Barcelona's 'Olympic trip to China' is actually a bit tragic, Barcelona, led by Rijkaard, has Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Xavi and other stars, but they were given a cold reception in SH City.

At the SH match, there were only more than 5,000 fans in attendance.

After the game, Barcelona said that they had never met such a cold reception when playing around the world, which was simply a humiliation for Barcelona.

After coming to the capital BJ, Barcelona was warmly welcomed by the fans.

This calmed their resentment a little.

The main location of Barcelona's 'China tour' is also BJ, they have been in BJ for three days, and played a game with BJ, and finally Barcelona easily defeated BJ 3-0, which also let more Chinese fans know the strength of Barcelona.

Millwall came to BJ to play against Barcelona.

The two clubs agreed to play a friendly business match.

It's going to be an show show and a real warm-up game as both teams prepare for the new season and there will be a variety of opponents in Europe, so having a warm-up game early can help the team get used to the feeling of the tournament.

There is no need to fight hard in a warm-up game with a commercial nature.

Win, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter if you lose.

However, no one knows what the two sides think, at least Millwall does not want to lose, because the opponent is Barcelona, one of the top teams in Europe.

This is the status-determined mentality.

If the business friendly is against Manchester United, Chelsea, or a mid-table club in another league, Millwall doesn't have to care about winning or losing, because losing the game doesn't matter much, and no one will say that Millwall is inferior to their opponents, they have won too many times.

Barcelona have always been considered the top team, and Millwall is also the first time to play Barcelona, so the meaning is naturally different.

Millwall 'just happen' to be the reigning Champions League champions and they are not willing to be beaten by other teams, especially in a foreign country, and everyone is looking forward to the game.

The mentality of the players makes the whole team, and even spread a tense atmosphere.

Zhang Yang didn't care, because he also wanted to win.

Millwall's "China trip" is not comparable to Barcelona, he has been secretly unhappy, although it is a problem of the club's reputation, but after all, he is Chinese, leading the European championship team back to China, and he was even pressed by a completely foreigner team, and his heart is a little awkward.

In addition, Chinese football has always been bad.

This is Zhang Yang's opinion, but also the opinion of the vast majority of fans, Zhang Yang as a football coach, in fact, is a little embarrassing, no matter how much he has achieved, but 'football' in the Chinese sports circle, the status is indeed very peculiar, for example, people in other sports, nothing to do always laugh at 'football'.

Zhang Yang is also 'engaged in football'.

When the Capital Olympics were about to be held, Zhang Yang also received an invitation, but he only gave a good seat in the front row of the opening ceremony.

That's a guest seat.

When it comes to the big scene of the Capital Olympics, there is no difference between the guest seats and the audience seats, the only thing is that 'may' will appear on the TV screen, and 'maybe' will be introduced by the host.

Then, it's gone.

Zhang Yang thought that he would invite himself to a small show or other activities, but he didn't expect to invite him to be an audience, and he had to sigh that 'there is no human right to engage in football'.

This is actually determined by the overall environment of football.

If Chinese football is played very well, the influence of football will be greatly enhanced, and those who can rise to the top among football coaches will definitely appear in the important position of the opening ceremony, not just as a background audience.

Zhang Yang is full of complaints.

Now facing Barcelona who is pressing on his own head, Zhang Yang is also full of unhappiness, there is no need to really fight in the warm-up game, but in front of the majority of Chinese fans, it is better to beat the opponent.

————

Millwall soon arrived at BJ.

Upon arrival at BJ, Millwall received a warm welcome from the fans, but the level of welcome was also contrasting, with Millwall being less popular than Barcelona.

This may be a better way for officials to help Barcelona publicize.

Zhang Yang felt even more unhappy when he heard that Barcelona's popular scene was more grandiose, but he also had to admit that Millwall was a 'theoretical' away team, because Barcelona was an 'Olympic trip to China', and they were officially invited, and Millwall just negotiated a contract with Barcelona and accepted Barcelona's invitation to BJ to play.

