Chapter 804: Back in time

At halftime, Aldridge didn't choose to play in the second half and he was scrupulous. To put it bluntly, he was worried that Millwall had the highest probability of losing the ball in various events this season.
In addition to the very open game between the UEFA Champions League and the La Liga doubles, which resulted in a lot of goals conceded, other games combined, their average number of goals conceded is very low, ranking the lowest in the Premier League and even the top five leagues. However, among these goals, the Millwall coaching staff analyzed the situation of the goals and summed it up as one point: being mixed by the opponent!
From a high level of analysis, it is actually the most difficult situation to defend: two offenses and three offenses.
In a frontal defense, Millwall could do his best, but after the opponent played an offense, when Millwall failed to adjust the defense line in time and rearranged the mark-and-play defense, a ball loss may occur. It happens on the team, there is no absolutely perfect defensive strategy and the goal is absolutely not lost.
So Millwall's biggest fear is that the opponent creates chaos in the penalty area, the first attack cannot be achieved, and the opponent seizes the second opportunity to form a threat to the goal.
Considering that Manchester United has the king of the small penalty area Van Nistelrooy, Aldridge ordered the team to control and balance as much as possible in the second half. Really retracted, Manchester United held high and hit the Universiade. The ghost in the penalty area took the opportunity to put the ball into the goal, this kind of ball will be lost so that Aldridge can only sigh in the sky.
Now withdraw to fight back. In fact, Aldridge will not think too much. Command has become an instinct. When he is really sane, he instinctively knows when to use what tactics and strategies. Originally Pirlo and Jr. When Luo was on the field, they had the ability to control the ball and hold their destiny firmly in their hands, but they did not do that. Without doing so, Millwall's defense had a fatal problem: the middle was weak!
After the lack of Nedved in this central axis, Gattuso alone is obviously much softer than Manchester United Keane Gascols before and after, especially Keen attacked, Bart guarded the back waistline in the case of.
So Aldridge did not hesitate to replace both Pirlo and Ronaldinho. This made fans in the stands feel puzzled and confused, as if Millwall was self-defeating.
The replacement of Pedretti and Alonso is hard to say, but it is really limited, but in the end it is more than Pirlo and Ronaldinho can contribute to the defense. At the same time, Millwall's overall tactics have changed, not In the battle of the position, Alonso’s talents are enough, and he does not have to hold high demands on him to replace Pirlo perfectly.
Millwall beat many opponents this season only to play long pass, forced the opponent to change the established technical and tactical system, to the final stage of the season, the last 20 minutes, Millwall itself was embarrassed and abandoned them The usual style of play, all of this, is to pay for the mistakes and pay for the mistakes of excessive relaxation at the intermission.
Now their formation has become 451, not even 4231.
Ramor and Larson are one left and one right wing, double backs Gattuso and Pedretti, Alonso midfielder, with Henry at the top.
In the face of Manchester United's attack, Millwall retreated three lines, Henry withdrew to the middle circle, and the remaining 10 teammates all arranged a tight defense in the 40 yard area.
Manchester United scored two goals in a row to kill their red eyes. The impetuous gadgets of the momentum are all in contrast to each other. Millwall is loose and tight. He wants to raise the momentum back to suppress Manchester United. How can it be so easy?
So now Millwall is using more people and a higher fault tolerance rate to stabilize the military.
Ferguson and Aldridge are constantly commanding the team's offense and defense on the sidelines. This scene has been very rare in recent years, as if the two are inseparable.
Commanding players to attack positions, defending to mark people, angry at players' mistakes or bad choices to deal with the ball, and even heed every penalty of the referee.
The smoke on the field was filled with fouls, and it seemed that he had returned to the previous confrontation of English football, which was biased towards brutality and physical fighting.
Millwall squeezed backcourt space, Manchester United was in the encirclement after halftime, Keane confronted the first class, but Alonso hit his stalker and would never let Keane connect in unmarked tandem. Offensive, Keen angrily successively quarreled with Alonso and Gattuso, Veron fell into stealth, giving Veron space, he was a master, entangled him, and surrounded him to block and close and fiercely snatched him, he It is difficult to play.
Millwall's U-turn to attack is basically a sidewalk, either Larson or Ramor. With Henry being shot dead in the middle, it is difficult to make a change in the forward attack.
When the game seemed to be stuck, Aldridge was slightly relieved. His team was fortunate to stabilize. Alonso and Pedretti not only eased the defensive pressure of the team, but also actively fighting through them, fierce. The defensive moves of the two teenagers are conveying Aldrich's on-the-spot instructions.
Gattuso, Zambrotta and Materazzi, who are still on the field, regained their strength after slowing down the continuous drop of the ball, and the momentum also came up. They understood that this game should be their role in Milwaukee. The last game of Seoul, in any case, to help the team win, is not only the honor of the club, but also the new peak of their personal career.
