Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 650 The Trouble Encountered by the Long-Term Coaching Society
Seeing Vardy put the ball into the gate guarded by Valdez, the Barcelona fans of the visiting team suffered a major trauma. In their view of the game, Barcelona will definitely beat Millwall and successfully advance to the final. Champions League final.

This is what the Catalan media reported. In addition, most Barcelona fans do not think that a suddenly rising English club has the qualifications to challenge the giants Barcelona, ​​even if this team has won the championship for three consecutive years. Win the Premier League championship.

so what?
Barcelona has won countless La Liga titles and has always been one of the top clubs in Europe. It is certainly not comparable to Millwall.

Also, they look down on English football.

England has many well-known teams, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, but can they compare with the Spanish giants?

Barcelona fans proudly think: No.

Even if Arsenal defeated Barcelona two years ago and snatched the Champions League from Barcelona, ​​it did not change the inherent views of most Barcelona fans.

For this game, Barcelona's ball possession rate is very high, and most of the offense comes from Barcelona. The opponent Millwall only has a small amount of counterattacks, and most of the time they are in defense.

Barcelona fans believe that it is only a matter of time before the team equalizes.

The key to the game is "when will Barcelona score a goal and lead Millwall by a few goals after scoring a goal", not "whether Millwall can score and widen the score gap".

Catalan Sports TV, the commentator Fernandos Sanchez Enzolik thought so. Just before Millwall counterattacked, he kept saying, "Millwall intends to defend until the end of the game. They have almost no attacking input, we have to admit, Kevin Braniff and Jamie Vardy, they are both very good players, and they broke Barcelona's goal with each other."

"But that was just a coincidence. Barcelona's goal cannot be broken by two players."

"If Millwall can keep the goal, it will be a success. They will beat Barcelona at home and have a chance to go to the Nou Camp."

"But the chances of this happening are not high, because Barcelona's offensive ability is very strong. Even if Messi's state is a bit unexpected, other Barcelona players can also help score goals."

Next, Fernandos talked about Messi. He thought that Messi did not play well, and it was only a period of time before. "Probably Messi has never encountered such a tough defense. Livermore is a very good defensive player. He Always looking at Messi."

"But as long as Messi adapts to the intensity, he will do well..."

Then Millwall launched a counterattack.

Millwall's attacking pace was so fast that by the time Fernandos was about to jump in and introduce the attack to the fans, Vardy had already put the ball in the net.

"The ball went in..."

Fernandos' tone was a little regretful, and a little unbelievable, "Vardy's goal, he helped Millwall widen the gap..."

Fernandos felt that there was nothing to say. He explained for a long time, telling the fans that the form was beneficial to Barcelona, ​​but Millwall scored immediately?
This is too fast!

the other side.

Lineker, the British "Sky Sports" commentator, was already shouting excitedly for the goal, "Valdy——!!"

"Goooooooooal!!!"

"Vardy put in a volley and put Millwall in for the second. It was a game at the Neal Stadium but Millwall were two goals ahead and the advantage was huge."

"Barcelona has been on the offensive before. They may think that they can tie the score and gain a two-round advantage by breaking Millwall's goal, but Millwall told them with a goal that they want to tie. At the same time, we must also pay attention to defense! And Millwall's offense is not only enough to pay attention to defense!"

"We all know Millwall's offensive ability. In this game, because the opponent is Barcelona, ​​they still chose a solid defense, but a conservative style of play does not mean a reduction in efficiency. Vardy, Braniff, this Yes, the most perfect combination in world football!"

"They broke through Barcelona again. Many people were comparing Braniff and Messi before the game, but at this point in the game, we can say that, at least in the game, Braniff's performance is far more than that of Messi. Messi's..."

----

In the reports of the two national commentators, fans in the stands around the Neal Stadium fell into a carnival.

Millwall fans celebrate.

Millwall leads Barcelona by two goals, and they deserve their celebration and cheers. The game is a two-round match, but they scored two goals in the first round. If Barcelona can't score, Millwall's advantage is too great. When they grow up, they can all start to worship. Millwall entered the final and faced another English team. With no suspense, they successfully won the Champions League this season.

Having won the Premier League championship for three consecutive seasons, the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and a series of other championships, Millwall's glory will reach its theoretical peak, because it is impossible for an English club to win other honors.

In the future, when facing fans of wealthy clubs, they can proudly say, "We are fans of Millwall." Millwall's number of championships is not much worse than that of wealthy clubs, and they can almost be counted as wealthy clubs.

