Millwall dugout.

Whenever the camera points over, a figure on the screen appears who is out of step with the heat of the game, playing a deck of playing cards, his eyes only occasionally sweeping over the court, and it is hard to believe that he is watching the game seriously.

The overly youthful face was also surprising, and some fans who didn't know would ask, "What is the manager of Millwall doing?" Why don't their substitutes take the game seriously? Still playing poker...... Did he think it was in a casino? Pornography, gambling, and drugs are prohibited by professional players! ”

Those who knew immediately reminded, "That's the Millwall manager!" ”

"Millwall is a young man in his early twenties, so that's probably him...... But is this like a manager? He's watching the game seriously? ”

Many fans have questions.

But not only the fans, the media also have the same question, at the beginning of seeing the flamboyant attitude of the game, they all wanted to write a report to ridicule, by the way to explain that the other party has no respect for professional football, but after Millwall played one victory after another, they became accustomed to it, and they chose to automatically ignore the flamboyant attitude of the game, because Millwall's results made them have nothing to say.

Bad attitude towards the game?

There is no rule in the football game that says that the head coach can't focus on other things in the game, as long as he leads the team to do well, no one cares if he watches H movies in the head coach's game, it's just a big deal to play poker.

Perhaps angry that Millwall's opponents, such as Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, have always felt bad, and whenever he turns his head to look at Millwall's coaching box, he has a feeling that the young Chinese simply looks down on Manchester United.

Perhaps: the other party is sure of victory.

Or: The opponent doesn't care about the game at all.

Wait a minute.

Either one would make people feel bad, and Ferguson felt that he should not be bothered with the other, after all, there is a huge age gap between the two, and it is understandable that the young man is more 'playful', like his sons.

Whenever he thinks of 'sons', Ferguson feels sad.

Don't talk about the 'pit daddy' son who has nothing to do with football, Darren, one of the twin sons, also became a football coach two years ago and is still coaching Petersburg United, but the coaching performance has not improved much, and it is said that Petersburg United is ready to terminate the contract with Darren.

Such a result......

Darren is Ferguson's most valued son, when he was only nine years old, Darren had 'guidance' to Ferguson's coaching, but unfortunately, he was a genius when he was young, and he may not be able to succeed when he grows up.

What about this young Chinese?

When the game was fierce on the field, the opponent was still in the mood to play poker, and he didn't care about the game at all, but it must be admitted that Millwall made a fine game arrangement, and so far in the game, Manchester United has not scored, and the opponent is very well prepared for the game.

In terms of coaching ability, with the coaching results of the past half season and the beginning of this season, the opponent also has the qualification to stand on the same stage as himself.

It's just a qualification, but it's quite remarkable.

The vast majority of people will not have this qualification in their lifetime, and the other party is only in his early twenties, and the future is still very long, and he will definitely not stop moving.

That's talent!

It's not that Zhang Yang really didn't pay attention to the game.

That's just appearances.

Every three to four minutes, Zhang Yang uses 'precognition' to analyze and judge the game.

'Foreknowledge' can judge the next five minutes of the game, theoretically speaking, there is no limit to the use, but in fact, 'Foreknowledge' still has the saying of 'skill CD', because a large number of pictures are instilled in the mind, and it takes only a moment of time, but the mind has to analyze it, which is a very energy-consuming thing, and he has tried to use it continuously within a minute. The consequence of 'foreknowledge is that my head hurts, and I almost faint directly, and I haven't been relieved for a long time, so I use it once every three to four minutes, and the frequency is already the highest.

Even though there were three to four minutes between each time, Zhang Yang still felt a little stiff in his brain.

This 'supernatural ability' is the best to use it once in more than five minutes, and it basically won't have any impact, but in such a fierce game, if something goes wrong, it's too late to change it after learning about it, and the sooner you know, the better.

While constantly using 'foresight' to prevent accidents, Zhang Yang also needs to analyze the game in order to understand the situation of the game and make adjustments in favor of the team if necessary.

On the pitch at the moment, Manchester United's advantage is too great.

United have been attacking and want to rely on a consistent attack to break the back of the net, and as long as they can score, they will not only have the advantage in the situation, but also the initiative in the big picture.

Millwall, on the other hand, has been passive defensively.

This is to be expected.

Manchester United's strength advantage is too great, Millwall must defend well in the early stage, otherwise going to attack with Manchester United is no different from raising your hands and surrendering.

Defence is the foundation of winning.

Only if you can defend well can you hit the counter-attack, otherwise the counterattack may become an opportunity for the opponent.

Although this is the case, the situation has been passive, it is still very worrying, Manchester United is too strong, and the difference in the strength of the players on both sides is the same, for example, on the left side, Millwall players are much more than Manchester United attacking players, and the team has given up the restrictions in the front area, just near the penalty area and teammate Zhou Xuan, but it is still difficult to completely block. Fortunately, the 'crowd tactics' had some effect, and United couldn't find too many good opportunities along the way.

