Amid the cheers of Millwall, the game was restarted with neither team making any adjustments and the game going as it was.

Leicester City's players are not willing to be behind at home and will be hoping to try to equalise.

So they're trying to pick up the pace.

The pass was quicker and the pass was more forward, but when they did, they found that they had less time on the ball because as the tempo increased, the errors kept increasing, and the opponent spent more time on the ball.

Leicester City players also found that the game was not as easy as manager Adams said, and Millwall were by no means easy teams to play against, even if they were playing at home, it would be very difficult to play to the advantage.

This form can be seen by many people.

Those who have studied football in depth will be able to see the situation of the two teams in just a few minutes of play.

From a possession point of view, Leicester have the advantage, they play better together, and they play more excitingly, but they can hardly rely on their combination to break down the Millwall defence.

Millwall's offense has nothing to say, whether it is advancing or the counterattack that follows with a sudden break, the only bright spot is only one word - fast, they do not pursue the subtlety of the transmission, do not pursue the flamboyance of the attack, and play completely targeted and practical football.

When defending, Millwall is using full-court pressing, especially in the area from the penalty area to the halfway line, the players run more and defend more tightly.

This simple style of play leaves Leicester City at all.

Leicester City picked up the tempo, which did not discourage Millwall at all, but rather increased the number of mistakes they made, so they became more passive.

Adams saw the situation, he could no longer maintain his demeanor, walked to the sideline and shouted into the court, "Steady! Be sure to hold on! Do a good job of ball control and avoid mistakes! ”

That's the strategy to be.

What Leicester should be doing at the moment is slowing down to the point where they are most comfortable, which means that Millwall will be a little uncomfortable, even if it is difficult for slow-paced football to find opportunities up front, they must control the ball and control the game steadily.

That would be in their best interest.

Leicester City's players heard Adams' shouts before they regained their spirits and threw themselves into the game, they were still eager to score, but they could only patiently look for opportunities.

The first half passed quickly.

Leicester City were unable to equalise and Millwall did not find a chance to score again, but Millwall had a goal in hand, the advantage was still obvious, and when the midfield arrived, the players looked relatively relaxed.

Zhang Yang was quite satisfied with the first half, the team played the characteristics it should have, and also completed a goal.

In the second half, it was time to be patient.

Leicester City don't have the patience to compete, it's not that Adams is limited as a manager, and he would rather beat Millwall than simply 'try to tie'.

Before the game, Adams made a big statement, saying that he wanted to beat Millwall at home, and that the victory would definitely belong to Leicester City, and he told the team to work hard to achieve the goal, otherwise the game would be tantamount to a slap in the face.

Adams was actually putting pressure on himself.

Leicester made a change in attack in the second half, still focusing on their ability to play with small areas as their main means, but when the ball was passed to the edge of the box, they significantly increased the number of long-range shots.

In the 49th minute, Leicester City advanced to the front of the penalty area, and midfielder Tom White was 25 meters from the goal and hit the goal with his feet.

It was a surprise attack.

Tom White's long-range shooting ability was clearly lacking, as his shot was only on target and the ball was comfortably picked up by goalkeeper Graham.

Five minutes later, Leicester City repeated their old game, and when the ball was passed to the front of the box, they stopped trying to pass it further, and striker James Scowcroft won the game and fired a fierce shot.

Goalkeeper Graham pounced, but he couldn't get his hands on the ball, but the ball flew off the line nearly half a metre from the right-hand post.

"Hoo ......"

The Leicester fans at the scene regretted that the ball could not be scored, and the Millwall players were also a little afraid.

Sky Sports commentator Paul Stout on shooting, "It was Scowcroft! His long-range shot was dangerous and he almost broke through the Millwall gate! ”

Next he began to introduce Scowcroft.

James Scowcroft is a stellar Championship player who made a name for himself in Ipswich Town, helping Ipswich Town to 98 goals in five seasons and is a dangerous striker.

