Jamie Vardy was quite impressive.

Under the defense of the Tottenham Hotspur backline, he still cooperated with his teammates again and again, and repeatedly used his personal ability, or broke through, or quickly dribbled the ball, causing the fans in the audience to cheer, but Tottenham Hotspur was very strict against Vardy, and it was not easy for Vardy to help the team open up the situation.

Zhang Yang noticed this.

It's really satisfying that Vardy can perform well, but it's too difficult to score goals with just one Vardy, and the attack has to be varied, always a striker to attack, even if he performs well, it's easy for the opponent to defend.

What about the other side?

Sending Curtis Weston in this game is actually a helpless choice, there are only these few people in the front line, Darren Bent has just recovered from injury, 'injury recovery' does not mean full recovery, it can only be said that it can help the team play, Zhang Yang does not want to see Bent injured again, Bent also needs a period of time to re-adapt.

Millwall's forward plan is to have four forwards, in addition to Bent, that is, Vardy and Weston, Braniff switched to midfield, and is also adapting to the rapid improvement of dribbling ability, Zhang Yang will not suddenly let him re-adapt to playing forward at this critical stage.

Then the only option is Curtis Weston.

In the last summer, Millwall made a squad reduction, and the players who were less qualified and played less played in the original squad have all left the team, and Weston can still stay in the team under such circumstances, which is a testament to his strength.

Weston's ability is qualified, his speed is very fast, except for his lack of experience, he is also a good striker, and the future is bright.

Zhang Yang still has hope for the Weston newspaper.

At this time, Zhang Yang also looked at Weston, and found that this guy was lowering his head, looking annoyed, as if he was dissatisfied with his performance, and he was also a little depressed.

Zhang Yang sighed.

From Weston's point of view, he can understand the reasons for the other party's disappointment, those teammates who have worked hard together from the Championship, almost all of them have made a name for themselves, even goalkeeper Graham Stark, who is about to become the main force, only Weston alone is the worst, he is still a marginal substitute in the front line.

But didn't Weston grow?

Of course not.

Millwall are not the Championship team they were two years ago, and they can't be said to be full of big names, but being able to compete with top teams such as Manchester United and Chelsea in the Premier League, and being able to participate in the top Champions League competitions is enough to prove that the team has become one of the top in Europe.

Throughout the growth of the team, players who can't keep up with the growth have the only choice but to leave.

Weston has also improved considerably, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed on the team, but the other teammates have improved too quickly and the light is too dazzling, and he seems to have turned into a green leaf, which makes people ignore it unconsciously.

Perhaps even Weston himself didn't realize that he had grown into a quality player.

Should I give him some confidence now?

Zhang Yang thought for a moment, took advantage of a dead ball opportunity, and immediately shouted into the field, "Curtis!" Curtis! ”

Weston was approaching the coach's seat, bowing his head and walking back, when he heard Zhang Yang's voice, he suddenly panicked in his heart, but he still turned his head to look over.

"Come here!"

Zhang Yang beckoned to Weston.

At this time, the opponent has already served, but Weston is on the court, and it doesn't matter if he is alone.

Weston walked over with a hard bite to go.

Zhang Yang didn't have time to talk nonsense, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't be downcast! You should be more positive! Remember what I told you? Without waiting for Weston to answer, he repeated, "When you get on the field, you have to pay attention to cooperate with Jamie, now you can notice that Jamie has attracted enough defense, and the opposing defenders will pay attention to Jamie, just two attacks, no one will defend you at all!" ”

"But what are you doing! You have to cheer up! Curtis! You are outstanding! You have to help share the responsibility of attacking, and if necessary, like now, you have to take responsibility for attacking! ”

Zhang Yang said these words in a loud way, and then looked at Weston's raised head, and his voice was a little 'gentle', "Curtis, I believe you are excellent, which is why I kept you on the team. Like Barry, Big Kevin, they're all gone, why? Because they can't keep up with the development of the team, they are not strong enough to support the continuation of the team. But you stay, you're a good player, don't give up on yourself, you have to be confident that you're not worse than any player on the pitch! ”

"Wait a minute, you just play at your own pace, pass, pass, dribble, dribble, shoot and don't hesitate, you know? I'm sure you're no worse than Jamie! ”

The flamboyant explanation made Weston smile again.

Weston is a very cheerful person, always laughing every day, and always thinking about the good side when encountering things, he was a little extreme just now.

After being reminded by Zhang Yangyi, he realized what he should do.

Now that he has arrived at the game, it makes no sense to give up on himself or something, he should work hard to perform, even if he is not as good as other teammates, he should work hard to perform and play, otherwise he will miss the opportunity to start, and then I don't know when it will be next time.

"I know what to do!" Weston nodded firmly.

