Hart is the head coach of Nottingham Forest and an experienced coach.

Coaching a team is his job, and analyzing games is the ability required for work. When he sees games and a team's performance, he naturally has much better vision than other amateurs.

The media is in the scope of ‘amateur’.

After Joey Healy scored the goal, most of the reporters in the media were "disappointment". For the media, Millwall was the focus. Some time ago, their results were so good that there was nothing to report.

Perhaps, they can praise the young Chinese coach.

But most media will not do this. They are not racist in their minds, because nationality is far from age, and they are worried about one thing: what if this young Chinese is just lucky?

He is so young!

At the age of twenty-two, players of this age have not yet passed the 'novice period'. Many young players at the age of twenty-two are still participating in the amateur leagues in various club youth teams, and are still in the stage of progress and development, and only those days can play out.

Not to mention the coaching industry!

Is there a 22-year-old football coach?

At this age, I can only lead children to play football part-time. It is incredible to be a professional league head coach.

Anyway, most people don’t believe that Zhang Yang has any level.

In a word, too young!

This can cover everything, so Millwall won, it is difficult for them to report on what to do. No one can read the news about Nottingham Forest. Maybe we can analyze the reasons for Millwall's victory?

right!

Exclude head coaching factor!

So the media reporters began to think about Millwall carefully.

When time entered the intermission, they realized that Millwall's new formation was discovered: In fact, someone discovered it at the beginning of the game, but most people didn't take it seriously at all. Now they remembered that Millwall had only one striker.

4231?

This is indeed a new formation!

For several seasons, Millwall has insisted on using the 442 formation, and has never changed. They have replaced the head coaches, and the players in the team are back and forth, but the team formation and tactics have almost no change.

The reason is that the level is limited.

Most low-level league teams, tactics, formations, etc. are not important. They are something that only high-tech teams can play. If you change a formation, it is difficult to exert better strength. Most low-level league teams have adapted to the traditional 442 formation. They also know how to play in the 442 formation, so most teams rarely change formations and tactics.

At the Championship level, some teams will also use new formations.

The most typical one is Ipswich.

Ipswich coach Joe Royle likes to emphasize defense. He coached for several seasons, which is enough to allow the team to change the new formation. At present, the formation that Ipswich is good at using is 4321. The pyramid formation seems to be the main attack center, or the offensive formation with both wings flying together, but Ipswich's 4321 has actually become a defensive formation with 4 defenders, 3 back midfielders, and 2 midfielders.

Millwall has also used a new formation now.

Judging from the performance of this game, the new formation is quite effective. Millwall's performance is much better than Nottingham Forest. They suppressed Nottingham Forest in the situation and various data also have considerable advantages.

So the media reporters have added credit to Frederick and Alders—

"Milwall's two assistant coaches are very skilled! The new formation and new tactics that they adapted to have played a good role!"

"This is why Millwall performed well - the new formation!"

"That young Chinese may just be a puppet. I heard that he was a 'game instructor' before. Perhaps he was only responsible for leading the team's game in the team's affairs!"

“…”

The media reporters started talking lively.

It can be heard from each of the words, and they don’t think that the new formation will have anything to do with Zhang Yang.

Perhaps it is understandable.

Just as Braniff said publicly, "He doesn't know anything and can't do anything. We are all responsible for our training, and he just leads the team to play!"

The opinions of media reporters cannot affect the fans for a while.

Fans are fans.

Fans just hope that the team can play better and win more games. As for whom the team wins, most people don’t care at all.

During the halftime break, Millwall fans were very excited to discuss the team's performance. They reviewed the team's performance before Christmas and the current team's victory after victory. Some fans said confidently, "Although it's only 1-0, I believe we will definitely win!"

"Yes! We haven't lost seven games!"

"This game will also be a victory!"

"Since Zhang Yang came to the team, the team has always achieved good results! No matter whether he has a level or an age or not, it is the best to bring victory!"

"I think so too."

“…”

From the fans’ conversations, we can see the difference between fans and the media.

