Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 395

The night before the game, Zhang Yang performed a "spirit divination" on the lineup to predict the "prospect" of the next day's game.

'Spiritual Divination' can judge two attributes: one is to determine the future of the lineup, which is to roughly judge the strength that the lineup can play; value.

The lucky value of the game is not bad. Several lineups are good and bad, basically in a normal state.

The result of judging the future of the lineup is a little bit worse.

All the lineup prospects are judged, at most there is only a "seven-star" evaluation, and some are "six-star" evaluations.

Zhang Yang had long expected that the team's performance would be affected, but he didn't expect the impact to be so great.

This bad away game had a great impact on the player's state. Most of the players on the field performed poorly. After observing for nearly a half, Zhang Yang also discovered which players performed stably and which players performed quite poorly.

Among them, the stable performance belongs to those strong and experienced players--
Pires, Zambrotta.

Whether it is Pires or Zambrotta, they belong to the kind of players with rich experience in European wars and strong strength. They have experienced many major competitions. The battle in Rome can't scare them at all. In the voice, they still maintain a stable performance, but football is a team sport. When teammates generally perform poorly, their performance will also be affected to a certain extent.

Goalkeeper Hislop had little to say.

Zhang Yang was afraid of Graham Stark's lack of experience and was affected by the atmosphere of the away game, so Hislop returned to the starting lineup. Hislop has more experience and has not made any major mistakes so far.

In addition to the above three, other players are somewhat affected.

Among them, the player with little influence is David Livermore. This guy's reaction is a bit slow, his brain is a little bit stiff, and the Roman fans booed him for a long time. Morris is much better.

In addition, Quaresma has not been affected much. He has also participated in the Champions League in Porto, and he still has some experience. However, facing Roma's solid defense, Quaresma still did not show his own characteristics. There is not much support in the frontcourt.

The most affected players on the field are Josh Simpson and Darren Bent.

Josh Simpson and Darren Bent belong to the kind of players who perform well on weekdays but do not have much experience. Both of them are participating in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Such an away game is definitely the first time they have met. arrive.

Simpson's running is a bit stiff. Darren Bent has not had a good chance so far. He is very uncomfortable with the away game atmosphere.

----

In the No. 40 minute of the game, Zhang Yang began to hesitate when he saw Roma hitting Millwall's goal again and again, and Millwall's advance and counterattack were always unable to play the due threat.

In the vision of 'prediction', there will be no goals in the next few minutes, but they will not be seen in stoppage time. No one knows whether Roma will score again, especially when the team plays so passively .

In the end Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and decided to make an early substitution.

Millwall waved to the fourth official to signal a substitution, and Zhang Yang chose to let the experienced Smicer replace Josh Simpson.

This substitution is very important.

The reason why Millwall's performance has been greatly affected is that the performance of the two core players in the middle, Simpson and Morris, has been affected. Morris has been less affected, and Simpson's performance has been messed up.

Both cores are not performing well, what about 'dual core'?
When they saw that Millwall was going to make a substitution, the media and commentator were suddenly surprised——
"Millwall is going to make a substitution! What happened? It's No. 40 minutes, a few more minutes, the first half is coming to an end."

"It seems that Zhang Yang can't bear Simpson's poor performance!"

"Perhaps Simpson was affected by the atmosphere of the scene, and his performance was a mess, but the timing of this substitution is not right..."

"Let's see, it's the Czech star Smicer who played. Last season, Smicer was Millwall's steady main force, but he is old after all. This season, Simpson, Davis, etc. In such an important game, Zhang Yang still chose to trust the experienced veteran!"

"..."

When Smitchell replaced Simpson, Millwall's performance improved significantly, the midfield cooperation began to flow smoothly, and the connection between the front and back courts became tighter.

Although the field is still suppressed by Roma, the team has been able to play some decent offense.

Zhang Yang let Simpson, who was off the field, sit next to him, and said to him seriously, "Sit here and feel the atmosphere of the away game. See how other people play in this atmosphere. We will participate in the Champions League and will often You have to adapt when you're in a situation like this. Got it?"

Simpson put his head down, knowing he wasn't doing well.

From the beginning of the game, he felt the hostility around him and the seemingly endless boos from the audience. His mentality was affected. Every time he took the ball, he always paid attention to the sound of the scene, which also reminded him that there were a huge number of players Fans are watching themselves.

This mentality made him nervous, and the nervousness affected his performance.

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Simpson gritted his teeth and looked around unwillingly. He knew that he needed more experience and quickly adapted to the atmosphere of the away game. Otherwise, wouldn't he be unable to play in the away games of the Champions League in the future?

Surely not!
Simpson wasn't the only one who didn't perform well. Darren Bent also performed poorly. Morris played more steadily, but he didn't stabilize much.

