After Millwall defeated Manchester United away, many media were discussing the game.

During the game, both teams showed some things. Millwall performed strongly. Whether it was the "dual core" offensive in the first half or the defensive counterattack in the second half, they both played very sharply, but the biggest topic was not Millwall, but the front line problem exposed by Manchester United.

Looking at the whole game, Manchester United was not at a disadvantage, especially in the second half, Manchester United suppressed Millwall with offense, forcing Zhang Yang to make substitutions and strengthen defense.

This also created a substitution strategy that is considered a textbook: Braniff and Simpson were replaced one after another, and Morris and Valdy appeared one after another.

After the game, the media commented on Zhang Yang's substitution, "directly reversed the game situation" and "making Millwall go from passive to active". Manchester Sports News specifically analyzed, "Before the substitution, Manchester United has a very big advantage. They have enough possession and offensive initiative. But after the substitution was completed, the situation between the two sides reversed, and Manchester United had to pay more attention to defense, and they were still one goal behind."

Zhang Yang was also praised by the media for "having excellent game insight".

This comment was scoffed at by the "Zhangyang Fan Club".

In the understanding of the "Zhangyang Fan Club", Zhang Yang must have very outstanding insight. Otherwise, he would not have been a commentator every time, and he would have analyzed the game so thoroughly, and most of the time he said it very correctly.

A fan left an online message saying, "The media queen is aware of it, and now she knows Zhang Yang's insight into the game."

"The media news is behind!"

"Zhang Yang relies on his excellent reading ability to lead Millwall to win so many games."

“…”

Of course, the focus of the media reports is Manchester United's forward line problem. Looking at the whole game, it is easy to see that Manchester United's forward line is insufficient. Rooney was defended very closely and did not play any role. Sakha's performance is very weak. He doesn't need to deal with any difficult defense. He is like a transparent person and has no sense of existence at all.

"Manchester United must improve the front line!"

"After Van Nie left, Manchester United's forward ability became a big problem. Even if the midfield advantage is strong, without a strong forward player, the opportunity will be lost in vain..."

There were also media 'proposal' for Ferguson, believing that Millwall is the target of poaching. "Darren Bent, Vardy! Millwall has the first and second league scorers, one of whom went to Manchester United, and all the problems were solved."

Next, the media focused on analyzing Vardy.

Darren Bent had nothing to analyze. Last season's league silver boots, with their excellent performance this season, have secured the top spot in the scorer list, and were also recruited into the England national team, and their value has increased.

The new issue of "French Football" has evaluated Darren Bent's value for more than 19 million euros. Considering that the evaluation of "French Football" has nothing to do with commercial interests, then consider that Darren Bent is an English player. If you want to buy Darren Bent, any club must prepare 30 million euros of transfer funds.

Darren Bent is famous enough, so there is no need to analyze it.

Vardy is still a newcomer.

Vardy performed well last season, and was the youngest in Millwall's first team. For a while, he became the darling of the media, but the gap with Darren Bent was too big.

Now the media regards Vardy as a real genius and compares him with Rooney a few years ago. Vardy easily wins in performance, so many media suggest that Manchester United should consider winning Vardy. "Manchester United, which owns Vardy, will not have to worry about the front line in the next ten years."

Ferguson could only smile bitterly as he looked at the report.

The more hype the media, the harder it will be to win Vardy. Even if Mirwall is willing to sell Vardy, his value will be quite high. Think about Rooney a few years ago. He just emerged in Everton, and the transfer fee was as high as 40 million euros. Vardy performed better than Rooney, and he was about the same age as Rooney back then. Many clubs will see his potential and there will be many clubs to compete.

With Manchester United's current financial situation and Millwall agrees to sell it, it will be very difficult to buy Vardy.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang also saw these reports. In his opinion, the media was suffering from paranoia and was looking to buy Vardy? As long as he was in Mirwall for one day, he would not agree to sell Vardy, let alone sell it to Manchester United.

Vardy is the target of training. His growth has just begun. No matter how much he sells it at a high price, it feels like it is too much of a loss.

In addition, selling players is the club's business, and the income is also the club. He is just a head coach. No matter how high Vardy is, no matter how much transfer fees he brings, it has nothing to do with him. His team will lose a genius.

This is equivalent to direct loss.

So Zhang Yang would never agree to sell Vardy, and no matter how much the media hype it up, it would be meaningless.

However, Vardy performed well. He seemed to be unaffected by the outside world. He came to train early every day and was also one of the most diligent players on the team.

