Millwall can ignore tactics shamelessly, shamelessly.

Zhang Yang doesn't understand too complicated tactical theories, he only knows one central idea: all tactics are aimed at winning, as long as the tactics that can win are good tactics, on the other hand, no matter how beautiful the tactics are, no one will pay attention to them if they can't win.

For example, one of the most famous managers of the future, the Portuguese champion coach Jose Mourinho.

Everyone knows that Jose Mourinho is a top manager, but in recent years, Mourinho's '1-0' football has been criticised by many.

So what?

Jose Mourinho is still regarded as one of the top managers because his tactics can help the game, and the more trophies he has won, the utilitarianism has become pragmatism, and the other words have become two meanings.

In short, victory is the most important thing.

Millwall's players uphold the idea of victory, and they interpret the meaning of patience with their performances on the field.

Millwall is just patient!

Wigan Athletic players followed Jewell's instructions and kept passing and receiving the ball near the halfway line, hoping to pull the Millwall defence, but none of the Millwall players stepped forward.

Captain Jody Morris also shouted, "Ignore them, Zhang let us defend in the backfield, no matter what they do!" ”

"Yes, that's what the Boss said!"

"Let them pass the ball! I'm here anyway! The boss said many times that he wouldn't let me go up! ”

“……”

A group of Millwall players, all of whom are about to become fans on the football field, watched Wigan Athletic perform the ball carefully, the difference is that the fans have to buy tickets to enter, and they are paid a high salary.

Jewell is about to explode!

He could never have imagined that Millwall would be so shameless that he would watch Wigan Athletic pass the ball and adjust it to fail as the opponent was unmoved.

Jewell complained at the fourth official, "Look! They should have been given a foul, they weren't in the game at all! ”

The fourth official shrugged innocently, he was used to complaining.

That's certainly not a foul.

It can only be said that Millwall is defending the goal and not taking the initiative to fight, but from Millwall's point of view, it can also be said that Wigan Athletic does not take the initiative to attack.

Check it out!

Wigan Athletic just fell backwards in the middle of the line and didn't pass the ball forward at all.

In any way, there was no violation of the rules of the game between the two sides, but the fans were probably not satisfied, they came to see the good game, not the two teams to play against each other for a long time.

The media reporters were also very unhappy, and the vast majority of the media supported Wigan Athletic, so they began a new round of criticism against Millwall.

"What a dog-Millwall!"

"They don't want to win at all, they just want to keep the goal! That Chinese said that he wanted to win, but he actually wanted to get a point! ”

"So far they have succeeded, this is the real utilitarian football!"

"It's a step backwards in football!"

"It's a stain on the English league! A Championship team doesn't want to play and just knows how to keep the goal en masse! ”

"It's going to be a drag on English football!"

“……”

It would be an honour if Zhang Yang knew his tactics and would have raised the media to the point of 'dragging down English football'.

This hat is buttoned up too much!

Zhang Yang will feel ashamed, but if the media says that, let them say it, it's not illegal anyway, he's just a small person.

Just like Zhang Yang considered, the first thing he couldn't help but was Wigan Athletic.

This is the J Chain.

At the J Stadium, there were 20,000 fans watching, Wigan Athletic was the first in the league again, and they couldn't pull down the skin to compete with Millwall, so they still forced the attack.

There were no openings or chances, but the ball went forward.

Doing so at first meant that it was a no-brainer, and in the end the football was kicked away by Darren Ward.

Jody Morris launched a counterattack with the ball on the side!

Wigan Athletic dropped back quickly, but their reaction was a little slower, and Morris still managed to get the ball down the middle, and David Livermore met the ball without hesitation, just a long-range shot.

"Bang!"

The ball had plenty of power, just over the crossbar.

After David Livermore shot, he didn't even look at the result, and instantly ran back to defend, not giving Wigan Athletic any chance.

The failure to score this time still posed a threat to Wigan Athletic.

The soccer ball is only half a meter above the beam.

Half a meter may sound like a short distance, but compared to a powerful shot from 25 meters away, it is already quite accurate, as long as it is half a meter on the bottom, the football can fly directly into the goal, and it is difficult for the goalkeeper to save the ball.

The Sky Sports commentator praised the shot, "David Livermore, the strong midfielder, kicked a dangerous long-range shot. Wigan Athletic should also be careful, although Millwall does not attack much, they create no less threat than Wigan Athletic......

This is also where Wigan Athletic feel depressed.

As time passed, the closer to halftime, Wigan Athletic played more and more anxious, just like Zhang Yang's judgment, Millwall was relatively better, Wigan Athletic wanted to win, when the game was close to the end of the first half, the players were a little anxious, they hoped to score before half-time, so that the second half would have an advantage, if it ended 0-0, the second half would be much more difficult.

