Steve Bruce's buzzer-beating goal locked the final score of the battle between the Red Devils and the Lions at 5:5.
This may not be enough to make up for his poor performance throughout the game, but it can also be regarded as a moment of self-redemption.
The Manchester United players surrounded Bruce excitedly, excited for this goal and the last-minute draw.
Millwall's players looked very disappointed. Schneider even knelt on the ground, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes in sadness.
Why didn't you win?!
Someone bent down and put his hands on his shoulders to help him up. Schneider opened his eyes and saw the calm face of captain Southgate. Southgate whispered: "Stand up and hold your head high. We should
Go thank the fans for coming and cheering."
Schneider stood up and collected his emotions. He saw that other teammates had recovered from their disappointment. They all walked to the east stand and applauded the Lions fans in the stands.
"Incredible game, Andy, this is the most exciting game I have ever commented on, from the first minute of the game, no, to be exact, from the referee's opening whistle to the final whistle.
The game was so exciting and will remain in my memory forever.”
"This is the Premier League! This is the Premier League we are most proud of and love the most. The game is fast-paced, the confrontation is fierce, and there are many wonderful technical and tactical connotations. Although the two teams contributed ten goals, the overall offensive and defensive quality is extremely high.
High, and every goal is very exciting. Close your eyes, and those players who entered the audience's field of vision for the first time will come to mind one by one. Millwall's players are each impressive, and Manchester United's new generation of players has also proved that he
Worthy of the red heritage, Martin, this is a football feast. Although there are only a few famous names in Europe on the field, based on the performance of this group of young men today, I firmly believe that they will shine on a bigger stage in the future.
,We are fortunate to witness the whole process of such a game today."
"I totally agree with what you said. If you ask me to rate the players on the field, I think most of the players will get high scores. Ferguson may not be reconciled because Cantona cannot play, and the young Hall will also regret it.
Because his team lost three points at the last moment, but I want to say to the two head coaches: Thank you. This game will become a classic of the Premier League. There is no doubt that the fans who did not watch the live broadcast are their loss, because
This is a football feast that you can enjoy from the first second to the last second. Okay, audience friends, the live broadcast of the match between Manchester United and Millwall ends here. We will see you in the next game."
After the referee Dukin blew the whistle at the end of the game at Old Trafford, the fans in the audience stood up and applauded, and the applause lasted for a long time.
Maybe Manchester United fans thought the Red Devils would win the game from beginning to end.
But when the moment of the end came, they felt a little regretful, not that Manchester United only got a draw, but that this exciting and ups and downs game was over.
On the court, players from both sides began to communicate after the game, and many people began to exchange jerseys.
Schmeichel walked up to Larsson. Although they were not from the same country, geographically speaking, they were fellow Nordics. The two took off their jerseys and exchanged each other.
"Hey, you should come and play for Manchester United. You score goals and I keep the goal. We will win many championships."
Schmeichel started poaching shamelessly, but this was also a form of admiration and recognition.
Larson smiled and said nothing.
Roy Keane took the initiative to find Nedved. The two tough guys faced each other. The jerseys on their bodies were not only soaked with sweat, but also covered with mud. However, the two of them took off their jerseys and handed them to each other.
The opponent's jersey was draped over his shoulders, the two men shook hands with each other, let go and turned around to leave, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
Aldridge stood in the stands. After the game, he closed his eyes and felt guilty.
However, this was not the occasion to be upset. He turned around and planned to fulfill his promise to give an autograph to the young Manchester United fan, but saw the little boy's father giving him a thumbs up.
"Your team is amazing."
Aldrich smiled noncommittally.
This man's compliments were the same as mine.
To say that Millwall is great, no matter how great it is, it is just a draw at Old Trafford. To put it bluntly, the subtext is still: Manchester United is very strong, and the fact that you can draw proves that you are not weak either.
Aldrich took the watercolor pen from the young fan, signed his name on his hat, and left with a smile.
Ferguson was already waiting below. The old man was blushing terribly before the end of the game, but he looks better now.
"Aldridge, Manchester United may have lost the two most important points in the championship!"
Ferguson's tone was only semi-lighthearted teasing.
But maybe it's true, the process of losing the championship last season is still fresh in my mind.
Who knows?
Aldrich doesn't care anyway.
He shook hands with Ferguson and smiled: "Alex, Millwall may have scored the most crucial point on the road to relegation."
Ferguson pointed at him with wide eyes and said: "If you say Millwall is a relegation team again, I will think you are mocking Manchester United!"
They didn't win against Millwall at home. If Millwall is a relegation team, what can Manchester United do to compete for the championship?
And deep down in his heart, Ferguson had to admit that Manchester United only performed better than Millwall during a certain period of time throughout the game.
