Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 278 He Was Just Lucky!

It is always comforting to have such media support with reports. The external public opinion environment is very favorable for Millwall, but it does not mean that Millwall and Chelsea have a high winning rate in the game.

In fact, most of the media are not optimistic about Millwall. In the analysis of the game in public opinion, the situation of the two teams is also very different.

Chelsea have played more games than Millwall.

Chelsea not only have to participate in the league and the League Cup, but also experienced six Champions League group matches, but they have sufficient bench depth, and the team is also well-equipped so far.

Millwall is different.

After the intensive league, it's hard to say how much strength the main lineup can have left. They also lost Marvin Elliott, who will have a truce for at least a month.

There are also huge doubts over Braniff's ability to play for Millwall.

Although some media captured Braniff's training footage, the Irishman has not played for three consecutive games, and no one knows how his injury is recovering.

Even if Millwall's main lineup is there, the gap with Chelsea's lineup is a bit too big.

Chelsea is the most gorgeous team in Europe. Every position in the team is the world's top stars. Millwall only has a striker worth mentioning, and they are all young young players who are emerging, and Drogba, Kalu, The striker line composed of famous generals such as Kezhiman is much weaker than that.

Recent results can also reflect something.

Millwall drew last game.

Charlton is not a very strong defensive team, but Millwall still failed to score, which also proves that their frontcourt ability is insufficient.

Chelsea's defense is world class.

Mourinho has always attached great importance to defense. His conservative '1:0' football has been criticized by many media, but it must be admitted that Chelsea's defensive ability is quite strong, and ordinary teams cannot break through their goals.

The obvious gap in strength between the two teams cannot be easily bridged.

Millwall has very little hope of winning at home. In response to this confrontation between the first and second in the league, many media also interviewed the two teams separately. The morning before the game, Mourinho said in an interview, "I am looking forward to playing against Millwall. The young Chinese coach has created a miracle in the coaching world. It is not easy for a newly promoted horse to become second in the league. I have watched some of Millwall's games. A good player like Simpson, Braniff and Bent are very good players, but my favorite is Livermore, his name seems to be David? Yes, I think he is the best His defense has shaped the most important barrier for Millwall. I believe he is the most important contributor to Millwall's good results. His long-range shooting ability is also very good. I appreciate him very much. If he can Come to Chelsea, and Lampard will become the toughest combination, I believe he will be the successor of Claude (Makelele)!"

These words immediately excited the media.

Mourinho is openly poaching Millwall players. It is a pity that the poaching target is only Livermore, not Braniff, Darren Bent and other talents.

Some people think it's normal.

The Portuguese like a strong midfielder the most. Chelsea has no shortage of strong midfielders. Lampard and Makelele are both very good. In the summer, Chelsea still spent the transfer fee of the "most expensive African player" and introduced Essien who played for Lyon. , but the performance of the Ghanaians can only be considered average, and it can even be said to be a bit poor, and they did not achieve the desired effect.

Recently, many media broke the news that Chelsea is chasing the soul captain of Germany - Michael Ballack.

Whether Ballack can join Chelsea is hard to say, but as Makelele is getting old, Chelsea will definitely look for his successor. Livermore's performance is not outstanding, but it is only relatively speaking. It is still very eye-catching, and coupled with the ability to shoot from a long distance, he will be a strong midfielder in any team.

Mourinho will never miss such a player.

Analyzing this aspect, Mourinho is not just making smoke bombs, maybe he really wants to get Livermore.

When things can be explained, the report will be more convincing.

The day before the game, the outside world was full of rumors that 'Mourinho valued Livermore', and it was impossible for Millwall not to be affected.

Millwall is preparing for tomorrow's game.

Chelsea is difficult to deal with. Not only is their defense solid, but their offensive ability is also very good. If you want to beat Chelsea, you can't just rely on temporary performance.

Zhang Yang has made a lot of preparations for the game. The tactical theme of the game is to defend and counterattack. When the strength is not as good as the opponent, it is definitely not a good choice to fight against the opponent.

Defensive counterattack is a set of tactical theory, which includes defense and counterattack. The most important preparation for the game against Chelsea is not defense, but counterattack. It is unrealistic to rely on a solid defense to defend for nine or 10 minutes. And to win, you must break the opponent's goal.

Millwall has been practicing fast breaks. The left, right and center, three-way cooperation and running may help the team find opportunities in the game.

On the day when the game is approaching, the training work still allows the players to become familiar with the proposed routine. Whether it will be effective or not depends on tomorrow's on-the-spot performance.

After training in the afternoon, Millwall held a regular press conference. Tomorrow is the game against Chelsea. There are still a lot of reporters who came. When the press conference started, some reporters talked about Mourinho's emphasis on profit. Regarding the topic of Fomor, Zhang Yang only felt amused when the reporter repeated Mourinho's words, "He is optimistic about David? Of course, if Chelsea wants to sign David, and David also agrees to go to Chelsea, I will not object. "

The reporters were a little dazed.

Zhang Yang is not afraid of Livermore's job-hopping. Livermore is a player who is "bewitched by words". The improvement of his long-range shooting ability depends on his trust in himself. Judging from the improvement of Livermore's long-range shooting, he has great confidence in him. My trust is more than just admiration. Even with the temptation of Chelsea's high salary, Livermore will not choose to leave.

This is confidence.

Mourinho has already made provocations, and Zhang Yang will not make the other party feel at ease, "But I don't think he is optimistic about a certain player. It can be meaningful. He is not a coach who is good at developing players. In fact, I think he To describe his vision as bad is a compliment."

