No tactic can be perfect.

A team with limited lineup strength uses excellent tactical arrangements to play a level that exceeds the lineup's strength. Either the players are in excellent condition, otherwise the tactics will definitely have certain flaws.

Millwall is such a team. Their lineup strength is much worse than Manchester United, but Millwall's performance on the court has caught up with and even surpassed Manchester United.

This is incredible.

Ferguson observed the half, recalling Millwall's game after game, and then comparing with the game in front of him, he finally came to a conclusion: it is almost impossible to rely on defense and completely limit Millwall's offense.

Millwall's lineup configuration is quite strong in offense, not worse than Manchester United at all.

Darren Bent, the forward line, performed no worse than Rooney.

The triangle combination of midfielders Braniff, Simpson and Livermore is one more player than Carrick and Scholes' configuration, not to mention, the offensive ability of each point is much stronger.

For example, Livermore.

Livermore is the back midfielder, and Carrick is also the back midfielder.

Carrick is more famous, but his long-distance threat to the goal is not on the same order of magnitude as Livermore.

Scholes is a cooperative player, and his personal ability has not reached the world-class level. He is the team's midfield core, but he mostly cooperates with his teammates and plays a role in threading the needle in the offense.

Simpson and Braniff must have done better than he alone.

Mirwall's sidewalk is very strong, and Quaresma and Pire are both much better than Park Ji-sung.

The only advantage that Manchester United has is C-Ronaldo, whose personal abilities are the best in the game, and no other player can compare.

Millwall's frontcourt configuration is not as luxurious as Manchester United in the lineup, but its strength has exceeded Manchester United, and their offensive ability is also quite strong. In addition, the midfield advantage brought by the "dual core" tactics is impossible to rely on defense to make absolute restrictions.

Manchester United only focuses on defense and will gain little.

Focus on defending Darren Bent, Braniff, taking care of Simpson, Quaresma, and Pire, it is impossible to block all points by defending, while Millwall is the type of team that has a very threatening point.

How to fight such an opponent?

Attack!

Ferguson always believes that Manchester United's lineup is stronger and its performance will not be worse than Millwall. The situation is just caused by too much emphasis on defense.

In fact, they don't need to.

Manchester United can play tough attacks with Millwall. The opponent's attack is sharp, but the defense is definitely insufficient.

For example, they only have one midfielder, Liver Moore.

If one striker is missing, only one midfielder is arranged to increase the frontcourt ability. Whether it is a "single core" or a "double core", the number of players on the field will not change. Millwall's defense will definitely not be as strong as the offense.

It is already obvious how Manchester United plays.

———

Intermission.

When Manchester United players returned to the locker room, most of them were quiet. The first half of the game was not good for Manchester United, and the situation of falling behind at home made them clear that Ferguson would definitely be very dissatisfied.

Manchester United is Ferguson's team. When Ferguson is dissatisfied, no one will live a good life.

Manchester United players are ready to welcome the baptism of storms, but they are waiting for Wenger's Ferguson. Ferguson walked into the locker room without mentioning the first half, but just told the players how to play in the second half in a gentle tone-

"We must strengthen the offense and fight directly with them!"

"Don't be too obsessed with defending the opponent's players. As long as we can suppress the opponent with offense, we will win half of it."

"Don't think about anything, we are behind? It doesn't matter, we are Manchester United, I believe you can catch it back, and the fans also believe that everyone can do a good job and it's excellent!"

“…”

While explaining the second half style, Ferguson also comforted all the players with words, telling them not to think about other things, but to play seriously.

This works very well.

Manchester United players all breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Braniff's arrogance before the game and his current passiveness at home, even the head coach changed his usual temper and gently explained the tactical style. Everyone was full of fighting spirit and determined to perform well.

———

Millwall is a different look.

Zhang Yang walked into the locker room and praised all the players for their performances, and especially praised Braniff. "Kevin, I did a good job in the first half. You helped attract a lot of defense and gave other teammates more room to play."

Braniff likes being praised very much. He immediately relieved his depression, raised his head again, and showed a smile of 'I am the best'.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang reminded the players to pay attention to defense, "The opponent will definitely strengthen the offensive in the second half, and I hope you can do it, not seeking to continue scoring goals, defending the goal is more important than attack."

This is Zhang Yang's words.

If the general head coaches definitely wouldn't say "no goal is required". Expanding the lead is what any team wants. Giving players a saying that "no goal is required" may lead to players not taking the initiative to attack.

That's not how Zhang Yang thought.

Millwall is under great pressure to play against Manchester United away. They will definitely score goals if they can score. No player will give up the opportunity to score because the head coach did not ask for a goal. Perhaps it is because several players in the frontcourt are all familiar "old men". Zhang Yang is not worried that saying this will affect their performance.

