Ipswich's head coach is Joe Royle.

Since his fifteenth year, Joe Royle has been a famous genius in the Everton Youth Army. When he first played for Everton, he had just celebrated his 17th birthday. After that, his career has been smooth and he has also entered the England national team. He is considered one of the best shooters in English history.

After retiring, Joe Royle became a coach, and it has been 20 years since now.

Compared with those world's top coaches, Joe Royle's coaching career has not been smooth, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he has been able to coach the Championship team for a long time in recent years.

Joe Royle's coaching style is what many people talk about.

In his player age, Joe Royle was a forward who advocated offense. After serving as head coach, he emphasized defense, and the team's style became conservative.

This contrast is considered, ‘Royle is a striker and he knows how easy it is to score a goal’.

At this time, Joe Royle's face became solemn.

Since the beginning of the game, he has never cared too much, just like Zhang Yang said 'the game is under control'. He also thinks so. He doesn't think he will lose to a young man in his early twenties and has no professional player experience.

This Millwall is in chaos.

Ipswich is trying to take advantage of the chaos of his opponent to easily get the first three-pointer after Christmas.

Joe Royle has been thinking this way, but now he can't feel at all because Millwall scored, Kevin Kiel kicked the ball into Ipswich's goal

This also kicked Joe Royle in the face.

Joe Royle won't lose his composure, anything can happen in football games.

He just doesn't understand a little.

Is this just Mirwall's balloon, or is it all expected by the young Chinese?

Under normal circumstances, Joe Royle would definitely think it was a balloon of luck, but since the beginning of the game, Royle has also been observing carefully that no matter how dangerous Millwall is or how good the opportunity he has achieved, the expression of the young Chinese has not changed.

Smile lightly.

calm.

This is not a young coach who has just taken office, and he should have the performance in the face of fierce competitions.

"Maybe he has such a personality?"

"It can only be explained by luck balloons!"

———

Kevin Keel's goal is of course considered a balloon of luck.

Zhang Yang did not interfere in the team's tactics, nor did he adjust the game. Millwall's goal was completely a performance of the players on the court.

Perhaps it is also related to arranging the starting lineup and making the lucky one of "Yan Ling Divination" evaluated as "Auspicious". Better luck is always easy to score goals, but "luck" itself represents luck.

The reason why Zhang Yang was able to remain calm was because he knew in advance what would happen.

But in fact he was still a little excited.

This is his first game since he officially became the head coach, and the outcome is really important.

He has the confidence to lead the team to win, but goals are always exciting.

However, Zhang Yang remained calm because he knew that his identity had changed. If he was a "match instructor", he could be as celebrating as the fans. He is now the team's head coach and must control his emotions at any time. Even if he scored a goal, he needed to keep a clear mind at any time so that he could make judgments and adjustments at any time.

The game continues next.

Neither team made any adjustments, and the game situation will not change much because of the goal.

Millwall is still seeking offensive suppression, while Ipswich still maintains a steady defense, and comes with a wave of attacks from time to time to threaten Millwall's goal.

This situation is quite unfavorable to Millwall.

Alders began to worry again, worried that the goal would be broken by Ipswich and the opponent would tie the score near.

Zhang Yang said, "Calm down, Alders, of course I know it's dangerous now, but now is not a good time. We must at least go to the midfield to make adjustments."

Alders thought about it and it was right.

The game is still going on now, and it is impossible to make major adjustments. Then he forced himself to stay calm, sat back on his position, and began to think deeply about emotional issues.

He felt that he was too nervous.

Although he had participated in the competition with the team before, it was the first time he was the "first assistant coach". He hoped that he would win the first time.

Alders couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang Yang.

This young man in his early twenties was really calm and surprising. The opponent may be under greater pressure because he is the team's head coach. He not only faces the game, but also faces the pressure from the media, fans and the club if he loses.

The difference in mentality between the two is too big.

