Chapter 545: The Last Opponent

After the game, Millwall and SZ exchanged jerseys with each other, and Zhang Yang also had a polite handshake with the opposing coach Wang Hongshan.

This time, Wang Hongshan stopped provoking.

Before Wang Hongshan believed that Millwall won the Champions League, but the strength was only in the middle of the Premier League, and did not really enter the top ranks, it was a matter of play to win the championship, and there was also a lot of luck, mainly because Millwall's fame was too small, if it wasn't for Zhang Yang being too famous in China, few people would know Millwall.

Now it's different.

No matter what strength Millwall is, anyway, the SZ team is not an opponent at all, even if Wang Hongshan thinks that the SZ team performed well throughout the game, but the gap with Millwall is very obvious, the two sides are not at the same level at all, it is easy to see in the game, Millwall is a little serious, or as long as the performance is better, he can complete the goal.

Millwall also stayed.

Anyone can see it.

The fans in the audience may consider Millwall's 'poor performance' in the second half, but in fact, Wang Hongshan knows that Millwall is just 'not playing well', which is to save face for the SZ team, otherwise it is possible to score ten goals.

In the second half, Millwall 'didn't play well', and the difference in strength between the two sides became more obvious, because the overall cooperation played less, the individual players played more, and the direct confrontation between the players on both sides became more, Millwall no matter what position, and the SZ team players are in an absolute upper hand, especially the opponent's midfielder, Braniff, is definitely the world's top level, and it is not at all that the SZ team can defend.

Millwall can beat the SZ team with just one Braniff.

Such a team is truly the best in the world.

Wang Hongshan knows in his heart that a large part of Millwall's treble last season relied on strength, and luck was only a small part.

Such a team deserves respect.

As the head coach of Millwall, Zhang Yang is also very respectable, China has a tradition of 'seniority', Wang Hongshan began to want to take 'big', feeling that his qualifications are higher, Zhang Yang is just a young man who has just emerged, but this 'little young' has become world-famous, and he is only a first-line coach in China, and it is very difficult to even gain a foothold in the world, and the gap between the two sides is too big.

Wang Hongshan could only admit with a wry smile, "We are not opponents at all!" ”

"You're doing well, too." Zhang Yang said, "This is not a polite remark, it is a real feeling, compared to other domestic teams, you have played well." ”

This is also Zhang Yang's heart.

He also has a certain understanding of what level of domestic football is, and he knows what level Millwall has.

The gap is too big.

The current Millwall, even if it is played at will, is already the top in the world, the SZ team's big loss is expected, the second half of the SZ team performed well, especially the goal, Millwall's back line is not the main force, there are also Arbeloa, Barragan and other players, and there is also a Zambrotta on the field, SZ team can find a chance to break the goal, it is quite remarkable.

This business friendly is over.

After the game, Zhang Yang praised the fighting spirit of the SZ team, and also sighed at the enthusiasm of the SZ fans, said some official polite words, and was ready to lead the team to the next destination.

————

SH City.

Zhang Yang is very familiar with SH City, because his hometown is relatively close to SH, and he also has a sense of intimacy when he comes to SH.

Millwall had a night's rest at SH, trained normally the next morning, and played a friendly against SH in the afternoon.

This game is a little different.

Because the game was just played the day before, the players who played the whole game were rested, and the starting lineup still came off the bench more.

Millwall's performance was average, scoring a goal in the first half, but the SH team also scored a goal, which made the SH fans very excited for a while.

In the second half, Zhang Yang sent Braniff, Morris and other main forces.

Suddenly the situation was completely different.

In the absence of a stable core main force, let other players play 451 double core tactics, midfield double forward, Sneijder is not familiar with tactics, and there is no tacit cooperation with other players, Simpson is a little worse in the overall situation, can not pick up the core of the beam alone, the team's overall performance has been greatly affected.

