"Kicking more aggressively?"

In last season, the slight change in the team's playing style was just a small problem, Zhang Yang only needed to tell the formation to press forward, and the team would naturally play a more pressing attack.

As for the effect, let's not talk about it.

Every game is different, and there will be both beneficial and harmful changes in tactical play, but in any case, small changes in the style of play will not be very difficult, and even only one substitution is needed to do it.

Now it's different.

Making changes to new tactics can be quite difficult.

That's not an easy problem to solve.

The formulation of new tactics is extremely fine, and when it comes to the playing field, the players in each position have a clear division of labor, and the cooperation between each other has been set, and only 'precision' will bring improvement to the team's strength.

But at the same time, no tactics are perfect.

There are also considerable problems with the new tactics, which can be described in two words: rigidity.

General tactics can be adjusted, such as changing a few people, or compressing the formation, or changing the formation, a small adjustment will make the tactics look different, but the core point of the new tactics is to 'make it easier for the players to play the game', not the power of the tactics themselves.

That's what makes the new tactics special.

In terms of the fundamentals of developing tactics, the new tactics are completely different types from the tactics of other teams.

If you want to make it easier for each player to play their strength, it is necessary to give them the most suitable function, if it is for a small change in the style of play, the play of players in each position is limited, and the tactical power will definitely decrease, so the most basic point is to keep the function of players in each position unchanged.

For example, Josh Simpson on the right side, his function is to cooperate with the right side of the defense, cooperate with the midfield, and play a connecting role with the forward, etc., his personal ability is quite comprehensive, occasionally break through with the ball, and most of the time he will cooperate with other teammates, if there is a small change in the tactical play, for example, let him pass the ball more to the middle player, which is equivalent to limiting his ability to play, whenever he gets the ball, Simpson will think, "The coach asked me to cooperate more with other people", naturally his ability to break through, can't play normally, which is equivalent to limiting his play.

The same goes for the other players.

The main point of the new tactics is to let each player play to their due strength, let them play in the tactics they are best at, if the tactical framework is used to limit the players' performance, it touches the foundation of the tactic, and the overall power of the tactic will definitely be greatly reduced.

That's the downside of the new tactics - old-fashioned.

It's hard to make adjustments, even a little change.

Perhaps in another word, it is more acceptable to accept - perfect, the new tactics have been perfected, allowing the fixed lineup to play the 'almost maximum possible' strength, and a group of players of average quality to form a team that can completely overpower Blackburn Rovers is the biggest proof of this.

This is not possible with other tactics.

No matter how famous a manager in the world is, he can't do a better job in charge of Millwall.

But...... It's not enough!

Millwall's strength is too poor, even if there is a new tactical improvement that tends to be 'perfect', the overall strength can only reach the middle of the Premier League, and there is still a big gap between the strength of the top teams, even if there are a few 'supernatural powers' ability to assist, Zhang Yang is not 100% sure, the team will definitely be able to enter the top four in the league.

Also, it's important to note that Millwall's style of play is simple, and simple play is easy to crack.

When encountering a gap in strength, the team is likely to be comprehensively suppressed, and comprehensive suppression also represents comprehensive passivity, and it will be too difficult to win at that time.

"I want to adjust my tactics......"

Zhang Yang hesitated.

This is a critical issue, and if you want to change your tactics, you have to do it on the basis of 'not changing the functions of each position'.

So how do you do it?

In the next few days, as long as there is a gap, Zhang Yang began to study this problem, he is just a 'rookie' in the head coaching world, he has not had much time to contact tactics, but he has the assistance of 'speech and spirit calculation', and if he comes up with a change, he can use the ability of 'speech and spirit calculation' to analyze the good and bad of the change.

Zhang Yang soon discovered that the formation could be changed.

When writing a lineup and using the ability of 'speech calculation' to analyze the 'current squad strength', a clear lineup diagram will automatically come up in your mind, but it is only the 'best' tactical lineup, not 'you have to play that tactic', and it is no problem to change the formation slightly.

However, the most basic is the 'function of each position', and changing the lineup does not limit the performance of players in each position, and the effect is that some position players have more responsibilities and others have the responsibility to be shared.

Zhang Yang began to try to change the formation.