Zhang Yang felt that it was time for the club to consider it and renew his contract with Vardy.

In the summer, Vardy got a new contract, but her salary was still at the bottom. The definition of Vardy was just a substitute striker after all, and she didn't expect that she would perform so well.

If you want to keep the player's heart, a salary contract is very important.

Zhang Yang found Wilkinson and talked about this.

Wilkinson also noticed the hype from the outside world and immediately decided to keep Vardy with a high-paying contract, and got in touch with Vardy's interim agent, his father Philip Vardy.

The two sides reached an agreement after a morning of talks.

The time for signing a new contract in the middle of the season is a bit wrong. The club decided to give Vardy a new contract with a weekly salary of 40,000 pounds, which will increase 20% of the contract every year. The contract officially starts in May next year. This season, Vardy can enjoy a weekly salary of 30,000 pounds in advance. The money will be paid in the form of a bonus. Vardy's agent, his father Philip, also received a signing fee of 200,000 pounds.

During the settlement of Vardy's contract, Millwall played a League Cup, which was the fourth lap of the English League Cup, which was the 16th and 8th game.

Millwall's opponent is Chesterfield United.

Chesterfell United is an English League One team. It is not easy to reach the top 16 of the League Cup in the third-tier league, but their good luck has come to an end. When they meet Millwall, Chesterfell United knows that their Cup journey is over.

Facing a League One team, Millwall easily won his opponent with three goals away from home and advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.

Next, he returned to the league and Millwall ushered in two consecutive home games, one against the nearby Fulham and the other against the newly promoted Watford.

Millwall continued his strong performance and won two consecutive big wins.

In the game against Fulham, the starting striker was Darren Bent, and Smitchell and Simpson were in the "double core". The overall performance was quite strong. Millwall scored an advantage in the middle, and Smitchell and Simpson scored two goals. Add Darren Bent's goal, and Millwall finally defeated Fulham with three goals.

When it came to the game against Watford, Zhang Yang swung his hand and rotated.

The starting forward became Vardy, and the midfield double-core combination also became Braniv and Jodi Morris. The game proved that Vardy and Braniv did have a good understanding. The two worked together to help the team score three goals. The wingers Quaresma and Koncheski also scored one. The final score was 5-0. Watford was suppressed and could not find his form at all. In the end, they almost raised their hands to surrender.

Millwall won two games neatly, which also allowed all Premier League teams to see Millwall's strength. The Times specifically mentioned, "Looking at the past leagues, Millwall seems to be particularly good at playing against weak teams."

This view was unanimously recognized.

The league only took thirteen rounds. Millwall created seven big scores in thirteen league games, namely Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Watford, Reading and Fulham. The worst game also scored three goals, and the highest score was three games, five to zero. Millwall also won with continuous large scores, and the goal difference exceeded other teams by several streets.

Why is this happening?

Is Millwall's offensive ability so strong?

wrong!

After the 13th round of the league, the British media conducted various analysis, believing that Millwall's strong frontcourt strength is only one of the reasons why he can win with a big score.

In addition, a very important point is the suppression brought by Millwall's "dual core" tactics.

Last season, Millwall's forward line was also good, but most of the games were normal and he didn't win a few goals. This season, Millwall used the "dual core" style to repeatedly suppress his opponents, making his opponents breathless. Millwall has absolute initiative, and coupled with the high efficiency of the forward line, it leads to frequent large-scale wins.

Many people understand the horror of Millwall.

Teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal are definitely top-notch, but when they play the league, they will not impose absolute suppression on weak opponents, nor will they easily break the opponent's goal, so several teams are often defeated by small balls.

Millwall is different.

So far this season, Millwall has only drawn Chelsea and Charlton, and has won all other games. Moreover, there is basically no suspense from the beginning when playing against weak teams.

This also made the media feel heartbroken.

Mirwall seems to have Barcelona's dominance in La Liga in the Premier League. When encountering small balls, they often win with big scores, which means that opponents of the same level can create some pressure.

If Millwall can continue to perform like this, even if they lose to Manchester United, Chelsea and other opponents, with the result of "no mistakes in the game against the small ball", it will be enough to successfully defend the league championship.

So what hope does other teams have?

This certainly won't work!

The British media do not want to see Millwall win the league easily, so they spontaneously discussed the topic of "How to defeat Millwall". Soon this topic became a hot topic in the UK, and even radiating to Europe, which made many people feel-
Chapter completed!
