The Young Lion

The sky of the Dream Theater is filled with the cheering of the Red Devils fans, and the atmosphere has a strong sense of shock.

Ten years later, when the proportion of non-local fans in the Red Devils stands exceeded 60%, I definitely couldn't see such a scene.

But it was because of this hot atmosphere that Millwall, who was a guest, inspired a stronger fighting spirit.

After the opening, Millwall was mainly anti-guest, firmly controlling the initiative of the game. Obviously, the Manchester United players were very tired, and their fight and running were at least one gear behind Millwall.

Scholes beat Pirlo from the front, double-backed Bart and Keane to limit Nedved, Manchester United made up their minds to compete with Millwall in the midfield for control.

But their running made their wishful thinking fall through.

The cooperation between Pirlo and Makelele in the past period has formed a tacit agreement. In the past, Makelele and Nedved were in the midfield. Before and after, in order to stabilize the defense, Makelele rarely stepped forward, so he and The distance between Nedved is a bit far, but Pirlo is different next to him. Pirlo liberated Nedved, and also activated Makelele’s offensive coping ability when Scholes ran back and forth When harassing Pirlo, Pirlo transferred the ball to Makelele's feet, and then proceeded to the next step by running position and Scholes' choice.

Cole withdrew from the harassment, Southgate topped up and participated in the offensive response. In the midfield and backcourt space, Millwall would never easily drop the ball.

Faced with pressure, Pirlo took the ball out of the ball and either passed or returned. After three consecutive feet, he rushed forward, Makelele passed the ball back to his feet, and Pirlo threw away Sco The defense of Coles, followed by a direct pass to send the ball to the foot of Nedved. When Nedved's foot with the ball on his back just touched the ball, he was knocked down from behind and Keane took it directly. foul.

The referee Boll halted the game and awarded a free kick.

Keane stepped back without theory, staring at Nedved.

When the Czech got up, he put the ball under his feet, the waist was not straightened, but he kicked the ball towards the back with one foot.

Quick kick!

Pirlo took the ball near the middle circle. After stopping the ball, he passed a long pass over the spot and the ball directly passed the top of Manchester United's defensive midfielder.

The left wing Larson was in front of the penalty area, blocking his back with Neville's chest to remove the ball, and then at the moment the ball fell, he used the outer foot to knock the ball away from the side, from stopping the ball to passing, the action was done in a simple, concise elegant!

Almost at the same time, Capdevila plugged in on the left with a high speed and the ball went straight to the bottom line. Neville turned around and chased it obviously slower.

Capdevila's dribbling bottom allowed the entire Manchester United defense to turn around and recover, but he took a more decisive pass.

This is a foot on the earth, the ball quickly flew to the front door area, Trezeguet and David May were on the same point, but this made Schmeichel dare not attack and tried to occupy the body with his body. Trezeguet knew that he couldn't catch up with the ball, so he deliberately strengthened his physical confrontation, so that May could not make it!

The ball rolled over in front of them, Schmeichel was shocked, turned around and ran to the back post, but he did not have the ball fast, Shevchenko unexpectedly patted the horse and hit the ball with a kick. Goal.

"Shevchenko, Shevchenko, Shevchenko! What a powerful striker! He scored again! And at Old Trafford, Capdevila's defender has been stable this season Sit firmly in the main position, his performance is amazing, he is a full-back, but he not only needs to defend at Millwall, but also to do the work of frontier assists! Millwall leads Manchester United by one goal away !"

After the goal, Shevchenko pointed to Capdevila and ran over. The other teammates also ran over. They hugged tightly, symbolizing their unity!

"Martin, this goal looks simple, but did you find that Nedvide kicked in, Pirlo made a long pass, Larsson scored the ball, Capdevila crossed, Trezeguet in front Point attracted defensive attention, Shevchenko inserted a goal after the break, Millwall's frontcourt offensive players are involved in the whole process of this goal, if only the frontcourt players, Manchester United may still be able to defend, but Capde Vera's unexpected assist came forward, which made a loophole in Manchester United's defense. Look, Neville stopped Beckham. I guess he must make the opponent want to go back to the defense deeper. Otherwise, Neville alone wants to Defend Larson and Capdevila? No kidding, it's already difficult to defend Larson without making mistakes."

"Oh, I agree with you. Ferguson's expression is not very good. Uh, in the past few games, his expression hasn't looked good. He pointed at his disciples, and it seems to make them work harder."

Aldridge cheered his arms, then raised his fists proudly.

The camera was aimed at him, and the boos of Old Trafford gave him.

It doesn't matter, just shush.

The head coach who will be frightened by boos has a fart future!

Anfield, Highbury, White Hart Lane, Stamford Bridge, Upton Park...Every booing course will remember me!

After celebrating, the players on the court were very calm. Nedved jogged back for the first time, and the expression on his face instantly became ancient.

After the kick-off, Manchester United wanted to reverse the decline, but their offensive formation was fragmented by Millwall's defense from the frontcourt. Beckham stopped the ball on the wing and Larson came to his side to make In the defensive position, he took the ball a step forward, waiting for Capdevila to steal the ball and then passed the ball to Larson. Beckham counter-robbed and Larsen kicked the ball. Came with Capdevila for a one-on-one.

