Millwall eventually beat Coventry City 3-1 to advance to the next round of the Carabao Cup.

Midweek games were all played in the evening, and after the game, Aldridge gave a brief interview about Lionel Messi, who scored on his debut.

"In the past short time, the outside world has known that Millwall's youth team has a talented young man Cunzài, Messi's name is also widely spread in the mouths of many senior scouts, many clubs have wanted him since the year before, but Millwall is very much looking forward to Messi's future, and I am glad that he himself is determined to stay at Millwall to pursue his football dream. Scoring on his debut, a qiē is simply dreamy, perfect, he has shown some of his ability in a short period of time, of course, he has not played all of it, young people have infinite possibilities, Messi, his potential is almost unlimited, but he needs patience, as a manager, I also need to be calm, he is only 17 years old, he needs the right guidance and use of the field, for the fierce Premier League, Messi needs to be stronger in the future, but we are not worried about this, or that sentence, he is only 17 years old, his career has only just begun. ”

When he left the club in the evening, Aldridge drove home with his son Bert, who was watching the game in the box.

The moon was bright and the stars were thin, and Bert kept turning his head to stare at Aldrich in the passenger seat, not knowing what he was thinking.

Earl seems to be pressed for time since he started school, and he has to meet his personal needs for play outside of studying, and instead of watching the ball tonight, he plays video games at home.

At a traffic light, Aldrich finally turned to face Bert. Reach out and touch his head. He smiled and asked, "Why do you keep staring at me?" ”

"Dad. If I make my professional debut in the future, will you be on the sidelines cheering me on like Messi's father? ”

Aldrich smirked, "Of course it will." ”

"Will you cheer for me?"

"Why not?"

"Will you shed tears for me?"

"Well, if you can score, I'll be in tears."

"It's a deal!"

“”

When he got home and walked upstairs in the evening, cheers rang from Earle's room, Aldrich pushed the door in, and saw Earl yelling at the computer screen, and he took a closer look. The mood is weird.

Because Earl has been playing the football manager game since the summer, and now there is no FM, it is CM, Earl is very entangled in Millwall's strength in the game, without cheating, running an obscure club by himself, starting from the low level, and then the goal is to beat Millwall in the future

Tonight, presumably his goal was achieved. So the excitement was a little gaffe.

Aldrich walked over and picked him up from the computer desk and smiled, "What time is it?" Sleep, sleep! Don't let me move the computer out of your house! ”

"Oh, oh, Dad, help me save my progress, save my progress, the last time Aunt Evan just turned off the computer, my progress is gone! Save it for me. ”

"You can honestly put me to bed, don't worry about the rest."

"Huh?"

Earl knelt on the bed in his pajamas and watched in amazement as Aldrich sat at his computer desk as if he had played.

Aldridge is nostalgic and won't really put in the energy to play.

Seeing Earl's name as the manager, Aldrich couldn't help but laugh.

Hall II!

The sixth round of the Premier League is underway.

Millwall will be the finale when they travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United.

Chelsea welcome Santini at Stamford Bridge for Tottenham.

At the end of the 90 minutes, there were boos at Stamford Bridge!

The boos from the Blues fans were given to Tottenham.

Because Tottenham put up a 9-0-1 formation in the game.

The score on the scoreboard is 0:0.

The two sides shook hands and made peace.

However, Mourinho opened fire on Tottenham after the game.

On this day, a new term was born in football: swinging bus.

Jose Mourinho satirized Tottenham for placing a bus in the box.

In the table, Chelsea have closed the gap on Millwall, one point behind, but the game is yet to start.

The next day, Fleet Street taunted Mourinho in turn.

"Tottenham's face against defending champions Millwall at White Hart Lane a month ago was almost identical to Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge a month later, with Santini playing in a disdainful 9-0-1 formation against a top team, perhaps as Mr Mourinho said, Tottenham parked a bus in the box, but at White Hart Lane, Millwall thrashed Tottenham 5-0, and at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea had the advantage of being at home, but could only end in a 0-0 draw with Tottenham. Mourinho has reason to laugh at Santini and Tottenham, so we also have reason to mock Mr. Mourinho in turn: You are only allowed to play defense, and the opponent is not allowed to put the bus, right? Does the opponent have to take the initiative to attack and give you a chance to counterattack? It's better to admit that Chelsea's positional play is of average quality, so there's no controversy. ”

Santini no matter what his coaching ability is, at least he has been the coach of the French team, and he still has the vision, Chelsea is the core of defense and counterattack, and the side is sharp, of course, they can't be given space and counterattack opportunities.

This kind of problem was encountered many years ago, after Millwall won the first league championship, so they are improving their positional warfare ability year by year, especially Aldridge's coaching team will make appropriate changes, because Millwall is the target of public criticism, and is focused on by many opponents, if it remains the same, it is easy to be limited to death, so even if it is a very successful set of tactics, in the details, Aldridge will always seek new changes to make the opponent's targeted restriction deployment fail.

