The remaining two people in the office were sweating profusely!

Zhang Yang sets his goals higher and higher!

First, it is mid-level Premier League, but it is barely acceptable, but the upstream Premier League is a bit too luxurious.

European competition quota?

Wouldn't that be in the top six?

Champions League quota?

The first four!

"If I could win the championship, I would definitely not be satisfied with the runner-up!" After Zhang Yang finished talking about his goals, Gligery and Ebenezer were a little dazed.

champion?

It turns out to be a joke!

There is no precedent for a new team to win the championship in the history of the Premier League!

Teams that can achieve good results by upgrading generally have their own characteristics: for example, they have rich historical background, or they are a strong team themselves, or they have a large amount of money investment.

Millwall has nothing.

Gligory shook his head silently, and he looked at Zhang Yang with a bitter smile, "Ahem... I think it's the most important thing to be stable and upgraded first."

"Yes! Upgrading is the most important! Upgrading is the most important!" Ebenizer hurriedly followed.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Advancement is of course important, but what should be prepared is still to be prepared. Upgrading is my job, but if you want to get good results next season, the team needs to strengthen their strength. I hope to have certain financial authority and support me to get the players I want."

Gligory affirmed, "That's of course, we will try our best to get the transfer fee. But the premise is that we can upgrade."

"I said that's my job."

After Zhang Yang left, Gligory exclaimed and looked at Ebenezer, "I am looking forward to the team's promotion, but just now... Zhang seemed to put a lot of pressure on me."

Ebenezer shrugged, "That's a legitimate request, the reason for the pressure is because...we don't have money!"

"yes!"

Gligory was speechless for a while and could only admit it calmly.

The financial situation of Millwall Club is better than that of many English clubs, but it is just barely losing money. All the major directors are some "poor" who hold shares, and the same is true for Gligory himself. He holds 21% of the shares and is one of the major shareholders of the club. However, his other industries also have only one medium-sized supermarket, and it is impossible to invest large amounts of money in the club.

The 300,000 pounds in front of me, and the 100,000 pounds that Gligoli paid for.

This is pure personal investment.

It is good news to be able to enter the Premier League next season. Millwall's income will definitely increase a lot, but that is the future income. Millwall does not have much liquidity at present.

"It seems we are going to borrow money from the bank again!" Ebenezer sighed.

Gligory made a promise helplessly.

"If we can complete the upgrade, we can use the TV broadcast rights for next season as collateral, and we should be able to get some of the money, but I don't want to see the club have huge debts." Ebenezer analyzed, "So we will not prepare much transfer funds, and Zhang's requirements can only be lower."

Next, the two began to discuss financial issues.

———

The atmosphere of Millwall Club gives people the feeling that it must have been upgraded, but in fact, there are still four rounds of the league, and everything is possible in the four rounds of the game. Millwall is just one more point than Wigan Athletics, and if there is a small mistake, it will be overtaken by the competitors.

This is because of Millwall's performance.

If Wigan Athletics is ranked in the top three since the beginning of the season, the league is about to end, and is still clenched by other teams, the ranking becomes very dangerous and it is not certain that it can be upgraded.

Millwall is different.

Halfway through the season, Millwall ranked seventeenth in the league at the lowest level, and they won one victory after another in the second half.

Now Millwall has just risen to second place in the league. But when I think about winning so many games before and only four rounds are left, the club naturally believes that there is hope for upgrading.

However, from the outside world, Millwall's league ranking is unstable.

The competition among the top three in the league is too fierce. Sunderland ranks first, with only two points more than Millwald, while Millwald ranks second, with only one more point than Wigan Athletics.

Only one round of league games can change the rankings of the top three.

The 43rd round of the Championship was regarded as a round of "the ranking may change". There is nothing to say about the away challenge of Leicester City. Without surprise, there is no suspense in Vigan Athletics' victory.

Sunderland, the first in the league, met a strong opponent, and their opponent was Ipswich, who rose to fourth place.

Millwall's opponent is the "Harves"-West Hammer United.

Since the 1970s and early 1990s, West Ham United has been rising between the top league League and the second league at that time, and is known as a "lift" by fans. After West Ham United was promoted to the Premier League in 1993, they competed in the Premier League for ten seasons. However, although they scored 42 points in the league in 2003, they were still only ranked 18th. They were about to fall into the Championship. West Ham United has also become the team with the highest score among the Premier League teams since the Premier League was reduced to the 20th team in 1995.

