Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 562 Righteousness in hand, I own the world!
Luca Toni's goal was also the only goal in the first half, but anyone who watched the game knows that the score is not the only criterion for judging the game. Under the pressure of Millwall, Portsmouth has almost no Fight back.

It is difficult for Portsmouth to tie.

If they don't concede a goal in the first half, there is still some hope of a tie, but after conceding a goal, they are too passive.

Portsmouth coach Redknapp understands the current situation very well. When they are not behind, the team can still work hard to defend and strive for such a glimmer of hope. It will be different if one goal is conceded. Well, in such a passive game, will the team still have fighting spirit?
This is the most serious.

It is also difficult for Redknapp now. If he loses the game, he will lose. He is worried that losing the game will affect the overall morale, affect the mentality of the players, and affect the subsequent games.

For Portsmouth, playing well in the previous league games can almost determine the final result, because after Christmas, it is lucky that their results do not slip.

After returning to the locker room, seeing a tired and panting player, Redknapp knew that tactical adjustments were not important anymore, and he had to reduce the psychological pressure on the players.

"You all experienced the first half of the game, how do you feel?" Redknapp started with a question, and then answered by himself, "Very tired! Very helpless! The opponent is very strong! I used to be a player, I understand how you feel."

"When you meet a strong opponent, you have to face it. No matter how hard you try, there is no result in the end. In fact, it is very normal in football games. You are all mature players and have experienced many games. You should all know."

"this is nothing."

Redknapp put on a look of indifference, "It's normal! Millwall! You should have read a lot of reports, and there are many comments about Millwall, but even if the media that speaks badly about Millwall will Saying 'they're qualified for the league title', huh?"

"Are we qualified? No. You know, Millwall was the treble winner last season, won the league, won the Champions League, they beat AC Milan, Real Madrid, such a strong team, and they are at home , what do we lose and forget?"

"I knew I would lose. Yes, I was prepared. This game is just an experience for you, to let you know what it feels like to play against the strongest team in the Premier League. No matter how difficult the opponent you will meet next That's all."

"This is beneficial to us. So in the second half, you try to adapt as much as possible, don't think about winning, just adapt to the game and experience the feeling of a difficult game. This will be very good for each of you and your mentality for the new season. help."

"..."

Redknapp not only cheered the team up, telling them that it’s okay to lose the game, don’t play with pressure, and made targeted adjustments, but in the face of the gap in strength and backwardness, he can only let The team strengthened the blockade at the front of the penalty area to limit the forward passing of Millwall's midfielder. The offense still needs to find counterattack opportunities.

After the start of the second half, Portsmouth played very tenaciously, and they did not seem to be affected much. Their defensive performance was very tough, but defense and offense are relative. To increase defense requires sacrificing offense. Portsmouth showed A look of stubbornness.

Portsmouth players really don't care about winning or losing.

Before the game, they all hoped to draw or even win Millwall to prove that Portsmouth is not easy to deal with, but now the score is behind and the opponent is doing very well. They have almost no chance, so it is like the head coach As Redknapp once said, they just need to adapt to the game, experience the competition against the top teams in the Premier League, and then they will feel much better when they encounter opponents that are easy to deal with.

Millwall and Portsmouth started a halftime offensive and defensive battle. In the process of continuous offense and defense, Portsmouth occasionally got a chance. Forward Nugent's personal ability is not bad. After receiving a pass from his teammates After that, he also made two threats. Although he didn't get a chance to shoot, it also made Millwall's defense vigilant.

That's all.

Nugent was Portsmouth's only force of resistance. When Millwall focused on marking, Nugent had nothing to do. He could only stand in front and watch the goal fall into crisis again and again.

In the 71st minute of the game, Millwall scored again.

This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick, Simpson hoisted the foot ball to the middle of the penalty area, and Zambrotta, who inserted in the back, rushed up with a header and headed the ball directly into the goal.

"Quite crisp!"

The media commentator had a high evaluation of this goal, "Zambrota! As a defender, there are very few chances to score. This time, Zambrotta went up to fight for the point and used his header ability to help the goal. Millwall."

"From this game, we can see that compared to last season, Millwall has improved in grabbing high points. Last season, we couldn't see that they had a few headers, but now they often use high-altitude balls to find opportunities. This should be attributed to the addition of striker Tony, who is a player with a very good header ability, and his height of 1.9 meters also supports him to have the advantage of attacking in the air."

"Other Millwall players, including Morris, Simpson and others, are not good at heading the ball. Vardy is also very average. He has a lot of points of contention, but most of them are the number of times he cooperates with his teammates and directly heads the ball. not much."

