Late in the first half, Braniff helped Millwall to score the second goal.

2 to 0.

The goal was a very frustrating goal for Manchester United fans, who hoped that the Champions League would be different from the league, and that United would be able to beat Millwall in the crucial final to win the Champions League, but the game on the pitch seemed to be the same, with Millwall still leading and scoring late in the first half.

Do Manchester United still have a chance?

Many fans have the answer in their hearts, and they can't help but think of Manchester United's results in the past few seasons, wanting the strength of Millwall in the past three seasons, thinking of the city's sworn rival Manchester City, and is preparing to wave a cheque to replenish its strength.

"Will there be more competition in the future?"

"In this fierce competition, Ferguson ...... Is it really okay? "Some fans are beginning to question Ferguson, they shouldn't have this kind of idea, but Manchester United has not been able to get good results, it has been five years, five years, no league title, no Champions League, Chelsea, Millwall have risen in the league, the competition will be more fierce in the future, Ferguson is Manchester United's meritorious coach, but he is old after all.

He...... Is it really okay?

Many Manchester United fans looked at the United dugout, where Alex Ferguson was sitting and didn't move, and they were immediately disappointed.

on the field.

Braniff hugged Vardy excitedly, and then remembered Maxi who assisted him, and shook hands with Maxi very reluctantly, and seemed to be a little dirty, wiping and wiping on his body, Maxi had an urge to vomit blood, and he was a little suspicious of Braniff's orientation.

Although it is said that Vardy has a girlfriend, it does not prevent Braniff from having impulsive thoughts!

Maybe......

Maxi felt that Vardy should be reminded to be careful, otherwise it would not be good for the straight man to be bent.

But Braniff doesn't seem to be very 'chaste', he also hugs Morris, and hugs Livermore, which makes Maxi a little incomprehensible, "Morris, David, they're not cleaner than me, right?" ”

Looking at Livermore's big body and stinky sweat, Maxi couldn't figure it out.

"Is it a habit of cleanliness? Hugs are also picky? Whoever has a good relationship with him will hug him......"

Maxi pondered deeply.

Millwall celebrated for a short time before the game resumed, as there was not much time left, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Millwall had a two-goal lead, and the whole team celebrated, and when they got to the dressing room, many players talked about winning the championship and receiving the award.

This scene made Zhang Yang very vigilant.

In the 2004-2005 Champions League final, AC Milan celebrated at half-time, thinking that a three-goal lead must be no problem, and then Liverpool scored three goals in six minutes.

It was Liverpool's temporary performance, and it must have been AC Milan's carelessness.

Zhang Yang didn't want to see the team overturned by Manchester United and become the green leaf of Manchester United's miracle and championship foil, he immediately told seriously, "You should remember that in 2005, the Champions League final was overturned by Liverpool, history, can give people experience and lessons." I don't expect us to be the first AC Milan. ”

"So, forget about being ahead! Also forget how many times we've won, that doesn't mean anything to the game. You have to remember that Manchester United are one of the strongest teams in the world and for them two goals are nothing. We have to be at our best and play better and better to be able to beat them and win. ”

"It's not time to relax until the game is over!"

“……”

Zhang Yang said a lot to the players, and generally asked them to calm down, not to think about the championship, and to devote themselves to the game seriously.

That argument has limited effect, as Millwall already have a two-goal lead and the player is unlikely not to think about it.

But Zhang Yang is not too worried, Liverpool was able to turn the tables, there are many factors, not only AC Milan careless, AC Milan also has internal problems, coach Ancelotti can no longer fully control the team, and there are many contradictions in the locker room, such as Shepchenko, who has enough prestige to challenge Ancelotti's majesty, and even Kaka does not have much say in front of Shepchenko.

Millwall is different.

The flamboyant majesty is much stronger than Carlo Ancelotti's, he has absolute control over the dressing room, no player can challenge his majesty, and every player will follow his instructions carefully.

In addition, the 'foresight' ability can also give early warning of accidents, Manchester United can really play very well, and he will also predict the goal in advance.

Until now, 'follow the word' has not been used.

Wait a minute.

These are all the hole cards in Zhang Yang's hand, and he can do much more than Ancelotti.

So Manchester United wants to turn the tables, there is basically no hope.

————

The half-time break was enough time to re-boost Manchester United's morale.

After the start of the second half, they played more disciplined, Scol, Caris continued to intersperse the organization, the wing C-Ronaldo became the most active player, at the same time, Manchester United's forward line also received frequent passes, so that Millwall's goal, for a period of time into danger.

Manchester United's performance was not unexpected.

