Chapter 257: I Respect Sir Alex Ferguson

Who is Darren Bent?

When Darren Bent's name is mentioned before the game, not to mention the many Manchester United fans, half of the Manchester United players don't know that they don't care who the striker of a small club is, and when the media talks about Millwall's striker, they will only mention one name - Braniff.

The young Northern Ireland striker has helped Millwall to eight goals in the last 12 rounds.

That number pushed Branifer into the top three of the Premier League's top scorers, just behind Arsenal's Thierry Henry, and even more surprisingly, he wasn't Millwall's number one striker, with just eight starts.

Eight games, eight goals!

With such gorgeous statistics, he can definitely be called a top striker.

The British media are also not stingy with the praise of Braniff, but unfortunately, he is a Northern Ireland player who can only play for the Northern Ireland national team, and has nothing to do with the England team, otherwise England coach Eriksen will consider calling him up for the national team.

Darren Bent is a bit of a bit of a shadowy.

So far, Darren Bent has scored four goals in seven league appearances for Millwall, twice as many goals as Braniff and a lot less efficient than full-back Josh Simpson.

Simpson made 10 league appearances for Millwall, scoring six goals and was Millwall's 'second goalscorer'.

Braniff and Josh Simpson are too bright, which makes Darren Bent a little obscure, in fact, four goals in seven games are attractive enough, but unfortunately the performance of teammates is better, the media can't tout every Millwall player, Darren Bent is a bit ignored.

The most reported time for Darren Bent since the start of the league has been after Millwall's game against Arsenal, where he scored a goal that seemed like nothing, but not everyone can get past the Arsenal goal.

After that, there was no more.

In recent times, Darren Bent has only scored against Manchester City last month, a game in which Millwall was drawn, and the centre of media reports after the game was that Millwall's 'draw with Manchester City represented a slip in results' and Darren Bent's goal was ignored.

So most people don't know about Darren Bent, and even many media outlets are not optimistic about him.

At the beginning of the game, there were media commentators who wondered, "Why don't you start Braniff?" "They think Branifer is playing better than Darren Bent, and it's natural that a game like this will make for better players.

Frank thinking is different.

Zhang Yang knows Braniff and Darren Bent very well, and the calculation data of 'Word Divination' proves that the strength of the two is comparable.

The reason why Braniff scored more goals was just good luck, and many things can't be attributed to luck, but Braniff was indeed lucky, and his first few games were against weak teams, such as against Sunderland, the team won by seven goals, and Braniff scored a hat-trick.

A hat-trick alone resulted in three goals, plus one more than Darren Bent, and the duo couldn't have scored much worse.

The strength of the two is equal, but their abilities are different.

Branifer's ability is a bit more comprehensive, whether it is individual skills, coordination, the big picture, including heading, shooting, and even defense, he can do everything well.

Darren Bent is different, his speed, bounce, dribbling, etc. are more prominent, and others such as defense and coordination are worse.

To sum up, Braniff is a well-rounded player; Darren Bent is a player with technical characteristics.

Zhang Yang chose Darren Bent to play because Darren Bent is faster and more one-on-one, and in the game against Manchester United, the coordination up front is not so important, because Millwall will not go head-to-head with Manchester United, and the individual performance of the striker becomes very important.

Darren Bent can do better in this regard.

The goal just now proved that the decision to put Darren Bent on the field was the right one, and if it had been Branifer, it would not have been possible to squeeze Sylvester away.

Zhang Yang did not use 'words and words', Darren Bent scored the ball completely by virtue of his strength, and Zhang Yang was very satisfied with this performance, "If you play against a strong team, you don't even need to use the 'supernatural ability' to score goals, it's really good." ”

Darren Bent relied on his own ability to score the ball, which is equivalent to helping Zhang Yang leave the hole cards used by his 'supernatural ability' ability to deal with possible crises at any time.

Millwall was celebrating the goal with excitement, the cheers from the crowd rang through the sky, and Mike Johnson kept saying the goal, "The Simpson showed extraordinary speed!" He also shook Brown! ”

"Smitchell's pick pass is also beautiful!"

"Darren Bent squeezed away Silvestre and the Millwall players were not at all at a disadvantage in the battle with Manchester United!"

"Manchester United kept attacking, but in the end it was Millwall who scored first!"

“……”

A lot of people were talking about the goalscoring process, and the players on the field also gathered around Darren Bent and talked excitedly about the goal.