"Tony's joining has made Millwall's air strike capability, coupled with Zambrotta's supplement, Millwall's opponents should also pay more attention to air defense..."

----

The rest of the game ended in the offensive and defensive battle between Millwall and Portsmouth. Zambrotta's header became the last goal of the game.

2:0.

Millwall beat their first league opponent.

After the game, Zhang Yang and Redknapp shook hands in a friendly way. The two are friends in private. When the game becomes rivals, they will definitely be hostile to each other before the game because they represent their respective teams. But after the game is over, everything is equal to it's over.

When Redknapp shook hands with Zhang Yang, he said with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect that Millwall would be so strong. It deserves to be the 'Triple Crown' last season. You may also be able to win this season." Did you get a very good result?"

"Thank you." Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Portsmouth is also good..."

"You don't have to compliment my team, that's almost sarcasm." Redknapp interrupted, "My team, I understand, the problem of relegation should not be a big problem, and good results depend on luck. But there is definitely no hope of competing for the top few. After watching this game, I know that the media is talking nonsense, and I believe that you can get the best results."

What does the best grade mean?
Of course the champion!
Faced with such praise, Zhang Yang just smiled. For him, the championship is definitely what he wants to pursue, but it is not the only pursuit. It is more important to break the undefeated record and complete the system tasks. Sincerely just incidental.

At the post-match press conference, Zhang Yang once again praised Portsmouth, "We saw in the game that Portsmouth is a very tenacious team. If anyone regards them as a newly promoted team, it is definitely a big mistake!"

"Although we won the game, Portsmouth also performed very well. If they insist on dealing with the league in this way, there will probably be many opponents who will lose to them."

After admiring Portsmouth, Zhang Yang kept silent about his team.

There was almost only one topic that the media asked -- the new formation, how could Zhang Yang disclose the new formation to the media in advance?By then the whole world will know, what are the characteristics of the new formation, let them analyze it slowly, when they really analyze it, it is like the 451 'dual-core' style of play last season, the season is almost over .

The opponents encountered during the season do not know how to deal with Millwall, which is in the best interest of the team.

Zhang Yang still commented on some players. He praised Luca Toni, who performed well, "He is in very good form. I believe that Luca and Jamie's partner will become the best striker combination!"

For Zambrotta, "His performance has been very stable, and it is not surprising that he can score goals."

To Braniff, "For this game, Kevin was on the bench, but it's nothing, just a normal rotation, I can't count on a player every game, although he is very good."

and many more.

After the game, the British media reported on Millwall's performance one after another, and many foreign media reported on Millwall's performance, because Millwall is the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League in the new season, and many foreign teams need to pay attention.

Most of the European media did not arrange Millwall to be the favorite to win the Champions League. For one thing, they thought that Millwall was similar to Porto, a small club, and it was God's blessing to win the Champions League once in a while.

The second is, to win two Champions Leagues in a row?
Even the top giants dare not say that, Millwall wants to continue to win the Champions League, "it is simply impossible!"

Many media asserted.

But Millwall's strength is still worthy of recognition. Many teams may encounter Millwall in the Champions League, and there is no harm in knowing the opponent's state in advance.

This season, foreign media reports on Millwall will be much more than last season.

This is the embodiment of the expansion of influence.

----

The number of reporters in front of the Millwall club has always been quite a lot. They all hope to find opportunities to interview players, and even the head coach Zhang Yang. With the start of the league, Millwall performed well, and the number of reporters increased sharply. In the morning there will be a large group of reporters, even if they know that Millwall is not conducting public training, they will stand there and wait for their opportunity.

The group of journalists is not limited to small and medium British media, but also many big media and foreign media.

In the past two years, Millwall's news has always been fascinating.

The reporters were all standing outside the door, looking a little pitiful. They always applied to watch the training, or applied to be interviewed, but every time the reply was rejected.

Zhang Yang would not let reporters watch the training casually.

Now Millwall's tactical training is still in the 'secrecy period', other clubs don't know the team's style of play, it is in the best interest of the team, the game can be easier, and it is not easy for the opponent to make targeted arrangements However, if everyone knows Millwall's style of play and the tactics are thoroughly researched, then the game will become much more difficult. When encountering bad luck, losing is possible.

Zhang Yang will try his best to avoid the possibility of losing the game, but during the training process, he still met an outsider, who was not a reporter. He applied to meet with Zhang Yang for the purpose of 'the preparations for the football school'.

It was a Chinese man in a suit and leather shoes, with a proud face.

"We plan to build thirteen football schools in SZ and SH and surrounding cities, dedicated to the training of young people. Our project is supported by the Chinese Football Association, and many well-known football players and clubs are involved, but funding has always been a problem. Big problem."

