Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 380 No wonder they will be the Premier League champions!
The British commentator spoke to the hearts of the fans.

Millwall is participating in the UEFA Champions League. The fans watching the game in front of the TV are not limited to Millwall fans, and there are many fans of other teams.

No matter which team the fans support, they also support Millwall externally.

The fans also felt very annoyed when they learned that Valencia coach Flores said, "It will easily beat Millwall". Millwall was the Premier League champion last season, and they also performed very well this season. How come? In Flores' mouth, it became a team that can be easily beaten?
This is not only a disgrace to Millwall, but to the entire Premier League, and English football as a whole.

The fans are very angry!
Now seeing Valencia being scored and hearing what the commentator said on TV, they all gloated and looked forward to it.

The gloat is that Valencia was scored and the game was not very good, so how can they do it, the so-called 'beating Millwall easily' as Flores said?The fans are naturally not optimistic about Valencia, so it is said that they are gloating.

What I look forward to is Millwall defeating Valencia. What will Flores say then?Maybe it's 'Millwall beat Valencia comfortably'?
----

When Darren Bent scored the goal, Zhang Yang couldn't help standing up, clenched his fists and waved them fiercely.

Zhang Yang was a little excited.

The important thing is not the goal, but the meaning of the goal: the 'dual core' tactics have succeeded in the European arena!
So what if Valencia is rich in experience, they can't seize the midfield advantage, and they can't match Millwall in terms of cooperation. Even if they occasionally play an advantage, it is only temporary. Millwall finds an opportunity, which is enough to give them a fatal blow.

This goal is the proof!

Valencia's offensive performance was quite good before, suppressing Millwall for a while, but while attacking, their defense was a little negligent.

Millwall found a chance and broke through Valencia's defense with a single coordination.

This is not just a simple counterattack!

Why did Morris stand there, why did he pass the ball to the front, why did Darren Bent rush out to receive the pass?That is not the player's on-the-spot performance, but the movement and delivery required by the overall tactics for the players, which makes the cooperation between the two seem to be incomparably tacit.

That's what tactics bring.

Even if a player is replaced, for example, Morris is replaced by Smicer, and the position is changed again, Smicer can also pass the ball, and Darren Bent will also rush to catch the ball, the only difference is that Whether successful or not, the general method of the counterattack remains the same.

This is tactical success.

The 'dual core' brings closer cooperation between the midfielder and other positions. The offense will be smooth, and the defense can be transformed into a strong interception line. The counterattack can also play speed and coordination.

Zhang Yang believes that as the players become more comfortable with tactics, Millwall's performance will only get better and better.

When Millwall took the lead, the offense became smoother, and the overall offense and defense appeared to be more aggressive. In turn, relying on the midfield advantage, they suppressed Valencia again.

Valencia played very depressed and at the same time very unwilling. The venue of the game was Mestalla. There were tens of thousands of fans watching. Facing a small Premier League club, they were not only behind in the score, but also in the situation. No advantage.

Valencia fought harder.

At this time, Millwall helped them recall a fact that they didn't want to recall: they were at a disadvantage in physical competition.

The Premier League teams are all good at physical confrontation, otherwise it would be impossible to survive in the English football environment. Millwall cannot be said to be the best among them, but it is much better than Valencia.

Valencia worked hard and hard, and they found that there was no way.

How else can I fight?

Many Valencia players all looked towards Flores on the sidelines. They hoped that the head coach could tell them how to play the next game.

Flores said that Millwall is a very easy team to deal with!

Flores stood on the sidelines, frowning tightly, and did nothing for a long time, not because he didn't want to do it, but because he didn't know what to do.

Millwall's strength is too unexpected!
Millwall has a goal advantage, and suppresses Valencia in the situation. In terms of play, it is the same as the scout report. Millwall cooperates very smoothly, the wings are also very strong, and the center is less offensive. But Valencia hadn't fought against the opponent in the middle, so it was just a disadvantage in the midfield. Even David Villa on the front line was defended by the opponent, and he lost his temper at all.

How is this played?
Seeing the game, Flores felt a little regretful, why did he say so much before the game.

Valencia lost a Champions League group match, but it’s actually not a big deal. If two teams can qualify in the group match, he just needs to lead the team to qualify, but the game has become like this. face?

