When he saw Braniff kick the ball into the goal, Zhang Yang and the others rushed out, hugged excitedly, and when he calmed down, he was still clapping his hands.

The performance of a few players up front was really satisfying.

Vardy, Braniff, and Quaresma, the trio formed a trident, and the triangle went straight through the Roma defence.

It was a goal that was scored by cooperation.

Zhang Yang has always been very clear that the team's ability to cooperate is limited, most of the players' technical ability is not up to standard, such as Livermore, it is better to expect him to cooperate with his teammates to penetrate the opponent's defense, it is better to expect him to kick the world wave 50 meters away.

The other players are a bit more skilled, but the gap is still noticeable compared to the top teams.

Now the team has done it.

Vardy, Braniff, Quaresma, the three players are relatively good in technique, among which Quaresma is the best in technique, Vardy and Braniff are similar, the three form a trident on the right side, and the threat is still relatively large.

"Maybe we should think more about similar small-scale coordination routines in the future."

Zhang Yang thought.

In terms of small routines, Millwall has just started, which is also because the team has grown too fast, and they have not even adapted to basic tactics, there are very few small routines to cooperate with, and the coaching staff has come up with very few routines.

Football games also need routines.

Under a fixed tactical framework, allowing players to freely combine to carry out a certain range of routines can greatly strengthen the team's offensive ability.

That's all for later.

In the attack just now, Jamie Vardy, Braniff and Quaresma were quite impressive, with Braniff leading the attack, playing a real central role and finishing the last shot.

Vardy drew in the defence and delivered a clever pass.

Quaresma didn't take credit and didn't shoot himself when he saw a bad opportunity, but kicked the ball back into the middle.

This is not a routine formulated before the game, but the on-the-spot performance of the three people, how rare it is can be imagined.

"It's all the future!"

"Maybe they can all grow into big stars in the future!"

Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Yang is a little excited, and the future of Quaresma in his memory is not very good, as a Portuguese genius on the same level as C-Ronaldo, he can only play tricks later.

Vardy became famous relatively late, and his fame is still good, but maybe there is a better future for early fame?

Braniff ......

This guy with a strange personality is not famous at all.

Zhang Yang has long been able to understand why Braniff is not famous, with this guy's character, he can offend his teammates, even the head coach and assistant coach, the contradiction within the team alone is a big problem, even if the performance is good, it is difficult to have a chance to play, and if there is no chance to play, it will definitely drown out everyone, and slowly fade out of professional football.

Now there's a change.

Braniff has made a name for himself, his future has been changed, even if he leaves Millwall to go to another team, he will definitely get a chance, and as a big star, it is not a problem to have a strange personality, and he will definitely be reused.

These are all changes.

Wise walked up to Zhang Yang, looked at the players celebrating on the field, and sighed to Zhang Yang, "I didn't expect Kevin and Jamie to be so good." He sighed as he thought back to two years ago, when he was head coach, when Braniv was just a backup forward, and he reused Neil Harris, and he felt that Braniv was not as good as Kevin Gere, a high school forward at the time.

Now to make a comparison, Braniff has become a famous star, and Kevin Gere is still in the lower leagues.

'If Braniff had been reused at the time, maybe Millwall wouldn't have done so badly, right?' ’

Wise thought.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "One game, one goal, I hope they can always perform well." ”

It's an expectation.

One game, one goal, can be said to be special, the strength of the 'brain hole duo' is still there, whether they can maintain an excellent performance, it is uncertain.

"I've found that Jamie and Kevin have a very good understanding."

This is a new discovery.

Before Braniff played on the left wing, Vardy also played relatively rarely, and the two were not on the field at the same time, but now the two appear together, and they seem to have a good understanding.

Is it because of the 'friend' relationship between the two?

When the players have a very good relationship in private and like to stick together in training, there will definitely be some tacit understanding.

Wise nodded, "I often see them training together, and every detachment is always together. ”

"That's it, let the two of them play together next time." Zhang Yang agreed.

"But in any case, it's acceptable to be able to get out of the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and finish ahead of schedule, right? It's worth celebrating! Wise stretched out his arms toward Zhang Yang.

The two laughed and embraced.

————

Wise was right.

