Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 416 The Potential of a Superstar

Arsenal's backcourt, the core players are Toure and Gallas.

Gallas joined Arsenal in the summer. He and Chelsea coach Mourinho torn skins. Chelsea desperately hoped to introduce Ashley Cole. Gallas was exchanged to Arsenal as an exchange player.

For Gallas himself, the 'exchange' process was somewhat tragic, with Chelsea also supplying Arsenal with £600m.

Doesn't this mean that Gallas is not as good as Ashley Cole?
If you are a professional football insider, you will definitely not think so. Ashley Cole is an English player. Considering English football policies, taxation of the rich, commercial interests, and local circumstances, the value of English players is naturally higher. .

Most fans don't think about such a complicated issue. They only look at the player's worth. The higher the worth, the stronger the strength. The exchange of Gallas is almost said to be an addition to Ashley Cole's transfer. .

This made Gallas unhappy.

But no matter how upset he was, he had a falling out with Mourinho, and he had to come to Arsenal if he wanted to play.

Toure is a star trained by Arsenal's youth training system. He only stayed in Arsenal's youth training for half a season before he was promoted to the first team by head coach Wenger and participated in Premier League games.

Soon Toure secured his main position.

As the absolute main force of the team, Toure also inherited the No. [-] jersey, and formally became the core of the defense.

Gallas and Toure are both very good defenders, not bad compared to Zambrotta. Compared with the two who have played for the top team for a long time, Darren Ward is a bit immature.

The other two Arsenal defenders are Senderos and Ebrahimovic. They are also quite capable defenders. The defense line composed of four cannot be said to be at the top level in Europe, and the Premier League is definitely the top.

Millwall's defense is worse than that.

Millwall has an advantage in the frontcourt, but there are some disadvantages in the backcourt. When the two are added together, the strength of both sides is almost equal. For the attack, the flexibility of the 'dual core' tactics can make Millwall Millwall played more smoothly, and Arsenal's solid tactics over the past few years are more skilled than Millwall.

The two teams can be said to be evenly matched.

Zhang Yang is not worried.

If it is just to compare lineups, it really depends on luck to play against each other. Millwall still has some disadvantages such as 'field factors', but the key point is that Zhang Yang has the ability to 'predict' and can judge the game in advance. Not worried about Arsenal scoring goals.

This is the root of self-confidence.

The game was very intense. Both sides came and went, attacking and defending each other, as if a goal was about to be scored in the next moment. At the same time, the defense of both sides was also unambiguous. Often when the football reaches the front of the penalty area, it is difficult to move forward.

After 10 minutes, Arsenal had 50.00% possession of the ball and had a slight advantage. They had five shots and Millwall had four.

Most of the players have adapted to the game, each team has performed well, and the game has become more intense.

The fast-paced game is dazzling, and the performance of individual players is also highlighted.

Arsenal's most outstanding player is Fabregas, a young player who is less than 20 years old. Wenger has always hoped that Fabregas can replace the absence of Vieira's departure. Fabregas is about to do it. He has become The official midfield core will always have a pretty good performance for the team.

Millwall's top performer was a bit of a surprise.

Everyone thinks that Pires will be the best. For the first time against his old club, Pires must be very motivated to play. Pires' performance is not bad, but it is not the best.

It was Braniff who shined in Millwall's formation.

Braniff is a player with great personality. Last time he angered the whole Manchester United team by himself, his reputation has also become bigger. The fans' views on him are full of contradictions——
Some fans have become diehards.

Another group of fans kept saying bad things about Braniff, and their dislike for him was profound.

Braniff's "doing his own way" character determines that he doesn't care what other people think, even fans who support or oppose him, he doesn't even like to read reports about himself, as if he has been living in a personal world.

Players are Braniff's profession, and he is getting better and better.

From the 5th minute of the game, Braniff made a wonderful pass to Darren Bent, and many media fans paid attention to him. After that, Braniff performed better and better. He played a role in the midfield. The role is like driving Millwall to beat Arsenal with his own power.

Braniff will be involved in every Millwall attack.

This kind of outstanding performance also made the camera focus on him frequently. When Braniff got the ball again, "Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott couldn't help shouting--
"Look! It's Braniff again!"

"Amazing performance by Braniff!"

"Last season, Braniff played as a left midfielder, and his performance was still such a breakthrough. Now it seems to prove that a central midfielder is more suitable for him!"

"In this game, many people are paying attention to Pires, but Braniff is higher than the former in terms of performance and importance. The avant-garde combination of him and Simpson seems to be more offensive than Morris and Smicer. ..."

This is also the characteristic of Braniff and Simpson's partnership.

Morris's football style is conservative. Smicer's ability is very good, but his style is also a bit conservative. Braniff and Simpson are just the opposite. Their age determines that they prefer to attack. Simpson is the kind of pure offensive player. , Braniff has comprehensive abilities, and the two partners can perform better.

Under the leadership of Braniff, Millwall played a little advantage against Arsenal at halftime in the first half.

