When United took a two-goal lead after the opening kick-off, the players on the pitch made their own adjustments, taking the initiative to shrink and counterattack, and with 80 minutes left in the game, Ferguson was furious about the performance of his players, but were the players really wrong?

This group of experienced players, who play in the top league every day and have won the top of Europe, are they wrong to make a choice through their experience?

It's not necessarily wrong, but it's certainly not as thoughtful as the manager, especially when it comes to the bigger picture.

Not only did Ferguson roar at the players in the first half, but he must have also deliberately told him at half-time whether he had turned on the hair dryer or not, no one knows, but the probability is not high, after all, Manchester United is ahead.

Therefore, in the second half, even if the score was 2:4 and Manchester United still led by two goals with 30 minutes left in the game, the players did not dare to make their own adjustments, and they had to unswervingly implement Ferguson's tactical arrangement, which had already had a good effect, and they were happy to continue to execute.

However, in the 66th minute of the game, Pirlo once again sent a wonderful assist, and Larsson sent the ball into the door of Manchester United after successfully countering offside from Silvestre, Ferguson woke up!

Although the details of Millwall's goal were different from the second goal just now, the routine was the same.

Manchester United's attack was stopped, Millwall counterattacked, the ball went to the front, 4 to 4!

By the time the United attackers ran back to the defence, the ball had already gone in.

The two goals conceded were the same.

Ferguson wakes up like a dream!

Once again, he gritted his teeth and rushed to the sidelines.

Finally, he found out what the problem was!

Millwall didn't celebrate after scoring and immediately ran to the backfield.

In the process. Ferguson turned his head to look at Aldrich. I saw Aldrich tilting his head slightly, and his eyes were staring at him fiercely.

Old man. Did you finally find out?!

Ferguson's face changed slightly, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, he couldn't blame the players, it was his fault, his negligence as a manager.

In the second half, the pattern was completely different from the first!

Millwall scored a goal in the first half, and it was a positional battle that patiently pushed forward to tear apart United's defence.

This kind of goal conceded, Manchester United is really helpless. It's like a boiled frog in warm water.

It was precisely in order to avoid such an ending that Ferguson made Manchester United play more risky and aggressive than before!

And the two goals conceded by Manchester United in the second half were exactly the same.

The most lethal part is the contrast between the offensive and defensive situations of the two goals conceded.

4VS4。

Pirlo, Larsson, Ronaldinho, Henry.

VS

Johnson, Neville, Stam, Sylvester.

What's the problem?

Glance. In such a 4vs4, Manchester United conceded two goals. Weird, isn't it?

And it is when there is so much space in the backfield for the attacking side to play together.

Ronaldinho is almost refreshed, it has been a long time since he has encountered a flat scene when playing an attack, and he can play however he wants.

On the other hand, what about when United attack?

6VS6！

Ferguson regretted it!

Whether it's 1:3 or 2:4, Manchester United is two goals ahead!

The offense is 6 to 6, and the defense is 4 to 4.

The number of people is balanced, but the space in the half court has not changed, and the difficulty of 6 to 6 is naturally much higher than that of 4 to 4!

When did this happen?

In the 51st minute, when Aldridge gave the order to attack.

In the first half, the adjustment of the attacking players in the front field did not return to the defense was just made, Manchester United scored again, and there was not much time left, Manchester United took the initiative to stabilize and defend well, so I couldn't see this change.

And from the 51st minute of the second half, such changes were very clearly displayed on the field.

Ferguson should have found it earlier, but just after Millwall scored the second, Ryan Giggs quickly added another goal and the joy made him ignore the problem that he had noticed.

Now that the problem has been discovered, Ferguson has to start working on it.

He immediately ordered Keane and Scholes to pull back!

This does not conflict with United's original tactical assumptions of attacking suppression.

Ferguson just wanted to turn the game around, making it 6-on-6 for Millwall and 4-on-4 for Manchester United.

When Aldridge saw and confirmed United's on-pitch changes in the 70th minute, he shook his fist heavily.

He was sure that from that second onwards, the game would be completely dominated by Millwall, unless, unless, there really was some bullshit goddess of fate being ravaged by Manchester United.

Ferguson stood on the sidelines and watched the game, frowning in disbelief from the 70-minute mark.

Manchester United, hardly a single decent attack!

Yes and no!

For what?

For what!

Because Millwall is a three-midfielder controlling the middle, and Manchester United has only two in the middle, where is the balance of 6vs6?

Millwall has one more midfielder, Manchester United has one more defender!

Manchester United's back four defended three forwards, while Millwall were three midfielders who pressed Manchester United's twin midfielders, Keane and Paul Scholes.

Once Beckham and Ryan Giggs are involved in the midfield defence, Millwall's backline will press up and turn into high-pressure pressing, and Manchester United will not talk about 4vs4 attacks, but will enter the rhythm of conceding the first goal of the first half.

When Beckham and Ryan Giggs, the two full-backs, no longer knew whether to continue to press on the flanks to maintain the threat of attacking starting positions, or to support the defense of the central midfield, Millwall's fourth goal came quietly!

Millwall, who firmly occupied the midfield, passed patiently and then Pirlo scored the final shot from distance in front of the penalty area!

The Millwall fans in the stands went crazy!

If football really can drive people crazy, then this is the moment!

Ferguson was completely out of shape at the moment, but he didn't get angry and put the blame on the players.

If there is a reason to find one, it is that Millwall's squad itself is very strong, plus an Aldridge who makes him chill at the moment.

