Chapter 660 (The Finale)

At the end of the first half, Braniff assisted Millwall and scored the second goal.

2:0.

This goal made Manchester United fans extremely depressed. They expected that the Champions League would be different from the league. Manchester United could beat Millwall to win the Champions League in the crucial final, but there seemed to be no difference in the game on the field. It was still Millwall who could still score late in the first half.

Do Manchester United still have a chance?
Many fans have the answer in their hearts. They can't help but think of Manchester United's achievements in the past few seasons, Millwall's strength in the past three seasons, and their city rivals Manchester City, who are preparing to wave their checks to replenish their strength.

"Will the competition be more intense in the future?"

"In this fierce competition, is Ferguson... really okay?" Some fans began to question Ferguson. Time, five years, no league championship, no Champions League, Chelsea and Millwall have risen one after another in the league, and the competition in the future will be more intense. Ferguson is a meritorious coach of Manchester United, but he is getting old after all.

Is he... really okay?

Many Manchester United fans looked at the Manchester United coaching bench, Ferguson was sitting there, not moving, they were immediately disappointed.

On the field.

Braniff embraced Vardy excitedly, and then remembered Maxi who had assisted him. He shook hands with Maxi reluctantly. He seemed to dislike being a bit dirty, and wiped his body again and again. Maxi There was an urge to vomit blood, and he was a little suspicious of Braniff's orientation.

Although it is said that Vardy has a girlfriend, it does not prevent Braniff from having impulsive thoughts!

Maybe……

Maxi felt that Vardy should be reminded to be careful, otherwise it would be bad for the straight man to be bent.

But Braniff doesn't seem to be very "virtuous". He also hugged Morris and Livermore, which made Maxi a little confused, "Maurice, David, they are not cleaner than me, right?" ?”

Looking at Livermore's big body and sweaty body, Maxi couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be a cleanliness in the heart? Hugs are also picky? Whoever has a good relationship with him can hug whoever..."

Maxi thought deeply.

Millwall celebrated for a while, and the game restarted. Because there was not much time left, the two sides exchanged two offensives, and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Millwall led by two goals, and the whole team celebrated very much. When they arrived in the dressing room, many players talked about winning the championship and receiving awards.

This scene made Zhang Yang very vigilant.

In the Champions League final of the 2004-2005 season, AC Milan celebrated at halftime, thinking that it would be no problem to lead by three goals, and then Liverpool scored three goals in 6 minutes.

That was because Liverpool played well temporarily, and it must be that AC Milan was too careless.

Zhang Yang didn't want to see the team being overthrown by Manchester United and became the green leaf for Manchester United to create miracles and win the championship. He immediately warned seriously, "You should remember what happened in 2005, when the Champions League final was overthrown by Liverpool. History, It can give people experience, lessons. I don't want us to be the first AC Milan."

"So, forget about being ahead! Also forget how many times we've won, that doesn't mean anything to the game. You have to remember that Manchester United are one of the best teams in the world and for them, two goals It’s nothing. We have to show our best and perform better and better to beat them and win.”

"It's not time to relax until the game is over!"

"..."

Zhang Yang said a lot to the players, mostly telling them to calm down, don't think about the championship, and put themselves into the game seriously.

This statement has limited effect, because Millwall has already led by two goals, and it is impossible for the players to ignore it.

But Zhang Yang was not too worried. There were many factors behind Liverpool's comeback, not just AC Milan's carelessness, but also AC Milan's internal problems. The head coach Ancelotti could no longer fully control the team, and there were many conflicts in the locker room. For example, Shevchenko has enough prestige to challenge Ancelotti's majesty. Even Kaka doesn't have much say in front of Shevchenko.

Millwall is different.

Zhang Yang's majesty is much stronger than Ancelotti's. He has absolute control over the locker room. No player can challenge his majesty, and every player will seriously implement his instructions.

In addition, the ability of 'prediction' can also give early warning of accidents. Manchester United can really play well, and he will also predict goals in advance.

Up to now, 'Speak out with' has not been used.

and many more.

The above are all cards in Zhang Yang's hands. He can do much more than Ancelotti.

Therefore, if Manchester United wants to make a comeback, it is basically hopeless.

----

The half-time interval was enough for Manchester United to re-boost morale.

After the opening of the second half, they also played with more rules. Skoll and Carliss continued to intersperse the organization, and C-Ronaldo on the wing became the most active player. At the same time, Manchester United's strikers also frequently received passes. The goal was in jeopardy for a while.

Manchester United's performance was not unexpected.