"Look at Chelsea's lineup. Their best player recently is Joe Cole, they have Lampard, Makelele, Arjen Robben, but none of them have anything to do with him, they're all former players. Mr. Ranieri brought it in."

"What about him? He bought Mendes, Ferreira, Kezhiman, and bought Wright Jr., Essien... There are so many, I can't count them all, but these players have performed very well. Is it? But they spent a lot of transfer fees and could even buy a few Millwall."

"Chelsea's current results are great, but he is just lucky. The players who performed well are all the 'legacy' left by Mr. Ranieri. He used these players to win every game, and the players he brought You can only sit on the bench."

"So I said that it doesn't make sense for him to be optimistic about a certain player. Most of the transfers fail. He only bought one-tenth of the value for the money he spent."

Zhang Yang's disdain was evident.

Many reporters in the audience were stunned. After thinking about it carefully, they felt that what Zhang Yang said really made sense.

Chelsea's results are good, but their transfers are bad enough. A lot of euros are poured down, and all they buy are bench players. Mourinho is really a 'no vision' manager.

Is Mourinho optimistic about a certain player?

In Zhang Yang's 'translation', the meaning is more or less like, "This player has no future, and he will not perform well at Chelsea."

The reporters immediately grinned.

They wrote down Zhang Yang's words, word by word, and then released them through various channels.

Mourinho was almost blown away when he heard the news!

Mourinho stared at that line of text for a long time, and he suddenly felt that there was no way to refute it directly. Chelsea’s good results, most of them relied on the original team, and the players he brought in also performed well, such as Rica. Do-Carvalho has always been Chelsea's main central defender, but there are more players who have performed poorly. Even the newly introduced Essien and Wright-Phillips have not performed satisfactorily.

But Mourinho will never admit it!
He simply ignored it.

"After winning Millwall, let's see what that guy will say!" Mourinho gritted his teeth fiercely.

The next day is game day, and the news coverage is still very hot.

It is a rare opportunity to step on the "proud" Mourinho. Many Premier League coaches have turned out to "support" Zhang Yang's statement. Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger said, "He (Mourinho) may lead the team. The ability is good, but the player's vision... Ahem, I can only say that it is very average. I hope Millwall can win, Zhang is a coach who can bring surprises to people!"

Wenger's sense of Zhang Yang is dozens of times stronger than Mourinho's. Wenger and Zhang Yang have a good personal relationship. Last time Arsenal played against Millwall, the two chatted for a while after the game.

Ferguson will not miss the opportunity. The old jazz has a bad impression of the two, but in comparison, Zhang Yang is a new opponent, and Chelsea is an old opponent. He said, "Mourinho has no vision at all. .For the game, I want Millwall to win. That's good for United's form."

This is inevitable.

Manchester United's goal is to compete for the championship. The biggest competitor is Chelsea. Chelsea is the top of the league table, six points more than No.2 Millwall, and eleven points more than Manchester United. If Chelsea loses the game, Manchester United and Chelsea The difference can be reduced to eight, and the single-digit difference is always promising.

Middlesbrough coach McClaren also said, "I hope Millwall wins! Chelsea should be careful, Zhang Yang is a very capable young man."

Everton coach David Moyes's perception of Mourinho is extremely bad. When Chelsea and Everton met, Mourinho really satirized him. He said unceremoniously, "I It's hard to be sure but I want Millwall to win, the Portuguese is really hard to impress."

Next, the media reporters specifically asked each coach. Except for a few neutral coaches, other coaches expressed their support for Millwall, and many satirized Mourinho's vision.

"Manchester Sport" ridiculed, "He almost offended everyone. Chelsea has also become the public enemy of English football!"

----

The game is not just a confrontation of saliva.

This game is of great significance to the two teams. Not only Millwall attaches great importance to the game, but Chelsea also attaches great importance to it.

Millwall and Chelsea are only six points away!

Six points is not an absolute gap. Millwall may catch up. The outside media are talking about 'small clubs' performance will decline in the second half', but whether Millwall's performance will decline is only in theory. , Millwall's performance is not worse than other teams.

If it was last season, Millwall's performance was enough to rank first in the league, but Chelsea are very strong this season.

Mourinho takes the game very seriously.

Until the start of the game, Mourinho and Zhang Yang tacitly said nothing. At the press conference, the two also discussed the team's recent situation and the game, and also talked about the outstanding players.

That's all.

Soon it's game time.

The Neal Stadium was already overcrowded, and Millwall performed very well. The stadium was almost full. There was no accident in this game. The only difference was that the ticket sales were hotter. It is said that a few hours before the game, the scalpers for the back seats were also fired. Two hundred pounds, there are still people who want to spend a lot of money to buy tickets. Some fans who bought tickets in advance can't help but be tempted to resell the tickets.

The heat of the scene can be imagined.

The Millwall fans of the home team kept shouting slogans to cheer for the team. With the shouts of the fans, the two teams lined up in two rows and entered the field from the player tunnel.

Other players, coaches, staff, and followers enter the court together with the team.

The camera points to the two head coaches.

Zhang Yang sat on the bench with a smile on his face, and looked around at the fans stands around, his demeanor seemed very relaxed; Mourinho kicked his chest with both hands, and was turning his head to complain to assistant coach Boas, his mind seemed to be Not at the game either.

"Sky Sports" commentator Mike Brand couldn't help sighing, "This game is the focus. Both Millwall and Chelsea have endless topics to talk about. Their coaches are also the topic of the Premier League."

"Both of them seem to be relaxed now, not too concerned about the game, maybe both of them have confidence in the game, but for sure, both sides want to win, Millwall will want to catch up with the three points, Chelsea will also want to pull away. gap."

"So what will happen to the game, let us watch patiently!"
