Millwall coach seat.

Seeing that the ball did not score, Zhang Yang sighed with regret, "It's just a little bit!"

"I didn't expect Darren to shoot. In that position, I mean, there are people on both sides..." Wise held a different view.

Zhang Yang nodded and affirmed Wise's words. Darren Bent is of course very outstanding. The "potential recognition" can show the player's talent. Darren Bent has very direct talent - shooting ability.

In other aspects, Darren Bent is not too top-notch. His speed is not as good as Vardy, and his explosive power is similar to Vardy. However, considering that Vardy is too young, Bent has no advantages. In terms of technical ability and physical fitness, Bent is also very average. He is not the kind of player with super skills or a very strong player.

Under such conditions, Darren Bent can become the best striker, relying on his unique goal-

Shoot!

The shot is not just aimed at the goal. Darren Bent's body is very flexible, as if it has a natural sense. It is possible to complete the shot in any position in every position without having to adjust the posture like other players.

Of course, this ability has not reached the level of demonization.

Other players can also complete shots in similar moves, but they are not as good as Darren Bent.

For example, in the situation just now, Darren Bent had Vidic in front and Ferdinand on the left. He made a move to break to the right, and his body's center of gravity was slightly tilted to the right, but he could still shoot in the reverse shot, which would be quite amazing.

Other players can also make the same shots, but the threat is definitely not as threatening as Darren Bentegao. In an emergency, it is hard to say whether they can complete the shot.

This is Darren Bent's talent and why he can score so many goals.

Of course, there is a more important reason - the tactic of freedom.

Millwall's tactics are formulated based on the player's ability. In the team's tactical system, each player can have more freedom to play and be able to show what he is good at. If it is in other teams, Darren Bent will find it difficult to perform the same way, but in Millwall, he can show the level of a world's top striker.

But Zhang Yang still felt regretful, because in the "predictive" vision, he judged in advance that the football flew out of the boundary more than one meter away from the goal. So when Darren Bente shot, he used the "lucky blessing" to add some luck to Darren Bente, but obviously only a 15-fold lucky time, it was difficult to let the football deviate from the one-meter track and fly into the goal.

This is a regret.

Sticking to the pillar... it was actually pretty good, but except for scaring Manchester United into a cold sweat, the result was not changed.

Manchester United's ideas are completely different from Zhang Yang.

They are really scared!

No one expected that Darren Bent would suddenly shoot, and they were not prepared at all, so the football almost flew into the goal.

Darren Bent failed to score, but what if he scored? The game lasted less than twenty minutes. If Millwall scored a goal, Manchester United's situation would be in danger.

In the next game, Manchester United's defense against Darren Bent became more cautious.

———

Darren Bent encountered a difficult defense, and it became even more difficult for him to find another opportunity.

There is one person in Millwall who is more difficult to defend than Darren Bent. He has been taken care of since the beginning of the game and has even fewer touches.

That's Braniff!

Manchester United hated Branif very much. Before the game, Branif opened his mouth and scolded Manchester United from the head coach to the player. They couldn't let go and made up their minds to let Branif know that he was amazing.

So Braniff was in dismay.

Although Braniff has been running hard with a spirit of never giving up, his strength is limited after all. Manchester United deployed a "luxury package" from the front line to the defender, focusing on targeting him.

This is not a tactical requirement, but a spontaneous player.

For example, when football crossed the center line, Carrick, who was considered an "unknown player" by Braniff, went to get close to Braniff and almost kept pace with Braniff.

Facing the entanglement of a top midfielder, anyone will have a headache.

This is the tip of the iceberg.

Central defender Ferdinand always focuses on "care for" Braniff. While completing his defensive mission, he keeps looking at Braniff. As long as Braniff has a chance to get the ball, he immediately directs his teammates, or runs over to block the ball by himself.

Braniff's position is on the left side of the midfield, so he also received the "care" from Manchester United right forward C-Ronaldo.

When Manchester United defends, C-Ronaldo also has to participate in the defense. Portuguese stars always frequently make up for defense and are often stuck between football and Braniff.

It is easy to imagine how dismal Braniff is.

From the first minute of the game to the 25th minute of the day, Braniff only touched the ball in the frontcourt four times, which was the same as Darren Bent. However, considering that Braniff is a midfielder, the data is really pitiful.

If the entire game was continued, Blaniff could only touch the ball more than a dozen times, which was almost equivalent to becoming a glass man.

Paul Scott, the commentator of "Sky Sports", occasionally saw Branif's figure and remembered to say the previous sentence, "Branif seems to be a little out of shape? But perhaps Manchester United's defense is too strict, and we can't see clearly in details, but he seems to have no arrogance before the game..."