He is also Leicester's second-top scorer and has helped them to 12 goals this season.

It was also the most dangerous shot from the opening kick-off, and although the football didn't score, it gave Leicester a morale boost, and they were ready to go into attack.

————

From the beginning of the second half, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines.

In the playing field, the home and away coach's bench are divided into areas, and the seats on the bench extend to the playing field, until about one meter from the sideline, which is the area of the coach's box.

This is not a contest rule, but a rule to be followed by default.

The area marked by the white line only represents the boundary, and it doesn't matter if you leave some, such as when the substitute is ready to play and warm up alone, he will go out of the area.

That's allowed.

There is not much problem for others to occasionally go out of the area, as long as it does not affect the game and does not provoke the fans behind them, the referee team generally ignores the situation of the coaching bench.

Zhang Yang stood on the regional line.

This position is already the most forward, and any further near the sideline will affect the work of the linesman, but even standing here, he is still being looked at by the linesman, and the fourth official seems to want to remind him that the position should be further back.

Zhang Yang glanced at his feet, just stepped on the white line, he shrugged his shoulders and ignored it, and continued to watch the game seriously.

No, it should be said that I continued to look at the playing cards seriously.

From the beginning of the second half of the game, the camera continued to point to Zhang Yang, he was wearing a casual suit, the dress was not so solemn, but also highlighted the young and capable temperament, plus the identity of the head coach, it is still very eye-catching, but what is more eye-catching is that he is always playing poker in his hand, and many times his attention is also on the playing cards, rather than paying close attention to the game.

Sky Sports commentator Paul Scott interprets this by saying, "Zhang Yang is still too young, he has not yet passed the stage of 'playing', and he pays more attention to the beautiful poker in his hand than the boring game." The TV screen in the live broadcast of the tournament also gave the poker a close-up shot.

Other people's understanding of this is 'not doing business'.

Zhang Yang doesn't care what others think, he is actually using foreknowledge to judge the next game, and also consider the form of the two sides.

Others can only see the past games, while he can see what will happen in the next five minutes, and so far there have been no goals in the 'foreknowledge', but the game can be analysed from the situation to analyse the real situation of the game.

Scowcroft's shot was quite threatening, but in the judgment of 'foresight', Leicester City did not play a similar threat in the following time, and there was no direct goal, Millwall's goal was still safe, and Scowcroft's long-range shot was just an accident in the game.

As long as it's a fortuitous event, don't worry too much.

If Leicester City can always rely on long-range shots to bring threats, they need to be very worried, prediction is not omnipotent, and other supernatural abilities will not be of much use under constant threat.

So the overall situation is still quite critical.

Zhang Yang exhaled.

The game continues.

It was a great game in the space of five minutes, Leicester were doing well and they seemed to be getting better and better, and although they have yet to score, many believe it is only a matter of time before they score.

But there was a smile on his face.

In the 71st minute, Leicester City's attack was intercepted by the midfielder, Millwall launched a quick attack, and after the football was passed to the right, Josh Simpson cut in laterally to the middle and kicked it to Jody Morris.

Jody Morris shook off a defender and rushed into the box with the ball.

The threat this time is too great.

Leicester City's Greek defender Dabizas was anxious and brought down Jody Morris with a kick in the box!

There was an exclamation from the audience!

The referee ran over and awarded the penalty without any suspense, and the Leicester players argued anxiously, but no matter what they said, there was nothing they could do to change the referee's decision, because Dabizas's foul was too obvious.

Jody Morris stood up and was ready to take the penalty.

At this time, Zhang Yang said to Joey Healy, who ran by, "Let Neil go for free throws." Joey Healy didn't know why, but he still made a fancy decision to Morris.

"Neil going to make free throws?"

Morris was also a little confused, but he didn't really want to take the penalty, because the fall just now made his ankle slightly uncomfortable.

