"The second round of the Premier League is about to start in the new season, the visiting Manchester United and Millwall at home today have sent the strongest lineup, although the new season has just begun, but the direct confrontation between the two teams may have a direct impact on the end of the season standings, the past three seasons of the Premier League, in addition to the season when Millwall won the championship, the other two seasons, the points gap between Millwall and Manchester United is within a goal, in other words, if the two teams can beat the opponent, The precious three points are more valuable than in other games. ”

Manchester United's starting formation is still 442, while Millwall is still 433.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines to supervise the game, and Millwall now faced Manchester United with a very different momentum, especially compared to three years ago, when they faced Manchester United with the consciousness of a challenger, and even had a vague feeling in their hearts that playing Manchester United was more important than any final.

In the past three years, they have proved that they can compete on the same level as Manchester United, and also have an overwhelming record of defeating opponents.

The game started with Manchester United kicking off first.

Scholes received the ball in midfield and calmly distributed the ball to Giggs on the left, who was not in a hurry to attack, but fell to his feet with his teammates first, allowing everyone to touch the ball first and bring out the form.

Millwall didn't grab it fiercely for the time being, and the two teams didn't seem to smell of gunpowder, and even the determination to win seemed to be much weaker.

Not really. Today's league is not a do-or-die battle. Both teams are on a balanced level in terms of posture. Winning is the desired result, but first making sure you don't lose, and pressing the attack aggressively doesn't happen until the score changes.

Beckham got the ball on the right side, Xiao Luo harassed him on the side, and the fans in the stands of the Lion's Den Stadium reacted relatively flatly, and the fans of other stadiums may not be so polite to Xiao Beck.

The aftermath of the 98th World Cup has not dissipated. The accusations of Beckham's sinner are still not washed away, he just returned to Manchester United to play with peace of mind, as for Millwall fans did not accuse him, because Aldridge made it clear in an interview: Beckham should be given some tolerance and wait for him to repay the national team with actions in the future.

Beckham can only pass the ball when he is closely marked by Xiao Luo on the right side, and it is not his forte to break through, and today's Xiao Luo's defensive task is to keep an eye on Beckham, no matter where the opponent goes, as long as it is defending, Xiao Luo will stick to the opponent like a dog skin plaster.

Keane didn't dare to step in on a wide range of attacks. He's always keeping an eye on Nedved's movement, with Scholes not so much a midfielder. More like a central midfielder, Cole and York on the front line, one is forward, the other is slightly back, and its position is responsible for the area and role to go to the contemporary mainstream 442 is basically the same, how important is York bought by Manchester United? When attacking in the middle, Yorke can hold the ball and play it to his teammates, so that it can give Manchester United's attack an infinite amount of power, which is what Cantona used to do, and at the same time play the role of spiritual leader, now, at least Manchester United has reached a limit in terms of tactical play.

York took the ball and handed it to Giggs who cut inside, Giggs saw Schneider jam the inside line and then turned to the outside line to cross the bottom, Kerr missed the front point, but York outflanked it, but fortunately Southgate retreated quickly and cleared the ball directly out of the bottom line.

The performance of both teams after the opening game is trying to be safe, the rhythm is tepid, the style of play is to suddenly accelerate to create a killing opportunity, will not pull the rhythm too fast all at once, that is risky, the attack is powerful, but the defense will also expose more flaws.

With Materazzi, Millwall's high-altitude ball from the set-piece was really reassuring, and Beckham's corner kick was directly pushed out by Materazzi to the outside, without giving Manchester United's attacking players any chance.

There was a round of applause in the stands, and the fans were very happy that the team's new main player was reassuring.

Aldridge looked serious on the sidelines, and whenever Millwall switched from defence to attack, their attacks would go to Ronaldo's side.

The reason is simple, Keane and Paul Scholes have to cover the midfield in the middle, and if they help defend the wings, Pirlo and Nedved can blow up their central defence.

At first, Aldridge was worried that Ronaldo would not be the key point in today's tactics, but after watching it for ten minutes, he was relieved.

"Ronaldinho took the ball, Beckham came back, he went to the path of the Cabasi inside, Neville lowered his center of gravity and was ready to block Ronaldinho's forward path. What will he choose? Will the return pass reorganize the attack? Ronaldinho made a brilliant pass! He first made a momentum to break to the right, so that Neville and Beckham both focused on the inside, and then a smash changed the line, he dribbled the ball to the bottom, and then crossed the ball! Ruud van Nistelrooy headed in goal, but unfortunately the header was too straight and Schmeichel got the ball in easily. ”

Aldridge praised the attack from the sidelines.

Larsson's threat on the other side requires Ryan Giggs to retreat widely, Manchester United are already familiar with Larsson, and there is no need to say much about his attention, so Ronaldo on the other side is the key man to break the equilibrium, and at the same time, he only needs to be able to overwhelm Neville one-on-one, forcing Beckham to also put more energy into defense, so that although Millwall does not necessarily have a greater advantage, at least it greatly weakens the power of Manchester United's wings.

If you play last season's Manchester United, Millwall only needs to suppress the opponent's two sides, which is almost equivalent to tearing off the legs of the goddess of victory, but this season's Manchester United, there are more Yorkes who can take the ball in the frontcourt, even if Manchester United is suppressed on both sides, there is still a middle to play, and as long as York controls the ball, Manchester United's wings can attack again.

