Chapter 407
After Millwall beat Manchester United away, many media were discussing the game.

In the game, both teams showed something. Millwall performed strongly. Whether it was the 'dual-core' offensive in the first half or the defensive counterattack in the second half, they played quite sharply, but the biggest topic was not Millwall. , but the striker problem exposed by Manchester United.

Throughout the game, Manchester United was not at a disadvantage. Especially in the second half, Manchester United suppressed Millwall with offense, forcing Zhang Yang to make substitutions to strengthen defense.

This also created what is considered a textbook-like substitution strategy: Braniff and Simpson were replaced one after another, and Morris and Vardy appeared one after another.

After the game, the media commented on Zhang Yang's substitutions as "directly reversing the situation of the game" and "letting Millwall pass from passive to active". , they had more than enough possession and offensive initiative. But after the substitution was completed, the situation between the two sides reversed and Manchester United had to pay more attention to defense, and they were still one goal behind."

Zhang Yang was also praised by the media as having "excellent game insight".

This comment was scoffed at by the 'Zhang Yang fan group'.

In the understanding of the 'Zhang Yang Fan Club', Zhang Yang must have excellent insight, otherwise he would not have analyzed the game so thoroughly every time he served as a commentator, and most of the time he was very correct.

Some fans left a message on the Internet saying, "The queen mother of the media realized it later, and only now knows Zhang Yang's insight into the game."

"The news from the media is lagging behind!"

"Zhang Yang is able to lead Millwall to win so many games by relying on his excellent reading ability of the game."

"..."

Of course, the focus of media reports is still on Manchester United's striker. After watching the whole game, it is easy to see that Manchester United's striker is not capable enough. Rooney was very tightly defended and did not play a role. Faced with such a difficult defense, he is like a transparent person, without much sense of presence at all.

"Manchester United must improve their striker!"

"After Van Nistelrooy left, Manchester United's striker ability has become a big problem. Even if the midfield advantage is strong, without strong striker players, opportunities will be lost for nothing..."

There are also media who gave Ferguson 'suggestions', thinking that Millwall is the target of poaching, "Darren Bent, Vardy! Millwall has the first and second scorers in the league, and one of them goes to Manchester United. Everything is a problem That's all settled."

Next, the media focused on Vardy.

Darren Bent has nothing to analyze. Last season's silver boot in the league, this season, with his excellent performance, he secured the top scorer position and was also called into the England national team. His worth has naturally doubled.

The new issue of "French Football" has assessed Darren Bent's worth more than 1900 million euros. Considering that the assessment of "French Football" has nothing to do with commercial interests, and considering that Darren Bent is an English player, if If you want to buy Darren Bent, any club must prepare a transfer fund of 3000 million euros.

Darren Bent is famous enough that there is no need for further analysis.

Vardy is still a rookie.

Vardy's performance last season was also good. He was also the youngest in Millwall's first team. He also became the darling of the media for a while, but the gap with Darren Bent was too great.

Now the media regards Vardy as a real genius, and compares him with Rooney a few years ago. Vardy easily won in terms of performance. Many media suggested that Manchester United should consider winning Vardy, "Having Vardy Manchester United will not have to worry about strikers for the next ten years."

Looking at the report, Ferguson could only smile wryly.

The more the media hype, the harder it is for Vardy to win. Even if Millwall is willing to sell Vardy, his value will be quite high. Just think of Rooney a few years ago. He just emerged in Everton. The transfer fee is as high as 4000 million euros. Vardy performed better than Rooney and is about the same age as Rooney. Many clubs will see his potential and there will be many clubs to compete.

With the current financial situation of Manchester United, if Millwall agrees to sell, it will become very difficult to buy Vardy.

This has nothing to do with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang has also seen these reports. In his opinion, the media is suffering from paranoia, begging to buy Vardy?As long as he is at Millwall for a day, he will not agree to sell Vardy, let alone sell to Manchester United.

Vardy is the focus of training. His growth has just begun, and it feels too bad to sell it at a high price.

In addition, selling players is the club's business, and the income is also the club. He is just a head coach. No matter how high Vardy's worth is, no matter how much transfer fee he brings, it has nothing to do with him directly, and his team will lose a lot. famous genius.

This amounts to a direct loss.

So Zhang Yang would never agree to sell Vardy, no matter how much the media hype it, it doesn't make sense.

However, Vardy's performance is not bad. He doesn't seem to be affected by the outside hype. He comes to training early every day and is also one of the most hardworking players in the team.

