Thank you for the reward of "Death of the Thief" and "Purple Sunrise"! ——

May 9 at three p.m

This is a traditional start time for the Premier League, which has not yet begun to take care of the Asian market and will start the game, but it is also soon, and it will cause a lot of criticism from local fans, after all, the start time will become their lunch time.

In the 38th round of the Premier League, 10 matches of 20 teams will be played at the same time.

In the last round of the league, Millwall did its best to beat Sheffield Wednesday by two goals away from home, the main players mainly adjusted the state, and the opponent also announced the success of relegation, as long as it was not an ugly loss at home, the team could accept it, Sheffield Wednesday at least breathed a sigh of relief, Millwall did not want to chase the goal difference disadvantage between Manchester United and the killing, if it is really a real gun, Sheffield Wednesday at home in order to save face, even if it is clear that Millwall can not be kicked, at least it will be bloody to fight with Millwall.

Aldridge didn't think about brushing the goal difference on Sheffield Wednesday at all, this idea is extremely stupid, the Premier League teams want to play a big score, even if the two teams with a huge disparity in strength, it will be a specific factor to produce a big score result, the strong team is super strong, the weak team is facing the situation of having to attack aggressively, etc., Sheffield Wednesday relegation successfully fought at home, Millwall really dared to score the third and fourth goals away from home, maybe the opponent jumped over the wall and injured a few players in Millwall, but it was not necessarily deliberately hurting, But the scramble, the confrontation will definitely be very intense, and everyone has three points of fire. Trees do not have bark. People still have faces!

In the same round. Manchester United beat Leeds United 3-0 at home and Arsenal beat Everton 4-0, and Millwall's hopes of defending the title were also shattered in theory, and the only place that existed in theory was the runners-up, requiring Millwall to not only beat Manchester United at home, but also win by six

There are not many highlights in the final game of the Premier League this season, with only two relegation battles, and Barnsley and Crystal Palace were relegated early. Everton and Bolton Wanderers are battling for the last place on shore, with a point separating the two teams and Bolton leading the points.

The Premier League title will be won between Manchester United and Arsenal, with only one point separating the two, with Arsenal taking the lead.

The real piece of the trophy was sent to Villa Park, where Arsenal travelled to challenge Aston Villa and only need to win the game to secure the title.

Another replica was brought to the Lion's Den Stadium for Manchester United.

Aldridge appeared calm today and spoke to the players in the dressing room before the game.

'Arsenal are our city derby rivals. They lost or drew and Manchester United won us today. Manchester United are champions and we're going to celebrate on our home turf and that's something our fans can't accept and I can't accept. I don't wish Arsenal a win, but I can't allow United to lift the trophy at the Lions' Den either. ”

If it weren't Manchester United, Aldridge wouldn't have put pressure on his players, but today's situation forced him to make them aware of the consequences of losing!

Millwall have not been beaten twice in a single season by any team in the league since Aldridge took over, and there is a history of being beaten twice by Newcastle United in cup competitions, but that doesn't matter.

But if they lose at home to Manchester United today, Millwall's unbeaten run at home for nearly two years will come to an end, and they will be beaten twice in the league, and it is possible to witness the opponent celebrate winning the championship at their own home, which is absolutely intolerable and must be avoided.

Aldridge shook hands with Alex Ferguson before the game and then returned to the dugout and sat down, staring calmly at the field as if he didn't care about the game.

Manchester United gave away the top spot that they had sat on for most of the year to Arsenal, who is to blame?

In the first half of the meeting, they even beat the strong defending champions, but they did not expect Arsenal to go against the sky in the second half of the season.

Yes, Arsenal went against the grain.

In the second half of the season, they recorded 15 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 18 games, which is 47 points.

If Arsenal had done that in the first half of the season, they would have had around 95 points, not counting the results of the last round.

It's clear that Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have exploded into incredible power as they mature.

It's not uncommon for this to happen, and every time a team reaches a new stage of technical and tactical play, there is a wave of good results, like Millwall, who won 18 consecutive games last year.

One of the laws of football such as changing the coach also reflects this aspect, the new coach takes office, the players are three military lives, the new coach brings a novel tactical system, the players work hard to play, and often can play a stage of good performance, but when the peak period passes, the opponent's targeted research, their own motivation fatigue, plus other factors, will fall from the peak, tend to normal or fall into the trough after being eaten by the opponent.

Millwall also performed well in the second half of the season, 18 games, 13 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and gained 42 points, which is not the last game, if there is such a performance in the first half of the season, Millwall has at least about 85 points, which has been a championship-level performance in the past few Premier League games, but in the first half of the season they drew more, plus they also lost two games.

But the team's upward trend is obvious, especially in the second half of the season, when the main players are going to Europe, the league's excellent results are achieved by substitutes.

Compared with these two teams, Manchester United obviously played a lot worse in the second half of the season, from 10 points ahead of Arsenal to 1 point overtake, and now there is only a 3-point gap with Millwall, what is Manchester United missing? Fleet Street unanimously believes that after Cantona's retirement, Manchester United lacked a spiritual leader, Keane is the successor, but unfortunately Keane left the field injured in the second half of the season, which has the most direct impact on Manchester United's results.

Ferguson's face looked a little nervous, and he couldn't relax at all.

