Chapter 566 - The Best Answer
The British media are accustomed to a flamboyant style.
Whenever a major tournament is about to be held, Zhang Yang will always say, "We are just here to learn from experience", "It depends on luck to win", "We will work hard, but the opponent is strong", etc., all kinds of speeches seem to have little confidence, and it is not even an exaggeration to describe it as "no fighting spirit".
But......
Millwall win every time.
Now facing the UEFA Super Cup, Millwall has a chance to win a second trophy, even if the competition is a bit chicken, the Premier League media believe that Millwall cannot give up easily.
Because, there is no reason.
Since the start of the season, Millwall have performed quite well in two league games and one Community Shield, ranking first in the Premier League on goal difference, and beating Chelsea to win the Community Shield.
Millwall is a little closer, but against Sevilla in La Liga, it is impossible to give up the trophy.
"Zhang Yang is not someone who will give up the game." The Times said, "Countless matches in the past have proven that he has never given up on the hunt for the title, even if it is a chicken champion, and his Millwall will hold on until the last minute." ”
"In the last two seasons, Millwall have been remembered for being league winners, Champions League winners, 'treble' titles, but one thing to note is that they have won at least one cup every season. Last season it was the FA Cup, last season it was the League Cup, and that doesn't include the Community Shield. ”
"So it's just a normal complaint, a normal Chinese humble speech, and Millwall will definitely try to win the title."
Other British media reports have been similar, with analysis warning fans not to misinterpret Millwall as likely to give up the game because of the flamboyant statement.
"Not only are Millwall not going to give up, they have a very good chance of beating Sevilla! Sevilla are the winners of the UEFA Cup, and they are only the winners of the UEFA Cup, while Millwall are the Champions League winners, and the two competitions are at different levels! ”
This is talking about Millwall's strength.
The Spanish media have a different view.
The Spanish media's knowledge of Millwall stems from the clash between Valencia, Real Madrid and Millwall, both of which are special.
Valencia was unhappy with the flamboyant expression of the grouping, and a war of words broke out between the two teams; Real Madrid President Calderón wanted to use the invitation to publicize to achieve the purpose of reducing pressure, and in the end, stealing chickens did not lead to rice, but caused a lot of criticism.
Valencia, Real Madrid, and Millwall all had conflicts before the war, and the two sides also had a contest in the news, which also made the Spanish media label Zhang Yang: arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and not easy to mess with......
There is certainly no modesty and low profile in it.
Now hearing such a low-key statement, the Spanish media feel that the brazenness is weak. Why show weakness?
It's not that I'm not confident in the game!
The Spanish media suddenly had a lot of good feelings about Zhang Yang.
This young Chinese is sometimes annoying, but he is at least very honest, confidence is confidence, no confidence is no confidence, in European football, such a straightforward coach is difficult to find.
Of course, more important is Sevilla.
The day before the game, almost all the Spanish media were singing praises to Sevilla, "Sevilla will win the final victory!" ”
'Millwall are not easy to play against, but Sevilla are in a good hurry, as Millwall boss Zhang Yang said, Millwall's schedule is too tight, they have played three games in thirteen days, one of which is against Chelsea, so it is such a dense competition that can put a lot of pressure on any team. It's the best time to play, with Millwall having only played in the second round of the Premier League and Sevilla FC having completed their preparations and are waiting for the Super Cup to begin......
"Millwall didn't have time to prepare, Sevilla had plenty of time! That's the difference, and it's no wonder that the flamboyance is to blame for the event! ”
"There shouldn't be any suspense in this Super Cup!"
The above statement is not bad, and some local media in Seville even said, "Our fans can celebrate the championship in advance!" ”
"UEFA Super Cup!"
'We only won the UEFA Cup, but we won the Champions League! This will make the Super Cup a huge European gold crown! ”
“……”
Spain places so much emphasis on the 'weight' of the Super Cup, the reason is that the Super Cup is indeed a bit of a chicken rib, with the increasing popularity of the European Super Cup, the influence is also increasing, two years ago, the Super Cup event redesigned the trophy, the new trophy is bigger than the original, but also more beautiful, the new trophy was lifted for the first time by Sevilla's Navarro, in other words, Sevilla is the UEFA Super Cup' The defending champions', they also managed to defend the UEFA Cup title, beating Arsenal 3-0 to win the Super Cup at the same time last year, and now they have a chance to defend the Super Cup.
