Chapter 631 Sneijder who dominates the half
Since the end of the World Club Cup, Vardy has been in poor health. He has played games for the team continuously, and coupled with the jet lag, he has not been in good condition in training.
In Jodrick's assessment, Vardy's performance is very likely to be injured, not to mention whether he performs well or not.
Zhang Yang could only let Vardy rest.
In the game around Christmas, Suarez performed well, scoring two goals.
This also puts pressure on Vardy.
Playing for Millwall for more than two seasons, Vardy grew up very quickly, and he started as a substitute for Darren Bent. At that time, Vardy was still new and Darren Bent was a big star whom he could never imagine.
Last summer, Darren Bent left to join Tottenham Hotspur, and Vardy became the absolute main force. Even Luca Tony's arrival could not shake his leading scorer position.
During this process, Vardy also knew one thing very well: the only head coach Zhang Yang in the entire team is the most important, and no one else is important, they are all optional, including himself. Even if he is already the leading scorer, the league and the Champions League all rank first, but wasn't that the case last season?
The player who dominated the two lists at that time was Darren Bent, and Darren Bent also gained great reputation and was considered the world's top scorer. Then? Darren Bent transferred and left, and it was difficult to hear news in the media. Even if he performed well, he was the head scorer of Tottenham... So what?
The same is true for Millwall now.
Vardy is the leading shooter, but he doesn't think he is powerful, but instead feels great pressure on competition. He knows one thing: if he leaves Mirwall, there will be no difference with Darren Bent, and it will not have any impact, because Suarez grew up enough to replace him.
This is also the pressure on Vardy.
When he can play for the team, Vardy can't wait to play, and he needs good performance to maintain his position.
After finally helping to score a goal, Vardy was still quite excited and breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that his performance would be poor, and he was slowly replaced by other teammates.
The competitive pressure in the team is still very high.

After Vardy completed the goal, Millwall continued to suppress Liverpool's offensively, but Liverpool's defense was done well and the backcourt staff was also very close. Millwall could not find a chance for a long time.
The competition was very exciting.
Liverpool is not only defending, but can occasionally play beautiful counterattacks, posing a threat to Millwall's defense.
From this perspective, we can see the difference between a big ball club and a small ball club. After those small ball clubs that have been suppressed by Millwall are arranged in a defensive formation, it will be very difficult to rely on counterattacks to threaten Millwall. However, Liverpool is focused on defense, and pushing and counterattacks can still create threats.
Gerald contributed the most.
Gerrard is the core of the lineup, the captain on the field, and the spiritual leader of Liverpool. He has outstanding skills and extremely strong body. The most commendable thing is that he has a spirit of never giving up. When he gets the game, he will do his best to run and fight. Liverpool often plays reverse games, which is inseparable from Gerrard's fighting spirit and efforts.
Players like Gerald are something every coach wants to have.
Looking at Gerald's performance on the court, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be moved. He hoped that there would be such a player in the team, but it doesn't matter if he thought about it carefully. There is Morris, Braniff, and the young Sneider in the team. Sneider will be the core of the future. Braniff can still play for many years. If you add a core player in the midfield, it will be difficult to arrange it.
Gerald not only plays a great role in offense, but also plays a greater role in defense. He keeps running, reminding his teammates to stand, defend, and organize the backcourt defensive formation, which also makes Liverpool's defense more stable.
Millwall failed to find another chance in the first half.
After the second half began, Zhang Yang couldn't help but find a chance to help the team take the lead.
This time it was Pire's cross. Sneijder followed and pressed the penalty area and made a "drift shot". The ball failed to hit the force. It would have been put into the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper Reina, but with the blessing of "speaking and following the law", the situation was different.
While swinging his foot to shoot, Sneider felt that he was in very good shape. He swept the goal from the corner of his eye and kept his kick straight behind the ball. The football passed through the Liverpool defensive player in front of him and headed straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Reiner tried his best to save, but he still didn't touch the ball.
“goooal!!”
"Sneider! The Dutch star shot with a strong shot, helping Millwall lead Liverpool!"
Seeing Sneider finishing the goal, everyone else rushed out wildly, but Zhang Yang returned to the position and took a long sigh of relief and was not worried about the game.
In such an advantageous situation, he can't win the lead score, and he really has no good idea.

Liverpool began to worry.
Even in the away game, they don’t want to lose to Millwall. It’s best to win, but they fell behind at the beginning of the second half, and the situation is not very good. They have been adopting passive strategies, but the effect is not reflected.
What should I do now?
Liverpool is also thinking about this issue while constantly defending.
On the coach's seat.
Benitez was also thinking, the game on the court made him feel helpless, Mirwall's offense was too strong, with Valdy on the front line and Sneid in the midfield. The two worked together to make the offense very technical. In addition, their defense was also very stable. Liverpool occasionally had the opportunity to counterattack, and it was difficult to strike a substantial threat.
The biggest headache for Benitez is that Mirwall players are too efficient. They seem to be able to score the ball when they find an opportunity. Sneider just now had two players in front, plus goalkeeper Renner, and he could score the ball when facing three people. The Dutch are in a good state.
"This is Mirwall who is in poor condition in the media?" Benitez smiled bitterly in his heart, complaining that the media was too unreliable, but there was no good idea about the situation on the court.
Liverpool scored a pretty good start, scoring goals at the beginning and then defending patiently is the best way to deal with it.
Now that Mirwall is overtaken by the score, what else can I do?
Do you want the team to attack?
This idea changed in my mind and was abandoned by Benitez. Liverpool is not a team that is good at playing against the opponent. Even with Spanish golden boy Torres, the efficiency gap between him and Mirvoor is very large. It is unrealistic to attack. Perhaps the only thing that can be done is to invest more in the offense.
To attack, you have to sacrifice defense.
When Liverpool slightly strengthened its offensive, Millwall quickly took advantage of the threat to the penalty area to create an opportunity. Sneider wanted to throw away the defensive player from the outside of the penalty area and was knocked to the ground by the opponent's defender. Sneider stood up and stretched his arms twice, jumped on the spot a few times, and found that there was no problem, Millwall scored a free throw normally.
Sneider was also responsible for the free throw this time.
The football is about twenty-five meters away from the goal, and the distance is still a little far. Seeing that it was Sneijder's free throw, many players subconsciously felt that Millwall wanted to cooperate. Millwall's most impressive free thrower is undoubtedly Simpson, who is considered the successor of Beckham of England's team.
Millwall's other players also made some competition, but Sneider chose to shoot directly.
He kicked a high arc.
The football flew to the highest point and was spinning straight to the far corner. Reiner made a judgment, but when he jumped up, he found that his hands could not reach the ball. He was surprised and could only watch the football fall into the goal.
3 to 1!
Millwall expanded its lead!
Millwall fans cheered for the goal, and the cheers were mixed with the shouts of the name "Sneider". So far the game was going on, Sneider was the best player. He scored two goals and dominated the entire second half.
Sneider was also very happy.
In Millwall, there is a lot of competitive pressure. There are Morris, Braniff, Livermore, Lyonberg and other players in the middle of the midfield. He still dares not say that he has a main position because in many games, he uses rotation to play, especially in major competitions, the head coach is more willing to trust Morris, Braniff and other players.
Sneijder can also understand that his teammates performed well, but he also hoped that his performance would be better and his position would be more stable in the team.
Now that he can score two goals in a row, it will be too helpful to him.
This game is also very critical!
After the game is over, the media will definitely mention his name when reporting on "Milwall breaks the historical unbeaten record". Thinking of this, Sneider becomes even more excited.
