Chapter 616: Celebratory Actions in Advance
During the warm-up, Urawa Ruby seemed to like to show off his footwork, with players constantly cushioning the ball and showing excellent ball control skills, which also attracted cheers from the fans.
Millwall's momentum was suppressed.
If you want to say that the team has good skills, it is Sneijder and Braniff, but Blaniff doesn't seem interested in showing his footwork, Sneijder is not in the squad at all, his state is a little bad, Zhang Yang let him rest in the hotel, so he doesn't have to play with the team.
It seems difficult to get Braniff to suppress the arrogance of the other party.
So everyone looked to Livermore.
Livermore smiled gently, but his face looked a little hideous, and he picked up a soccer ball and threw it in the air, then swung his right foot.
"Bang!"
The loud muffled noise instantly drowned out the cries of the fans, and the football flew into the goal like a cannonball, sticking to the turf.
The surroundings suddenly remembered and exclaimed, "Look! It's Livermore! ”
"That big guy!"
"That's a lot of strength!"
"The shot just now was terrible, I don't know if Urawa Ruby can defend against this kind of ball...... I think it's hard to ......."
"yes!"
As the Japanese fans discussed, the spectator stands also resounded in support of Livermore.
"Livermore!"
"Livermore!"
Listening to the cries of the fans, the Millwall players were more certain of one thing -
The coach was right!
These Japanese-Ben fans really only worship the strong, and if they lose the game, even if they win all the European championships, they will not support it.
Contrarily.
As long as you show strong in front of them, the more balls you win, the more support you get!
The players suddenly became determined.

While the two teams were warming up, Zhang Yang was dealing with the media in the mixed zone.
Most of the people who came were Japanese-local media, as well as a large number of media from neighboring countries and regions, and there were also a lot of reporters from China.
Zhang Yang was surrounded by reporters, and he also answered a few questions in a coping manner, mostly about the Millwall team.
When the reporter's topic shifted to the game, Zhang Yang reversed his usual low-key style, "Our opponent is ...... Shore...... What gemstones? Sorry, but although my Japanese is good, I'm not very good at translating names. ”
This is simply a slap in the face.
Journalists from other countries almost laughed out loud, because Zhang Yang's Japanese is very good, and he is not even worse than the local Japanese-himself, and a person who is so proficient in languages does not know the name of his opponent?
Is it possible?
Even if you don't know much Japanese, the problem is that the game is in English, and the name of the Urawa Ruby team will be marked in English.
He did it on purpose!
Everyone can see that the faces of the Japanese-Ben reporters are not good, and they can all hear the hostility of Zhang Yang towards Japanese-Bencian football? No, it should be said that hostility towards Urawa Ruby.
The other party is too arrogant!
Think that if you lead Millwall to win the Champions League, you can look down on the Japanese-Ben team?
It seems like...... Yes, you can.
But in any case, you should also maintain the necessary respect for your opponents!
The Japanese-current media are holding their breath, hoping that Urawa Ruby can fight for a breath and defeat Millwall in the semifinals, and then look at this damn Chinese, what face can they face them!

Urawa Ruby is one of the best teams in the Japan-Ben J League.
Founded in 1950 in Japan-Kobe, Urawa Ruby was formerly known as the Nihon-Chuo Heavy Industries Club, renamed Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1952, moved to Tokyo in 1958, and founded the Amateur League in Japan-Hon, where they were one of the founding teams.
In the late '60s and early '80s, Urawa Ruby experienced a golden age, winning the top flight and the Emperor's Cup four times, as well as the League Cup twice.
In 1992, the professional league was established in Japan-Moto, and the team was renamed Mitsubishi Urawa Club.
In 1996, the club established its current name, Urawa Ruby Club, and although they were relegated in 2000, Ruby returned to the J-League the following season, winning the League Cup in 2003. In 2004, Urawa Ruby won the second stage of the J-League. In 2005, ruby won the Emperor's Cup again.
Last season, Urawa Ruby successfully defended the cup title and won the J-League title for the first time in history. After winning the AFC Champions League, Urawa Ruby became the first Japanese team to participate in the Club World Cup.