Millwall made three consecutive offensives, and Arsenal were a little breathless. Fortunately, they quickly adjusted and made a big push towards Millwall, using the cooperation of the midfield to regain some face.

In the fierce competition, time passed very quickly.

Many fans in the audience felt that the goal seemed to happen in the next second, but in fact, the goal did not come for a long time. Arsenal and Millwall seemed to lack a little luck.

No. 306 minutes into the game, the fight on the field is still very fierce.

What few people noticed was that Zhang Yang began to concentrate. He watched the game with his eyes motionless, as if he was afraid of missing a detail. For other head coaches, it was actually no big deal, and it rarely happened to Zhang Yang. .

Three minutes later, Millwall made a solid advance.

Braniff made a diagonal pass from the middle, and after cooperating with Quaresma, he flashed past Fabregas' block.

Then Toure stepped up.

Braniff glanced at Toure, immediately pushed the ball to Simpson and immediately raised his hand to ask for the ball. Simpson understood but didn't pass it back. Instead, he made a breakthrough move, which attracted Toure's attention. Darren Bent's return pass returned to the feet of Braniff.

At this time, Braniff was already in front of the penalty area line.

Arsenal blocked him anxiously, and Gallas rushed over. There was only one Eb in the penalty area, carefully marking Darren Bent.

Braniff waved!
Gallas thought that Braniff was about to shoot, and he immediately blocked it, but Braniff pushed to the side.

Simpson followed up with a volley!
The angle of the ball was very tricky. Goalkeeper Lehmann saved the first time, but he still couldn't block it, but the football hit the post and bounced out. Just when Arsenal thought they had escaped, Darren Bent Follow up to send the ball into the goal.

"Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

"Darren Bent! A follow-up shot! Simpson's low shot was brilliant, but Bent's follow-up shot was crucial!"

"A second before the goal, Arsenal probably thought they had escaped, but then they fell from heaven to hell ... Bent! Bent! He did it again for Millwall."

"In such an important game, Bent scored the first goal. The two sides struggled for nearly four and 10 minutes. In the end, it was Millwall who scored the first goal!"

"This is also Bent's No. 14 goal in the league. He has no suspense to occupy the top scorer list in the league..."

Paul Scott was not stingy with praise for Darren Bent, and the camera lens was always aimed at Darren Bent. He was holding his cheeks excitedly, and then hugging his teammates one by one.

Everyone's attention is focused on Darren Bent, he became the protagonist of the audience, even Arsenal were amazed by it, and several Arsenal players, just now Eb has been defending Bent, The football bounced into the penalty area, and Eb didn't react at all, but Bent swung the ball into the goal immediately.

This reaction speed is too fast!
On the Arsenal coaching bench, Wenger looked at Millwall's celebration and could only shake his head and smile wryly when he recalled the goal just now. The outside world was talking about how strong Millwall's striker is and how good Darren Bent is. Adebayor, Van Persie and others are not worse than Darren Bent, but have stronger technical ability. Darren Bent scored more goals, and it is only because Millwall is a "single striker" tactic.

After the ball just now, he found that he was wrong.

Adebayor, Van Persie and others have quite good technical strength, no worse than Darren Bent, but they still seem too immature in terms of experience and on-the-spot performance.

Perhaps in the next few years, Adebayor and Van Persie will have the opportunity to surpass Darren Bent. They can accumulate a lot of money and catch up from behind, but it is definitely not now.But why?

Wenger still doesn't understand why Millwall players can perform so well.

Darren Bent is not considered experienced. He only came from the lower leagues. He has only played in the Premier League for more than one season. How could he perform so well?
Is it really a tactical issue?
If Zhang Yang knew what Wenger was thinking, he would definitely smile and not explain.

Why did Millwall players perform so well?

Tactics of course.

Millwall's tactics are based on allowing players to play their strengths, but Darren Bent's performance is not just a tactical issue. Darren Bent should be very good.

For example, compare Van Persie.

Van Persie's skills are quite good. He was recruited by Wenger early and trained as a future star, but Van Persie is the "future" and he doesn't play many games in a single season. In some key games, Wenger also trusts Henry more. superstar.

Darren Bent is different.

Before Darren Bent played for Ipswich Town, he was an absolute core shooter. He played almost all the games he could play. It is the same at Millwall. Bent is the absolute main striker, no matter he plays against any strong team. , he will start on behalf of the team.

The game experience of the two is very different.

Darren Bent is one year younger than Van Persie, but he has been a main player for a long time and has been playing in England. His experience is not comparable to Van Persie.

Maybe Van Persie has the hope of surpassing Darren Bent in the future, but it is definitely not now, but only for the goal just now, Zhang Yang didn't care about Darren Bent who became the focus, nor did he care about Josh Simpson who kicked the post. He only looked at Braniff who ran back, recalling Braniff's performance just now.

Personal performance, cooperation with teammates, and the last kick is wonderful——
"Kevin Braniff?"

"This guy with a weird personality really has the potential to become a superstar!"
