In the hospital room.

Wise talked about his tactical arrangements and thoughts since taking over the team.

He was very detailed.

From the situation faced by the team at the beginning, to the tactical training that the team is doing in the past month, every detail has been said.

Zhang Yang listened patiently and wrote it down carefully.

Tactical ideas, planning, sounds like a very complicated thing, non-field people are completely blocked, if you ask a senior fan tactics or something, maybe you can say something, but in general, it is analysis, ideas, how to train for specific teams, to adapt, it will become very confused.

But after listening to Wise's detailed explanation, Zhang Yang found that the tactical thing is actually very simple.

Wise doesn't have a general tactical plan, he talks mostly about how to get players to train routines, as well as the team's overall defensive and offensive strategy.

These are not complicated.

As long as you know a little bit about football, you will fully understand it as soon as you hear it, and the most important point is not the tactical content, but how to get familiar with the players.

That's what every team has been doing.

The so-called tactical training is like this, the head coach arranges the tactics and will direct each player to target the training, so how to train the tactics that you have come up with?

Wise had a simple explanation, "You have to have them run on a fixed route, stand in a fixed position, and the assistant coach has to assist. You can also use confrontation drills to familiarize the attacking or defending side with the use of tactics. ”

Zhang Yang understood.

He had a sense of "it was so simple".

Although the principle is very simple, no one mentions it must be impossible to figure it out and do not know how to do it.

This is too helpful for him.

What Wise talked about is also Millwall's overall tactical play, which generally does not have any special planning, and can basically be described as 'offensive and defensive balance', such as two midfielders, and there will also be a pull-back when attacking to help the team's defense stabilize.

On the opposite side of the attack, Jody Morris supported the middle, as well as two wide supports.

The attack on the side mainly relies on long passes from the bottom line, or passes directly to the penalty area, and the attack in the middle is more cooperative.

In terms of the coordination of the attack in the middle, Wise did not go into detail, because he did not formulate a relevant strategy at all, and he did not know how to make the team cooperate better.

It can only be done by the players on the spot.

Zhang Yang also understands this, the middle and the wing are different, the opponent's defense will definitely be more dense, and it is too difficult to talk about tactical play in a small area.

At the level of Millwall's players, even if they understand the tactics and train according to them, it is difficult to play in a small area.

That doesn't make sense at all.

Maybe the tactics of their big teams will be a little more complicated, but they have enough quality to do so much, and when every player in the team is a big star, even the most complex tactics can be trained.

It has to do with the average level of the players in the team.

For example, David Livermore, a guy with developed limbs and a simple mind, it makes no sense to say complex tactics, he can't even understand them, how can he execute them?

The rest of the players weren't much better.

The main thing is that the skills are not at home, such as a small area within a few meters, under the encirclement and interception of the opposing players, it is quite difficult to successfully pass the ball to teammates, let alone think of any tactics.

Zhang Yang's summary is: tactical training is very simple, just develop a simple big framework, and then let the players do a little bit of routine.

When it comes to the playing field, as long as the big frame doesn't go wrong, there won't be much problem with playing.

Zhang Yang completely understood.

After talking about tactical issues, Zhang Yang chatted with Wise for a while, talked about some things that happened at the club, and told him to take care of his injuries.

Then he was ready to leave.

When Zhang Yang just stood up, Wise suddenly stopped him, his tone was a little complicated, "I still don't quite understand, the reason why you came here to ask tactical questions." ”

“？”

Zhang Yang didn't understand.

Wise sighed, "I know Millwall have been doing well lately and are now ninth in the league. We've won five in a row, we've picked up 19 points in seven games, so it's safe to say that the team is well on its way to relegation. ”

"And then?" Zhang Yang still didn't understand what Wise was trying to express.

"And then? The team is free of relegation pressure, we can coach and play normally and we can stay in the Championship. What are you doing so hard? After speaking, Wise looked at Zhang Yang solemnly.

Zhang Yang was stunned.

When doing one thing, he subconsciously has to do his best, and as the head coach of Millwall, he naturally has to do a good job as a head coach: lead the team to achieve better results!

And then?

Is that the goal?

It's like Wise said, Millwall is relegated without worry, what do you have to do so hard?

Zhang Yang suddenly remembered Wenger.

At that time, after Wenger praised him, he thought 'when Millwall is promoted, he will be against Arsenal', and now that Millwall has been improving in the rankings, perhaps the team's goals should also change!

Relegation?

No, that's easy!

"I'm here to give the team some hope of promotion!" After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he confirmed word by word, "Yes! My goal is to lead the team to promotion to the Premier League! ”

Wise's eyes widened.

He thought of the answer before he asked, but after actually hearing it, he was still very shocked.

Millwall?

Upgrade?

How can it be!

When he took over Millwall last summer and had ambitions, he only wanted to get a good result for the team, preferably to stay in the Championship, and promotion was unthinkable, because it was widely believed that Millwall did not have the quality to be promoted.

This guy dares to make upgrading a goal?

Wise's mood was very shocking and complicated, he couldn't believe it, but thinking about Millwall's recent results, he felt that there was a glimmer of hope for the team.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said with some decadence, "That's a very difficult goal, but I can't achieve it if I don't dare to say it!" You're a first-time manager, but you're doing a lot better than mine. Yes, I hate to admit it, but since you came to Millwall, the results have improved a lot. ”

Then he became much more serious, "I want to make a pact with you." ”

"What agreement?"

"Your goal is to lead the team to a higher level, and if you can do that, I'm willing to join your coaching staff and follow your command in the future. I'm sure you'll welcome me on board, and I'll be able to take a lot of work off your shoulders. ”

Zhang Yang was overjoyed to hear it.

Wise is not a competent manager, but if he is an assistant coach, he is definitely more than outstanding, he has more than a dozen years of star experience, and he was the captain of Chelsea, which is a valuable asset that most coaches will not have, and many stars retire to become excellent managers, and this is why.

It would be great if Wise was willing to be an assistant coach, both experience and ability would help him a lot.

But Wise's words were not finished, "But if you can't do it, I will still be the head coach in the future, and you will return to the assistant coach, and you will seriously assist me in completing the work." Of course, I will also listen to your opinions in the competition. ”

After Wise finished speaking, the two looked at each other.

Zhang Yang only thought about it for a moment, then immediately nodded and smiled, "Okay, I agreed." ”

"This is our agreement!"

After Zhang Yang left the ward, he kept thinking about it.

He had been so busy that he hadn't thought about his goals for the season or what would happen at the end of the season, but after talking to Wise, he realized that he needed to aim higher, higher.

It's because of his situation.

Millwall manager?

As many people think, he's just an interim manager.

The interim head coach is also nominally a head coach, but the nature is completely different, for example, after the end of this season, Millwall only completed relegation, so will his head coach position still work?

Impossible!

A manager at such a young age has achieved a decent result, and everyone is just considered lucky, not to mention that Millwall was originally a mid-stream team, but it just played at a normal level of strength.

By the end of the season, he was about to be laid off.

Unless he can get the support of the club and a large number of fans, then the premise is to lead the team to amazing results, so good that people have nothing to say.

Then it can only be an upgrade.

As long as Millwall are promoted, he will not only continue as manager, but also as manager of a Premier League team!

Plus, he's looking forward to a team upgrade!

Whenever he thinks about being able to lead Millwall to promotion to the Premier League, his heart becomes excited.

That is hopeful!

There is a vision!

There's more to come!

To be able to lead a mid-table team in the Championship and complete the league promotion is a great success for the manager.

That should be his goal!
