The full-back stepping forward to assist is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will be invincible, but if you use it, you will hurt yourself eight hundred times.
Lucas Neal had the ball intercepted just after he passed the center circle. Millwall's attack was still brewing but was aborted. Turning around, Manchester United's counterattack was coming!
Bart dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area. He had a lot of space to dribble the ball and ample time to observe the situation.
Giggs and Thuram formed a pair on the wing, canceling each other out. In fact, in the middle of the penalty area, it was a three-on-two situation for Manchester United.
McClair seemed invisible in the first 30 minutes, but this time, he cleverly ran to the left, making a posture of waiting to receive the ball from his teammate. Stam naturally followed closely.
Following him, Bart made a choice and dribbled the ball forward to the right.
Cole also pulled out, leaning on Southgate behind him. Bart passed the ball to Cole, and then continued to run to the right, as if he was trying to make a one-two match. Cole also decisively passed the ball to Cole.
Bart's front.
Southgate had no choice but to turn around and block Butt. If he were allowed to move the ball forward again, it would be a one-shot goal, even though the angle of the shot may not be very big.
But as soon as he moved, Bart cleverly knocked the ball back to Cole. At this time, Cole had turned around, and Southgate also lost his position. He was given enough space in front of him to move forward.
, and at the same time made adjustments, Andy Cole fired furiously!
The ball rolled into Millwall's goal like a cannonball, and Keller fell to the ground and was obviously a beat late in making the save.
"Beautiful shot! Manchester United pulled one back! Andy Cole's calm shot did not let down the efforts of his teammates. The main credit for this goal should be attributed to Nicky Butt, whose forward penetration should tear Millwall apart.
The defense line and the tacit cooperation with Cole created scoring opportunities for the latter. Will Manchester United reverse? At least Millwall should be nervous."
"Martin, should Millwall give up and let Neal continue to attack? If he had not stepped forward, Manchester United would not have had this opportunity to counterattack. Obviously, if he made a mistake, or he stepped forward to participate in the attack but could not come back in time,
Then Manchester United will have a clear advantage in the counterattack, and the vertical space of Millwall's defense will be very large. For a team like Manchester United that is good at attacking from the wing, this is a fatal loophole."
"I don't know, I don't know. Aldridge's team has already surprised us. Who knows what Millwall will do next. All we need to do is enjoy this game. I believe the next five
The game will be more exciting in more than ten minutes."
Cole did not celebrate after scoring. He ran into the goal, held the ball in his arms and ran towards the backcourt. The same was true for other Manchester United teammates. They had no intention of celebrating.
We only got one back, and it’s still early for the carnival!
Ferguson looked better, while Aldrich looked calm.
It was indeed Neal's mistake just now that caused the team to concede the goal, but this was inevitable.
No tactic matures without paying a price.
Therefore, Aldridge always renovates the team carefully and never makes drastic changes. When the full-backs come forward to assist, it is not possible to make the players perfect just by telling the players tactical analysis.
This requires experience, judging when to step forward to assist, and the defensive position changes of teammates after the full-back steps forward is also important.
In fact, the smart approach just now is that after Manchester United strengthens its defense on the right, Millwall should turn its attack to its own right and focus on Manchester United's right. In this way, even if it cannot achieve the effect of the left, it can still run back and forth vertically to exhaustion.
Keane and Bart, and can find flaws in the middle.
But the cautious Aldridge only focused on building an offense on the left wing, because Pires's ability to cut inside is stronger than Schneider's, and his ability to score by inserting into the penalty area is also stronger. The effect that can be achieved through cooperation will naturally be greater.
Threat, if Thuram and Schneider play the same cooperation on the right, I am afraid it will be unsatisfactory. This is a matter of players' feelings in different areas. The closer Schneider is to the hinterland of the penalty area, the smaller the threat he poses.
There is no doubt about his assist ability from the wing, but it is difficult to mold him into a modern winger who can directly intimidate the goal.
Moreover, if both sides give tactical instructions for assists at the same time, there is no guarantee that the offense will not be confused in the early stage. Tactical changes require a process of adaptation and running-in.
There was applause at Old Trafford, encouraging the Red Devils to keep up the good work.
Neil was a little frustrated, but he quickly raised his head and cheered up. He is also a tough guy. There is nothing he can't let go of. If he makes a mistake, he will make a mistake. There is no need to feel bad about it. The boss said it in training: Be bold and assist.
Go up there and don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Failure is the mother of success. It's not a big deal for young players to make mistakes.
After conceding the ball before, Neil settled down on the wing and temporarily did his defensive work, keeping a close eye on Beckham. Even though he is younger than Beckham, he is a tough guy on the court.
The general's kicking style was very aggressive and his body was extremely strong. He slammed into him and fought hard. Beckham was really unable to withstand it.
The pace of the game was very fast from the first minute, not only because Millwall increased the pace in attack, but also because they went all out in defense, forcing Manchester United players not to stick to the ball too much, otherwise they would
Fell into a trap of double-teaming and pressing.
