After Millwall's win at Manchester United, there was a lot of media talk about the game.

In the game, both teams showed something, Millwall showed a strong performance, whether it was the 'double core' attack in the first half, or the defensive counterattack in the second half, they were quite sharp, but the biggest topic was not Millwall, but Manchester United's exposed forward problems.

Throughout the game, Manchester United was not at a disadvantage, especially in the second half, Manchester United suppressed Millwall with attack, forcing Zhang Yang to make substitutions to strengthen the defense.

This led to what was considered a textbook substitution strategy: Braniff and Simpson were substituted and Morris and Vardy came on in quick succession.

After the game, the media commented on the flamboyant substitutions, which "directly turned the game around" and "changed Millwall from passive to active", and "Manchester Sport" specifically analyzed, "Before the substitutions, Manchester United had a very big advantage, and they had enough possession and offensive initiative." However, the situation turned around after the substitutions were made, and United had to pay more attention to their defence, and they were still a goal behind. ”

Zhang Yang was also praised by the media for 'having excellent game insight'.

This comment was scoffed at by the 'Zhang Yang Fan Group'.

In the understanding of the 'Zhang Yang Fan Group', Zhang Yang must have very good insight, otherwise he would not have analyzed the game so thoroughly every time he served as a commentator, and most of the time he said it very correctly.

A fan left a message on the Internet, saying, "The media is aware of it, and now I know Zhang Yang's insight into the game." ”

"The news of the media is that it is lagging behind!"

"Zhang Yang relied on his excellent ability to read the game to lead Millwall to win so many games."

“……”

Of course, the focus of the media coverage is still Manchester United's forward problem, looking at the whole game, it is easy to see that Manchester United's forward ability is insufficient, Rooney is very tightly defended and does not play a little role, Saha's performance is very weak, he does not need to deal with how difficult the defense is, and he is like a transparent person, there is not much presence at all.

"Manchester United have to improve their attacking line!"

"After Ruud van Nistelrooy left, Manchester United's attacking ability became a big problem, even if the midfield advantage is strong, without a strong striker, opportunities will be lost......

There are also media who have 'advised' Ferguson, believing that Millwall is a target to be poached, "Darren Bent, Vardy!" Millwall have the league's first and second goalscorers, one of them goes to Manchester United and everything is solved. ”

Next, the media focused on Vardy.

Darren Bent has nothing to analyze, last season's league silver boot, this season with an extremely good performance, solid top scorer position, was also called up to the England national team, and his value has doubled.

The new issue of "French football" has assessed the value of Darren Bent at more than 19 million euros, considering that the evaluation of "French football" has no commercial interests, and considering that Darren Bent is an English player, if you want to buy Daren Bent, any club must prepare 30 million euros of transfer funds.

Darren Bent is famous enough that there is no need to analyze it more.

Vardy is still a newcomer.

Jamie Vardy was also a good performer last season, the youngest of Millwall's first-team squad, and for a while he was the darling of the media, but the gap with Darren Bent was too great.

Now the media regards Vardy as a real genius, and compares him with Rooney a few years ago, Vardy won easily in performance, and many media suggested that Manchester United should consider taking Vardy, "Manchester United with Vardy, don't have to worry about the forward line in the next ten years." ”

Ferguson could only smile wryly as he looked at the report.

The more the media hype, the more difficult it is for Vardy to win, even if Millwall is willing to sell Vardy, his value will be quite high, just think about Rooney a few years ago, just emerged at Everton, the transfer fee is as high as 40 million euros, Vardy is better than Rooney, the age is about the same as Rooney, many clubs will see his potential, and there will be many clubs to compete.

With United's current financial situation, it would be very difficult for Millwall to buy Vardy if they agreed to sell.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang also saw these reports, and in his opinion, the media is paranoid, seeking to buy Vardy? As long as he was at Millwall for one day, he would not have agreed to sell Vardy, let alone sell to Manchester United.

Vardy is the focus of training, his growth has just begun, and it feels like a loss to sell it at a high price.

In addition, selling players is a matter for the club, the income is also for the club, he is just a manager, no matter how high Vardy's value is, no matter how much transfer fee he brings, it has nothing to do with him, and his team will lose a talent.

This amounts to a direct loss.

Therefore, Zhang Yang will never agree to sell Vardy, and no matter how much the media hypes it, there is no point.

