Chapter 109 is too young!
Chapter 109 is too young!
The relaxed living atmosphere made Zhang Yang relax a little.
On the second day, Zhang Yang had to devote himself to heavy and intense work. Millwall's schedule was very challenging, and all staff did not have any day off. Every player had to continue to devote himself to training.
Zhang Yang is much more diligent than before.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yang came to the club and stayed in the head coach's office, thinking about matters related to tactical training, and going to study the next opponent if he had time.
When the training officially starts, he will stay on the first team training ground with others, watching each player's training.
Zhang Yang has strict requirements on training!
In the past, all the players devoted themselves to training, so they didn't have to worry about anything, but in the last two days, he found that some players started to slack off in the middle of training.
So he supervised the training himself.
This works great.
As the team won one victory after another, many players recognized Zhang Yang's ability, and Zhang Yang's majesty also increased day by day. However, in terms of the team's majesty, Zhang Yang's shortcoming is that he is too young.
On the surface, many players don't care.
They feel that it would be embarrassing to 'care', because Zhang Yang is too young, and he would feel offended when he heard someone younger than himself.
But in fact, most players care.
The example of Braniff is there, on the notice board of the club, and a few pictures are still posted there, everyone passing by can see it, it is really a bit of a shame.
In recent days, Braniff has been staying in the youth team.
Not to mention participating in the game, he couldn't even participate in the training of the first team.
At this time, many players also knew the effect of this trick.
That's kind of scary!
If they are targeted by Zhang Yang, it is embarrassing to post photos on the bulletin board, it becomes impossible to train normally, and it is even less necessary to think about playing in games.
When Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines in person, most of the players trained with peace of mind and did not dare to be lazy. This may also be related to the atmosphere in the team. The main core players of Millwall are still very conscious, such as Like Jody Morris, Darren Ward, and Neil Harris, they won't sneak around to train, and others can only train hard under the attention of a few coaches .
But players' unconscious training is still a problem.
Aldous was worried, "I don't know why recently, everyone seems to be not in the mood to train much."
"Perhaps I should take two days off!"
Frederick made a barely passable suggestion.
Zhang Yang thought about it.
In the past, everyone was training hard, perhaps because of Wise's leading role, or maybe because the team was under the pressure of relegation. Under the circumstances that the results have not been good, all the players trained very seriously. This is the enthusiasm brought about by the pressure.
Now the team's performance has improved, maybe it has no motivation?
He decided to take another look.
Zhang Yang said, "Two more games! After playing Queens Park Rangers, we will give the team two days off and let everyone relax."
The three agreed.
What the team needs to worry about is not only 'not active in training', but more importantly, 'injuries'. In the middle of training that day, Tony Clegg was injured. The 21-year-old young guard is already half of the team. A main player, his injury is still very annoying. In addition, several players have caught a cold. Although it is not serious, it may also affect their performance.
These are troubles.
However, Zhang Yang still has very strict requirements for training. He stipulates that every player must complete the training that should be done, especially in tactical training, he must devote himself even more seriously.
In the afternoon, when the players gathered together, Zhang Yang said in public, "I saw some people started to be lazy! I understand the feelings of those lazy people, just like in school, some students will sleep when the teacher is not paying attention. But you have already I'm an adult, I don't target anyone, I want to see everyone focus on training."
Zhang Yang walked in front of the team with his hands behind his back, "Of course, I also know that training is very tiring, especially the weather is not so good recently, so it's not easy to persevere. But at this stage, our schedule is very intensive. We discussed it, After playing Queens Park Rangers, the team will have two days off, I hope the holiday will bring you back your enthusiasm!"
This news made many players cheer.
In times of intense competition, where every training day seems to repeat itself, there is nothing quite like a holiday.
----
The No.30 round of the English Championship is approaching, and Millwall ushered in its opponent Wolverhampton.
For the vast number of Chinese fans, the name of "Wulffhampton Wanderers Football Club" is too long, so for the sake of convenience and habit, it is generally called "Wolfhampton Wanderers" as "Wolfhampton Wanderers".
Wolves is a nickname and a code name.
Wolves are a 'Premier League relegated team'.
In the 2002-2003 season, the Wolves performed very well. They stood out from the promotion play-offs and successfully promoted to the Premier League. Up and down, the Wolves seem to be stained with the "top league halo", but they are still only a mid-level team in the British Championship.
The teams that have performed well in the English Championship over the past seasons are no worse than the relegated teams from the Premier League.
Since the match was at the Neil Stadium, Millwall had plenty of time to prepare for the game. The team had a simple training in the morning and went to the stadium together at three o'clock in the afternoon.
When they got to the court, they were also much earlier than their opponents.
