Chapter 601: A New Record of Undefeated
After Millwall completed the goal, many Villa fans were a little disappointed, obviously the team performed well, the goal belonged to the other party, and their confidence in winning was much weaker.
is like the analysis of Millwall by many media, "Their frontline is the most efficient in England and even in the whole of Europe." ”
That's the way it is now.
The two sides were in a balanced attacking situation, which could create more threats for Millwall, and it was Millwall who scored first.
What are Villa's chances of winning?
On the contrary, the players on the pitch of Villa did not lose confidence because they felt that it was normal to be behind: Millwall are Premier League champions, Champions League winners, and now they are also top of the league table, so what's so strange about being ahead?
The Villa players didn't take it to heart, they had been prepared for a long time, the goal did not affect their performance, after the game restarted, they still fought very hard, played very crisply, continued to play steadily, and tried to fight for the initiative of the game.
This performance is surprising.
Many media commentators also began to praise Villa, "From the game, we can see that Villa showed a great competitive appearance, and in the face of the score behind, they still performed well, as if the score had not been rewritten. ”
"This mindset is correct."
"There is definitely a gap between the two sides, but no matter how much the gap is, no matter what the score is, you must play normally to win the opportunity to equalize and win."
Villa's good performance made the game very exciting, and there were chances for both sides in the rest of the game, but in the end the first half was over and the score was not rewritten.
Intermission.
Millwall's mentality was good, they didn't have a pressing effect in the first half, but they had a goal and the lead was always easy.
Zhang Yang is also very satisfied with the performance of the whole team.
Villa's performance was unexpected, but the team also performed well, not being affected by the opposition's good form, and maintaining what they said before the game was "solid".
As long as you can maintain "steady", it will definitely be no problem to win.
The Millwall players also felt relaxed and enjoyed the close match.
Zhang Yang praised the performance of the players and told everyone to keep playing like this.
Home team dressing room.
The atmosphere at Villa was a bit heavy, the players were mostly worried about falling behind, they were still very positive in the game, and as soon as they stopped, they started to worry about the score.
Martin O'Neill didn't care, he also praised the players' performances, maybe Villa deserve more praise than Millwall, they really played 100 per cent, "everyone was doing very well. Don't think about the score! It's just bad luck to be behind! ”
"To be honest, your performance was what I expected, and even though we were behind, finding the feeling of the last game was more important than winning."
'If you can perform like this every game, I believe you will be able to finish in the top six or even the top four in the league.
This statement made many players raise their heads.
Martin O'Neill explained, "Think about it, there are a few teams in England who dare to play against Millwall and not fall behind! ”
"Even Arsenal didn't dare, some of you watched Millwall and Arsenal play, some didn't, but everyone who watched them, they all knew how Arsenal played, and they even gave up the way they were good at."
"Other teams, Liverpool? Chelsea? They don't dare to say that they can match Millwall! So we did a great job! ”
"So, let's play according to this feeling, and even if we lose the game, we win!"
Martin O'Neill's statement has brought the Villa players back to their senses.
And they were right when they thought about it.
Which team can go head-to-head with Millwall and still be evenly matched? Arsenal can't do it, Liverpool and Chelsea can't do it either, if you really find a team in England, you can only talk about Manchester United.
Will Manchester United be able to do it?
Not necessarily.
So they did a really good job, as long as they kept performing and found their feelings, what if they lost? If you play with that feeling, you will definitely win more games.
Second.
Neither side made adjustments and no quick substitutions.
The game continued.
Many thought that Villa would be weaker in the second half, after all, a sudden good performance could not last the whole game.
But Villa still played well, even better than in the first half.
From the 49th minute to the 55th minute, they launched a continuous attack on Millwall in the half for nearly six minutes, which also made the cries of the fans in the stands higher and higher.
Millwall held the back of the net.
But it was still very dangerous in the middle and Villa took the opportunity to find two good chances, one with the ball out of bounds and the other with direct danger, which Graham barely saved and couldn't let the opponent equalise.
Millwall then made a steady wave of advancement, and the two sides once again fought fiercely, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions also accelerated.
The competition became very intense.
At this time, Zhang Yang regretted that he didn't choose the 352 style of play, if it was a 352 style of play, the front and back would be more closely connected, more adaptable to the fast pace, and he would definitely be able to gain an advantage in the fierce offensive battle.
But the blame is that Villa are doing too well, and they are really surprised.
In order to ensure that he could defeat his opponent, Zhang Yang couldn't help but shoot, and in the 69th minute, he used "words and words" to bless Braniff's temporary state, and the effect was really good.
