Where there is praise, there will be criticism.

What amused Zhang Yang was that many media turned the target of criticism to him, just like the Daily Telegraph said, "Millwall won two games, but we didn't see any improvement in Millwall's tactics, they still used the most backward style of play, long passing, rushing?" Long shot? A quick counterattack? If you don't pay attention, you think you're watching a lower league game, but it's actually a Premier League game. ”

"They used this simple style of play to win two games in a row, maybe it was luck, maybe it was based on the players, but no matter how you look at it, the victory has nothing to do with the Millwall coaching staff, the only thing they do is to dig out the players who are doing well......

The Telegraph didn't talk about the 'Millwall coaching staff' in the whole article, but as a manager, he was definitely the target of criticism.

Zhang Yang just laughed at it, he was not angry at all, but thought it was funny.

Why do players play well?

It's tactical!

But these media and football commentators don't understand tactics at all, and can only attribute the reason to 'players' temporary performance', and in turn criticize the coaching staff who formulate tactics.

Isn't that interesting?

Zhang Yang felt that there was a gap in the level between the two sides, he was a high-level person, and he developed detailed tactics to help the players in the team play better, and the 'low-level' people couldn't understand it at all.

How sad!

Zhang Yang experienced a feeling of being alone and seeking defeat.

As a master, he broke the branch with his hand and performed a peerless sword technique to defeat the opponent, ordinary martial artists couldn't understand it, and he also made a speech to ridicule, "It's not a big deal, it's just an ordinary sword swing, he defeated the enemy just because he was lucky, he just took it by chance and broke out a peerless good sword ......"

Isn't that sad what is?

"Ahem...... It's really lonely! Zhang Yang held the newspaper in his hand, shaking his head and sighing.

Wise, who was standing next to him, turned black when he heard this, and he quickly changed the subject, "Zhang, are you prepared for the next round of the league?" ”

"Who's in the next round?"

"Bolton!" Wise looked at him incredulously, "Don't you even know the schedule?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm thinking about other things." ”

"What have you been up to lately?" Wise asked with concern, "You've been stuffy in the office, and the training is just looking at it and leaving." ”

"Think about a tactical question."

"Tell me?"

Zhang Yang glanced at Wise, hesitated, and shook his head helplessly, "It's better for me to come by myself, I want to use this time to perfect our new tactics, otherwise after a while, there will be no time for the schedule to become dense." ”

Wise finally nodded.

If you want to perfect your tactics, the start of the season is the best fit, as the fixtures get packed after September, with the Carabao Cup in October and the FA Cup after Christmas. The league has just started, the schedule is not too dense, and the time is the most suitable.

At the same time, Wise was surprised.

The new tactics are perfect, the style of play in every position is detailed, and Millwall have performed quite well in the last two games, whether against Blackburn Rovers or against Newcastle United.

That's incredible.

In the game with Newcastle United, Millwall is at a disadvantage, but the disadvantage is not so obvious, and it seems that the gap between the two sides is not big on the field.

But is the gap really not that big?

The team's starting lineup is not much different from last season, and the team he led last season did not please in the Championship, let alone the Premier League.

The team's performance is already unimaginable!

The media were criticising Millwall's simple tactics, but Wise was clear that the tactics were not simple, and it was the new tactics that brought the team great performances.

Can such a perfect tactic continue to be perfected?

————

The third round of the Premier League is coming, and Millwall's opponent is Bolton.

Bolton's sixth finish in the league last season and their run to the UEFA Cup surprised everyone, but looking at Bolton's performances over the past two consecutive seasons (eighth the previous season), it is the result of a steady improvement.

Under the leadership of manager Alex Aledyce, Bolton will continue to cause problems for the teams in a distinctively traditional English style, but it will still be very difficult for Bolton to get a good place this season with the strength of other rivals.

Bolton's recruitment in the summer has also been mediocre, with new signing Diouf at Bolton last season and goalkeeper Walker having a hard time shaking Jaskelainen's position, with the only difference being Mexican Borgerti, a centre-forward who has shown great header ability in the Confederations Cup.

Although he is thirty-one years old, he is really just a little brother in the famous "retirement home" Bolton.

Zhang Yang attaches great importance to every round of the league, and after carefully studying Bolton, he found that their strength and style are similar to what Millwall can show.

In order to meet this opponent, Zhang Yang calmly arranged and prepared, and the preparation work was very meticulous.

But the game proved that there are no teams in the Premier League to deal with.

Zhang Yang never thought that he would lose in the contest with Bolton, and the luck value shown by the 'Word Divination' before the game was 'Ji', which was quite lucky, but in the game, the team did not complete the goal by continuously using the supernatural ability.

