Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 465

"Simpson! He scored the first goal! Millwall leads the home team Eindhoven!" the British BBC broadcast commentator shouted, and the background was the silence of most fans at the Philips Stadium.

PSV fans are quite disappointed.

They expected the team to beat Millwall, but since the start of the game, Eindhoven has shown that they are 'not an opponent at all', which makes everyone feel very helpless.

Many fans still remember the match between Eindhoven and Arsenal at home last month. Eindhoven was also suppressed at that time, but they were definitely not passive to such an extent.

Why is this happening?

Could it be that Millwall is much better than Arsenal! ?

Eindhoven fans can't accept it. In their impression, Arsenal is a well-known giant in the Champions League, and Millwall is just a newly emerging small club. Will this kind of football perform better in the European war? The traditional giants, but also as the 'Champion League defending champion' Arsenal.

Eindhoven defeated Arsenal, why did they play such a passive game against Millwall!

The thoughts of Eindhoven fans are also the thoughts of many Dutch media, but they are more rational than the fans. After seeing the game in front of them, and then analyzing Millwall ranked first in the Premier League, first qualified in the Champions League group and eliminated Real Madrid strongly, they It is also certain, "Millwall is much more difficult to deal with than Arsenal!"

The situation in front of the game can make some sense.

Of course, just 'some'.

Even if Millwall is the top club in Europe, the gap between Eindhoven and Eindhoven will not be so big. To the point of "almost no power to fight back", some Dutch media began to criticize Koeman's conservative tactics.

That's the root cause.

If it weren't for conservative tactics, Millwall's field advantage would not be so great.

The media are just bystanders.

They can arbitrarily criticize teams that perform poorly without taking any responsibility, just like some readers read a novel and criticize a few words when they are unhappy with it.

This is their right.

As a novel author, the situation is different, because the author needs to write a work, not according to his own mood, to read the last one is suitable, the writing process is very difficult, no matter how many readers criticize , nor can the author's level suddenly increase.

This is the case with Koeman.

He is the head coach.

As the head coach leading the team, it is not as simple as the media said. He needs to consider the opponent's situation and how to formulate tactics to be the most likely to defeat the opponent.

After this process, the conclusions drawn may not necessarily be correct.

Now Koeman needs to pay for the wrong conclusion. Before he prayed to God that Millwall would not score, but in the end God recognized his 'heretic' status, and the blessing must be gone, so Millwall completed. goal.

Koeman felt very helpless, and what was even more helpless was that he made a big tactical mistake. It was impossible to make temporary adjustments to the defensive counterattack style he formulated, and even the intermission time was not enough. See if the players can adapt quickly.

These are uncertain.

What can be done now is to continue to pray to God... Of course, Koeman can also do something. He quickly walked to the sidelines and shouted to remind the team to 'continue to strengthen the defense', and even specially told the forward players to retreat.

Eindhoven players are depressed.

They played a defensive counterattack, but the defense was there, but the counterattack was almost invisible. The game was like a day, and the coach Koeman asked them to continue to retreat?

That's not a halftime offensive and defensive drill! ?

However, Koeman is still very authoritative. Eindhoven players have opinions, and they can only hold them in their hearts, and follow what Koeman said.

When the game resumed, the Dutch media found that PSV's 'small' counterattacks disappeared.

When Millwall is attacking, Eindhoven even the forwards will retreat to participate in the defense. It seems that they have completely given up the idea of ​​counterattack. Even if Eindhoven receives the pass, the offense is very boring, that is, the two wings Will rush up, even in the middle of the midfield, there will be a player pulling back, ready to deal with Millwall's attack at any time.

This kind of game is really useless!
The Dutch media reporters felt ashamed in front of their British counterparts. They even hoped that the game would be faster. What is the point of playing such a shameful game?
Eindhoven is playing at home!

It is really sad to let the opponent "attack at will" in the home game.

The Dutch media felt that PSV had humiliated Dutch football. Looking at the game in front of them, they had already thought about how to report after the game.

criticize!

Severe criticism!
Let everyone know how useless Eindhoven led by Koeman was against the English team!

----

Eindhoven put on a defensive look, which is really unexpected.

The media and fans didn't expect it, and neither did Millwall.

This kind of defensive tactics relying on crowds and shameless play is definitely very rare in the Champions League, and very few teams will play like this "shamelessly".

Zhang Yang couldn't help but praise Coman.

Amazing!
Koeman's decisiveness also proves his coaching level. At present, the best choice for Eindhoven is actually to defend the whole team and delay the time until the intermission.As long as it can be delayed until the end of the first half, the "tactical mistakes" before the game will be equal to making up.