Zhang Yang still has time to go around the stadium with Ebenezer. He has been the Millwall coach for nearly a month, and he has only led the team to participate in the I game, but he has not visited his home stadium carefully.
Neil Stadium is still very young, having been established in 1990.
The reason at that time was that it was impossible to rebuild the old Neil Stadium into an all-seat stadium, so the Millwall Club decided to build a new stadium.
At the beginning, the planned capacity of the new stadium was 8000 people, but it was still the same reason-funding constraints, the team did not raise additional funds, so only 1993 seats were built at the Neil Stadium. In [-], Millwall Officially using Neal Field, it's only a half block away from the old course.
In British football as a whole, Neal Stadium is not famous at all.
This may be because Millwall has been performing poorly, and other fans rarely hear its name, but due to factors such as geographical location and surrounding environment, this stadium is often used as a shooting location for TV dramas, movies and commercials, such as it It is the real body of "The-Dragons-Lair", the home stadium of the virtual team "Charchester United" in the British Sky TV series "Dream Team". At the same time, the stadium is often used as a venue for boxing matches and women's football matches.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "You have really worked hard to make the club earn more money."
Ebenezer laughed, "I think it's a compliment."
"That's impossible, right?"
"Yeah, the club has always been short of funds. We have very little support and no other income..." When it comes to the club's financial problems, Ebenezer has a lot of emotion.
Zhang Yang felt that Ebenezer was the biggest contributor to the development of the club.
Compared with most other Championship teams, Millwall's fan support is one of the worst. Fan support represents the market and directly affects the income of the club's various commercial affairs.
Without fan support, there is not much business to develop.
However, as a mid-range team, Millwall's financial situation is actually not too bad. Although there is not much transfer funds, at least the club does not have to worry about bankruptcy.
This is already pretty good.
Most of the small clubs in the UK are losing money all the year round.
The FA keeps promoting the 'commercialization' of professional football, but they only target the top Premier League, not the British Championship, League One, or other lower-level leagues.
Zhang Yang walked around the Neil Stadium, checked the time and went to the press conference.
The press conference was deserted.
Even as a Championship team, the number of [-] to [-] reporters at the press conference is definitely pitifully small.
Zhang Yang was prepared.
From the last game until now, there are still many media reporting on the British Championship, criticizing him personally. The "British Football News" also declared, "As long as Zhang Yang is the head coach for one day, he will never send reporters to Millwall. interview!"
The London Sporting News didn't say it directly, but it said the same thing.
Driven by the two medium-sized media, some small media relying on the support of upper-level news materials no longer send reporters to interview. The medium and small media in the London area seem to have joined forces to 'boycott' Zhang Yang and Millwall.
As a result, the number of reporters who came to interview became very small, but the quality increased, because most of them came to big media.
"BBC Television", "The Times", "Sky Sports"... the few reporters are all from the big media, so Zhang Yang found some psychological comfort.
When there are fewer reporters to deal with, the level of seriousness increases.
Zhang Yang answered each reporter's questions seriously, and he explained every question in detail about the game, the team, and the individual, which also made the reporters who came to cover the game have a good impression of him.
When the reporter has a good impression, the questions are no longer so sharp.
The atmosphere of the interview was unusually friendly.
The head coach of the Wolves, Dave Jones of McGuinness, will be much busy. There are only dozens of reporters on the scene, but more than half of them are Wolverhampton reporters who came with the Wolves.
It takes a long time for one person to deal with so many reporters, and it takes a long time for each reporter to ask a question.
Zhang Yang left first.
Dave Jones noticed Zhang Yang's departure, and he, who focused on studying Millwall, of course knew what had happened recently - Millwall 'blocked' two influential media in the London area, which is tragic. Encountered the 'anti-blocking' of the two media.
Those two media happened to be the most reported on the Championship in the London area.
This is the situation.
Dave Jones couldn't understand Zhang Yang's approach.
In Dave Jones' view, a young coach who has just entered the football circle should lead the team honestly. Even if he is a little 'wronged' by the media, he should try his best to endure it instead of confronting reporters head-on. .
How is it now?
In Millwall's home league, there are very few journalists coming to interview.
Although several big media reporters came, big media and the English Championship are two unrelated words. The big media will not report on a single English Championship team. After each round of the league, they will only report on the small page Tell me about the Championship score.
Those journalists from the big media came here to interview just because they didn’t want to miss the big news. Millwall vs. Wolves, a game that was so ordinary that it couldn’t be more ordinary, what big news would there be?
"It's still too young!" Dave Jones shook, but he felt secretly refreshed.
This is a rare find of superiority!
Dave Jones is only 41 years old. In an environment where professional league coaches are all over 50 or [-] years old, most of the opponents he encounters are older.
Now he's finally the 'big' one!