Wigan Athletic players consciously stepped up their attack, but this reinforcement was spontaneous and not organized.

With Millwall's solid defence, Wigan Athletic's mistakes are mounting.

This time Wigan Athletic took a goal kick but the football was snatched up by Joey Healy and he played a through ball to Marvin Elliott.

Elliott crosses and the big foot is transferred to Jody Morris.

Morris ran forward with the ball, immediately after crossing the halfway line to find Braniff's position, and sent the ball through, Braniff took the ball forward, he was very fast, the opposing defense was a little flustered, he threw off a player, and then he squeezed another defender and rushed into the box.

After crossing the penalty line, Braniff immediately lifted his foot to shoot.

Wigan Athletic fans panicked at that moment, but fortunately their defender made an early tackle to clear the ball, and Braniff couldn't play football.

Many Millwall players regretted it.

Braniff was also disappointed, clasping his cheeks in his hands and glancing at Millwall's dugout through his fingers, as if he was worried about Zhang Yang's disappointment with his performance.

Wigan Athletic didn't take Millwall's counter-attack to heart, the football was at their feet for most of the time, Millwall occasionally counter-attacked, and it was just a long-range shot by chance, or like this time, Braniff ran wildly with the ball, which was just an accident in most people's eyes, and they just paid a little attention to the defense.

The first half is coming to an end.

Now it's more important to be able to break down the Millwall goal, as long as they can score a goal and the opponent continues to play like that, the winner will be Wigan Athletic.

Wigan Athletic then continued their attack.

Their advantage was indeed huge, with Wigan Athletic having two direct passes into the box between the 43rd and 45th minutes and two corners.

Although they didn't produce a goal, Millwall were dangerous.

The fourth official held up a sign to announce two minutes of stoppage time.

At this time, the first half was basically over, but Wigan Athletic still seized the time to attack, and they had to use the last time. Towards the end of the game, it is easier to score goals because a lot of players are waiting for the end and are not fully engaged in the game.

That's what many Wigan Athletic players think.

They didn't think about Millwall, who thought the same way, and with just half a minute to go until the end of the first half, Wigan Athletic made a mistake in a pass up front and the ball was cut off by David Livermore, who drove the ball forward to the right side of the pitch with a big kick.

No one cared.

Livermore is just a big foot in the clearance style, so what threat can he have? But when they looked along the flight path of the football, they immediately became panicked.

Braniff!

Millwall's striker was on the drop and he didn't rush forward quickly because he was standing there without a defender around him.

"Danger!"

A lot of people are aware.

Braniff waited excitedly for the ball to fly over, and he couldn't help but think of the scene two minutes ago, when Zhang Yang called him over--

"I've found that there are more opportunities on the right side than on the left! You run around the right front point area and keep an eye on the opponent's defender position at all times, so as not to be offside! ”

Braniff was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't understand at all, how did he analyze the 'more opportunities on the right side than on the left'?

Maybe it's because Morris is on the right?

Yes, it should be!

Braniff didn't understand it, but he did it anyway, and the last time he 'offended' Zhang Yang, it was because he didn't follow the command, so he strictly followed the order, and stayed on the right side.

Then, here's the opportunity!

When the football flew by, Braniff saw the opposing central defender, took a few steps back, and he also took the opportunity to run a few steps forward, and it was the difference between these steps that allowed him to easily turn his head and watch the football fly over.

Braniff had plenty of time to prepare, and no one was ready to scramble yet, so he stopped the ball steadily, then saw the opposition defender approaching and immediately rushed forward.

No one can stop it!

Wigan Athletic had only two defenders at the back, one was a full-back who stood far away, and the other was a centre-back who ran diagonally, and when Braniff rushed up with the ball, the centre-back could only turn around and try to intercept in front of the penalty area, but Braniff was faster, he reached the penalty line in a few steps, and the only thing he had to face was the goalkeeper.

Then glancing at the goalkeeper, Braniff chose to shoot!

At this moment, Zhang Yang's mouth spat out two words - "goal", which was like shouting in Chinese that he wanted the player to score.

These two words bring about a magical effect.

Braniff felt like he was in great shape, as if he had hit the perfect shot of his career.

The soccer ball is not only powerful, but it also brings a spin!

At the moment of shooting, Braniff glanced at the goal and could tell the trajectory of the ball and from where it would be drilled.

It's an amazing feeling!

Braniff was in a trance for a moment after finishing his shot, and the next moment, the ball spun around the goalkeeper and drilled into the net from its spotted position......
