Chapter 629: It's a Shame to Win the Game

The outside media are analyzing Millwall's problems. With {dream} small ◢.1a

It was Suarez who scored in the last round of the league, and Luca Toney, who started the game, was obviously not in good shape, and in addition, Vardy was not seen in two consecutive league games, and some media even speculated, "Vardy may be injured, but it has not been announced." ”

But soon Millwall's training scene responded forcefully to the grapevine, and Vardy was in normal training and showed great spirits.

But it's just Vardy.

Millwall's external performance is obviously a little tired, and the players in the front, middle and back three have been in poor form in the last two games.

It's a fact.

Zhang Yang also has a bit of a headache and he hopes to get back into shape as soon as possible, but the bad news comes first, Morris has a sprained ankle in training and needs to rest for two weeks, and he will miss all the games during the Christmas period.

Zhang Yang was helpless about this.

The outside media suddenly had something to say, and they took Morris as an example, "Millwall is about to go through a wave of injuries!" ”

"First Morris, then who?"

Zhang Yang is not worried about this, Morris's injury is just an accident, the training state of the players shows that they are recovering well, the most representative is Vardy, who has been alive and round again and can cope with the big game.

The other players are very good as well.

This is also related to the past half a month, Zhang Yang has made appropriate rotations, even in the game with Manchester United, the players who should have rested have been rested, and then in the game with Olympiacos, the players who played were all in good physical condition, and Middlesbrough also sent a semi-main lineup, even if the state still had a little impact, but the most dangerous moment has passed.

The flamboyant eyes are already on Christmas.

Christmas.

For ordinary people, it is an important holiday of the year, and for Premier League clubs, it means a difficult schedule, generally clubs have to play every three days, and if the schedule is adjusted, it will be closer to two days.

Millwall played in the Club World Cup, and one game was moved to after Christmas, so it was natural that they belonged to the team with a tight schedule.

On December 26, the first day of the Christmas game, they will take on Newcastle United away.

On December 28, they will host Blackburn Rovers.

On December 30, they will host Benitez's Liverpool.

On January 3, they will also play Bolton Wanderers away.

Such a dense schedule makes people's scalps tingle to watch, and Zhang Yang also makes the team fully prepared, in order to be able to maintain the condition, each player must complete training and also maintain two nutritious meals a day.

Vacation, no.

On Christmas Day, Zhang Yang only let the players take half a day off and take time to get together with his family, and he simply lived in the club by himself, and he seemed a little pitiful to be alone.

He didn't go home.

Ivanka returned to New York, and there was only one person left in the family, nannies and bodyguards were not counted, and there was no way to communicate with them at all, so it was better to be in the club and think about the team.

An unexpected phone call made Zhang Yang very warm, and it was Old John who called, who seemed to know that Ivanka was leaving, so he invited Zhang Yang to his home to spend Christmas together.

Zhang Yang agreed.

At Old John's house, he met Catherine, but nothing happened except for a hearty Christmas dinner together.

When sitting in the living room, Zhang Yang couldn't help but recall the past, when he lived in the upstairs room, and Old John was always urging for rent, which was really interesting.

At that time, he had just crossed over, and he didn't have any special pursuits, just thinking that it would be good to make a little money and live a good life.

Now the mentality is completely different.

Even in order to marry Ivanka and for the sake of his baby daughter, he must build a career.

Zhang Yang talked to Catherine.

Catherine is already a second-tier female star, and she has changed a lot, but she is still a little innocent and has not been polluted by the entertainment industry.

After old John and Ebson went upstairs, Zhang Yang and Catherine sat in the car together, talking about Catherine's work, the pressure she faced, the difficulties she encountered, etc., the atmosphere was a little ambiguous and warm, but Zhang Yang had a calm heart, he didn't drink, but nothing happened indiscriminately.

They talked for a long time.

When the time was almost up, Zhang Yang sent Catherine back, but as soon as she went upstairs, she didn't come down again.

Zhang Yang felt very depressed.

He trusted Catherine so much, but was forcibly pushed into bed.

The violent woman really hasn't changed!

It's still violent!

At the beginning, Zhang Yang could only resist silently, and later he could only silently obey, this night was really a bit ridiculous, and in the end he was not defeated by Catherine, but by his own determination.

When he returned to the club again, Zhang Yang calmed down.

"There is always a lot of helplessness in life!"

Zhang Yang sighed.

He didn't have time to think about anything more and led the team to Newcastle that morning to challenge Newcastle United away.

There is no suspense in this game.

Newcastle United are also a strong team, but Millwall have recovered for so long, the players are in good shape, and they came out in a set and a half lineup, and Millwall won comfortably by two goals.

After the game, the Newcastle United boss said helplessly, "Against Millwall, it's useless to rely on the team's good performance, if they perform poorly, we can take away the points." ”

After winning the first game of Christmas, Millwall's unbeaten run extended to 56 games, and this form of Millwall shocked all the media, but they quickly set their sights on the next round.

Blackburn.

The media suddenly had a new rhetoric, and they gave a special meaning to the game, which is the so-called 'curse of reincarnation'.

The 'curse of reincarnation' is the curse of the team's unbeaten record, the most famous is the 58-game unbeaten run created by AC Milan, the record began when AC Milan and Parma played each other, the two teams ended the game 0-0, and the record ended with Parma, Parma defeated AC Milan 1-0 at home.

This is a cycle of reincarnation.

There are several other teams that have gone dozens of games unbeaten in a row, and they, like AC Milan, have fallen under the "curse of reincarnation".

In the 1993-1994 season, Dutch powerhouse Ajax beat Willem II to start a 54-match unbeaten streak, ending in January 1996 when Ajax were beaten by Willem II.

In the domestic A League, Dalian Wanda defeated Shanghai Shenhua in 1995 and achieved a 55-game unbeaten streak in the A League, and finally their unbeaten record was ended by Shenhua in Shanghai.

Now it's Millwall.

Millwall's unbeaten record began with a match against Blackburn, and when they met Blackburn Rovers again, the media hyped up the 'curse of reincarnation', believing that Blackburn Rovers could end Millwall's unbeaten run.

The media thought they had given Millwall a perfect result for their unbeaten record.

It's a pity that Zhang Yang disagreed.

If the unbeaten record is ended, the mission will not be completed, and he does not think that Braniff has the ability to challenge Millwall away, and when he heard reporters talk about the so-called curse, Zhang Yang is still very low-key, "This is a perfect setting. I also believe Blackburn have what it takes to beat Millwall. The team has been inconsistent lately and all I can say is that we will try to play. ”

The flamboyant statement immediately gave the media confidence, and their reports became even hotter.

And then......

Millwall slaughtered visiting Blackburn Rovers 6-0 at home, and Blackburn had no chance to fight back at full-time, opening just four minutes before Luca Toney opened the scoring.

Then it's show time for Millwall.

Some time ago, Millwall's form was not good, every player was holding back their energy, and the outside world kept reporting the news that Millwall was going to lose, which made them feel very unhappy, and they vented their feelings in the game.

Blackburn is tragic.

After the game, Zhang Yang continued to talk about the 'reincarnation curse', "It was very interesting. But it's a bit of a shame that we won the game. It's a shame......" he said, his face full of regret, as if not losing was a failure.

Media reporters had an urge to vomit blood.
