In the last twenty minutes of the game, Tottenham Hotspur continued to maintain the offensive intensity. In the last time, all the players surrounded and bombarded Millwall's defense line. .

Mirwall continued to defend firmly, with only Vardy staying in the front.

However, until the last minute, Vardy did not get any chance, and the corresponding Tottenham did not break through Mirwall's goal.

In the end, Millwall defeated Tottenham Hotspur four-2 in two rounds, won the League Cup semi-finals and got a ticket to the League Cup final. They will compete with Chelsea at the Wales National Stadium, the Millennium Stadium.

After the game was over, Zhang Yang took the initiative to shake hands with Tottenham coach Yoer, looked at the opponent's bitter expression and said, "You just lack a little luck."

"Maybe there is still a lack of strength, so it would be great if we could have a Vardy."

Joel joked in pain.

Zhang Yang laughed and didn't continue. After the routine handshake, it was a post-match press conference. Zhang Yang and Yoer entered the venue, but neither of them said much.

There is nothing to say about this game.

Millwall switched to defensive counterattacks, with the purpose of being more likely to win. Tottenham suffered a loss in tactical response, lineup strength, and some luck. The game has passed and the process is still complete, so there is nothing to say.

There is something worth talking about the players' performance. Zhang Yang praised Weston, "Curtis is very outstanding, I believe he will be Millwall's future."

Media reporters scoffed at this.

Millwall's future?

Millwall has a better Vardy. Vardy is only a few days older than Weston, and it is not Weston's turn to talk about the future. In addition, Weston only performed well in one game, and focused on the first half. By the second half, Weston had no performance. His outstanding performance was only that assist.

Just once, nothing can be proved!

Zhang Yang did not have to argue with the media reporters. He said that Weston is Millwall's future, from the heart, and Vardy is also very outstanding, but because it is so outstanding, how likely is Vardy to stay in the team?

Perhaps in two seasons, three seasons, Vardy will leave Mirwall.

This is a very normal situation.

Few stars play for only one team in their careers, and often those who are worthy of long-term players are the century-old giants, such as Manchester United, Milan, and Barcelona. There are many players who have played for a long time, but there are very few other players, including Mirwall.

No one can say about the future.

Even Braniff and Livermore can play for Milvoy for a long time, and it is hard to say how long they can play for Milvoy, even himself... Zhang Yang hasn't considered that far, but he is not sure that he can coach Milvoy for a long time. After all, the sky outside is so vast that one day, he may feel bored and want to change the environment.

Among the entire team, Curtis Weston is the one who has the most hope to stay in the team for a long time.

Weston is a real player trained by Millwall youth training. He is excellent but has not reached the level of "excessiveness". He can find a position in the team. It is not easy to continue to perform well.

Weston is not the kind of talented star who will suddenly rise.

It is precisely because Weston will not suddenly break out and has a lot of affection for Millwall that it is more likely to continue to serve for a long time.

So Weston is Millwall's future, which is not an exaggeration.

Even if you change to a head coach, players like Weston who are not optimistic about Weston's ability, players like Weston who have been branded with Millwall and help increase a youth training quota will not be easily given up.

After the semi-finals of the League Cup, there was a week of break. Zhang Yang waved his hand and gave the players two days off. When he got together again, Darren Ward and Concheski also returned.

The team's lineup is back-tied, which is good news.

But the lineup lasted only one day, and soon new injuries appeared again. Smitchell and Pire were defeated by the cold. Both veterans caught a cold, and they didn’t know whether it was a coincidence or something. It seemed that the cold had something to do with age. Fortunately, it was not an influenza cold. After two days of rest, they could continue to train with the team. However, in this state of physical condition, they must pay attention to care, otherwise the deepening of the cold would be a big problem.

Traore was injured in training.

Traore was deceived by Braniff while defending, and accidentally fell to the ground while twisting his waist and sprained his ankle. The doctor diagnosed that he would have to rest for more than half a month.

"You must be careful, don't move too much, don't get hurt!" After the afternoon training, Zhang Yang gathered all the players and told them in a key way, "The same goes for tomorrow's game. Try to pay attention to the movements. If you feel too tired, raise your hands and end the game immediately. I don't want to see someone who ends up getting injured because they are too tired or other predictable reasons."

"That's not just a team problem, you will be more affected by yourself!"

Zhang Yang was scared of injuries and illness.

Injuries are really a big problem. Small injuries are only one or two weeks, while major injuries are only one, two months, or even longer. Millwall's poor performance last month is because there are too many main injuries.

Now that most of it has recovered, he doesn't want to see the tragedy happen again.

In the next day's league, Millwall defeated Brackburn 2-1 away.

Millwall performed well overall, but Braniff was still the problem. He couldn't figure out when to dribble the ball and when to cooperate with his teammates.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as "unfamiliar with one's own abilities". The main reason is that Braniff's dribbling ability improves too quickly. Other players have begun to adapt step by step since their youth, forming a unique style in the near future, and finding a balance point when they cooperate with themselves to dribble the ball.

Branif has a bit of a "sucking seedlings", just like an ordinary person who suddenly accepts the passing skills of a martial arts master and suddenly gains a lot of internal strength, making it difficult to make a correct judgment when facing the enemy.

