Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 293 Difficult January

That night, Zhang Yang thought about a lot of things, and his mind was a little confused. It is normal for a club to be acquired. Many clubs in the English League have been acquired. Now it has just begun, and there will be more in the future. , will choose to enter the English football market.

But no matter how normal or understandable the situation was, this news was a bit too sudden and shocking.

Millwall?

How could Millwall be valued?There is absolutely no memory of this scene, and Millwall has never been named.

This may have something to do with Millwall's geographical location.

Leaving aside the historical achievements of Millwall, it is said that the geographical location is located in the Greater London area, and it needs to compete with many outstanding clubs: Chelsea, Fulham, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Charlton, etc. , There are too many teams in the London area to invest in, and Millwall can't make waves among them.

Geographical competition factors also lead to the limited number of Millwall fans, and historical performance factors lead to the fact that there are very few fans supporting Millwall outside the London area.

Fans are the foundation of a club's development.

If the number of Millwall fans cannot develop, it will be difficult for the club to develop. If foreign capital wants to settle in English football, it will be difficult to choose a club that has little influence and no development.

Then maybe it has something to do with the results of the past two seasons!
Zhang Yang was a little arrogant.

Is this the butterfly effect of leading the team to achieve good results?This effect is really too big.

Millwall has achieved amazing results for two consecutive seasons. Last season, it was the champion of the English Championship. So far this season, it has ranked second in the Premier League and has attracted a lot of attention from the world.

This may be the fundamental reason why the club has attracted the attention of foreign capital.

It is actually not surprising that foreign investors choose Millwall Club. In terms of acquisitions, it is much easier to acquire Millwall than other clubs, because Millwall is small in scale and has not been listed. It only needs to buy a few major shareholders. Shares, easily the largest shareholder.

Maybe this is good news too?

As Gregory said at the end, without foreign investment, Millwall can only be a small club, and it is almost impossible to rise in a short time.Even if they lead the team to win the league championship and compete for the Champions League next season, Millwall is still only a small club. With the support of performance, the club's income will definitely increase, but the gap between Millwall and the big clubs is not some income, but Including club operations, influence, stadiums, and even the youth training system, a few champions can't solve the problem at all. Even after a few seasons, it is still difficult for Millwall to come up with funds to support the purchase of the desired stars.

This is the reality of small clubs.

In addition, Millwall is a stock club. If a large amount of income is generated, other directors will definitely participate in dividends. At that time, will the directors be willing to take out all the income and invest it in the club?
Very difficult!
Or, almost impossible.

This is also reality.

"Maybe next season, there will be a large transfer fee?" Zhang Yang kept thinking about this matter, and the next morning, he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about it. He didn't know what to do, and changed his job to a new boss. Will it be affected?

If you can't continue coaching, do you want to change a team?

When he walked into the training ground of the first team and looked at the hardworking players one by one, Zhang Yang knew that he was thinking too much.

Anyway, he's just a head coach!
As a head coach, changes in the top management of the club have nothing to do with him. What he needs to do is to lead the team to achieve good results.

That's his job, and the grades will be his resume.

After reaching a certain level, such as leading the team to win the championship, he will enjoy the honor brought by his achievements just like the players!
Zhang Yang wants to get good grades more than anyone else, because grades are not only related to honor, but also related to his future ability--the head coach module loaded by the system, but relying on achievements to activate new abilities, only leading the team to get good grades Achievements, he can have the ability to worry.

This is also Zhang Yang's biggest motivation.

No matter what happens in the club, his goal will not change. Results are motivation, and the championship is very attractive. He needs results to establish his honor and make his coaching career more successful!
Now he is on the road to success.

----

The change in the ownership of the Millwall club has not yet caused any waves. Even the media has not received the news, and the players in the team will not know.

Zhang Yang knew the importance of keeping secrets.

Although high-level changes have little to do with the team, there will definitely be some impact. Many people, including himself, will be responsible for possible changes, which may affect the mentality of the game.

Zhang Yang didn't think too much about it, so he led the team forward.

On January 24, Millwall played against Fulham at home. The last time the two teams played against each other was in mid-September. The result of the game was [-]-[-]. Millwall defeated Fulham away.

It was not easy to win that fight.

Fulham's defense is very solid, and the counterattack at home is also good, while Millwall is a 'fledged' and still a little uncomfortable with the Premier League confrontation.

Not so now.

The situation of the game has been reversed. Millwall has a lot of experience, and it is also a game at home. Although Braniff, Smicer and others have not fully recovered, only half of the main players have been sent, but Fuller Tom is still no match.

No. In 203 minutes, Morris was brought down by the opposing player and created a set-piece opportunity. David Livermore shot 25 meters away to help Millwall break through the Fulham gate.

No. 607 minutes of the game, Darren Bent received a pass, broke through the opponent's defender, created a single chance, and scored the ball directly at the goalkeeper.

This is the second goal.

Millwall also won the match [-]-[-].

After the game against Fulham, Millwall continued to devote himself to training, and two days later ushered in a new round of the FA Cup against Colchester United in the fourth tier.

Many media directly lamented the good luck of 'Millwall'. It is not easy to meet a fourth-tier league team in the top 32. Colchester United is also the only fourth-tier league team.

Zhang Yang hopes to meet a good opponent. If he wants to come, it is best to meet Liverpool, Tottenham and other teams. The team's cold wave has not passed yet, and Braniff is also injured. Losing the game is the end of the FA Cup.

Unfortunately, the opponent is Colchester United.

It's sad.

