Chapter 1067: Two games

Millwall's threat offensive almost broke the door. The fans in the stands were still lamenting Millwall's missed opportunity. Unexpectedly, Manchester United were very calm and did not know whether they had been psychologically prepared or had been beaten by Millwall in recent years. Strong anti-stress ability is accustomed to this situation.
Carol opened the ball quickly, and after returning to assists, Baines slowed down significantly. He ran back to his normal rhythm, and even wanted to see if he could fight back in the midfield.
Scholes kicked the ball to the right with a precise long pass in the midfield and backcourt position. Rooney ran to the side. After unmanned control, the ball was controlled and the ball was rushed to the penalty area. Pedretti defended frontally. Rooney When the dribble approached the penalty area, the ball was distributed to Hua Jin who caught up from behind.
Joaquin took the ball inwards and replaced him with Southgate to defend him head-on. The area that was supposed to be defended by Baines was not defended at this time. Southgate could only work hard and do two jobs alone. To seal the inner and outer lines.
In other words, Hua Jin can't pass, and he can't give Hua Jin enough room to pass, so that the opponent can find a suitable pass line.
When Southgate was about to intercept Joaquin, he put his finger behind the penalty area, hoping to get Moutinho and Pedretti back, Pedretti personally stared at Rooney, and Moutinho was at Manchester United. The reaction was a step slower in the fast attack. Although the number of offenses and defenses in the penalty area was not worse than that of Millwall, it gave the opponent a bit of space. More defensive players must be used to compress the space.
Joaquin took the ball to the inner line, and Southgate was mainly defensive inside. At the moment when the two met, Huajin suddenly dialed the ball to the outside and then accelerated to get rid of Southgate!
In the past, this is not a situation that makes Southgate feel embarrassed. Even if the opponent is still in possession of the ball, he is just changing from a frontal defense to a position and pulling back to the side defense. Keeping the opponent enough distance is equal to Blocked the opponent's large pass space, and then delayed the opponent, waiting for the return of their defensive players or the recovery of restricted areas.
But this time, when Southgate turned around and wanted to keep up with Joaquin, he obviously thought faster than his body. As a result, his body failed to balance and slipped into the penalty area!
Hua Jin originally intended to pass directly, but saw Southgate slipped to the ground, and then controlled the ball and turned inward from Southgate into the penalty area, forming a semi-single-shot trend.
Everyone at Millwall's back line was shocked by Southgate's slip. Neal immediately rushed over to stop the shot and prevented Joaquin from finishing the shot. He just moved and was not close to Joaquin. The latter made a cross The ball was sent to the foot of Fanny behind Neal, and he stepped on the line of the small penalty area. Fanny pushed the ball without stopping the ball. At such a close distance, the goalkeeper was unable to return to the sky. The smell and shooting of Fanny’s front door is undoubted.
"The goal is scored! Manchester United opened the first record! Southgate lost his balance while defending Joaquin and fell to the ground, exposing the huge space in the penalty area. This is his personal error, but it caused the team to lose the ball. As for Fanny’s goal, it’s not Neal’s fault. Neil must go to the defensive position to defend Huajin. Huajin is also very calm in handling this ball. He didn’t greedy forcible shots, but gave Fanny a nanny ball. Fanny almost faced the empty goal in front of the goal, but Bout was defending the near post angle. There was no way. Millwall lost the ball in one sentence. The captain made a mistake."
At the moment Fanny finished the goal, Southgate had already stood up, his expression blank and dignified, and he did not try to explain anything to his teammates.
No need!
He raised his head and walked outside the penalty area without saying a word, but he didn't feel any lightness in him.
The game has just begun.
He cannot be out of balance, nor can he show any confusion in front of his teammates.
He is the captain!
Manchester United fans in the stands of the Riverside Stadium are celebrating.
Millwall fans are silent.
No one blamed Southgate for the mistake, no one.
In 4 months, the old captain is 35 years old.
Aldridge was also expressionless on the sidelines.
There was no sign of dissatisfaction with Southgate.
In fact, he only had regrets in his heart.
The serious injury in the European Cup has had a great impact on Southgate.
Many good players have experienced a significant decline after a serious injury, and a considerable number of them have been unable to return to their peak state after the decline.
There may be psychological factors, there are restrictions on the play after serious physical injuries, and many are due to age.
At a certain age, after a major overhaul, especially during a serious injury, there is a long period of time that requires rest and can't maintain the state of the body. When the injury recovers and you want to recover, it may not be realistic.
