Chapter 395 Going further towards the goal of the Champions League
When he saw Braniff kick the ball into the goal, Zhang Yang rushed out with the others and hugged him excitedly. After calming down, he kept clapping his hands.
The performance of several players in the frontcourt is really satisfying.
Vardy, Branif, and Quaresma formed a trident, and the triangle cooperated directly penetrated the Roman defense line.
This is really a goal achieved through cooperation.
Zhang Yang has always been very clear that the team's cooperation ability is limited, and most players' technical abilities are not up to standard. It is better to expect him to play a world wave fifty meters away for guys like Livermore.
Other players have better skills, but compared with top teams, the gap is still very obvious.
Now the team has done it.
Vardy, Branif, and Quaresma, all of the three players are relatively good at skill. Among them, Quaresma has the best skill. Vardy and Branif are similar. The three of them form a trident on the right, and the threat is still relatively large.
"Maybe we should think more about similar small-scale cooperation routines in the future."
Zhang Yang thought.
In terms of small routines, Millwall has just started, which is because the team has grown too fast and has not even adapted to basic tactics. There are very few practices in various small routines, and the coaching staff has come up with very few routines.
Football games also require routines.
Under a fixed tactical framework, allowing players to freely combine to cooperate with a certain range of routines can greatly enhance the team's offensive ability.
These are things that will happen in the future.
In the attack just now, Vardy, Branif and Quaresma performed very well. Branif dominated the offense, played a real core role, and completed the last shot.
Vardy attracted the defense and made a subtle pass.
Quaresma was not greedy for merit. Seeing that the opportunity was bad, he didn't shoot by himself, but kicked the ball back to the middle.
This is not the routine cooperation formulated before the game, but the on-the-spot performance of the three. It is easy to imagine how rare it is.
"This is the future!"
"Maybe they can all grow into big stars in the future!"
Whenever he thinks of this, Zhang Yang feels a little excited. In his memory, Quaresma's future is not very good. As a Portuguese genius who is as famous as C-Ronaldo, he can only play a supporting role in the end.
Vardy became famous late and was still well-known, but may a better future be achieved if he became famous early?
Braniff...
This guy with a weird personality is completely unfamous.
Zhang Yang could have understood why Braniff was no longer famous. With this guy's personality, he could offend all his teammates. Even the head coach and assistant coach were no exception. The conflicts within the team alone were a big problem. Even if he performed well, it was difficult to have a chance to play. If he had no chance to play, he would definitely overwhelm everyone and gradually faded out of professional football.
There has been a change now.
Braniff has become famous, and his future has been changed. Even if he leaves Millwall to go to other teams, he will definitely get a chance. As a big star, it is not a problem to have a weird personality, and he will definitely get reused.
These are all changes.
Wise walked to Zhang Yang, looked at the players celebrating on the court, and sighed to Zhang Yang, "I didn't expect Kevin and Jamie to be so outstanding." He sighed, recalling that he was the head coach two years ago. At that time, Braniff was just a substitute forward. He relied on Neil Harris. He felt that Braniff was not as good as Kevin Keir, the high center forward at that time.
Now, let’s compare, Braniff has become a famous star, and Kevin Keel is still hanging out in the low-level league.
‘If Braniff had been reused at that time, maybe Millwall wouldn’t have been that bad either, right?’
Wise thought.
Zhang Yang smiled slightly, "It's just a game, a goal, I hope they can perform well all the time."
This is a kind of expectation.
A game and a goal can be said to be special. The strength of the "brain duo" is still there, and it is still uncertain whether it can maintain excellent performance.
"I found that Jamie and Kevin were very compatible."
This is Changyang's new discovery.
Before, Braniff played on the left side, and Valdy played fewer times. The two were not on the court at the same time. Now they appeared together, and it seems that they have a tacit understanding.
Could it be because of their "gile friend" relationship?
When players have a very good relationship in private and like to stick together during training, they will definitely have some tacit understanding.
Wise nodded, "I often see them training together, and the team is always together every time."
"That's it. Let the two of them appear together next time." Zhang Yang agreed.
"But no matter what, it is acceptable to be able to escape from the Rome Olympic Stadium and complete the qualifying ahead of schedule, right? It's worth celebrating!" Wise opened his arms to Zhang Yang.
The two laughed and hugged each other.
