Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 286 Mourinho is optimistic about you!
"In the No.20 round of the league, Millwall defeated Chelsea at home and took all three points to officially enter the championship ranks!"

"Now we can say with certainty that Millwall has a shot at fighting for the league title!"

"Millwall showed extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit. When they were behind by one goal, they scored three goals in a row and overtook them. After this game, they were only three points away from Chelsea. If they continue to perform, they are expected to surpass them!"

"Maybe Millwall can become the fifth Premier League champions!"

"..."

After the game, Millwall's performance was recognized, and many media commentators made similar voices.

This is very rare.

Before Millwall's home game against Chelsea, they were already No.2 in the league, six points behind Chelsea, and five points more than No.3 Manchester United. Such a good result was not considered to have the hope of winning the championship. ', more people regard 'Millwall is expected to win' as just a joke.

It's different now.

In the head-on collision with Chelsea, Millwall showed tenacious fighting spirit, unyielding spirit and active will to win. Many media and fans were moved by the "miracle" of scoring three goals in the second half.

Facing Chelsea's solid defense, which team can score three goals in ten minutes?Perhaps most teams, after tying the score or overtaking, will hesitate whether to continue to attack, and they will not even have the aggressiveness.

Millwall did it.

The players on the field have been working hard, the head coach Zhang Yang adjusted and commanded calmly, and the whole team worked together to create the miracle of three consecutive goals.

That is a rare 'spirit'.

There have been 21 rounds in the league, including this game. Millwall is only three points away from Chelsea. The stable performance is also one of the reasons for the affirmation. Many media have characterized Millwall as a team with the possibility of winning the championship. ', also represents a certain degree of recognition.

The Premier League is an open league and one of the top competitions in the world. The Football Association advertises the Premier League as 'the most competitive' and 'the most open in the world'. However, in the more than ten years of history of the Premier League, the league championship has been seriously monopolized.

Manchester United is the dominant team in the league championship.

In the past ten years, when talking about the "Premier League champion", Manchester United must be mentioned. The only one that can compete with Manchester United is Arsenal led by Frenchman Arsene Wenger.

In 1995, Blackburn emerged suddenly and won a league championship.

That was the only time in more than ten years, perhaps worthy of Blackburn fans recall decades, other teams have no chance, last season there was a team to break the monopoly, that is the strong rise of the 'ruble offensive' Chelsea.

Looking back at the history of the Premier League, we can know that the Premier League is said to be an 'open league', and the competition is also very fierce, but there are very few teams qualified to compete for the championship.

From the beginning of the season, the championship is almost fixed.

Only three teams are expected to compete for the title, one is defending champions Chelsea, one is dominant Manchester United, and the other is 'from time to time' Arsenal who perform well.

Other teams basically have no chance.

The rankings over half of the season are enough to prove that the judgments of the media and fans are not wrong. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are all ranked in the top four, and there is only one more newly promoted Millwall in the middle.

Millwall has never been recognized.

Charlton is Millwall's 'difficult brother'. The results of the two teams have been improving all the way, even pressing on the heads of Manchester United and Arsenal, but Millwall and Charlton are just small clubs. A period of good results is difficult to last for a whole season.

This is not a conclusion, but a historical law.

When the league entered the intensive period around Christmas, Charlton 'respected history' fell behind. Their points were quickly overtaken by Manchester United and Arsenal, and then there was only one Millwall left.

Millwall has better results than Charlton, and is more 'tenacious'. No media dares to say directly that Millwall will fall behind quickly. The intensive Christmas schedule is almost over, and Millwall still maintains excellent results.

In the judgment of some people, the game against Chelsea will become a watershed in Millwall's performance.

This game is just at the end of the Christmas game, and it is also the No.20 round of the league. If Millwall loses the game, they will have a nine-point gap with Chelsea, and there is basically little hope of catching up in the follow-up , It will also allow Manchester United to catch up with three points, and the remaining two points gap is only one game.

This will be a watershed game!
What no one expected was that Millwall actually won the game. At this time, many media really admitted that Millwall is a team capable of competing for the championship.

Not only the media sees it that way, everyone sees it that way.

When the game ended, Millwall fans were talking about the possibility of the team competing for the league title, which was unthinkable before--
"We both won Chelsea! Maybe we have a chance to win the title too!"

"The Premier League champion...it's hard!"

"What are you afraid of! If we beat them in the next game, our points will be the same! As long as we perform well in the future, we will definitely have a chance!"

"Chelsea can't win all season, can they?"

"It depends on how far Zhang Yang can lead the team, but I believe in Zhang Yang. Remember this time last season? We were only in the middle of the English Championship, but we won the English Championship at the end of the season!"

