In the Community Shield in August, Millwall played against Chelsea, who didn't know who the manager was, and Grant was only leading the team temporarily, so there was some confusion in the team.

It didn't take much for Millwall to beat Chelsea to claim their first trophy of the season.

Chelsea's poor start to the season has resulted in a current record of 7 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats, which is certainly good compared to most teams, but they are only sixth in the league, and the difference between them and Chelsea, who have competed for the title in the past, is still quite different.

Chelsea's poor record was mainly due to the lack of good start to the season, and the last five league games have been quite good, with four wins and one draw.

Anyone can see that Chelsea's results are improving rapidly and steadily, and if the momentum continues, perhaps Chelsea will still be eligible for the league title.

The media were not optimistic about Grant's prospects at Chelsea, with their comments on the Israelis almost all disparaging, and they also attributed Chelsea's solid results to new assistant coach Dutchman Ten Carter.

Ten Carter has a wealth of coaching experience, dating back to 1988, in Germany, Hungary, Spain and his home country of the Netherlands.

Prior to coming to Chelsea, he was an assistant coach at Barcelona for several years.

Ten Carter joined Camp Nou alongside Rijkaard, who helped revitalize a declining Barcelona to the pinnacle of his career.

On the pitch, Barcelona were inspired by Ronaldinho's form, while during the latter's time in Catalonia, Ten Carter was considered to have been the man to bring out the best in form.

Last season, Ten Carter returned to the Netherlands to take charge of giants Ajax alone.

At the Amsterdam Arena, Ten Carter led Ajax to a runners-up finish in the Eredivisie, losing to old rivals PSV Eindhoven by just one goal difference, and over the course of the season, Ten Carter's side have scored 85 goals in 34 league games and lost just five games.

Now Ten Carter is at Chelsea.

Chelsea are also the first English club to be joined by the Dutch.

Ten Carter has been an assistant coach for a long time and has a lot of experience in leading the team to train, and he is Grant's assistant in his position, but in reality, the training work is done single-handedly.

Ten Carter was very unkind during the training process.

When a Chelsea player doesn't train seriously, or jokes and jokes with each other, he immediately reprimands him, and he stresses that no player should be allowed to spoil the seriousness of the training process.

The move sparked a lot of controversy in the media, with many initially paying attention to Ten Carter's training style, but as Chelsea's results stabilized, the media narrative became, "Ten Carter's arrival has significantly improved the quality of Chelsea's training." ”

Perhaps it is also because the Dutchman Tenkat is more acceptable than attributing the credit for the good results to the Israeli Grant.

Of course, there are also media neutral evaluations, and Manchester Sport said, "Grant and Ten Carter are a complementary pair." A tolerant manager and a strict assistant coach – the pair combined to create positive chemistry that put Chelsea back on the right track. ”

"Maybe at the end of the season, people will applaud the wonderful scenes that this 'golden pair' has brought to the table."

Regardless of whether Chelsea's solid results are due to Grant or Ten Carter, it will be the same for Millwall, who will always have to face an opponent who is not difficult.

Millwall's advantage is playing at home.

Before the game, Zhang Yang also talked about home advantage, "This game is very important, Chelsea is also an old rival, but I remind everyone to forget about the game in August, because Chelsea is not the same team now. ”

'Luckily we waited for the game at Neil Stadium instead of going to Stamford Bridge.

Zhang Yang attaches great importance to the game.

League points are still second, and Chelsea are not easy to play against, which means it is possible to beat Millwall.

This must not be allowed.

The league points are second, Millwall has a six-point advantage, and the mistakes are not terrible, but the system task has not been completed, Millwall must not lose, and it is impossible to complete the task if it is interrupted.

So the conservative strategy adopted by Zhang Yang.

However, against Chelsea, who are tough defensively, you must also adopt a conservative strategy, otherwise you will be blocked by Chelsea's iron wall, and then attacked by the opponent's counterattack, Millwall may really lose.

The 352 formation is good, but it is not suitable for strong defensive opponents.

Zhang Yang rarely discharged 442.

Formation and formation, in fact, there is not much difference in strength.

This can be found using the calculation of the spirit of speech, Millwall 352 formation, evaluation is only three points more than 442 formation.

Three points is not an absolute difference.

The 442 formation is not a dual core, and the style of play is relatively simple, which means that the offensive ability is much worse, but it also has its advantages--

One is that the defense is better.

The second is to give players more freedom to play.

In the fixed 352 style of play, because of the complex tactical details, although it is a tactic formulated according to the ability of the players, the restrictions on the performance of players on the field are still relatively large, and the 442 formation is relatively simple, and the restrictions on the performance of players are smaller.

