The Young Lion

Millwall's 442 tactical system, which was honed after being downsized due to injuries due to injury, began to show its power when used in the bench.

The first game in 1999 was the FA Cup. Millwall went to challenge Cambridge United on the road. Millwall, who came off the bench to play, scored 5 goals away. Although the opponent was weak, the team's offensive and defensive conversion and offensive coordination made Aldridge. Satisfied.

Klose partner Fannie, plus the bilateral Duffa Glennchart, the offense is very smooth.

After defeating Cambridge United and advancing to London in the next round, Andrew invited Aldridge to dinner.

The two chatted while eating in the restaurant.

"Recently, Leeds United launched an offensive against several players."

Andrew said this matter seriously.

Aldridge didn't care, the winter transfer window opened, Millwall received countless offers, but he did not have the habit of doing business in the winter.

"Leeds United? Ha ha."

Aldridge dismissed it.

Seeing his attitude, Andrew quickly reminded: "They are not making low prices."

Aldridge picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, saying: "The player eats a youth meal, does not take more honors, and the high treatment will not be maintained for a while. I am not a nanny, nor a life mentor of the player, if someone Stupid enough to think that going to Leeds United is more promising, so what else can I say?"

Andrew sighed: "Aldrich, don't underestimate the magic of money."

"I'm not denying the attractiveness of money, but this account, smart people are good. A contract for five years, if Larson went to Leeds United even if he got a weekly salary of 100,000, earning 3 million a year, 5 years It’s 15 million. Five years later? After five years of unacceptable treatment at Leeds United, what will be the price of the next contract? How much will his price drop? In Millwall, even if I give him £60,000 Weekly salary. While gaining the championship and personal honor, how much will the off-site sponsorship contract help him earn? The sum of them will definitely exceed 15 million in five years. Will he be stupid to run to Leeds United?"

Aldridge has no worries about the digging of non-great clubs. He believes that such digging does not pose a threat to him.

Andrew said after a moment of silence: "You are talking about the club's absolute main force, but what about Ferdinand?"

Aldridge scoffed and shook his head: "What's the difference? As long as he grows steadily in Millwall, the future will be the team's main force. The English national team's main force. In Millwall, his chances of gaining honor are definitely better than in Leeds United. High?"

Andrew knows that Aldridge's statement is correct, but in fact not everyone has such patience.

On the weekend Aldridge will lead his team to Manchester. At the press conference before the game, he said that this game is just an ordinary league. He will not put pressure on the players. The league still has five months, not a single game. The game will not determine the league champion.

Ferguson attaches great importance to the game, or he not only attaches importance to his heart, but also speaks out.

"Milwall is the biggest enemy for Manchester United. Since 1996, Manchester United has missed the league championship for two seasons. This is not what we should have. It is thought that last season we lost the championship at the last minute. It is Mill. Wall sniped us, and now Manchester United need to defeat Millwall to prove: we have enough strength to win the league title! Especially in the case of the first round of the league when we lost 1-2 to the opponent, this game we There is no room for failure, and I will not accept results other than victory!"

Ferguson is ambitious, Manchester United are strong and strong, and 92 classes have spurred the beam. Both the technical and tactical play and the player's ability have reached maturity. With the new season's black wind double-sharp strike line partner power, Manchester United must use the champion to support this The team added quality and brought their temperament to the next level.

This is related to the long-term development of a team. When the team is impeccable in terms of ability, the psychological level is extremely important. It can win the championship, improve the temperament, and make the psychological quality more mature. The transformation after winning the championship will make the ball The team rose to another level.

Manchester United even needs a championship more than Millwall. Ferguson knows this. If he continues to miss the championship of a major event, these players will be self-doubt and will start to doubt and negate from the psychological level, and the fighting spirit will be worn away.

Ferguson's remarks reminded Odric of Arsenal, who had no championship for the next eight years. Sometimes it takes an accidental factor to win the championship, but the team with and without the championship has really different temperament. The team that fails to win the championship seems to owe it. Then in one breath, the chain is often dropped at a critical moment.

When visiting Old Trafford's league, Aldridge believes that this is not an appropriate time and is very unfavorable to Millwall.

The selection of his personnel in the formation is no problem. The key is that he is building a new offensive combination. When he suddenly encounters a team like Manchester United, the offensive power will inevitably decrease.

But just like his mentality when facing Arsenal, the league is a long-distance race, and there is no need to compete with the opponent for a momentary strike. Millwall defeated Manchester United at the beginning of the season. As long as the guest game does not lose, the strong dialogue with Manchester United, the record Is satisfactory.

At Old Trafford, Millwall’s latest attack combination debuted at Dream Theater.

Ronaldinho, Henry, Larson.

Nedved.

Makelele, Pirlo.

The combination of such an array in the front and center field made the first show.

Ferguson and Aldridge stood on the sidelines at the same time. The two did not communicate before the game, but just greeted each other.

The Premier League this season's championship drama has entered a fierce stage since the beginning of the season.

