Zhang Yang rarely talks about Champions League goals in front of the media.

This is the first time that he has talked about the Champions League in front of so many media...... Well, many British journalists who know Zhang Yang don't think they can use 'calm' to describe Zhang Yang's words at all, but other national media don't know it! They felt that Zhang Yang was very sincere, and what he said was very convincing.

That's not it!

Millwall can qualify for the group ahead of schedule, the accident component is very large, if it is not for the final time to tie Roma, they can not qualify one round in advance, Group D has no real giants, in the whole European football, Valencia is just a 'pseudo-giant', Rome's historical results, it is even more impossible to touch the side of the giants, defeating these two teams in a row, does not mean how terrible Millwall's strength is, many teams can also do it.

If you want to compete for the Champions League, you have to face real giants.

AC Milan, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, etc., these are all possible opponents for Millwall, and it will be very difficult for them to take a step forward.

The next day, many European media reported that Millwall had qualified ahead of schedule, and also reported on what Zhang Yang said in the face of the 'championship problem', and most of the media praised it.

"Many young people will become a little arrogant after achieving a certain number of honors, but this young Chinese is still very sensible, he sees what the future will encounter, anticipates difficulties in advance, and low-key said that it is difficult for Millwall to take a step forward......"

'Millwall deserves credit for qualifying two rounds early, but there's no denying that they're still a small club, and that's not about history, it's about squad quality. Compared to other top European teams, Millwall's squad is too poor! ”

"Keep going! Zhang Yang gave everyone the answer, Millwall has no definite goal, they can lock in the group qualification place in advance, and they are still very rational to face the future! ”

"In terms of the strength of Millwall's squad, the goal of 'moving forward' is realistic, it is very difficult for them to compete with the giants, we wish Millwall can draw a good signing!"

“……”

While the European media's praise of Zhang Yang is somewhat unusual, the British media's analysis is a different view entirely.

The British press has long had experience!

In the Premier League, Zhang Yang never talked about any championships, he set his goals very low, last season said that Millwall would be relegated, and at the end of the season, it was obviously in the form of running for the championship, he only said in a low-key way that he wanted to win the top four.

And finally?

Millwall won the title early!

It's the same this season, when asked about winning the championship, Zhang Yang said very low-key that the team has set the goal of the top six, and of course the top four is better, mainly to participate in European competitions.

The result?

Millwall is still top of the league!

In the summer, Chelsea spent more than 100 million euros in transfer fees, Manchester United also added Carrick, coach Alex Ferguson said that 'C-Ronaldo, Rooney and other stars have matured, the new season will be a different season', other teams are also preparing for the battle, it seems that they want to do a big job, the media also predicts that the new season will be very lively, there are big Chelsea, there is Manchester United through the transition period, as well as Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton, Newcastle United, West Ham United and a series of strong teams, As a result, the league is still the top of the league, they have only drawn two games, and the league is unbeaten while firmly occupying the top of the league table.

This is the so-called 'fight for the top six' in Zhang Yang's mouth!

Champions League goals?

If Zhang Yang talked about entering the top four, top eight and the like, the British media didn't feel anything, he just said in a low-key way that the team needs to absorb experience and hope to draw a good draw, which is really chilling.

Some British media are thinking, "Millwall aren't really going to fight for the Champions League, are they?" ”

It's horrible!

————

Millwall's participation in the Champions League does not seem to have anything to do with other league rivals, but in fact, Chelsea, Manchester United and other teams are very concerned about Millwall's Champions League situation.

This is important.

Any team must strive for the Champions League, not only for the Champions League title, but also for teams that have no hope of winning the championship, but also want to fight hard for each round, because the distribution of Champions League bonuses is directly related to the number of games, wins and losses, and rankings.

Playing in the Champions League will definitely affect the league, and if Millwall's Champions League group prospects are not good, it will definitely distract them, and they may not be able to play well in the league.

Manchester United is very concerned about Millwall's Champions League, and noting that Millwall qualified early in the fourth round, manager Alex Ferguson was in a bad mood, because that means that Millwall does not need to be distracted by the Champions League until February, and they can devote themselves to the league.

Millwall are top of the league and Manchester United are only second in the league.

This is unacceptable to Ferguson.

United have been silent for too long.

The 2003-2004 season was a season for Arsenal, with Arsene Wenger's Arsenal unbeaten Manchester United to win the league title.

The 2004-2005 season was a season for Chelsea, led by Jose Mourinho, who played surprisingly well to beat Manchester United to win the league title.

2005-2006 was a season for Millwall, as a promoted team, Zhang Yang led Millwall to a miraculous title, and this season, Manchester United can only finish third in the league.

Manchester United are the hegemons of the Premier League!

As the dominant team in England, it has not won the championship for three consecutive seasons, it has been too long and too long, and a lot of things have happened to Manchester United in the middle, such as the entry of the Glazer family, the change of the club's top management is a big problem, and Manchester United's funds have also been affected, but Manchester United's strength has not changed, but it has been strengthened, and the young players have grown up, Ferguson believes that it is time to rise again and let the world witness the arrival of Manchester United's glory.