Zhang Yang sat in his seat, but he was very calm, Manchester United's strength was already very good, and now it can be said that it has reached a peak, if the memory of the previous life is not wrong, Manchester United will win the league and the Champions League this season, and it can be said that it has reached a peak again.

It's a pity that now there is Millwall.

Manchester United can only be in second place, but it does not affect their overall strength, when they really play the state, it is enough to pose a threat to Millwall, but it is only a threat, because 'foreknowledge' did not predict the goal, Zhang Yang has a clear understanding of himself, to say that the overall control of the game, he can't catch up with other top coaches, but to say that the control of a short period of time, a 'prediction' can throw others 108,000 miles.

With 'foresight', there is short-term 'control'.

When he noticed that an accident would happen, Zhang Yang immediately made an adjustment, he asked Livermore to help defend the left side, "Don't let Cristiano Ronaldo shoot with his feet!" He predicted that Cristiano Ronaldo would get up and score from the perimeter.

It has to be organized.

Now asking the players to do a good job of defense can also have some impact on the 'accident', but it is a bit difficult to say what the specific impact will be.

The impact this time was not too good, but the results were acceptable.

Livermore's way to stop C-Ronaldo was to foul directly on the periphery, Livermore got a yellow card, Manchester United got a free kick in a normal position, and took advantage of the free kick opportunity, Manchester United played a good combination, but in the end the football was successfully cleared by Zambrotta.

Zhang Yang exhaled.

It was well worth it to be able to resolve the goal crisis with a yellow card, and if United still managed to score, there would be little to do.

In the 67th minute of the game, Zhang Yang couldn't help but take action when he saw the situation of being stuck for a long time.

This time it was a low shot from Braniff.

In the 'foresight' vision, Braniff's shot flew out of the goal by grazing the bottom line, but with the effect of 'walking the talk', the quality of Braniff's shot suddenly improved greatly.

There is power!

Angled!

The result of the shot turned into a roll into the goal against the post.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar made a save, but the angle of the ball was too tricky for him to save.

"Braniff!"

"It's Braniff again! A cold shot from the edge of the box! Straight into the dead end! Pretty! ”

"3 to 0!"

"From the beginning of the game to now, we can see that Manchester United as a whole, there is no disadvantage, but the difference in efficiency between the two teams is too big, Millwall scored three goals with the same chances, and Manchester United had the same chances, they didn't even score a single goal......

When the score was 3-0, even the Manchester United players on the pitch were a little desperate.

How else is this ball played?

Do they really have a chance to beat Millwall?

Sidelines.

Ferguson watched the game and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, he was a little skeptical that he was really old.

Manchester United's situation is not disadvantaged, and there are no fewer shooting opportunities than Millwall, but why is it Millwall who scores goals again and again, is it really a gap in the efficiency of strikers and midfielders.

But is Manchester United's squad worse than Millwall?

Wayne Rooney, Tevez, Carrick, which is not the best in the world? Not to mention C-Ronaldo.

In Ferguson's view, C-Ronaldo is the best player in the world, Millwall's Branifer, the performance is not much worse than C-Ronaldo, but in fact, there is still a big gap between the two......

Ferguson didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Manchester United is worse than Millwall, it can only be said that it is a tactical style of play, the degree of adhesion to the players, but he can't do anything to do Millwall, so that every player can play their best in the tactical system.

"Maybe it's time for me to retire......"

"It's a pity ......"

Ferguson turned his head to look at the young figure on the sidelines and couldn't help but think, "If he can replace me as the manager of Manchester United, there will be nothing to worry about in the future." "The only thing the old jazz can't let go of is Manchester United, he can choose to retire officially, but there is no qualified successor.

What about the future?

Then no one can say.

————

Millwall's three-goal lead is a huge blow to Manchester United, even if Liverpool's three-goal comeback is an example, not every team can do it, especially in the face of the powerful Millwall, even if the field is full of top stars, even including Cristiano Ronaldo, there is not much confidence in winning the game.

At the same time as Ferguson's decision, Cristiano Ronaldo also made a decision: he is leaving Manchester United.

If he stays at Manchester United, it will be difficult to win the title with the team, and there is hope if he leaves, and he is already desperate for the Premier League.

What hope is there for not joining Millwall in the Premier League?

It's been a few seasons......

The other Manchester United players are also very pessimistic, even if the final is still going on and there are nearly 20 minutes left in the game, they are not optimistic about winning, and even not optimistic about next season.

Some of the veterans, such as Paul Scholes, know that Ferguson already has the idea of retiring.

"If you can't win this game, the Jazz will probably retire......"

