Chapter 218 Retaliation and Problems

As a newly promoted Millwall defeated the Premier League powerhouse Blackburn at home, it can barely be regarded as a small upset, but it will not be taken care of by the media and fans. After all, Blackburn is not a giant, and they have to work hard for relegation every season. , It is also normal to lose to a newly promoted team in a round of the league.

However, winning by a big score is different!

That was 5 to 0!

Just by watching the game, one can imagine how miserable Blackburn was abused. After the game, all the media in the stadium gathered at the press conference, and they couldn't wait to conduct interviews.

The first one the reporters waited for was Blackburn manager Mark Hughes.

As the side that lost by a big score, Mark Hughes didn't have a good face. After walking on the stage, he just said, "This is a very tragic defeat. Millwall is not easy to deal with, but we are careless. The team Every player in the team is careless, even I don't think Millwall is much of a threat. But in fact I was wrong."

"I think the teams who are going to play Millwall should be reminded to be careful, they are not simply newly promoted."

Many reporters in the audience dismissed it.

They feel that Mark Hughes is exaggerating the strength of Millwall to cover up the fact that Blackburn is not performing well.

5 to 0, too miserable.

Mark Hughes is definitely unwilling to admit that the failure is all due to Blackburn. He can only say that Millwall is very good.

This is a normal reaction.

After Mark Hughes left, they began to wait for publicity, and interviewing the winner was the most important thing.

Zhang Yang came a little late.

He went back to the locker room, encouraged all the players, praised everyone's performance, and then came to the press conference.

When Zhang Yang walked to the door, he took a closer look inside and found at least [-] reporters. The number of reporters was a bit surprising. There were only about [-] reporters in the pre-match press conference.

It seems that Millwall's big win surprised them all?

Zhang Yang walked into the venue with a smile on his face, and he also went to the stage to do a good job, and then he began his presentation of the game, "The result was unexpected."

"I originally thought that we would use the first-round game against Blackburn to let the team learn from experience, but I didn't expect us to win by a big score."

"We were just a little bit lucky, Blackburn seemed to be out of shape. But anyway, the victory is still gratifying. This is the first Premier League game in Millwall history. Our performance cannot be said to be perfect, but I am very happy. Every player is very happy with the performance."

After Zhang Yang finished his low-key narration, a reporter asked, "Millwall won by a big score, it is impossible to rely on luck alone, Mr. Zhang Yang, can you analyze the reason for the victory?"

It was a reporter from The Times.

Zhang Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, did not expect a reporter to 'help' speak?Then he put his hands under his chin, thought carefully before saying, "If you want to talk about the reasons, I think there are three points..."

"The first point is that we are fully prepared for the game. During the summer preparations, the team spent most of their time in closed training. Every player worked hard. When dealing with the first round of the league, the coaching staff also did research on Blackburn. . I believe we are better prepared than our opponents."

"In addition, our luck is also very good. This is the second point. It is a bit unexpected to score two goals in 10 minutes. Maybe it was the beginning of the game, and the opponent has not yet been able to enter the game. Those two goals helped Big."

"Then there is the home field advantage. Many Millwall fans came to the scene and gave the team the closest support. I believe this is an important reason for the team's performance!"

Zhang Yang analyzed three reasons very low-key.

The reporters in the audience felt very weird. He talked for a long time without mentioning himself. Luck and home games are all external.

Some reporters who knew Zhang Yang were thinking: When did this guy become so low-key?It was like this before the game, and it is still like this now.

Not quite right!

The reporters still want to dig deeper. They always feel that Millwall's big win is not only due to external reasons. There must be some things they don't know, such as why Millwall's offense can play so smoothly?

Why are Millwall players able to play so well?

and many more.

These are things that can be easily seen in the game, maybe it is the reason for Millwall's tactics?

The reporters wanted Zhang Yang to talk about Millwall's preparations, and tactics-related preparations would be even better, but Zhang Yang just talked about things, didn't mention tactics-related things at all, and hardly commented on the performance of the players. It seemed that Millwall I won the game, relying on luck.

A reporter asked a key question that must mention the players, "Which player do you think performed the best?"

Zhang Yang had to talk about the players.

The reporters wanted to hear Braniff's name. Braniff scored two goals and performed very well, but Zhang Yang talked about the most interesting name, "Our goalkeeper, Hislop !"

"why?"

Zhang Yang shrugged, "We scored five goals but conceded none, so the biggest contributor to winning the game is the goalkeeper."