Over the past thirty years, West Ham has been in England's top stadium for a long time, and even if it is relegated, it will soon be promoted.

They are also the most popular team this season.

Although West Ham United is only ranked sixth in the league and is still working hard to participate in the promotion play-offs, their strength cannot be determined by the league ranking. In the past forty league games, they have defeated most of the so-called "ranked teams": Sunderland, Wigan Athletics, Ipswich, Wolves, etc., all of these teams have lost to West Ham United.

But West Ham's performance was not stable. They lost 0-2 to Coventry and 2-4 to Gillingham.

This is also the reason why West Ham only ranks sixth in the league.

Zhang Yang carefully studied West Ham United and found that this team was indeed the same as the media analyzed. When performing well, it could sweep the Championship. When performing poorly, even a weak team could get points from them.

So what kind of West Ham United will Millwall encounter?

Zhang Yang is unwilling to leave the winner to luck. In the locker room before the game, he emphasized the current league format and also talked about the media's views on the game to motivate players to work hard.

"I don't want to put pressure on you, but you should know the current league format and we have to win!"

"No one wants to see that the team has just risen to second place in the league and fell to third place in the league. In that way, our efforts will be in vain!"

"The outside world is not optimistic about us, so we must work harder and let them see who the real winner will be!"

“…”

Inspired by the ostentatious words, Millwall players stepped onto the field with high fighting spirit.

The game was a bit unexpected.

The outside media are optimistic about West Ham United, because when playing against teams with high rankings in the Championship, West Ham United's winning rate is very high. Millwall is also considered a "high ranking" team, so West Ham United is likely to perform well.

In the game, West Ham United performed well.

During the opening period, they once suppressed Millwall in the half and couldn't even attack!

Cheers from home team fans resounded through Upton Park Stadium!

Various media also discussed the game enthusiastically. They thought that Millwall would definitely lose the game, which would become very interesting: one is that Millwall ended the ten-game winning streak; the other is that Millwall only stayed in the second round of the league and then fell back to third in the league.

It actually makes sense that the media supports West Ham United.

West Ham United is a strong team, and they just "accidentally" fell to the English Championship. What is certain is that it is only a matter of time before West Ham United returns to the Premier League. In addition, West Ham United is also a London regional team. The London regional media, which is already hostile to Millwall, will naturally support West Ham United, which is also a London regional team.

Millwall lacks staunch supporters.

But soon the media reporters were disappointed, because Mirwall was still the first goal, and the goal occurred in the 26th minute.

That was a chance to fight back.

After receiving the pass in the midfield, Braniff quickly broke forward. When he was about to reach the penalty area, he was hit by two opponents from left to right and left, so he could only choose to use his heels to pass the ball back. David Livermore, who followed, shot without hesitation and sent the ball directly into the West Ham goal.

The moment the football flew into the goal, the fans on the scene and the reporters in the media table were stunned.

Didn’t it be agreed that West Ham will win?

Why did Millwall score the goal?

This time, the celebration turned into Millwall fans, and their excited cheers made West Ham supporters feel even more depressed.

"David Livermore! David Livermore!"

The commentator of "Sky Sports" shouted excitedly, "Livermore, a player, has fewer performances on weekdays, but if he is not careful, he may be on the outside of the penalty area and directly pose a threat to the goal!"

"West Ham United should learn from their lessons!"

"Maybe the game at the beginning went too smoothly, and they didn't care about Livermore's threat at all..."

When Livermore completed the goal, Zhang Yang kept applauding and celebrated with others. For others, Livermore's goal was unexpected. No one expected that Millwall, who had been suppressed, would be the first to score. Zhang Yang didn't see that. Millwall was suppressed on the scene because she was not adapted to the early stage of the away game. West Ham United's style of playing was also very radical. On the conservative side, it was naturally necessary to strengthen defense. In this regard, it was very gratifying that the players knew how to play on the court.

Millwall is not without threats.

West Ham has the advantage in the situation and only has a long time to control the ball, but they don’t pay much attention to defense. When Millwall gets the opportunity and relies on counterattacks to score goals, it’s nothing strange.

With this goal, Zhang Yang felt much more at ease.

A few days ago, he discovered a rule: as long as West Ham United scores first goal, they can easily defeat their opponents. Ipswich, who is good at defending, did not escape, and Sunderland, the first in the league, did not escape.

on the contrary.
