With the victory in hand, Manchester United suffered another heavy blow, and this blow did not allow them to recover in a short period of time.
Not only failed to control the rhythm, but they even lost control of the midfield!
After Solskjaer came on the field, he played a second forward position and directly rushed to the front line without taking over from Trezeguet. Larson was at the forefront of the offense alone.
Makelele, Nedvěd, and the retreating Solskjaer, the three of them coordinated the wing, and played a series of wonderful cooperation, pressing Manchester United to the limit.
Schneider took the ball from the wing, and Larsson cleverly stepped forward and headed the ball towards the goal. He thought the ball would definitely go in, but Schmeichel made a world-class save and flew to block the ball from the baseline.
A corner kick was taken, Pallister made a header to clear the ball, and Solskjaer, who ran out of the penalty area, hit the goal slightly wide.
Millwall's offensive is surging, and Manchester United's goal is in turmoil.
Ferguson couldn't sit still anymore. He walked to the sidelines, pointed at the players loudly and began to give instructions.
Before Manchester United's energy returned, Millwall attacked for a long time, God paid off, and they took the lead again!
It's just a simple coordination in the middle.
Nedvěd quickly moved forward to receive Pires' pass, and then passed it to the retreating forward. However, the forward retreating from the front line was something that the Manchester United defense did not expect: Larsson.
Bruce and Pallister were all focused on Larson. In a flash, Larson ran back. They were stunned for a moment. Larson turned his back to take the ball and knocked it with his heel. The ball passed through Pallister.
It rolled between Bruce and Solskjaer. At the same time, Solskjaer rushed into the penalty area to meet the ball and pushed the ball. No matter how good Schmeichel was, it was impossible for his hands to reach the goalposts on both sides.
The ball hit the dead center, and Solskjaer was knocked to the ground by Bruce after completing the shot.
"Oh my god! How many goals will be scored in this game? In the 73rd minute of the game, Millwall took the lead again! Larson and Solskjaer completed the change of positions, and Solskjaer, who had been playing the ball from behind,
Solskjaer unexpectedly advanced into the penalty area, and Larsson's retreat to play the ball briefly distracted Manchester United's defense. In this way, Manchester United was punished. Solskjaer, this is another impressive player.
A profound striker, he kicked off the ball very decisively and calmly in the penalty area. The ball he shot didn't look very fast, but he grasped the angle very well. Schmeichel was in such a mess today. It's not his fault. Millwall's goal
Every ball is wonderful.”
Solskjaer got up from the ground, with a confident and happy smile on his baby face. Like Aldridge on the sidelines, he raised his hands and clenched his fists, as if declaring victory!
Aldridge waved his fist firmly, this goal was wonderful.
After replacing Solskjaer, Millwall's formation has changed, from 442 to 4231. Solskjaer lurks behind Larsson as a shadow forward, but what is even more subtle is that he and Larsson
Can switch positions and catch Manchester United's defense off guard in an instant.
The old Scotsman was furious!
Ferguson had a livid face on the sidelines, his eyes were as sharp as knives and he was roaring at the players. The instructions he waved with his big hands were very clear: attack! Attack like crazy, you guys!
After conceding two goals in the first 12 minutes, Manchester United still had nearly 80 minutes to chase.
But now there are less than 20 minutes left in the game, and there is not much time left for Manchester United. Especially after conceding the goal, many Manchester United players had a look of confusion on their faces, as if they didn't know what to do next!
Fortunately, with Ferguson's influence on the sidelines, the players quickly woke up from the nightmare, and the Red Devils' blood boiled again.
Millwall fans sang and reveled in the stands.
Who dares to look down upon us?
What happened to Manchester United?
The crazy lion is stepping on the red devil!
Aldridge's instructions to the team were also very simple. Like Ferguson, he asked the players to continue to strengthen the offense without showing any signs of weakness!
The situation at this time is: whoever retreats will die!
Manchester United took half a step back when they were leading 3:2, and then fell behind 3:4!
The same is true for Millwall. Aldridge cannot let the players shrink. This is not the Lion's Den Stadium. It is Manchester United's Old Trafford and the Red Devils' Dream Theater!
Here, the fighting power of the Red Devils cannot be underestimated. They are the kings who dominate here. Without the courage to kill the king, victory will be out of reach!
The pace of the next game was even faster than before. The two sides opened up their posture to attack, and shots could be seen almost every minute. It is not that the two teams did not defend, but that under the fast pace, both teams were passing the ball.
With the characteristics of excellent control, it only takes ten seconds to complete an attack at a fast pace.
Giggs was intercepted and Nedvěd passed the ball across the half-court. Larsson chased him and shot a long shot from outside the penalty area. Schmeichel flew out to block the ball.
A world class save!
Beckham made a pass from the wing, and Cole returned the ball and passed it to Keane, who stepped in. Keane also shot a long shot, but unfortunately it was slightly over the crossbar.
The two sides went back and forth, and the attack was thrilling. The audience held their breath and did not dare to blink, for fear that a goal would be scored in the next second.
