Chapter 577 Zhang Yang's Small Abacus
Zhang Yang remembers Chelsea’s past two seasons. Novels.
To a certain extent, Mourinho led Chelsea without Mirwall's intervention, was still very successful. They would win more championships, and their overall results were much better than Liverpool led by Benitez.
But one thing is recognized: Mourinho's Chelsea plays Liverpool with difficulty.
The same is true for the two teams' record of fighting.
Liverpool cannot say that they will beat Chelsea completely, at least they have "did not suffer any losses", especially the victory in the Champions League confrontation, which has eliminated Chelsea directly.
Benitez's Liverpool is just unstable in the league.
Why?
Now that I see Liverpool making such a intensive defense at home, I can almost understand it.
Anyone must admit that Liverpool is the top club. Even if the record is worse, they have always been in the No. 1 group in the Premier League and have almost never fallen behind.
A top club has such conservative tactics and styles, and can intensively defend at home, completely ignoring the face of face, and letting the opponent play how to play? The two teams' games seem to be not fighting for tactics, strength and performance, and the completion depends on the patience of the players of the two teams.
Liverpool have better patience, maybe they can score a goal.
If Liverpool's opponent is not in a hurry, it will not be too difficult to end up in a draw, but as long as the team has a better performance than Liverpool, they will definitely not be willing to draw, and hope to win and will eventually fail.
"This game is probably out of the way."
Zhang Yang felt a little regretful. In the last four games of the league, Mirwall won all of them. He wanted to win five consecutive games, but he had no chance in the last game.
But there is no way.
Even though Millwall is strong and can play more refinedly than his opponent in tactics, and even with the magical power of "speaking and speaking", the opponents are not all vegetarian. Occasionally, they encounter difficult bones, and their luck is average, so it is normal to tie the game.
"If you haven't lost the game, maybe you can be called successful?"
Zhang Yang thought.
In the fifth round of the league, Liverpool and Millwall's match ended with zero-to-zero.
After the game, Zhang Yang shook hands with Benitez, and there was nothing to say. He was in a bad mood. After all, what he was looking forward to was winning, and he only drew with Liverpool in the end.
At the post-match press conference, Zhang Yang couldn't help but slammed, "I only saw one team working hard in the game, that's Millwall."
"Opportunity? No, this is not a normal game, it's like we're doing offensive drills."
"It's hard to imagine that the opponent is Liverpool."
"I'm very sorry for not contributing a fantastic game, but we've done well enough, with a 67% possession rate of the game, which is the answer we handed over."
"One point? Maybe it's acceptable, I just regret the process."
“…”
These words are actually not effective at all. Liverpool will not be affected, and Benitez will not adjust his tactics because of this. Zhang Yang just wanted to vent his anger and criticize Liverpool and Benitez, and put some pressure on the other party.
Millwall's grades are good enough.
Five rounds of the Premier League have passed, and Millwall can be said to be the winner.
He won four games in five games, tied one, accumulated 13 points, scored sixteen goals, averaged 3.2 goals, conceded two goals, and averaged 0.4 goals. The player with the most goals was Vardy, who scored five goals in person, and other players also scored more goals, achieving more points in front of the goal, showing a shocking attack ability.
Among the 20 Premier League teams, Millwall beat Arsenal with a goal difference and ranked first in the league.
Among other competitors, Manchester United has the worst results, draws two games and loses one game, and only accumulates eight points in five games; Chelsea draws one game and loses one game, and only ten points; Liverpool has only eight points in one game.
Millwall cannot be said to have widened the gap, but he has gained a considerable advantage in the opening stage.
The fifth round of the Premier League is a dividing line, marking the end of the intensive schedule of the start of the game. Next is an international match day. The media also has time to sort out the league situation, and Millwall received unanimous praise.
The Times will not miss the opportunity to tout the London Club. "Five rounds of the game, the top three in the league were occupied by London teams, with Millwall, Arsenal and Chelsea each occupying one place."
