Chapter 544: Solo Show
Millwall's goal came in the eighth minute when Vardy headed in Pire and the Frenchman went unguarded on the left side of the box.
The SZ team is frustrated by the leaky defense.
Someone should have been on the left side of the box to guard Pire, but Pire found his place comfortably and slotted the ball in.
From the perspective of reporters and fans, the reason for the goal is not that the SZ team is missing, but that Millwall is playing too smoothly. The trio on the right kept passing the ball and easily brought the ball to the vicinity of the penalty area.
Morris fired a high ball and found Vardy just right.
The average striker is about 10 metres from goal and would have a header on goal, but Vardy was so calm and scary that he swung the ball to the left and Pire followed up with the final shot.
Such a smooth cooperation is dazzling to watch, and it also makes fans enjoy watching it.
When Millwall completed the goal, many fans in the audience cheered for the goal, they hoped that the local SZ team could perform well, but also wanted to see a wonderful game, Millwall's performance was undoubtedly world-class, not to mention the SZ team, it was impossible to defend as the top club in Asia.
The GZ TV commentator, who broadcast the game, also said, "Millwall's combination was too fluid, and the right side of the game attracted too much defensive attention. When Morris passed the ball, anyone would have thought Vardy would shoot, but Vardy continued to split the ball and the ball reached Pire's feet. ”
"Last season, Pire was still playing for Arsenal and was a big player at Arsenal, he was a bit older, but after leaving Arsenal, he signed for Millwall and won the treble with the team. He had good luck. The goal just now also shows that Pire's still has a pretty good competitive form. ”
'The angle of the shot from that position was still a bit small, but Jamie Vardy helped to attract attention and the goalkeeper couldn't react immediately.
"That's the gap in ability."
"There's no way to do this kind of ball, Millwall is too fast, and it is impossible for SZ to defend if they want to......"
Millwall had a simple celebration.
Piredu just ran back and clapped his hands with his teammates as if nothing had happened, ready to continue playing.
The game continued.
As Millwall gradually entered the game, the rhythm became faster and faster, and the strength and weakness were also very obvious.
The game is Millwall's rhythm.
The SZ team was a little slow to adapt to the tempo, and they wanted to find their rhythm, but they couldn't help but keep up with the fast pace of Millwall.
This is actually a gap in tactical awareness.
Europe's top clubs will train tactical awareness, to cooperate to control the rhythm, is also a very important part of tactical training, the lower level of the team, there is not a very good way, because the ability of the players can not keep up, talk about the pace of the game, etc., it is meaningless.
When the tempo is on Millwall's side, the SZ team is very uncomfortable, because they can't cope with the fast-paced defense, often just past the defense on the left, the football is fast to the right, their defensive conversion speed can not keep up, can only watch the back line leak again and again.
The SZ team felt completely unable to defend and always seemed to make mistakes no matter how hard they tried.
They also felt the gap between the red fruits.
The SZ players are still very positive, and it is rare to have the experience of playing against the world's top clubs, and every minute becomes an important experience.
The SZ team is limited to the problem of strength, and the play is still quite passive, from the perspective of publicity, the SZ team plays too directly, many passes are straight and straight, often the players have not yet passed, and the Millwall players next to them already know the route of the ball.
In addition, it is a passing problem, and the speed of the foot is too slow.
A lot of passes are stopped first and then passed, rather than passing with one kick, which is easy to be defended in terms of time, and there will be continuous pauses in the overall attack.
There is also a big problem in the passing, that is, 'waiting for the ball', many players are not running the action, but waiting for the ball in place, the position is not good, the position is not very good, the passing route is directly blocked, and it is too difficult to catch the ball.
The average individual skills of the SZ team players are also a little poor, and they also suffer from physical toughness.
Compared to Millwall, the SZ team could hardly find an advantage to speak for.
Millwall's performance is much more gorgeous, offensively, the whole team has long been accustomed to playing sports battles, as long as the football crosses the halfway, it must be running and wearing, every attack is a continuous pass, the process is very smooth, and the opponent's lack of defensive awareness, coupled with not adapting to the fast pace, is obviously a little unable to keep up, Millwall is more serious, you can easily find opportunities.