Sevilla can win the UEFA Cup for two consecutive years, and their strength should not be underestimated, and under the leadership of the famous coach Juan de Ramos, Sevilla can be said to have ushered in a period of glory.
Looking at the league situation in La Liga, Sevilla are also very competitive.
They are similar to Valencia, they are the "third pole" teams of La Liga, they can be called giants in China, and they are also quasi-giants in Europe, and there is a big gap between them and Real Madrid and Barcelona, but they are also very competitive in China and Europe.
Sevilla are also known for producing stars, they basically do not have a big investment in the transfer market, and this summer is the same, several deals are focused on replenishing the backfield, but the media's comments on Sevilla are positive, because the departures are insignificant players, compared to last season, Sevilla's overall strength has improved.
But there are still crises in Sevilla, one is the star Alves, who has been rumored to be leaving, because Alves told reporters that he wants to leave Sevilla and join a European giant.
The other is the meritorious coach Juan de Ramos, Tottenham Hotspur has been inviting him to coach, although Ramos has stated that he wants to stay in Sevilla, but the news is still very uncertain, because the reporter found that even the officials of the Sevilla club are not sure whether Ramos will stay.
One of the above two is a huge loss for Sevilla.
In any case, the crisis is only the future, it has not happened yet, in the face of the UEFA Super Cup, Sevilla still have a full lineup, they are very well prepared for the game, the starting lineup is the main force at a glance, Alves, Navarro, Canute, Navas and other stars are on the stage.
Millwall's starting line-up was less complete.
At the heart of the pitch was new signing Sneijder, with left-back replaced by Koncheski and Arbeloa, Zambrotta also on the bench, replaced by teenager Barragán, and the only thing worth noting was that Braniff was up front and he and Jamie Vardy were the strikers.
This arrangement has caused a lot of analysis.
'Abeloa and Barragán should be in the normal rotation, Zambrotta has played three games in a row, but Braniff should be in the middle and it's rare for him to play as a striker.
"Fans who know Millwall will know that two seasons ago, Braniff played as a striker!"
"He was a substitute for Neil Harris!"
'Braniff was originally a striker, and it was Zhang Yang who put him in the midfield position, but now it seems a little too late to change it back, and the Irish star has adapted to the midfield position.
"I don't know what Zhang Yang's considerations are, but Braniff's ability is very comprehensive, and there should be no problem playing as a striker......"
“……”
Zhang Yang doesn't care what the media thinks.
Braniff playing as a striker is not a big deal at all, and Zhang Yang's consideration of letting Braniff play forward is also an important 'experiment'.
According to the data of "Speech Calculation", Braniff played forward and midfielder, which had little impact on the team's overall performance, almost a difference of up and down one point, or the result of Braniff adjusting his position and replacing Luka Toney.
Luka Toney is out and will definitely have an impact on the rating.
To some extent, it can also be said that Braniff may be better up front than in midfield, and contribute more to the team.
The main reason for Zhang Yang's adjustment is that there is Sneijder in the middle of the midfield, and if the two rotate, the playing time will definitely be affected, and every player wants to increase the number of appearances, especially players like Braniff and Sneijder, who need to play more, and their appearances can also make the team win more games.
So, the necessary adjustments are to be made.
Sneijder and Braniff went to play in the back, and some of them were not suitable, and if they found a position on the wing, their performance would also be affected, and in the end they could only be forwards.
Zhang Yang considered the results of the "speech and spirit calculation", and also considered the tacit understanding between Braniff and Vardy, so he let the two pair up front.
This Super Bowl is just right.
Zhang Yang didn't care much about this adjustment, it was just a small experiment, and when the two teams entered the game, he didn't care about the problems on the field at all, but reminded a few players to pay attention to the game and see how his teammates in the same position performed.
Among them are Suarez, Weston, Maxi and Gary O'Neal, who has just joined the team.
Gary O'Neill has only been with the team for three days.
Millwall's announcement of O'Neal's arrival came on the day of the second round of the league, and the value of $5 million is also a heavyweight transfer, but for the top clubs, it attracted very little attention, and the media interpreted it as, "an addition to the squad." ”
Indeed it is.