———
Wise is right.
This match with Roma was so thrilling. Mir Volvo was suppressed by Roma in the whole game, and Roma had more than half time to lead, so the team almost lost.
But in the end, Mirwall drew 1-1 with Roma away, and in the last time, Roma was unable to score.
The process is thrilling, but the result is acceptable.
The home team Roma is a little unacceptable. They hope to defeat Mirvoor at home so that the group situation can improve. They have made a lot of preparations and didn't care much about the past round of the league. Roma fans have also made efforts to create a "terrifying away game" for their opponents.
What's the result?
1-1, the two teams finally tied.
After the game, Roma coach Spalletti could only say depressedly, "Now we are on the verge of hell and can't take a step back, so next, the team will prepare for the last two games with all our hearts, and we must strive to win all."
The Roman form is already quite dangerous.
At the same time as Roma's home court Mirvoor, Valencia and Donetsk miners also played a game. The final result was 2-2, and Donetsk miners finally got the first point.
This is good news for Roma, because Valencia lost two points, but the situation is still very unfavorable to Roma. Currently, in Group D, Mirvoor wins three wins and one draw in four games, ranking first in ten, Valencia wins two wins and one draw in four games, ranking second in seven points, Roma has only four points, ranking third, and finally Donetsk miners. Considering the victory and loss relationship between Roma and Mirvoor, Mirvoor has already locked in the qualifying spot in advance. So whether 100% of his energy will be invested in dealing with the remaining two games next becomes a difficult thing to say.
This has a direct relationship with Rome, and Mirvoor also has a game against Valencia.
Rome and Valencia are three points apart.
Roma also needs to compete with Donetsk miners and Valencia. It is easy to win against Donetsk miners. If they can defeat Valencia, they will have a chance.
Valencia needs to play against Mirvoor and Roma. If Mirvoor "released the water", even if Valencia loses to Roma, she can still hold the same points as Roma.
Of course, the most important thing in the competition between the two is that Roma can beat Valencia away. As long as he can beat Valencia, the initiative will be in the hands of Roma. The worst is that he has the same points as Valencia and the winning relationship is the same. When comparing the goal difference, Roma has no disadvantage.
This has nothing to do with Millwall.
Millwall advanced early after playing four rounds, and became the first team among the 32 UEFA Champions League teams to appear.
Zhang Yang's mood became a little relaxed.
Before the start of the season, most people were not optimistic about Millwall's European tour. History has proved that small balls will perform well once a season and it will be difficult to continue until next season, let alone participate in the Champions League, and it will be difficult to achieve any results.
Millwall had a similar experience.
In the 2003-2004 season, Millwall won the runner-up in the FA Cup to qualify for the UEFA Cup qualifiers. As a result, he was directly eliminated in two rounds of the qualifiers and was unable to even participate in the main competition.
The FA Cup runner-up is very different from the Premier League champion, but Millwall participated in the Champions League and faced European giants. In addition, the coach of Millwall lacks experience and prestige. He is too young and almost lacks everything from a successful head coach.
Millwall's Champions League trip has been widely questioned, and there are too many question marks hanging over Zhang Yang's head.
What's the result?
Zhang Yang led the team to play four rounds in the group stage and then locked in the qualifying spot in advance!
Mirwall almost made Valencia and Roma, who were in the same group, have no choice but to consider a possibility: "Will Mirwall also become a strong contender for the Champions League?"
They need to find the answer.
However, after the press conference, many European media were a little disappointed. When facing whether Mirwall would compete for the Champions League, Zhang Yang said in a 'fear', "Champion? No, that's too far away, I can't imagine it at all!"
"We qualified two rounds in advance and have done a good job. This was beyond my expectations and the whole team. I can only say that we have good luck, our opponents don't know us, they made various mistakes, we seized the opportunity and won several games."
"This match with Roma has allowed the whole team to experience the difficulty of playing the Champions League. This is a very meaningful game. It allows us to know how difficult it is to play the Champions League strong teams. It has taught the club an important lesson. This will help our future games. I can also imagine that Roma is so difficult to play, and what about Milan's two big players? Spain also has Real Madrid, Barcelona, Germany also has Bayern Munich. Even Manchester United and Chelsea in the same league have much more experience in European competitions than us. It is difficult for us to take a step forward..."
