1116 Road to Superstardom
"Millwall's poor record seems to be conceding again! It's hard to figure out why, it doesn't seem that they are lax, they lack fighting spirit, and it's easier to think that Manchester United has suddenly become stronger! ”
'The poor league record in August and the loss of the Community Shield are understandable, we can say that Millwall are going to play on multiple fronts, that the team is not doing their best in the summer, and so on, but Sir Hall said that Millwall is getting better, and we haven't seen that yet. + I think they're starting to have anxious signs, as if they're not taking Manchester United too seriously! ”
Aldridge looked solemn on the sidelines at Old Trafford.
The breeze blew through, making him sigh inwardly: times have changed.
Millwall has always been a benchmark for technical and tactical innovation in Europe, with all teams studying them and in the past era they have been constantly evolving.
Maybe their players are still getting stronger, but if they want to rule for 3 years with a set of excellent skills and tactics, it is a fool's dream.
In terms of the team's counter-robbery tactics, in the past, they could press the whole court wildly and unrestrainedly, causing the opponent to lose his square inch and be robbed dizzy.
When the opponent has once, twice, three times, more times, and has taken a mental precautionary shot in the preparation, knowing that Millwall will do this, Millwall will face the game like this, and the power and efficiency will be lower and lower.
Playing Manchester United today, it can be said that this defensive tactic of full-court pressing has become a weakness that opponents can exploit!
Advantages become disadvantages!
This is exactly what Aldridge and Ferguson have played each other, and it deserves his attention. Rather than treating Ferguson as a passerby, the root cause.
Think back to last season. Aldrich should be on his guard. Tactician Benitez, his old friend taught him a lesson, but at that time, Millwall was in full swing, and Liverpool beat Millwall in the same way, and the gap in hard power did not make the scene turn into a slap in the face.
Today, Millwall are not at their best, and Manchester United are sitting on home advantage and momentum. The feedback from the scene told Aldrich a clear signal: it must change!
Such a change is not to throw the defensive tactics of full-court pressing and counter-robbery into the dustbin, but to make detailed changes, stereotypes, reshapes, and sublimations.
It's like people who don't understand football say that the change in football tactics over the past hundred years has always been painfully slow, little by little, and it seems that there has been no change at all.
This is the typical layman's view.
Just as Aldridge put Pirlo, a forward midfielder, in the midfield position, it seems that it is only a very small change, and it will not even change the formation, but. This has created a whole new paradigm in football, and many teams now use 4231. The retreat of the organizational core is almost the trend of the times, which makes the vast majority of teams rush to it.
Anti-robbery, it must not be discarded.
However, it is absolutely impossible to use full-court pressure when the strong team is facing off, in a vain attempt to make the opponent collapse with crazy robbery.
That's not realistic anymore.
However, Aldridge had been prepared before, or rather, he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Gesturing to the players on the pitch, Millwall reduced the amount of pressure and counter-attack in the front, and the team's counter-attack focus on defending will be placed in the midfield, a change that has appeared in many on-the-spot commands in the past, but starting today, this will be finalized and become the main strategy of Millwall's defense.
United scored, with Millwall coming back from behind.
Such a pinnacle battle in the hearts of Manchester United's players, they naturally went all out, Scholes and Keane were very well protected at the back, and Henry was difficult to get a chance under the tight guard.
Villa is on the front waistline, in fact, a shadow striker, rushing, can't rush, and the ball forward, he does lack some aura of wonderful passing.
Ronaldo is still the Ronaldo who swings quite well, but Aldridge suddenly realized one thing in today's game.
Ronaldo, when will it explode?
He seems to be very stable, since he sat firmly in the main force last season, he has been very stable, stable to a certain extent, but it feels like "mediocre"!
This is relatively speaking, if Glen Charles had Ronaldo's swing at Ronaldo's age, then Glen Schal would never have left Millwall that year.
However, for Ronaldo, he should be better, for a genius, if he can't improve every day, it is equivalent to a decline!
After Aldridge made defensive changes, United's desire to catch Millwall on the counter-attack was dashed.
In the 2o minute of the game, Aldridge gestured to the midfielders to divert the focus of the attack!
When Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Villa didn't play particularly effective threats up front, it said two things, first, Manchester United defended successfully, and second, Manchester United must have spent a lot of energy to keep an eye on them!
In terms of pure one-on-one and opposing defense, the three offensive players of Millwall dare not say that they will blow up Manchester United's defensive players, but the success rate should be more than 5o%.