Maybe not happy.

Whoever is ahead for most of the season, but can't grasp the initiative to win the championship in the closing game, and can't be happy!

"The final fixture of the 97/98 English Premier League season is just around the corner, with last season's Premier League champions Millwall taking on last season's runners-up Manchester United, who are still in contention for the title. The media has already made various predictions for the next round of the championship. Arsenal win, Arsenal win the title. Arsenal draws, Manchester United don't win, Arsenal still win the title, if Arsenal loses, Manchester United must also lose, Arsenal can win the title, this situation is the opposite for Manchester United. Their theory of winning the title may not necessarily be to beat Millwall at Lions' Den, but in terms of Arsenal's form. The probability of losing away to Aston Villa is simply too low. ”

"Martin, I don't think there's any need to talk about the situation anymore. No team can easily win the league championship, if you want to win the championship, you must show the courage and will to win the championship! Arsenal want the title, Manchester United wants it, do the two teams have to stare at the opponent's game and adjust their rhythm in the final game? No, not at all, forget about the points and go for the win is what the winning team should do, the situation is not in the mood for Manchester United. But if Manchester United wondered if Arsenal would lose, would they only get a draw to play the game? So how can they play 100%, or even 200%, to win the championship? ”

"Hehe, Andy, you're right. United will have to think about taking Millwall first, but Hall doesn't seem to want the Reds to walk away with the win here with ease. Although he sent a full bench today against the Red Devils, judging from Hall's line-up, this is completely a posture of sniping Manchester United. 4312, the three midfielders, Gattuso, Lampard, Ballack, these are all ruthless characters who can fight and grab, and with Materazzi and Rio Ferdinand's solid performances in the second half of the league, it is difficult to look at them with the usual eyes of a team's substitutes. ”

"Yes, although Hall has failed to defend the league title this season, I think this is a season for them to have a good harvest, a season to lay the foundation for a better tomorrow, many young players have grown up through the game, the gap between the main and the bench is narrowing, Millwall as a whole has become stronger, this season they have been planted in multi-front operations, planted in the teams with the dense defensive sniper strategy that was beaten to shame last season, but they still have a lot of improvement, The excellent performances in Europe proved that, as was the fact that the second half of the season was better than the first, and that was despite Millwall's distraction from European competition. ”

Aldridge sat in the dugout, watching the game with his chin propped up, looking nonchalant.

Manchester United has been anti-friendly since the beginning, and the offensive has been wave after wave, but it is all thunder and rain.

Millwall in the second half of the season after adjusting the strategy, coupled with Aldridge's psychological warfare in the league, this group of substitutes in the league has been greatly exercised, especially the defensive end is more and more stable, today and more focused on defense than usual, the three midfielders run wide, the defense is tough, the posture of the initiative to retreat, Manchester United's attack only relies on two wings to get high balls, the shot in the threat area is zero, and even the long shot can not find a good time to start.

Today's midfielder is Ronaldo, and the forward partners are Gudjohnsen and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Millwall's counterattack from defense to attack is simple and direct, Xiao Luo moves freely in the front court, and after receiving the ball, he can pass the ball, and the striker is stared at death, so he comes by himself, anyway, the opponent attacks fiercely, and the midfield and backfield defense is a Bart.

Manchester United's players worked hard today, but unfortunately the forward line was not good.

Today's on is Andy Cole and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Babyface has been plagued by injuries this season, with a low goal tally and Sheringham who bought him in the summer, so what is Manchester United lacking in terms of staffing, which already has a golden midfield?

If Ferguson asks Aldrich, Aldrich will generously tell him: Black Wind is a double evil.

You're missing a York who can pass and shoot.

Of course, according to the historical trajectory, Manchester United and York are also about to come together.

Aldridge will not hinder this lack of morality, the players he bought must be planned, and Millwall has not reached the point where some giants buy players just so that their competitors can't get them.

United have relied on two flanks to attack dangerous areas, but they have always been close to goal, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's form since returning from injury has been unflattering.

Seeing that the former love will work the field but not perform well, Aldrich couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United pressed the situation to play another wave of attack, Neville also assisted, but unfortunately the ball on the side was intercepted by Materazzi accurately, and then, Millwall turned the gun and pulled the trigger on Manchester United!

Ronaldinho won the ball in front of the field and dribbled horizontally to get out of the gap, and Gudjohnsen made a one-two combination and then stepped forward, after passing Bart, he made a one-two with Ruud van Nistelrooy in front of the penalty area, and within seconds of successive one-two directly penetrated the Manchester United defence, Ronaldo dribbled into the penalty area, and faced the attacking Schmeichel to push the far corner of the goal.

After the goal, Ronaldo shook his head and made a trademark gesture to greet the fans in the stands, the Lion's Den stadium was thunderous, they liked this Brazilian so much, the magic footwork, the agile body, coupled with the joyful celebration after the goal, every Lions fan firmly believed: Ronaldinho, the next king of Millwall!

The United fans clutched their heads in despair as they did Ferguson's expression, anger mixed with pathos.

If it weren't for the loss at home to Arsenal, why would they have been more aggressive and unrestrained in the closing game against the desireless Millwall, resulting in the opponent's counterattack and conceding the goal, and the opponent's happy celebration made Manchester United feel as if they were humiliated.