Speaking to the media before the season, Ferguson said: "We are a new Manchester United compared to three years ago. We've been reinvented, and it's not easy because we've had so many accolades in the past, and that's affected us deeply. During my time in charge, there were five changes to the squad, which has never been done before in the Premier League. ”

When Ferguson speaks of the 'new Manchester United', he is showing off his 20 years in charge of Manchester United.

Of course, that's an undeniable achievement, there is no manager in history, who has coached a team longer than Alex Ferguson, according to normal logic, now that the 'fifth reinvention' is over, Manchester United is about to usher in a new glory, not to mention the Champions League, the league title should always be won, right?

The result?

Manchester United are still second in the league.

The only good news is that United have kept Chelsea down, and Ferguson would have been a little happy if it had been last season, but he has now discovered that Jose Mourinho is not his main rival.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the old jazz still knew that Manchester United's direct rival was Millwall, and his opponent was the twenty-three-year-old young Chinese!

The situation is a bit against Manchester United right now.

In the Champions League group stage, Manchester United also have a good record, with three wins and one defeat in four games, but Celtic in the same group have six points, Benfica also have six points, and with two games remaining, Manchester United cannot safely qualify, and they must continue to work hard.

Millwall don't have to think about the Champions League anymore and can focus on the league.

This is the negative aspect for Manchester United.

When the fourth round of the Champions League group stage is coming to an end, Manchester United will also officially play Millwall.

Manchester United is looking forward to the game, the media supporting Manchester United are also looking forward to the game, and Manchester United fans are also looking forward to the game, just because the two teams met last season, and Manchester United were at a disadvantage with one defeat and one draw.

This game is also very important and related to the race for the top spot in the league.

Ten rounds into the Premier League, Manchester United have eight wins, one draw and one defeat, one point less than Millwall, second in the league, and as long as they can beat Millwall, they can rise to the top of the league.

Many Manchester United supporters have been waiting for it for a long time!

Looking back at the past few years of the Premier League, from August 2003 to now, for more than three years, Manchester United has never experienced the feeling of being the first in the league.

How sad!

The feeling of being at the top of the league is about to be forgotten by Manchester United fans.

Now it's finally a chance!

"As long as we can get back to the top of the league, Manchester United will be able to hold on until the end of the season and win the league title!" Many fans believe that Manchester United can do it.

Many British media outlets have also cheered Manchester United --

"This season is an explosive period for Manchester United, with the growth of Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, and the replacement of the old and new squads, they deserve to play well!"

"Millwall's results were better at the start of the season, but they couldn't overshadow Manchester United's excellence, and this Old Trafford game would be the beginning of Manchester United's renewed glory!"

"Manchester United are united and looking forward to the clash with Millwall!"

"'There's no reason why we can't win', Rooney showed full confidence in the interview, he believes that Manchester United will definitely win against Millwall, and Manchester United will lay the foundation for winning the title!"

“……”

While United are united in their claim to beat Millwall, Millwall are also preparing for the Old Trafford game.

This one is very crucial.

Zhang Yang is well aware of the league situation, and Chelsea are no longer direct opponents of the title.

Chelsea's internal contradictions are fierce, a Shepchenko is enough for Mourinho's headache, he did not win the championship last season, and only won one league title in two seasons in charge, which will certainly not satisfy Abramovich, and it is known from the Mossad prince that Abramovich is extremely dissatisfied with Mourinho, and the Portuguese's position has become a problem.

So it's hard for Chelsea to do too well, with Millwall in contention for the league title and Manchester United as their main opponents.

Manchester United must not be underestimated.

Although Manchester United has not won the championship for three consecutive seasons and only ranked third in the league last season, there is actually a reason, mainly in the past three years, Manchester United is in a transition period of transformation, one by one old players have been eliminated, and new players have not fully adapted.

Manchester United have recovered this season with a solid squad and better stars.

Wayne Rooney grew up.

Cristiano Ronaldo has become extremely scary, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one star in the Premier League.

Midfielder Michael Carrick is a hefty player and is seen as a replacement for Roy Keane.

With the addition of veterans such as Ryan Giggs and Scholes, Manchester United's squad strength is already quite terrifying. Millwall will have to be the most cautious if they are to be able to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

————

Due to the criticality of the game, Zhang Yang was relatively low-key before the game, and did not talk about anything about the game, but let the team prepare wholeheartedly, the victory or defeat is related to the battle for the top spot, and also related to the mentality of Millwall players, if they can remain unbeaten against Manchester United, the whole team must have a very good mentality, otherwise the next time they meet Manchester United, the mentality will be affected, and the game will become more difficult to play.

Manchester United don't want to keep a low profile.

The main reason is that Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson does not want to keep a low profile, he hopes to use the war of words he is good at to affect Millwall's state, and it would be better if it could affect Millwall's internal harmony.

Two days before the game, Ferguson spoke, "I noticed the battle between Millwall and Roma, it was a very tight game, and in the end the best of the game went to Totti, but if I had to choose, I would definitely vote for Branifer, he only played 45 minutes, but he played much better than Totti. He is the key figure in determining the outcome. ”

'He's a genius, he's a midfield guru and if Braniff comes to Manchester United, he'll be Carrick's best partner, he'll be the future of Manchester United, he's the midfield force for the next five years!'
