Chapter 495 The representative of the young head coach

Millwall's victory ended with Morris lifting the trophy.

The next day there was a frenzy of media coverage.

Millwall's title winning report mainly revolves around the course of the whole season, Millwall won the championship as 'undefeated', at least so far, the league has been played for 36 rounds, Millwall has not lost.

That's a highlight.

Another attraction is the clichΓ© 'rapid rise', Millwall won the league title for two consecutive seasons as a promoted horse, which in the eyes of many is very incredible.

To say that last season, Millwall suddenly broke out to win the championship, and it was considered to be other teams in the Premier League, and I don't know much about Millwall, just like Wigan Athletic, who was just promoted at the beginning of the season, and the results were also very good, but it was not how strong they were, but that other teams did not understand Wigan Athletic, and the performance was not bad, so they played very good results.

Millwall were a bit more extreme, with good results continuing throughout the season.

At the start of the season, many media outlets analysed Millwall's strengthening, and they only thought they were eligible to compete for the top four in the league, rather than being able to continue to compete for the title.

The media that did such a commentary and analysis have now all shut up, and they have instead begun to tout Millwall.

Millwall has already won the title and it doesn't make sense to say anything more.

The next report is to take stock of the heroes who won the championship.

Millwall's good results continued throughout the season, many players have outstanding performances, and the first echelon of players is naturally indispensable to Darren Bent, Braniff, Livermore and other extremely good players; Vardy, Simpson, Morris, Pire and other players have been placed in the second echelon, Morris's performance is still very controversial, what strength he has for the time being, the performance in the competition is not bad, but in terms of the whole season, Morris's performance is indeed more mediocre, and there are still some gaps with the dazzling players in the first echelon.

The above is about the midfield.

Millwall's backline has been unanimously praised as they have conceded just 21 goals in the league, the joint-fewest against Chelsea, and the credit for the defence has been immense.

Goalkeeper Graham was praised, while Darren Ward, Zambrotta, Koncheski, Wes Morgan, and players such as Barragan and Traore were all praised by the media.

In the Millwall team, even fringe players such as Curtis Weston have been featured in the media, and other players have been reported for a long time.

The most discussed in the team is Zhang Yang as the head coach.

Zhang Yang is considered to be the biggest contributor to Millwall's victory, which is even indisputable, and there is not even a single voice of doubt in many media reports.

Millwall was led to the rise of the team by Zhang Yang.

From relegation from the Championship to promotion, from Premier League promotion to champions, and now successfully defending the title, the Champions League has also reached the semi-finals, and AC Milan has a very good performance in the first leg, Millwall has been growing, and the publicity has become extremely dazzling.

Zhang Yang is only twenty-four years old.

At the age of twenty-four, being the head coach, few people believe it, let alone the head coach, to be a 'coach', even a better 'junior team coach' is amazing.

From this point of view, Bruno Boehly is actually quite remarkable.

Of course, returning to the topic of publicity, many people sighed, "Professional football seems to have ushered in a young era!" ”

Before the turn of the century, when it came to professional football coaches, most people would think of old coaches who were 50 years old or even older, and the famous coaches of the time were like this - Robson, Ferguson, Capello, Arsene Wenger, Redknapp, Lippi, and so on.

Each of these names can cause a stir in European football.

At the turn of the new century, the situation is different.

The new coaches in world football seem to be younger than the other - Mourinho, Loew, McLaren, David Moyes, they all became famous at the age of about forty.

This shows that the age of the head coach's fame is decreasing.

Forty years old, in fact, is also a benchmark age, the retirement age of professional players, generally at the age of thirty-four to thirty-eight, after the players retire, some will become coaches, more famous, level, is likely to have the qualification to serve as a head coach, for example, the former Manchester United star Roy Keane, who retired last year, quickly turned into a head coach and led Sunderland to the Champions League.

After officially becoming the head coach, he has the ability to use a few years to lead the team to play well, and recently stood out in the football coaching world.

This is a 'practical' coach.

There is also a type of coaching called 'academy' coaching, which is those who have no professional experience, or who retired early in their careers, to become full-time football coaches.

Among the 'academic' coaches, the representative ones are Mourinho and Benitez, who do not have brilliant professional player experience, and if they want to become coaches directly, they need to be certified, both of them have gone through a complex and difficult learning process, and they have done some other work halfway, and only after the age of 35 can they have the opportunity to really get in touch with coaching.

So the age of their fame is also around forty years old.

Zhang Yang is the special one.

Zhang Yang has neither professional football experience nor UEFA certificate experience, he is not a 'practical player', nor is he a 'academy', and he is certainly not in between, he is just an ordinary community college graduate, and his way to fame is to comment on football matches on Weibo.

When he became famous, he entered Millwall FC by chance, and then took over the position of head coach and began his coaching career.