In the final game of this round, Millwall was a guest at Old Trafford.

Aldridge led the team to Manchester, United were not listed as one of the favourites at the start of the season, and after five league games, United are a staggering nine points behind Millwall in the table!

Millwall started the game with a win in all five games. 15 points.

Manchester United 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss. 6 points.

Manchester United in the new season in addition to the run-in lineup. There are also hidden dangers in the backline, the special position of goalkeeper is starting to give Ferguson a headache again, Howard's form is declining, Ferguson loses patience and uses Carroll, Heinze needs to adapt to the Premier League, Keane is not as old as he was back then, and Rooney is still young and needs to integrate. With problems exposed in multiple positions, big or small, it's understandable that United are suffering from a poor record.

Aldridge, who appeared at Old Trafford, shook hands with Ferguson with a nonchalant expression, and Ferguson's brow was clearly worried.

I don't know if it's because of the team's poor start to the league season, or because he was unhappy with some of the club's major shareholders over off-field matters.

"With the Premier League sixth round finale about to begin, defending champions Millwall are on the road to Old Trafford, can the Reds get a win at home to end a three-game draw? Today, the two sides are at their best, and I hope the two teams can perform a classic game for all audiences.

Manchester United started 442.

Goalkeeper: Carroll.

Defenders: Neville, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Heinze.

Midfielder: Joaquin. Keane, Scholes. Ryan Giggs.

Forwards: Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bout.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Lahm.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho. ”

From the start of the game, Millwall were clearly in better form than Manchester United, with little home advantage in mind.

Ferguson's tactical change in the new season is actually to change the team's 442 to 4231, Scholes is further back, and Rooney plays a shadow striker position.

However, it didn't seem to work out well at first, as the Reds' familiar routine of attacking the opposition quickly on the flanks now requires better understanding when the flanks of central midfield are back and forth.

Ronaldo, who has been in good form lately, is the number one target for Manchester United's defense, and it can be said that Millwall's threat has successfully suppressed United's attack on the right flank, and Joaquín must drop back to put pressure on Ronaldo's back.

At the beginning of the game, Ronaldo broke through Neville on the wing, pressed Manchester United's defense back, and then crossed the ball to the top of the arc in front of the penalty area, Kaka was stared to death, but Alonso was unmarked after a few games in the new season, Alonso felt better and better in pressing forward attack.

Without stopping the ball, Alonso blasted a powerful shot from outside the box!

Bang!

The ball bounced off the crossbar, shaking the Old Trafford goal and shaking the hearts and minds of Manchester United fans.

Four minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Heinze on the right flank, cut inside the box and crossed the ball in front of goal, Villa grabbed the front spot to shoot, but unfortunately the angle was too small to hit the ball in the side netting.

Carroll's goal was directly headed by De Rossi to Ram on the side, Lahm took the ball all the way forward, cut inside with the ball in front of Joaquin and then suddenly plugged the ribs of the left penalty area, Xiao Luo faked the right side after getting the ball, Ferdinand lost his center of gravity, Xiao Luo changed direction and continued to walk the bottom line, he approached Manchester United's goal step by step, because it has always been about zero angle, so Xiao Luo is not in a hurry, he is waiting for his teammates to run, Kaka and Alonso, Villa are all focused on Manchester United, when Carroll thought that he could definitely block Xiao Luo, Ronaldo picked up the ball on the spot and picked it up to the back of the goal, and on the other side, Ronaldo jumped high at the back post, but he jumped early!

At the moment when he needed to push the ball the most, it seemed that the ball smashed on his head, and then popped up on the bottom line.

There was a lot of noise in the Manchester United penalty area, and Aldridge held his forehead and sighed, a good opportunity can't be wasted like this!

Ferguson's face was expressionless, and he felt that there was nothing he could do.

A Ronaldinho who is in explosive form, in terms of the consumption of pairs, can offset at least two defensive players of Manchester United, and then his teammates in other positions have good abilities and are not in bad shape, so sometimes it feels that Manchester United's offensive and defensive numbers are less than Millwall, and the reason is also here.

Ferguson didn't want to counter-attack, but United had to play passively on the counter-attack, their right flank was almost paralyzed, and the threat on the left was very intuitive.

Ryan Giggs is also in his thirties, but he is in good form and his technical skills are unrivalled, although his pace may be slightly inferior to that of the past, but it is not so noticeable.

Often, when United counter-attacked, Ryan Giggs was the main tactic of darling down the left.

Schneider is also a veteran, competitive state, physical condition can be comparable to Giggs, especially in defensive awareness, he did not once let Giggs go inside in defense, Giggs crossed on the side, today Silva was not successful in blocking Ruud van Nistelrooy, but at least a few times to grab the point, and when he can't grab the point, Nesta will immediately fill in for him, Silva will make a judgment according to the shape, and make the next defensive move and choice, this is a game that requires him to be highly focused and his mind to turn quickly, Because Manchester United have one of the best opportunistic strikers in the world: Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area.
