Chapter 280: Christmas war

Old Trafford, Dream Theater.
As Aldridge talked to Ferguson, the mild sunlight was still shining on this field, but when the game took less than ten minutes, there was light rain in the sky.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines, his coat was already wet, he seriously commanded the team, Lampard and Goodjohnson could not replace the role of Nedved and Larson, the two played one midfielder and one winger. Are the most important roles in the offensive link.
Millwall trailed by points, and Aldridge was here as a defending champion. Naturally, he would not let the team be conservative. If only a draw was needed, he would lose to Manchester United in momentum.
He thought Ferguson would play more conservatively, but even if Ferguson was double-destroyed by Aldridge last season, he is still playing the team's best at home today.
Manchester United has changed, a new generation of Red Devils under Ferguson's training, and it's time to get results!
Not to mention technical and tactical, but the player's running, Milvolmo said that it is an advantage, and even the most basic balance can not be maintained.
Especially the two sidelines in Manchester United's tactical link, Giggs and Beckham, this pair of golden wings not only can one pass and one can pass, but also the hardworking king on the court!
In the past, Millwall hit the Manchester United side and the back of the avant-garde failed to defend the picture, now almost can not see.
Ten years later, a player can run 10,000 meters in a game is the normal level, can run 12 thousand, 13,000, that is the iron man symbol.
However, Beckham's average running distance per game is now more than 13,000, and the highest can break 15,000!
The same is true for Giggs on the other side, so when the two full-backs can run to the full line to make up for the defense, and at the same time, they must not be neglected when attacking, even if there are only two Manchester United midfielders, Keane and Scole Sri Lanka, but they will never be at a disadvantage when defending.
Scholes, a player who changed from a shadow striker to an offensive midfielder, also made a leap this season. Last season, the performance was average, but this season, the offensive and defensive ends are becoming masters, with tough guy Keane, and Manchester United. The combination of four players in the midfield is like any giant!
The only bad thing is the striker combination. Solskjaer truce due to injury. The combined power of Andy Cole and Sheringham can’t be complimented. Of course, they all have goals, but they don’t deserve to be a big striker. The number.
In the bleak wind and rain, Aldridge was helpless.
Lampard not only failed to replace Nedved, but also had a completely different style from Nedved.
He is in the position of the front waist. If it is a long shot from the back, then the position should be further back. He can’t do the consciousness of the ball under the cover of the striker to break through the opponent’s defense. Whether he has the ability, Aldridge does not know, But Lampard has habitually shot from within the range outside the penalty area.
Pirlo cooperated with him and it was difficult to form a tacit understanding. After seeing the free time, he gave a straight ball, but Lampard always thought that it was for the striker, not for him.
On the sidelines, Aldridge pointed to Schmeichel and shouted to Lampard: In the attack, your opponent is the Danish goalkeeper, not Keane!
Lampard was a little bit confined to the confrontation of the position on the court. Perhaps in the Millwall formation, Audridge should fix him in the position of Pirlo or Makelele.
But the former Lampard is going to be behind Pirlo and Barak. In the latter, Gattuso is also in front of him.
This is really a headache for Aldridge, no way, who makes Millwall's front waist more like a second forward.
Today's game is a confrontation between the Premier League powerhouses. The pace of the game is exceptionally fast. Manchester United was originally known for playing fast. By relying on the speed of the side lanes, they can directly create the biggest threat.
Scholes advanced forward in the attack, and after completing the cooperation with Giggs, he continued to move forward, but was put down by Makelele.
There was endless light rain, and in front of Millwall's wall, Beckham stood.
A free kick less than thirty yards from the goal, Aldridge paced back and forth on the sidelines, looking a little heavy.
Beckham's free kicks have been repeated this season, and English football has also set off a pursuit of Beckham.
When the ball flew out of his feet, Aldridge's heart sank.
That track looks too familiar!
A free-kick with a clear arc crossed the wall and flew over Southgate's head. It was almost a bit short of hitting the ball.
Butt didn't make a save, the ball was originally playing on the side of the wall, and it was a banana ball with an exaggerated curvature. It was hanging at the dead end of the goal. When he reacted, he could only rely on luck.
"Beckham's signature free kick broke! After Elvin, a free kick player no longer takes a free kick, Manchester United finally has another free kick master! This is their nuclear weapon! Beckham grabs The only weakness in the Millwall defense is the height of air defense! The only combination of Elgra and Southgate is the height that can be criticized. Beckham’s free kick will be higher than Southgate. Special's head, and then flying under the beam to score the goal, Hall may be thinking: If it is Stam, this ball will definitely be pushed out by the defender's head, but unfortunately, Stam is already the person opposite. "
Millwall players were slightly frustrated and were scored free kicks, leaving them without temper.
Is it really to blame Southgate for not growing two centimeters tall?
The Red Devils fans in Old Trafford celebrated wantonly.
Leading, we finally lead the fuck!
