Chapter 695: Counterattack

Ferguson had the same expression from the moment he appeared on the court to the start of the game, but in fact there was no expression.
Today, Manchester United's platoon formation has returned to tradition, or in these years, except for playing Millwall, they have always lived like this, flying together on both wings and absolutely attacking.
However, since Millwall began to show the momentum of dominating the rivers and lakes, Ferguson also had to let Manchester United begin to restrict Millwall in a targeted manner. Therefore, in the past few confrontations, the formation of platoons and the tactical play have changed significantly.
This season's vision was originally very beautiful, joined Belon, added some changes on the basis of two wings flying, to make the play more abundant, just like Millwall, eighteen skills are afraid to be proficient, At least it wasn't just about going back and forth with those three axes. Once it was restricted by the opponent, there was no backhand.
Thousands of thousands of calculations, did not count on a bad luck autobiography.
Stam has to go. There is nothing to dispute. If he stays, the locker room order and the authority of the head coach are the same as in the past?
After the core of the defense, Manchester United's back line has become a sieve, which has been devastated by various teams in the Premier League.
Just three games in a row, Millwall went home again, could Ferguson do?
To put it bluntly, either defend or attack.
Going to the set of the mean, it must be hopeless and undoubtedly defeated!
Defensive, at the door, Manchester United's face is gone?
Moreover, on this line of defense, even if 5 guards and 3 backs swing the bus, Ferguson feels unsure.
It can only be attacked. If you lose the ball, you will definitely lose the ball, but if the offense can play a strange effect, you can score one more than the opponent. It doesn’t matter if you lose a few. Besides, Millwall’s defense is not super first-class. In suppressing opponents, defending instead of attacking!
Manchester United simply played the counterattack, counting after 90 minutes, who scored more goals, and whose goalkeeper turned back to pick up the ball less often.
Aldridge figured out Ferguson's tactical intentions from the formation of Manchester United.
It is no exaggeration to say that Manchester United's lineup strength this season has fallen from the top of the first-class level to the super-first-class level. Sometimes, with one less person, the decline in the strength of the lineup is very obvious.
After the black wind double shame, Manchester United has fallen out of super first-class strength. After Stam left, Manchester United alone is the last line of defense at the end of this first class, which makes the overall strength decline seriously, plus Veron replaces Scole Sri Lankan is not as good as Scholes, Manchester United's decline in strength is not in dispute.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester United organized an offensive, and Belon shot Schneider behind with a long pass in the midfield. Schneider actually came to the top!
Giggs quickly flew to the bottom line, stopped the ball before the ball bounced again, and then quickly slashed into the penalty area. Solskjaer rushed forward and then braked back to win the space. Giggs passed the ball to So. Erskjaer, the latter stopped the ball, aimed at the goal, and kicked the ball.
Bout prepared enough to block the ball, but the ball was still in the penalty area, Giggs first came and made another foot shot, but Bout hurriedly blocked the ball with the raised thigh, but the ball almost flew horizontally Towards the other side of the goal, Fanny just in front of the goal line subconsciously hit the body, the ball entered the goal.
"Solskjaer, Giggs, Fanny! 21 seconds, opening 21 seconds, Manchester United scored! This is an unexpected result for everyone, Manchester United made a fantastic start! This attack originated from Belon’s Accurate long pass, Schneider's top error, Solskjaer's shot is already very good, Bout continuously saves Solskjaer's shot, Giggs makes up the shot, but Fanny is lucky, at the goal Qian Lao scored a goal, he blocked the ball like a stake and scored a goal! 1:0, Manchester United lead."
Seeing the team score, Ferguson exhaled, but he did not have any expression of excitement or celebration.
If the football game is as good as 30 seconds, Manchester United scores in 21 seconds, celebrates, restarts, and then the game ends immediately. Manchester United wins 1:0 and wins the ball...
However, there was still a long 89 minutes, he knew that the game against Millwall, less than the last second, don't think that saw the end.
Aldrich put the bag in one hand, stretched out the other, and stared at Schneider with a cold face. He seemed silently asking: What are you doing?
The defender's peak, even the full-back, is a huge mistake.
With no expression on his face, Schneider made a gesture of apology towards his teammates and secretly gritted his teeth.
It is true that he made a pre-judgment error and there is nothing to deny.
Millwall’s players’ expressions didn’t change much, the game was just beginning, and a goal fell behind, giving them some pressure, but the pressure resistance that has been tempered over the years, especially when the game time is still 89 minutes, they did not. Any confusion.
The game restarted, Millwall kicked in, and after a series of small-scale cooperation, Nedvide came to the penalty area for a long shot knocking on the mountain and the tiger was sent out by Bartzto.
Three minutes later, Manchester United's attack was frustrated. Belon was snatched by Nedved and Pirlo and lost the ball. Nedved turned and Belon went to grab Pirlo. The latter gently passed the ball forward. Devade took the ball and moved forward calmly.
In front of Keane, Nedvide passed the ball to the left and Ronaldinho took the ball.
