Hart is the manager of Nottingham Forest and an experienced veteran.

Coaching a team is his job, analyzing the game is the ability required for the job, and his vision of seeing the game and seeing the performance of a team is naturally much ahead of other amateurs.

The media is the 'amateur' sphere.

After Joey Healy's goal, most of the reaction of the reporters in the media gallery was 'disappointment', for the media, Millwall was the focus, and some time ago, their results were so good that there was nothing to report.

Perhaps, they can praise the young Chinese coach.

But most of the media won't do this, they don't have any racist intentions, because nationality is far less important than age, and they are worried about one thing: what if this young Chinese is just lucky?

He's so young!

Twenty-two years old, players of this age, have not yet passed the 'rookie period', there are many young players at the age of twenty-two, they are still playing in the amateur league in the youth teams of various clubs, and they are still in the stage of progress and development, and only those days can they play.

Not to mention the coaching industry!

Is there a twenty-two year old football coach?

At this age, I have obtained a coaching certificate, and I can only lead children to play football part-time, and it is very incredible to be a professional league manager.

Anyway, most people don't believe that Zhang Yang has any level.

In a word, too young!

This can cover everything, so Millwall's victory, it's difficult for them to do any reporting, to criticize Nottingham Forest's news that no one reads at all, maybe you can analyze the reasons for Millwall's victory?

Right!

Exclude the head coach factor!

So the reporters began to ponder Millwall.

When the time came to half-time, they discovered Millwall's new formation in hindsight: in fact, someone found out at the beginning of the game, but most of them didn't take it seriously at all, and now they remembered that Millwall only had one striker.

4231？

This is indeed a new formation!

For several seasons, Millwall have insisted on using the 442 formation, and there has never been a change, they have changed the head coach one by one, and the players in the team have come and gone, but the team's formation and tactics have hardly changed.

The reason for this is that the level is limited.

Most of the lower league teams, tactics, formations and the like are not important, that is something that only high-tech teams can play, and it is difficult to play better if you change a formation, and most of the lower league teams have adapted to the traditional 442 formation, and they also know how to play in the 442 formation, so most teams rarely change formations and tactics.

At Championship level, some teams will also use the new formation.

The most typical is Ipswich.

Ipswich Town coach Joe Royle likes to emphasize defense, he has been in charge for several seasons, and it is enough for the team to complete the replacement of the new formation, the current Ipswich is good at using the formation is 4321, the pyramid formation seems to be the main attacking center, or the wings fly together in the offensive formation, but Ipswich's 4321, in fact, has become a defensive formation of 4 defenders, 3 backs, and 2 midfielders.

Now Millwall are also using a new formation.

Judging from the performance of this game, the use of the new formation is not bad, Millwall's performance is much stronger than Nottingham Forest, they have suppressed Nottingham Forest in the situation, and the statistics also have a considerable advantage.

So the media reporters, since they put the credit on Frederick and Aldous-

"Millwall's two assistant coaches are of a good level! The new formations and tactics they adapted to the team have played a good role! ”

'That's why Millwall are doing so well – the new formation!'

"That young Chinese, maybe just a puppet, I heard that he was a 'game instructor' before, probably the team's affairs, he is only responsible for leading the team to the game!"

“……”

The media reporters had a lively conversation.

It can be heard in the various words, and they don't think that the new formation will have anything to do with Zhang Yang.

Perhaps understandable.

As Braniff said publicly, "He doesn't understand anything, he doesn't know anything." We were trained by Frederick and Aldous, he just led the team! ”

The opinions of media reporters could not affect the fans for a while.

Fans are fans.

Fans just want the team to play better and win more games, and most people don't care who is behind the team's victory.

During the break, Millwall fans were very excited about the team's performance, and they reflected on the team's performance before Christmas, and the team's performance until now, as well as victory after victory, and some fans said confidently, "It's only 1-0, but I'm sure we're going to win!" ”

"Yes! We haven't lost in seven games! ”

"This one will be a victory too!"

"Since Zhang Yang came to the team, the team has been doing well! It doesn't matter if he has the level or not, and how old he is, but if he can bring victory, it is the best! ”

"I think so too."

