The Young Lion

Aldridge's authority in the England national team can be called no anger and self-prestige. He does not need to show his face to establish his prestige. Before the Rooney scandal in the World Cup, he was kicked back to England directly, and later McManaman violated the rules of heaven to say goodbye the national team.

Under the influence of the media, the England team is quite showy and flamboyant, and the wives are famous all over the world. On the passionate stage of football, the wags add more gorgeous elements to the England team, which already has entertainment elements.

However, in the team, the players are very cautious and restrained. What to do when they come to the competition, they have experience two years ago, and the iron rules of the military are also kept in mind.

The England team stayed in a hotel in Lisbon and prepared for the game in a closed manner without any external influence.

There are still three days before the opening game, and the basic work in the team is back on track, and Aldridge will start to focus all his energy on England's debut against France in four days.

He is already a hands-off shopkeeper, club, national team, all the same.

Two years ago, England's coaching staff was reorganized. The only Millwall coaches who went to Portugal with Aldridge in the summer were Jensen and Stella Marjoni.

The work contract between Jenson and Millwall has ended, and he will officially part ways with Aldridge when all the matches in England at this European Cup are over. Now he holds 8 club invitations, 5 of which are from the Premier League , La Liga, and Bundesliga clubs, but they are all mid-lower teams, and the other three are invitations from European second-tier leagues, such as Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League. He has already made a decision to return to the Netherlands in the summer and go to a veteran team Feyenoord club assumes a new position.

Aldridge will let Villas-Boas take over the position of the club after Jansen leaves.

Jenson has worked as a teaching assistant for ten years. There is no flaw in his proficiency. He has reported to Aldridge on the training arrangements in the England team and the evaluation of players' status.

In the hotel's business conference room, Aldridge sat at the top. He nodded to Stramaccioni, indicating that he could begin his work.

He has been with Aldridge for almost two seasons, and Stella Maggioni is no longer Wuxia Amon. He is just a handsome Italian two years ago.

He is studying and working at the same time, and naturally becomes a workaholic. However, he enjoys it and feels that he will be inspired every once in a while, and he is constantly improving, and there are fewer and fewer things that Aldrich needs to mention in his work.

He stood next to the large projection screen in the conference room and turned on the projector. Putting in the slideshow, the formation of the French team appeared on the big screen.

two years ago,

He would give Aldrich a well-regulated formation when inspecting the opponent's report work, but after two years, the opponent's formation he sorted out has become irregular, depicting the basic formation of the opponent's technical and tactical system as three-dimensionally as possible .

on the big screen. It is an irregular 442 formation.

Needless to say, the four backs are relatively regular.

The double lower backs are not parallel.

The double midfielder of the French team, Makelele is slightly behind and to the right. Vieira moved slightly forward and to the left.

In the core of the midfield, Zidane's position is also to the left.

The French team does not have a left midfielder or a left winger.

In theory, the French team has someone who is very suitable for this position, Pires, but he is on the right avant-garde.

On the front line, Trezeguet leaned forward to the right, and Henry leaned back slightly to the left.

Ever since. In the offensive part of the French team's formation, the right position in the front field is relatively empty. Although there is no left winger, there is a certain sense of density on the left.

Stella Maggioni said confidently: First of all, the results of the French team in the European Cup qualifiers are not enough to be used as a reference. It is not convincing. Just like England, the French team's European Cup qualifiers are different. Yes, Israel, Slovenia, Malta, and Cyprus are almost all third-rate European teams, so they can play a crazy record of 8 victories, 29 goals and only 2 conceded goals. I think it would be any world-class team In this group, the team won't be too difficult. The French team won the Confederations Cup last summer. It was a very gorgeous French team. However, I still insist that it is not a reference. nature, because there is a big factor that affects the French team. If I use the normal formation to arrange the formation of the French team I have shown, it is obvious that the French team is playing a unilateral offensive formation, which is to weaken the French team. The focus is on the right flank, but in fact, on the contrary, the French team's right flank attack is far inferior to the left flank attack, at least, I believe that's what French coach Santini envisioned.

Just looking at the formation and the player positions marked by Stella Maggioni, the situation of the French team is roughly in mind.

He really became the shopkeeper, so he only started to think now. Stella Marcioni was doing the research on the opponent. After summarizing, he reported it to Aldrich, and Aldrich combined some of his remembered experiences. to make a comprehensive judgment.

After Desailly faded out of the main force, the French team put Thuram in the position of central defender, so the question arises, who is the right back?

