Chapter 497 Representative of Head Coach Rejuvenation

Millwall's championship scene ended with Morris lifting the championship trophy.

The next day the media reported frantically.

Millwall's championship report mainly revolves around the course of the entire season. Millwall won the championship "undefeated". At least so far, Millwall has not lost a game in the 36 rounds of the league.

This is a point to watch.

Another point to watch is the clichéd 'rapid rise'. As a newly promoted, Millwall won the league championship for two consecutive seasons. In the eyes of many people, it is very incredible.

Last season, Millwall suddenly broke out to win the championship, and they were considered to be other teams in the Premier League. I don’t know about Millwall. It’s like Wigan Athletic. They just got promoted at the beginning of the season and their results are very good, but it’s not their strength. How strong it is, but other teams don't know about Wigan Athletic, coupled with not bad performance, they have achieved very good results.

Millwall was more extreme, and the good results continued throughout the season.

At the beginning of this season, many media analyzed Millwall's strengthening strength, and only believed that they were qualified to compete for the top four in the league, rather than being able to continue to participate in the championship competition.

The media that did similar commentary and analysis have all shut up now, and they started to praise Millwall instead.

Millwall has already won the championship, and it is meaningless to say anything else.

The next report is to take stock of the heroes who won the championship.

Millwall's good results continued throughout the season, and many players performed outstandingly. Among the first echelon players, Darren Bent, Braniff, Livermore and other excellent players are naturally indispensable; Vardy , Simpson, Morris, Pires and other players have all been placed in the second echelon. Morris's performance is still very controversial. Leaving aside his strength, his performance in the competition is not bad. Speaking of which, Morris' performance on the field is indeed a bit flat, and there is still some gap with the dazzling players in the first echelon.

The above is about the midfield.

Millwall's defense has been unanimously praised, because Millwall only conceded 21 goals in the league, tied with Chelsea as the team with the fewest goals conceded, the credit for the defense is great.

Goalkeeper Graham was praised, Darren Ward, Zambrotta, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, and players such as Barragan and Traore were all praised by the media.

In the Millwall team, even fringe players such as Curtis Weston have column comments from the media, and the reports of other players needless to say.

The most discussed in the team is Zhang Yang as the head coach.

Zhang Yang is considered to be the biggest contributor to Millwall's championship. This point is even indisputable. In many media reports, there is not even a voice of doubt.

It was Zhang Yang who led the rise of Millwall.

From relegation to promotion in the English Championship, from newly promoted Premiership to champion, and now successfully defending the title, the UEFA Champions League has also reached the semi-finals, and the first round against AC Milan was very good. Millwall has always been growing, and Zhang Yang has also followed suit. It becomes extremely dazzling.

Zhang Yang is only 24 years old.

At the age of 24, as the head coach, few people believe it, let alone the head coach, being able to serve as a "coach", even a better "juvenile team coach" is very remarkable.

From this perspective, Bruno Burleigh is actually quite remarkable.

Of course, returning to the topic of publicity, many people sighed, "Professional football seems to have ushered in a young age!"

Before crossing the century, when it comes to professional football coaches, most people would have the impression that they would be 50 years old or even older coaches, such as the famous coaches at that time-Robson, Ferguson, Capello, Wenger, Redknapp, Lippi, etc.

Each of the above names can cause shocks in European football.

When entering the new century, the situation is different.

The newly emerging coaches in world football seem to be younger than each other-Mourinho, Love, McClaren, David Moyes, all of them became famous at around 40 years old.

This shows that the head coach's age of fame is decreasing.

40 years old is actually a benchmark age. The retirement age of professional players is generally between 34 and 38 years old. After the players retire, some of them will become coaches. Those who are relatively well-known and capable are likely to have the qualifications to serve as head coaches. For example, former Manchester United star Roy Keane, who retired last year, quickly became a head coach and led Sunderland to the Champions League.

After officially becoming the head coach, with the ability to use a few years, he was able to lead the team to achieve good results, and recently stood out in the football coaching world.

This is the 'practical school' coach.

In the coaching industry, there is also a kind of "academic" coaches, that is, those players who have no professional player experience or who have retired early in their careers, go to serve as full-time football coaches.

Among the "academic" coaches, Mourinho and Benitez are representative. Without brilliant professional player experience, if you want to become a coach directly, you need a certificate. Both of them have gone through complicated and difficult During the learning process, do some other jobs in the middle, and only after you are over 35 years old will you have the opportunity to really get in touch with the coaching work.

So their age of fame is also around 40 years old.

Zhang Yang is the special one.

Zhang Yang has neither a professional player experience nor a UEFA certificate learning experience. He is neither a "practical school" nor an "academic school", and he is certainly not in the middle of the two schools. The way to become famous is to use Weibo to comment on football games.

When he became famous, he entered the Millwall Club by chance, and then took over the position of head coach and started his coaching career.

