Old Trafford.

Manchester United's game against Millwall was played in the 85th minute of the game, and the scoreboard was still 0-1, with the away side relying on a goal from Josh Simpson in the first half to maintain their lead.

At this point in the game, many could tell that Manchester United's forward line was weak.

In the previous ten rounds of the league, Manchester United has not shown the problem of the striker, perhaps also the overall attacking ability, which has covered up the lack of strength of the forward line, making many people ignore the problems of the forward.

Now against Millwall, United's forward problems are on the bright side.

Many Manchester United people are chilling.

It's just a league game against Millwall, it's acceptable to lose, three points is not absolute, and then Manchester United still have a chance to come back, but the game could have a huge impact.

After this game, all Premier League teams will know about Manchester United's forward problems.

Those ordinary small clubs are nothing, Manchester United's forward weakness is also relative, it is still easy to play weak teams, and it is difficult for them to do anything, but like teams of equal strength, such as Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams, after knowing Manchester United's forward situation, it will definitely be easier to defend, just referring to Millwall's model, it is already quite threatening.

How will Manchester United behave then?

The thought has worried many Manchester United supporters, and the imminent loss of the game seems to be a big deal.

Many people are also faintly dissatisfied with the club's decision to sell Vanney, if it weren't for Vanney leaving for Real Madrid, Manchester United would not have reached the point where the forward line is weak, and with Vanney's forward line is not inferior to any other team, and without Vanney's now, Rooney can't pick it up alone, and the forward line is a big problem.

Fortunately, Manchester United still has C-Ronaldo!

Many people feel lucky.

Before the end of the league last season, C-Ronaldo was revealed to have conflicts with Rooney, and under the rendering of the media, it seems that he can't get along in the Premier League, and many media rumors that C-Ronaldo may leave Manchester United and go to other leagues to find the next owner, but in the end C-Ronaldo still stayed at Manchester United, and the club gave him a blockbuster new contract.

Now Cristiano Ronaldo is almost single-handedly supporting Manchester United's attacking frontcourt, shining all over the field in every game, which also makes Manchester United supporters feel a little comforted.

That's all.

No matter how good Cristiano Ronaldo is, he is just a player, and it is naturally impossible for him to use the last time to save Manchester United from failure.

In the final moment, Manchester United started to attack frantically, but still failed to break through the Millwall goal.

At the end of the game, the score remained 0-1 as Millwall beat Manchester United away to win the 11th round of the league.

The game is over.

Manchester United players all bowed their heads and left the stadium in a dull mood, they could not accept the fact of losing the game, especially when they saw the Millwall bench, Braniff's arrogant face, which made the Manchester United players grit their teeth with hatred, and the head coach Ferguson also stood up, looked at the players who left one by one, recalled the whole game, and once again made up his mind to improve the striker.

It was a big decision.

Alex Ferguson has the transfer power of the club, but the club's finances are not in their hands, and the Glazer family has been scarred by the Glazer family's takeover of Manchester United, and they need to work hard to pay off their high loans.

This is also the reason why Manchester United only bought one Carrick in the summer transfer.

Carrick is a high-priced player, and the average club doesn't have that much money to buy this kind of heavyweight star, but you must know that Manchester United also sold Ruud van Nistelrooy, plus some players in the youth team left, Manchester United's net transfer expenditure is less than five million euros, compared to Manchester United's previous transfer strategy, millions of euros of investment, is definitely pitiful.

Manchester United's finances are still not very good, and if they want to improve their forward line, they must buy a strong star, and the minimum cost is estimated to be more than 10 million euros.

A striker of tens of millions of euros?

A star of similar value, swept through his mind, and finally Ferguson shook his head, the introduction of players in the winter transfer, the luck component is very large, the number of strikers worth tens of millions of euros is very limited, the general team will not put the striker with good performance into the transfer market in the middle of the season, so what can be bought can only be a star with poor performance, a player does not perform well in the original team, and what is the possibility that Manchester United will perform well?

Ferguson stood up and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he happened to see Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang walked to the front of the players' tunnel, facing the center of the field, and he smiled at Ferguson, which seemed to others to be a friendly smile, but in Ferguson's opinion, it definitely meant to fall into the ground.

