Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 279 The most correct moment to hang up
Chelsea are not only the top of the league table, they have also played quite amazing results.

In the more than ten years since the establishment of the Premier League, there is no record of scoring 55 points in [-] rounds: Manchester United, which 'dominated the Premier League', failed; Arsenal, which competed with Manchester United, failed; Blackburn, who won the Premier League once Didn't do it either.

Now Chelsea have done it.

Some football analysts are starting to talk about 'Chelsea will set a Premier League points record'!

Chelsea has also attracted the attention of the world.

As the second place in the league, Millwall is also attracting attention because they are just a newly promoted team. The ability of the newly promoted team to beat Manchester United and Arsenal to rank second is an incredible thing, and those who know the inside story know it better. , Millwall was only a mid-range team in the English Championship last season, and there was not a lot of signings in the summer transfer. It is incredible that such a lineup has achieved good results.

The match between Millwall and Chelsea is enough to attract the attention of the world.

According to the internal statistics of "Sky Sports", the game was broadcast live by TV stations from 7000 countries, and more than [-] million people will watch the game for the first time.

This data is shocking.

The number of spectators in a Champions League final is only 7000 to [-] million. The number of [-] million people is quite surprising, but considering that half of them are contributed by Chinese fans, it is understandable why there are so many people.

The sports channel of ZY TV is also broadcasting the game live. When the game started, the commentator Liu Honglei introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, and then said expectantly, "This is Millwall led by Zhang Yang, and Mourinho led the team." A head-to-head meeting with Chelsea! League One and League Two, it's sure to be an exciting game!"

Other TV commentators have expressed similar sentiments.

"This will be a wonderful battle!"

"The two sides will have a fierce collision, and everyone will give 100% competitive spirit to the game!"

"We're looking forward to it!"

"This may be the most exciting game in the Premier League this season!"

"..."

When everyone was looking forward to the excitement of the game, the opening situation disappointed everyone.

The game has just started, and both sides chose a solid defense.

The two teams have a tacit understanding.

Neither Chelsea nor Millwall set up formations for head-to-head confrontation, and the fighting in the midfield was not intense. Several attacks were mainly based on probing, and football was passed near the center line more often. Excellent cooperation No, no individual performances, no threats, not even a single shot on goal...not at all.

It may be considered a shot: in the 3rd minute, Jody Morris kicked a 'bad shot' 30 meters from the goal. The football crossed a line and fell lightly towards the goal.

This is still a shot that landed inside the goal frame.

Unfortunately, no energy.

30 meters is still too far for Morris, and shooting is almost equivalent to passing the ball to goalkeeper Petr Cech.

The first 15 minutes of the game were spent like this.

The two teams were not in a rush to attack, and the fight was not intense. Most of the players stayed in their own half to defend. The offense was tacit, you come once, I come once, the scene made people feel a little drowsy.

"Both teams played very conservatively." "Sky Sports" commentator Mike Bullard was still in an embarrassing 'rounder', "but this is also the most correct choice. The two teams have not played against each other in recent years. They are not familiar with each other, they are very cautious and need time to have a general understanding of each other..."

"This also proves that both sides attach great importance to the game. The two head coaches, Mourinho and Zhang Yang, are very cautious about the game..."

Both Chelsea and Millwall are doing probing attacks. Compared with the fast-paced game, the scene is a bit dull. Most of the time the football is passed back and forth. When it reaches the foot of one side, the number of return passes can catch up. The number of passes forward, the confrontation in the midfield is not fierce, and the game scene is really a bit boring.

The camera was focused on the two head coaches: Mourinho watched the game with his arms folded;

For Mourinho and Zhang Yang, the game situation is not unexpected, just like Mike Brad analyzed, between Millwall and Chelsea, understanding is limited to watching the other game video, specific games and videos no the same.

In Mourinho's view, Millwall is a serious opponent.

The strength of this team's lineup is very poor, and it is often the side that is suppressed when playing against strong teams, but they win most of the games. Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United all lost to Millwall one by one.

How did they do that?
Mourinho has watched a few videos, but he still hasn't figured it out. What he doesn't understand often means danger.

