The Young Lion

Newcastle United, which trailed by two goals at home, started a strong counterattack. The backcourt players rushed forward, and the menacing look actually scared Millwall.

In the 84th minute of the game, their efforts paid off. Ginola passed the ball to the goal through a personal performance. Newcastle United pushed the ball into the goal with a header.

Bout was a little reluctant, he blocked the near post, but Clark, who inserted the back to the front point, pushed the ball towards the back post. It is difficult to say that he did it intentionally, maybe the header did not hit the goal. At any point, Ferdinand later laughed at the assist.

"1:2, 1:2. There are almost ten minutes left in the game plus injury time. Will Newcastle United perform a miracle? Will they? As long as they can even the score, even if Manchester United wins, they will still lead Manchester United by one point !"

I have to say that this season's Premier League title fight came to the last moment to be able to stage such a plot, which really made the commentator very excited.

Either way, the Premier League championship will certainly be able to continue to the last round, just like last year's script.

After losing the ball, Aldridge still sat on the seat with his chin. When the players looked at him, he just made a light gesture of depression, so that the players should not panic and just play normally.

Besides, panic!

The leader is us.

Regardless of the outcome, the league championship has basically nothing to do with us.

What if it wins this time?

Is it hoped that neither Manchester United nor Newcastle United will win the last game?

Stop stressing yourself.

Just play normally as a normal game.

Keegan was very excited to yell at the players on the court, waving their arms to let them go back quickly to set up a formation and wait for the kick-off.

In any case, he has to fight back for a draw.

Newcastle United did the same, and then continued the offensive. Millwall players were familiar with the rhythm of their wolves after losing the ball. The players were quick and flexible. When the midfield and backcourt was released, they consciously directly The ball hangs towards the opponent's second half.

In the eighty-eighth minute of the game, Gattuso made a free kick and the ball fell to the right side of the frontcourt. Shevchenko, who was unmarked, quickly started and was lightning fast.

After taking the ball he started a long-distance raid, Newcastle United did not even have a guard!

The opponent's goalkeeper attacked, Shevchenko did not greedy, passed the ball to the middle, then inserted the running teenager Van Nistelrooy with the ball and ran straight to the empty goal. After entering the penalty area, he slowed down and gently used his foot arch Pushing, the ball rolled slowly into the goal.

The St James Park Stadium was silent.

Fanny ran over excitedly and embraced Shevchenko.

This is his first goal of the Premier League, he can not help but be excited.

The selfless Shevchenko's performance in this game is also quite bright, and the transcript of one pass and one shot is enough to prove his strength.

Keegan stood as if struck by lightning, just stood there, saying nothing until the end of the game.

Newcastle United players withdrew with frustration.

Aldridge walked politely to Keegan to shake hands. During the last league confrontation, Aldridge also said in front of the other party to wish the other party a championship.

But today, he cut the leader sheep with his sword.

Newcastle United have occupied the top spot in the standings since the second round of the league. In the penultimate round of the league, they were overtaken by Manchester United with the same points, but Manchester United had more goals.

This psychological gap makes Keegan really unbearable, and the Newcastle United coaching staff are all nervously staring at the dull Keegan in place.

Aldridge was apologetic when he saw his picture.

Even though Millwall was double-killed by Newcastle United in the cup last season, Keegan said something that provokes a contradiction between the two, but Aldrich feels that there is no need for the two to stiffen their relationship, nor is it irreconcilable Hatred.

This season, the Millwall League Cup, three kills of Newcastle United, can be regarded as a revenge last season, but this revenge seems to be too ruthless, directly keeping the other party for a majority of the league's leading edge kick, and Maybe Ferguson, who has humiliated him for months, will lead Manchester United to the top.

Aldridge, who was about to shake hands, suddenly stopped and turned away with a long sigh, but he didn't take two steps, but was grabbed by his arm again.

He looked back and found Keegan staring at him with a serious face. Aldrich was afraid that the other side would be hit too hard. At this moment, he was a bit unable to lose and want to be arrogant, so he asked vigilantly: "Something?"

"Find a private place to chat privately."

Aldridge stared at him without a statement.

Keegan quickly released his hand and solemnly said: "Relax, I won't beat you."

Aldridge lost his smile and said, "I'm afraid that if you start your hands, you'll win the prize. Others scold me for not respecting the old and loving the young."

Keegan was not interested in making a joke, and directly invited Aldridge to his office.

Unlike Aldridge and other good-looking coaches who got together after the game and forgot to laugh and laugh, Kevin Keegan hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Aldridge, then sat in front of him and asked seriously: "Aldrich, do you hate me?"

Aldridge shrugged: "I don't hate, I don't like it."

"why?"

"Because I have no hatred with you, sometimes quarreling is normal, anyway, I don't think I am careful. The reason for dislike is also very simple, I have never seen you play football, although your reputation is great, but I don't adore you I watched the game when I was a kid and admired Maradona. Secondly, as the head coach, I don’t think you have anything to worship."

Keegan frowned, bowing his head frowning, as if thinking about something.

