"Simpson! He scored the first goal! Millwall lead home PSV Eindhoven! The shouts of the BBC radio commentators in the United Kingdom were set against the backdrop of the silence of the vast majority of the fans at the Philips Stadium.

PSV Eindhoven fans are quite disappointed.

They were expecting a win over Millwall, but PSV Eindhoven had shown that they were 'not at all' and everyone was frustrated.

Many fans still remember last month's Eindhoven home game against Arsenal, when Eindhoven was also suppressed, but definitely not to such an extent.

Why is this happening?

Could it be that Millwall is so much better than Arsenal!?

Eindhoven fans are a little unacceptable, in their impression, Arsenal is a well-known Champions League giant, Millwall is just a new small club, this kind of ball will not perform well in Europe, at least not as good as the traditional giants, but also as the 'Champions League defending champion' Arsenal.

PSV Eindhoven defeated Arsenal, why did they play such a passive game in the face of Millwall!

The thoughts of PSV Eindhoven fans are also the thoughts of many Dutch media, but they are more rational than the fans, and when they see the game in front of them, and then analyze Millwall's ranking first in the Premier League, the Champions League group and the strong elimination of Real Madrid, they can also be sure of one thing, "Millwall is much more difficult to play against than Arsenal!" ”

The game at hand will make sense.

Just 'some', of course.

Even if Millwall were the top club in Europe, PSV Eindhoven would not be so far apart that some Dutch media outlets began to criticize Koeman's conservative tactics.

That's the root cause.

If it weren't for conservative tactics, Millwall wouldn't have had such a big advantage on the field.

The media are just bystanders.

They can criticize the team that is not performing well without taking any responsibility, just like some readers who are not happy to read it and criticize a few words.

This is their right.

As an author, the situation is different, because the author needs to write a work, but not according to his own mood, to read the previous suitable, the process of writing is not easy, even if the reader criticizes more, it cannot make the author's level suddenly higher.

This is the case with Koeman.

He's the manager.

Leading the team as a head coach is not as simple as the media says, he needs to consider the opponent's situation and how to formulate tactics to best beat the opponent.

After this process, the conclusions drawn are not necessarily correct.

Now Coman had to pay for the wrong conclusion, he had prayed to God that Millwall would not score, but in the end God recognized him as a 'heretic', and the blessing must have been gone, so Millwall scored.

Koeman felt very helpless, and what was even more helpless was that he made a big tactical mistake, and it was impossible to make temporary adjustments to the defensive counter-attacking style of play, and even halftime was not enough, even if he forced to make adjustments, it depended on whether the players could adapt quickly.

These are uncertain.

All we can do now is to continue to pray to God...... Of course, Koeman was able to do something as he quickly walked to the sidelines, shouting at the team to 'keep defending up' and even specifically telling the strikers to drop back.

PSV Eindhoven players were depressed.

They played defensive counterattacks, but the defense was there, but the counterattacks were almost invisible, the game process was simply like years, and the head coach Coman asked them to continue to retreat?

Isn't that a half-time offensive and defensive drill!?

However, Coman is still very authoritative, and the PSV Eindhoven players have opinions, so they can only hold it in their hearts and do what Coman says.

When the game resumed, the Dutch media found that PSV Eindhoven's 'few' counter-attacks had disappeared.

When Millwall attacked, PSV Eindhoven even the strikers would retreat to participate in the defense, and seemed to have completely given up the idea of counterattacking, even if PSV received a pass, the attack was very boring, that is, the two wings would rush up, and even in the middle of the midfield, there would be a player pulling back, ready to deal with Millwall's attack at any time.

This kind of game is really a wretch!

Dutch journalists feel embarrassed in front of their British counterparts, and they even want the game to be faster, so what does it mean to play such a humiliating game?

PSV Eindhoven is playing at home!

It's really sad to play a game at home that allows the opponent to 'attack at will'.

The Dutch media felt that PSV Eindhoven had disgraced Dutch football, and looking at the game in front of them, they had already figured out how to report after the game.

Criticize!

Tough criticism!

Let everyone know how much of a bag Koeman's PSV Eindhoven is against England!

————

Eindhoven's appearance of stubbornness was very unexpected.

The media, the fans didn't expect it, and neither did Millwall.

This kind of tactical defense that relies on crowds and dead faces is absolutely very rare in the Champions League, and few teams will play like this 'shamelessly'.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but give Koeman a thumbs up.

Awesome!

