The Young Lion

Manchester United has adjusted after conceding the ball, and it becomes difficult for Millwall to create goals through long passes. As long as the top teams do not have major flaws, they can quickly make up for the flaws after suffering a loss. , a pit that refuses to fall into it twice.

There was a scene on the field that made the commentator dumbfounded.

Millwall and Manchester United both have four defenders and a midfielder dragged very far back. It seems that the third line should be out of touch, but both teams failed to invest too much in the defense of the b2b area of ​​​​the midfield, resulting in successful defense. base pressure.

There is no way, Millwall is without Nedved, a player who can have a huge impact in the midfield when retreating to defend, Manchester United is afraid of being hit by Millwall, the speed of Henry and Larsson Don't say that they are free on the wing and in the middle. The threat created after the inside cut is simply chilling.

Andy, have you noticed that today's game is very different from what you expected. Millwall doesn't play like Millwall, and Manchester United doesn't play like Manchester United in our impression.

Martin, the occurrence of such a situation can be understood as the two sides have made sufficient preparations for mutual restrictions, because the way of playing football on the court must be changed if the restrictions are strengthened.

In an environment where both parties are uncomfortable, who do you think will be more resilient?

It's hard to say. Football only judges heroes by winning or losing. The team with the absolute advantage may eventually lose the game. But I think the situation of Manchester United is getting worse now.

why?

In the first half of the game, Manchester United obviously prepared carefully. They played a smooth and effective 45 minutes of the game. They are forced to make changes, as can be seen from Keane's position. And Beckham is very embarrassed now. Manchester United have to adjust, re-adapt, and try to continue to limit Millwall. In this process, they are passive , from actively controlling the rhythm and situation of the game to being passive, so I say their situation is deteriorating. Millwall pulled back a goal and the momentum is high. Will Hall have another move? We don’t know, if there is I think it would be even worse for Manchester United.

The scene on the field was intense. However, it is difficult for the two teams to brew absolutely threatening opportunities. In terms of grasping some slightly better opportunities, the goalkeepers of the two teams have not been tested too much.

Keller went through a period of adaptation and adjusted to the poor state after his sudden appearance in the first half.

At the beginning of the game, Beckham was in the right midfielder position in order to limit Ronaldinho's performance, and the effect was very good in the first half. But in the second half, there was nothing to do on his side,

Although Henry is a left winger, he doesn't force his way to this side. Instead, he creates a threat by cutting inside and running to the middle. Beckham is often thrown away during his running, and his defense is ineffective. So he could only attack again, but he didn't dare to lose his position too seriously, and instead strengthened his defense against Ronaldinho who moved to the middle.

Ronaldinho moved to the middle to play in the second half. After the team's defense improved, his threat began to show, even though Beckham still came to press him. But the effect is completely different from the first half. In the first half, Beckham could put Ronaldinho down and focus on blocking the inside line, while in the second half, Ronaldinho moved in a large area of ​​the midfield. How would Ronaldinho choose between Beckham's left and right sides? Unpredictable, so the scene of Beckham being broken by the front appears frequently.

Ferguson's face became more and more serious on the sidelines.

Millwall's adjustments in the second half seem to be a series of tricks!

Keane retracted to prevent Millwall from playing a long pass. As a result, the defensive strength of the midfielder dropped. The field is lawless.

Gradually, the advantage on the field has shifted to Millwall's side. Manchester United's small-scale and delicate cooperation on the offensive end is not ideal. On the other hand, Millwall has Ronaldinho and Pirlo in control of the midfield to provide support for the striker.

In the 69th minute, Ronaldinho and Pirlo got rid of Scholes in two and one, and then changed direction and broke through Beckham. When facing Keane in front of the penalty area, he passed the ball to Larson with a straight kick. Going forward again, Larson hit the ball from the right side in front of the penalty area to the other side. Henry, who cut in from the left, did not give the defender any chance.

At this time, Manchester United's defense line in the penalty area was in chaos, and Ronaldinho kicked the ball again. This time, it was a fatal through ball.

The ball rolled past Brown one meter away. When Brown turned his head, he saw Klose running diagonally to the rolling path of the ball, and took advantage of the opportunity to shoot.

Seeing that Klose's action was to volley vigorously, but he kicked a flaw, Barthez was startled, his center of gravity was shaken, he blocked the near corner of the goal, and felt that Klose's kick must have been volleyed on the near post of the goal After all, if you draw the far corner, your body will swing more and it will be more difficult.

Klose kicked a flaw, and the ball rolled slowly towards Manchester United's gate with a strong spin.

After Barthez shifted his center of gravity and saw the ball rolling, he sat down on the ground, and immediately reached out to catch the ball.

Oh shit!

The ball really rolled towards the far corner of the goal.

His outstretched hand didn't reach the goal. Stam was marking Larsson who was going forward. He was running towards the goal when Klose shot. At this time, he stopped and started, and then rushed to the goal. He went out and tried to hook the ball out with his toes, but unfortunately, he was still a step late, the ball rolled across the goal line first, and then he slid in with him.

