The Young Lion

The public opinion frenzy created by the British media recently made Aldrich dumbfounded.

Millwall was portrayed as a cruel and inhuman ruling class, and Aldrich was rendered as a dictator with his hands covering the sky!

What about the rest of the Premier League?

It has become a vulnerable group that is oppressed and lingering.

Now, under the call of the media.

It's time to rebel!

It's time to overthrow the tyrant!

Very strange, Aldrich has another nickname.

tyrant!

Uh, this tyrant obviously has a different meaning from Van Gaal's tyrant. Van Gaal's tyrant is based on military methods, while Aldridge's tyrant is interpreted as: ruthlessly robbing others of their championship dreams.

When the Charity Shield started, Aldrich laughed and laughed at the press conference, constantly denying, denying, denying.

No, this statement is very unfair! I will consider asking a lawyer to sue you unprofessional media people!

Millwall's success was not given to us by others, let alone obtained by us through immoral means. Why should we be blamed? Is it because we are too successful?

Don't ask me about my biggest achievement, I'm only 24!

It sounded like Aldridge was at war with these reporters, but in fact the opposite was true, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely harmonious.

Tomorrow's Charity Shield, what do you think of the game against Manchester United? If Millwall loses, will it be a signal?

Signal? What signal? We lost the Charity Shield, so we're going to lose the league title? The league hasn't been played yet. Come on. The Charity Shield is the Charity Shield. Any result doesn't signal, you're overthinking it.

 …

On the day of the Charity Shield, Millwall played Manchester United at Wembley.

Wild Lions fans were depressed.

Having just bid farewell to Wembley last season, this stadium has a more special emotion for them.

But as soon as they left, Arsenal reached an agreement with the FA to play in Europe, and Arsenal will use Wembley as their home court!

Wenger actually disagrees in his heart, but considering playing at Wembley. Tickets can earn double, and economic considerations have defeated reality, so he can only compromise.

In addition to playing in the domestic cup finals, Wembley is usually the home of the national team. Millwall has borrowed it for a while. Here, the fans of the Lions have wonderful memories. Now Arsenal have borrowed it again. The time is seamlessly connected. It always gives people an illusion: the girlfriend who slept with me yesterday. I was immediately seduced by someone today...

Despite these involuntary feelings, the fans were enthusiastic.

Play Manchester United. Just what you want!

Aldridge walked into the field before the game and shook hands with Ferguson, the old Scottish man looked bad.

The wind of public opinion on Fleet Street made him very uncomfortable.

It seems that the outside world has already determined that Manchester United is inferior to Millwall, and there is also the fucking Sun, which promotes Aldridge's own strength to compete against the 19 Premier League coaches.

Lao Tzu was half a life in the army with countless honors, but today, he was trampled under by a 24-year-old boy. It seems that the foundation he laid in Manchester United has been demoted to nothing in an instant!

Comparing people to people, it makes people mad!

Throughout the summer, Manchester United was very active in preparing for the game. Ferguson couldn't swallow this breath. He wanted to fight Millwall to the end from the beginning of the new season!

Aldrich has mixed feelings.

He actually wanted to mock Ferguson a few words.

Richardson was poached from Millwall, Aldridge didn't feel bad, he just wanted to run on the other side.

As a result, Ferguson first looked at him with bitter eyes, and Aldridge couldn't speak to provoke him.

Haha, Martin, did you see Ferguson's expression when he was face to face with Hall?

Of course I saw that Manchester United scored 88 points last season, which was the highest score Manchester United scored in the entire season after the restructuring of 20 teams. The result was that they lost to Millwall. They continued to win consecutively in the second half to attack Millwall. Well, they have been looking forward to the collapse of Millwall since the end of February, but they worked hard to the end. Not only did they not see Millwall lose the chain, but they lined up at Old Trafford to welcome Millwall's successful defending! Sprinkle salt on Manchester United's wounds, can Ferguson look good?

Hahaha, Ferguson said that Millwall is still the favorite to win the Premier League in the new season, but from the perspective of summer preparations, Manchester United has huge ambitions for the new season. Ferguson is well versed in psychological warfare. He is now making Millwall the champion. focus.

Look at the starting lineups of the two teams today. Both teams are playing with all the main players. Well, Millwall left Makelele in the summer, and Gattuso replaced him. The other things have not changed. The formation is still 433. There were three changes last season, the first is the goalkeeper position, Barthez replaced Bosnich, the young Brown served as a central defender, and Sylvester replaced Irwin as a left back.

Aldridge returned to the coach's bench and sat down, watching the game quietly.

Manchester United's framework does not change, and basically there will be no major changes in the style of play.

While Millwall is listed as the top European team, the outside world seems to have overlooked a very important fact: Millwall still has room for improvement and is still improving!

Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Henry and these players still have room for improvement.

York's shot! Unfortunately, it went wide. Millwall organized the offense patiently. Today Millwall's offense seems to be a bit stubborn. He insisted on hitting Brown.

It's a matter of course. Brown is young and inexperienced. He is the weakest link in Manchester United's back line.

In the part of the guard, if you successfully defend ten times, it may be ruined by one negligence or mistake.

