074 There are talented people in football
At the end of the first half, the players were walking towards the tunnel with normal expressions on both sides, with Millwall just a little indignant.
Aldridge walked from the sidelines towards the players' tunnel, and the fans in the stands leaned out to make various movements towards him.
Booing, cheering, clapping sarcastically, invective, ridicule, and even pointing at him and yelling: "London boy, it's too early to be happy, isn't it?" We at Manchester United are not going to be easily defeated, so what about being two goals ahead? When the game is over, you guys will cry and go back to London! ”
Aldridge walked forward with a nonchalant face, unconcerned about the pressure exerted by the United supporters, and it was the most stupid thing to do to compete with the fans.
After returning to the dressing room, Aldridge first looked at the state of the players, they were all good, and their fighting spirit was not depressed.
It's just that Trezeguet is out of breath significantly faster than others, and even though he has recovered his physical condition through pre-season training, he is still a little overwhelmed in such a fast-paced game, and the indulgence of the summer holidays still has after-effects.
Aldridge took out a pen and drew a simple matchup on the tactical board, then circled Neil's position, turned back to Neil and said: "Forget the first half, continue to step forward in the second half, don't have a psychological burden." ”
Neil nodded vigorously, and at the end of the first half, he was really afraid that he would make another mistake and the team would concede a goal, so he stayed honestly behind.
Aldridge didn't say what he said in his heart, in fact, half of the responsibility for the goal lost after Neil's mistake was on him, the head coach.
"Claude, if the first goal conceded in the first half happens again, then you don't have to intercept the opponent's counterattack in the first place, withdraw one after another, even if you return to the penalty area, to ensure that we will not have a numerical disadvantage in the most dangerous area in front of the goal, and compress the opponent's attacking space in front of the penalty area."
Aldridge gave Makelele an explanation, and the players invariably raised their heads to look at Aldridge when they heard this, and saw that he just smiled faintly, for some reason, they felt that Aldrich's charismatic aura seemed to have been enhanced again.
In fact, in Aldridge's previous tactical arrangement, once the side was counterattacked, Makelele's task was to intercept it as soon as possible, but the effect was not good, after all, the width of the field was there, and Manchester United was a two-wing flying tactic, with Makelele's two legs, naturally no football ran fast, it was Aldridge's tactical mistake that Makelele went to intercept Beckham, but the middle was vacant, creating an opportunity for Bart to attack.
Aldridge's midfield adjustment is to overturn his previous tactical arrangement, and he has nothing to be ashamed of, mistakes, anyone will have them, mistakes are not terrible, what is terrible is not to admit mistakes and not repent.
After being beaten on the counter-attack, let Makelle retreat near the penalty area first, so that even if Manchester United's counterattack hits the penalty area, even if there is a numerical advantage, Millwall's defensive line will not be too large, and it can compress the vertical attacking space to the greatest extent.
After some tactical set-ups in midfield, Aldridge once again stirred up the morale of his players, praising their performance in the first half of 45 minutes, hoping that the second half would continue.
The break ended quickly and the players walked out of the dressing room again.
Aldridge returned to the dugout and stood on the sidelines, his chin slightly raised with his hands in his pockets, a gesture that gave the players a sense of confidence when they saw it.
His infectious energy has been influencing the team in the space of a year.
If the manager is a coward, coming to Old Trafford and shrinking back in defense and not even having the courage to challenge, then it may be a fiasco for Aldridge Mateus, Baggio, Maldini and other best players of our time.
Ferguson sat down in the dugout again, chewing gum as if returning to his pre-game composure.
Referee Dugin blew the whistle for the start of the second half and Manchester United kicked off.
Although the game was still a draw, there were only 45 minutes left for the Reds and they clearly would not want to drop points in the first round of the league, especially at home to promoted clubs.
As a result, United's attack was ferocious, with Millwall having to drop back to defend at the start of the second half.
Aldridge watched the game from the sidelines, and suddenly felt that Manchester United's formation was a little strange, and the number of red shirts in front of him was different from the first half.
This is caused by the visual sense, he stares at the midfield, so the players at the end of the pitch only have a vague shadow in the corner of the eye, and most of the time, he watches the two teams play in the part of the pitch, Manchester United players and Millwall players, the number of red and blue figures is roughly equal, but they are constantly moving.
