Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 230 This is the real big stage!
Compared with last season, Arsenal's strength has declined.

The biggest impact on Arsenal is the departure of Vieira. When it comes to Arsenal, many people can think of the top scorer Henry, but in terms of contribution to the team, the midfielder Vieira is no better than Henry. Difference.

Vieira's departure was a major blow to Arsenal. Head coach Arsene Wenger had to start cultivating a new core. Cesc Fabregas was an option, but it would take a lot of time for the Spaniard to grow up.

In the summer, Arsenal failed to introduce Baptista. The assistant full-back, the famous Ashley Cole, was also involved in the 'defection storm' and was fined by the FA. West was also involved in a rape scandal. A series of problems with important players made Arsenal look very confused. The media also believed that "this season will be a transitional season for Arsenal. Fabregas, Senderos, Van Persie and other newcomers There's potential, but it's not realistic for them to suddenly become the kind of guy Henry is."

What Arsenal need most now is time.

Millwall will not give them time. Zhang Yang thinks that playing against Arsenal is a good choice. After a while, it may be more difficult to compete against Arsenal.

Arsenal are the team to watch.

However, in the first two days of the game, there were more reports related to Millwall, because Millwall's results were astonishing, ranking second in the league after five rounds, and it was impossible to link this result with the newly promoted horse, Millwall Hall is not only the best-performing newly-promoted team, but also one of the best-performing teams in the Premier League.

The opinion of the media is: "Millwall has not experienced a big battle!" It is difficult to get recognition without playing against giants.

The league has just started, and there is still a long time to go. Small clubs occasionally have good results, but it is almost impossible to persist for a season. For example, Millwall and Charlton can rank among the top three in the league. , are also only considered 'provisional rankings'.

"They can't last long!"

The day before the game, what Zhang Yang said in an interview seemed to confirm this point, "It is amazing that we can rank second in the league so far, but it is difficult to maintain good results for too long. I only hope that the team can go smoothly. Relegation!"

Many media started to report on this and continued to analyze——
"Millwall's goal can really only be on relegation. With their formation, it is difficult to continue to play good results!"

"Millwall's home game against Arsenal will be the end of their unbeaten run, but it's been a big deal for them to start like this!"

"Arsenal has many internal problems, but the victory over Millwall still doesn't have much suspense!"

"..."

When he saw these reports, Zhang Yang just smiled silently, which was exactly his purpose.

If you want to win, you have to keep a low profile!
Millwall's performance is so good that it has attracted the attention of many people. If it is too high-profile, it will attract a lot of firepower, which will put a lot of pressure on the team and make every opponent pay attention. There's no benefit to playing against each other.

When the strength is not enough, low-key winning is king!

Arsenal is indeed a difficult opponent, but if you say that Millwall has no chance at home, you can only sneer. Lost at home to Arsenal.

That's just the media's perception.

On the day before the game, after the team finished training in the afternoon, Zhang Yang gathered everyone and asked only one thing, "Tomorrow's game, we must go all out and try to beat Arsenal at home!"

"This is the first time we have met a rich team!"

"I believe that with the quality of our goals, it is enough to challenge Arsenal. Arsenal is nothing special, they lost to Middlesbrough in the fourth round, and we won four games in the first five rounds, and we are still there. Undefeated, so I think we have a strength advantage!"

Zhang Yang's words are very inspiring.

Before the Millwall players also discussed the game in private, they felt that there was little hope of winning Arsenal. After all, Arsenal was the team they could only look up to.

After hearing Zhang Yang's words, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused.

Middlesbrough can beat Arsenal, why can't we?We played much better than Arsenal in the previous games, and we are playing at home again, so we have a great chance!
When thinking of beating Arsenal at home, the players all showed longing looks.

That's Arsenal!
As long as we can win against Arsenal, there will be no more reports questioning our strength, and we will be a strong team in the media, not just a newly promoted team!

----

Zhang Yang reminded all players to try to keep a low profile before the game, but Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger did not fall into the trap. When he was interviewed, he greatly praised Zhang Yang, "He said that Millwall's goal is to relegation ? You will believe it too?"

"A relegation team won't win four out of five rounds!"

"I met Zhang and we talked a little bit. He is a very good young man. Millwall's performance last season was very surprising. This may be a reminder to all Premier League teams. Some teams Don't care, but I don't underestimate Millwall."

