On match day, the weather was fine on the banks of the River Tyne, and the fans at St James' Park were comfortable watching the game, but they were a little depressed.

They don't like Dalglish, who have a cautious style of play that is completely out of step with Newcastle United's traditions, and they are particularly resentful of Dalglish's sale of Ginola and Rio Ferdinand, and then the players brought in in the transfer market are not worth as much as they deserve.

Newcastle United was criticized for its poor defense during the Keegan era, and now Newcastle United under Dalglish does not show how good the defense is.

The power of the forward line has been sharply reduced, Shearer was injured in the first half of the season, and he has not been able to find his form since his recent return, which directly caused Newcastle United to slip into the bottom half of the table, and the number of goals is the lowest in the Premier League, only slightly stronger than Wimbledon's firepower.

This is really a sad reality for fans, in the "Keegan King era", Newcastle United's offensive firepower was firmly in the top five, often ranked in the top three, and now it is back to before the liberation, how can the fans stand it?

Today at home against Millwall, the fans in the stands can not lift their spirits, Newcastle United offensive threat is not big, Millwall also took the initiative to shrink, yesterday Aldridge despised Newcastle United, which made the opponent very angry, real swords, the two teams fought fiercely, but there were not many wonderful scenes.

Millwall said it was playing 442 and it was more like 451 when defending.

After more than 20 minutes of play, Aldridge got up and called Ballack in front of him and asked the opponent to give more balls at his feet, unless he was absolutely sure. Otherwise, don't try to threaten the ball straight through.

Millwall's attack today was on two flanks. On the left is Xiao Luo. On the right is Glen Shire, Ballack's previous shots always give the advance and there are a lot of mistakes.

The two teams fought fiercely in the midfield, Millwall switched from defense to attack and then quickly advanced through the wing, Ballack inserted in the double back to see the situation, and Gattuso defended firmly at the back, beware of the opponent's counterattack.

Ronaldo and Glen Schal were very eye-catching today, every time the opponent finished the attack. Turning around, Millwall was on the counter-attack, and the wide breakaways of Ronaldo and Glen Charles were simply unstoppable.

"Ronaldinho took the ball and shook Gillespie with a beautiful man, and he continued to rush forward with the ball, cut inside? Wow, he broke through the defense of full-back Watson with a stop-and-go change, dribbled the ball down, controlled the ball while observing, and crossed the ball on the spot. The quality is extremely high, and Gudjohnsen is the first to take the lead. Header on goal! Wow, the Icelander lacked some goal dribbling, and the ball grazed the post and flew off the line! ”

Gudjohnsen turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Ronaldo, who didn't see it, and he actively ran back to defend in the half.

Colleagues in the coaching staff watched Ronaldo's Premier League debut today, and although the game only lasted a few dozen minutes, Ronaldo's performance satisfied everyone.

Aldridge clapped from the sidelines.

After more than two years of training at Millwall, Ronaldo has cut off the free and splendid style of South American players, but he still plays very gorgeously, which is perfectly combined with practicality.

In fact, passing is never complicated, is Messi at his peak very fancy? Control the ball to change direction and accelerate, and the man and ball are combined to a perfect state, and God can't stop it when it rushes.

But to make it easy for players to pass, it is necessary to test the training level of the technical coach, and Muhrensteen has been recognized by the whole club in this regard, he has made many players with fancy skills more concise and practical, Xiao Luo is one of the carefully tuned members, and Van der Meyde's technical improvement is also obvious to all.

Before the end of the first half, Ronaldo once again picked up the ball on the side, this time he directly used the start run to shake off Gillespie, and he did not choose to continue to break through after getting the ball, everyone thought he was still the same old routine, and after taking the ball, he tore apart the Newcastle United defense at a gallop, but he suddenly stopped, and then hit a through ball over the top to the opponent's penalty area.

Ruud van Nistelrooy rushed 10 metres forward and fired a cushion shot at the falling ball, the goalkeeper misjudged and watched the ball enter the goal, Barton raised his hand to signal that the opponent was offside, but the linesman did not say anything.

"The ball is in! Ruud van Nistelrooy opened the scoring for Millwall and he would like to thank Ronaldinho, who provided the assist, for the exception, the Brazilian is an impressive player with a clear skill at his feet, and his long over-the-top pass from the assist just now shows his excellent vision of the big picture! Why didn't Millwall use him sooner? With him, how can he be beaten by Manchester United and Arsenal in a row? ”

Aldridge would have been depressed for a while if he could hear the narrator.

Now Xiao Luo is in good shape and has strong confidence, which is also accumulated after the reserve team gradually adapted.

If you really don't use Xiao Luo earlier, Aldrich will slander in his heart: Lao Tzu still wants Ronaldo to play.

After the goal, Ruud van Nistelrooy ran to celebrate, and Ronaldo was also involved, and the two came to hug.

Although Ronaldo privately complained to Aldridge in the reserve team that Vanney did not give him an assist, the two worked together tacitly.

Millwall walked back into the dressing room with a one-goal lead.