In the 80th minute of the game, Ferguson set out to make a substitution. He still sullenly faced. Manchester United's first two goals were actually counterattacks against Millwall. When they couldn't fight back, Manchester United's ability to tackle was somewhat lacking. There was a wing, and Belon had no sense of presence in the tight space of the frontcourt. Even if there was, most of them would see his mistakes. The three-midfield interception defense of Millwall Middle Road was too crazy, Alonso , Pedretti, Gattuso, maybe within a small range can pass one of them, but absolutely can not pass the second one, the lost ones will immediately withdraw the back seat, interlocking, unlike Peel Luo is in this area, it will be passed.
"Man United's substitutions. Ferguson replaced Belon with Super Subs. Solskjaer. Manchester United strengthened the striker and they are going to make the final blow!"
Seeing Solskjaer play, Aldridge was not worried.
The tight string in my heart relaxes.
Midfield pressure diminished!
If there is one less Belon, there will be one less support point or organizer in Manchester United's midfield. In the local defense, Millwall will also make one more person when he marks the defense!
However, after the substitutions, Manchester United will definitely not focus on the midfield penetration again, but will take the sidewalk, hit a long pass and try to create chaos in Millwall's restricted area. They have an extra striker!
Sure enough, as Aldridge expected, Manchester United began to play Giggs' ability on the sidelines. Scholes also took the initiative to pull the edge and lifted the ball into the penalty area.
Ferguson was on the sidelines, seeing less and less time, Millwall's defensive pressure on the middle of the road decreased, and the division of troops to support the wing accordingly. Manchester United did not even have a chance to play on the wing in 3 minutes. Too.
After Ferguson gritted his teeth, he no longer hesitated and ordered the full-back to also assist. Phil Neville and Sylvester rushed up to support the attack.
Aldridge also made a new round of tactical adjustments at this time.
He does not expect to completely rely on defense to consume the game time, somehow, the more he reaches the final stage, there will be a lingering thought in his heart: Manchester United is hard!
Yes, the Bayern Munich was reversed in 1999, and the Moscow rain game in 2008. Terry missed the goal post with a penalty. How hard was Manchester United's life in the two Champions League finals? This is unscientific, but it will give rise to some unscientific thoughts, and even fear.
Really let Manchester United continue to play like this, and continue to invest in the offense. Millwall is only defensive. If it is not possible, it will be completely tied. What then? The further back, the less control the coach has over the game.
Aldridge knew that he had made a mistake and allowed Manchester United to develop the game to this stage, but he had no time to blame and reflect. When he made adjustments after sober, his thinking was very clear. Back to the initiative of the game, although the situation on the court does not look like that.
From 70 minutes to 85 minutes, Millwall’s offense was not threatening. It originated from a single wing attack point. Manchester United’s offensive was fierce. After the momentum contrast was close to flat, players on the field stabilized their minds and did not make mistakes after busy. In 85 minutes, Aldridge also issued new tactical instructions.
Flanker, go up!
Not attacking from the middle, limited by the ability of his own players, Gattuso and Pedretti are all attacking weak and defending strong, Alonso is not too fast, can be used as a response point, but not as an impact arrow that drives the offensive Besides, there will be Keane and Bart in front of him, also to bypass Manchester United's midfielder. After attacking, the midfielder has a stronger awareness of the sideline defense, and Millwall's two full-backs Schneider and Zan Brota, physical fitness should be no problem, they did not have many straight up and down today. It broke out in the final stage, which was what Aldridge thought when he replaced Ronaldinho and Pirlo, but first he needed to stabilize the defense. Therefore, it is necessary to close the formation first, and also lead the snake out of the hole, forcing Manchester United to weaken the defense's tactical purpose.
In the 87th minute, Manchester United attacked the left, Giggs and Sylvester cooperated in the trapped circle of Pedretti, Larson, and Schneider, and Giggs barely kicked the ball into the end. Millwall was behind the penalty area, but Bout was accurate in predicting and took the ball from the air before snatching Solskjaer's outcourt at the latter point.
After holding the ball, Bout was standing on the ground as if he did not intend to serve the goal kick quickly. Solskjaer and Fanny originally intended to interfere with him, but when he saw him standing still in front of the goal line, he immediately ran back to defend , But as soon as they moved, Bout also moved, running towards the upper left corner of the penalty area.
Aldridge snarled, shouting to Larsson and Schneider who were close to him on the side of the court: "Quick! Seize this opportunity!"
Ferguson clearly saw Millwall’s wing players all moving forward and running wildly, as if back in time. He saw Millwall when he first played against Millwall at Old Trafford seven years ago. A lightning fast attack is about to take place!
