Chapter 393

The European media continued to report on Millwall, and the reports also frequently talked about the "dual core" style of play to make the analysis article taller.

Ordinary fans look at the reports one by one, so they feel that Millwall's tactical play has been completely cracked. In fact, it is not the case at all. Most of the reporters who compile the reports do not understand complex tactical issues. It’s useless for them to ask professionals, but literati’s pens can be thought out and edited, and reports don’t need to be too detailed, just give a general idea, including some cooperation in the Millwall competition, To prove the content of the analysis, it seems that the analysis is correct at a casual glance, but there is no real content, and it is impossible for other teams to refer to similar analysis to imitate Millwall's style of play.

In each analysis report, they all hold a positive attitude towards Millwall's style of play, mainly because the role played by the style of play is very obvious. When the two teams faced each other head-on, whether it was an overall confrontation or a technical confrontation, Millwall did not lose.

This is the biggest effect.

The overall confrontation, that is, the game as a whole, there is an explanation for Millwall not falling behind. The British media who are familiar with Millwall stood up and said, "Millwall's tactics are formulated based on the ability of the players. Under the tactical framework, Millwall players can make up for the lack of strength in the lineup."

In terms of technical confrontation, it is the role of 'dual core'.

No matter how good the tactics are, it is impossible to improve the technical ability of the players. The 'dual core' style of play makes Millwall's cooperation smooth, and the overall technical ability performance has risen to a higher level.

This is also where the European media look highly on Millwall.

There is a saying in professional football that "defense wins". If you want to improve your results, you must sacrifice a certain amount of viewing, but the "dual core" tactic is completely positive. It not only makes Millwall's technical ability The improvement also made their football look better.

Many clubs have begun to refer to Millwall's style of play, and continue to study the 'dual core' tactics, hoping to give the team some reference value.

Of course, there is no result at all for a short time.

Millwall's 'dual-core' tactics are completely realized under the tactical framework of 'making players more free'. If ordinary players adopt 'dual-core' rashly, they will definitely encounter various conventional problems, and then find that what they have done Everything is useless.

But in any case, Millwall and the 'dual-core' style of play have attracted the attention of the whole of Europe.

Zhang Yang also received huge attention.

The number of journalists outside the Millwall club has increased. In the past, there were a few or a dozen figures every day, and they would not leave even if they could not be interviewed. They stayed for a long time hoping to get an interview opportunity.

Now the number of reporters has increased sharply, reaching 100 to [-]. On a day when Millwall held an open training session, the number of reporters entering the club almost reached [-].

This is the influence of three consecutive Champions League victories.

After the morning training, the reporters were allowed to enter the training ground for interviews. Every player was surrounded by reporters, but the one with the most reporters was not Darren Bent, Jody Morris, or Pires. , Zambrotta, but the team's head coach Zhang Yang.

All reporters are interested in Zhang Yang.

When the reporters found out that Zhang Yang could be interviewed, they swarmed over, asking whether the hot 'dual-core' tactic was to be discussed. They could definitely find other members of the coaching staff, or core players, and more people. I want to know why Zhang Yang can be so successful as the head coach of a professional club at such an age?
Zhang Yang's answer is very standard, "I like football. When I first became the head coach, there were many things I didn't understand, but the club's senior management gave me absolute trust, and Aldous, Wise, and Frederick also gave me It has helped me a lot and I have a good team."

This sentence is impeccable. I thank the club and the team, but there must be no meaning at all. There are many head coaches who have been trusted by the club and have excellent coaching staff. Why can't other head coaches succeed?

The reporters couldn't find any other answers after digging to the bottom.

Zhang Yang is too young, and his life experience is very simple. In the eyes of many people, his resume can be described as pale, but once he becomes the head coach, it seems that he will soar into the sky?

Reporters recalled Zhang Yang's success.

Zhan Gang first became famous by posting football content on Weibo, then served as a guest on the BBC broadcast, and then was invited to become a "match instructor" for a professional club, and then became a real head coach when Wise was injured.

This process still makes sense.

There is a certain element of luck in it, but looking back on Zhang Yang's success, it can also be concluded that, "He is a natural head coach!"

That's right, that's it!
I can't think of any other better explanation, I can only say that Zhang Yang is a 'natural head coach'!
It is actually very easy to explain the so-called "natural head coach". There are also natural stars. Those young geniuses can be said to be "natural stars". Why can't they use "natural head coaches"?

