Millwall was full of excitement. Even though he was prepared before the game, many people cried out when he successfully set the record.

Those were tears of excitement!

Players, assistant coaches, staff, Wilkinson who came with the team, everyone had a smile on their faces, and many people hugged each other when they met.

Zhang Yang's performance was quite dull.

Just like at a press conference, he talked about the game very seriously and talked about Aston Villa's performance. He did not show any excitement about setting an unbeaten record.

One reason is that I have been prepared for a long time.

Second, more importantly, Zhang Yang found that the task he received before the season was not completed, and the task requirement was to create a new unbeaten record, but he was unbeaten for fifty rounds and could not complete the task.

That shows the task requirements, which targets the unbeaten records of the five major leagues.

The five major European leagues refer to Serie A, Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1. Among them, Serie A's unbeaten record is the most exaggerated. In the 34th round of the 1990-1991 season, until the 23rd round of the 1992-1993 season, AC Milan remained unbeaten, creating 58 unbeaten games.

If Millwall wants to break this record, he must be unbeaten in the next nine league rounds.

This is very difficult.

The whole team had a fighting spirit before, and everyone wanted to break Arsenal's record. The whole team was united and worked hard to deal with one game after another. Now it was different. Zhang Yang had no reason and said to the whole team: "We want to break AC Milan's unbeaten record."

Is that meaningful?

Premier League teams do not have the habit of comparing with Serie A teams, and most of the same leagues are only compared with the same leagues.

This is because of the league level gap.

For example, national leagues such as Greece, Belgium, and Czech Republic are much worse in their level. The dominant teams often appear in the league. The representative one is the Romanian giant Bucharest star. They once won the miracle of 104 unbeaten games in the league in three years from August 17, 1986 to September 9, 1989. Such a record is simply impossible to be broken.

Therefore, it is difficult to compare the league and the league. Even if it is the Premier League and Serie A, which have competed for the first league in recent years, it is meaningless to compare.

The media and fans do not support this.

When a team in a league is unbeaten continuously, to some extent, it also means that the competition in the league is not fierce and the level will decline.

Of course, not absolute.

No matter what, Zhang Yang cannot set a goal for the team to "break the unbeaten record of AC Milan". In the next nine league games, the team can only work hard to strive for it without fail, and the difficulty will definitely increase a lot.

After the game, Zhang Yang focused on studying the schedule, carefully considered the game plan, and wanted to clarify which games needed special attention.

If you want to create an undefeated record, you cannot make any mistakes.

Zhang Yang's personal "unhappiness" did not affect the entire Millwall team, nor did he affect the media's views.

On the day of the game, major media were talking about Millwall's unbeaten 50 rounds, and almost all reports were positive comments.

"New records are also records that are difficult to surpass."

Manchester Sports said, "Now the only one who can break the new unbeaten record is Mirwall himself. I don't know when their unbeaten will continue. What is certain is that every unbeaten game they will rewrite the record!"

Media in other countries also reported it, but the reviews are different.

For example, the Italian media don’t like to say good things about English football.

Since the 'Tel Gate' incident in 2006, Serie A has shown a downward trend. In the past two seasons, among the teams participating in the Champions League, there are Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, and Lazio this season. Without Juventus, Italy seems to be missing an important part, because Roma and Lazio cannot count on it. They participate in the Champions League, which is almost "focused on participation". It is difficult to squeeze into the top few places. It is not easy to qualify in the group, let alone compete for the championship.

Inter Milan is not OK either.

In recent years, Inter Milan has shown a clear trend of rising, but their results have never been good in the European arena.

So there is only one AC Milan left.

The European arena is relying on AC Milan, and the difficulty is too high. Any team has a time to perform poorly. AC Milan has also passed its peak state and is at a critical point of alternating between old and new. In order to increase their forward ability, they even introduced the "Alien" Ronaldo and wanted to loan David Beckham. This shows how serious it is to avoid AC Milan's youth and yellow connections.

Italian media reflect on their own weaknesses, and also commented on Mirwall's unbeaten record. "Mirwall has set a new record, but it also shows that the Premier League has lost its competitiveness in recent years."

"Milwall has won consecutive league championships and has been at the top of the league so far this season, and no team can compete with them."

"Mar United can't do it, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool can't do it."

"This is the current situation in the Premier League."

"With the loss of active internal competition, a strong team that suddenly rose up, creating even the surprising unbeaten record, is not incomprehensible..."

The Italian media's analytical voices are all sour.

Media in other countries don't think much.

Whether the Premier League is competitive or not, you can tell if you look at the results of the Champions League.

In 2005, the Champions League belonged to Liverpool.

In 2006, the Champions League belonged to Arsenal.

In 2007, last season, the Champions League final started between Millwall and Chelsea, and Millwall won the championship.

