Chapter 118 - Individual Thematic Conferences

Millwall played well overall.

In terms of strength, Millwall is much stronger than Gillingham, even in an away game, Millwall suppressed the opponent in the first minute, and the front court also looked for opportunities again and again.

But whether to score or not is determined by many factors.

Millwall have always had the advantage and the team as a whole has been doing well, at least it seems, but there have been no goals, let alone goals, even threatening shots on goal, and every attack seems to be a bit anticlimactic.

Zhang Yang frowned when he looked at it, and he found that he couldn't understand the game a little.

If you don't understand, just ask!

Zhang Yang has always adhered to this principle, because he has positioned himself as a rookie who has just entered the coaching industry, so he asked Aldous, "What do you think of the game?" Why is it so hard to find an opportunity in our offense? It's been several times in a row! ”

Aldous frowned and thought for a moment, "Maybe it's just bad luck!" We can't always score goals and always win. I think the team is playing well! ”

Zhang Yang was stunned for a long time.

He found it a mistake to ask Aldous.

This guy is good at training the team, but he may not be as good as himself in analyzing the game, so he can only continue to look patiently.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

There was little change in the game situation on the field.

As with the pre-match verdict, Gillingham are a 'bastard' team, they don't seem to be in a hurry to score goals, they don't care if they can win, and perhaps most of the players in the team have accepted the future of 'relegation'.

Millwall has an absolute advantage.

But there are only advantages.

Want to threaten to shoot? No! Want a wonderful fit? No! Want to score a goal? Not to mention.

One and a half years passed and both teams still did not score.

At halftime, Zhang Yang praised everyone's performance and continued to cheer the team up, hoping to improve their performance in the second half.

But the situation continued in the second half.

Millwall have been in control of the situation, but have not always threatened to shoot, and to put it bluntly, the two teams seem to be facing each other for time.

Zhang Yang was a little anxious, and he began to try to use various abilities--

Say what you say!

Lucky blessings!

Plus the prediction of the effect of 'prediction'!

Under normal circumstances, the continuous use of ability can bring a goal, but things did not develop like this, even if he used his ability and affected the course of the game, but the goal still did not come.

Zhang Yang frowned.

Since the first minute of the second half, he has been having a headache for the goal, and now he has used his ability again, in the 'prediction' picture, there is still no goal, and the team's performance on the field must not be bad, the front court can still find opportunities, and there is no way to make any adjustments.

"What is the reason?"

Halfway through the second half, Zhang Yang simply began to think, and until the end of the game, he was still thinking.

Millwall drew 0-0 away at Gillingham.

The result was unexpected.

The whole Millwall team was surprised, the fans were surprised, even the media were surprised.

The media who were expecting Millwall to lose didn't have much hope for the game, Gillingham's recent results have been too poor, and it was too difficult for them to get points from Millwall, and they didn't expect Millwall to draw.

While it's not a shame to lose, the draw is enough to give the media something to say.

The competition has just ended, and some media analysts say that 'Millwall's results will decline in the future'--

"This one is proof of that!"

"Against Gillingham, who are second from bottom in the league, Millwall didn't even score a goal!"

"0 to 0! It's unexpected, but it makes sense! ”

'Millwall was doing well before, it was for a lot of reasons, and now they're back to the way they were!'

“……”

These many remarks did not affect the publicity. In the post-match press conference, he just coped with it, and his mind was always thinking about the game.

Why is there a draw?

Why didn't the team score in the game?

After returning to the club, Zhang Yang watched the video of the game in the manager's office and kept thinking.

He found the reason.

After watching the video twice, recalling the indifferent looks on the faces of many players at the end of the game, and then considering the training situation of the whole team in the days before the game, the reason is already obvious: the team seems to have no fighting spirit.

When the game was over, most of the players were not disappointed, they were still talking and laughing, and they treated the game like a job.

That's because I don't care about winning or losing!

It can also be seen in the game video that Millwall has the advantage in strength and suppresses Gillingham in the situation, but the offensive and defensive ends are not very good, the offensive end is not too active to look for opportunities, and the defensive end is just coping with the work, not fighting too fiercely.

For them, it's really a job to compete.

This problem is just too serious!

No matter what kind of sport it is, the fighting spirit of the team involved in it is very important, and often the team with fighting spirit can play better, and it is difficult for the team with no fighting spirit to do anything.

But why is that?

Zhang Yang thought about it carefully and understood.

The team lost its goal.

As the saying goes, 'pressure is motivation'.

Around Christmas, every player trained aggressively, and that's because there was relegation pressure and no one would want the team to be relegated, which meant they either left or were relegated to the first division with the team.

Now that the team has no relegation pressure, what is the point of playing hard under the worry of relegation?

Zhang Yang knows what to do!

————

The 32nd and 33rd rounds of the Championship have a week between starts, and all teams can fully prepare for the game, and many teams have taken a holiday to allow players to breathe a breath in the dense schedule.

Millwall is an exception.

Zhang Yang especially emphasized that there was no holiday, and the next day would train normally, and most of the players in the team sighed.

Many players muttered, "I guess it's because I didn't win Gillingham!" ”

"It must be so!"

"He's angry!"

"On the way back yesterday, he didn't say a word! Even though he's young, he's still a little scary when he's angry! ”

"You're actually afraid of Zhang? Ha ha! ”

"Of course, you're not afraid, but because of his decision, you still have to train now, and you can't spend time with your girlfriend on vacation!"

“……”

That's what the whole team thinks.

Aldous, Frederick and the rest of the staff responsible for first-team training thought the same.

If Zhang Yang knows, he will definitely find it very interesting, and then give a positive answer, "That's right, that's it!" ”

Isn't this nonsense?

Didn't win the game that should have been won, lost two points inexplicably, and still want to continue to have a holiday?

Dream!

Zhang Yang was full of dissatisfaction.

The next day he arrived at the training ground early and waited for everyone to arrive, Aldous came over a little strangely and asked, "So early?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded and instructed, "Wait until nine o'clock, gather everyone here." I'm talking about everyone, including all the players, Brono, and Baynes, and I've informed Ebenezer and Mr. Grigori. ”

Aldous was stunned, "What are you going to do?" ”

"You'll know."

Aldous was full of questions, and seeing that Zhang Yang didn't mean to explain, he simply did it.

When it was nine o'clock, everyone came.

The entire squad stood in a full line, with Frederick, Ebenezer and Grigori standing behind and watching, while the rest of the staff stood by.

Zhang Yang was surrounded in the middle.

It's like having a personal conference.

The atmosphere was not quiet.

Many players are still chatting, they are still complaining that there is no holiday, and they also feel very strange about the way of publicity, usually when they gather at nine o'clock, they have to go to run laps to warm up, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Is there something to say?

"What is he going to say? Could it be yesterday's game? ”

"It's normal to always win games, it's normal to draw once in a while, I think the team's performance is already good!"

"I think so too."