Beckham ran back, Capdevila stopped the ball instead, and passed the ball to Makelele, who was in the back. The pace of the game was firmly in the hands of Millwall.

Before Beckham ran back halfway, Makelele and Pirlo made a two-for-one, and the ball passed to the foot of the wing of Capdevila.

Capdevila took the ball and made a fake pass. Beckham was tricked into losing his weight. Capdevila quickly took the ball forward. Neville had to pull the edge and blocked it. Capde Vera simply didn't give the opponent a chance to get close, and passed the ball to Larson, who was in the front and bottom.

Larson, who got the ball on the bottom line, attracted May to defend. Instead, he took the ball back and moved two steps, then passed the ball to Nedved, who inserted the ball, and then turned around and cut into the front. De Vide was so impressed that he kept kicking the ball back to the front and tore apart Manchester United's back line.

Larson dexterously pushed the ball into the far corner to easily put the ball into the net.

Schmeichel growled angrily at the back, while May and Palister raised their hands to signal Larson's offside.

Before Larson shot, the referee raised his flag to signal him offside.

Old Trafford made a false alarm.

Larson's expression was a bit depressed with his hands on his hips: obviously a good shot!

The cooperation just now was brilliant, but he was sentenced to offside.

Aldridge went to put pressure on the fourth official, whether he was offside or not, he would do so.

He protested to the judges one after another, and played back through the slow mirror on the big screen. It was difficult to say whether Larson was offside. In a slight way, from a neutral point of view, both judgment and non-judgment are acceptable. The referee cannot be asked to be more accurate than the machine.

Especially if Larson had a recovery after the pass and then rushed forward, just to counter offside, but if he went back from the offside position, it would be subjectively easier to be judged as offside.

Manchester United escaped, and the game continued. The eagerness to equalize the score made Manchester United's formation must be pushed forward, and Scholes has not completely stood in the front waist position. Last season, he still served as a shadow forward. On the road to help Manchester United win the championship, ten goals are precious.

Pirlo's historical defense was criticized as a short board. Aldrich believes that the big reason is that he has been trained as a midfielder when he debuted. In this era, you can't say that the midfielder does not practice defensive skills, but the classic midfielder The defensive ability is really terrible, and because of this, the classical midfielder will disappear from Europe in the future.

Therefore, in the past year or so, Aldridge’s training to transform Pirlo not only allowed him to understand the importance of organization in his position, but also strengthened his defense, even though the explosiveness of speed still cannot make People are satisfied, but the defensive consciousness has been greatly improved from the position. The enthusiasm for fighting is not related to ability. The key is consciousness. It is like Harvey in the future. You can’t say how good his defensive skills are, but in In the midfield, he is crucial to the entire team if he participates in defense.

Pirlo is enough to harass Scholes. Once Scholes shows signs of going forward, Makelele, who is responsible for interception, will completely kill Manchester United's offensive.

As a result, Manchester United has tried several times to give the ball to Scholes to organize the offense has not been effective, playing the wing will also fall into the defense of Millwall's offensive players after retreating compressed space.

Several offenses have had little effect. Keane chose to take the ball forward. He also has a good ability to organize the offense. However, he obviously has more dribbling this time and was more actively run by Nedved from the side. Fang steals the ball, Nedvide who hits the counter-attack on the spot and passes the ball to Trezeguet, who then retreats forward, and then strides forward.

Butt hurriedly stared at Nedved, but before he posted it, Trezeguet passed the ball back to Nedved, who picked the ball into the penalty area, and the former turned and rushed to the penalty area. , The timing of passing was combined just right, the ball crossed the top of Paliste and May, and Trezeguet rushed forward to the small penalty area, the two central defenders had to turn around, and Palestine stumbled. Trezeguet fell.

Ball decisively halted the game, fingered a penalty, and pulled out a yellow card to Paliste.

Old Trafford was full of boos and felt Trezeguet was a fake.

But through slow motion, this is definitely a penalty.

If it was not Trezeguet who was sticking to Palistr and not rushing forward with an absolute single-handed opportunity, I am afraid it would not be as simple as a yellow card.

Aldridge is still very dissatisfied, he thinks it should be a red card.

The fourth official chatted with him patiently.

"Fifty and fifty, Schmeichel also has a chance to destroy the ball."

"My players have already started to speed up. At the same distance, Schmeichel who is still standing on the goal line and then starts to accelerate, can it be faster than my forward?"

"Ah, it didn't happen, we can only guess, do you say yes?"

"You say it's a bit rogue. Forget it. I won't argue with you. I won't complain if I can't score a penalty."

Aldridge said at the end that he smiled with the fourth official.

Sometimes the referee is difficult to do.

Larson stood in front of the penalty kick, facing the booing of Old Trafford resounding in the sky, he calmly approached, then calmly pushed the ball into the corner of the goal, Schmeichel guessed the direction but couldn't get the ball Block out, after all, it is a theoretical dead end.

Millwall led by two goals away, and this was only 28 minutes in the first half.