Millwall, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, the semi-finals, Chelsea have some problems recently, they have encountered a situation where the Christmas Express has plummeted, and teams with foreign aid are basically troubled by this phenomenon. To solve this problem , Not overnight.

Millwall's performance at Old Trafford was unsatisfactory.

Defensive full score, offense failed.

To play for a team like Manchester United, every opportunity on the offensive end must strive to be the best, and the opponent will be completely frozen in one step.

The new attack group created by Aldrich needs every player to cooperate with his teammates. If someone can't keep up with the rhythm, the quality of the entire attack will be greatly reduced.

Henry’s passing in the center position is still unsatisfactory, but Aldridge is not angry. Henry hasn’t played football with Larson, Ronaldinho, and Pirlo for a long time, at least. Derich will give him two months to see the effect. If there is no obvious improvement, he will consider replacing other forwards to replace Henry.

However, under the new tactical system, the backcourt defense has been significantly stabilized. The full-backs stepped forward to participate in the offensive response, reducing the coverage area and avoiding the chance of being beaten by the opponent. The two wings of Manchester United fly together today, every attack is The frontal impact on Millwall's overall defense, the offensive effect also feels different.

Ferguson watched the game for thirty minutes and was depressed.

At first glance, Millwall's offensive and defensive system strives to maintain a balance. The former full-back defender's situation of rushing upwards can't be seen. Manchester United attacked the opponent at a glance, and it is indeed difficult to break through the opponent's defense line.

Ferguson walked to Aldridge and the game was still going on, but the two exchanged with a smile.

"Millwall kicked back and forth? Fear of losing?"

"Jiqiangfa? Ha ha ha, useless to me!"

"No, no, do you remember when you first came here?"

"That scene 5:5?"

"That's right, Millwall's play was very sharp at that time. He pressed Manchester United's two sides to play. How can it be retracted now?"

Aldridge chuckled his forehead, knowing that Ferguson was still going around.

"The times are different. At that time, Millwall had better physical fitness than Manchester United. Don't you deny it?"

Ferguson chuckled, really didn't deny it.

It was just not obvious at the time. In the second season, when Millwall slaughtered Manchester United in the Dream Theater, Ferguson launched a hair dryer in the locker room after the game. At the same time, he also realized that the physical strength of Manchester United players fell behind the other party. In order to improve the physical strength of the whole team, and then in the two seasons later.

"We don't have the physical advantage, Manchester United's wing offense is also sharper than before. Beckham and Giggs, should be the top three wing configuration in Europe? My full-back can defend well, I just Satisfied, honestly."

Ferguson hit Aldridge's arm with his arm and smiled: "I believed it, but you specifically emphasized the truth behind the truth, and I don't believe it now. Millwall's frontcourt players are very strong personally, you Are you planning to rely on their individual ability to solve problems in the future?"

At this time, Ronaldinho had the ball intercepted by Keane, and Aldridge spread his hands and said: "Can the individual ability solve the problem?"

"He broke through ten times, and as long as he succeeds once or twice, maybe a goal will appear."

"He has been stealing three times in a row, is he still confident to continue to break through?"

"Hahahaha, he can't. He can change Larson and come again."

Ferguson hopes that Millwall’s offensive players will all play personal heroism. His most fearful thing is that Millwall’s fast-breaking pass and cut through the position. The team cooperates and can kill after 5 seconds in midfield. When the goal was completed in front of the goal, the speed was too horrible, and the player dribble too much, the rhythm must be down. Manchester United arranged the defense line, he did not believe anyone could single out the entire Manchester United defense line.

At the current level of Aldrich and Ferguson, especially to the point where the team is in control, it is impossible to talk about the frequent instructions to the team on the spot.

Ferguson doesn’t need to raise more points for players like Beckham, Giggs and Scholes, nor does Audridge need to make more demands on Larson, Nedved, and Pirlo unless it is tactical Changes in the general direction.

So the two coaches have free time to talk and laugh on the sidelines.

Both teams are afraid of opposing each other's counterattacks. The frontal attack is often thunder and heavy rain. There are not many opportunities in the danger zone. The pace of the game is not fast. Manchester United can't control the rhythm. Millwall also can't rule the game. In the second half, it was the same in the second half. It was only the climax in the last ten minutes. Manchester United’s ground warfare was attacked. Millwall seized a limited chance to fight back. The defensive players of the two teams played a top level and repeatedly made wonderful Defense.

Millwall was visiting Old Trafford for 90 minutes, shaking hands with the opponent 0:0.

After the game, Ferguson's tone changed, and he never mentioned the pre-match remarks, but instead criticized Millwall for starting to play conservatively, unlike the league championship that year.

Aldridge also satirized Manchester United. The two teams in the league played against each other this season. Millwall won and drew. Even if Manchester United finally won the league title, they would not have the qualification to be proud in front of Millwall.

The two coaches chatted and laughed before the game and during the game, and the relationship of "turning their faces" directly after the game became the focus of the Premier League. Fleet Street thinks: Ferguson and Hall are perfect opponents!
