In the final 20 minutes of the game, Tottenham continued to maintain their attacking intensity, and in the final minutes, all their players surrounded and bombarded the Millwall defence.

Millwall, on the other hand, continued to defend solidly, with only Jamie Vardy up front.

However, until the last minute, Jamie Vardy was unable to get any chances, and Tottenham were unable to find the Millwall goal.

Millwall beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-2 over two legs to win the Carabao Cup semi-finals and qualify for the Carabao Cup final, where they will face Chelsea at the National Stadium for Wales, also known as the Millennium Stadium, for the Carabao Cup trophy.

After the game was over, Zhang Yang took the initiative to shake hands with Tottenham coach Jol, looked at the other party's bitter expression, and said, "You just lack a little luck." ”

'Maybe it's not enough, if only we had Vardy.'

Joel joked bitterly.

Zhang Yang laughed and didn't continue↓ After the handshake, it was the post-game press conference, Zhang Yang and Joel entered the venue together, but neither of them said much.

There's not much to say about this game.

Millwall switched to defensive counter-attack, the purpose is to be more likely to be interesting, Tottenham suffered in tactical response, suffered in squad strength, and also suffered in a little luck, the game has passed, the process is quite successful, there is nothing to say.

There is something to be said about the player's performance, with Zhang Yang praising Weston, "Curtis is quite good and I believe he will be the future of Millwall. ”

Journalists scoffed at this.

The future of Millwall?

Millwall has a better Vardy, Vardy is only a few days older than Weston, how can it not be Weston's turn to talk about the future, in addition, Weston is only a good performance, and concentrated in the first half, in the second half, Weston did not show much, his brilliant performance, and only that assist.

Just once, it doesn't prove anything!

There is no need to argue with journalists, he says that Weston is Millwall's future, from the heart, and Vardy is also good, but because he is so good, how likely is Vardy to stay in the team?

Maybe two or three seasons from now, Vardy will leave Millwall.

This is a very normal situation.

Very few stars only play for one team in their careers, and often the stars who are worthy of long-term play are century-old giants, such as Manchester United, AC Milan, Barcelona, there are many players who have played for a long time, but other players, including Millwall, are very few.

It's hard to say what the future holds.

Even Braniff and Livermore, it's hard to say how long they can play in Millwall, and even if he hasn't thought about it that far, he is not sure that he can coach Millwall for a long time, after all, the sky outside is so vast, maybe one day, he will be bored with continuous coaching, and he wants to change the environment.

Of the entire team, the most promising long-term player is Curtis Weston.

Weston is a true Millwall academy player, he is good but not 'excessive', he can find a place in the team, and it is not easy to continue to perform well.

Weston isn't the kind of talent that can suddenly rise.

It is precisely because Weston will not suddenly break out and has a very strong affection for Millwall that it is more likely to play for a long time.

So it would not be an exaggeration to say that Weston is the future of Millwall.

Even if you change to a head coach and don't think about Weston's ability, a player like Weston, who has been branded by Millwall and helped increase a youth spot, will not be easily abandoned.

After the Carabao Cup semi-finals, there was a week-long break when the players were given two days off with a big wave of their hand, and when it was time to regroup, Darren Ward and Konchesky were both back.

The team's lineup is back together, which is good news.

But the lineup only lasted for one day, and soon a new injury appeared, Smitchell and Pire were defeated by a cold, and the two veterans both caught a cold, and I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, it seems that the cold has become related to age, fortunately, it is not influenza, and the two can continue to train with the team after two days of rest, but in such a physical state, they must pay attention to care, otherwise the deepening of the cold is a big problem.

Traore then got injured in training.

Traore was deceived by Braniff's action when he was defending, and when he twisted his waist, he fell to the ground and sprained his ankle, and the doctor diagnosed him with more than half a month of rest.

"Be careful, don't move too much, don't get hurt!" After the afternoon training, Zhang Yang gathered all the players and told them emphatically, "Tomorrow's game is the same, try to pay attention to your movements, and if you feel too tired, you will immediately raise your hands to get off the field, I don't want to see someone because they are too tired, or for any other predictable reason, resulting in injury and guessing the field." ”

"It's not just the team's problem, it's going to affect you more!"

Zhang Yang was scared of being hurt.

Injuries are a big problem, a small one or two weeks to a big one, a month or two, or even longer, and Millwall's poor results last month are due to too many major injuries.

Now that most of the tragedy has recovered, he doesn't want to see a repeat of the tragedy.

On the second day of the league, Millwall beat Brakburn 2-1 away.

Millwall were fine overall, but Braniff was still the same problem, and he couldn't figure out when to dribble and when to link up with his team-mates.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as 'unfamiliar with their own ability', mainly because Braniff's dribbling ability has improved too quickly, and other players have been adapting step by step since they were teenagers, and have recently formed a unique style, finding a balance between cooperating with and dribbling the ball by themselves.

Braniff is a bit of a 'seedling', just like an ordinary person who suddenly accepts the transmission of martial arts masters, and suddenly gains a lot of internal strength, and it is difficult to make correct judgments against the enemy.

