Chapter 580 Give Your Opponent A Chance And Give Yourself A Chance

The process of buying a house and going through the formalities is still a bit of a headache.

Zhang Yang didn't have that much time to deal with it, so he simply found a more professional Ebenezer and became his own "agent" to talk to the original owner and go through complicated procedures by the way. He just paid the final payment and it was OK.

Next, Zhang Yang enjoyed the warm life with Ivanka and the children, and also put his mind on the team.

Millwall has already returned to training, but the team is not well-organized, so players who have not participated in the national team can only warm up and consolidate their tactical knowledge. Some players should consolidate their foundation, such as some new players. He still doesn’t understand deeply. Another example is Livermore. He has been studying, but his brain can’t keep up. In addition to consolidating tactical knowledge, practical tactical training is difficult. Zhang Yang simply let Aldous, with The youth team and the first team train together, and organize a training match every day, so that the team can try their best to ensure their state and adapt to tactics and games.

In the next few days, players who entered the national team returned one after another.

Among them, some players are in good spirits, such as Graham and Morris. Ta, Braniff and others, almost as long as they participated in the national team's game, plus taking the plane back and forth, their physical condition would be affected to some extent.

Zhang Yang found Choderick and asked him to make a recovery plan for a few players in poor physical condition, and the other players would return to training.

Millwall is still relatively affected.

This is the legendary "International Match Day Syndrome". Too many players enter the national team, even if only half of them appear on the field, and the back and forth planes will definitely have a big impact. For example, some medium and small clubs, There is no such problem. Only a few of their players can enter the national team. Even if their status is affected, the entire team can still form most of the main lineup.

The match arrangement did not leave time for the team to adjust. With all the players returning to the team, the sixth round of the Premier League will soon come. Millwall will face Newcastle United at home.

Newcastle United is a team that has attracted much attention in the summer. Their performance was not very good last season. In order to make Newcastle United more competitive, coach Allardyce performed major surgery on the team. There are strong stars on all three fronts Join.

First, Newcastle United snatched Manchester United star Alan Smith.

Smith's three years at Manchester United were very depressing. The Leeds idol ended up being sold off. He is holding back his energy to prove himself, "Trees move to death, people move to life", maybe Newcastle is where he broke out place.

Newcastle United also poached Viduka from their rival Middlesbrough in the Northeast. For this reason, the Newcastle people are "invigorated". The 31-year-old Australian center is too old, but his performance is still very good. Middlesbrough scored 19 goals, and scored 5 goals in the last 7 starts. He is a major contributor to the team's relegation. Middlesbrough has a total of 80 starts and 20 substitutes in his career, scoring 42 goals. The efficiency is quite good. There is no doubt that the joining of Viduka will raise Newcastle's air combat capabilities to a higher level.

In addition, Newcastle United also signed Button, the bad boy of Manchester City. Dyce said, "I am confident that I will use the iron bowl to rule the army and lead Patton to the right path. If it really makes Patton's prodigal son come back!"

The media generally believe that if Allardyce can do it, Newcastle will be the biggest beneficiary, because Button once used his strength to knock on the door of the England national team.

In addition to the above-mentioned high-profile stars, Newcastle United also poached the right-sided versatile Gremi and Lyon’s Casapa from Chelsea for free, and bought Spanish rookie Enrique for 630 million, and signed Czech international Rozenal for 300 million. .

The latter two expenses are a bit more expensive.

These can be regarded as two investments. Enrique has great potential, and Rozenal has participated in the World Cup and has performed extremely steadily. They are both players worth investing in.

Newcastle United's lineup has changed a bit. It's hard to say how they will perform in the new season. But in the past, they performed well in the league. With one round less, they achieved two wins and two draws. They ranked at the top of the Premier League. Such a result also made the media and fans look forward to the new season of Newcastle United.

When Millwall met Newcastle United, many media were "optimistic" about Newcastle United.

Rather than being "optimistic", it is better to say "hope" that Millwall will lose. Most of the British media do not want to see Millwall play well, because Millwall has won two league titles in a row. The first round of the league is also the best performance among the [-] teams in the Premier League. It can be said that the new season has just begun, and Millwall has shown the demeanor of the defending champion. If it continues, won't it really rule the Premier League?
Absolutely not!

At this time, a team should stand up and beat Millwall strongly, giving them a major blow!
Newcastle United is 'optimistic'.

Newcastle United also has a great chance, because Millwall is experiencing the 'international match day syndrome' and the lineup has been greatly affected. Other positions are better, but the middle of the midfield is more troublesome. Sneijder, Bradney Husbands need to rest, and Morris is a bit unlucky. Before the game, he sprained his ankle and had to rest for a few days.

Sneijder, Braniff, Morris...Millwall's four midfielders have no one in the middle.

Zhang Yang thought a lot, and simply gave up the "dual-core" style of play, and chose the ordinary 442 formation, allowing Simpson and Livermore to partner in the middle of the midfield, and the right flank gave the newly joined Gary O'Neill a chance.

When seeing Millwall's lineup, Newcastle United's confidence is even stronger.

The head coach Allardyce was full of fighting spirit. Before the game, he said with a smile, "Millwall suffered a little difficulty, but football is like this. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is not good. This is beneficial to us."

"Our goal is to take away points. One point, three points are acceptable."

When asked if the target was "too small", Allardyce shook his head and said, "I think it's quite remarkable to get points. Millwall is the most difficult team in the Premier League. Maybe many people forget that they Last season, we won the league championship unbeaten, and now we have been unbeaten for 43 consecutive rounds in the past five rounds of the season!"