This game against Roma was too thrilling, Millvolvo was suppressed by Roma throughout the game, and was led by Roma for more than half time, and the team almost reached the point of losing.

However, in the end, Millwall drew 1-1 away at Roma and Roma were unable to score in the final period.

The process was thrilling, and the results were acceptable.

The home team Roma are a little unacceptable, they hope to beat Millwall at home to make the group situation better, they have done a lot of preparation, the past round of the league has not been too concerned, and the Roma fans have also made efforts to create a 'horror away' for the opponent.

The result?

1-1, the two teams ended in a draw.

After the game, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti could only say bitterly, "Now we are on the edge of hell and we can't take a step back, so the team will be fully prepared for the last two games and we must try to win them all." ”

The Roman form was already quite dangerous.

At the same time as Roma at home to Millwall, Valencia and Shakhtar Donetsk also played each other, and the final result was 2-2, and Shakhtar Donetsk finally got their first points.

This is good news for Roma, because Valencia is equivalent to losing two points, but the situation is still very unfavorable for Rome, currently in Group D, Millwall has three wins and one draw in four games, ranking first in ten points, Valencia has two wins and one draw in four games, ranking second with seven points, Roma has only four points, ranking third, and finally Shakhtar Donetsk, considering the win-loss relationship between Roma and Millwall, Millwall has locked the qualifying place in advance, so will it be 100% energy to deal with the remaining two games, It becomes something that is hard to say.

It has a direct relationship with Roma and Millwall has another game against Valencia.

Roma and Valencia are three points apart.

Roma also need to play against Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia, and Shakhtar Donetsk, and it will be easy to win, and if they can beat Valencia, they will still have a chance.

Valencia needs to play against Millwall and Roma, and if Millwall 'releases', Valencia will still be able to hold the same points as Roma even if they lose to Roma.

Of course, the competition between the two, the most important thing is that Rome can beat Valencia away, as long as it can beat Valencia, the initiative is in the hands of Rome, and the worst is only the same points as Valencia, the same win-loss relationship, and then compare the goal difference, Rome has no disadvantage.

None of this has anything to do with Millwall.

Millwall qualified early after four rounds and became the first team to be confirmed among the 32 teams in the Champions League.

Zhang Yang's mood is a little relaxed.

Before the start of the season, most people were not optimistic about Millwall's European journey, and history has proven that the small ball will occasionally perform well in one season, and it will be difficult to continue into the next season, let alone play in the Champions League, and it will be difficult to achieve anything.

Millwall had a similar experience.

In the 2003-2004 season, Millwall finished runners-up in the FA Cup to qualify for the UEFA Cup, only to be eliminated in two legs of qualifying and not even in the main round.

There is a big gap between the FA Cup runners-up and the Premier League titles, but Millwall is in the Champions League, facing European giants, and in addition, the flamboyance of coaching Millwall is also inexperienced, lacks prestige, he is too young to have almost everything to be a successful manager.

Millwall's Champions League journey has been widely questioned, with too many question marks hanging over Zhang Yang's head.

The result?

Zhang Yang led the team to play four rounds in the group stage, and locked the qualifying place in advance!

Millwall almost aggressively left Valencia and Roma in the same group helpless, and many began to consider a possibility: "Will Millwall also be a serious contender for the Champions League?" ”

They need to find answers.

However, at the post-match press conference, many European media were a little disappointed, and when faced with whether Millwall would compete for the Champions League, Zhang Yang said "sincerely afraid", "Champion? No, that's too far away to imagine! ”

'We qualified two rounds early and we did a good job, which was unexpected for me and for the whole team, but we can only say that we were lucky, the opponents didn't know about us, they made all kinds of mistakes, we took our chances and won a few games.

"This game with Roma made the whole team realize that it is not easy to play in the Champions League, this is a very meaningful game, let us know how difficult it is to play in the Champions League, and it has taught the club an important lesson, which will help us in the future games, I can also imagine that Rome is so difficult to play, what about Milan? Spain also has Real Madrid and Barcelona, Germany also has Bayern Munich, even Manchester United and Chelsea in the same league have a lot of European experience than us, and it is difficult for us to go one step further......

Zhang Yang finally talked about the 'goal', "Now we have started to think about the draw for the top 16. I hope the team can meet easy opponents in the round of 16 and that will take us a little further......"