————

Weston returned with a scrappy spirit, hoping to make a difference, but it wasn't easy to wait for an opportunity as Tottenham took the initiative in attack and kept possession of the ball, while Millwall spent most of the time defending.

That's the defensive counter-attack.

In the tactics of defensive counterattack, defense is the key, there will be few offensive opportunities, and in the few offensive times, there is often a big foot, and the ball is returned to the opponent's feet, and it is not easy for the striker to touch the ball.

This time Millwall finally launched a decent wave of fast attacks.

Not a counterattack, but an active fast attack.

Defensive counterattack can be all counterattack, when the ball is on their side, it is impossible to hand it directly to the opponent, always have to play a dozen frontal, the coaching staff to develop a frontal approach is to fast attack, based on fast passing, rapid advancement, to attack the opponent's half.

If the offense can succeed, it is naturally the best, and if it can't be successful, the backcourt players basically do not participate in the offense, and they have time to retreat and arrange the defense.

Weston was up front, slow to get the ball, and he watched Vardy, making two dangerous passes to his team-mates in quick succession, while himself was on the side, seemingly to no avail.

Weston raised his hand.

It was a gesture for his teammates to pass the ball.

The football was kicked back to Morris by Vardy, and Morris transferred to Pire on the left, Pire saw Weston raise his hand, he hesitated, most of the teammates in the team, Pire has a certain understanding, Weston is very special, because Weston does not play often, belongs to the fringe of the team, and does not have much communication with Pire.

Do you want to pass the ball?

Can that kid hold the ball? Is it trustworthy? Piret eventually broke through on his own, and when he was blocked forward, he tried to cut inside to the middle, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Weston's raised hand again.

In the end, Piret couldn't bear to hurt the enthusiasm of a young player, and he felt that he should give more opportunities to young players, like Vardy, who did quite well.

Weston?

He shouldn't be too bad!

Pire passed the ball and with it was Tottenham player Tom Huddlestone.

Huddlestone is a young and dazzling player, having come through the Derby County Academy, starting for Derby County at the age of 16 before signing a regular professional contract at the age of 17.

When Huddlestone joined Tottenham for £2.5 million two years ago, he had only been playing for Derby County for a year and was just over 18 years old.

After a year of training, Huddlestone has started playing for Tottenham.

In this game, Huddlestone was trusted by the head coach Joel, and started the game as a midfielder, Huddlestone's running is still more, and it cannot be described as an old way in the back position, but it can be regarded as qualified.

Huddlestone is responsible for defending Weston, and in the past half hour or so, Huddlestone has the upper hand against Weston, which also gives him confidence in the defense.

Weston is younger than himself and his reputation is not much worse than his own, but the opponent is still under his own defense and has almost no performance.

Millwall's young talent?

That's it!

Huddlestone pounced with a hint of contempt, intending to cut off the ball right at Weston's feet.

This time he pounced!

Weston had already calmed down, he watched Huddles pass, did not stop the ball at all, but took the ball out with his right foot, and then jumped lightly to the left, dodging Huddlestone's movement.

Huddlestone was still stunned.

What's going on?

Why didn't you grab it?

The audience erupted in cheers from the Millwall fans!

When Huddlestone turned his head, he realized that Weston had already run away with the ball.

————

Weston shook Huddlestone away with a light movement, causing the Millwall fans in the stands to cheer.

In Millwall's game, subtle coordination is common, but direct dribbling is still very rare, especially with Weston...... It's just that Weston, a Millwall fringe striker, showed exquisite footwork in the game, shaking off the interceptions of Tottenham players, no matter how you think about it, it deserves to be cheered.

Millwall fans won't think that Weston is shaking off Huddlestone, a young man who is only a year older than Weston.

The cheers of the fans fell into Weston's ears, which made him feel that it was the recognition given to him by the fans, and he suddenly became more confident, and the rhythm of dribbling became smoother.

Seeing Huddlestone being shaken over, Tottenham's backline also hurriedly reacted.

One centre-back continued to mark Jamie Vardy, while the other centre-back stayed at the back to prevent unforeseen circumstances, while the other players did their part.

For a moment, there was no one to defend Weston.

"He's going to pass the ball!" That's what almost all the Tottenham players think, they don't believe that Weston, who doesn't have much of a standout, can pose any threat to the Tottenham defence, and the opponent will definitely pass the ball to his team-mates no matter how they take it.

It was just a momentary reaction.

Weston was stunned for a moment, he ran forward with the ball, just to get rid of Huddlestone, and did not intend to go it alone.

Why doesn't the opponent defend?

It didn't take long for Weston to react, and the other party must have felt that he could not pose a threat by letting himself move forward.

To show it is to look down on people!

This made him grit his teeth even more and rush forward in the hope of making a performance.

When Weston managed to take five meters and was about to enter the penalty area, the Tottenham players finally realized that something was wrong, no matter how good Weston was, if he let him enter the box so smoothly, there would definitely be problems.

