Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 303 This is a trap!
Zhang Yang's so-called "easy game" is to let the whole team concentrate on defense, frontal advancement and counterattack, and all of them are handed over to the strikers. It is best to score goals, and it doesn't matter if you can't. The goal of the game against Manchester United is, Try to keep the goal.

This greatly reduces the pressure on the team.

Aiming at a draw often has a high probability of failure, but it is very difficult to pursue victory at Old Trafford. Even if you put in all your efforts, you are likely to lose to Manchester United, or even a big defeat to Manchester United. It's meaningless, and it will hurt the team's confidence. On the contrary, "only work hard to defend" will make the game easier. Even if the game is lost, the players can understand it as "we don't pay attention to the game", which is equivalent to reducing the impact .

This is also a helpless move.

Manchester United, especially Manchester United at the end of the season, is too difficult to play.

The current Manchester United is the strongest among the [-] teams in the Premier League. They often perform extremely well at the end of the season. Perhaps it is also because other teams have been dragged down by long-term games, and their performance has been greatly affected, but In any case, with the strength of Millwall's lineup, it really depends on luck to beat Manchester United in the away game.

Millwall has seven points more than Chelsea, and they can afford to lose a game. By staggering the match against Manchester United, they can have enough time to prepare for the game. The match against Chelsea is much more important than the match against Manchester United.

There are only ten days between the two games.

It is impossible for Millwall to play away games against two top teams in a row. If they try their best to play against Manchester United, they will have to give up the game against Chelsea.

Millwall and Chelsea are direct competitors, and it is more important to confront Chelsea head-on than Manchester United.

So Zhang Yang made a decision.

The day before the game, Zhang Yang made his decision, and it was unanimously approved by the coaching staff. Even Frederick supported him, "I have been worrying about the next schedule, first the away game against Manchester United, and then Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, the game is too dense, we can't prepare at all. It is good to give up this game."

"No, we are not giving up." Zhang Yang said, "We just focus on defense and don't put too much pressure on the team, but it is impossible for Manchester United to win easily, and we still need to face pressure."

----

While the coaching staff led the team to prepare for the game, Brand Wilkinson was preparing for the 'inauguration ceremony'.

The official website of the Millwall club has not announced the news of the 'new boss', and the outside media are also speculating, there is no confirmed news at all. Some reporters have already taken photos of Wilkinson entering and leaving the club, because it is not Prince Abdullah Personally, no one knows what specific role Wilkinson is.

Wilkinson represents Prince Abdullah, but after all, he is only a 'vice chairman', not a decisive figure. The 'inauguration ceremony' is an official announcement, and then a press conference will be held to formally communicate with the media, The fans talked about Prince Abdullah and the role he will play in the club management in the future.

In addition, it will also talk about exciting news, such as how much money will be invested in the transfer market next summer, and how much money will be invested in the club's youth training and stadium construction.

Wilkinson also hopes to let everyone know that he will become the decision maker of the Millwall club through the press conference, and establish a positive image, so that more media and fans will support him, so he found Zhang Yang in advance, hoping that Zhang Yang can Verbally, he expressed his support for his role as vice chairman. In addition, the selected time for public news is also set after the end of the Millwall and Manchester United games.

When Millwall defeated Manchester United in an away game, and the fans rejoiced, would it be easier for him to be recognized by the fans?
Wilkinson thought so.

As for whether Millwall can beat Manchester United, Wilkinson believes that Millwall can win.Millwall's performance is very good. The last time they beat Manchester United at home, they became the top of the league this time. The chances of beating Manchester United are also very high, right?

Wilkinson has experience in running a Saudi club. He is not a pure businessman. He also knows that the game has great uncertainty. At the same time, he is also prepared for Millwall to lose. He already has a plan——
If Millwall loses the game, when the club announces the news, he can stand up and support Zhang Yang in turn, and use the fans' support for Zhang Yang to gain more support for himself.

