Aldridge wasn't worried about conceding the first goal at home, and conceding less than a minute into the game, and perhaps he was in the same mood as the Lions fans in the stands at the moment.

Millwall's offensive firepower is strong, and there is no need to worry about running out of goals!

Aldridge's confidence comes from United's tactical set-up today, and once the back three is counter-attacked, Millwall's creative power will be easier to dominate the game.

However, it was probably the opening goal conceded and the pressure of a winning streak that caught Aldridge off guard.

Conceding a goal at the beginning, the players' morale on the field naturally did not decline, they could not be discouraged so easily, but in order to avoid conceding further goals, the players paid more attention to defense in the process of self-adjustment, and the frontcourt players participated more in the defense, which led to a clear problem: when counterattacking, the attacking players started too far behind.

Basically, it starts from the second half, after Manchester United is counterattacked, the frontcourt players take tactical fouls, the midfielders, especially Keane, don't care about anything and run to the backfield back position, as long as he returns to the position before Millwall's attack advances to the back line, then Johnson's position immediately retreats, Keane continues to act as a midfielder, Johnson and Stam form a double central defender, and Manchester United becomes a four-back system to defend frontally.

This tactic of flexibly switching defensive systems is commonplace, for example, when Millwall's full-backs assist up, the back line naturally becomes a three, and when the opponent plays a counterattack, they either quickly counter-attack and intercept, or slow down the opponent's tempo, giving players time to return to position. Set up a tight defensive formation.

Breaking such tactics is nothing more than fast. Three passes and two downs are advancing rapidly. Crush the opponent when the opponent briefly exposes the emptiness of the defensive line.

However, Millwall's attacking players started too far behind, and Manchester United's whole team was very tactically disciplined, and the midfielders could fight to grab, especially not rampage, so that Millwall's counterattack often turned into a positional battle, and the defensive gap caused by the time difference between Keane's assist and the return to the defensive position was not seized.

In the tenth minute of the game, Aldridge was ready to make some adjustments with a gesture. Something happened on the field.

Keane, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs pressed in front of goal in a joint attack, and Beckham crossed from a 45-degree angle on the right flank.

The trio rushed to the front of goal and pressed the back line, Schneider followed Giggs, but Scholes and Keane were targeted by Gattuso, Nedved, Southgate and Materazzi.

Aldrich's eyes changed slightly.

As David Beckham prepared to cross with his feet, United's attacking line underwent an unexpected change for him.

York and Cole. Where did the Black Wind duo go?

The two strikers ran in opposite positions to the midfield line, and the midfield line pressed into the box. The two strikers withdrew.

In the midst of this, Gattuso and Nedved were immediately attracted by the midfielders who stepped forward into the box, but Beckham's cross landed in front of goal!

When Nedved and Gattuso saw the trajectory of the ball, it dawned on them, and the two rushed out to block York and Cole, but it was too late.

York leaned on Pirlo's header to Cole easily, Cole took the ball head-on, Gattuso was rushing up, he changed direction and dribbled into the penalty area, Gattuso couldn't brake and was passed directly.

Cole shot low after shaking the angle, Bout flew to save and blocked the ball with one palm, but Cole didn't have a force on this shot, Bout successfully blocked the save, and the ball was still in the penalty area, Scholes met the ball next to Materazzi and pushed the ball firmly into the center of the goal.

"In the first 10 minutes, the visiting Manchester United scored another goal! Millwall, who have won 16 consecutive league games in the new season, got off to a terrible start! Paul Scholes continued his excellent form of the year and his goal gave United hope of beating an invincible side, and if the Reds win away today, it would be their first away win over Millwall in the Premier League! ”

Ferguson was thrilled to see the goal, almost exactly as he did when he led Manchester United to Bayern Munich.

The Lions fans in the stands were stunned.

Ten minutes to two goals down, what kind of rhythm is this?

Aldrich still had his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.

From the bottom of his heart, he was full of praise for Manchester United's goal, and it would not be surprising if the forward line was covering the midfield line.

However, Ferguson made a dangerous move, actually letting the midfield line cover the forward line, and the deep alternating runs caused confusion in Millwall's defense in a short period of time.

This is also thanks to Manchester United's attack, if it can't be played, turn around, Manchester United's entire midfield defense is empty, except for tactical fouls, there is no other choice.

Jurgen Klinsmann came up and asked Aldridge if he wanted to change his tactics, now that he was two goals down and Millwall were too far back in the attack, the speed advantage was reduced.

Aldridge shook his head, he noticed a change in the expressions of Millwall's players.

This lion, who he trained single-handedly, may have a little idea of gaining and losing when he conceded the first goal, and if he has enough time and defends well, he will definitely be able to score.

But when they conceded the second goal, they weren't crushed, they didn't look depressed, the players were silent among themselves, but they didn't blame each other or dwell on what was going on with the goal.

Now, the players are more like they are enraged!

Aldridge wanted to make adjustments before, but after conceding the second goal, he chose not to move.

With an elusive glint in his treacherous eyes, Aldridge glanced at the United men celebrating near the corner flag.

With a two-goal lead, what do you do?