After the threat from Manchester United's right was eliminated, Keane faced off against Nedvěd again, and the two frequently confronted each other in the midfield.
Nedved fell, got up, fell, got up, Keane went to bump into Nedved but accidentally fell, and got up, Keane took the ball, Nedved went to grab it, Keane grabbed the ball.
En was knocked down, he got up without hesitation, fell down, got up, fell down, got up...
Their jerseys were the dirtiest, almost as if they had been in a wrestling match in the mud.
After repeated confrontations, Keane couldn't help but look at Nedved, who was silent and focused on the game, and thought to himself: Is this still a human being?
Even though he is a butcher, he is also a tough guy. If he knocks his opponent over and the opponent rolls around pretending to be injured, he will spit out and curse a few words with disdain. He is too lazy to despise the opponent in his heart. If the opponent plays dirty tricks with him,
, he can shovel directly at the opponent's leg, and admit it openly: I just want to break your leg!
But when encountering an opponent like Nedved who fell to the ground and then got up and continued fighting without saying a word, Keane felt a sense of admiration in his heart.
Damn it, I finally saw a real man.
Admiration is admiration, but the intensity of the confrontation will not diminish!
Head to head, see who is tougher!
Because of the conservativeness on the wing, Nedvěd was entangled by Keane in the center. Pires and Schneider retreated to get the ball, but the effect was not ideal. At the end of the first half, Manchester United formed a frontcourt suppression. They
I am more familiar with this court and have a better understanding of cooperation. I can better control the ball at my feet between three passes and two downs.
Bart passed the ball to Giggs who was leaning towards the center. Giggs did not go to the left after taking the ball. Obviously he did not have the upper hand in the fight with Thuram. Although he had a speed advantage, Thuram defended him.
The characteristic is that he does not keep the distance, but directly uses his body to block the position. Even if the ball passes, the person has to stay.
So Giggs dribbled the ball towards the middle, and passed the ball to Beckham, who was also wandering in the middle, about 35 yards outside the penalty area. The two teammates from Class 92 completed an exquisite cooperation. Beckham
Facing the incoming ball, he chose to pick the pass without hesitation, and the ball flew lightly into Millwall's penalty area.
To whom is the ball passed?
Stam wanted to head the ball to clear the ball, but he was blocked by McClair's body next to him, and the opponent grabbed his jersey. He forced to take off, but because he could not jump the highest, he did not touch the ball. The ball missed him ten centimeters above his head.
It flew diagonally backward.
After Giggs passed the ball, he quickly inserted into the penalty area. The speed was extremely fast. Thuram entered the penalty area to assist the defense and attacked from the side. Giggs had just stopped the ball with his chest. Before the ball hit the ground, he fell heavily in the penalty area.
, and Thuram kicked the ball out of the penalty area from beside his body.
Unexpectedly, the referee Paul Dugin stopped the game at this time and pointed to the penalty spot.
Thuram held his head in disbelief and appealed innocently to the referee.
"Penalty kick! Durkin awarded a penalty kick, and Manchester United had a chance to equalize the score in first half stoppage time! It can be seen from the slow-motion replay that Thuram knocked down Giggs from the side and behind. This
There is nothing controversial about penalty kicks."
Aldridge appealed to the fourth official on the sidelines.
"Hey, the opponent's Keane knocked down my player countless times in the midfield. The referee didn't call it once. I won't say anything. This is the Premier League standard, but my defender was fighting for the ball.
What was the Manchester United forward doing? He didn't take off, but interfered with my player's takeoff. He obviously pulled the jersey! Isn't that a foul? The referee should have awarded McClair a foul in the penalty area. It was our free kick.
Not the penalty kick that happened later!”
Aldridge complained to the fourth official with one hand on his hip and the other waving, but the other official was expressionless and seemed not to even want to hear it.
Millwall's players on the field were also arguing with the referee Dukin. It was obvious that Stam was interfered with when he took off. McClair's movements were not concealed. If there was no interference, Stam could easily clear the ball with a header.
.
Du Jin shook his head and ignored everyone's complaints, and made a "go away" gesture.
Southgate persuaded his teammates to leave, and then he had a calm conversation with the referee alone, but referee Dukin just shook his head and finally showed Southgate a yellow card.
Aldrich saw this scene on the sidelines and angrily shouted at the fourth official: "Is this a fascist dictatorship? Doesn't he even have a voice?"
"Mr. Hall, please be careful with your words. I will write all this in the game report."
"You'd better write it down every word! I can also write it, you damn gave Manchester United a penalty kick!"
Aldrich sneered and turned around to leave. He had already seen the referee running towards him.
Dukin warned Aldridge, who remained silent and had a cold face amidst the roars of laughter from the Manchester United fans.
Melanie, like the Millwall fans in the stands, tried her best to boo the referee Dukin. Then she pursed her lips and felt that Aldrich was a little distressed at the moment, but she felt that he was more like a real
Man, because he straightened his back and still stood on the sidelines!
Cole, who took the penalty kick, scored it instantly, and then the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
After 45 minutes, Manchester United brought the game back to the starting point!
