Chapter 108: Good grades are also terrible
Not only has Dave Jones found the confidence to be 'older', he also believes Wolves have a better chance of winning.
Millwall's results have been good in recent times.
But Wolves aren't bad either.
Since the beginning of Christmas, Wolves have played a record of three wins, one draw and one loss in five games, and it is not much worse to catch up with Millwall, in addition, from the beginning of the season to the present, Wolves' results are also good, they are currently ranked sixth in the league and have entered the 'promotion team', Millwall's ranking has risen rapidly, but the points gap with Wolves is still six.
The above are just the results of the two teams.
For Millwall, Dave Jones doesn't think that it is the level of flamboyant leadership that will make Millwall's results better.
He shares the same views as many media outlets.
Why do Millwall get good grades? In terms of strength, they have two good assistant coaches who can use training to maintain the team's fitness level; In terms of on-the-spot performance, Millwall is also in a good situation, the players play better on the field, and the injuries in the team are not serious.
Wait a minute.
There are a variety of reasons that support Millwall's good results.
But the Wolves are not bad at all, and there are no weaknesses in every aspect of comparison.
"It's good to win this one safely!" Dave Jones thought.
The race has begun.
Dave Jones sat in the dugout, constantly analysing the situation in his head and watching the game carefully.
Wolves started the game on the attack, with four passes to the edge of the box creating good chances, but the quality of the striker's shot was a little less good and the ball flew over the crossbar.
"It doesn't look like you're used to the game yet!"
Dave Jones shook his head, he was still very happy with the team's performance, and the fact that he had a shot on goal so quickly also proved that the team was playing quite well.
Zhang Yang sat in the Millwall coach's seat, with a slight smile on his face, watching the game very calmly. The opponent's shot just now didn't even make the slightest fluctuation on his face.
Under the camera lens, he kept his eyes on the playing field.
But in fact, Zhang Yang already knew what would happen in the next few minutes, he didn't have to observe it too seriously, and he was studying the newly acquired ability in his heart - lucky blessings.
After the tournament officially starts, the Lucky Blessing can be used.
Zhang Yang also knew the effect of the ability.
Lucky Blessing is to add luck attributes to a single player, which can be your own player, the opposing player, or even the referee in the playing field.
Of course, the latter two don't need to be considered.
Luck blessing is to increase luck, and it must be used on your own players.
The duration of the lucky blessing is a bit short, only about five minutes, which is about the same as the time of the 'prediction', and the gap between the consideration of 'lucky for the whole game'.
This is not the place to complain.
What he felt less satisfied with was that the ability effect of the lucky blessing was determined in the form of luck, and the specific effect was a bit like a lottery, which could only be determined at the moment of using the ability, and the range of the blessing effect could only increase by ten percent, or it could be several times.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of a word: "the dice of fate"!
Lucky blessing is a bit like the "dice of fate", at the moment of use, the better luck of the object, the more luck can be blessed...... Using luck to bless luck, just thinking about it is a bit messy.
Zhang Yang pursed the corners of his mouth and watched the game again.
The game on the pitch was still tentative, but Wolves seemed to be a bit ferocious in attack and seemed to be looking to get on the scoresheet from the start.
This was quite a surprise.
If it's at the home of Wolves, it's not surprising at all, the home team always wants to take the lead early, but it's a little strange at Neil Stadium, Zhang Yang can't help but look towards the Wolves dugout.
Dave Jones also happened to look over.
The two looked at each other.
Dave Jones smiled confidently.
Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and felt funny, "It turns out that I was underestimated!" But what confidence does this guy have that he will win against Millwall? "Perhaps it should be said that he is the one who has faith.
Millwall's on-field lineup is assessed as a 'four-star' strength in 'Divination', but with just a change of full-back, the strength must be close to five-star.
Wolves?
The strength will definitely not be stronger than Millwall!
Millwall still have home advantage, and even if they don't do anything and sit back and watch the game play, Wolves have little hope of winning.
