Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 214 Why is this happening?

The first round of the Premier League kicked off on August [-]th. Before the first round came, the media had already started various reports. The day before the game, transfers and strength analysis were the mainstream of British media reports.

There is no need to explain more about the transfer.

Since May, the media has been reporting on transfers. One transfer after another has been disclosed, which means that the lineup of each team has changed. Fans can't get tired of similar news.

Like Newcastle United.

Since the end of May, after Michael Owen, the 'golden boy of England' who played for Real Madrid, announced his desire to return to the Premier League, Newcastle United has been the subject of speculation.

From May to August, there are two full months between June and July. The hype has not ended yet, but fans are still watching the reports with relish, analyzing the possibility of Owen joining Newcastle United.

Their efforts were not in vain.

According to the 'rumor' news disclosed by "The Times", Real Madrid and Newcastle United reached an agreement on the transfer fee of Michael Owen, and Michael Owen's agent also announced that Owen agreed to join Newcastle United.

Such a transfer is enough for the major media to take up a lot of space to report, and it can also attract the attention of many fans.

This is a heavyweight transfer.

In addition, the strength of the lineup brought about by the transfer has changed. Every team in the Premier League is the object of analysis by the media. The day before the start of the first round, many media published reports similar to "analysis of the strength of each team in the Premier League". Team lineups are dissected.

The analysis and reports made by different media have different rankings on the strength of each team.

For example, the media in the Manchester region will definitely rank Manchester United first, and Manchester City and Bolton will also rank high; the opposite is true in the London region. Chelsea will rank first, and Arsenal will definitely enter the top three. Tenham Hotspur, Fulham and Charlton will not be ranked low.

Each team's 'strength ranking' is different in different media.

Millwall is the special one.

No matter in which media's strength analysis reports, Millwall's position is always fixed, that is... the bottom one in the league!

The end of the crane!

Both newly promoted Sunderland and Wigan Athletic are always ranked much higher than Millwall.

In "Manchester Athletic", Sunderland ranked No.18, Wigan Athletic ranked No.16; in the "Daily Telegraph", Sunderland ranked No.17, Wigan Athletic ranked No.16.

The two 'difficult brothers' don't seem to rank high, but the situation is much stronger than Millwall.

Some media also analyzed and pointed out, "Wigan Athletic may achieve amazing results, and they may become a dark horse in the new season."

Some media also believe that "Sunderland may become a dark horse. They did not win the league title last season, only because of a small mistake at the end of the season."

As for Millwall?

"They will definitely be relegated!"

"This is a team with no suspense about relegation, counting on the old lineup that has hardly changed, a group of players who are good at fighting in the British Championship, against a strong Premier League team, their only result is to keep losing!"

"Their head coach is very unreliable... 22 years old? It's so interesting!"

"The 22-year-old Chinese, as the head coach of the Premier League, should definitely be written into history, but we don't count on what achievements he can achieve under the leadership of the team."

"..."

The analysis and reports of the media do not directly express conclusions, they still have a long analysis process.

Millwall has been keeping a low profile.

There is no news about Millwall in June and July. Their preparations are low-key and messy, and there is nothing special about the transfer. Except for a veteran Smicer who can be mentioned, there is no bright spot. Darren -Bent is not recognized by the media.

The media analyzed the Millwall lineup and pointed out a lot of problems: the right forward Josh Simpson is only under 19 years old; Jody Morris and Elliott are good, but there are only these two players; There are no players who can score goals; the signings of the back line are not bad, but more than half of the lineup has been changed, and no one can say what kind of defensive ability they can play.

and many more.

The above is not the key.

The media's analysis questioned Zhang Yang's coaching ability and control over the team, just like the "Manchester Sport" said, "Can a 22-year-old young man expect everyone to listen to him?"

The media's summary of Millwall's strength is also, "The overall strength is the same as last season, but the team's cohesion has declined."

The big British media say so, and the small media will naturally follow suit——
"The situation in Millwall is very dangerous!"

"Millwall's half-time performance was poor last season. This season, in the Premier League, their first goal is to win a victory!"

"They may become the relegated team with the fewest points!"

"If the history of creating the fewest points can also be recorded in the history of the Premier League, maybe that is also something to celebrate?"

"They are fighting to avoid relegation, but how much fighting spirit they have is unknown!"

This is the opinion of most of the media.