Zhang Yang sat in his seat, but he was very calm. Manchester United's strength was already very good. Now it can be said that it has reached a peak. If the memory of the previous life is not wrong, Manchester United will win the league and the Champions League this season. reached a peak.

Unfortunately, there is now Millwall.

Manchester United can only be ranked No.2, but it does not affect their overall strength. When they really play well, they are enough to pose a threat to Millwall, but it is only a threat, because the "prediction" did not predict the progress. On the ball, Zhang Yang has a clear understanding of himself. In terms of overall control of the game, he can't keep up with other top coaches, but in terms of short-term control, a "prediction" can outshine others. inside.

With 'prediction', there is short-term 'control'.

When he noticed that the accident would happen, Zhang Yang made adjustments immediately. He asked Livermore to help defend the left side, "Don't let C-Ronaldo kick the goal!" He predicted that C-Ronaldo would kick the ball outside Scored the goal.

This has to be organized.

Now telling the players to do a good job of defense can also have some impact on "accidents", but it is a bit hard to say what the impact will be.

The impact this time is not too good, but the result is still acceptable.

The way Livermore stopped C-Ronaldo was a direct foul on the periphery. Livermore got a yellow card for this, and Manchester United got a free kick in an ordinary position. Taking advantage of the free kick, Manchester United played a good match, but in the end the football was still praised. Brotta made a successful clearance.

Zhang Yang let out a long breath.

It is still very worthwhile to be able to resolve the scoring crisis with a yellow card. If Manchester United still completes the goal, there is no good way.

At the 67th minute of the game, Zhang Yang saw the stalemate for a long time, so he couldn't help but make a move.

This time it was a low shot from Braniff.

In the vision of "prediction", Braniff's shot flew out of the goal by brushing the bottom line, but with the effect of "words follow", the quality of Braniff's shot was greatly improved immediately.

Have power!
Angled!
The result of the shot was to roll into the goal against the post.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar made a save, but the angle of the football was too tricky for him to save the ball.

"Braniff!"

"It's Braniff again! A cold shot from the outside of the penalty area! Straight into the dead corner! Beautiful!"

"3 to 0!"

"From the beginning of the game to now, we can see that Manchester United as a whole has no disadvantages, but the efficiency gap between the two teams is too large. Millwall scored three goals with the same opportunity, and Manchester United also had the same opportunity. , they didn't even score a single goal..."

When the score became three to zero, even the Manchester United players on the field were a little desperate.

How do you play this ball?
Do they really have a chance of beating Millwall?

sidelines.

Watching the game, Ferguson couldn't help shaking his head helplessly. He wondered if he was really old.

Manchester United's situation is not at a disadvantage, and there are no fewer shooting opportunities than Millwall, but why is Millwall scoring goals every time? Is it true that there is a gap in shooting efficiency between strikers and midfielders.

But is Manchester United's lineup worse than Millwall's?
Rooney, Tevez, Carrick, which one is not the best in the world?Not to mention C-Ronaldo.

In Ferguson's view, C-Ronaldo is the best player in the world. Millwall's Braniff is not much worse than C-Ronaldo, but in fact, there is still a big gap between the two. Braniff Good performance, more relying on Millwall's battle...

Ferguson didn't dare to think about it anymore.

What Manchester United is worse than Millwall can only be said to be tactical play and the degree of adhesion to the players, but he can't do anything about it. Do what Millwall does, so that every player can do his best in the tactical system. Use your strengths.

"Maybe I really should retire..."

"pity……"

Ferguson turned his head to look at the young figure on the sidelines, and couldn't help thinking, "If he can replace me and become the head coach of Manchester United, there will be nothing to worry about in the future." The only thing that the old Jazz can't let go of is Manchester United, he can choose Officially retired, but without a qualified successor.

What about the future?
Then no one can tell.

----

Millwall's three-goal lead is a huge blow to Manchester United. Even if there are examples of Liverpool's three-goal comeback, not every team can do it, especially in the face of the mighty Millwall. Even the top players, including C-Ronaldo, don't have much confidence in winning the game.

While Ferguson made a decision, C-Ronaldo also made a decision: he wants to leave Manchester United.

If he continues to stay at Manchester United, it will be difficult to follow the team to win the championship. Only by leaving can there be hope. He is already desperate for the Premier League.

What hope is there in the Premier League without Millwall?

It's been a few seasons...

The thoughts of other Manchester United players are also very pessimistic. Even if the final is still going on and there are nearly 10 minutes left in the game, they are not optimistic about winning, and they are not even optimistic about next season.

Some of these veterans, such as Scholes, know that Ferguson already has the idea of ​​retiring.

