As a newly promoted player, Millwall defeated Premier League powerhouse Blackburn at home, and could barely be considered a small unpopular, but it would not be cared about by the media and fans. After all, Blackburn is not a giant, and he has to work hard to relegate every season. It is normal to lose to the newly promoted player in one round of the league.

However, winning by a big score is different!

That's 5 to 0!

Just by watching the game, you can imagine how badly Blackburn was tortured. After the game, all media on the court gathered at the press conference and they couldn't wait to conduct an interview.

The first one for journalists to wait was Blackburn head coach Mark Hughes.

As the side who failed the big score, Mark Hughes had no good face. After walking on the stage, he just said, "This is a very painful defeat. Millwall is not easy to deal with, but we were careless. Every player in the team was careless, and even I didn't think Millwall was a threat. But in fact I was wrong."

"I think the teams that want to play against Millwall must be careful to deal with it. They are not simply promoted teams."

Many reporters in the audience looked down on it.

They felt that Mark Hughes exaggerated Millwall's strength to cover up the fact that Blackburn was performing poorly.

5 to 0, it's so painful.

Mark Hughes is definitely unwilling to admit that failures are all the reasons for Blackburn. He can only say that Millwall is very powerful.

This is a normal reaction.

After Mark Hughes left, they began to wait for Zhang Yang, and interviewing the winner was the most important thing.

Zhang Yang came a little late.

He returned to the locker room, encouraged all the players, praised everyone's performance, and then came to the press conference.

When Zhang Yang walked to the door, he looked inside carefully and found that there were at least fifty reporters. The number of reporters was a bit surprising. There were only about thirty reporters at the press conference before the game.

It seems that Millwall's big win surprised them?

Zhang Yang walked into the venue with a smile, and he also walked to the stage to make a preparation, and then began to make a statement about the game, "The result was unexpected."

"I originally thought that I would use the first round of the game against Blackburn to let the team learn from experience, but I didn't expect that we could win a big score."

"We're just a little bit lucky, Blackburn seems to be a little out of shape. But no matter what, the victory is still joyful. This is the first Premier League game in Millwall's history. Our performance cannot be said to be perfect, but I'm very satisfied with the performance of every player."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking the low-key narrative, he heard a reporter's question, "Milwall won the big score, and it is impossible to rely solely on luck. Mr. Zhang Yang, can you analyze the reasons for the victory?"

That was a Times reporter.

Zhang Yang pulled the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect a reporter to "help" to speak? Then he put his hand under his chin and thought about it carefully before saying, "If you want to talk about the reason, I think there are three points..."

"First point, we are well prepared. When preparing for the summer, the team spent most of the time closed training, and each player worked very hard. When dealing with the first round of the league, the coaching staff also conducted research on Blackburn. I believe we are well prepared than our opponents."

"In addition, we are lucky. This is the second time to take you. It is a bit unexpected to score two goals in ten minutes. Perhaps it was because the opponent was not able to participate in the game yet, and those two goals helped a lot."

"There is also the home advantage. Many Millwall fans came to the scene to support the team's closest distance. I believe this is an important reason for the team's performance!"

Zhang Yang analyzed three reasons in a low-key manner.

The reporters in the audience all felt very strange. He didn't mention himself after talking for a long time. Luck and home court were all external.

A reporter who knows Zhang Yang was thinking: When did this guy become so low-key? It was like this before the game, and it is still like this now.

Not very right!

The reporters also want to dig deeper. They always feel that Millwall won the big score, not just external reasons. There must be something they don’t know, such as why Millwall’s offense can play so smoothly?

Why can Millwall's players perform so well?

etc.

These are what you can easily see in the game, perhaps because of Millwall's tactics?

The reporters hoped that Zhang Yang would talk about Mirwall's preparations, which would be better if tactical-related preparations were better. But Zhang Yang was just talking nonsense, not mentioning tactical-related things at all, and hardly commenting on the players' performance. It seemed that Mirwall won the game by relying on luck.

A reporter asked a key question that must be mentioned by the players, "Which player do you think performs the best?"

Zhang Yang has to talk about the players.

The reporters hoped to hear Branif's name. Branif scored two goals and performed very well throughout the game, but Zhang Yang talked about the most boring name, "Our goalkeeper, Hislop!"

"Why?"

Zhang Yang shrugged, "We scored five goals, but we didn't lose a single one, so the biggest contributor to winning the game was the goalkeeper."

