Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 581 Defect color
Zhang Yang doesn't care about scoring goals, and it doesn't mean that others are the same.

Seeing that Newcastle United scored a goal and hoped that Millwall would lose, the media suddenly became excited. The Manchester City Radio commentary shouted excitedly, "Martins! Martins! Martins helped Newcastle United take the lead! The Nigerian striker's volley Clean and clean, goalkeeper Graham barely reacting!"

"Don't underestimate this goal!"

"From the beginning of the season to the present, Millwall has experienced five league rounds, a Community Shield, and a UEFA Super Cup. They have won all of them. This is the first time they have fallen behind their opponents!"

"From the beginning of the game to now, Newcastle United's overall performance is very good, Millwall also failed to play an advantage at home, their overall performance is not good."

"If Newcastle United can beat Millwall to win, it will end Millwall's unbeaten momentum, and perhaps end Millwall's good state, which will affect their future league performance..."

The reporters in the media seats were also discussing.

For both sides of the game, most of them belong to neutral media, but most of them hope that Newcastle United will win, not only to end Millwall's unbeaten momentum, but also to create unpopular news.

There is basically nothing to say about Millwall's victory, which seems to many people to be too normal.

This is also the case at Millwall.

After winning consecutive league championships, fans of the public regard Millwall as a "first-class team". Newcastle United is not bad, but it certainly cannot be compared with Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams. It can only be regarded as a "second-rate team". A strong team", Newcastle United's away victory over Millwall is a big upset and will definitely become the biggest news in the sixth round.

This is true for neutral media, but even more so for hostile media.

They are already gearing up, looking forward to Millwall's defeat, and some reporters are thinking about reporting after the game, "Losing to Newcastle United is the beginning of Millwall's decline in performance. Maybe after ten rounds of the league, they will not lose. Will be getting more attention…”

According to the media, Newcastle United seems to have won the game, and Millwall's performance has begun to decline. It seems that they have seen the end of the season, and Millwall's league rankings cannot be found at the top.

But in fact, the game started less than 15 minutes ago, and Newcastle United had a little advantage by virtue of their good form, but the advantage was not great.

It is still rare for Millwall to play passively. Zhang Yang has been observing the game carefully. He found that the team's state is not a big problem. Running forward, the offense seemed too active, and the balance of offense and defense was not achieved.

If this situation continues, it will be very detrimental to the team.

No. 20 minutes into the game, Zhang Yang stood up and walked to the sidelines. He took the opportunity to call Simpson over, "I'm not trying to put pressure on you, but you must pay attention to your running position. Always remember that you are the team The core, the only core, your movement is related to the whole team."

"Today we play 442. We don't need to be too active. Every time we push normally, suppress the rhythm, participate in defense more, and let the rhythm return to normal. Do you understand?"

Simpson nodded.

The pressure on Simpson is still relatively high, because he seldom plays the core, or even the middle position. Without Morris, Braniff, and the newcomer Sneijder, he feels the burden of winning the game , all on his shoulders.

Stress is also opportunity.

When the game starts, Simpson wants to score.

This kind of mentality also leads to too impatient offense and some negligence in defense. He is the core of the team, and the performance impact is still very large.

After being reminded by Zhang Yang, Simpson understood what to do. His tactical ability is not bad, and his overall view is not bad, otherwise he cannot be used as the core. The current problem is that the style of play does not match the tactics. The 442 formation But there is no dual-core, fast-paced offensive, the cooperation between the center and the front will be blocked, and the transfer between the side and the center will not be so smooth. If you want to find opportunities, you can only stabilize. Advance, unless there is an opportunity for a quick counterattack, otherwise you must maintain a good rhythm.

The picture of Zhang Yang telling Simpson was also captured by the camera. The Manchester broadcast reporter commented, "Zhang Yang is already in a hurry! The game has just started, and he is probably dissatisfied with Simpson's performance. Simpson has always been a player on the wing. Let him play It's a little tough in the middle."

"We can see that Sneijder is sitting on the bench, but the Dutchman has just returned from the national team, and his state has probably been affected. Braniff simply did not appear in the squad. Morris is also injured. Zhang Yang did Some are unavailable, so it’s no wonder that Simpson is put in the middle..."

"But Simpson doesn't seem to be up to the task!"

"Until now, it is still difficult to draw a conclusion. Next, we still have to see what kind of performance Millwall will have. Maybe, of course, it is very likely that this game will be unpopular..."

Although it was an analysis of Millwall's deployment of troops, his tone was a little gloating.

The current situation made Newcastle United support the media proud. Before the game started, they hoped that Newcastle United would win, but they did not expect that Newcastle United could gain an advantage at the Neil Stadium and score a goal quickly.

The game also proved that Millwall's defense was not as stable as imagined.

"Maybe they have a solid defense just because of their strong offense?" Many media thought.

Zhang Yang was still standing on the sidelines.

You can know the general situation of the game in the "prediction", but you still need to observe carefully in details. After a period of time, he confirmed his opinion. There is no major problem with the team's performance, especially after Simpson returned to the field. Much more robust, once again showing maturity.

In terms of the game situation, Newcastle United still has the upper hand.

This is a little strange.

The strength of Newcastle United is definitely not as good as Millwall. That is the current Millwall, and it is not worse than Newcastle United, especially when it is a home game.

Maybe it's just... Newcastle United are doing too well! ?

In the previous games, Millwall played well and cooperated very skillfully. He also got two chances in front of the goal. Although he was still not as good as Newcastle United, there was no problem with his overall performance, and it was not obvious that any players were in poor condition.

Newcastle United performed better, which can only be attributed to their on-the-spot performance.

