The recent frenzy of public opinion created by the British media has made Aldridge cry and laugh.
Millwall is portrayed as a brutal ruling class, and Aldrich is portrayed as a dictator with one hand!
What about the rest of the Premier League?
It has become an oppressed and vulnerable group.
Now, at the call of the media.
It's time to rebel!
It's time to subvert the "tyrant"!
It's very bizarre, Aldrich has another nickname.
Despot!
Well, this tyrant has a distinctly different meaning from Van Gaal's tyrant, which is based on military means, while Aldrich's tyrant is interpreted as: ruthlessly plundering other people's championship dreams.
As the Charity Shield was launched, Aldrich laughed at the press conference, constantly denying, denying, denying.
"No, that's unfair! I'm going to consider getting a lawyer to sue you unethical media people! ”
"Millwall's success was not given to us by others, let alone obtained by unethical means, so why accuse us? Is it because we are so successful? ”
"Don't ask me anything about my greatest achievement, I'm only 24!"
It sounds like Aldrich is at war with these reporters, but in fact, on the contrary, the atmosphere is very harmonious.
"Tomorrow's Charity Shield, against Manchester United, what do you think? If Millwall loses, will it be a signal? ”
"Signal? What signal? We lost the Charity Shield, so we're going to lose the league title? I haven't played a league game yet. Come on. The Charity Shield is the Charity Shield. Any result doesn't send a signal, you guys think too much. ”
On the day of the Charity Shield, Millwall and Manchester United play at Wembley.
Lions fans are depressed.
Having just said goodbye to Wembley last season, the pitch has taken on a more special emotion for them.
But as soon as they left, Arsenal reached an agreement with the FA to play a European game, and Arsenal used Wembley as their home stadium!
Arsene Wenger didn't approve of it, but considering playing at Wembley. The ticket can be doubled, and the economic benefit consideration defeats reality, and he can only compromise.
Wembley in addition to playing the final of the domestic cup, usually the home of the national team, Millwall borrowed for a while, here, the Lions fans have wonderful memories, and now Arsenal borrows again, the time is seamless, always giving people the illusion that they slept with their girlfriend yesterday. I was immediately seduced away by someone else today
Despite these involuntary moods, the fans are still very enthusiastic.
Playing Manchester United. Just what I wanted!
Aldridge walked in to shake hands with Ferguson before the game, and the old Scottish man looked bad.
The noisy trend of public opinion on Fleet Street made him very uncomfortable.
It seems that the outside world has decided that Manchester United are a head below Millwall, and there is the fucking "Sun" newspaper, which advertises Aldridge to be able to compete with 19 managers in the Premier League on his own.
Lao Tzu "half a life", countless honors, to this day, but by a 24-year-old young man under the feet, it seems that the foundation he laid at Manchester United was degraded to worthless in an instant!
People are more angry than people!
Throughout the summer, Manchester United was very active in preparing for the game, and Ferguson couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to fight Millwall to the end from the beginning of the new season!
Aldrich's mood was mixed.
He actually wanted to mock Ferguson.
poached Richardson from Millwall, Aldridge was not distressed, he just wanted to squeeze the other party.
As a result, Ferguson first looked at him with bitter and hateful eyes, and Aldridge was not easy to open his mouth to stimulate the other party.
"Haluha, Martin, did you see Ferguson's face when he came face to face with Hall?"
"Of course I saw it, Manchester United scored 88 points last season, which was the highest score in the Premier League after the restructuring of 20 teams, and the result was to lose to Millwall, they continued to win in the second half to snipe Millwall, probably from the end of February in the expectation of Millwall's collapse, but they worked hard to the fullest, not only did they not see Millwall drop the chain, but they lined up at Old Trafford to welcome Millwall to defend the title! That's just rubbing salt in Manchester United's wounds, can Ferguson look good? ”
"Hahaha, Ferguson said that Millwall is still the favorite to win the Premier League in the new season, but judging from the summer preparations, Manchester United has huge ambitions for the new season, Ferguson is well versed in psychological warfare, and he is now making Millwall the focus."
"Look at the starters of the two teams today, both teams are full of main players, well, Millwall's side took Makelele in the summer, Gattuso replaced, there are no other changes, the formation is still 433.Manchester United has three changes from last season, the first is the goalkeeper position, Barthez replaces Bosnic, the young Brown plays the central defender, and Silvester removes Erwin to play left wing-back."
Aldridge returned to the dugout and sat down, quietly watching the game.
Manchester United's framework will not change, and basically there will be no major changes in the style of play.
And Millwall is listed as the top team in Europe, and the outside world seems to ignore a very important fact: Millwall still has room to rise and is still improving!
Ronaldo, Pirlo, Zambrotta, Thierry Henry have room for improvement.
"York's shot! It's a pity that Millwall patiently organized the attack, and today Millwall's attack seemed to be a bit of a tendon, and it was hard to beat Brown. ”
'It's a matter of course, Brown is young, inexperienced, he's the weakest link in United's back line.
Defending this part of the guard ten times can be ruined by a single negligence or mistake.
Under pressure, Brown made a mistake in the 33rd minute of the first half when he was beaten by Thierry Henry and Nedved.