Beckham's threat on the right has plummeted, and he can only pick up the ball and pass the ball mindlessly. Cole's probability of receiving the ball in the penalty area is obviously very low, and even if he has a chance, he cannot face the goal.
Giggs, who had been struggling with Thuram throughout the game, began to retreat in a wide range. After receiving a pass from Bart, he started running wildly with the ball. Schneider kept pressing, Giggs made a move to cut inside, and then passed the ball.
Passed to Keane who came in.
Thuram blocked the inward route, Giggs folded the edge and hit the bottom line. Keane passed the ball diagonally to the bottom line. Giggs successfully got the ball from the bottom. Thuram had also returned to the defensive position and was about to press forward with his body.
Eat Giggs, but Giggs is faster and crosses with his left foot!
Millwall is not afraid of passing the ball in front of the goal. Manchester United does not have a strong center in the small penalty area, but Giggs' pass was passed outside the penalty area.
Makelele stared at Keane, but found that the ball did not fly towards Keane. At the top of the arc, a figure appeared there: Scholes!
Before the ball fell, Scholes volleyed and the ball flew towards the goal with great force, and it bounced off the ball!
The angle wasn't very tricky, but it hit the ground and shook goalkeeper Keller. He fell to the ground, and the ball passed between his arms and went straight into the net.
"Scholes! Scholes saved Manchester United! In the 81st minute of the game, Manchester United equalized the score again. It is now 4:4. The substitutions of the two coaches played an obvious role, although Scholes mostly
Time is disappearing, but the person he replaced is McClair, a forward, and Scholes can score goals, which is enough to prove his worth!"
Old Trafford burst into cheers, but the Manchester United players were still not satisfied and ran towards the center circle holding the ball.
A draw is not enough to make the Red Devils feel proud.
Aldrich scratched his head, feeling helpless.
The pace of the game was extremely fast, and it was unclear whether the goal would happen. Millwall also had several good opportunities, but they failed to grasp them. It can only be said that Manchester United seized the opportunity and in the process of counterattack
Good results were achieved.
Players from both sides were sweating profusely. Millwall's players wiped away their sweat and panted heavily. They didn't care after losing the ball. They didn't waste time and returned to half-court to set up their formation and prepare for kick-off.
It doesn't matter if we get equalized, just score another goal!
Aldridge didn't give the order to defend, so the players didn't hesitate at all.
After the kick-off, the two sides fought for each other and continued the high-tempo attack.
At this moment, the players of both teams were nervous and no one dared to relax at all.
The game time passed by minute by second. Seeing that the game had reached the 89th minute and the score was still 4:4, the Manchester United fans found anxiously and helplessly: a draw seemed to be acceptable.
Millwall's performance today is top-notch. If they can maintain this level for a season, it is impossible to judge what heights they will reach.
Millwall once again organized an attack. Thuram stepped forward and passed the ball to Nedved. Nedved retreated to get the ball and turned around. In front of him were two players, Bart and Keane, on the left and right.
Who will he pass it on to?
Pires? Or Schneider?
Or give it directly to the striker in front?
Both defensive players are anticipating Nedvěd's ball route.
However, after Nedvěd had space to start, he dribbled the ball and broke through the two of them from the front at an extremely fast speed!
Both Bart and Keane were waiting for Nedvěd to pass the ball, but they didn't expect the Czech iron man to unexpectedly charge forward unreasonably!
Keane turned around and grabbed Nedvěd's jersey. Butt put a shovel under his feet. Nedved broke through between the two of them like a wild horse and rode away!
Keane and Bart were stunned: It's been 90 minutes and the speed is still so fast. Are you human?
Nedved dribbled the ball forward as fast as lightning. Manchester United's four defenders immediately retreated into the penalty area, while Millwall's offensive line also pressed forward towards the penalty area.
Nedvěd has been running wildly since he started to accelerate, without slowing down at all. He passed the ball to Pires near the center in front of the penalty area. The opponent met the ball with a pass into the penalty area, and the ball just passed Bruce's head. Manchester United
The defenders kept an eye on Larsson, Solskjaer and Schneider in the penalty area.
However, after completing the pass, Nedvěd rushed into the penalty area without losing speed, cutting through Manchester United's defense like a sharp knife.
Pallister moved to block Nedved, but he couldn't keep up and fell to the ground. Bruce could only reach out to block Nedved who rushed past.
The fast-moving Nedved almost knocked Bruce's arm away with his body, jumped up high, and headed the ball towards the falling ball!
The flowing blond hair is flying in the air, and the steel-like body gives the football strong power.
Schmeichel flew towards the near post, but his hand came up empty. He closed his eyes in despair, and in his ears he could already hear a name falling into the sky in the quiet Old Trafford stadium.
"Nedved! Nedved! Our lion, Nedved!"
Roar fans organized groups to chant Nedvěd's name repeatedly.
The fighting spirit of the crazy lion is bound to conquer the Dream Theater!
Iron Lion Nedved becomes famous in Europa with the Red Devils!
