The second half has just begun. In the stands of the Lion King Stadium, many fans wearing red jerseys and clearly belonging to the Manchester United camp are already looking sad.
Some people held the back of their heads with their hands and kept shaking their heads, while others sighed. Even the fans who sang loudly to cheer for Manchester United looked a little depressed.
This crazy lion cannot be defeated at all!
Before the game started, Manchester United only needed to win one goal to win the championship.
Now, at least two goals must be scored.
And scoring goals, for today's Manchester United, seems like a luxury in the eyes of ordinary people, something that is elusive and elusive.
Manchester United obviously ran more actively than Millwall, while Millwall seemed to have rewritten the score without even trying its best. This blow was obviously heavy.
It has been four years since we won the league championship, and now it is the fifth year.
What's the problem?
Player?
Manchester United's 1992 golden generation plus famous players such as Stam and Keane, how much worse is the lineup than Millwall?
Coach?
Even if Manchester United fires Ferguson, who will they hire? The young coach from the opposite side has swept across Europe!
Manchester United players gritted their teeth and worked hard on the field. The tactical adjustments made by Ferguson in the second half seemed to have some effect.
At least, it is much better than the first half when the center was unable to penetrate, crosses from the wing were cleared by the opponent, and it was difficult to even find shooting opportunities.
Once chaos occurs in the restricted area, although there is a suspicion of trying luck, if you don't try luck, you will really have no choice but to surrender.
The entire Manchester United team is resolutely implementing Ferguson's tactical adjustments, hoping that the team can score goals quickly and bravely.
However, things on the football field will never go according to one side's wishes, especially when you do not have an absolute dominance over the game. Manchester United was relatively passive today and was forced to attack due to the situation. The space in the backcourt is relatively large.
It's very dangerous to have a conversation.
In the first half, Millwall put few troops into attack. In the second half, they made changes.
Pirlo and Nedvěd alternated forward, Scholes and Keane were positioned in front and back, and Keane also had to follow Klose. Especially the goal conceded in the first half forced Keane to stay in contact with the defense.
With such a distance, it would be extremely difficult for Scholes to cover the entire central area of the court.
Nedved and Pirlo. Who goes forward?
Manchester United didn't expect it, and Millwall itself didn't have a fixed routine. Whoever has a good chance and whoever has a wide space in front of them will go!
In the 56th minute of the game, Pirlo handed the ball to Nedved after organizing the ball. Scholes was far away to chase, which took a lot of time.
Nedvěd dribbled the ball all the way forward, passed the midfield and passed the ball short to Klose who was retreating to meet him, who then passed it to Henry.
Henry moved laterally with the ball, seemingly trying his old trick again, forcing Neville to immediately come over to block the inside line, but Henry forced the ball to start the bottom line. After bringing the ball to the bottom line, he hit back at the top of the arc in the penalty area, the first follow-up point.
Nedvěd met him and hit the goal with a volley.
Barthez bravely made a flying save to deny the powerful and heavy shot, and huge sighs were heard in the stands.
When Henry went down, he led Manchester United's back line back. When Nedvěd followed up with a long shot, Keane also rushed towards him. At this time, there was a vacuum in Manchester United's defense near the penalty area line.
When Barthez blocked the ball, the ball landed right here.
, Klose stopped the ball on his chest and took a long shot without waiting for the ball to hit the ground. The ball hit Brown and was refracted. Neville was caught off guard and was hit by the refracted ball again. His thigh blocked the ball.
The ball landed on him a meter away from his body.
With all eyes on it, the fans watched this wave of Millwall attacks with bated breath.
Neville immediately stepped forward to make a rescue. But as soon as he took a step, someone rushed to the ball and hit the goal with a heavy kick.
Henry!
Thanks to Neville for stopping the ball!
It was only about 10 yards away from the goal. Although it was not directly opposite the goal, the angle was enough for Henry to confidently send the ball into the net. As soon as Barthez got up, he saw a shadow passing in front of his eyes. The next second, the lion
The King's Stadium erupted in cheers, and the blue ocean of the stands was like boiling water.
"Millwall wins again! Hahaha, Manchester United wanted to create chaos in Millwall's penalty area, but the chaos in their own penalty area allowed their opponents to seize the opportunity. Nedved shot, and Barthez blocked it beautifully.
Klose shot again, the angle was too right, but his shot was very powerful and hit Stam.
It was refracted, and then Neville blocked it and gave Henry an assist! No one could have blocked Henry's shot. Manchester United is getting further and further away from the league championship. Now, there are still more than half of the game left.
Within hours, they have to score at least three goals to take away the championship trophy at the Lion King Stadium!"
Henry's goal completely brought the excitement of the Lion King Stadium to the highest level!
Taking a one-goal lead and Manchester United scoring two goals here, no one will find it difficult to do so.
But with a two-goal lead and Manchester United trying to score three, not many people would believe that Manchester United can do it!
The fans in the stands were dancing and jumping, shouting Millwall's name and Henry's name.
On the sidelines, Millwall's coaching staff and substitute players also rushed out to celebrate passionately.
Aldrich's expression was indescribably complicated, twisted and wild, excited and flamboyant. He jumped twice on the spot, and extended his index finger with his right hand to point at the place where he stepped.
"This is the Lion King Stadium! This is the territory of our crazy lions! Since the Premier League championship trophy is placed here, he will not let others take it away!"
Aldrich roared ferociously, and then kept waving his arms to signal for the stadium to cheer louder, louder!
He turned his head and shouted towards the stands: "Let damn Manchester United know who the hell is the boss of England!"