Braniff...is unjust!

Braniff didn't feel arrogant at all, but instead felt that he had suffered a big loss. He was so angry before the game. When he arrived, he obviously didn't bring the captain's armband, why did the opponent defend against him?

He couldn't figure it out.

In the absence of a wave of offensives, he asked C-Ronaldo with a 'above', "Portuguese boy, why do you always come to defend me? We are not in the match?"

C-Ronaldo glanced at Braniff and heard the name of the "boy", he felt that there was nothing to say to the other party, and glanced and snorted coldly and ran away.

"asshole!"

Braniff felt that he had been greatly insulted.

When Mirwall's next attack, Braniff was still under special care, and C-Ronaldo still came to assist in defense, and felt that it was more targeted. Sometimes he even gave up on the marking of Piret, especially to block football and Braniff.

Braniff is so depressed!

Although Braniff's brains are abnormal and his external tone is very good, in fact, he does not lack football wisdom, otherwise he would not have become a star. He knew that he would be difficult to face the defense of several people by himself. If he continues like this, there is no room for playing at all. But there is no way for the time being. He suddenly thought, "I have attracted so many defenses, and other teammates should be playing very smoothly, right?"

This is also a contribution!

As Branif thought, among the players on the field, except Branif and Darren Bent, all the players played well and did not encounter too strict defense.

Millwall's offensive was also quite sharp, and it was proof that he had not had much disadvantage in the last thirty minutes of the match with Manchester United.

With Millwall's strength, it is already quite amazing to be able to play like this with Manchester United. Considering that the venue is at Old Trafford, Millwall's performance is amazing.

The reporters in the media table were very surprised. They were all sighing when talking about the competition.

"I didn't expect that Millwall's strength was so strong that he could fight Manchester United head-on without losing his advantage!"

"According to the performance of the two teams now, if it were Neal Stadium, Manchester United would definitely not be able to play Millwall."

"Milwall's cooperation is stronger than Manchester United."

"Several players in the frontcourt performed well, except for Braniff... this guy with a big mouth can't do it in the game."

“…”

While media reporters were discussing, Millwall launched another attack.

Quaresma dribbled the ball and broke through Park Ji-sung, glanced at him and kicked him in the middle to Braniff.

This time Braniff received the pass, but his situation was not good. Carrick followed him, and a Scholes rushed over from behind. Braniff didn't even think about it and immediately kicked the ball back.

Quaresma welcomes the ball and then handes it to Simpson.

Simpson took the ball back and passed it to Livermore, who followed and kicked Piret. The transfer of football from right to left was still very successful, and Manchester United had to change the defensive direction.

Pire took advantage of C-Ronaldo's time to catch up and immediately quickly led forward. Before the opponent's full-back Heinze came up, he kicked the ball into the penalty area.

Passing!

Manchester United suddenly became a little panicked in the penalty area.

Ferdinand went to the penalty area to assist in defense, but he didn't have time to come back. Darren Bent only had one Vidic around him. Vidic had a good defense against the high-altitude ball, but Darren Bent had a better position. He took the lead and started at the right time.

"Headed the ball-!!"

"Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott shouted, but the next moment he found that Darren Bent did not shoot, but threw the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

“That’s…”

Paul Scott's voice was hesitant, and with the camera lens, he immediately discovered the player who was following-

Josh Simpson!

"Shot! This time it must be a shot!" Paul Scott shouted nervously.

The whole court became nervous.

Simpson followed, no one around to defend.

Faced with such a good opportunity, Simpson did not hesitate at all and immediately waved his right foot after running to the position.

"Bang!"

With the muffled sound of the collision between the feet and the football, the football instantly rushed to the far corner of the goal.

Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar saved hard. He opened his arms and stretched his body as far as possible, but he still couldn't save the ball.

Football plunged into the side net!

———

"Goooooooooooooooooooal!!! The goal was scored! Josh Simpson! Josh Simpson! Millwall scored first. This was the 31st minute of the game. Simpson scored the first goal in the game!"

Millwall fans celebrated wildly amid the commentator's shouts.

The voices of the home team Manchester United fans were a little low, and they really didn't want to see Millwall finish the lead at Old Trafford.

What few people noticed was that after Simpson finished the goal, Manchester United coach Ferguson suddenly stood up, shouting in his mouth, and his face suddenly realized, "So that's it! Braniff...Simpson inserted..."

Ferguson said as he gritted his teeth, his face becoming bad because he suddenly realized that Manchester United had fallen into the opponent's trick!
Chapter completed!
