Chapter 111: There's Trouble Now!
When the score becomes 4-0, the game loses its meaning.
No matter how stubborn Dave Jones was, he also knew that Wolves had no chance, so he simply chose to make substitutions and let the substitutes come on to find their form.
This adjustment means abandoning the game.
Seeing that the opponent 'witty' conceded defeat, Zhang Yang also smiled and started the substitution, the first to be replaced was Neil Harris, who completed a hat trick, he went off the field alone, and he was replaced so that he had a chance to get the applause of the fans.
Neil Harris was a triumphant hero, waving to the stands as he walked off the field.
The Millwall fans applauded without hesitation.
As they walked out of the ring, Neil Harris and Curtis Weston clapped their hands and then hugged Zhang Yang.
It's just a very ordinary move.
The Sky Sports commentator interpreted, "Zhang Yang has no problems at Millwall, he has a good relationship with the players, and Millwall's big man Neil Harris recognises his ability." ”
Zhang Yang then brought on Tim Clancy and Barry Cogan to bring on the two substitutes to get used to it.
Both of these are the best of the benches.
Born in 1984 and now only 21 years old, Tim Clancy is a versatile player from Ireland who has made his way up in the Championship since his start in the Irish league.
Barry Cogan, also born in 1984, is a right-back who came through the Millwall Academy, and has always performed well, and is also a key young player for the club.
Wolves made three substitutions in a row, meaning manager Dave Jones gave up the game.
Zhang Yang also replaced three people.
At this point, the game is basically over, and all that remains is the 'activity time' for the substitutes to adjust to the game.
The game became very friendly.
Wolves' attacks were no longer as fierce and Millwall's counter-attacks were not very targeted, and the rest of the time became a warm-up drill for both teams.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the score was still 4-0 and Millwall beat Wolves by four goals at home to claim a home win and once again take all three points.
It's an exciting win!
Millwall had also won a lot before, but it was the first time that they had won so easily, scoring three goals in the first half, which made the game directly lose suspense, and the whole team was very relaxed.
Zhang Yang is also very relaxed.
In the second half, he didn't even use 'foreknowledge' anymore, he just sat in the dugout and watched the game with an appreciative eye.
Thanks also to Wolves boss Dave Jones.
Zhang Yang thought so, and when he shook hands politely, he put on a positive performance.
"Wolves have been working hard, but they haven't been lucky, if you change the pitch, you will win!" Zhang Yang held Dave Jones' right hand with both hands, constantly shaking it up and down.
Dave Jones was still angry that he was fooled by the 'other media', and he was even more angry when he heard these words, he looked at Zhang Yang with some shame, and said word by word, "Young man, we are indeed careless, but the game can't prove anything, and if we meet again next season, we will become serious!" ”
That means let Zhang Yang be careful.
Zhang Yang nodded and laughed, "Yes, I believe it, but only if we can still meet!" ”
"What did you say!"
Dave Jones was annoyed, he gave Zhang Yang a fierce look, and turned his head to the press conference.
Zhang Yang stood behind, thought about it carefully, and felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood, what he wanted to express was that Millwall may be promoted to the Premier League next season, and if the two teams are not in the same league, it will be difficult to meet each other again.
The other party probably thinks that he is laughing at him for not being able to continue coaching Wolves?
"Maybe."
Zhang Yang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, he didn't care about annoying an opponent.
Dave Jones went to the press conference first, and when he saw the many London media, he was embarrassed to think of being 'fooled' by their reports before the game.
So he didn't say a few words at all.
As the head coach of the losing side, he really didn't have anything to say after the game, he just defended the team a few words, "We didn't find our form. ”
"Millwall played well."
'They were lucky, they scored quickly in the first half before we were used to the game. In football, the first team to score always has an advantage......"
"If we meet next time, I'm sure we'll win."
From Dave Jones's words, you can hear that he is very unconvinced by the loss, and of course, except for some Wolfhampton media, no one else cares what he thinks.
Everyone is waiting for publicity.