"Manchester United and Liverpool's performance are a bit bad, and they should probably find the reasons from themselves."
"In the past round of the league, many people have paid attention to the battle at Anfield Stadium, and the result is very disappointing. The home team Liverpool is defending the whole game. They seem to have worked hard to get another point from the first minute. In the end, they gained a point, but with such a passive state, it is very unrealistic to win the league championship. Even if they have thirty-eight draws (unbeaten), there are only thirty-eight points."
"Milwall's performance is much more pleasing to the eye. Their active offensive style has reason to be the first in the league. Compared to last season, they played smoother and performed better and better. No wonder more fans liked Millwall."
The Times summarized the five rounds of the competition and also selected the best team, with Valdy, Branif and Zambrota being selected one after another.
Many media reports are also filled with praise for Millwall players. The most topical players are forward Valdy and midfielder Braniff.
Vardy is the top scorer, with four appearances in five league games and five goals, and his performance is quite impressive.
Braniff is considered the "best player" by many media because his performance is so good. Five assists and one goal sounds incredible. Many teams failed to score six goals, not even Manchester United. The Red Devils only scored four goals in five games.
The two were also analyzed in detail together.
The media found that in many games, Vardy and Blaniff are prone to creating classic cooperation. They have a very tacit understanding, which cannot be explained by tactics, because there is no such tacit understanding between other players, Blaniff, Vardy and other players.
Of course, it can't be a problem of ability.
Everyone recognizes that the player with the best overall view of the Millwall team is the core of the midfield. The "core" refers to Morris. Perhaps there is a Sneider. Braniff is even worse than that, and Valdy is even more incomparable.
The tacit understanding between Vardy and Branif also created many opportunities. Three of Vardy's goals came from Branif's assists.
"Braniff and Valdy are the most perfect combination!" Manchester Sports News reported on this title.
Manchester Sports is not a good intention. They want to remind Manchester United that when playing against Millwall, they must pay attention to the cooperation between Braniff and Valdy.
The media may have a little more heart.
Zhang Yang has also received praise from the media, but compared to the praise from the team leader, the media seems to be more gossiping about emotional life, which is also unpleasant. Whenever Zhang Yang is mentioned in the report, it always leads to emotional life. Ivanka is a name that must be mentioned, as if the combination of Zhang Yang and Ivanka is a major event related to the future of football.
This also made Zhang Yang feel helpless.
What Zhang Yang is even more helpless is that on international match days, most of the players have to participate in national team competitions.
Millwall can be described as different from the past. There are four England internationals alone: Graham, Darren Ward, Morris, and Livermore.
Zhang Yang wanted to call McLaren and told him not to 'take care' Millwall's impulse.
The only good news is that Vardy was not on the roster. Perhaps McLaren was considering the issue of forward accumulation. With Rooney, Irving, Difoe, and Darren Bent, Valdy was selected, which means removing a name.
Who should be removed?
Wayne Rooney? It definitely doesn't work! Rooney is Manchester United's main force, a talented shooter in England. He is so famous that he will make people angry if he is not recruited.
Michael Irving?
Irving's condition is a problem and is constantly affected by injuries, but like Rooney, England's Golden Boys has a large number of fans. Even if they have not performed well recently, as long as they have no injuries, they will definitely be selected for the national team.
Difo?
Difo, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has maintained high efficiency in scoring goals for a long time and has finally been to the national team. It seems that it is not good to directly eliminate it.
Darren Bent?
McLaren doesn't want to get more pressure. Bente was the champion of the Champions League double scorer in the league last season, and he performed best after joining the national team, so McLaren had no choice. In fact, he is quite optimistic about Vardy, especially Vardy has been in a very brave state recently, scoring five goals in four league games, which is simply a goal machine.
However, there is no choice.
In addition to England players, the proportion of players in other national teams has been recruited even higher. Players such as Zambrota, Braniff, Sneider, Wes Morgan, etc. have all entered their respective national teams.