However, Braniff's performance was still outstanding, with a few exquisite dribbles occasionally, making Blackburn's defense not a good way, and one of the goals was also scored by Braniff's assist after the pass, and the Times rated Braniff after the game as a six, which can only be regarded as barely qualified data, but it is much better than the last morning out.

The Sky Sports commentator said of Branifer, "He's slowly getting back into shape, but his personal style seems to have changed, preferring to rely on his own ability to solve problems"

Many media have given Braniv one word - 'independence'!

It's not a good adjective, and professional football doesn't like players to be labelled as 'alone', which means they don't like to work with their teammates and concede more goals.

After the game, some media asked Zhang Yang, "Braniff is doing poorly, why don't you replace him?" ”

"I trust him!"

Zhang Yang said, "And it's my job to send who to play, and no one can dictate my work!" ”

These two words in defense of Braniff led the media to label Braniff as a 'flamboyant illegitimate child'.

That's a joke, of course.

Zhang Yang doesn't care what the media says, he just shows everyone that Braniff is a key player.

This is actually quite normal.

Every team has 'key players', such as Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson, who often lets Scorpions such as Fletcher and Richardson play, not to mention Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, in order to experience Fabregas, Senderos and other players, Arsenal has paid a lot of price.

The point is, there is a reward for developing players.

For example, Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas has become a midfielder after being trained, such a technical midfielder has been able to replace the past obstacles and become a heavyweight star, which also makes Arsenal no longer lack a midfielder.

Now Zhang Yang is going to train Braniff.

Braniff doesn't have to be trained like other young scorpions, he doesn't lack quality and experience, and it only takes a few games to adapt to it and he can probably perform well.

When Braniff adapts to the rapid improvement of his ability, he will become a good card in Millwall, and in the future, he will face opponents with top superstars, and Millwall will have enough confidence to face opponents with top superstars.

After the mid-month league breaks, it's time for the international break, with a ten-day break.

This time there is good news.

Players such as Darren Bent and Quaresma have not been included in their respective countries' squads due to previous injuries, and they can have time to rest.

Zhang Yang told all the players to take advantage of the rare free time to seriously adjust their physical condition, because Millwall is about to face a difficult schedule.

The Champions League is coming!

At the end of February, Millwall have two big games to go through, one at the Bernabeu, the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid, and the other against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final.

Both games were crucial.

The game with Real Madrid is two days before the League Cup final, relatively speaking, or the Champions League is more important, because it is a knockout round, if the first round is not good, it may be eliminated by Real Madrid, the League Cup final is related to the trophy, but the League Cup trophy and the Champions League round of 16 compared with the two aspects of bonus and influence, are not comparable, if it is because of the preparation for the League Cup final, the loss of the Champions League will definitely outweigh the loss.

Millwall and Real Madrid have little to do with each other.

One is the veteran giants of La Liga, the most valuable club in the world, and one of the top giants in the world, and the other is the upstart of the Premier League, the dark horse of the Champions League this season, who has almost no experience in European competition before.

Many Real Madrid fans are even hearing Millwall's name for the first time.

It's not the same with Christmas interludes.

Millwall and Real Madrid had no contact before, but with the oolong incident of 'Calderman please publicize', it feels very interesting, Zhang Yang openly played Calderon, Calder's IQ is not enough, and he also said controversial things.

Although Calderhill did not mention Millwall and Zhang Yang after Christmas, everyone knows that the new president of Real Madrid hates Zhang Yang, and Millwall is also hated incidentally.

When faced with a European clash with Millwall, Caldero will certainly ask manager Fabio Capello to be 'interesting'.

That's inevitable.

On the other hand, Millwall will also be motivated to play when they meet Real Madrid.

Unlike Calderon Real Madrid, which is unpopular, Millwall is the 'world' of Zhang Yang, and fans, players and even clubs will express their absolute support for Zhang Yang.

Millwall FC will not have a good impression of Calderon, who is 'poached', and Millwall fans will not.

Millwall's players are also looking to beat Real Madrid to give Zhang Yang a 'face' against Real Madrid and Calderón, and the Champions League is also what any team is looking for, and Millwall will certainly want to keep going.

That's the mentality of both teams.

Zhang Yang himself, in fact, against Real Madrid, there is not much difference from against other teams, if he can, he hopes that the opponent is a weak team.

Unfortunately, the results of the draw cannot be changed.

The flamboyant taro has always felt that Barcelona is more difficult to play than Real Madrid, but after studying the opponent, he doesn't think so, Real Madrid can beat Barcelona and rank first in La Liga, but it is not by luck.

Therefore, Zhang Yang's energy is focused on studying the style of play.

As for the 'personal grudge' with Calderon or something, Zhang Yang didn't consider it at all, because he didn't suffer any losses, the other party invited him, but he publicly refused.

That's all.

What the media hype doesn't make sense at all.

In the week leading up to the match against Real Madrid, Millwall were preparing for the game, and the coaching staff was also studying the omissions in the style of play based on the characteristics of Real Madrid's recent games.

Gradually, the game approached.