Millwall's focus in the second half was also on defense.

With a goal advantage, defense becomes the top priority. No matter how cautious the game is when Manchester United is played, the opponent strengthens the offensive and plays against each other will make a goal advantage optional.

That was not a favorable situation in Mirwall.

———

As soon as the second half began, Manchester United launched a stormy offensive towards Millwall at the half.

Millwall was prepared for a long time and immediately retreated when the kickoff was launched, but he did not expect Manchester United's offensive to be so fierce. The first wave of offensive lasted for nearly four minutes. They almost played around Millwall in the middle. Millwall occasionally grabbed the ball and was immediately robbed back. Manchester United also got two chances of foot balls in the middle.

It was not until Carrick's long shot was thrown into his arms by goalkeeper Graham that Millwall had a chance to breathe.

Millwall finally realized the difficulty of Manchester United.

The game was too smooth from the beginning. Overall, Manchester United was somewhat suppressed by Millwall in the first half. Millwall players all had a sense of home games and the opponent was not a strong team. Now they finally realized that the opponent was really a giant team, and the game venue was also the opponent's home court, and they also found the feeling of "away".

When the game became fierce and Manchester United played suppression, Manchester United fans in the audience were immediately excited.

"This is the normal game!"

"Manchester United should play like this! I don't know what I was doing in the first half!"

"That's it, keep going! We will definitely win!"

“…”

As Manchester United showed strength again, the cheers of fans in the audience also became louder.

Manchester United's performance is indeed quite good.

The cooperation of each one made Mirwall have to choose to retreat and could not even get the start of the counterattack. Mirwall was also at a disadvantage in the midfield competition.

Manchester United focuses on the sidelines, and C-Ronaldo shines again.

C-Ronaldo is indeed very outstanding. Mirwall made targeted defensive arrangements, but it is still whimsical to completely block C-Ronaldo.

The most important thing is that C-Ronaldo is a right-side forward. The wing forward is a bit too far behind the middle and forward line. No team can give up the defense in front of the penalty area to guard the side of the side. That will shift the center of gravity of the entire defense line, and it will be difficult to limit defense in other positions.

With the shining of C-Ronaldo, Manchester United's efficiency has also improved a lot.

In the 51st and 57th minutes, C-Ronaldo led the right side and made continuous breakthroughs and exquisite cooperation. After breaking through Mirwall's defense twice, the ball was passed to a dangerous position.

Manchester United also had two threatening shots.

Once, Rooney carried Livermore's shot, and Rooney failed in the confrontation. His body's center of gravity was a bit biased, and the consequence of being tough was to shoot an anti-aircraft gun.

Another time was C-Ronaldo's direct shot after cooperating with his teammates. Goalkeeper Graham reacted quickly and saved the ball to the far corner and accurately saved the ball out of the goal.

Millwall fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the beginning of the second half, Millwall's goal has been very dangerous. Manchester United's crazy offensive has made Millwall's defense difficult and directly affected its offensive performance.

There is a saying in professional football that says, "Offensive is the best defense, and Manchester United is showing it to the fullest.

———

Zhang Yang's face was very serious, and the game was very unfavorable to Millwall.

Although the team has a goal advantage, it cannot withstand such a fierce attack by Manchester United.

Now Manchester United is suppressing with absolute strength. Their lineup is stronger, the ability of individual players is better, and the overall offense is stronger.

Mirwall has to face the offensive from three routes, and the most troublesome thing is the left side, that is, Manchester United's right forward C-Ronaldo. The Portuguese star has involved too much defensive energy alone.

If the game continues like this, the outcome really depends on luck.

Now, the team's main focus is defense. Both Braniff and Simpson retreated to their own half, and the "dual core" has lost its meaning.

Zhang Yang is considering a replacement.

He looked at the game carefully, glanced at the bench, and finally made a decision, shouting to Morris, "Go warm up! Get ready to play!"

Then he thought about it and pointed at Valdion next to him, "You go too!"

"I?"

Vardy didn't react for a moment, but immediately pointed at himself excitedly, "Boss? I'm going to play too?"

Zhang Yang frowned.

Vardy walked over and said excitedly, "By the way, boss, the goal celebration I told you last time, I went back and thought about it again..."

Zhang Yang pulled the corner of his mouth and stared at Valdi.

Wise stood up with a wry smile, almost dragging Vardy to warm up. Vardy kept saying, "...the second celebration move... I think I can change it and change it to kissing my fingers..."

“…”

Zhang Yang took a deep breath and felt that being angry with a person with a funny brain was really hindering his perfect gentlemanly demeanor. If a player with such a brain circuit was serious, he would make himself so angry that he vomited blood.

"Is that!"

In the end, he couldn't help but scold the country.
