Chapter 141 Face the reality(1/2)

Millwall swept Leeds United, won another victory three-to-zero, and successfully entered the league fifth.

Millwall fans are excited and delighted with the team's results.

After the game, many fans stayed at Neal Stadium and refused to leave. They kept shouting and cheering for the victory. The fanaticism also made Millwall Club feel a headache.

Before leaving, the players had to return to the stadium and thank the fans again.

In this process, the one who called out the most names by fans was not the team's core Jody Morris, nor the striker Neil Harris or others, but the Zhang Yang who stood at the end of the team.

"Zhang Yang!"

"We support you!"

"You are excellent!"

One by one, a number of shouts representing simple support sounded from the stands. While enjoying the cheers of the fans, Zhang Yang had to stand out with a smile and wave to the stands.

The fans in the front row asked to shake hands with Zhang Yang, and the fans at the back of the stand also had the same requirements.

Zhang Yang thought about it and agreed to the intimate request, but just as he walked into the aisle of the stands, he was hugged tightly by a female fan who rushed out.

Zhang Yang would not face the crazy situation directly, and no one knew what would happen, so he hurried back, but there was still a big lipstick mark on his cheek.

Many fans laughed in the stands.

"These fans are so enthusiastic!" On the way back to the club, Zhang Yang rubbed his cheeks in distress. The lipstick marks on it were a bit too thick, and there were some green paint marks, which were difficult to wipe them clean.

"I really envy you, I'm so young! I want to be kissed enthusiastically by female fans, but unfortunately no one is willing to do that."

Odells said with some jealousy.

The players in the back row of the car were talking about the enthusiasm of the fans and the embarrassment of Zhang Yang just now. That was really interesting, but their conversation also made Zhang Yang's face darker. "I didn't even see what the female fan looked like. What's there to envy."

"I saw it."

Alders stopped deliberately after he said that.

Zhang Yang stared at him with two eyes until he said embarrassedly, "Okay, I only saw the silhouette. He has a very good figure and long brown hair. He should be a beautiful girl."

"Thank you, I can have dinner now."

"I saw it!"

A head in the back row came over, Curtis Weston. Zhang Yang and Alders immediately looked over, and Weston was a little embarrassed, "I mean... Boss, Mr. Fernival, I mean I saw it. In fact, it was a girl, only fifteen years old, because I knew her."

"Do you know her?"

Weston nodded, glanced at the back row, and whispered, "Didn't you notice it? David didn't get into the car, he walked away alone. Many people have seen her. It was David's sister, but I don't know what it was, David never took the initiative to introduce it..."

Zhang Yang opened his mouth wide when he heard this.

Alders was also surprised, but his eyes were more gossipy.

"Are you sure? Curtis?" Zhang Yang asked carefully.

Weston was a little confused, so he nodded, "Of course, very sure, I saw her two years ago, and before leaving, I saw David with her, but boss, why are you...yes, surprised..."

Zhang Yang asked seriously, "Do you know she is attending St. Paul Girls' High School?"

"St. Paul Girls' High School?"

"impossible!"

Not only Curtis Weston, but even Alders couldn't help but be surprised. Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively, "I heard David say that she was studying at St. Paul Women's High School, which is a prestigious school."

"What an amazing girl!"

"Yes! That's great. Not to mention St. Paul's Girls' High School, I don't even want to go to an ordinary high school."

"But……"

Alders struggled for a long time before he said, "How could she be David's sister? David? Can his sister go to St. Paul's Girls' High School?"

"Ahem, let's not gossip about other people's families."

Zhang Yang said seriously, but his eyes swept towards Weston. Weston received it. He blinked continuously, meaning 'Don't worry, boss, I will investigate it clearly'.

———

Millwall won four consecutive victories. Not to mention the fans and others, the atmosphere of the entire first team has become very good, and the players' confidence in the team has increased, just like Zhang Yang said, "We achieved our first small goal!"

When Zhang Yang clarified his upgrade goal, he locked in these four games.

"This is a game that must be won!"

In fact, Zhang Yang doesn’t want to create pressure on the team, but Mirwall is the time to need pressure.

Before the upgrade goal, the players all didn't care about the game, but with the upgrade goal, they worked a lot. The first small goal was to win four games, which was a bit stressful, but now they did it.

Stoke City, Cardiff City, Brighton and Leeds United, they defeated four opponents in a row.

