Millwall's 451 "dual core parallel position" style is a flexible tactic. The focus of the offensive is that the football can transfer quickly and the connection between the side and the middle lane is closely linked, but the tactics are dead, people are alive, and tactics cannot determine everything. When the game is required to be conservative, the overall situation is still conservative, and flexibility is difficult to reflect.

At the 26th minute of the game, Zhang Yang walked to the sidelines and called Morris on the court, reminding him to explain some changes to others.

Zhang Yang gave a warning for half a minute, and the game was going on, and the impact was quite big. Everton penetrated the middle and almost found an opportunity outside the penalty area. Fortunately, Livermore's defense was still timely, and he drove the ball out of bounds at an emergency.

Morris returned to the court and told others about Zhang Yang's advice.

Millwall's adjustment is very simple. You have to play more flexiblely and you will definitely not be able to continue to advance on the ground. That is a conservative strategy. They need to look for opportunities on the wings and play the cooperation between the two wings and the middle lane. In addition, Livermore also needs to insert more. It sounds very complicated, but in fact it is very simple. It is to let the two wings and the midfielder play out, give enough support to the frontcourt and add enough offensive points.

As long as you can use the offensive characteristics of each position in the 451 formation, you will naturally have flexibility. Each position in the midfield and frontcourt is a firepower point, and it will be very difficult for Everton to defend.

This is actually a bit risky.

Millwall's two formations, 451 and 352, are both dual cores, and they emphasize offense. As long as they attack, the defense will definitely be weaker.

Zhang Yang believes that the team can "fight". At present, Everton is only "stable" overall. The defenders pay more attention to defense and do not give the opponent's forward opportunities, so it will be difficult for them to score.

The game continued next, and Millwall's offensive increased significantly.

From the 28th minute to the 30th minute, Milvo attacked for nearly three minutes in a row, almost playing around Everton in the middle. The most beautiful time in the middle was the cooperation of Pire, Braniff and Simpson. Pire passed the ball to the middle, and Braniff gave Simpson a kick. Two consecutive crosses made the offensive center of gravity suddenly shift. Everton had no time to block the right, and almost let Luca Tony in front seize the opportunity.

Although there is no goal, the adjustment can be seen.

Off-site media also analyzed—

"Zhang Yang seemed to have made adjustments, and Millwall's offensive gradually came out."

"Everton was very passive. Facing Millwall, their defense was a little exhausted when facing the rapid change in the center of gravity of the left and right offensive centers!"

"This is Millwall's goal. Among the twenty Premier League teams, only in Millwall can we see the smooth connection between the two wings and the middle lane!"

"Milwall's tactics, relying on transmission, have the effect of having David Beckham, and they can quickly transfer football from one way to another!"

"Everton is in a bit of danger!"

“…”

Millwall relied on his flexible playing style to play some advantages in the situation, but there is a saying in football games that "get the ball but not get the ball". If you continue to play the advantage and continue to attack, you may not necessarily score goals. Millwall not only fails to score goals, because Everton consciously strengthened his defense and even had fewer shots. Most of the offensives reached the front of the penalty area and were directly intercepted.

Looking at the situation on the court, Zhang Yang couldn't help but frown.

Everton is really hard to fight.

Millwall's offensive flexibility has increased and the midfield's control ability has increased, but Everton has also strengthened his defense with the flow, making it difficult to score.

Zhang Yang thought carefully for a long time and decided to play "more flexible".

He chose to substitute.

In the 35th minute of the game, Millwall made a substitution adjustment, and captain Morris on the field came off the court, and Sneider came on the bench.

"Substitution?"

"Milwall wants to substitute? Morris?"

"Why should Morris be replaced?"

“…”

This substitution makes many people unable to understand.

Morris is the captain of Millwall. He has always been a core player of Millwall. He has a very strong leadership ability on the court and has performed well so far. It is a bit strange to be replaced.

Also, now a replacement?

The first half is not over yet!

Zhang Yang doesn't think so much. He has absolute control over the team. Unlike other coaches, he needs to consider the emotions of the players when he sees problems and makes adjustments.

In order to win the game, it is also important to make substitutions as soon as possible.

Morris is the captain, he performs well, but he is currently playing more flexible. If you want to find more opportunities, Morris, who is more "conservative" in style, will not be suitable for him to stay on the court.

If it was last season, Millwall could only bite the bullet and fight a war of attrition with his opponents. Now it will be different. The team has Sneider with better skills.

Sneider and his teammates are not as good as Morris, but his personal abilities are excellent, especially his coordination and organizational offensive ability as the core overall are stronger than Morris.

Morris is more suitable for playing in the back midfielder. He has strong defensive ability. If he is in the back midfielder, Zhang Yang will definitely choose Morris.

Sneider is a back midfielder, and his front midfielder is good, and his offensive ability is stronger than Morris.

