Chapter 610 The goal before Christmas

The noisy reports from the outside world did not affect Millwall.

After returning to London, the team entered the rhythm of the league.

Zhang Yang invites all players to seriously enter the state of preparation, because they will enter the intense 'pre-Christmas schedule' and 'Christmas schedule'.

The "pre-Christmas season" of most teams is actually a relaxed period, because the game intensity will become less, and there will only be a "Christmas schedule", and the games will become denser and more frequent. Injury will affect the competition after the new year.

Millwall is different.

Millwall will fight on multiple fronts. Before Christmas, they will have to play two more Champions League games, as well as a League Cup quarter-final match. In addition, Millwall will face Chelsea and Manchester United, their two most important opponents, before Christmas.

These two games must be prepared, and will not even leave time for other games to prepare.

What I have to face now is the first game, the league match with West Ham United.

This is home.

Before the game, Millwall did not make any targeted preparations.

For a head coach, if he wants to lead the team to achieve good results, it is impossible to prepare every game. West Ham United is not a difficult opponent. Even the so-called 'East London Derby' is not important at all. Others It seems that Millwall and West Ham United are mortal enemies, but in fact, the two sides have not played many times in history, and their current status and strength are not comparable at all. Coupled with the factors of home games, Millwall has no reason Can't win the game.

One thing, Zhang Yang still did it. He told all the players, "Now, we are at the top of the league table, six points more than Manchester United and Arsenal." As a result, the points lead was extended to six.

"We have a big advantage, but six points are not stable. It is only a gap of two games. Maybe one mistake, we will be caught up."

"So, our goal is to spread the points as far as possible before Christmas."

"Next we have to go through a difficult schedule, but we no longer have the pressure of the Champions League, and we only focus on preparing for the league. We are much less stressed than Manchester United and Chelsea. I also hope that at Christmas, I will hear the news It was said that 'the Premier League championship this season has lost its suspense', of course, the protagonist of the news is us!"

Zhang Yang's statement lifted everyone's spirits.

The championship is locked in advance for half a season!

Which team in history can do it?I am afraid that even the former overlord Manchester United would not dare to say such a thing, but Millwall is going to do it.

Millwall players have infinite trust in Zhang Yang, and they feel that Zhang Yang can do what he says.

The league championship is just around the corner!
Of course, they have to face their first opponent, West Ham United.

After returning to the Premier League, West Ham performed "magic" for two consecutive years. Last season, as a newly promoted team, they quickly rose to tenth place, and once hit the League Cup qualification during the season.

Last season, West Ham United introduced Carlos Tevez and Mascherano, two World Cup internationals. They were once highly favored by the media, but unfortunately the results experienced a big decline. Carlos Tevez was not reused, and Mascherano was simply reduced to a marginal player. .

In the second half of the schedule, the magic was staged again.

In the last nine league rounds of West Ham United, with seven wins and two losses, they managed to avoid relegation, especially the away wins against Arsenal and Manchester United, pulling themselves back from hell to the world.

After experiencing ups and downs, West Ham United's actions in the transfer market have stabilized a lot.

Dyer, Forbey, Parker, Bellamy, West Ham United have introduced a solid and excellent frontcourt.

It is a pity that Tevez, the relegation hero, joined Manchester United, and players such as Haywood, Ljungbenar, Cork and Mills left.

The media generally believe that West Ham lost more than they gained in the summer transfer, and there are many star players on the leaving list. It is difficult to predict whether new aid can fill the vacancy.

However, the season has gone through 11 rounds. Under the leadership of Kubeshley, West Ham United's performance has improved a lot. It is currently ranked No. [-] in the league. As long as there are no accidents, relegation is no problem at all. They played well. Some could also compete for a UEFA Cup spot.

Before the match between the two teams, West Ham United coach Kubeshley said, "The outside world is saying that we may beat Millwall in the derby. I hope to do it, because so far, there is no ball. The team can do it."

Kubeshley, who is 'old and cunning', has two meanings in his words.

One, by beating Millwall, West Ham have done 'something no team has done'.

Two, if the game is lost, of course, 'nothing the team does', we can't do it normally.

Zhang Yang continued to maintain a low-key style. He talked about West Ham United's good results, and then said, "The game is a major test for us."

Reporters have the urge to vomit blood.

Millwall has been unbeaten for [-] consecutive rounds, and still sits firmly at the top of the Premier League table with an advantage of six points. The home game against West Ham United has become a "major test"?
If they knew what Zhang Yang said inside the team, they would probably vomit blood even more.

----

Finally, the game came.

West Ham United has a very interesting player, his name is Zamora, the team's long-term 'number two' goalscorer, last season he could not keep up with Carlos Tevez, this season he has been suppressed by the newcomer Bellamy.

Zamora thinks very highly of himself. He thinks that he cannot be the No. [-] shooter only because of the team environment: there are no outstanding assisters in the team, and he is not the kind of player who can score alone.

"What about Millwall instead?"

Zamora has thought about this issue. He believes that when he arrives at Millwall, he will definitely have the performance of Darren Bent and Vardy.

Zamora is well-founded analysis.

Darren Bent is an example. Bent was the golden boot of the Champions League and the Premier League at Millwall, but after he moved to Tottenham, he was only the leading shooter in the team, and his performance was very different.

