Chapter 225 Process Does Not Represent Results

Aston Villa is a football club located in Birmingham, central England. They are one of the oldest clubs in England, having been established as early as 1874.

In the early years Aston Villa won seven top league titles and seven FA Cups.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, Aston Villa's performance has declined, but it has also been able to rank in the forefront of the league consecutively. It is one of the top teams in England's top league.

Last season, Aston Villa ranked tenth in the league.

This may be a description of Aston Villa's current strength-a team that has no worries about relegation, but it is difficult to do more.In the summer transfer market, coach O'Reilly did not have any eye-catching gains. Kevin Phillips and Berger came, Vassell and Hitzlsperger left, and the overall strength of the team did not change much.

Millwall have no fear of Aston Villa.

With the increase of the new tactics, Millwall has already been able to exert the same strength as Aston Villa. In addition, he also has several supernatural abilities. In addition, he is playing at home, and the chances of defeating the opponent are still very high. .

So Zhang Yang used the game to familiarize the team with the new formation.

When the two teams played, Millwall's starting lineup surprised many people-Marvin Elliott got the start, and there was only one player on the front line.

Millwall changed formation!
This is unexpected by many people. Marvin Elliott is one of the controversial points. Elliott did not play in the first three games. He was the "heroic" player last season, but he was only That's it, it's not uncommon for the hero of the promotion of the English Championship to have difficulty getting a chance in the Premier League. Unexpectedly, Elliott started in the fourth round.

Could it be that a Millwall player was injured and Elliott was forced to play as a last resort?

But looking at Millwall's bench, everyone denied the idea, because Braniff and Smicer were both on the bench, and they showed no signs of injury.

Why did Elliott start?
Is it normal rotation?

Aston Villa is not a weak team. They played against them with 'rotation players'. Does Millwall look down on their opponents?
Many people can't understand it.

Millwall's formation adjustment has made many people unable to understand. They don't think Elliott has the strength to start in the Premier League.

"This may be the key to Millwall's loss!" Some media immediately made a 'judgment'.

Marvin Elliott?

He's just a player at the Championship level, what's the point of his playing?There's talent in the Millwall team, but it might be Braniff, or Josh Simpson, but certainly not Elliott.

Also, what is puzzling is that Millwall's starting striker is Darren Bent, not Braniff, who has been 'proclaimed'. Braniff has been performing well. If there is only one starting striker, it should be It was for Braniff to play.

Subsequent games seemed to bear that out.

When the game started, Aston Villa somewhat suppressed Millwall. Even if they were away, they performed quite strongly. Millwall did not play the strength of the previous games, and played a little passively at home.

"It's so conservative!"

Many 'football commentators' shook their heads unconsciously. Just watching the game, they knew that Millwall sent double midfielders to increase defense, and some sacrifices were necessary in offense.

Why are they fighting like this?
Do you just want to get a point and keep the tie?

"Maybe that's the case." A football analyst said, "Millwall was originally a relegation team, but we think highly of them. A team with the goal of relegation can win under Aston Villa. One point is actually completely acceptable.”

They definitely didn't expect that Zhang Yang was just experimenting with a new formation.

Aston Villa is not too strong, not too weak, and it is playing at home, which is just suitable as a touchstone for the new formation. If you want the team to adapt to a set of tactics, regular games are the best place. After one game, everyone will adapt to the new formation, which is better than a few days of training.

Although there are some risks, for example, Millwall may lose the game, but Zhang Yang doesn't care too much. There are 38 games in a season, and if you lose one game, you lose one game.

If the team can adapt to tactics in one game, it will be of great help to the future.

Zhang Yang doesn't think the team will lose either. He has several abilities that affect the game, such as 'prediction', 'speaking words' and 'luck bonus', plus Livermore's long-range shots, Simpson's Free-kicks, Millwall will finish the goal whenever they get the chance.