Colchester United is even more sad. It is difficult for the lower leagues to participate in the FA Cup to win any good results. But if they can continue to persist in the second half, they can create huge benefits for the club when they meet top clubs. For the team, the income from one FA Cup is nothing, but hundreds of thousands of pounds is definitely a big deal for a fourth-tier league team, enough to buy half of their team.

It is conceivable how much Colchester United wanted to meet the giants, but they only met Millwall.

In terms of season results, Millwall is no worse than the giants, but in terms of influence and economic benefits, Millwall is only a small club and cannot be compared with clubs such as Manchester United and Arsenal.

This is one of them.

The second point that Colchester United does not want to meet Millwall is that Millwall's results are too good, they have no hope of qualifying, especially the bad luck, the game is still played at the Neil Stadium, Every player feels that this is the end point, and it is impossible for them to move forward.

The Colchester United team played with this mentality. It is conceivable what performance they have. Zhang Yang has tried his best to send out a substitute lineup. Curtis Weston, Peter Swilley, Barry Cogan, Rudy -Clark, a group of young and old substitute players all appeared on the field, but the strength gap between the two sides is still very obvious. For a long time, Colchester Lenovo had a very difficult pass. In the end, Millwall defeated 4-0 at home. Colchester United, entered the [-]th round of the FA Cup.

When Zhang Yang shook hands with the opponent's coach, they both said with wry smiles, "I really don't want to win. I'm planning to give up the FA Cup..."

The head coach of Colchester United is Delan. He is a 40-year-old short, balding middle-aged man. He is a bit similar in size to Frederick, but his expression is much kinder. He smiles more bitterly than Zhang Yang, " I can understand that. But we're not so lucky."

"Yeah, we're not lucky."

"No idea!"

"It's really distressing..."

Zhang Yang and Delan poured bitter water on each other and walked towards the stadium passage.

----

The No.20 round of the Premier League will be held a week later, with Millwall playing against Sunderland at home.

This is a game without suspense.

Before the game, no one thought there was suspense. Sunderland's results were too poor. So far, Sunderland has only won two games and drawn three games. The league points are only a poor nine points.

23 rounds, nine points!
West Bromwich Already have [-] points, which is second to last in the league, more than double the points of Sunderland.

Many British media began to gloat and said, "Sunderland is about to set a record for the lowest points in the Premier League!"

There are three newly promoted teams this season: Millwall, Wigan Athletic and Sunderland.

According to the performance of the three teams last season, Sunderland is actually the best one. They are at the top of the Championship most of the time, followed by Wigan Athletic and has always been third in the league. Millwall Made a miracle, but only played good football for half a season.

When it comes to the Premier League fixture list, the ranking order is reversed.

Millwall has the best performance and is currently ranked second in the league. Because Chelsea drew with Charlton in the last round, Millwall caught up with two points, only one point behind the league leader.

Wigan Athletic is still second.

Wigan Athletic's performance is quite good, ranking eighth in the league so far, there is no pressure to relegation at all, and there is still a chance to win a place in the European competition if you work hard.

Only Sunderland... so miserable!

Sunderland is almost certain to be relegated early. Although they haven't given up yet, it is certain that the whole team has no fighting spirit. The continuous failure makes them have no confidence to play at all.

This round is the same.

Relying on home advantage, Millwall scored two goals in a row in the first half. Zhang Yang simply replaced Darren Bent, who scored twice.

Then Josh Simpson and Jody Morris showed off.

In the 65th and 72nd minutes of the game, the two scored two goals hand in hand, rewriting the score to [-]-[-]. After that, Morris lobbed a shot from the outside and broke through Sunderland again.

Five to zero!
Many media began to sympathize with Sunderland.

Last season, Sunderland and Millwall were both English Championship teams. Most of the time, Sunderland was the league champion. In the first half of the schedule, they played against Millwall and won all of them. But in the league In the last round, they were overtaken by Millwall and lost the league title.

The grudge between the two teams is here.

This season, Sunderland's idea of ​​"revenge" is tantamount to a joke. Millwall and Sunderland played against each other in two rounds, scoring a total of twelve goals, and almost regarded Sunderland's goal as their own backyard.

Such an easy match made Zhang Yang feel much better.

Recently, the players in the team have been suffering from colds and injuries, and the club's top management has also undergone changes. The start of the new year is not a good one. All kinds of unsatisfactory things happened together, and he also felt a lot of pressure.

The game finally went well.

But just when Zhang Yang thought this way, something happened suddenly on the field. Jody Morris was knocked down by defender Stubbs while dribbling the ball. It was just a normal body collision, and Morris Did not stand up again.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Many fans in the auditorium exclaimed, and many people were also worried about Morris.

In the end, Morris was carried off the field, and the specific injury needs further arrest.

Morris was injured for the second time this season.

The last time Morris was injured, he rested for more than a month before returning to the court. At that time, the team was affected a lot. Fortunately, Smicer performed well and made it through that time.

Injured again?
After the game, Morris was sent to the hospital for further detailed examination. Zhang Yang couldn't help but said angrily, "I noticed that during the game, Jody was knocked down several times, and the opponents were always like barbaric primitives. Constantly bring him down to stop the offense. Any player who receives this special treatment will be easily injured. We should introduce relevant policies to limit similar things from happening to protect outstanding players and safety on the field!"

Zhang Yang's words were nothing at all, and seemed to be just a suggestion, but the 'savage primitive' was somewhat offensive.

Millwall Club and Zhang Yang received a total of 1 pounds of fines for this.

However, compared to Morris' injury, this fine is nothing to mention. After the press conference, Zhang Yang didn't even go back to the locker room, so he went directly to the hospital, wanting to know Morris' injury as soon as possible.
