Chapter 465: It's a waste to have the ability not to use

PSV Eindhoven didn't know that they were not only tactically inferior, but also unlucky.

PSV Eindhoven's players were driven into the game and at half-time Koeman spoke to them about the importance of the game and everyone knew how important it was to get to the last four if they could beat Millwall.

That's a good result that everyone dreams of.

So the score was two goals behind and the game was very difficult, but PSV Eindhoven still did not lack fighting spirit, and they still took the game seriously and worked hard.

PSV Eindhoven's adjusted tactical play seems to have had a certain effect, at least on the field, much better than in the first half, they are not so passive, and gradually play some offensive, and the opponent does not dare to launch an offensive unscrupulously.

PSV Eindhoven's defensive pressure seems to have become much less.

It's not bad.

A lot of players were able to catch their breath in the game, not like in the first half, which lasted for a long time under the pressure of suffocating the defence.

PSV Eindhoven then began to try to find an attacking breakthrough.

Every player wants to have a breakthrough in attack, some is in the scoreline, the other is in morale, when they attack, the backfield players will become relaxed, they want to break through the Millwall goal, and the goal will be more likely to be eliminated.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes passed.

PSV Eindhoven also found that their desire to make a breakthrough in attack was a bit unrealistic, because in the past ten minutes, their several waves of attacks have not even played a decent anything, most of the attack has been stopped on the wing, and occasionally the ball is passed to the middle, and the teammates in the middle have not received it at all.

Eindhoven was distressed.

If they don't score for a long time, they will face a two-goal defeat at home.

————

Millwall will have to be more patient than PSV Eindhoven.

Millwall's offensive intensity was not as high as in the first half, but the normal offensive rhythm also made the team's cooperation more stable, and the whole team continued to use patient and meticulous cooperation to find the opponent's loopholes.

If there are no holes in the opponent's defense, then go and attack individually.

Braniff was at the heart of the attack.

This game can be described as 'shining all over the field', his dribbling ability and experience have improved rapidly in the past games, and the continuous breakthrough of the ball in the middle has also become one of the troubles of Eindhoven's defense.

Defending Braniff has been the Sergei Eindhoven centre-back Alex.

This player is interesting.

Alex is a PSV Eindhoven player, but the actual ownership is Chelsea FC.

Back in 2004, Chelsea bought Alex from Santos for £5 million, but because Alex had not played for the Brazilian national team at the time, his application for a UK labour certification was denied, and Chelsea were unable to sign a work contract with him, and Chelsea finally took a compromise approach to send Alex to Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

As a result of Arjen Robben's transfer, Chelsea and PSV Eindhoven have developed a close working relationship.

In order to 'repossess' Alex at a later date, there was a clause in the contract in which Chelsea sent Alex to PSV Eindhoven free of charge at any time for a nominal price of one dollar.

In January after Christmas, Chelsea considered recovering Alex early due to John Terry's serious injury and the lack of central defenders, but because Chelsea targeted the winter transfer to Bolton's Israeli centre-back Ben Haim, and PSV Eindhoven were going to play in the Champions League knockout rounds, and they were also very short of manpower, so Chelsea did not use the recycling clause.

Alex may be hoping to leave PSV Eindhoven and rejoin Chelsea, where the Premier League is much more attractive than the Eredivisie, and playing for PSV Eindhoven will only have the opportunity to increase his exposure in the Champions League.

But for now, Alex prefers to reduce his exposure and have no fans at all to watch the game, as he has been a complete failure in defending Braniff.

To borrow an old Chinese saying, "Alex is about to be shaken by Braniff and can't find the north!" ”

Braniff made full use of his quick reflexes, good technique and physical agility, and Alex couldn't keep up with Braniff's pace. The confrontation between Alex and Braniff is purely a feast on a coffee table, full of tragedy.

Since the start of the bout, Braniff has used ten different methods to shake off or pass Alex, and even once, Alex was simply shaken to the ground.

Pire also put plenty of pressure on Cullina on the left flank.

The Australian international, who has Croatian roots, is like a wooden stake when facing Pire, and his movements are very cumbersome except for the body where the pestle can block it.

Pire's age is not young, his fitness and physical flexibility are deteriorating, but the skills and experience are still there, and experience alone is enough to make Cullina suffer enough.

Braniff has an all-round advantage over Alex and Pire against Culina, so much so that Millwall's overall offense and defense against PSV Eindhoven are also all-round superior, and when Pire shook off Curina and passed the ball to Braniff again, he finally found a flaw in Eindhoven's defense.