There are too few voices supporting Millwall in the British media, but there are still voices of support, such as the online media "Telegraph Sports", they have a cooperation with Millwall, and the relationship between the two is already considered a partner, "Telegraph Sports" Naturally, they would not speak ill of Millwall. They expressed their opinion, "Millwall can look forward to the new season!"

"There is no problem with relegation!"

"Zhang Yang's coaching ability is worthy of recognition!"

But compared to the big British media, the voice of "Television Sports" can't even make a splash. No matter what they say, it doesn't seem to matter at all.

When the first round of the league approached, media reports also turned to pre-match reports.

Millwall can be placed at the bottom of the list of analytical strength by the media. Naturally, they will not be favored, but in fact, their opponent is Blackburn, or just Blackburn.

Blackburn is not a strong team.

Blackburn experienced a difficult relegation last season, they scored the fewest goals, and the striker's offensive ability was not strong. The head coach Mark Hughes had to sign up for the striker. He bought compatriot Bellamy from Newcastle United. The media commented, "Bellamy's arrival has greatly improved Blackburn's striker ability."

Blackburn's defense is very impressive, and they have added a strong frontcourt. There is no problem with the lineup. Many people think that there is no suspense for Blackburn to win Millwall.

That's the opinion in the media.

As long as it comes to the Millwall game, it will definitely be the opponent's victory.

----

Game day is upon us.

Millwall has been keeping a low profile, no matter what the media says, they haven't responded.

In fact, many players in the team were very angry at the media's comments. After working hard to prepare for the training, they did not think that the team's strength was at the bottom, but Zhang Yang reminded them, "Don't pay attention to what the media says. No matter what they say, they can't affect Us. All we have to do is go out there and try to beat the opponent!"

"Victory can prove everything!"

No Millwall players were interviewed on the match day, which aroused the interest of media reporters, who felt that Millwall was very mysterious.

Yes, mystery!
There are so many analysis reports before the game, but most of them are the analysis of reporters. Millwall did not disclose any news, and almost no players were interviewed.

What is their attitude towards not accepting interviews now?

A lot of journalists went to the press conference because they were sure to see Millwall's young manager there.

Zhang Yang appeared.

When he walked into the press conference, Zhang Yang had a signature smile on his face, and the relaxation of his whole body made him feel like he was sure of victory, but he was very low-key about the game, "We are looking forward to the match at Neal Stadium. The first Premier League game, that will be recorded in the history of the club. Now the game is coming, and I believe the fans who support Millwall are also looking forward to it, but we are a newly promoted team after all, and Blackburn is a traditional Premier League team. There are many things about him that are worth learning from.”

"I hope the team can win, maybe it's a bit too difficult, but who doesn't like winning? But if we lose the game, we won't be too sad. After all, it will take a while for us to adapt to the tense atmosphere of the Premier League... "

The media reporters in the audience listened carefully.

Many media think it is normal for Zhang Yang to show modesty, but some reporters who know Zhang Yang seem to have seen something incredible: How did this arrogant young Chinese become so humble in the Premier League?

Shouldn't he have said 'Millwall must win'?

The scene was eerie.

That is only experienced by a small number of people, and most people think it is normal, even Mark Hughes later, he listened to half of the speech, and felt that this young man was not as exaggerated as the media reported , the character is still very good.

Mark Hughes put on an old-timer look and said with a smile, "Our players will show their strength in the game and help Millwall get familiar with the Premier League!"

Zhang Yang just laughed and listened.

His expression seemed to be a little 'thank you, big brother', but he didn't say it at all.

When Zhang Yang walked out of the press conference and returned to the locker room to face all the players, his face changed, "I only have one request for this game!"

Everyone looked over.

"This is the Neal Stadium, there are nearly three meters of Millwall fans, come to support us, so... let the bloody Blackburn go to hell! If you can score ten goals, don't score nine!"

"We need to show them that Millwall is not to be messed with!"

"!!"

----

"Is Millwall to be trifled with?"

If he heard this question before the game, Blackburn coach Mark Hughes would burst out laughing, "Millwall? What's the big deal!"

It's different now.

Mark Hughes was thinking hard, his face was extremely solemn, and he was holding a breath in his chest, so he almost cursed out loud.

The game lasted only 10 minutes.

In the first round of the league, what will happen in just 10 minutes?But the numbers on the scoreboard clearly explain everything - 2:0, the home team Millwall has scored two goals, Blackburn has not scored a goal, and they lost the whole game in only 10 minutes ball.

"How did that happen?"

Blackburn was stunned...
