Chapter 447 League Cup Final

The first round of the match between Millwall and Real Madrid ended, and the final score was 1 to 2. Millwall not only defeated the home team Real Madrid, but also scored two away goals.

For the media, the end of the game is the real beginning.

Before the game, few media were optimistic about Millwall. Most of the media believed that Capello’s Real Madrid would defeat Millwall, and the process would be very easy. No one expected that Real Madrid would lose in front of their own goal. ball.

1:2.

This is not a big score, but considering it is a game at the Bernabéu, it is really unacceptable.

Many media hope to interview Millwall, Millwall players, and Millwall coach Zhang Yang.

Hundreds of journalists gathered in the mixed area of ​​the Bernabéu Stadium. They were all waiting for an interview opportunity. The Millwall players did not disappoint them. After the game, the players accepted the interview in a good mood when they passed the mixed area.

The most popular are Josh - Simpson and David - Livermore, the two scored a goal, Simpson's direct free kick stunning the audience, Livermore's shot is also unforgettable.

The least popular... or rather, the most ambivalent among journalists was Braniff.

Braniff was very popular when he first arrived, and many Spanish journalists hoped to interview him, but as the interview progressed, the Spanish journalists were not happy, and only the British journalists were happy.

The British reporters did not forget to look at their counterparts in the Spanish media with teasing eyes--
Look!

This is the consequence of not preparing for the interview!

Kevin Braniff is a special star. His brain circuit is definitely not understood by ordinary people. You Spaniards dare to target Braniff?

The Spanish reporters suffered from 'targeting Braniff', because Millwall won, which was not the result they wanted to see, and Braniff was a player who showed contradictions in the game, so some reporters targeted them. asked, "Do you ever feel like you're holding your team back? Maybe you could have scored more goals if you hadn't wasted too many chances?"

Braniff was reluctant after hearing this.

This is serious criticism, serious disapproval?You know, when he walked off the court, the coach said that he was the best performer in the audience. How could he become a hindrance in the eyes of these Spaniards!
This is unbearable!

Braniff said angrily, "Are you a football reporter? Do you know how to watch the game? You say I'm slow? I'm the best player in the game! The coaches say that! Those Real Madrid players are simply Can't stop me!"

"I don't know what kind of vision you have. Are you qualified to interview? Yes! I doubt you have the right to interview! Security! Security!"

As Braniff spoke, he called the security guard, pointed at the reporter and shouted, "There is a man who sneaked in here. I suspect he is not a reporter. I don't know what he is doing here!"

The two burly men couldn't understand English, and a "kind" British reporter helped translate it, and then the burly man dragged the reporter away. No matter how the other party argued, it was useless. Laniff, a reporter is nothing at all, suspicion must be investigated.

The Spanish reporters were so angry that the interview that followed turned into a complete bragging.

Braniff not only 'bragged' about his performance, but also praised his teammates and his coach incidentally.

Braniff spoke very highly of Zhang Yang.

When a reporter asked him to compare Capello with Zhang Yang, Braniff asked without hesitation, "Capello? This name is very familiar. Who is he?"

The reporter reminded with a dark face.

"Oh, yes! It's the head coach of Real Madrid! But I'm sorry, I don't know Capello very well, I can't even remember his name. I don't like to comment on the coaching level of a head coach, because I'm just a player, But I ask you, which team is more famous, Millwall or Real Madrid?"

Undoubtedly Real Madrid.

"The boss is leading the team at Millwall, and Capello is leading the team at Real Madrid. This is the Bernabéu Stadium. The final score was 1-2. We won. It has already been decided who has better coaching ability."

"..."

What Braniff said really makes sense!

The British reporters suddenly discovered Braniff's great wisdom and stupidity. The Spanish reporters still had to record these words with black faces. After all, they were the first-hand interview materials. Pero, Capello is also an Italian, in fact, it has nothing to do with them.

----

Interviews in the mixed zone are fun, interviews in the press conference hall are a lot duller.