Under heavy pressure, Brown made a mistake in the 33rd minute of the first half when he was beaten by Henry and Nedved.

Henry hit back with the ball behind his back, Nedved stepped in and carried Keane forward.

Brown is messy, to grab or not to grab?

Seeing that Keane failed to steal the ball from Nedved's feet, Brown still chose to step forward to support, but when he moved, Nedved went straight. After Henry's anti-offside, a small-angle shot from a dead corner pierced through the ten fingers of his national teammate Barthez.

Wow. Martin. I'm not surprised by the goal at all. It's normal for Henry to get such a chance to put the ball in the goal, but it's very interesting. Keane, Nedved, hehe, whenever Mir When Wall played Manchester United. The collision between the two is the focus, this time, Keane failed to beat Nedved.

Keane's defense is strong, but it does not mean that every defense can be successful, otherwise, he is a god.

Especially the contest between him and Nedved, the two are evenly matched, and each wins and loses, which has always been a major spectacle in the Premier League.

Different from the confrontation between Keane and Vieira, after all, both of them are in the middle of the field. The range of motion is large, but direct collisions are infrequent. People often compare the two because they have similar positions, and Keane and Nedved happen to be two people who are directly facing each other in offense and defense.

Just now Keane used his strength to fight directly when Nedved went forward to get the ball, but he failed to knock down Nedved. Chasing from behind, there is no other way but to foul, and the body position is no longer dominant. Now that the team concedes the ball, the only thing he regrets is that he did not take the foul.

Watching Millwall's players celebrate their goal, Keane shrugged helplessly at Brown.

He didn't guard Nedved, so he couldn't blame Brown too much, but Brown lost his position easily, which is really unacceptable.

Brown, who was a junior, felt aggrieved. There was Henry in the middle on the opposite side. He came up to support, and Stam should be behind to fill in.

Stam is almost numb to this kind of conceded ball. If he can avoid conceding the ball by filling the position, then the matter is very simple, but when Nedved got the ball, Larson cut inside and ran. Silvestre was obviously behind Larson. If he went to make up for it, and Henry knocked horizontally, Larson could almost hit the empty goal.

Ferguson was chewing gum more frequently on the sidelines.

After all, facing the top attack group, you must have a top defense.

There is no problem with Stam, but there is a lack of a good central defender, a quasi-world-class or above central defender, is it easy to find in the world? It's not too difficult, but it can't be dug!

Ferguson wanted to try flying on both wings to overwhelm Millwall today, but it turned out that his pre-match tactical arrangement ended in failure.

Brown's weakness at this point triggered a huge chain reaction. Keane and Neville wanted to help him, but the lack of frontcourt support caused Ronaldinho to press on the left instead of Manchester United's right. Beckham completely changed Became a sapper, doing the dirty work in the backfield.

Gattuso himself does not have the strong characteristics of predictive precision interception like Makelele, but he runs in a wide range and defends tough and decisively. He either succeeds or fouls, becoming a crap stick and messing up Manchester United's central attack. The world was turned upside down and frustrated one after another.

This was originally a Charity Shield friendly match, but Ferguson was getting more and more unbearable standing on the sidelines.

Manchester United has insisted on 442 under him for many years. It was obviously suppressed by Millwall when the lineup was regarded as the top in Europe.

Pirlo, who controls the rhythm and plays the ball accurately, is more difficult to restrict than before. Millwall's midfield advantage is too huge.

It’s not just about the individual abilities of the players. Originally, their three midfielders, Gattuso, Pirlo, and Nedved, have a more obvious advantage in the middle than Scholes and Keane. The combination of passing and control or cutting the formation to counter-grab when defending, Millwall's advantage in the midfield is clear at a glance.

Ferguson began to brew Manchester United's tactical changes in his mind.

No change.

Otherwise, as long as they play against Millwall, they will fall into a disadvantage in the midfield, and the initiative will be completely handed over to the opponent.

How to change specifically still needs to be carefully considered. Now, at best, it is a test of the player's personal ability.

Millwall gave Ferguson a lot of face, whatever he wanted, Millwall gave him what he wanted.

Brown, I don't know if there will be a nightmare after this game.

He was passed by Ronaldinho twice in 10 minutes, and the second time he collided with Neville in embarrassment.

It's a pity that Ronaldinho didn't wear shooting boots, and failed to get the ball into the goal after two dribbles and breakthroughs.

At the end of the first half, Millwall took the lead by one goal, and the Manchester United generals walked towards the player tunnel full of resentment.

Aldridge also walked towards the locker room with his head down.

The targeted deployment before the game was to beat Brown. There is nothing wrong with it.

The effect was not bad. Of course, he also had a bit of malicious pleasure in his heart: it would be best to make Brown feel psychologically shadowed, and he would be limp when he met Millwall.

But Millwall really can't stay the same in the new season.

They are the target of public criticism, the public enemy of Europe, and all of Europe is studying them. If it remains the same, this advantage may be wiped out bit by bit in a targeted manner.

He is thinking about the situation on the field, combining Gattuso's advantages to make some detailed changes. (To be continued..)
