Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 409 No Contrast No Harm

The Italian media hopes that Millwall will not release water. Only when Millwall beats Valencia can Roma qualify. Otherwise, as long as they fail to beat Shakhtar Donetsk, they will even challenge Valencia away. None of the qualifications.

The Spanish media held an indifferent attitude.

Valencia's qualifying situation is good enough.

This game doesn't matter at all. In fact, as long as Rome can beat Shakhtar Donetsk, the game between Valencia and Millwall will become irrelevant. In the last round, Valencia will definitely be able to qualify for the group stage as long as they do not lose to Rome for the remaining places in the competition with Rome.

The Spanish media still hope that Valencia can win, because Valencia can also represent a part of Spanish football, but Valencia's victory is definitely not because the opponent "releases water", otherwise it will be shameless to win.

Some Spanish media also kept emphasizing, "Millwall must not let the water go! You must play seriously! You must have professionalism!"

These reports left Zhang Yang speechless.

Millwall has already qualified ahead of schedule. It is Millwall's own business whether to give his best in the match against Valencia, but it seems that the whole world requires Millwall to give his best?
Millwall will work hard, but there is no need to fight Valencia.

It doesn't make any sense to do that.

Zhang Yang was not affected in the slightest, how to arrange it or how to arrange it, Millwall sent a "semi-main lineup", some main players played, and some substitute players played.

The backcourt is the place with the biggest rotation, and both Traore and Arbeloa got opportunities.

Midfielder Sean Davis started.

The starting striker became Curtis Weston, Darren Bent did not enter the squad, and Vardy only sat on the bench.

When the FA announced the roster and starting lineup submitted by Millwall, it was immediately judged by the media as a 'substitute lineup'. The biggest evidence was Curtis Weston's starting lineup, but at the same time the media was also surprised by Millwall The gorgeousness of Seoul's bench lineup.

Although it is a semi-substitute lineup, with Sean Davis in the midfield, Quaresma, Braniff, and Simpson can all be said to be the main players, not to mention Livermore, who has been steady for thousands of years. up.

Thinking about Smicer, Morris, and Pires who did not play, the media felt that Millwall's midfield substitute was actually no different from the main midfielder, and his performance would not even be weaker than the main lineup.

There are many rotation players in the backcourt, and Zambrotta did not play, but the most prominent place for Millwall is always the frontcourt. The only striker is Curtis Weston, who is the most criticized.

Millwall has two major strikers, but in the end they sent a young player who didn't play much, obviously to let the young player go to experience, instead of dealing with Valencia wholeheartedly.

At the pre-match press conference, media reporters had something to say, they questioned Millwall's lineup——
"Why isn't Darren Bent on the roster?"

"Is Curtis Weston the starter? Does Millwall not pay attention to the game?"

"This is not the main lineup!"

Faced with doubts about the lineup, Zhang Yang completely ignored them. Instead, he continued to praise Curtis Weston, "Curtis is a Millwall youth player, and he can represent Millwall's youth strength. Curtis Smith is one of Millwall's best forwards and I'm sure he'll do really well!"

"..."

The media reporters complained in their hearts, "This is called talking nonsense with your eyes open!"

Curtis Weston represents Millwall's academy strength?So what does Darren Ward do!What is Livermore doing!What is Josh Simpson doing!

The above three are all well-known stars, that is to say, Curtis Weston is not famous anymore.

But Zhang Yang has something to say, "Curtis is still very young, he is only 19 years old, he is one of the youngest players in the team, he has an infinite future, I believe he will not only become the future of Millwall, but also Be the future of English football!"

Ok!

The media reporters were stifled by a single sentence and couldn't say anything. In the Millwall first team, Curtis Weston is indeed the youngest, and he is more than ten days younger than Vardy.

It is quite remarkable for such a young player to be able to play as a substitute in Millwall!

But this has nothing to do with whether Millwall is giving his best!

Regardless of Zhang Yang, he is still very optimistic about Weston. Weston is very young and has good skills. It is enough to be a backup striker. Although there is a gap with Vardy and Darren Bent, youth is an advantage. Maybe Will it grow in the future?
No one can say no to this!

Now that the Champions League is facing Valencia directly, it is better to let Curtis Weston play and practice, and Darren Bent and Vardy, who are constantly playing, can take a proper rest.

----

The Spanish media kept saying that Millwall should face the game normally, hoping that Valencia could beat the 'strongest' Millwall.

But Flores doesn't think so!
With the experience of the last game against Millwall, and looking at Millwall's Champions League and league results, he knows very well that it will be difficult for Valencia to win the game at home with Millwall as the main force.

This is a battle of face, but victory can restore face!
Regardless of whether Millwall has sent all the main players, as long as Valencia wins, it will save face. At that time, Valencia can say that they defeated Millwall away.

Flores wants Millwall to come off the bench and so does the Valencia players.

Anyone likes to feel the coolness of the abuse of food. It is very interesting to compete with the strong, but the feeling of abuse is more comfortable. When Millwall sent a substitute lineup, Valencia can be described as "cheers and joy". The first round of the match Among them, Darren Bent put too much pressure on them. Now that the opponent sends a rookie forward, the threat must be much less, and they can also play more easily.

But Millwall is by no means giving up the game!
When Zhang Yang mobilized before the battle in the locker room, he said to the players seriously, "I know the game is not important. And we have also carried out rotations, but this is not to let you rest, nor to make you give up the game! The outside world To say that we will let it go, that we will not play seriously, and that we don't have to fight Valencia, that is an insult to us!"

"My team does not have a main force and a substitute, and you are not a so-called 'substitute lineup', but whoever is not serious in the game, I don't mind making him a real substitute!"