That was largely down to the performance of Bolton goalkeeper Askareneen.

Throughout the first half, Jaaskelainen saved two must-score goals to put Millwall's strings of performances to waste.

The two sides played evenly on the field.

In the second half, Bolton broke out and suppressed Millwall for a while, if it wasn't for the timely 'mending', the goal was likely to be pierced twice, but fortunately, Bolton did not score.

In the end, the two sides fought 0-0.

During the game, Zhang Yang sensed the danger and proved that his fears were correct.

Millwall's style of play is too fixed, and there is no flexibility in tactics at all, whether it is against Blackburn, Newcastle United, or Bolton, it is this set of tactics, the starters have not changed two or three, and the attack and defense are not targeted, which can be said to be 'offensive and defensive balance', or it can be said to be too simple.

This is actually the reason for the disparity in strength.

The strength of Millwall's lineup is too poor, players and opponents in all positions are at a disadvantage one-on-one, relying on this kind of lineup, it is already great to be able to play an equal match with Bolton, but the 'rigidity' of tactics will also become a big problem, and there will be more teams to study Millwall in the future, and when every opponent knows how to play targetedly, the problem of Millwall's insufficient squad strength will be exposed.

Therefore, tactics must not continue to be 'rigid'.

In layman's terms, Millwall's key problem is that tactics close the gap in individual player strength, but nothing else.

Other teams don't need tactics and are about the same level as Millwall, but they clearly have tactics.

That's the problem.

In terms of star ratings, Bolton also has seven-star strength, and their tactics are more flexible and can be adjusted at any time, while Millwall can't make adjustments, so they will naturally be at a disadvantage.

Throughout the game, the two sides played evenly on the surface, but in reality, Bolton has always had the advantage.

When the game was over, even the stadium commentator Mike Johnson lamented, "Millwall was lucky not to be scored by Bolton!" ”

That's not actually good luck, it's the excellent 'ability to make up the pot'.

After this battle, Zhang Yang knew that it was urgent to make changes, not only to increase the strength of the team, but to whether the goal could be achieved.

If you don't change, there's no hope.

————

After the game, many media turned on the ridicule mode, and they wantonly criticized Millwall's 'backward' style of play.

"That's what happens to the incompetence of the coaching staff!"

It's as if the Millwall coaching staff didn't do anything, but in fact, without the work of the coaching staff, Millwall would not have been able to stand in the Premier League.

But the media doesn't see it that way.

They didn't see any tactical play in the game, and everything was still very conservative and backward with the lower league teams.

Whether Millwall has the strength or not, they ignore it!

Some football analysts have also started to help other teams with how to play with Millwall.

Various analytical articles came out.

Zhang Yang felt very distressed when he saw these reports, the key problem is that he found that many of the analyses of Millwall's style of play are reasonable, if other teams do this, Millwall will probably become very difficult every game.

So he began to be bored in his office again, carefully studying tactical issues.

————

On this day, Zhang Yang walked onto the court.

Aldous saw his red eyes, and said with some worry, "Zhang, I don't know what you're busy with, but you can't work so hard, you're still young, you have to pay more attention to your body." ”

"Thank you."

Zhang Yang is a little helpless, he doesn't dare to say now, he wants to lead the team into the top four, if the tactical problem is not solved, the future games will be more and more difficult.

Others have nothing to worry about.

Do they think Millwall's goal is just relegation, relegation? With Millwall's performance in the first three games, relegation is not a problem at all, as long as it continues.

Zhang Yang looked at the hot training on the field, and suddenly asked Aldous, "What do you think our tactics can be modified?" ”

"Still modifying?"

Aldous's face was full of incredulity, "Our tactics are already perfect, so we don't need to modify them, right?" ”

"Let you say, you say. Say what's in your heart. ”

"But ......"

Aldous really didn't have any thoughts in his heart, but listening to Zhang Yang's words, he still hesitated and said casually, "Otherwise, let Marven and David go together, can you increase the defense?" ”

"You mean change formation?" Zhang Yang frowned, shook his head with a wry smile, he thought about changing the formation at the beginning, but to change the formation, he needed to re-use the 'speech and spirit calculation' to judge the strength, and the team's lineup strength evaluation would also return to five-star.

"I don't know what you think, but adding a midfielder shouldn't be a big deal, right?" Maybe we can just use one striker......" He didn't know what Zhang Yang thought, and he was a little hesitant when he said it.

But Zhang Yang was stunned when he listened.

Change formation?

That's right!

It's just the previous player, the next player, it's not a big deal!

It turns out that I have fallen into a misunderstanding! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
