Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 608 Mental Patient's Way of Thinking
Millwall scored five Lazio goals in just half-time.

Thunderbolt!
Lazio suffered a huge blow.

The Lazio fans didn't even have the strength to utter a 'boo' sound. They all stared blankly at the field, as if confirming that what they saw was a real scene, not a fictitious one made by the devil.

The past half has been a nightmare.

In front of Millwall, Lazio's defense seemed to be undefended. Goalkeeper Ballotta blocked left and right, and Millwall scored five goals, but no fans blamed Ballotta. Ballotta performed well enough. , Also saved a few good goals, the opponent's shots were too many.

"British BBC" gave a set of data, and Lineker read it out, "Millwall showed super offensive ability in the first half. Their possession rate was 60.00%. They did not completely suppress Lazio, but They had 3 shots on goal, an average of one shot in less than three minutes, and a very high rate of five goals, with an average of three more than one goal."

"Forward Vardy contributed two goals, the others were Maurice, Luca Toni and full-back Zambrotta."

"Lazio's goals were completely funneled..."

"Millwall's performance is too good to describe. If you only look at the past half, this powerful Millwall team can definitely sweep the European arena."

on the field.

The Lazio players were all dazed. They never expected that they would experience such a terrible half-time and be easily poured into five goals by their opponents.

Before the game, they thought the team could win.

With the support of the fans, the momentum of the media, and the confidence of the head coach Rossi, even if some players think that Millwall is difficult to deal with, they are quickly buried in the saying that "playing well can win".

Lazio agrees with this statement, and it also makes the whole team full of fighting spirit.

Now the fighting spirit is gone.

Conceded five goals in the half, how can we expect to tie?

Also scored five in the second half?

The history of the Champions League... No, in the entire history of world football, I really don't know if there is a precedent for conceding five goals to equalize. The situation that arises.

Anyway, Lazio players see no hope.

Every player walked back to the locker room with bewilderment and despair. The head coach Rossi knew what he should do, but what he knew more clearly was that the game must be lost, and the difference was only a few goals.

what is the reason?
Rossi had a clear answer in his heart: Lazio did not face up to the opponent.

Including himself.

Lazio's group situation is pretty good, better than expected before the season. When they see the opportunity to qualify, and they draw with Millwall in the away game, they will naturally want to beat Millwall at home to seize the initiative to qualify for the group.

But Millwall is not easy to deal with!
The draw with Millwall in the last game was more due to the good luck of the team than the real strength advantage, and the opponent may be because they don’t know Lazio well and their style of play is also very conservative, otherwise Lazio is more likely to lose. Big.

Rossi knew he was one of those who "didn't look at their opponents squarely".

He won't admit it.

The responsibility for the big loss falls on him, which will damage the authority of the head coach and make the players distrust him.

So what to do now?
Less conceded balls!

"The team must perform well!" Rossi thought.

If you didn't play well at halftime and let Millwall seize the opportunity, you still have something to say after the game. If you didn't play well at the whole game, it would be difficult to explain to the fans.

Rossi knew that he had to improve the fighting spirit of the players, otherwise the game would not have to continue, and Lazio would collapse internally.

Back in the dressing room, Rossi looked at everyone and said emphatically, "We have to get back together! We are Lazio, the great Lazio. I know we conceded too many goals in the first half, but the gap between us was not that big. !"

"How is it possible? Even if we meet Inter Milan or AC Milan, we will not necessarily lose. Millwall is very strong, but not strong enough to surpass the giants!"

"Anything can happen in a football game. They seized the opportunity and played a tailwind. We were panicked by the goal and didn't defend well. That's why we fell behind by a big score."

"We have to sum up our experience and continue to work hard in the second half!"

"It is true that we have no chance. It is impossible to recover five goals at halftime, but the next thing is a battle of face. There are tens of thousands of fans in the stadium. You don't want to disappoint the fans who unconditionally supported you?"

"..."

Rossi kept encouraging the players. When talking about the second half of play, he wanted everyone to play calmly and not rush to attack Millwall.

This is actually emphasizing defense.

The Lazio players understand it. They are [-] unwilling, and they are already five goals behind. What's the point of emphasizing defense?
Lose less?

In the current situation, the score must not be able to catch up, but they are still unwilling to accept it. Even if there is a slight chance, they should work hard to fight for it.

The Lazio players are very depressed. One is the depression of the score, and the other is that they have to strengthen the defense when they are behind by a large score. They are not satisfied with Rossi's statement.

But they still did it, but they vented their anger in the game.

Obviously, Lazio's actions have become bigger.

foul!

foul!