However, Braniff's performance was quite outstanding. Occasionally, a few exquisite outs are not good at Blackburn's defense. One of the goals was also scored by Braniff's assists. After the game, The Times scored Braniff with six points, which can only be considered a barely qualified data, but it was much better than the last appearance.

The commentator of "Sky Sports" commented on Braniff, "He is slowly regaining his state, but his personal style seems to have changed. He prefers to rely on his own abilities to solve problems..."

Many media have given Braniff a word - ‘independent’!

This is not a good adjective, and professional football does not like players being named "independent" style. This means that they do not like to cooperate with teammates, and it also means that they will lose more balls.

After the game, the media asked Zhang Yang, "Braniff performed poorly, why didn't he replace him?"

"I trust him!"

Zhang Yang said, "And it is my job to send whoever I want to show up, and no one can point fingers at my job!"

These two words to uphold Branif made the media give Branif the title of "Yangyang's illegitimate son".

That's certainly a joke.

Zhang Yang, no matter what the media said, he just showed everyone that Braniff is a player that focuses on training.

This is actually very normal.

Every team has 'focused players', such as Manchester United coach Ferguson, who often let young players such as Fletcher and Richardson appear, not to mention Arsenal coach Wenger, in order to train players such as Fabregas and Sendros, Arsenal paid a considerable price.

The key is that there are rewards to train players.

For example, Arsenal's Fabregas became the core of the midfield after being trained. Such a technical midfielder can replace Vieira in the past and become a heavyweight star, which also makes Arsenal no longer lack a core of the midfield.

Now Zhang Yang needs to train Braniff.

Braniff doesn't have to train like other young players. He does not lack strength and experience. He only needs to adapt to a few games and will probably perform well.

When Braniff adapts to the rapid improvement of his ability, he will become the best card in Millwall's midfield. In the future, Millwall will also have enough confidence to face his opponent with top superstars.

After the mid-month league ends, it is the international match day, with a ten-day interval.

There is good news this time.

Players such as Darren Bent, Quaresma have not been included in the rosters of their respective countries due to their previous injuries, so they can have time to make rest and adjust.

Zhang Yang reminded all players to take advantage of their rare free time to carefully adjust their physical condition, because Mirwal will soon face a difficult schedule-

The Champions League is here!

At the end of February, Mirwall will go through two major battles, one is at the Bernabeu Stadium, the Champions League quarter-finals with Real Madrid, and the other is the League Cup final with Chelsea.

Both games are crucial.

The match against Real Madrid is two days before the League Cup final. Relatively speaking, the Champions League is more important because it is a knockout round. If it is not played well in the first round, it may be eliminated by Real Madrid. The League Cup final is related to the trophy, but compared with the Champions League top 16, the League Cup trophy is not comparable based on the prize and influence. If it is to prepare for the League Cup final, it will definitely not be worth the loss if it loses the Champions League.

Mirwall and Real Madrid have little to do with each other.

One is a veteran La Liga club, the highest value club in the world, one of the world's top giants, and the other is a new crown in the Premier League. The dark horse of the Champions League this season has hardly ever participated in European competitions before. The two teams with such a huge difference will not have any chance to fight in history, let alone any grudges.

Many Real Madrid fans even heard Mirwall's name for the first time.

It's different with Christmas episodes.

Mirwall had no contact with Real Madrid before, but with the misunderstanding of "Calderon inviting Zhang Yang" that gave people a very interesting feeling. Zhang Yang publicly played with Calderon. Calderon seemed to have insufficient IQ and said controversial words.

Although Calderon did not have the names of Mirwall and Zhang Yang after Christmas, anyone knows that the new Real Madrid chairman hates Zhang Yang deeply, and Mirwall is also hated by the accompanying hatred.

When facing the European battle with Mirwall, Calderon will definitely ask head coach Capello to "win".

That is inevitable.

Conversely, Millwall will be very motivated to play when he meets Real Madrid.

Unlike Calderon who is unpopular in Real Madrid, Mirwall is Zhang Yang's "world". Fans, players and even clubs will express their absolute support for Zhang Yang.

Millwall Club, there will be no good impression of Calderon, who is "poaching", and Millwall fans will not.

Mirwall players also hope to defeat Real Madrid to let Zhang Yang face Real Madrid and Calderon. In addition, the Champions League is also pursued by any team, and Mirwall definitely hopes to continue moving forward.

This is the mentality of the two teams.

Zhang Yang himself said that against Real Madrid is not much different from other teams. If he can choose, he hopes that his opponent is a weak team.

Unfortunately, the lottery results cannot be changed.

Zhang Yang's impression has always felt that Barcelona is more difficult to play than Real Madrid, but after studying his opponent, he didn't think so. Real Madrid is able to beat Barcelona and rank first in the La Liga, but it is not achieved by luck.

Therefore, Zhang Yang's energy is focused on studying the style of playing.

As for the "personal grudges" with Calderon, Zhang Yang did not consider it at all, because he did not suffer any losses. The other party invited him and publicly refused.

That's all.

Things that the media hype make no sense at all.

A week before the match against Real Madrid, Mirwall was preparing for the game, and the coaching staff also studied and formulated omissions in formulating good play styles based on the characteristics of Real Madrid's recent games.
