Although Wenger suffered a 0:4 defeat at home in the league, from the overall strategy, Wenger's plan at this stage was successful.

Even if the league has won all the remaining games, they will not be able to win the championship. Unless they all lose the game and their competitors all win the game, Arsenal will fall from the standings to the fourth place. They have already won the Champions League seats.

So excluding confrontation, Arsenal's overall focus has shifted to the FA Cup, and defeated the opponent in the semifinals to advance to the final.

The match between Millwall and Manchester United will take place a day later.

The venue is the middle ground, at the home of Middlesbrough: Riverside Stadium.

Before the arrival of this game, Millwall's momentum was swift and violent, as Fleet Street promoted: the crazy lion had the opportunity to create the Triple Crown again!

The league is the leader, both the Champions League and the FA Cup have reached the semifinals.

If they can win the rest of the game in one go, they will undoubtedly become the Triple Crown.

Aldridge was not tempted to stun his head. When he came to the Riverside Stadium, Millwall sent a substitute lineup. Among them, Southgate, who had been injured for more than half of the season, made his first appearance in the game as a substitute at the end of the season.

Ferguson led the Red Devils to the Riverside Stadium. He was quieter than he was at the beginning of the season.

Manchester United's new season blood exchange is not particularly successful, at least not as Arsenal looks as strong.

The state of the league is erratic, the Champions League is also out, and the only remaining championship is the FA Cup.

The Red Devils' efforts throughout the season will be concentrated on the FA Cup.

"The 2004-2005 FA Cup semi-final is about to start. In the semi-final held yesterday, Arsenal won the game and advanced to the final. They are now waiting for the final opponent. Manchester United or Millwall? Wenger after the game Saying not to be afraid of any opponents, but many people think that Wenger lacked confidence when he said these words. Whether it is Millwall or Manchester United, the FA Cup final will definitely be a showdown between the giants. Judging from the fact that Manchester United, who was not optimistic about the outside world, has a card advantage. They sent all the main players who can play, but Millwall put a lot of the main players on the bench. Millwall wants to stay in the Premier League and the Champions League. In less than a month, this season is coming to an end, and May is coming. From an important point of view, the FA Cup is the lowest weight trophy for Millwall. They have tradition and are confident to play with the bench. Compete for the final ticket.

Manchester United started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Carol.

Guards: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Sylvester, Heinze.

Midfielders: Joaquin, Keane, Scholes, Rooney, Giggs.

Forward: Fanny.

Millwall started 433.

Goalkeeper: Bute.

Guards: Ramos, Neal, Southgate, Baines.

Midfielders: Pedretti, Moutinho, Lamore.

Forwards: Larson, Villa, Glennshire. "

If other giant coaches send a starting lineup like Millwall in this level of the game, they will definitely be scolded by the fans, but Aldridge does this, no one will criticize it, perhaps because he won Too much, too much, some unbelievable practices that others see, but they were criticized as unpredictable and clever when they finally succeeded.

Millwall is not unprecedented to use the substitute lineup to turn the enemy in the cup. Once the good play of Arsenal and Manchester United was still vivid, many fanatics are optimistic that they will relive the old dream today.

Ferguson's face was sullen and he lost to Aldridge in the league. The Champions League had an intuitive decline after reaching the final three years ago.

Today, in the FA Cup semi-final, Millwall despised sending off the bench, and standing on an objective stand, he could understand Aldridge's approach.

The Premier League has reached an extreme level of contention.

According to Chelsea's current points, it is higher than last year's league leader Arsenal!

However, Chelsea are still behind Millwall.

The league cannot be tolerated, and it is not easy to believe. It is wishful to stimulate the team mentally, but it is difficult to reverse the physical fatigue of the team. In addition, Millwall also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League at the same time, and will go to Turin to challenge after a week. Juventus, under such circumstances, Aldridge put up a substitute to let the main rest, reasonable.

But this "reasonableness" put Ferguson and Manchester United in a very embarrassing situation. It can be said that the game was forced to the edge of the cliff without starting.

If Manchester United lost to such a Millwall, where is the dignity of Ferguson and the Red Devils?

It's almost a reputation.

Because of this, Ferguson's face is a bit gloomy, and it is false to say that he is not nervous. If he is eliminated by Millwall's backup lineup, what other face will he return to Manchester?

Aldridge didn't think as much as Ferguson thought. On paper strength, Millwall's backup lineup is definitely weaker than Manchester United, and the gap is obvious. Especially in the midfield, there is a high probability of being suppressed.

