Chapter 143 Facing the Reality
Chapter 143 Facing the Reality
Millwall swept Leeds United, won another victory [-]-[-], and successfully entered the fifth place in the league.
Millwall fans are excited and delighted by the team's results.
After the game, many fans stayed at the Neil Stadium and refused to leave. They kept shouting and cheering for the victory. That kind of fanaticism also gave Millwall a headache.
The players had to return to the pitch and thank the fans once again before leaving.
During this process, the one whose name was called out the most by fans was not the team core Jody Morris, nor forward Neil Harris or others, but Zhang Yang who stood at the end of the team.
"Zhang Yang!"
"we support you!"
"You are great!"
Shouts representing simple support sounded from the stands. While enjoying the cheers of the fans, Zhang Yang had to stand up with a smile and wave to the stands.
The fans in the front row asked for a handshake with Zhang Yang, and the fans standing behind also asked for the same.
Zhang Yang thought about it, and still agreed to the intimate request, but when he walked up the aisle of the stands, he was hugged tightly by a female fan who jumped out.
Zhang Yang would not face the crazy situation directly, no one knew what would go wrong, so he hurried back, but there was still a big lipstick mark on his cheek.
Many fans laughed in the stands.
"These fans are so enthusiastic!" On the way back to the club, Zhang Yang rubbed his cheeks in distress. The lipstick marks on it were a bit too thick, and there were some marks of green paint on them. It was difficult to wipe them off.
"I really envy you, you are young! I want to be kissed passionately by female fans, but unfortunately no one wants to do that."
Odells said with some envy.
The players in the back row of the car were all talking about the enthusiasm of the fans and Zhang Yang's embarrassment just now. What is it like, what is there to be envious of?"
"I saw."
After finishing speaking, Aldous stopped deliberately.
Zhang Yang stared at him with two eyes, until he said embarrassedly, "Well, I only saw the silhouette, she has a good figure and long brown hair, she should be a pretty girl."
"Thanks, I can have dinner now."
"I saw!"
A head in the back row came over, it was Curtis Weston, Zhang Yang and Alderston looked over, Weston was a little embarrassed, "I mean...boss, Mr. Furnival, I mean I See, it was actually a girl, only 15, because I knew her."
"You know her?"
Weston nodded, glanced at the back row, and whispered, "Didn't you notice? David didn't get into the car, and he walked away alone. Many people have seen her, she is David's sister, but I don't know what it's called, David never takes the initiative to introduce..."
Zhang Yang opened his mouth wide.
Aldous was also surprised, but there was more gossip in his eyes.
"Are you sure? Curtis?" Zhang Yang asked carefully.
Weston was a little confused, so he nodded and said, "Of course, I'm very sure, I saw her two years ago, and before I left, I saw David with her, but boss, why did you... yes , I was surprised..."
Zhang Yang asked seriously, "Do you know that she is attending St. Paul's Girls' High School?"
"St. Paul's Girls' School?"
"impossible!"
Not only Curtis Weston, but even Aldous couldn't help being surprised, Zhang Yang nodded affirmatively, "I heard from David that she is studying at St. Paul's Girls' High School, which is a prestigious school. "
"Excellent girl!"
"Yeah! It's so good, let alone St. Paul's Girls' High School, I don't even want to go to an ordinary high school."
"But……"
Aldous struggled for a long time before saying, "How could she be David's sister? David? Can his sister go to St. Paul's Girls' High School?"
"Ahem, let's not gossip about other people's families."
Zhang Yang said solemnly, but his eyes turned to Weston. Weston received it, and he blinked continuously, meaning 'don't worry boss, I will investigate clearly'.
----
It is very exciting news that Millwall has won four consecutive victories. Regardless of the fans and other people, the atmosphere of the entire first team has become very good, and the confidence of the players in the team has increased, just like Zhang Yang said, " We achieved our first small goal!"
When Zhang Yang clarified his goal of upgrading, he locked in these four games.
"This is a game that must be won!"
In fact, Zhang Yang doesn't want to create pressure on the team, but Millwall is exactly when pressure is needed.
Before there was no promotion goal, the players were all indifferent to the game, but with the big goal of promotion, they became much harder. The first small goal was to win four games, which was a bit stressful to say the least. But now they did.
Stoke City, Cardiff City, Brighton and Leeds United, they have defeated four opponents in a row.
When the first small goal is achieved, it means that the first step to success has been taken. Many people feel that it is not too far away to complete the upgrade, at least they see hope.
But the next game is still crucial.
Many players in the team felt a little relaxed, but Zhang Yang knew the importance of the next game. In the 46 games in the entire league, one game may not be a big deal at all, but no matter how many victories Millwall wins, they It's just fifth in the league.
Zhang Yang's goal of leading the team is to squeeze into the top two in the league.
