Chapter 611 The huge advantage of mentality

Pire's goal made Chelsea a little annoyed, they felt that they were careless just now.

But Chelsea didn't care.

Since the 7th minute of the game, they have been the leading side. The pattern of the score has changed is that they scored a goal, Millwall scored a goal, and they scored another goal, Millwall...

Now, the score has become 3 to 3.

They are used to it.

So what if Millwall tied the score? They have always been the leading side. In theory, the next goal still belongs to Chelsea.

In addition to the rules of the score, Chelsea has also shown confidence.

Since Millwall was promoted to the Premier League, the two sides have played four or five games each season, but they have always been the passive side, the only one has only tied once.

Looking at the results, I know it’s pitiful!

Before the start of this season, there was no suspense in the Community Shield Cup, and many players felt a little desperate when they met Millwall.

"Can we really win Millwall?" The players were pessimistic before the game, because their past record was too bad, which directly affected their confidence and fighting spirit.

Now, it's different.

A continuous lead, three goals in the halftime were enough to support their belief that they believed that Millwall would not continue to win, and they would also become the team that ended Millwall's unbeaten.

Chelsea continued the next game with great confidence.

So in the stoppage time, the game seemed to be more intense.

Fans all hoped that there would be no halftime break, but the rules of the game were like this. They would not continue because the game was intense. The referee still blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

Many people can't wait to watch the next game.

Chelsea coach Grant also felt a pity. He could see Chelsea's good form. Even if Mirwall equalized the score, it did not interrupt Chelsea's good form.

If the game continues like this, Chelsea cannot say that they will definitely beat Millwall, but the draw is not a problem at all.

"Winning without defeat" is the best description.

Zhang Yang could also see that Chelsea was in great shape. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the whistle in the midfield.

The first half was 3-3. From the outside, Millwall didn't seem to perform well. Many people are used to Millwall leading Chelsea or winning Chelsea. Even if it's a big score, it won't be surprised.

Zhang Yang is quite satisfied with the team's performance.

Millwall has defeated Chelsea many times before, and sometimes wins with a big score, but it does not mean that Millwall is much better than Chelsea. Zhang Yang is very clear that the head coach's module skills are the fundamentals. A "word and method" in each game almost means a goal. With the effect of "prediction" and "lucky blessing", the three abilities are in hand, so it is naturally easy to defeat the opponent.

Millwall's strength has been improving, and the players' strength and the team's overall strength are definitely not bad compared to Chelsea.

There is no exact criterion for players' ability and overall strength, but considering the improvement of players' strength in the team, Braniff, Vardy, Simpson, and Livermore can all be said to be good scoring and capable players in the team.

Millwall is definitely not worse than Chelsea. He is about to say that he is not much stronger, because other players are a little worse, even compared with star players.

For example, Morris and Sneider.

Is Morrisby's Upper Lampard? Is Snederby's Upper Mikel?

It's hard to say.

With core players like this, other players are even worse. For example, O'Neal, Wes Morgan, Concheski and others, they still have many opportunities to play at Millwall. It would be nice to have a substitute position at Chelsea, and they may not even be able to play in the game.

Millwall's overall strength and outstanding scoring ability is based on the ability of "Speaking Spirit Bewitching" - Livermore, Valdy, Simpson and Braniff. Among these four players, Braniff is strong, one class higher than the others, and the other three are average, but they all have their own unique skills: long-range shooting, sensitive shooting ability and set pieces.

Therefore, when Chelsea was in very good shape, it was not surprising that they could fight Millwall head-on and lead continuously, and they could lead continuously.

Millwall performed well in the first half, especially after the substitution adjustment, the offense and defense remained efficient, and every player was also very hard on the court.

This is enough.

When all the players in the locker room lowered their heads and felt that they were not performing well, Zhang Yang walked in and praised everyone, "We did a good job! We fell behind continuously in the first half because our opponents were in good shape."

"There is no way." Zhang Yang shrugged and said helplessly, "When you meet an opponent in good condition, you will always be depressed. We can't pin our hope of winning on the opponent's bad condition. So this is normal. We are not behind and scored three goals. Each of you deserves praise!"

After that, Zhang Yang talked about the adjustment strategy seriously, "In the second half, continue to strengthen defense, we will use the easiest way to deal with them..."

The simple way Zhang Yang thought of was to defend with all his heart and play the strengths of the team in offense.

