Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 358 Large-Scale Transfer

Westwell Athletic is just a second division team, beating them is no big deal at all.

The media is more interested in Millwall's preparations, but they didn't see anything during the game. Millwall was in chaos. The only thing that is certain is that their wing ability has been strengthened, whether it is Pires or Quarre Sima, all performed very well.

But that's to be expected.

Pires is the absolute main force of Arsenal, and it was only because of contract disputes that he decided to leave Arsenal and sign for Millwall.

Quaresma is Porto's main winger and was named the "best player in the Portuguese Super League" last season. Such a strong technical winger can naturally improve Millwall's winger ability.

The media's reports on Millwall also revolved around the wing. They believed that Millwall's wing enhanced the team's offensive threat capabilities.

Besides, there is no more.

Many reports have criticized Millwall’s lack of preparation. Seeing that the season is about to start, Millwall’s game is still in chaos. The "Daily Mirror" speculated, "Maybe this is related to the summer signings, praise Brota, Pires, Quaresma, big-name stars and talents joined, this is the first day in the history of Millwall. Zhang Yang is still too young, he can't quickly integrate new players and teams. "

When Zhang Yang saw the report, he just laughed it off.

Millwall's tactical training continued, and Zhang Yang found Zambrotta halfway through. He hoped that Zambrotta could adapt to multiple positions, the most important being the midfielder position.

In the dual-core system of the new tactics, the two cores are positioned side by side, which also makes the formation 4141, or 451, but no matter how you say the lineup, there must be only one midfielder.

David Livermore is still qualified. His shortcoming is his weak tactical awareness.

Zambrotta is not physically stronger than Livermore, nor is he one-on-one defensive and extremely energetic than Livermore, but Zambrotta realizes the overall situation and has rich defensive experience. If Livermore cannot play, Zambrotta Rota is the best substitute.

The back line doesn't have to worry about it.

There are eight defenders in the team's current lineup, and qualified replacements can be found on the left, right, and center, but not everyone can play as a midfielder.

Zambrotta was a little surprised by Zhang Yang's request. When he came to Millwall, he thought he would be the main central defender, and even if he changed positions, he would be a full-back. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang made him adapt to the midfielder.

"I have kicked the midfielder, but very few times." Zambrotta hesitated.

"Don't make it difficult, Gianluca." Zhang Yang smiled, "I didn't want to put you directly in the midfielder position. You have been in the team for so long, you should know David, right? It's the one who is extremely strong... "

"Alien Beast!"

"...?"

"That's what everyone else called him, he was really strong."

"Okay, alien monster. But we can't just have one midfielder, David can't play all games, but he doesn't have a suitable replacement, I hope when he can't play, your position can be premised, competent midfielder s position."

Gianluca breathed a sigh of relief.

He is not afraid that if he refuses, he will lose his position. If the team does not use him in the game, it will definitely be a loss for the team, but if he adjusts his position rashly, he is not sure whether he can perform stably. He is just trying to adapt. , the pressure will be much smaller.

"The defensive midfielder is a very important position." Zhang Yang explained, "Our tactic is to play a dual core, which is an advantage, but at the same time, the pressure on the defensive midfielder will be great. With only one defensive midfielder, the defensive task will be very heavy. At the same time attacking, you can understand that there is no one in the team who can play this position, I can only think of you, Gianluca."

"Thank you."

Zambrotta thanked Zhang Yang for his affirmation, and then nodded and agreed to learn how to play as a midfielder.

After the tactical training, he already knows every position and has to recite a lot of tactical things, and it will take a while to get used to it.

August [-]th is very close to the start of the Premier League.

Fans who pay attention to Millwall have begun to pay attention to Millwall's second warm-up match. From the game, it can be roughly seen that Millwall's final preparations.

The game was held at the Neal Stadium, and Millwall invited Udinese - always a Serie A powerhouse.

The purpose of arranging matches against Italian teams is obvious, which is to familiarize players with the European arena, because to participate in the UEFA Champions League, players must adapt to playing against teams of different styles. Udinese is a good opponent. A strong team, their style of play is very characteristic of Italian football.

This warm-up match has attracted much attention, and more than 2 fans came to watch it.

The audience seats in the stadium are almost full, as if the league has already started, and the revenue from the game tickets alone exceeds 50 pounds.

In fact, it was just a warm-up match.

The contest between Millwall and Udinese is still very attractive. Hundreds of reporters came to interview, including British reporters and Italian reporters.Millwall promised half of the income from ticket sales to Udinese, which also allowed Udinese to increase part of their income, so the game was played at the Neal Stadium.