"Round 43! We are satisfied with the draw against Millwall. This is the Neal Stadium after all."

"Hula..."

Many media know that Millwall is undefeated and won the championship, but because the new season just started, most of them did not talk about last season, nor did they link the two together. Now that I think about it carefully, Millwall is really "43" undefeated round".

This is a great achievement!

Since the establishment of the Premier League, Arsenal has the most unbeaten games. They created a 49-round unbeaten record in the league. So far, it has not been broken in the past few seasons. Many people also believe that with the increasingly fierce competition in the Premier League, the record will be difficult It was broken again.

Now look at it, not so!

Millwall only needs to remain unbeaten for six rounds to tie the record set by Arsenal!

Many reporters began to check the schedule, and the next opponents of Millwall are: Arsenal, Bolton, Reading, Fulham and Everton, plus Newcastle United in this field, that is all six opponents.

Among them, Arsenal led by Arsene Wenger is the most promising to stop Millwall. Arsenal certainly don't want to see their record being broken, and they will definitely stop Millwall wholeheartedly.

But... an Arsenal is not safe!
Among the other opponents, Newcastle United and Everton are expected to stop Millwall. Judging from the results of the new season, the two teams are about the same. Everton's results are also good. Millwall will have to pass three Difficulties, it would be great if Newcastle United stopped Millwall in advance.

The media's need for 'Newcastle beat Millwall' just got more urgent.

The media thought well, but when the game was about to start and they saw Millwall's starting lineup, they were a little discouraged--
Forwards: Vardy, Suarez.

Midfield: Gary O'Neill, Simpson, Livermore, Pires.

Defenders: Barragan, Arbeloa, Darren Ward, Konchesky.

Goalkeeper: Graham.

Most people think that the lineup is very gorgeous at a glance, but in fact, Millwall's main lineup has been replaced a lot. Suarez on the front line, O'Neill on the wing, Barragan on the back line, and Arbeloa are all between the main lineup and the team. The players between the benches, especially the key positions, let Simpson lead in the middle of the midfield, which is somewhat risky.

Last season, Simpson also played the core, and his abilities are considered comprehensive, but he usually acts as the "second core" and almost plays with the team. Know what will happen.

Zhang Yang's choice of the 442 formation is also aimed at the lack of personnel in the core positions.

When this formation is passive, it can play defensive counterattacks, and normal counterattacks do not require high core players. In football in the 21st century, a professional player will play 442. Even if there is no core, other players know how to play.

This is also no way.

Millwall's situation is not as bad as imagined. The 442 formation at home is quite conservative, and the players are also very tough on the field. Against Newcastle United, they did not show weakness at all.

Newcastle United's performance was unexpected.

In the 11th minute of the game, Gremi, who had just joined Newcastle United from Chelsea, made a contribution. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he sent the ball to the penalty area line.

After Martins received the pass, he volleyed sideways.

The angle of this shot is very tricky. The football flew past Darren Ward's body, and then flew into the goal against the post. Even if Graham responded, he just waved his arm, and then watched the football fly into the goal. goal.

0 is better than 1!

As a guest at Neal Stadium, Newcastle United scored the first goal.

----

When the goal happened, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines with a smile on his face, but he felt a little helpless in his heart.

When he "anticipated" the goal, it was only 1 minute away from the goal. He considered using "words to follow" to stop it, but in the end he decided to give the opponent a chance, or in other words, give the team a chance.

The team played very well!

From the Community Shield before the season to the past five rounds of the league, in a total of seven games, Millwall has not even fallen behind once, and scored first in every game.

Presumably this will make the team forget the feeling of falling behind?

Zhang Yang has this kind of worry.

With the cheering fans of the away team at Neal Stadium, Zhang Yang returned to his seat and said to Pierce, "It's good that the opponent scores."

"Alright?" Pierce didn't understand.

"We have not been behind for a long time. Everyone should recall the feeling of being behind. Otherwise, in future games, when we are behind, I will not know how to play as a team."

After hearing this, Pierce smiled wryly. He agreed with Zhang Yang's statement, but when he recalled coaching Manchester City, he felt that being in Millwall was like a dream.

This is the fantasy team!
After making a "fantastic" start, the head coach would actually think that "it's okay to fall behind", and other teams will sound like it's too extravagant.

Pierce found that he had to integrate into the "dream", otherwise he would feel out of place with the team. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that what Zhang Yang said made sense, and he even went one step closer, "Maybe losing is not bad. Losing a game , will remind the team..."

"DO NOT!"

Zhang Yang immediately interrupted with a wave of his hand, "We can't lose!"

"What?" Pierce was a little confused.

Zhang Yang felt that his attitude was a bit bad. He couldn't explain to Pierce that he had the task of leading the team undefeated, but he simply used this to explain, "Do you remember how many rounds we were undefeated? 43 rounds! We have persisted 43 games, so in the league, we must strive for more undefeated, and when we surpass Arsenal, history will leave Millwall’s name.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Pierce and added, “That’s a What an honor, when the time comes the record will have my name on it, and probably yours, and everyone's name will be remembered."

This sentence immediately made Pierce nod frequently.

Pierce didn't think about the undefeated issue, but thinking that the team broke Arsenal's unbeaten record, it would definitely be a big book, maybe the "first assistant coach" would also be recorded?

Pierce nodded fiercely, "Yes! We must work hard! We can't lose any game!"

Zhang Yang immediately sent a look of "children can be taught".