The next day, when Millwall had an open training session, Zhang Yang's mind changed.

More than 20,000 fans came to watch Millwall practice, and many of them shouted their names as they entered the stadium.

"Publicity! Publicity! Publicity! ”

The voices of support, Zhang Yang listened to the heart, maybe when it comes to the game, the fans who support Millwall will not be less than Barcelona, right?

Zhang Yang's estimate is a bit conservative.

No matter how much Chinese fans like Barcelona, they also know that Barcelona is a Spanish team, just like Barcelona and BJ team playing, on weekdays, BJ team does not get much support, but when playing with Barcelona, fans who come to see Barcelona will cheer for BJ team.

This is a sense of national honor.

No matter how bad the Chinese team is, it is also a Chinese team, and no matter how well a foreign team plays, it does not belong to China or the Chinese nation.

Millwall is also not a Chinese team, but Millwall has a Chinese head coach.

Compared with a team composed of coaches and players, all foreigners, Millwall, which was built by Zhang Yang, is much easier to accept, especially when Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines and smiled and talked to the opposing head coach Rijkaard, many fans felt that Millwall was more intimate.

So they all shouted out their flamboyant fame, and they all began to cheer for Millwall.

In theory, Barcelona's 'home stadium', before the game started, it became Millwall's home stadium, even if Barcelona arrived at BJ ahead of schedule and had already staged a game, it could not win back the hearts of the fans.

By the time the two teams warmed up, the Barcelona stars were already depressed.

It is difficult for Europeans to understand the patriotic plot of the Chinese.

In Barcelona's view, there is a Chinese head coach in the Millwall team, and there is no difference between the absence of any Chinese, Millwall is an English team, Zhang Yang stands on the sidelines of the game, representing Millwall, and China has nothing to do with it at all.

It doesn't make sense!

Is it true that when two teams play a match, fans still have to see which team has more 'locals' and which team to support?

It doesn't make sense.

Barcelona understands it or not, it doesn't seem to matter at all, when warming up, the fans are already shouting Millwall's name, and Millwall's stars have also benefited, Morris, Livermore, Braniff, Vardy, Zambrotta, etc., the name of each player will appear in the shouts of the fans, but the stars of Barcelona, Eto'o, Xavi, Puyol, etc., have no longer heard the name, the only one is Ronaldinho, and many fans are shouting.

Ronaldinho is too famous.

If you want to talk about the world's top stars, there may be some who are more popular than Ronaldo, but as the core player of the 2002 World Cup winner Brazil, Chinese fans remember Ronaldinho.

Why?

The Chinese team participated in the 2002 World Cup and played in a group with Brazil!

That World Cup is the most attractive Chinese fans, because the Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time in history, it will naturally attract the attention of Chinese fans, no matter how the Chinese team performs, the attention of fans is attracted to the past, as one of the three opponents of the Chinese team, and the final champion, the Brazilian team is naturally attracted to the attention of Chinese fans, and the best Ronaldinho and Ronaldo have quickly had a large number of Chinese fans.

Many Chinese 'pseudo-fans' don't watch football on weekdays, just look at the stars, they will know Ronaldinho, talk about what stars Barcelona have, and immediately say a Ronaldinho.

Eto'o?

Harvey?

Ahem...... Sorry, I haven't heard of it at all.

The only name left by the fans at the scene for Barcelona was Ronaldinho.

Barcelona felt depressed, they were humiliated in SH, they felt fine in BJ, but now they seem to be humiliated again.

It's not just the Chinese fans who brought it, but also Millwall, because the fans are shouting the names of the Millwall stars.

How so?

Is it because Millwall won the treble that Chinese fans know their stars?

The stars of Barcelona decided to vent their frustration on the game and let the fans see which team is stronger and which team deserves to support loudly.

It was in this atmosphere that the competition began.

