Chapter 659 The Second Ball

After completing the goal, Vardy rushed to the sidelines excitedly. He knelt down on the ground, played a knee slide, rushed out more than one meter, and then raised his fists in the air and waved in celebration.

Vardy was also very excited to score the first goal in the Champions League final.

The other Millwall players immediately followed him and pulled him to the ground. Players rushed up one by one and happily played stacking arhats.

Zhang Yang frowned at this scene.

It’s nothing for the players to be excited about stacking arhats. Vardy’s sliding to celebrate is definitely not advocating. That kind of action is really dangerous. If in the Champions League final, after scoring a goal, he was injured because of the celebration. It would be a bit funny up.

Fortunately, Vardy was not injured.

After the celebration was over, he stood up as if he had nothing to do, but it could be seen from his hair and clothes that he was indeed very embarrassed.

"It's the first goal in the Champions League final!"

"Valdy! He won the Premier League Golden Boot and will also be the European Golden Boot. At the same time, he also scored the most goals in the Champions League. C-Ronaldo also scored a lot, but he is still three less than him. Surprisingly, he will also be the Golden Boot of the Champions League."

"Valdy's performance this season is perfect. Looking back at the beginning of the season, many people were not optimistic that he could replace Darren Bent, but it is certain that Vardy has done better than Bent."

"However, Morris was undoubtedly the core of the offensive just now, and he was one of the contributors to the goal."

"..."

Millwall's celebrations were over, but the impact of the goals was not.

The first goal in the Champions League was just a goal, but it made Millwall more favorable. Many people began to look forward to the championship. Assistant coach Pierce said with emotion, "I never thought about it. Come to Millwall. In the first season, I was able to win so many championships. Now I am still on the stage of the Champions League final, and I am already ahead of my opponent..."

Looking back on the experience of this year, Pierce felt a little dreamy.

When he led the Manchester City team, he was also one of the head coaches of the Premier League. He attracted attention wherever he went, but at that time it was very difficult to lead the team to win the competition. He didn't even qualify for the competition. After coming to Millwall, the situation was different. He lost the attention of the Premier League coach and became a little less conspicuous. Even if he was an assistant coach of Millwall, he was only an assistant coach after all. , Without being able to dominate a team, media interest is minimal.

but……

Millwall kept winning.

Pierce didn't even know what it meant to lose. After one season, they only lost the league at the end of the season, or they didn't pay much attention to the game.

In most of the remaining games, they successfully defeated their opponents, and there were occasional draws, but it didn't matter much at all.

One season to the present, the team is still able to perform well in the final of the Champions League. Pierce recalled that his job was easier than before, and the consecutive victories also brought joy and glory.

"If I had known that Millwall's performance was so good, I would have been an assistant coach earlier."

After hearing this, Zhang Yang laughed.

Who would have cared about Millwall a few seasons ago?At that time, let alone asking Pierce to be the assistant coach, even if he was invited to be the head coach, the other party would consider it carefully and then... refuse.

That is inevitable.

There is a dignified Manchester City who can coach, and there is no need to be an assistant coach in a newly promoted Premier League team.

In the past three seasons, Millwall has completely changed a team, from a newly promoted team in the Premier League to the top team in Europe. The championships won in the three seasons can be compared with the centuries-old giants in Europe.

If they win this championship, it can be said that Millwall has already entered the ranks of the giants.

He single-handedly shaped the giants.

Zhang Yang is also gratified by this, it is a great success.

When he leaves at the end of the season, it seems that there is nothing left, because he has done everything he can, led the team for more than three seasons, helped the team win so many championships, and cultivated so many talented stars.

What's next for Millwall?

Zhang Yang shook his head.

No one can say what will happen in the future. At this point, the form of English football has become completely different, but what is certain is that the competition in the future will only become more intense.

That's not something he needs to think about.

The most important thing at the moment is to beat Manchester United and win this game.

The game restarted.

In the case of being one goal behind, Manchester United continued to work hard into the game. Many players remembered their record against Millwall, and their morale was a little low. But after all, it is the final of the Champions League. Every player knows that they must work hard. In the last minute, as long as there is a chance, it must be seized.

Now it is only one goal behind, and there is still a chance to tie.

After the game restarted, Manchester United's offensive became more fierce, and the side that was often behind would strengthen its offense.

Manchester United is also very unwilling.

"For three full seasons, Manchester United have not won Millwall!" This is a fact, but Manchester United can't accept it.

They are Manchester United!

Manchester United!

Since the establishment of the Premier League, the best-performing team, the world's top giants, every player in the team is a well-known star, and the overall is definitely not worse than Millwall.

Why can't you win?
Simultaneously.

The Manchester United fans in the auditorium also used the loudest shouts to give Manchester United enough support.

Manchester United players have released their energy in the game, and the overall performance is also quite good.

It's a pity that Millwall's defense is too tight.