Premier League teams have won the Champions League championship in a row, which directly shows competitiveness.

From a rational perspective, the Premier League model is the most successful commercialization, which has nothing to do with politics, and directly represents freedom and competition. It is precisely because of this that it attracts so much foreign capital.

In addition to the political system, the Premier League has absolute rights to build a league mechanism and operate. In terms of policies related to profits such as TV broadcasting rights, the Premier League system is the most commercial and perfect, which also results in the income of Premier League teams far higher than that of other league teams.

This is the basis of league competitiveness, as it can provide development funds for the underlying teams.

For example, Manchester United clubs with the highest income each year have a hard time comparing with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​which have signed broadcast agreements separately, but some teams at the bottom, including West Ham United, Portsmouth, and Fulham, their income is even greater than that of Valencia, Sevilla and other Spanish "quasi-giant clubs".

The high-yield and open policy has attracted a large amount of foreign capital to enter. For example, Birmingham, which has frequent promotion and downgrade, has attracted Hong Kong funds to enter. With foreign capital to enter, the strength of each team can be improved.

This is a virtuous cycle.

As a result, the internal competition in the Premier League is very fierce. It is common for some teams to invest tens of millions of euros in a single season, but they still have difficulty relegating, which shows that the gap between the top Premier League clubs and relegation teams is narrowing.

From this we can see how valuable Millwall's fifty rounds are.

Many media have begun to prepare "special" programs, specifically reporting on Millwall's unbeaten, cutting one after another, and just waiting for the day when Millwall loses to make a "new record" summary column.

Some media believe that Millwall has a record of unbeaten and is more valuable than winning two consecutive league titles.

"The Premier League champions have one every year, but the unbeaten record of more than fifty rounds is enough to last ten years, twenty years, or even longer."

The World Sports Daily analysis pointed out.

German "Kicker" also analyzed, "Milwall's new record is very valuable, and it can be described as "great" and is difficult to surpass in the future!"

"What is even more exciting is that Millwall has many opportunities to break the records they have set and their performance is also confident."

There are also many media who remind themselves that their national teams must be careful of Millwall.

Of course, they don't need to remind you.

Millwall is the defending champion of the Champions League. His performance in Group C is still very dominant, and no team can be careless when they encounter it.

———

While the outside media kept reporting, Zhang Yang encountered something funny.

Dennis Wise...

This guy who is about to be forgotten asked him if there is still a seat in the coaching staff.

Since Wise left to coach Leicester City, Zhang Yang has no longer cared about it. Apart from sending a message to say hello, Wise didn't seem to want to tell Zhang Yang in detail the problems he encountered in coaching.

Then, now...

Wise was fired.

In February this year, Mandaridge officially acquired Leicester City, and then head coach Rob Kelly was fired by the club. Leicester City was replaced by Nigel Worthington as the guard team leader until the end of the season. Worthington led the team to relegation successfully, but after the end of the season, he did not become the official head coach.

Leicester City invited Dennis Wise as the team's head coach.

Perhaps Leicester City is hopeful that Wise, as Zhang Yang's assistant and Millwall's "starter", can replicate Zhang Yang's success in Millwall. They also gave Wise a good contract, but Wise did not lead the team to set sail.

Since the beginning of the season, Leicester City led by Wise has suffered a Waterloo of results. They are even worse than last season's hard relegation, and their rankings have always been hovering between nineteen and twenty-two, and few can win a game.

Such results will definitely not satisfy the club.

In the end, Leicester City could not bear it anymore and decided to fire Wise and find an experienced coach to replace him. Otherwise, Leicester City would really be downgraded to Class A.

Wise has been fired for two weeks.

The media reported this incident, but the dismissal of a team leader in the Championship was not too big. Leicester City is far from the London region, so Zhang Yang even knew about it.

Wisela couldn't bear to look for Zhang Yang, but in the end she couldn't find a suitable next home. Considering her coaching level, she decided to return to Millwall.

Millwall is no longer as easy as ever. It is not easy to join Millwall's coaching staff.

There are many coaches outside, even first-class coaches, who want to find a place in the Millwall coaching team. One is that the Millwall coaching team is well treated and is completely comparable to the giant team. The other is that they want to observe and learn Zhang Yang's way of leading the team up close.

That's right!

Many coaches think so.

Millwall's success can no longer be described as a miracle. Many media attribute the reason to Zhang Yang's leadership level.

Such a high-level team-leading ability must have aspects that can be learned.

So it was very easy for Zhang Yang to find an assistant coach, but after Wise proposed it, Zhang Yang thought carefully and decided to hire Wise, but not Millwall, but his private employment.

"Dennis, I hope you will be my assistant, my closest assistant."

Zhang Yang and Wise talked face to face.