Zhang Yang knows Chelsea very well, and it is precisely because of his understanding that he understands the gap between the two teams. Millwall must stabilize and deal with the game with a calm posture to have a chance to gain a chance.

So the opening collision was not intense.

But as time goes on, when the two sides have a certain understanding, or Chelsea feel that they have an understanding of Millwall, the offense becomes much stronger.

The game gradually became exciting.

Chelsea gradually strengthened their offensive. They began to often hit the center line, and even advanced to the front of Millwall's penalty area. Millwall still defended firmly, occasionally hitting a wave of advancement and counterattack.

Millwall did not plan to compete with Chelsea. Chelsea easily lost the advantage on the scene.

Chelsea fans also came alive.

The Chelsea fans who came to the scene began to cheer for Chelsea's offensive.

----

Mourinho is watching the game carefully.

If you encounter an ordinary team, the game has such an overwhelming advantage, the only thing missing is a goal.

As long as there is a goal, then the victory will belong to Chelsea.

Just like what Mourinho said after the game against Manchester City, "The opponent can't make mistakes or concede goals. Everything depends on whether we can score. Once we can't score, we take away a point. Once in, take three points." At that time, the goal relied on the mistake of Manchester City's Chinese defender Sun Jihai, and Chelsea relied on a wave of lightning raids to send the ball into the gate of Manchester City.

The same goes for other games.

Chelsea scored a goal first, which means they have a guarantee of victory. They will solidify their defense and slowly look for opportunities.

Otherwise, one goal is enough to win.

This is the reason why Mourinho was criticized for "1-0 doctrine" utilitarian football.

Millwall is no ordinary team.

From the first minute of the game, Mourinho was observing carefully, and he also recognized the sentence 'Millwall's tactics are based on lineup construction'.

That is not easy, even unimaginable.

If only a small part of the tactics are improved based on the player's ability, it's nothing, but the overall tactics are developed based on the lineup, which is really scary.

So Mourinho watched the game carefully, hoping to find something useful from Millwall's style of play, which might also help improve Chelsea's tactics.

In addition, Mourinho is also very cautious. Millwall can win so many games, it is absolutely impossible to rely on luck, so how did they win?

Now Chelsea must also be careful, because the opponent has some things they don't understand.

The unknown is the most terrifying!

----

The game is going well for Chelsea.

When Chelsea gradually strengthened their offensive, they suppressed Millwall, and occasionally wonderful cooperation would also threaten Millwall's goal.

The circumstances of the game were not unexpected.

Even though Millwall is second in the league, everyone knows that their lineup is not comparable to the top teams. Just look at the star players who are just a few teenagers, and you can get a general idea.

Those teams who don't understand the situation feel a little different.

Just like Chinese fans.

Most Chinese fans know about Zhang Yang, but they haven’t watched the Millwall game. The main reason is that there is no live broadcast of the Premier League in China, and few fans deliberately watch the game on a small online platform. The only thing they know is that Millwall Seoul's points rank second in the league.

How much difference can there be between second in the league and first in the league?
In the impression of most people, there will be no difference in strength between the two. The difference is just a matter of performance. When seeing Millwall who is completely suppressed on the field, some fans can't figure it out--
"Isn't Millwall second in the league?"

"Why is it suppressed so much? It feels like Chelsea are playing against a small club!"

"It's too bad!"

"There is not even a single star player in the Millwall squad!"

"There is no suspense in the game!"

"..."

Many people also discussed it on the sports forum, and soon they got a professional answer, "Millwall is a small club, they are just newly promoted, and their lineup is at the bottom of the Premier League. The reason why they can rank second in the league is because of publicity. Personal leadership ability!"

"So that's how it is!" Many fans felt a sudden realization, and at the same time they admired Zhang Yang even more.

Mourinho is great!

so what?
Mourinho led Porto to win the Triple Crown, but Porto is the top giant in Portugal, and it is a matter of course to win the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese Cup.As for the UEFA Champions League... Porto is also very competitive okay! ?At least they qualify every year!
After coming to Chelsea, with the support of countless pounds, Mourinho can buy players at will. Chelsea has the top star lineup in Europe, and it is only natural that they play well.