In the next game, Millwall's performance improved, but not much.

Roma's defense is very solid, and the offense is still sharp. Millwall is a little out of breath in the time behind. Millwall can only shrink the formation to limit Roma's offensive space, and drag the game to the first half. The field is over.

As the referee blew his whistle, the Millwall players let out a long breath.

This depressing halftime is finally over.

Zhang Yang also took a long breath. Although he was behind by one goal at halftime, it was over after all. There was an interval of more than ten minutes, which allowed the players to adjust their state.

----

In the locker room of the visiting team at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, there was a roar——
"Don't care about the fans! You're the players! You're in the game! Even if there's a war around, the bullets won't fall on you!"

"I don't know what you are all thinking! Could it be that if the opponent's fans are louder, you will not be able to participate in the game?"

"Nervous? Are you all newcomers?"

"This is the Champions League! We are playing Roma! Why are their fans booing? Because they are afraid of us, not us of them!"

"If Roma could win the game easily, they wouldn't do it at all! Because there is no need!"

"The louder they shout, the more they demonstrate their fear of us!"

"We have won three games before, how about Roma? Only won one! Their fans just want to influence, we don't need to be nervous, they should be nervous!"

"..."

One roar after another shocked the ears of every player in the room. Many players forgot their nervousness and the bad situation in the first half of the game, and just stared blankly at Zhang Yang on the field.

Zhang Yang was roaring.

This is extremely rare!
Whether it is a new player or an old player, Zhang Yang has always felt that he has a good temper. He will hardly say anything to the players in anger. Even if some players are lazy in training, he will only speak very seriously, but the tone is still very flat. .

It's different now.

Zhang Yang let out a hysterical roar, using all his strength to yell crazily.

This scares many players.

They discovered for the first time that the coach was so 'scary' when he became strict!
In fact, Zhang Yang's mood is still very calm, he did not lose his mind because of the poor performance of the team.

People always have a lazy type.

Professional players are also ordinary people. They may attribute poor game state to objective factors such as 'away game', 'opponent fans' and 'luck', instead of trying to adjust their own state.

So Zhang Yang needs to shout to let the players know that he is very angry and dissatisfied with their performance, then they will worry about whether they will be replaced, whether the coach will be dissatisfied with them, and the number of appearances in the future will be affected .

Under this kind of pressure, they can work hard to perform well.

Zhang Yang is putting pressure on the team.

When the shouting ended, 10 minutes had passed, and then Zhang Yang only said two points——
First, the tactics remain unchanged.

The style of play against Roma has been tested in the last game. As long as the team plays stably, Millwall cannot say that it will definitely win, but it is definitely at an advantage.

The second point, substitutions.

Morris and Darren Bent were told they would be replaced early.

This is also a deterrent to the whole team.

Morris and Darren Bent are the absolute main players in the team. Morris is the captain of the team and has always been the most stable central player. He is considered to be the pillar of Millwall.

Darren Bent is the team's leading goalscorer and is considered one of England's best forwards.

When the performance is not good, Morris and Darren Bent will be replaced, so what about the others?Maybe if there are more substitutions, everyone else will also be replaced, right?
Many players feel sorry for each other.

----

The replacement of Morris and Darren Bent is also a "shock and awe" strategy that Zhang Yang thought of.

In addition, the two should also be replaced.

Simpson, Morris and Darren Bent, the three cannot be said to be the worst performers of the team, but their performance is not good, especially Morris, affected by the atmosphere of the away game, he is a little out of shape.

As a central midfielder, poor performance has too much impact on the team.

Zhang Yang will not continue to give Morris a chance.

This is a kind of 'shock' to the players of the whole team, and it also lets everyone know that the fairness of playing, when the absolute core performance is not good, they will be forced to come off the field instead of staying on the field to find their status, which will make everyone I feel that if the opportunity to play is fair, then other players will work very hard.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhang Yang made a substitution immediately.

This is an all-or-nothing adjustment.

Each team only has three substitutions. Simpson was replaced in the first half, and one spot has been used up. Plus Morris and Darren Bent, all three spots have been used up. Millwall It is also impossible to continue to make adjustments.

Zhang Yang didn't care.

One is that Millwall can accept failure. They won the first three games in the group stage, and they can accept losing one game.

Second, the deterrence of the whole team is much more important than a game.

Zhang Yang's substitution choices are also very interesting. Morris is replaced by Braniff, and Darren Bent is replaced by Vardy.

'Brain hole duo' appeared.

Braniff and Vardy both belong to the kind of guys with "brains that are different from ordinary people". Everyman' guy is not necessarily, like Livermore, a single-minded player, hardly affected.

If Vardy and Braniff play normally, their performance will not be worse than the combination of Morris and Darren Bent.
