Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 640 The Unreasonable Simpson

In just half the game, the referee showed six yellow cards, three to Chelsea and three to Millwall. Such frequent cards were useless, and the feeling of the game was only The physical confrontation, the constant confrontation between the two sides, was short of a gang fight with punches.

The game will be played like this, which is unexpected by the media and fans.

Zhang Yang couldn't think of it either.

But not long after the game started, he knew the reason why Chelsea did this. In a normal match between the two teams, Chelsea hadn't won a single game. Maybe Chelsea players wouldn't have much confidence?
Even if they show a lot of fighting spirit, losing to a team in a row will create a huge shadow of pressure.

this is normal.

Chelsea definitely wanted to beat Millwall, so they adopted an abnormal strategy, that is, actively provocative and fouled.

This strategy will quickly enter the fierce confrontation mode of the game, and the scene will appear very passionate. The intense physical struggle of both sides also means that part of the mind is used in other aspects, but Chelsea's confrontation ability can only be stronger than Millwall. , will not be weaker than Millwall, this kind of competition is beneficial to them.

"Grant really shouldn't be underestimated."

Zhang Yang couldn't help but give Israel a thumbs up. It is quite remarkable to think of this strategy to make up for Chelsea's tactics and mentality gap.

If Millwall continues to fall into the vicious circle of "vindictiveness" with Chelsea, it is really possible to lose to Chelsea and lose the League Cup.

Zhang Yang will of course remind the players to pay attention.

"This is not a derby." In the locker room during the intermission, Zhang Yang first emphasized this point, "We don't need to compete with them, even if they take the initiative to provoke, we can't do that."

"They did it on purpose, constantly colliding with each other, constantly fighting, deliberately provoking disputes. We must see this clearly, because they have no chance in a normal fight."

"Of course I'm not asking you to admit defeat, but to be tougher. But no matter what, it's important to stay rational. Don't be impulsive, it won't help you win the game at all."

Zhang Yang will not restrict players to fight with each other physically.

Now both sides are angry.

The game has entered a hand-to-hand combat mode. If it is not a derby, it will become a derby. If a player shows a weak attitude in physical confrontation, the opponent will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. The confrontation is not one-sided. Choosing to retreat is tantamount to failure. The loser's fighting spirit , Performance will be affected, the winning side will play more proactively.

This is not enough to have technology and cooperation.

Zhang Yang just emphasizes controlling emotions and not being swayed by emotions, causing irreversible results. For example, if a player gets a red card for a foul, the team will have one less player to fight, and the team will fall into a disadvantage.

The second half of the game still maintained a high-intensity confrontation mode.

In 9 minutes, Ballack knocked Livermore to the ground ten meters before the restricted area.

The referee showed Ballack a yellow card.

Zhang Yang immediately found the fourth official and complained, "They just want to shovel my player! This is a very bad foul."

The fourth official was also very helpless.

Ballack's foul was obviously tactical. Livermore could shoot directly at that position, but the referee can't send Ballack off, right?
This kind of foul is very normal.

Chelsea is obviously using foul tactics. At this point in the game, it depends entirely on which team plays tougher and can persist until the end.

This is the understanding of the fourth official. The only thing he can do is to listen to the complaint seriously, and then reply, "I will record it."

Gone.

Zhang Yang didn't see it that way. He complained to the fourth official, but it was just to test the referee team so that their penalty would not be biased towards Chelsea.

This is very important.

As Millwall continues to win, it's almost a matter of anger and resentment. Not only the media, but even the FA don't want to see it. Millwall continues to win, no, it should be said to continue undefeated, just like It was Manchester United who once dominated the Premier League. Every team that beat Manchester United was regarded as a template for heroes. Manchester United was the villain boss in the public mind.

This is the case with Millwall now, and the referee's penalty may also be biased towards Chelsea.

If it's a normal game, it's not a big deal. The strength gap between the two sides is too big, and no matter how biased the referee's penalty is, it will hardly affect the final result.

This game is different.

At this point in the game, if the referee group is only a little biased, it may affect the final result.

Zhang Yang still decided to take the outcome into his own hands. When Simpson stood in front of the ball and was about to make a free throw, he was also about to make a shot.

The position where Ballack fouled was nearly 30 meters away from the goal.

For Livermore, 30 meters is not an absolute distance, and a direct shot can create a threat.

The Simpsons are different.

Simpson doesn't have that much strength. A free kick 30 meters in front of the goal can almost only seek cooperation with his teammates. He thought so at first, but suddenly he felt full of state.

He can see the goal clearly.

He felt that he could control the ball and hit it anywhere on the goal frame just by swinging his foot.

It's such a good feeling.

Simpson was immediately very excited. The ball that he wanted to cooperate with his teammates immediately changed his mind and turned into a direct wave of his feet——
shoot!

