Chapter 141: Facing Reality

Millwall swept past Leeds United to win 3-0 and finish fifth in the league.

Millwall fans are thrilled and delighted by the team's results.

After the game, many fans stayed at Neill Stadium and refused to leave, all of them chanting and cheering for the victory, and the frenzy was also a headache for Millwall FC.

The players had to go back to the pitch before leaving, and once again thank the fans.

In this process, the most named by the fans is not the core of the team, Jody Morris, nor striker Neil Harris or others, but the Zhang Yang who stands at the end of the team.

"Publicity!"

"We've got your back!"

"You're outstanding!"

A shout of simple support on behalf of the stands rang out from the stands, and Zhang Yang had to stand up and wave to the stands with a smile while enjoying the cheers of the fans.

The fans in the front row asked to shake hands with Zhang Yang, and the fans in the back of the station asked for the same.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, but still agreed to the intimate request, but when he walked up to the aisle of the stands, he was hugged tightly by a female fan who came out.

Zhang Yang didn't face the crazy situation directly, no one knew what the problem would be, so he hurriedly ran back, but there was still a big lipstick mark on his cheek.

Many fans laughed in the stands.

"These fans are so enthusiastic!" On the way back to the club, Zhang Yang wiped his cheeks in distress, the lipstick marks on them were a little too strong, and there were some green paint marks, and it was difficult to wipe them off.

"I really envy you, young! I wanted to be kissed passionately by the female fans, but unfortunately no one wanted to do that. ”

Odles said with some jealousy.

The players in the back row of the car were talking about the enthusiasm of the fans and the embarrassment of Zhang Yang just now, which was really interesting, but their talk also made Zhang Yang's face darker, "I didn't even see what that female fan looked like, what is there to envy." ”

"I see it."

Aldous deliberately stopped.

Zhang Yang stared at him with two eyes, until he said embarrassedly, "Okay, I only saw the silhouette, the figure is very good, with long brown hair, it should be a beautiful girl." ”

"Thanks, now I can have dinner."

"I saw it!"

A head in the back row came over, it was Curtis Weston, Zhang Yang and Alderston looked over, Weston was a little embarrassed, "I mean...... Boss, Mr. Verneval, I mean I saw it, and it was actually a girl, fifteen years old, because I knew her. ”

"You know her?"

Weston nodded, glanced at the back row, and whispered, "Didn't you notice?" David didn't follow in the car, he walked away alone. Many people have seen her, it is David's sister, but I don't know what it is called, David never takes the initiative to introduce ......"

Zhang Yang's mouth opened wide as he listened.

Aldous was also surprised, but there was more gossip in his eyes.

"Are you sure? Curtis? Zhang Yang asked carefully.

Weston was a little confused, he nodded, "Of course, I'm pretty sure, I saw her two years ago, and before leaving, I saw David with her, but boss, why are you ...... Yes, it was ...... surprise."

Zhang Yang asked seriously, "Do you know that she attends St. Paul's Girls' High School?" ”

"St. Paul's Girls' High School?"

"Impossible!"

Not only Curtis Weston, but even Aldous couldn't help but be surprised, and Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively, "I heard David say that she is studying at St. Paul's Girls' High School, which is a prestigious school. ”

"What a wonderful girl!"

"Yes! It's so good, not to mention St. Paul's Girls' High School, I don't even want to go to a regular secondary school. ”

"But ......"

Aldous struggled for a long time before he said, "How can she be David's sister?" David? Can his sister go to St. Paul's Girls' High School? ”

"Ahem, let's not gossip about other people's families."

Zhang Yang said seriously, but his eyes swept to Weston, Weston received it, and he blinked continuously, which means 'Don't worry, boss, I'll investigate clearly'.

————

Millwall's four wins in a row is very encouraging news, not to mention the fans and the rest of the team, the atmosphere in the first team has become very good, and the confidence of the players in the team has increased, as Zhang Yang said, "We achieved our first small goal! ”

At that time, when Zhang Yang made his promotion goal clear, he locked these four games.

"It's a must-win game!"

In fact, Zhang Yang didn't want to put pressure on the team, but Millwall was exactly when it needed pressure.

Before there was a promotion goal, the players didn't care about the game, but with the big goal of promotion, they worked a lot harder, and the first small goal was to win four games, which was a bit stressful to say, but now they have done it.

Stoke City, Cardiff City, Brighton & Hove Albion and Leeds United, who have won four opponents in a row.

When the first small goal is achieved, it is equivalent to taking the first step towards success, and many people feel that the completion of the upgrade is not too far away, at least they see hope.

But the next game is still crucial.

Many of the players in the squad felt a little relieved, but Zhang Yang knew the importance of the next game, and in the forty-six games in the entire league, one game may not be a big deal at all, but no matter how many wins Millwall have, they will only be fifth in the league.

