Driven by abundant fighting spirit and enthusiasm, Millwall performed very well overall, but it was not easy to score goals. Millwall began to play some offensives, but an offensive did not mean that he could score goals.

Manchester United's defense is also doing a good job.

As a representative team of England, Manchester United has done a pretty good defense. Their defensive players are no worse than offensive players in terms of fame. The most representative one is central defender Leo Ferdinand.

Leo Ferdinand is a talented defender. He entered West Ham United's first team at the age of 18 to start his career. Four years later, he joined Leeds United Club for 18 million pounds of transfer fee record of the UK. Two years later, Ferdinand once again broke the UK's transfer record and joined Manchester United Club for 29.1 million pounds.

The value of a player does not represent everything, but in international football, due to factors such as business influence, the value of defenders has always been underestimated, which shows how strong Ferdinand is.

In addition to Ferdinand, Manchester United's back line also has outstanding players such as Sylvester, O'Shea, and Brown. I dare not say that this defense line is the best in England, and only Chelsea can compare.

With Millwall having an offensive, it is still a bit too difficult to break Manchester United's defense line.

Eighty minutes passed.

When there were only ten minutes left, the most tense moment was re-entered. Everyone knew that there was a great hope of scoring a goal in the last time, and Manchester United and Millwall didn't want to accept the draw.

Many football analysts have expressed their opinions, "The result of the tie is quite good for Millwall."

This is not surprising at all.

Manchester United is the "overlord" of the Premier League. He has not won the Premier League championship in the past two seasons, but he has also entered the top three. Millwall is just a newly promoted team. In the direct competition with Manchester United, he can accept the draw.

They also recognized Millwall's performance.

Few teams can play with Manchester United to this point. If Manchester United performs poorly, it is like losing in the game against Middlesbrough. But Manchester United's performance is not bad, and it is even surprising that it is not possible to play in every game. But Mirwal still stabilized the defense line. While scoring a goal in the first half, he only scored one goal by Manchester United.

This performance is surprising enough. Even the media that do not support Millwall and have extremely bad sense of ostentatiousness have to admit that Millwall has performed very well and is not something that ordinary teams can do when they can play with Manchester United to this level.

However, the public still doesn't like Millwall.

With ten minutes left of the game, Manchester United has already been in an "invincible position". The only factor affecting the results of the game is whether Manchester United can complete the goal in the next time.

Millwall has no chance.

During this period of time, it was good to do a good job of defense. There were occasionally two counterattack opportunities, so it was too difficult to complete the goal.

That can almost be described as a miracle.

Does Millwall still have a chance to win? Most people are not optimistic. Even Millwall fans think that being able to draw is a happy result, but Millwall players on the court did not give up. They still insist on fighting with Manchester United, seized every offensive opportunity, and seriously devoted themselves to the game.

Manchester United also wanted to score a goal, and the fight between the two sides became very fierce.

In the 82nd minute, Darren Ward was too big when defending Van Nie, and the referee showed a yellow card. The players on both sides had an argument. Alan Smith pushed Livermore and the referee warned Alan Smith, who stopped the show, but Alan Smith seemed to have not given up. Only two minutes after the game started again, Alan Smith rushed to Livermore with revenge when he was defending.

Livermore just shook his body and was not knocked to the ground. Instead, Alan Smith fell to the ground and covered his shoulders and shouted in pain. The most speechless thing is that Smith also told the referee that it was Livermore's foul. Even if the Premier League referee has a good impression of Manchester United, he cannot favor Manchester United players so publicly. The referee is still a little angry. Smith regards him as a fool and shows him a yellow card without hesitation.

No other Manchester United players argued in shamelessly.

After the referee showed two yellow cards in a row, the players on both sides became calmer, and they also knew that there was no benefit in fighting in the game.

———

Since the second half of the second half, I found that the team performed well overall, Smitchell began to try to organize the entire team to counterattack.

Counterattack, not counterattack.

The difference in word is different. The prerequisite for counterattack is to defend first, and counterattack is to advance head-on. Smitchell is the core of the team and a veteran with rich Premier League games. His ability to read games is not comparable to other people.

As the game entered the final stage, Smitchell knew clearly that it was almost impossible to continue to defend and rely on counterattack to find opportunities, because the opponent was Manchester United. Unless he was behind in the score, Manchester United would not make that kind of mistake. Even in the offense, Manchester United would guarantee the defense in the backcourt. It is very unrealistic for the team to rely on a sudden counterattack goal, and the only option was to advance head-on.

How to fight for the frontal push?

Millwall does not have a star player like C Ronaldo and Van Nie. The strength and performance of the frontcourt teammates are pretty good, but they are just good. The hope of getting rid of Manchester United's defense alone is extremely slim, and relying on the explosion of a single player is not practical.

Therefore, if you want to score a goal, you can only rely on frontal advancement, and players from all positions in the team will cooperate.

