Chapter 165 Adding Effective Ways to Break the Door

In the pre-match press conference, Zhang Yang praised Wise's player ability level, but no media reporter would be foolish enough to think that he was really optimistic about Wise's ability level.

Wise is too old after all.

Most professional football players can retire before the age of 35, and the older ones can persist until the age of 36 or 37, but those who can reach this age can generally only be goalkeepers, and some goalkeepers can persist until they are 40 years old , It is difficult for players in other positions to persist until they retire at an advanced age. The decline in physical ability will cause them to be unable to keep up with the needs of the professional arena.

Wise, who was born in 1966, is about to pass his 39th birthday. Who can expect a nearly 40-year-old midfielder to return to the game and perform well after four months of injury?
So Zhang Yang just praised Wise's level of ability to convey a message: Wise played as a player, and it will always be like this until the end of this season.

The media who came to interview all regretted that the reason why they cared about Wise’s appearance was that they wanted to know whether Wise would stay on the team at the end of the season, or what role Wise would play if he stayed on the team. Work?If leaving, has the message been confirmed?

If Wise himself didn't answer, they could only do the interview in a different direction.

Zhang Yang's answer is still in the "official tone" range. Wise played as a player. At the end of the season, it is difficult to say whether he will stay at Millwall, let alone what status he will stay.

Zhang Yang also used Wise's return to release a smoke bomb to the opponent Reading.

The Reading team is definitely not prepared for Wise's return. Wise has entered the squad and may play in the game.

Wise is not an ordinary player. Even though he is old, he is still one of Millwall's best players when he is part-time head coach in the first half of the schedule. Reese compared.

If Wise plays, how will the Reading team respond?

Reading coach Koppel is considering this question, which was brought up by his assistant Brown Nien, but the question just passed in his mind for a while, and then he smiled relievedly and said to Brown Nien, "Do you think a Can the 39-year-old veteran make any impact? If they choose to replace Wise, maybe our hope of winning will be greater."

This is half a joke.

What Koppel meant was not to worry too much about it.

Brown-Nin nodded in conviction.

Koppel has not been in charge of the Reading team for a long time, but his fame alone is enough to bring majesty. Brown Ninn is the original coach of the Reading team, but he still wholeheartedly assists Koppel in taking charge of the team.

Rewind the time ten years ago and Koppel is a well-known talent in English football.

Koppel was once a famous star in England. He played for Manchester United for eight seasons and has always been the main midfielder. He also entered the England national team and became the absolute main midfielder. Both the club and the national team performed very well. The reason why he did not leave too much fame in history is only because of a serious injury at the age of 28, which led to early retirement at the age of 28.

After Koppel recovered from injury, he took over the Crystal Palace team at the age of only 29 years old. Then Koppel coached Crystal Palace for nine seasons, allowing Crystal Palace to rise from a third-tier league team to a top league team. At the best result, he also won the third place in the league and the runner-up in the FA Cup, and defeated Everton in the ZDS Cup final at Wembley in 1991 and successfully won the cup.

Koper was a well-known star in his player days. After becoming a professional coach, he also led the Crystal Palace to glory. Therefore, when people talk about Koper, they also used to add the phrase "former Crystal Palace coach".

When Koppel chose to coach the Reading team, although the results of leading the team were not gorgeous, he still received support from the club, fans and the media.

Now Koppel leads the Reading team, and the goal is to hit the Premier League.The league has entered the final stage, Reading's sixth position is not stable, and every point becomes extremely important.

This home field is very important.

Millwall also attaches great importance to the game. Before the game, Zhang Yang did in-depth research on the Reading team and found that this team is very good at playing positively. The defensive style is very tough. The offensive style of play is not gorgeous, but very practical.

Millwall had no other choice but to open up and fight hard.

Wise felt the same way.

Millwall doesn't really have many options. When playing against Wigan Athletic, they can choose to defend firmly and use quick counterattacks to find opportunities, but that is 'risky' and the chances of winning the game are not high.

The strength of the Reading team can't keep up with Wigan Athletic. Millwall doesn't need to do that, but the team doesn't have many cards, and they have few tactical methods trained on weekdays.

Then just watch the game.

----

With the ability of "foreseeing" in hand, Zhang Yang has a great grasp of the game.The starting lineup for this game, the result of the "spirit divination" is "auspicious", the situation is not particularly good, but it is definitely not bad.

But what Zhang Yang never expected was that the first goal would be Reading.

It was in the 11th minute of the opening game, Reading passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, and the opposing forward Malmo volleyed and sent the ball into the goal.