----

Valencia looked forward to defeating Millwall, and then they would have completed their revenge for victory, but they found something was wrong at the beginning of the game.

This 'Millwall bench lineup' is not a target for casual abuse!

With their home court advantage, Millwall suppressed Valencia. The 'dual core' composed of Sean Davis and Josh Simpson is still full of power.

This is not surprising at all.

Zhang Yang has already formulated a personal tactical plan for the 'semi-main players', and they also have their own tactics, so they don't have to adapt to other people's tactics.

Josh Simpson has adapted to his own tactics, and the Millwall offensive he led is quite threatening.

Sean Davis has no personal tactical plan yet, but he and Smicer belong to the same type of players, his performance is still very stable, and he cooperates well with his teammates. Davis has a rare chance to start in the Champions League. Cherished, he puts in 100 per cent, wants to do well, he's the most motivated Millwall team.

Curtis Weston in the frontcourt is a player who attracts firepower.

As the only striker, Valencia will never neglect his defense. Weston's performance is relatively weak, but Millwall's midfield firepower is enough to suppress Valencia.

This is the home court, and the home court is different!
The Millwall players were all involved in the game for the first time, and the audience was full of supportive voices from Millwall fans. Valencia's performance was somewhat affected.

In addition, Flores may still have not studied Millwall's tactics carefully.

Millwall's 'dual-core' style of play, which emphasizes the directness of coordination and offense, coupled with the fact that the Premier League is generally stronger than La Liga's physical confrontation ability, can be said to be the nemesis of Spain's traditional style of play. Not to mention any advantages, but Valencia's overall coordination is not that outstanding, and their coordination is somewhat inferior to that of Millwall, so they will naturally be at a disadvantage.

This is also one of the reasons why Millwall could easily beat Valencia in the first round.

In the No. 17 minute of the game, Simpson proposed a second pass to assist, Livermore received the pass in front of the goal, and made a bombardment from 20 meters to help Millwall take the lead.

This is also a deterrent to Valencia.

For ordinary players, the distance of 20 meters is far enough, but Livermore’s shot from this position is almost equivalent to other players’ [-]-meter position. .

Livermore's goal made Valencia feel a little chilled. When they were behind, they played a little flustered. As time passed, Valencia could not see the hope of leading at all, and they played more and more. Getting flustered.

In the end, the first half ended 1-0.

Millwall returned to the locker room with the lead, and Zhang Yang praised the performance of the players, asking them to make persistent efforts and strive to extend the lead until the end of the game.

Flores on the other side was in a bad mood. He didn't expect Millwall to play well.

Millwall sent only a 'semi-substitute lineup'. Although they have a certain strength, the change of the striker's position has reduced a lot of pressure, but Valencia still can't play an advantage.

Why is this?

Flores was in a daze, and he couldn't think of any countermeasures. It wasn't that Flores was not good enough, it was because the game was not very important. He didn't study Millwall's tactics carefully, thinking that Valencia would fight hard. With all our strength, we will definitely be able to beat Millwall.

For a half-time, Flores wanted to know how to play against Millwall. It was a bit of a fantasy. Even if he wanted to make adjustments, it could only be a player change. Valencia did not do targeted training. , It is impossible to make targeted arrangements.

In the second half, Valencia's situation remained unchanged. They played some threatening offenses, and the situation was slightly recovered, but they were far behind Millwall in terms of threats to the goal.

No.701 minutes, Millwall scored again.

This time it was Josh Simpson, taking advantage of a set-piece from outside the penalty area, Simpson used his iconic curve ball to directly break through the Valencia gate.

2 is better than 0!

When Millwall led by two goals, the game completely lost its suspense.

No one expected the game to go to such a point. Before the game, a group of media criticized Millwall for "not sending all the main players". Now the media have all died down, especially the Spanish media. They still expect Valencia to beat Millwall has a full main lineup, but the opponent sent half a substitute, and they have been able to easily beat Valencia.

It's like a joke!
After Millwall won Valencia, it has been confirmed that they can qualify as the first in the group.

Valencia's group situation hasn't changed much, but they couldn't beat Millwall, who was 'letting water', and they lost all face in European football. Valencia sent the main lineup, but Valencia couldn't even beat the substitute lineup!"

Zhang Yang did not forget the depression before the game. A group of foreign media set traps for himself, and kept saying that 'Millwall must have competitive ethics' and 'Millwall must send all the main players'.

Now that Millwall won the game, Zhang Yang said with a smile, "I don't think it's a big deal to win. Valencia is very good, but we can handle it with eleven players. There is no need for fanfare." All the main force."

"We have to fight on the third line, maybe we will face the fourth line after Christmas. The competition is very intensive. Some players who have played a lot must have enough rest time. Therefore, in the game against Valencia, those players who do not play often deserve a chance .”

Flores vomited blood angrily.

The Spanish media gritted their teeth, and Zhang Yang said directly, "You don't need to go to war against Valencia, just get a few players to play." But they couldn't refute it, because Millwall won the game easily.

The Italian media was very happy.

They said before the game that they asked Millwall to send all the main players. The purpose was to hope that Millwall could beat Valencia. As long as this goal was achieved, it didn't matter what lineup they sent.

Millwall easily defeated Valencia with a substitute lineup, which also suddenly raised Roma's strength.

The two games played by Millwall and Roma were very difficult, not to mention sending all the main players, and they almost lost the game when they went shopping for Roma; Valencia?They were easily beaten by the Millwall bench!
There is no harm without comparison... This is the gap!
"It seems that in the last round, Rome has a good chance!" the Italian media thought happily.
