Chapter 178 First Aid!

"There is only the last round left in the English Championship. Sunderland, who ranked first in the league, has the same points as Millwall, who ranked second, but Sunderland has eleven more goals than Millwall, and the goal difference ratio has an absolute advantage."

"Milwall cannot surpass Sunderland with a goal difference. As long as Sunderland wins the last round of the league, they will win the English Champions League!"

"Considering that Sunderland's opponent is Nottingham Forest, which has been confirmed to be relegated, they may be able to celebrate the championship in advance!"

"But it's enough to be proud that Millwall can become the second in the league and lock in the upgrade quota one round ahead of schedule. Before the season, Millwall was not a popular upgrade. In the middle of the season, their ranking fell to 17th place. Zhang Yang, a young coach from China, led Millwall to achieve brilliant results in the second half. It was a miracle to be able to complete the upgrade..."

“…”

In the media's reports, we can almost understand the form. The key to the last round is not Millwall's game, but whether Sunderland can defeat Nottingham Forest. As long as they can win, Millwall will not have any at all.

Nottingham Forest has confirmed its downgrade.

A team that has been relegated has no fighting spirit at all and is in the away game. What opportunities can there be?

Everyone thinks this way, and it is the same in Millwall Club. Even Zhang Yang is helpless. He has a way to lead the team to win, but he can't let his competitors lose.

That's something that only gods can do.

However, before the last round, Zhang Yang reminded all players to seize the opportunity, "No matter what the league format is, whether Sunderland will beat Nottingham Forest, if we want to compete for the league championship, we must first win."

"If we can't win and Sunderland loses the game, that's the biggest regret!"

"You don't want to leave this regret, do you?"

"So we must win the game and do what we should do."

"After this round, the whole season is over. I also hope that the team can end with a winning end. Do you all understand?"

The players all agree with what Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang did not say any big truth, nor did he talk about ideals in an empty way. He just told the truth, hoping that everyone could defeat their opponents and fight for the last chance.

This kind of words makes people feel real.

A season is about to pass, and it looks like a dream when looking back. The downturn in the first half of the schedule and the passion in the second half of the schedule are all worth remembering.

This will become an important memory for everyone in the team.

Then this important memory should have a successful end, which is the most beautiful.

Just like some movies, the protagonist always has to work hard until the end, and does not give up his dream even if he fails. If he reaches the last step, he stops because he sees no hope, which will become the biggest regret.

———

Before the game started, almost all media were paying attention to Sunderland's game because they were able to win the championship by defeating Nottingham Forest.

No one paid attention to Millwall's game.

Millwall's opponent is Burnley, a team ranked 14th in the league. It is really difficult to attract attention when the two sides fight, and everyone thinks the game doesn't matter.

It doesn't mean to Millwall, nor to Burnley.

The FA is also very concerned about Sunderland's game. They brought the championship trophy to the Stadium of Light and waited for Sunderland to win the game and award the trophy to them.

This incident caused dissatisfaction among the Millwall Club.

However, considering that Sunderland has too great hope of winning the championship, Millwall Club did not say anything, but Zhang Yang was very dissatisfied. Millwall also has the hope of winning the championship. Although the hope is small, it also exists. You can't just ignore it completely because of the small hope?

At the pre-match press conference, Zhang Yang criticized the FA for this matter, "I don't understand what they think! Bring the championship trophy to the Light Stadium? What if Sunderland loses the game? Will they take the trophy to Neal Stadium? I will refuse to attend the award ceremony at that time, because the trophy becomes something that others have left."

"The FA should treat every team fairly. Indeed, we have little chance, but what if we win the championship?"

Zhang Yang's rhetorical question was unanimously curled by the media.

Millwall has a chance?

Stop kidding!

However, they understood Zhang Yang's mood and felt that what he said made sense. The last round of the league was not over yet and Sunderland was not sure to win the championship. It was incorrect for the FA to bring the trophy to the bright court with a work-saving mentality.

Of course, after Sunderland won the championship, there will probably be no one to say anything.

———

Soon the game at Neal Stadium began.

Millwall has good fighting spirit, and the players go to the game with the mentality of "the season has a victory end".

Burnley is the opposite.

Burnley's season can be described as plain. Their best result is to rise to the 10th league and the worst result to the 15th league. They belong to the kind of pure "middle-level team" without any hope of upgrading or any risk of relegation.

In such a dull season, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a loss or a win in the last game.

Burnley players all think so, and the game is played at Neal Stadium, so you can imagine what their performance is.

In the seventeenth minute, Braniff helped Millwall break through Burnley goal.

In the 36th minute, David Livermore shot hard to help the team widen the score gap.

2 to 0.

This is the first half score.

When entering the halftime break, Millwall players didn't care about their games, but instead began to care about Sunderland's games.

In the home team's locker room.

The TV screen hanging on the wall was playing the game between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest.

The match between the two teams was ten minutes earlier than Millwall's game. The second half is about to begin. The score is 1-0, and Sunderland led Nottingham Forest at home.

This score is disappointing.

Millwall players all hope to see Nottingham Forest lead or draw, but there is hope. Sunderland's home lead is the most unfavorable.

Zhang Yang explained his way of playing in the second half, turned on his tablet, and watched the game between Sunderland and Nottingham Forest. He relied on his "predictive" ability to notice that Nottingham Forest was about to be scored the second goal.

"It's - die!"

Zhang Yang cursed angrily and was a little anxious. If Sunderland scored the second goal, Nottingham Forest would have no chance.

This doesn't work!

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, opened his phone like "rescue" and found the phone number of Nottingham Forest coach Hart.

It is not polite to call during the game, but it is still fine to send text messages. Zhang Yang thinks you can get first aid. Hart is the head coach of the Championship team, and there are few head coaches who have a good relationship with him. If the other party sees it, he will have a chance to follow his advice.

Otherwise... I can only be second in the league!

So Zhang Yang sent a text message, "Mr. Hart! I think you should make the team pay attention to the defense on the left side, and never let the opponent make a cross easily..."

Send the text message.