Now, the smart and dexterous little Rhodes playing the ball will go straight to the middle of the road. He doesn't know why. Anyway, Manchester United's restricted area is very empty before and after today.
Only Keene was alone, and Keane still had to follow Nedved, Ronaldinho didn't have time to think, but Aldridge knew the reason, because in the past, the center-forward Scholes would return to defend here.
Ronaldinho took the ball to the front center zone of the penalty area, Phil Neville played the right back, instinctively went out, but he found that he could not keep up with the speed of Ronaldinho's cut to the middle road, he passed again, and his brother Gary Nei There was a conflict in Ville's position, and it happened that he saw Zambrotta coming up again, and he did not dare to lose his position too seriously.
Ronaldinho brought the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Nedved slanted into the ribs between Gary Neville and Phil Neville, and Keane watched Nedved's running position. If he did not follow, he would make trouble Not good is Ronaldinho Ronaldo, easily penetrated the defense line.
But at this time Henry pulled out again, Keane gave up Nedved, and instead stared at Henry, blocking Ronaldinho and Henry's cooperation, Gary Neville went to stare at Nedved, and Larson now again Blanking the rib on the other side, Blank moved two steps to the left.
All Manchester United players think that Ronaldinho will use a straight ball to penetrate Manchester United's defense, but Ronaldinho uses Henry as a wall to separate Keane and enter the penalty area. Blank and Gary Neville are free because of the defense. Instead, the middle road portal exposed the flaws.
Blank used his experience to decisively block the middle, but he was no longer young, and his speed was still slow. Ronaldinho made a change when he came to block, and directly brought the ball to the small penalty area line, facing Bartz , Ronaldinho easily pushed the goal to the dead end.
After scoring, Ronaldinho steadily ran to the side with the gesture of "6".
"Ronaldinho performed another magical performance! He made a long-distance attack from the side, as if he had killed a road from Manchester United's middle road, kicked off Keane, passed Blank and then took the ball. Easy to enter the gate guarded by Bartz, is this still Manchester United? This kind of defense makes people feel incredible! Manchester United's leading advantage has only been maintained for 5 minutes, and the score is now 1:1."
Keane was very angry about losing the ball. He kept talking to Belon before the kick-off.
It can be said that Millwall is only the attack group of this trident Ganedved. Even Manchester United, it is necessary to ensure that there are 6 defensive players.
Because the situation like that just happened frequently.
When the three attackers stand in the empty position of the four guards, it is dangerous, Keane is blocking Henry, and Ronaldinho is the fourth attacker, and Manchester United also needs to add a defensive player to follow Ronaldinho.
At that moment, Manchester United's full-back could not block the offensive player with an empty front rib.
The situation is clear at a glance. Is Larsen close to the goal after the cut, or is Sylvester close to the goal? Larson can even shoot without stopping the ball. How many moves does Sylvester need to limit Larson's shot? It is this factor that makes the double centre-back must be distracted to block the rib empty. The middle road portal may expose danger.
Old Trafford seems to be used to being scored by Millwall.
Manchester United fans have numb expressions, and they also want to ask, is there any team in this world that can limit Millwall's offense?
Ferguson and Heathfield had the same idea.
Yes, there is definitely a way to limit Millwall's attack!
Add one more to the six defensive players!
Like Aldridge's tactics used in England, 4 guards plus 3 midfielders.
But with such a tactical system, it is really difficult for the giants to persevere for a long time, and if you do not insist, there will be no team tacit understanding, and the technical and tactical power will not be exerted. It is just an empty shelf.
This is why when Mourinho’s Chelsea promoted Europe with a tactical system of approximately 4 guards and 3 backs, the outside world will not widely recognize Chelsea as a Premier League giant, because the giants, in addition to their heritage, are based on the pursuit of victory. , Have a higher pursuit.
Victory, which team does not pursue victory? What is the difference between giants and civilian teams?
But like Real Madrid's football philosophy that always pursues a gorgeous style, even if it is missed in the Champions League, people will not remove the word giants from its top.
Aldridge saw Ronaldinho score a goal and exhaled, not too surprised.
Manchester United's defense, in addition to the lack of mainstay Stam, there is another layer of the most critical is Scholes was replaced by Belon.
In this way, Millwall's midfielder's attack is unimpeded!
From organization to infiltration, to the threat in the final restricted zone, this change is very critical.
First of all, Belon was unable to play a significant role in procrastinating and harassing in the midfield and frontcourt. Secondly, the lack of positive defensive ability and the ability to return to defense declined linearly. Playing ordinary teams may not see a particularly big problem.
But in the face of Millwall's superb offensive ability, especially in the context of the super fast attack and defense rhythm of the Premier League, the disappearance of Belon in defense almost exposed Manchester United's defense line to Millwall's firearms.
Millwall itself also has weaknesses at this point, and Pirlo's defensive ability can't be expected, but Pirlo can play harassment and use reasonable positions to help, because its position is behind, it can act as a move The role of obstacles, Belon is a center-forward, and in Lazio, he hit the front waist again. He has a stronger forward consciousness, and he can’t take care of it in the back. When he turns around and runs back, sorry, he has been thrown off the street. .