"Zhang Yang's experience of becoming a head coach may be able to write an autobiography, the content must be quite exciting!" Veteran coach Redknapp was interviewed by the media and commented on Zhang Yang, saying, "There is a threshold in any industry, and the head coaching industry is the same. You have to learn a lot of things and have certain qualifications, for example, how can a high school dropout enter the R&D department of a tech company without any qualifications? ”

"yes, that's incredible. That's what happens when Zhang Yang becomes the head coach, and he comes in in a strange way. Sorry, I used 'weird', but that's what it is, and I'm sure others will see it that way. ”

"It's rare that he succeeded. Very successful, unbelievably successful! Championship titles, two Premier League titles, FA Cup, League Cup, he only took two and a half years! ”

"Anyone who sees Millwall's results is crazy. I believe that in the next 10 or 20 years, even further afield, it will be difficult to find something crazier. ”

Redknapp's interview was only the tip of the iceberg of Zhang Yang's report, and more media were happy to mention Zhang Yang's age, and the Times published an article commenting, "Zhang Yang's success represents the rejuvenation of football coaches!" ”

The analysis article of "The Times" not only mentioned Zhang Yang, but also listed some young coaches in their thirties who are already famous, and analyzed, "Realistic examples show that the head coach does not necessarily need to be old, maybe the experience of leading the team is very important, but it is more dependent on talent, such as some old coaches, the results of leading the team are not necessarily good, and they are not even necessarily stable, and young people can always bring something new to professional football." ”

"The most impressive thing about Zhang Yang's leadership of Millwall this season is the tactics they played, 'double core', a very old but very new word. Many teams want to play the core, and there are many football people who have elaborated on the concept of a double core, but the term has been stuck in the 'concept' before, and it has not been proven in practice. ”

"It's like the physical laws of the universe, there are always theoretical physicists who will put forward all kinds of wonderful ideas, and even some of them seem to be dreamed, and they are very interesting to say, but they can't be proved at all, but Zhang Yang has led the team to realize it."

"Zhang Yang is only 24 years old, his future is still very broad, it is difficult for us to imagine what it will be like in 10 or 20 years, but there is no doubt that Zhang Yang will still be very famous and still a man of the year in world football, because he is only about 40 years old - an age when many professional coaches are just starting out."

The reports of various major media are also mixed with some detailed analysis of Millwall--

Lineup, morale, tactics, and more.

The media are happy to explain to the fans why Millwall are playing well.

Zhang Yang was not dismissive of these at all.

That's the expert.

Experts always analyze it as an afterthought, but their analysis was wrong at the beginning, Millwall's results are good, there are tactical reasons, and there are also lineup reasons, but the key is that the supernatural ability works, and if you don't know this secret, analyzing it is tantamount to nonsense.

From this point of view, experts like to '', and there is a certain amount of truth.

After Millwall won the league title, the pressure on the team was much less, and they didn't have to be distracted and just focused on the Champions League.

During the interval between the competitions, Zhang Yang was rarely idle and cared about the investment work.

A large part of the first investment was a trial, Zhang Yang did not understand the specific effect of the judgment of 'Da Ji' and 'Xiao Ji' in the results of 'trading divination', so he asked Tagore to make some investments that would be expected to return in advance.

It's been less than a week so far.

A week is a short time, but the stock price has risen a lot, among which the largest investment amount CHAOHUO.Q rose by 11 points in a few days, which made Zhang Yang feel happy at the same time, but also has great confidence in future investment.

So the second step of the plan is also about to begin.

On the same day, Zhang Yang asked Andy and Wu Haibo to fly to the United States together, go to the New York Stock Exchange, and handle the qualifications for Zhang's investment to buy options, futures, etc., and for a long time later, Andy and Wu Haibo are going to work in New York, and it is this step that really makes money. It is necessary to use leverage to operate and risk ten times the risk to win ten times the return.

Of course, for Zhang Yang, there is almost no risk, he only needs to use 'transaction divination', constantly judge the transaction, and remotely command the transaction.

Next, Zhang Yang devoted himself to the team's preparation.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Millwall and AC Milan was played on May 2, with an interval of only eight days, and when the aftermath of Millwall's victory did not go away, the focus of media coverage returned to the Champions League.

After Millwall's successful title defense, Millwall fans are looking forward to the Champions League.

If Millwall can win the Champions League, plus the League Cup and the league, they will be the real treble winners, and they will become the first team to win the treble after Manchester United in '99.

Millwall was looking forward to it.

This has been reported by a number of British media, but Millwall's precondition for winning the title is that they first have to pass AC Milan.

In the first leg of the game at Neil Stadium, Millwall defeated AC Milan 3-1, but the two goal advantages were not enough for Millwall to advance, AC Milan sat at home, there is still a chance, if you talk about the score, AC Milan only needs 2-0 to eliminate Millwall to advance to the final.

So Millwall can't afford to be careless and have to face the second leg squarely.

As the time of the game approached, more and more relevant reports were published in the media, and the atmosphere of the big battle became more and more intense.