"There is some reason why the club decided to let him be the head coach," Alders thought.

The follow-up games in the first half were spent in a difficult situation.

In the last five minutes, Ipswich's two waves of offensives made it into the penalty area and completed three shots from the penalty area and outside, but still failed to break through Mirwall's goal.

Millwall fans breathed a sigh of relief and they could spend a stable midfield time.

Millwall players returned to the locker room with some fear.

After a tense first half, each player was somewhat tired, and he started to rest when he returned to the locker room. Some people were talking about the game, but most of them were related to defense.

The door to the locker room was opened.

Zhang Yang walked in and Alders followed behind.

Everyone looked over.

Although Zhang Yang is the head coach voted by the players, most players actually don’t care, because Zhang Yang is really young and it’s hard for them to believe what he can do.

Zhang Yang no longer had a signature smile, and there was still a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows.

After entering the locker room, he glanced left and right, stood in the middle, then waved to the surroundings, and said, "Come here, be sure to listen carefully. Let's start explaining the second half of the game."

Many players are interested.

Although Zhang Yang is the team's head coach, it is definitely the first time he has explained tactics and playing styles.

Zhang Yang looked at the players around and first summarized the first half with a serious expression, "We were very dangerous in the first half. You can also feel in the game that our opponents have always had opportunities, and the goal seemed to be able to be broken at any time, but we finally held on and scored a goal. Everyone performed very well."

Many players nodded.

Zhang Yang continued, "But now is not the time to celebrate, we must work hard to maintain our advantage. So in the second half, we have to strengthen our defense."

"Everyone should have some understanding of Ipswich, but perhaps not many people know about their specific playing style..."

Next, Zhang Yang began to talk about Ipswich.

"Ipswich is a team that is good at defensive counterattacks. They often stick to the defensive counterattacks when they are behind. Unless there is no hope at all, they will not really attack. The way they seek to score goals is roughly relying on counterattacks."

"Let's talk about their offense. In the past games, Ipswich mostly attacked from the right. Perhaps because their right-hand side Gelt is a star player, their habit is to rely on the right side, and to score at the front end, they rely more on the left forward Brand. This way of changing left and right roads is also what they are good at, and we must pay attention to this."

"In addition, when they advance head-on, they often form a triangular attack in the middle. The attack and defense style are very stable and quite troublesome..."

Zhang Yang began to talk about it in detail.

At the beginning, everyone was not very serious about listening. A "amateur layman" talked about football tactics and playing styles, and he felt that it was meaningless, but as the analysis gradually deepened, everyone became serious.

They were also quite surprised.

Most people have always felt that this young Chinese person does not understand professional football at all, but does not understand professional football. Can he say such a detailed tactical analysis?

Zhang Yang kept saying it seriously.

As the saying goes, "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." He couldn't do this tactical analysis, but it was only after several hours combined with the first half of the game.

It comes in handy now.

After explaining to the players that Ipswich is good at and letting the players targeting the position pay attention, Zhang Yang began to talk about defense. "Our formation needs to retreat a little, and the first half is too open. Now we have an advantage in the ball. As long as the opponent is not in a hurry to attack, we are not in a hurry. This is our general way of playing."

"I won't talk much about the offense. You must pay attention to defense, especially on the left and middle lanes. You must keep people at any time. The opponent's key players must also focus on defense."

Zhang Yang said something more.

The key is the front, allowing players to understand the offensive methods Ipswich is used to, and can help them conduct more effective defense. There will be few talks later. The summary is one meaning: strengthen defense.

As for how to strengthen defense, players need to play freely on the field.

Zhang Yang has been the head coach for one day.

He didn't have time to understand the team's tactical details, and it was impossible for him to guide him to arrange the details of the defense one by one.

Despite this, everyone still looked at him with a high look.

Before, everyone thought Zhang Yang didn’t understand tactics, but he just had excellent game analysis skills. Now many people have changed their views.

He is also very good at arranging tactics!