Manchester United tried to attack from the left side, but it was not unexpected, Manchester United has C-Ronaldo and Scholes on the right side, which must be defended, and the attack on the left side is slightly worse, and the defense arranged before the game is much looser.

Zhang Yang was a little worried about Josh Simpson and Alan Hutton's defense.

Alan Hutton's performance was eye-catching.

In the summer transfer, Zhang Yang single-handedly introduced a lot of players, but players and players are different, such as Jamie Vardy, Zhang Yang clearly knows that Vardy will be successful in the future, so he is very concerned about Vardy's growth, among several players in the backfield, Zhang Yang has a deep impression of Wes Morgan, Wes Morgan's performance is indeed not bad, and soon became the team's main central defender.

Zhang Yang doesn't know much about Alan Hutton.

In his previous life, Zhang Yang was just an ordinary fan, and his knowledge of the players was limited to the games, the news and the teams he knew, he must have heard the name of Alan Hutton, but he couldn't remember where he heard it.

This kind of 'impression' player is enough to have a place at Millwall, but it is not known what he can do.

Now it seems that Alan Hutton is still very good.

Zhang Yang carefully reviewed the past games, and also found that Alan Hutton is excellent, in the 'new tactic', Alan Hutton can maximize his strength, but the fullback is a 'defender' after all, and the main focus should be on defense.

Defensively, Alan Hutton has hardly made any major mistakes.

Although there is basically no performance in attack, but most of them are because of the position, Millwall's 'new tactics' are to allow players to maximize their strength, and there is no offensive and defensive bias, the strength of the team is there, and when encountering many strong teams, the game will be played very passively, what can a full-back perform in attack?

"Maybe we should take a closer look at the details of Alan Hutton's style of play in the tactics, and maybe we can improve the overall strength a bit?"

Zhang Yang thought carefully.

————

The game was raging.

The Reds continued to keep their attacking pressure pressing, but as time went on, their attacking tempo slowed down a bit.

It is impossible for any team to continue to attack for a whole game, when a team keeps attacking, the pace of the game will become faster, each player will play very nervously, and the physical consumption will become very fast, after a period of time, you must slow down the pace of repair, otherwise you will definitely not be able to persevere.

Manchester United are not a special team either.

Thirty-three minutes into the game, it was time for United to adjust the tempo.

This could be Millwall's chance.

Some football analysts have also begun to judge the next game, "Manchester United have slowed down the tempo, Millwall can attack a little bit. ”

'It's going to be Millwall's chance, but it's also a trap for Manchester United to put on the defence and if Millwall get out of the way, the defence will definitely be affected and then there will be a goal. Often the goals of a game can easily come in the time of tempo adjustment. ”

This is professional analysis.

The reporters in the media gallery also have their own judgments, they are not optimistic that Millwall will score, because Millwall was suppressed too badly, in the first 30 minutes, there was only one poor shot on goal, or a 'wave shot' on the periphery, and it did not create any threat at all.

"It's going to be a chance for Manchester United!"

Many reporters see it this way, the pace of the game is following Manchester United's adjustment, it can be said that Manchester United dominated the game, they wanted to slow down the tempo, the tempo slowed down, wanted to speed up the tempo, and the game immediately became intense.

Millwall is in absolute passivity, and even if he takes the opportunity to attack, he may fall into the 'trap'.

The average fan doesn't bother to understand any professional analysis, they just see Manchester United slow down the tempo and Millwall start to attack and counter-attack.

Millwall fans were finally able to shout out for the team's attack.

This is the greatest encouragement for the players.

In the shouts of Millwall fans, Millwall did not let go of the attack, but continued to maintain the stability of the defense, even if Manchester United's formation was pulled back, obviously intending to use time to adjust the tempo, but they still did not press up.

Before the game, Zhang Yang reminded many times, "No matter how the opponent plays, we must maintain a good formation and not give the opponent any chance!" ”

This is the most prudent thing to do.

If you rashly feel that you have found an opportunity to counterattack, you have really fallen into the trap of the opponent.

Millwall's 'stubborn defense' performance made the media reporters think, "They seem to want to hold until the end of the game", and at the same time made the Manchester United players frustrated.

They chose to slow down the pace of attack, partly because they had to make adjustments, but also in the hope that Millwall could come out and that would be their chance as long as they could stretch out of formation.

It's a pity that Millwall wasn't fooled!

United had no choice but to keep the pressure on again, and the game was fast approaching the 40th minute.

This time United attacked from the left and the football was handed to Fletcher.

In the past period, Fletcher has performed a lot better, with the experience of 'failure', he will not rush to make breakthroughs, and the increase in cooperation with his team-mates has also made Manchester United's attack on the left more threatening.

It was not easy to break through the Millwall defence, even to 'meet' Alan Hutton, who faced David Livermore first.

