Chapter 378 Excellent coordination and smooth skills? ?

Millwall defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0 and won the fourth round of the Premier League.

2 to 0 is just a small score, but the score cannot represent the process. Throughout the game, Wigan Athletic can be described as "desperate". In the face of Millwall's powerful offensive, Wigan Athletic has no strength to fight back. .

A data comparison shows the game situation: Mill Volvo has [-] shots and scored [-] goals; Wigan Athletic has only [-] shots and [-] goals.

Millwall was affected by the international match day. After rotating most of the lineup, the efficient players in front of the goal did not play. However, Wigan Athletic retreated to the penalty area and almost could not attack at all. The defense in the penalty area was very tight. Considering this Factor, [-] shots and two goals, not too bad data.

Zhang Yang is quite satisfied with the team's performance.

So far, the gap between Millwall's main players and substitutes is still relatively large. It is not the difference in player strength, but the difference in tactical application.

Millwall's tactics are based on position. Players must adapt to what kind of personal tactics they play, and personal tactics are set according to the ability of the 'main lineup players'.

For example, on the left side, the left midfielder's style of play is set according to Pires' personal ability. Other players who use the "Pirres tailor-made" style of play will definitely have adaptation problems. Therefore, the rotation of fixed positions is beneficial to players. The overall performance has a great impact, and a large number of rotations and tactics will not even be effective.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yang decided to adopt the 442 formation. Because of a large number of rotations, the 'dual core' tactics will lose their meaning, and there may even be 'chaos'.

Therefore, Millwall's tactical training work focuses on matching formations as much as possible, putting players with good strength into the formation one by one, and formulating individual training plans based on their characteristics.

This workload is very large.

In the eleven-man lineup, every time a player is added, the "lingual calculation" must be specially used to derive the tactics. So far, the team's tactics cover only fourteen players, not including Simpson who is in the same position. , Braniff, Smicer, and even Vardy failed to 'line up'.

Zhang Yang can only study tactics as much as possible.

This will definitely be a long-term job that lasts for a season, or even multiple seasons.

After the game, Zhang Yang shook hands with Jewell, and Jewell praised with a wry smile on his face, "I have a feeling that you guys are playing harder than last season."

"Thank you, but we're still missing a lot."

"Oh?"

"For example, the cooperation of the players is not yet familiar, especially those who have just come to the team."

Zhang Yang explained the sentence casually.

Jewell didn't delve into it, but said, "The outside world is saying that you will be in the top six, and it's best to only be in the top four, but after this game, I can be sure that you will be strong contenders for the championship."

"Thank you."

Zhang Yang thanked him again.

The relationship between the two is not bad, it was like this last season, and during the process of going to the press conference together, Jewell even complained to Zhang Yang about Wigan Athletic——
"The club invested too little, and I couldn't buy the players I wanted."

"In the short term, it is difficult for the team to develop much."

"I really hope that one day I can coach a big club. But I admire you even more. Millwall is a small club, but it won the championship last season. It is a miracle..."

Zhang Yang didn't care about Jewell's compliment, but instead noticed the opponent's dissatisfaction with Wigan Athletic.

Does this mean you don't want to continue working?

It is possible!

When a capable head coach finds that there is no possibility of leading the team forward, he will really lose the motivation to continue.

This is also a problem that most head coaches have to face!

----

Millwall's win at Wigan Athletic does not mean that the 'international break' fallout has been resolved.

The impact is still there.

Before the match against Charlton, Zhang Yang discovered the problem through "spiritual divination". No matter how he changed the lineup, the best luck evaluation was also "fierce". The PASS is lost.

Millwall can only deal with Charlton in the fifth round of the Premier League with a lineup that is assessed as 'fierce'.

2:2.

This is the final score.

This season's Charlton, the strength and performance are very average, no longer the dark horse state of last season, and only won one game in the first few games, but they performed very well against Millwall at home, and Millwall's performance was not good. Some sluggishness, especially when the offense failed to take into account the defense, Charlton got a lot of opportunities.

The result of 2 to 2 also proved the process.

Millwall played some advantages, but not decisive, and the team's four-game winning streak ended.

Zhang Yang didn't care.

The day before the start of the game, he knew that it was difficult for the team to win, and it was acceptable not to lose.

The media did not let Millwall go. At the press conference after the game, some media began to explode, asking sharp questions such as 'Millwall's draw with Charlton means that the performance has begun to decline'.

