070 Indestructible tyrants, why do you rule the roost?
The South Stand of Old Trafford is where the television broadcast cameras are located. It has the most VIP boxes in the entire stadium. At the same time, live game commentators representing different TV stations and live broadcast platforms are also here.
In the Sky TV room, the on-site commentators were two veterans of British football, who will also be the most popular commentators in British football in the future, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray. Even though they are not as famous now as they will be in the future,
Their professional commentary can be widely praised, and even get the reputation of the world's best commentary team in the future.
The two of them looked not so good today.
During the new season's live TV commentary plan, the two were somewhat confused and angry by the tasks assigned by the TV station's top management.
Sky TV doesn't know what's wrong with it, but it actually selects the matches on the live match day. In the 38 rounds of the league, in addition to famous matches, such as the Merseyside Derby, England Derby, Manchester United vs Arsenal, or the North London Derby, etc.
Waiting for the high-profile games, on other match days, one team obviously received special attention: Millwall!
The instructions issued by Sky TV executives are all written in the live broadcast plan. Millwall is the team that has received the most live broadcasts after Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal!
Not only that, but when Millwall games are broadcast live, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor must provide live commentary!
Whether the game is included in the key live broadcasts will directly affect the team's broadcast income. The Premier League broadcast revenue is partly based on the team's performance, partly distributed evenly, and partly based on the number of live broadcasts of the game.
Millwall's income in this part has obviously exceeded that of most middle and lower-tier teams in the Premier League.
After all, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are part-time workers. If the company arranges this, they can only follow it. However, if Millwall's game is boring and affects the ratings, then they will have the confidence to challenge the senior management.
Of course they didn't know that Barnett drove Murdoch crazy!
Murdoch now regrets every day why he did not stop the Hall family from buying a stake in Sky TV. In the summer, Barnett said in no uncertain terms that Sky TV would take care of Millwall and provide top commentators.
We must serve Millwall in the best time period and in terms of exposure.
Murdoch and Barnett had a quarrel. As a result, Barnett acted ruthlessly and directly issued an ultimatum. Don't you agree? It's okay to disagree. Then don't blame me for intervening in the management of Sky TV. Barnett has shares, but before
As an investor, he is the boss and with the weight of his shares, if he wants to make trouble on the Sky TV board of directors, it will be enough to make Murdoch restless, especially since Barnett is an authentic British person, and Murdoch
Dok is a migrant.
Aldrich didn't know this before, and only informed Barnett after everything was done. Aldrich didn't have any opinion other than to accept it.
Increasing broadcast revenue is secondary, but the rapid increase in popularity is the key.
Television broadcasts are an important way to influence the popularity of a team. Of course, fans will like professional commentators. Otherwise, no matter how good Millwall's game is, a commentator without any passion in commentary will not arouse the interest of the TV audience.
As for whether Millwall can play well, Aldridge is at least confident that it will definitely be more interesting than flying long passes.
When the players from both sides lined up to enter the field, the live broadcast on Sky TV also started.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Old Trafford. My name is Martin Taylor, and my commentator on the game today is Andy Gray. Hi, Andy."
"Hi, Martin, today is the first round of the new Premier League season. Manchester United, which missed the last round of last season's reversal of Blackburn and defended the Premier League, faced Millwall, who performed amazingly in the English League last season, at home. Manchester United coach Ferguson said in the new
The team has undergone a major overhaul this season and they have a young lineup in the new season. Andy, what do you think of this?"
"I believe many fans have heard Alan Hansen's comments. He said that Ferguson could not win any championship with a group of children. Interestingly, the average age of Millwall's starting lineup is younger than that of Manchester United.
Len Hansen also commented on Millwall. He said that he hoped that the children in Millwall would not be scared to wet their pants by adults’ football. Haha, I don’t know if Millwall will be scared to wet their pants, but I have no idea.
There is no doubt that Millwall surprised other English League teams last season. Today's game is a contest between two young teams. Compared with Millwall's overall youth, Manchester United's lineup seems more reasonable. Ferguson hopes to use
Complete the construction of a new generation of Red Devils in a way that brings the old with the new."
"Yes, let's see today how young Aldridge will lead his team to perform at Old Trafford. Let me introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. The home team Manchester United wears the traditional red jersey and white
Shorts, starting goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel, right back: Gary Neville, centre-back: Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, left-back: Denis Irwin. Right midfielder: Big
Defender - Beckham, partnered by Roy Keane and Nicky Butt in the middle of the midfield, left midfielder: Ryan Giggs, forward: Andy Cole and Brian McClair. Manchester United's arrangement
The formation is still the traditional 442, because of Cantona's suspension and Mark Hughes' transfer to Chelsea in July. On the front line, we saw that Ferguson used Brian McClair, who had declined in form in the past two years.