Gary O'Neill is a "jack-of-all-trades" player, he has been performing well and has made his value rise, but not having a fixed position is an awkward problem, he is good at the right side of midfield, but sometimes he is better on the left.
Such players can only be used as a complement to the midfield.
The reason why Zhang Yang chose Gary O'Neal is only to supplement the lineup, in fact, O'Neal's transfer was facilitated by Wilkinson, Zhang Yang just said that he wanted to add depth on the bench, and Wilkinson brought a player worth five million pounds.
Somewhat...... It's too extravagant.
However, Zhang Yang is still relatively satisfied, because Millwall has been short of people on the right side, Simpson's performance is not completely satisfied, and he cannot play all the games, and occasionally Morris needs to make a cameo on the right side.
The arrival of Gary O'Neal solved the problem, but Zhang Yang did not expect O'Neal to play for a short time, and it had nothing to do with O'Neal's personal ability, mainly because he did not participate in the pre-season preparation, and his understanding of Millwall's tactical play can be said to be a blank.
Zhang Yang has given Bruno Boehly a special job - to guide the new players to familiarise themselves with the tactics.
That's troublesome.
Some players who join the team in the middle of the team have to rely on themselves to learn tactics because they have not done "systematic" preparation, and some players who prepare with the team are also slow to familiarize themselves with tactics, and they need individual guidance.
That's Burleigh's job.
Zhang Yang applied for an additional £1,000 a week work allowance for Boehly from the club, which also made Boehly very motivated.
In the past two years, Boehly has been working as a handyman, and most of the club people also think that Boehly is just a "handyman", who seems to be able to do any job, but his income is also rising, and now, the fixed salary of club work alone has reached 1,500 pounds a week, which is higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.
Boehly is often involved in the training of the first team, and when the team is doing well, there is an additional bonus, an average of nearly 1,000 pounds a week, plus this 1,000 pounds, the weekly income is easily more than 3,000 pounds, reaching the level of income of a first-line assistant coach, and if it is higher, it can even catch up with Aldous.
That's pretty remarkable.
Zhang Yang thinks that Burleigh should get a high income, in fact, he values Boehly's work ability very much, at the beginning, Burleigh was still a young man who didn't know anything, but young people are a blank sheet of paper, and their learning ability is very strong.
For two years, Boehly was busy working every day, and he was constantly improving every day.
Boehly is at the bottom of the entire Millwall first-team coaching team, but he has the most workload and the nature of his work is becoming more and more "professional", and he can now guide new players on tactical issues.
That's lifting.
Zhang Yang believes that in a few years, Boehly can be qualified to work as an assistant coach, and he can be regarded as a good football coach.
————
With the referee's whistle, the Super Cup game officially began.
The clash between the Spanish and English teams is always full of highlights, the media and fans are very much looking forward to the game, and at the beginning of the game, the Spanish media also saw something unusual.
Millwall started the game on the attack.
This is quite rare.
It's not that Millwall's attack is rare, but England teams and Spanish teams play against each other, most of them use defensive strategies, even Arsenal will play cautiously in the opening, mainly focusing on defense, mainly because of the difference in league style, Spanish teams tend to play more technical, English teams focus on scrambling and defense, normal exchanges, the opening attack of the fierce side, often will be the Spanish team.
This game is different.
Millwall didn't have any conservatism, and he couldn't even see the temptation, so he directly launched a ferocious offensive, which also made the Spanish media a little incomprehensible, "What is Millwall doing?" Do they want to go directly to Sevilla? ”
"Or did Zhang Yang give up the game?"
"It's not good for Millwall to play like this......"
The Spanish media were very surprised by Millwall's style of play, while the English media had a different view, they saw Millwall's strength, "Even against Sevilla, Millwall still attacked from the start!" ”
"It's Millwall's strong style! Whether it's against Portsmouth, Manchester City, or Chelsea, they can play hard, and now against Sevilla in La Liga, it's no different! ”
Many English media are looking forward to it.
To say that most of the media in the country want Millwall to lose, but against the Spanish team, how can they support Millwall.
Millwall's performance was really strong.
Winning all three domestic games and playing more fluently in attack than last season, how will this gorgeous style of play perform against La Liga teams?
It's a question.
The current game is the best answer.
