Chapter 698: Self-denial

Just last month, November.
There was a fierce conflict between Ferguson and Scholes.
The direct reason is that Scholes was arranged by Ferguson to play the League Cup, just after Manchester United were defeated 3-1 by Liverpool.
Scholes made a strike on Ferguson's arrangement, refusing to play.
Manchester United were 0:4 slaughtered by Arsenal in that League Cup.
The deeper reason behind it, Aldridge doesn’t know, but he can think of Scholes as his absolute main force in the national team, and in Manchester United, it was also the absolute main force, but this season, Ferguson replaced Scol with Belon Sri Lanka, the Mud Bodhisattva has a three-point fire, how can Scholes accept it?
Especially during the same period, he performed well in the national team, led England to slaughter Germany away in the previous month, defeated Greece, and entered the World Cup.
This season, it was very important for the international. The main position in Scholes club was lost. To go to the League Cup, a stage that belongs to the bench training in the eyes of the giants, he will of course be angry.
However, the strike is definitely wrong.
He and Ferguson's cold war also maintained a short period of time, and even the media revealed that Ferguson would clean Scholes in winter.
The league defeated Arsenal again, and was defeated by Chelsea to a three-game losing streak. Ferguson was still angry, his coach position was in jeopardy, he immediately put away the idea of ​​cleaning Scholes, today 45 minutes against Millwall, Ferguson awakened, Belon, not reliable, still rely on Scholes.
It can be said that Scholes's Red Devil career is very lucky. If you change the background, it is the Red Devils in the sky, and it is a three-match winning streak in the Manchester United League. Belon also performed well. The only disciple of Ferguson's coaching career who has such a serious "disobedience" behavior as a striker can still die in Manchester United!
Realizing that the importance of Scholes was not in today’s game, Ferguson began to ease his relationship with Scholes in the league’s three-game losing streak, and internally penalized Scholes for two weeks’ salary. Si apologized to the whole team, and then, the mentor and apprentice were considered good.
In the second half, when Scholes appeared, the long-dead Old Trafford sounded a warm applause.
Support for their own youth players is the norm of every club’s die-hard fans, just like the children in the eyes of their parents, watching them grow, watching their scenery, and watching them fall, no regrets, silent support, accompanied by wind and rain .
Aldrich also likes Scholes. Scholes is a half of his disciple. The so-called thing is rare. If Scholes is injured, he has no substitute for the national team. Joe Cole Not to mention the style of play, the gap between overall strength and Scholes spans a large level.
In his heart, Aldridge still hopes that Scholes will get at least proper and reasonable treatment at Manchester United, not material but athletic.
Not only is he hoping to guarantee the status of the international team, but he is also emotionally on his side.
So he was certainly dissatisfied with Ferguson's replacement of Scholes with Belon. After all, there was a conflict of interest.
Aldridge walked to Ferguson before the second half and said a word softly.
"If you have always trusted Paul, today's game will not be like this."
Aldrich turned and walked away. Ferguson's face was green, and he said to Aldridge's back, "This is Manchester United's business, my business, it has nothing to do with you!"
Aldrich turned around and spread his hands and said: "Yes, Alex, me and you, are the people who carry the club's honor and humiliation on the shoulders. The team is successful. It is ours. Failure is ours too! Maybe you think I’m talking coldly, then, I tell you, what I said to you in the summer of seven years ago is serious, and I can also tell you if you were willing to sell Paul to Me, I sold all the property and I will give you a record price in England to take him away!"
Ferguson's eyes were in a trance, and his thoughts really seemed to have returned to the summer of seven years ago. At that time, in the back garden of his home, 18-year-old Audridge came to ask for Beckham. Ferguson joked that he might do a deal with Audridge. Aldridge rebelled against the generals, and eventually changed the subject...
The on-site rebroadcast shot captured the scene of the two coaches talking, but did not include the content of the two men's conversation, but this scene is still fascinating.
Aldridge regretted walking back to the coach.
I found myself doing a stupid thing.
Just now I was unable to suppress the idea of ​​wanting to start for Scholes. As an opponent, he respected Scholes, but when he became the coach of the England national team, such emotions became complicated, because he is the coach, he took it for granted There will be emotions for protecting the calves. Between the club and the national team coach, working hours and tasks are clearly separated, but emotions are sometimes easily confused, just like sometimes people can't tell what is friendship and love.
Scholes played, but it was not a good time. It can be said that he played only when there was no suspense in the game.
And he is not a player of the kind of spiritual leader, he can not cheer up the whole team.
Three consecutive losing games in the league. Arsenal slaughtered in the League Cup. Official game. Manchester United lost in a row. 13 games were scored in four games. Today is the fifth game. The fourth game in the league was beaten in the first half. The gap between four and three goals has given Manchester United players a very heavy blow!
Everyone has limits.
One goal behind, the Red Devils rose to catch up.
Two goals behind, the Red Devils vowed to resist.
Three behind, the Red Devils exploded magically.
Behind, behind, behind, one, two, three, four, reverse? In the three previous league games, have the Red Devils ever tried it? All of their efforts ended in failure. If they fail too much, their will will sink.