However, the success rate did not reach this number, because Manchester United used more defensive personnel, assistant defense, and pinching to limit Millwall's key attacking players.
Then, on the other hand, the energy that can be put into guarding against Millwall's secondary threat will be weakened.
In the 24th minute, Alonso sent a diagonal through ball from midfield, and the ball crossed the Manchester United midfield line diagonally and rolled to the right side of the penalty area.
O'Shea wanted to rush up and clear the ball, but he saw someone faster than him, and he touched the ball first, right in front of him!
It was a small player who was a head shorter than him, and his body seemed to be thin, O'Shea was a little overwhelmed, the opponent was too flexible, and while touching the ball, it seemed that there was no pause, and he directly wiped it from his side!
O'Shea even felt that if he reached out to commit a foul, it would be a crime!
Messi looks too immature!
He listened to Aldrich's advice and made a refreshing short that made him look more like a middle school student, full of sunshine and vitality, rather than a hot-blooded man on the court.
After Messi wiped past O'Shea, he went directly into the penalty area, Sylvester rushed over to defend for the first time, just before he was about to make contact with Messi, Messi deftly flicked the ball inside with his left foot, and dodged Sylvester to intercept his foot on the spot, at that moment, Sylvester only felt a flower in front of him, and he didn't know how the other party did it!
High school stop-and-go change direction, Messi seems to be unaffected by physical inertia, his excellence is not fancy, simple like the basic skills in a textbook!
But he was in the past!
At this time, the goal was wide open, and there was only Van der Sar in front of Messi.
Ferdinand stared at Henry closely, he didn't expect O'Shea and Sylvester to be broken through by Messi in a short period of time, and it was completely too late to save the car!
In the face of Van der Sar, everyone was expecting Messi to come to the goal with a heavy shot, but Messi didn't seem to swing his leg to shoot, just in the process of dribbling the ball, he gently pushed the ball forward, and the ball rolled accurately to the inside of the far post of the goal, the dead corner.
Van der Sar, no response!
He's shaken!
He was so focused that he was waiting for Messi's shot to come out to accurately predict, and as a result, when the ball rolled halfway towards the goal, he reacted, and at that time, he also knew that he couldn't touch the ball even if he saved, so he just stood in place and surrendered!
"Goal! Millwall equalised! The scorer is the teenager Messi! The goal was scored entirely on his individual ability, but we still have to praise Alonso's big picture, his through ball accurately passed the ball to Messi's inner line, Messi touched the ball and broke through O'Shea, changed direction in the box to past Silvestre, and finally calmly pushed the ball into the corner of the goal to defeat Van der Sar! ”
Old Trafford fell silent.
Damn Millwall, even if it's not in good shape, it can always cause accidents!
Ferguson was still expressionless.
In fact, he didn't know how to express his helplessness.
Messi is not a nobody.
Perhaps Messi's name is still a little unfamiliar to the world.
However, in English managerial circles, there was talk of Millwall having a small genius named Messi a few years ago.
That helped Millwall break records all the way from the Under-15 ranks, swept the youth team and even won the biggest star in the European club Youth Champions League.
Messi is a player that many managers want to poach and develop into the future core of the team.
The genius in the mouth of Fleet Street is a bargain, and it seems that as long as a cat or dog can play football, he can be boasted of being a genius.
But in the head coaching circle, Messi is a real genius, and this evaluation is very pertinent, because watching him play, even if you watch the video, you can judge at a glance that Messi's ability is absolutely ahead of his peers.
Messi scored.
His first goal at Old Trafford, his first against a big club, was a restrained celebration and his smile looked very shy.
He wasn't Henry, the man with the halo of Europe's No. 1 Divine Edge on his head.
He is not Cristiano Ronaldo, he already drives a famous car, lives in a mansion, and has become the new generation leader of the Portuguese national team.
He's just Messi, a little famous, but he doesn't have any real achievements and honors in hand.
On the way of his growth, he is cherishing every opportunity and trying his best to let himself face the current life with a normal heart.
In the green field, to become a superstar is actually a process of accumulating honors.
Individual honors, team honors.
It's not enough to be a superstar if you only take it once.
Once, twice, three times, many more times, in the process of continuous accumulation, you can embark on the road to superstardom.
With his feet on the turf of Old Trafford, Messi, who was embraced by Henry, pointed to the sky, he was doing a ceremony of thanksgiving, and his bright eyes shone with the light of yearning for a superstar. (To be continued!)
