Chapter 398 Manchester United's five-year midfield strength

Zhang Yang rarely talks about Champions League goals in front of the media.

This is the first time that Zhang Yang talked about the Champions League "frankly" in front of so many media... Well, many British reporters who know Zhang Yang don't feel that "frankly" can be used to describe Zhang Yang's words, but other countries The media doesn't know!They felt that Zhang Yang was very sincere and what he said was very convincing.

But that's not it!

Millwall was able to qualify ahead of the group stage, which was a big accident. If they hadn’t tied with Roma at the last time, they would not have qualified one round ahead of schedule. There are no real giants in Group D. In the entire European football, Valencia is just 'Pseudo giants', in terms of Roma's historical performance, they can't even touch the edge of the giants. Beating these two teams in a row does not mean how terrible Millwall's strength is. Many teams can do it arrive.

If you want to compete for the Champions League, you must face the real giants.

AC Milan, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, etc., these are the opponents that Millwall may face, and it will become very difficult for them to take a step forward.

On the second day, while many European media reported that Millwall had qualified ahead of schedule, they also reported what Zhang Yang said in the face of the 'championship problem', and most of the media gave praise--
"Many young people will become a little arrogant after obtaining certain honors, but this young Chinese is still very sensible. He has seen what will be encountered in the future and anticipated difficulties in advance. He said in a low-key manner that Millwall is moving forward. It's hard to take a step..."

"Millwall is commendable for qualifying two rounds early, but it is undeniable that they are still a small club. This is not for history, but for the strength of the squad. Compared with other top European teams, Millwall The strength of the lineup is too bad!"

"Keep moving forward! Zhang Yang gave everyone the answers. Millwall has no definite goals. They can secure the qualifying places in the group ahead of time, and they still face the future rationally!"

"With the strength of Millwall's lineup, the goal of 'continue to move forward' is realistic. It is very difficult for them to compete with giants. We wish Millwall a good draw!"

"..."

The European media's praise for Zhang Yang is somewhat different, but the British media's analysis is completely different.

The British media has long had experience!

In the Premier League, Zhang Yang never talked about the championship. He set his goal very low. Last season, he said that Millwall was going to relegation. By the end of the season, he was obviously aiming for the championship. Some say they want to win the semi-finals.

Finally?

Millwall won the championship ahead of schedule!
This season is also the same. When asked about winning the championship, Zhang Yang said very low-key that the goal set by the team is the top six. Of course, the top four is better, mainly to participate in European competitions.

The results of it?
Millwall is still ranked first in the league so far!

In the summer, Chelsea spent more than [-] million euros in transfer fees. Manchester United also added Carrick. Coach Ferguson said that "C-Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and other stars have matured, and the new season will be different." Others The team is also gearing up and seems to want to do a big job. The media also predicts that the new season will be very lively. There are big-spending Chelsea, Manchester United who have gone through the transition period, and Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Everett. There are a series of strong teams such as Manchester United, Newcastle United, West Ham United, etc. As a result, Millwall is still the number one in the league. They only drew two games. While remaining unbeaten in the league, they also firmly occupy the league. Top of the standings.

This is the so-called 'strive for the top six' in Zhang Yang's mouth!
Champions League goals?

If Zhang Yang talked about getting into the top four or top eight, the British media didn't think much of it. He just said in a low-key way that the team needs to absorb experience and hope to draw a good lottery, which is really chilling.

Some British media are thinking, "Millwall won't really want to win the Champions League?"

This is really scary!

----

Millwall's participation in the Champions League seems to have nothing to do with other league competitors, but in fact, Chelsea, Manchester United and other teams are very concerned about Millwall's Champions League situation.

This is very important.

Any team must strive for the Champions League, not just for the Champions League. Teams that have no hope of winning the championship will also hope to play hard in every round, because the distribution of Champions League bonuses is directly related to the number of games played, wins and losses, and rankings , Every extra round of progress can bring huge monetary benefits to the club.

Participating in the Champions League will definitely affect the league. If Millwall's Champions League group qualification prospects are not good, it will definitely distract their energy, and they may not be able to play well in the league.

Manchester United is very concerned about Millwall's Champions League. After noticing that Millwall has qualified in four rounds ahead of schedule, head coach Ferguson is in a bad mood, because it means that Millwall doesn't need to distract themselves from the Champions League until February, and they can all Put your mind into the league.

Millwall ranks first in the league, and Manchester United only ranks second in the league.

This is unacceptable to Ferguson.

Manchester United has been silent for too long.

2003-2004 belonged to Arsenal's season. Arsenal led by Wenger beat Manchester United to win the league title with an unbeaten posture.

2004-2005 belonged to Chelsea's season. Chelsea, led by Mourinho, achieved surprisingly good results and beat Manchester United to win the league championship.

2005-2006 belonged to Millwall's season. As a newly promoted team, Zhang Yang led Millwall to win the championship miraculously. By this season, Manchester United could only rank third in the league.

Manchester United is the overlord of the Premier League!
As the dominant team in England, it has not won the championship for three consecutive seasons. The time has been too long. Many things happened in the middle of Manchester United. , but the strength of Manchester United has not changed, on the contrary, it has been strengthened. The young players have grown up. Ferguson believes that it is time to rise again and let the world witness the glorious arrival of Manchester United.

