Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 612 A Rare Big Score
In this game, Morris did not play, Sneijder did not play, and Pires became the captain on the field. He only played for Millwall for one season, but the veteran's experience and stable performance convinced the teammates. .

Pires' leadership ability is average, but it is easy to convey an adjustment order.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yang made Pires the captain.

If it were Vardy and Braniff, the performance of the two was enough to convince the public, but the simple task of conveying instructions may not be done well, and they may misinterpret the meaning.

Such as Vardy.

When Zhang Yang said to defend firmly, he might jump to a higher stage, "Boss means to defend temporarily, as long as there is a chance, attack in a wave, and catch them off guard!"

Braniff would say, "The boss let the defense go, but it doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, the game will definitely be won!"

Zhang Yang's head gets dizzy just thinking about it.

After explaining to Pires, Zhang Yang also took a long breath. Even though he predicted the next situation, he still stood on the sidelines and watched the game closely, analyzing the situation carefully to judge how to adjust in the future.

Three minutes later, Zhang Yang made another adjustment.

This time it was not a simple exhortation, but a direct substitution.

Substitution in the second half of the first half was not a good choice, but after seeing Chelsea's offensive, Zhang Yang felt that the defense was still unstable, especially the defense in the middle. The team was probably used to a single midfielder and two forwards. Or single avant-garde, double midfielder, in general there are three people in the middle, not only the defense at the front of the penalty area is better, but even the players are more used to it.

Forward Luca Toni was replaced by Ljungberg. Ljungberg is a versatile midfielder who can play both front and back midfielders as well as two wings.

Zhang Yang will definitely not let Ljungberg play the midfielder. The central midfielder is too important and is the core of the team. Ljungberg's overall strength is good, but his leadership and offensive ability are relatively poor. He is just a A qualified player, not a leader-level player.

So Ljungberg's position is the midfielder, and he and Livermore partnered with double midfielders.

The team's formation became 4231.

Millwall has not practiced the 4231 formation, but the team's tactical basis is designed according to the player's ability. An unfamiliar formation, the team will not play too badly. The 4231 formation, both defensive midfielders are all defensive, defensively. will be more stable.

Zhang Yang has considered changing to a 451 or 352 formation, which can be done with only one substitution and adjustment, but Morris and Sneijder are not in good condition, and Chelsea in front of them is in a very good condition, so we can play against Chelsea like this , Even he doesn't have much confidence, and he still needs to continue to strengthen his defense, withstand the pressure in front of him, and then find a way to make changes.

----

Millwall's substitution took place at No. 40 minutes, near the end of the first half. No one expected that Zhang Yang would decide to make a substitution.

Many in the media were quite surprised --
"Millwall has changed!"

"What happened? Tony was replaced, Tony's performance is not bad!"

"Ljungberg is on the field!"

"In the summer, Ljungberg left Arsenal and joined Millwall. He played very few games and was just a supplementary player. He only scored one goal for Millwall in the league. Considering his appearance Time, one goal is not a small amount, but it cannot be compared with midfielders Morris, Sneijder, Simpson and other teams..."

"Now Zhang Yang chose to replace Ljungberg, perhaps because he was worried about the state of Morris and Sneijder. Both of them participated in their respective national team games, and they both played the whole game. It seems that the national team games are not good for them. The status impact is still relatively large.”

In any case, the choice of substitution time is surprising.

"Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott knows Zhang Yang very well, "He doesn't care about other people's opinions, as long as he needs to make adjustments. This is Zhang Yang. Before Zhang Yang also had games, he chose to make a substitution at the end of the first half. Facts have proved that his decision was correct."

"I don't know if it's right this time, but Millwall is behind and everyone knows it."

"The substitution also proves that Zhang Yang is worried about the game..."

on the field.

Luca Toni realized that he was replaced, and he was a little confused for a while, but he walked off immediately and waved with Ljungberg when he was off the court.

Zhang Yang greeted him.

If it was Braniff, Simpson and other players, Zhang Yang didn't need to explain at all, because they are old players and have absolute trust in themselves. Luca Tony's newcomers don't have that level of trust. He can't let the players I have lumps in my heart.

Zhang Yang patted Tony on the shoulder, and patiently explained, "Luka, your performance is great, but we need to defend! Do you understand?"

Tony looked at the score, pursed his lips and nodded, not paying much attention to it.

The coach can explain patiently, if he is not dissatisfied with himself, it doesn't matter at all. He has played a lot of time, and it doesn't matter if he leaves early.

----

The game continues.

Ljungberg's appearance enhanced the strength of the front of the penalty area, and the defensive coverage of the two defensive midfielders was greater, which also reduced the pressure on Livermore.