There is a gap in the lineup. It is inevitable that in any game, there is always a gap between strong and weak. Millwall has half-team world-class players. However, world-class players do not represent iron men. They are required to not only be able to work full time, but also It is unrealistic to achieve world-class standards!

Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge's position on the game is very simple.

If we say anti-anti, it is estimated that Manchester United can surely guess that at least after seeing Millwall's starting lineup, he is roughly prepared.

After all, it is too difficult to want to play against Manchester United in the midfield.

When he used the bench lineup to overturn Manchester United and Arsenal, it was to use anti-anti.

The applicability of anti-reverse is very wide, and it is also an effective means to use tactics to make up for a certain gap between the weak and strong parties.

Then, the other party can guess, be prepared, and play this way, it may not be too good, after all, the opponent will guard against you.

Therefore, Aldridge wants to play against Manchester United on the sidelines today.

The five basic defenders remain, double guards, double backs, and starter Lamore who actually hits the forwards in the front.

Moutinho and Lamore are the ones who play the ball in the middle. If they rely on only one person, they will be stared to death and the possibility of being restricted is extremely great.

Take the sidelines, bilateral forwards, bilateral guards change into forwards, plus the center, this is the five-man group invested in the attack.

It is basic to defend against the winger, and the full-back is the unexpected back.

This is also targeted. Ferguson began to retreat Scholes and played a role of grooming the midfielder. On the one hand, Keen's age increased. On the other hand, Aldridge used Coles has had relatively good results.

Manchester United’s side attack is traditional. In the past, now, and in the future, the key wings are flying together. Even if the full-back is not assisting, in the midfield, the largest area is still on the side, Millwall wants to attack. Just make use of this.

When the game was about to start, Ferguson also left his seat and went to the sidelines to start the war.

Ferguson, who looked stern, knew that this was an unmissable game.

It doesn't even matter whether you have advanced to the FA Cup final.

It is purely athletic meaning.

If Manchester United's main defeat to Millwall's bench may be a fatal blow to the confidence of Manchester United in this period, it will become a nightmare or a demon. If Millwall is encountered in the future, the war may not be the first to counsel.

At the beginning of the game, the pace of the game was a bit slow in the first five minutes. Both sides are entering the game. Manchester United lost to Chelsea in the last league game, which is also regarded as staying in the game. However, since it was lost, it is another cup today. Determine the outcome, be safe, and be cautious and correct.

In the rhythm of the game, Millwall was led by the opponent. Aldrich watched for a while and then gestured to let the team take the initiative to accelerate and use the impact of the wing to change the rhythm of the game.

If you don't destroy the phenomenon of Manchester United controlling the rhythm of the game, then Millwall may have no chance, because when you react to destroy the rhythm, maybe the score is already behind, and it has accumulated a disadvantage that is difficult to reverse.

In the 9th minute, Ramos passed the ball to Ramor in the middle in the backcourt. When Scholes came to snatch, Ramor knocked the ball back to Moutinho, who crossed the wing. , Baines crossed the midfield line, and touched the ball with Glenn Charles on the wing.

Baines did not dare to confront Neville head-on, fearing that he would lose the ball, so he quickly crossed the ball.

In the middle of the road, Villa jumped high and wanted a header. However, because the ball passed a little high, Villa jumped to the extreme height but only felt the ball flew past his head.

When Villa regretted it, he heard a bang and someone headed.

Is it free?

No, it's an attack.

Larson cut into the penalty area and grabbed a header in front of Sylvester.

Unfortunately, the goal is slightly off the top.

"Millwall first blew the offensive horn, and Larsson, who was very alert, almost headered!"

Ferguson looked suddenly tight on the sidelines.

Millwall is not here to fight back!

It can't be said how aggressive Milwall's offense is. After all, there will be six players in the offense.

Ferguson feared that if Millwall led the ball, the game would have completely changed.

In response to this game, Manchester United is actually playing fast, not opening fast, slowing down the pace, is a means of paralyzing the enemy, creating an illusion, and then suddenly force to beat the opponent by surprise.

Although Aldridge also has a targeted arrangement for the game, but subject to the player's level, when Manchester United pre-planned to show weakness first and then exert force, Millwall's defense exposed the problem of young players' slow response to the sudden and rapid rhythm. Mu Tinho's protection of the restricted area is not timely enough.

At the same time, veteran Southgate made a very uncomfortable mistake on the court that made the fans of the crazy lion.
