Chapter 237: We're here to conquer the fans here!
Zhang Yang returned to the club that afternoon, and whenever he thought of the embarrassing scene in the morning, he didn't have the heart to go back.
"Until you find a new house, you'll be living in the club!" Zhang Yang suddenly found that he was going to face the tragedy of homelessness, so he could only live in the club, and the head coach's office was not bad, but after all, it was a place to work, and it was very depressing to live for a long time, but he could only make up for the time being.
The next day, the team resumed normal training.
After arranging training in the morning, Zhang Yang met Credrick, who had come to work for the first day, but his work had already been carried out partially.
Credrick took a report and handed it to Zhang Yang, "This is the data from the last physical examination, and I analyzed everyone's physical status based on these data, and that's all." ”
Zhang Yang took the report and flipped through it.
The first few pages are all data and analysis of various body tests, and a series of numbers make people feel a little big, but the last page is a simple judgment based on the physical condition of each player.
"Darren Ward.
Physical Condition Assessment: A.
Evaluation: All elements of the blood are active, and there is no problem with physical fitness.
Appearance risk factor: C-. ”
"Hislop.
Physical Condition Assessment: B+.
Evaluation: Age-related decline in physical fitness.
Appearance Danger Factor: C. ”
"Joey Healy.
Physical Condition Assessment: B-.
Evaluation: The reaction of various elements in the blood is flat, and there is an abnormal decline in physical fitness or fatigue.
Appearance Risk: B. ”
"Darren Bent.
Rating: ......"
“……”
Looking at the line after row of forms, Zhang Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, what he needed was this kind of data support, and Credrick probably understood what he meant, and typed such a very valuable thing.
"Very good, I will do a physical test every week in the future."
Zhang Yang couldn't help but admire, professional terms and the like, he didn't understand it at all, as long as there was a final conclusion, it was enough, he could completely adjust the player's playing time according to the content of the form, so that the main players could get rotation rest, and reduce the possibility of injuries caused by physical decline.
"By the way, there are a couple of people to be aware of." Jedric pointed to the form and named a few names, "This one, Wayne Morgan, his blood data shows that the physical fatigue is already high and there is likely to be a problem with long plays. ”
"This player is also ......"
Zhang Yang looked at the name that Credrick was referring to, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, "I don't need you to say it, Jody was already injured in the last game." ”
"Really?"
Zhang Yang sighed, "It seems that he still plays too much." Later, I couldn't help but add, "If only you could come earlier." ”
"Maybe." "But you can't trust all the data, it's just analysis on paper, and it's not necessarily completely accurate." ”
Zhang Yang looked at Credrick and said seriously, "By the way, today is your first day of work, you should get to know the team, go to the training ground with me in a while, and I'll introduce you to ......."
"No need. I'm just an individual strength and conditioning coach, so the next step should be to make a physical training plan, right? I need data on each player's playing time in the past, as well as what they've been training with in the last few years, and I need very specific data......"
Credrick talks about his demands professionally.
Zhang Yang felt a little helpless, this may be a genius, he doesn't take interpersonal communication to heart at all, and only devotes himself to work.
Such people are not easy to communicate!
Zhang Yang left Credrick alone, and he went to the training ground, found Aldous, and helped communicate with Credrick.
Judging from the table just now, Credric's work ability is quite good, and he can give himself a lot of help, it doesn't matter if he is worse than communicating, interpersonal communication is not necessary, as long as he has the ability, it is enough.
Over the next two days, the team's training began according to Chowderick's requirements: each player was trained in a quantitative manner so that it did not affect their physical condition so that they could perform at their full level during the game.
Zhang Yang also had to 'cut' Simpson's training content.
Josh Simpson is one of those who is classified as a 'tired player', and his appearance risk rating is B+, which is already extremely dangerous.
This is not surprising.
Simpson is not yet nineteen years old, his body has not developed to his peak, too much training and continuous full play, the physical energy is consumed very quickly, and the body has been in a state of exhaustion.
