After the 18th round of the Premier League, there is a one-week break, followed by a dense schedule around Christmas.

Milwall Kings have a busy schedule, with a match against Sheffield United on 23 December, two days before Christmas, followed by West Ham, Bolton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur.

To play four league games in ten days, the schedule can be imagined to be terrifying, but Millwall is still relatively easy, perhaps the FA believes that Millwall is difficult to continue to do well, and the Christmas focus game has nothing to do with Millwall.

Chelsea are also 'honoured' not to be scheduled for a big game after Christmas.

Manchester United and Arsenal can't escape, the first match day after Christmas, is the collision between Manchester United and Arsenal, the FA probably wants to use this as a gimmick to attract more foreign fans.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Millwall.

Even if they are not scheduled to enter the 'focus battle', Millwall's schedule is still a headache, and the four rounds of league games around Christmas are better against ordinary teams, and when the time comes, the team will suffer from the 'four-front battle'.

First, the FA Cup is in the round of 64, with Premier League and Championship teams joining the mix.

Secondly, Millwall have also reached the last four of the English League Cup, and the Carabao Cup semi-finals are decided by home and away, which means that Millwall will have at least two more games.

Coupled with the UEFA Champions League that will start in February, Zhang Yang can say to all players, "The warm-up time has passed, and the next step is to officially enter the schedule ......"

The second half of the season is sure to be very tough.

As long as he thinks about the intensive schedule he wants to face, Zhang Yang will feel a headache, and now the rare two-day vacation is precious.

Zhang Yang even refused to shoot at Denise's company, he just walked around the parks and business districts by himself, feeling the prosperity of the metropolis while enjoying his leisurely personal life, and did nothing else.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhang Yang went out every day to enjoy the feeling of solitude, and the only gain was to buy a few sets of clothes and shoes, but he still felt very relaxed.

That's enough.

When they returned to the club, the team's training resumed.

It's late December, the weather in London is also a little cold, this kind of weather is easy to do strenuous sports is easy to get injured, the team's training has also reduced the intensity, in addition to the tactical training that must be carried out, the rest is mainly to recover and warm up, so that the players can maintain their condition at the same time, reducing the overall injury rate is the most important.

During the few days of training, the Christmas atmosphere in London was also very strong.

Many people invited Zhang Yang to spend Christmas Eve together.

Among them were Wilkinson, Ebenezer and former club president Gligory, and even Arsene Wenger extended an invitation to him, but Zhang Yang was not interested in Christmas and turned down all party invitations.

Later, Zhang Yang also received Catherine's invitation, and he was a little difficult to refuse, but he still stubbornly said, "I'm sorry, I'm too busy at work, and it's difficult for me to have a break." I wanted to be alone that day. ”

This is a flamboyant statement.

Catherine didn't say anything, but her tone was obviously a little low, and Zhang Yang still did it ruthlessly.

In fact, the main reason for Zhang Yang's refusal is not 'like spending Christmas alone', it's still good to spend Christmas with Catherine, and there will probably be old John? It always feels good to get together with old friends, but the main thing is that Denise invited him before.

Zhang Yang received Denise's invitation, thinking that she was joking and did not express anything clearly, and then felt that Denise was full of sincerity, and was about to agree, Catherine invited him.

Zhang Yang experienced the pain of 'two women'.

What to do?

If Catherine had agreed, Dennis would have been difficult to explain; Conversely, what would Catherine think if she promised Denise?

What a hassle!

Zhang Yang resolutely disagreed, and refused on the grounds of 'hoping to live by himself'.

Originally, the matter had passed, Zhang Yang didn't care about Christmas, and he was still in a good mood, but a phone call from the other side of the Atlantic made him fall into complicated emotions again.

Ivanka!

The last time I saw Ivanka was in Hawaii, when Zhang Yang went on vacation to Hawaii and met Ivanka and her friends, and then the two reminisced about their physical feelings together and determined the relationship between them and the distance between the Atlantic.

Lovers can be very intimate, or they can immediately become passers-by.

Zhang Yang feels that Ivanka is such a relationship, in half a year, they have only made two phone calls to each other, in July and August, and they have not been in touch since then, not even on the Internet.

In fact, it is mainly Ivanka's relationship, Zhang Yang took the initiative to call and left a message for Ivanka on the Internet, but the call was not answered, and there was no reply on the Internet.

Zhang Yang felt that the relationship was broken.

Ivanka probably didn't want to keep in touch with herself, so she didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to the message, and Zhang Yang was a little disappointed, but considering Denise and Catherine, I also think it's pretty good, after all, Ivanka is too far away, and the two seem to be people from two worlds.

