Kevin Keegan, who had a feud with Aldridge through the media last season, changed his tune before leaving for London, posing as an elder and highly praising Aldridge's achievements so far, and gently saying that Millwall are a team to look forward to.

Fleet Street came to a conclusion after analyzing Kevin Keegan's remarks.

First, Kevin Keegan doesn't take Aldridge seriously and doesn't think Millwall will cause problems for Newcastle United in the title race, and his "peace declaration" is just a modest way to claim victory.

Secondly, Kevin Keegan does not want to build too many enemies with Alex Ferguson, especially when Millwall are only one point behind Manchester United and still in contention for the league title.

Thirdly, Kevin Keegan may well have taken a fancy to a player in the Millwall squad, and now they are looking for a striker all over the world, and the same Asprilla who ended AC Milan's terrifying 58-game unbeaten run has been on Newcastle United's acquisition list, and if nothing happens, the deal will be completed when the January transfer window opens, but Newcastle United's forward line is still thin.

When the spirited Kevin Keegan arrived at the Lion's Den in a dirty suit, Aldridge came up to greet him in a friendly manner.

The live camera naturally focused on the two Premier League popular managers, trying to understand what they were talking about.

Both kept smiling, but the conversation was a little out of tune, and Kevin Keegan was bewildered by Aldrich's question.

"Have you eaten?"

"Huh?"

"Have you eaten lunch?"

"Eaten, uh, what about you?"

"I've eaten it too, so I'll see you later."

"Wait, I'm going to say I didn't eat it?"

"Then go eat it!"

Aldrich's greeting left Kevin Keegan stunned for a long time.

He also specifically asked the assistant next to him, repeated the conversation, and tried to ask the assistant to help him analyze what kind of language tricks Aldrich was playing, and whether there would be any sarcastic jokes in it.

"Hello everyone, I'm Martin Taylor, and today Andy Gray and I will talk about the highlight of this round of the Premier League, with Millwall, who are unbeaten in 17 games this season, taking on league leaders Newcastle United. Andy, Hall took the initiative to chat with Keegan just now, and from the expressions of the two managers, it seems that their relationship has eased a lot, what do you think? ”

"Hehehe, I don't think so, maybe both of them wish that the other party was sick today and couldn't come to direct the game. Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides, Millwall is at home, they sent out a strange starting line-up I don't know how to define Hall's line-up, it seems to be 442, but Ballack obviously won't play on the wing, puzzling formation. ”

"Oh, Aldridge doesn't play according to common sense, let's analyze it slowly after the game starts, Newcastle United's starting lineup today is relatively neat, goalkeeper: Pavel Srnisek, defenders: Steve Watson, Warren Barton, Felipe Albert, John Berrysford, midfielders: Peter Beardsley, Robert Lee, Lee Clark, Keith Gillespie, David Ginola, forward: Les Ferdinand. Newcastle United suffered a shortage of strikers, Keegan can only trust Ferdinand, plus today's visit, Millwall is the home dragon, so, Keegan lined up a 4141 formation, see if Newcastle United, which has more offensive firepower in the league today, can end Millwall's unbeaten golden body. ”

After the start of the game, Millwall did not show the momentum of the past home game, but played very conservatively, the defenders did not come forward to assist, and the midfield set up a three-man defense, Ballack Vieira Gattuso, the three of them in the midfield to protect the back line impenetrable.

Kevin Keegan saw Millwall's stance, then turned his head to look at Aldridge who was standing on the sidelines with one hand in his pocket, and said to himself: Boy, do you want a draw?

That's right, you can draw Newcastle United, it's worth showing off!

We were beaten twice in the cup last season.

Newcastle United embarked on their flashy attacking display.

Aldridge sometimes envies coaches whose stars have turned coaches, because the glory of their playing days has made them attract many players.

For example, Robert Lee on the field, this player was born in London, but he admired Keegan very much, so he went to Newcastle United, and now he is built by Keegan on the field as a defensive stalwart, and he has also been excellent in assists.

And in front of him, there is a flashy offensive line.

Ginola, who became an Italian sinner after a World Cup mistake in '94, has been a brilliant performer on the left flank for months, and the camera is used to scoring with his team-mates scoring when he completes a passing cross, then turns around and nods in confidence and smiles narcissistically, he is the undoubted star of the pitch and a sharp wing knife in Newcastle United's attack.

On the other side of the spectrum, Keegan knocked Manchester United out of a fortune through the transfer of Andy Cole, and also brought a talented player from Manchester United's class of 92 to the Magpies, and Keith Gillespie is also creative on the wing, can assist and score.

Needless to say, Beardsley, once the pride of the Reds, set a record for the transfer value of English football, scored a hat-trick in the English derby five years ago, and in the next five years, no Reds big man has been able to penetrate the door of Manchester United three times in one game, he is Dalglish's favorite player, and he has become the second leading scorer in Newcastle United's squad after a striker, he scored 21 league goals last season, even though he is 34 years old.