However, Jamie Vardy's performance is not bad, he seems to be unaffected by the outside hype, he still comes to train early every day, and he is also one of the hardest working players in the team.

Zhang Yang felt that it was time for the club to consider renewing Vardy's contract.

In the summer, Vardy was offered a new contract, but his salary was still at the bottom level, and the original definition of Vardy was just a substitute striker, and he did not expect such a good performance.

If you want to keep the hearts of the players, the salary contract is very important.

Zhang Yang approached Wilkinson to talk about it.

Wilkinson also noticed the hype and immediately decided to keep Vardy on a high-salary contract, and approached Vardy's temporary agent, his father, Philippe Vardy.

The two sides reached an agreement after a morning of talks.

The club decided to give Vardy a new contract of 40,000 pounds a week, with a 20% increase per year, and the contract will officially start in May next year, and this season Vardy can enjoy a salary of 30,000 pounds a week in advance, which will be paid in the form of bonuses, and Vardy's agent, his father Philippe, also received a signing fee of 200,000 pounds.

While Vardy's contract was settled, Millwall played a League Cup, the fourth round of the English League Cup, which is a match of 16 to 8.

Millwall's opponents are Chesterfield United.

Chesterfield United are a League One side and it will not be easy for them to reach the last 16 of the League Cup in the third tier, but their good fortune ends here, and when they meet Millwall, Chesterfield United know their cup campaign is over.

Facing a League One side, Millwall comfortably won the opponent with three goals away from the bench and advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

Returning to the league, Millwall have two home games in a row, one against nearby Fulham and one against promoted Watford.

Millwall continued their strong run with two big wins in a row.

In the match with Fulham, the starting striker was Darren Bent, Smitchell and Simpson partnered with the 'double core', and the overall performance was quite strong, Millwall played the advantage of the middle, Smitchell and Simpson scored two goals, plus a goal from Darren Bent, and finally Millwall beat Fulham by three goals.

When it came to the game against Watford, Zhang Yang made a rotation with a wave of his hand.

The starting striker became Vardy, and the midfield duo also became Braniff and Jody Morris, the game proved that Vardy and Braniff did have a tacit understanding, the two worked together to help the team score three goals, and the wide players Quaresma and Konchesky also scored one each, and the final score was 5-0, Watford was suppressed and couldn't find his form at all, and the game almost surrendered at the end.

Millwall's clean win of two games also showed the strength of Millwall to various teams in the Premier League, and the Times specifically mentioned, "Looking at the past leagues, Millwall seems to be particularly good at playing against weak teams." ”

This view was unanimously endorsed.

The league has only played thirteen rounds, and Millwall's thirteen league games have created seven big scores, namely against Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Tottenham, West Ham United, Watford, Reading and Fulham, and the worst game has also scored three goals, and the highest score is three games 5-0.

Why is this so?

Is Millwall's offensive ability so strong?

Wrong!

After the thirteenth round of the league, the British media conducted various analyses and believed that Millwall's strong frontcourt was only one of the reasons for the big victory.

And, most importantly, Millwall's 'twin-core' tactics brought about the oppressive nature.

Last season, Millwall's forward line was also good, but most of the games were normal, and did not win a few goals, this season, Millwall used the 'double core' style of play, repeatedly suppressed the opponent, so that the opponent was simply out of breath, Millwall grasped the absolute initiative, coupled with the high efficiency of the front, it will lead to regular big score wins.

Many people have experienced the horror of Millwall.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and other teams are definitely top-notch, but when they play the league, they will not form an absolute suppression of weak opponents, nor will they easily break through the opponent's goal, so several teams are often defeated by small ball clubs.

Millwall is different.

So far this season, Millwall have only drawn with Chelsea and Charlton Athletic, won all other games, and played against weak teams, and there was basically no suspense from the start.

It also chills the media.

Millwall seem to have the dominance of Barcelona in La Liga in the Premier League, and they often win by big scores when they encounter small balls, which means that opponents in the same league can create some pressure.

If Millwall can continue to perform like this, even if they lose to Manchester United, Chelsea and other opponents, they will be able to successfully defend the league title with their 'no mistakes against small clubs'.

So what hope is there for other teams?

This is definitely not going to work!

The British media didn't want to see Millwall's easy league victory, so they spontaneously discussed the topic of 'how to beat Millwall', and soon this topic became a hot topic in Britain and even radiated to Europe, which also made many people have a feeling-

Millwall seem to have become public enemies of the Premier League!?