Many reporters grew up and didn't know what to say.

It's wrong? But it seems to make sense!

correct?

But in the game, Heathlop didn't perform many times. He spent most of his time leisurely in the backcourt, saying that he was a fan who came to watch the game on the court.

Many reporters felt that their IQ was insulted. They were determined to give something in front of the Chinese. A reporter immediately asked, "Milwall won the game with a big score in the first round. So Mr. Zhang Yang, can you tell me what Millwall's goal this season?"

"Relegation!"

Zhang Yang quickly answered.

"But Millwall performed so well in the first round..." the reporter asked unwillingly.

Zhang Yang asked strangely, "If I remember correctly, there are 38 rounds in the Premier League. A good performance in one round does not mean anything. We are just a promoted team, and the champion of the English Championship is still a promoted team, so our goal is of course to relegate! Moreover, even relegate is difficult. After all, our strength is at the bottom of the Premier League. Perhaps it is more difficult for us to complete relegation than other teams to compete for the Premier League championship!"

“…”

Many reporters were silent unwillingly.

They finally discovered something strange: what the Chinese in front of them should have said was what they said, just like many reports before the game, constantly saying, "Milwall ranks at the bottom of his strength, and it is basically impossible to relegate."

Is this revenge?

This young Chinese is not satisfied with the pre-match report, so he can deal with the news content he saw!

This is definitely the case!

The reporters were full of anger. They were completely fooled and no attractive news was interviewed: The reason for winning was to prepare well, luck and home court advantage? Is Heathlop the best player? Millwall's goal is to relegate?

What's there to report on this!

Zhang Yang ignored the feelings of media reporters.

He did it on purpose!

During the summer preparations, the media have said bad things about Millwall. Not only does they deny their strength, but also added various sarcasm, as if Millwall is about to be relegated. Now that Millwall has won, he seems to be about to make a statement to prove what he wants to make?

no!

He has no reason to prove it to the media, that would he fall into the trap of the media!

There is still one reason why Zhang Yang did this, that is, the next opponent's strength against Millwall cannot be understood.

If we tell reporters everything and shout "Our goal is the league championship," it will be difficult to meet an opponent at that time because they will regard Millwall as a team that is full of fighting spirit to fight for the championship.

Millwall is in the top league, but he has no strength to dominate the world.

It’s time to be low-key, but still to be low-key!

———

There was nothing to report on the media that day.

In response to Millwall's 5-0 victory over Blackburn, they could only analyze the reasons such as "Blackburn's carelessness", "full preparation", and "good luck" according to Zhang Yang's statement, and they could not find other reasons.

Many football analysts also watched the game video carefully, but the conclusions they came to were the same: Millwall's tactics were very simple, and they didn't seem to care much about winning, and they really just performed well.

Many people can't figure out Millwall.

They also had a general impression of the game: Millwall performed well, Blackburn was careless.

This is something Zhang Yang is happy to see.

After returning to the club, Zhang Yang praised everyone's performance, then disbanded the team and announced, "Two-day holiday!"

"But do you have to mess around!"

Amid a burst of cheers from a group of players, everyone left the club.

Zhang Yang did not leave.

The team beat Blackburn with a big score, which was indeed very happy, but some problems were exposed during the game.

Others don’t care, but Zhang Yang attaches great importance to it.

That is physical fitness.

The team conducted two weeks of physical training in July, and the players recovered well, but basically they were only at the level of last season.

This was nothing, and Zhang Yang didn't care.

But when the game is in progress, the problem arises: by the end, some players will not be able to keep up with their physical fitness.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yang understood the reason: the new tactics require accelerating the pace, and fast-paced games will also make players' physical energy consume faster.

For example, David Livermore, a player with excellent physical fitness, certainly won’t have any problems, but most players do not have such abundant physical fitness, and they are almost exhausted after persisting throughout the game.

This is the first round of the league!

If there are only a few rounds of league games, there is no big problem, but the season continues and when the intensive schedule is reached, the problem will become bigger and bigger.

First of all, the rapid consumption of players' physical fitness will definitely affect the game state.

In addition, it can easily cause injuries.

When you think about it, you will know that the problem will be too serious if it continues. So Zhang Yang found Ebenezer and the first sentence was, "Sign up a professional physical fitness coach as soon as possible!"

"Must, as soon as possible! Find someone with ability!"