Instead, it was him.

Now at West Ham United, they scored 22 goals last season. If it were Millwall, with an excellent coach to arrange the game and good players to play the ball, it might be 32 or [-] goals.

In short, he felt that his team was just not good.

Zamora's complaints seemed useless. When the match between Millwall and West Ham United started, he quickly found Vardy in the same position and quickly became the protagonist of the game, because Vardy was 9 minutes into the game. Dee helped Millwall score.

It was a through pass from outside the box.

Vardy squeezed Upson, was turned and volleyed, and the ball was sent directly into the goal.

"Gooooal!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"After only 9 minutes of the game, Millwall took the lead. It was Vardy who scored the goal! This is his ninth goal in the Premier League this season!"

"Pretty exciting..."

Seeing Vardy complete the goal quickly, Zamora didn't mention how sad he was. He was very unwilling and felt that he would perform better if he changed positions, but everyone's cheers were given to Vardy.

West Ham is terrible!
Zamora kept sighing in his heart, but maybe his teammate Bellamy felt more complicated. Bellamy is a homeless man. In the past four seasons, he has changed four clubs - Celtic, Blackburn, Liverpool And now West Ham United.

Nobody denies Bellamy's genius, but he's also bad-tempered and is England's famous bad boy.

Bellamy has done a lot.

For example, he represented Newcastle United in the Champions League and kicked Materazzi against Inter Milan.

In the same year, he also staged a terrible scene of throwing a stool at the coach.

During his time at Liverpool last season, he attacked teammate Riise with a golf club on the training ground.

Still last season, in his 3 games, he followed Newcastle United as a guest, and suddenly turned against him and shot the ball into his own goal. Some people said that it was to make the 3 games meaningful, but more people think that Bella Mi was expressing his dissatisfaction with the team, but putting the ball in his own goal is extremely bad anyway, so he was traded to West Ham United.

For a homeless man, he also wants to find a home. Seeing Millwall celebrating Vardy wildly and the players laughing happily, Bellamy couldn't help being envious, and turned to hate the current environment.

West Ham is a temporary residence, not a home.

Zamora didn't know Bellamy's mentality, and he wasn't in a good mood. What he hoped most was to suppress his opponent with an excellent performance, and let Millwall's Chinese coach see his own strength.

If you are valued, you can join Millwall?
But West Ham United is too passive!
Zamora stayed in the front and couldn't find a chance for a long time. He kind of wanted to go back to participate in the defense, and more still hoped to wait for the opportunity.

Next, Millwall continued to attack and suppress West Ham United. What West Ham United can do is to fight back occasionally.

Zamora also performed.

In a counterattack, he quickly dribbled the ball and used the cooperation with his teammates to bring the ball to the front of the penalty area.

That's all.

Then Zamora was brought to the ground by Livermore.

Zamora felt very annoyed that a good opportunity was missed, but he knew that the top league is like this, no matter how good his skills are, the opponent will take advantage of the opportunity, and the attack is suspended for a foul.

Millwall is also not afraid of fouls at all, because West Ham United does not have a good set-player.

Millwall used a tough offense to constantly suppress West Ham United, and was also constantly looking for opportunities to directly create goals.

No. In the 301st minute, Maxi took a free kick, Gary O'Neill outflanked and scored with a header.

No. 709 minutes, it was still Vardy, he found a chance to break through the defense, used fake moves to make room, and scored at the front of the penalty area.

This goal surprised many people.

In the impression of many people, Vardy's foot skills are not so flexible. He is a shooter, not a football control master.

Only Zhang Yang knows that Vardy can do it only because of the effect of "speaking the law". When the time is about to end, there is no need to keep the skills at all.

Zhang Yang used it for Vardy when he found an opportunity. He was just experimenting with the effect of using words when not shooting. He did not expect Vardy to give an unexpected surprise.

"Three to zero!"

"There is no suspense! The victory of Millwall can be announced in advance!"

"Valdy's goal is quite wonderful, let people see his superb foot skills, in the small space in the penalty area, he can flexibly deceive the defender..."

"Valdy scored twice, scored his tenth league goal in a single season!"

"It just so happens that he also played ten times in the league, with an average of one goal in one appearance. Such a high efficiency is enough to make the competitors in the scorer list feel desperate."

Vardy once again became the protagonist.

On the contrary, Zamora can only play a supporting role, no, he is not even considered a green leaf, because no one noticed him at all, and Zamora hardly showed any performance in the whole game. Like most of his teammates, he only Can be reduced to a game player.

----

No. After the 13th round of the league, it will enter the international competition day, and all the players from the national team will participate.

This time Zhang Yang only gave the other players a day off.

One day is short.

It's enough to just take a break if you're doing it properly, but not at all if you want to complete other activities.

Zhang Yang only had one day off.

Taking advantage of the intermission period of the international match day, he gathered the remaining players for training in terms of tactics and physical adjustment.

The former is to allow the players to adapt to the tactics, but also to prepare for the games against Chelsea and Manchester United.

The latter is to cope with the upcoming winter, allowing players to adjust their physical condition and reduce possible injuries.

At the same time, the coaching staff began to patiently study the next opponent --
Chelsea!
Grant's Chelsea is definitely not easy to deal with!
