Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 305 Not a Strong Team
Except for Zhang Yang, no one knew about Manchester United's goal, so it was gone. They just lamented Manchester United's bad luck, or from another perspective, Millwall's defense did a good job and did not allow Manchester United to break through the goal.

However, there are still opportunities for Manchester United. They can find opportunities occasionally, but they have not been able to seize two or three opportunities.

Ferguson couldn't help frowning.

This is actually normal.

In any game, there will be some opportunities. Whether the players can seize the opportunities is full of uncertainty, but no goals are real. Halfway through the second half, Manchester United still has no goals. It is difficult to win.

Zhang Yang was not surprised at all. He knew that he would not score a goal, so he simply sat back on the coach's bench, chewing gum with his toes up, and played with a new deck of cards in his hand. His leisurely appearance attracted a lot of attention. A commentator couldn't help but sigh, "This young Chinese seems to be here for sightseeing. If the numbers on the scoreboard hadn't been rewritten, we would have thought Millwall was leading!"

Zhang Yang didn't care.

A tie in this game is a victory, as long as Manchester United does not score a goal, the goal will be achieved.

No matter from which point of view, the draw is acceptable. First of all, the opponent is Manchester United, and the venue of the game is Old Trafford. It is too difficult to beat Manchester United in this stadium. Still a goal lost to Manchester United is proof.

Can Millwall do it?

The team may be able to fight for it with all their efforts, but with such a big sacrifice, it is not worth the gain to only fight for a little chance. It is precisely because of this mentality that he is much more leisurely than Ferguson.

Manchester United cannot accept a draw.

In fact, it's not league points, but a matter of face. The gap between Manchester United and Chelsea and Millwall is too big. Up to now, they still have a gap of [-] points with Chelsea and [-] points with Millwall. They want to catch up It is a fantasy.

The key is... face!
Manchester United is the 'overlord' of the Premier League. It's okay to be defeated away by a small club that has suddenly risen, but they still can't win at home?
Manchester United can't accept it!
Manchester United also felt that they had to win to help the team regain their face and let 'Ferguson vs. Zhang Yang' get back the disadvantage. Otherwise, Ferguson would be very unhappy. Thinking about the war of words between the two in the future, Ferguson will have a good result in terms of results. Congenital passivity.

Ferguson is unhappy, which is tantamount to a disaster for Manchester United.

The current Manchester United players on the field are all fighting for the head coach's face. Of course, some players are not reconciled. They are dignified Manchester United, and it is difficult for them to beat a dark horse of the season, which is also difficult for them to accept.

But how can it be so easy to break through Millwall's goal?

In the face of Millwall's intensive defense, C-Ronaldo's dazzling and calm skills have completely become a display. From the second half until now, he has only one shot, which is a wave shot from the outside of the penalty area; the same is true for Van Nistelrooy, he is in the penalty area. There is dominance here, but there is nothing they can do if they can’t even catch the ball; Manchester United’s midfielders have the highest rate of possession. They keep passing and catching the ball to find opportunities ahead, but opportunities are not easy to find. Continue to pass on, continue to look for opportunities.

Time is also slowly passing by.

In the 803rd minute of the game, Rooney made a breakthrough in the middle, and Darren Ward had no choice but to foul to stop it. Manchester United got a chance to set the ball in a good position.

The place of the foul was on the left side, and the player who took the penalty was Ryan Giggs, who is known as the "King of the Left". .

Zhang Yang called it a fluke when he saw the ball.

In the judgment of 'prediction', he saw that the football hit the crossbar, so he did nothing, just waited for the players on the field to arrange themselves, lest there would be some deviation, and the dangerous ball would become a goal.

Fortunately, the deviation did not occur, and the game was still going on according to the 'predicted' situation.

This is also Manchester United's last good chance.

Millwall did not find a chance in the whole game. They waited until the last minute of stoppage time. The goal was still being bombarded by Manchester United, but the set goal had been achieved. They successfully defended for 1 minutes, delaying the score to 10. 0.

The game ended with no goals.

"In this focus battle, neither side scored a goal. It can be seen that Manchester United is stronger at home, and Millwall is defending most of the time. The game seems to be doomed from the first minute. Some fans will be disappointed. But this is a football game, no one can guarantee that it will always be wonderful." Many commentators made regretful voices, "Millwall defended the whole game, which proved its defensive ability in the backcourt. Manchester United attacked the whole game, but Victory is not behind them."

"The game is over, the result of a tie may not be acceptable to Manchester United, they were not able to beat Millwall at Old Trafford."

"Throughout the entire game, Millwall has been passively defending. This may be their established style of play. The strength gap between the two sides is obvious. After watching this game, we can't imagine that Millwall will be ranked No. [-] in the league. No. [-] team, but they rely on this tenacity, this spirit of striving for every point, to get more points than other teams..."

"There is no winner, we don't know who to congratulate, but from the demeanor of the two managers, Millwall should be satisfied with the result..."

The camera points to the front of the player tunnel.

Zhang Yang and Ferguson stood facing each other. The Scottish old man had a gloomy face, with a wrinkled face, as if he was about to explode at any time; Zhang Yang had a smile on his face, showing sunshine and kindness on his young face.

In the end, the two shook hands.

Ferguson didn't seem to want to shake hands, but he still extended his hand to Zhang Yang, and raised his right hand to shake it.

The two shook hands for five seconds, and they kept looking at each other halfway through, as if communicating with their eyes.

This scene was photographed by the reporters, and they thought to themselves, maybe they could use 'the alternation of the old and the new in football' as the title of the photo, or they could use 'the collision of the young and the old' to describe the match.