On the contrary, Zhang Yang felt that it was time for the club to consider renewing the contract with Vardy.

In the summer, Vardy got a new contract, but his salary was still at a low level. The original definition of Vardy was, after all, just a backup striker. I didn't expect such an outstanding performance.

If you want to keep the hearts of players, salary contracts are very important.

Zhang Yang approached Wilkinson to talk about it.

Wilkinson also noticed the hype from the outside world, and immediately decided to keep Vardy with a high-paying contract, and contacted Vardy's temporary agent, his father Philip Vardy.

The two parties reached an agreement after talking for a morning.

The time for signing a new contract in the middle of the season is a bit wrong. The club decided to give Vardy a new contract with a weekly salary of 20.00 pounds, with an annual increase of 20%. The contract will officially start in May next year. This season Vardy can Enjoy a weekly salary of [-] pounds in advance, which will be distributed in the form of bonuses. Vardy's agent, his father Philip, also received a signing fee of [-] pounds.

During the settlement of Vardy's contract, Millwall played a League Cup, which was the fourth round of the English League Cup, that is, the [-]th round of the [-]th round.

Millwall's opponent is Chesterfield United.

Chesterfield United is a League One team. It is not easy for the third tier league to reach the top [-] of the League Cup, but their good luck ends here. When they meet Millwall , Chesterfield United know their cup run is over.

Facing a League One team, Millwall used a substitute lineup to easily win the opponent with three goals in the away game and advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.

Next, returning to the league, Millwall ushered in two consecutive home games, one against the nearby Fulham and one against the newly promoted Watford.

Millwall continued its strong performance and won two consecutive victories with big scores.

In the match against Fulham, the starting striker was Darren Bent, Smicer and Simpson partnered with the 'dual core', the overall performance was quite strong, Millwall played the advantage in the middle, Smicer and Simpson both He scored two goals, plus one goal from Darren Bent, and finally Millwall defeated Fulham with three goals.

When it came to the match against Watford, Zhang Yang swung his hand and made the rotation.

The starting striker has become Vardy, and the midfield dual-core combination has also become Braniff and Jody Morris. The game proved that Vardy and Braniff do have quite a tacit understanding. Three goals, wide players Quaresma and Koncheski also scored one each, the final score was [-]-[-], Watford was completely suppressed, and they almost raised their hands at the end of the game Surrender.

Millwall won two games cleanly, which also allowed the Premier League teams to see the strength of Millwall. The "Times" specifically mentioned, "Looking at the past leagues, Millwall seems to be particularly Good at playing against weak teams."

This view has been unanimously endorsed.

There were only thirteen rounds in the league. In Millwall's thirteen league games, seven big scores were created, against Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Tottenham, West Ham United, Watford, Reading and Fulham also scored three goals in the worst game, and the highest score was [-]-[-] in three games. Millwall also won by virtue of continuous big scores, and the goal difference was several blocks away from other teams. .

Why is this so?
Is Millwall's offensive ability so strong?
wrong!

After the No.13 round of the league, the British media conducted various analyzes and believed that Millwall's strong frontcourt was only one of the reasons for the big score.

In addition, a very important point is the oppression brought about by Millwall's 'dual core' tactics.

Last season, Millwall's striker was also good, but most of the games were normal and did not win a few goals. This season, Millwall used the 'dual-core' style of play to repeatedly suppress the opponent, making the opponent breathless. However, Millwall has the absolute initiative, coupled with the high efficiency of the striker, will lead to regular big-score wins.

Many people have experienced the horrors of Millwall.

Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and other teams are absolutely top-notch, but when they play in the league, they will not form an absolute suppression of weaker opponents, nor will they easily break through the opponent's goal. This team is also often defeated by the small ball.

Millwall was different.

So far this season, Millwall has only drawn against Chelsea and Charlton, and has won all other games, and there is basically no suspense from the beginning of the game against weak teams.

It also chilled the media.

Millwall seems to have the dominance of Barcelona in La Liga in the Premier League. When encountering small balls, they will often win by a large score, which means that opponents at the same level can create some pressure.

If Millwall can continue to perform like this, even if they lose to opponents such as Manchester United and Chelsea, they will be able to successfully defend the league title by virtue of their 'no mistakes in games against small clubs'.

So what hope is there for other teams?
Surely not!
The British media didn't want to see Millwall easily win the league, so they spontaneously discussed the topic of 'how to beat Millwall'. Soon this topic became a hot topic in the UK and even radiated to Europe, and it also made many One has a feeling--
Millwall seems to have become the public enemy of the Premier League! ?