Although the latter plan is worse than winning Manchester United, it is always necessary to be prepared.

----

On March [-], Manchester's Old Trafford stadium was overcrowded.

Millwall and Manchester United are both Premier League clubs, but there is a huge gap between the two sides at each level. Millwall's home stadium, the Neil Stadium, can only accommodate [-] fans at most.

The spectator stand of Old Trafford Stadium has [-] seats, plus the open space in the back row, it can accommodate up to [-] fans, which is more than three times the capacity of Neal Stadium.

So many fans came to watch the game, which also proves the importance of the game.

United take the game very seriously.

Manchester United coach Ferguson expressed his confidence in this game before the game. He believes that under normal circumstances, Manchester United will definitely win.

Manchester United have made a lot of preparations. They even spent five days preparing for the game. It is a great honor for Millwall to receive such treatment, because the top teams in Europe are treated equally by Manchester United. Even for Arsenal, Chelsea and other teams, it is difficult for Manchester United to spend five days dedicated to targeted preparations. This shows how much coach Ferguson attaches importance to the game.

Ferguson's requirement for the game is: must win.

The last time the two teams met, they were not very friendly before and after the game. Ferguson would gnash his teeth when talking about Zhang Yang. He felt it was a shame, especially when Zhang Yang repeatedly mentioned the word 'age' and said that he was 'outdated'. Both of them reached the apex of Ferguson's heart, and the Scottish old man made up his mind to prove something with a victory.

The game can only have one result - Manchester United win!

Manchester United's coaching staff repeatedly studied Millwall's game, repeatedly studied Millwall's style of play and players in various positions, and finally made targeted tactical deployments. Coupled with the team's targeted preparations, Ferguson thought the game would be better. There can be no surprises, because Manchester United has an absolute lineup advantage.

This is what Ferguson and Manchester United are preparing for.

Ferguson was confident, and so was the United team, but when the game actually started, they felt a little out of sorts because Millwall wasn't playing 'normal'.

Manchester United took the lead and launched an offensive around the Millwall half.

In the first 2 minutes, Millwall was defending.

Millwall then took control of the ball, but they only made a small advance almost symbolically, and the formation continued to retreat and defend the goal.

This went on for 10 minutes.

Manchester United was worried about Millwall's counterattack, and the formation has never really unfolded, but they can't wait at all after waiting. They can only keep turning their feet in the midfield, and occasionally pass the ball forward when they have the opportunity.

Time passed slowly.

At the beginning, Manchester United felt that the opponent was not familiar with Old Trafford, so they naturally had to play conservatively during the trial stage.After 10 minutes of the game, the situation was still the same as the opening game. Millwall was slow, and seemed not at all eager to attack, but the defense was impeccable, and they felt that something was wrong.

"Millwall doesn't want to attack, does he?"

"Maybe they just want to defend the goal! They've been defending for so long!"

"Be careful, the coach has said, the opponent's young coach is hard to deal with!"

"Yes! Be careful!"

"Don't remember the last game? We were attacked!"

"right……"

During the game, the Manchester United players also discussed countermeasures. They came to the conclusion that Millwall was 'baiting' them to attack.

"Don't give them a chance!"

Manchester United was terrified of being attacked by Millwall. With the mentality of preventing accidents, they decided to continue to spend with Millwall.

So the game scene can be imagined.

Millwall didn't specify an offensive strategy at all. Before the game, the coaching staff always asked for defense, and they were very strict with each position. Although there was no clear strategy of "holding one point", each player knew it well, and they were a little bit different. While reconciled, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

If they want to beat Manchester United in an away game, they will be under the greatest pressure. The goal is to keep the goal, so it will be much easier.

Millwall has been defending from the start, it's not a planned 'conspiracy', that's how it was prepared before the game.

Manchester United was a little worried about being counterattacked, and they did not press for a long time.

The two sides continued to fight in the midfield.

