Chapter 326

"Nobody likes us, but we don't care at all."

This lyric is the most classic of the Blue Lions Millwall anthem, and it is also the one that best represents the temperament, characteristics and style of this English team.

It speaks clearly to Millwall's rebelliousness and bluntly illustrates the team's unpleasantness.

In fact, from a team run standpoint alone, Millwall have undoubtedly been successful. It may not have a large number of fans, but it is definitely one of the most die-hard fans in world football.

It's a pity that whether it is Millwall, who has a rough style of play and can be called a barbarian, or Millwall fans, who are famous for their football hooligan image, they are absolutely excluded "outliers" and "barbarians" who are not liked in English football.

This image has reached its pinnacle in Millwall, coached by former Wimbledon legend Danny Wise, and can be compared to the classic mad gang that dared to spit on the famous "this is Anfield" sign at Anfield in the last century, and shoveled Liverpool players dare not take the ball in the game.

Coincidentally, the big brother and spiritual leader of the Wimbledon team at that time happened to be Wise, who is now the head coach of Millwall. From this point of view, the classic madness of the last century can be regarded as the same as Millwall, who made team history and reached the FA Cup final this season.

This Millwall team embodies the classic Danny Wise style from top to bottom.

It's very simple, brutal defending, waiting for opportunities to counter-attack the game tactics are almost constant, and there is no need for any pre-match speculation by the opposing manager.

But at the same time, it's very difficult to beat and is definitely a tough nut for any opponent.

However, the reason why this is the case is not because of how strong it is. As a member of the second tier of English in League One, Millwall's strength is by no means predictable, but its brutal style on the pitch is enough to give any opponent a headache, and they have to worry about the feet of their players at all times, for fear of accidents.

It can be said that the more stars there are, the more headaches the stronger teams will have to run into Millwall. Whether they can win the game is not a question they are worried about, but whether their own stars worth tens of millions can walk off the court vertically after the game.

And this is a big problem that Ferguson was worried about before the game.

In his mind, although the FA Cup final has not yet begun, the final trophy has already been booked by him and his Manchester United. Although Manchester United are at a low point in recent years, there is absolutely no problem in winning a League One team.

His only concern is the safety of his players. You must know that in the Manchester United team, in addition to Li Lei and Ronaldo, two young people who are beginning to emerge, the rest such as Keane, Giggs and Scholes are already veterans.

If there is another major injury, it will have a big impact on their future career. They are no longer sturdy young people, and after a major injury, not to mention whether they can recover, even if they can recover their strength and condition, it is very difficult to return to the best state.

In world football, there are not a few veterans who have been obscure because of a major injury. And in Ferguson's plan to rebuild the Red Devils, these veterans are still an indispensable and important structure, and they cannot be missing.

Therefore, just because of this, it is enough to make the old lord worried.

But worry is worry, if the old coach is allowed to make reservations in the FA Cup final because of this, he will not be able to do it. It's not the Red Devils' style, and it's not his Ferguson style! When has he and Manchester United taken the initiative to back down because of the roughness of their opponents, never!

Therefore, in order to get the best of both worlds, win the championship trophy without being injured, Ferguson repeatedly reminded the players to pay attention to the movements of Millwall's players before the game, and to stay calm and not be teased by the opponent, and the strong attacking strategy after the opening was also a part he deliberately emphasized.

Against a team like Millwall, the sooner you can be sure of victory, the safer. In his vision, it would be nice if United had locked down in the first half, leaving plenty of room to play Tai Chi with Millwall in the final minute of the second half, and not risk injury and fight to the death.

While Ferguson pondered Millwall, Wise, the manager of Millwall, was naturally thinking about how the team would overcome Manchester United in the final.

While the pre-match favours for Manchester United were almost one-sided, it did not shake the determination of the most famous Premier League villain before Keane to lead Millwall to the eventual title.

Although he has long been on the verge of retiring from his career, Danny Wise's fierce, rebellious, and even savage personality has not been changed or weakened in the slightest, and he still led his teammates to spit on the famous "This is Anfield" sign when he was playing against Liverpool, who was invincible on the European continent at the time, shoveled Liverpool players in the game and did not dare to take the ball, and after the win, he openly mocked the Liverpool players like soft girls.

For such Danny Wise, it would be almost impossible to get him to surrender in a game, especially before the FA Cup final, which was about to make history, even against a Reds Manchester United who would probably never be out of reach at Millwall.

Since he was able to face Liverpool, the European hegemon at the time, he was not weak, and now he is facing one of the two major hegemons in English football on the same level as Liverpool, and Manchester United, the most successful team in the Premier League, will naturally not be weak.

However, if he doesn't admit defeat, Wise's mind is very clear, and against a giant like Manchester United, it is not something that Millwall, a second-tier team, can win if they want to.

Since the start of preparations for the FA Cup final, how to lead the team to victory over Manchester United in the FA Cup final has been a daily headache for him.

Although he has always left the impression of a reckless and fierce man, in fact, if this is the case, he will never be the manager of this Millwall team. Regardless of the real coaching ability, a sane and clear mind is absolutely indispensable.

He knows very well that the team's strength squad is definitely not comparable to Manchester United, and his own coaching strength is definitely 108,000 miles behind Ferguson. So in such a situation, playing with Manchester United to defeat the strong with the weak is definitely to kill yourself.

For him and Millwall, staying true to his style and what he does best, and honestly playing a rugby-like brutal hold with Manchester United in the FA Cup final, is the safest truth.

For the rest, you can steal the best one in the counterattack, and if you can't steal it, you will honestly defend the game until the penalty shootout, which is such a simple tactic, and nothing else is needed at all.

Therefore, he himself knows very well that he will never be able to play any dignified intra-board moves.

Since this is the case, Wise can only think of some off-the-plate moves.

Two days before the start of the FA Cup, when he presented the three FA Cup winners' medals he had won at Wimbledon and Chelsea in front of Millwall in a pre-match meeting, the corners of the famous villain's mouth could not help but curl into a smug arc as he watched the players suffocate and widen their eyes with greed for a moment.

The smile was so terrifying on his chilling face!