This idea made many Manchester United players unable to concentrate on the game, even if Manchester United did not win the championship in several seasons, but Ferguson still has great prestige in the team.

In the next game, Manchester United's performance cannot be said to be bad, but it is only in the past.

But there was still no goal!

When the game time crossed the 80-minute threshold, the Millwall fans in the stands gradually shouted for the championship celebration, and the Manchester United fans had the heart to resist, but they really had no confidence.

10 minutes.

5 minutes.

3 minutes.

Time passed little by little, but the score did not change.

That's the most desperate thing.

After just two minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the match commentator announced, "The game is over!" It's over! ”

"Millwall! Millwall, led by Zhang Yang, defeated Manchester United led by Alex Ferguson! ”

"Millwall won the Champions League in 2007-2008! Last season's Champions League title also belonged to Millwall, who managed to defend their title! This is quite a result, and we can say that Millwall have dominated Europe in the last two seasons. ”

"This season, Millwall have achieved a Grand Slam, starting with the Community Shield and winning seven titles in a row! They swept the Premier League, they swept Europe, they swept the whole world! ”

With the excited shouts of the commentator, the TV screen appeared in the flamboyant footage, he rushed to the court, the nearest Simpsons hugged each other, and soon more people rushed over, they hugged and cheered, "This is Zhang Yang and his Millwall!" In just three seasons, they have gone from being promoted to a Premier League player to becoming a hegemon in European football, and the results are incredible......

The camera turned to Manchester United, one by one the players looked down, and they also walked off the field, some players covered their cheeks and cried bitterly, they missed the Champions League in front of them, "And Manchester United, the Premier League runner-up, the Champions League runner-up, this is cruel to them." ”

The picture turned to Ferguson, the old jazz didn't seem to want to face the camera, and turned around and walked into the passage directly, leaving only the back on the camera, "Ferguson left early, he didn't want to see the opponent celebrate, that was a cruel thing for Ferguson, for Manchester United." ”

In the end, the picture still turned to Zhang Yang who was celebrating with the fans, "Millwall have gone all the way, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sweep, they met Real Madrid in the group stage, beat Sevilla, Chelsea, Barcelona and now Manchester United in the knockout round, and each opponent could not put too much pressure on them. ”

"It's amazing a team like that, and when you think of Millwall, you can definitely think of their Chinese manager, Zhang Yang. The young man, who is not yet 25 years old, has made a Championship team into the best team in the world in just three and a half seasons. ”

"How did he do it?"

"Maybe many people will think of a big transfer, but in fact, most of Millwall's players are dug by Zhang Yang, such as Braniff, Simpson, Morris, etc., all followed Millwall from the Championship, so many people will also say that Zhang Yang is not only good at leading the team, he is also very good at developing players......"

"After winning this championship, Zhang Yang has become an almost unsurpassable star in the football coaching industry......

————

The 'unsurpassable star' that the tournament commentator talked about was soon up to date.

It's not about winning the championship.

It's not coaching.

Zhang Yang surprisingly publicly said, "Will leave Millwall, and has not considered coaching other teams." His reasoning was, "There is nothing left to pursue in coaching." ”

This reason makes people want to vomit blood.

A large group of people regretted Zhang Yang's decision to leave, but Zhang Yang's decision must not be changed.

After that, Zhang Yang disappeared from the mainstream media.

Half a year later.

Zhang Yang frequently appeared in the media field of vision again, but the reason had nothing to do with football, but his Zhang's investment in U.S. stocks, before the financial crisis, he was aggressively shorting stocks, and after the financial crisis subsided slightly, Zhang's investment withdrew a large amount of capital, which was naturally noticed.

The Wall Street Journal made a conservative estimate that Zhang's investment in the U.S. financial crisis, using various short-selling methods, swept away more than $8 billion in one go, considering that Zhang's investment is Zhang Yang's personal company, and other people's shares are very small, he suddenly became the top rich man worth more than $5 billion.

After hearing the news of Zhang Yang, it was the middle of the second year.

Zhang Yang announced his marriage to Ivanka in a high-profile manner.

The wedding was a big one.

The news reports are all about how extravagant the wedding is, and it is meaningless at all, but after the wedding was held, Zhang Yang and Ivanka returned to live in China, and he himself began to invest in China.

————

Ten years later.

Because of the departure of many stars, Millwall Club, whose results fell to the Championship, announced a piece of news -

The club changed hands.

The Chinese consortium has acquired a majority stake in the club, and from next season, the team's legendary and meritorious coach Zhang Yang will officially assume the chairmanship of the club......
