The news that Mourinho is leaving Chelsea did not affect Mirwall's game against Chelsea.

The two sides still fight normally.

When Millwall's bus entered Neal Stadium, some media in the mixed area hoped to interview Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang didn't want to be interviewed, but when he heard the reporters telling Mourinho, he walked over and stressed, "I can only ask questions now. In a press conference, I will not answer topics that are not related to the game."

The reporter immediately cherished the opportunity to ask questions.

The reporter's question was nothing more than asking Zhang Yang to express his views on Mourinho's "situation".

This question was answered by many other head coaches, and many Premier League coaches supported Mourinho.

It is said that Manchester United coach Ferguson, who had a personal relationship with Mourinho, said of Mourinho's departure, "That would disappoint me very much. I like having him by my side. We were drinking coffee together and it can be seen that he is an excellent person. I enjoyed competing with him, and I don't know what happened now."

Ferguson also mentioned Zhang Yang in particular, "If you have a choice, I hope Millwall's head coach will encounter problems. He will become more active if there is less English football."

Arsenal head coach Wenger also said that he felt Mourinho would stay, "I can't talk about Chelsea. Because I don't know what's going on there. But I think he will stay."

Wenger also said that the coach can only play a role in ‘with the support of the club’. “A coach should have his job authority. I’m lucky to be here to coach. I’ve been able to work here for ten years, thanks to the club’s environment, from the beginning you’ve got all the freedom to work the way you want. Chelsea’s structure may be different, but I’m not good at commenting because I don’t know who has the final say there.”

Fulham coach Coleman said that Chelsea executives asked Mourinho to leave must be mentally abnormal. "Chelsea has encountered some difficulties, but this is the first time in more than two years, and I can't imagine they would make such a stupid decision."

Newcastle's head coach Rodel said, "I hope Mourinho will not leave. He is an excellent coach. If he leaves, it will be a huge loss to the Premier League."

Among the many supporters, the voice of Chelsea players is indispensable. Drogba, who is trusted by Mourinho, said, "Murinho has built a Chelsea culture. We all like his coaching style. He brings confidence to the team. Losing him will be extremely painful and is a sad distinction for the players because it means losing a friend. I don't know what will happen, but if it happens, it will be sad. There are rumors everywhere now, but I hope he will stay."

When a lot of support sounded, Zhang Yang, as the head coach of Millwall, must say something. He took the initiative to accept the interview and first responded to Ferguson's words, "It's me who he (Ferguson) wants to leave? Sorry, I won't leave because we can always beat Manchester United, clubs and fans, and are all satisfied with this."

"But I was very disappointed with his idea, which reminded me of the competition in the elementary school class. The second place in the class does not take the initiative to study hard, but hopes that the first place will transfer to school and leave. That is not a positive way of thinking..." The meaning of the words is that Ferguson is childish like a primary school student, and a primary school student with negative emotions in his mind.

Many reporters couldn't help laughing when they heard Zhang Yang's words, including the Manchester Sports reporter, who supported Manchester United and Ferguson, but when they remembered this metaphor, they still found it very interesting.

"Zhang Yang's mouth... is indeed very sharp!" Many reporters sighed.

Zhang Yang continued to talk about Mourinho, "If he really will leave, I feel very sorry. He is an admirable opponent. I will also miss the contest between us."

"But this is not a farewell. European football is so big. Whether he goes to Italy, Spain, or somewhere else, we will definitely have a chance to meet it, or be in the Champions League, or any other event. After all, we are still young. I believe he can coach for twenty years. Unlike some coaches, he is so old that he has to consider retirement..."

Zhang Yang finally satirized Ferguson and left the reporters' vision.

When the press conference arrived, Zhang Yang stopped talking about Mourinho, but talked about the game specifically, talked about the preparations before the game, talked about the schedule that Millwall faced, etc. In short, all the topics related to the game and the team were all about.

The competition officially began after that.

Not long after the game started, it was obvious that both sides played very steadily and were not disturbed by external news. Because of this, the game was very dull from the beginning.

Chelsea attaches great importance to defense.

For Chelsea, Millwall is a strong opponent. They have never defeated Millwall in the past two seasons and have lost most of the games. It is not easy to defeat Millwall.

Millwall also attaches great importance to defense and is not in a hurry to launch an offensive at home.

The commentator of "Sky Sports" analyzed the reasons and believed that both sides need to prepare for the next Champions League event and reserved their performance. In addition, it is also important, "The game is not important to both sides."

Chelsea ranks third in the league. They have five points gaps with Manchester United. It is not easy to catch up. Even if they catch up with Manchester United, Millwall, who has higher points ahead, is not a joke. They have almost no chance.

There is no need for Chelsea to fight Millwall in a head-on battle. From the perspective of league points, it is no big deal to win.

Millwall is the top of the league. They have six more points than Manchester United, and their advantage is still very big. Faced with the pressure of the Champions League, they don’t need to fight against Chelsea.

Both sides play conservatively, so the game is very dull.