Smitchell felt that there was a chance because his teammates performed very well. With the support of their fighting spirit, everyone would work hard and be very cautious.

Smitchell kept trying to do that.

In the 87th minute of the game, Millwall launched a smooth attack, and Smitchell also played in a good state. When he observed that Manchester United's defense was empty on the left, he spread the ball without hesitation.

Braniff received the pass!

The pass was quite accurate, allowing Braniff to easily pass Fletcher and receive the pass. Fletcher wanted to turn around and chase the ball, but Braniff led forward immediately.

Brown ran over to entangle Braniff.

Braniff has a comprehensive ability, and his feet are not very skilled, but he is already enough. Especially with a flexible brain, and occasionally his IQ cannot keep up, it does not mean that he does not have the wisdom of the game. The moment he receives the pass, Braniff knows that it is a good opportunity.

Manchester United's defense on the right was empty, with only Brown and Fletcher. Fletcher was in the front position and was thrown away by himself at the first time, leaving only Brown. As long as he could pass Brown, the situation would become very good.

Brown is not easy to deal with.

Braniff is very confident, but he is so arrogant that he is "invincible in the world". He still has a certain judgment on his ability. If he wants to dribble a well-known defender with rich experience, he has the opportunity, but it is just a small one.

Braniff glanced around and around.

When Brown stepped forward, he showed a helpless expression on his face, as if he didn't want to pass the ball, but there was nothing he could do. Then he handed the ball to Elliott who was inserted horizontally.

Brown was deceived by Braniff's expression!

Seeing Braniff's expression, he seemed to be helpless in defending himself, Brown was suddenly a little fluttering, but the next moment, Braniff ran over him and waved to Elliot, "Come here!"

When Brown realized that it was not good, the football had returned to Braniff's feet.

Braniff showed off his superior IQ and felt very refreshed inside. Brown chased back with a gloomy face and annoyed, but when he was about to catch up, Braniff had already kicked the ball into the middle.

Smitchell received the pass and used a small change of direction to dodge Alan Smith's interception, then accurately transferred sideways to find Joey Healy.

This pass is quite wonderful!

Smitchell and Joey Healy had a distance of more than 20 meters, but the football rolled accurately in front of Joey Healy. The latter easily received the ball and kicked back to David Livermore's feet.

Livermore's position was diagonally facing the penalty area. He could already shoot at this position, but Livermore did not rush to shoot because the angle was not very good and he was not sure. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to hand the ball back to Smitchell.

Smitchell got the ball again.

Unlike the previous two times, Smitchell is only twenty meters away from the goal and does not have time for Manchester United players to defend. When the football was handed over to Smitchell's feet, almost everyone thought he would choose to shoot.

This is the best opportunity for Millwall in recent times!

At that moment, Smitchell also planned to shoot, but when he raised his right foot, he found a figure running into the penalty area from the right side, and immediately changed his approach, put away his strength and hung the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

The football fell straight to the right side of the penalty area!

When he saw an opponent's figure appearing at the football landing point, Manchester United players suddenly realized that it was not good, but most people couldn't do anything. The only thing they could do was Leo Ferdinand, but Ferdinand's position was two meters away, so there was no time to get stuck at the position. He could only rush over and jump up, trying to use his body to stop the opponent.

That player is Branif.

Braniff's mind was very fast. If Ferdinand had not been able to, he would have chosen to head the ball without hesitation.

But seeing Ferdinand rushing over, the two of them would definitely collide. Braniff didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he could only take off early and stagger the best shot time. He had only time to put his head in the right position.

The football fell and bounced out on Braniff's head. Ferdinand also sided and hit Braniff's shoulder.

Neither of them could maintain balance and fell on the grass.

Smitchell behind him immediately shouted at the referee, "Foul!"

That was indeed a foul!

As expected, Millwall will get a penalty, but no one cares about Ferdinand's foul because the football was hit by Darren Bent's feet.

When Braniff and Ferdinand collided, almost no one would pay attention to Darren Bent. He easily shot at the rolling football and completed a push shot less than five meters away. At such a close distance, goalkeeper Van der Sar was powerless and could only watch the football roll into the goal again.

When the penalty area was still in chaos and many players did not realize what was going on, the fans in the audience had already exploded.

“Hula…”

"The ball is in-!!!!"

The shouts at the scene made several players who were confused about the foul Ferdinand, whether the referee would award a penalty kick? They felt a moment of confusion, and then they realized what happened. "Darren Bent helped Millwall score the second goal!"

Braniff got up from the grass in an instant.

Smitchell turned around and rushed towards Darren Bent, and hugged the other person hard as soon as possible.

The other Millwall players also ran forward frantically, cheering in their tone, "The ball has entered! 2-1! Millwall has led Manchester United again!"

"Leading! Leading again!"

At the 88th minute of the game, what it means to lead Manchester United again is clear: this goal is likely to become the final kill! It would be too difficult for Manchester United to tie again!
Chapter completed!