The fans in the stands were very cooperative, and their cheers became louder and louder. Even when Manchester United was preparing to kick off, the entire stadium seemed to be in riot!
"Manchester United! Who is the boss in England?"
"Manchester United! Who is the boss in England?"
All the Lions fans forgot about their feelings and took the trouble to repeat the same sentence over and over again. It was as loud as if a god descended over the stadium and issued a majestic questioning sound!
Manchester United is known as the Red Devils and has always been said to have a devilish nature, but the Wild Lions also have their own wild nature.
When the passion breaks out, no matter the players on the field, the coaches on the sidelines, or even the fans in the stands, a primitive wildness similar to that of a beast burst out!
Ferguson faced the shocking questioning of the whole audience and tried to encourage his disciples on the sidelines. The game is not over yet, and there is still more than half an hour. In a football match, anything is possible.
The most important thing is whether you have the determination to create miracles!
But the Manchester United players were obviously distracted by the momentum of the stadium. Ruud Ruud kept his head down and didn't know what he was thinking. After all, he had not experienced many such crucial games and had been playing in Millwall.
As a substitute, he is new to Manchester United. It is his first time to experience such an important "final".
Keane stepped forward to boost the team's morale. It's hard to say how effective it was, but the Manchester United players still faced the rest of the game with their heads held high.
Three minutes after Manchester United kicked off again, the momentum in the stadium subsided slightly, but at this time, the fans were still cheering for the team.
Aldrich loosened his tie and his expression softened slightly, with a cruel smile on his lips.
Manchester United may not have realized what the key defensive problem was when they conceded the second goal.
Beckham played as a defensive midfielder. The last time they played against each other, he did cause trouble for Millwall, and Millwall also had Ronaldinho on the field at that time.
Before today's game, regardless of whether Aldrich's guess was correct or not, he was preparing Manchester United to let Beckham continue to play as a midfielder to relieve Keane's pressure and at the same time strengthen the protection of the back line.
The first half was closed, relying on the trident to get to the black. One purpose is to force Beckham to play back as a full midfielder, otherwise? Millwall pays more attention to defense, and Beckham launches long passes from behind.
What's the use? Manchester United defends 3 from 5 in the backcourt and needs to add Beckham. Should we attack?
When Beckham came up, in the second half, he was in his accustomed position and lost his vigilance.
At this time, when Nedved or Pirlo stepped forward, they regained the impact and advantage they had when playing against Manchester United.
Manchester United was two goals behind and had to chase three goals to win the championship. At this moment, there was nothing to worry about. They fought with great momentum on the field and suppressed Millwall. No matter what tactics they used, they played and kicked.
To score three would be an absolute miracle.
And this miracle requires them to invest more and more offensive troops!
The full-backs made crazy assists, and Keane didn't care whether he could restrain Klose. Manchester United's soldiers were pressing the situation. As long as Millwall was crushed, there was still hope of winning the championship. As for what to do if they couldn't be crushed, what else could they do?
?Anyway, falling behind by two goals is a "fifth consecutive Asian defeat"!
Manchester United plays the ball very quickly, trying to push the rhythm to the limit, but the offensive methods are still the same. If you want to achieve exquisite cooperation in Millwall's dense defensive zone, you must either pass the ball superbly or Millwall
There was a serious leak in the defense line.
It just so happens that in Aldridge's many years of training to hone the defensive line, team defense relies on cooperation between the brain and teammates, rather than relying solely on one-on-one. Therefore, Millwall's pure defensive players are in the European transfer market.
None of them can make it into the top ten in terms of value evaluation, but when combined together, they performed very well at Millwall.
Stable, league, and Champions League, as long as they are the main force, the number of goals conceded by the defensive line will not rank among the top three or five in Europe, but they are definitely among the top six to top ten, and they dominate the crowd with absolutely terrifying offensive firepower.
Adding the two together, this team is not known for its defense, but it has the defensive strength to support the offensive line and ensure the record.
In the 65th minute, Neville came up with an assist and had a one-two with Beckham. After reaching the bottom, Beckham still made a pass. Materazzi headed the ball to the back point to clear the ball. Pirlo controlled the landing point from the outside. Seeing Skol
Si came to press, Pirlo waited for the opponent to take the ball and turned around at the moment when the opponent took the shot. Scholes grabbed it again, and Pirlo's ball had already been passed forward!
Keane was running back, and he was a little far away from Klose. He did not expect that Scholes could not delay Pirlo, but instead allowed Pirlo to pass the ball steadily. This ball was not
A through ball is a long-distance ground ball passed to Klose, and it gives Klose a certain amount of advance.
This kick could not form an assist, but it had a wonderful significance. In less than 3 seconds, Millwall's fast break not only passed the half-time, but two seconds later, Klose crossed the right wing.
Larsson had already caught the ball on the edge of the Manchester United penalty area.
Counting the 2 seconds it took for Pirlo to stop the ball and turn around, there are a total of 7 seconds. From the backcourt to the frontcourt, the crazy lion is approaching!
Larson stopped the ball, looked at the situation in the penalty area, and chose to pass the ball.
Henry initially rushed straight to the center, but when Stam went to guard Larson and Brown thought he was sticking to Henry and looked towards Larson, Henry moved to the left in a sneaky way.
When Larsson's cross came, Henry felt a little uncomfortable. The ball was fast and he had only two options, either to head the ball, but heading the ball was not his specialty.
So, he chose to use his feet.
But at that height, it was completely impossible to hit a volley and prone shot unless he took two steps back, but it was too late!
Henry decisively half-turned, turned his back to the goal, and jumped up on the spot, making a move that stunned everyone in the stadium, whether it was the Red Devils or the Lions fans.