"Whether I can win the championship or not, I am very satisfied with the team's results!"

"..."

The Millwall players are also discussing. Zhang Yang has never set a goal for the season, but in terms of the team's situation, there is hope for the championship. Defeating Chelsea head-on has greatly increased the confidence of the whole team. Looking forward to the championship.

"Last season we were in the middle of the middle and won the championship at the end of the season. Now we are second in the league. Why can't we win the championship?"

----

After the game, Zhang Yang greeted the off-field players and gave everyone a compliment, "Good job!"

"great!"

"You are the hero who won!"

"I believe that after this event, everyone will remember you!"

The last sentence is for Vardy. Vardy scored two goals personally and was a major contributor to the team's victory. He only played 45 minutes and was considered the 'best player'. His performance overwhelmed everyone on the field. .

In fact, during the game, many fans took the initiative to search for Vardy's information--
"Who is this young player?"

"Valdy? Why haven't I heard of it before! He was able to score two goals!"

"Played in the eighth league last season? It's so interesting! He must be a genius! Even if he is not well-known now, he will be a big star in the future!"

"Vardy is fantastic!"

"I'll be his fan from now on!"

"..."

The attention of the fans is the focus.

Many media are also preparing to report an 'Valdy's exclusive interview content'. Many reporters have already sharpened their knives in the mixed zone, waiting for Vardy to conduct a slaughter-to-kill interview.

Zhang Yang is very satisfied with Vardy's performance, and he will not be stingy to let him have some fame. He also offered, "Accepting more interviews will be very useful to you. But don't believe what the media says, you should keep working hard!"

Zhang Yang then shook hands with Mourinho.

This is a formal formal handshake. When it comes to Zhang Yang and Mourinho, it really becomes a 'formal'. Standing under the lens of the camera, the two just extended their hands symbolically, without even touching their fingers. , they each turned and walked away.

Mourinho went to the press conference.

Zhang Yang wanted to go back to the locker room to celebrate the victory with the players.

The two deliberately staggered.

If they appear at the press conference at the same time, no matter what the situation is, they will become the target of media hype, which will not benefit both parties, and it is necessary to stagger the interviews.

When facing media reporters, Mourinho was not in a good mood because Chelsea lost the game.

Mourinho knows the reasons for the loss: one is that Millwall did perform well, and the other is that during the game, the Chelsea team's mentality was unstable and they were stunned by consecutive goals, and the follow-up performance was really poor.

However, Mourinho has always been a person who 'doesn't admit defeat'. Even if he knew the reason for the loss, he still had to say a few words, "I'm very disappointed, because most of the time in the game, only one team was serious. kick, the other team is just trying not to concede a goal."

"I admit that they played good football for more than ten minutes, and they also relied on these ten minutes of good football to win, but the game time is relatively much."

"I heard that the tickets for this game were sold for more than [-] pounds? If I were a Millwall fan and spent [-] pounds to support the team, but only watched ten minutes of the game, I would be very upset. satisfy……"

Mourinho's words made the reporters couldn't help complaining.

Will Millwall fans be disappointed?
Looking at the scene of their reluctance to leave the field after the game, you can see how happy they are.

Mourinho is more aware that Chelsea lost the game, and the protagonist will only be Millwall. No matter what he says, he will be very passive. He did not leave time for the reporter to ask questions freely. After expressing his disappointment with the game, he said ' Busy going back to the club' as an excuse, left the press conference scene.

Before leaving, Mourinho did not forget to trouble Millwall, "They scored three goals, one by Braniff and two by Vardy, but I think the performance is the best. Good one is Darren Bent, our guys have to play defense or he's going to be a bigger problem."

"It's a pity that he is in Millwall. If he were in Chelsea, he would partner with Didier and become the most efficient striker combination in the world..."

After the game, Mourinho publicly expressed his appreciation for a player, which is still very rare.

Chelsea's approach is often to contact players in private, or make a secret offer to a club. Perhaps it is also because Chelsea is too high-profile, disrupting the European transfer market, and making many people hate their approach, so they are so secretive.

This is their usual transfer method.

It is the first time that Mourinho has publicly poached corners, and some media reporters are also elated. Compared with Millwall, who is "rising as a dark horse", Chelsea is undoubtedly quite attractive. This is especially true for young players, the high salary alone is enough to be tempting.

The media already knew what to report next besides the game.

When Zhang Yang came to the press conference, he knew what was going on. When he heard the reporters'reporting', he just smiled disdainfully. Darren isn't great, he's pretty good, but he's not good at using people. So what if some good players go to Chelsea? There are enough stars in the Chelsea team and they still lose games."

