Chapter 597 Morris and Ned

Millwall's 451 "dual-core parallel position" style of play is a set of flexible tactics. The focus of offense is that football can be transferred quickly, and the connection between the side and the center is close, but tactics are dead and people are alive. Tactics cannot determine everything. When it is required to play conservatively, the overall is still conservative, and it is difficult to reflect flexibility.

At No. 206 minutes into the game, Zhang Yang walked to the sidelines, called Morris on the field, and told him to explain some changes to the others.

Zhang Yang warned for half a minute, but he ignored the game as it was going on. The loss of Morris would have a big impact. Everton penetrated the middle and almost found opportunities outside the penalty area. Fortunately, Livermore's defense was not bad. In time, the ball was driven out of bounds at the critical moment.

Morris returned to the field and told Zhang Yang's instructions to others.

Millwall's adjustment is very simple. They need to play more flexibly. They must not continue to advance on the ground. Putting in more sounds complicated, but it is actually very simple. It is to let the wings and midfielder play out, give enough support to the frontcourt, and add enough offensive points.

As long as the offensive characteristics of each position of the 451 formation can be brought into play, flexibility will naturally come into being. Every position in the midfield is a firepower point, and it will be very difficult for Everton to target defense.

This is actually a bit risky.

Millwall's two formations, 451 and 352, are both dual-core and emphasize offense. As long as the offense is played, the defense will definitely be weaker.

Zhang Yang believes that the team can "fight hard". At present, Everton is only "stable" overall. If the defenders pay more attention to defense and don't give the opponent's forwards a chance, it will be difficult for them to score.

The next game continued, and Millwall's offensive was significantly enhanced.

From No. 208 minutes to No. 30 minutes, Millwall attacked for nearly 3 minutes in a row, almost playing around the Everton half. The most beautiful one in the middle was the cooperation of Pires, Braniff and Simpson. , Pires passed the ball to the middle, and Braniff gave Simpson a kick. Two consecutive crosses shifted the focus of the attack. Everton had no time to block the right, and almost let Luca Toni seize the opportunity. .

Although there was no goal, the effect of the adjustment can already be seen.

The off-site media also analyzed——
"Zhang Yang seems to have made adjustments, and Millwall's offensive has gradually come out."

"Everton is very passive. Facing Millwall, the rapid shift of the center of gravity of the attack on the left and right flanks, their defense is a bit exhausted!"

"This is Millwall's goal. Among the twenty teams in the Premier League, only in Millwall can we see the smooth connection between the two wings and the center!"

"Millwall tactics, relying on passing, played the effect of having David Beckham, they can quickly transfer the football from one way to the other!"

"Everton is in danger!"

"..."

Millwall relied on his flexible style of play to gain some advantages in the situation, but there is a saying in football games that "you can't get the ball if you gain momentum". It's not just that he didn't score, because Everton consciously strengthened their defense, and even had few chances to shoot. Most of the offensives reached the front of the penalty area and were directly intercepted.

Looking at the situation on the field, Zhang Yang couldn't help frowning.

Everton is really hard to play.

Millwall's offensive flexibility has increased and the midfielder's control ability has increased, but Everton has also strengthened its defense, and it is not easy to score.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a long time, and decided to play "more flexibly".

He chose to substitute.

In the 305th minute of the game, Millwall made substitution adjustments, captain Morris went off the field, and Sneijder came on as a substitute.

"Substitution?"

"Millwall going for a substitution? Morris?"

"Why replace Morris?"

"..."

This substitution confuses many people.

Morris is the captain of Millwall and has always been a core player of Millwall. He has very strong leadership on the field and has performed well so far. It is a bit strange to be replaced.

Also, change now?
The first half is not over yet!

Zhang Yang doesn't think so much. He has absolute control over the team. Unlike other coaches, when he sees a problem and makes adjustments, he also needs to consider the emotions of the players.

In order to win the game, it is also important to make substitutions as early as possible.

Morris is the captain, and he performed well, but currently he has to play more flexibly and find more opportunities. Morris, whose style is more "conservative", is not suitable to stay on the court.

If it was last season, Millwall could only bite the bullet and fight the opponent in a war of attrition, but now it is different, with Sneijder with better skills in the team.

The cooperation between Sneijder and his teammates is not as good as that of Morris, but his personal ability is very good, especially the coordination ability as a core unit and the ability to organize offenses are better than Morris.

Morris is more suitable to play as a defensive midfielder. His defensive ability is very strong. If it is a defensive midfielder, Zhang Yang will definitely choose Morris.

Sneijder played well in both the defensive midfielder and the front midfielder, and his offensive ability is stronger than Morris.

Morris was also a little dazed about being replaced. He was not worried that Zhang Yang would target him. He was an "veteran" of Millwall and Zhang Yang's "veteran". He had a good relationship on weekdays and it was impossible to target him.

In this regard, he still has confidence.

