Suarez's goal was the only goal of the first half.

Birmingham have done a decent job defensively.

When the time came to the second half, Birmingham seemed unwilling to lose the game and made a tentative attack, but the result was not very good, not to mention the chance, and was quickly scored by Millwall, and it was midfielder Ljungberg who completed the goal.

Ljungberg was abandoned by Wenger for a long time, but he has strength and experience, he is just not so outstanding in ability and performance, and he is still very suitable as a substitute player.

Arsenal probably felt that it was a luxury to have Ljungberg on the bench, or Ljungberg was not willing to substitute a group of new players, but Millwall did not have that to worry about, and when Ljungberg signed, it was clear that he must be a substitute, because he simply could not compete with Morris, Braniff and others.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to play, Ljungberg is still working hard, and when he receives a pass from Braniff, Ljungberg goes straight to the goal.

A clean and sharp shot!

Ljungberg celebrates with a smile on his team-mates, who is much more composed than Suarez's goalscoring performance.

Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Ljungberg.

Some fans may still be cheering on Ljungberg's goal, but the media conversation quickly shifted to Braniff, "This pass is a classic!" The football penetrated Birmingham's defence directly, and a midfielder and a central defender failed to stop it! ”

"Ljungberg had just run past and the ball was at his feet! Braniff's ability to give the ball is getting better and better! ”

'Three league games, five assists, one goal in between, who could ask for more?'

'In Millwall, Jamie Gundy was the most attention-grabbing player and Braniff was the best performer, providing two assists in the last Super Cup!

"Braniff has become the top frontcourt, the best master in the middle!"

“……”

Ljungberg is ignored because he really doesn't have anything to talk about, and everyone knows he's definitely just a substitute, because there are better Sneijder and Braniff in midfield, and maybe he'll be more of a problem on the right flank.

Millwall has only one Simpson on the right flank, but he will also have to face competition with newcomer Gary O'Neal.

It's a bit brutal for Ljungberg.

However, Ljungberg has a good mentality, and after coming to Millwall, he found that the atmosphere in the team is much better than that of Arsenal, and he will face every game with great confidence.

Playing as a substitute at Millwall is always better than Arsenal, because Millwall is the team that really wins the title, and it seems to be good to win the title with the team.

As for the main position...... He's thirty years old, he's almost past the peak of his career, what more could he ask for? Being able to maintain the state is the only pursuit.

————

Braniff was rightfully praised, as the media said, with five assists and one goal in three league games, and he was indeed the best player in the team.

Zhang Yang's performance against Braniff was no surprise.

In the middle of last season, Zhang Yang blessed Braniff with the effect of "Words and Spirits", and Braniff's foot skills rose rapidly, and now he can fully master the ability, and his strength level has naturally improved greatly.

Braniff's level is already top-notch, coupled with his ability to always be superior, he is certainly one of the best players in the world, and it is not a big deal to be able to compete with stars such as Ronaldinho, C-Ronaldo, and Kaka.

Zhang Yang is satisfied that Braniff did not become sticky because of his confidence, he still plays as normal, passing the ball when he should pass, cooperating when he should cooperate, and there are occasional individual breakthroughs, but in the whole game, the number of times is not much.

This has helped a lot with the overall performance of the team.

There was not much to say about the rest of the game, Birmingham were two goals down, and their morale plummeted, and they found that they could not win against Millwall no matter what, except for the very occasional wave of counter-attacks, and most of the time they continued to stay at the back to defend because they did not want to lose by a big score.

That's humiliating.

Birmingham's hard work paid off and Millwall didn't find another goal until the end of the day.

2 to 0.

Millwall won the third round of the league.

————

The fourth round of the league is not until the beginning of September, a week between the third round, and Millwall can relax for a few days.

Zhang Yang cared about the work in New York, two months is not a long time, but it is enough to complete two transactions, these two transactions can not catch up with the yield ratio of futures oil, but with the increase of funds, the income is also increasing.

The two transactions generated nearly $30 million in earnings for the company.

At present, Zhang Yang's investment company has assets of more than 60 million US dollars, and it cannot be simply regarded as a small company.

Zhang Yang also decided that the next investment strategy should be to diversify risks, which should not be called 'diversification of risks', with the ability of "trading divination", there is almost no risk, but when the scale of an investment is too large, it may affect the upward trend, and recently affect the results of "trading divination".

This is also the limitation of "trading divination".

Zhang Yang decided to make three important investments every month, reduce the investment amount of each one, and in addition, part of the funds can also be invested in stocks for a long time, which can minimize the impact of capital investment on the results of "trading divination".

This is a stable investment strategy.

Using the international video connection, Zhang Yang had a small meeting with Tagore and Andy, talked about his ideas, and listened to Tagore's ideas, and then asked the two newly recruited rookies to go to New York to work with Tagore, and Andy was called back by Zhang Yang.

"I need you to be in charge of the operation of the fund."

Zhang Yang's recall of Andy is the previous decision to set up a youth football training fund, although the initial investment is only 10 million yuan, the funds are relatively small, but this work is related to his reputation, he is not worried about others to do it, Andy can be absolutely trusted.

Andy's ability is also outstanding, and he also has a certain understanding of China, but he has no work experience in finance, and it is completely meaningless to live in New York.

After that, Zhang Yang devoted himself to the work of the club.

The Champions League draw is coming.

