Chapter 116 The Only Goal

No. 301 minutes, Zhang Yang saw an opportunity.

That was a set piece.

The defense of the penalty area on the left side of the opponent was a bit chaotic. He told Jody Morris to look for opportunities from the left side of the penalty area, but Jody Morris failed to grab the ball, and the ball was still cleared by the opposing player out of the sideline.

The next game has been in a stalemate.

The first half ended 0-0.

Zhang Yang is aware of a problem: he needs to consider how to make adjustments to make it easier for the team to break through the opponent's defense and create good opportunities in front of the goal.

In the current game, the two sides are fighting fiercely. Tactics and routines are almost useless. When a player dribbles the ball, it is easy to be targeted by the opponent. The whole field fights to the vicinity of the penalty area, and they want to rely on cooperation to find opportunities. too difficult.

The first half of the game proved this.

Zhang Yang also made a decision, "You all should have noticed that in the first half of the game, when the ball was passed into the penalty area, it was difficult to get a chance, and the opponent's defense was very tight."

"So we need to increase the number of long shots! If you don't score once, you will kick twice, and if you don't score twice, you will kick three times! We must reduce the number of kicks into the penalty area and increase direct shots from the outside!"

Zhang Yang's idea is very simple, which is to increase the frequency of long-range shots.

In the Millwall team, Jody Morris, Joey Healy, Neil Harris and David Livermore are all threatening long-range shots. Several players are technical and powerful. But no matter what type it is, shooting from 20 meters in front of the goal can create a certain threat.

This is much more reliable than passing the ball into the penalty area looking for opportunities.

In the first half of the game, Millwall did not find a shot in the penalty area. All the opportunities created were from the outside, either from set kicks or long shots, so simply let the players take more shots from the outside. There are more opportunities.

Zhang Yang still has his hole card - he can't follow what he says.

If you see a ball with a chance, then use your ability directly, and you may be able to create a goal.

In this kind of game, one goal is enough to decide the outcome.

----

When facing the game against Millwall, Bridges has only one goal, and that is to lead the Queens Park Rangers to win the game.

Millwall's recent results are very good, only one draw since Christmas. With Queens Park Rangers, it is not easy to win the game away, but Bridges believes that he must lead the team to win--
It's about his face!

Unlike other Championship team coaches, they are very unfamiliar with Zhang Yang. Bridges has had contact with Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang almost joined the Queens Park Rangers. Against Millwall, the two became equal opponents.

The situation changed so quickly that it was a bit overwhelming.

Bridges felt that he had to win to save face, not only his own feelings, but also the club, fans, media, etc., all aspects were involved. For Queens Park Rangers, the match with Millwall It's just a league game, and it's a face-off against Bridges.

Bridges' chagrin was the first-half penalty.

A penalty kick is the best opportunity. Missing a penalty kick is equivalent to losing a goal. If Queens Park Rangers can score a goal, the advantage of the game will be too great.

In this kind of fierce confrontation game, a goal is very important.

At halftime, Bridges still knew what to do. He didn't talk about the kicked penalty, but directly arranged the second half of the game.

"We have to play more resolutely! Fight more intensely! Remember to speed up the tempo, that's good for us!"

"Pay attention to the defense, especially in front of the goal. The opponent always passes the ball. Pay more attention to the opponent's striker Neil Harris! He scored three goals in the last game!"

"If you don't have a chance, pass to the side, and make breakthroughs from the two sides!"

"..."

It can also be seen from Bridges' arrangement that he really doesn't have any "coaching style" to speak of. He basically makes targeted adjustments to the game. If there is no chance in the middle, let the team play on the side, and let the team play by the way. The characteristics of strong fighting ability.

He didn't think about Millwall at all.

In Bridges' view, the young Chinese was lucky enough to be the head coach of Millwall, but his on-the-spot command ability is definitely not comparable to his 'experienced' self, and the opponent is not very good at adjusting tactics.

Bridges also made his point as the second half began.

Millwall hasn't made changes at all.

Queens Park Rangers have changed, so the chances are more in favor of Queens Park Rangers.

But Queens Park Rangers didn't have an advantage either.

Millwall was full of fighting spirit. From the first minute of the second half, they used the offensive to suppress the Queens Park Rangers. The two sides fought fiercely for most of the time. The referee often blew the whistle to interrupt the game, but it can still be seen , Millwall had more chances. In just 1 minutes, they had four shots, while Queens Park Rangers didn't even have one.

