Manchester United's wounds, Ferguson
Can your face look good?"
"Hahaha, Ferguson said that Millwall is still the favorite to win the Premier League in the new season, but judging from the summer preparations, Manchester United has huge ambitions for the new season. Ferguson is well versed in psychological warfare. He is now making Millwall a
focus."
"Look at the starting lineup of the two teams today. Both teams are playing with all their main players. Well, Millwall left Makelele in the summer and was replaced by Gattuso. There are no other changes. The formation is still 433. Manchester United's side is with
There were three changes last season. The first was the goalkeeper position, with Barthez replacing Bosnich, young Brown as central defender, and Sylvester replacing Erwin as left back."
Aldridge returned to the coaching bench and sat down, quietly observing the game.
As long as Manchester United's framework remains unchanged, basically there won't be any big changes in their style of play.
While Millwall is listed as the top team in Europe, the outside world seems to have ignored a very important fact: Millwall still has room for improvement and is still improving!
Players like Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Zambrotta, and Henry still have room for improvement.
"York's shot! Unfortunately, it went wide. Millwall organized the attack patiently. Today, Millwall's attack seemed to be a bit stuck, and they just forced it to beat Brown."
"This is natural. Brown is young and inexperienced. He is the weakest link in Manchester United's back line."
In this aspect of defense, if you defend successfully ten times, it may be ruined by one oversight or mistake.
Under heavy pressure, Brown made a mistake in the 33rd minute of the first half when he was beaten intensively by Henry and Nedvěd.
Henry took the ball with his back and knocked back, and Nedvěd stepped in and carried Keane forward.
Brown is messy, should he grab it or not?
Seeing that Keane failed to steal the ball from Nedvěd, Brown still chose to step forward to support him. As a result, he moved and Nedvěd passed through. Henry turned offside and then pushed the ball from a small angle into the blind corner and penetrated the national team teammate Barthez.
of ten fingers.
"Wow, Martin, I'm not surprised by this goal at all. It's normal for Henry to get such an opportunity to put the ball into the goal, but the process is very interesting. Keane, Nedvěd, haha, whenever Mir
When Wall played against Manchester United, the collision between the two was the focus. This time, Keane failed to defeat Nedvěd."
Keane's defense is strong. But it doesn't mean that he can succeed every time he defends. Otherwise, he would be a god.
Especially his contest with Nedvěd. The two were evenly matched, with each other winning and losing. It has always been a major spectacle in the Premier League.
It is different from the collision between Keane and Vieira. After all, both of them are located in the midfield and have a wide range of activities, but direct collisions are not frequent. People often compare the two because they are in similar positions.
Keane and Nedvěd happen to be the two people who compete directly in offense and defense.
Just now, Keane directly used force to fight against Nedved when he went forward to get the ball. As a result, he failed to knock down Nedved. Nedved's center of gravity was a little off, and he took the ball and distanced himself from Keane. Keane then
Chasing from behind, there is no other way but to foul. His position is no longer advantageous. Now that the team has lost the ball, his only regret is that he did not foul.
Watching Millwall's players celebrate the goal, Keane helplessly spread his hands towards Brown.
He failed to guard Nedved, so it's hard to blame Brown too much, but Brown lost his position so easily, which is really unacceptable.
The junior Brown felt aggrieved. There was Henry in the middle opposite him, and he came up to support him. Stam should be filling in behind him.
Stam was almost numb to this kind of losing the ball. If he could avoid losing the ball by filling in, then it would be very simple. But when Nedvěd got the ball, Larsson cut inside and ran away.
Elvester is obviously behind Larsson. If he goes to fill in the position and Henry knocks across, Larsson will almost be able to hit an empty goal.
Ferguson chewed gum more frequently on the sidelines.
After all, when facing a top attack group, you must have a top defense.
Stam is fine, but he lacks a good central defender, a central defender who is quasi-world-class or above. Is it easy to find one all over the world? It’s not too difficult, but it’s hard to find!
Ferguson wanted to try to use both wings to press Millwall today, but it turned out that his pre-match tactical arrangement ended in failure.
Brown's weakness in this point triggered a huge chain reaction. Keane and Neville had to help him, and the frontcourt support was not enough. As a result, Ronaldinho pressed the Manchester United right on the left. Beckham completely changed.
He became a sapper and did the dirty work in the backcourt.
Gattuso himself does not have the strong characteristics of Makelele in predicting, precise and powerful interceptions, but through his wide range of running and tough and decisive defense, he either succeeds or commits a foul. He has become a troublemaker, disrupting Manchester United's attack in the middle.
The world was turned upside down and suffered setbacks one after another.
This was originally a Charity Shield friendly match, but Ferguson stood on the sidelines and couldn't stand it anymore.
Manchester United has maintained a record of 442 under him for many years. Although the lineup is clearly considered to be the top in Europe, it was miserably suppressed by Millwall.
Pirlo, who controls the rhythm and plays the ball accurately, is more difficult to restrict than before. Millwall's midfield advantage is too huge.
This is not just about the players' personal abilities. Originally, the advantage formed by their three midfielders, Gattuso, Pirlo, and Nedved, in the middle is more obvious than the positions of Scholes and Keane.
Whether to cooperate with passing and controlling, or to cut formations and counter-attack when defending, Millwall's advantage in the midfield is clear at a glance.
Ferguson began to brew Manchester United's tactical changes in his mind.
It can't be changed anymore.
Otherwise, as long as they play against Millwall, they will be at a disadvantage in the midfield and the initiative will be completely handed over to their opponents.
How to change it specifically needs to be carefully considered. Now, at best, it is a test of the players' personal abilities.
Millwall gave Ferguson a lot of face. Whatever he wanted, Millwall gave him whatever he wanted.
Brown, I wonder if there will be nightmares after this game.
He was passed by Ronaldinho twice within 10 minutes, and the second time he collided with Neville in an awkward manner.
Unfortunately, Ronaldinho did not bring his shooting boots. He dribbled the ball inside twice and got a chance to shoot, but failed to send the ball into the goal. Once it was knocked away, and once it was too good and was caught by Barthez.
At the end of the first half, Millwall took a one-goal lead, and the Manchester United generals walked towards the tunnel filled with resentment.
Aldrich also walked to the locker room with his head lowered.
The specific plan before the game was to beat Brown, which is understandable. He pinched the seven inches and hit him to death.
The effect was pretty good, but of course, he also had a bit of malicious pleasure in his heart: It would be best to torture Brown until he has a psychological shadow, and he will feel weak when he meets Millwall.
But Millwall really can't stay the same in the new season.
They are the target of public criticism, the public enemy of Europe, and the whole of Europe is studying them. If they remain unchanged, this advantage may be eliminated bit by bit in a targeted manner.
He is thinking about the situation on the field and making some detailed changes based on Gattuso's strengths.
