Thanks to "The Thief" and "I Am the Wilderness" for the reward!
--------------------------
Controversies and scandals have broken out in Italian sports arenas, which have become commonplace in recent years.
Veron was involved in a nationality dispute. In September, the ruling ruled that Veron was a non-European player and had to occupy the foreign aid quota in Serie A.
This has put the Lazio club in a very difficult situation. They have a lot of foreign players and have spent a lot of money on signings for many years. In almost the past two years, they have spent about 100 million pounds on transfers in the summer. The high-level foreign players they bought cannot be left idle.
?
Of course, with Veron's status in Lazio, even if there is room for foreign aid, it will not be his turn.
Ferguson only intends to follow up on Lazio's movements. There is news that Lazio's parent company CIRIO is in financial crisis. The brilliance brought by Lazio's large-scale signings is obvious, but the club's unilateral income cannot fill the gap in financial expenditure.
In this context, selling stars in exchange for cash compensation is the club's only option.
US$75 million is too high. If it can be lowered, Manchester United can take a risk.
The thoughts in his mind just flashed for a short time. After all kinds of information were gathered together, Ferguson had the idea of further transforming the team.
With 20 minutes left in the game, Ferguson and Aldridge frequently directed the team to fight through body movements and words on the sidelines. In the live broadcast footage, the tit-for-tat battle between the two coaches frequently stole the spotlight.
The atmosphere at Old Trafford has become unprecedentedly tense.
This is only the 19th round of the Premier League, but it is the biggest obstacle for the two teams to compete for the championship. The confidence boost and spiritual encouragement brought by defeating the opponent are indescribable.
Manchester United really fought tooth and nail, and Millwall showed no sign of weakness.
Giggs broke through on the left wing and was blocked by Schneider and Pirlo and fell to the ground. Van Nistelrooy caught the ball in the penalty area and was blocked by Materazzi and fell to the ground. He faced Materazzi.
After complaining for a while, Materazzi responded by saying that the opponent was diving. Solskjaer was intercepted after being collided by Zambrotta on the right side of the penalty area. The referee indicated that there was no foul, and Old Trafford was booed.
Millwall's players on the offensive end were also in dire straits. After Larsson was fouled by Sylvester twice in a row, the opponent received a yellow card. Keane almost injured Klose with his tackle. Henry was
During a breakthrough, Neville blocked the forward path with his arm, but the referee did not call a foul.
Aldridge and Ferguson both expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's decision on the sidelines.
While the scene was intense, every threatening attack made people feel frightened.
Ruud van Nistelrooy got an opportunity in the small penalty area, and his shot from a small angle had already deceived Keller's center of gravity. It was Southgate who flew to shovel the ball from the goal line to the bottom line, and Klose received Larsson's pass.
Brown's header hit the goal, but it hit the crossbar and bounced off.
Whether Ferguson's heart could bear this scene, Aldrich didn't know. Anyway, although his heart was extremely exciting, he was getting more and more excited.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Millwall launched a strong counterattack into the Manchester United penalty area. Ronaldinho broke away from Scholes and broke through Beckham, and completed a one-two with Larsson who cut inside in front of the penalty area to break through the base.
En's defensive line, after this series of wonderful performances, Henry and Klose both used their movements to help him contain Stam and Brown. Ronaldinho dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area, but his last shot was missed by Barthez.
Courageous solution.
Not only did Barthez pounce in the right direction, but he also held the ball firmly with both hands. It was a world-class performance!
Huge applause erupted from the stands at Old Trafford. The commentator was still marveling at Ronaldinho's series of performances besides shooting and praising Barthez's bravery. Manchester United also quickly launched a counterattack.
Barthez got up from the ground holding the ball, and Millwall's offensive players immediately retreated, marking people where they should and returning to their positions.
But Barthez's hand-thrown ball is obviously faster, and people can never outrun the ball.
Beckham ran forward after Barthez made a successful save. When his starting position was further back, he had a lot of space forward when switching from defense to offense. At the same time, his sprinting fitness was not a problem. This is also why he
Discovered after adapting to the England national team's tactical system.
If he is still a full midfielder, he will have to run long distances to return to defense. The sprint back and forth will definitely be a test for his physical fitness. However, his starting position is far back, and his defense does not require medium and long distance sprints. So when he counterattacks, he
Moving forward, the sprint becomes more threatening, of course, provided there is no one blocking you in front.
It just so happened that Ronaldinho hadn't returned to his position yet, so he moved forward without any interference.
Barthez's hand throw was thrown in front of Beckham. He accelerated all the way without stopping to stop the ball and turn around, so the threat of this counterattack was impossible to ignore.
Beckham dribbled the ball forward, and after passing the midfield, he leaned towards the center. In front of Pirlo and Neal's defensive line, Beckham and his teammate Giggs completed an unexpected cooperation.
It was surprising that Beckham went to the middle, and it was also surprising that Giggs gave up the wing and moved to the middle to act as a connecting point.
In this attack, Manchester United abandoned the traditional wing attack and concentrated on pressing the center. This may also be directly related to the decline in the quality of Millwall's defensive midfielder, which changed as the opponent changed.
Giggs had better control of the ball than Beckham. After receiving the ball, he dribbled forward and broke through Pirlo. When Neal moved over to press, Giggs crossed into the penalty area and was trapped in the tight relationship between Pirlo and Neal.
Scholes, who was under double-team marking, was suddenly unmarked.