In the second half, the tactics remained the same, shrinking when defending, relying on two wings to make a fuss when switching from defense to attack, weakening the organization in the middle, and playing the role of a smooth transition with two back midfielders.

Newcastle United fell behind at home and didn't play too hard in the second half, at least they didn't press too much, but the overall tactic was not to defend and counterattack, so their formation was decent when attacking in positional battles, giving Millwall's wide players not too much room to play, but it was enough.

Dalglish kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

I can't prevent it, I can't prevent it at all!

Glen Charles started from behind the middle line, that is, he broke through the opponent head-on, sprinted down the right side, made a feint in front of the penalty area, and then made a quick stop and then cut inside, directly pressing the Newcastle United back line, creating a bigger gap in front of the penalty area, and before Barty came to press him, Glen Charles knocked the ball across the left side.

Ronaldo, who cut inside from the wing, arrived and the ball was too comfortable. It's like training. He met the ball and shot angrily. The ball flew neatly into the goal.

"Ronaldinho's debut today was perfect! Not only did he provide an assist to his team-mates, but he also scored a goal that gave Millwall the win! ”

Xiao Luo shook his head and ran to the sidelines after scoring the goal, and at the same time shook his two hands back and forth in a gesture of "six".

Millwall dominated both flanks today, with Newcastle United losing on the flanks and simply not being able to stop Ronaldinho and Glen Schal.

Aldridge sat down and Millwall played with ease because there was something retro about the tactics.

Backcourt players don't attack. The offense depends on the individual play of the frontcourt players, and the two full-backs deliver cannonballs to the two forwards, which is very simple, and has been used by England for many, many years of tactics, Millwall is a threat to play, and the reason is also very simple, the opponent does not put the bus, and the side players have room to play, and in terms of personal ability, Ronaldo and Glenn Charles are both players with good individual ability. But in terms of rhythm, the two are still not ready. So they have a very high success rate in breaking through, but a very average success rate in crosses.

Ten minutes into the game, Newcastle United were in a state of limbo, with Millwall on the lookout.

"Shearer is still out of form today, he was tackled by Materazzi three or four times after taking the ball, and now, he can be directly knocked away by Materazzi with his body, Materazzi intercepted the opponent's attack and passed the ball to Capdevilla on the left, the Spaniard had a bad performance against Arsenal last time, and he simply did not come forward to assist today, but there was no flaw in the defence, he found Van Nistelrooy in front of him with a long pass at the back. After Vanney took the ball sideways, he accelerated directly to get rid of Albert, and the ball was single-handed! ”

Ruud van Nistelrooy rode into the Newcastle United penalty area and faced the goalkeeper, but the intimidating king of the small penalty area, who has always had a high success rate of one-on-one goals, hit the goalkeeper's leg and the ball bounced off the ball, and Gudjohnsen reached out before Barton to poke the ball into the empty net.

Millwall eventually beat Newcastle United 3-0 away.

When Aldridge was interviewed in the mixed zone after the game, the reporter smiled and asked: "How was Ronaldinho doing today?" ”

"Okay, it's about what I expected, but it's just what he should be and it's nowhere near his peak."

"Isn't the performance of one pass and one shot still satisfying you?"

'Speaking of this game alone, he was happy with me, but if he stops at this level, then he can only be a good player, and I think he should be more demanding of himself and make his name associated with greatness.

"Hehe, you're so demanding of him. We were just discussing with our colleagues, what does Ronaldinho's gesture mean when he scores a goal? Is it a mockery of Newcastle United? But after he scored, it should have been seven, and in the two-legged home and away league games, he scored the seventh goal. ”

This point makes many reporters puzzled, and they don't know what the gesture of Xiao Luo's hands means at all.

Aldrich raised his hands, made a "six" gesture, and asked with a smile, "Is this it?" ”

The reporter nodded: "That's right, does this have any special meaning?" ”

Aldridge replied: "Well, sort of, it's a very common gesture in Brazil, which means: Hello. ”

"Hello? To whom did he make this gesture? ”

"I think it's everyone."

"Hehe, his celebration is pleasant."

"Yes, it's a pleasure to watch him play, he sends happiness to the outside world through football, it infects everyone, and his team-mates love him."

"I hope he will continue to perform well in the future."

Aldridge led the team back to London, and at the same time, the results of the World Footballer of the Year selection were also released.

Alien Ronaldo won the award again this year, following the World Footballer of the Year award last year.

The European Ballon d'Or awards pay more attention to the performance of players in the European league, but the judges of the World Footballer of the Year are the football associations and national team coaches of various countries, who pay more attention to the results of the national team and the international influence of the players.

Ronaldo became an international superstar on the platform of Barcelona last year, and then landed in Serie A and performed well, although Inter Milan did not have the Champions League to play, but the Serie A of the Little World Cup is still the most eye-catching league in the world, and Ronaldo helped Brazil win the Copa America championship after many years, at this point, in terms of national team honors, Larsson is indeed incomparable.

Larsson came in second place in the selection, and behind him was Real Madrid's Robert Carlos.

Either way, it's a remarkable achievement, and it adds a lot to Millwall. (To be continued......)
