Compared to last season, Arsenal's strength has decreased.

The biggest impact on Arsenal is the departure of Vieira, when it comes to Arsenal, many people can think of the top scorer Thierry Henry, but in terms of contribution to the team, the core of the midfield Vieira is no worse than Henry.

Patrick Vieira's departure is a major blow to Arsenal, with manager Arsene Wenger having to start developing a new core and Cesc Fabregas being an option, but it will take a lot of time for the Spaniard to grow.

In the summer, Arsenal failed to bring in Baptista, assistant full-back, the famous Ashley Cole, was also involved in the 'defection turmoil' and was fined by the FA, the team's talented striker Van Persie was also involved in a rape scandal, a series of important player problems, making Arsenal look very confused, the media also believed, "This season will be a transitional season for Arsenal, Fabregas, Senderos, Van Persie and other newcomers have potential, But it's not realistic to want them to become like Henry all at once. ”

What Arsenal need most now is time.

Millwall won't give them time, Zhang Yang feels that playing against Arsenal is a good option, and after a while, it may be more difficult to play against Arsenal again.

Arsenal are the team to watch.

However, in the first two days of the game, there were more reports related to Millwall, because Millwall's results were surprising, second in the league after five rounds, and it was impossible to link this result with the promoted horses, who were not only the best promoted horses, but also one of the best teams in the Premier League.

The opinion of the media was: "Millwall has not yet experienced a big war!" "It's hard to be recognized if you don't play against big clubs.

The league has just begun, and there is still a long time to go after, and small clubs occasionally have good results, but it is almost impossible to hold on for a season, such as the current Millwall and Charlton Athletic, who can rank in the top three in the league, and are only considered 'temporary rankings'.

"They can't hold out for long!"

The day before the game, Zhang Yang said in an interview, which seemed to confirm this, "The league has been going on so far, and it is a bit amazing that we can rank second, but it is difficult to hold on for too long with good results, I just hope that the team can be relegated smoothly!" ”

A lot of media started to report on this, and they continued to analyze it.

"Millwall's goal can really only be placed on relegation, with their formation, it is difficult to continue to play well!"

'Millwall's home game against Arsenal would be the end of their unbeaten run, but it's amazing that they can start this game!'

"Arsenal has a lot of internal problems, but the victory over Millwall is still not too suspenseful!"

“……”

When he saw these reports, Zhang Yang just smiled silently, which was exactly his purpose.

If you want to win, you have to keep a low profile!

Millwall's results are so good that they have already attracted a lot of attention, and if they are too high-profile, they will attract a lot of firepower, which will put a lot of pressure on the team and will make every opponent take it seriously, and it will not do any good for the real matchup.

When the strength is not enough, a low-key win is the king!

Arsenal is indeed a difficult opponent, but to say that Millwall has no chance at home, can only be disdainful, Zhang Yang will not lose his prestige, he said 'Millwall is aiming for relegation', but did not say that the home will lose to Arsenal.

That's just the media's understanding.

The day before the game, after the team finished training in the afternoon, Zhang Yang gathered everyone and asked for only one, "Tomorrow's game, you must go all out and try to beat Arsenal at home!" ”

"It's the first time we've met a big team!"

"I believe that with the quality of our goal, we are enough to challenge Arsenal. Arsenal are nothing remarkable, they lost to Middlesbrough in the fourth round, and we won four of the first five games and are unbeaten so far, so I think we have the quality advantage! ”

Zhang Yang's words are very inspiring.

The Millwall players had also discussed the game in private, and they felt that there was little hope of winning against Arsenal, after all, Arsenal was a team they could only look up to.

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused.

Middlesbrough can win against Arsenal, so why can't we? In the previous game, we played much better than Arsenal, and we played at home, so we have a great chance!

When it comes to beating Arsenal at home, the players look eager.

That's Arsenal!

As long as we can win against Arsenal, there will be no more reports questioning our strength, and then we will be a strong team in the media, not just a promoted team!

Zhang Yang reminded all players to try to keep a low profile before the game, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger did not 'hit the plan', and when interviewed, he praised Zhang Yang, "He said that Millwall's goal is relegation? Will you believe it too? ”

"A team that is relegated will not win four games in five rounds!"

