Newcastle United, who were two goals behind at home, began to fight back strongly, and the backfield players rushed forward, and the menacing appearance frightened Millwall a little.

Their efforts paid off in the 84th minute when Ginola played a solo pass in front of goal and Newcastle United headed it into the back of the net with a header relay.

Bout was a little unwilling, he blocked the near post, but Clarke, who cut in to grab the front post, pushed the ball towards the back post, it is difficult to say that he did it on purpose, maybe the header was not on target, anyway, Ferdinand at the back post laughed at the assist.

"1:2, 1:2, with almost ten minutes left in injury time, will Newcastle United pull off a miracle? Will it? As long as they can equalise, even if United win, they are still one point ahead of Manchester United! ”

I have to say that this season's Premier League championship has come to its worst, and it is really exciting for the commentators to be able to stage such a plot.

Either way, the Premier League title race will certainly be able to continue into the final round, as it was in last year's script.

Aldridge sat in his seat with his chin held after conceding the ball, and when the players looked at him, he just made a gesture of pressing down, telling the players not to panic and play normally.

Besides, what a fart!

Leading the way is us.

Regardless of the result, the league title basically has nothing to do with us.

What if this one wins?

Do you hope that Manchester United and Newcastle United will not win the last game?

Stop stressing yourself out.

Just play as a normal game.

Keegan yelled excitedly at the players on the field, waving his arms and telling them to hurry back and set up for kickoff.

In any case, he is going to fight for a draw and come back.

Newcastle United did the same. The onslaught continued. Millwall's players are also familiar with the rhythm of their wolf-pack pounces after conceding the ball. The players were quick to be flexible, consciously lobbing the ball directly into the back half of the opposition when the midfield cleared the ball.

In the 88th minute of the game, Gattuso cleared the ball with a kick, the ball fell into the right side of the front, and the unmarked Shevchenko started quickly and was like lightning.

After getting the ball, he started the long run, and Newcastle United didn't even have a defender!

The opposing goalkeeper attacked, and Shevchenko was not greedy. Passed the ball to the middle, and then inserted the young player Van Nistelrooy who ran up and went straight to the empty goal, slowed down after entering the penalty area and gently pushed with the arch of his foot, and the ball slowly rolled into the goal.

St James' Park was silent.

Vanney ran over excitedly and hugged Shevchenko.

It was his first Premier League goal and he couldn't help but be excited.

The selfless Shevchenko also had a bright spot in this game, and his achievements with one pass and one shot were enough to prove his quality.

Keegan stood there as if struck by lightning, and just stood like that, without saying a word, until the end of the game.

Newcastle United players leave the pitch in frustration.

Aldridge politely walked over to shake Keegan's hand, the last time they met in the league. Aldridge also said in front of the other party that he wished the other party the league championship.

But today, he took the leader down with a knife in his hand.

Newcastle United have been at the top of the table since the second round of the league. In the penultimate round of the league, they were overtaken by Manchester United with the same number of points, but United had a better goal difference.

The psychological gap was too much for Keegan to bear, with the Newcastle United coaching staff staring nervously at Keegan as he stood still.

Aldridge was a little sorry when he saw him like this.

Even though Millwall was beaten twice by Newcastle United in the cup last season, Keegan said something that provoked a conflict between the two, but Aldridge felt that there was no need for the two to have a stiff relationship, and it was not an irreconcilable hatred.

In this season's Millwall League Plus Cup, the three defeats against Newcastle United can be regarded as revenge for last season, but this revenge seems to be too ruthless, directly kicking away the league lead that the opponent has maintained for most of the year, and maybe he will watch Ferguson, who humiliated him for a few months, lead Manchester United to the top.

Aldrich, who was about to shake hands, suddenly stopped, sighed and turned away, but he didn't take two steps before he was grabbed by the arm.

He looked back and found Keegan staring at him with a serious face, Aldridge was afraid that the other party would be hit too hard, and he couldn't afford to lose at the moment, so he asked vigilantly: "Is there something?" ”

"Find a place where no one is around."

Aldridge stared at him without saying anything.

Keegan hurriedly let go of his hand and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I won't beat you." ”

Aldrich laughed and said: "I'm afraid that you will hang up the lottery when you make a move, and others will scold me for not knowing how to respect the old and love the young." ”

Keegan was not interested in joking and invited Aldrich directly to his office.

Unlike Aldridge and other well-connected coaches who got together after the game to forget about the game and talk and laugh, Kevin Keegan hurriedly poured Aldridge a glass of wine, then sat down in front of him and asked seriously: "Aldrich, do you hate me?" ”

Aldrich shrugged, "I don't hate it, I don't like it." ”

"For what?"

"Because I don't have a grudge against you, sometimes it's normal to quarrel, anyway, I don't think I'm careful. The reason for not liking is very simple, I haven't seen you play, although you are famous, but I don't worship you, I watched football when I was a child, I admired Maradona, and secondly, as a manager, I don't think you have anything worthy of my worship. ”

Keegan frowned and lowered his head when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something.

What's more interesting is that after he retired, he spent eight years at home, living a comfortable life, fishing and raising flowers, and occasionally traveling, he was much richer than many of his contemporaries, because when he joined Newcastle United at the end of his career, Newcastle United was so poor that they couldn't afford to pay him a high salary, so Keegan added a clause to his contract: if the home attendance exceeded 5,000, I would share the ticket revenue.