Dave Jones had just left when Zhang Yang walked into the scene.
The two met in the hallway.
Dave Jones snorted arrogantly, and Zhang Yang smiled and said hello in a friendly manner, so that everyone in the aisle had a feeling of 'Zhang Yang is much more personable than Dave Jones'.
When Zhang Yang entered the press conference, some reporters felt the opposite, because he first talked about interviewing reporters, "There are reporters from London Sports News and English Football News, and I regret the ability of the stadium staff. As I'm sure everyone knows, Millwall has issued a statement rejecting interviews from both media outlets, so ...... Journalists from these two companies are asked to leave consciously. ”
Two large security guards came from behind.
That means 'if you don't leave unconsciously, the security guard will invite you out', and suddenly five people walked out of the venue with unwilling faces, and they were probably directly invited out of the stadium by the security guards.
Zhang Yang was satisfied.
After entering the press conference, he found that the number of people was a bit too much, and now there were dozens more reporters than before, and these people must have deliberately not come to interview, and they had to come to interview after seeing Millwall win the game by a big score.
This is the first step in 'beating the media'.
The media will not 'admit it' because of a failure, Zhang Yang knows these guys who think they 'control the right to speak' too well, don't give them a chance, otherwise their counterattack will be much more violent.
Although there were many more 'opposition' reporters in the audience, the leaders of the 'opposition' were kicked out, so they needed to be 'generous', and the next press conference was carried out smoothly, Zhang Yang said, "A big win is a happy thing, but for a league game, there is no difference between 4-0 and 1-0, and we will not add even one more point because of this." ”
'In the course of the game, our players played with feeling, our team played with form, which will bring confidence to the whole team, for any team, morale and feeling are very important, it will directly affect the future performance, I believe that is the biggest gain."
The next question session begins.
Zhang Yang showed his demeanor, he took every reporter's question seriously, especially about the game and the players, and answered it in a very detailed way, which made many reporters who asked 'regular' questions very satisfied.
When asked by a reporter about the question of 'winning heroes', Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Some people may think that the hero is Neil Harris, who scored three goals and completed a hat-trick performance; Some people may think that the hero is Jody Morris, who leads the team's offense and defense as the core, which will make the team perform well; Probably some people think it's me because I'm Dave Jones, the head coach...... But I don't see it that way! ”
"Football is an eleven-man sport, every game will have a good performance, or a bad performance, is all the players, coaches form a team, form a game, I think everyone is a hero, good performance, poor performance, including various coaches, staff, team doctors, managers, etc., everyone is the hero of the victory."
This 'somewhat official' answer won the affirmation of the media, and also made the reporters in the audience who were 'not bad' very depressed.
They want to hear the answer, 'I'm the hero.'"
So they have a reason to put the label of 'arrogance' on the young Chinese's head after the game.
But the other party didn't say that.
There is no way for them to pick out even the slightest problem from the 'official way' discourse.
Zhang Yang didn't have time to care what the reporters thought.
When Millwall won by a big score, the media couldn't make any 'negative coverage' at all, they didn't continue the pre-match conversation, and many media praised Millwall's performance.
"British Football Newspaper" and "London Sports News" are a bit 'silent'.
They were the most vocal critics before the game.
After the game, they didn't talk about Millwall at all, just talked about one score in the report, and they were in trouble: on the night of the game, many fans called to complain that their report was not true.
In just one night, Football received 27 telephone complaints and 11 written complaints; The London Sports News fared slightly better, with 15 telephone complaints and two written complaints.
Most of the complaints came from the Wolfhampton area.
The content of the complaint is that their report is untrue and is suspected of deceiving the public and stirring up public sentiment.
Among these complaints, one is representative.
That's from Wolves manager Dave Jones.
After the big defeat to Millwall, Dave Jones insisted that the loss was because the 'Millwall support media' deceived him, and when he returned to Wolfhampton, he was very unwilling to think anything, so he called the "British Football Newspaper" he had read to complain.
"You're in trouble now!" Dave Jones thought to himself.