The gap between the two sides is too great.
As long as people who watch the game carefully, they can notice the gap, and many fans can't help but sigh in their hearts, soon in football games, when one side suppresses the other, they often use 'scoring goals are only a matter of time' to describe it, and now on the field, it is not a 'matter of time', but a serious problem, as if Millwall can send the ball into the goal as long as he is serious.
Really.
The second goal was not long in coming.
In the twenty-first minute of the game, Braniff split the ball in the front of the penalty area, and Livermore followed up with a direct volley.
Boom!
With a bombarded shot, the ball hung directly on the left side of the goal, and the goalkeeper made a save but still couldn't stop the ball.
2 to 0.
This wonderful goal caused the fans in the audience to exclaim.
Many fans who know Millwall know that midfielder Livermore is a long-range player, often shooting from the edge of the box with his feet and being very efficient.
But knowing is knowing, I used to watch the goal was also a video, and there was no shock on the spot, Livermore's position was about twenty-five meters away from the goal, and when he hit the goal directly, many people didn't think they had a chance to score, but when the football really rushed up, they realized that they were wrong.
It's too fast!
Just by looking at the speed of the football, you can see how hard the kick is.
As long as this kind of ball is angled, the chances of scoring are very high.
The GZ TV commentator sighed, "This ball...... No way! ”
"Livermore runs out of the air, when that position is a little far from the goal, the average team tends not to care too much, but Livermore is different, he is a heavy gunner on the periphery, not only in the league, but also in the Champions League last season, and scored several long-range shots!"
"When a team has players like that, it's too hard for the opposition to defend."
"Even if Vermore doesn't shoot, such a player is a deterrent to the opponent, and if we have such a heavy gunner, the scoring ability will definitely be greatly improved......"
Many were equally shocked.
What's the solution to a direct shot from the perimeter? It's not unheard of with a long-range shot, but a long-range goal is often a matter of luck, such as kicking a tricky angle, or the opposing goalkeeper doesn't pay much attention, like Livermore, even if the opposing goalkeeper notices, he can't save at all.
Many fans are starting to take Millwall's squad seriously.
In fact, Millwall's fame is more due to flamboyance than to Millwall itself.
Just like Mourinho led Porto and achieved the great cause of the 'Treble Crown', many people know about Porto, but they still regard them as 'marginal giants', because winning the championship is only that time, it is an accidental phenomenon, they have not risen in strength because of this, and Mourinho has become the world's top coach.
It's the same with Millwall.
Without Zhang Yang, Millwall is still 'unknown' in China, and many fans come to watch the game, more out of support for Zhang Yang, and do not think that Millwall has really become a European giant, or rather, has become a top European team.
Now they themselves are now wrong.
Millwall is indeed the top team, perhaps their fame is not as big as AC Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United and other top giants, but the strength is not bad at all.
The SZ team is only a team in the domestic league, even if it is strong, and the top teams in Europe, the gap is still very obvious, the third line is not comparable at all, and the difference in the strength of the players on both sides is on the bright side.
Defense, defense is not done well.
Attack, and it can't be played at all.
"The championship team is really different!" Many people also sighed.
Millwall continued to put on a flashy display, showing little individual skill but a good overall combination, often sending the ball to key positions with a few passes, and the last shot was made by a player who found an opportunity, and the SZ team's goal was frequently threatened.
In the 38th minute, Braniff found a chance with a diagonal pass to Vardy, who stabbed in and scored again for Millwall.
3 to 0!
Millwall's wonderful cooperation made the fans enjoy watching it, and Zhang Yang felt that the game had reached this level, and it was almost over, and there was no need to continue to suppress it when playing commercial friendly matches with domestic teams.
Zhang Yang began to make substitutions.
First of all, it was Pire who was replaced, and it was Maxi Rodricks who came in for him.
Next up was Morris, and Simpson finally came out.
Then, a minute before the end of the first half, Zhang Yang replaced Jamie Vardy and brought Luka Toney on the field.
————
When the time comes to the second half, it's not a formal game, but a constant individual performance.
