Most professional players will have a yearning for the giants, joining the giants is a career improvement, but also represents a certain honor, and they also think that breaking the goals of the giants is also quite a great thing.

Josh Simpson is no exception.

Simpson wasn't thrilled to score a brilliant free-kick against Aston Villa before, but now it's a different story for his side to find the Arsenal goal.

When he saw the football fall into the goal, the referee stretched out his hand to signal that the goal was valid, Simpson waved his arms fiercely, and then hugged Morris next to him excitedly, "I scored the ball!" See? Jody! I scored! I scored against Arsenal! ”

"See! Haha, you're amazing! ”

Other teammates around him also rushed over and kept excitedly saying, "That's great!" Well done! ”

"You scored the Arsenal goal!"

"Excellent! It was a fantastic shot! ”

"I thought I saw God!"

"Josh! OMG! You're famous tonight, and there are a lot of newspapers and TV that will talk about you! ”

“……”

One by one, teammates rushed over and kept shouting excitedly.

While the goal belonged to Josh Simpson, it was even more important for the team to be ahead of Arsenal, who had done a lot to prepare for the game, but no one could say with certainty that they could beat Arsenal.

Now they see hope!

Josh Simpson hugged each of his teammates, and then he suddenly thought of something, threw his arms in excitement, and quickly rushed to the Millwall dugout.

Zhang Yang was standing there.

Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines.

The others were all shouting excitedly, all of them seemed to have become crazy, but their flamboyant expressions were much more flat, just with a smile on the corner of their mouths.

Zhang Yang was also happy for Simpson's goal!

However, knowing in advance is not the same as knowing just now, his excitement has passed for most of the time, but he has not told anyone else, so his expression is a little flat, but he is still happy for Simpson's goal.

This is the first time that Simpson has relied on his individual ability to play such a subtle free-kick!

Simpson also scored from free kicks before, but they all used the goal generated by the magic power of 'Speak with the Method', so that he could adjust his state to the best, and naturally he could play wonderful goals, but the 'Speak with the Word' cannot always be used, and the real performance of the players is the key.

The Simpson did it!

With this goal, Zhang Yang believes that Simpson will be able to rely on his personal ability to create more goals for the team in the future.

That's when Simpson came running.

Zhang Yang didn't know what this guy was going to do, he also subconsciously dodged it, but he didn't expect Simpson to catch up and just hug him, a big man was covered in sweat, and it was really uncomfortable to hug him tightly.

Zhang Yang's face darkened a little, and he shouted loudly, "I don't mind hugging, but the premise is a woman, and it must be a beauty...... If you don't let go, I've decided to let you practice for an extra hour every day! You won't have time to be with your girlfriend in the future. ”

Simpson was startled and immediately let go of his hand.

Everyone else laughed.

Simpson smiled wryly and was about to run back, his excitement almost disappeared after 'adding an hour of practice', but when he was leaving, he couldn't help but say, "I don't have a girlfriend yet!" ”

Suddenly the laughter was even louder.

Zhang Yang's face also became darker, "This kid ...... Be sure to clean it up! ”

When Millwall celebrated the goal, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's brows were already furrowed, he personally commanded the defense just now, but he didn't expect the opponent's right midfielder to play such a wonderful curling ball.

A direct free-kick?

The level of that free kick just now is not worse than David Beckham, right?

It would be terrible if that young right-midfielder could play at such a level every time, and considering that he is only less than 19 years old, maybe he will really become the next Beckham?

"Maybe he should be brought to the Emirates Stadium? Arsenal is the cradle of young talent! ”

Arsene Wenger thought.

When Arsenal scored a goal, Arsene Wenger's first thought was poaching, and as long as young talent was poached into his own team, then the threat of opponents became a threat to Arsenal.

"If he were invited to join Arsenal, would he agree?" Wenger also began to consider the possibility of poaching, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head, even if he wanted to poach, it would be next season.

It's a pity that I didn't notice in the summer that Millwall still has this kind of young talent, and next summer, the other party may become a 'famous star', and it is normal for young English players who can perform well in the Premier League to be worth several times, and it is very unrealistic to tap Premier League-level talents with Arsenal's current financial situation.

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

Arsene Wenger smiled wryly and shook his head, but he still has to think about the game at the moment.

The goal just now, the opponent's shot was very exciting, but the goal was also due to Arsenal's defensive mistakes, even he thought that Jody Morris would take the penalty, but it was Josh Simpson who took the penalty.

Before this goal, almost no one knew that Simpson's free-kick was of such a high standard.

Now everyone knows.