"There is no way to win this game, the Jazz should retire..."

This idea made many Manchester United players unable to concentrate on the game. Even if Manchester United did not win the championship for several seasons, Ferguson still has great prestige in the team.

In the next game, Manchester United's performance cannot be said to be bad, but it is just past.

But still no goal!
When the game time crossed the 10-minute threshold, the Millwall fans in the stands cheered for the championship. The Manchester United fans wanted to resist, but they really had no confidence.

10 minutes.

5 minutes.

3 minutes.

A little bit of time passed, but the score did not change.

This is the most desperate.

After just 2 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the game commentator also announced, "The game is over! The game is over!"

"Millwall! Millwall led by Zhang Yang defeated Manchester United led by Ferguson!"

"Millwall became the champion of the UEFA Champions League in the 2007-2008 season! Last season's Champions League champion also belonged to Millwall. They successfully defended and defended the Champions League! It is a remarkable achievement. We can say that in the past two seasons, Millwall Wall has dominated Europe."

"This season, Millwall has achieved a Grand Slam. Starting from the Community Shield, they have won seven championships in a row! They swept the Premier League, Europe, and even the entire world!"

Following the exclamation of the commentator, there was a shot of Zhang Yang on the TV screen. He rushed into the field, and Simpson, who was the closest, hugged each other. Soon more people rushed over, and they hugged together. , cheering into a group, "This is Zhang Yang and his Millwall! It took them only three seasons to go from a newly promoted Premier League team to a dominant player in European football. The results are incredible... "

The camera switched to Manchester United. The players looked downcastly and walked off the field respectively. Some players cried bitterly, covering their cheeks. They missed the Champions League, which was right in front of them. It's cruel."

The scene turned to Ferguson, the old Jazz seemed to not want to face the camera, he turned around and walked into the passage, leaving only his back on the camera, "Ferguson left early, he didn't want to see the opponent's celebration, that's for Ferguson, For Manchester United, it was a brutal thing."

In the end, the picture turned around, pointing to Zhang Yang who was celebrating with the fans, "Millwall has come all the way, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sweep. They met Real Madrid in the group stage and defeated Sevilla, Chelsea, and Barcelona in the knockout round. Ronaldo, and now Manchester United, every opponent can't bring them too much pressure."

"Such a team is amazing, and when it comes to Millwall, you can definitely think of their Chinese coach Zhang Yang. This young man, who is not yet 25 years old, has managed a Championship team in just three and a half seasons. The team has become recognized as the top team in the world."

"How did he do that?"

"Perhaps many people will think of a big-money transfer, but in fact, most of Millwall's players were discovered by Zhang Yang, such as Braniff, Simpson, Morris, etc., all followed Millwall from England. Since the crown has been won, many people will also say that Zhang Yang is not only good at leading the team, he is also very good at training players..."

"After winning this championship, Zhang Yang has become an almost unsurpassable star in the football coaching industry..."

----

The 'unsurpassable star' that the game commentator talked about will soon have the latest news.

Not to win the championship.

Not coaching.

Zhang Yang surprisingly publicly stated, "I will leave Millwall, and I have not considered coaching other teams." His reason is, "In terms of coaching, there is no longer any goal that can be pursued."

This reason makes people want to vomit blood.

A large group of people felt sorry for Zhang Yang's decision to leave, but the decision Zhang Yang made must not be changed.

Zhang Yang then disappeared from the mainstream media.

half a year later.

Zhang Yang frequently appears in the media again, but the reason has nothing to do with football, but his Zhang's investment has dominated the US stocks. Before the financial crisis, he shorted stocks. was noticed.

The "Wall Street Journal" made a conservative estimate. During the US financial crisis, Zhang's investment used various short-selling methods to take away more than 80 billion US dollars in one go. Considering that Zhang's investment is Zhang Yang's personal company, other people's shares There are very few, and he suddenly became the top richest man worth more than 50 billion US dollars.

After hearing the news about Zhang Yang, it was the middle of the second year.

Zhang Yang announced his marriage to Ivanka in a high-profile manner.

The wedding was grand.

The news reports are all about how extravagant the wedding is, which is meaningless at all, but after the wedding, Zhang Yang and Ivanka will return to live in China, and he himself will continue to invest in the country.

----

ten years later.

Because of the departure of many stars, the Millwall Club, whose performance fell to the British Championship, announced a news--
The club changed hands.

The Chinese consortium has acquired most of the club's shares. At the same time, from next season, the team's legendary and meritorious coach Zhang Yang will officially assume the chairmanship of the club...