What about giants?
The giants will not be possessed by the spirits. If they lose to a certain degree, the team will collapse, be depressed, and lose their motivation to resist fate!
Ferguson showed his stubbornness, and he must still inspire the team at halftime. After Manchester United played at Scholes in the second half, he still opened up to fight against Millwall.
Many Red Devils fans in the stands saw such a posture as Manchester United. They did not give up on the game and kept pursuing it. They believed that this was a fine tradition of Manchester United. The Red Devils spirit did not disappear, and the spirit of the Red Devils’ fighting spirit did not collapse. This deserves their praise. Therefore, every time the Red Devils attacked, there were applause and cheers from the stands.
The tactical effect brought by Scholes is obvious. That is to strengthen Manchester United's central defense. Pirlo can't organize the offense as leisurely as the first half, and the power of central penetration is also greatly reduced.
Aldrich also made corresponding adjustments.
Isn't Manchester United flying on two wings?
Millwall will use his own way to cure his own body, and blast your side!
Schneider and Larsson, Zambrotta and Ronaldinho, the combination of these two front and back offenses needless to say, the strength is obvious to all.
After they pressed up, Beckham and Giggs had to return to defense, but in the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition, as long as Manchester United is slightly out of touch, Millwall will launch a fatal blow from the side.
In the 52nd minute, Nedvide's long shot was blocked, Scholes took the ball to cooperate with Beckham, turned around and then received Beckham's back pass, and a long pass directly hung to Millwall On the field, Fanny took the right moment to start, just like the rhythm of going to the meeting alone.
"Wow, Scholes made an accurate long pass in the backcourt, Van Nistelrooy had a chance to get a single shot, hey, Southgate dragged Van Nistel, but Bout also abandoned the door for the first time, in the big penalty area Outside, the ball was kicked out, and the ball was passed to Materazzi, Millwall was shocked!"
Scholes's ball gave the Red Devils fans hope, and Ferguson also understood that in the British transcendence is a high-level confrontation, the faster the rhythm, the simpler and more effective the handling of the ball, Scholes just touched twice The ball, once back to Pirlo knocked the ball horizontally to Beckham, after passing the ball and turned over Pirlo, Beckham returned to him, he directly took the ball to find Fanny, is it simple? It is very simple and does not require any gorgeous skills, but the wisdom of playing the ball, the overall situation, and the timing are reflected at the moment when the pass turns and plays.
It can be said that the biggest weakness of Millwall's high-pressure forced tactics is that he was unsuccessful in counter-robbing. He was directly attacked by the opponent behind the defender. If the opponent wants to complicated the attack, Millwall is happy, the more simple the opponent is. In a rough manner, Millwall is more likely to be caught by opponents.
It’s not to say that a team that plays in the backcourt can certainly create a threat. First, the passer must have a footwork, second, there must be vision, and finally, the forward’s personal ability must also keep up, which itself requires the team’s strength. The level cannot be low.
Manchester United seems to have seen a promising goal, the formation has also been opened, Solskjaer has also begun to move forward, and can add an anti-offside point. Millwall would be unrealistic in trying to defend easily.
However, just 4 minutes later, Schneider made a chaos in the Manchester United defense after a pass on the right and broke the bottom. Neville's clearance was not clean. Henry took the opportunity to make another shot and went to the next city. He staged a hat trick. At the same time, it also expanded the score to 5:1.
Millwall is getting more and more excited. They are playing the average team now. They have very low satisfaction. They have a sense of routine numbness and the rhythm is basically the same. As long as the score gap is pulled to 2 goals, they will consciously start to control the game. Rhythm.
Only when they play the giants, they are very excited. Even though Manchester United's strength has declined this season, the name of the giants is still there. This dialogue of the giants is enough to give them the power to show their full strength.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Ronaldinho used a direct free kick to break through Bartz's ten fingers, and he also staged a hat trick.
The Old Trafford scoreboard clearly shows a score of 1:6 to make the Red Devils fans feel cut.
In injury time, Klose, who came off the bench, locked the final score at 7:1.
"7:1, this is a score that no one could have expected before the game, Andy, I don't know why, I suddenly felt that the score was very reasonable."
"Huh? 7:1, reasonable? Are you crazy?"
"No, Liverpool won Manchester United 3-1, Arsenal won Manchester United 3-1 in the league, Chelsea won Manchester United 3-0 in Old Trafford, Arsenal won most of the bench Manchester United in the League Cup At 4:0, Millwall's main force went all in. In 90 minutes, Arsenal played Manchester United 7:1 in 180 minutes. Don't you think that this score is actually reasonable?"
"Martin, Manchester United fans will hate you..."
"No, they will hate Hall!"
Aldrich did not shake hands with Ferguson after the game, some Red Devils fans in the stands were reluctant to leave. Perhaps, in the eyes of many Red Devils fans, Manchester United today showed bravery, magic, bloodiness, okay, whatever, whatever Right.
Aldrich doesn't care.
He took a 7:1 score and left the league with a huge advantage of 18 points before halfway through the league.