Urawa Ruby can be considered one of the strongest teams in Asian football, and has been a strong contender for the AFC Champions League in recent years, but Urawa Ruby has limited competitiveness compared to European teams, let alone Millwall, who have a dominant performance.
This is the analysis of the media in other countries.
The Japanese-current media may be arrogant, they think that Urawa Ruby, if they can beat the last AFC Champions League winner strongly, has the ability to compete with European teams, and Millwall is not a traditional giant, maybe it is not the opponent of Urawa Ruby.
Under the public opinion, the game finally began
Millwall lined up the 352 formation, and Zhang Yang just wanted the team to play an offensive battle, as for whether Urawa Ruby would shrink in defense...... He doesn't think that Urawa Ruby can compare with tough opponents in the league, the gap in strength between the two sides is a bit big, and there is no need to be conservative at all.
It's a cup competition.
Presumably, Urawa Ruby didn't want to be reluctant to lose face in Japan-Ben fans, so he played with a conservative defensive style and went to the game utilitarianly.
Zhang Yang guessed right!
As soon as the game began, Urawa Ruby took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch an attack on Millwall, two wings, the middle, and then the striker, except for two central defenders and one full-back, the rest of the players all rushed into Millwall's half.
Zhang Yang's radical style of play at the beginning surprised Zhang Yang, but he had a hundred likes in his heart.
All right!
Millwall's favorite game is to play against the attack!
When Urawa Ruby had just attacked, Zhang Yang also walked to the sidelines, and when the camera camera pointed over, he noticed that Zhang Yang made a movement: he raised one hand and clenched his fists.
What do you mean?
It seemed to represent a victory, or a celebration of a goal, but now the game has just begun.
Declare victory early?
The commentator of Japan-Ben Sports TV couldn't figure it out, and he analyzed it to the fans, saying, "On the surface, this is a celebratory action, but the game has just begun, and it may be a command action formulated by Zhang Yang." Now Urawa Ruby is attacking, and he probably asks the whole team to defend well......"
Before he could finish speaking, Urawa Ruby lost the ball.
Urawa Ruby midfielder Makoto Furube, who has never experienced face-to-face with Livermore, doesn't know how it feels, he was gently squeezed by Livermore, his body center of gravity was unstable, and he was directly tackled when he couldn't control the ball.
Makoto Changgube hurriedly raised his hand and signaled for a foul on Livermore.
The referee ignored him.
Livermore is a standard defensive move, the two are a normal confrontation, and Makoto Changgube is not strong enough, what can be done?
If it can't be squeezed, the opponent will foul, then football may be able to stipulate that no physical collision is allowed.
Of course it can't be.
Livermore grabbed the ball and immediately handed it to Braniv in front.
Braniff pushes sideways to transfer to Maxi.
Maxi started to move forward quickly, and the Argentine winger was very fast, and in a matter of seconds, he took the ball to the corner of the opponent's penalty area.
Urawa Ruby players were running back like crazy, but the speed was still a little insufficient, and before the opponent's midfield retreated, Maxi resent the ball to the middle.
Braniff met the ball and kicked it to the right side of the box.
Vardy received the ball with his back to defender Tanaka Douli Wang, just when most people felt that Tanaka Douli King was behind Vardy and the goal was still safe, Vardy kicked the ball to the left side, and then turned around suddenly, which was a volley!
The soccer ball flew past Tanaka's legs, and he couldn't react at all.
Goalkeeper Tsutsuki Ryuta was the same, he was blocked from view, and by the time he saw the ball flying over, it was already too late.
The football flew into the goal without any suspense!
The whole team also fell silent, and the fans in the stands around were a little incredulous--
"The ball is in!?"
The commentator of the Japanese-Ben Sports TV station was more professional, and immediately asked questions when he saw the goal, and then said affirmatively, "The ball is in!" It was Vardy, Millwall's top scorer, and in just one minute of the game, Vardy broke through the door guarded by Tsutsuki Ryuta! ”
The camera lens pans to the sidelines.
I saw that Zhang Yang still maintained his celebratory movements, with a confident smile on his face.