Eindhoven also only conceded one goal. In two rounds, one goal does not decide anything.

But can they last until the end of the first half?

Zhang Yang smiled.

Next, Eindhoven's defense was indeed very solid. Millwall failed to find any opportunities in front of the "crowd tactics", but Zhang Yang went straight to the sidelines in the 31st minute of the game.

He also needs to adjust.

Zhang Yang called Braniff, whispered some advice to him, and then decided to replace—
Exit Simpson!

Enter Morris!

When it was noticed that Millwall was going to replace Simpson, everyone felt a little bit incredulous.

Substitution?

Millwall played so well, why did he choose to make a substitution?It is even more incomprehensible that Simpson was replaced.

Simpson scored the first goal.

In terms of performance on the field, Simpson is also very good. His cooperation with Braniff has brought the entire Millwall midfield to life, leaving PSV completely passive and can only choose to fully retreat.

At this point in time, Simpson was replaced.

why?
The British BBC broadcast asked the fans, "Why did you replace Simpson? His performance is the best. From the perspective of the camera, Simpson is not injured. He runs fast and is very healthy."

The TV broadcast also replayed the past shots, and did not find that Simpson fell to the ground. Just before the fourth official raised the substitution card, Simpson still sprinted forward. His body was very flexible. It must be No injuries.

Everyone doesn't understand.

"Did Millwall intentionally release water?" Some Eindhoven fans even thought so, and they were extremely optimistic.

Some media speculated that Simpson had some conflict with Zhang Yang, but when Simpson was off the court, he hugged his teammate Morris and took the initiative to take the water bottle that Zhang Yang handed over. Thumb, Simpson's happy face, there is no problem at all.

What is the reason!
Millwall's incomprehensible substitution choices made all media reporters and fans have the desire to explore.

Then the game continued.

Five minutes later, some media analyzed the reason, "Livermore's position is premised!"

Back waist forward!

Zhang Yang made a small change to his style of play.

Some British media who knew about Millwall immediately understood the reason. In the Premier League, Millwall will occasionally use this style of play when they encounter small clubs.Three central midfielders, Livermore as a defensive midfielder, moved forward to the forward position, and the two forwards were slightly pulled back.

This will allow Livermore's long-range shooting ability to be maximized, and it is the only magic weapon to break dense defenses!

"Millwall treats Eindhoven as a small club that is 'not an opponent'!"

The exclamation of the British reporter made the Dutch counterparts puzzled.

It didn't take long for them to figure it out.

Eindhoven didn't understand Millwall's 'backward midfielder' style of play. They were baffled by Millwall's adjustment. Simpson, who performed well, was replaced, which made them breathe a long sigh of relief and thought the game would be good. Hit some.

But then they faced heavy artillery bombardment again and again!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The roar of the cannons at the Philips Stadium also ushered in crises again and again at the gate guarded by Gomez.

There is nothing PSV can do about it.

They have compressed their formation and established a solid line of defense in front of the penalty area, but the opponent's midfielder, that unusually strong guy, is more than 20 meters away, sometimes as long as 30 meters away, so he directly chooses to shoot.

How does this defend?

It is impossible for them to push the dense defense so far, otherwise they will give the opponent's forward a chance to cooperate and play, and the threat of shooting in the penalty area is higher.

For the next period of time, Eindhoven's defense was in a state of contradiction.

Gomez counts seconds like years.

Gomez's nerves are tense all the time, it seems that football can always go far away, rushing towards with a gust of wind.

In 5 minutes, he has saved three goals.

Such a high frequency of saves is actually nothing. The key is that after three saves, he felt a pain in his fingers.

"Could it be injured?" Gomez had a feeling of fear in his heart.

So when facing the same shot again, Gomez's reaction was half a beat slower, and when he jumped to the position, the football had already rushed into the goal first.

"Goooooooooooal!!!"

"Livermore! Livermore! A long shot from the outside! Beautiful! Very exciting!"

"For Livermore, it's probably the same as shooting in the penalty area. Eindhoven goalkeeper Gomez is the worst. He needs to concentrate and keep making saves. He did a good job before, but it turns out that he can't. Keep hitting..."

"The score became 0 to 2, and Millwall, who played away, led by two goals!"

"If you only look at this halftime, there is no suspense in the match between the two sides. Eindhoven is not an opponent at all. Millwall may be able to celebrate in advance and enter the Champions League semi-finals!"