What's more interesting is that after he retired, he spent eight years at home. He lived a very comfortable life, fishing and growing flowers, and occasionally traveling to travel. He had more money than many contemporary stars because he joined at the end of his career. In Newcastle United, Newcastle United was cumbersome at the time and could not afford him a high salary, so Keegan added a clause in the contract: If the home attendance rate exceeds 5,000, then I will split the extra ticket income. .

At that time, the attendance rate at St. James' Park was bleak. Keegan's condition was accepted by Newcastle United. Then, with his popularity, he earned a lot of money.

Aldridge also had eight years before coaching, but he spent eight years studying.

Keegan needs fame, money, and money. The head coach's line is not counted as a special person like Aldridge. Keegan's total assets should be ranked in the top ten in the world.

Therefore, his pursuit is very simple, that is, coaching achievements.

Coaching the Magpies for many years, Keegan has lost to Manchester United many times, but he doesn’t think that Ferguson is so great. Manchester United have many stars and strong strength. Losing to Manchester United, the outside world will not feel that Newcastle United has any complaints. Not as good as others.

Even if this season has released many of the main players in the transfer market and zero-investment Manchester United, there are still veterans such as Schmeichel, Cantona, Keane, Palistre, Elvin, etc. in the team. It is said that Manchester United's renewal is actually just the five tigers starting to pick the girders, and in this, in addition to Beckham and Phil Neville is the first Premier League season, others such as Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville , Bart has appeared in the first team in the past two seasons.

So, Keegan may feel a little bit unconvinced compared to losing to Manchester United.

But in the Aldridge league double play Newcastle United, the first time is the semi-main lineup, the second time, that is today, that is the full bench lineup.

He lost his persuasion by mouth. After all, he lost 1:3 at the door. What reason can he find to comfort himself?

"Aldrich, can you tell me the truth?"

"Why should I lie to you?"

"Don't you have the idea of ​​trying to tease me and see me ugly?"

"That's the heart of your villain."

"Well, what do you think is the problem with Newcastle United?"

"Defense."

Keegan sighed and said angrily: "Everyone is talking about Newcastle United's defense problems, but what is the problem? No one can tell. It's like everyone scolds you, but why scold you, but It’s not clear why."

Aldrich touched the glass and said casually: "Because there is no universal defensive system applicable to all teams, it is necessary to formulate a defensive strategy based on the characteristics of the players, make up for each other's shortcomings, players make up for each other, and some defenders are slow, Some defenders are on the move, some defenders have poor predictions, and some defenders are not tall enough, but when they are bigger, where is the weak defense area? Where is the area where the ball is most likely to be lost? What is the focus of the opponent's offense? It’s all a matter of research. You can’t polish your team’s training today. The next day you can sit back and relax and let the players kick.”

Keegan was dumbfounded. He was definitely not a college-trained coach, so he immediately asked: "You are so young and have never played football. Where did you learn these from?"

Aldridge raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself: "I started learning blindly, studying the video of the game, marking each player with a code name on the book, and then studying the player's running track by watching the video repeatedly, watching the defensive players. How did they cooperate? Later, I went to many coaching academies, especially Italy, where you can meet a lot of lunatics, they can tell you about the countless changes in defense and how to deal with them, but they are all talking on the paper, simply discussing Tactics are meaningless, because players always have different levels of ability and different characteristics."

Keegan nodded his head in a clear look, as if he had figured out Aldridge's hole card, he then asked: "Then you study the opponent, that is, my team, what do you think is the defensive weakness?"

"Where? The defense is full of loopholes and there is almost no reliable place."

Aldridge casually said that Keegan was a little unhappy, and he pulled off a piece of paper from the desk and took a pen to Aldridge, saying, "You write it to me."

Aldridge sighed, wrote five numbers on the paper, and added a back to the four backs.

"This is Newcastle United's backcourt configuration for this game, right?"

Keegan nodded.

Aldridge wrote while writing: "Playing on the wing, not considering a one-on-one breakthrough, my wingers and full-backs come up with two hits and one, and your wing is a loophole. Who is your full-back? Anti-my side Defender, my winger is liberated, staring at the winger, my winger will cross without interruption, which requires your defender to turn around, and my striker directly hit the goal is the front, obviously dominant. My midfielder and your midfielder are paired, but what happens when my organizational midfielder comes up? Do you want to use a single midfielder to prevent the width of the court from sixty to seventy yards? My forward can retreat, The winger cuts in, and one after the other, disrupts your defender defense..."

The arrows drawn on the paper by Aldridge simply turned Newcastle United's backline into a horse honeycomb.

Keegan held his hand and wondered: "Why are you always crowded? Playing on the sidelines, you hit two on one, hit the middle, you still hit two on one, even if you hit my back line directly, you become Three strikers. My people are dead?"

Aldridge snorted and said, "You can go back and watch the video repeatedly to see if your people are dead. Kevin, my team is better than you. This is not me showing off, but the fact that the players Ability is not only a technical ability, physical strength is also an important aspect. At present, there is no statistics on the running distance of players. If there is, I can tell you that the average running distance of my players will be at least 30 higher than your players. %, that’s how it came out with more advantages."

Although Keegan did not want to believe, he recalled the game, but he was very frustrated with Aldridge's statement.

Keegan, 45, and Aldridge, 20, next month have been chatting for more than two hours...
