Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 396
Vardy and Braniff are regarded as Millwall's 'brain duo'.

This is not Zhang Yang's own idea, but the private name of the players in the team.

The personalities of the two are very wonderful.

Braniff is the kind of player who is "God's boss, his second child". Sometimes he feels that even God can't compare to him. When he encounters a match, he can deal with eleven players on his own.

Don't talk about any star in front of Braniff, Maradona and Robinho are not as good as him.

Such a guy with a bad personality is of course very unpopular in the team. Except for a few old players who worked hard together, such as Simpson, Weston, and Darren Ward, others are not willing to pay attention to them.

After Vardy entered Millwall, he quickly became a "good friend" of Braniff.

It's not that Vardy has a weird personality, but that there is a problem with his brain circuit. His thinking is a little jumpy. Often when other people talk about this, he quickly jumps to other places.

Sometimes when Vardy talks, he keeps talking about himself, as if it doesn't matter what other people say.

Zhang Yang has carefully studied Vardy's character, occasionally thinking that this guy is a 'genius'.Doesn't it mean that the brain circuits of geniuses are different from ordinary people?Perhaps Vardy's future success is also related to his IQ circuit.

Before the two came on the field, Zhang Yang told them what to do in the game. He said to Braniff, "Kevin, remember to cooperate more, pay attention to Vladimir's position at all times, and pass the ball forward as much as possible. Create a threat to the opponent's goal."

Braniff patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Boss, I can do well! You should have let me go up, I can't wait! I said a long time ago that Jody is not as good as me in the middle! If I start Come out, we are already ahead!"

as long as you can!
Zhang Yang took a deep breath, forcibly twitched the corners of his mouth, took a deep breath to suppress the air pressure, and decided not to be as knowledgeable as this guy.

Next, Zhang Yang told Vardy to pay attention to running more, and while constantly looking for gaps, he also restrained Rome's defense.

This is what Vardy should do.

In terms of dominance in the penalty area, Vardy can't keep up with Darren Bent, and he can't match Darren Bent in terms of shooting ability, but Vardy also has his own advantages. He has more physical fitness and speed. It is also very fast, even surpassing Darren Bent, running around the penalty area all the time, can contain the opponent's defense.

Vardy nodded, "I see, boss."

Zhang Yang is in a good mood.

Vardy is really much more 'obedient' than Braniff.But then a question from Vardy made Zhang Yang feel that he was thinking too much, "By the way, boss, I scored a goal in a while, what should I do to celebrate? It's an away game, and there are too many visiting team fans around. Will this action make the referee feel that he is provoking the fans?"

Vardy said and made a gesture of whistling and waving.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to make a comment, Vardy immediately changed his gesture of raising his hands and bouncing around, "How about this? I thought about it for a long time just now, and I think it's all good. It's really not a good choice. I have difficulty choosing."

"..."

Zhang Yang looked at Vardy speechlessly, gritted his teeth and said, "Whatever!"

----

Braniff and Vardy played at the same time, which surprised the media and commentators.

This substitution was too decisive.

The game had just started in the second half, and Millwall made two substitutions. Morris and Darren Bent were replaced. From the outside world, they were undoubtedly the core players of Millwall, but At the same time was replaced.

"I don't know what Zhang Yang's consideration is, but from a normal point of view, this substitution is a bit bad."

"Darren Bent and Morris were average in the first half, but maybe they should have been given more time."

"Morris and Smicer have always been Millwall's core mid-lane combination. Now that Morris is off the field, I don't know if Braniff and Smicer can cooperate..."

"Millwall's decisive substitution is tantamount to making the final gamble in advance. All three substitutions are used up. Whether it will be effective or not depends on the next game..."

"..."

According to the analysis of the media and commentators, the game has restarted, and the two teams have reinvested in offense and defense.

From the first minute of the game, Roma has a considerable advantage. They have more ball possession, more attacks and more shots, and their turnover rate is much lower than Millwall.

Five minutes into the second half, Roma still maintained an oppressive advantage. Although the advantage was not as obvious as in the first half, they were still able to suppress Millwall.