Before the season, Ferguson said to the media: "Compared to three years ago, we are a new Manchester United. We have undergone reshaping, which is not an easy task, because we have had too many honors before, which deeply It affected us deeply. During my time in charge, the squad changed five times, which has never been done before in the Premier League."

When Ferguson talked about the 'new Manchester United', he showed off that he had coached Manchester United for 20 years.

Of course, that is an undeniable achievement. There is no head coach in history who has coached a team for longer than Ferguson. According to normal logic, now that the "fifth remodeling" is over, Manchester United will usher in New glory, don't talk about the Champions League, the league championship should be won, right?
The results of it?
Manchester United is still ranked second in the league.

The only good news is that Manchester United suppressed Chelsea. Ferguson would have been a little happy if it was last season, but now he has discovered that Mourinho is not his main opponent.

Although I don't want to admit it, the old Jazz still knows that Manchester United's direct competitor is Millwall, and his opponent is the 23-year-old young Chinese!

The current situation is a bit unfavorable for Manchester United.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United's results were also good, with a record of three wins and one loss in four games, but the Celtics in the same group had six points, and Benfica also had six points. With the remaining two games, Manchester United did not If they cannot steadily qualify for the qualifying round, they must continue to work hard.

Millwall no longer has to think about the Champions League and can devote himself to the league.

This is the disadvantage of Manchester United.

When the fourth round of the Champions League group stage is about to end, Manchester United will also officially play against Millwall.

The Manchester United club is looking forward to the game, the media supporting Manchester United are also looking forward to the game, and Manchester United fans are also looking forward to the game, just because the two teams played against each other last season, Manchester United lost and drew one.

This game is also very important, related to the competition for the top of the league.

In the past ten rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United has eight wins, one draw and one loss, one point less than Millwall, ranking second in the league. As long as they can beat Millwall, they can rise to the first place in the league.

Many Manchester United supporters have been waiting for a long time!
Looking back at the Premier League in the past few years, from August 2003 to now, for more than three years, Manchester United has never experienced the feeling of being the first in the league.

How sad!
The feeling of being first in the league is almost forgotten by Manchester United fans.

Now is the last chance!

"As long as they can return to the first place in the league, Manchester United will definitely be able to persist until the end of the season and win the league championship!" Many fans believe that Manchester United can do it.

Many British media also cheered Manchester United——
"This season is Manchester United ushering in an explosive period. With the growth of Rooney and Ronaldo, the replacement of the old and new lineups is completed. They deserve good results!"

"At the beginning of the game, Millwall's performance was better, but it cannot cover up the excellence of Manchester United. This match at Old Trafford will become the beginning of Manchester United's new glory!"

"Manchester United is united as one, looking forward to the confrontation with Millwall!"

"'We have no reason not to win', Rooney showed full confidence in an interview. He believed that Manchester United will definitely win Millwall, and Manchester United will use this to lay the cornerstone of winning the championship!"

"..."

----

When Manchester United declared that they would beat Millwall, Millwall was also preparing for the game at Old Trafford.

This one is very crucial.

Zhang Yang is very aware of the league situation, Chelsea is no longer a direct opponent to win the championship.

Chelsea's internal conflicts are fierce. One Shevchenko is enough for Mourinho to have a headache. He did not win the championship last season and only won one league championship in two seasons of coaching. Abramovich will definitely not be satisfied. Prince Saad learned from his mouth that Abramovich was extremely dissatisfied with Mourinho, and the stability of the Portuguese's coaching position became a problem.

Therefore, it is difficult for Chelsea to perform too well. Millwall is going to compete for the league title, and the main opponent has become Manchester United.

Manchester United must not be underestimated.

Although Manchester United has not won the championship for three consecutive seasons and only ranked third in the league last season, there are actually reasons for it. The main reason is that in the past three years, Manchester United is in a transitional period of transformation. Old players have been eliminated. Players haven't fully adapted yet.

Manchester United has recovered this season, they have a solid lineup and better stars.

Wayne Rooney grew up.

C-Ronaldo has become extremely scary, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one star in the Premier League.

Midfielder Carrick is worth a lot and is seen as a replacement for Roy Keane.

With the addition of the above three veterans such as Giggs and Scholes, the strength of Manchester United's lineup is already quite terrifying.Millwall must treat it with the utmost caution to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

----

Due to the criticality of the game, Zhang Yang was relatively low-key before the game. He didn't talk about the game, but let the team focus on preparations. To remain unbeaten against Manchester United, the whole team must have a very good mentality, otherwise the next time they meet Manchester United, their mentality will be affected and the game will become more difficult to play.

Manchester United does not want to keep a low profile.

The main reason is that Manchester United coach Ferguson does not want to keep a low profile. He hopes to use the war of words he is good at to affect the state of Millwall. It would be better if it can affect the internal harmony of Millwall.

Two days before the game, Ferguson said, "I noticed the contest between Millwall and Roma. It was a very intense game. In the end, the best player in the game went to Totti, but if I had to choose, I would vote for it." Vote for Braniff, he only played 45 minutes, but he played a lot better than Totti. He is the key figure in deciding the result."

"He is a genius and a midfield master. If Braniff comes to Manchester United, he will become Carrick's best partner, will become the future of Manchester United, and will be Manchester United's midfield force for the next five years!"