He bought Manchester United's top striker for £850,000. He played 40 times in the league last season but only scored 5 goals. Just three years ago, he could score more than 20 goals in a season."
"Manchester United's forward line is worrying, so let's take a look at Millwall's lineup. They wear the traditional blue jersey. Starting goalkeeper: Casserly Keller, right back: Lilian Thuram, center
Defender: Jaap Stam, Gareth Southgate, left back: Lucas Neal, right midfielder: Bernd Schneider, midfielder: Claude Makelele,
Pavel Nedved, left midfielder: Robert Pires, the two forwards are Henrik Larsson and David Trezeguet, who made opponents fearful in the English League last season. They teamed up last season
Scored 66 goals! They are the king of efficiency in the English League One, but I don’t know if they can maintain their scoring streak when they come to the Premier League.”
"Okay, viewers, the first round of the 1995/96 English Premier League is about to begin. We saw that Millwall will kick off first in the first half, attacking from the left to the right of the camera."
Players from both sides stood up to prepare for kick-off.
Aldrich stood on the sidelines with a firm look on his face, looking in the direction of the center circle and murmuring: "Come on, boys!"
Although it was only three months after his nineteenth birthday, he lived for almost fifty years. In his eyes, Millwall's players were young men.
As the chief referee who has been in English football since 1974, Paul Dugin has a high prestige. He is the chief referee in today's game.
As he blew his whistle, the match between Manchester United and Millwall officially began.
Trezeguet flicked the ball under his feet, and Larsson passed it back. The two forwards quickly ran forward. The ball returned to Nedvěd's feet, and the opponent's two forwards, Cole and McClair, also
Already pounced on him.
Nedved calmly passed the ball back to Makelele. The two Manchester United forwards continued to press forward. Makelele kicked the ball forward and easily avoided the two Manchester United forwards through cooperation with Nedved.
The forward's pressing.
Nedvěd turned around, and Keane, a strong player not far away, also pressed up. He directly passed the ball diagonally, and the ball rolled to the right. Schneider, who ran forward after the kickoff, received it on the right.
Giggs did not enter the game quickly after the opening, allowing Schneider to easily step in and stop the ball firmly at his feet.
Irvine lowered his center of gravity to prevent Schneider from breaking through after he started, but what was unexpected was that Schneider stopped the ball and took two steps forward, directly passing the ball to the penalty area with a long diagonal kick!
Larsson ran to the right and took Pallister away, and the ball went over the heads of the two and flew towards the back point.
Trezeguet, who had already formed a tacit understanding with Larsson's movement, appeared there. Bruce, who will be 35 years old at the end of the year, did not expect that the ball would fly to the penalty area just after the opening. As soon as he stood up, Trezeguet
Just rushed past him!
When the old Manchester United captain turned around to chase after him, Trezeguet had already flipped his feet, kicked his legs, jumped up quickly, and dived towards the top of the ball!
boom!
Trezeguet's bald head made perfect contact with the ball, and he grasped the angle very well. Even when he headed the ball, he did not close his eyes. With his determined eyes and indomitable momentum, he was like a wild beast out of the cage!
This is Old Trafford!
Dream Theater!
Returning to the European stage from Argentina is not just for someone to play a supporting role!
What about Manchester United?
I, David Trezeguet, aspire to be the best striker in the world!
How can one rule the roost if he is immortal?
The Danish mythical goalkeeper of the Red Devils, remember my name: David Trezeguet!
When Trezeguet leaped over the top and flew out, Schmeichel opened his arms and looked a little panicked, and his wide-open pupils were full of disbelief: How long has it been since the game started? The lingering sound of the referee's whistle seemed
It’s still lingering in my ears!
Trezeguet's header was as powerful as a volley shot with his feet. The angle was not very tricky, but it was extremely fast and flew towards the near post.
The trajectory of the ball was above Schmeichel's head. He was not prepared. When the ball flew past his head, he jumped up and raised his hand to block it. However, it was too late!
Schmeichel fell backwards on the goal line, and the ball, after hitting the net, decelerated and slid, spinning on the turf inside the goal and lightly hitting Schmeichel's head.
Trezeguet fell to the ground after a top shot and kept watching the trajectory of the ball. After seeing the ball go in, he wanted to get up, but he was so excited that he staggered and slipped to the ground. He only managed to get up the second time.
He roared crazily and ran towards the visiting team's coaching bench on the sidelines.