Luka Toney and Maxi Rodriguez are both making their first appearances for the team, and although it is only a commercial exhibition game, they still perform very hard, but it is difficult for them to play tacit cooperation with their teammates, and they rely more on their individual ability to impact the SZ team's defense.
The two are still very impactful.
Luca Toney is a direct threat with every touch of the ball as a high school striker, while Maxi Rodriguez is a technical winger who is very fast and more agile with his feet than Pire, and the Argentine players can always come up with fancy football, which also makes Maxi have a lot of supporters on the sidelines.
The other players also had their own performances.
But the most eye-catching focus of the game is undoubtedly midfielder Branifer, time enters the 'free play' stage, Braniff began to show off his skills at his feet, in the game, he was originally a 'God boss, my second' guy, there are opportunities to play, and there are fewer passes to teammates.
In official matches, Braniff didn't dare to do this, the situation is different now, even if he is surrounded by several people, he can dribble freely.
Then Braniff was in the spotlight.
Braniff's footwork is quite good, and his dribbling ability has improved quite quickly under the effect of 'Word Spirit', and Maxi Rodrix doesn't dare to say that he can catch up with Braniff with his feet.
Braniff is not only flexible with his feet, he has also inherited the style of English football - simple and direct, his passes can often be direct and direct, and his foot movements will be fancy.
With such a practical and flashy dribble, the result is that the SZ team's defenders have been devastated again and again.
A wave of attack, Braniff passed two.
The next wave was passed by three.
In the next wave, Braniff burst into the box with the ball and almost finished shooting.
In the 67th minute of the game, Braniff finally managed to complete a pass, he received a pass in front of the center circle, started to shake off three defenders in a row, rushed directly into the penalty area, and then shook off the defenders in the penalty area, and picked the goalkeeper's head in a clever way to send the ball into the goal.
The goal was Branifer's show.
The SZ players were the foil to the goalscoring performance, and their rough defence was on display so vividly that even the goalkeeper blackened his face as he prepared to make a save, only to have a pick from Braniff who almost watched the ball leap over his head and fall headlong into the back of the net.
When Braniff looked like a 'Lao Tzu Niu X' and kept chatting with his teammates, Zhang Yang really couldn't see it, how could he also play with a domestic team, how could he play so 'bully'?
So Zhang Yang immediately replaced Braniff.
Braniff this is so depressed!
Braniff was playing happily and feeling the most comfortable field, and the opponents couldn't defend themselves at all, and with so many fans watching, he was the only shining star of the game.
This kind of competition is so refreshing!
It was replaced.
Braniff walked off the field with a pouting of dissatisfaction, looked at Zhang Yangqiang and grinned, and said, "Boss! I want to keep playing! ”
Zhang Yang tugged at the corners of his mouth, "You're about to provoke the other party, if you continue, maybe you can only leave with a limp." ”
Braniff glanced back at the field and suddenly felt a little scared, he didn't want to get hurt at all. If you continue to play like that, it will not be good news to anger your opponent.
Braniff is off.
But there is a 'legend of him' among the fans.
Among the Millwall team, the most famous is the 'leaving' Bent, after Bent's departure, the second most famous person may be Morris, maybe Zambrotta, but it will certainly not be Braniff.
Now many fans have changed their minds and they think that the best player should be Braniff.
Braniff's performance was so dazzling that he single-handedly beat the entire back line of the SZ team, and his performance was reminiscent of Maradona, who simply ignored the opposition defence and nothing.
Such players are the best!
Football is a team sport, but fans prefer individual heroism, what they like to see is individual play, and Braniff has met the expectations of the fans.
After Braniff went off, the game was still the same.
Millwall didn't have much to say about their style of play, and it was all up to the individual players to play a lot less of a pressing effect overall, and SZ took the opportunity to play a few good waves of attacks, and also scored a face-saving goal five minutes from the end of the game.
However, Millwall were not without performance, Luka Toney received the ball to create a threat and was blocked by a foul, and Simpson took a free-kick straight into the corner of the opponent's goal.
In the end, Millwall won the game 5-1.
