Chapter 633
Since the end of the World Club Cup, Vardy's physical condition has not been very good. He played consecutive games for the team, coupled with the problem of jet lag, he was not in good shape during training.

In Chodrick's assessment, Vardy is highly likely to be injured, not to mention his performance in the competition.

Zhang Yang can only let Vardy rest.

In the games around Christmas, Suarez performed well, scoring two goals.

This also puts pressure on Vardy.

Playing for more than two seasons in Millwall, Vardy grew up very fast. At the beginning, he played as a substitute for Darren Bent. At that time, Vardy was still a rookie. Darren Bent was unthinkable for him. Big players who dare to think.

Last summer, Darren Bent left to join Tottenham Hotspur, and Vardy became the absolute main force. Even the arrival of Luca Toni could not shake his position as the leading shooter.

During this process, Vardy is also very clear about one thing: the whole team, only the head coach Zhang Yang is the most important, others are not important, they are all dispensable, including himself, even if he is already in charge As a shooter, both the league and the Champions League occupy the top scorer list, but wasn't that the case last season?

The player who dominated both lists at the time was Darren Bent. Darren Bent also gained great prestige and was considered the top scorer in the world. Then what?Darren Bent's transfer and departure, it is difficult to hear news from the media, even if he performs well and is Tottenham's leading striker... so what?
The same goes for Millwall now.

Vardy is a leading shooter, but he doesn't think he is good, but feels a lot of competitive pressure. He knows one thing: if he leaves Millwall, he will not be different from Darren Bent. What will happen, because Suarez grows up enough to take his place.

This is also the pressure on Vardy.

When he was able to play for the team, Vardy couldn't wait to play. He needed a good performance to maintain his position.

After finally helping to score a goal, Vardy was still quite excited, and he took a long breath in his heart. He was very worried that his performance was not good, and he was slowly replaced by other teammates.

The competitive pressure in the team is still very high.

----

After Vardy scored a goal, Millwall continued to suppress Liverpool's offense, but Liverpool's defense was good, and the backcourt was also very tight, so Millwall couldn't find a chance for a long time.

The game was really exciting.

Liverpool is not only defensive, but occasionally can play a beautiful counterattack, posing a threat to Millwall's defense.

From this point of view, we can see the difference between big clubs and small clubs. It is very difficult for those small clubs that have been suppressed by Millwall to form a defensive formation and then rely on counterattacks to threaten Millwall. But Liverpool focused on defense, advancing and counterattacking can still create threats.

Among them, Gerrard contributed the most.

Gerrard is the core of the lineup, the captain on the field, and the spiritual leader of Liverpool. He has outstanding skills at his feet and is extremely strong. The most commendable thing is that he has a spirit of never giving up. Going all out to run and fight hard, Liverpool often play reversal games, which is also inseparable from Gerrard's fighting spirit and dedication.

A player like Gerrard is what every coach hopes to have.

Looking at Gerrard's performance on the field, Zhang Yang couldn't help being tempted. He hoped that there would be such a player in the team, but it doesn't matter if he thinks about it carefully. The team has Morris, Braniff, and young Sneijder, Sneijder will be the core of the future, and Braniff can still play for many years. Adding a core midfielder will not be easy to arrange.

Gerrard not only plays a big role in offense, but also plays a greater role in defense. He runs constantly, reminds his teammates to stand and defend, organizes the defensive formation in the backcourt, and makes Liverpool's defense more stable.

Millwall failed to find another chance in the first half.

After the start of the second half, Zhang Yang couldn't bear it anymore, and found a chance to help the team take the lead.

This time it was a cross from Pires. Sneijder followed up and hit the penalty area line with a 'drift shot'. With the blessing of Fasui', the situation is different.

While waving his foot to shoot, Sneijder felt that he was in a very good state. He glanced at the goal out of the corner of his eye and stuck his foot straight behind the ball. The football passed through the Liverpool defender in front of him and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal. go.