Improvised play is more important in football matches, they seized the opportunity, only three shots and one goal, Millwall fell behind.

Zhang Yang was still a little puzzled.

The explanation for the opponent's good performance seems to be in the past, but he always feels that there is something wrong, but what is certain is that if Newcastle United gets another chance, he must make a shot, otherwise he will be poured into two goals and try to catch up. It's dangerous to go up.

At present, let the team "experience" the feeling of falling behind.

The team’s experience of being behind is also a kind of experience. It’s just a league in front of us. In case of important games such as the Champions League knockout round or the final of a certain cup, no matter how strong the team is and how well they perform, they will not play when they are behind. The team cannot win the final victory.

----

The match between Millwall and Newcastle United is still going on fiercely.

The players on the field are very active.

Newcastle United cannot be said to have an advantage. Their ball possession rate is about 50.00%. One percentage point more can hardly be called an advantage. But many people think that Newcastle United has an advantage, or that they have no disadvantage in playing It is already a great advantage.

Many people are also talking about Newcastle United's lead.

In the past two seasons, Millwall has been too strong, winning consecutive league championships, and has played 43 unbeaten rounds so far. Millwall's dominance has lasted for more than two seasons.

It's been too long!
For more than two seasons, Millwall has shown a strong offensive ability. They rarely fell behind, and Newcastle United took the lead, which also made many people look forward to it. They hope that Newcastle United will maintain a good performance and hope that Newcastle United will eventually win. millwall.

At the same time, the camera lens is also frequently pointed at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's performance was very unusual. He stood on the sidelines most of the time, watching the game carefully. Obviously, the smile on his face was less, and his expression became more serious.

"Probably Zhang Yang is worried about the game!" Many media analyzed and pointed out.

Zhang Yang was not worried, but was observing the game.

In the contest on the field, it seems that Newcastle United performed better, but Millwall also continued to find no opportunities.

Just 442!

Does the 442 formation still need to adapt?Even if you randomly find players in eleven positions, they can play at a good level. There is a tacit understanding between the players on the field, but they just can't find opportunities for a long time.

Is it the core of the midfield problem?

Zhang Yang watched carefully for a while, and found that Simpson was also performing well. He retreated when it was time to retreat, and stepped forward when it was time to step forward. Overall, there was no problem.

why?
The only good news is that Millwall's defense has stabilized a bit. Newcastle United performed well, but it is also difficult to break through Millwall's defense.

Four and ten minutes passed quickly.

"Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott said, "There was not much time left in the first half. Both teams were working hard, but both sides also paid attention to defense. The game was exciting, but there were not many opportunities. It seems that the first half will end 0-1 with high probability."

Paul Scott also explained Millwall's 'poor performance', "Millwall was affected by the international match day, several main players in the middle of the midfield were unable to play, and Simpson seemed a little immature as the core leader... "

The camera pointed at Zhang Yang again.

Zhang Yang is still standing on the sidelines, his eyes are looking directly at the game field, but his thinking has long been absent from the field, and he is constantly recalling the changes in the play style in the past two seasons and the effect of the team's new tactics.

In the first season of entering the Premier League, Millwall's strength was insufficient. Most of them adopted 442 and 4231 formations, and most of them were still defensive.

Later, with the improvement of strength, a new tactic was formulated, that is, the 451 formation of "dual-core" parallel positions. The effect of 451 is still good. The offensive ability and the ability to break dense defense have been strengthened. The key is that the defense It is also quite good. The combination of a single midfielder and a double central defender can also guarantee a certain defensive strength.

The 451 formation has been used until now, and the effect is very good.

During the preparations in July, with the arrival of new players, the numerical value of "Yan Ling Calculation" shows that the 352 formation can exert its strength better. Double midfielders, single midfielders, and double-core front and rear positions will increase the attack speed and forward speed. The fluency of passing makes the team play more threateningly.

The strength evaluation of the 352 formation is very high, but the actual effect can only be said to be average. Zhang Yang has always felt that it is because the team is not used to it and is not skilled in using the new tactics, but now he finds that the problem is not here.

In this game, the team used the most basic 442.

There is nothing to say about the 442 formation. Under the premise of no special requirements, 442 is a formation with a balanced offense and defense. Of course, it also depends on the style of players in each position. Millwall is good at offensive football, and the 442 formation will be biased towards offense. .

The style of play focuses on offense, which is actually nothing.

Now what Zhang Yang sees is that the team's 442 formation play has the color of 352 play, or the "flaw color" in it!
This is not right!
If it wasn't for this game, Zhang Yang would not have realized that there would be problems with the new 352 formation. From the overall game process, he discovered the problem.

"The attack is too impatient!"

During the preparation training and the game, the team has been constantly emphasizing speed, advancing speed, and counterattack speed. The most important thing is to pass the ball out quickly. The best pass forward has already formed a habit. The pass in the backcourt is better, but the pass between the midfield and the frontcourt. It is difficult to pass a good ball with a quick response. Of course, only top midfielders such as Sneijder, Morris, and Braniff can perform better in fast-paced offensives, but they are still affected.

This is also the reason why fast break efficiency is not high.

Zhang Yang had been thinking about making up for the lack of efficiency with the number of attacks before, but in fact, when the football reached the opponent's feet, the rhythm would definitely slow down, and the time would be delayed. After the whole game, the number of attacks could not increase much.

So fast break and efficiency must find a balance.

If the fast break is too fast, your own players will not adapt to it, which will lead to poor efficiency and slow offensive speed, which will lead to inability to exert tactical power.

This balance is difficult to find.

Zhang Yang has been thinking carefully. He found that the 352 formation is really not that easy to adapt to. It may take a longer time for the team to truly display its power.