The football flew high and directly rushed over the barrier of people.

"Taller!"

"He actually wants to shoot directly!"

"The distance is still too far."

With regretful sighs from the narrator, after the football reached the highest point, it suddenly fell and rushed towards the goal. Everyone was stunned by the strange route.

Cech stood in front of the door.

The moment Simpson kicked off the ball, he thought it would be a pass. He didn't care when he saw the football soaring into the sky, but he didn't expect the football to suddenly fall.

Fallen ball?
Petr Cech was startled, and it was too late to react. He rushed towards the upper left corner of the goal, but the ball fell very fast. When he reached the position, the ball had already fallen into the upper left corner first.

When Cech lay sideways on the ground, the cheers in his ears immediately made him fall into an abyss.

"Goooooooooal!!!"

"Simpson!"

"He kicked a classic deciduous ball and scored the first goal of the game!"

"1-0."

"It was Millwall who scored first in a tough game, and Simpson—"

At the new Wembley Stadium, Millwall fans cheered excitedly in the surrounding stands. They finally saw a goal. Chelsea fans were very depressed. The team worked hard for a long time, but finally the opponent scored first, which made them feel a little desperate--
"Will you lose again?"

"We never won!"

"It's like that every time, no matter how the game goes, it's Chelsea who lose in the end."

"Millwall is too strong!"

Chelsea coach Grant also has the same experience. Millwall is really too strong, so strong that it makes opponents desperate.

So far in this game, Chelsea have no disadvantages at all. In terms of physical confrontation, Chelsea's midfielder is stronger and has some advantages.

But in the end it was Millwall who scored the first goal. It is hard to say that there is any danger in the 30-meter set kick.

How to play this?
"Josh Simpson." Grant thought of the name and couldn't help but shake his head. Millwall's most threatening team is forward Vardy, midfielder Livermore, and midfielder Braniff, Sneijder, Simpson is a wide player, even if he scores a lot of goals, he rarely poses a direct threat.

Everyone knows that Simpson has the ability to take a direct free kick, and Chelsea also try to avoid fouling in dangerous positions, but is 30 meters in front of the goal still called a dangerous position?

This is simply unreasonable!
What Grant didn't know was that it wasn't Simpson who was unreasonable. No matter how good Simpson's footwork was, it would be difficult to score such a classic goal.

What is unreasonable is publicity.

It is really unreasonable to be able to say what you say, and you can achieve it when you say it. To a certain extent, players can have a state beyond their level in an instant, and it is naturally easy to score goals.

Zhang Yang applauded Simpson's goal. He acted calmly, as if he thought the goal was no big deal and everything was under control.

When this kind of performance and practice was put on the TV screen, Chelsea fans felt, "It is basically hopeless to win."

"The difference between Grant and Zhang Yang is too great!"

Some media even asserted, "The outcome has been decided!" Even if they wanted Chelsea to win, Zhang Yang's calm performance showed that he had sufficient confidence in winning. Do you still expect the Israelis to lead the team to create miracles?

In the end, until the end of the game, neither side scored again.

Even though Chelsea were still fighting fiercely, they were still full of fighting spirit and tried hard to persist until the last minute, but they failed to break through the Millwall gate.

1:0.

Millwall relied on Simpson's direct free kick to win the League Cup.

----

The English League Cup is not a very important championship, not as good as the FA Cup, and its influence is relatively small, but it is a cup championship after all, and it is worth celebrating.

On that day, Zhang Yang let the players celebrate wantonly, and then gave everyone a half-day holiday the next day, and regrouped for training in the afternoon.

They are going to prepare for the Champions League.

Three days after the League Cup final, it was the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of [-]. Millwall went to Spain to challenge the home team Sevilla away.

Sevilla is one of the strong teams in Spain.

In the past two seasons, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the only strong teams in Spain are Sevilla and Valencia, and they even have the qualifications to compete for the La Liga championship.

Sevilla is a traditional Spanish team. Offensive football is their style. Sevilla has always adhered to the style of offensive football. Some people think that their offense is more technical than Barcelona.

But they encountered 'natural enemies'.

millwall.

Millwall's 352 style of play can't be said to overcome offensive football, but Millwall's player ability is stronger than Sevilla's, their tactical coordination is better than Sevilla's, and their tough style far exceeds Sevilla's .

Compared with Sevilla and Millwall, it is difficult to say what advantages they have.

Perhaps the Sevilla fans disagree, they still expect Sevilla to perform miracles, but in the end the score of 2 to 5 helped them recognize the gap between the two teams.

Before the host and after the guest.

Millwall scored five goals away, and scored three more goals than Sevilla. In just one round away, they almost won the quarter-finals.
