Mihailo Ivanovic reacts in one word to Japhet Tanganga's Millwall FC message | OneFootball

Japhet Tanganga won the Millwall player of the year award for the 2024/25 campaign

Mihailo Ivanovic has issued a response to Japhet Tanganga’s Millwall message to commemorate the end of the campaign.

Tanganga received the player of the year award for his performances this season, having joined the Lions on a permanent basis last summer.

The defender was a key part of the club’s push for a play-off place, which they narrowly missed out on.

The 26-year-old played 40 times in the Championship, even contributing two goals, as the team finished eighth in the table.

Tanganga’s end of season message to Millwall supporters

Tanganga issued a message to supporters on social media to acknowledge his strong campaign with Millwall.

He thanked the fans for their support throughout the term, with Alex Neil’s side missing out on a top six finish by just two points.

“And that’s a wrap!” wrote Tanganga, via Instagram.

“Thank you for the support throughout and see you guys soon.

“Not my doing but His.”

Ivanovic shared his support for the defender with his response, praising his impact in the team with just one word.

“Wall,” replied the forward.

Ivanovic also joined Millwall on a permanent basis last summer, scoring 12 times from 37 appearances in his first Championship campaign.

Millwall league position

Millwall finished eighth in the Championship table, with a 3-1 loss to Burnley on the final day of the season costing them a chance at a top six finish.

The Lions had won five of their previous six prior to the trip to Turf Moor, giving them a shot at a play-off place, but they ultimately came up short by just two points.

Neil will now be focusing his attention on the summer transfer window, where he will be hoping the club can make more signings with the impact of Tanganga and Ivanovic.

The new season of the Championship won’t start until 8 August.

Tanganga’s impressive campaign

Tanganga made a solid impact during his loan spell in the second half of the previous campaign, and has gone on to endear himself greatly to the Millwall fans.

His performances this season have stood out, and he played a key part in their push for a top six finish.

The defender also proved a solid attacking threat for the club, with his supreme presence in the air proving a key trait at both ends of the pitch.
