Thanks for the reward of "Death of the Thief"! ——

In this FA Cup semi-final, Millwall and Manchester United actually have the same idea, settle the battle in 90 minutes, and when it comes to the semi-finals, a single game is decided, and a draw within 90 minutes will go to extra time, rather than a replay.

Neither team wanted to send the game to extra time, even if Millwall came off the bench.

If you don't win for a long time, you have to make a mistake, and this is the case with Manchester United.

They went on a rampage for 30 minutes and failed to score a goal, but Millwall made the most of their chances in the 32nd minute.

Neil's backfield clearance ball was grabbed by Klose with his back, and then directly knocked back to the diagonal back wing, Glen Charles started at full speed to get the ball, and after touching the ball, he ran directly along the side, when Bart came to defend him, he knocked on the middle, Lampard inserted the ball again, the ball returned to Klose's feet, he didn't stop the ball, pushed the arch of his foot, and tucked the ball diagonally behind him.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was on level with Stam but when Stamm was about to turn around, he accelerated head-on, won the ball in an offside position and calmly pushed it into the near corner, and Schmeichel fell to the ground to save to no avail.

Millwall lead Manchester United 1-0.

"Ruud van Nistelrooy scored, Millwall opened the scoring!"

The fans who came to Elland Road Stadium to cheer for the Lions were cheering up and down, and now there are voices shouting the slogan of the Triple Crown!

Millwall only need to beat Manchester United today and have a great future!

Ferguson grimed on the sidelines.

He realised that maybe he and Arsene Wenger had made the same mistake.

They were all confused by the replacement supplies sent by Millwall.

Even as a substitute, Millwall's players are very strong enough to fight. Aldridge, in particular, has tailored defensive counter-attacking tactics for them. Solid defense to ensure a record. If you play offensive football, you may be defeated by a strong team.

Ferguson cursed in his heart.

Damn, Ruud van Nistelrooy should have been poached sooner to come to Manchester United!

Looking at Ruud van Nistelrooy, who was celebrating after the goal, Ferguson was both envious and annoyed by Aldridge.

Such a good striker can't play the main force in Millwall!

If Ruud van Nistelrooy had lured him before he broke out this season, maybe Ferguson would have succeeded, but now, if there is no main position. Ruud van Nistelrooy would rather play as a substitute at Millwall, at least as long as he plays, he is comfortable playing, and Klose's assists are very close to him.

Aldridge was also troubled by Ruud van Nistelrooy.

With no injuries to the main team, Ruud van Nistelrooy can only play as a substitute.

And as Ruud van Nistelrooy gets older, his demands for the main position are getting stronger.

Keep it, I'm worried that he will be angry and abuse himself.

If you don't keep it, who will you sell it to?

Vanney, a mid-to-lower team, is not looking down on Odridge, and Aldridge hopes that a foreign club can take Vanney away. lest he stay in the Premier League and abuse himself in the future.

Vieira, Pire. Players such as Stam, Toney, Gudjohnsen and others left Millwall to continue to play in the Premier League, in a sense, creating problems for Millwall.

After conceding the goal, Ferguson gave instructions to his disciples.

The offense must continue to attack, otherwise give up the game?

But the offensive and defensive system should be balanced, and it can't be caught off guard by counterattack because of the attack just after conceding the ball just now, just like they played Arsenal, once the opponent is given a large amount of counterattack space, then the opponent's two wings and midfielders suddenly accelerate to hit the ground and cut, and they can't prevent it at all.

Manchester United adjusted the tempo of the game slightly and the Red Devils built up the advantage in central midfield.

However, Millwall's defence was solid and did not give the opposition a chance.

Millwall walked into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead in the first half.

Aldridge praised the team's performance and told them to keep going in the second half.

Before exiting the dressing room, the whole squad shouted "Kill Manchester United" to boost morale

Aldridge happened to meet with Ferguson in the players' tunnel, and Ferguson said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Is it interesting for Millwall to learn from Arsenal's style of play? What about your traditional 433? ”

Aldridge smiled when he heard this, indeed, Millwall's 433 in the season when he won the league championship in 97 was powerful, and now the main lineup is also playing 433, the outside world seems to have labeled Millwall as 433.

Aldridge and Ferguson walked out side by side, raised their eyebrows and said: "When I first coached the team in 94, I played 442, when I played defense, Arsenal was still playing 5 defenders, Wenger just went to Japan, why do you say that my team is learning from Arsenal?" ”

Ferguson sneered: "Your Premier League debut in 95 was indeed 442 at Old Trafford, but was 442 the same then as 442 now?" Then you were like the people's fighters for peace, what have become of you now? It's like a man who has undergone surgery to cut off his testicles, neither yin nor yang. ”

Aldridge was laughing so hard that tears were coming out.

I have to say that 442 is just a formation, and the key is how to arrange tactics.

Shrinking down the middle like their bench and Arsenal's and advancing quickly on the counter-attack is a bit obscene.

"But this kind of play, the record is guaranteed, do you think Arsenal have conceded fewer goals than Manchester United so far? Almost 20 of them! ”

"Manchester United have scored 20 more goals than Arsenal!"

"You have the same league points, do you really have the confidence to bash Arsenal?"