Aldrich smiled and stopped arguing.
"I'll be waiting for you in the office. It's worth keeping in my collection today."
"Okay, see you later."
Aldridge and Ferguson said goodbye, and then went back to the locker room to have a brief chat with the players. After playing the away game, they were about to take the car home.
At the post-match press conference, reporters couldn't wait.
The reporters who watched the entire game live had too many questions, and many people were in a state of excitement that could not calm down for a long time.
What kind of game is this?
Manchester United, the favorite to win the championship, the hegemon of the Premier League and a traditional giant, faced Millwall, the newly promoted team and the favorite to be relegated from the bottom five, at home, and they actually played a game that no one could have guessed.
Manchester United fell behind first, then reversed, then were reversed, equalized, fell behind, and finally equalized again.
Millwall took the lead, was reversed, reversed again, was equalized, took the lead again before the end, and was equalized at the last second!
F--uck!
Not only was the process ups and downs, the scene was even more passionate!
Ferguson appeared, and the old Scottish man looked normal. When a reporter asked: "Manchester United obviously lost its dominance of the game today and lost its leading role at Old Trafford. As a coach, what do you think is the reason?"
Ferguson shrugged and chuckled: "The reason is that this is the Premier League. Anyone who has watched the game knows that neither side intends to test their opponents. From the first second of the game, they started to attack each other. Millwall is very strong.
Football commentators who think they are relegation favorites are idiots. They can make the game run at a very fast pace. Manchester United was a little uncomfortable at first, but then I realized that since they can't hold on, it just depends on who scores.
There were more balls, and in the end, we played a classic game.”
"So, do you think Millwall are serious title contenders this season?"
Ferguson nodded seriously and said: "Of course, can any of you tell me the last time Manchester United conceded five goals at home? And as two consecutive top league champions and one runner-up, isn't Millwall's performance not enough?
Attack the championship?"
...
When Aldridge came to be interviewed, the reporters at the press conference couldn't help laughing.
Aldrich felt strange and asked after sitting down: "Is there any problem?"
Richard from the Daily Mail raised his hand, and Aldrich, who was an old friend of his, asked him to ask questions first.
"Mr. Hall, just now Mr. Ferguson said that Millwall is one of the league title contenders. Do you agree with his view?"
Aldridge said without hesitation: "Of course not. Millwall is still very young and will be lucky to avoid relegation in the Premier League this season."
He doesn't want his team to be the target of public criticism.
"But you scored five goals at Manchester United's home court and almost won the game. Manchester United was the laggard for a long time."
Aldridge said exaggeratedly and seriously: "Of course! This is the Theater of Dreams! Which team doesn't want to perform here? If you can play here, of course you must cherish the opportunity. I think, Middlesbrough, Southampton,
When teams like Queens Park Rangers visit Old Trafford, they will fight with 200% fighting spirit, and then leave here with their heads held high at the end of the game."
The reporters in the audience were all happy.
Ferguson and Aldridge, both coaches are smiling but hiding their secrets.
Ferguson wanted to set Millwall on fire, but Aldridge complimented Manchester United, but reminded other teams that it was an honor to come here to fight Manchester United.
Maybe there will be another pair of equally matched opponents in the Premier League.
"Millwall was equalized at the last moment. How do you feel? Are you disappointed with the players?"
Aldridge pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I am very sad and disappointed because I failed the players' efforts. My players performed impeccably, but I failed to help them win. I am all responsible.
On my body."
The reporters in the audience were happy at first, thinking that Aldridge was going to blame the players, but they didn't expect that he was taking the responsibility on himself.
It's really strange. Although Millwall was equalized in this game, it should have exceeded expectations. Isn't Aldridge unhappy if he doesn't take away the three points?
"Mr. Hall, can you explain? Why do you feel guilty?"
Aldridge said frankly: "I should have used the last two substitutions to stop Manchester United's last-minute attack, but I was sent to the stands and I forgot to remind my assistants. It was all my fault and the players' fault.
It was great, but I was so terrible."
The reporters were speechless. Although they all guessed that Aldrich could win people's hearts by saying this, but he could say such words openly in front of more than 40 media reporters, and the players would die for him. Who would think that
Not worth it?
In the first round of the 1995/96 English Premier League, Manchester United faced Millwall at home. After the game, it was rated as the best game since the establishment of the Premier League. It was still ranked among the Premier League's 10th and 20th anniversary celebrations.
The classic games are at the top of the list not only because of the exciting excitement and technical and tactical content of the games, but also of extraordinary significance because they are milestones in the rise of many young stars in Manchester United and Millwall, announcing the arrival of a new era.
