Chapter 397 Going Further to the Champions League Goal

When he saw Braniff kicking the ball into the goal, Zhang Yang rushed out with the others, huddled together in excitement, and when he calmed down, he continued to clap his hands.

The performance of several players in the frontcourt is really satisfying.

Vardy, Braniff, and Quaresma formed a trident, and the triangular cooperation directly penetrated the Roman defense.

This is really a goal that relies on cooperation.

Zhang Yang has always been very clear that the team's ability to cooperate is limited, and most of the players' technical ability is not up to the standard. For a guy like Livermore, it is better to expect him to kick 50 meters if he is expected to cooperate with his teammates to penetrate the opponent's defense. The world outside waves.

Other players have better skills, but compared with the top teams, the gap is still obvious.

Now the team has done it.

Vardy, Braniff, and Quaresma, all three players are relatively skilled, of which Quaresma is the best, Vardy and Braniff are similar, and the three form a trident on the right. The threat is still relatively large.

"Maybe we should think about similar small-scale coordination routines in the future."

Zhang Yang thought.

In terms of small routine coordination, Millwall has just started. This is also because the team has grown too fast and has not even adapted to basic tactics. There are very few small routine coordination exercises, and the coaching staff has come up with very few routines.

Football games also need routines.

Under a fixed tactical framework, allowing players to freely combine to cooperate in a certain range of routines can greatly enhance the team's offensive ability.

These are things for the future.

In the attack just now, Vardy, Braniff, and Quaresma performed very well. Braniff dominated the offense, played a real core role, and completed the last shot.

Vardy attracted the defense and delivered a brilliant pass.

Quaresma was not greedy for credit. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he didn't shoot himself, but kicked the ball back to the middle.

This is not a coordinated routine prepared before the game, but the impromptu performance of the three of them. It is conceivable how rare it is.

"This is the future!"

"Maybe they can grow into big stars in the future!"

Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Yang feels a little overwhelmed. In his memory, Quaresma's future is not very good. As a Portuguese genius who is as famous as C-Ronaldo, he can only play tricks in the end.

Vardy became famous relatively late, and his reputation is still good, but maybe he has a better future if he becomes famous early?
braniff...

This guy with a weird personality has no reputation at all.

Zhang Yang has long understood why Braniff is not well-known. With this guy's character, he can offend all his teammates, including the head coach and assistant coaches. Conflicts within the team alone are a big problem. It is difficult to have a chance to play even if he performs well. If he does not have a chance to play, he will definitely overwhelm the crowd, and gradually fade out of professional football.

Now there is a change.

Braniff has already made a name for himself, and his future has been changed. Even if he leaves Millwall to go to another team, he will definitely get a chance. reuse.

These are changes.

Wise walked up to Zhang Yang, looked at the players celebrating on the field, and sighed to Zhang Yang, "I didn't expect Kevin and Jamie to be so good." As he sighed, he recalled two years ago when he was the head coach. Braniff was just a backup striker, and he reused Neil Harris. He felt that Braniff was not as good as the then high center forward Kevin Kiel.

Now for comparison, Braniff has become a famous star, and Kevin Keir is still playing in the lower leagues.

'If Braniff had been reused, maybe Millwall wouldn't have done so badly, would it? '

Wise thought.

Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "It's just one game and one goal. I hope they can always perform well."

It's an expectation.

One game and one goal can be said to be special. The strength of the "brain duo" is still there, and whether they can maintain their excellent performance is still uncertain.

"I found out that Jamie and Kevin are very close."

This is Zhang Yang's new discovery.

Braniff played on the left side before, and Vardy played relatively few games. The two of them were rarely on the court at the same time. Now that they are on the court together, they seem to have a tacit understanding.

Could it be because of their 'friendship' relationship?
When players have a very good relationship in private and like to stick together during training, there will definitely be some tacit understanding.

Wise nodded, "I often see them training together, and every time the squad is always together."

"That's it, let the two play together next time." Zhang Yang agreed.

"But in any case, it is acceptable to be able to retreat from the Olympic Stadium in Rome, and we finished the qualifying ahead of schedule, right? It is worth celebrating!" Wise opened his arms towards Zhang Yang.

The two laughed and hugged.

----

Wise was right.

This match against Roma was really thrilling. Mill Volvo was suppressed by Roma throughout the game, and was led by Roma for more than half time. The team was almost on the verge of losing.

