While Millwall was preparing for the game, the British media had already begun to promote the game.

The battle for the top of the league, the battle between the north and the south of English football, such a meaningful game, must be indispensable to a war of words.

As early as after the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the media of the two sides launched a full-scale confrontation, and the media from other regions must have joined in, constantly analyzing and judging the game.

This season is an important time for Manchester United's 'resurgence', with the Reds' squad re-stabilizing after several successive months of slump, with Millwall becoming a major obstacle to the Reds' rise to the top of the league title.

The media in the north of England very much hope that Manchester United can re-emerge to counter the pressure from the south.

The media that support Manchester United have a lot to say, they talk about Manchester United's historical results, which is nothing to say, Manchester United is a giant in England and one of the top giants in Europe; They also speak of Manchester United's results since January, which have been on a winning streak since the start of the new year, the best of the 20 teams in the Premier League, and have also caught up with a four-point gap in the Premier League.

The pro-Millwall media also had something to say.

Millwall's advantage lies in the overall results, they are at the top of the league table, four points more than Manchester United, in addition, from last season to the present, in the three league meetings between the two teams, Millwall have won two and drawn one, maintaining an overwhelming advantage, coupled with the advantage of 'sitting at home', Millwall supports the media, but does not think Manchester United have a chance to win at Neil Stadium.

The media on both sides had something to say, and they were able to say some truth, and a debate about the game began.

Many neutral media outlets have joined in.

Media coverage is not just about analysis, but also about special interviews, with many reporters going deep into interviews with Manchester United fans and players, and publishing reports that 'Manchester United is full of confidence'.

This is not an exaggeration.

To say that last season, Manchester United did not have a good chance to join the league title race, and there is not much confidence to speak of.

This season is different.

From January to now, Manchester United have been winning all of them, so to speak, sweeping the Premier League, and with such a strong result, it naturally brings great confidence to the fans.

The Manchester United players are also very confident that they are not under pressure in the Champions League and are fully committed to the league competition, even if it is an away challenge, they believe the team can win.

Manchester Sport, Manchester United's supporter, said, "Manchester United is a traditional giant, and the more you get to the end of the league, the more consistent your performance will be. Millwall's results are also good, but they are not giants in Shining, they do not have a stable mentality, and they will not play consistently. ”

'Admittedly, Millwall's results have been very good so far, but it's still unclear whether they will be able to sustain it until the end of the season.

"Manchester United has a strong fighting spirit, the strength and belief to win, so Manchester United will definitely beat Millwall in this game and will definitely win the final victory!"

The London press immediately fired back.

"Sunday Mirror News" said, "Historical honor, confidence, giants, etc., the development of football has long proved that the above points are meaningless, Millwall, who led the team, and Manchester United have not tasted defeat, no matter what the situation is considered, Manchester United is unlikely to win at Neil Stadium, maybe they can draw, it is quite remarkable!" ”

"There are some media reports that are only based on historical accolades and imagination, but after all, it is just to think that if there is a winner in the game, it will be the home team Millwall!"

In such an environment of public opinion, neither team can stand alone.

Zhang Yang doesn't want to see the outside world affect the team, but it's impossible not to give interviews.

The London media outside were all shouting for Millwall, doing their best to criticize the media in the north who supported Manchester United, but Millwall did not stand up and speak.

At that time, the 'morale' of the media will plummet.

In the next big war, how many media outlets will stand up for Millwall?

This kind of thing must not be done.

Zhang Yang took the initiative to stand up and openly accepted an interview with reporters, and he was arrogant about the game for a rare time, "I played against him (Ferguson), and when I haven't lost yet, I haven't done it before, and I won't do it now." ”

"We're ready. When the game is over, the Manchester United people should shut up, because when the time comes, United will have to accept the fact that they are in second place! ”

Then Zhang Yang said something that made the reporter cry and laugh, "I remember saying that our goal is to finish in the top four, yes, and it is the same now, but only if it is higher than Manchester United's ranking." ”

"That's what we can accept!"

The flamboyant remarks immediately drew a rebuttal from Manchester United supporters, with a number of United players standing up.

Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand expressed confidence in his team: "Millwall's results are good, but we're not bad either. I believe there is no better form than us at the moment, and I think the team will win tomorrow's game! ”

Manchester United's current 'number one star' C-Ronaldo also came out and said, "Millwall is our biggest rival, all we need to do is play seriously and win them." There is no point in saying more, I believe we will be the victorious side. ”

Wayne Rooney also said, "Our goal is to win the title and before we can win it, we have to beat Millwall, and I believe it's nothing for us. ”

South Korean winger Park Ji-sung said, "I will do my best to help the team beat the opponent!" ”

Manchester United's big players Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs also stood up and said, "I believe that the final victory belongs to Manchester United, and this season's league championship will also belong to Manchester United." Why, you ask? Because we are Manchester United, we have the blood of the Red Devils in our veins! ”

“……”

One by one, Manchester United players stood up, as if they held a pledge meeting, everyone said that they would win, everyone said faith, and even the words "blood of the Red Devils" and "Manchester United spirit" were expressed one by one.

Zhang Yang was sorry that he didn't understand the idea of 'Manchester United', and asked the reporter a little strangely, "Could it be that the 'Red Devil blood' is similar to encountering the 'Saiyan blood', which can give people a combat power bonus when they are in a near-death state?" ”

The journalist was blinded.

Several reporters around didn't understand what Zhang Yang said about falling to the ground, or a Chinese reporter in the distance, who laughed directly when he heard this.

British probably don't know that a Japanese anime that was popular in China in the nineties tells the story of Goku breaking the universe.

The Saiyan bloodline is too strong!

'Red Devil Blood' vs. 'Saiyan Blood', all right...... Is this anything comparable?

The next morning, Ferguson said, "Millwall have always been an incomprehensible team, but the more games they play, the better the opponents will know about them." They relied on an unfamiliar style of play and won a lot of games, and this experience is not sustainable. ”

'Their style of play is very good, anyone has to admit it, but after this game, I'm sure he'll learn that always playing with one style doesn't work. Football needs to be flexible, and the profession of a manager also needs to have something new all the time. ”

"This is my advice to him!"

Ferguson said with confidence.

If you don't know why, I think I'm mentioning juniors, but after careful analysis, Ferguson knows that what Ferguson said is, "We have figured out Millwall's style of play and have also made targeted preparations." Millwall still play the same way, it's useless. ”

Ferguson's words gave Manchester United supporters a lot of confidence, and then the northern media came out and made another verbal attack on Millwall.

This is the last time.

With the game going on that day, United spent most of the morning and noon on the road, so it was impossible to find time for an interview.

Millwall is also training for the game.

Home advantage has the advantage of being able to warm up easily when the opponent is on the road and wait for the opponent to arrive.

Zhang Yang did not let any players come forward, and the coaches, press officers and other club staff spoke to the outside world, while the players focused on training.

There is so little training time that there is no room for waste at all.

————

At four o'clock in the afternoon, fans began to appear in the audience seats of Neil Stadium.

Manchester United's buses entered the stadium.

Zhang Yang appeared at the press conference one step ahead of time, and expressed confidence for the last time, "This is the best opportunity to continue to open the gap!" My players and I believe that we can beat our opponents! ”

When the sonorous words ended, many media reporters discovered one thing--

Zhang Yang is really a changeable coach!

When expressing modesty, he is really modest, as if he is an ordinary white-collar worker in the city, humbly introducing his work in the face of interviews.

Now Zhang Yang is expressing confidence, and his whole face is full of determination, and that kind of demeanor seems to be contagious to others, making people unconsciously believe that he and his players will be able to do it.

Not only the media support and neutral media in Millwall, but even the media reporters in the north who support Manchester United have a moment of certainty: Millwall can really win!

Immediately after that, it dawned on them that they had been affected!

When Zhang Yang left the press conference, there was still an uproar among the reporters in the venue, and many people were discussing the sonorous and powerful speech just now, which was really infectious--

A reporter couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe it's more suitable for him to be a speaker!" ”

"If he goes to the election, he will definitely become a big man!"

"Is he really only in his twenties? I just thought I was facing the mayor, or some other big guy! ”

"Maybe he should go into politics, I will choose to trust him. It's a pity that he's a manager and continues to beat Manchester United? Are you kidding! ”
