Chapter 71: Take turns

Dream Theater Old Trafford is dead!
Manchester United fans were stunned. Even many of the fans who entered later were still looking for their seats, but stood in the aisle and stared blankly at the stadium.
Millwall's few thousands of fans were also stunned.
As if everything is not true.
Have we scored?
So fast?
real or fake?
In the opening remarks of the live broadcast, Gray and Taylor said a lot. Both of them were ready to take a break and drink a spit, but they did not expect the goal to come so fast, so they quickly started a passionate commentary into the microphone.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Millwall scored the first attack on the opening! Let's take a closer look at the whole process of this goal. Nedved scored the ball in the middle and Schneider inserted the ball in front. No breakthrough, Elvin did not rush to grab, Bart was running over to help defense, but Schneider made a long pass to pass the ball to the penalty area, cunning Larson's early running position attracted Palister to the side There is a lot of free time in Manchester United, oh, Bruce is old, I have to admit, he is old! When the ball is already flying to the penalty area, he realized that he had to turn back and run back to stop Trezeguet, Trey Zegei broke the deadlock with a beautiful diving jump, Schmeichel had no choice but to get too close, even if the ball flew over him, Millwall, is this Millwall? Too difficult Believe it!"
"Official statistics have not come out yet, but we can be sure by replay that the time of this goal was generated between 7 seconds and 8 seconds. There is no doubt that this is the fastest goal record in the Premier League, young Treze Guy, he has the potential to become a great shooter, young Millwall, Alan Hanson said half right, someone will scare his pants, but it can never be Millwall. Martin, is this goal an accident? ?"
"Andy, I don’t agree with the unexpected statement. By no means, analyzing the running position of Millwall players, it can be found that this is definitely an excellent offense, but the goal was scored on the first attempt and the goal was lost. It’s Manchester United, and it’s an accident that fans can comfort themselves, but I think it’s Millwall’s strength.

Trezeguet rushed to the visiting team's coach seat. Millwall's teammates rushed to him along the way. They have reason to excite and have reason to celebrate. This is the stage of the Premier League and Old Trafford. !
Aldridge waved his arms. After seeing this goal, he was too excited to extricate himself, but he still restrained himself.
Seeing Trezeguet ran over, Aldridge did not hide, Treizege jumped in front of him, Aldridge embraced him, and he backed up again and again. Fortunately, Jenson and Babu were in He supported his body in the back, otherwise he would fall back to the ground if he didn't do well.
The other players also rushed over, and everyone gathered in a ball, screaming and roaring to celebrate this doomed goal in history.
Because this is the first Premier League goal in the history of Millwall Club.
Whether the record of the fastest goals will be maintained in the future is hard to say, but it is enough to stay in the fans' memory for a long time.
After the players celebrated, Aldridge gritted his teeth and asked the players, "Now that we are ahead, what should we do? Remember what I said before the game?"
Trezeguet, Nedved, Larson, Schneider and others all said the same: "Remember!"
Never benevolent, stepped on Manchester United in one fell swoop!
"Okay, let's go, the game will not stop, our footsteps will not stop!"
Aldridge was not stunned by the lead. At this time, if he is proud, then this goal is not only an advantage, but a bad sign of defeat.
Millwall players walked towards the half with a spirit of enthusiasm, they would not despise every word Aldridge said, last season has proved Aldridge's coaching ability, and this game, Aldridge The analysis at the pre-match meeting yesterday was very clear, and their tactics also worked.
"Manchester United are two champions and one runner-up in the past three Premier Leagues. They are well-deserved powerhouses. Therefore, in the Premier League, especially in Old Trafford, the vast majority of teams are visiting here, after the opening Definitely will be based on defense, Manchester United will also control the game in their rhythm, they are accustomed to greet the enemy with a high attitude, we must beat them by surprise, from the first minute of the game to speed up the game rhythm, they thought we were like this Will be handcuffed or anxious, wrong! We will kick them from the comfortable position high above! Let them run behind our butt!"
After the opening, the offensive was shown without temptation. Millwall players firmly executed Aldridge's tactics, and in return, they scored an 8-second goal!
The Manchester United players are ready for kick-off, and their expressions are still normal, just a little more serious.
They are Manchester United. If they will be beaten by such a bad start, or mental breakdown, then they are not Red Devils, nor are they wearing Manchester United jerseys.
Ferguson didn’t even move even after losing the ball. He still sat in the coach seat chewing gum. He has been in this position for nine years. This is the tenth year. If Manchester United loses a ball, he will run to the sidelines. Yelling, then he had been fired.
The control of the team, the red blood and the self-adjustment ability that are tuned are not just the superficiality of the player's ability on the court.
It can even be said that in the era of Ferguson, the Red Devils Manchester United did not necessarily excel in the players on the field, but the stronger spiritual attributes have made many unpretentious players possess a kingly temperament and become more technical and tactical in team operations.
Manchester United reopened the ball, because the ball was dropped first, so the tentative stabilization of the rhythm slowly eliminated the opponent's set, and Manchester United's offensive posture was quickly pulled away, playing their best wings and flying together!
Thuram despised some young Manchester United wing players, and on his side corresponds to a new generation of Welsh king, 21-year-old Giggs.
After Giggs speeded up Thuram with a steering dribble, Thuram realized how stupid he was!
Especially in the case where Aldridge had specifically advised Giggs before the game.