When the first small goal is achieved, it is equivalent to taking the first step to success. Many people think that completing the upgrade is not too far away, at least they see hope.

However, the next game is still very critical.

Many players on the team felt a little relaxed, but Zhang Yang knew the importance of the next game. In the forty-six games of the entire league, a game may not be anything, but no matter how many victories Millwall won, they were only fifth in the league.

Zhang Yang's goal of leading the team is to squeeze into the top two in the league.

That's not easy.

Millwall has brought too many points, and every opportunity to catch up cannot be missed.

In the other two games of Wigan Athletics, as long as the team can get three points, it means that the competitor has lost three points.

Think about it.

Now Millwall and Wigan Athletics are seven league points apart. If you lose the game, the points gap between the two teams will widen to ten, and the gap will become four after winning the game.

This is the difference.

Ten points and four points, one out and one in, will be six league points.

Wigan Athletics is currently ranked first in the league, and their points are equal to second-place Sunderland. If they can beat Wigan Athletics, they will be only four points away from "League 2". There are still nine games left, and Millwall has many opportunities.

On the contrary, the difference between ten points is different.

Teams like Sunderland and Wigan Athletics may not lose ten points in nine games. Teams may not even have a chance to work hard. If they only settle for the second best and get the qualification to upgrade the playoffs, the four teams will not allow any minor mistakes to compete.

That's really too dangerous!

In order to have a better chance to defeat Wigan Athletics, Zhang Yang has personally supervised the training for several days, carefully urged the players to conduct targeted tactical training, and constantly cheered the team in various ways, making every player become full of fighting spirit.

At the same time, Zhang Yang is also troubled by the starting lineup.

The formation of the competition with Wigan Athletics has been confirmed, which is the defensive formation of 523. The whole team has been training in the past week, but it is very important to have a position in the starting lineup-

Front line.

The 523 formation is not without forwards. The forward is in the middle of ‘3’. If Mirwall wants to attack, he must rely on the forwards to fight.

The choice of the striker is the key.

Zhang Yang has three choices, one is Neil Harris. Harris has always been the main striker, with the most appearances and the most goals, but the problem is that he is a little old. At the age of 32, he is not young anymore. His performance has always been excellent, but in the game, he really can't rush.

Harris is not the kind of forward who is good at speed either.

The second choice is Kevin Keel. Kevin Keel is a high center forward and his foot skills are also good, but compared to Neil Harris, his advantage is his body rather than technology.

It is a bit unimaginable for a physical player of a high center to lead the front line to help the team score goals.

The last choice was actually the choice that Zhang Yang decided in his mind, that is Branif, who had just returned to the team.

Braniff has excellent skills and strong body. He is also a speed and technical striker. His style is the first choice for this game. Braniff has also performed well in recent days.

"Branif?"

Zhang Yang frowned slightly, and he was still a little worried that this guy would not obey the command. If he had a choice, he would definitely not consider Braniff, but he was more clear that "you can't bring personal emotions to work." As a head coach, you should do this even more.

After the training that day, Zhang Yang asked Alders to find Braniff.

In the entire Millwall first team, Braniff is the most special one, because he was punished by Zhang Yang and the only player to be punished. The punishment he received was very serious - he first went to the youth team to train, and he has not had a chance to play until now.

Nearly two months have passed now.

Two months!

For a professional player, every game that can play is very important. Braniff is the "chief substitute" of Millwall's forward. He has played a lot of times. Suddenly, he has not played for two months, and it is not because of an injury. Anyone would have been worried about his career.

Braniff didn't know what to do.

Two months ago, Braniff felt that he had the advantage. Because the media supported him, Zhang Yang must have stayed in the team for a short time, but now he has seen the situation clearly.

Zhang Yang left?

Maybe he will leave in the future, but that must not be fired.

As long as you look at Millwall's performance, anyone must recognize the young Chinese's ability to lead the team.

So as long as the opponent continues to target him, he doesn't have to want to play this season. Fans will not stand on his side, and media reporters will disappear without a trace.

No one will support him.

His agent Curry has warned, 'Don't go against your head coach', "If you think about leaving, I can contact you in advance for the next home, but even if you want to leave, it will be no good to go against the other party. You must know that not playing for half a year means that no club will be willing to pay a large transfer fee. At that time, Millwall refuses to offer, and it is impossible for you to leave. In the last season, you will not even be able to find your next home."
