In the Carabao Cup games between Tottenham Hotspur and Millwall, Jamie Vardy started and played the whole game, scoring a goal in the game and playing well at other times, creating a threat to the opposition throughout the game.

By the time of the second half, Tottenham Hotspur had begun to take care of Jamie Vardy, which was enough to prove that Vardy's performance had won the approval of the opposing defenders.

However, on media level, Vardy's performance was overlooked.

Although some reporters noticed Vardy during the game, and were a little surprised that this little-known youngster was able to play well against Tottenham Hotspur, but more importantly, Millwall was eliminated in the Carabao Cup, and a young 18-year-old striker substitute was nothing to show a little.

Many media criticized Millwall for 'not taking the cup game seriously', and the British Football Newspaper pointed out that "Millwall only sent a substitute line-up, and obviously will not be an opponent for Tottenham Hotspur." They almost automatically gave up the League Cup, which is disrespectful to the event! ”

'There are some teams who will opt for the Carabao Cup but that certainly doesn't include Millwall. The League Cup is also an important way to compete for a place in Europe, and it would be unreasonable to give it up so drastically. ”

Football Newspaper just has to look at the report.

The English Football Newspaper didn't really think about Millwall, they used a completely sarcastic tone, because anyone can think of the reason why Millwall abandoned the Carabao Cup: the lack of depth on the bench made it difficult for Millwall to maintain a multi-front battle, otherwise the league results would be affected, and the big game against Manchester United would certainly not put much effort into the Carabao Cup.

This is also what the 'opposition' media do not want to see.

The 'opposition' media don't want to see Millwall doing well, especially as they are aggressively trying to get league results.

Millwall's results are very good, but their expectation is that as the league progresses, Millwall's results will decline, and Millwall's initiative to give up the League Cup is exactly what they don't want to see, which means that Millwall is focused on the league.

So some media sarcastically said, "There is no point in Millwall's new preparation for the league, they can't continue to maintain good results, and when the season is over, they will find that they have a season and nothing in the end!" ”

When Zhang Yang saw the media reports, he just pouted and smiled.

Nothing?

These 'opposition' media are already worried, right? Otherwise, in the normal judgment, Millwall, as a promoted horse, can be relegated is the biggest gain, the so-called 'nothing' is equivalent to admitting that Millwall has no pressure to be relegated and is eligible to compete for the Premier League rankings.

The media probably didn't pay attention to the change of thinking revealed in the report, and it was actually a matter of course, the league has passed twelve rounds, and after a few more games, it is almost a third, and now Millwall is still ranked second in the league, nine of which have been won, and the other three have also been drawn, a total of thirty points, if in the past this kind of result is enough to reach the top of the table, but this season Chelsea is too strong, Chelsea has only drawn one of the twelve games, and all the other competitions have been won, Millwall can only finish second in the league.

Thirty points is a lot.

The Premier League ranking is calculated according to the points, according to the situation in the past few seasons, forty points can almost complete the relegation, and Millwall has got three-quarters of the 'relegation points', the league still has most of the remaining situation, there is no point in talking about relegation, anyone can conclude that Millwall will be able to relegation, so the media rhetoric no longer talks about relegation, but talks about Millwall's possible results.

Zhang Yang is still satisfied with Vardy's performance.

Jamie Vardy's performances haven't been as good as Darren Bent and Braniff, but he's definitely a qualified substitute, and he's still improving, and at this rate, his future is already promising.

Zhang Yang is looking forward to Vardy's future and has decided to bring him with him in the game against Manchester United, and if he has the opportunity, he will also get a taste of what it is like to play against a top team.

As time passed, the atmosphere of the great war was already very strong.

Two days before the start of the 13th round, various media outlets began to analyze Millwall's home game against Manchester United.

The news of the two teams also kept breaking out.

There have been no changes to Millwall FC, the biggest news comes from player Jody Morris, Morris has been training normally, and a reporter has captured Morris walking out of the club laughing with his teammates.

"Jody Morris is likely to play against Manchester United!" This is a highlight news that means Millwall could do better.

There is more news about Manchester United.

Perhaps it is also because Manchester United is a big club, and every player in it can be called a star, and the news of some famous stars can easily attract a lot of attention.

United's biggest change came from former captain Roy Keane.

