Millwall survived the tense Christmas game, and the game against Bolton Wanderers was over, and the team finally had a week of rest.

It's not easy.

In the previous December, Millwall played an average of two games a week, and such a dense number of games made the team very tired and the form of the players was greatly affected.

A week doesn't sound like much, but it allows the players to relax.

Zhang Yang gave the team two days off.

During this period of time, the outside media were frantically reporting on Millwall, reporting on their 60-round unbeaten streak, reporting that they won the six crowns in 2007, but Zhang Yang was not very interested in the report, but felt that too much praise would only cause negative effects.

After the end of the holiday, Zhang Yang began to train his eyeballs strictly.

In the next four days, Millwall's training had only one content, that is, recovery of training, physical recovery, state recovery, allowing the players to adjust their state and spirit, and Zhang Yang even invited a well-known psychiatrist-

Moldo Cantes.

Moldo Canters is a well-known psychologist who works at the London Medical Centre and is a professor at the London Medical School.

Zhang Yang asked Moldo Kantes to treat each player individually for a period of time, and if he is sick or not, he must have no problem with the psychiatrist, he mainly wants the players to maintain a stable state of mind.

When it comes to the game, you have to be relaxed, but you can't do without the desire to win.

It's a balance.

Millwall will continue to be very busy with the rest of the competition as they face four tiers with the FA Cup on the horizon.

This is no joke.

In the case of four-line operations, there is one game in each event every month, which adds up to four games, considering that the FA Cup has just started, there are two League Cup semi-finals, and the Champions League has just entered the knockout round, and every event has been held to the end, which is a very difficult job, even if it is a single game, there is a lot of confidence to win, but by the end of May for such a long time, no one dares to say that the team can win all the victories, because the state and spirit of the players are difficult to guarantee.

While Moldo Kantes was giving psychotherapy to the players, Zhang Yang was worried that some players were 'overrelaxed' and did ideological work for them, "Look at what's going on outside? We were the six-time champions of 2007, what a wonderful word, and in retrospect, it's exhilarating, and surely quite a few of you are proud of it! ”

"But now is not the time to be happy, the honor we should strive for, we have not been able to get it, now is the best opportunity! FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League, League, we have the toughest fixtures but I'm pretty sure our goal is to win everything! ”

"It's just the beginning, I hope you take it as the beginning, we still need to work hard, continue to persevere, I think, when you retire, look back on your career, this will definitely be the most memorable moment!"

"All champions!"

"Do you dare to imagine? But we all have the strength to get it! I think you'll be hungry too. Some people may think that the goal of winning all the championships is too high, I don't want to put pressure on you, I just hope that you can do your best and play every game! As long as we work hard, even if we can't make it to the end, we won't regret it......"

Zhang Yang's speech was still very successful.

Many players get excited when they hear the goal of 'all champions', and it will be the greatest record to remember.

Many people felt that last year's 'six crowns' were good enough, and now they know that the coach has higher ambitions.

But like the coach said, we all have a chance to fight for it, so why not go for it? As long as you work hard, even if you don't make it to the end, you won't regret it!

Many of the players were immediately motivated.

Millwall were in high spirits for the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup against fellow London side Tottenham Hotspur.

According to the rules of the Carabao Cup, the semi-finals will be played home and away, the first round against Tottenham Hotspur will be played at Neil Stadium, and the final match will be played at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham are the 'easy to play against' team.

Zhang Yang is not worried about the game, one is the morale of the team, and the other is that Tottenham's traditional style is attacking, and they generally do not use defensive strategies.

The last time he played against Arsenal, Wenger's defensive strategy was still fresh in Zhang Yang's memory, but he believed that Joel was a disciplined manager and would not be as utilitarian as Wenger, and Tottenham did not have the strength to fight back and beat Millwall.

The game was as it was imagined.

Millwall got off to a good start with a three-minute goal, and Livermore, blessed by the effects of "Faith in Fitanity", exploded and gave his team the lead with his first shot on goal.

After that, Livermore continued to perform well, he was like a bull in midfield, constantly running and scrambling to give Tottenham Hotspur an attacking headache, and as long as he had the opportunity, he could deliver the fatal blow.

Such a performance is dominant.

Zhang Yang looked at Livermore's performance and felt very pleased, because Livermore's good performance also proved that he had a high 'degree of trust' in himself.

Livermore's brilliance has made Tottenham very nerve-wracking.

In the seventeenth minute, Millwall played again with a brilliant combination when Morris, who had returned from injury, jumped the ball into the box and Jamie Vardy scrambled for the ball to score.

2 to 0.

Such a quick extension of the lead seemed to make the semi-finals lose suspense early, but Tottenham Hotspur performed well after that, and quickly recovered a goal in the second half, which once again made the two sides suspenseful, but near the end, Livermore scored again with a heavy gun, making the situation very favorable for Millwall in an instant.

3 to 1.

The scoreline made it very difficult for Tottenham to beat Millwall, who had to play 2-0 at home to knock them out.

In the eyes of many people, Millwall's focus should be on the league and the Champions League, and the cup is to fight for it, and give up if it can't, after all, they have too many events, and they didn't expect Millwall to perform so well, which also proves that they want to win the League Cup.

"What's the point of the League Cup?"

"If you insist on fighting on multiple fronts like this, you may be dragging down the whole team!"

“……”

After the game, some reporters bluntly said that the League Cup and FA Cup wanted to ask Zhang Yang's opinion, and Zhang Yang said with a smile, "We don't care about the Cup." But if the players want to win and perform well in the game, I can't deny their efforts. ”

What this means is, we just play normally, we don't care if we win, the players work hard to win, who can do it?

Zhang Yang did not say that he would fight for all the victories, and his speech was still relatively low-key, but the media drew a surprising conclusion from Millwall's performance.

Millwall will not give up on any competition, they will work hard for every competition, including the FA Cup!

Lose your marbles!

They must be crazy!

Many media outlets were shocked that Millwall won six titles last year, could it be that this season their goal has become to win them all?

It would be very brilliant if Millwall was to be realized, and it also alarmed the media, because they found out that Millwall could really do it.

Suddenly, the media gritted their teeth and poured cold water, "Millwall's fourth-line battle will definitely bring down the entire team!" ”

"They'll get nothing!"

"Millwall's results are good, but they're so greedy!"

"It's not enough to have the league and the Champions League, they are still thinking about the League Cup and the FA Cup!"

“……”

The outside coverage didn't affect Millwall, and they continued to work towards their goal --

On 12 January, Millwall beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home to extend their unbeaten run to 61 games.

On January 19, Millwall challenged Portsmouth away, Portsmouth used an all-defensive strategy, Millwall had no choice but to win only one zero score, but the unbeaten run also extended to 62 games.

On January 21, the League Cup semi-final battle was staged at White Hart Lane, Tottenham Hotspur scored two goals in a row in the first half and had seen the dawn of victory, but Millwall scored two goals in three minutes in the second half, once again putting Tottenham's dream of entering the final, and ruthlessly kicked into the abyss.

Millwall have secured their ticket to the final and will face Chelsea for the Carabao Cup.

After the League Cup semi-final, Zhang Yang expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance, "Tottenham played well in the first half, they took advantage of the home advantage and scored two goals in a row. But overall, we played well, but the players didn't get into the groove quickly and the performance of the opponents was a big factor. ”

'I'm happy to beat Tottenham because we got our ticket to the final.

'Chelsea are old rivals and I want the team to win, we won the Carabao Cup last season and we want to defend the title this season as well.......

As for the media asking whether he would strive for the championship in other events, Zhang Yang avoided talking about it.

There was no need for him to say more on the question of 'yes'.