Since the upgrade of Millwall, the Red Devils have only defeated Millwall in the community shield. In the first season, the two teams drew in the league. In the cup, Millwall defeated the opponent. In the second season, Millwall directly doubled. Not even the community shield.
In the third season, the Red Devils finally took the lead in the contest!
Referee, the game is over, you can blow the whistle, we will win one!
Millwall fans are more calm.
This was only 29 minutes in the first half, and even half of the game didn't arrive. Anxiously, the mad lion could pull it back sooner or later. Don't look at the fact that we are missing two main forces and still abuse the Red Devils!
Today is Christmas, and fans who come to cheer on are going to collect Christmas gifts from the Red Devils.
In the first half of injury time, Millwall also received a direct free kick for the first 30 yards of the penalty area.
Keane didn't know if he had an enmity with Lampard. The community shield shoveled the opponent and hurt himself. Today, when he defended Lampard, his movements were obviously too large. The referee couldn't stand it anymore. Wall free kick and gave Keane a yellow card.
Three people stood in front of the free kick.
Schneider, Lampard, Pirlo.
The characteristics of the three free kicks are different.
Schneider's arc shot angle, Lampard pays attention to straight and straight, Pirlo is still scoring into his own fallen leaves.
Seeing these three standing in front of the ball, Schmeichel shouted loudly at his teammates' position, looking fearless and fearless, but in fact he was trembling.
Grass, who are you to fight? Which side? Do you play Yin or hard?
Schneider ran past, and Lampard ran past. After the two crossed, Pirlo finally took the penalty. The ball did not cross the wall, but he got through the cracks and played the same thing. This side of the wall.
Schmeichel turned his head and looked at the ball quietly under the net.
He angrily shouted at his teammates at the platoon.
"What am I talking about? Who the did you do? Who the jumped sideways and gave the gap to let the ball come over? If Lao Tzu becomes a loser again today, be careful!"
Schmeichel hated Millwall too. After playing with Millwall for the past two years, he couldn't sleep well a week. Once, twice, three times, how many times can't be counted. Is he still the Danish goalkeeper? As long as you play Millwall, you will soon become a plague!
"Uh, Millwall equalized the score with a free kick. Although it seems that Pirlo’s free kick is not as beautiful as Beckham’s, the effect is the same. The crazy lion equalized the score before entering the locker room. This is A very crucial goal, if you take one goal behind and enter the second half, the situation will be very unfavorable."
Aldrich midfielder spit out tasks with the players, especially focusing on adjusting the offensive routine on the front line.
Goodjohnson, Trezeguet, and Shevchenko could not form a joint force. His running position was a bit dead, and he would only hold the left side. Aldridge kept repeating him to go to the middle and right. Concentrate on one side to break Manchester United's position defense.
It also made Lampard observe the situation more calmly. As long as there is time in front, he can go to the position. Don’t always think about connecting another foot from his front waist in the frontcourt, and don’t rigidly block the front zone Either take a long shot and try to break through bolder!
After coming out of the locker room, Aldridge returned to the sidelines and looked up at the sky anxiously.
The sky in Manchester is no different from a woman's face.
Say it changes.
No, it was clear that the rain stopped before the halftime break, but the result was less than 20 minutes, and the rain started again, and it was getting bigger and bigger!
The two sides probably did not expect the weather to become so fast, but Manchester United have been playing in Manchester for many years and have long been used to this kind of weather change.
At the beginning of the second half, Zambrotta slipped to the ground while defending on the left, not only fell on the court, but also injured himself!
Although Beckham has a long running distance, he is not fast, and it seems to be an ordinary stop ball moving laterally, but Zambrotta fell down while moving laterally, so Beckham took the ball forward to the bottom, Then a precise cross ball hit the goal, Sheringham headed the ball, Bout blocked the ball, Cole caught up with the foot, and Bout blocked the ball.
Crazy Lions fans have not yet marveled that Bout is extremely brave in high and low blocks, but the ball that hit the big penalty area line was sent into the goal by Scholes.
The ball was still reflected on Makelele's calf.
Bute stood up with his hands on his hips, his face helpless.
Manchester United fans burst into tears, and it was not easy for his mother to score a goal.
Sheringham, Cole, two forwards, can you two be more reliable? So the ball cannot be scored at close range, and we must rely on Scholes to solve the battle. Grass, our heart disease is about to explode!
Aldridge looked a little ugly on the sidelines, walked to the bench to allow Neil to warm up quickly, and then replaced Zambrotta who sprained his ankle when he fell.
The Italian guy is very depressed.
Capdevila recently recovered from his injuries, but he firmly occupied the main position. Seeing that he could stabilize the main position and be able to clarify the status of the team, he was injured again in this rain battle.
God doesn't help him!
The fans of the crazy lion face were worried, and they were still in the first half, but the second half was different. The team fell behind and the main force hurt one. It was really unfavorable for years.
After Neil took over from Zambrotta, this passive substitution would give new players some time to adjust to the rhythm of the game, so Millwall actively contracted for five or six minutes, after Neil fully entered the game. , And then broke out across the board.
