Sky Sports is the largest football broadcaster in English football, and they have continuously bought out the exclusive rights to broadcast the Premier League and the Championship, and they spend nearly a billion dollars on television every year.

With such a big investment, it's only natural that Sky Sports will attach great importance to live football matches.

It is remarkable that Belu Elson can be a commentator for a Premier League match on Sky Sports, even if he is 'bottom' in the support rankings.

Belu Elson serves as a commentator, with not handsome looks, or a unique style of ridicule, or like Lineker, who is a big star, he doesn't even account for a few aspects, and he relies on the professionalism of the commentary.

If you want to make fans satisfied without relying on external forces and mediating in normal language, you must put in more efforts.

That's the case with Belu Elson, who has been in the role for almost a decade and has a habit that hasn't changed since he started as a commentator, and that is to study both teams carefully before commentating.

Whenever there is a commentary job, Belu Elsen not only remembers the key players and their numbers for each side, but also the substitutes and numbers, and he also carefully studies each player's resume, recent performances and other game-related matters.

Listening to the game narrated by Belu Elson, it is easy to hear a flurry of stats.

It's not easy to do.

It's like Millwall, there are a lot of players who are unknown, and ordinary fans don't know the resumes of those 'unknown fringe players', and it's not easy to find information.

The fact that Belu Elson was able to do this is enough to show that he is serious about his work.

This habit has lasted for ten years until now, and Belu Elsen can be sure that he knows more than 95 percent of the players.

Millwall is special.

Millwall were promoted to the Premier League for the first time in history, and Belu Elson had to look up the information carefully before the game, and after careful research, he found that the team was exactly what the media had described it as: basically no strength.

Millwall's players, most of whom lack top-flight experience, are now in the starting line-up, including striker Braniff, right wing-back Josh Simpson, midfielder David Livermore, left wing-back Joey Healy, plus Wes Morgan and Barry Cogan, all of whom are making their Premier League debuts.

Among the other players, Darren Bent and Jody Morris have only made a few appearances.

Such a team with poor squad strength and no Premier League experience really has no advantage in playing against Premier League powerhouse Blackburn, and Belu Elson also believes that Millwall will definitely be passive, and the first league game can only be used to learn from experience.

As for beating Blackburn?

Hard!

It's a game that is hard to understand, and without talking about two goals in ten minutes, Millwall have kept Blackburn Rovers at bay and their advantage looks to be growing as the game progresses.

'Millwall were doing quite well and their players seemed to be relaxed on the pitch. They continued to use fast attacks to suppress Blackburn, and it was not easy for Blackburn to attack! Belu Elson said in surprise, also carefully watching Millwall's attack.

Millwall's attacking highlights were few.

If you really talk about the merits, there are only two descriptions - fast, fluid, no matter what the attack, Millwall played very quickly, counterattacked quickly, and advanced forward quickly.

Blackburn's defense, which doesn't seem to cause much trouble.

Millwall's coordination was also fluid, and it was surprising that every player in the Millwall team seemed to adapt to the game and performed very well.

But how is this possible?

————

It wasn't just Beru-Elson who was surprised.

The reporters in the media box had long been stunned, and they had thought before the game that Blake would have suppressed Millwall.

Now it's the other way around.

The game and what they thought were completely reversed.

The media reporters didn't know what the situation was, and they all watched the game in a daze.

Millwall fans were so excited that they didn't think about 'why Millwall played so well', the important thing was that the team had a two-goal lead and completely suppressed Blackburn.

This kind of game scene is what they want to see the most.

Every Millwall fan was in a good mood, and even the most optimistic fans felt that the game was unexpected.

That's Blackburn, a real Premier League powerhouse!

Last season, Millwall was very confident against their Championship opponents, but they were only Championship opponents, and now that the opponents have become Premier League teams, why does it seem that the team is playing more relaxed?

It was a very exciting situation for Millwall fans, who chanted from the stands, and Neil Stadium was filled with cheers, and when Millwall went on the attack, the cries became even more violent, as if the game had already scored.

The roar of the field made Millwall brave, and Blackburn on the other side didn't feel good.

Mark Hughes stood on the sidelines.

