The Young Lion

The South Stand of Old Trafford is the location of the TV broadcast camera. It has the most VIP boxes in the entire stadium. At the same time, live game commentators representing different TV stations and live broadcast platforms are also here.

In the wing room of Sky TV, the on-site commentators are two veterans of English football and the most popular commentators in English football in the future, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray. Their professional commentary can be widely praised, and even won the reputation of the world's best commentary combination in the future.

The faces of the two of them are not very good today.

In the TV station's live commentary plan for the new season, the two were a little baffled and angry by the tasks assigned by the TV station's top management.

Sky TV doesn’t know what’s going on, but it’s actually in the selected games on the live broadcast day. In the 38 rounds of the league, apart from the famous games, such as the Merseyside Derby, the England Derby, Manchester United VS Arsenal, or the North London Derby, etc. Waiting for high-profile games and other match days, there is a team that has obviously received exceptional attention: Millwall!

The instructions issued by the top management of Sky TV are all written in the live broadcast plan. Millwall is the team that has won the number of live broadcast games after Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal!

Not only that, but Andy Gray and Martin Taylor must be on-site commentators for Millwall games to be broadcast live!

Whether the game is included in the key live broadcast directly affects the team's broadcast income. The Premier League broadcast share is partly based on the team's performance, partly distributed equally, and partly according to the live broadcast of the game.

Millwall's income in this part has obviously surpassed most of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.

After all, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray are part-timers, and they can only follow the company's arrangement. However, if Millwall's game is boring and affects the ratings, then they will have the confidence to challenge the top management.

Of course they didn't know that Barnett drove Murdoch crazy!

Murdoch now regrets every day why he did not prevent the Hall family from buying shares in Sky TV. In the summer, Barnett expressed unequivocally that Sky TV should take care of Millwall and be equipped with top-level commentators. To serve Millwall in the best time slot and in terms of exposure.

Murdoch had a quarrel with Barnett, and it turned out that Barnett issued an ultimatum roguely. Do you agree? If you don’t agree, it’s fine, then don’t blame me for intervening in the management of Sky TV. Barnett has shares, but he used to be an investor. It made Murdoch restless, especially since Barnett was a native Englishman and Murdoch was an outsider.

Aldridge didn't know about this before, and he notified Barnett after everything was done. Aldridge didn't have any opinion on this except for accepting it.

The increase in revenue from broadcasting is secondary, and the rapid increase in popularity is the key.

Television broadcasting is an important way to influence the team's popularity. Of course, fans will like professional commentators. Otherwise, no matter how well Millwall plays, a commentator who doesn't have the slightest passion for commentary will not be able to arouse the interest of TV viewers.

As for whether Millwall can play well, Aldridge is at least confident that he will definitely be more interesting than flying long passes.

When players from both sides lined up to enter the field, Sky TV's live broadcast also began.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Old Trafford. I'm Martin Taylor and I'm joining you today as Andy Gray. Hi Andy.

Hi, Martin, today is the first round of the new season of the Premier League. Manchester United, who missed the last round of last season and reversed Blackburn's defending Premier League, played at home against Millwall, who performed amazingly in League One last season. Manchester United coach Ferguson said in the new season What do you think of that, Andy, after a big shakeup for the team this season, and they have a young roster for the new season?

I'm sure many fans have heard Alan Hansen's comment that Ferguson couldn't have won any titles with a bunch of kids. Interestingly, the average age of Millwall's starting XI is younger than Manchester United's. Len-Hansen also commented on Millwall. He said that he hoped that the children of Millwall would not be scared to pee their pants by the football of adults. Hehe, I don’t know if Millwall will be scared to pee their pants, but there is no doubt about it. Undoubtedly, last season's Millwall surprised other teams in League One. Today's game is a contest between two young teams. Compared with Millwall's overall youth, Manchester United's lineup is more reasonable. Ferguson hopes to use Complete the construction of the new generation of Red Devils with the old and the new.

Yes, let's see how young Aldridge will lead his team at Old Trafford today. Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides. The home team Manchester United wears the traditional red jersey and white jersey. Shorts, starting goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel, right back: Gary Neville, center back: Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, left back: Dennis Irwin. right midfielder: big David Beckham with Roy Keane and Nicky Butt in central midfield, Ryan Giggs in left midfield, Andy Cole and Brian McClair in forwards. The formation is still the traditional 442, because of Cantona's suspension and Mark Hughes' transfer to Chelsea in July. On the front line, we saw that Ferguson used Brian McClair, who had declined in the past two years. Manchester United's £850,000 top striker scored five goals in 40 league appearances last season, whereas just three years ago he was scoring more than 20 goals a season.

