Before the end of the first half, Boca Juniors lost confidence.

Outside fans only feel that Boca Juniors is passive, and the feelings of the players on the field are more obvious, they can't keep up with the fast pace of the opponent, the defense and offense are very depressed, and they feel the strength of the opponent in dozens of minutes of play.

Now two goals behind, is there still a chance to catch up?

The answer in the minds of the Boca Juniors players is no, but they are still playing hard and expecting a turnaround.

The first half passed.

At half-time, the Boca Juniors returned to the dressing room, most of them with frustration on their faces and no intention to discuss the game, they needed support and encouragement.

The manager, Miguel Russo, is well aware of the problems his team is facing, they play very passively, and they are two goals behind the opponent, so the players naturally lose confidence, Miguel Russo encouraged all the players with the arguments that 'the opponent is strong, we are not bad' and 'we just don't know the opponent'.

After a slight morale boost, Miguel Russo spoke about the way he played in the second half, and he gave three suggestions -

One is to keep working hard, as long as the game is not over, there is hope for them.

Of course.

The second is to focus on defense, "You have all experienced that the opponent's attacking ability is much stronger than expected, and their forward line is very efficient, so I hope everyone can pay attention to defense. Run more in the back court and try to minimize the space left. ”

The most important thing is to do one thing well: pay attention to the rhythm.

'We're a fast team, but the opponents are faster than us. They also used 'fast' to play well, not only us, but other Premier League teams, as well as the opponents they faced in the Champions League, including the Spanish giants Real Madrid, all encountered problems with the rhythm, so Real Madrid lost by five goals, even away from home. ”

'We're dealing with that right now, but the advantage over other teams is that we're comfortable with the fast pace and we've had the experience of other teams failing, but we can't be so fast that we get out of control. So we need to control the pace properly and keep the rhythm at the pace that we are most accustomed to. ”

Miguel Russo said a lot about the pace of the game, but it's hard to say exactly how much it had effect.

In fact, Miguel Russo is not more optimistic than the player, because he is the head coach and he has to show confidence, otherwise the whole team will not have confidence, won't there be no chance at all?

The three aspects that Miguel Russo said were carefully considered, but he knew better that all three were 'palliative, not curative' changes, Boca Juniors played passively, and the game could not play an advantage, mainly because of the tactical gap.

The second gap is forward efficiency.

Tactics, efficiency, the combination of the two has created the current situation.

Boca Juniors are also not prepared enough for the game, they take Millwall very seriously, but they still don't know much about Millwall, and they didn't expect Millwall's football to be so fast that Boca Juniors can't keep up.

So for the game, it can only depend on the situation.

If the team can perform well and find a chance to score two goals to tie the score, there is still a chance to win.

Otherwise, it's a loss.

————

The second half proved Miguel Russo's judgment that Boca Juniors could not play at all, even if they paid attention to the rhythm and also to the defense.

Millwall's tactics remained the same, the personnel remained the same, and they still suppressed Boca Juniors, and soon they took advantage of the pressure to score again.

It was the 61st minute of the game, Morris was tackled to the ground by an opposition player, Simpson took the set-piece, played with his team-mates, and Luca Toney followed the Boca Juniors goal with a header.

3 to 0.

After this goal, the game was basically no longer in suspense.

Zhang Yang sat in the coach's seat very calmly, did not participate in the team's celebration, and most of the others just waited for the game to end.

Although there were still thirty minutes, it could not change the result.

In the closing stages of the game, Boca Juniors fought hard and proved their quality: they breached the Millwall goal.

But it's just a ball.

Millwall also found an opportunity to score another goal and the final score was 4-1 as Millwall beat Boca Juniors.

The cruel thing about professional football is that the losing side doesn't have a say and not many people pay attention.

After Boca Juniors lost the game, even if they were runners-up in the Club World Cup, they could only be a foil, and the cheers of the whole stadium were given to the champions Millwall.

Zhang Yang shakes hands with Miguel Russo.

It's courtesy.

Miguel Russo had a lot of exclamations, "You're so young, I can't imagine that your team is so good." ”

Zhang Yang only smiled.

He has heard too many similar exclamations, so he doesn't feel anything, and the important thing is that the team beat Boca Juniors to win the Club World Cup.

The Club World Cup is a small and continental title, but it makes a lot of sense, and what makes Millwall more meaningful than Boca Juniors is that they are the first time they have won the World Championship, which they have won many times.

The first championship is enough to go down in the history of the club.

It was also Millwall's third trophy of the season, having won the Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup.

The match commentator also spoke about this, "The title goes to Millwall, it's the third trophy. Premier League teams have the opportunity to win seven titles: the Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League, Super Cup, Community Shield and Club World Cup. ”

'Now Millwall have won their third Club World Cup, and the remaining four trophies, they have a chance to fight for ......'

"That means Millwall have a chance to win all the titles, and they could become the Premier League's all-time seven-time champions!"

"Of course, there's just a chance. We can expect that Millwall's league is not a big problem, they occupy the top of the table, there are also chances in the League Cup, the FA Cup, and the Champions League is the most difficult. ”

“……”

After the game, Wilkinson rushed into the stadium with excitement on his face, celebrated with the players on the field, and promised to give half of the championship prize money to the participating players, which naturally received a lot of support.

Zhang Yang just smiled.

Winning the Club World Cup was expected, but in fact, there was nothing to be proud of in the win over Boca Juniors, not even the first game against Urawa Rubies, which was 10-0.

When the game was really over, Zhang Yang began to worry, because back in London, the team was about to go to Manchester to start a big game with Manchester United.

Team...... Will it work?

————

If most of the main players were able to play, Zhang Yang would not worry about the game at all, but the truth is just the opposite, most of the main players could not play because the two games were too close.

Two days!

Millwall won the Club World Cup on 12 December, flying back to London that night and everyone had to re-jet lag, leaving the squad to assemble for training in just one afternoon.

When we regrouped in the afternoon, most of the players were out of spirit, they were still in the process of jet lag, and they were a little out of shape during training.

Zhang Yang consulted with Jorderick.

Chouderick's judgment was pessimistic, "If you don't want to face a lot of injuries, my advice is to give up tomorrow's game. ”

"It was a game against Manchester United......

"Of course, I know, but the team can afford to lose, can't it? Most of the players are unavailable and there is no way for them to recover. Credrick finished and called the names of the players, "These players play, don't say they perform well, it's good to be able to play the whole game normally without getting injured, they all need to rest." ”

Zhang Yang still trusts Credrick very much, and because of this, he began to worry about the game.

Abandon?

How can it be!

The task has not been completed, and giving up the game is equivalent to giving up the task.

In the end, Zhang Yang decided to send a few main players in good physical condition, and the other core players could rest when they could, and at the same time formulated the most conservative game strategy.
