Central London Hospital.

Zhang Yang found the examination room where Morris was.

Morris's injury is not serious, and when he is not out of the court, he can already walk on his own, but he looks a little awkward when he twists and turns, and the team doctor said that he may have injured his hip muscles, and he came to a regular hospital for a detailed examination.

By the time Zhang Yang arrived, the results of the examination had already come out.

One doctor took the film and other test data and came to the final conclusion, "There shouldn't be a big problem, it's just that the buttock-tock-muscle is damaged, and he probably fell to the ground in the buttock, right?" ”

Zhang Yang pulled the corners of his mouth, glanced at Morris who was lying on his stomach, couldn't help but laugh, and nodded, "It should be." ”

The doctor nodded, "In the past few days, he needs to sleep on his side or on his stomach, and he usually does not sit upright, in short, he does not let the injured part be stressed." Under normal circumstances, it will be possible to recover in a week, but within half a month, it is best not to do strenuous exercise. ”

Hearing the doctor's statement, Morris, who was lying on his stomach on the bed, felt very embarrassed, hip muscles? It's a little awkward to listen to.

Zhang Yang exhaled a long breath, feeling a little funny, but in the end he held back, he coughed lightly, and told Morris, "Take care of your injury, the team needs you very much." ”

"I will, Boss!"

Morris muttered on his stomach.

Old teammates such as Darren Ward and Neil Harris also came to visit Morris, they were all waiting outside the door, and when Zhang Yang walked out, they immediately asked, "How is Jody?" ”

"Ahem...... You go in and ask? Zhang Yang kindly didn't say it, and the butt injury was explained, except for making everyone laugh, it is estimated that there will be no other consequences.

After that, Zhang Yang left the hospital and felt very depressed on the way home.

Recently, the team has suffered serious attrition.

Braniff has been injured, plus a Jody Morris, Smitchell, Simpson's cold has not recovered, the injuries in the team are really serious, fortunately, everyone's injuries are not serious, and there will be players returning to the team one after another, but it will definitely affect the progress of tactical training, and the condition of the players cannot be guaranteed just after the injury has just recovered.

There was good news that night: Chelsea drew again!

Chelsea's away game at Aston Villa was met with a lot of media attention ahead of the game, as Chelsea had just drawn Charlton Athletic and Everton in the FA Cup, making it two draws in a row that gave many the impression that Chelsea's form was slipping.

Chelsea started the game well.

Arjen Robben gave Chelsea the lead in the 18th minute, and in the 77th minute of the second half, Aston Villa pressed on the line and Luke Moore received a cross from a wide team-mate and kicked the ball straight into the door of the Cech-guarded goal.

1 to 1!

It's also the final game.

In just ten days, Chelsea have gone through two league games, an FA Cup and an FA Cup, all of which ended in draws, dropping four points and being overtaken by Millwall.

Millwall rise to the top of the league table!

This news was really surprising, and many people sent congratulatory text messages for a while--

Ebenezer: "Zhang! Congratulations! We're at the top of the league! ”

Grigory: "Well done! I have a hunch that during my presidency, Millwall will win a Premier League trophy! ”

Arsene Wenger: "Congratulations on surpassing Chelsea and winning the league title! I know every point is very important to you now, but in the next game, Arsenal will not let go ......

Old John: "Haha! Your team is number one! ”

Catherine: "I've heard of the first?" ”

David Moyes: "Millwall have been doing really well lately, will the number one continue until the end of the league? ”

“……”

A group of players who came home heard that Chelsea had drawn and immediately rushed over to report the good news, "Boss, do you know the Chelsea game?" We're number one in the league! ”

"Boss! Call the Boss! Big deal! ”

"First! First! First! Boss, we're number one! ”

“……”

One message after another, dazzling, Zhang Yang still couldn't help but be happy, read it very patiently, and then he wrote a Weibo, which was placed on European and domestic Weibo respectively--

'Chelsea's draw with Aston Villa was really unexpected news.

But it also makes sense.

No team can win all the time, and that's something to be wary of. Happily, we are at the top of the league table for the time being!