Manchester United's front line is worrying, so take a look at the Millwall line-up, they wear the traditional blue jersey. Starting goalkeeper: Kaserli Keller, right-back: Lilian Thuram, center Defenders: Jaap Stam, Gareth Southgate, Left Back: Lucas Neal, Right Midfield: Bernd Schneider, Midfielder: Claude Makelele, Pavel Nedved, left midfielder: Robert Pires, the double forwards are Henrik Larsson and David Trezeguet, who made opponents fearful in League One last season. Scored 66 goals! They are the kings of efficiency in the League One, but I don’t know if they can keep scoring goals when they come to the Premier League.”

Okay, viewers, the first round of the English Premier League in the 95/96 season is about to start. We saw that Millwall would kick off first in the first half, attacking from the left to the right of the camera.

Players from both sides opened up and prepared to kick off.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a firm expression, looking towards the direction of the center circle and murmured: Boys, come on!

Although he was only three months past his nineteenth birthday, he had lived almost fifty years back and forth, and in his eyes, Millwall players were lads.

As the referee who has been enforcing the law in English football since 1974, Paul Durgin has a very high prestige. He is the referee for today's game.

With his whistle, the game between Manchester United and Millwall officially started.

Trezeguet flicked the ball under his feet, Larson took advantage of the opportunity to pass back, the two forwards ran forward quickly, the ball returned to Nedved's feet, the opposing two forwards, Cole and McClair also Already pounced on.

Nedved calmly passed the ball back to Makelele, and the two forwards of Manchester United continued to press forward. Makelele kicked the ball forward and easily avoided the two forwards of Manchester United through cooperation with Nedved. Feng's pressing.

Nedved turned around, and not far away Keane, the titan, also pressed up. He directly passed a diagonal pass, and the ball rolled to the right. Schneider, who ran forward after kick-off, received it from the right. With the ball, Giggs did not quickly enter the game after the opening, allowing Schneider to easily plug in and firmly stop the ball at his feet.

Erwin lowered his center of gravity to prevent Schneider from breaking through himself after starting, but what was unexpected was that Schneider stopped the ball and took two steps forward, and directly passed the ball to the penalty area with a diagonal long pass!

Larson ran to the right to drive Pallister away, and the ball went over the heads of the two and flew towards the back point.

Trezeguet, who had already formed a tacit understanding with Larsson's running position, appeared there. Bruce, who will be 35 years old by the end of the year, did not expect the ball to fly to the penalty area at the beginning of the game. He just took his position and Trezeguet Just rushed past him!

When the old Manchester United captain turned around and chased after him, Trezeguet had already flipped his feet, kicked his legs to speed up and jumped up, facing the ball and diving to the top!

boom!

Trezeguet's big bald head had a perfect contact with the ball, and the angle was very well grasped. Even when he was heading the ball, he didn't close his eyes. The resolute eyes and the indomitable momentum were like a beast out of the cage!

This is Old Trafford!

Dream Theater!

Returning to the European stage from Argentina, it is not for someone to play a supporting role!

What about Manchester United?

I, David Trezeguet, aspire to be the best striker in the world!

Immortal tyrants, why rule the roost?

Danish mythical goalkeeper of the Red Devils, remember my name: David Trezeguet!

When Trezeguet flew out in a fish jump, Schmeichel seemed a little panicked with his arms outstretched, and his dilated pupils were full of disbelief: How long has it been since the opening? The lingering sound of the referee's whistle seems to be still lingering in my ears!

Trezeguet's header was as powerful as a volley with his feet. The angle was not tricky, but the speed was extremely fast, and it flew towards the near post.

The trajectory of the ball was above Schmeichel's head. He was not prepared enough. When the ball flew past his head, he jumped up and raised his hand to block it. However, it was too late!

Schmeichel fell back on the goal line, and the ball, after hitting the net, slowed down and spun on the turf inside the goal, hitting Schmeichel's head lightly.

Trezeguet fell to the ground after reaching the top and kept watching the trajectory of the ball. After seeing the ball go in, he wanted to get up, but he was so excited that he staggered and slipped on the ground. He managed to get up the second time. Roaring frantically, he ran to the coaching bench of the visiting team.

Camera, roll over to me!

Aim at the uncle!

I am the protagonist of Dream Theater!