Southgate has reached the end of his career. The serious injury in the European Cup was not unexpected. He left Millwall's main lineup and he recovered from the injury two months ago, but until today, he was not allowed to play. , Before returning to the state in the reserve team game.
It is difficult to say that the reserve team can check the status of 100% of the players.
Although the reserve team pays attention to confrontation, there is no explosive and skilled opponent like Huajin who will test you.
Southgate, now 34, has made such mistakes and is related to his experience. Because he knows how to deal with Joaquin's dribbling to the outside, his consciousness will be driven immediately He turned around to catch up, but the explosive power of his body decreased too much after a serious injury, and then he lost his balance.
This kind of situation is also common in ordinary people. Sometimes the running is in a disorderly rhythm, and sometimes it will almost fall when stepping on the steps. In the high-speed football game, once the body can not keep up with consciousness, some players will appear self In case of strain, some players may slip like Southgate.
Not a venue factor.
Ferguson showed no joy.
This is the eleventh year that Aldridge coached Millwall, but it is the tenth year that Ferguson and Aldridge have played.
Ten years of opponents, too much combat experience, Ferguson could not show a half smile at this moment.
Even, a look of ferocity and brutality appeared in his expression!
For opponents like Millwall, for the team coached by Aldridge, even if the lineup is a group of reserve players, never underestimate him!
It is necessary to defeat him when there is a chance! Crush him! Suppress him as much as possible during all game time!
No, you can't give him a chance!
Let him, the miracle maker, not see the dawn of hope!
Since you want to protect the league and the Champions League, the FA Cup will never give you any chance!
After restarting the ball, Millwall seemed to be a little counseled.
Baines was not in the position just now, he was a little afraid to assist in the halftime, Ramos was also afraid that Giggs was making waves in his defensive area, so Millwall spent 10 minutes The defender didn't overwhelm the halftime assists, Ramor's execution in the middle was very perfect. The division was a midfielder, partial defense, and the main task was to take the ball.
As a result, after missing the sideline, Millwall's attack was a mess. Manchester United stabilized the field and carefully organized the attack. He wanted to infiltrate the attack into Millwall's dangerous zone and made a few beautiful threats. offensive.
Aldridge got angry on the sidelines!
His finger Ramos let him assist, and at the same time, Southgate also issued an order to Baines not far away: attack!
As for the replacement of the danger zone, it was handed over to Pedretti. Moutinho's reading ability still needs to be improved. Then, let his task be simpler and sweep away with Ramall before the penalty area.
No one on the court knows Aldridge better than Southgate.
Others can say that Aldridge is cunning, but Southgate thinks it is wise.
Today, it is not impossible to lose to Manchester United.
If he absolutely doesn't want to lose to Manchester United, Aldridge simply dies. At this point, he can not!
Or, take the main lineup and fight with each other!
Gamble on luck and see if Millwall wins the triple crown at the end of the season, or all four are empty, or get 1 or 2 championships.
However, now that he has been on the bench, at the same time, three days later, he has to play Manchester United at home.
At the preparatory meeting, Millwall asked both wings to attack together, even if it was a tug of war with Manchester United.
In short, you must attack!
So, Southgate knew very well Audridge's tactical purpose.
First, attack, maybe you can win!
Secondly, if you don’t win, then you must speed up the pace and play a threat offensive, so that the entire Manchester United formation will continue to move long distances in the game. This is consumption!
Set the stage for the league in three days!
This is not a simple FA Cup semi-final. It is necessary to link this game with the next league and prepare together, because the opponents are the same, all are Manchester United!
But before the game, Aldridge will not honestly tell the bench players these words, he will only say a firm attack, is to win the game!
If you don’t invest in two full-backs and boldly insert assists, or if you want to create a threat through the insertion of midfielders, this is unrealistic. The full-backs are not up, there are few offense points, and the probability of being restricted to death is very high. The players in the middle, Ramall and Moutinho, obviously can't take half the advantage in front of Vieira and Scholes, so they can't play the offensive depth and achieve the strategic purpose of consuming the opponent.
After Millwall fired in Aldridge, the two full-backs boldly assisted. At the beginning, Manchester United wanted to hit Millwall's defense from the side, but Neil blocked two high-altitude passes. Pedretti blocked a penetrating pass from Scholes. Manchester United are not used to Millwall's defensive adjustment for the time being and need to readjust the offensive thinking after observation.
And Millwall took this opportunity to insert a bold assist on the full-back to insert the penalty area to form a threatening change to equalize the score!