Centre-back Dawson noticed Jenas running back and quickly abandoned his defence on Vardy and rushed towards Weston instead.

Dawson's experience is still quite rich.

The route that Jenas ran over was just stuck between Weston and Vardy, and Weston couldn't pass the ball to Vardy, so he could go over and defend without hesitation.

Weston was moving forward quickly, noticed Dawson running over, quickly slowed down to protect the ball, and after rushing past the penalty line, he also had to run to the outside with the ball under Dawson's forced defense.

It's hard to shoot on goal with such a route.

Seeing Weston forced out by Dawson, Tottenham fans exhaled lightly, and Huddlestone on the other side was also relieved that he couldn't defend against Weston.

If there is any accident, he must be responsible.

As a young young young man in his twenties, Huddlestone still attaches great importance to performance, and in such an important game, there are not many opportunities to start, and if you make a mistake and leave a bad impression on the coach, it will be difficult to play in the future competition.

Weston couldn't face the goal, and the crisis was almost over.

————

Millwall's teammates couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they saw Weston's dribbling line, but the attack continued, and Pire, Vardy and Morris all started to run to meet Weston who was about to reach the baseline.

At this time, it was not easy for Weston to return the pass.

In the process of dribbling the ball, Weston only noticed Vardy's position with the corner of his eye, but he couldn't pass the ball over, so he could only continue to take it forward, seeing that he was about to reach the bottom line, it seemed that he was going out of bounds in the next moment, but Weston was still very calm, he clearly remembered what the coach said, "You have to shoulder the responsibility of attacking!" ”

Take responsibility for the offense!

Doesn't that mean you can stand up on your own and help the team score goals?

Now is your chance!

"Stay calm!"

Weston used flamboyant words to motivate himself, and kept reminding himself in his heart that when the football was about to go out of the bottom line, he took a step forward, then twisted his waist, strode forward with his right foot, and stepped into the grass.

Weston twisted his waist and turned around again, took the ball back, then raised his head slightly, instantly glanced at the edge of the penalty area, captured a figure, and before Dawson counterattacked, he swung the outside of his left foot and kicked the football, which rotated and reappeared in the center of the penalty area.

Pire's first point, did not grab.

Ledley King, Vardy and Jenas were the second points, all three of whom couldn't touch the ball.

Behind them, a figure rushed forward and swung his right foot at the football!

"Livermore ——!"

"Bump!"

The commentator's shout had just sounded, and the football rushed towards the goal in an instant, like a bolt of lightning, and when the shadow was caught again, it had already penetrated deep into the middle of the net.

Goalkeeper Robinson didn't react!

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！”

"Livermore! Livermore! The ball is in! 1 to 0! Livermore grabbed the point and shot cleanly! Goalkeeper Robinson couldn't react at all! Livermore helped Millwall score their first goal, and it was an assist from youngster Weston! ”

At the shouts of the commentators, the auditorium erupted like a volcano of rage!

————

Many Tottenham players were stunned when they saw this.

Including Jenas, including Dawson, and also including Huddlestone, they didn't look at Livermore, who scored the goal, but Weston, who passed the assist.

Curtis Weston?

Almost no players thought that this young and overly young player could be a real threat, but what they didn't expect was that in the face of Dawson's defense, he could pass such a good ball.

Millwall also took the lead with this goal!

The Tottenham players looked at Weston, and they all felt that their brains were not enough, and they were also annoyed that they should not underestimate each other before.

This guy is young and young, and he doesn't have a lot of game experience, but he can play as a substitute at Millwall and start in such an important game, and he is by no means a player in the youth team.

The Millwall players have already reacted!

Livermore rushed to Weston's side as soon as possible, the two were old teammates, and they were very familiar with each other, they came to a big hug, maybe Livermore was too hard, and when he let go, Weston was suffocated and his cheeks were red.

Piret also rushed over!

Pire and Weston weren't familiar, but it didn't affect the Frenchman's excitement, because he felt that the goal had his own credit, and if he hadn't chosen to trust Weston and pass the ball, Weston wouldn't have had that opportunity.

The rest of his teammates also came around --

"Well done!"

"The cross was fantastic!"

"Curtis! I thought you'd lose the ball, but I didn't expect it——! ”

"Brilliant cross! You've overrun the opponent's entire line! It's just amazing! "Morris's statement is certainly exaggerated, and Weston just shook Huddlestone away, but it doesn't affect the excitement of the others.

Millwall has scored!

That's the most important thing, and as for the goalscoring process, it's not an exaggeration at all.

Weston was very excited to be surrounded by everyone, and while celebrating with his teammates, he couldn't help but look at the coach's box, who was standing on the sidelines, clapping his hands constantly.

I can't see the coach's performance, but he's happy with my performance, right?

Weston felt relaxed.