Attendance at St James' Park was dismal at the time, and Keegan's conditions were accepted by Newcastle United. And then. With his popularity. He made a lot of money.

Aldridge had eight years before he took charge, but he spent eight years studying.

Keegan wants to be famous, rich and rich, and the head coach is not a special figure like Aldridge, Keegan's total assets should be in the top ten in the world.

Therefore, his pursuit is very simple, that is, coaching achievements.

Coaching the Magpies for many years. Keegan has lost to Manchester United many times, but he doesn't think Ferguson is anything great, Manchester United has many stars and strength, and if he loses to Manchester United, the outside world will not think that Newcastle United has anything to complain about, that is, his skills are not as good as others.

Even if Manchester United, which has let go of many main players and zero investment in the transfer market this season, there are still Schmeichel, Cantona, and Keane in the team. Palister, Erwin and other veterans are in charge. Saying that Manchester United is renewed, in fact, it is only the five little tigers who have begun to take the lead, and among them, in addition to Beckham and Phil Neville are in their first Premier League season, others such as Ryan Giggs, Scholes, Gary Neville, and Bart have appeared in the first team in the past two seasons.

Therefore, compared to the loss to Manchester United, Keegan may still feel a little unconvinced.

But Aldridge beat Newcastle United twice in the league, the first time in a semi-main lineup, and the second time, that is, today, it was a full bench lineup.

He lost convincingly, after all, he lost 1:3 at home, what reason could he find to comfort himself?

"Aldrich, can you be honest with me?"

"Why am I going to lie to you?"

"Don't you want to trick me and make a fool of me?"

"That's your villain's heart."

"Well, what do you think are wrong with Newcastle United?"

"Defense."

Keegan let out a long sigh and said in distress: "Everyone is saying that Newcastle United have a problem defensively, but what is the problem? No one can tell. It's as if everyone scolds you, but they can't tell the reason for scolding you. ”

Aldridge touched the wine glass and said casually: "Because there is no universal defensive system that can be applied to all teams, we must formulate defensive strategies according to the characteristics of the players, learn from each other's strengths, and make up for each other's weaknesses. Where are the areas most likely to concede goals? What will be the focus of the opponent's attack? It's something that needs to be studied, you can't polish the team training today and start sitting back and letting the players play the next day. ”

Keegan was dumbfounded, he was definitely not a coach from the academy, so he immediately asked, "You are so young and you have never played football, where did you learn this?" ”

Aldridge raised his eyebrows and laughed at himself: "I was blind at the beginning, studying the game video, marking each player with a code name in the notebook, and then studying the running trajectory of the players by watching the video repeatedly, to see how the defensive players fit together, and then I went to a lot of coaching academies, especially Italy, where you can meet a lot of crazy people, they can tell you about countless changes in defense and how to deal with them, but it's all on paper, and it doesn't make sense to simply discuss tactics, Because there are always high and low players, and the characteristics are different. ”

Keegan nodded with a look of understanding, as if he had figured out Aldridge's hole cards, and then he asked: "Then you study the opponent, that is, my team, where do you think the defensive weaknesses are?" ”

"Where? The defense is full of holes, and there is little place for reliability. ”

Aldridge said casually, Keegan was a little upset, tore a piece of paper from the desk, took a pen to Aldrich, and said, "You write to me." ”

Aldridge sighed softly and wrote five numbers on the paper, with four defenders and one midfielder.

"That's Newcastle United's backfield configuration for this game, right?"

Keegan nodded.

Aldridge said as he wrote: "Playing on the wing, not considering one-on-one breakthroughs, my wingers and full-backs come up as two-on-one, and your side is a hole." Who do you defend against at full-back? Defend my full-backs, my wingers are liberated, and when you stare at the wingers, my full-backs will go down to the bottom and cross without interference, which requires your defenders to turn around, and my striker is directly hitting the goal and is head-on, obviously dominant. Playing in the middle, my midfielder and your midfielder are in the right position, but what about my playmaking midfielder? Do you want to defend the width of the course at sixty or seventy yards with a single midfield? My strikers can drop back, the wingers cut inside, back and forth, disrupting your defenders' defenses"

Aldridge's arrows on paper simply turned Newcastle United's backline into a hornet's nest.

Keegan held his hand and wondered, "Why are you always crowded?" Playing on the wing, you play two against one, play in the middle, you still play two against one, even if you play directly against my backline, you become a three-striker again. Are all my people dead? ”

Aldridge sneered and said: "You can go back and watch the video repeatedly, to see if your person is dead, Kevin, my team is stronger than yours, this is not me showing off, but the fact, the strength of the player's ability is not only the technical ability, physical fitness is also a very important aspect, there is no statistics on the running distance of the player's game, if so, I can tell you that the average running distance of my players will be at least 30% higher than your player, with the advantage of playing more and less." ”

Keegan didn't want to believe it, but he reflected on the game and was frustrated to agree with Aldridge's statement.

Keegan, 45, and Aldrich, who will be 20 next month, chatted for more than two hours (to be continued......