This flaw was keenly captured by Braniff.

Braniff was again dribbling to Alex, who appeared to be pushing a pass to a team-mate from outside the box as Livermore had already rushed up.

Alex subconsciously tried to stop it, but Braniff slammed it and took the ball past the opponent.

Alex was so angry that he didn't know how many times he had been 'easily' deceived by the other party, and he turned around to chase back, but Braniff had already rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

Seeing Alex being passed away, Eindhoven didn't feel anything, they were all a little used to it, but they glanced at the situation and immediately became nervous.

This time Simmons didn't have time to retreat, Fehr was keeping an eye on Livermore, who was running back, and only one central defender, Salcido, had time to defend, but opposition striker Darren Bent also rushed into the box.

It's dangerous!

Salcido had no choice but to defend Braniff, and just as he had in mind, Blarniv didn't continue to dribble the ball, but passed it to the right side.

Darren Bent follows up with a push!

Goalkeeper Gomez reacted quickly and made a save immediately, but no matter how fast he reacted, he couldn't get past the football.

The next moment, the football rolls into the goal without any suspense!

"3-0, so far we can say that the suspense of the game is over!"

"Not only in the first leg, but in the second leg, it is almost impossible for PSV Eindhoven to equalize!"

"Darren Bent! Bent! But the goal was even more due to Branifer, Alex's defense against him was almost ineffective, he easily deceived Alex and rushed into the box to pass a good ball! All Bent has to do is push the ball into the net! ”

"Gomez is perhaps the most pitiful. He had to keep facing shots the whole game, he worked hard and saved a couple of good shots, but he still picked up three balls in the goal, which was probably the saddest job......"

The shouts of the British BBC commentators were quite gloating.

————

Darren Bent's goal completely ended the suspense of the game.

PSV Eindhoven could not have scored three goals to equalise, but they continued to attack Millwall under the command of Koeman.

There is no suspense left in Eindhoven.

Not only this game, if they can't score, the suspense of the second leg will end early, and they must continue to persevere and continue to work hard.

But Millwall didn't let PSV Eindhoven go, and every player remembered what they said before the game, that their goal was to complete the goal of two rounds in one round, and to score as many goals as they could.

That's the goal.

So when the game resumed, Millwall continued to attack PSV Eindhoven, and continued to suppress PSV Eindhoven with tactics and play, constantly looking for opportunities in front of goal.

PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomez's 'miserable work' didn't end with three goals scored.

He's going to keep going.

In the 80th minute, Livermore's 23-metre shot hit the post straight onto the post, and before PSV Eindhoven could rejoice, Darren Bent, who was following him, kicked the ball into the back of the net.

"4 to 0!"

"Darren Bent scored twice! Millwall continues to extend their lead! ”

"PSV Eindhoven would never have imagined that they would play such a miserable game against Millwall against England and London against them, conceding four goals at home!"

PSV Eindhoven were kicked to the ground.

Everyone thought the game was going to end here, Millwall were four goals ahead, so why should they stop? The same team participating in the Champions League, even if it is not in the same league, there will be times to deal with it in the future, how can you save more face, score four goals is about the same, no matter how advantaged you are, you must also save some face for the home team away from home.

Fans think so.

PSV Eindhoven players thought so.

Even some Millwall players thought so, four goals had already achieved the goal, and PSV Eindhoven would not have a chance in the next leg.

So...... So be it!

However, Zhang Yang's idea is different, because up to now, the ability of 'following the word' has not been used, and it is a bit of a waste to give it up like this.

When I played the game in my previous life, near the end of a game, the ultimate move was not used, and it had to be used on the spot, so it would be smooth all over the body, and now it's a football game, in fact, the meaning is almost the same, and it's a huge waste to have the ability not to use.

So as the game drew to a close, and it was already stoppage time, Darren Ward was seen rushing to the front, about 20 meters away from the goal, symbolically waving his foot at the football, and Zhang Yang quickly used his ability-

"Goal!"

The two Chinese pronunciations seemed to have magic, reflecting on Darren Ward's body, and then Darren Ward felt that his state was very brave, as if he could play the most comfortable kick in his career so far in an instant, and Darren Ward swung his right foot according to the feeling.

The ball surged off the grass and across a low trajectory, past Simmons, past Alex and then past goalkeeper Gomez, and the moth swooped into the net......