Morris was also a little confused about his replacement. He was not worried that Zhang Yang was targeting him. He was Millwall's "old minister" and Zhang Yang's "old minister". He had a good relationship on weekdays and could not target him at all.

He still has confidence in this regard.

Now there is nothing we can do if we are replaced. When we are over, he clapped Sneijder and Zhang Yang still walked over to Morris, "You have a rest, we need a more flexible attack!"

Morris nodded.

In fact, Morris was also a little concerned, mainly because of the position relationship. He was not worried about position before. With the rise of Braniff, Sneider joined the team differently. He knew that neither of them was worse than him. Braniff's personal performance was quite strong. Sneider had similar styles to him, and his feet had more flexible skills, and was also his biggest competitor.

Sneider and Braniff are both young.

In the future, they will definitely be the absolute main force, and as they get older, they will definitely give up their positions.

This is a bit sad.

But professional football is like this, and any player must accept reality. Fortunately, it is still too early for Sneijder to completely replace himself.

The coach decided to replace him, right?

Zhang Yang's role in Sneijder's appearance is actually not 100%. He privately used "Speaking Spirit Divination" to study the lineup strategy and found that Sneijder and Morris had almost no difference in overall strength. It can only be said that Sneijder focuses on offense and Morris focuses on defense.

Perhaps Sneider will have a chance to surpass Morris in the future, but it will definitely not be the current one who has just entered the top five leagues.

The substitution is also a test opportunity now. Theoretically, Sneijder's appearance will make his overall offensive ability stronger.

Soon Zhang Yang frowned again.

He found the problem.

After Sneider appeared, his offense changed. For example, Sneider and Piret cooperated well, and he occasionally passed good balls, but it was not very helpful to the overall situation. The team was still a little "at the ball but not the ball". With control over the football, it was difficult to break through Everton's strict defense.

Why?

Zhang Yang is a little confused.

In the next ten minutes, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines patiently and watched carefully. He rarely stood on the sidelines for a long time to watch the game, and usually sat in the coach's seat.

This shows seriousness.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Zhang Yang recovered and he almost discovered the problem-

Sneider, Braniff.

When Morris was on the court, the problem lies in the conservative style of Morris; when Sneider appeared, the problem became, and the cooperation with Braniff.

After all, Sneider is a new player. He does not cooperate well with the old players and has problems with his cooperation habits. For example, he tends to pass on to wing players. Braniff and Sneider are not familiar with him, and he also prefers to cooperate with Simpson.

Millwall played flexibly enough on the wing, but the wing is always on the wing. If you want to score a goal, you still have to go to the middle and find opportunities in the penalty area.

The two cores are accustomed to finding wing players to cooperate, which will greatly weaken the advantages of the dual-core parallel positioning.

Intermission.

Zhang Yang directly called Braniff and Sneider in the locker room, talking about the habits of the two on the court-

"You must strengthen cooperation!"

"Pass the balls to each other more! Don't always stick to the edges! If you have the chance, pass the ball horizontally."

"We need to play two central advancements!"

"This will also give you a chance behind you!"

Behind Zhang Yang said that Livermore is Livermore. Sneider and Braniff cooperated to strengthen the communication will make the midfielder smoother and attract enough defensive attention. Livermore inserted behind him will have a chance.

on the contrary……

When the two of them stand in a side position, Livermore is the only one in the middle, and they will be besieged by the other party when they go up. It is too difficult to find an opportunity.

On the other side, Everton dressing room.

David Moyes emphasized defense. Everton was preparing to play steadily. "Stability" does not mean conservative, but changes with the opponent's style. Defense must be paid attention to. At the same time, as long as you have the opportunity, you can advance and entangle with your opponent in a constant way of adapting to changes.

This is what Everton is good at.

Everton's style is very similar to Liverpool, and perhaps it is because he went out to Liverpool City. Both teams have a "stable" defense.

You are not afraid of playing against each other, and your opponent is not afraid of being tough. You are the main focus of "stability" throughout the whole process, with a stable defense, and you can score consecutive goals as long as you find an opportunity.

Millwall played in the first half not aggressively, but it put a lot of pressure on Everton's defense. The players on the court realized it, and head coach Moyes also saw it very clearly.

Now that there is time to adjust, Moyes continues to emphasize stable defense.

Everton doesn't need to pursue victory.

The outside media are talking about Everton having a chance to stop Millwall from defeat, but what does that have to do with Everton?

The most important thing at the moment is to get points. Everton is ranked downstream in the league. It is absolutely acceptable to get one point from Millwall, the top of the league list, as long as he can defend until the end of the game.

Moyes also did not give up the chance to win. Their offense relies on Andy Johnson and Cahill. If you have the chance to go forward and kick, you may be able to complete the goal.

The tactic is that simple.

Moyes has a lot of coaching experience. He is very clear about football games. To put it bluntly, luck is sometimes more important than strength. If a player shows it, he will decide the outcome with one kick in front.