Although it was just a warm-up match, both sides attached great importance to it.

Udinese have not participated in European competitions for a long time, and their players are very interested in playing against English teams, especially last season's Premier League champions.

Millwall will have to absorb the experience of playing against the Italian team.

Most of the media who came to interview came to observe Millwall, even the Italian media, because Millwall is going to participate in the Champions League. If they can perform well, they will definitely be a strong enemy of the Italian team.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and other teams don't need to know anything at all, but Millwall is a newly rising team, and the Italian media hopes to 'help' Italian teams have a basic understanding of their opponents in advance.

Udinese was called "the first sentinel" by the Italian media. Udinese definitely didn't like this title. They were only invited to play a warm-up match and also to prepare for the new season.

In front of many media reporters, Zhang Yang did not hide it, and directly showed the dual-core tactics, allowing the team to play according to the tactics to see how well they can perform.

Millwall is not afraid of new tactics being exposed at all.

Dual-core play is definitely a problem in the world. At least until now, no team can solve it. It is like the football version of the "Goldbach Conjecture". Millwall can lend the answer, but other teams can't solve it.

Zhang Yang suddenly felt taller!

This can be regarded as a solution to the world's problems in the football world. If there is a football Nobel Prize, it should be awarded to myself!
Cough cough cough...

The game started.

In the initial stage, the media couldn't tell that Millwall had made any tactical changes, because the starting formation was 451, which was no different from the 4231 often used last season.

Millwall's lineup is also different from the previous warm-up match. The warm-up match must give more players opportunities. Quaresma and Pires, who performed well, did not start. During the game, Zhang Yang also kept changing. Personal adjustment, and strive to give each player time to adapt. Formal games, especially competitions with the same team, can help players better integrate into tactics.

It didn't take long for sharp-eyed reporters to spot the difference.

Last season, Millwall's 4231 formation had two defensive midfielders in charge. So far in this game, the midfielder has one midfielder and two defensive midfielders. There are always two people in front and one in the back.

Not quite right?

If it's okay once or twice, once it's defending, the formation is obvious, and there is only one midfielder every time, which makes people feel wrong.

A lower back?
What does it mean?
The reporters couldn't figure it out. At first they thought it was a problem with players' running positions. After all, there were Sean Davis and Braniff on the field, and they both played in the middle of the midfield.

Sean Davies' performance has been mediocre. He joined Millwall after Christmas and only made five appearances for the team by the end of the season.

Braniff has been playing wing and striker, and it is the first time that he has played in the middle of the midfield.

After a long game, many people can be sure that Millwall has only one midfielder, and the other two are central midfielders.

So the formation is 4141?

This formation is a bit too strange!
The media reporters were all surprised by Millwall's 'double avant-garde, single midfielder' formation, and soon they discovered that the strangeness is not only the formation, Millwall's performance is even more strange, no, it should be "magical" ' to describe.

From the beginning of the game to the present, Udinese has been suppressed.

That is definitely not strength suppression.

Udinese is also a strong team in Serie A, with a very strong level of strength. Millwall's lineup has improved, but it is still impossible to completely suppress Udinese.

Perhaps even top teams such as AC Milan, Manchester United, and Barcelona can't do it.

Millwall's suppression of Udinese mainly relied on very smooth cooperation. Every time they attacked, they played smoothly. The most prominent thing was the connection between the two sides and the center, which had been shifted to a large extent from the left to the right.

Large-scale transfer?
Millwall's offensive attracted the attention of many people. Josh Simpson on the right handed the ball to Davis. Davis passed Braniff diagonally, and the latter crossed it to Konche on the left. ski.

During the continuous transfer of football, the cooperation was very smooth, but many people were surprised to find that the football had been transferred from the right to the left.

Such a large-scale transfer also caused a momentary panic in Udinese's defense. Konchesky took the opportunity to kick to the front of the penalty area, and Sean Davis, who followed him, volleyed and hit the goal!
"Off!"

Stadium announcer Mike Johnson sighed regretfully, and the reporters who turned to watch the game were surprised by Millwall's performance.

Millwall absolutely couldn't play such a smooth cooperation last season!
It is not easy to make a wide range of cooperation from the right to the left. Generally, teams use long passes more, while Millwall uses continuous short passes. This kind of cooperation is not common in the Champions League. See, only the top giants can play such a wonderful picture.

But Millwall did it!
How did they do that?No, it should be asking, how did they arrange it so that the players can perform so well?
Not only did he play well, but it seemed that his coordination was also very easy.

If you don't pay attention to the pass from the right to the left, you may think it was in the Millwall half, but they completed it in the opponent's half.

The media became interested.