Zhang Yang is the protagonist of the audience.

If Real Madrid has already been eliminated, Zhang Yang doesn't mind giving the media reporters something interesting and providing them with some news materials, but it's only the end of the first round, so it doesn't make sense to say more.

Zhang Yang just emphasized that the result is beneficial to Millwall, and continued to praise Braniff's performance by the way, "I said before that Kevin will be the key to the game. I believe everyone has seen it. Very good performance, he managed to create valuable set-piece chances..."

It's okay not to say this sentence, the Spanish reporter wanted to vomit blood when he heard it.

If they haven't realized by now why Zhang Yang keeps emphasizing Braniff, he is not worthy of being a football reporter.

This young Chinese did it on purpose!

Braniff is not the key at all. His high profile is entirely to attract the attention of the defense, and also to make the Real Madrid players foul irrationally, creating set-pieces continuously, in fact, to give Simpson a chance.

Many people have similar thoughts.

But I can't be sure. To be honest, Braniff's skills are really good. Throughout the game, Emerson's defense against him can be said to have failed.

Emerson not only failed to defend alone, Real Madrid's blockade of Braniff also failed.

Braniff used dribbling to disrupt Real Madrid's defense, and gave Simpson a chance to set the ball. The second set kick was also directly related to Braniff. After careful consideration, Braniff really performed quite well. Part of the reason for Real Madrid's loss is due to him.

So when Zhang Yang talked about Braniff again, the Spanish media reporters didn't know how to refute.

Bad Braniff?

Braniff always conceding goals?

These are irrelevant, the key is that Braniff helped his teammates create opportunities, and Millwall was able to score two goals.

----

The first round of the knockout round of the Champions League round of [-] is over.

Four games were played at the same time on this day, and the confrontation between Manchester United and Barcelona was related to England. After nine 10 minutes, Manchester United drew Barcelona 1-1.

For Manchester United, it is also a good result.

With a 1-1 draw against Barcelona in the away game, Manchester United will have a good chance at home. In addition, Millwall defeated Real Madrid. In the football collision between England and Spain, the first round can be said to be a big win Then the English media looked forward to the next day's game, but in the end it was a disappointing result. Arsenal lost 0-1 away to PSV Eindhoven, and Chelsea also lost 0-1 to Porto.

Among England's four teams, only Millwall defeated Real Madrid after four away games. Manchester United's draw is a good result, while Chelsea and Arsenal are somewhat disappointing.

In this case, Millwall's victory became even more prominent.

Many British media shouted, "It seems that Millwall may represent England in this year's Champions League!"

The four English teams all entered the top [-]. Millwall and Manchester United faced the strongest opponents. Millwall had the best result in the first round, which also attracted many people's attention to Millwall. .

The British media did not hesitate to praise Millwall, and the media in other countries also continued to analyze Real Madrid's home game against Millwall, and at the same time sent praises to Millwall.

That's the beauty of winning.

In the high-profile UEFA Champions League, Millwall performed well, so he will naturally receive more attention. Millwall players also attract a lot of attention. Braniff, Simpson, and Livermore have all been repeatedly reported by the media. , their fame is rising rapidly.

In the entire Millwall team, Zhang Yang is the most concerned.

Zhang Yang is the head coach of Millwall. He not only led Millwall to create miracles, he was promoted from the British Championship to the top of the Premier League in two seasons, and he also gained a firm foothold in the European arena. He did not rely on a large transfer fee , but the real coaching ability. Among the players who performed well, Braniff, Simpson and Livermore were all brought up by him. After analyzing these situations, the media will pay more attention to publicity.

The whole of Europe is reporting on Zhang Yang. More fans know about Zhang Yang, and at the same time they also know about Millwall, a dark horse. It seems that there is a very promising trend.

In fact, Zhang Yang's coaching ability is still more recognized in the UK. The media, fans and clubs in England are more familiar with Zhang Yang. The media and fans in other countries have only just come into contact with Millwall. He and Zhang Yang still have a calm and cautious attitude towards Zhang Yang's coaching ability.

