Chapter 519 The Best Parting Gift

Mourinho's doubts are not new topics.

Since last season, the media has been reporting on Millwall’s performance, and various football professionals have also been analyzing Millwall’s tactics, and finally came to the conclusion that Millwall’s tactical play is tailored according to the player’s ability level Made to order.

This topic has always been very hot, and many people have participated in the discussion. Millwall's performance this season is indeed very good, which seems to verify the statement of "creating tactics according to the player's ability level".

But Zhang Yang never said anything about it, and the discussions in the media were just speculation.

Millwall's performance is indeed very good, and every player's performance on the field is also good, but there are still some players who can't find their form, and there will also be situations where players run around and don't know how to play the game. Moore is one of them.

Many football coaches have their own views on Millwall's tactics.

Mourinho is "dubly suspicious" of the outside world's statement. He believes that it is because Millwall performed well and most players can be in a good state on the field. The "doubt" is because the tactics are built according to the player's ability, let alone whether they can. If it is done, how should the player's ability be evaluated?

You can't follow the data of football games!
Reality is not a game.

It is difficult to explain the ability of each player with data. It is good to have exact data such as body and weight. Dribbling, technique, habits, etc. cannot be accurately explained with data, just like using data to explain "What the human brain is thinking about" is an impossible task, because the human brain is too complex and can think about too many things, and it is impossible to express it with data.

In the absence of exact data representation, it is simply impossible to make tactical arrangements based on the strength of the players.

Of course, it still makes sense to use the outstanding ability of players as a reference for formulating tactics. For example, Livermore has excellent long-range shooting ability, so when formulating tactics, consider giving him more peripheral opportunities.

These are also the most basic.

Chelsea will also consider similar factors when formulating tactics, instead of copying the established tactics completely regardless of the player's ability.

Mourinho has a very firm character. Once he has a view on something, it is difficult to change it. He will always stick to his view. This may also be the quality of most outstanding coaches. Now seeing the game on the field, Mourinho's thoughts were shaken because Millwall's players in every position performed too well.

There are eleven players in the audience, and everyone is in very good condition.

Millwall does not rely on tactics, does not rely on the ability of the players, it is all about playing well, relying on on-the-spot performance to suppress Chelsea, relying on on-the-spot performance to turn passive into active tactics, frequently threatening Chelsea's goals, and Chelsea was suppressed and had to continue to shrink line of defense.

The game in front of me is too surprising!
Mourinho has been staring at the game frowning, he really can't figure out why Millwall played so well.

On the other side, Zhang Yang was smiling.

Millwall relied on on-the-spot performance to gain an advantage in the situation, and this performance is really satisfying.

In fact, Zhang Yang was a little surprised that the team performed well, and then he was pleasantly surprised. Millwall's tactics were indeed built according to the players' abilities, but the players performed better than their opponents on the court, and it would not be much better.

To illustrate with numbers, for example, the limit of performance status is 100, ordinary players can only hit 80, better ones can reach 90, and worse ones are only 60 or 70. On average, a team is also in the range of 70 to 80 , relying on tactics, Millwall can increase the overall performance value to the range of 80 to 90, which is better than other teams, but there will be no absolute gap.

It's different now.

Millwall is a young team. There are a few veteran players on the field, but the other players are still very young, mostly in their early twenties. Millwall has always been good at playing with the wind.

If the game goes well, you will naturally be able to play better.

After the previous time, every player has devoted himself to the game, and the overall performance has also risen to a higher level, thus suppressing Chelsea with a better performance.

Zhang Yang felt very relieved.

This is related to the final of the Champions League trophy. Any coach is happy to see that the team performs well in such a game. Football tactics, planning, preparations, etc. are just incidental things. To achieve the goal of winning, the most direct The best way is for the team to perform well in the game.

Now the team has done it.

However, the short-term performance is good, and nothing can be decided yet. Zhang Yang hopes to see goals, and only goals can determine the final outcome.

----

The state of the players on the Millwall field is indeed very good.

On the striker, Darren Bent carried Terry hard, plus a Boulah Luz, and they were very active; Pires and Morris on the wing cooperated very skillfully, and the occasional breakthrough could also give strong support to the striker; Quaresma on the side doesn't seem to be in good shape, or Millwall's main attack is on the left. He has few opportunities to perform and is still in the process of slowly finding his state.

Millwall's right is not without threats, because Smicer, who is on the right side, is in very good condition.

As the oldest player on the field, Smicer is already 34 years old. He is about to retire at such an age. It is hard to imagine what kind of performance he can perform in the Champions League final.

Smicer was indeed very active. He was active in running and fighting, organized the offense very well, and occasionally made quite threatening passes.

In the entire Millwall team, Smicer is one of the few players who can maintain a stable mentality.

Liverpool's Champions League results have always been very good. Smicer has participated in many Champions League matches with the team and experienced the most classic "Istanbul Night" in the history of the Champions League. When facing the Champions League final, he was not so excited.