Speculative reports came out one after another.

Zhang Yang's name and photos frequently appeared on the pages of mainstream media. With the spread of European media reports, more and more people knew about Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's popularity is increasing rapidly!
----

The third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, and the Premier League ushered in the ninth round of the league. Millwall challenged Chelsea away.

This is a focus battle.

In the previous eight rounds, Chelsea had six wins, one draw and one loss, with the same points as Manchester United. With a goal difference advantage, they ranked second in the league. So far, Chelsea's performance can't keep up with Millwall, but they still show a strong posture.

For Millwall and Chelsea, this round is a very crucial game. The direct collision between the two teams always attracts the attention of countless media and fans.

Both Zhang Yang and Mourinho kept a low profile before the game.

The reason for Mourinho's low-key should be that he can't be high-profile. From last season to now, Chelsea lost to Millwall three times, and he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Yang is worried about the physical condition of the players.

Millwall has just finished playing against Roma, and after a big battle, the state of the whole team will definitely be affected.

Chelsea's home game was also very low-key, and Zhang Yang didn't say much. The low-key of both sides made the media a little bit disappointed.

The game also made them feel lost.

Millwall was a little out of shape, and his frontcourt efficiency was a bit low. Darren Bent took five shots and failed to score a goal.

The same goes for other players.

After 10 and [-] minutes of the game, Millwall had [-] shots, four of which were within the frame and zero goals; Chelsea's data was similar, with [-] shots, six within the frame, and no goals. ball.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and made a peace.

This result was acceptable to both sides. After the game, the "Times" analyzed and pointed out, "Millwall is an away game, and the draw is still ranked first in the league. Chelsea is the first time in two seasons that they have 'not lost' to Millwall. Wall. This can be regarded as an improvement, so that Chelsea players will not have 'Millwall phobia'."

Mourinho's relaxed expression after the game also explained certain problems.

Although Chelsea will play very hard every time they meet Millwall, and they also declare that they will not be afraid of any team, but the three-game losing streak against Millwall will definitely make the players in the team have certain ideas. You think the team can't beat Millwall, and when you're at a disadvantage, you think 'we're going to lose'.

That affects morale.

Now that there is an acceptable draw, it will also make Chelsea players feel better about facing Millwall.

Zhang Yang felt that it didn't matter.

It is not so easy to beat Chelsea. Every process is quite difficult. Millwall has only experienced a battle with Roma. When the team confronts Chelsea, it is not bad to get a point.

At the end of this game, Millwall still has a point advantage over Manchester United.

A point is also an advantage.

Millwall is still top of the league.

----

Three days later, the English League Cup arrived.

In the third round of the English League Cup, the top eight teams in the Premier League will also join it. Millwall's opponent is Milton Keynes, which is an English third-tier league team.

Millwall's luck is not bad.

Some teams were unlucky. For example, Newcastle United met Charlton in the League Cup, which was almost equivalent to playing an extra round of the league. Others include Bolton, who met Arsenal. The four teams were equal to each other. Played one more round of the league.

Millwall has it pretty easy.

With a wave of Zhang Yang's hand, one by one the substitute players came on the stage, not only Curtis Weston, Traore and others, but even the players promoted by the two youth teams to make up the number got the chance to play.

In the end, Millwall won the game 3-1 away.

Zhang Yang is quite satisfied with the team's performance. Even Milton Keynes can't be regarded as an opponent, but the strength of Millwall's substitute lineup is not much better, especially the young players of the youth team who played are not as strong as the opponent's players. They can easily beat the opponent. It's been pretty good.

After playing the League Cup game, it is another league game.

The time has come to the end of October.

Millwall's home game against Reading is the last game in October.

Under the leadership of Koppel last season, Reading won the British Championship with a huge advantage and was able to successfully upgrade to the Premier League.

As a new team, Reading's players' Premier League experience is almost a blank sheet of paper. Koppel's goal of leading the team is to emulate the newly promoted Millwall and Wigan Athletic who performed outstandingly in the Premier League last season, but he also pointed out that, "It is almost impossible to replicate the success of Millwall. The main goal we emulate is Wigan Athletic."

Compared with Wigan Athletic, Reading's investment in the transfer market is too shabby.

Before the season, coach Koppel believed that Reading's current player configuration can completely keep the Premier League seat, and the confidence of the whole team is necessary, but after all, there are examples of Sunderland in front of us, and being too optimistic may not be a good thing.