On the field.

Vardy's goal was a huge blow to Barcelona. They worked hard for a long time and kept attacking, but the opponent used a counterattack to successfully complete the goal and widen the score gap.

The Barcelona players couldn't help thinking, "Can we really beat such a strong opponent?"

Some players couldn't help looking at Messi, with deep disappointment in their eyes.

There are too many things placed on Messi. He is a star trained by Barcelona. He represented Barcelona as soon as he came out and is considered to be the best player in the future.

and then?
Some teammates couldn't help but think of Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho is sure to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, but he is still a player belonging to Barcelona. He failed to come to London with the team, not because of his status. Most players know why.

Because of Messi!

The club wants to cultivate Messi and make Messi a core star as soon as possible. Ronaldinho will naturally leave. No matter whether his condition is good or bad, he must leave. Now that he is leaving, is it necessary to participate in the battle? ?
Barcelona executives believe that Messi is enough to replace Ronaldinho.

But can Messi really do it?

Maybe they still believed it before, but now some teammates have doubts, "At least against Millwall, Messi can't play at all."

"If Ronaldinho was here, maybe we wouldn't be so passive."

Ronaldo will not be easily defended by the opponent.

Messi's technical strength is not inferior to Ronaldinho's, but he is still young and immature after all, his experience in battles is insufficient, and his leadership is not as good as Ronaldinho's. It is to rely on one's own strength to play.

If you really look at it from the perspective of a "front midfielder", he is actually unqualified, but his personal ability is super strong, so he is naturally completely qualified.

but……

When Messi is completely blocked, he can't play a role.

Now Messi is in such a situation. He is the pillar star of the team, but when the team is in crisis, he can't do anything.

This also led to less confidence in teammates.

Two goals behind in the first round, it is still not the end. After all, it is an away game, and there is still a chance to return to the Nou Camp, but under such a situation, the Barcelona players suddenly lost confidence. Opponents, will there be a chance when we return to Camp Nou?"

Many teammates looked at Messi and couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

Reality hit Barcelona a little harder.

But they thought that 'there is still a chance to go back to the Nou Camp behind two goals', but in fact it was just a fantasy, because the game was not over yet.

Zhang Yang also has "Speak the Way" in his hand.

When he saw Vardy and Braniff's exquisite cooperation, continuously penetrating Barcelona's goals, Zhang Yang almost forgot that he had the skills in his hands. There must be no surprises in the two rounds of the game.

In the 81st minute of the game, Zhang Yang found an opportunity and immediately used his skills.

Livermore!

Livermore has been defending Messi, but in the 81st minute, Millwall attacked twice in a row. Barcelona got the ball halfway, but failed to organize the attack, and was soon snatched back by Millwall.

Livermore plugged in!
When most people's eyes were focused on Braniff, who performed brilliantly, almost no one noticed Livermore. He rushed forward silently, and suddenly appeared at the front of the penalty area on the right.

Braniff made a cross with the ball!
Livermore keeps up with the volley!

A volley of about 20 meters, for ordinary players, needs luck to score, but for Livermore, it is almost like a penalty kick, not to mention, he also has the "speaking method at will" 'Halo.

This volley is quite powerful.

The football flew across a distance of 20 meters in an instant, and flew directly into the goal against the post. The goalkeeper Valdez couldn't even react at all, he just watched the ball fly in blankly.

"Livermore!"

"Three to zero!"

"Livermore can not only defend Messi, but also help Millwall score! This iconic shot also represents his strong shooting ability!"

"Now we can say that Millwall has one foot in the final..."

"Sky Sports" commentator Lineker, after shouting the goal, did not forget to moles Messi, "Maybe we should not compare Braniff with Messi, but Livermore, Liver Moore has been playing one-on-one with Messi, but he has scored a goal and Messi has not scored."

"So, Livermore wins."

Livermore certainly won.

In fact, the two cannot be compared at all, because they are not players in the same position, and their types are completely different, almost completely opposite--
Messi is good at dribbling, Livermore hardly dribbles.

Messi's confrontation ability is average, and Livermore's body is super strong.

Messi is good at offense, Livermore is good at defense.

Messi's most expensive offensive method is to continuously break through with the ball, and then hit the ball into the goal in various ways.

Livermore's best offense is... shooting.

Only shots.

The types of the two players are completely opposite. In fact, there is no comparison, but there is no doubt that Livermore played much better than Messi. Even if the media commented on it after the game, it would be difficult for Messi to get qualified. scores, Livermore's performance is close to perfect.