However, Smicer did not participate in the game normally, because before the game started, he made a major decision-leave the Premier League and return to the Czech Republic.

Smicer signed a two-year contract with the club, and his contract will expire after the end of the season.

Smicer’s performance has been very stable, and the Millwall club is also considering keeping him and continuing to play for another game. Due to age and physical fitness, Smicer can only play as a substitute, and the number of appearances will definitely be reduced a lot. The club also considered allowing Smicer to 'reduce his salary and stay on the team'.

Smicer's salary reduction is not high, only a 30.00% reduction, and he can still get a weekly salary of more than 30 pounds. It is quite rare for a veteran who has passed the age of [-] to get this salary.

Smicer is also very satisfied with the contract extension. Before that, he considered staying, but seeing Millwall entered the Champions League final, coupled with the sincere invitation from the domestic club Slavs Prague, he suddenly changed his mind. .

Millwall’s two-year experience is something that Smicer cannot forget. Compared with the somewhat dull Liverpool, the atmosphere in Millwall’s team is very good, and Smicer has also received great attention here. He only needs to maintain a stable state to have enough playing time.

Smicer has also followed the team to create miracles repeatedly, winning the league championship, the FA Cup, and the League Cup. He will also usher in the Champions League final soon, and may be able to reach the top of Europe and truly become the European champion.

What about after winning the Champions League?
Smicer thinks that leaving is the best choice, because his state is declining very quickly, and it will be difficult to play a few more games next season. Instead of staying in the team, waiting for his ability to not keep up, he has to retire. Given the situation, it is better to choose to leave directly and go to the Czech Republic to find opportunities.

Smicer feels that he can still play for three years, but he will definitely not be able to keep up with the top level in Europe in the future.

Leaving early is the best option.

When Liverpool won the Champions League, he couldn't get a good contract extension and had to leave to find a way out. Now that Millwall has entered the Champions League final, he has a good contract extension, but considering the next few years, he decided to choose leave.

Smicer thought it was funny.

But in any case, as a former Czech "troika" and a well-known star in the Czech Republic, Smicer believes that the best gift for leaving is a Champions League trophy.

This time Smicer received the pass on the edge of the box.

Millwall used the continuous cooperation of the midfield to tear open the defense line at the front of Chelsea's penalty area. Smicer took the initiative to move.

Many players are already able to kick and shoot in this position.

It's very dangerous here.

Chelsea fans also began to worry, and Millwall supporters chanted excitedly.

At the same time, both Bent and Morris rushed into the penalty area. It seemed that in an instant, several players made use of forward moves to quickly break through Chelsea's defense.

Because there is Lampard next to him, it is very difficult to complete the shot. Smicer has no choice but to shoot directly. He took a step forward, as if to test Lampard's defense.

Lampard immediately stood in front of him.

Smicer stopped the ball, then glanced left and right, but knocked the ball with his heel to Quaresma behind him.

Instead of stopping the ball, Quaresma pushed it forward.

Because of being blocked by Smicer's body, Lampard failed to pass the ball behind him immediately, and Quaresma's movement was also blocked. By the time he realized that Quaresma was passing the ball forward, it was too late up.

The football rolls forward over Lampard.

At the same time, Smicer also rushed forward, crossing Lampard and chasing forward. His speed is not fast, but every step of running can make Chelsea fans panic, because it means that the distance from the goal is getting closer. .

"Let's see this ball!"

"Smichel rushed into the box!"

Lampard hurriedly chased back, but his reaction was slowed down, and his turning speed was also slowed down. Seeing that Smicer was about to catch the ball, Terry did not give up defending Bent, and turned to Smicer. I'm going to defend you.

In the narrow area of ​​​​the penalty area, it is difficult to make any moves. As long as a delay of one second is enough for Chelsea to complete the defensive blockade.When Smicer caught up with the ball, he found that Terry was deliberately blocking the shot, so he did not hesitate to pass the ball across.

The football flies past Terry.

"Bent! Bent!"

The moment Smicer completed the pass, the audience's voices had already erupted.

This is a great opportunity!
Many Millwall fans have already held their breath, fearing that the sound they make will interfere with Bent's shot on the field.

Chelsea fans did the same. They were eager to affect Millwall's performance, but they subconsciously stopped breathing because of the nervousness at that moment, waiting for the final scene.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech stood very cautiously, and he didn't have time to rush out.

Smicer's pass was too sudden!
Petr Cech thought that Smicer would shoot directly. Even if there was a defender blocking that position, he still had a chance to complete the shot. He was not as calm as the opponent, and he could still see Bent's position.

The only thing he can do now is prepare to save.

Bent didn't give Cech any chance to adjust. He faced the ball while running and swung his right foot without hesitation.

"Oh!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the football rushed up from the grass, like a bolt of lightning, and crossed a distance of nearly ten meters in an instant, appearing in front of goalkeeper Petr Cech. When football was already one step ahead--
Fly into the goal!

The ball is in!
The volcano at the Olympic Stadium in Athens erupted violently instantly!