"Of course, I believe he is really optimistic about Darren." Zhang Yang took a breath, as if to 'help confirm the news'. When the reporters in the audience were wondering, he laughed, "He is also optimistic about David. Before the game, he Having said that, I believe he is optimistic about all the good players, he hopes to bring all the good players to Chelsea, regardless of whether they perform or not, at least they will not be Chelsea's opponents in the future, and then he can lead Chelsea and easily get Champion."

"I admire him a lot, that's a really good idea. Millwall can't do it, we are just a small club, and we can't compare with Chelsea, who have plenty of money..."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking in one breath, the reporters in the audience looked at each other in dismay, and then burst into laughter immediately after reacting. They all found it very interesting: Mourinho wants to buy all the outstanding players?Then Chelsea can easily win the championship?

This level of irony has reached a certain level!

----

On the media news that day, there were reports of Millwall vs. Chelsea everywhere.

There is so much to cover about the game.

The head coaches of the two teams, Zhang Yang and Mourinho's verbal battle, are attractive enough.

Millwall's miraculous performance in more than ten minutes has become a topic that fans talk about. Zhang Yang's "magic pen" substitution, Braniff and Vardy jointly contributed three goals, is the most talked about content, and there are reports issued, "That is a classic conductor that should be written into textbooks!"

Players who performed well in the game have also been praised by many reports.

Vardy is certainly one.

Breaking Chelsea's goal twice is enough to explain a lot of problems. For the first time, Vardy was dubbed the "name of genius". After the game, many reporters interviewed him. Almost every game report will talk about Vardy's name. .

"The rookie who played in the eighth league last season is rising at an alarming rate. He has already contributed four goals for Millwall. You know, he has just started playing for Millwall!"

Then there's Darren Bent.

Darren Bent didn't score, but he was the only one at Millwall during the game, facing Chelsea's tough backline. Most of the time, he faced at least one defender, either Carvalho , or Terry, and occasionally face the pincer attack of the two.

Under such a tough defense, Darren Bent still has a dazzling performance.

Until the end of the game, Darren Bent did not score a goal, but the appearance of three goals was also directly related to the fact that he attracted most of the defensive attention. Just listen to Mourinho's evaluation of his performance.

And then, Jody Morris and Braniff.

Morris has received unanimous praise for his defensive and offensive performances, and he is considered Millwall's 'most central player'.

Braniff didn't show much, but one goal was enough to show the problem.

Then there were many media who praised Millwall's defense. The defensive players had few opportunities to perform. Most of them were doing blue-collar jobs, but Millwall defended the whole game and only allowed Chelsea to score one goal. Enough to prove the excellent defensive results.

For Chelsea, most of it was criticism.

For example, the scores after the game, Chelsea had two players who got the lowest score, one was midfielder Essien, and the other was full-back Ferreira.

Essien was easily breached in the game, his defensive performance was quite poor, and he was a transparent person on the offensive end.

So does Ferreira.

In the whole game, Ferreira had only one steal and nothing else. No matter he faced Konchesky in the first half or Braniff in the second half, he was at an absolute disadvantage.

Such a poor performance!
Various media reports also kept talking about Zhang Yang's satire on Mourinho after the game, so a sentence gradually became popular--
"Mourinho is optimistic about XX (player)!"

This sentence first appeared on Weibo, and some media platforms and football commentator accounts kept reposting "Zhang Yang's sarcastic words to Mourinho".

Afterwards some fans started to leave messages.

What many fans like to talk about is, 'Mourinho is optimistic about Bent', 'Mourinho is optimistic about Livermore', and later extended to 'Mourinho is optimistic about Gerrard', 'Mourinho is optimistic about Ronaldinho'...wait.

A series of optimism also made fans feel interesting. They left messages under the microblogs of various stars, "Rooney, Mourinho is optimistic about you!"

"C-Ronaldo, Mourinho is optimistic about you!"

"Henry, Mourinho is optimistic about you!"

"Fowler, Mourinho likes you!"

"..."

There are almost all similar messages appearing on the microblogs of well-known football stars.

"Mourinho is optimistic about so-and-so (player)" has quickly become an Internet buzzword. "Don't take it too seriously because Mourinho likes all the good players."

When Zhang Yang discovered that this sentence had become a buzzword on the Internet and was also on the major search lists, he couldn't help but chuckled in his heart, and at the same time lamented for Mourinho, "Maybe he should thank me, Because he's more famous."

Ahem...that's it!
Zhang Yang picked up the invitation card in his hand and found it very interesting to read the introduction--
"Invitation to New Year's Reception. We sincerely invite Millwall Club, head coach Mr. Zhang Yang, to attend the 2006 New Year's Private Reception on January [-]th.

Location: Cruise-Durant Estate.

Consulting telephone: VVV-XXX-RRRR.