Seeing this loophole, Southgate was already rushing forward to block Scholes' path. When he started, he pointed to the position behind him to Zambrotta, meaning to let Zambrotta
The strategy of quickly shrinking the restricted area and adapting to emergencies is no problem.
But Scholes didn't give Southgate any chance to defend at all!
He didn't even stop playing the ball. He followed the path of the ball rolling from left to right and took a step to the right. After adjusting to his right foot, he directly swung his leg and hit the goal with a heavy kick!
About 30 yards away, the angle of the ball shot by Scholes was not too tricky. But the speed of the ball was astonishing. Keller jumped on the spot to save it. As a result, he missed the ball by a palm's length and watched the ball hit like a cannonball.
Inside the goal.
"Scholes! Scholes! Wonderful world wave! Manchester United leads Millwall 3:2 again. This shot is really earth-shattering. Keller has nothing to do. There is no shortage of games between Millwall and Manchester United.
Scores of goals, and there are many wonderful goals!”
Old Trafford was in a state of flux.
The Red Devils fans were jumping for joy in the stands. After Scholes scored, he initially ran towards the sidelines without changing his expression, but as he ran he started laughing wildly with Giggs.
Ferguson, an old man, raised his fists in the air in a passionate celebration that seemed nondescript.
Aldrich touched his forehead and smiled bitterly in his heart.
Isn't it time to find a top-notch goalkeeper as a substitute?
Scholes' long-range shot scored, of course it was wonderful.
But in fact, his long-range shot is not only fast, but also not at a tricky angle. If Keller is calm enough, he can move a step to the left and then make a save, then this ball can be saved. At least Aldrich is sure.
Bute was able to make a save, but if he was hit in the blind spot, there would be nothing to say.
It is an exaggeration to insist that there must be competition for the goalkeeper position. Because goalkeepers must maintain their condition in the game for a long time, and the game is very important. Two people compete? There is only one position, one person plays, and the other person just relies on training. How is it possible?
Competitive? Unless the main player makes major mistakes in a row or is in a bad state for a period of time.
So if Butt himself is fine, Aldridge never considers the goalkeeper position, but today's unexpected situation made him realize that Millwall should have an excellent goalkeeper substitute with at least top-level experience.
The third goal conceded was a problem with Keller's own ability. If he were a first-class goalkeeper, the probability of saving it would be at least 65%.
But the second goal he conceded was his mistake. It was obvious that his mental quality was not strong enough. He was suddenly substituted and was not fully prepared. It was such an important game. As soon as he came on the field, his mind was probably still buzzing.
Therefore, the team needs an experienced goalkeeper, especially an excellent goalkeeper substitute with experience in major competitions. In this way, in an unexpected situation, the experience will allow him to quickly adapt to the environment, and at least he will not panic.
There were less than 10 minutes left in the game including stoppage time. Ferguson made a big wave of his hand and told the team to retreat and hold on to the victory.
Aldrich has no other choice, attack with all his strength and fight with his last resort!
Many Red Devils fans clasped their hands on their chests. On Christmas Eve, what are their New Year's wishes?
Let the final time of this game go faster, God. Let the time pass faster. Let the game end quickly, God!
Manchester United's formation retreats to strengthen the third-line connection, and the midfield will form a huge interception force. At least, there will be more defenders. Ferguson also replaced Ruud van Nistelrooy and replaced him with Butt.
Aldridge gestured on the sidelines to ask the full-backs to press up and use the width of the court as much as possible to attack, thus tearing apart Manchester United's defense.
Ronaldinho and Pirlo were in the middle, plus Zambrotta and Schneider who came up with assists. The four of them seemed to play magic samba football. They stopped and escaped with their personal skills, broke through at the right time, and their personal abilities were outstanding.
The local effect is very good.
When Manchester United strengthened its defense and weakened the offensive threat, Millwall also put more players into attack, making the confrontation between the two teams more intuitive.
In the 87th minute of the game, Larsson suddenly changed positions with Henry. Larsson received Pirlo's penetrating ball from the left in front of the penalty area, moved the ball horizontally, and then took a long shot.
"Larson, it's actually a hanging door!"
The ball shot from Larsson's feet seemed to be full of imagination. It circled the head of the Manchester United defender with an obvious arc of rotation and flew straight to the far corner of the goal.
Bang, the ball hit the top of the goalpost and bounced out.
Barthez had already raised his hands and surrendered, but Millwall was a bit unlucky. The ball bounced out, but Henry rushed forward and stopped the ball with his chest, and then took a shot. Barthez made a save this time.
Henry also played well, but Barthez blocked the ball and was then cleared by Stam.
The Red Devils fans were able to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, and some fans simply didn't dare to watch it. It was so heart-stirring.
Aldridge did not give up at all on the sidelines, and he even made a gesture with his hands pressed down to tell the team not to be anxious or anxious.
Many teams blindly attack when they are behind in the final stage, even the richest teams are not exempt from this practice. Most of the consequences of doing so are failure to score goals.
Millwall has the offensive means to make the offense a threat. At this time, patience and composure are even more needed. If they become anxious, it won't matter how much time is left in the game.
The game has reached full-time injury time.
Millwall has completely controlled the game, not only exerting pressure on the offensive end, controlling the outside shots, but also creating opportunities for secondary attacks.
At the final moment of the game, the atmosphere became so depressing that it was impossible to breathe.