Ferguson hated itchy, snorted coldly and walked over, and when he got closer, Mr. Sir changed his attitude, he showed a warm smile on his face, took the initiative to shake hands with Zhang Yang and said, "Your performance is really good, very surprised." I didn't expect it at all! ”

Mr. Jazz lamented Millwall's excellence, which also made Zhang Yang a little confused.

Will this old man praise Millwall?

Impossible!

"There must be a fraud!" Zhang Yang thought in his heart, his face was not clear, but he praised Manchester United in response, "Manchester United is also very good, especially on the right side, Cristiano Ronaldo, he will definitely become a world superstar in the future." ”

Ferguson didn't seem to want to talk too much about C-Ronaldo, instead jumping straight to the Millwall lineup, "Your two strikers are great. Jamie Vardy, Bent, as far as I can tell, dominate the league scorers' charts. But I've found that Jamie Vardy is no worse than Bent and I've found that your normal tactics are to only play one striker. Are you going to play the main team with Bente, or Jamie Vardy? ”

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He felt that this old man had a very bad temper, and he would not be kind enough to praise Millwall, and he talked to himself so kindly, which was really not good!

Zhang Yang smiled, "It's all the main force." We're fighting on three fronts, the league, the Champions League, the cups, and in January, there's the FA Cup, and neither of them will be short of appearances. ”

"Not necessarily next season." "Of course, I'm not talking about your results. Any player will fight for a place in the main team, and by next season I believe Jamie Vardy will become more mature, and he will certainly not be willing to settle for the main position. ”

'It's like Manchester United, why are we selling Ruud van Nistelrooy? Because Wayne has grown up, there are other great youngsters on the team. You've been coaching for too little time and haven't had this problem. But I think soon, you should have thought about it sooner. ”

Zhang Yang pulled the corners of his mouth, feeling that the old man in front of him seemed to be deceiving himself as a child, but he didn't plan to continue, but turned around and left, leaving a sentence, "Maybe." ”

"But even if we have to sell a player, like Manchester United, we don't sell it to a competitor!"

When Zhang Yang spoke, he had already taken two steps, but suddenly stopped and said with a smile, "Of course, if you make an exchange, it's another matter, when Manchester United will consider selling Ronaldo to Millwall, I will also consider doing some transfer cooperation with Manchester United." ”

“……”

Ferguson looked at the departing back, standing alone on the grass, the muscles at the corners of his mouth were pulled, the smile on his face turned serious and annoyed, he knew that he was being tricked by the other party.

————

In the post-match press conference, Ferguson refused to attend, citing physical discomfort.

Journalists in the media all know that Ferguson is in a bad mood, Manchester United lost the pre-match war of words, also lost the home game, and the game also exposed the defects of the weak striker, which is equivalent to a triple blow.

Ferguson is probably worried about the attack, right?

Zhang Yang smiled and talked about the game in an official tone, talked about Millwall's excellent performance, and praised Manchester United's performance, just listening to the tone and content, I thought he had a good relationship with Manchester United, but in fact, everyone knew that Zhang Yang and Ferguson had a bad relationship, and Millwall and Manchester United were also on the same page.

It doesn't matter so much.

Even though they are direct competitors to Manchester United, Millwall have already won games, won big games before and after the game, there is no need to fall into the trap and use words to sarcastically say anything, the only result of that is to create news material for the media, which means nothing to the team and to him.

With a win over Manchester United, Millwall secured a place at the top of the table, with a point separating the two teams from one point to four.

Manchester United remain second in the league but are already level on points with Chelsea, with a goal difference at the top of the table.

If you look at the top three and the numbers of points, you can see how fierce the race for the top spot of the league is, and it is absolutely remarkable that Millwall can secure the top spot by beating Manchester United in such a fierce situation.

In addition to the top three in the league, the competition for fourth to eighth is much more fierce, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Bolton, Everton are all in this range, the difference between Arsenal in fourth place and Bolton in eighth place is only five points, while the difference between Arsenal and Manchester United and Chelsea is four.

From the standings, it can be analyzed that the league competition has become much fiercer than last season.

This is also similar to what the media expected.

Millwall can be said to have stepped on the corpses of one opponent after another, and even Manchester United has become a corpse under his feet, which also makes Manchester United supporters feel very unhappy, but there is no way, Millwall is Manchester United defeated at Old Trafford, Manchester United lost the game at home, and the next meeting will be at Neil Stadium, Manchester United will find it more difficult to get back face.