Thuram's contempt was only subconscious, he quickly repaired the sheep and quickly shoveled the ball from the side of the Giggs from the side.
Aldridge saw this scene on the sidelines and said nothing. According to the previous defensive characteristics of Thuram, it is directly posted to eat Giggs with his body, which will not give the other party space to accelerate, but He was able to adjust quickly, without being clean, indicating that it was not too late for him to retreat from the cliff.
Millwall's midfield contraction and retracement are deep, because Manchester United has put a lot of pressure on the midfield, although Manchester United cannot find a good shooting opportunity.
By this time, Millwall was truly learning the pace of the Premier League game.
The player's foot technology has a leap forward than the Premier League player. The speed, the rhythm of the ball's operation, especially the long-range transfer of a large range. When it is free, it will be caught by Manchester United. Beckham's long-pass transfer on the right The Keen, who can attack and defend well, is dispatched in the middle, and with the breakthrough of Giggs, the attack of the three people makes Millwall's defensive players exhausted.
Manchester United's two-wing flying tactics are very mature, and rely on midfield scheduling, their control of the rhythm is difficult for other Premier League teams to match.
The transfer frequency of the ball in the longitudinal direction is much greater than the blind direct transmission in the horizontal direction.
Giggs crossed the middle, Bart stepped forward to receive the ball and gave it to Keane, Keene gave Beckham again, Beckham passed the ball to Cole who retreated, Cole could not turn around, the ball passed to the side again At the foot of Giggs.
The large-scale vertical transfer of the ball back and forth is like a pendulum that swings constantly, making full use of the width of the court to play. This will inevitably cause the opponent's overall formation to tilt to the side where the ball is located. When the opponent's formation tilts at a slow speed When he moved the ball rate at Manchester United, it was empty, and it came out. At that time, the threat of flying together would suddenly increase.
It is unrealistic to rely solely on a single line, or midfielder, or defender line to make up the width of the stadium from 70 to 80 yards. Only by investing more defensive players can the defensive emptiness during vertical transfer be blocked.
Therefore, Millwall’s two sidelines, Pire and Schneider, retreated very deep during defense. Nedvide and Makelele also established a barrier in front of the back line, counting on Makelele. The vertical sweeping of people back and forth kills Manchester United's offense, which is just a fool's dream.
Despite Manchester United’s advantage, Giggs and Beckham’s side passes were unsatisfactory. Southgate and Stam firmly held the air control, and Cole pulled out of the penalty area, even if he took the ball. It is also impossible to turn around under the interference of Makelele, and the effect is not good.
After containing Manchester United's offensive, Millwall handed the ball to Nedved's feet several times, but failed to counterattack the attack. Although Keane has the name of a villain, his defensive strength is obvious to all, plus A Bart who has attacked the weak and the strong, Manchester United firmly controls the midfield. When their attack is blocked, they will immediately grab the ball and organize the attack again.
Millwall may only clearly realize the rhythm and strength of the Premier League team ten minutes after the opening. Nedved wanted to take the ball in the midfield and complete the turn to adjust and then organize the attack. It is impossible. Manchester United entered the game at the opening. A loophole in a slow state will not give him a second time.
After Makelele cut off the ball from the foot of Giggs who cut in from the side, he did not pass it to Nedved, because Keane had already waited for the opportunity to steal the ball behind Nedved. Makelele crossed the ball Passed to the left.
The teenager Neil was sober after taking the ball. Since the ball reached his feet instead of Nedved, then Millwall's counterattack will change.
Before Beckham came up to snatch, Neal passed the ball to Pires ahead, and then he quickly inserted.
Beckham was just like when he faced Middlesbrough at Millwall last season. He turned around to grab Pires, but found that Pires and the forward Niall completed the simplest two-on-one and played him.
Neal's forward insertion was not expected by Manchester United. Beckham was left behind. Keane had to leave Nedved to start back defense. He chased to Neil, and Neil and Pire played on the sidelines. With the tacit cooperation, Keane couldn't even touch the ball and could only watch Piley's dribble into Manchester United's half.
Neville came up to block, Pire knocked the ball horizontally to Neil, Keane was ready to put a shovel, but Neal leaked, and the ball fell to Nedved in the high speed.
Before Bart intercepted, Nedvide kept the ball straight and a ball was introduced into the penalty area.
After Millwall counterattacked this half, Bruce followed Trezeguet closely and he would not make the same mistake again.
However, before Nedved's straight ball came, Nedved pulled to the left. Bruce followed involuntarily, but he was shocked to find that the ball passed into the penalty area from behind him, and the corner of his eye found that, There was a dark blue shadow behind him.
Trezeguet and Larson cooperated so well that they would not grab the same spot on the court, and they would not overlap in position. During offense, there will always be a point of feinting as a link or response. A man who is the final word.
This time, Trezeguet attracted Bruce’s attention, and Larsson slanted into the restricted area after starting. Palistre followed closely. Larsson’s characteristic was that he never dragged the mud, and the most simple Way to complete the offense.
He never stopped the ball against Nedved's straight throw. His swinging leg was a volley. After the ball was shot out, Paliste flew over and blocked the figure before he saw it.
Schmeichel judged the right direction and swooped to his left. His body spread to the maximum, but his fingertips could not reach the ball.
He turned his face on his face, and looked at the ball incrediblely at the other side of the net.
In the opening 12 minutes, Millwall led the Red Devils Manchester United 2-0 away!