But in the end Millwall drew with Roma 1-1 away, and Roma failed to score in the final time.

The process was thrilling, but the result was acceptable.

The home team Roma is a little unacceptable. They hope to beat Millwall at home to make the group situation better. They have made a lot of preparations. They didn't pay much attention to the past round of the league. The Roma fans also worked hard to create for their opponents. A 'terror away'.

The results of it?
1 to 1, the two teams eventually tied.

After the game, Roma coach Spalletti could only say dejectedly, "Now we are standing on the brink of hell, and we can't take a step back. So next, the team will concentrate on preparing for the last two games. We must Fight to win them all."

Rome's form is already quite dangerous.

At the same time as Rome's home court Millwall, Valencia and Shakhtar Donetsk also played a game. The final result was 2 to 2, and Shakhtar Donetsk finally got the first point.

This is good news for Roma, because Valencia has lost two points, but the situation is still very unfavorable to Roma. Two wins and one draw, ranking second with seven points, Roma only four points, ranking third, and finally Shakhtar Donetsk, considering the relationship between Roma and Millwall, Millwall has already secured the qualifying spot in advance , then it becomes hard to say whether he will devote 100% energy to deal with the remaining two games.

This is directly related to Roma, Millwall also has a game against Valencia.

Roma and Valencia are three points behind.

Roma still needs to compete with Shakhtar Donetsk and Valencia. The match against Shakhtar Donetsk is very easy to win. If they can beat Valencia, they still have a chance.

Valencia needs to play against Millwall and Rome. If Millwall "releases water", even if Valencia loses to Rome, it can still hold the same points as Rome.

Of course, the most important thing about the competition between the two is that Roma can beat Valencia in an away game. As long as they can beat Valencia, the initiative will be in Roma's hands. At worst, they will have the same points as Valencia and the same outcome. , and then compare the goal difference, Roma has no disadvantage.

That has nothing to do with Millwall.

Millwall qualified early after four rounds, and became the first team among the 32 teams in the Champions League to be confirmed.

Zhang Yang felt a little more relaxed.

Before the start of the season, most people were not optimistic about Millwall's European tour. History has proved that small balls will occasionally perform well in one season, and it is difficult to continue to the next season, let alone participate in the Champions League. What grades did you get.

Millwall had a similar experience.

In the 2003-2004 season, Millwall won the FA Cup runner-up in order to qualify for the UEFA Cup qualifiers. As a result, he was directly eliminated in the two rounds of the qualifiers, and he was not even able to participate in the main match.

There is a big gap between the FA Cup runner-up and the Premier League champions, but Millwall is participating in the Champions League and is facing European giants. In addition, Zhang Yang, who coaches Millwall, is also inexperienced and lacks prestige. He is too young. Lacks almost everything that makes a successful head coach.

Millwall's trip to the Champions League has been widely questioned, and there are too many question marks hanging over Zhang Yang's head.

The results of it?
Zhang Yang led the team to play four rounds in the group stage, and secured the qualifying spot in advance!

Millwall's almost aggressive attitude made Valencia and Roma in the same group helpless. Many people began to consider a possibility: "Will Millwall also become a strong contender for the Champions League?"

They need to find answers.

However, at the post-match press conference, many European media were a little disappointed. When faced with whether Millwall would compete for the Champions League, Zhang Yang said with 'trepidity', "Championship? No, that's too far away, I can't even imagine it!"

"We qualified two rounds ahead of time, and we have done a good job. This is beyond my expectation, and also beyond the expectations of the whole team. I can only say that we are lucky. The opponents don't know us well, and they made all kinds of mistakes. Mistakes, we took our chances and won a few games."

"This game against Roma made the whole team realize that it is not easy to play in the Champions League. This is a very meaningful game. It let us know how difficult it is for a strong team in the Champions League. It is an important lesson for the club. Lesson, this will help our future games, I can also imagine that Rome is so difficult to play, what about the Milan duo? Spain also has Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Germany also has Bayern Munich, even in the same league as Manchester United, Chelsea, Europe The combat experience is much richer than ours, and it will be very difficult for us to take a step forward..."

Zhang Yang finally talked about the 'goal', "Now we have started to think about the draw of the top [-]. I hope the team can meet an easy opponent in the top [-], that will let us go further..."