This tournament looks to be using Gallas, a player who can play full-back but is not necessarily at the top level.

The left back is already dominated by Lizarazu, and Thuram's partner is Manchester United player Sylvester.

Stella Maggioni made a cross in front of the right back where Gallas was located on the big screen, and drew an arrow in front of Lizarazu, saying: The French team's right backcourt attack can almost Said that there is not much threat, Gallas will not suddenly have a sudden burst of threat like Thuram, at most he will only carry out a certain amount of supporting work on the basis of completing his own work. The backcourt left attack It is different. The intention shown by Santini in the warm-up match in the past six months is obviously to hope that Lizarazu can also complete the work of full-back and full-back. Winger? That is not his turn! The French team looks like It is to give up the attack on the left. In fact, I think Pires is placed on the right, which is a compromise of Santini. He must create space for Zidane and Henry, as well as Lizarazu. Zidane is used to He retreats deep in the backcourt to hold the ball, and then inserts, and his frequency of moving to the left is much higher than that of other areas. At the same time. Lizarazu has a strong sense of assists. Henry, we are more familiar with him. Millwall has a wide range of activities in the frontcourt and is also very active on the left, because Ronaldinho of Millwall is not a pure left forward. There will be no obvious conflict with Henry, but in the French team, when When three players are used to being active on the left, if Pires is still placed on the left, then it will be absolutely crowded and conflicted. Therefore, Pires is a victim of Santini's tactical design and went to the right.

Aldridge nodded involuntarily due to Stramaccioni's research and analysis.

Since a few years ago, Henry has been in full swing, but even though Henry's scoring rate in the French team is not low, he still feels inconspicuous. Especially when paired with Zidane, it did not achieve the invincible super effect that people expected.

It would be bullshit to say they didn't fit together at all.

I can only say forward Henry. The core midfielder Zidane did not achieve the chemical reaction effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

This possibly slightly offsetting effect stems from regional conflicts of playing habits.

Henry will also pull the side at Millwall, and two seasons ago, when Larson was still the absolute main force, Larson was a stable scoring point on the right side of the striker. The first choice for Henry to pull the side is the left side, which is good for him to run and cut or cut in with the ball and shoot with his right foot.

There is no such conflict in Millwall. There are two points of support.

First of all, although Ronaldinho's starting position is on the left, Ronaldinho will cut inside. Will lean towards the middle and be able to switch positions with Nedved.

The second point is Nedved's playing habits and game experience awareness. If Henry goes to the left and Ronaldinho cuts in the middle, Nedved will go directly to the penalty area!

The tacit understanding between club players must far exceed that of the national team. This is not directly related to the reputation of the players. It is not a famous player. Players with a strong sense of experience will be perfect and smooth when combined. Real Madrid is an example.

Millwall players have played together for a long time, and the tacit understanding established is a potential advantage that other teams cannot match.

It can be said that the subtle conflict between Zidane and Henry is similar to the mutual cancellation of the dual virtues of England's midfielders in the original history, except that Zidane is a midfielder and Henry is a striker. This effect will not be like the two midfielders. It is so obvious and strong in a local area.

Stella Marcioni put a question mark in front of Pires.

Pirres is famous in football as a right-footed player who plays on the left. He played for Millwall and Arsenal for a total of ten years. He has been playing on the left. Suddenly he switched to the right. I think he can play. It will be greatly discounted, cut inside, he will be very used to it on the left, but his power will decrease on the right, and he himself should be very awkward. This is not the way of playing at Arsenal for a long time. Therefore, Pires’ threat on this side, I think it can be a question mark. He also lacks strong support in the backcourt from the side. What we should worry about is the first. The first focus of our defense is our right flank. At the same time, we should be wary of Vieira's back penetration, creating unexpected threats in the blank area of ​​the midfield !

Stramaccioni drew a circle on the relatively obvious blank area behind Trezeguet.

Aldrich nodded again.

Stella Maggioni's analysis was very reasonable. In a few simple words, the main defensive focus of the England team's first game and the main area to cut off the opponent's offensive threat were planned.

Strong teams all defend in zones, and man-to-man defense is a matter of detail, and that is not Stella Maggioni's main research work.

Seeing Stella Maggioni talking with ease, Aldrich was quite relieved. Compared with two seasons ago when he studied his opponents in a rigid and similar statistical way, now Stella Maggioni is obviously mature. I have learned a lot, and the growth rate is faster than Aldridge expected. The advantage is that it makes Aldridge more relaxed. (to be continued) ()