Reina tried his best to save, but in the end he still missed the ball.

"GOOOAL!!"

"Sneijder! The Dutch star used a strong shot to help Millwall lead Liverpool!"

Seeing Sneijder complete the goal, the others rushed out frantically, but Zhang Yang returned to his position, taking a long breath and not being too worried about the game.

In such an advantageous situation, he can't win by leading the score, and he really has nothing to do.

----

Liverpool began to worry.

Even if it is an away game, they don't want to lose to Millwall. It is best to win it, but they fell behind at the beginning of the second half. The situation is not very good. They have been adopting a passive strategy, but the effect has not been reflected.

Now how to do?
Liverpool is also thinking about this issue in their constant defense.

on the coach's bench.

Benitez is also thinking, the game on the field makes him feel helpless, Millwall's offensive is too strong, with Vardy in the striker and Sneijder in the midfield, the two work together to make the attack very technical, In addition, their defense is also very stable. Liverpool occasionally has the opportunity to counterattack, and it is difficult to play a substantial threat.

The biggest headache for Benitez is that the efficiency of the Millwall players is too high. They seem to be able to score the ball when they find an opportunity. Just now there were two players in front of Sneijder, plus goalkeeper Reina. For the three players to be able to score the ball, the Dutchman's condition is too good.

"This is the Millwall who the media said is not in good condition?" Benitez smiled bitterly in his heart, complaining that the media is too unreliable, but there is no good way to deal with the situation on the field.

Liverpool made a pretty good start, scoring a goal at the beginning, and then defending patiently is already the best way to deal with it.

Now that Millwall has overtaken the score, what else can be done?

Do you want the team to attack?

As soon as this idea came to mind, Benitez gave up. Liverpool is not a team that is good at attacking. Even with the Spanish golden boy Torres, the efficiency gap with Millwall is very large. It is not good to attack. Realistically, perhaps the only thing that can be done is to invest more in offense.

To attack, to sacrifice defense.

When Liverpool stepped up their offensive slightly, Millwall quickly took advantage of the threat to the penalty area to create a chance. Sneijder was on the outside of the penalty area, trying to shake off the defender, and was knocked down by the opposing defender. Sneijder stood up and stretched He slapped his arm twice, and jumped a few times on the spot, and found that there was no problem, and Millwall made a normal free throw.

Sneijder was also responsible for the free throw this time.

The football is about 25 meters away from the goal, and the distance is still a bit far. Seeing that it was Sneijder's free throw, many players subconsciously felt that Millwall was going to play a wave of cooperation. Millwall is the most impressive free thrower. , is undoubtedly Simpson, who is considered to be the successor of Beckham in the England team.

Other Millwall players also made moves, but Sneijder chose to shoot directly.

He hits a high arc.

The football flew to the highest point and spun straight to the far corner. Reina made a judgment, but when he jumped up, he found that his hands could not reach the ball. In surprise, he could only watch the football fall into the goal.

3 is better than 1!

Millwall extends their lead!
The Millwall fans cheered for the goal, and the cheers were also mixed with shouts of the name of 'Sneijder'. So far, Sneijder is the best player in the game. He scored two goals. Goals dominated the entire second half.

Sneijder is also very happy.

In the Millwall team, the pressure of competition is very high. There are Morris in the midfield, Braniff, and players such as Livermore and Ljungberg. Until now, he dare not say that he has the main position, because many In the game, the rotation method is used to play, especially in the big game, the head coach is more willing to trust Morris, Braniff and other players.

Sneijder can also understand that the performance of his teammates is indeed outstanding, but he also hopes that his performance will become better and his position in the team will be more stable.

Now being able to score two goals in a row has really helped him a lot.

This game is still very critical!
After the game, when the media reported that 'Millwall broke the historical unbeaten record', his name would definitely be mentioned. Thinking of this, Sneijder became even more excited.