At the same time, Braniff can be more active in the front and does not have to always retreat to defend.

This is the good side.

The downside is that without a striker, there is only one Vardy in front, and he will definitely encounter huge defensive pressure.

Now Millwall wants to stabilize the defense. Ljungberg and Livermore partnered to make the front of the penalty area more stable. No matter how good Chelsea is, it will become more difficult to break through the front of the penalty area.

After the two sides fought each other for several waves, Chelsea also discovered this problem.

Chelsea didn't care.

Millwall's substitution of midfielders for forwards also reduced their defensive pressure. They are still the leading side, so naturally they don't need to care too much.

What Chelsea failed to notice was that Millwall's attack had not abated.

Standing on the sidelines, Zhang Yang was very surprised that he could easily discover this problem after predicting the screen and carefully watching the game.

How can it be?

Replaced by another striker, the offense has not weakened?

After watching another wave of offensives, Zhang Yang realized the problem: he was also playing against each other before, but Luca Toni and Vardy were both in front, which was actually a bit of a waste. The two forwards did not participate in the defense. There are few opportunities, and the strength of the team lies in the ability of the midfielder, not how sharp the striker is. The four midfielders will weaken the ability to support the frontcourt, and the number of forwards is meaningless.

Four midfielders, one striker is enough.

So Ljungberg's appearance was a mistake, and it was just right to replace Luca Toni, which was equivalent to increasing the team's defensive ability in vain.

Because of this, Zhang Yang also discovered the disadvantages of "speaking spirit divination". He used to rely on "speaking spirit divination" to arrange the starting lineup, but the formation ability evaluation of divination is only an "ideal" value, unless every player shows his strength , to reach that standard level.

When a player in the team is not in good condition, it will affect the strength of the entire team, and naturally it will not reach the "ideal value".

Strength evaluation is only one aspect, the performance on the spot is more important.

When encountering a very good team, the performance of Millwall players will also be affected. The "evaluation value" is actually not very meaningful. How to make adjustments cannot be based on the skill value, but on the game situation.

Chelsea didn't know that Luca Toni's departure did not affect Millwall's offense. When a forward left the field, they subconsciously felt that the opponent's offense had weakened.

When Braniff teamed up with Simpson and lobbed the ball to the left of the box, Chelsea still felt that there was no one in that position.

The media and fans are different.

Their perspective is to look at the overall situation, and they can naturally see a figure on the left side of the penalty area, and the football is falling in that direction.

"Attention! Pires!"

"Look at the ball—"

The fans shouted a little louder, and everyone was paying attention to the left side, where a figure rushed over--
Robert Pires!

Pires' speed is not fast, he has long passed the age of using speed and body, and now he plays football based on experience, but his running is just right, the football just falls in front, and in the rhythm of running forward, he Without hesitation, he waved his right foot——
"Pirres—"

"Shoot!"

Amid the shouts from the scene, Pires' movements seemed to be in slow motion. His right foot collided with the football, and the football immediately sunk in, and then used elastic deformation to fly forward quickly.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, the football rushed towards the goal in an instant.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was standing in front of the goal. He saw Pires rushing towards him and reacted instantly, but when he pounced towards the side, the football had already flown by.

"Shh..."

Soccer into the net!

"Goooooooooooooooal!!!!" "Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott announced the final result with a shout.

The ball is in!
"3 to 3! The home team Millwall tied the score! This is really a crazy game, Neal Stadium, Millwall, the league's number one, vs Chelsea, maybe the match between the two teams is the real London derby, because they are A real competitor!"

"More than 40 minutes, the sixth goal!"

"In the past few seasons, the two teams have never scored such an efficient goal. Millwall beat Chelsea by a big score, but there were only five goals in the game!"

"It's six now, six at halftime!"

"Don't know what the final score will be, but we can expect the final goal numbers..."

----

Pires' goal occurred in the No.405 minute, which was scored against the stoppage time line.

This goal made the media even more excited.

Before the game, the media expected Chelsea to beat Millwall, but good-looking games are the most attractive. It is quite rare for two top teams to score big.

That's how it is in the Premier League.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, plus Millwall, these teams represent the highest level of English clubs. The interaction between them, scoring nine and 10 minutes in the game, generally speaking, only two , three, and more than four are very rare.

Special mention should also be made here of Millwall.

In the past three seasons, with more than four goals, Millwall created [-]% of the big scores in the matches between several teams.

Now it's a big score again.

Unlike the previous games, Millwall did not completely suppress the opponent. The two teams played evenly. After 45 minutes of the game, the two sides stood on the same starting line again.

Many people can already imagine the excitement of the second half.