Face is very important!

So how can we save face?
Flores began to think about this issue. As for how to play the game next, let's see what the team can do.

----

The Valencia players probably don't know yet that Flores has 'abandoned' them, or to put it more succinctly, he hopes that they can rely on their own abilities to recover the situation, because they haven't figured out how to change it.

The latter point is key.

The Valencia players felt it because Flores did nothing.

This also affects their morale.

Next, Millwall made persistent efforts, using the cooperation of the center and the wing to pass the ball into the penalty area. Darren Bent received the pass, squeezed the opponent's defender, turned his back and completed the volley.

"0 to 2!"

"Millwall scored the second goal! It's Darren Bent again! Darren Bent scored two goals in a row for the first time in the Champions League. His performance is quite dazzling!"

The British commentator couldn't help but praise Darren Bent, "Last season, Darren Bent scored only fewer goals than Henry, and surpassed Manchester United's Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy at the time. Continuing to continue the high efficiency, we have already helped Millwall score four goals in the league, and now in the Champions League, we have scored two goals in the first game, which is quite remarkable, quite an astonishing statistic!"

"Since joining Millwall, Darren Bent's rise has been too fast. In just over a year, he has gone from a good shooter in the British Championship to a top scorer in Europe and the world!"

"Darren Bent! Let's remember this name! Can expect him to be famous in Europe soon!"

"..."

Millwall led by two goals in the first half.

Valencia did not raise their hands to surrender, but everyone is not optimistic that they can come back, because the game process is also a highlight, Valencia did not play any advantage, and there is no point in them that can come back.

When the time entered the intermission, the British media praised Millwall, and the Spanish media also said in silence, "Valencia has little chance of coming back."

The suspense of the game is not great.

After the first half ended, Flores returned to the locker room without saying a word for a long time. The players thought that the head coach was dissatisfied with the performance of the team. How could they know that Flores was in the locker room He regretted provoking Millwall, and now he has discovered that Millwall is by no means weaker than Valencia's team, and its overall performance is much better than Valencia's.

So what if Millwall has no European experience?
Experience is to let the players know how to play, not the key factor in determining the outcome. Millwall has no experience, but their performance has not been affected at all.

That's the key!
As long as the performance of the whole team is not affected, what is the difference between experienced and inexperienced?
When the game is played smoothly, experience becomes irrelevant, at least for Valencia, there is no hope of a comeback.

As the time passed, Flores still arranged for the second half of the game, because there was no definite coping strategy, he just reminded the players of some small details, such as "pay attention to the opponent's striker", which also used a special Emphasize?
Darren Bent scored twice, enough for everyone to remember his name.

When the game time came to the second half, the situation remained unchanged.

Valencia fans hope to see the team recover and let Millwall, who came to challenge, know how powerful they are, but what they see is that Millwall suppressed Valencia again, threatening Valencia's goal again and again. .

In the face of Millwall's stormy offensive, Valencia had no choice but to shrink the defensive line and defend firmly. With the score behind by two goals, it was almost like surrendering.

When Millwall took the opportunity to score another goal, and the goal was assisted by the full-back Koncheski, Flores suddenly felt powerless sitting on the coach's bench.

It's not a heart attack, it's a feeling about the game.

No matter how hard Valencia tries, no matter how hard the players play and how actively they run, there seems to be an irreparable gap between the two sides.

This sense of powerlessness, Flores has only experienced in Barcelona.

When Valencia played against Barcelona, ​​the opponent was still able to suppress Valencia after leading the score, leaving Valencia with nothing to do.

Flores thought that only Barcelona and Real Madrid could completely suppress Valencia. Now he knows that there is another team named Millwall.

"No wonder they won the Premier League!"

Flores had a belated epiphany. He finally understood why Manchester United and Chelsea could not compete against Millwall. It was not that the team was lucky, but that they had enough strength.

In addition, the European media said that 'Millwall's group is the group of death', which is also very reasonable. Before, he thought that Group D was a good draw, but now he suddenly found that there is no worse group than D!
According to Millwall's performance, they are equivalent to booking a qualifying place, and the remaining one is for the other three teams to compete.

Valencia is the seeded team, and they still haven't escaped the situation of being reduced to 'one of the three teams'.
