Millwall eventually defeated Coventry 3-1 to advance to the next round of the League Cup.

The mid-week games were all in the evening. After the game, Aldridge simply gave an interview and talked about Messi, who scored the goal of the game's debut, and he did not hesitate.

"For a short time in the past, the outside world knew that Millwall's youth team had a talented young man. Messi's name was also widely spread among many senior scouts. Many clubs have hoped to get it since the previous year. He, but Millwall is very much looking forward to Messi’s future, and I am glad that he himself stayed firmly in Millwall to chase his football dream. The first show scored goals, everything is dreamy and perfect, He showed a part of his ability through a short period of performance. Of course, he has not yet fully exerted it. Young people have unlimited possibilities. Messi, his potential is almost unlimited, but he needs patience. As the head coach, I also Need to be calm, he is only 17 years old, he needs correct guidance and use of the court. For the fierce Premier League, Messi needs to be stronger in the future, but we are not worried about this. Still, he is only 17 years old. Career has just begun."

When leaving the club at night, Aldridge drove home with his son, Bert, who was watching the ball in the box.

Yue Lang was scarce, and Burt kept turning his head to stare at Aldridge in the co-pilot position, not knowing what he was thinking.

Earl seems to be pressed for time since going to school. Outside of studying, he has to meet the needs of personal play. Instead of watching the ball tonight, he plays video games at home.

In front of a traffic light, Aldridge finally turned his head to face Burt, reached out to touch his head, and smiled and asked, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Dad, if I make my career debut, will you cheer for me on the sidelines like Messi's father?"

Aldridge lost his smile and said, "Of course."

"Will you cheer for me?"

"Why not?"

"Will you cry for me?"

"Okay, if you can score goals, I will cry with excitement."

"It's a word!"

"..."

In the evening, when I got home and walked upstairs, cheers came from Earl's room. Aldridge pushed in and saw Earl yelling at the computer screen. He looked closely and felt weird.

Because since the summer, Earl has been playing a football manager game, and now there is no FM, it is CM. Earl is very entangled in the power of Millwall in the game. Without cheating, he runs an unknown club. Start at a low level, and then the goal is to defeat Millwall in the future...

Tonight, he probably achieved his goal, so he was a little bit excited.

Aldridge walked over to pick him up from the computer desk and smiled: "It's all time, sleep, sleep! Don't let me remove the computer from your house!"

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

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

"Ok?"

Earl knelt on the bed in pajamas and stared at Aldridge sitting at the computer desk as if he were playing.

Aldridge is a nostalgic look, and will not really put effort into playing.

Seeing Earl's manager's name, Aldridge could not help but endure.

Hall II!

...

The sixth round of the Premier League started.

Millwall's game is to be the finale, they will visit Old Trafford to challenge Manchester United.

Chelsea ushered in Tottenham led by Santini on Stamford Bridge.

At the end of the 90-minute game, Stamford Bridge boos!

The boos of the Blues fans are for Tottenham.

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

The score on the scoreboard is 0:0.

The two sides shake hands and make peace.

But Mourinho fired on Tottenham after the game.

On this day, football also gave birth to a new term: the bus.

Mourinho satirized Tottenham's placement of a bus in the penalty area.

In the standings, Chelsea narrowed the gap with Millwall, one point behind, but Millwall's game has not yet started.

The next day, Fleet Street mocked Mourinho in turn.

"It was almost the same as the Tottenham at White Hart Lane against defending champion Millwall a month ago, and the Tottenham at Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a month later. Santini played a disgusting game against the top teams. 9-0-1 formation, perhaps as Mr. Mourinho said, Tottenham parked a bus in the penalty area, but in White Hart Lane, Millwall blood washed Tottenham with a score of 5:0 At the Stamford Bridge, Chelsea took advantage of the home court, but only ended 0-0 with Tottenham. Mourinho had reason to mock Santini and Tottenham, so we also have reason to satirize Mourinho in turn Mr.: Only allow you to fight against the counterattack, not allow the opponent to swing the bus, right? The opponent must attack your own initiative to give you a chance to counterattack? It is not as good as you admit that the Chelsea position offensive and tough battle level, so there is no Any disputes."

Regardless of his coaching ability, Santini has at least been a coach of the French team. His vision is still there. Chelsea takes anti-counterfeiting as the core, and the wing breaks through sharply. Of course, they cannot give them space and counterattack opportunities.

This problem was encountered many years ago after Millwall won the first league title, so they are improving their positional combat ability year by year, especially when the team coached by Aldridge will make appropriate changes, because Millwall It is targeted by many people, and it has been studied by many opponents. If it is unchanged, it is easy to be restricted to death, so even if it is a very successful tactic, in terms of details, Aldridge will always seek new changes to let the opponent target Sexually restricted deployment failed.

In this round, Millwall was visiting Old Trafford.