Braniff shook two players in succession, gained form in the six-yard box, and instantly crossed the opposition centre-back again and kicked a wonderful spinning arc from a tight angle, and the ball went around the goalkeeper and into the goal.
As the ball flew into the goal, the whole stadium erupted.
Not only the Millwall fans who came, but also many Villa fans, couldn't help but applaud, football knows no borders, such a wonderful performance, will make all fans feel amazed.
Braniff shook off three men, two of them in the box, and the goalkeeper also blocked the near corner from a tight angle on the baseline, and with almost no angle, he was able to kick the inside of the instep arc and turn the ball into the goal, which was unimaginably difficult.
However, he scored the ball!
"Hoo ......"
There was a long buzz of discussion in the audience, and all camera shots pointed to Braniff, and the game commentator also excitedly said, "This will definitely be the best of the round!" No, maybe it's going to be the best of the season, I can't imagine any goals that can compare to that! ”
"Those so-called 'best' goals, compared to this one, are simply weak!"
"Bottom line dead end! There is no angle, but the ball turns around the goalkeeper! Genius-like imagination, genius play, and even more genius footwork! ”
Braniff was also quite excited.
The noble Mr. Braniff, naturally, did not bother to take the initiative to hug others, he just silently ran back to his own stadium, as if the goal was nothing to him, when Pire gave a thumbs up and took the initiative to come over and praise, Braniff stopped and said simply, "Nothing!" It's just that the position can go in, so it's kicked. ”
"That kind of goal can go in, it's amazing!" Barragan also came over and shouted.
Braniff glanced at him disdainfully and said, "That's my shot, isn't it a matter of course?" ”
Barragan was so blocked that he almost vomited blood, and said in his heart that he knew that you were very powerful, so he didn't need Niu B to do this, right?
In the end, it was Livermore, who ran over and hugged Braniff, who wanted to refuse, but he couldn't stand Livermore's strength, and he couldn't refuse at all, and he pulled it over as a bear hug.
After letting go of his arm, Braniff gasped several times and ran away at breakneck speed, vowing to stay away from this guy when he scored goals in the future.
Barragan spat fiercely next to him, "Bully the soft and afraid of the hard bastard!" ”
————
Millwall scored two goals and the game was largely out of suspense.
Villa were still very good in the end, they didn't care about the win or defeat, they just focused on the game, and Millwall relaxed a lot after scoring the advantage, and in the 78th minute, Braniff received a pass from Pire, pressed the penalty line and fired hard, scoring twice to give the team a three-goal lead.
Villa's efforts also paid off before the end.
Taking advantage of a corner, striker Ashley Young flanked back and set up Villa to pull a goal back.
It was Villa's only goal of the game.
Although it was just a goal, far from an equaliser, the Villa fans cheered excitedly and they were proud of the team's performance.
The media also gave Villa a positive evaluation, "This game is not about the score, Villa are in good shape at home. We saw in the game that there was a big difference in quality between the two sides up front, but Millwall couldn't play in midfield and that was where Villa's success lies. ”
In the end, Millwall beat home Aston Villa 1-3 away.
Although Millwall won the game, the game process still made Zhang Yang vigilant, he always felt that Millwall's tactics were better, and he would let the players play, and it was easy to play with ordinary clubs, even if they met strong teams, there were very few who could fight with Millwall head-on.
Aston Villa's performance was unexpected.
When he saw Villa put on an offensive posture, Zhang Yang felt that the game was no longer suspenseful, but the process was different from what he imagined, if it wasn't for the use of "words and words" halfway, maybe Villa could really tie the score, or even successfully overtake, after all, their performance was too good.
Millwall's high efficiency up front is one thing, but the opponent's active scrambling, active running, and active participation in the game have a much better average performance, and their excellent form also makes up for the difference in strength.
Maybe that's football.
Even if a strong team encounters a small club, it may not be able to win, and the enthusiasm of the players in the game can make up for the gap in tactics and strength.
Zhang Yang sighed and praised Villa's performance after the game, "They are very good. The game can't look at the score. If it's a process, they'll be the winners. ”
"We won on the quality of the players, Kevin, Jamie, but they were better."
"If Villa can continue their performances, I'm sure they will be amazed at the end of the season!"
Zhang Yang has a high opinion of Villa, but the media is more concerned about the fact that after beating Villa, Millwall is unbeaten in 50 rounds of the league, creating a new unbeaten record in the Premier League!