For Millwall and Zhang Yang, this year's draw is different from last year, last year Millwall just entered the Champions League, as a rookie team, it is difficult to be noticed by the media, this year Millwall is the 'defending champion', the situation is naturally different, the team can be said to be the group draw, the most attention-grabbing, because the Champions League group draw, not only for each team group, but also for last season's Champions League summary, will award awards.

Millwall were Champions League winners last season and will certainly take home some of the prizes.

Among them, the title of "Best Coach" will almost 100% belong to publicity, and other awards such as "Best Goalkeeper", "Best Player", and "Best Defender" will also be awarded to Millwall players.

Millwall had a strong squad for the draw, with Morris, Darren Ward, Zambrotta, Livermore and Graham nominated for the award in addition to Zhang Yang, Wilkinson and Pierce.

Millwall's huge squad attracted attention as soon as they entered the main gate.

Many reporters rushed to interview, the number of reporters was very large, they were surrounded, several players answered questions separately, Zhang Yang was the most concerned, he did not talk about last season, but complained about this season's classification, "Maybe I don't know much about European football, or for some other reason, in short, I don't quite understand why Millwall is a second-tier team." ”

"The Premier League is the league with the most points in UEFA, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, all in the first tier, and we, you should know, none of them have beaten us in the league, even in the cups, in the Champions League, we are unbeaten. We are the defending champions, but because of the UEFA points, we are considered second tier. ”

"As it turns out, UEFA's points rules are not so perfect, and I think the champion team should be placed directly in Pot 1."

In UEFA's club points rules, there will be winning points for participating in competitions, promotion points will be awarded for promotion, and the only thing that is not is the championship points bonus, that is, the champion and runner-up will receive the same UEFA points in the current season.

So, there is no privilege for champions.

The flamboyant complaint is that Millwall is placed in the second bracket, which means that there will definitely be a non-English first-tier team in the group, let's see the teams you may encounter.

AC Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Lyon.

The five teams are all at the top of the leagues, and it is not easy to play any of them, and the reason for the flamboyant complaint is also here, if it is divided into the first bracket, it will be different, the biggest competitor in the group will be Valencia, Porto, Sevilla, and may meet Athens AEK and PSV Eindhoven, the situation will be much better.

Millwall's schedule is very stressful, and if the pressure of the Champions League group stage is less, it can also reduce the pressure on the team as a whole.

The surrounding reporters are also full of sympathy for Millwall, the flamboyant complaint is true, the media evaluates the participating teams, Millwall will definitely be able to rank in the top eight, and it must be a seeded team, but unfortunately, because it only participated in the Champions League once, no matter how good the results are, the UEFA points are a little insufficient, and they will definitely not be able to enter the seeded team side.

Of course, UEFA will not change the way points are calculated for the sake of Millwall.

Soon the draw ceremony began.

The draw ceremony began with a moment of silence for the deceased players.

Three days ago, in the match between Sevilla and Getafe, left wing-back Puerta chased the opposition right midfielder and was forced by him to cross the bottom line, and as everyone waited for the restart, Puerta suddenly fell to the ground.

When his teammates rushed to Puerta's side, they saw a somewhat terrifying scene: Puerta was desperately picking at his throat with his fingers, as if something was blocking it, and his body was shaking violently, and his expression was extremely painful.

Dragutinovic, the closest teammate to Puerta at the time, realized the seriousness of the situation, and he put his hand into Puerta's mouth to prevent the unconscious Puerta from swallowing his tongue and choking, and kept pressing on Puerta's chest to help him pacing his heartbeat.

After some emergency rescue, Puerta regained consciousness and was accompanied by the team doctor back to the lounge, and soon came bad news, Puerta fell into a coma again in the locker room, and the team doctor immediately injected a cardiac agent, so that he was temporarily out of danger of life due to respiratory failure.

Puerta was taken to the University Hospital of Virgen-del-Roio in Seville and immediately admitted to the intensive care unit.

Since then, the media revealed that Puerta's condition began to stabilize and was basically out of danger, but in fact, the medical team in charge of treatment said that Puerta's condition was still very serious, and he even had two dangerous situations of breathing and cardiac arrest in the hospital.

The day before the Champions League group draw ceremony, Antonio Puerta died in hospital at the age of twenty-two.

It's a shame.

Puerta's wife, who was due to give birth on September 20, did not wait for the birth of his child until he died, and at the end of his life, he confessed, "If I die, please scatter my ashes at the Pizjuan Stadium." ”

This sentence touched countless fans.

The media throughout Europe and even the world reported on Puerta's death, and the lottery ceremony also observed a moment of silence for Puerta.

Millwall and his party were deeply touched by this, they also played against Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup, and Puerta was one of the players who started and played the whole game, it is hard to believe that such a strong guy suddenly died of a heart attack.

Therefore, the silence of Millwall and his party is also very serious.

But in any case, the draw will continue.

As in previous years, the draw began with the announcement of the awards, which were unveiled by Millwall goalkeeper Graham Stark, who beat Petr Cech to claim the title.

In fact, Graham was a bit of a fluke to beat Cech, who had undoubtedly outperformed Graham before the Champions League final, but Graham took advantage of Chelsea's defeat to Millwall in the final.

Graham excitedly walked to the podium and gave an acceptance speech, and then drew lots for the first-tier team together with passing goalkeeper Dasayev.

This is how the lottery process goes, with last season's awards being announced, the winners expressing their impressions, and then the lottery proceeding.

The process was entertaining and left the fans watching the ceremony dizzying.

For the teams that come to participate in the draw ceremony, the wonderful process is secondary, they are not ordinary fans, they do not need to watch the excitement of the process, only care about things related to their own team.