Where does the other party get their confidence?
————
The game has just begun.
Dave Jones' confidence comes from his more experience in leading the team, Wolves' recent good results, and the fact that his opponents are under pressure from public opinion, and many aspects support his confidence in the game.
But the game didn't follow his script.
Since he started to train the team tactically, Zhang Yang has been emphasizing the team's defense, and this game is the same, even at home, defense is very important.
Millwall defended well.
The team's formation is very solid, and the backfield players are running without skimpiness and physical energy, which brings a lot of resistance to the Wolves attack.
In the next 20 minutes, Wolves had no chance to get any chance after a good start to play, but Millwall gradually played into form, constantly threatening the Wolves goal with solid advances.
There was no smile on Dave Jones' face.
Zhang Yang smiled.
For people who understand Zhang Yang, when they see this expression, they will know that the game is very good, and sometimes they don't understand at all where the game situation is, but they can only attribute this to 'this young Chinese has a special insight into the game'.
Few people knew that the turning point of the game was about to happen.
————
At this point in time, Wolves fans are worried about the team.
At the beginning of the game, they were not worried at all, as reported by the regional media, Millwall were going through a crisis of public opinion, and their young manager offended the local media in London.
The media has been covering the negative news about Millwall.
In such a situation, Millwall struggled to make a good performance, and the opening of the game confirmed that, Wolves were quick to find the back of the net, but the rest of the game proved that it was only a special occasion, just an accident.
Millwall's defence has done a good job.
As the game wore on, Millwall played to the advantage, and Wolves looked a little embarrassed overall, with the goal seemingly ready to be breached at any moment.
But how so?
Wolves fans don't understand.
Equally incomprehensible were the many reporters in the media gallery, some of whom were with Wolves, and most of them were reporters from the London Region, who would have been surprised if they had paid attention to this side.
Several reporters were allowed to come to cover the press conference.
Journalists 'boycotted' him, boycotted Millwall FC, but the game always has to be covered, as the media covering the Championship, after a round of league games, they can't not mention the game between Millwall and Wolves, so they still came to Neil Stadium, but did not go to the press conference, as a sign of 'blocking Millwall'.
These reporters are more serious about watching the game than the fans.
They were there to cover the game, but they were backing Millwall's opponents. They want to see Millwall lose, they want to see Frank fail, and then there will be plenty of reasons to write 'to their heart' story.
Many reporters have this in mind.
However, the game was not driven by their will, and it was only halfway through the first half, with Wolves' underdogs already showing off and Millwall dominating the situation.
These reporters don't like to see Millwall win.
If Millwall wins, how can they continue to laugh at Millwall as they said before the game, or that the young Chinese will 'not be able to do anything' to block the media?
Millwall's good grades are a terrible thing!
Most of their previous reports were saying that 'that young Chinese won by luck', 'he has no level at all', 'how can he be a young man in his twenties capable of being the head coach', if Millwall has always had good results, wouldn't it prove that the young Chinese is really doing a good job as a head coach?
Although they have also reported that Millwall have two good assistant coaches, when Wise was coaching, Millwall's results were ridiculously poor.
In short, they all want Millwall to lose!
It's better to lose by a big score!
As reporters gritted their teeth to cheer on Wolves, Millwall unleashed a wave of rapid attacks, with the ball passed to Jody Morris after a few passes.
Morris was very well defended, he had no chance to pass the ball, he could only dribble the ball forward quickly, and when he was about to reach the baseline, Morris tried his luck to kick back, and the ball hit the defender's leg and bounced off the baseline.
Millwall gets a kick.
David Livermore, Jody Morris and Neil Harris stood in the box to grab the spot, and the stocky Livermore drew a lot of defensive attention, only for Joey Healy's free throw to get to the front post.
Morris swings his head to the goal!
The soccer ball flew into the goal with a spin against the post!
The score became 1-0!