Lazio fouls frequently!

Under the opponent's continuous fouls, Millwall's offense became unsmooth, because the referee would suspend the game after a short time.

There is a player who has an opportunity to perform, and that is Josh Simpson.

The Lazio players were venting their depression. They didn't care where they fouled, that is, they only paid a little attention in the penalty area. As a result, Millwall was at the front of the penalty area and got consecutive free kicks.

Simpson made two consecutive free throws and scored two.

The first one was 24 meters away from the goal. The position was almost perfect. Simpson kicked the ball to the left of the goal.

The second ball was even better.

22 meters away from the goal, it was an excellent position for Simpson. He kicked without hesitation. The football drew an arc and went around the wall into the upper left corner. Balotta didn't even have a chance to react.

Two free kicks make two goals!

0 is better than 7!

Millwall lead Lazio with seven away goals.

After Simpson made the second free throw, almost everyone was talking about him --
"Josh Simpson, he is the new Beckham of the Premier League!"

"It should be said that he is England's new Beckham! He has already applied for British citizenship, and the only thing waiting is the England team call!"

"It is said that the Scottish, Welsh and Irish national teams are all very interested in Simpson. They hope to invite Simpson to join their national team through some relationships."

"Simpson has become the hottest star in England!"

"Two consecutive free kicks and two consecutive goals are enough to prove Simpson's ability. His set-pieces are the opponent's nightmare!"

"Lazio's constant fouls gave Simpson a chance to perform!"

"Simpson is Millwall's leading free-throw shooter. Even Braniff, Morris, and Sneijder cannot challenge his status..."

"..."

When Millwall celebrated the goal, Zhang Yang was ready to make a substitution.

Lazio's actions are getting bigger and bigger, which may cause injuries. The game must have been won, and it was won by a big score, so there is no need to take risks.

Zhang Yang wants to replace the "most attractive" player. One is Braniff. Braniff is good at breaking through and easily arouses hostility from the opponent.

Plus, Morris too.

As the captain of Millwall, he has received no less care than Braniff. As long as he is in the frontcourt, he will become a key target of marking.

Then there's Vardy.

Vardy didn't touch the ball much, but considering the name of the striker and the two goals he scored, the Lazio players were not very friendly.

Zhang Yang made substitutions in turn.

Braniff first, with Sneijder on top.

Then Morris, Ljungberg played.

also……

Zhang Yang was about to make a third substitution. After Livermore made a steal, he suddenly launched an offensive. Sneijder, who had just played, made a long pass to find Vardy.Vardy ran fast, his speed reached the limit. He only changed direction to accelerate, and he swayed Kribali in front of him, and then pressed the penalty area line and shot directly.

The next moment, the football flew into the goal again.

0 is better than 8!

Millwall lead by eight goals!

"Substitution!" Zhang Yang shouted with a wry smile, taking advantage of the timeout after the goal, he quickly replaced Vardy.

Vardy has gained enough.

Three balls!
hat trick!

There are many matches in the UEFA Champions League, but in official matches other than qualifiers, there are very few hat-tricks in a single season.

Vardy completed a hat-trick. In the four rounds of the Champions League group stage, he scored seven goals, creating an absolute advantage in the scorer list.

While Zhang Yang was satisfied, he hurriedly replaced Vardy.

Vardy is so cute!
As the team's leading shooter, his importance is beyond doubt. If he is brought down and injured by an opposing player during garbage time, the loss will be too great.

When Vardy came off the field, he waved his arms to the surrounding stands.

The meaning seems to be to let the players send him off.

It's a pity that what he got was a lot of boos, but no Lazio fans would applaud the opponent's player who completed a hat-trick.

Vardy didn't take it seriously, and joked with Braniff, "Kevin, did you hear that? This is the cheers for me. Maybe some of the female fans will fall in love with me."

Everyone else on the bench was amazed by Vardy's sharp turn of the topic.

Braniff continued, "I broke up with my girlfriend, and they are looking for me. But I won't agree, I don't talk about feelings with female fans."

"You have a new girlfriend?" Vardy was quite surprised.

Braniff glanced left and right, pulled Vardy and whispered, "Don't tell others that our relationship is still unstable..."

Then the two chatted about private-secret topics.

During the whole process, Suarez, Arbeloa, Mario and others were all at a loss, unable to figure out how the conversation between the two could be like this.

The key is……

What did Braniff say to let Vardy know that he has a new girlfriend?

It's a mystery.

Zhang Yang sighed beside him, "As an ordinary person, I really can't understand the logical way of thinking of mental patients."