Fans only care about their results and their victory. As long as they have good results, they can lead the team to win. There is no difference between luck or level. A head coach who has the best skills and cannot lead the team to win will definitely not receive support from fans.

On the contrary, it can gain great support.

It is difficult for Zhang Yang to gain most of the media support, but he has been recognized by most Millwall fans.

After a half-game, the confidence of Millwall players also became sufficient.

During the halftime break, Millwall's locker room was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone was talking about their performance in the first half. Often, during the halftime break, players hoped to get a rest. They could breathe a little relieved in the middle of the intense game, so they rarely talked about the game again.

But this one is different.

Millwall uses a new formation for the first time.

Although Zhang Yang is confident in the new formation, the others are different. They are not clear about how much effect the new formation can play.

The whole team was worried.

After one half, the players found that they performed well and could suppress their opponents in the game, so they were full of confidence in the game.

"I think the team has performed better!"

"This game is easier than the previous game, and the new formation is very effective!"

"David is the key! He helped attract a lot of attention, especially those two shots! Just think about it, I began to sympathize with Nottingham Forest!" Joey Healy's funny statement made many teammates laugh.

The second half of the game began.

From the first minute, Nottingham Forest made a big push, using its continuous advancement to strive for the opportunity to equalize the score. Head coach Hart used two substitutions in the 47th and 61st minutes, and replaced frontcourt players who were good at attacking, with the purpose of increasing Nottingham Forest's offensive ability.

This is a choice without choice.

At the City Square Stadium, 0-1 behind Millwall. Nottingham Forest must take the initiative to launch an offensive if it wants to win points.

But in the end, Nottingham Forest still didn't score.

This kind of suppression of the overall situation has certain effects. At least it is difficult for Millwall to get out of the advantage in the situation, which also proves that Nottingham Forest's playing style has certain advantages. With the full-game tight defense, it can indeed make the opponent feel at a loss, especially at the beginning of the second half, it is very difficult for Millwall to fight back, because the team has to focus most of its energy on defense to ensure the stability of the goal.

Nottingham Forest has frequent loopholes in defense, but they have used their constant offensive to make up for the defensive shortcomings.

They seem to be interpreting it with the game: offense is the best defense.

But Millwall has the advantage of scoring, so they are not in a hurry to score. The players on the field are not in a hurry at all, but just defend in the backcourt.

Nottingham Forest is in a hurry.

They had to launch continuous offensives, and the offensives they launched again and again made them have no time to care about defense.

There is an old saying that goes, "If you work hard, you will lose again, and you will lose three times." No matter what, they will not be able to attack continuously for dozens of minutes. If the continuous offensive does not score, it means that there will be a rhythm adjustment.

As the game reached its 70th minute, Nottingham Forest still had to slow down.

They can't even kick it out if they want to continue.

Throughout the game, their players consumed a lot of physical energy, and Millwall was relatively better. Not only did they run relatively less when defending, Millwall players were also more relaxed.

In the 79th minute, Millwall launched a frontal push.

This wave of offensive play was very plain, but the crossing of the wing and middle lanes was coordinated. Nottingham Forest also had a steady retreat and defense, but few people thought that the goal just appeared.

It's David Livermore!

From the first half to now, Livermore has been defended very closely and has few opportunities to get the ball in the frontcourt, but when Nottingham Forest was eager to tie the score, their backcourt defense was also affected.

Livermore received a pass from the left front of the penalty area line.

Jody Morris' pass was just a flat push, and he didn't expect Livermore to shoot. He also bypassed the opponent's defensive player, hoping that Livermore would send the ball back.

Livermore chose to shoot directly!

This shot was too sudden.

Livermore is about twenty-nine meters away from the goal. In any game, the distance is nearly thirty meters very far, but he directly waved his feet and chose to shoot a long shot.

"Bang!"

The football rushed straight to the right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Barry Roche was standing in front of the goal. He saw Livermore swing his feet and was ready to save. But when he was judged and flew to save, he realized that the football was too fast and the angle was too tricky.

He could only watch the football rushing past his fingers.
Chapter completed!