Zhang Yang only felt it was funny, and he asked back, "Is it normal for us to win all?"

"I don't think it's a big deal to draw a game. If you want to do critical coverage, maybe you should criticize Manchester United. They lost to Arsenal and we just drew, so we are still at the top of the league."

The media has nothing to say.

The media, who have no good impression of Millwall, have been waiting for a long time for Millwall's performance to decline. Unfortunately, Millwall has been winning.

This draw with Charlton is the best opportunity.

But what...

The focus of this round of battle, Manchester United played against Arsenal at home, the final result was 0 to 1, Manchester United lost to Arsenal at home.

Manchester United and Millwall, both teams with four unbeaten victories, ended up losing at home. After this round, they still have one point less than Millwall.

How can this criticize Millwall?

Criticizing the poor performance of the No. [-] team in the league is simply the biggest joke, no matter how stupid the readers are, they will never buy it!
----

The fifth round of the Premier League is over, and Millwall is about to usher in the first Champions League game. Their opponent is the strongest team in Group D and the seed team in Group D, Valencia.

This is the Millwall club's first Champions League game in its century-old history, and it will also be the first Champions League game led by Zhang Yang.

In Zhang Yang's mind, only the Champions League is a major competition.

Perhaps it was influenced by being an ordinary fan in the previous life. When the media reported on foreign players, they only reported on the core stars. When they reported on the teams, they only reported on the top clubs. Naturally, only the most influential ones would be broadcast live when they reported on the competition system.

Therefore, in Zhang Yang's eyes, ordinary players cannot be called stars. Only those above the level of Zambrotta and Pires can barely reach the threshold of stars; Only those who can compete for the league championship and the Champions League championship are considered top teams; ordinary cup games are meaningless at all, and only the UEFA Champions League and the World Cup are worthy of attention.

Now Millwall faces the very top competition.

Zhang Yang was a little excited.

Many Millwall players have also become very serious during training. It can be seen that they are also looking forward to the Champions League.

----

When the Champions League group stage is about to start, Valencia coach Flores is in a good mood.

After the UEFA Champions League group draw, Zhang Yang claimed that Millwall was assigned to Group D, which was not bad luck, but in Flores' view, Valencia really got a 'good draw'.

Rome?

Relying on the punishment of Juventus by the Italian Football Association, Roma's ranking rose and they were able to participate in the UEFA Champions League. Since the history of the UEFA Champions League, Roma has had difficulty in achieving good results, and this year will not be different.

Millwall?

What good results can a small club newly emerging in the Premier League, led by a young man in his early twenties, achieve in the Champions League?It's just ridiculous.Even if they were the Premier League champions last season, there was not much pressure at all. The Premier League is the Premier League, and the Champions League is the Champions League. The two have nothing to do with each other.

Shakhtar Donetsk?

Needless to say, the Ukrainian team cannot threaten Valencia.

It was Valencia that got the 'good sign'. The other three teams in the group basically had no threat.

In Flores' view, No.1 in Group D must belong to Valencia, No.2 is the competition between Roma and Millwall, and Shakhtar Donetsk basically has no chance.

Valencia's scouts also collected some opponent information.

As analyzed by the Spanish media, the team that needs the most attention in Group D is Millwall, because they were the Premier League champions last season. Those with certain strength are likely to become spoilers in Group D, and their performance is full of uncertainty.

When Valencia's scouts brought back news about Millwall's 'new style of play', Flores' mentality stabilized.

Millwall actually played technical football and adopted the so-called 'dual core' tactics.

"Smooth coordination, outstanding technique, strong side attack...?"

Looking at the scouts' analysis of Millwall's strength, Flores pouted. These words of analysis are similar to those of the Spanish team. It is probably certain that Millwall's offensive ability is good. The law is full of technicalities.

But Millwall is a Premier League team!

The brutal style of the Premier League teams makes it impossible to play Spanish-style technical football, and the pursuit of technical football will not be worth the loss. They should rely on a tough style to play.

"Perhaps the other teams in the Premier League didn't adapt to Millwall's style, so they suddenly rose up and won the league championship?"

Flores has a verdict.

Valencia has nothing to worry about. If you look for any team in La Liga, you can use 'superior technology' and 'smooth coordination' to describe Valencia. To describe it, the opponents they often encounter are also "outstanding skills" and "smooth coordination". They have too much experience in dealing with such teams.