But he suddenly felt that Manchester United had more players involved in the attack than in the first half!
Who?
The extra must be a surprise soldier!
He took a closer look and noticed that one of United's players had moved from the back to the front unnoticed.
Left-back, Erwin.
When Aldridge found out about this, he saw that Schneider was sandwiching with Thuram to force Giggs, who had just received the ball, Aldridge was not good, and he didn't have time to shout to remind the player, only to see Giggs gently pass the ball to the right, and Erwin started and strode forward from Giggs's right five meters to lead the ball.
"Intercept him!"
Aldrich yelled.
When the players are highly focused, it is impossible to hear Aldridge's shouting, and even if they do, it is difficult to react quickly.
And Schneider and Thuram found that Giggs and Erwin had completed their cooperation, and the two responded almost subconsciously.
Thuram had a positional advantage in interception, he gave up Giggs, and Schneider also started to run directly to the backfield to fill the gap left by Thuram, which made Giggs, who started to cut forward after passing the ball, unable to have a positional advantage.
Thuram decisively accelerated to steal Erwin directly from the side, he stretched his thigh in front of the opponent, and then grabbed the ball in front of the opponent, but Erwin was knocked to the ground.
Dugin blows for a halt to the game and Gram is fouled.
Annoyed and helpless, Thuram bent down to pick up the ball and squeeze it in his hand, and then threw it to the ground.
Dugin showed Thuram a yellow card.
Aldridge laughed angrily from the sidelines, nodding and clapping.
-!
Even if Thuram's movement just now was a bit big, it could be bigger than Roy Keane's action directly at Nedved?
The place of the foul was not bad, in front of the right side of the Millwall penalty area, about thirty yards from the goal.
It was David Beckham who took the free-kick.
Aldrich's scalp tingled.
If the team faces a free-kick master, the manager has nothing to do.
Put more people on the wall? Or tell the goalkeeper which side to save?
It is unclear how far Beckham's free-kick skills have come today, Aldridge has not yet been able to take good free-kicks at Millwall last season.
There are not too many complicated tactics to defend direct free kicks, the angle of the human wall blocking the near post, the goalkeeper blocking the far post, the reason is also very simple, the human wall sets a barrier on the straight closest distance path between the ball and the goal, the player jumps to expand the defensive area, the goalkeeper defends the far end, if the ball hits the far corner, the flight time is longer, and the goalkeeper has more reaction time.
Millwall set up a wall and other players kept an eye on Manchester United's attacking players lurking in and out of the box.
David Beckham stood quietly behind the ball, looking at the wall of people in front of him, all of them were familiar faces.
In five months of life at Millwall, he was satisfied with everything except the ending.
But what angered him the most was Aldridge's ranting at him in the locker room.
Beckham, who was selected by Manchester United as a child, naturally grew up with pride, but Aldridge left a lingering shadow in his heart.
He needed to prove himself, especially in front of the young marshal.
Tell him openly and proudly: You are wrong!
Dugin's whistle blew and Old Trafford fell silent.
Under the watchful eye, Beckham ran up, supporting his left foot to step on the fixed point, while his left arm was raised on the left side of his body to make an arc to ensure that his body was balanced after a large tilt to the left, and the front half of his straight right foot perfectly kicked the ball, forming a huge friction after exerting force.
The kicked ball began to fly with a powerful spin.
The wall jumped, Southgate jumped to the extreme, but couldn't touch the ball.
The ball flew high, but after crossing the human wall, it began to spin and fall, and the exaggerated arc was like a slanting rainbow.
The human wall fell to the ground, and the Millwall players all looked towards the goal, goalkeeper Keller was stunned and kept turning his head, only to see the ball lying quietly in the net, the red waves in the stands of Old Trafford, and the cheers of the mountains and tsunami shook the sky!
Best's arc, rise rivers and lakes!
“3:2! Manchester United came back from two goals down to win the game back from two goals down! It was a wonderful free-kick and a delightful trajectory. ”
"It's just art! David Beckham, this young player has just become the main player of Manchester United and has shown his value, Aaron Hansen, you underestimate these children, Beckham's free kick is enough to remember for a long time! ”
Beckham smiled, unbridled and proudly smiled towards the stands with open arms!
