Chapter 178: First Aid!

"There is only one final round left in the Championship, and Sunderland, who are first in the league, and Millwall, who are second in the league, have the same number of points, but Sunderland have eleven more goals than Millwall, and the goal difference ratio is overwhelming."

'Millwall can't beat Sunderland on goal difference, as long as Sunderland win the last round of the league and they will win the Championship!'

"Considering Sunderland's opponents are Nottingham Forest, who have already confirmed relegation, they may be able to celebrate the title early!"

"However, Millwall can be second in the league and lock up a promotion place in the first round is enough to be proud of, Millwall were not the favourites for promotion before the season, they fell to 17th place in the middle of the season, the young coach from China Zhang Yang, led Millwall to play a brilliant second half, it is a miracle to be able to complete the promotion......

“……”

In the media reports, the format can be almost understood, and the key in the final round is not Millwall's game, but whether Sunderland can beat Nottingham Forest, as long as they can win, Millwall will not have anything at all.

Nottingham Forest have confirmed relegation.

What chance can a team that is certain for relegation, has no fighting spirit at all, and is playing away from home?

That's what everyone sees, and it's the same in Millwall, even Zhang Yang is helpless, he has a way to lead the team to win, but he can't make his rivals lose.

That's really something that only gods can do.

However, before the start of the final round, Zhang Yang still reminded all players to seize the opportunity, "We don't care what the league format is, and it doesn't matter whether Sunderland will beat Nottingham Forest, if we want to compete for the league title, we must win first." ”

"If we don't win and Sunderland lose, that's the biggest regret!"

"You don't want to leave this regret, do you?"

'So we've got to win the game and do what we're supposed to do.'

"After this round, the whole season is over, and I hope the team can have a winning finish, do you understand?"

The players agreed with what Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang didn't say any big truths, nor did he talk about ideals or anything like that, he just told the truth, hoping that everyone could defeat their opponents and strive for the last chance.

It's the words that make people feel real.

A season is coming to an end, and looking back on it is like a dream, the depression of the first half of the schedule and the passion of the second half of the schedule are combined to make people feel very memorable.

This will be an important memory for everyone in the team.

Then this important memory should have a victorious ending, which is the most beautiful.

Just like some movies, the protagonist always has to work hard to the end, even if he fails, he doesn't give up his dream, and if he reaches the last step, he stops because he sees no hope, which will become the biggest regret.

Almost all the media were focused on Sunderland's game ahead of the game as they beat Nottingham Forest to claim the title.

Millwall's game went unnoticed.

Millwall's opponents are Burnley, a team in the 14th place in the league, and the two sides are really hard to notice, and everyone thinks the game doesn't matter.

It doesn't make sense to Millwall, it doesn't make sense to Burnley.

The FA are also keeping an eye on Sunderland's game, taking the trophy to the Stadium of Light and waiting for Sunderland to win the game and present it to them.

The incident caused displeasure in Millwall FC.

However, considering that Sunderland's hope of winning the championship is too great, Millwall Club did not say anything, but Zhang Yang is very dissatisfied, Millwall also has hope of winning the championship, although the hope is very small, but it also exists, you can't completely ignore it because the hope is small, right?

At the pre-match press conference, Zhang Yang lashed out at the FA over the incident, "I don't understand what they think! Bringing the trophy to the Stadium of Light? What happens if Sunderland loses? Will they take the trophy to Neil Stadium again? When the time comes, I will not attend the award ceremony because the trophy has become someone else's leftovers. ”

'The FA should treat every team fairly and yes, we don't have a chance, but what if we win the title?

The flamboyant rhetorical question was unanimously pouted by the media.

Millwall has a chance?

No kidding!

However, they understood Zhang Yang's mood and felt that what he said was reasonable, the final round of the league has not yet ended, Sunderland has not confirmed the title, and the FA is not the right way to bring the trophy to the Stadium of Light with the mentality of saving work.

Of course, after Sunderland won the title, probably no one would say anything.

————

Soon the game at Neil Field began.

Millwall have a good fighting spirit and the players go into the game with a 'season to a winning end' mentality.

Burnley is the opposite.

Burnley's season can be described as uneventful, with their best result being 10th in the league and their worst falling to 15th in the league, they are the kind of pure 'mid-table team' with no promotion prospects and no risk of relegation.

In such an uneventful season, it doesn't matter if the last game is won or lost.

That's what the Burnley players think, and the game is being played at Neil Stadium, so it's easy to imagine how they performed.

In the seventeenth minute, Braniff set up Millwall to find the back of the net for Burnley.

In the 36th minute, David Livermore opened up the gap with a powerful shot.

2 to 0.

This is the score of the first half.

When it came time to break, the Millwall players were not interested in their own game, but began to care about the Sunderland game.

In the home team's dressing room.

A TV screen on the wall shows the match between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest.

The two teams met 10 minutes before Millwall's game, and the second half was now about to begin, with the score 1-0 at Sunderland leading Nottingham Forest at home.

The score was disappointing.

Millwall players want to see Nottingham Forest take the lead, or a draw is fine, but there is also hope, and Sunderland's home lead is the most disadvantageous.

Zhang Yang explained the way he played in the second half, and also opened the tablet to watch the game between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest, and he relied on his 'prediction' ability to notice that Nottingham Forest was about to score a second goal.

"-damn it!"

Zhang Yang scolded angrily, and suddenly became a little anxious, if Sunderland scored the second goal, Nottingham Forest would have no chance.

That's not going to work!

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, opened his mobile phone like a 'rescue', and found the phone number of Nottingham Forest coach Hart.

It's not polite to call during the game, but it's okay to send text messages, Zhang Yang thinks he can give first aid, Hart is the manager of the Championship team, there are few managers who have a good relationship with him, if the other party sees it, follow his advice and still have a chance.

Otherwise...... It can only be second in the league!

So Zhang Yang sent a text message, "Mr. Hart! I think you should pay attention to the defense on the left flank and don't let the opposition cross easily......

The text message is sent out.

Then it's up to fate.