"Last week Coleman already said that Millwall builds tactics based on the team. I can't do this, but Zhang seems to be successful. I watched two Millwall game videos. Their style of play It was chaotic, but every player played really well and I think that's the kind of tactics that have been built with the Millwall squad."

"Being able to do this, his tactical ability has already reached the highest point, so Millwall can no longer be interpreted as a 'promoted horse'."

"Tomorrow's game, I hope Arsenal can win, but it's hard to say who will win in a football game. Maybe an amateur team has a chance to beat the giants. This happens often, so I never judge who will win before the game. Whoever wins!"

What Wenger said surprised the media.

No one thought that Wenger would have such a high opinion of Zhang Yang, and the "Millwall tactical issue" that has been disputed in public opinion has come to a conclusion with the French.

The various Premier League coaches also seem to be very interested in the game, and have expressed their views on this focus battle.

When Manchester United coach Ferguson talked about the game, he said, "Wenger is my old opponent. I hope Millwall can win. It is very beneficial to Manchester United. Everyone will hope that their competitors will lose three points." Yes, Millwall is not enough to be Manchester United's opponent.

Chelsea coach Mourinho is a big mouth, but he rarely holds the same opinion as Ferguson, "I hope Millwall wins." But the voice turned and talked about his views on the game, "But Millwall wants to beat Arsenal. It's not easy, I don't like the Frenchman, and I have to admit that his Arsenal is still difficult to deal with."

Chelsea and Arsenal played against each other.

In that game, Chelsea beat Arsenal 1-0, but the goal happened in the 84th minute of the game. Chelsea can only say that it was a narrow victory.

Other Premier League managers have also expressed their views.

In the views of many head coaches, most of them want Millwall to win, because they don't think that Millwall's good results can last the whole season, and Arsenal is a 'permanent' team. Poor, they will definitely be able to catch up later, and at the same time they are not too optimistic about Millwall's victory, after all, Arsenal are not easy to deal with.

Zhang Yang was amused by these comments.

The comments of various coaches almost all hope that Millwall will win, but their reason is, "I am not optimistic that Millwall's good results can be maintained for a season."

I really don't know whether to cry or laugh in this situation.

----

Amidst the public opinion, time flowed to the afternoon of the next day, and the game was about to start.

When the two teams were warming up, most of the fans had already entered the stadium, more than half of them were Millwall fans, but Arsenal fans were also bad, accounting for about a quarter of all fans.

That's a pretty impressive number of away fans.

This game is the focus of the sixth round, and the tickets were sold out early, but because they are also a London team, many Arsenal fans entered the stadium by buying scalped tickets.

The north stand of the stadium is prepared for the visiting team and neutral fans, but it has been occupied by Arsenal fans, which also makes the Neil Stadium more cheering and cheering from the visiting team.

Amid the shouts of fans on both sides, the warm-up players on the court were more active.

At the same time, the pre-match press conference was peaceful. Wenger and Zhang Yang met once and said a few words. There was no conflict between them, but they liked each other. Naturally, they would not be too tit-for-tat.

Wenger was only talking about the Arsenal situation.

Zhang Yang also only talked about topics related to the game, and didn't say anything about Arsenal.

The atmosphere of the venue was harmonious.

When he returned to the locker room, there were only 10 minutes left before the start of the game. Zhang Yang seized the time and emphasized the tactical play --
"Always pay attention to defense!"

"Don't push the formation too far, especially at the beginning, don't give them any chance!"

"Pay more attention to the position, especially the backcourt players!"

"We don't need to score quickly. We have to play a war of attrition with them and play strictly according to tactics. We have the opportunity to make more use of long shots in the frontcourt and try to create opportunities for set kicks. This is our main method!"

"Don't make unnecessary entanglements with them in the frontcourt, we must use our advantages to defeat them!"

Zhang Yang emphasized a lot of things.

That was all emphasized before, but he still took the time to say it again, hoping to deepen the memory of all players.

Everyone is also listening carefully.

This game is not just Zhang Yang who is looking forward to and nervous, but they are also looking forward to and nervous.

That's Arsenal!
It is the first time for Millwall to be promoted to the Premier League, and it is also the first time to meet a giant in the league. As the focus of a round of battle, I don't know how many people will pay attention to it.

This is the real big stage!
