078 Classic ends

Steve Bruce's whistle-blowing goal sealed the score of the Red Devils and Lions at 5-5.

It may not be enough to make up for his poor performance throughout the game, but it can be regarded as a self-redemption.

The Manchester United players surrounded Bruce excitedly, thrilled by the goal, at the last minute of the game.

Millwall's players looked so disappointed that Schneider even knelt on the ground and gritted his teeth and closed his eyes in sadness.

Why didn't you win?!

Someone bent down and put his hands on his shoulders to help him up, Schneider opened his eyes, and was greeted by the calm face of captain Southgate, who said softly: "Stand up, hold your head high, we should go and thank the fans for their presence." ”

Schneider stood up and collected his emotions as he saw that his teammates had recovered from their loss, and everyone walked to the front of the East Stand and applauded the Lions fans in the stands.

"An incredible game, Andy, it was the best game I've ever commentated, from the first minute of the game, no, to be exact, from the referee's opening whistle to the end of the final whistle, it was so good that it will stay in my memory forever."

"This is the Premier League! This is our proudest, favorite Premier League, the pace of the game is fast, the confrontation is fierce, there is no lack of wonderful technical and tactical connotations, although the two teams have contributed ten goals, but the overall offensive and defensive quality is extremely high, and each goal is very exciting, close your eyes, those players who enter the audience's field of vision for the first time will come to mind one by one, Millwall's players are all impressive, Manchester United's new generation of players have also proved that he is worthy of the red heritage, Martin, this is a football feast, Although there are only a few famous European names on the field, with the performance of this group of lads today, I firmly believe that they will shine on a bigger stage in the future, and we are fortunate to witness the whole process of such a game today. ”

"I very much agree with you, if I want to rate the players on the field, I think, most of the players will get high marks, Ferguson may not be reconciled, because Cantona will not be able to play, and the young Hall will regret because his team has lost three points in the last moment, but I want to say to the two managers: Xie Lu Xie, this game will become a classic of the Premier League, there is no doubt that the fans who did not watch the live broadcast, it is their loss, because this is a football feast that can be enjoyed from the first second, Well, audience friends, Manchester United vs Millwall, the live broadcast is over, and we will see you in the next game. ”

At Old Trafford, after referee Dugin blew the final whistle, the crowd gave a standing ovation that lasted for a long time.

Perhaps Manchester United fans have always thought the Red Devils would win the game.

But when the end came, they had some regrets in their hearts, not that Manchester United only won a draw, but that this wonderful game was over.

On the pitch, players from both sides began to communicate after the game, and many people began to exchange jerseys.

Schmeichel walked up to Larsson, although they are not from the same country, but geographically speaking, the two are Nordic fellows, and the two took off their jerseys and exchanged them.

"Hey, you should come to Manchester United to play, you score, I'll keep the goal, we'll win a lot of trophies."

Schmeichel shamelessly began to dig into the wall, but it was also a kind of admiration and affirmation.

Larson smiled but said nothing.

Roy Keane took the initiative to find Nedved, the two tough guys faced each other, their jerseys were not only soaked with sweat, but also stained with mud, but the two took off their jerseys and handed them to each other, took each other's jerseys and put them on their shoulders, the two men shook their right hands, let go and turned away, and never said a word.

Aldridge stood in the stands, and after the game, he closed his eyes and blamed himself a little.

However, this was not the occasion for frustration, as he turned to make good on his promise to give the young United fan an autograph, only to see the boy's father give him a thumbs up.

"Your team is amazing."

Aldrich smiled noncommittally.

This man's compliments and himself are the same way.

To say that Millwall is great, no matter how great it is, is just a draw at Old Trafford, and to put it bluntly, the subtext is that Manchester United are very strong, and you can draw to prove that you are not weak.

Aldridge took the watercolor pen from the young fan, signed his name on his hat, and left with a smile.

Ferguson was already waiting below, the old man was blushing before the end of the game, and now he looked better.

"Aldridge, Manchester United may have lost the most important two points in the title race!"

Ferguson's tone was nothing more than a semi-lighthearted quip.

But perhaps seriously, the process of losing the title last season is still fresh in my mind.

Who knows what the way is?

Aldrich didn't care anyway.

He shook hands with Alex Ferguson and smiled: "Alex, Millwall may have scored the most crucial point on the road to relegation. ”

Ferguson glared at him and said: "If you say that Millwall are relegation teams, I will think you are mocking Manchester United!" ”

They didn't win Millwall at home, and if Millwall are relegation teams, then what will Manchester United do to compete for the title?

