Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 601 Low-key and deceitful

In the eleventh round of the Premier League, Millwall's harvest was not only unbeaten in 49 rounds, they also relied on their competitors' battles to secure the top position.

At the beginning of the season, Arsenal was Millwall's direct competitor. Although they defeated Millwall once in a direct confrontation, Arsenal's points have always been behind Millwall. Many people expect Arsenal to catch up with Millwall.

This round Arsenal met Liverpool.

The game at Anfield is definitely not easy to play, and Liverpool is no less than Arsenal's team. In my opinion, Arsenal's performance is quite good. They played the best game of the season, especially in the second half. Entering their own atmosphere, everyone believes that if the game is played for a few more minutes, it may not be a draw.

But in the end, Liverpool defended the goal.

After the game, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger didn't care about a defeat, even if the failure widened the gap with Millwall, he believed that his team had passed the first major test of the season.

Wenger is very satisfied with the game: "Compared with last season, we have changed. The young people have grown up. They are young, confident, and have strong desires. We did a very good job in the giants last season, and now Arsenal are even better. Mature."

The same is true of the media's comments after the game. Even the "Liverpool News" said, "Arsenal is completely relying on its own strength, and in the turf battle with Liverpool, it erodes the opponent's self-confidence little by little."

At the same time, "Liverpool News" also criticized, "Liverpool's combined offensives may not be as much as Cesc Fabregas alone, and Arsenal, which emphasizes overall and ground coordination, is gradually on the turf of Anfield. It's the way it was at the Chiefs, and it's going to be hard for Liverpool, who have an extreme formation."

After the game, the media basically praised Arsenal. Their performance was very good, but they encountered an extremely defensive Liverpool.

But no matter how praised, Arsenal still tied.

After the eleventh round, Millwall finally managed to secure the top spot. They had three points more than Arsenal, and three points more than Manchester United. Three points can be caught up in one game, but considering Millwall's Goal difference, regardless of Manchester United and Arsenal, may sit at the top of the list in one game.

That makes things easier for Millwall.

Before they were thinking about undefeated and league rankings, they always felt that if they made a mistake, they would lose the top position. Now there is finally a gap, even if there is a mistake, they will not be overtaken by their opponents.

The league isn't the only one.

After eleven rounds, Millwall ushered in the Champions League group stage.

This is the third round of Group C.

Millwall is waiting for work at home, facing the last opponent Lazio.

Lazio is a team with a glorious history. It was once called the "Seven Heroes of Serie A" together with AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Roma, Parma and Fiorentina. Aftertaste.

After entering the new century, Lazio after the prosperity was constantly troubled by financial problems, and its performance gradually declined. In 2002, Craniotti and his multinational company, Cirio Food Group, fell into a financial scandal, forcing him to leave Lazio. Guarded by financial manager and bank.

The financial crisis led to the buying of many of the club's best players, including captain Alessandro Nesta.

In 2004, entrepreneur Claudio Lotito bought a majority stake in the club, and two years later the team qualified for the 2006-07 UEFA Cup under coach Delio Rossi coupon.

However, the club was rejected from the European arena due to suspicion of illegal game manipulation.

In the last season, Lazio received a commutation and was able to reduce penalty points, and finally achieved the third place in Serie A and was allowed to participate in the Champions League.

Lazio defeated Dynamo Bucharest in the qualifying round and successfully advanced to the group stage.

As the third-tier team in Group C, Lazio is not favored, because there are Real Madrid and Millwall in the same group, and Lazio is much weaker. It is even said that, in the eyes of most people, they are not as good as Olympiacos-- The latter is the overlord of the Greek league and has rich experience in European competitions. Lazio has not performed well in recent years. Many big names in the team have left and newcomers have joined the team, but many players have no European competition experience.

So far this season, Lazio's league results are not ideal.

In the first two rounds of the UEFA Champions League Group C, their results were passable - they drew with Olympiacos and Real Madrid respectively.

Two draws, only two points.

Considering that Millwall won two games and took the first place in the group with six points, Lazio's performance is not bad, and two points are enough to rank second. Real Madrid and Olympiacos only drew one game. The bottom two ranked with one point.

This is not Lazio's performance, but Millwall's performance.

Millwall still attaches great importance to Lazio. Even if the outside world says that Lazio cannot pose a threat, it is definitely not easy to deal with a team that has achieved good results in Serie A.

Before the game, Zhang Yang told the team to play seriously and not to be careless. "Lazio is a very strange team. We met Roma last season. Everyone who has experienced it should have experience. Roma is very difficult to play."

"We have to take the game seriously, Lazio are by no means a weak team."

