So far, Reading have been doing well.

After nine rounds of the league, Reading has won four and drawn one, including a draw against Manchester United, and the good results have also boosted the confidence of the whole team.

Reading showed confidence when it came to facing Millwall, perhaps because they thought they knew Millwall well, having met in the Championship more than a season ago.

Reading fans don't care what Millwall have achieved in the Premier League, they want to beat Millwall, who need a win against a strong team to prove they are back to glory.

Speaking before the game, Chairman Madeischi said: "Last season, Millwall were in the Championship like us and now they are the reigning champions of the Premier League, but we have improved as well. The outside world says we don't have a chance, I don't think so, I believe Koper. ”

Reading deserve a lot of commendable fighting spirit, and they were tenacious in the early stages of the game.

It's a pity that the gap between the two sides is too big!

The Reading team's impression of Millwall is still stuck in last season, in order to make the team 'hope', they simply don't think about Millwall's glory last season, but not thinking about it doesn't mean that there is none, Millwall's squad strength is worse than Manchester United and Chelsea, and the Reading team has no way to compare.

Zhang Yang only sent a semi-substitute lineup.

The starting striker was replaced by Jamie Vardy, while the midfield duo of Sean Davies and Hamann did not even play Livermore, and his place was replaced by Smitchell.

In the face of such a lineup, the tenacity of the Reading team only lasted for 20 minutes.

"Vardy! Vardy! In the twenty-first minute, Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for Millwall! ”

"It's Quaresma's pass!"

'Quaresma has made two appearances for the team since recovering from injury, but he hasn't shown much, and this pass shows the skill of the Portuguese star!'

"We can note that Reading's interception of Vardy had no effect, they didn't seem to be able to guard Vardy at all!"

'Rivaldy has really grown this season and this is his fifth league goal for Millwall!'

……

Fifteen minutes later.

"Vardy ——!!!"

"A brace! Jamie Vardy helps Millwall to score the second goal! This is a slap in the face to the Reading team! They were still thinking of taking points away from Neil Stadium, but probably Millwall would be able to finish the game in just half time! ”

……

"Davis! Strike! Pretty! The ball is in! ”

"It was stoppage time in the first half and Davies scored the third goal for Millwall! The assist was made by Hamann, who was loaned to Millwall as a substitute in midfield, and he is still going strong and strong, bringing enough support to his teammates with his rich game experience! ”

'Sean Davies has improved this season and scored a goal in the third round against Middlesbrough, his second league goal!

————

Millwall scored three goals comfortably in the first half and it can be said that the game ended early.

Intermission.

The camera camera pointed to the Reading coach's box, the head coach Koper looked solemn, and then the camera pointed to the rostrum, Reading chairman Madeiski's expression was very serious, it seemed that he was not in a good mood, and even Wilkinson next to him took the initiative to speak, and did not make any response.

Now Madeisky, presumably, regrets provoking Millwall.

Millwall did not respond.

Whether it's ignoring Reading or not feeling the need to respond, after the game, the media will definitely analyze that 'Reading is not worth mentioning to Millwall'.

The point, it's a fact!

In the second half of the game, the Reading team still played very passively, let alone score, it was difficult not to concede a goal, Madeiski suddenly understood why Koper reminded him, "Don't talk openly about the game with Millwall", the gap between the two sides is too big, and it is not a team of the same grade at all.

Madeischi only realised what last season's Premier League title meant.

Millwall is no longer a small club, they are already a team that can wrestle with the European giants!

————

In the end, Millwall beat Reading 5-0 at home, and Jamie Vardy's hat-trick was the 'Man of the Match'.

Sean Davies and Quaresma each scored a goal.

Zhang Yang is most satisfied with Quaresma, at the beginning of the season, Quaresma's performance was not bad, but just a little adaptation, he was injured for a month, and after recovering from the injury, his form was affected, and he has been trying to give Quaresma a chance.

Now that Quaresma is improving, he can take a long breath.

Millwall were also short on the right, but Quaresma played well and was certainly a lot better than Simpson.

Simpson's strength lies in his good sense of movement, his performance in front of goal, he can be said to be a striker, always stepping in to find opportunities, Quaresma is a pure wide player, he doesn't come forward often, but he can give enough support to the front line on the wing.