It was a goal against Manchester United!

Before the start of the game, many players thought that the team was about to usher in the first defeat, but they did not expect that before the end of the half, they took the lead of the opponent.

Everyone was excited.

On the Millwall bench, there was one particular guy who wasn't excited, and that was Darren Bent's biggest rival - Braniff.

Braniff sat next to Wise, and to Wise's right was Zhang Yang.

Braniff was also a little happy when he saw Darren Bent score a goal and every teammate celebrated excitedly, but he couldn't be happy when he thought that it was Darren Bent who scored the goal, and the corners of his mouth pursed made anyone understand that he was not in a very happy mood.

Zhang Yang noticed Braniff, he was a little happy, no matter which position, it is always good to have competition, let Braniff and Darren Bent compete, both will cherish the opportunity to play, and the performance will get better and better.

That's healthy competition within the team.

However, Braniff's 'child' personality also needs to be taken care of, and when he returned to his seat after the celebration, Zhang Yang coughed lightly, turned his head past Wise and said, "Kevin! If you had played, I believe you would have been able to score the ball! ”

This sentence sounded inexplicable to Wise.

Braniff suddenly became energetic, and he said excitedly, "Of course! If I had played and I had scored more than one, it would have been 2-0 by now! ”

“……”

Wise was completely confused.

Zhang Yang nodded in approval, "You can definitely do well." ”

Braniff asked, "Boss, when are you going to send me up?" ”

"There's no need to rush." Zhang Yang was silent for a moment, organized his words, and said with some shame, "You are our secret weapon, how can there be a secret weapon in a hurry?" The secret weapon is used in key moments, and now that we are leading the goal, Bent is enough to be on the pitch alone! ”

Braniff nodded frequently, and suddenly became elated.

Wise's eyes widened, he glanced at Zhang Yang, and then at the excited Braniff, feeling as if his IQ had been insulted.

When the game resumed, Wise pondered the scene and realized that Zhang Yang was comforting Braniff.

I see!

"It's no wonder that Zhang Yang is the head coach and the results have become so good. There should be a different way to treat each player, and a guy like this childish temper should be encouraged...... I see! ”

Wise felt like he had learned another trick and knew more about Braniff.

This guy ...... IQ arrears!

————

In Wise's mindset of discovering a new world, the game on the field is intense.

Unwilling to fall behind, United regrouped and went on a frenzied attack on Millwall's half, wave after wave of attacks.

The Millwall Line was shaky.

At this point in the game, it was a bit of a forgetfulness of Millwall's lead, and everyone at Millwall was worried about the goal.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half.

Manchester United's continuous attack, only a little more than five minutes into the game, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, which made United very unwilling, and Millwall exhaled a long breath.

In just five minutes, Millwall's defence was on the verge of being crushed.

The Reds were not just aggressive, they were also threatening, as evidenced by four shots in five minutes, two of which hit the woodwork and one of which was an immediate threat, but Hislop was consistent enough to save the ball off the line and defuse a major crisis.

Zhang Yang also took a long breath.

With the ability of 'foresight', he can judge that Manchester United did not score, but the real game scene, unlike the image in his mind, the goal seems to be in danger at any time, and he is a little worried about the inaccuracy of the judgment halfway, but fortunately it did not happen.

Millwall escaped!

If it weren't for the end of the first half, it would have been possible for United to break the net like this, no one can say for sure how long the Millwall defence will last, and all United lack is a bit of luck.

But there is no 'if' in football and in the end United did not score.

With 15 minutes of adjustment, Millwall's mentality was a bit calmer to get the better out of the second half, while he also had to use the time to be more targeted.

Zhang Yang stood up and walked towards the locker room.

Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson was also walking back, his expression was a little gloomy compared to his flamboyant flat face, and he was clearly dissatisfied with the score.

Zhang Yang turned his head to see Ferguson, and at the same time, Ferguson also looked over.

The two looked at each other.

Zhang Yang noticed that there was a reporter a few meters away, so he planned to turn his head and leave directly, but he didn't expect Ferguson to suddenly smile and say, "Young man, are you interested in coming to Manchester United?" Maybe you can take my place in the future. ”

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You mean, you're going to retire next year?" ”

"Humph!"

Ferguson let out a dissatisfied voice, immediately recovered his expression and turned to leave, Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders to the reporter's camera, made a helpless expression, and added, "I respect Sir Alex Ferguson, but he really has no grace!" ”
