Chapter 233 Darren Bent's Power
When Zhang Yang frowned when he saw Morris holding his knees and lying on the grass in pain, he immediately frowned. He made another sure thing: "prediction" is not omnipotent.
The effect of ‘predictive’ is to know the situation of the game in the next five minutes, but the picture in my mind is just about the football, and there is no pause in the middle.
If a player fouls, the referee will suspend the game, and even a situation like Morris - he is injured.
If you are injured, you need to replace someone.
Zhang Yang is Millwall's head coach, and the choice of substitution is in his hands, so the "prediction" loses its effect, because it will definitely be manipulated in the future. At the same time, the location where Morris was injured is still some distance away from football, and he cannot know that Morris will be injured.
This is the limitation of the ability to ‘predict.’
Zhang Yang felt helpless, and the situation he was most worried about happened.
Millwall's main lineup is pretty good. Even if it cannot be compared with giant teams, it can still reach the mid-level level of the Premier League. However, the team's bench depth is definitely only the level of a promoted team, and it is even worse than ordinary promoted teams. After all, Millwall was just a mid-level team in the Championship last season.
For Millwall, the biggest enemy is injury.
It doesn't matter much if you encounter any difficult opponents in the league, but injuries are different. If several main players are injured and use a few substitutes to replace them, the team's strength can easily fall from seven to six stars.
Six-star rating, you can't get it in the Premier League!
Zhang Yang understands the gap between the main and the substitute. Even the team's lineup is based on the main lineup, and the substitute's strength will be greatly restricted.
That's why he is eager to find a capable physical coach.
That is an important guarantee!
But worrying alone was useless. Zhang Yang glanced at the bench and was about to replace him.
Morris is too important to the team.
Morris is the core of the midfield, the offensive engine of the whole team, and the spiritual leader on the court. After he got out, he could only rely on Smitchell to organize the offense, but the team must ensure defense, so it is difficult to achieve the effect of frontal advancement. In terms of data, the overall offensive ability was cut by one-third.
Judging from the current game situation, Millwall's focus will be entirely on defense.
Zhang Yang chose Rudy Clark.
Rudy Clark is a 34-year-old veteran who signed him during the summer transfer to prevent accidents.
As a calm midfielder, Clark has rich experience and good defensive ability. With him to replace Morris, at least there will be no major problems in defense, and he can only rely on occasional counterattacks in offense.
This is a helpless move.
If it was before the game started, Zhang Yang could use Smitchell to make adjustments, so that Smitchell could completely replace Morris, and the team would not be affected too much. Now that the temporary adjustment is made, the formation will definitely not change, so we can only choose Clark.
Morris was already off the court by a stretcher. Team doctor Davis was diagnosed with being unable to continue playing. Zhang Yang hurried over to inquire about the situation.
Davis did a careful examination, asked Morris about his pain, and said seriously, "He hit his knee, so the problem should not be big, but it still needs a definite diagnosis."
Next, Morris was carried into the medical room for further leg examinations. The situation was serious and he needed to go to a regular hospital.

Everyone knows the importance of Morris to Millwall.
After Morris got off the court, Sky Sports commentator Keane Cendel analyzed, "Morris was injured, which was a major blow to Millwall. Morris is Millwall's midfield core. Millwall had been suppressed very well before, so Millwall had a goal advantage in hand, but whether the advantage could be continued until the end of the game depends on the subsequent defensive performance."
Arsenal also knows the importance of Morris to Millwall.
The Arsenal offensive became even more intense next. The football game did not show mercy because the opponent's player was injured. Both sides would do their best to win the game.
The impact of Morris' fate is undoubtedly.
After the game started over, it was difficult for Millwall to make a decent push. Even if the first few players ran desperately and lost the pillar point of Morris, it would be difficult to play a lot of role.
Millwall defends most of the game.
Their defense is pretty good. When facing Arsenal's threatening offensives again and again, the performance of several backcourt players was also eye-catching, and the most eye-catching one was Darren Ward.
Darren Ward has always been Millwall's defensive pillar. He has been the main defender for nearly five seasons. Fans who know Millwall will know his name.
Millwall's score has never been higher and lower, and Darren Ward has not played much in fame.
He is almost 28 years old.
Many people think that Darren Ward is only at this level, and it is difficult to perform well. Millwall has risen to the Premier League and has added several defenders in a row. Darren Ward's main position has also been challenged, but unexpectedly, after several rounds of league games, Darren Ward's performance has been very steady.
The same is true now.
Faced with Arsenal's stormy attack, Darren Ward's defense was very calm. Perhaps his partner Wes Morgan was more eye-catching, and he also had two direct steals against frontcourt players, but Darren Ward was more calm and had no record of being directly broken so far. Even if he faced Henry, he had caused enough trouble.
In addition, Marvin Elliott performed well.
Elliott and Morris were the midfielder together. Morris did most of the work while defending. When Morris got out of the field, many people also noticed Elliott. Compared with other players, Elliott ran more, and he almost built a stable defense line in the front of the penalty area with his own strength.
Elliott is also very strong, and few people can compete with him. In addition, his very tough defensive style has caused quite a lot of trouble to Arsenal's offense.
But no matter how outstanding Millwall's defense is, it cannot cover up Arsenal's strength!
The game between the two sides revolves around Millwall's halftime, whether it's offense or defense, football appears in Millwall's halftime most of the time. Arsenal's two defenders always appear in the frontcourt, which shows how obvious Arsenal's suppression advantage is.
Millwall fans were worried that the goal would be broken at the scene.
Zhang Yang also stood on the sidelines.
There is a "predictive" to make accurate judgments on the game, but seeing the team's defense line is so crisis, Zhang Yang is still afraid of some loopholes.
“Um…”
Many fans shouted, from the perspective of the audience, they could clearly see the speed gap between the two. Stadium commentator Mike Johnson shouted excitedly, "Bent's speed is too fast! Campbell can't catch up at all!"
Lehman has already attacked!
Lehmann originally wanted to double-team with Campbell, but Campbell was pulled behind him and he could only face Darren Bent's single shot.
Lehman has extensive experience.
When he was about two meters away from Darren Bent, he spread his arms and rushed forward.
At the same time, Darren Bent also completed the shot!
Football and Lehman's bodies intertwined in an instant, and the next moment everyone saw that Football was lowered from Lehman's arm and rushed over.
No one can stop it anymore!
The football rushed into the net without any obstacles!
