Chapter 320: An Unexpected Champion
At first, Eriksen refused to talk about the topic and said, "My team doesn't need anyone else to dictate." ”
Then there is no need to talk loudly, the Swedes are about to be drowned by the public saliva.
But not only the media sees it this way, but England fans also see it this way, Darren Bent's performance, everyone sees it, there are many people who support Darren Bent to enter the national team, but the four places in the front line are occupied by a 'Walcott'.
Why?
When the outside world was questioning, Eriksen also had to stand up and say, "The World Cup is coming soon, and at this point in time, there shouldn't be too many changes in the team." Darren Bent is a good player, but his arrival will bring changes up front and other players will have to readjust to that change. We don't have much time. ”
This statement calmed down some people.
Eriksen still has some brains, and for whatever reason, he didn't include Darren Bent in the list, but a simple explanation explains two things, and it is tantamount to praising Darren Bent for his excellence.
What Eriksen meant was, "Darren Bent is brilliant, he's in the national team, he means being in a regular position, it's a big change, we don't have time to adapt. ”
'Theo Walcott is different, he's just a young player and it doesn't make a difference to the team whether he comes in or not.
"So Walcott is on the list, no Darren Bent ......"
Erikson's words suddenly sounded, and it seemed to make a lot of sense, but he couldn't help but think about it carefully.
Will Theo Walcott affect the team?
Darren Bent enters the national team and can also play as a substitute! You can sit on the bench as well!
As long as Darren Bent is reduced in appearances, he is on the bench and can be a killer in times of danger, what can Walcott do? A player who can't play in the Premier League, do you still expect him to show his strength in the World Cup?
In fact, the problem is not only Darren Bent, there are many outstanding English strikers in the Premier League, none of them have been selected for the England team, if only Owen, Rooney, Crouch and others enter, but Walcott's entry has made them all publicly dissatisfied, think about it from another angle, are they not as good as a young player who cannot play in the Premier League?
Next, people like Fowler, Defoe and others came forward and expressed all kinds of sarcasm about the 'England squad'.
Eriksen made a stinky move.
Walcott entered the national team and gave too much talk to others.
Of course, there are also analysts who believe that Eriksen's intentions are good, and he may want to cultivate future seeds for the England team, but as analyzed by "Telesports", "There are many young and excellent strikers in England, Darren Bent is only 22 years old, and Simpson is 19 years old, they are much better than Walcott......"
The follow-up media coverage has made the FA and Eriksen even more troublesome.
The FA is also very unhappy with Eriksen, and they don't understand why the Swede insists on not letting Darren Bent in the list, otherwise there wouldn't be so many doubts?
————
Zhang Yang pondered Eriksen's thoughts, and felt that the other party kicked Darren Bent out of the national team list because of his conflict, because Darren Bent is a Millwall player.
Millwall didn't even have any players in the England squad!
Zhang Yang is concerned about this.
Although Millwall's achievements are based on various supernatural skills, but in a season, one by one has improved a lot, and there are still outstanding players, such as Jody Morris, Darren Bent and others, who have opportunities under normal circumstances, but all Millwall players are excluded from the squad.
This is what makes Zhang Yang feel uncomfortable.
But as Eriksen said, others can't interfere in the England team, and Zhang Yang can only complain verbally, and then he still has to lead the team to play normally.
Three days later, Millwall were in league games.
This is the 35th round of the Premier League, and Millwall's opponent is West Bromwich Albion.
West Bromwich Albion are second from bottom in the league with only 24 points so far, and even the theory of relegation may have been lost, and no one can imagine how much fighting spirit a team that is 'almost certain' of relegation can have, and no one will think that West Bromwich Albion have a chance to win.
It is widely believed that West Bromwich Albion has no intention of fighting, and the relegated team will not perform well, the league is over for them, most of the players are starting to think about the future, and it is certain that some of the players will leave at the end of the season.
This is also inevitable for relegated teams. The best players are not willing to be relegated with the team, and West Bromwich Albion will have to sell some of them to resist the financial pressure of relegation.
There is still a focus on the game.
FA officials have brought the league trophy to Hawthorn Stadium because Millwall's eight-point advantage gives them a chance to win the league title early, provided Millwall win the game and Chelsea cannot.
The chances of this being are slim.
Of course, it's not that Millwall can't win, but Chelsea has a high winning rate, Chelsea just lost the FA Cup, without the pressure of other competitions, even if the chances of winning the league are slim, they will definitely play wholeheartedly, and Chelsea's opponent is only Blackburn, Blackburn Rovers are also playing at home, but it is a little too difficult to draw or beat Chelsea.
Soon the ninety-minute game was over.
Millwall continued their consistent performance, scoring one goal in each half to win 2-1.
From the scoreline, it was a tough process, with Blackburn tying the scores late in the first half, but Millwall regrouped and were quite consistent in the second half, and finally sealed the win thanks to a goal from Jody Morris.
At the end of the game, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines, thinking about the problems highlighted in the game.
West Bromwich Albion have no intention of fighting, Millwall also have little fighting spirit to speak of, and the team's performance is relatively stable, but more because West Bromwich Albion is not a threat.
"Maybe everyone is looking forward to the end of the season?"
Zhang Yang thought.
Millwall have been solid and impressive since Christmas, winning all the way through the league to overtake Chelsea and have a chance to win the title early.
The constant wins in the league have also made the players a little anxious.
Maybe they're positioning the team as a giant? Against a team like West Bromwich Albion, a sure win?
Zhang Yang felt that he had to correct the player's opinion, otherwise the number of games in the future, and even the FA Cup final with Liverpool, would be greatly affected.