When Morris and Braniff came on the field, Millwall suddenly seemed to change teams, becoming more skillful in coordination, attacking much more fluently, and the number of threatening passes increased significantly, and the threat to the SH team naturally increased.

In the 63rd minute, Braniff shook off the opposition midfielder and crossed diagonally to the left side of the penalty area to create a chance for the new team Maxi Rodriguez.

Seeing this goal, Zhang Yang knew that it was basically stable.

Millwall's 'China tour' has to play three friendly matches, the first two are against domestic teams, and they must not lose, a draw is a bit embarrassing, and the game against Barcelona has nothing to do with it.

Now the game is basically fine, and Zhang Yang doesn't care too much.

Zhang Yang began to observe the SH team players.

The SH team played better than the SZ team, mainly because the defense was solid, the coordination was more fluid, and the players still had a certain strength.

Zhang Yang used 'potential identification' to look at them one by one, and it's a pity that the SH team doesn't have any special players, and those who can detect potential are all very general potentials, with a maximum evaluation of six stars, indicating that they are unlikely to become top players.

When Zhang Yang was a little disappointed, he suddenly noticed that there was a young player warming up on the SH team bench, so he took a look at it, and then opened his mouth wide in surprise-

Ho Wing-wah: It has the speed potential of football.

Rating: Seven stars.

Possess the long-range fixed-point passing potential of football.

Rating: Eight stars.

Possess the shooting potential of the sport of football.

Rating: Seven stars.

He Ronghua?

Three potentials?

Zhang Yang is the first time to see a player with three potentials, of course, in fact, it is nothing, it only shows that this player is making rapid progress, the two potentials before and after, in fact, there is still something, the speed and shooting of the 'Seven Stars' evaluation, even if the potential is all tapped, it can only be regarded as barely reaching the Premier League level, and it depends on luck to serve as the main force in the small ball club, and the better ball club can only play as a substitute.

The 'long-range fixed-point passing potential' with an eight-star rating in the middle is a fairly rare potential, and the 'long-range fixed-point pass' is almost the same as the 'long-range pass', and in the games of the top clubs, the 'long-range pass' seems to be very common, but in reality, there are very few long-distance accurate passes.

The ultimate in 'long-distance passing' is England star 'heartthrob' David Beckham, whose long-range passing is an opponent's nightmare, a pass directly through the opponent's defence, handing the ball to the feet of his own striker.

David Beckham's long-distance passing ability should have reached the 'nine-star' rating.

Eight stars is no less!

All abilities are eight-star evaluations, and you can definitely become the top star, and a single ability is reached, and other players who are not bad are enough to become famous stars.

Such players are rare.

For example, if there are more than a million footballers registered in England, how many of them can play in the top leagues, and how many will make some of them?

Rarely!

The number of players on the roster in China is scarce, and it is too difficult to produce a player with potential.

Zhang Yang felt that He Ronghua could be cultivated.

If you have the strength to play as a substitute at Millwall, you may really be able to become famous after some experience, but you still have to take a closer look, if the ability in other aspects is too poor, it is impossible to adapt to the fierce competition in Europe, and it makes little sense to introduce it.

He Ronghua was about to come off the bench.

After Zhang Yang put his mind down, He Ronghua was replaced, he didn't receive the ball on the field many times, and his performance can only be described as 'steady'.

Zhang Yang was a little disappointed.

He was not disappointed in He Ronghua's performance, but it was too difficult to see something in dozens of minutes of the game.

————

The final match ended 4-1.

Millwall scored three goals comfortably in the second half, leaving SH without any chances at all.

Zhang Yang didn't think about it anymore.

A player who 'maybe' has some talent is not worth doing with all his heart, but when he met with the SH team leader, the other party asked such a question, "Is Millwall interested in working with the SH team?" ”

"For example?" Zhang Yang was a little incomprehensible, "I'm just a coach, if you talk about business issues, you should know our manager or chairman." ”

"It's on the team."

"You say, I'll listen."