The one who wins the midfielder wins the world. United could not afford to risk Johnson to play in midfield as well. Then it is natural for the midfield to fall into passivity.

Can a back three and three midfielders keep Millwall at bay?

Not necessarily. However, in the face of the positional battle to play a back three, AC Milan has used actual combat to tell all coaches the effectiveness of this tactic, especially the three defenders in the team are all famous.

Aldridge lowered his head and closed his eyes, waving his fist slightly.

4:4, still haven't won yet, there are 8 minutes left in the game.

Pirlo didn't celebrate after his goal, the Millwall players were like an army, and Henry picked up the ball from the goal and turned around and jogged out at the back like everyone else.

The Manchester United players' eyes were full of incredulity, and there was already a faint glint of fear in the eyes of others.

Millwall. What kind of monster the hell!

Ferguson looked down on the sidelines and waved his hands for his players to counter-attack.

Maybe the offensive threat will be greatly reduced, but at least it will not be affected by the opponent's huge midfield advantage, calmly organize the attack to play Scholes and Keane, that looks really sad, there is an inexplicable pain.

Seeing United start defending, Aldridge instructed Klinsmann to make a substitution.

In the 85th minute, Millwall made a change.

Klose comes on.

The next player is: Materazzi!!!

"Hall actually replaced a centre-back with a striker! What is this for? What is he going to do?! Are you really not afraid of Manchester United's counterattack? Or the obsession with victory has reached the point of madness! Now the score is 4:4! 4:4！ What a draw! ”

The Lions fans at the scene responded with cheers for Aldrich's substitution.

Of course, fans are eager for Millwall to simply be a 0-0-10 formation and forget about it, with ten strikers.

A minute later. Aldridge brought on Lampard for Gattuso.

This substitution doesn't look like much.

But Aldridge stared at Lampard from the sidelines.

He needs to know what Frank Lampard's tactical execution will be in the little time he has left.

The game was close to full-time. Manchester United counter-attacked, Ferguson made two substitutions in a row, allowing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to wait for an opportunity to counter-attack, and Erwin came on to strengthen the defensive line at the back, after all, Millwall had an extra striker.

Whether it is Ronaldo, Henry, Larsson, or Nedved and Pirlo, at this time, either because of physical fitness, or because the opponent is focused on all the attention, the play must be limited.

Millwall wants to win, and they need surprise soldiers.

Could this wonder soldier be Klose?

Wasn't United surprised when Aldridge replaced Materazzi with Klose?

Klose ran straight into the box at the head of the attack, will his threat be ignored by Manchester United?

If he can become a surprise soldier, he must have the strength to crush Stam or Johnson, but unfortunately, he has not yet.

So, replacing Klose to create an accident is just a cover.

The real killer move was the player who came on later: Frank Lampard!

Defensively, Frank Lampard is not as good as Gattuso, but when it comes to attack, Lampard is certainly better than Gattuso, and when he comes on the pitch, he not only helps Millwall to control the midfield more firmly, but also creates his own threat.

As the game went into stoppage time, Millwall created a good chance up front.

Seeing that there were too many people in the box, there was no space for him to cut inside and run inside, and Manchester United were now in a back five formation.

So he pulled it out and dribbled twice on the left flank, Beckham knocked him down from behind, and the referee signalled for Beckham to foul and awarded Millwall a free-kick.

Xiao Luo quickly held down the ball after standing up, and his waist was not straightened up before he kicked quickly.

He kicked the ball down the middle.

Scholes stared at Pirlo, Pirlo had a better chance, but he opted for a leak, Nedved cut forward to run, Keane followed closely beside him, the missed ball fell in front of Lampard, Giggs packed Larsson a little far away from Lampard, and it was certainly too late to defend again.

Frank Lampard opted for a long-range shot unmarked.

Aldridge raised his chin on the sidelines and said to himself.

"I want you to shoot from a distance! Bang it in! ”

The long-range shot was just two metres in front of the penalty area, an area where a long-range shot should hit with quality, not as fortuitous as a long-range shot from 40 yards out.

The fans stood up and watched nervously at the long-range shot from Frank Lampard.

I saw the ball go through Manchester United's back line like a cannonball, heading straight for the goal.

However, the angle is a little right!

The powerful blast less than half a meter above the ground flew almost a meter to Van der Goo's right.

Van der Goo fell to the ground and blocked the ball with both hands, blocked, blocked, but Lampard's long-range shot was too powerful, and Van der Goo couldn't hold the ball at all.

Frank Lampard saw the ball blocked, put his head in his hands, and the next second, the ball popped out of the way and suddenly flew towards the United goal.

I saw the ball hang straight on the net and roll down.

All the players of Manchester United were stunned like a bolt from the blue.

Henry got up from the crowd and ran wildly on the sidelines with open arms!

It was him, when the ball bounced back into the penalty area, the whole person flew out of the box and kicked the ball back into the Manchester United goal with the soles of his feet, and also made Manchester United fall from heaven to the mortal world and was kicked directly into hell!

Keane, who opened the scoring for Manchester United, kicked the post and kept muttering to himself with a hideous expression: "What is it for? For what? For what? For what! ”

For what Millwall is not defeated!

0:2,1:3,2:4！

What the are you not giving up for!

What does it not collapse!

What do you not surrender for!

What is not what is in the end

After Henry scored the ball, Aldridge slowly raised his arms, clenched his hands into fists, and then swung them down heavily, and when he looked up again, the calm look was gone, replaced by a bright smile.

The time to set a new streak in Europe's top five leagues is just around the corner! (To be continued......)