He hasn't sat down since Millwall scored his first goal.

With more than thirty minutes to play, he already knew what Blackburn was about.

This Millwall is not easy to deal with!

Not only is it difficult to deal with, Blackburn has reached an extremely dangerous situation: when the team is two goals behind, they can't even play the advantage of the situation, and they are completely suppressed by Millwall.

Incredible!

If you are facing top teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United, the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, which is actually normal, but the opposite side is only Millwall.

Millwall...... Nothing more!

How did the game come to be like this?

Mark Hughes watched carefully for a long time, and he could only come to one conclusion: Millwall played better, the players played well, the overall coordination also played well, the whole court tight defense was very calm, and the offensive rhythm was also very fast.

But in short, it's still a word, Millwall's play is good.

Why play well?

Mark Hughes can only be attributed to chance.

————

Contrary to Mark Hughes's seriousness, Zhang Yang was sitting in the coach's box, chewing gum in his mouth, fiddling with a deck of playing cards in his hand, and occasionally turning his head to say a few words to Wise next to him.

When the camera pointed over, I saw Zhang Yangzheng laughing, as if he had heard something interesting.

What does that look like......

"Is he here for a tourist?" Beru-Elson couldn't help but complain at the corners of her mouth.

Zhang Yang's performance was too relaxed.

The game on the pitch was going on intensely, and he seemed to have come to visit, the game had nothing to do with him, he didn't even pay much attention to it, the weird thing was here, he was indeed the manager of Millwall.

"Did he deliberately show ease?" "That might make the Millwall players feel like the game is easy and they can play better." ”

If Zhang Yang knew what Beru Elson said, he would definitely be dumbfounded, "What this guy said really makes sense!" It's hard to even refute it......"

Zhang Yang is indeed relaxed, because it is already clear what will happen next.

At this point in the game, Zhang Yang's biggest gain was not the two goals on the field, but the new tactics played the desired effect, just like Mark Hughes's opinion: Millwall every player performed well, and the overall cooperation also played well.

This is the effect that Zhang Yang wants to see.

There is no complexity in the new tactics, and Millwall's style of play is also very straightforward, which is traditional English football, and there are only a few offensive methods, while the new tactics are based on 'words and spirits', and are tailor-made for Millwall.

It is a tactic that measures the overall strength of each player based on their ability.

Tactics really don't have any direct highlights, but they just allow each player to give full play to their strength, without sacrificing anything for the overall tactics.

That's the point.

To use a statistic as an analogy, Blackburn's squad is stronger, their average ability level of a single player reaches ten, but eleven players play, most of the players have to sacrifice for tactics and cooperation, and the overall strength they can play is only half, that is, about fifty-five.

Millwall's squad is weaker, and the average ability level of a single player can only reach eight, but the tactics are tailored based on the ability of the players, and the overall strength of the eleven players may reach more than seventy.

That's where the new tactic comes in: maximizing the performance of individual players to maximizing overall performance.

Every player in the Millwall team can play well, and the team can suppress Blackburn.

————

on the pitch.

Millwall's players are feeling pretty good.

In fact, they didn't have much confidence before the game, many of them were making their first Premier League appearances, Millwall were only promoted and their opponents Blackburn Rovers were old powerhouses.

Zhang Yang's words to let the whole team 'score more goals' brought a lot of confidence to the players.

The managers have said that and it shows that the game will be easy and they don't have to go under pressure.

When it came to the game, Millwall became more and more confident, and they found that the opponent was not as difficult as they imagined, and the two goals in the first ten minutes made all the players more confident.

What are you afraid of with two goals?

When the players relaxed, the performance got better.

As the game progressed, their confidence grew, their performance became more and more composure, and the pressure on Blackburn became stronger and stronger.

Blackburn felt the opposite, playing more and more passively, and many players felt that they were playing against a big team rather than a promoted team.

It's a weird feeling!

Blackburn were not reconciled, and they tried to organize attack after attack to try to get back into the game, only to be met with defeat after defeat.

Blackburn's overall morale has taken a hit.

"The game seems to be different from what the coach said!"

"Where is this Millwall team easy to deal with...... Maybe it's almost ...... the other way around."