Two days before the thirteenth round, Manchester United and Roy Keane reached an agreement to terminate their work contract, and the agreement took effect immediately, and a spokesman for Manchester United announced the news, "Manchester United Club has reached an agreement with Roy Keane today, Keane will leave Manchester United. Under the deal, Keane will be able to sign with other clubs. ”

Manchester United posted a statement on their official website in which they thanked Keane for all he has done for the Reds over the past 12 years.

Head coach Alex Ferguson said in an interview: "Keane has always been excellent at Manchester United, he is the best midfielder of his time and has become an important figure in the club's history. Keane has been an integral part of United's success over the past twelve and a half years, and everyone at Manchester United wishes him the best of luck in his future career. ”

Gil, the club's chief executive, said: "Keane has been an iconic figure for the club over the past 10 years, and his talent, leadership and dedication have made him one of the legends in the club's history. ”

Keane himself said it would be a sad day for him to leave United, but he believed it was time to leave, so he made the choice.

For Manchester United club's statement, the media reporters only listened to it, and reported it according to the original words, but even the lowest fans know that the direct reason for Keane to leave Manchester United is the conflict with the head coach Ferguson, some time ago, Keane's public criticism of the players in the team is a well-known thing, Ferguson is also very dissatisfied with Keane, in addition, Keane was sent off when he helped Manchester United, and was fined 5,000 pounds by the club, for which Keane appealed dissatisfied.

"This may be the direct reason why Keane chose to leave." Some media analyzed it in a timely manner.

When the news of Keane's departure broke, all eyes were on European football, Keane was so important to Manchester United that he was an influential player in his own right, and was considered the most successful Irish player in the last decade.

Zhang Yang is also paying attention.

Zhang Yang not only paid attention, but also asked the club to contact Keane's agent to see if Keane might choose to sign Millwall, with such an experienced and strong midfielder joining, Millwall's strength will definitely improve.

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

'Keane won't stay in the Premier League, he doesn't want to be against Manchester United!' Keane's agent's words made Zhang Yang suddenly die, but in fact, he just wanted to try, it doesn't matter if Keane can come or not, because Keane's arrival also has a lot of disadvantages, his reputation is too high, and his temper is also very short-tempered, such a player is not easy to manage, and may bring a lot of trouble to the locker room.

Also, Keane is getting old.

It's hard to say how much an aging Keane can perform, and the club has to pay an unbearably high salary.

These are all disadvantages.

When the media focused on the news of Keane's departure, public opinion was not very good for Manchester United, and Manchester United soon released an exciting news that they had signed a two-year contract extension with Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo, a new contract that would see him at Old Trafford until 2010, which had already been agreed in the summer, but some details were not finalised until recently, making the 20-year-old Portuguese feel comfortable handing over his future to the Red Devils.

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract extension is a breath of relief for Alex Ferguson, who has been committed to bringing United back to the top, and the Portuguese has been an absolute mainstay for the Reds for two seasons, with performances that have almost forgotten his predecessor David Beckham.

"His contract extension represents the future of the club, Cristiano Ronaldo will grow into an outstanding player here, we have done a lot of work in the last six months for his contract extension, everything is fine except for his agent, his renewal is good news for the club and the fans."

Cristiano Ronaldo himself said: "I'm very happy and proud to finally sign a contract, it's important for my career, I want to be part of the team and we win the title together." ”

Manchester United regrouped to compete for the league title, the first ushered in is the play with Millwall, the game is not only important to Millwall, but also important to Manchester United, the current points of the two sides are equal, Millwall with a goal difference advantage at the top, Manchester United is not willing to be a promoted Mara behind, they want to take advantage of the opportunity to play directly, beat Millwall to officially enter the second place in the league.

The Great War is approaching.

In an interview with media reporters, Ferguson spoke about Millwall, praising Zhang Yang for becoming a Premier League manager at such an age, "It's a little unimaginable, but if you look at Millwall's results, you know he's done a good job. The Premier League is a big stage and not every coach can succeed here, but he did it at such a young age. ”

'A lot of people have been talking about them for a while, talking about Millwall, talking about their young manager. Manchester United have to face this opponent as well and I will keep an eye on them in the game. ”

'But the most notable thing in Millwall is their manager, and I think in the coming decades, maybe the world football will always talk about his name, he's so young and even if he has some problems in the middle, he has enough time to fix them and use the time to pay for them.

Ferguson praised the flamboyance and concluded by saying, "If one day he leaves Millwall, I welcome him to come to Manchester United, he will be my deputy, the most important assistant manager." ”