On the day of the game, Zhang Yang once again reminded the players to be careful and play the game seriously, because the result of "spiritual divination" is not very good, and luck is "little evil".

Fierce, but don't worry.

Little fierce, you need to pay special attention.

Zhang Yang changed his lineup continuously, and the result of divination was still "little evil", and sometimes there would be "big evil", so there was no good way to deal with such a situation. Luck is not something that can be drastically reversed by replacing two people.

In terms of arranging tactics, Zhang Yang also focuses on stability. It doesn't matter if the offense is weaker, and try not to lose the ball inexplicably.

Under the bad luck of the "little fierce", losing the ball is very likely to happen.

Although he attached great importance to the game, after the game started, Zhang Yang still felt very worried. One was that Lazio performed well and they played very positively overall. The other was that the team was unlucky. In the first 10 minutes, there were two excellent performances. Opportunities were inexplicably missed.

Once it was a one-handed goal by Luca Toni.

It's normal to not score in a normal single-handed goal. After all, the opponent's goalkeeper is not a decoration, but this time, Balotta's position is not good. Luca Toni can push the ball to one side, but the ball rubs against the post. Fly off the bottom line.

"call……"

Regretful sighs sounded from Neal Field.

The second time was Livermore's shot. Lazio probably had no preparations for Livermore. Livermore easily got the opportunity, and a heavy artillery bombarded the right side of the goal. As a result, the football hit the post and bounced out.

"Huh..." sighed again.

Lazio was terrified, but Millwall still failed to score.

Both Luca Tony and Livermore felt that it was their own fault, and they both felt a little annoyed, but Zhang Yang directly attributed the reason to luck.

"Luck...too bad!"

Zhang Yang shook his head.

Overall in the game, Millwall can still suppress Lazio. The performance of the players cannot be said to be very good, but it is not too bad. The advantages of comprehensive strength allow the team to play a good rhythm and have more ball possession. The ability to control the midfield is also stronger than the opponent.

But more attacks did not bring goals.

In the 309th minute of the game, Lazio defender Stendaldo handballed in the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty.

Zhang Yang immediately protested the pressure test to the fourth official.

But it didn't work.

In the following time, Lazio played better and better, and their good state even continued into the second half.

Millwall can't be said to be passive, but his kicks back and forth were a bit messy.

Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines, constantly yelling, reminding the players what to do, but being out of shape means being out of shape. When a team has two or three players who are not in good shape, the overall performance will be greatly affected.

Millwall started to make substitutions.

Vardy comes on.

Morris enters.

Even the back line, let the teenager Barragan play.

Three consecutive substitutions did not have much effect. Millwall and Lazio were in a see-saw situation. Both sides had a chance, but due to conservative tactics, no one could break the opponent's goal.

In the 79th minute of the game, Zhang Yang gave up the "spirit of fair play" and used "follow the words" to help the team score.

As a result, it failed.

Even if he is as nimble as Vardy, there is nothing he can do if he is unlucky. He found a good position and played a very wonderful ball, but the football still hit the crossbar.

"I X!"

Seeing another crossbar ball, Zhang Yang uttered a standard national curse.

The final game was 0-0.

Millwall shook hands with Lazio at home.

For this result, Lazio is acceptable. At the post-match press conference, Delio Rossi said, "We played a very dangerous game, but the result is satisfactory. Not conceding a goal is the greatest luck. "

Lazio have drawn the first two games, and the draw against Millwall is actually not a good situation. The winner of Real Madrid and Olympiacos will surpass them in points, but considering the scores of Real Madrid, Olympiacos and Millwall , Delio Rossi believes that the away game can be tied, which is quite a good result.

Zhang Yang just smiled wryly.

Fortunately, he was prepared in his heart. "Ling Ling Divination" gave a hint of luck. It is not bad to not lose. For Millwall, it is completely acceptable to still sit first in the group even if it is a draw.

Zhang Yang praised Lazio's tenacity, "Our luck is not very good, and the opponent's performance is not bad."

"Everyone was saying Lazio couldn't play against Millwall, but I saw a tough opponent in the game, they had to work hard, and it was difficult for us."

"There are no good opponents in the Champions League. Every game must be dealt with with all our strength. For us, it is a challenge to guarantee qualifying in the group stage."

"Although we are number one in the group, there are still three games left. Anything can happen. We must face it with the most serious attitude, otherwise we may be eliminated..."

A group of reporters were dumbfounded by Zhang Yang's statement.

Millwall out?
What a joke!
In the three games, Millwall won two games, but it was just bad luck, and they drew with Lazio, so it became "possible elimination"?

Is this low-key or deceitful?
Take us for fools!