"10 minutes, four long-range shots! Perhaps Millwall is deliberately looking for opportunities from the outside!"

Stadium announcer Mike Johnson saw the situation.

Bridges is still a little confused.

It's not that Bridges' level is not as good as Mike Johnson's, but that his thinking is a bit too complicated. He began to think that Millwall hadn't made adjustments, but now he finds that Millwall has the advantage, and he thinks it's the two teams Team performance issues.

From a big perspective, Millwall's tactics have not changed.

Just the choice of the last shot cannot be called a 'change of play', and it may also be a matter of personal thoughts or chances of the players.

Regardless of the reason for QPR's passiveness, Bridges began to worry about the game. He turned his head to the bench and began to consider whether to strengthen the defense to save the necessary point.

"Just wait and see!" Bridges finally shook his head and gave up the idea.

----

Just 10 minutes later, Bridges regretted it.

This time Millwall attacked from the wing, Joey Healey flicked the ball into the middle, David Livermore headed to Jody Morris, who flicked the ball with a flick. to the door.

The ball was a little off.

A normal high-altitude ball will not pass too close to the goal, but follow the outside of the small penalty area, so that there is a certain buffer space between the own players and the goalkeeper, so that they can have a chance to shoot.

Jody Morris may want to pass the ball and try his luck to shoot, so he kicked such a 'half shot, half pass' ball, but this kick caused confusion in front of the goal, Neil Harris Rush up quickly, the goalkeeper will rush out to pick the ball.

Standing on the sidelines, Zhang Yang waited for a long time. He saw the opportunity and said, "Mistake! A penetrating sentence directly reflected on the opponent's goalkeeper Chris Day.

Chris Day is about to jump for the ball.

But at the moment of jumping, the light became a little dazzling, and the raised hands in a trance couldn't help but relax. As a result, he couldn't hold the ball firmly, and the football slipped from his palms and fell to the ground.

It's even more messy in front of the door!
Most of the players in the penalty area did not know where the ball was, nor did they know who touched the ball in the chaos, and the football rolled over the goal line immediately.

When the football rolls across the goal line, few people can determine the goal, but the line referee behind the baseline is definitely one of them. He raised his hand to indicate a goal. After the referee blew his whistle, his right hand immediately pointed to the center circle.

What this action represents is obvious!
"Hula..."

Excited cheers erupted at the Neal Stadium, but more fans were still staring at the direction of the Queen's Park Rangers goal.

After everyone confirmed the goal, the cheers became more intense.

"Sky Sports" quickly called up the slow-motion playback, only to find that David Livermore kicked the ball into the goal.

There's a lot of luck involved.

Livermore didn't kick it on purpose, but was too tightly guarded, and his body was a little unstable. He took a small step back and hit the ball with his heel, but anyway, this was his goal. .

"It's Livermore! Livermore! We're sure! In the chaos, Livermore kicks the ball into the goal with his heel!"

"The score became one to zero!"

"The goal at this time is too critical! With this goal, it will be too difficult for the Rangers to recover..."

Millwall fans cheer for the goal.

Amidst the cheers from all around, Zhang Yang thought about the goal and secretly felt lucky. During the halftime break, he asked the team to increase the shots from the outside, but the effect can only be said to be mediocre, because the opponent's penalty area is tightly blocked.

Millwall had a lot of shots, but not many were really threatening.

He hasn't found a good opportunity to use 'Spoken Words', nor has he found a good opportunity to make adjustments.

Just now I just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect the ball to be scored in the chaos. It really echoed the old saying 'anything can happen in a football match'.

Many goals are due to luck.

Good luck for Livermore, good luck for Millwall.

After scoring this goal, Zhang Yang felt relaxed all over. This match was too difficult, perhaps because of the 'London Derby'. The relationship between the two sides was not good. Every player worked hard on the field. As a result, the game is constantly interrupted, and it is almost impossible for simple tactics to be effective. The game depends on performance and luck.

Queens Park Rangers is a different feeling.

When he saw Millwall complete the goal, Bridgeston was in a depressed mood. Thinking back to the scoring process, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! How could you let go!"

He was complaining about his goalkeeper.

"Dog-shit luck!"

This sentence is secretly calling Millwall to rely on luck.

But no matter how dissatisfied Bridges was, the score had been rewritten, and the Queens Park Rangers suddenly became much more passive, because from the beginning of the game, the two teams did not find any good opportunities.

A goal is too important!
This can completely determine the outcome of the game!