The fight is not fierce, the offense is not active, and the pace is a bit slow, so the game scene makes people feel a little drowsy.

The media on the scene regretted coming to the interview. They wanted to see a fierce scene. As a result, the two teams played such a "peaceful" game, and the fans in the stands cheered much less.

Some criticisms are coming.

Some media said that Chelsea did not take the initiative, "In the past two seasons, they have not defeated Mirwall, but Mourinho allowed Chelsea to play such a game, and they seem to have no desire to win."

Some media said that Millwall should be more active, "Milwall's lineup has several positions that are substitutes, obviously they do not pay attention to the game. They should be more active because this is Neal Stadium."

These criticisms will certainly not affect the competition.

Mourinho and Zhang Yang are both very rational. They know that the next Champions League is more important. There is no benefit for the two teams to fight to the death. They will fight normally. As long as it does not affect the Champions League game, any result can be accepted.

However, football matches will definitely not be "peaceful". The competitive relationship between Chelsea and Millwall is very fierce. Players on both sides will still work hard under the existing tactical framework during the game.

When thirty minutes passed, the game finally became more intense, the offense threatened, and the pace of offense and defense conversion became faster.

This made the fans and the audience feel a little more energetic.

There was no goal in the end of the first half. Neither side made any adjustments during the break, and the second half continued the situation in the first half.

Judging from the game data, Millwall's possession rate is 52%, with five shots, Chelsea's possession rate is 48%, and seven shots.

Neither team scored a goal.

Both sides fought for a 50-50 match.

The second half took twenty minutes and the goal that had been waiting for a long time appeared. Chelsea took the lead to breaking the deadlock. Drogba received a corner kick from Robben on the side and headed the ball to break through the goal of Graham's handle.

1 to 0!

The goal excited Chelsea supporters.

The reporters in the media table were also very excited, not only because of the goal, but also because Chelsea scored.

Chelsea has never beaten Millwall in the past two seasons. The game has been going on for nearly 70 minutes. Chelsea is leading Millwall very well. As long as it can continue until the end of the game, Chelsea can break the embarrassment of "not being able to beat Millwall for a long time".

But Chelsea's excitement lasted only three minutes.

Three minutes later, Mirwall used a fast break, and Branif and Valdy made a wonderful cooperation again. Branif passed by with a diagonal pass, passing by Carvalho, followed by Valdy on the other side, and shot from a far corner to allow the football to break through Cech's ten fingers.

1 to 1!

The media was stunned when they were excited just now.

"Milwall quickly tied the score. They only took three minutes. Braniff and Valdy cooperated very well..."

"Let's look at the slow motion... Braniff drew the ball with his head and almost didn't look to the left, but his pass accurately found Valdy. Perhaps the two of them practiced countless times off the court, and this kind of coordination was as accurate as pre-rehearsed!"

"Vardy's shooting angle is very tricky, so Cech has no choice..."

Amid the shouts of the commentator of "Sky Sports", Chelsea fans felt very helpless. They were tied after only three minutes.

Next, Chelsea and Millwall attacked and defended each other, but until the last minute, both sides still failed to complete the goal.

In the end, the two teams shook hands 1-1.

After the game, Zhang Yang shook hands with Mourinho.

This is the first time that the two have formally fought each other and have a normal form of etiquette handshake.

Under the camera, the two shook hands for more than ten seconds and had a brief conversation. From the picture, they both had smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be having a good conversation.

But in fact, the words of the two are not friendly.

“It’s a pity that 1 to 1.”

"Indeed, I thought I could win. Of course, the result is not important, we will definitely win the championship."

"You don't have the humility of Chinese people."

"Thank you for your compliment. By the way, I heard you are going to leave? What a pity, I tied the last time."

"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe we can still encounter the Champions League. At that time, it's hard to say who wins and loses."

"I really hope to meet you, that means there will be no pressure."

"You are too arrogant!"

"Thank you again for your praise. By the way, I wish you a good journey..." Zhang Yang and Mourinho ended the conversation with gunpowder.

In fact, Zhang Yang thinks Mourinho is a respectable opponent. No matter how many shortcomings he has, it has to be admitted that his leadership level is definitely the best in the world. Because of this, Zhang Yang will not use words to "comfort", which is no different from ridiculing his opponent.

Mourinho is not someone who needs sympathy.

Even if Mourinho leaves Chelsea, both of them will always be opponents in the next few years and for more than ten years. From this perspective, Mourinho leaves Chelsea, it is no big deal, it is just a change of job.

On the way to leave Neal Stadium, Zhang Yang suddenly thought that he had so many sighs. Perhaps he was quite concerned about Mourinho's departure. Of course, Mourinho has nothing to do with him, but as the head coach of the Premier League, there are still many similarities.

One day in the future, maybe I will face a similar situation?

But it's no big deal.

If you leave Millwall one day, it doesn’t have to be like the sky is falling. He is not a major shareholder of Millwall or any other big shot, and he is just a head coach who gets a salary.
Chapter completed!