————

In fact, Barcelona does not have much fighting spirit, for them, it is meaningless to beat Millwall in a commercial warm-up game, even if Millwall is the Treble winner and the defending champion of the Champions League, but compared with the glorious history of Barcelona, there is still a gap.

This is the self-confidence that stems from the heritage of the wealthy.

Now it's different.

The Barcelona players want to beat Millwall to prove something to the fans, and in the same way, Millwall want to beat Barcelona, and the game started with a 'warm-up' and from the first minute, it seemed to have changed its nature and turned into a real encounter.

Barcelona are serious, they use the possession that the team is good at, they are constantly passing on the perimeter, they will pass forward when they find an opportunity, and every forward pass seems to bring a huge threat.

Millwall was also serious.

Millwall's seriousness is different from Barcelona's, and the flamboyant arrangement is still to play the game as a warm-up, so the purpose of the game is also to test the new formation.

352。

Or say 3232.

Millwall's starting formation was immediately intrigued by the media.

There were not only Chinese media, but also many Spanish and British media, who all saw Millwall's new formation, the difference is that the Spanish media did not pay attention to it, and the commentator of the live game only said, "Millwall is playing with a back three, and they seem to be going to play against Barcelona!" I don't think that's a smart decision! ”

The British media is different.

The British media knows Millwall too well and has an in-depth analysis of Zhang Yang's coaching.

Millwall are the focal point of English football and any news is capable of generating interest from fans, let alone changing formations.

352？

It's just a midfielder, how can there be one less defender?

The British media immediately conducted an in-depth analysis, and the commentator who broadcast the game live, said, "Three at the back! Rare! No, I should say I haven't seen it before. Millwall's backline has been four-man for the past two seasons. I don't know if it's a temporary experiment, or if Zhang Yang is going to make tactical changes. ”

"We can see that Millwall are all veterans, and the new players are only one Luka Toney on the pitch, and the others are all on the bench, I don't know what it means, is it a coincidence? Or experiment with new tactics with veterans? ”

"It's hard to say right now."

"We'll see if Millwall's back three can make a difference. But one thing is for sure, the game is going to be exciting. The back three, no matter how you row in front, is definitely an offensive style of play! ”

Millwall sent all the main forces.

Goalkeeper Graham Stark was unchanged, with a back three of Zambrotta and Konchesky, plus Darren Ward in the middle, a back of two Livermore, and Morris, a back three of Braniff, Simpson and a combination of Vardy and Luca Toney on the line.

This lineup can't be said to be the strongest, and it is definitely the limit of strength and adaptability to tactics.

Other new players, such as Sneijder, Maxey and others, are very powerful, but they are not familiar with tactics, they do not have a dual-core tactical foundation, they have not adapted to the new formation to a certain extent, and they can't talk about tacit understanding with their teammates, and it is difficult to play too well on the field.

Zhang Yang's only new player is Luca Toney, mainly because Curtis Weston is too uncompetitive and his personal strength is a little poor, and it is difficult for Weston to take advantage of Barcelona's backline.

Luka Toney is a very efficient high school striker.

Even if he is not familiar with tactics, has the body and technique, Luka Toney can play well on the field.

That's enough.

Zhang Yang is most worried about defense, the shortcomings of the new formation are in defense, three backs are always three backs, even if there is one more back, it can't make up for the lack of defense in the middle, after all, the back can't always defend, Morris, Livermore's offensive role is also very obvious.

The game lasted four minutes.

Barcelona took advantage of the kick-off, played two waves in succession, and created a corner, but they couldn't pose much of a threat, and they had a shot on goal, which was pressed against the line of the box, which was blocked by the retreating Livermore.

At this point in the game, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, the team's defense is a little weak, but the midfield and backfield are fully defending, and the effect is not so bad, and it is not easy for Barcelona to score.

Then it's time to attack.

In terms of attack, Zhang Yang is still full of expectations for what the new tactics can perform.