The situation of the game surprised Zhang Yang. He expected Manchester United to press hard and Millwall to defend hard. It would be best if he could hold the points.

But what's the situation now?Manchester United don't seem to want to attack?
Ferguson was also a little surprised. He glanced at the Millwall coaching bench and found that Zhang Yang was sitting there leisurely just like the previous game. He had the same idea as the Manchester United players: the opponent must hope that Manchester United will expand the lineup, so that Look for opportunities to launch fast breaks!
Ferguson felt that the actions of the players on the field were correct. Now that the opponent has set up a complete set, they should continue to drag on to the game, just not to go up to see what the opponent can do.

The game has been delayed.

Many fans in the auditorium felt drowsy, and all game commentators began to express their dissatisfaction tactfully——
"Both sides seem to have no intention of opening up. This game has been like this from the beginning. Maybe both sides are thinking about defense and don't want to give each other a chance. Or maybe both teams can accept a draw?"

"We can see that the game is really boring, the two teams are not fighting fiercely, so far, the two sides combined have only had three shots, two of which belonged to Manchester United, and one belonged to Millwall, but none of them threatened the ball. ..."

"Most half of the first half has passed, and the game seems to have just begun..."

"We don't know why this game will become the focus of this round of the Premier League, but if it continues like this, all fans will be dissatisfied!"

"Let's take a look at... the spectator stands at Old Trafford. Many fans have lost their attention on the field!"

"This may be the most boring game ever!"

"..."

When each commentator began to express dissatisfaction, Manchester United finally signaled that something was wrong.

The opponent really didn't intend to attack!

Of course, it is impossible for one side of a football game not to attack, but every time Millwall advances, no more than four players cross the center line. Except for one forward, there are only two full-backs and one central midfielder. In the frontcourt, other players hardly cross the center line.

This must be wrong!
Maybe Millwall just wants to find a chance to fight back, but time must not continue to run out. Millwall can persist, because they are playing away, and Manchester United cannot persist. Under the watchful eyes of nearly 7 Manchester United fans , This kind of game lasted until the end, and they had no face to face the fans at all.

Manchester United launched an offensive step by step.

Even now, their offense is still tentative. They send one more person in one wave, and one more person in the next wave, to test and see Millwall's reaction.

After four or 10 minutes of the game, Manchester United finally confirmed that Millwall had no intention of launching an offensive at all, so they let go of their formation decisively and pressed heavily.

Time was running out in the first half.

Manchester United used the last few minutes to play a pretty good offensive, but there was not enough time for them to break through the goal.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0-0.Manchester United failed to take advantage of the final explosion to rewrite the score, and the time was delayed by half, which was a surprise.

Zhang Yang let out a long breath, and at the end of halftime, there was still a smile on his face. He looked at Ferguson, and the meaning in his eyes seemed to be, "I didn't expect that! You didn't score!"'

Ferguson was also looking over, and the old Scottish man snorted coldly, as if expressing disdain and venting his dissatisfaction.

The game was beyond their expectations.

Zhang Yang gave up half of the game, and the goal was to keep the goal, just to reduce the pressure on the team. In addition, Simpson, Smicer and Braniff all took a round of rest, and they can also maintain the state of the next game .

But Manchester United didn't seem to be in a hurry to score goals, or they were a little afraid of Millwall. It would be good to be able to delay halftime. It is much easier to defend only halftime than to defend the whole game.

Ferguson was completely dissatisfied.

Manchester United made careful preparations for the game, but the opponent did not play their cards according to common sense, which meant that most of the time was wasted.

what is the reason?
Walking in the aisle of the stadium, Ferguson felt a little depressed in his heart as he pursued the reason why he didn't seriously attack in the first half, because the reason is easy to think of: he, the coaching staff and the entire Manchester United paid too much attention to Millwall's opponent, and they were clever and counterproductive. I fell into a trap by being clever and mistaken.

Correct!
Ferguson believes that this is the trap set by the damn Chinese!