What are Millwall's strengths?

Others may be able to think of a gorgeous offensive, but Zhang Yang knew clearly that it was actually the player's ability to score.

Zhang Yang asked Braniff to increase the ball control, giving him extremely high freedom in the frontcourt, and it would be better to anger the opponent's foul and get a free kick opportunity.

Livermore was asked to increase the number of times he inserted and use long shots to shock the opponent.

Ask Vardy to be in the front and shoot directly if you find an opportunity!

Among other players, except Simpson, Pirey occasionally needs to intervene and stay patiently in the backcourt to make his half-court defense more stable.

This statement is equivalent to giving up the overall offensive and focusing on fast counterattacks and using the abilities of frontcourt players to attack.

Some people don't understand.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, Zhang Yang has absolute authority.

The players just need to do what they want.

Zhang Yang cannot be 100% sure whether the adjustment is correct. When the score is tied, let the team defend patiently and use the frontcourt to attack, and there will definitely be no big mistakes.

Without big mistakes, it's enough.

Zhang Yang has not used the "Speaking and Sutra" and as long as he has a good chance, it is equivalent to creating an additional goal.

In this case, if you still lose the game, there is nothing you can do.

Millwall's play adjustment can be seen in the first minute of the second half.

When Chelsea kicked off, Millwall quickly contracted the defense. Except for Vardy, all other players retreated to defend, even Braniff.

This is the first time since the opening.

"Sky Sports" commentator Paul Scott said in surprise, "Milwall seems to have become a little more conservative. They retreated very far, and only Valdy stayed in front..."

"Probably they want to defend."

"It is said that Millwall is an offensive team, but any head coach with good results must care more about the results. Even Arsenal has times when defending the entire line for victory..."

"Faced with the strong Chelsea, Millwall's choice to defend may be a safe way."

The next game confirmed Paul Scott's statement.

Chelsea was very relaxed and controlled the midfield. They kept passing and searching for opportunities. Millwall turned a blind eye to this. Those who stepped forward were all frontcourt players, while the others were shrinking near the penalty area, waiting for Chelsea to attack.

Seeing this scene, Grant felt a little funny and helpless, "It's really..."

He doesn't know how to describe it.

It would be very simple if you use Chinese. The word "don't-face" is completely ignoring the face. At home, you have the strength to fight head-on with your opponent, but you just huddled in your own half and waited for your opponent to attack.

But how can Chelsea attack?

Mirwall defended tightly near the penalty area, and rashly passed the ball over, which was equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent. Most of the time, he could only reach the outside world because he contracted the defense line. Mirwall's midfield pressing intensity was not high, but Chelsea was not Barcelona. He kept passing the ball and the chance of making mistakes was very high. Mirwall took the opportunity to launch a counterattack...

Grant was a little afraid to think about it.

This is the situation of the game now. What Grant is a bit strange is, "Don't they want to win?" The score is three to three. If Chelsea were "shameless" and fell from the backcourt to the midfield area, Millwall was only one of Valdy, and it was impossible to grab it. The game time will be consumed slowly, and it will be difficult to score goals in the end.

That way the fans will definitely be unsatisfied.

Grant doesn't consider fans, the victory or defeat of the game is the most important thing. Thinking deeper, he found that Millwall is really "a big up".

Millwall is the top of the league, with six more points than Manchester United and Arsenal, and still has four points advantage in a draw.

What about Chelsea?

The top four in the league cannot be found!

Chelsea must work hard to get points. If you draw, you only have one point, which is actually similar to failure. There is hope of winning three points in front of you, and the hope of defeating Millwall to build confidence for the team, and even the players on the court will not give up.

So in terms of mentality, Millwall has the advantage.

Even if they are at home!

At this time, Zhang Yang's high prestige is reflected. Millwall was shaped by him. Without Zhang Yang, there would be no Millwall now. Even if the home game is ugly, Zhang Yang will not be under pressure, because almost all fans support him, the club will support him, and the players of the entire team will support him.

Grant's situation is different.

Chelsea's poor results started, and the pressure was on Grant.

Chelsea is a championship team, so you can't fall behind in the middle of the season, right?

Thinking of his current situation and considering the effect he can bring to defeat Millwall, Grant found that as a coach, the opponent's mentality of looking at the victory or defeat cannot be compared with the opponent.

The score is 3 to 3.

But in fact, Chelsea is still at a disadvantage!