The technical characteristics of the two men are different, but Quaresma can certainly contribute more than Simpson.

This point is not a flamboyant subjective judgment, but is analyzed from the results of the 'speech and spirit measurement'.

With the same lineup, Quaresma plays right midfield, which is one point more than Simpson's right midfield.

One point, but a lot.

When a player changes, it can be separated by one point, which is enough to prove that there is a big difference in the contribution of both sides to the team.

Quaresma can really make Millwall's right side 'fly', his personal ability, coordination ability and comprehensive quality are not comparable to the current Simpson, not that Simpson is not as good as Quaresma, he just plays right forward and can't compare, if he changes to the middle, Simpson is not much worse than Smitchell and Morris.

Therefore, Zhang Yang hopes that Simpson will be an 'all-round substitute in the frontcourt', rather than let him play on the right side that he is not very good at.

After the game against Reading, Millwall began to prepare for the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, and the whole team will travel to Italy to take on the home team Roma.

Just after the first leg between the two sides, Millwall beat Roma 2-1 at home, but the overall advantage was not played, and the outside world felt that Millwall could win, which was already quite remarkable.

Zhang Yang knows better how difficult the game really is.

Millwall won against Roma, but with home advantage and 'supernatural ability'.

The outside world doesn't know about 'supernatural abilities'.

Zhang Yang knew that without supernatural abilities, Millwall would lose head-on to Roma.

'Magical ability' is also a means, but it is enough to show that Rome is difficult to play, this round is an away game, what is the atmosphere of Italian football, the whole team has not experienced.

Zhang Yang is more worried.

When Millwall went to Rome, he experienced the 'enthusiasm' of the Roma fans from the airport, and thousands of Roma fans spontaneously went to the airport to 'greet' Millwall, but their greeting was not very friendly.

Those fans who sang the Roma anthem were quite gentle, and many Roma fans simply raised their middle fingers, burst out of all kinds of foul language, and held all kinds of signs of boycott Millwall in their hands.

From the airport to the hotel to the playing venue, Millwall felt the hostility of their opponents all the time.

The feeling in the game was even worse.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome is full of all kinds of noisy noise and noise, and more than 80,000 Roma fans are constantly influencing Millwall's performance with their shouts.

Whenever Millwall got the ball, the pitch became louder, mixed with various tones of 'boo', which directly affected the performance of Millwall's players.

Zhang Yang felt the surrounding environment, and couldn't help frowning.

The whole world is saying that England produces football hooligans, but the quality of Italian fans is not much higher than that of English fans, especially against teams like Roma.

80,000 fans!

That's a staggering number.

Millwall experienced the most popular game, and it was only at Old Trafford that they challenged Manchester United, and the quality of the United fans was not bad, and there were boos from the stands, but most of them were cheering.

It's not the same with Roma fans.

They don't seem to know how to cheer for the home team, and make noises completely to affect the away team's performance.

Zhang Yang actually thought badly.

Of course, Roma fans will cheer for the home team, but Roma lost to Millwall in the last game, and in the past week, the Italian media has not reported on Millwall, and a large number of media praise reports have also led Roma fans to generally believe that "the team goes to play normally, and it is difficult for Roma to beat Millwall." ”

This realisation has made Roma fans feel that it is more important to have a voice in influencing Millwall's performance.

Roma fans did it.

Millwall are still a young team, Darren Bent, Quaresma, Braniff and others are very young, and most of the other players do not have a lot of European experience, they are not used to the atmosphere here, and their performances have been affected.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Millwall almost conceded a goal.

Zhang Yang used 'walking the talk' to stop Pizarro's shot, so that the goal did not happen.

Then in the thirtieth minute, Darren Ward defended too much, squeezing out Vucinic in the box, and the referee awarded Roma a penalty.

Totti did it in one fell swoop!

1 to 0.

There was finally a huge cheer from the scene.

Millwall is rarely too passive, and Zhang Yang did not expect that the game against Roma would be so difficult, as it seems that the strength and performance of the two teams are not important, and the atmosphere of the away team plays a key role.

At the same time, Zhang Yang also realized that Millwall's experience was still too little!

If every player is like Zambrotta and Pire, in such a bad away game, how to play or how to play, then the game is definitely a different situation.

But that's later.

Now Millwall still have to face a poor away ......
