Chapter 899 Solving the Double Virtue Problem
"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"

"The veteran team took the lead in this game! After the two protagonists Lampard and Gerrard passed in the midfield, Gerrard made a long pass and directly found Owen in front!"

"Owen dribbled the ball straight forward! Kyle Walker was passed!"

"Owen pushed the far corner of the goal! Pickford fell to the ground to save! He touched the ball with his fingertips! The ball slid out!"

"The game has just started, and the old team launched a very good attack. Ten years ago in Liverpool and the England national team, Gerrard and Owen often played such a pass-run combination. Today we have the honor to see you again. It is really impressive. Feeling."

"Sterling and Ashley Young switched positions, Manchester City's new star came to the left. He wanted to break through the old guard!"

"Gary Neville's tackle! Sterling loses the ball!"

"Gary Neville used his actions to tell the juniors in front of him that with his defensive right, no one can get through!"

"The ball was passed to Beckham in front! Beckham and Scholes passed the ball!"

"Beckham made a 45-degree cross! Sheringham headed the goal! The ball hit the crossbar!"

"The England national team escaped a catastrophe!"

"The cooperation just now was so smooth! From Gary Neville's interception pass, to the midfielder Beckham and Scholes' one-two cooperation, then to Beckham's cross, and finally Sheringham Tom headed the goal! Four old Manchester United players contributed a wonderful cooperation! I suddenly remembered the 1999 Manchester United Champions League final, really nostalgic!"

The fans of this game were very enjoyable. From the first minute of the game, the veterans launched a fierce attack.Although some players have been away from the green field for several years, their physical condition is still good. Except for the goalkeeper Seaman who is a little fat, everyone else is still a standard athlete.

And Lampard and Gerrard have just retired, the game is in full condition, and their physical strength is also good, so the England veterans played brilliantly in this game.

At this time, the commentators Morris and Raman did not pay much attention to the process of the game. They have been chatting about the past few years and the stories of these players on the field. Of course, it is also full of the youth of the fans.

"The central defender combination of Ferdinand and Campbell, even now, is a top configuration."

"Yes, the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal in the league around 2000, in a way, was also a competition for the stability of the defense led by these two men."

"When Kaka retired this summer, I immediately thought of Irving. He also became famous at a young age, had the same handsome face, joined Real Madrid from the same place where his dream started, and was also tired of injuries and had no choice but to retire. If they can If you are in good health and continue to play, what will the future look like? It is really impressive."

"Yeah, apart from Irving, the same is true for Joe Cole and Hargreaves who are currently on the bench. They are plagued by injuries and have no choice but to retire. God is really jealous of talents."

"Raman, I found something different in today's game."

"Morris, what did you find?"

"I found that Lampard and Gerrard worked very well together."

"Well, it's really good. The two complement each other in midfield."

"But don't forget that the big problem that has plagued the England national team for many years is the problem of 'dual virtues and harmony'! No previous head coach can solve it."

"Yeah, these two are the offensive core and playmaker of their respective club teams. Both have strong propulsion ability, both have a long shot, and both have a precise pass. When they appear on the court at the same time Sometimes, the roles of the two people have a strong overlapping, and even a situation of 'one plus one is less than two'."

"Raman, look at the situation on the court today, these two people have completely different situations. The cooperation on both ends of offense and defense is very tacit, what's going on?"

Not only Morris and Raman were surprised, but even many professionals who watched the game were also very puzzled.

England coach Southgate even came to Kim Tiger's coaching table and asked him directly: "Coach Tiger, how did you arrange Lampard and Gerrard? Why do they cooperate so tacitly?"

Kintag laughed, and he chatted with Southgate about his thoughts on the sidelines.

"The issue of dual virtues is very complicated, and it cannot be solved with just one or two sentences. To put it bluntly, these two people cannot coexist because of the same characteristics. Both of them belong to the core of the offense that must have the ball at their feet."

"But in the previous England national team, they lacked an excellent partner. The best partners for these two should be two types, one is to match the core of the playmaker and the scorer, such as Alonso in Liverpool's time. With him next to Gerrard, Gerrard is at his best."

"The other is to match the defensive core and iron waist, such as Makelele and Essien when Lampard was at Chelsea. If someone protects them, they will be able to maximize their offensive attributes."

Hearing Kim Tag's analysis, Southgate was still a little puzzled: "But you don't have Alonso or Makelele on the court now, or these two are on the court, why did you suddenly cooperate with each other?"

Kim Tag continued, "Because they are old."

"Because I'm old? Tiger, the more I listen, the more confused I become."

Kim Tag looked at the two on the court, and then spoke his mind.

"In addition to the tactical aspect of the double virtue issue, the two of them also have some emotions in their psychology. Both of them want to become the core of the national team's offense. Their offensive attributes are bursting, and their state has always been good. Both of them are moving forward, and the pressure on the defensive line is naturally great. .”

"Before this game, I asked the two of them to maintain their physical strength and control the transition between offense and defense. After all, it is their farewell game, and it is best to try to finish the 90-minute game."

"Look at the two of them on the field, when their physical strength is a little exhausted, they will retreat to defend, play as a support, and then let the other person press up and become the core of the offense. In this way, whether it is mental state or position on the field, the two Individuals can be very balanced.”

After listening to Kim Tagore's words, Southgate nodded, and he looked at Kim Tagg with admiration: "Tiger, you are worthy of being the seven-time champion coach, you are really amazing! The problem that has plagued the England national team for many years, let you play a game That's it."

Jin Taige smiled slightly. Instead of discussing the issue of double virtues, he suddenly turned his head and asked Southgate: "Man, the time is not short now, you should get ready..."