"We have all seen the quality of Millwall, the level of quality of your players in any position is quite good, and we hope to bring in one or two players on loan to improve the competitiveness of the SH team in the domestic league."

"On loan?"

Zhang Yang originally wanted to refuse directly, but suddenly thought of He Ronghua, so he didn't refuse directly, but asked, "If it's just a loan, you should go to the club to talk, but I have a proposal, we can exchange players." ”

"Swap players?"

The opposing team leader was stunned.

Every player in Millwall is a heavyweight star, Millwall has also become a strong contender for the Premier League and the Champions League, and one of the top teams in Europe.

Zhang Yang will not let the other party see his thoughts, what is the SH club like, he doesn't know very well, if he wants to buy He Ronghua, the other party suddenly asks for a high price, and the transaction will be directly yellow.

Millwall are unlikely to spend a lot of money on a player who is 'useless for the time being' and 'uncertain about the future'.

It's a trivial thing to make a deal yellow.

For Ho Wing-wah himself, joining Millwall is a huge change in his career, he will have an excellent training environment, he can improve himself in the best arenas, and maybe he can really become a big star in the future.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "There are players in the first team who can be loaned to the SH team, but the club can't just go out on loan, since it's a contract, it's a two-way street, even if the players you provide can't play in the Premier League, there must be a relative exchange!" ”

The other team leader nodded suddenly.

Zhang Yang's rhetoric is a little vague, the content is not so certain, the other team leader thinks that Zhang Yang is taking care of the SH team, Zhang Yang is from SZ after all!

SZ is not far from SH and is also a satellite city of SH.

It's all folks!

The fellow has done well abroad, and there are no useful players in the team, and the loan to the SH team is nothing, but the fellow does this, and he still needs face, and the statement to the club is to exchange players.

What a good excuse!

The opposing team leader completely understood.

————

At the end of the day, Millwall quickly negotiated a deal – Alan Hutton was sent on loan to SH for a year.

What the SH team paid was to pay all the salaries during Hutton's loan period, and He Ronghua, who was born in SH Academy, officially joined Millwall FC as a 'head' to the contract.

Alan Hutton was the exchange player chosen by Zhang Yang.

Millwall will use more of a 352 tactic for the new season, and there is no shortage of defenders, and Alan Hutton has also been unhappy with his salary, he is one of the few players who has not received a salary increase in two years.

It can't be helped.

Alan Hutton has not been a regular player, and his performance last season was also average, with only 16 appearances, including the League Cup and FA Cup, so naturally he could not get a salary increase.

Alan Hutton is still worth developing, he is only twenty-three years old and has not reached the peak of his career.

The club is reluctant to sell Hutton, and is reluctant to raise the salary of an underperforming player, and the SH team is equivalent to finding an idea for the team.

Rent!

Zhang Yang's solution to convince Hutton was simple: a salary increase, and Hutton could get 30 percent more salary during his year with the SH team.

This part of the salary is paid by the club.

Hutton is considering staying at the highly competitive Millwall, where he won't have many appearances, instead going out on loan to adapt to the new environment, becoming an absolute mainstay, and getting a higher salary.

Not bad either.

Anyway, it's only one year, and after a year, there is no place, so it's okay to think about leaving.

Eventually, Hutton agreed.

As for He Ronghua, it's even simpler.

The SH team only informed He Ronghua that he would join Millwall, and He Ronghua was immediately as happy as if he had been hit by the five million jackpot, because he was just an SH academy player, who had just been promoted to the first team and was ready to play for SH in the new season.

It's pie in the sky!

He Ronghua had no reason to refuse at all, he happily agreed, and felt that he was 'willing to go without paying'.

After the deal was negotiated, neither Millwall nor the SH team made it public, because it was during Millwall's 'China trip', there was no need to break the news again.

The two parties will actually sign the contract after the end of the 'China trip'.

After a series of activities in SH, Millwall flew to the capital BJ the next morning to prepare for the last opponent of the 'China Tour'.

Barcelona!