The hands of the two are separated.

Before leaving, Ferguson couldn't help but sneered, "Young people should have the heart to win. I can't imagine a young man in his 20s who would let the team defend the whole court to fight for a point."

Zhang Yang glanced at Ferguson, first took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped it on the palm of his right hand, and then shook it again, without looking up at Ferguson's expression, he said nonchalantly, "I didn't think there would be any. I thought that an old man who is about to retire is so competitive. Professional football is a competitive place, but sportsmanship is more important. Whether it is winning or losing, the process is more important than the result. Our players enjoy football, The purpose has been achieved.”

Ferguson twitched the corner of his mouth, and could only retreat with a cold 'hum'.

----

Post-match press conference.

Ferguson was interviewed, and his evaluation of the game was, "I am sorry that only one team is playing seriously, and the other team just wants to keep the goal. In the end they succeeded, but this is nothing to be proud of. If all teams play the same game, the audience in the Premier League will be reduced by more than half!"

Ferguson criticized Millwall for being utilitarian.

Zhang Yang was satisfied with the draw, "We did defend the whole game, but most teams should understand that this is Old Trafford, and we are just a small club. Weak players face off against strong teams, otherwise the position of head coach will be meaningless.”

"I am very satisfied with the draw against Manchester United. Some people may say that we played passively, but this is actually Millwall. We are the first in the league, but we are not a strong team."

Zhang Yang gave the definition of Millwall straightforwardly-not a strong team.

This has received a lot of support.

Millwall's performance is quite good, but in terms of lineup strength, the gap with the giants is stark. Various football commentators and football celebrities commented on Millwall, and they also think their lineup strength is very poor, even at the end of the season. Now, there are only a few truly outstanding Millwall lineups.

Players such as Darren Bent and Smicer are the best at Millwall. A comparison shows that Smicer is just a player that Liverpool 'give up'. Unrecognized, has only just had outstanding performances this season, and some young talents, such as Wayne Rooney, have become famous as early as 16 years old.

So you know how bad Millwall's lineup is.

Leading a lineup of this level and being able to achieve first place in the league also proves the ability of the team's head coach, that is, Zhang Yang.

Many media gave Millwall praise.

There was a positive report on Millwall's choice to retreat across the board and defend for nine 10 minutes at Old Trafford.

Of course, there are still 'critics'.

These "critics" media believe that Millwall, as the number one in the league, should show the "number one demeanor", instead of conservatively choosing to stick to the goal at Old Trafford.

On the Internet, there are support and opposition, and fans are arguing about it--
"Millwall is a weak team! Zhang Du has already said it! Look at Millwall's lineup, how can they directly confront the giants?"

"Millwall's results prove that they are a strong team. If a weak team can get the first place in the league, it means that the Premier League has fallen..."

"Millwall played well because of Zhang Yang's high level of coaching!"

"A team that is not strong, no matter how good the head coach is, it is impossible to win the first place in the league!"

"Millwall is definitely not bad, Darren Bent, Braniff, Jody Morris, Smicer is also good, he left Liverpool, but he was the core player of Liverpool. !"

"You are talking about young stars who are just emerging!"

"If these young stars are so good, why can't they make it to the national team?"

"That's Eriksson's problem..."

"..."

Amid the quarrels between the media and fans, Zhang Yang has led the team back to London.

The game is over, and Zhang Yang doesn't care what the media and fans think. On that day, Millwall Club had to participate in a major event, and that was Brand Wilkinson's appointment as the club's vice chairman.

Wilkinson is the spokesperson of Prince Abdullah, and he has the greatest rights when he comes to the club, but the nominal "vice chairman" has not officially taken office, and the announcement is only a process. The role of equity is enough to determine everything, and the replacement of rights is a long-term work, so it becomes very important to announce to the outside world that it is recognized.

The official website of the Millwall Club announced that Brand Wilkinson was appointed as the vice chairman, and the staff who wrote the article also expressed their welcome in words.

The next day, the club held a press conference.

When Zhang Yang led the team to the first place, Millwall also became one of the most watched teams in the Premier League.

The sudden high-level change of such a heavyweight team is enough to attract the attention of the whole of England and even Europe. Even some media in Asia, South America and Africa have reported on this matter.

The media also hope to know how much Prince Abdullah will attach importance to the club after acquiring Millwall, or what is Prince Abdullah's attitude towards Millwall.

This is divided into two situations.

If he is a pure businessman, after taking over the Millwall Club, his first consideration must be to make money, no matter whether he can get the benefits he wants, but Millwall has become a "tool to make money", another situation is like It was Roman Abramovich who bought Chelsea. The Russian didn't need Chelsea to make money. He just wanted to 'play' a club and spend a lot of money on it.

That's the difference.

As the spokesperson of Prince Abdullah, Brand Wilkinson's statement is very important.

In the morning when the press conference was held, more than 200 reporters came. The capacity of the venue in the Millwall Club was limited, and half of them could not enter the venue. If a player or official is unlucky, he will not be able to interview anything.

The Millwall club is 'humane', and all the big media are arranged to enter the venue, and the small and medium media will depend on their luck.

The large number of reporters who came here caused some troubles, but the press conference started on time. After the press officer announced the start, the reporters finally met the protagonist - Brad Wilkinson.

All kinds of electronic equipment shone on Brad Wilkinson, making him the center of the venue. Wilkinson walked to the stage with a smile. Zhang Yang had already been sitting on the stage waiting, and he came 10 minutes early , just to cooperate with Wilkinson and let him get the chance to be watched by the audience.

In this press conference, Wilkinson is the protagonist.