Ferguson also walked to the sidelines and gave advice to his disciples.

Manchester United's attacking advance is too slow!

Beckham was not fast, and by the time he rushed up from the back, Millwall had already set up his defense, and even when he received the ball, he was not in a good position.

Zambrotta is guarding the danger zone today. Don't let Beckham come close. If the other party enters the thirty-five yard area. You must stick to the opponent and steal the ball fiercely.

Beckham was far from the box and his cross was no longer threatening, but the ball was flying for too long, and as long as the Millwall defenders didn't get out of position and didn't miss anyone, his cross threat was close to zero.

Ronaldo put in another great performance on the left flank, sedging past Neville as he dribbled forward. was knocked down from behind by Beckham.

The referee came over and showed Beckham a yellow card, and Ronaldo stood up to pick up the ball.

After the ball was placed, Ronaldo and Pirlo stood in front of the ball, and the two bowed their heads and whispered to each other, and then Pirlo walked away.

Xiao Luo's eyes have been staring at the opponent's goal, everyone thinks it is strange, does this kid still have the kung fu of a free kick?

He does, but he hasn't arrived home yet, and he's already planned to improve his free-kick ability in training.

Andrea Pirlo stood at the top of the penalty area, and he stood like that. Manchester United will have to devote their energy to defending Pirlo, for fear that Ronaldo will play the ball for the opponent.

When Xiao Luo stared at the opponent's goal with resolute eyes and drove the ball out. The United players were not surprised to see the ball rolling towards Pirlo.

The Brazilian kid is still a scaremaker!

Ronaldo didn't shoot straight at goal, but passed the ball to Pirlo, who made a gesture and Keane had already made a block in front of him.

However, Pirlo's open thigh was a beat slower, and the ball rolled in front of his eyes.

Keane's eyes widened in disbelief, was Pirlo not ready?

When the Manchester United players saw the ball's rolling path, they panicked.

Andrea Pirlo deliberately missed the ball and on his right, Schneider was in a very good position, with plenty of space and angle to shoot, almost exactly the same as the one he had last broken down for United.

Manchester United's players rushed forward to block, Schneider swung his leg and did not shoot a heavy cannon, but in four or two, the ball jumped lightly and went to the left side of the deep penalty area!

Cross!

A Millwall player outflanked the ball and volleyed it into the net!

'Ronaldinho opened the scoring for Millwall! The free-kick was a brilliant combination, Ronaldinho took the free-kick and stepped forward, the United players were all watching the trajectory of the ball, Pirlo deliberately missed the ball, Schneider surprisingly did not shoot from distance, but the high ball crossed diagonally to the point where Ronaldinho cut in, and the Brazilian youngster cleanly slotted the ball into the net unmarked. In the twenty-eighth minute of the first half, Millwall took the lead. ”

Ronaldo ran to the corner flag and danced a samba after scoring a goal, and the crowd in the nearby stands blushed and applauded him.

Aldridge groped his head on the sidelines, and the team took the lead, although it was not a goal scored by the positional attack, but at least the set-piece attack was also a threat.

Alex Ferguson adjusts his tactics on the sidelines.

Manchester United's generals are depressed and depressed, but their hearts are not vented, and there are still more than an hour to go in the game, even if they are playing away, it is impossible to surrender early.

Next, Manchester United's posture has been adjusted, not as aggressive as a ship, and focused on the left side of the road.

With the two strikers and the midfield all left-leaning, Beckham dragged the ball back without a speed advantage on the right flank, passing as many as he could, and his precise guidance helped the attack even if not the assist before the most difficult strike.

With York moving on the left side of the box, Scholes lying behind him, Cole pulling sideways in a small area of the box, and Ryan Giggs breaking through on the left to create a threat, Millwall came under a lot of pressure on the right side of the defence.

Aldridge saw this scene, knowing that the test of his team is coming, the key is whether he can keep up with the changes of the opponent, Manchester United concentrates on the left side, Millwall must respond in time on defense, and at the same time adjust the focus of the attack.

When Cole tried to receive the ball in the box and was squeezed out of position by Materazzi, Millwall launched a counter-attack, and Makelele played a direct pass to the left wing, and Ronaldinho took the ball.

Once he had the ball, Aldridge looked over to see what he was going to do next.

As a result, Ronaldo Jr. disappointed Aldridge to dribble and break through.

Now that Ronaldo is talented and capable, but lacks game experience, he should have noticed that Beckham's position was directly in front of him, and he consciously formed a joint defense with Neville, Ronaldo broke through Beckham, but Neville saw the opportunity to come up and steal when he succeeded.

If Ronaldo is mature enough, he should have sent the ball directly to the middle as soon as he received the ball, and Manchester United is now obviously heavily deployed on the right side of the defense, focusing on the left side, so there are holes in the left side of the defense.

Aldridge had to point at Ronaldo, then gesture to him to signal that he should have passed the ball to the other side.

Xiao Luo gave him a thumbs up when he saw it, which meant that he understood.

This pair of masters and apprentices communicate like this in training, as long as Xiao Luo can understand, he will use a thumbs up. (To be continued......)