After two or three waves of offense and defense, many people discovered that Millwall's performance gradually improved.

Millwall began to cooperate in the midfield and also began to play a smooth attack. Driven by the center, the connection between the side and the center became tighter. In less than 5 minutes, Quaresma made a cross. Created an opportunity for Smicer and made a threatening shot from the outside.

Most of the fans didn't care, and the Roma players on the field had a deeper experience.

Before the Roma players felt that Millwall’s performance was not normal, the opponent was not used to the atmosphere of the away game, and most of the players’ performances were a bit poor. Ordinary passing, running, and defense were difficult to see at a glance. The most obvious ones were mistakes. Rate.

Millwall's overall turnover rate is very high, and often one of three or four offenses ends because of a turnover.

This situation has changed.

The combination of Braniff and Smicer played flexibility in the middle, and the 'dual core' played well, and it also radiated to the entire team, making it easier for other players to integrate into the whole.

Millwall's performance is stable, and the biggest contributor is Braniff.

Others haven't noticed it yet, but Zhang Yang has noticed it. Before Morris was on the court, perhaps because his condition was affected, he played a little conservatively. He stayed in the backcourt most of the time. Braniff was different. He played In the future, I will run frequently and cooperate with my teammates a lot. While the continuous passing is wonderful, it also allows other teammates to quickly regain their status.

At this time, Zhang Yang also discovered the advantages of Braniff.

When he first got to know Braniff, Zhang Yang only thought that this guy was a thorn in his side. When he returned to the team to participate in the game again, he found that Braniff was a good striker. Later, he found that Braniff had comprehensive abilities. Let him switch to the left midfielder to make up for the team's lack of offensive left.

Braniff's performance on the left is very stable, thanks to his comprehensive ability.

Now Braniff plays in the middle and serves as the core of the team. He also benefits from his comprehensive ability. He is even more comprehensive than Morris, whether it is passing, overall situation, dribbling, flexibility, speed, etc. , Braniff gets a 'good' rating.

Braniff has no particularly outstanding advantages, but his overall ability is enough to make him a qualified midfielder.

Now Braniff has shown this kind of comprehensiveness. Of course, he is not as good as Roma's core Totti, but his comprehensive ability is also enough to make it difficult for the opponent to restrict him.

"By next season, Kevin should be able to replace Vladimir." Zhang Yang looked at the game and turned to Wise.

Wise nodded, "I always thought he was a good player. Of course, it would be even better if he didn't have that mouth."

Both laughed.

Braniff's growth is still relatively important. Millwall's core players in the middle are Morris and Smicer. In terms of ability, the two have their own strengths, but Smicer's state has been declining. By next season It may not be possible to play a few times for the team. If the state declines too quickly, the club will also consider ending the contract early, so there must be a player to replace Smicer.

Zhang Yang considered Simpson before, but now it seems that Braniff, who has comprehensive abilities, is more suitable.

With the continuous improvement of experience, Braniff's growth rate is also very fast. He has already surpassed the level of the average Premier League midfielder. By the next season, he will only be 24 years old. If he can really grow up, the team There will be no shortage of top midfielders in the next five years.

Compared with Braniff's midfielder playing the role of threading the needle, Vardy, who played at the same time, is less conspicuous.

This may also be because Vardy is a pure striker.

Vardy and Darren Bent are of the same type. They both belong to the kind of striker who needs the support of his teammates so much that he can perform stably. It is very difficult for him to perform well by himself.

Since coming off the bench, Vardy hasn't had any outstanding performances, and even the number of touches is pitiful.

At the very beginning, the Roma players noticed that Vardy was replacing Darren Bent, and they were marking him very closely, but they gradually discovered that this opponent did not seem to be threatened by Darren Bent, and even the defense was loose. a lot of.

Vardy's performance was not affected.

He has been running constantly, tearing the Roma defense back and forth, looking for opportunities for himself, but also paying attention to supporting his teammates. The British commentator commented, "Although the number of touches is very small, the enthusiasm is still worthy of praise."

Zhang Yang didn't see it that way.