A ball is not safe, and the whole world knows it.

The two goals are completely different, there is a way out on the psychological level, lose one and lead the other, as long as you don't lose two, the victory falls into the bag.

Aldridge did not believe United could have predicted a two-goal lead in 10 minutes before the game, and they were desperate to win, but Millwall's sharp attack could not be ignored.

0:1

The pressure is on Millwall's side.

0:2

Millwall was thoroughly enraged. Manchester United have two goals in hand. Will there be a decrease in offensive intensity? Defending and counter-attacking should be the most suitable option, right?

'Millwall are two goals down. What was Hall thinking when he stood on the sidelines, his expression did not change, he was neither annoyed by the two mistakes made by the defense in a short period of time, nor did he try to encourage the players? ”

'It's always Hall's style to make adjustments as soon as the situation changes, but with almost 80 minutes to play, it's understandable that he's not in a hurry to make changes now.

When the game resumed, the Millwall men, who had scored two goals, had become extremely solemn and took control of the situation. In particular, they have a strong grip on the midfield advantage, which is partly due to the fact that Manchester United have begun to strengthen their defense and stand on the counter-attack.

Aldridge raised an eyebrow, and sure enough, the whole United team automatically entered the rhythm of holding on to the win.

Ferguson watched the game for about 10 minutes after the second goal when he suddenly got up from the dugout and rushed to the sidelines to rant at the United players.

"Who the let you take it back! Attack me! Offensive! ”

When United began to defend, the midfield was completely dominated by Millwall. Under the tactics of high-pressure pressing, Millwall's offensive was wave after wave. Just ten seconds after Ferguson rushed to the sideline, the pitch changed again.

Larsson cut inside on the right flank, but Silvestre didn't dare to rush forward, and before he could get to Giggs for Larsson, Larsson distributed the ball to Nedved, who moved over to pick up the run.

The Czech's heel knock action was the moment he touched the ball, and he ran towards the goal without looking.

He and Henry crossed positions at the moment, Henry pulled back, Nedved stepped forward, and Nedved's heel back ball unsurprisingly landed at Pirlo's feet.

Stam watched Nedved rush towards the goal, just as he wanted!

He could already guess Millwall's attacking routine.

Henry's run out of the cover to cover Nedved forward, so that in order to disrupt the concentration of the defenders and the tight defence, Stam will not be fooled, he is fully focused, just waiting for Pirlo to pass the ball to Nedved, at that time, he can stifle Millwall's attack.

Pirlo handled the ball without any delay, and before Scholes touched his shirt, Pirlo passed forward with just the right amount of force and a boccia ball.

Stam was slightly surprised when he saw the passing route, and the ball was actually for Henry.

Henry had his back to the goal, and Johnson had posted it behind him, and if he had turned around with the ball and handed it to Nedved, it would have been a mediocre effect at this point in time.

Facing the ball rolling towards him, Henry looked back at Johnson's position and suddenly turned and ran towards Johnson's left.

Johnson subconsciously moved to the left, blocking Henry's route.

But as soon as he took a step, Johnson was shocked.

Henry was indeed right in front of him, but there was no ball at Henry's feet!

Thierry Henry opted for a missed ball.

On Johnson's right-hand side, the ball rolled slowly past him, and a figure strode into the penalty area, touching the ball on his toes and breaking through the United defence.

Ronaldinho!

Run inside, get into the penalty area to get the ball, go forward, and shoot into the far corner of the goal!

Within two seconds, Xiao Luo completed this series of actions smoothly and naturally, from touching the ball to completing the shot, in one go!

Van der Goo couldn't be blamed for not getting his hands on the ball, he didn't get past the near corner.

The stands erupted in earth-shattering cheers from the stands at the Lion's Den Stadium.

Under this hustle and bustle, Xiao Luo ran into the goal with an indifferent expression, picked up the ball in his arms and ran to the backfield, and Nedved patted his head on the way.

"In the 23rd minute of the game, Millwall pulled a goal back, the scorer was Ronaldinho, the Brazilian boy has nothing to say about the ball, there is no doubt that in the Millwall lineup, he is the person who controls the ball and threatens the most!"

Aldridge closed his eyes and nodded, satisfied with his team's goal.

It also proved that he didn't make the right decision to adjust when he was two goals down.

He turned his head to look at Ferguson, whose face was blue and almost angry.

Hehe, Millwall repaid the rules with others, and it was a frontal attack that tore apart Manchester United's defense step by step.

Want to keep?

You can go as long as you like and see the results in 90 minutes.

In a rare move, Ferguson fired at his disciples from the sidelines.

United's performance in the last 10 minutes was the source of his anger.

It's not that the players don't work hard, it's that it's definitely not the gesture that Ferguson asked the players to do before the game.

It's not Manchester United's style, and they don't have a bus.

Defensive counterattack, in terms of this style of play alone, Manchester United may not be as handy as Arsenal, but Arsenal played defensive counterattack, and was beaten by Millwall? 5, no way to fight back.

If the defensive counter-attack can take away the win, it will not be Manchester United's turn to face Millwall, who won 16 consecutive league games last season. (To be continued......)