It's good to play eighty percent of your strength in this state.
If he continues, Simpson may be injured in training, and Zhang Yang can only cut his training content and tell him to pay more attention to rest.
This delights David Livermore.
Livermore always felt that Simpson was going to lead his sister Irina, and whenever it was a holiday, Irina asked to come with him, just to see Simpson, and Simpson didn't have to train together, Irina couldn't see Simpson, and the relationship between the two might be forced to stop.
He's a bit whimsical.
With the development of information and communication technology, mobile phones have become widely available, and young men and women know each other's phone numbers, and meeting is no longer a problem.
While Millwall was making more scientific and effective training intensity adjustments, Zhang Yang was also trying to familiarize the team with the style of play without Morris.
Zhang Yang gave Smitchell a revised tactical plan.
The content of it has changed from the previous one, after all, the previous one was formulated based on Jody Morris's ability, and Smitchell could adapt to it, but it suppressed his individual performance.
This one is specially prepared for Smitchell.
This work may sound easy, but in fact, it still takes a lot of time to deduce it with the ability of 'speech and spirit measurement', and it seems that the tactical plan in only a few places has been modified, and it took half a night and a morning to complete.
Zhang Yang and seriously told him to remember every content, and then Millwall's tactical training also revolved around Smitchell.
Zhang Yang originally thought that some old players would be resistant, after all, Smitchell was to become Morris's replacement and occupy the core position of the midfield in the team, but in fact, he really thought a little too much, there was almost no player resistance, and everyone adapted normally.
It's not surprising when you think about it.
If someone else is parachuted in to replace Morris as the core of the midfield, it will really cause resistance from many players, Morris is not only a midfield core in the team, but also the spiritual leader of the whole team, and every teammate is very convinced of him.
Smitchell is different.
Smitchell is much more famous than Morris and is also an experienced veteran, and in the eyes of many players, Smitchell replaced Morris as the centerpiece, even 'normal'.
Although Smitchell is a new player, his name has long been known.
That's the benefit of being famous.
In the midst of Millwall's intense training and preparation, the Premier League soon ushered in the seventh round, and this round Millwall will go away to challenge fellow promoted Sunderland.
Millwall is familiar with Sunderland.
The two teams were rivals at the end of last season's league campaign, and it wasn't until the final round of Sunderland's tragic defeat to Nottingham Forest that Millwall won the Championship.
Now the two teams are coming together.
Compared to Millwall's good results, Sunderland is a tragedy, they are the one who entered the Premier League to 'find experience', the league has been played six rounds, Sunderland lost the first five rounds, lost to Charlton Athletic, Liverpool, Manchester City, Wigan Athletic and Middlesbrough, until the last round drew with West Bromwich Albion and achieved the first league points.
This kind of result has put Sunderland coach McCarthy under pressure, and the media has continued to report that McCarthy said, "We must work hard!" ”
"We're going to try to win the next one!"
"The first win is just around the corner, we need to go for it!"
"We have a bad schedule, but I'm sure the team will adapt quickly! Now we are bottom of the league and soon we will be able to move up the table......"
“……”
McCarthy has assured him time and time again, and Sunderland has lost again and again.
This made the media laugh.
"Newcastle News" also made a "McCarthy quote" report, summing up the entertainment of fans, "McCarthy always says his team can win!" At the start of the season, he stressed that the results would not be worse than the other two promoted teams, but only now they have picked up a measly point. ”
'It wouldn't be surprising if Sunderland set the record for the lowest number of points in the Premier League at the end of the season. Because their head coach is McCarthy, and he has a big name with the football king Pele! ”
(Every time Pele predicts a match, the result is the opposite.) )
Before the start of the seventh round of the Premier League, the media commented on the games, and also talked about Sunderland's home game against Millwall, and the "Newcastle News" commented on the joke, "What will McCarthy say this time?" ”
Many people are looking forward to it.