"Hey, Zhang, what are you thinking?"
Wise walked over suddenly, his face was full of excitement and excitement, and Zhang Yang was in his confusion when he heard excited shouts from the spectators' stands, which came from the Millwall fans who had not yet left.
"What's going on?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Don't you know?" Wise's face was extremely excited, he held Zhang Yang's hands, as if he was going to make an affectionate hug, but Zhang Yang quickly dodged it, Wise didn't care, but stretched out his hands, hugged Zhang Yang, and hugged him tightly, "We won the championship!" Just now! Chelsea draw with Blackburn! ”
"What?"
Wise took a deep breath and looked at the surrounding environment, there were fans in the stands who knew the news, and suddenly became very noisy, most of the players who walked down the field didn't know yet, they just walked down tiredly, and looked around a little strangely, "We won the championship!" Win the championship three rounds early! ”
Zhang Yang was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted, he grabbed Wise's shoulders with both hands and shook vigorously, "You make it clear, is it Chelsea who didn't win Blackburn?" We won the championship early. ”
"Yes, you're right!"
Zhang Yang took a deep breath, his face flushed with excitement, "Really? Haha, I believe it! I believe it! We've won the championship! We are the champions! ”
"We are champions!" Wise shouted.
Zhang Yang immediately turned his head to look at Braniff, Simpson and others who walked down, "We won the championship!" Guys! Don't look like you're going to die, be happy, we've won the championship! ”
Braniff walked in the front, his reaction was the same as Zhang Yang, he was a little stunned, and Simpson in the back followed and said excitedly, "Kevin, is the boss saying that we won the championship?" ”
"It seems to be...... What the? We won the championship!? ”
"yes!"
"God! Oh, God! We won...... Hahaha!! Braniff shouted excitedly, immediately ran to the rest of his teammates, shouting, "We've won the championship!" We're champions! You can get your trophy early today! ”
"What? Won the championship! ”
"That's how you won? Really? ”
"Chelsea lost?"
"Tie! It's a tie! But...... Enough is enough! ”
"Haha!!"
"We're champions!"
“……”
The Millwall players shouted excitedly as more people learned about the result of the Chelsea and Brakburn games, and they were surprised, but the stadium was buzzing with activity again and even the West Bromwich Albion fans in the stands stopped to watch the award ceremony to follow.
This is actually a bit cruel for West Bromwich Albion.
West Bromwich Albion is definitely going to be relegated, and the opponent won the league championship at Hawthorn Stadium, which is equivalent to stepping on their unlucky face, but more fans feel that it doesn't matter, halfway through the season, they have already determined that the team will be relegated, until now, what else can't be thought of?
Buying a ticket to continue watching the award ceremony and witnessing the new Premier League champions is worth the ticket price.
Many fans think so.
When the Millwall fans shouted for the championship, West Bromwich Albion and the neutral fans all joined in the chorus and shouted twice, making it seem like the surrounding area became the home team's stands.
The "Sky Sports" live broadcast program has also extended the time for this, they are actually preparing for the end of the game, inserting some player interviews and changing faces, allowing front-line reporters to interview Millwall players, or coach Zhang Yang, talk about their views on the game, now there is no need to be so troublesome, the big screen is locked to the field, filming excited players, filming Millwall's celebrations, commentator Mike Johnson also explained, "Millwall won the championship three rounds ahead of schedule!" ”
"It was an unexpected and logical victory! With Millwall's advantage, they don't win the title in this round and have a chance in the next round, but perhaps Millwall didn't expect them to be able to celebrate the championship at Hawthorn Stadium. ”
'They certainly don't have that plan because the next round is Millwall's home game, they play Liverpool and it's perfect to celebrate the win at Neil Stadium, but their rivalry, Chelsea, seems to be a little joke......
'In the other game, Chelsea led Blackburn Rovers by 90 minutes only to be levelled in the last minute. Millwall should be grateful to Savage, it was his bombardment that allowed them to claim the trophy early! ”
"But anyway, congratulations to Millwall, congratulations to them for winning the 2005-2006 Premier League!"
In the shouts of Mike Johnson, the scene erupted into crazy cheers, and the slogans of many fans changed from 'champion' to 'Zhang Yang', and many fans shouted Zhang Yang's name, they thought that Zhang Yang led the team to make Millwall win the championship.
Mike Johnson also said, "Publicity! A young man who has done miracles, he has made England refresh their view of the manager, refresh the way they think about the young manager. ”
"A young man under the age of 23, still from China, a football desert, but he led Millwall, a small club in the Premier League, to win the Championship last season and the Premier League this season, rewriting many records in the Premier League and ushering in glory for Millwall."
"It's incredible. On this day last year, Millwall certainly could not have imagined that they would be able to beat the rest of the Premier League to win the title. ”
Millwall won the Premier League for the first time in their history and became the fifth team in the Premier League to win the league. Zhang Yang led the team to write a new history, and he can't be praised enough at this moment......"
As Mike Johnson spoke, the camera on the big screen pointed to Zhang Yang, and he was surrounded by a group of players, who rushed over to hug him, shouting all around.
Quite a few players laughed and shed tears.
Turning to the spectator stands, many Millwall fans were shouting loudly at the top of their voices, their faces flushed with excitement, and many of them had tears in their eyes.
It wasn't sadness, it was joy.
Millwall have nothing to remember, they have never been a strong team in their history and the fans couldn't be too excited to set a new club record.
Mike Johnson concluded, "This is a moment of joy! Let's congratulate Millwall once again for becoming the new champions! ”