Whether Vardy is performing well or not can only be seen when he holds the ball in front of the goal. Forward players play the role of the final word. Players like Vardy and Darren Bent can kick two balls in a game. Enough is enough, their job is to kick the ball into the goal.

Vardy's performance, so far it is impossible to judge whether it is good or bad.

Zhang Yang has confidence in Vardy. From last season to now, in more than a year, Vardy's growth rate is definitely the first in the team. He has grown from a rookie to not much worse than Darren Bent. An excellent striker, and his own unique skill - stop the ball.

Vardy's stop is the best in the team. He can steadily receive passes of various strengths and send them to his feet in the most comfortable way. His explosive speed is also very fast. He often stops the ball and then another A sprint is enough to leave the opponent behind.

When the situation is unfavorable to Millwall, it is normal for Vardy to not perform for a short period of time. This does not mean that his state is poor, but that he has no chance.

As Millwall's cooperation became smoother, all players in the team performed better, and Vardy's opportunities also increased.

----

26 minutes into the second half, Millwall launched a wave of offense.

Millwall had been passing in the midfield before, and the forward pass was either a big foot or a step-by-step pass. This time Braniff kicked a mid-range pass on the turf.

The football crossed a distance of nearly 20 meters and rushed forward. Smicer stretched his legs in the middle and failed to reach the ball. Most of them thought that Braniff made a pass error, but the football suddenly appeared in Vardy underfoot.

This pass was beyond Rome's expectations.

When Vardy received the pass, there was no one around him to defend him. He stopped the ball steadily, turned around and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

The Roman defender suddenly realized that they had made a mistake and had to make up for it, and the three players rushed towards Vardy.

Vardy dribbled the ball into the penalty area. The space in the penalty area was limited. He did not spread out. Before the Roma players intercepted, he glanced at the direction of the goal. Almost everyone thought that he would choose to shoot directly, but he passed the ball. go out.

The football fell to the feet of Quaresma who inserted in the wing!

Roma's attention was focused on Vardy, and no one was marking Quaresma at all, and their defense suddenly panicked.

Vardy's pass was excellent, but Quaresma still missed the shot. He swung his right foot in front of the ball, but came a tricky cross.

The football flew close to the turf and passed between the two Roma players.

Goalkeeper Dhoni's attention is on the front point.

Quaresma's waving movements were so realistic that Dhoni almost made a save. When he found out that the opponent was passing the ball, his reaction was delayed by half a beat. When he turned his head and looked in the middle, he found that the football had already flown. In front of another Millwall player.

shoot!

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Kevin—"

"—Braniff——!!"

"Braniff! Braniff! The game progressed to No.70 two minutes, and Braniff, who came off the bench, helped Millwall equalize the score! One to one! This is a wonderful performance from Millwall's frontcourt Cooperate!"

"Let's take a look at the slow motion. This is also the attack led by Braniff. Braniff, Vardy, Quaresma, and then passed back. Three consecutive passes made the Roma defense collapse instantly! In the end Braniff easily Kicked the ball into the goal and goalkeeper Dhoni had nothing to do but watch as Millwall equalised!"

The commentator's shouts echoed on the TV, and the Millwall fans celebrated the goal excitedly.

These Millwall fans failed to follow the team to Rome, but there is a lot of support for the team.

They watched the game for the first time.

When they saw the team's poor performance and playing very passively, they were also worried about the game. Fortunately, the score has been tied now, and the fans are all relieved.

The Olympiad Stadium in Rome seemed a bit quiet, and the fans of the home team, Roma, kept their mouths shut. They expected the team to beat Millwall to win, but they didn't expect to see Millwall's goal, especially the opponent played such a wonderful match. , it is really unacceptable.

The Millwall players on the field were very excited. They were suppressed for the whole game, and the game was extremely depressed.

Now finally there is a goal.

Braniff rushed towards Vardy, the two embraced excitedly, and raised their hands and clapped vigorously, "Nice job!"

"tacit agreement!"

The other teammates also reacted and rushed over to celebrate together.

Most of the teammates don't like Braniff. They don't talk to Braniff on weekdays, but they can't stop them from celebrating their goals. The goals not only belong to Braniff, but also to the whole of Millwall!