"Mr. Zhang, you are the best head coach in China and the top person in the football world. You should take the lead."

"Our football school project is to contribute to the development of Chinese football, and the donation will be made public..."

The middle-aged man talked for a long time, Zhang Yang was a little confused, but he understood the meaning. The other party came to ask for money, and hoped that he would donate some money for the construction of the football school project. The meaning was almost, let him Donate money to support the project, when the time comes, the project will disclose the name of the donor, a bit like a domestic disaster, how much a certain star donated.

Zhang Yang understood a little bit, and he was a little interested, so he started asking for details.

For example, donated funds, what is the specific operation process.

For example, can someone be sent to supervise the investment process of the entire project, and the donated money can't be lost without knowing it.

Another example is whether the use of funds will be made public.

and many more.

The other party was a little vague, and if they couldn't answer, they simply answered with 'don't know'.

Zhang Yang suddenly lost interest. He said impatiently, "I can donate money. For the development of Chinese football, a little money is nothing, but I must know where my money is used. Wait until you figure it out." Come again."

The middle-aged man could only leave angrily.

----

Zhang Yang didn't care. He just felt that he had encountered a liar. After that, he went back to the training ground and continued to watch the team's normal training. What he didn't expect was that things really had some impact.

The middle-aged man's name is Liang Jiayong.

Liang Jiayong is an official in charge of youth football within the Football Association. He is a middle-level official within the Football Association. He is also a small leader in the department. The country has always paid attention to the development of football. Of course, the Chinese Football Association is also very concerned. They are planning to make a football School construction projects in order to promote the cultivation of youth football.

This project is in the planning stage.

Funds must be raised in the early stage. The Chinese Football Association "spiritually" supports the development of youth football, but there is almost no return on the investment in youth football development. Ordinary football schools must also have the backing of clubs, otherwise it will be difficult to be self-satisfied profit and loss.

Funding is a big issue.

Thirteen football schools, even with the support of the local government, the investment of one school can easily reach tens of millions of RMB, and the total amount is nearly one billion RMB.

For such a large amount of capital investment, the Football Association alone must not be able to support it all at once, and it must have external financial support.

"Organizing donations from football players" is the idea of ​​Zhang Jian, the head of the department. As long as the rich people who are engaged in football, all come to donate, even if a person has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of RMB, there are hundreds of people. It is easy to raise hundreds of millions of RMB, plus soliciting donations from fans in the society, the preparation of funds is not a big problem at all.

Then it's easy.

Zhang Jian, the leader of the youth football department of the Football Association, actually has his own thoughts.

In the entire Football Association, the youth department is the least lucrative, because there are only a few young people who only invest but have no output. Once the project is actually implemented, there are too many places that can be used.

Hundreds of millions of RMB!

At that time, if a few schools are built less, it can also be said that the local area will not be allocated land, and the schools to be built can be built casually, and a few buildings and dormitories will not cost much money.

and many more.

In addition, it is normal that the project funds are in place and it cannot be implemented. There are too many reasons. There are very few private football schools in China that can really operate. Most of them end up losing money and closing their doors. Way!
Of course, it's not bad to be really capable. There are more than a dozen football schools. When the time comes, they will train a group of young football players. After all, they will have great achievements!

In any case, funding comes first. With sufficient financial support, it is easy to talk about anything.

It is also very important to get the approval of the superior in the early stage, otherwise the project will not start at all, and what is the most important thing for the approval of the leader?
Have funds!
As long as the leader is not allowed to contribute funds, it is easy to negotiate any project, and a certain amount of funds still needs to be raised in the early stage.

Zhang Jian sent all his employees out to invite various football professionals to raise funds for the project. Of course, the name was "contribute to the cultivation of Chinese youth football".

This slogan is too resounding, almost similar to 'development of the motherland in the future'.

Righteousness is in hand, I have the world!
Some of the key fundraising objects are naturally the most capable employees under him. Liang Jiayong is Zhang Jian's first confidant. He flew directly to London to find Zhang Yang to raise funds.

Zhang Yang is a top coach in China, and his salary is a bit scary. As far as Zhang Jian knows, Zhang Yang's annual salary plus endorsement fee must exceed 500 million pounds, which is 7000 to [-] million in RMB.

With such a high salary, you can donate a few million with a little bit of money, right?

Zhang Yang is still a football coach, and he will definitely support the development of youth football. Donating funds for the development of youth football will be very beneficial to his domestic reputation.

Then tens of millions can also be discussed.

When the time comes to accept an interview, it would be nice to talk more about Zhang Yang's emphasis on the development of domestic youth football.

For these top football stars, nothing is more important than a good name.