It's not something that can be figured out all at once, it takes a lot of analysis and calculation, and come up with all kinds of ways to make adjustments, and it's not okay to make too big adjustments, because the players will not be able to adapt to the game, and they won't have to prepare for the game for a month in a row.

In this tactical thinking, the second round of the league is already imminent.

Zhang Yang can't care about changing the formation, winning the game at the moment is the most important thing, as long as Millwall plays normally, the team's results will not be too bad, at least not being pulled down by other teams.

As long as the team can play properly, Millwall will also burst into a surprising force.

In the second round of the league, Millwall challenged Newcastle United away, and in the face of Newcastle United, who 'did not have Michael Owen' and 'the forward line was very weak', Millwall still played well away.

But in the game, the problem of 'tactical old-fashioned' was also exposed.

Even if there are no strong strikers in the team, Newcastle United's overall strength is still not comparable to Millwall, and they have suppressed Millwall with great strength.

It was a tough game from the first minute.

In the first half, Newcastle United took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to break down the Millwall goal, even if Zhang Yang warned in advance, it was to no avail, and then Millwall also burst into strength, taking advantage of a counter-attacking opportunity to help the team equalise.

In the second half of the game, the scramble between the two sides became much more intense.

Millwall was trying.

Newcastle United have also put in the effort and have been a little better with the home fans cheering them on.

But in the end, the effort is invincible!

In the 81st minute, Josh Simpson cut inside to the middle and relied on a long-range shot to make a tentative shot.

Zhang Yang used his supernatural powers, "Score!" ”

Josh Simpson was in good form and kicked a long-range shot with high spin, the football slashed a long arc against the turf and went straight into the corner of the goal, goalkeeper Givens watched the football fly in stunned, and could only give his teammates a helpless look.

1 to 2!

Millwall won the second round of the league with goals from Braniff and Josh Simpson to beat Newcastle United at St James' Park.

After the second-round victory, Millwall's name began to appear frequently in the British media.

Millwall won two rounds in a row.

So far, there are only five teams that have won the first two rounds in a row, in addition to Millwall, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Charlton Athletic, and thanks to the big win over Blackburn Rovers in the first game, Millwall has a goal difference of six, and with six goal difference, Millwall is also in the top of the league.

After the first round, few media cared about it, a round of games can't say anything, Millwall may not get points in the next game, and there is no point in talking about goal difference.

It's the same for now.

The win over Newcastle United guaranteed Millwall points and kept them in top of the league.

Until now, there have been many so-called 'football commentators', who have begun to seriously analyze Millwall, it is rare for a promoted horse to win two rounds in a row, and it is even more difficult for one of them to win a big victory, but after analyzing and analyzing, they don't think that Millwall's tactical play is a big deal, but the performance of the players in the team is eye-catching.

Two of Millwall's top performers are Kevin Braniff and Josh Simpson.

Braniff scored three goals in two games.

Simpson also scored twice.

Considering that Braniff is a striker and Simpson is just a wing-back, two goals and three goals, there is not much difference at all, plus Simpson's age is younger, many media have begun to chant, "England has another talent on the right side!" ”

"Two games, two goals!"

"The Simpsons shine all over the field!"

"At just 19 years old, Simpson has been impressive and he will be an important pillar on the right side of the England team in the future!"

“……”

At the same time, Braniff has received a lot of praise, but unfortunately he is only a striker: there are too many talented strikers in world football, not too many more of him, and no less of him.

Zhang Yang only thought it was funny when he saw these reports, he knew better than anyone the reason for the player's good performance.

In fact, it is fundamentally tactical.

Millwall's tactics will allow players in all positions to play well, and tactics based on individual combinations will certainly make players perform well, if you want to say that genius is not genius, at least Simpson and Braniff, the ability can only be regarded as average.

If the two go to other teams, it is estimated that they can only wipe out everyone, and they will be forgotten after a season.

Good thing they were in Millwall.

Zhang Yang doesn't mind letting the media tout his players, just like Ebenezer said, professional football needs media attention, and the more attention it has, the more famous it is, and the higher the income.

The same goes for the performance of the players.

When it is noticed by many people, it will generate a certain amount of pressure, and the pressure may also be transformed into motivation?