Someone asked me: 'Can I stay at the top of the list until the end of the season?' ’

My answer was, 'We'll do our best, and that's our goal.'" ’”

Zhang Yang has never publicly said what Millwall's goal is, and after ranking at the top of the league, he couldn't help but be happy and said the biggest thought in his heart: to compete for the championship!

Millwall's goal for the season is to finish in the top four, and the top four is a must-have, so why not go for the title? It's like right now, the team is top of the league and as long as they can keep it until the end of the season, the title will go to Millwall.

It's not impossible.

There are a lot of outside media who are optimistic about Millwall, because they have a real chance.

So far this season, Millwall have not only had a chance, they have also basically confirmed the top two places in the league: third-placed Manchester United, who have not been doing well recently, have reached 16 points with Millwall.

Sixteen points!

Millwall have lost five games in a row and United have been unable to recover them.

So far in the league, it is almost certain that the top two belong to Chelsea and Millwall, the only uncertainty is which team will win the league.

A lot happened this night.

Jody Morris is injured, but probably happy for the team's results now, right?

He has a lot of credit.

Millwall are happy to be at the top of the league table, having regained top of the table for the first time since being overtaken by Chelsea at the start of the season, and there will certainly be plenty of Millwall fans excited as they see the glory of the title.

Everyone else associated with Millwall is happy with the team's results.

Of course, there are also unhappy ones.

It was Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, with Millwall's game two hours ahead of the clock, and when Chelsea drew with Aston Villa, he knew Chelsea had taken the lead.

A group of media reporters were interested in Chelsea's overtaking, and Mourinho attended the press conference and avoided talking about Chelsea's being squeezed out of the top spot, instead talking about Morris's injury, because he made 'controversial' remarks in a fit of anger, he talked about it, and said, "I don't understand why he is so angry, the league title is a whole season thing, not one or two players can decide. ”

By now anyone would have to admit that Millwall were Chelsea's biggest rivals.

In the past, Mourinho would not talk about Millwall in public because he did not think Millwall would be an opponent for Chelsea or that there was a rivalry between Millwall and Chelsea.

There is no competition between the two teams, so Mourinho naturally won't say much.

Now it's different.

Mourinho's belief that both of these were overturned, with Millwall beating Chelsea at home and they also leapfrogged Chelsea on points to move to top of the league table.

Publicity does not make Mourinho arrogant.

There may be some coaches who can ignore Mourinho's words, but Zhang Yang is definitely not one of them, and when he learned what Mourinho said the next day, he immediately sarcastically said, "Not every team can squander tens of millions of pounds at will like Chelsea and buy players who don't have a good effect." Jody is not worth much, but his performances are world-class. ”

'And I don't think it's a positive thing for a Chelsea manager to mock a player from Chelsea's youth team. Everybody can see what Jody is doing, and I dare say he's the most important player for Millwall, much better than the many multi-million pound guys in some teams. ”

Zhang Yang continued, "That's what I'm going to say. The pound is not everything, the depth of the bench doesn't mean anything, they have a gorgeous squad in the third line, but they still lost to us, and now the points are also surpassed by us, I don't know what he has to be proud of? ”

This passage made Mourinho quite depressed.

Chelsea's defeat away to Millwall and the league points have been surpassed is an indisputable fact, the second round of meetings between the two teams has not yet taken place, and it seems that Millwall have the upper hand, but he still retorted forcefully, "Of course he will be happy because Millwall are top of the league." But I dare say it will be the only time. Now that his players are injured, are you still in the mood to criticise Chelsea? I can already predict that by the end of February, we will have no competitors. ”

Jose Mourinho was referring to Millwall's injury problems, which will seriously affect the team's results, and as long as Millwall's results slip, Chelsea will naturally have no rivals.

The war of words between the two attracted countless fans.

There are some who support Millwall and Zhang Yang, and there are those who support Chelsea and Jose Mourinho.

It's all buzzing in the media.

England fans watched with relish, but they didn't care at all, because war of words is a frequent occurrence, and the ironic dialogue between the two is just a fragment of the Premier League managers' bickering.

More than halfway through the league, the format of the championship is already clear.