"Zhang Yang's experience of becoming a head coach may be able to write an autobiography. The content must be quite exciting!" The old coach Redknapp was interviewed by the media and commented on Zhang Yang, "There are thresholds in any industry. The head coach It’s the same in industry. You have to learn a lot and have certain qualifications, like a high school dropout without any qualifications, how can you get into the research and development department of a technology company?”

"Yeah, that was incredible. That's how Zhang Yang became the manager, he came in in a weird way. Sorry I used 'weird' but that's how it is and I'm sure others will see it that way too .”

"What is rare is that he succeeded. Very successful, it makes people feel incredible! The British Championship, two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the League Cup, he only took two and a half years!"

"Anyone who sees Millwall's results will think it is very crazy. I believe that in the next ten years, 20 years, even if it is farther away, it will be difficult to find crazier."

Redknapp's interview was only the tip of the iceberg of Zhang Yang's reports. More media were willing to mention Zhang Yang's age. The Times published an article commenting, "Zhang Yang's success represents the youthfulness of football coaches! "

The analysis article of "The Times" not only mentioned Zhang Yang, but also listed some well-known young coaches in their thirties, and analyzed, "Real examples show that the head coach does not necessarily need to be old. Team leadership experience is very important, but it depends more on talent. For example, some old coaches may not be good at leading the team, or even stable. Young people can always bring some new ideas to professional football. s things."

"The most impressive thing about Zhang Yang leading Millwall this season is the tactics they played, 'dual core', a very old but very new vocabulary. Many teams want to be able to play the core, and there are many Football people have expounded the concept of dual cores, but this term has always remained in the 'concept' before, and has not been actually proven."

"It's like the physical laws of the universe. There are always theoretical physicists who will come up with all kinds of wonderful ideas, some of which seem to be dreamed up. It's very interesting to say it, but it can't be proved at all, but Zhang Yang But he made it happen.”

"Zhang Yang is only 24 years old, and his future is still very bright. It is hard for us to imagine what it will be like in ten or 20 years, but there is no doubt that Zhang Yang will still be very famous and a man of the world in football, because he He's still in his 40s -- an age when a lot of professional coaches are just starting out."

In the reports of various major media, there are also some detailed analyzes of Millwall--
Lineup, fighting spirit, tactics, etc.

The media is happy to explain to the fans why Millwall can achieve good results.

Zhang Yang dismissed these at all.

That's what experts are.

Experts always analyze it after the fact, but their analysis is wrong at the beginning. Millwall's performance is good, there are tactical reasons, and there are also reasons for the lineup, but the key is the role of supernatural powers. Without knowing this secret, analyze It is tantamount to talking nonsense.

From this point of view, there is a certain reason why experts like to talk nonsense.

After Millwall won the league championship, the pressure on the team was much less. Then they don't need to be distracted, just focus on dealing with the Champions League.

During the breaks in the competition schedule, Zhang Yang also had a rare leisure time, so he cared about his investment work.

A large part of the first investment was testing. Zhang Yang did not understand the specific effects of the judgments of "big luck" and "little luck" in the results of "trading divination". He asked Tagore to make some investments that predicted the benefits in advance. .

It's been less than a week so far.

A week is very short, but the stock price has already risen quite a bit. Among them, CHAOHUO.Q, the largest investment amount, has risen by eleven points in a few days, which makes Zhang Yang feel happy and has great confidence in future investment. confidence.

So the second step of the plan is about to start.

On the same day, Zhang Yang asked Andy and Wu Haibo to fly to the United States to go to the New York Stock Exchange to apply for qualifications for buying options and futures for Zhang's investment. After that, Andy and Wu Haibo will be in New York for a long time. After work, this is the step that really makes money. If there is no leverage operation, even if the assets increase by [-] points per month, because the basic amount of funds is limited, the increase will not be much in a year, and it is completely impossible to raise funds before the financial crisis. To get enough funds, you must use leverage to risk ten times the risk to gain ten times the return.

Of course, for Zhang Yang, there is almost no risk. He only needs to use the "trade divination" to constantly judge the transaction and command the transaction remotely.

Next, Zhang Yang devoted himself to the team's preparations.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final between Millwall and AC Milan was held on May [-], and the interval was only eight days. When the aftermath of Millwall's championship has not subsided, the focus of media reports has returned to the Champions League. .

After Millwall successfully defended the title, Millwall fans began to look forward to the Champions League.

If Millwall can win the Champions League, plus the League Cup and the League, they will be the real treble champions, and they will become the first team to win the treble since Manchester United in 99.

Millwall was looking forward to it.

Many British media also reported on this point, but the prerequisite for Millwall to win the championship is that they must first pass AC Milan.

In the first round at the Neil Stadium, Millwall beat AC Milan 3-1, but the advantage of two goals was not enough for Millwall to advance. AC Milan still has a chance at home. Starting from the score, AC Milan only needs 2-0 to eliminate Millwall and advance to the final.

So Millwall can't be careless, and must face up to the second round of the game.

As the time of the game drew near, the media published more and more relevant reports, and the atmosphere of the battle became more and more intense.