“……”

In the fierce clash between the two teams, the fortieth minute passed in the blink of an eye.

Millwall's continued fast-paced offensive campaign has forced Blackburn to lift their spirits and keep defending tightly, and Blackburn's supporters are also worried about the team's goal, hoping that the team can bounce back and find their form to play a decent counter-attack, but the game seems to be getting worse and worse.

Darren Bent is in front of the penalty area.

He chose to join Millwall in order to have more opportunities to play, but being able to start in the first game of the league still represents the importance that the manager attaches to himself.

Bent wanted to repay with performance, for a striker, scoring goals is equal to performance, but the team's two goals had nothing to do with him, and the game was less than half-time, and he also felt some pressure.

Bent feels like he's in great shape and seems to be able to play whatever he wants with the tactics the manager has in place.

This time, when he saw the opponent stealing the ball, he ran to the position and counter-attacked, and then passed the ball to Morris behind him.

Morris was about to run backwards, but when he saw Bent snatch the ball back, he immediately stopped his footsteps, met the rolling ball, and used the instep of his right foot to kick the ball to the left.

There is Konchesky to keep up!

Konchesky rushed to the front and ran to the ball, and it was a big foot!

Hang pass the forbidden area!

Millwall's tempo was too fast, from counter-attacking in front of the penalty area, to diagonal passes to the left, to hanging passes into the penalty area, and the continuous changes in football positions made it difficult for Blackburn to react.

Many Blackburn Rovers players can only watch the football fly by, with a defensive centre-back and an opposing player at the landing point.

That's Darren Bent!

————

When Bent completed the counter-attack and handed the ball to Morris, Belu Elson couldn't help but sigh, "The football has been snatched away by Millwall again!" ”

As the game approached halfway, Blackburn didn't put together a decent attack.

As soon as Belu Elson's words fell, he saw the football being passed into the penalty area, and he immediately exclaimed, "Look at this ball!" ”

Many fans also exclaimed.

Sidelines.

I don't know when, Zhang Yang finally immediately coached the bench, standing on the sidelines, his eyes were burning at the ball in the air, and at the moment when the football fell, he spit out two words in his mouth, "Score!" ”

Mysterious sonic mapping to Dalen Bent.

In fact, Zhang Yang hesitated for a long time before deciding to 'help' Darren Bent, because the suspense of the game was not big, and he didn't plan to use his ability to interfere, but the target was Darren Bent.

For a long-time Championship player, it's important to find confidence in the Premier League.

Now is the time for Bent to find confidence.

Darren Bent will be the most important striker in the team, and if he finds his confidence, the rewards may be unprecedented.

"Must enter!"

Zhang Yang clenched his fists and looked at it seriously.

————

During the pre-season preparation period, the wing hoisted a high pass to the penalty area, and the striker players went to grab points, and I didn't find how many times I played similar cooperation, but training is training after all, and the environment of the actual game is different.

Seeing the football fly over, Darren Bent also felt the pressure.

But the moment the football fell, he suddenly felt that his state seemed to be surprisingly good, so good that he couldn't believe it.

That's a real feeling.

There are also closely guarded opponents next to him, but Bent feels that it doesn't matter anymore, because he can confidently send the ball into the goal with confidence whether there is an opponent blocking it or not.

Finally the football flew over.

Bent glanced at the football, then at the goal, and his eyes were almost closed for a moment, and he didn't pay attention to it, just squeezed his side, jumped hard, and then slammed the ball with the top of his head.

"Bang!"

There was a sound for a moment.

"Header!" Beru-Elson shouted.

"Goal! Goal! Goal! Zhang Yang didn't listen to the thoughts, and in the constant chatter, the football flew towards the near corner. The Blackburn goalkeeper reacted and made a save, but the ball was a little fast and he couldn't get his hands on it despite his best efforts.

Everyone's eyes also followed the trajectory of the football and rushed into the goal.

Time seemed to stop for a moment.

The next moment, Neil Stadium completely broke out!

PS: I saw a lot of book friends complaining about the update, but Xiao X didn't break out, and there was no less change...... Well, it seems that you can only take off your pants when you ask for a monthly pass......