The top four teams in the Premier League are Millwall, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, of which Millwall and Chelsea are far ahead, Manchester United and Arsenal have similar points, and the advantage of the team behind them is also obvious.

Manchester United, Arsenal and the top two are relatively different, it is impossible to catch up in a short period of time, and even to catch up for the whole season, it is a bit unrealistic, and the hope is too small to lead to the loss of direct competition between the two sides.

Manchester United and Arsenal fans are a little difficult to accept, the league has only passed 24 rounds, and they have been deprived of the hope of competing for the title in advance.

But that's just the way it is!

Many British media have to shout about the rankings, "The Premier League has changed!" ”

The teams that competed for the title in the past are absolutely indispensable Manchester United and Arsenal, the two teams have a history of competition for more than ten years, and the two managers of Ferguson and Wenger have always been the focus of the Premier League.

It's different now.

The focus of the Premier League title race has become Zhang Yang and Jose Mourinho.

However, the competition for the third and fourth places in the league is also very significant, the third in the league means that next season directly to participate in the Champions League group stage, and the fourth is to play the qualifying round, Manchester United, Arsenal when the old rivals, but also do not admit defeat to each other, Ferguson, Wenger is still very active, last week also broke out a war of words, not surprisingly, in the end, Wenger said that "in the future, no longer respond to Ferguson's words", and proposed that "the manager should also be responsible for what was said before the game", Ferguson won a big victory in the war of words.

These are all topics that England fans are talking about, but in any case, Manchester United and Arsenal's inability to compete for the title has also caused the two teams to attract a lot less attention.

Millwall has undoubtedly taken center stage.

After reaching the top of the league table, the third day happened to be the time of the Premier League's 'last month's summary', with Millwall winning all six games in January (four league games and two FA Cup games) to become the undisputed best team last month, and Zhang Yang was once again awarded the title of 'Coach of the Month'. Whenever a manager wins the 'Monthly Awards' title, the media will always interview the manager and ask the manager to give a 'testimonial'.

Zhang Yang was also interviewed and said, "No one will be dissatisfied with all six wins." Considering the difficulties we faced, the results were even more difficult to come by. ”

"It's the result of the whole team's hard work."

"There is a saying in China that 'unity is strength', as long as the team is united, actively face every game, actively deal with and work hard, I believe that no difficulty can beat us, and we can also beat one or one opponent!"

Zhang Yang's uplifting tone changed to talk about the team's goals, "Now, I can say that we have achieved the goal of relegation ahead of schedule. We are first in the league, the points are enough to relegation, which is something to celebrate with the whole club, relegation is the most basic, then we should also work hard for the new goal......"

The media reporters were immediately excited.

Everyone knows that Millwall have a title shot and have even become the only team to compete with Chelsea.

Millwall's goal can only be placed on winning the championship!

But Zhang Yang only emphasized 'relegation' again and again in public, and almost never said anything about winning the championship.

In addition, the Weibo content released by Zhang Yang two days ago seems to mention Millwall's championship, but it is still not a 'public occasion', and they hope to hear directly in Zhang Yang's mouth that 'Millwall's goal is to win the championship'.

So a reporter asked, "How confident are Millwall to complete the championship?" ”

This question is very interesting.

No matter how confident Zhang Yang answered, it means that Millwall has set his goal on winning the championship, but the text trap of the English Chinese language, compared to the broad and profound Chinese culture, is really small, and even ants cannot compare.

Zhang Yang reacted immediately, and said strangely in a daze, "Winning the championship?" No, we just want to play well. We're just a relegation team, and even if we're top of the league, we're still relegation. ”

"Don't forget, we're just promoted horses, and promoted horses can win the championship? You're not kidding......"

"Yes, we have achieved relegation ahead of schedule and need to set a bigger target, so ...... We will try to finish the season and get a better standing...... Ahem, qualifying for the European races should be quite a great goal for a promoted horse. ”

The corners of the media reporters' mouths twitched.

Qualifying for the European Event?

Millwall have 27 points more than sixth-placed Newcastle United, and even if they don't pick up a point from now on, they will almost finish in the top six.

This young Chinese is no longer low-key.

He did it on purpose!