Most of the core players went to the national team. It was impossible for Mirwall to train normally. Zhang Yang carefully counted the heads and found that he could only form a team. Ten people stood on the court with sparseness and no training atmosphere at all. He simply put the team on two days, and he himself took the opportunity to spend more time with Ivanka.
Zhang Yang and Ivanka went to see the house together.
Beers Avenue is close to the Thames River, and is separated from the famous wealthy neighborhood "Kensington Palace Garden Street" with only one square. The housing prices here cannot be said to be the most expensive in London, but they are definitely quite high. The working class can only come and visit.
This is Zhang Yang's second time.
He had a plan to buy a house before, so he came here for a walk, but he didn't make the final decision, so it would be better to come with Ivanka.
The style of Beers Avenue and Kensington Palace Garden Street is similar, but the villa area built is relatively low, most of which are three-story houses, some are old houses that have been decades old, and some are newly built commercial houses.
Under the enthusiasm of the agent, Zhang Yang and Ivanka and his group visited several houses in a row. Finally, they took a fence on a three-story villa with a garden and iron fence. The villa has a large area and is decorated very well inside. You can check in directly. They also have their own gym and swimming pool. The iron railings around them are also very protective.
"Mr. Zhang Yang, you have a good attitude. The former owner of this villa is Mr. Meenko. His business has been in Manchester and his family has moved to the north, so he decided to sell it."
Zhang Yang didn't know who the so-called Mr. Meenko was. He only cared about how much the house cost, "How much is the quote?"
“Five and a half million pounds.”
The intermediary said the price, and seemed to think it was a bit expensive, and continued, "You should understand that this is a wealthy area. The land prices around it are very high, and have been rising in recent years. If you decide to buy it, I can talk to Mr. Maienko. If he knows that you want to buy it, I believe it will definitely be cheaper."
The group looked at Zhang Yang.
Ivanka whispered, "Zhang, let's take a look at other houses. The villa here is too expensive." She probably knew Zhang Yang's salary, and the money she earned in a year was not enough to buy this villa.
Zhang Yang just hesitated for a while and asked, "If I decide to buy, when will the procedures be completed as soon as possible."
The intermediary was quite surprised, "What? Did you decide to buy it?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
"Okay! You said the fastest? OK! I'll contact Mr. Meenko right away!"
Taking advantage of the call of the intermediary, Ivanka couldn't help but pull Zhang Yang's sleeve and frowned and asked in a low voice, "You really want to buy this villa? But more than five million pounds..." Even though he was from an upper class, Ivanka knew what more than five million pounds mean. Zhang Yang has only been working as a coach for a few years. It must be quite difficult to save up more than five million pounds. The main reason is that Zhang Yang bought it for himself. Because of his arrival, he decided to buy a villa for the wealthy. Otherwise, Zhang Yang would live in a three-story building, which was quite spacious and comfortable, which also made Ivanka feel very touched and guilty.
In Ivanka's opinion, Zhang Yang spent all his money to buy a villa.
Zhang Yang touched Ivanka's hair intimately and smiled, "It seems that you don't know me very well."
"I can still pay more than five million pounds." Zhang Yang didn't plan to explain carefully. He was afraid that Ivanka would worry. After all, the risk of leverage in finance was too great. In the eyes of others, he was like a lunatic.
Zhang Yang had already prepared funds, and he had his own considerations.
When he decided to buy a new house, he decided to buy a good one. The housing prices in the wealthy area in London are very expensive, but the wealthy area will not be disturbed and life will be much easier. He doesn't want Ivanka to suffer.
If you want to buy a house in a wealthy area, you will often exceed one million pounds. He asked Tagore to transfer part of the profits to his account early, but not much, only ten million US dollars.
After buying this villa, Ivanka can live in peace.
This is an important step in the development of relationships.
Ivanka lives in London with her children for a long time and lives with herself for a long time, and has the opportunity to win another top prize.