Although Lee Clarke is not a star, he was born in the Newcastle academy and has a unique advantage in the integration of the tactical system, and often plays at a super level.

Les Ferdinand at the top of the list still has some connections with Millwall, Aldridge was present when he negotiated the recruitment of Leo Ferdinand, Rice was present, he is Leo's uncle, and now Rice is England's hot top center forward, he subverts the traditional English center forward The impression of being tall and clumsy, his skills at his feet are delicate compared to the previous year, he can dribble quickly and cut quickly, he has a keen sense of smell in the penalty area, and the threat is obvious.

The most gorgeous thing about Kevin Keegan's attacking lineup is that the midfielders with the attributes of the forward midfielders can form crazy positions with the wingers, and the game is played with plum blossoms and bamboo is good-looking.

No, after Beardsley and Gillespie completed the switch, they came to the wing to cross the bottom, Zambrotta reacted a step slowly and was shaken over, but fortunately, Elgra, who was dragging the defense in the middle, was prepared and cleared the ball with a header by Ferdinand.

The ball just went out of the ground, and was rushed up by Li Ding to the left side, Ginola began to go down quickly after the ball, the part-time model of the Italian handsome guy is very chic to pass Thuram, but unfortunately he found the wrong object, Thuram does not play with him foot skills, directly stuck in the position, let you play under your feet, he will drop ten will!

Ginola was knocked off the touchline and the ball was left at Thuram's feet.

Keegan jumped up and shouted for a foul, but referee Dugin ignored it.

Thuram cleared the ball with a big foot, Millwall's attack was not pressed up, and was pressed back, and Newcastle United's offensive wave after wave, but it just couldn't form an effective threat.

Beardsley and Clarke made a fuss in the middle, Gillespie found space to cut inside, the ball just passed through the gap, Gillespie didn't receive the ball because it was cut off halfway, Southgate's interception made the Magpies feel overwhelmed.

Their flashy attack was like an egg hitting a stone, there was no room for positional warfare, and Millwall's defense was airtight, and if he hit the ball over the top, he would be cleared by the unfamiliar Spanish centre-back Elgra, and he would penetrate with a short pass, and Southgate would be the first to stop.

Slowly, the narrators saw the doorway.

Martin Taylor was dumbfounded, and he exclaimed into the microphone after repeatedly confirming Millwall's formation and defensive characteristics.

"Chain Defense! Millwall have replicated Italy's most popular chain defense in the Premier League! The live broadcast camera should give a full-time view, then it will be very clear to all viewers Millwall's tactical formation, Ballack Vieira Gattuso is a line of defense before the backline, they will slow down the opponent's offensive tempo and form a joint defense, even if Newcastle United penetrates this line of defense through the pass, but in front of the penalty area will be intercepted by central defender Southgate, and behind the most sloppy defense, Spaniard Elgra plays a central defender to add a layer of protection to the defense! Chain defense relies not only on individual ability, but also on teamwork, but Millwall did not give Newcastle United any chance in the first 20 minutes of the game, and the opponent did not have a shot on goal! Aldrich, how much more skills do you have that you haven't come up with?! ”

'Martin, Millwall are doing a good job defensively, but so what? Millwall also didn't have a shot on target. ”

"No, no, no, the opportunity hasn't appeared yet, when Newcastle United's attack can't go in, Keegan will definitely strengthen the attack, he will, in turn, Millwall will have a lot of space to counterattack, let's wait and see, I believe Aldridge can use this tactic, definitely for the sake of victory, he is really a calm manager!"

Aldridge stood on the sidelines, watching the team's defense become more and more handy, and the corners of his mouth slowly outlined a light smile.

Because Millwall's defensive base in training is teamwork pressing, it won't be too much of a hindrance to play chain defense on this basis.

Chain defense is based on the team's tactical defense, which is the core, and by no means relying on individual ability to resolve the opponent's offense one-on-one, despite the outstanding individual defensive performance, but this is a team's defensive mode in play, a typical example is the 06 World Cup champion member Cannavaro, his team defensive awareness can be described as the world's world, and his performance in the Italian team is unparalleled, but he went to Real Madrid and performed badly, that is, his weaknesses were magnified to the limit, Real Madrid's defense at the time was devoid of any tactics, and like too many La Liga teams, the defense was a rush to grab or wait one-on-one to be broken through by La Liga teams who were good at possession.

After a week of training and drills, Aldridge's instructions to the players were simple: the full-backs did not assist, Southgate marked and intercepted, Elgra dragged down and disrupted the attack, and Ballack-Vieira Gattuso formed the second line of defence in front of the back line, and the layers were tightly linked to the iron chain.

No matter how gorgeous Newcastle United's attack is, there is no room to attack, Aldridge will see if the Magpies can make the ball grow wings and fly into the gate!