Now Ivanka has contacted Zhang Yang again, and she has said a lot of things inexplicably--

"I haven't seen you for more than half a year, can you still remember what I look like?"

"I'm sorry, I saw your call and saw your message, but I didn't reply because I had mixed feelings......"

"What happened during this time, you probably can't imagine."

"Well, I'll admit I'm missing you a little, and if you can, I'd like you to come to see me in New York. But I've seen some British news about you, and you're definitely busy at work...... You probably don't have time? I'm also busy at work, but that's in the past and you should congratulate me, I have a long vacation and I'm not sure how long I'm going to take a break. ”

"That's right, Merry Christmas!"

"Christmas has to be spent with the family, it's a family tradition. But after Christmas, I decided to go to London, and I thought about it, so you shouldn't be unwelcome, right? ”

“……”

Ivanka is coming, what can Zhang Yang say?

Welcome, of course!

Ivanka's attitude also made Zhang Yang feel puzzled, he asked for a long time, and Ivanka didn't explain what happened, but in the end Ivanka decided to come to London.

Zhang Yang's mood was full of mixed feelings.

In fact, Zhang Yang felt very happy and looked forward to it, but considering that the two had not been in touch for a long time, he felt that it was a little unrealistic, and in addition, the 'love relationship' between the two was also very funny.

Maybe this time, the two should reposition their relationship?

If the relationship can go further, it will be upgraded to boyfriend and girlfriend, Zhang Yang is not fully psychologically prepared, otherwise he will be reduced to an ordinary friend, or even a passer-by in life, a passer-by, a person, a person,

Annoyance!

Zhang Yang is to welcome the next round of the league with troubles.

It's the final league game before Christmas, with Millwall hosting Sheffield United.

Sheffield United is nicknamed "The Blade".

The South Yorkshire side have a 118-year history, winning one top-flight title and four FA Cups, but that was 80 years ago.

In 1992, the name of League One was officially changed to the Premier League, and Sheffield United was one of the 22 Premier League members at that time, and that season, Sheffield United played a very spectacular attacking football under the leadership of Basilt, beating Manchester United 2-1 and sweeping Tottenham Hotspur 6-6, which still makes the old fans talk about it, but in the end they failed to retain their Premier League spot.

From 1993 to the present, Kendall, Sparkman, Bruce and Heath have been managers of Sheffield United, but they have not been able to bring Sheffield United back to the Premier League, and it was not until Warnock took office in December 1999 that the team embarked on the right development trajectory.

Last season, Sheffield United returned to the Premier League with a runners-up finish in the Championship.

As a promoted team, Sheffield United does not have West Ham United's big spending, spending 2.4 million euros in summer transfers, just buying good goalscorers to supplement the striker, most of the other positions are composed of young players, and there are no big stars in the team, Shipley, who once played for Chelsea, is the big brother of Sheffield United players and one of the few players in the team with Premier League experience.

As Sheffield United's top scorer, Shipley scored 11 league goals for the side last season. Shipley was followed by Webb, once regarded as Manchester United's hopeful, and with his good ball sense and solid shooting skills, Webber was one of the most dangerous figures in the Sheffield United squad.

There's nothing else to talk about.

This kind of squad strength in the Premier League, it is still very difficult, the head coach Warnock has good ability, but there is an old Chinese saying, 'a good woman is difficult to cook without rice', Sheffield United squad strength is very poor, it is almost impossible to play a good result.

As of now, Sheffield United are 19th in the league, just above Watford, who have 'collapsed'.

When Sheffield United faced Millwall, especially the game at Neil Stadium, the outside world was naturally not optimistic about Sheffield United, but the words of manager Warnock made Millwall vigilant and recognized by the media, "We don't need to beat Millwall, it's almost impossible to do." Our goal is just to get points. ”

Warnock's words can be summed up as 'a draw is a win', a sentence seems to be no big deal, but think of Liverpool and Aston Villa who played against Millwall, and the media expected Sheffield United to use a solid defense to make Millwall fold their wings in their own stadium.

That's so much fun!

Warnock's words left Millwall feeling a deep sense of malice, and many had already anticipated how conservative Sheffield United would be, which was a challenge for Millwall.

In the dressing room before the game, Zhang Yang said to the players seriously, "You all know how to play, right?" ”

"It's just a game that doesn't get much attention, but we have to warn our opponents in the future!"

"They want to get a point with their defense? We want everyone to know how unrealistic that idea is! When it came to the end, Zhang Yang's face became vicious.