'I've met Zhang, we've had a few conversations, and that's a great young man, and Millwall's results last season were very surprising, maybe a reminder to all Premier League teams. Some teams don't care, but I wouldn't underestimate Millwall. ”

'Coleman said last week that Millwall is a team build, I can't do that, but Zhang seems to have succeeded, I watched two videos of Millwall's games, they played a chaotic way, but every player played really well, and I think that's the tactics built up with Millwall's lineup.

"To be able to do this, his tactical ability has stood at the highest point, so Millwall can no longer be interpreted as a 'promotion horse'."

"Tomorrow's game, I hope Arsenal can win, but it's hard to say who will win in football, maybe an amateur team, also has a chance to beat the giants, this happens often, so I never judge who wins and who loses before the game!"

Arsene Wenger's words surprised the media.

No one thought that Wenger would have such a high opinion of Zhang Yang, and the 'Millwall tactical issue', which has been constantly debated in public opinion, has been settled here in the French.

The various Premier League managers also seem to be very interested in the game and have expressed their views on this key battle.

Reflecting on the game, United manager Alex Ferguson said: "Arsene Wenger is my old rival and I would have liked Millwall to win, it would be good for Manchester United and everyone would want their rivals to lose three points. The implication is that Millwall are not enough to be a match for Manchester United.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is a big mouth, but he rarely shares Ferguson's sentiment: 'I want Millwall to win. However, after a while, he talked about his thoughts on the game, "But Millwall is not easy to beat Arsenal, I don't like the Frenchman, and I have to admit that his Arsenal is still difficult to deal with." ”

Chelsea and Arsenal have played each other.

In that game, Chelsea beat Arsenal 1-0, but the goal came in the 84th minute, and Chelsea could only say that they won narrowly.

Other Premier League managers have also voiced their views.

In the opinion of many managers, most of them want Millwall to win, because they don't think Millwall's good results can last all season, and Arsenal is a 'long-lasting' team, the league played poorly at the front, and they will definitely be able to catch up later, and they are not too optimistic that Millwall can win, after all, Arsenal is not easy to deal with.

These comments amused Zhang Yang.

Almost all of the managers' comments were wishing Millwall a win, but their reasoning was, "I don't want Millwall's good results to last for a season." ”

I really don't know whether to cry or laugh in this situation.

In the midst of public opinion, the time passed by the afternoon of the next day, and the game was about to begin.

By the time the two teams were warming up, most of the fans had already finished, and more than half of them were Millwall fans, but Arsenal fans were also bad, accounting for about a quarter of all the fans.

That's quite a huge number of away fans.

This game was the highlight of the sixth round, and tickets were sold out early, but because they are also London teams, many Arsenal fans entered the stadium by buying scalpers tickets.

The North Stand is for away and neutral fans, but it has been dominated by Arsenal fans, which has also added a lot of cheering from the visitors at Neill Stadium.

In the shouts of fans on both sides, the warm-up players on the field were more active.

At the same time, the pre-match press conference was calm, Wenger and Zhang Yang met once, and said a few words, there was no contradiction between each other, but they had a good impression of each other, so naturally they would not be too-for-tat.

Arsene Wenger was only talking about the situation at Arsenal.

Zhang Yang only talked about topics related to the game, and did not say anything about Arsenal.

The atmosphere at the venue was harmonious.

When he returned to the locker room, there were only ten minutes left before the start of the game, Zhang Yang seized the time and emphasized the tactical play--

"Always be on the defensive!"

"Don't push too far forward in the formation, especially at the beginning, don't give them any chance!"

"Pay more attention to your position, especially the players at the back!"

'We don't need to score quick goals, we have to play a war of attrition with them, play strictly according to tactics, have chances up front to take advantage of long shots and try to create set-piece opportunities. That's our main thing! ”

"Don't make unnecessary entanglements with them in the front court, we have to beat them with our advantage!"

Zhang Yang emphasized a lot of things.

That's all been stressed before, but he took the time to say it again, hoping to deepen the memory of all the players.

Everyone is listening, too.

This game is not only a show of some anticipation, some nervousness, but also some anticipation, some nervousness.

That's Arsenal!

Millwall is promoted to the Premier League for the first time, and now it is also the first time to meet a giant club in the league, as the focus of the round, I don't know how many people will pay attention.

This is the real big stage!