There was nothing he could do about being replaced now. When he was off the field, he and Sneijder clapped hands. Zhang Yang still walked towards Morris, "Take a break, we need a more flexible attack!"

Morris nodded.

In fact, Morris is also a little concerned, mainly because of the position relationship. He didn't worry about position issues at all before. With the rise of Braniff, the situation of Sneijder joining the team is different. He knows that both of them are no worse than himself. Husband's personal performance is quite strong. Sneijder has a similar style to his own, and his skills are more flexible. He is also his biggest competitor.

Both Sneijder and Braniff are young.

In the future, they will definitely be the absolute main force, and as I get older, I will gradually give up my position.

It's kind of sad.

But professional football is like this. Any player must accept the reality. Fortunately, it is still too early for Sneijder to completely replace himself.

The coach's decision to replace himself is only tactical, right?
----

Zhang Yang's role in Sneijder's appearance is actually not 100% sure. He privately used "spirit divination" to study the lineup strategy and found that there is almost no difference in overall strength between Sneijder and Morris. It can only be said that Sneijder is more On offense, Morris focuses on defense.

Maybe Sneijder has the opportunity to surpass Morris in the future, but it will definitely not be the moment when he has just landed in the five major leagues.

The current substitution is also a test opportunity. In theory, Sneijder's appearance will make the overall offensive ability stronger.

Soon Zhang Yang frowned again.

He found the problem.

After Sneijder played, the offense has changed. For example, Sneijder and Pires cooperated very well, and he personally made good passes occasionally, but it didn't help the whole team. "It is difficult to break through Everton's tight defense just by controlling the football.

why?

Zhang Yang was a little confused.

For the next ten minutes, Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines patiently and watched carefully. He seldom stood on the sidelines to watch the game for a long time, and usually sat on the coach's bench.

This shows seriousness.

After the referee's whistle sounded, Zhang Yang regained his composure, and he almost discovered the problem--
Sneijder, Braniff.

When Morris was on the court, the problem was Morris' conservative style; when Sneijder played, the problem became the cooperation with Braniff.

After all, Sneijder is a new player, and he does not cooperate with the old players tacitly. He also has problems with his cooperation habits. For example, he tends to pass with wide players. Braniff is not familiar with Sneijder, and he prefers to cooperate with Simpson. .

Millwall is flexible enough to play on the wing, but the wing is always the wing. If you want to score goals, you still have to find opportunities in the middle and the penalty area.

The two cores are accustomed to finding wide players to cooperate with each other, which will also greatly weaken the advantage of dual-core parallel positions.

----

Intermission.

In the locker room, Zhang Yang directly named Braniff and Sneijder, and talked about their habits on the field--
"Strengthen cooperation between you!"

"Pass the ball to each other more! Don't always stick to the side! If you have the opportunity, pass the ball sideways."

"We need to play the advantage of two central midfielders!"

"This will also give opportunities behind!"

Zhang Yang said that Livermore was behind him. Strengthening the cooperation between Sneijder and Braniff will make the pass in the midfield smoother and attract enough defensive attention. Livermore who is behind him will have a chance.

on the contrary……

When the two stand apart and there is only Livermore in the middle, they will be besieged by the opponent when they go up. It is too difficult to find opportunities.

On the other side, the Everton dressing room.

David Moyes still emphasizes defense. Everton is preparing to play a game steadily. "Stable" does not mean conservative, but changes with the opponent's style. Defense must be paid attention to. At the same time, as long as there is Push forward when there is an opportunity, and entangle the opponent in a way that does not change.

This is what Everton is good at.

Everton's style is very similar to Liverpool's, which may be the reason why they both came out of Liverpool City. Both teams have "stable" defenses.

Don't be afraid of confrontation, and don't be afraid of tough opponents, that is, the whole process is based on "steadiness", the defense is solid, and you can score consecutive goals as long as you find an opportunity.

Millwall didn't play aggressively in the first half, but it put a lot of pressure on Everton's defense. The players on the field felt it, and the head coach Moyes also saw it clearly.

Now that there is time for adjustment, Moyes still continues to emphasize a solid defense.

Everton don't need to chase to win.

The outside media are talking about Everton having a chance to stop Millwall from being unbeaten, but what does that have to do with Everton?
The most important thing at the moment is to get points. Everton ranks lower in the league. It is absolutely acceptable to get a point from Millwall, the league leader, as long as they can defend until the end of the game.

Moyes did not give up the chance to win. Their offense relied on Andy Johnson and Cahill. If they had the opportunity to step forward and kick, they might be able to complete the goal.

Tactics are as simple as that.

Moyes has very rich coaching experience. He knows football games very well. To put it bluntly, luck is sometimes more important than strength. If a player shows it, a kick in the front will determine the outcome.

As for the overall situation and the overall situation, it is not bad to have a discussion with a small ball, but it is meaningless to meet an opponent like Millwall. Given the difference in strength, the situation is mostly controlled by the opponent.