Aldridge led the team to Manchester. Manchester United was not listed as one of the championships at the beginning of the season. After five rounds of the league, Manchester United trailed Millwall by 9 points in the standings!

Millwall started the game with 5 wins and 15 points.

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

In addition to running in the new season, Manchester United has hidden dangers in the back line. The special position of the goalkeeper has begun to cause Ferguson’s headache. Howard’s status has declined. Ferguson has lost patience and Carol has been activated. Heinze needs to adapt to the Premier League. Keane is not as old as he was, and Rooney still needs to integrate. When multiple problems are exposed in multiple positions, Manchester United’s poor record is also reasonable.

Appearing in Old Trafford, Aldridge shook hands with Ferguson indifferently. There was clearly anxiety between Ferguson's eyebrows.

I don't know whether it is because the team has a poor start in the league, or because he and some of the club's major shareholders are unhappy because of off-court affairs.

"The sixth round of the Premier League finale in the new season is about to begin. The defending champion Millwall came to Old Trafford. Will the Red Devils Manchester United win a home victory to end the three-game draw? Today, both sides elaborately hope, The two teams can perform a classic game for all audiences.

Manchester United started 442.

Goalkeeper: Carol.

Guards: Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.

Midfielders: Joaquin, Keane, Scholes, Giggs.

Forwards: Rooney, Fanny.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.

Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.

Forwards: C Ronaldo, Villa, Ronaldinho. "

From the beginning of the game, Millwall's competitive state is obviously better than Manchester United, and he hardly sees any home advantage.

Ferguson's tactical change in the new season actually turned the team's 442 into 4231, Scholes' position was further back, and Rooney played a shadow striker position.

But at first it seemed that the effect was not particularly ideal, because Manchester United's familiar routine is to quickly attack the opponent on the side, but now when the two wings in the midfield and the front and back excessively, players need a better understanding.

Ronaldinho's recent good condition is the first goal of Manchester United's marking. It can be said that Millwall successfully suppressed Manchester United's right attack through Ronaldinho's threat. Hua Jin must retreat to give Ronaldinho pressure behind him.

At the beginning of the opening, Ronaldinho broke through Neville on the wing, pushed Manchester United's defense back, and immediately passed the ball to find the top of the front arc of the penalty area. Kaka was stared to death, but Alonso was plugged into the back. Marking, after a few games in the new season, Alonso feels better and better on the offensive.

Without stopping the ball, Alonso shot a powerful shot outside the penalty area!

boom!

The ball popped on the beam and shook Old Trafford's goal, shaking the hearts of Manchester United fans.

Four minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Heinze on the right, cut into the penalty area and crossed the ball in front of the goal. Villa grabbed the point and shot, but the angle was too small to hit the ball on the goal net.

Carol kicked the kick and was directly headed by De Rossi to Ram on the wing. Ram took the ball all the way forward, dunked the ball in front of Joaquin and then suddenly plugged into the rib on the left penalty area. After shaking the right side, Ferdinand lost his center of gravity and Ronaldinho changed direction to continue to the bottom line. He stepped closer to the goal of Manchester United. Because he has been close to zero angle, Ronaldinho is not in a hurry. He is waiting for his teammates to run, Kaka and Alonso and Villa are all marked by Manchester United. When Carol thought he could absolutely block Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho picked up the ball in place and took it to the back of the goal. On the other side, Ronaldo He jumped high at the back post, but he jumped early!

At the moment when it was most necessary to push the ball, it seemed that the ball was hitting his head, and then the bottom line was ejected.

In the restricted area of ​​Manchester United, there was a lot of noise, Aldridge raised his forehead and sighed. Good opportunities cannot be wasted like this!

Ferguson was expressionless and felt helpless.

Ronaldinho, who breaks the table, can offset at least two of Manchester United's defensive players in terms of pair consumption, and then his teammates in other positions are all good, and the state is not bad, so sometimes I feel that Manchester United The comparison of the number of offenses and defenses is less than Millwall, the reason is also here, the partial defense can not be equal to the partial disappearance of the defensive strength.

Ferguson does not want to fight back, but Manchester United can only passively fight back. Their right is almost paralyzed. The threat on the left is very intuitive.

Giggs is also over thirty years old, but his condition is maintained very well, and his technical proficiency is unmatched, but the speed may be slightly inferior than before, but it is not obvious.

When Manchester United fought back and forth again and again, Giggs drove the ball on the left and they were their main means.

Schneider is also a veteran, competitive state, physical state can be comparable to Giggs, especially on the defensive consciousness, he did not once let Giggs into the defense, Giggs in the side pass, today Shir Wa could not be considered successful in blocking Fanny, but at least a few points could be grabbed, and when he could not grab a point, Nesta would immediately make up for him, Silva made a judgment based on the situation and proceeded. The next step is defensive movement and choice. This is a game that requires him to concentrate and turn his thinking fast, because Manchester United has one of the world's best opportunistic forwards: Van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area.