That's not easy.
Millwall has pulled down too many points, and every opportunity to catch up directly cannot be missed.
The game against Wigan Athletic is comparable to the other two games. As long as the team can score three points, it means that the competitors have lost three points.
think about it.
Now there are seven league points difference between Millwall and Wigan Athletic. If they lose the game, the gap between the two teams will widen to ten points, and if they win the game, the gap will become four.
This is the difference.
Ten points and four points, one out and one in is six league points.
Wigan Athletic is currently ranked No. 2 in the league. They are tied with No.[-] Sunderland in points. If they can beat Wigan Athletic, they will be only four points away from the 'League No. [-]'. There are still nine games to come. Mill There are many opportunities for Wall.
On the contrary, a difference of ten points is different.
Teams like Sunderland and Wigan Athletic may not be able to lose ten points in nine games. The team may not even have a chance if they work hard. When the time comes for the four teams to compete, no small mistakes will be allowed.
That's too dangerous!
In order to have a better chance of defeating Wigan Athletic, Zhang Yang has personally supervised the training for several days, earnestly urged the players to carry out targeted tactical training, and constantly used various methods to cheer the team up, so that every player became high-spirited .
At the same time, Zhang Yang is also troubled by the starting lineup.
The formation for the match against Wigan Athletic has been determined, which is the 523 defensive formation. The whole team has been training in the past week, but one position in the starting lineup is very important——
up front.
The 523 formation is not without a striker. The striker is in the middle of the '3'. Millwall must rely on the striker to attack.
The choice of striker is the key.
Zhang Yang has three choices. One is Neil Harris. Harris has always been the main striker. He has played the most games and scored the most goals, but the problem is that he is a bit old. At 32 years old, he is not young at all. His performance has always been very good, but when it comes to the game, he is a little impatient when he really wants to rush.
Harris is not the type of forward who excels at speed.
The second choice is Kevin Kiel. Kevin Kiel is a high center forward with good skills at his feet, but he is much worse than Neil Harris. He has the advantage of body, not technology.
It is a bit unimaginable for a player with the body of a high center forward to lead the striker and help the team score goals.
The last choice was actually a choice that Zhang Yang made in his mind, and that was Braniff who had just returned to the team.
Braniff has excellent skills and a strong body. He is also a fast and technical striker. His style is the first choice for this game. Braniff has also performed well in recent days.
"Braniff?"
Zhang Yang frowned slightly. He was still a little worried that this guy would not obey orders. If he had a choice, he would definitely not consider Braniff, but he was a little clearer, "You can't bring your personal emotions to work." As a head coach, you should do this even more.
After the training that day, Zhang Yang asked Aldous to find Braniff.
In the entire Millwall first team, Braniff was the most special one, because he was punished by Zhang Yang, and he was the only player who was punished. I haven't had a chance to play until now.
Nearly two months have now passed.
Two months!
For a professional player, every game he can play is very important. Braniff is the 'chief substitute' for Millwall's striker. He has played a lot. Suddenly, he has not played for two months. It wasn't because of the injury, anyone would worry about their career instead.
Braniff didn't even know what to do.
Two months ago, Braniff still felt that he had an advantage because the media supported him. Zhang Yang must have stayed with the team for a while, but now he sees the situation clearly.
Zhang Yang left?
Maybe he will leave in the future, but it must not be dismissed.
Just looking at Millwall's results, anyone must admit the young Chinese's ability to lead the team.
So as long as the opponent continues to target him, he doesn't have to think about playing this season, the fans will not stand by him, and the media reporters have disappeared without a trace.
No one will support him.
His agent, Curris, has warned 'don't fight against your head coach', "If you want to leave, I can help you contact the next home in advance, but even if you want to leave, it's no good to fight against the other party. You know, not playing for half a year means that no club will be willing to pay a large transfer fee. When Millwall rejects the offer, it will be impossible for you to leave. After another season, you will not even be able to find another home. "
This chilling sentence also made Braniff realize the reality.
If he stays in Millwall all the time, but doesn't have a chance to play, he can't do anything, he can only watch the good times pass by, maybe it's time to consider retirement life.
Braniff didn't want that.
He was afraid.
So in recent times, Braniff has become very 'behaved', arriving early for daily training, and being very serious in the middle of training, for fear of being caught by Zhang Yang again.
When he heard Aldous say that Zhang Yang asked him to go to the head coach's office, Braniff became very disturbed.
To meet that Chinese?
Damn it!
I haven't done anything wrong in the past few days!
Braniff knocked on the door of the head coach's office with this feeling of apprehension. He hoped that Zhang Yang would not be there, so that the matter could be postponed until tomorrow.
"Please come in!"
A crisp shout in the room forced Braniff to face the reality, and walked in with his head lowered.
