PS: Make up for yesterday's chapter of the Lesser Update.

No matter how flamboyant you are, you can't imagine that when you meet Braniff alone, it will be such a scene--

Braniff walked in with his head down.

He was still pouting.

It's like a kid doing something wrong.

Zhang Yang squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Braniff carefully, completely unable to connect with the aggressive and arrogant guy two months ago.

What's wrong with this guy?

Braniff walked up to him, and shouted at the corners of his mouth, "Little Kevin? I see everyone else is called that, can I call you that? "Millwall had two Kevins, one was Kevin Keele and the other was Kevin Branifer, so Keele was called 'Big Kevin' and Braniff was 'Little Kevin'.

Braniff was excited, and immediately nodded and said, "Of course, of course!" You could tell he was nervous.

This made Zhang Yang embarrassed, and he felt that he had gone too far with Braniff before.

Zhang Yang didn't rush to speak, he still looked carefully, he couldn't find any flaws in Braniff's body, maybe the Braniff in front of him was not pretending.

The other party is really nervous!

This shift is a bit too big.

After careful observation, Zhang Yang's mind turned and turned, and found a reasonable explanation: in fact, Braniff was only a child, and his information showed that he was born in March 1983, and he had only just turned 22 years old.

A 22-year-old!

Well, it's still older than me, but the physical age has nothing to do with the mental age, like Braniff, a player who has been exposed to professional football since he was a child, trains continuously every day, and quickly plays in the professional league, has experienced little orthodox education, and the surrounding environment has also led to a relatively late mental maturity.

22 years old, still young!

As a professional player, no matter how young he is, he still has to face it, just like the previous punishment, Zhang Yang has no regrets at all, seeing Braniff's attitude, he feels that the approach is extremely correct, otherwise this guy would not have become so well-behaved!

Zhang Yang was relieved, and he smiled, "You don't have to be nervous. I came to you to talk about the game the day after tomorrow. ”

"The game the day after tomorrow?"

Braniff looked up and listened intently.

"If I'm not mistaken, you haven't played since January, but I'm not targeting you." Zhang Yang said.

Braniff didn't speak.

But judging from the corners of his mouth, it seems that he doesn't agree with Zhang Yang's statement.

Zhang Yang continued, "There is big Kevin in the team, there is Neil, and you should be able to see their performance. So in the last two months, you've had a hard time getting any chances. ”

This explanation was comforting to Braniff, as Kevin Gere and Neil Harris did do a great job, both of them scoring so consistently that even Curtis Weston, who is widely valued, did not get playing time.

"But, now it's different! Here's your chance! ”

Braniff finally raised his head 'officially', his eyes showing bewilderment and surprise, not expecting Zhang Yang to say that.

Zhang Yang said, "Although you haven't played, I am very concerned about you, your ability, and your training performance. Well, I care about everybody on the team, you're not the special one, but that's good news too, isn't it? ”

Braniff nodded.

No one wants to be the special one, and he's learned enough lessons in the last two months.

"The day after tomorrow is against Wigan Athletic and I've seen you train hard lately, so I decided to give you a chance to start!" Zhang Yang finished speaking cleanly.

Braniff's face suddenly lit up with joy.

Everyone in the whole team knows how important the game against Wigan Athletic is, although he thinks that losing to the top of the league is nothing, but Zhang Yang and other coaches have been preparing for the game against Wigan Athletic, and the whole team has been conducting targeted training.

There will also be a lot of media attention for that game.

If it is divided, Wigan Athletic against Millwall will be the most important battle in the next round of the Championship.

Starting such an important game?

It's true?

"But there's a premise." Zhang Yang continued seriously, "You should remember the game before Christmas, when Dennis was still on the field, I asked you to go to the side to find an opportunity, but you didn't listen...... That should also be your last game. To be honest, I'm not a grudge person, but I'm not going to send a player who doesn't listen to a command. ”

Braniff finally knew why he didn't get a chance to play.

I see!

Zhang Yang continued, "So you should know what to do after you play, whether it is on or off the field, you must follow the command, whatever I say, you can play, otherwise I will still replace you, is there a problem?" ”

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he looked at Braniff solemnly.

Braniff took a deep breath and nodded, "No problem, I'm sure I can do it...... Old...... Top dog! ”

"That's good!"

Zhang Yang nodded, "Remember to bring the door when you leave." Thank you. ”

Braniff left with a surprise.