So he said, "Neil, punish you!" The boss said to let you come! ”

Neil Harris is even more confused, but he is still happy in his heart, as a striker, the number of goals is quite important, he is thirty-two years old, he didn't fight for anything, but he didn't expect the coach to take care of him very much.

Harriston was a little happy.

In fact, in the team, the competitive pressure is still not small, Kevin Keele has always performed well, coupled with the ability of the more versatile and younger Braniff, his main position can be unstable, it is definitely good to have a goal, even if it is a penalty, the goal must be counted on his head.

Neil Harris walked to position.

After the referee signalled that he could take the penalty, he faced Leicester City goalkeeper Walker, who kicked a shot that sought angle, Harris's action deceived Walker, he pounced on the left, but the ball flew into the net from the right.

"The ball is in!"

"Hoo ......"

There were lamented cries from Leicester City fans.

Sky Sports commentator Paul Scott shouted, "It was probably a penalty that made Leicester desperate, Millwall had a two-goal lead!" It wasn't easy for them to get two goals back in the following time. ”

Zhang Yang also took a long breath.

In 'Foresight', Jody Morris didn't kick the ball in, and it didn't take long for Morris to be out of the game.

He seems to have died injured?

A goal in exchange for a core injury, I don't know if it's worth it or not, but fortunately, the injury is not too serious, and when Millwall celebrated the goal, Zhang Yang replaced Morris.

Braniff is back on the scene.

Braniff replaces Morris, of course, not to let him play the core, at this stage of the game, the role of the core players is very small, with Marvin Elliott in the midfield, Josh Simpson and Joey Healy on the wing, the offense can still play, Braniff's personal ability is also good, and his appearance can form a greater threat to the opponent.

A lot of people wondered that Morris was substituted.

The reporters in the media table were quite surprised, they couldn't figure out why Zhang Yang chose to replace Morris, especially when Morris wanted to make a free throw just now, Zhang Yang seemed to interfere in the selection of free throws, and finally it was Neil Harris who made free throws.

"Do you mean...... Zhang Yang and Morris have a conflict? Many media are excitedly speculating.

This is big news, top news!

By now, Zhang Yang has been very influential, because Millwall, which he led, has jumped in results, and there is a great prospect of directly competing for promotion places, and there are very few players in the entire Millwall team who have the ability to adjust Zhang Yang's authority.

Jody Morris is the special one.

He's a big star.

He is worth as much as a third of Millwall's market capitalisation.

Jody Morris is also the most central player in the entire Millwall team, and he has been extremely good in every game.

If Morris is dissatisfied with Zhang Yang, the Millwall dressing room will fall apart for this, and probably the Millwall senior management will also consider letting this young man go!

Some of the media thought expectantly.

Morris didn't have a problem with Zhang Yang, he just wondered why he didn't let him take a penalty kick and why he was substituted off the field, and when he walked to the sideline, he understood, because Zhang Yang said to him, "I see that you seem to be injured, hurry up and check it out." ”

It dawned on Morris!

From the time he fell just now, he felt some pain in his ankle, which he didn't take seriously, but now it seems to be a little more painful.

But......

How did Zhang Yang know?

Morris was so shocked that he went to the team doctor for a check-up, and when he took off his shoes, he found that his ankle was bruised.

He's hurt.

Although it is only a small injury, it is certain that I will recuperate for two or three days, and I don't know if I can participate in the next game.

Quite a few people surrounded Morris.

Surrounded by everyone, Morris was in no mood to pay attention to his feet, but looked at Zhang Yang with a surprised face.

How did he know?

Could it be that through observation, I was walking a little awkwardly, and he could see it? Morris was a little unimaginable, and he suddenly remembered a sentence from Weston's joke, "The boss is a magical person, and his thoughts and judgments cannot be judged by common sense!" We, as mortal beings created by God, are fine as long as we obey the command. ”

Weston seems prescient!