What about Millwall?
Millwall is just a small club. Compared with the Premier League level, the finances are too poor. Leading such a team to achieve good results is the greatest proof of coaching ability.If Zhang Yang can lead Millwall and win the Premier League championship, he will definitely become the top coach, even more famous than Mourinho.

Chelsea won the league title?
Very normal.

Millwall win the league title?That would be a miracle in Premier League history!

At the same time, many Chinese fans are thinking: "Zhang Yang can lead the Millwall team and achieve such good results. If it is replaced by the Chinese team with a 'poor lineup', maybe they can break out of Asia and go to the world?"

cough cough...

Zhang Yang didn't know that domestic fans had so many thoughts, and his mind was currently focused on the game.

Millwall played very passively.

Zhang Yang can relax a bit for the time being, the 'precognition' did not judge the goal, Chelsea's offensive is very fierce, and it is not easy to score in a short time.

Meanwhile Millwall has a chance.

From one statistic, it can explain some problems: So far, Millwall has taken four shots, which is only one less than Chelsea's five shots.

Of course, the outside world doesn't see it that way.

Chelsea took the initiative in the situation, and every shot was very threatening; Millwall played very passively, and most of the shots were long-range shots from the outside, which was no different from directly giving the ball to the opponent.

But what Zhang Yang wants is the shooting data.

Zhang Yang knows Millwall all too well, and the gap between the two sides is also very clear.

In terms of data, Chelsea is a nine-star team. Millwall is the strongest, but only seven and a half stars. Braniff and Elliott are not on the field, which has a certain impact on the strength of the lineup. , the evaluation strength of 'Spiritual Divination' is only seven stars and one point.

Seven stars and nine stars, there is a gap of two stages!
If Millwall and Chelsea played against each other normally, they could only rely on the help of God if they wanted to win. Zhang Yang also knew that God was on vacation today, because the luck of "Spiritual Divination" was only "auspicious", and "auspicious" is not a good result, compared to " Fierce is not much stronger. In other words, it is almost impossible for Millwall to rely on luck to win.

If they play against other teams, such as Arsenal and Liverpool, with the strength of seven stars and one point, plus the luck of "ji", they can barely fight, but Chelsea is different. They won [-] rounds in [-] rounds. It can be seen how strong the control over the game is. Chelsea's style of play is solid defense, and then use the frontcourt ability to score goals. The conservative style of play combined with strong strength is simply invincible, especially the strength of small clubs Insufficient, let alone challenge Chelsea.

Millwall is not that special.

So if you want to beat Chelsea, you must have enough patience and a special style of play, just like now: the team puts most of their energy on the defense of the backcourt, and even voluntarily gave up the competition with Chelsea in the midfield , It is to use the intensive defense of crowd tactics to prevent Chelsea from finding opportunities in front of the goal.

Plus, it's an offense.

The offensive strategy formulated before the game is based on long passes and long shots. Both options will not take up too much 'player resources'. Few players can play a simple offensive mode and counterattack. The same is true, either rely on the player's personal ability, rely on long-range shots from the outside, or try to create free kick opportunities to allow Josh Simpson to play.

and many more.

These simple offensive methods are the reason why Millwall has a lot of shots.

Chelsea's defense is tight, and it is impossible to defend the perimeter. As long as there is a chance from the perimeter, they will come to a lob pass or a long shot, and they can always hit a threatening shot.

This is the opportunity.

In the eyes of others, a 'threat shot' is still equivalent to not scoring a goal, but in Zhang Yang's eyes, it is different. A 'threat shot' means that the player's shooting is in good condition. Lucky bonus', or just being able to score the ball?
cough cough...

This style of play was specially prepared for Millwall. It is naturally impossible for other teams to imitate, and it is suspected of relying too much on ability, but Zhang Yang doesn't care, because it is impossible to beat Chelsea with a normal style of play.

Winning is all that matters!
At the moment when he became the head coach, Zhang Yang didn't care about his face and was ready to hang up.

Now is the most correct moment to open up!