Other media have also expressed their opinions, Millwall has a rare time to get all the support, even Sunderland's support media, have turned around to support Millwall, "Even if it is the Stadium of Light, it is difficult for Sunderland to win, Millwall and Sunderland are both promoted horses, but the results of the two teams are very different." ”
In the face of the match against Sunderland, Zhang Yang also prepared very seriously.
This one must be won.
Millwall had just beaten Arsenal, and it would have been a joke if they had been left in the 'last place in the league', both teams were promoted and there was a bit of sympathy in the early stages of the league, but Zhang Yang did not consider showing mercy to his subordinates.
Then let the team find more confidence!

Sunderland boss Mick McCarthy is a former Ireland international who has earned him the nickname 'The Beast' during his overly aggressive defending career as a professional, and he has a bit of a bond with Millwall.
McCarthy began his coaching career in 1992 as a player-coach as head coach at Millwall, and in his first season with the team, he continued to compete as a registered player, but only made one appearance for the team before becoming a full-time head coach.
McCarthy's team at Millwall had a decent run.
In just the following season, McCarthy led the team to the promotion play-offs as third in the league, but Millwall were eliminated in the semi-finals against Derby.
In the 1995-1996 season, Jack Charlton left and McCarthy became a popular candidate for the Irish national team manager, and in February 1996, McCarthy was officially appointed as the head coach of the Irish national team. Two days earlier, he had been sacked as head coach by Millwall, who were 14 points above the relegation zone when he left, but after McCarthy left, Millwall quickly fell and were eventually relegated at the end of the season due to the difference in goals.
McCarthy went on to a successful spell for the Irish national team, leading them to the 2002 World Cup, where they emerged from the group stage and reached the round of 16.
This is unthinkable for the Irish team.
McCarthy quickly rose to fame and was offered the opportunity to take charge of Sunderland, who were still in the Premier League at the time.
Subsequently...... McCarthy follows Sunderland in relegation.
It wasn't until last season that Sunderland finished second in the league and McCarthy led Sunderland to the Premier League.
Looking at McCarthy's resume, it can be found that his coaching career is definitely not brilliant, the only thing worth mentioning is that he led Ireland to the round of 16 of the World Cup, but considering that Ireland has Robbie Keane at his peak as the core, it is actually nothing to enter the round of 16 of the World Cup, and more people do not recognize McCarthy's ability to lead the team, because he has no experience in leading the team in the top league.
Now, McCarthy has.
Sunderland's loss of five games in six rounds is his answer, and many media and fans are not optimistic about him.
Zhang Yang is also the first time to lead the team to participate in the Premier League, he is even the first time to lead the team to start from the new season, he is still a rookie in the coaching industry, but the impact of the championship miracle in the half of the championship is not small, and the five wins and one draw in the six rounds of the new season are enough for him to gain enough trust.
When the two went head-to-head, the media was unanimously optimistic about Zhang Yang.
McCarthy is not willing to lose to a young Chinese in his early twenties, he can also be regarded as an old qualification in more than a dozen years of coaching career, last season's championship was taken by Millwall, which has made him quite humiliated, rare positive opportunities, and he also hopes that the team can beat Millwall.
"It's a must-win game! We need to find confidence in the game! A lot of people say Millwall is hard to play against and I've read the reports but I know Millwall better than you do, and don't forget, we played them twice last season and we won both times! ”
This is the only confidence McCarthy can find.
Zhang Yang just smiled disdainfully when he heard the reporter talk about this, "I emphasize again, Millwall's goal is relegation!" But...... If we lose a team like Sunderland, we may not even be able to finish relegation! ”
"So our goal is to crush them! Yes, a frontal defeat, not a defeat! I'm sure you get the idea! ”
"This is the Stadium of Light? That's right! That's where we come! Winning is not the goal, we are just trying to win over the fans! ”