Henry took the ball with his back and knocked it back, and Nedved stepped in and carried Keane forward.
Brown is messy, to grab or not to rob?
Seeing that Keane couldn't break the ball at Nedved's feet, Brown still chose to step forward to support, but he made a move, and Nedved went straight to the ball. Henry's shot from a tight angle after the offside position pierced the ten fingers of his national team teammate Barthez.
"Wow. Martin. I wasn't surprised at all, Thierry Henry got that chance to get the ball into the back of the net, it's normal, but it's a lot of fun, Keane, Nedved, hehe, whenever Millwall play against Manchester United. The collision of the two was the focal point, and this time, Keane couldn't get past Nedved. ”
Keane defensively strong, but that doesn't mean he can succeed every time he defends, otherwise, he's a god.
Especially his contest with Nedved, the two of them have won and lost each other, and it has always been a big spectacle in the Premier League.
Unlike Keane's confrontation with Vieira, after all, both are in the middle of the backfield. The range of motion is large, but direct collisions are infrequent. People often compare the two because they are in similar positions, and Keane and Nedved happen to be the two who are directly facing each other in attack and defense.
Just now, Keane directly fought hard when Nedved stepped in front of him to get the ball, but he failed to knock down Nedved, Nedved's center of gravity was a little off, and he distanced himself from Keane with the ball, and Keane chased from behind, except for fouls, there was no other way, the position was not dominant, and now the team lost the ball, and the only thing he regretted was not to take a foul.
Watching Millwall's players celebrate their goals, Keane reluctantly spread his hands towards Brown.
He didn't guard Nedved and didn't blame Brown too much, but Brown lost his position easily, which was unacceptable.
Brown, who is a junior in the middle, feels very aggrieved, and there is a Henry on the opposite side in the middle, he comes up to support, and there should be Stamm behind him.
Stam is almost numb to this kind of conceding the ball, if he can avoid conceding the ball by filling in the position, then the matter is very simple, but at the same time as Nedved gets the ball, Larsson cuts inside and runs, Sylvester is obviously behind Larsson, if he goes to fill in the position, Henry knocks horizontally, Larsson can almost hit the empty goal.
Ferguson chewed gum a little more often on the sidelines.
At the end of the day, against a top-tier attacking group, you have to have a top-tier backline.
Stam is no problem, but if there is a lack of a good central defender, a central defender at the quasi-world level or above, is it easy to find it in the whole world? It's not too difficult, but you can't dig it up!
Alex Ferguson wanted to try his hand at beating Millwall on both wings today, but his pre-match tactical set-up proved to be a failure.
Brown's weakness at this point triggered a huge chain reaction, Keane and Neville wanted to help him, and the frontcourt support was not enough, resulting in Ronaldinho pressing Manchester United's right side on the left side, and Xiaobei completely became a sapper, doing dirty work in the backfield.
Gattuso himself does not have the strong characteristics of Makellele's anticipatory and accurate interception, but through his wide range of runs and tough and decisive defense, he either succeeds or fouls, and becomes a-stirring stick, turning Manchester United's attack in the middle upside down and suffering setbacks one after another.
It was supposed to be a friendly match of the Charity Shield, but Ferguson stood on the sidelines and couldn't stand it anymore.
Manchester United has held on to 442 under him for many years, and it is clear that the squad is the top in Europe, but it is impossible to see Millwall suppressed.
Pirlo, who controls the tempo and plays the ball accurately, is more difficult to limit than before, and Millwall's midfield advantage is too huge.
This is not only the individual ability of the players, originally their three midfielders, Gattuso, Pirlo, Nedved, the advantage formed by the three in the middle is more obvious than Scholes and Keane's front and rear positions, whether it is passing and controlling cooperation or cutting the formation when defending to counter-attack, Millwall's advantage in the midfield link is clear at a glance.
Ferguson began to think about a tactical change for Manchester United.
It doesn't work anymore.
Otherwise, as long as they play Millwall, they will fall into the middle of the field and the initiative will be completely handed over to the opponent.
How exactly it will change needs to be carefully considered, and now, at best, it is a test of the player's individual ability.
Millwall gave Ferguson a lot of face, and whatever he wanted, Millwall gave him.
Brown, I wonder if there will be nightmares after this game.
He was passed twice in 10 minutes by Ronaldo, and the second time he collided with Neville in embarrassment.
It's a pity that Xiao Luo didn't bring shooting boots, and he couldn't get the ball into the goal after cutting inside twice with the ball, once he flew away, and once he was taken into Barthez's arms.
At the end of the first half, Millwall took a one-goal lead and the United crowd headed to the tunnel with a full stomach full of resentment.
Aldrich also walked to the locker room with his head down.
The pre-game targeted deployment is to hit Brown, which is understandable, pinch seven inches and hit to death.
The effect is not bad, of course, there is also a hint of malicious pleasure in his heart: it is better to abuse Brown with a psychological shadow, and his feet will be soft when he meets Millwall.
But Millwall really can't be the same for the new season.
They are the target of public criticism, the public enemies of Europe, the whole of Europe is studying them, and if they remain the same, this advantage may be eroded little by little.
He was thinking about the situation on the field, and he combined Gattuso's strengths to make some changes in the details. (To be continued......)