“……”

From the talk of the fans, you can see the difference between the fans and the media.

Fans only care about results, only care about victory, as long as the results are good, can lead the team to win, is it luck or level, there is no difference at all, a level can not lead the team to win, a head coach who has the level can not lead the team to win, will definitely not get the support of the fans.

On the contrary, you can get a lot of support.

Zhang Yang has struggled to gain the support of most of the media, but he has been recognized by most Millwall fans.

After a half-time of play, the confidence of the Millwall players also increased.

At half-time, Millwall's dressing room was full of light-heartedness, everyone was talking about the first half, and often at half-time, the players wanted to get a break and breathe a little relief in the middle of a tense game, so they rarely talked about the game again.

But this one is different.

Millwall used a new formation for the first time.

Although Zhang Yang is confident in the new formation, others are different, and they are not clear about how effective the new formation will be.

The whole team was worried.

After a half, the players found that they were playing well and were able to keep their opponents at bay, so they were full of confidence in the game.

"I think the team is playing better!"

"This one is easier than the last one, and the new formation works very well!"

"David is the key! He helped attract a lot of attention, especially those two shots! Just think about it, I'm starting to sympathize with Nottingham Forest! Joey Healy's funny remarks made many teammates laugh along.

The second half began.

From the first minute, Nottingham Forest pressed heavily and used the constant push to fight for an equaliser. Head coach Hart used two substitutions in the 47th and 61st minutes, and the substitutions were all attacking frontfielders in order to increase Nottingham Forest's attacking quality.

This is a choice for which there is no choice.

At City Square, 1-0 down to Millwall, Nottingham Forest will have to take the initiative if they want to fight for points.

But in the end, Nottingham Forest still didn't score.

This kind of overall offensive suppression, but has a certain effect, at least Millwall is difficult to play the advantage of the situation, but also proves that Nottingham Forest's style of play has a certain merit, with a full-court tight defense can indeed make Sohu a little confused, especially at the beginning of the second half Millwall wants to play counterattack is very difficult, because the team has to focus most of the energy on defense, in order to ensure the stability of the goal.

Nottingham Forest's defence was flawless, but they made up for it with constant attack.

They seem to be using the game to explain that the attack is the best backhand.

But Millwall have a goal advantage, they are not in a hurry to score, the players on the pitch are not in a hurry at all, they are just solid at the back to defend.

Nottingham Forest are in a hurry.

They had to launch successive offensives, one offensive after another, so that they had no time to estimate the defense.

There is an old saying, "one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion", no matter what, they can't attack for dozens of minutes in a row, and the continuous offensive but no goal is broken, which means that there will be a rhythm adjustment.

With the 70th minute played, Nottingham Forest had to slow down.

They can't play if they want to.

After the whole game, their players were very physically exhausted, and Millwall was relatively much better, not only did they run relatively less when defending, but the mood of Millwall's players was more relaxed.

In the 79th minute, Millwall unleashed a wave of frontal advances.

This wave of attacking play is very flat, just a coordinated pass on the side and in the middle, and Nottingham Forest also has a steady retreat defense, but few people thought that the goal would appear like this.

It's David Livermore!

From the first half until now, Livermore have been heavily defended and have not had many chances to get the ball up front, but when Nottingham Forest were desperate to equalise, their backcourt defence was also affected.

Livermore received the pass in front of the left side of the penalty line.

Jody Morris's pass, just a flat push, didn't expect Livermore to shoot, he also bypassed the opposing defender in the hope that Livermore would send the ball back.

Livermore opted for a direct shot!

It was a sudden.

Livermore was about twenty-nine metres from goal, a distance of nearly thirty metres in any game, but he waved his foot and chose to shoot from distance.

"Bang!"

The soccer ball rushes straight to the right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Barry Roche had been standing in front of goal, he saw Livermore swinging his foot and was ready to make a save, but when he was ready to judge the midway of the flying save, he realized that the speed of the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky.

He could only watch the ball rush past his fingers.

As he fell on the grass and watched the football in the net, Barry Roche's face showed a kind of helplessness and despair, because he knew very well that Nottingham Forest had no chance!