Koeman's determination is also a testament to his managerial quality, and the best option for PSV Eindhoven at the moment is to defend with the whole team and delay the time until half-time. As long as it can be delayed until the end of the first half, the 'tactical mistakes' before the game will be compensated.

PSV Eindhoven also only conceded one goal, and in the two legs, one goal doesn't decide anything.

But will they be able to drag it out until the end of the first half?

Zhang Yang smiled.

PSV Eindhoven's defence was solid and Millwall couldn't find much of a chance in front of the 'crowd tactics', but with 31 minutes to go, Zhang Yang went straight to the sidelines.

He has to make adjustments, too.

Zhang Yang called Braniff, whispered to him, and then decided to replace-

The Simpsons down!

Morris on!

When it was noticed that Millwall were going to replace Simpson, everyone was feeling a little incredulous.

Substitution?

Millwall are playing so well, why did they choose to make substitutions? It is even more incomprehensible that Simpson was replaced.

Simpson scored the first goal.

In terms of performance on the field, Simpson is also quite good, and his cooperation with Braniv has brought the entire Millwall midfield to life, leaving PSV Eindhoven completely passive and can only choose to retreat comprehensively.

At this point in time, Simpson was replaced.

Why?

The BBC radio in the UK asked the fans, "Why replace Simpson?" His performance was the best. Judging from the camera, Simpson is not injured, he is fast and healthy. ”

The TV broadcast also played back the past footage, and did not find that Simpson fell to the ground, just before the fourth official raised the substitution card, Simpson also had a forward sprint, his body was very flexible, and he was definitely not injured.

Everyone didn't understand it anymore.

"Did Millwall release the water on purpose?" Some PSV Eindhoven fans even think so, and they are also extremely optimistic.

Some media speculated that Simpson had some conflict with Zhang Yang, but when Simpson got off the field, he hugged his teammate Morris, took the initiative to take the water bottle handed over by Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang patted Simpson on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up, Simpson was happy, and he couldn't see anything wrong at all.

What the hell is the reason!

Millwall's incomprehensible substitution choice made all media reporters and fans have a desire to explore.

Then the game continued.

Five minutes later, some media outlets analyzed the reason, "Livermore's position is premised!" ”

The back waist is front-mounted!

Zhang Yang made small changes to the style of play.

Some British media who know Millwall immediately understood the reason, in the Premier League, Millwall encountered small clubs, and occasionally used this style of play. The three midfielders in the middle, Livermore as a midfielder, are positioned forward in the forward position, and the two forwards are slightly pulled back.

This will allow Livermore's long-range shooting ability to be maximized, and it is the only magic weapon to break through the dense defense!

"Millwall has dealt with PSV Eindhoven as a 'not an opponent' small ball club!"

The exclamation of the British journalist made the Dutch counterparts wonder.

Soon they understood.

PSV Eindhoven didn't understand Millwall's 'midfield' style of play, and they were baffled by Millwall's adjustments, with Simpson being substituted to give them a long breath and a feeling that the game would be better.

But then they faced heavy artillery bombardment again and again!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The roar of the cannon at the Philips Stadium also ushered in crises again and again at the gate guarded by Gomez.

There is nothing Eindhoven can do about it.

They have compressed the formation and set up a solid defensive line in front of the penalty area, but the opponent's back, the unusually strong guy, is more than 20 meters away, sometimes as long as 30 meters, and directly chooses to shoot.

How can this be defended?

They can't push the dense defence that far, otherwise they will give the opposing striker a chance to play together and the threat of shooting in the box is higher.

For the rest of the year, PSV Eindhoven's defence was in a state of contradiction.

Gomez is counting seconds like years.

Gomez tensed his nerves all the time, as if football could always be far away, rushing towards him with a gust of wind.

In the space of five minutes, he had already saved three balls.

Such a high-frequency save is actually nothing, the key is that after three pounces, he felt a secret pain in his fingers.

"Is it hurt?" Gomez has a sense of fear in his heart.

So when he faced the same shot next, Gomez was half a beat slower, and by the time he got into position, the ball had already rushed into the goal.

“Goooooooooal！！！”

"Livermore! Livermore! A long-range shot from the perimeter! Pretty! Very exciting! ”

'For Livermore, it was probably no different from shooting in the box, PSV Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomes was the most pitiful, he needed to concentrate on making saves, he had done well before, but it turned out that he couldn't ......save all the time.

"The score became 0-2, and Millwall, who were playing away, were two goals ahead!"

"If you only look at this half, there is no suspense in the confrontation between the two sides, PSV Eindhoven is not an opponent at all, and Millwall may be able to celebrate in advance to reach the last four of the Champions League!"