Zhang Yang is also very satisfied with Livermore.

Among the eleven players on the Millwall field, the best performers are Braniff, Vardy, and Livermore. The performance of the three is evenly matched.

And second... well, goalkeeper Graham.

Graham's performance is not bad and he has always been calm. The key is that Millwall did not concede a goal. Even if the goalkeeper is doing nothing, not conceding a goal is the greatest credit.

Not to mention the other players.

"The players with the best performance are all followers of 'Speaking Spirit Bewitching'!"

Zhang Yang sighed.

Vardy, Braniff, and Livermore are all players who are forced to improve their strength, and it is very difficult for those players who perform at their own level to perform well, even Zambrotta, Morris and others. Same.

"The strength is not as good as the plug-in!"

Zhang Yang's feeling is like this, no matter how good the player's personal level is, like Messi, the absolute top in the world, even if he is still a little immature, he is also one of the top stars, but so what?
He was still guarded by Livermore.

So the strength is not as good as cheats, this is a world full of cheats.

Zhang Yang lamented for those who didn't have cheats, just like Rijkaard in front of him. He had a very good career and was also a very good coach, but now he stood in front of him as a loser.

"We were just lucky!"

Zhang Yang shook hands with Rijkaard modestly, but the latter didn't care what he said, just kept sighing, "I didn't expect you to be so good, Braniff, Vardy, Livermore, I remember These names. If the team I coach in the future has the ability, I will definitely bring them to my team, because such opponents are terrible."

"..."

Zhang Yang said a little speechlessly, "I only heard you say you were leaving Barcelona."

"Yes, leave!"

"So for the next game, will you use a substitute lineup? You're going to leave anyway, so don't make a fearless resistance, just give us the victory."

Zhang Yang made a small joke.

Rijkaard shook his head with a wry smile. He was not in a good mood, and he should be described as 'very depressed', because the team lost three goals, and he didn't know if he had a chance when he returned to Camp Nou.

In the moments after the game, Rijkaard thought about Barcelona's complex dressing room.

Messi, Ronaldinho, etc.

He felt it was time to leave.

Because as long as he stays in the team, unless the players in the team are changed again, it is almost impossible to reorganize the locker room.

This is where the problem lies.

Many head coaches don't coach a team for more than four years. The reason is not that the team's performance is not good, but that they are 'too familiar' with the players in the team.

Familiarity has an incidental relationship.

For example, some players are not in good condition, but their past performances are satisfactory, coupled with personal relationships, etc., they will continue to be given opportunities to perform.

If you are so selfless that you don't give, you will easily become alienated.

This is just one of the problems.

For example, Manchester United coach Ferguson.

Ferguson has coached Manchester United for nearly 20 years. During this period, every player who left Manchester United will have a deadlocked relationship with Ferguson, giving people the feeling that he does not miss the old relationship at all.

Is it true?
Not necessarily.

A head coach who has coached a team for a long time can understand Ferguson, because most of the players in the team are trained by themselves, even if they are transferred from outside, they have been together for several years.

What if a newcomer arrives?
Only old people can go.

Those players who perform poorly, or those who are a bit thorny, also belong to the "direct line" players. To drive away the "direct line" players requires a lot of emotion.

Putting it on Zhang Yang, Vardy's performance will not be good after a few years, but Vardy is still working hard. Why don't you give him a chance to play, how can you just drive him away?
This is a big problem.

At that time, you had to have no scruples, don't care about the previous relationship, and break the personal relationship with Vardy cruelly, in order to continue to maintain the team.

but……

There are still many players on the team who have a good relationship with Vardy. They know how Zhang Yang treated Vardy in the past, and when they think about the current situation, they must show a no-nonsense attitude if they want to maintain authority.

So Ferguson's style also makes sense.

Of course, the above are just examples.

Rijkaard has thought about a lot of things and has made up his mind to leave. Even if the club wants to keep him, they have decided to try another environment.

Zhang Yang was surprised by Rijkaard's blunt statement that he would leave Barcelona. He still can't understand the complicated feelings, but he also thinks Rijkaard is a good person.

They kept in touch with each other.

After attending the press conference, on the way back to the locker room, Zhang Yang kept looking down at the names in the phone's address book——
Redknapp.

Rijkaard.

mclaren.

Gregory.

Hasson.

He found a depressing question, "Why is the minimum age of the person who exchanged phone numbers with me is over 40 years old..."

"My social circle is too old!"