Whenever facing a big competition, unless there are special circumstances, Zhang Yang will formulate a conservative strategy. Defense wins is not empty talk. Only stability can hope to have the last laugh.

Millwall is conservative in their approach to the game. After successfully leading Manchester United, the whole team played more conservatively, because they had no pressure at all, they could play steadily, and they were not in a hurry to score goals.

Manchester United is the exact opposite.

The Manchester United players on the field were eager to equalize the score, and their mentality became a little impetuous.

----

The core of Millwall's offense is in the middle.

The combination of Maurice and Braniff has created countless opportunities for the team in the past games. Livermore's supplement to the offense is also very important, so that the midfielder not only has the ability to assist, but also directly scores goals. Ability.

In comparison, the two wings are much worse.

This is related to the position of the winger and the ability of the winger. Simpson and Maxi are still inferior in terms of the overall situation and ability, but this time Simpson helped the team find an opportunity.

When the football passed the penalty line, Braniff gave the ball to Simpson.

Often at this time, Simpson will cooperate with Braniff and Morris, or cooperate with the right back to control the ball and push forward as much as possible. The number of times he personally dribbles is still relatively small. This time Manchester United's defense was half a beat slow, Simpson had space around him, and he chose to kick the ball ahead.

Long transfer!

Simpson's excellent positioning skills also helped to improve his long pass ability. His sudden long pass made Manchester United unprepared, because Millwall has not played a few long passes since the start of the game, and prefers to use short passes. Steady delivery to find opportunities.

Maxi rushed to the front from the left and unloaded the ball steadily.

This long pass is too important!

Because the football is on the right side, Manchester United's defensive center of gravity is also on that side. After the long pass was transferred, they did not adjust their center of gravity for a while, and the defensive formation was a little unstable. The players on the field felt caught off guard.

Maxi quickly moved forward after stopping the ball.

In the entire Millwall formation, the fastest players are Maxi and Vardy. The latter is a striker who doesn't make many breakthroughs with the ball. Maxi is different. As long as he gets the ball, he can move forward. Quick dribbling is a unique skill. After he rushed with the ball, Manchester United immediately realized the danger.

"Maxie! He's fast!"

"Dangerous! Be careful!"

"Look this time! Millwall counterattacks quickly!"

The situation of the game suddenly became tense, and the British BBC broadcast commentator Lineker shouted that as a legendary star in England, he was also surprised by Simpson's wonderful long pass transfer.

That was a stroke of genius.

The Manchester United players desperately chased back, but there was a lot of space in front of Maxi. He just had to keep moving forward quickly, and no player had time to organize.

At the penalty area line, Maxi slowed down.

Ferdinand rushed over, and there was no way for a central defender to defend the wing. He could have rushed directly into the penalty area without going to Maxi, but Ferdinand did not rush up, but was stuck in the middle of the passing route. Maxi has a certain understanding that the Argentine winger is very fast and quite sharp when passing people, but he rarely dribbles the ball to complete the shot.

"He should pass the ball..."

The opponent's offense has reached this point, and Ferdinand is not sure, but as long as he defends alone, he can only gamble on the odds.

At this moment, Maxi swung the ball forward, and suddenly accelerated again--
He wants to rush!

Ferdinand's position was a little further back. He could only limit the pass, and had no way to stop the breakthrough. He could only let Maxi break into the penalty area.

"Maxie!"

"This is a great opportunity!"

Manchester United goals are dangerous.

Maxi's position is close to the side. After breaking through the penalty area, he is also on the far left, but after all, entering the penalty area is equivalent to entering the hinterland. After breaking through Ferdinand, he can shoot directly, but the angle is a bit small.

At this time, he has more choices.

In the end, Maxi still didn't shoot directly, he chose to push the ball to the middle.

Football is at the gate!

The pass caught United by surprise, and what followed was exactly as they had imagined.

"Valdy—!"

Vardy had a chance to touch the ball first, but he was still affected by Ferdinand's catching up, and he was a little unstable in running. He chose to slow down and didn't take the initiative to fight for the opportunity.

There's Braniff behind!

Braniff also followed Vidic, but he squeezed Vidic hard and his position was better. The moment the football rushed over, he stretched out his right leg, and the toe still touched the ball.

The football changed direction instantly and headed towards the goal.

Then, roll across the gate line.

The entire stadium was silent, and then it was filled with excited cheers like a volcanic eruption!

"Goooooooooooal!!"

Even the fans were shouting with all their strength, and their shouts made the recording equipment in the stadium buzz, and the voice of the commentator in the live TV broadcast was no longer clear, "Braniff! Braniff!"

"2 to 0! Millwall leads Manchester United by two goals!"

"Braniff! Millwall! Great Millwall! 2 to 0, there was not much time in the first half, the score was rewritten again, Braniff helped the team and gave Manchester United a heavy blow!"
