In 1885, a group of dockyard workers from Scotland founded a team called Millwall Rangers in Millwall, on the west end of the Isle of Dogs in southeast London, and soon changed its name to Millwall Athletic. They use a lion as their team emblem. In the 1994-95 season, they were the founding team of the Southern League of England and won the first and second league championships.

Millwall's peak period was just a few years ago.

In the 2003-04 season, at the Millennium Stadium, Millwall faced the Premier League hegemon and lost 0:3 and handed over the FA Cup championship.

At that time, Millwall was still a League One team.

Yes, the English Championship was established in the 2004-05 season.

A team from the second-tier league reached the FA Cup final.

This is definitely a good story, but it is a pity that they faced the top league in England.

The giant Manchester United, what they got was a disastrous defeat.

Millwall this season was considered a favorite for relegation at the beginning of the season. No one thought that Millwall, with the highest transfer window bid of 110,000 euros, could stay in the English Championship, not to mention that Millwall has just experienced this season. There was a coaching change, and new head coach Pearson just took over at the beginning of the season.

However, the competition in the British Championship this season is very fierce. Relying on defensive counterattacks, Pearson led the team to 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses in 10 games, ranking 14th with 11 league points, and the opponents Millwall currently encounters are also Not considered an underdog.

On October 21st, Millwall will visit Mido Lane Stadium to play against Notts County.

Because there are only three days left before the game against Leeds United, Zhou Xu must rotate the players to a certain extent.

"Coach Zhou Xu, you made a wide range of rotations in this game, and Wang Chu didn't get a chance to start. Is this a specific tactic?"

Zhou Xu, who has not participated in pre-match interviews for a long time, is seriously answering the interview of the little girl in front of him. This is a pre-match interview from a Chinese media, no, it should be said to be the most authoritative media in China.

Wang Chu is currently receiving the attention of fans across the country. , this has caused Notts County to receive a lot of attention in the country.

Due to the early confirmation of preparations for the 2018 World Cup, domestic calls for Camacho to be sacked have become increasingly louder, and Zhou Xu is also one of the candidates for the national football coach. What's more, he is going to Brazil. In the warm-up match of the National Football Team, Wang Chu, who came on as a substitute in the second half, was one of the few bright spots of the Chinese team.

In addition, Wang Chu is still a scarce overseas player in the country. This has led to not only Wang Chu, but also Wang Chu. Even Notts County and the English Championship are paying more attention, especially now that domestic football is in full swing. If there is a player in the country who is established in the five major leagues, and Notts County is a Chinese-funded club, there will be a steady stream of players. Sending talents to the Premier League is the idea of many domestic fans

"Whether Wang Chu starts the game still depends on the arrangements of the coaching staff, especially his own physical condition. Unfortunately, Wang Chu has encountered some bad things before, which made it difficult for him to return to the court after being seriously injured. The games in the English Championship are too intensive. We just finished the game against Leeds United a few days ago. In that game, Wang Chu played the whole game and performed well.

This is also the reason for the large-scale rotation. Most of the players in the team are young. We need to reduce the burden of games and protect them."

The beautiful reporter Meng Yuanjun in front of Zhou Xu nodded. She had also heard about Wang Chu's matter. This matter is really not easy to comment on.

"Coach Zhou Xu, the current national football coach Camacho's coaching career in the national football team is somewhat bad, and the fans regard you as a popular candidate to succeed Camacho. How would you evaluate the coaching position of the national football team?"

Sure enough, he couldn't escape, Zhou Xu sighed.

The national football team is really in chaos at the moment. It wasn't until the 1:5 defeat to Thailand in the warm-up match that Camacho ended his not-so-good national football career. Camacho even paid a large sum of money for the termination fee.

"At present, I will not choose to coach the national team. Maybe at the end of my coaching career, I will choose to coach the national team. As for the coaching position of the national football team, I don’t want to comment on it."

Zhou Xu chose to make peace. He didn't want to change history. After Perrin took over, the 2015 Asian Cup really shined. He regretted losing to Australia, the champion of that year. He thought that the national football team was about to usher in a revival, but he didn't expect that this would be its peak.

Regarding this question, Meng Yuanjun did not pursue it. After all, no one would want to go to the muddy waters of the national football team except to spend a lot of money. What's more, they are not willing to spend a lot of money for a Chinese coach.

"In a few weeks, the Chinese men's football team will have a warm-up match against New Zealand. Do you think Wang Chu will get a chance?"

This is a question that domestic fans want to know.

It is the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between New Zealand and the national football team will play against New Zealand at Shanghai Hongkou Stadium.

Before this game, I felt that both teams were not sociable.

New Zealand was going to compete in the World Cup preliminaries.

Let go of any warm-up match.

As for the national football team, this is the last game in 2012.

Because there will be Asian Cup qualifiers next year, the national football team will also go all out.

"Of course I hope Wang Chu can play, but I won't comment on other coaches' selections and lineups."

Zhou Xu's answer was more formal. He didn't want to say something controversial.

After the interview, Zhou Xu came to the home team's locker room at Mido Lane Stadium. In addition to Alisson, Zhou Xu made a full 8-person starting list before the game. Rotation.

Except for Vardy and Mane who continue to start, Salah rests and Mahrez starts the game.

Pogba returns from injury and starts the game. His midfield partner is Portugal's Judah B. Fee, Verratti is a guest in the defensive midfielder position.

On the defense line, Gomez, Ilori, Mings and Niemann are lined up.

On Millwall's side, under the leadership of new head coach Pearson, Mill. Wall mainly plays a 5-2-3 defensive counterattack formation. In the past 20 games in all competitions, a total of 14 assists and 6 long passes from the backcourt were relatively standard.

In Millwall's 5-3-2 tactics, The starting goalkeeper is Ford, who reacts quickly and accurately to pass the ball.

The 32-year-old Ford has rich experience.

Although his body has declined slightly, he only conceded 10 goals in 10 league games and averaged 3.

5 key saves per game.

Obviously, he still performed well in the British Championship.

Excellent.

Ford's shortcoming is that he doesn't like to attack and defends more on the goal line, which also makes it easy for the team to be beaten behind him.

On the back line, the 20-year-old Forlan is on the left of the three central defenders.

This is Millwall.

Erl coach Pearson relied on his own connections to rent a player from the youth team of the wealthy Arsenal.

The 1.

95-meter Forlan has amazing bounce, a huge header threat, and a strong body.

The disadvantage is that his foot skills are not delicate enough and he cannot grasp the timing of the tackle.

, The defensive position is not accurate enough, and people are often missed due to fouls or position errors.