Zhang Yang's idea is to increase the defensive intensity, "to keep the draw and win", the mind is this mind, just to not take risks, playing conservatively does not mean not to win, his words to the players are, "I want the game to be over and to celebrate the victory with the fans!" ”

'It's Chelsea!'

"But remember what I said? Our goal is to open as many gaps as possible before Christmas, and if we want to achieve this, we have to get every single point! No mistakes! You can never pin the gap on your opponent's mistakes, but you must take every opportunity for your opponent's mistakes! ”

Zhang Yang is very satisfied with the outside environment.

Previously, Zhang Yang was a little worried that the players would 'lose their fighting spirit', such as playing against opponents of the same level as Chelsea, and losing their fighting spirit was simply fatal.

But the outside media seemed to have given an assist, and many of the media were talking, "Chelsea are very likely to end Millwall's unbeaten run!" ”

The media expect Chelsea to do it.

Not only the media, but also many non-Millwall fans and even the FA...... Yes, even the FA doesn't want Millwall to continue to win, because the Premier League seems to be dominated by one team.

So many people want Millwall to lose, which shows how harsh the outside environment is.

This happened to inspire Millwall's fighting spirit.

Some players may not care about winning or losing, but the team has already broken Arsenal's record, and the league is firmly conservative, so it doesn't matter if you make a mistake.

This mindset is dangerous.

When all the news is negative, players are inspired to think, 'You all want Chelsea to win, we're going to beat them!' ”

That's the good side.

However, Zhang Yang and the Millwall club did not expect that the game would become so dangerous......

————

Neil Field.

Millwall's home game against Chelsea had been played for 35 minutes and the scoreboard was '2-3'.

With the home team up front and the visitors behind, Millwall trailed Chelsea by one goal.

This score is quite surprising.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Yang never thought that when the team scored two goals in the first half, the opponent Chelsea could score three goals.

Chelsea played very hard, counter-attacking with a very targeted play, even on the road, they seemed to be fighting harder than Millwall.

Chelsea's good form has brought a lot of frustration to Zhang Yang.

Chelsea's first goal, Zhang Yang tried to alert his players, but it didn't seem to work, and the goal was still scored.

When Zhang Yang predicted the second goal, there were only thirty seconds left.

Third goal......

Perhaps the consequence of Zhang Yang taking the initiative on the sidelines, reminding players to pay more attention to defense and personally intervene in the game, is that the prediction becomes inaccurate.

Zhang Yang simply didn't predict it.

Wes Morgan was given a flamboyant 'reminder' and was much tougher defensively, only to be fouled in the box and Chelsea were awarded a penalty.

Frank Lampard scores!

Zhang Yang hesitated, but still did not use the 'words with the law', and the 'words with the law' are also the remaining hole cards.

2 to 3, dangerous!

There was a lot of talk on the pitch, with the home fans still cheering on and the media talking, "Chelsea really have a good chance of ending Millwall's unbeaten run!" ”

In reality, the score was really bad and the game wasn't as far as it could have been.

Millwall weren't bad and would not have scored two goals otherwise.

A goal belongs to Braniff.

The other goal went to Luca Toney.

Braniff was the most active player, leading the way in the middle and partnering Livermore.

Morris had just played for England and was still in shape.

Sneijder also played in the Netherlands.

Zhang Yang thought about it, and simply put Sneijder on the bench, leaving Braniff alone in the middle.

Compared with Morris and Sneijder, Zhang Yang still trusts Braniff.

Braniff's personality is a little weird, but I have to admit that his strength is very strong, under the effect of 'words and spirits', Braniff has reached the level of the world's top superstar, and considering that the team's tactics are conducive to the player's play, Braniff's performance will definitely not be worse than Ronaldinho, Kaka and other players.

He is indeed the most dazzling.

Even if Chelsea were to take the lead, they had to go so far as they didn't have the players in their squad to match Braniff's performance.

In the past time, Zhang Yang has also seen some problems.

Chelsea's attacking intensity was not estimated before the game.

Chelsea switched to a passive style of play, attacking much more actively, Millwall was a little caught off guard, and after Chelsea played with confidence, the performance became a little better, even if Millwall scored, it did not interrupt their crazy state, and there was a big fight to beat and win the game.

Zhang Yang knew that he had to be steady.

Taking advantage of the break in the game, he hurriedly called Pire on the side and advised, "Let's play more steadily, we have to stabilize the defense!" Defend! Be sure to pay attention! Don't rush to attack, they're in great shape right now! ”

"We're not trying to bring down the opponent with a fast pace, but we're going to keep the defence stable."

"It's okay to be behind, there's still time in the second half, but don't give them another chance!"