Arsenal have also learned the lesson of carelessness, and when Millwall score a goal, things are a little bit bad.

Arsenal has always had a pressing advantage before, most of the football is controlled at the feet of Arsenal, Arsenal attacks more times, shoots more, the opponent is suppressed in the half, and can only rely on sporadic counterattacks to seek counter-attack opportunities.

From now on, the passive becomes Arsenal.

This is not to say that the situation is passive, but Arsenal have to step up their offensive and try to equalize, and the opponent only needs to defend solidly and play a normal defensive counterattack.

That's the difference that comes with scoring goals.

The first half was almost over and Arsenal would certainly go into the break with a goal down, which was a very unfavourable situation, but there was no time in the first half and we could only hope that the second half would change the situation.

————

There really wasn't time in the first half.

When Millwall finished celebrating, the game had gone into stoppage time, and the stoppage time was two minutes, and Millwall retreated to defend all the way, and it was very unrealistic for Arsenal to score goals with one or two waves of attack.

In the end, the first half ended 1-0.

Millwall went into the break with a one-goal advantage at home, and taking the lead would give confidence and hope of winning from top to bottom, with everyone relaxed and every fan excited to beat the mighty Arsenal.

Zhang Yang was also very happy.

Before the start of the game, some media analysts believe that Millwall should give up the game against the giants, if the goal is relegation, Zhang Yang may really do that, after all, playing with several giants, consuming too much energy, may not be able to win, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

But Millwall is aiming for the Final Four!

Zhang Yang has never talked about it to anyone else, but the goal given by the system is this, he must lead the team to the final four in order to continue to open the head coach module, and not be considered a 'failure' and turn it off, he doesn't want to be a 'failed head coach'.

Millwall is aiming for the final four, and they must fight hard with the giants, if they have to give up even the Arsenal game, then how can they play with Manchester United and Chelsea?

Liverpool may not be able to play either.

After giving up so many games, Millwall's goal can only be to avoid relegation.

As the first game against the giants, especially at home, Zhang Yang's goal is to lead the team to win, as long as the home victory over Arsenal can bring confidence to the whole team and let them know, "Even if we play against the giants, we can still strive for victory!" ”

After taking a one-goal lead, Millwall was full of confidence.

However, after returning to the locker room, Zhang Yang still reminded everyone that in the second half, we should continue to focus on defense, with a goal advantage, as long as we can do a good job in defense, it is enough to win the victory, and the offense still relies on rapid counterattacks, and long-range shots from the periphery, creating set-pieces and so on.

If you play against other giants, you don't have to play so conservatively, but Arsenal is different, they are the kind of team that is very fast-paced and very good at attacking, as long as there is a little chance, they may score goals, and now Henry is also in his prime, considered one of the best strikers in the world, let Arsenal find opportunities in the front, Millwall's defense can easily become fragmented.

So you can't leave any chance to your opponent.

Zhang Yang told the team that he was worried that Arsenal would launch a big attack, but Arsenal did what they did in the second half, and from the first minute, they bombarded Millwall in the half.

In the 56th minute of the game, Zhang Yang 'predicted' the goal, and he hurriedly reminded the team to strengthen the defense of the middle, but the temporary reminder was insignificant in the face of the difference in strength.

Millwall were attentive to defending at the front end of the box, but Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie combined to beat Jody Morris and Wes Morgan in quick succession, before Henry faced the goalkeeper in the box.

Zhang Yang saw the wry smile and practiced, but he still had to use the 'big move'.

"Mistake!"

A penetrating voice was mapped to Henry, who was holding the ball, Henry had already swung his right foot, but when he swung his right foot, he felt unstable, and as a result, the shot failed to kick the goal, and was blocked by Darren Ward, who rushed over.

"Dangerous ——!!"

"Ward! He was a hero for Millwall, and he used his body to block Henry's shot! ”

Quite a few commentators are praising Darren Ward.

Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines but smiled bitterly, Arsenal had to use 'words and words' to stop an attack, so what about the next time? 'Lucky blessing'? That doesn't work well in a fast-paced game.

He can only hope that the team will stabilize the defence.

Fortunately, Millwall did not perform well after that, with every player doing their best to defend, even Darren Bent dropped back to the back of the halfway line, ready to support the defence.

But the next scene still shocked Zhang Yang.

Jody Morris was scrambling in front of the box when he collided with Ljungberg, who was on a diagonal cut, and both fell to the ground in pain.

The referee blew the whistle and stopped the game.

Later, Zhang Yang noticed that Morris was lying on the grass in pain with his knees in his arms.

He's hurt!