And Ferguson has to admit deep down that Manchester United played better than Millwall in the whole game, and only one period of time.

Aldrich smiled and stopped raising the bar.

"I'm waiting for you in the office, it's worth taking out my treasure today."

"It's good, I'll see you later."

Aldridge and Ferguson parted, then went back to the dressing room to have a brief chat with the players, and after the away game, they had to take the car home.

At the post-match press conference, the reporters couldn't wait.

The reporters who watched the whole process of the game had too many questions, and many of them could not calm down for a long time.

What kind of game is this?

Manchester United, the favorite to win the championship, the Premier League hegemon, and the traditional giant, faced Millwall, the favorite who was promoted and relegated to the bottom five, at home, and actually played a game that no one could have guessed.

Manchester United fell behind, then reversed, then reversed, equalised, and then equalised.

Millwall was leading, reversed, reversed, equalized, led again before the end, and was equalized in the last second!

F-uck!

Not only is the process ups and downs, but the scene is even more passionate!

Ferguson appeared, and the old Scottish man looked normal, when the reporter asked: "Manchester United obviously lost their dominance of the game today, lost the color of the protagonist of Old Trafford, as a manager, what do you think is the reason?" ”

Ferguson shrugged and chuckled: "The reason is, this is the Premier League, everyone who watched the game knows that neither side intends to test the opponent, from the first second of the game, they opened up the attack, Millwall is very strong, they think they are relegation favorites The ball critics are idiots, they can make the game run at a very fast pace, Manchester United was a little uncomfortable at first, but then I realized that since I can't hold it, it can only be seen who scores more goals, and at the end, we played a classic game." ”

"So, do you think Millwall are a strong contender for the title this season?"

Ferguson nodded with a serious expression: "Of course, can any of you tell when the last time Manchester United conceded five goals at home? And as two consecutive top-flight champions and runners-up, isn't Millwall's performance enough to challenge for the title? ”

When Aldrich came to be interviewed, the reporters at the press conference couldn't help but laugh.

Aldrich thought it was strange and sat down and asked, "Is there a problem?" ”

Richard of the Daily Mail raised his hand, and Aldridge was an old friend of him, so he asked him to ask questions first.

"Mr Hall, did you agree with Mr Alex Ferguson when he said that Millwall were one of the contenders for the league title?"

Aldrich said without hesitation: "Of course not. Millwall are still young and have been lucky to be relegated from the Premier League this season. ”

He doesn't want his team to be targeted.

'But you scored five goals at Manchester United's home stadium and almost won the game, and United were the side behind for a long time.

Aldrich said exaggeratedly and seriously: "Of course! This is the Theater of Dreams! What team wouldn't want to put in a show here? To be able to play here, of course, you have to make the most of the opportunity, and I think teams like Middlesbrough, Southampton, Queens Park Rangers and so on at Old Trafford will fight with 200 per cent fighting spirit and then leave here with your head held high at the end of the game. ”

The reporters in the audience were happy.

Alex Ferguson and Aldridge, both managers are smiling.

When Ferguson wanted to set Millwall on fire, Aldridge complimented Manchester United but reminded other teams that it was an honour to come here and fight Manchester United.

Maybe there will be another pair of equal opponents in the Premier League.

'Millwall was equalised in the last moments, how did you feel? Disappointing with the players? ”

Aldridge pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I'm sad and disappointed because I failed the players, my players were impeccable, but I didn't help them win, the blame is on me. ”

The reporters in the audience were happy at first, thinking that Aldridge was going to blame the players, but they didn't expect him to take the blame on himself.

It's really strange, in this game, although Millwall was equalized, it should have exceeded expectations, isn't Aldridge unhappy if he doesn't take away the three points?

"Mr. Hall, can you explain? What do you feel guilty about? ”

Aldridge confessed: "I should have used the last two substitutions to stop United's late onslaught, but I was sent off in the stands and I forgot to remind my assistant that it was all my fault, the players were great and I was playing so badly. ”

The reporters were speechless, although they all guessed that Aldridge would definitely buy people's hearts by saying this, but if he could say such things openly in front of more than 40 media reporters, the players would die for him, who would think it was not worth it?

Manchester United's home match against Millwall in the first round of the English Premier League in the 95/96 season was voted the best game since the beginning of the Premier League, and in the Premier League's 10 and 20 years anniversary celebrations, it is still at the top of the classic competition list, not only because of the excitement and technical and tactical content of the game, but also because it is a milestone in the rise of many young stars in Manchester United and Millwall, announcing the dawn of a new era.