Ferguson was silent.

After the two separated from each other after walking out of the players' tunnel, Ferguson suddenly turned his head and glared at Aldridge viciously.

Damn, I'm attacking Millwall's tactics today!

Aldrich, outrageously cunning, stealing concepts and changing the subject!

With a good mood to watch the game from the sidelines, Aldridge found that United were still not in a mess in the second half.

In his opinion, whether the team is strong or not, how many goals are followed up, and how many goals conceded are not directly related, but in the adversity of backwardness, the team's posture is the standard that intuitively reflects the strength.

There seemed to be a lot of local fans coming to Elland Road Stadium as loud singing rang out from the stands.

"There is only one wing. (There-is-only-one-untied)”

It's a song that both Manchester United and Leeds United fans sing. Its hostile spearhead is directed at the other.

Aldrich looks around the pitch. Look at it this way. It seems that Millwall did take advantage of a bit of a neutral position.

However, he felt that it was a disservice for these Leeds United fans to watch the game!

When this song reaches the ears of Manchester United players, it is completely adrenaline to stimulate each other!

Manchester United really got up, but one board and one eye hit, Xiaobei's cross landed well, but it was completely guarded by Ferdinand and Neil, and Scholes's long-range shots were always in vain.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Aldridge replaced Duff in the 75th minute of the second half and brought on Donny van der Meyde.

Looks like. Millwall will hold on to a narrow win before advancing to the final.

However, in the 88th minute of the game, Ryan Giggs stepped up, he cut inside with the ball on the left side, shook off Lampard and then avoided Mills's tackle, the rhythm was in one go, and after entering the penalty area, he made a quick stop to break through Ferdinand, who was distracted by Cole's forward insertion, and scored with a volley from a small angle!

"Giggs's solo performance! He scored the ball after three in a row and it was a wonderful goal, Ryan Giggs. He saved Manchester United! ”

Aldridge smiled helplessly at the loss of the goal, clapped his palms to cheer up the players and continue the game.

Giggs' goal was similar to Nedved's superhero in the Champions League. It is almost impossible to replicate, just like Maradona has five people in a row, this kind of performance is a flash of inspiration on the spot, especially the breakthrough, every change of direction, acceleration, smash the ball, get rid of, and other action choices, almost all of them are subconscious, and there must be the cooperation of the opponent, so that Giggs can do it again 10 times, and he may not be able to score another goal.

Aldridge is not disappointed at all, although he does not want to play extra time, but if he wants to play, then play, the longer the time drags on, the worse it will be for Manchester United, especially for the league and the Champions League.

Ferguson was also applauding Giggs' goal.

However, he was happy for less than a minute.

Millwall restarted the kick-off, United pressed and pressed, Millwall calmly fell to the ground, and Van der Meyde received a pass from Frank Lampard on the flank and fired a through ball to Klose in front.

Klose stopped the ball and turned around directly past Bart, Bart had a problem with his position, did not cling to Klose, and at the same time subconsciously grabbed the ball when the opponent received the ball, Klose turned around and wiped him.

Klose, who dribbled forward, observed Van Nistelrooy's movements, and Stam and Johnson watched Van Nistelrooy tightly, thinking Klose would pass the ball, which Klose had done almost always in the previous period.

But when he found that no one was robbing him, Klose broke through with the ball himself and rushed between Stamm and Johnson.

They were both stunned.

The big tall man was not slow to start accelerating, Johnson turned and couldn't catch up, and Klose fired a powerful shot through Schmeichel's ten fingers.

"Lore! Less than 1 minute after Manchester United's goal, Millwall scored another goal, 2:1, Klose beat Manchester United! What is Manchester United's backline up to? Barth, Stam, Johnson, one of the three was easily cleared, and the two centre-backs almost watched Klose score in the box, what were they thinking? Don't want to play extra time? ”

Klose scored and rushed to the sideline to do a somersault in celebration.

Aldrich was also confused.

He was ready to make a substitution for extra time, wanting Pedreti to come on to replace Glen Char.

The goal was so surprising that Aldridge looked a little surprised when he opened his mouth slightly.

After coming to his senses, he still made a substitution, and this substitution was to delay time and strengthen the defense.

But Pedretti came on to replace Klose.

Ferguson's face was as black as carbon.

it, Klose's goal made Giggs' goal worthless.

How?

Why do Millwall have so many good strikers?

Look at the German big man's technical ability, especially the teamwork awareness is commendable, and the breakthrough into the penalty area just now is clean and neat.

Millwall's forward line has been worry-free for ten years!

Ferguson asked his disciples to work hard to score another goal, while cursing Aldridge in his heart.

It's really strange, Millwall is not a giant, but at least in terms of player selection, they are more comfortable than the giants.

United pressed hard but couldn't score a second goal in the last minute and David Beckham tried to turn the tide with a long-range shot in the last minute of the game, only to end the game by grazing the post and deflecting wide.

"Millwall beat Manchester United 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-finals to reach the final and will face Newcastle United for this season's FA Cup, with the league ahead, Champions League final and FA Cup final, Millwall fans can dream of a treble, and if Millwall can accomplish this, they will undoubtedly be the most successful club in England's history in a single season!"