When he came, his heart was full of apprehension, but now he doesn't regret coming, and on the way back, he can't help but smile.

Waiting out of the club's gates, Braniff stopped the car.

He couldn't help but call his agent Curris and happily said about it, "I got a chance to start, and it was against Wigan Athletic!" ”

Curris asked carefully, "You go back and forth, don't miss a detail, a word!" ”

Braniff said patiently.

Curris asked, "Do you think the biggest gain was getting a starting game against Wigan Athletic?" ”

"yes, what's wrong? It was against Wigan Athletic, and everyone in the team knew how important it really was, and the coaches kept insisting that it was directly related to whether we could be promoted or not......

"Kevin, maybe you should take some DHA to replenish your outstanding IQ!" Curris interrupted unceremoniously, "You always emphasize that you got the chance to start, but it was only one game, but your biggest gain should be to reconcile with your head coach!" You are reconciled! Got it? As long as he doesn't target you, you will continue to get opportunities in the future, which is your biggest gain! ”

Curris finished pressing the AFK button.

Braniff wasn't angry, he sat in the car and thought about it, thinking that what Curris said made sense!

I reconciled with him!

There will definitely be a lot of opportunities in the future, and one appearance is nothing!

"I guess I was so happy, I didn't expect it!"

Braniff shook his head and thought, what he cared more about was that Curris despised his IQ, and he had always thought he was smart.

Round 37 of the Championship is approaching.

Most of the Championship events are not reported by a few media, except for some regional media, the big media rarely care about low-level events, but the events involving the league ranking are still a little different, not only the media that specifically report the Championship events, but also some big media will also care.

Wigan Athletic's home game against Millwall was a high-profile match.

Wigan Athletic are the 'traditional powerhouses' of this season, finishing seventh in the league last season and have been in the first promotion echelon since the start of the season, and have been competing with Sunderland for the top spot in the league.

Millwall?

The relegation teams, which were ignored in the first half of the schedule, are now dark horses in the race for the top six.

The description of the game between the two teams was summarized by the media as 'a collision of traditional powerhouses and emerging dark horses'.

It's a Championship battle.

Wigan Athletic are first in the league and Millwall are fifth in the league, and the battle for first and fifth is not very attractive, but Millwall is more eye-catching than Wigan Athletic: in the last 15 rounds, Millwall have won 13 games and drawn just two.

The focus of many media attention is: Can Wigan Athletic, the first team in the league, break Millwall's unbeaten golden body?

This is one of those topics.

In the contest between Wigan Athletic and Millwall, there are too many topics that can be found, such as Millwall's 'opposition', that is, the small and medium-sized media in the London area, have found the topic of 'Wigan Athletic will make Millwall show its true face'.

The London-area media kept talking about the topic.

One of the root causes of their constant analysis is the cliché 'manager's ability problem', and Zhang Yang's role as a guest on the BBC has also become one of the levers: 'He may be more suitable as a commentator than a football coach, he can always use words to attract fans, but it has nothing to do with the manager's job'.

The other is the strength of Millwall's squad.

No matter from which point of view, a team with free transfers, veterans as the core, and the youth army as the substitute will not have any squad strength at all.

Millwall don't have the strength of the squad.

Therefore, the London area media have good reason to describe Millwall's defeat as 'showing its true colors'.

On the other hand, Wigan Athletic supports the media.

Most of these are the media in the Manchester region, including the big ones such as Manchester Sport and The Guardian, who want Wigan Athletic to complete the promotion so that Manchester can have an extra Premier League team.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Bolton Wanderers, plus Wigan Athletic, the number of Premier League teams in Manchester can match that of London, and it also represents the glory of Manchester football.

Wigan Athletic's tone of support for the media is to give 'Londoners' a glimpse of Manchester football and Millwall to know the gap to the top of the league.

Their tone is not friendly.

Under the call of Manchester Sport and The Guardian, they seem to have a tendency to provoke a media war between the north and south of England, but the most embarrassing thing is that almost no London area media has come out for Millwall.

The voices from the outside world seem to be all negative --

"Wigan Athletic will break Millwall's unbeaten streak! But Millwall's fifteen-game unbeaten run is enough to be proud of! ”

"Wigan Athletic will make Millwall unrecognizable!"

"Wigan Athletic will give Londoners a glimpse of the league's top-notch style! Let them know the difference in strength! ”

“……”

In the midst of a large group of unfavorable saliva, the supporting analysis of Telecom Sports stands out.