Zhang Yang predicted the goal in advance, and he told him to pay attention to the defense at the front of the penalty area, but Malmo still got a chance to shoot.Zhang Yang also blessed Graham with luck in the middle, and Graham accurately saved the ball, but another striker of the Reading team, Brunson, quickly rushed to the position and sent the ball into the empty goal.

Seeing the football fly into the goal, Zhang Yang took a deep breath, couldn't help curling up the corners of his mouth, and said through gritted teeth, "Is that okay?" What answered him was wild cheers from the home fans.

Reading completed the goal, and Millwall didn't feel very good.

Aldous began to worry about the defense, "Zhang, our defense seems to be...?"

"Just an accident."

"Accident?"

"Yes, it was an accident. There is no problem with our defense, but the opponent's performance is too good." Zhang Yang is very sure of this. Graham blessed luck and did not prevent the opponent from scoring. This can only show the excellent state of the opponent's striker Malmo .

The game continues.

Reading's morale was boosted after scoring the goal, and they continued to put pressure on Millwall in the half.

The two sides had a head-to-head confrontation.

With the scrambling for various positions, the hard running of a single player, and the offense and defense of you and me, Reading and Millwall jointly performed a wonderful three-and-a-half minutes.

Every fan in the auditorium watched the game seriously.

The tense situation and fierce confrontation on the field attracted everyone's attention. The frontal offensive and defensive confrontation performed in the game showed the charm of football, but as the head coach of one side, he is not like a fan, just watching the game That's it.

Zhang Yang has been analyzing the game.

He is not analyzing his opponent, but his own performance.

Nearly four and 10 minutes into the game, Reading and Millwall had mutual offense and defense. According to the data, there is actually not much difference, but Reading formed more threats. For example, they directly threatened the goal three times. In contrast, Millwall has just one.

This is the difference.

Why is there such a difference?
Some people may attribute the reason to the home game, and others may attribute it to luck. After all, there is not much difference between once and three times, but Zhang Yang doesn't think so. He found the gap between Millwall and the opponent: the team did not directly Effective means of entry.

Whether it is the forward Neil Harris, the core Jody Morris and the two full-backs Josh Simpson and Joey Healy, the abilities of these players are good, but they are all relying on luck. Just like a direct pass to the penalty area, under the strict defense of the opponent, being able to receive the pass at a key position is entirely dependent on luck. Even if one's own player can grab the position, it may not necessarily be able to create a threat.

Reading is different.

They have a core player - Malmo.

In English football, Malmo's name has not changed. At the age of 28, he is still playing in the British Championship. He can only be regarded as an ordinary striker, but Malmo's ability is quite outstanding. Every time Malmo receives a pass in the frontcourt, Both are enough to make Millwall feel like an enemy, and his abilities are also very comprehensive. Whether it is a breakthrough with the ball or finding an opportunity to shoot by himself, it is a very effective means.

This is the difference.

In the current game field, there is not much difference in strength between Reading and Millwall, and there is not much difference in style. Both teams play practical football, and the passing is also straightforward.

A player who plays well in the frontcourt makes a difference in performance.

This is like Barcelona with Ronaldinho and Barcelona without Ronaldinho. There is only one player difference between the two, but the difference of one Ronaldinho is enough to decide The game is over.

Malmo is not Ronaldinho.Reading and Millwall are definitely not as good as Barcelona.

Then something needs to change.

----

The first half ended 1-0, and the Reading team at home led Millwall [-]-[-].

During the intermission, many media were discussing the game.

Many media reporters are very excited, they all hope that the Reading team can win in order to curb Millwall's 'arrogance' in the league!
Millwall has won eight consecutive victories!

If they are allowed to continue their winning streak, it is really possible to overtake Wigan Athletic and squeeze into the top two in the league. This is something that many media do not want to see.

It is actually no big deal for Millwall to enter the top two in the league. The media in the London area will be very happy, but they don't want to see Millwall's young head coach achieve the goal of leading the team.

"Millwall is finally going to lose!"

"That is for sure!"

"Even if that Chinese, no matter how talented he is, he can't catch up with Koppel!"

"After losing this game, Millwall will be four points behind Wigan Athletic. They basically have no hope of reaching the second place in the league!"

"Even if Millwall participates in the promotion play-offs, it will be difficult to be the opponent of Reading. They will stay in the Championship next season!"

"Maybe Zhang Yang will be dismissed because of this, and it's not necessarily..."

"..."

When the media reporters were 'imagining', Zhang Yang was thinking about the countermeasures for the second half. He needed to let the team increase effective scoring methods.

How to increase it?
The other frontcourt players currently on the field are all capable, experienced, and stable players, but they also have a shortcoming, that is, they do not have special outstanding abilities.

So Zhang Yang set his sights on David Livermore.