Zhang Yang's goal is to squeeze into the top two in the league.

It wasn't easy.

Millwall have dropped so many points that every opportunity to catch up with them cannot be missed.

In the match against Wigan Athletic, compared to the other two games, as long as the team can get three points, it is equivalent to the opponent conceding three points.

Think about it.

Millwall and Wigan Athletic are now separated by seven league points, and a loss would widen the gap between the two teams to ten, and a win would be four.

That's the difference.

Ten points and four points, one out and one in is six league points.

Wigan Athletic currently sit top of the league and are level on points with second-placed Sunderland, and a win over Wigan Athletic would leave them just four points off 'second in the league', with nine games to go, and Millwall have plenty of chances.

Conversely, a difference of ten points is different.

Teams like Sunderland and Wigan Athletic may not be able to concede ten points in nine games, and the team may not even have a chance to work hard, and if they only retreat to qualify for the promotion play-offs, when the time comes for four teams to compete, no small mistakes will be allowed.

That's too dangerous!

In order to have a better chance of beating Wigan Athletic, Zhang Yang has personally supervised the training for several days, seriously urged the players to carry out targeted tactical training, and constantly used various ways to cheer up the team, so that every player has become high-spirited.

At the same time, Zhang Yang was also troubled by the starting lineup.

The formation for the game against Wigan Athletic has been determined, that is, the defensive formation of 523, and the whole team has been training in the past week, but there is a key position in the starting lineup -

Front.

The 523 formation is not without strikers, the strikers are in the middle of the '3', and Millwall must rely on the strikers to fight if they want to attack.

The choice of striker is key.

Zhang Yang has three options, one is Neil Harris, Harris has always been the main striker, with the most appearances and the most goals, but the problem is that he is a little old, thirty-two years old, not young at all, his performance has always been very good, but when it comes to the game, he is a little impulsive if he really wants to rush.

Harris isn't the kind of striker who is good at speed, either.

The second option is Kevin Gere, who is a high school forward with good skill at his feet, but is much worse than Neil Harris, who has more advantages than his physicality, not technique.

It's a bit unimaginable for a high-school striker's physicality to lead the line and help the team score goals.

The last choice, which is actually the choice finalized in Zhang Yang's heart, is Braniff, who has just returned to the team.

Braniff is technically and physically strong, he is also a speedy, technical striker, his style is the first choice for this game, and Braniv has been in good form in recent days.

"Braniff?"

Zhang Yang's brow furrowed slightly, he was still a little worried that this guy would not listen to the command, if he had a choice, he would definitely not consider Braniff, but he knew better, "you can't bring personal emotions to work", as a head coach, you should do even more.

After training that day, Zhang Yang asked Aldous to find Braniff.

In the entire Millwall first team, Braniff is the most special one, because he was punished by Zhang Yang, and he is the only player who has been punished, and the punishment he received is still very serious - at the beginning, he went to the youth team to train, and he has not had the opportunity to play until now.

Now, almost two months have passed.

Two months!

For a professional player, every game that can play is very important, Braniff is the 'first substitute' in Millwall's forward line, he has played a lot, and suddenly, he has not played for two months, and it is not because of injury, but everyone will worry about their career.

Braniff didn't even know what to do.

Two months ago, Braniff felt that he had an advantage, because the media supported him, and Zhang Yang must have been in the team for a short time, but now he sees the situation.

Zhang Yang left?

Maybe he will leave in the future, but he will definitely not be fired.

Just look at Millwall's results, and anyone must recognize the young Chinese's ability to lead the team.

So as long as the other party continues to target him, he doesn't have to play this season, the fans won't be on his side, and the media reporters have disappeared without a trace.

No one will support him.

His agent, Curris, has warned 'don't go against your manager', "If you want to leave, I can help you contact the next home in advance, but even if you want to leave, there is no benefit in going against the other party, you know, not playing for half a year means that no club will be willing to pay a large transfer fee, when Millwall refuses to offer, it is impossible for you to leave, and in the next season, you can't even find the next home." ”

This chilling sentence also made Braniff recognize the reality.

If he stays at Millwall and doesn't get a chance to play, he can't do anything but watch the good times go by, and maybe it's time to think about retirement.

Braniff didn't want that.

He was scared.

So recently, Braniff has become very 'well-behaved', and he arrives early in training every day, and he is very serious in the middle of training, for fear of being caught by Zhang Yang again.

When he heard Aldous say that Zhang Yang asked him to go to the manager's office, Braniff's mood became very apprehensive.

To meet the Chinese?

Damn!

I haven't done anything wrong in the last few days!

It was with this apprehension that Braniff knocked on the door of the manager's office, and he was a little hopeful that if Zhang Yang was not there, then things could be delayed until tomorrow.

"Please come in!"

A crisp shout in the room made Braniff face the reality and walk in with his head down. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