2:2! 2:2! After Millwall's pleasing kick from the frontcourt players, Ronaldinho finally assisted Klose to score in front of the penalty area. Klose, how great Lad, he was the star player for millwall in the second half, after assisting Larsson to score, he personally helped the team score the crucial equalizer goal! I hate to say it, but Nedved's injury is out , gave Klose more opportunities to play, and his progress in the past half season has been very obvious. Not only has he been able to keep up with the rhythm of his teammates, but he has also shown extraordinary talent in the ability to seize opportunities! He will be Milwaukee Are you the next big star?

Klose's shot was flawed, and he also fell on the field, but when he saw that the crooked shot pierced the goal guarded by Barthez, he immediately got up excitedly, and against Manchester United, he could also score. ball!

And it's a key goal!

He got up and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly, but halfway he was caught by Henry's neck and slowed down, and then. Ronaldinho jumped onto his back from behind, and Klose did somersaults to celebrate this time. He couldn't even free his hands, so he could only hug Ronaldinho's two thighs. Instead, Ronaldinho pumping his fist on his back was more like celebrating the protagonist.

On the side of Millwall's coaching bench, the assistant coach rushed out and jumped up and punched to celebrate, and the substitute players also stood up and applauded Klose's goal.

What about Aldridge?

As a young coach with countless famous European champions, he is too unreserved!

Stretching his arms outstretched, Aldrich made a strange roar while making a plane celebration and circled around the area of ​​the coaching bench of the visiting team.

Millwall has a general absent, and some important players are not at their best. Today is still a away game.

so what?

As a European king-level team, no matter how unfavorable the situation is, we will not be defeated!

In the stands of Old Trafford, only the Wild Lions fans were cheering wildly. The thing that Red Devils fans were most worried about happened.

2:2

Sure enough, sure enough!

The current situation has caused the vast majority of Manchester United fans to express emotions similar to Keane's gaffe last season.

Why?

Why can't the mad lion be defeated!

While Ferguson was disappointed with the team's second conceded goal, he was unable to make effective adjustments, because it is now a draw, Manchester United's home court!

When leading by two goals. It's normal to think about how to limit your opponent. As long as you don't concede the ball, victory is within your reach.

But now, what Manchester United should think about is how to take the lead again.

Millwall made Ferguson burst out with a sense of powerlessness.

them. Seemingly omnipotent.

He is proficient in all offensive methods, cooperates with short passes, accurate long passes in mid-to-long distances, and has a fulcrum. Well organized...

You limit them with one, and they attack with the other.

This is the style of a strong team. The offensive methods are not limited to a single form, and they are used flexibly in the ever-changing games. It has simply reached its peak.

Compared with Manchester United, Ferguson has to admit that a role player is owned by the opponent, but not in his own team.

Simply speaking, there is nothing comparable to forwards. They are of different types and serve different tactical systems.

And Manchester United has Giggs, who can pass suddenly and pass, and Millwall has Ronaldinho.

Beckham is unique, but from a tactical point of view, Millwall can’t count the best players in the formation with one hand, with precise long passes or crosses. Among the main players, there are Ronaldinho in the front and Schneider in the back. Germany, Pirlo's forward penetration also has quality assurance in the 45-degree cross.

The defensive midfielder and the full-back, at least in terms of roles, there is not much difference, unless there is an absolutely heaven-defying player like Carlos.

What is Manchester United missing?

Organized midfield.

The precise definition of Scholes is an attacking midfielder. Millwall's unshakable main force Nedved in the past few years also plays such a role in the formation.

But Millwall has Pirlo, and the effect of organizing the offense is the guarantee for Millwall to accumulate advantages and burst into power.

Manchester United, there is no such player.

Even if Scholes pulls back to play such a role, then they will lack an attacking midfielder. Moreover, on this point, Ferguson and Aldridge have the same views in the England national team. Korsla went back to playing pure organization, that was a waste.

Ferguson's thoughts were racing, and this problem cannot be solved by tapping the potential internally, so it can only be signed, and it is a top player who can fight.

In the summer, Florentino took over Real Madrid. Real Madrid wanted to spend a lot of money to introduce midfielders, and three names came out.

The first is Zidane of Juventus, the second is Figo of Barcelona, ​​and the third is Veron of Lazio.

There was also a short period of time when it was rumored that Real Madrid would spend a lot of money to introduce Mr. Golden Globe Nedved, but even Real Madrid members laughed and shook their heads.

That is completely impossible, unless Real Madrid buys the Millwall club first, and then operates the player transfer.

The introduction of Zidane encountered a major obstacle. Real Madrid made a choice between Veron and Figo. It was once reported that Veron, who was introduced by Real Madrid at a record price of 75 million US dollars, finally stayed in Lazio. Real Madrid directly paid Figo. Go's release brought him to the Bernabeu.

There is no doubt that Veron is a playmaking midfielder who has also proven himself in Serie A. If he moved to Real Madrid for a new transfer record in the summer, no one would think that the money was well spent, but would it be? It is a parallel import, that is the story after that.

Ferguson thought of this player, also because Veron caused too much news in the second half of the year.