After forty minutes of play, Livermore's name was known by many Manchester United players, before Alan Hutton performed well, but he only faced Fletcher, but Livermore is different, his constant running affects the entire Manchester United, the front of the penalty area, including the left and right sides, Livermore is almost everywhere, he seems to be running tirelessly, occasionally Livermore will be directly passed, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is not a quick attack, soon Livermore will chase back.

Livermore's problems for United's attack have made him widely regarded as the best defensive player in the Millwall team.

Fletcher had some headaches with Livermore.

Fight with each other, neither of them is an opponent, it is not practical to fight for speed and explosiveness, and there is still a bit of a future in fighting technology, but what about passing each other? If you don't take the risk, you'll be caught up from behind.

Fletcher Livermore can't help it!

When he saw Livermore posting it, Fletcher planned to pass the ball to his teammates, but Alan Smith was very defended and it was a little unrealistic to pass forward, and the return pass meant that he was going to start the next wave of offensive, and the opportunity was gone, so he still chose to dribble the ball himself.

Fletcher's technique is indeed very good, he deceived Livermore with an acceleration change, but when it was time to chase the ball, Fletcher found that Livermore was firmly behind him, and he was able to catch up with him between two steps.

If you let this stupid big guy catch up, he will definitely be constantly entangled, and he may be easily knocked down when the time comes?

Or was the football kicked out by the opponent?

Fletcher can't even imagine!

Fletcher focused most of his attention on Livermore, ignoring the rest of Millwall's players, with Alan Hutton coming up and by the time Fletcher realised he was already caught in front and back.

It's the second time!

Fletcher looked at the football that was snatched away by the opponent, with a helpless wry smile on his face, and was about to turn around and make a 'sorry' gesture to his teammates, when he heard a loud yelling from the side, "Back to defense!" What are you doing! ”

Fletcher was so frightened that he noticed the figure with the ball in front of him.

That's Josh Simpson!

————

In the first half, Josh Simpson was almost ignored, just because his defensive ability was not very good, if he played against ordinary teams, he couldn't deal effectively against Manchester United, just one Fletcher, he didn't have much to do.

But now is the chance to play!

Manchester United was cut off in front of the ball, and the football was handed to Simpson, who ran wildly with the ball without even thinking about it.

He's very fast!

Speed is also the reason why Simpson can become the main force, his skills are only average, but when it comes to speed, few people in the team can compare with him.

Manchester United have been tackled up front, just turned to attack, and the only person who can limit Simpson on the flank is left wing-back Wes Brown, Brown is 27 years old this year, in the prime of his life, he has played for Manchester United since 1997, and has always been an important player for Manchester United.

As Manchester United's full-back, he can also be regarded as a big-name star, Brown can look down on Simpson, and Ferguson asked the players to pay more attention to Simpson before the game, but Brown found that the media reports were just hype, and this young player had no strength at all, and he didn't perform at all in one half.

"A young player from a small club really thinks he is a star when he is touted for a few words!"

Brown thought.

Seeing Simpson running over with the ball quickly, Brown met it head-on, he didn't care too much, just used the general defense to get close, and looked for an opportunity to steal directly, but what Brown didn't expect was that Simpson didn't plan to bring forward, and at the moment when the two were close, Simpson kicked the ball sideways, and then cut diagonally to the middle.

This sudden action prevented Brown from reacting.

By the time Brown realized that it was bad, it was completely too late to do anything, unless he twisted his waist into a twist, and it was impossible to catch up quickly.

Brown was easily passed!

Mike Johnson suddenly let out an excited shout on the stadium broadcast, "Simpson easily shook off Brown!" ”

The auditorium also became popular.

After Simpson dribbled laterally, he immediately found an opportunity to pass to Smitchell, who was inserted in the middle. Smitchell was a little far away, but it didn't stop him from meeting the ball and completing a pick-and-roll pass.

The ball bypasses Rio Ferdinand and crashes into the Manchester United penalty area!

Goalkeeper Van der Sar felt very uncomfortable when he landed the ball, because the distance is a bit far, and he may not be able to scramble, but he may face a direct header on goal.

Van der Sar has noticed the rushing figure!

In the end, Van der Sar chose to trust his teammates, and Sylvester rushed forward on his heels.

The next moment Van der Sar regretted it!

Sylvestre was squeezed by the opposing striker and couldn't jump at the first time, while the opposing striker jumped into the air and flicked his head to complete a rather brilliant shot.

Van der Sar made 'wonderful' comments, and it was precisely because of the brilliant shots that he didn't have time to make any saves, so he could only watch the football rush past him, then hit his head on the grass and jump several times to touch the net.

"The ball is in!"

"Millwall lead Manchester United 1-0 at home!"

"It was the ...... who scored the goal Darren Bent !! Mike Johnson's shouts were broadcast at the stadium and the name was remembered by many United fans.