As a result, news about Zhang Yang continued to appear in the British media.

This is quite sensational news on both sides.

One is about Chelsea. Cher* Abramovich admires Zhang Yang and praised Zhang Yang's youth and excellent coaching ability in public.At the same time, Abramovich also talked about that he and Zhang Yang had discussions about coaching, and the two had a very in-depth discussion, and the friendly expressions in the words were full.

Just Abramovich's praise doesn't seem to be a big deal, but at the moment of Chelsea's small defeat to Porto, the media can interpret a lot.

In the past few seasons, Chelsea has continued to invest heavily in the transfer market. The sum of the funds invested can even buy a giant, but a single league championship result will definitely not satisfy Abramovich.

Abramovich hopes that Chelsea can achieve better results, and the only criterion for judging good results is the championship, not only the league championship, but also the Champions League championship. He even hopes that Chelsea will 'rule' the Premier League and create a 'domination' Dynasties of the Europa League.

The current Chelsea results are definitely not in line.

In other words, Abramovich is already dissatisfied with Mourinho's coaching.

If Chelsea get nothing this season, Mourinho will almost certainly leave Stamford Bridge, Abramovich will not have the patience to wait any longer, then Chelsea will find a new coach.

Who is the best fit?

Many people can think of Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's coaching of Millwall was quite successful, and his next move to Chelsea was a matter of course. Coupled with Abramovich's emphasis, everything seemed to be coming to fruition.

Another news comes from Manchester United.

A manager of Manchester United said in an interview, "Mr. Glazer appreciates Zhang Yang's coaching ability, and Sir Alex Ferguson also believes that Zhang Yang has the ability to succeed him at the helm of Manchester United."

That's a pretty high rating.

What the media is interested in is whether the manager is talking about his own ideas, or whether Manchester United wants to express goodwill towards Zhang Yang. If Ferguson instructs him to say this, things will be very interesting. There is no doubt that Manchester United also wants to poach corners, but only in Ferguson After retirement.

It is hard to say when Ferguson will retire, but considering Zhang Yang's age, there is no problem for him to succeed Ferguson.

When there was a lot of rumors from the outside world, Zhang Yang had no time to deal with the nonsense of the media. He had already led the team to Cardiff, preparing to play the League Cup final with Chelsea.

Millwall did little to prepare.

The League Cup final is too close to the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of [-]. Millwall flew back from Madrid, and the players had to adjust to rest, so they only had one day of training.

What can you do in a day?
Just let the players warm up, and half a day passed. There is no time to make arrangements for the style of play. It is not a problem with the work of the coaching staff. The time is too short. If you want to make some adjustments in tactics, you must let the players train and adapt, not to mention targeted At least let the players familiarize themselves with the tactical formation and the like. Without this time, any adjustment may make the players uncomfortable, which may be fatal. Players will not be able to perform for a long time in the game. The state of the situation, it is definitely better not to make adjustments.

The good news is that Chelsea have little time to do anything.

Chelsea's first leg of the Champions League was a day later than Millwall's. They almost only rested for half a day before flying to Cardiff in a hurry.

The situation of the two teams can be imagined.

"This may be the most hasty final." After arriving in Cardiff and arranging for the players to rest, Zhang Yang accepted an interview with reporters. "I think the FA should adjust the schedule appropriately, otherwise the final may become a joke. If the time is tighter , I don’t even know if I will consider giving up.”

Of course Zhang Yang was joking.

In the League Cup final, it is impossible to give up directly, but the team's situation is indeed not very good. The battle with Real Madrid has just passed, and there is almost a "turning point" in the middle. From London to Cardiff, how much we can play is full of uncertainty .

Probably Mourinho will also complain a lot, but now is not the time to think about the opponent. After a night's rest in the hotel, all the players gathered in the arranged training field, and had a simple warm-up. In the afternoon, Zhang Yang briefly talked about the style of play. After that, it is ready to play.