Many reporters opened their mouths and didn't know what to say.

Can't you?But it seems reasonable!

correct?

But in the game, Hislop didn't show a few times at all. Most of the time he stayed leisurely in the backcourt. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fan who came to watch the game.

Many reporters felt that their IQ had been insulted, and they were determined to find something out of the mouth of the Chinese in front of them. A reporter immediately asked, "Millwall won the game by a big margin in the first round, so what? Mr Zhang Yang, can you tell us what Millwall's goals are for this season?"

"Relegation!"

Zhang Yang quickly answered.

"But Millwall played so well in the first round..." the reporter asked unwillingly.

Zhang Yang asked strangely, "If I remember correctly, there are a total of 38 rounds in the Premier League. A good performance in one round does not mean anything. We are just a newly promoted team, and the champion of the English Championship is still a newly promoted team, so our goal is of course Relegation! Moreover, even relegation is very difficult. After all, our strength is at the bottom of the Premier League. Maybe we want to complete relegation, which is more difficult than other teams competing for the Premier League championship!"

"..."

Many reporters were unwilling to be silent.

They finally found something strange: what the Chinese in front of them said should have been said by them, just like many reports before the game, constantly saying 'Millwall ranks at the bottom in strength, it is basically impossible to keep relegation' .

Is this revenge?

This young Chinese was dissatisfied with the pre-match reports, so he dealt with the news content he saw!
It sure is!
The reporters were full of anger, they were completely fooled, and they didn't cover any interesting news: the reason for winning was good preparation, luck and home field advantage?Best player is Hislop?Millwall aiming to avoid relegation?
What's there to report!
Zhang Yang didn't care about the feelings of the media reporters.

He did it on purpose!

During the summer preparations, the media did not say bad things about Millwall, denying their strength, and added all kinds of irony, as if Millwall was about to be relegated. Now that Millwall has won, it seems that he is about to What does the statement prove?
NO!

He has no reason to prove it to the media, so he will fall into the trap of the media!

There is still one reason for Zhang Yang to do this, and that is to make the next opponent unclear about Millwall's strength.

If you tell the reporters everything and keep chanting 'our goal is the league title', it will be difficult to deal with an opponent, because they will see Millwall as a club fighting for the championship. Team.

Millwall is in the top league, but they don't yet have the strength to dominate.

You should be low-key, you should be low-key!

----

The media had nothing to report that day.

Regarding Millwall's 5-0 victory over Blackburn, they could only analyze reasons such as 'Blackburn's carelessness', 'adequate preparation' and 'good luck' according to Zhang Yang's statement, and they could not find other reasons.

Many football analysts also carefully watched the video of the game, but they came to the same conclusion: Millwall's tactics are very simple, and they don't seem to care much about winning. They really just performed well.

Many people are confused about Millwall.

They also had a general impression of the game: Millwall performed well, and Blackburn was careless.

This is what Zhang Yang is happy to see.

After returning to the club, Zhang Yang praised everyone's performance, then disbanded the team and announced, "Two days off!"

"But be sure not to mess around!"

Amidst the cheers of a group of players, everyone left the club.

Zhang Yang didn't leave.

The team beat Blackburn by a big score, which is indeed very happy, but some problems were exposed in the game.

Others don't care, but Zhang Yang takes it seriously.

That is physical fitness.

The whole team had a two-week physical training in July. The players recovered well, but they were basically at the level of last season.

It was nothing, and Zhang Yang didn't care.

But when the game is in progress, the problem arises: at the last time, some players can't keep up physically.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a while, and he understood the reason: the requirement of the new tactics is to speed up the pace, and the fast-paced game will also consume players' physical energy faster.

For example, David Livermore, a player with excellent physical fitness, of course there will be no problem, but most players do not have such ample physical fitness, and they are almost exhausted after persisting for a whole game.

This is the first round of the league!
If it's just a few rounds of the league, there is no big problem, but the season continues, and when the schedule is intensive, the problem will become bigger and bigger.

First of all, the rapid consumption of players' physical energy will definitely affect the state of the game.

In addition, it is easy to cause injury.

Thinking about it from a distance, he knew that the problem would be too serious if it continued, so Zhang Yang approached Ebenezer, and his first sentence was, "Sign a professional physical coach as soon as possible!"

"Must, as soon as possible! Find someone capable!"

Ebenezer covered his forehead, his expression became very helpless.