The outside world didn't know Zhang Yang's thoughts. When they saw that Millwall was falling behind, they immediately began to criticize Millwall's conservative tactics. Millwall has changed their formation, but they still have no tactics to speak of. Their style of play is also very conservative, with four defenders and two defensive midfielders. Against Aston Villa..."

The media did not understand why Millwall did this.

The end result was surprising.

Millwall was passive throughout the game, with only 40.00% possession rate and the second most shots in the game, but they won Aston Villa with two goals.

The process of the game was very difficult, until the 75th minute, the score on the field was still 0-0.

In the 76th minute, it was time for a change.

Millwall got a set kick opportunity 24 meters from the goal. This position can be said to be very good, but most people are not optimistic about scoring goals because Millwall does not have players who are good at free kicks.

Josh Simpson's performance made most people shut up. He kicked an exquisite arc and hoisted the ball directly into the dead corner of the goal. Aston Villa goalkeeper Sorens had no choice but to face the shot. Can watch football fly in.

This is the first goal.

After that, Aston Villa launched a massive offensive, but it was Millwall who scored in the end. It was a counterattack opportunity in the 84th minute. Si, calmly put the ball into the goal.

2 is better than 0!

This is also the final result.

Millwall won the fourth round of the league. After the game, many media were surprised. They kept talking about Millwall's tactics, talking about Millwall's passive style of play, and criticizing Millwall. coach, but Millwall's results are very good.

Four rounds, three wins and one tie!
They won four rounds of the new season unbeaten, ranked third in the league with ten points, second only to Chelsea and Charlton, who had won all four rounds, and also pressed Manchester United below with a goal difference advantage.

This result is definitely not what Millwall fans dared to imagine.

The opinions of Millwall fans are similar to others. They do support Millwall, but Millwall's lineup is indeed one of the worst teams in the Premier League. Even 'one' can be removed. In their view, it is good for Millwall to avoid relegation, and there is no need to talk about good results.

The current results are unexpected.

After the game, every Millwall fan was very happy.

Although the media always criticize 'Millwall's tactics' and 'criticize Millwall's coaching staff', they don't understand profound tactical issues, but it is a fact that Millwall won.

There have been four rounds in the new season, and we actually ranked third!
This is the Premier League!

Now it can be regarded as the best achievement record in Millwall's century-old history, and stand at a new height that has never been reached!
Even if this ranking cannot be maintained for long, Millwall is satisfied.

At least they used to have it!
----

The British media, which is in stark contrast to Millwall fans, should be said to be 'most of the British media'.

After the end of the fourth round of the Premier League, many media came forward again and criticized Millwall's backward play. "Millwall has no tactics at all. Their good results are entirely due to the temporary performance of the players."

"Luck is also indispensable. Villa suppressed the whole game, but allowed Millwall to score two goals."

"Josh Simpson is a genius, his free kicks are beautiful, it's a shame he's at Millwall..."

"Braniff was brilliant but didn't even get a chance to play!"

"Darren Bent? Maybe he scored a lot, but he's far behind Braniff!"

"..."

If you only look at the media reports, it seems that Millwall has lost four games in a row, but the reality is that Millwall has played quite well, and the situation has become a little strange.

Many media are also very puzzled.

Why did Millwall perform so well?What they saw was that Millwall's tactics were useless, but every player performed very well in the game, and the latter was the key to Millwall's victory.

But it has been like this for four consecutive games, and they also feel that something is wrong.

If you want to comment on Millwall, you can only praise their players. In terms of overall style of play, there is nothing to talk about.

It was also a surprise that Millwall won this round.

Throughout the game, Aston Villa kept the situation suppressed, with the number of shots, the number of offensive threats, and ball possession rate all dominant, but in the end they lost the game.

Aston Villa coach O'Reilly also said indignantly, "Losing is unfair, and the result does not represent the process."

"We have more ball possession than them, more shots than them, more passes than them, more corner kicks than them... other offensive statistics are better than them. But we are the ones who lose in the end! This may be a professional league, and the process does not represent the result. Unfortunately, we are on the losing side."
