The Young Lion

Although this is not a tactical style tit-for-tat contest.

The Greek team is extremely defensive, but the England team is not crazy offensive!

Aldrich and Rehhagel both understood.

The tactical confrontation of this game is the starting point for laying the overall trend.

This is a confrontation of tactical discipline and psychological quality.

The Greek team absolutely obeys Rehhagel's tactical arrangement. If England loses to the Greek team on this point, it is possible that any other efforts will be in vain.

At the same time, it is also an invisible psychological warfare.

Compete with the psychological quality of both sides.

Whoever loses his composure and composure under the pressure first will lose control of the game.

The Greek team will be steadfast in its counter-defense and will always play with just a few players without leaving deadly gaps in the defense.

Before the counterattack, there is still a foreshadowing.

That is to use their tenacious and solid defense to shape the game situation!

Superficially speaking, both England and Greece are using control to seduce and tease their opponents, causing them to lose their cool.

England's seduction is in the frontcourt. They frequently pass crosses and control the ball. In this process, it is to lure the Greek team. When they do not get the ball for a long time, will the Greek team lose their composure and collapse under pressure? At some point, a player jumps up and leaves the tight defense open for England to exploit?

The seduction of the Greek team is that after the successful defense, they will not rush into the attack immediately when they switch from defense to offense. On the back line, they have a numerical advantage, and they can also pass the ball to each other to seduce the opponent to counter-grab, and at the same time give participation The time for the counter-attacking teammate to move, run out of space, and all positions of the offensive system are ready. Then, at this time, if the opponent loses his composure and frantically counterattacks in the frontcourt, their counterattack will be launched quickly. The wind usually passes through the midfield and is advancing Let the opponent panic in the process, and then the soldiers are at the gates!

It is not only a test of the psychological quality of the two teams, but also the execution of tactics and discipline.

Everyone, don't stand up!

The attitude of the England team looks extremely oppressive and aggressive in the situation of the scene.

Their player base is stronger, there is no doubt about it.

When the England team retreated 20 yards and waited for the Greek team to attack in the midfield, Rehhagel was no longer surprised, but shocked!

The Greek team can only fight back!

In positional warfare, they will never create good opportunities.

First of all, the creativity of the organization core is limited, and secondly, the ability of individual players to attack cannot be counted on. In order to protect the defense, the advanced positional attack requires more forward running positions of teammates to create opportunities for passing and cutting. The Greek team is not playing this way.

So their offense died after only passing the midfield.

Gary Neville defended successfully, and the England team rallied and returned to the rhythm of organizing the attack before.

Short passes, lateral transfers, and occasionally steady forwards to intimidate the opponent's defense line. When the shooting angle is exposed in front of the penalty area and a teammate can take a long shot, they will take a long shot. Although it is outside the penalty area, they have repeatedly shot Long shot threat!

Aldridge supervised the battle on the sidelines with a calm face.

He is quite content with England today, for now.

People in the world often say flaws can't hide their strengths. This word is absolutely hated by head coaches in the field of football.

Flaws are flaws, and they must be corrected in time, and they cannot be ignored just because the results are good.

England qualified ahead of the group stage. Before that, Aldridge lost his temper. The England team has come to the knockout stage. Aldridge is satisfied with the professionalism shown by the whole team.

They firmly implemented Aldridge's tactical arrangements, without any slack, and perfectly controlled the game!

Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

Because the Greek team's offense can't advance to the England team's midfielder area at all!

They will always be sniped strongly by England in the midfield area.

The England team has a numerical advantage in the midfield, and the offensive and defensive density is amazing!

Both teams must be apprehensive.

The England team did not dare to force the striker, and the Greek team did not dare to invest more troops in offense.

But in a situation like this, England would have the advantage.

Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, not Beckham, just these three.

The long-range shooting ability is the first-class level in European football!

This is England's advantage.

England will not attack the Greek team's penalty area by force, but will fall in the midfield, consume the opponent, tear the opponent's midfield line, come out in the open, and shoot from a long distance!

As time goes on, the further back, the England team has a second advantage that will be activated.

Set the ball!

The England team is accumulating advantages, oppressing the opponent psychologically, and causing the opponent to panic. When the opponent is consumed to a certain extent and the transfer frequency cannot keep up with England, fouls are bound to be taken. At that time, Beckham's golden right foot will be there Useful!

Three treasures for breaking dense defenses, long shots, set balls, and personal breakthroughs.

England is not good at personal breakthroughs, so just don't!

The game lasted nearly 20 minutes, they shot 6 long shots, 4 hit the goal, the first goal in the penalty area: 0, personal breakthrough: 0.

The ball possession rate should set a record in the European Cup!

close to 80!

The number of passes, if this rhythm continues, should also set a record!

The Greek team wants to hold England back so that the two sides are at the same level, but looking at it now, who is holding whom?

The offensive ability of the Greek team is actually very average, focusing on efficiency and relying on counterattacks.

In the 270 minutes of their 3 games in the group stage, they only had 30 shots and 10 shots hit the goal.

In other words, it took an average of 9 minutes for them to create a shot, and an average of 27 minutes for them to have a shot that hit the opponent's goal.

And this data was raised in the battle with Russia, because in that 90-minute game, Russia was not strong, and they shot 12 shots.

Lei Hagel was still calm on the surface, but his heart trembled with despair.

If England is playing at this rhythm for 90 minutes or even 120 minutes, the Greek team can only rely on luck if they want to beat England!

If luck is on them, England's threatening long-range shots all come back in vain!

Even after the game, there will be no obvious difference in physical fitness between the two sides. Not to mention that the England team is waiting for work, and the travel is also superior to the Greek team. The current style of play is obviously more expensive than the Greek team. Even if the Greek team can have two or three players Cooperating with the offense to hit the deep area of ​​the frontcourt, forcing the England team to retreat and shuttle vertically in a wide range. In that case, everyone's physical consumption may not widen the gap, because Greece's offense can also achieve the purpose of consuming the opponent.

However, Aldridge's defensive layout today is interlocking.

Terry lags behind and Campbell heads forward. Hargreaves will adapt according to the direction of Greece's offensive center of gravity. Even if the Greek team goes wide, at most two players can pass at the same time. With Hargreaves, the Greek team did not have a clear advantage in the speed competition. The England full-backs did not press forward, defended frontally, and kept an eye on the space behind them. They chased back to curb Greece's penetration and throughs were very successful!

Greece has a small offensive force, and the center of defense is in the penalty area. The England team not only completely occupies the midfield offensive and defensive advantages, but also controls the situation to consume the Greek team.

To say that the most relaxed person in the England team must be the goalkeeper Robinson. He played 30 minutes in the first half, not to mention the test of the opponent's shots.

Owen also disappeared from the view of the audience in front of the TV. However, Owen's existence made the Greek team's defense line must stay in the penalty area!

The Greek team blocked Irving with sweepers, double guards, and triangle positions. The Greek team dared not change this defensive system.

3 against 1 sounds exaggerated, but it is not.

First of all, 1 vs. 1 is definitely unavoidable, but what about 2 against 1? Maybe it can, maybe it can't, after all, the Greek team's defenders are not top-notch in Europe, and secondly, remove one player to strengthen the interception or control of the midfield. Then, the England team's central midfielder, no matter Gerrard or Lampard, Even Scholes, the Greek team may be in danger in the penalty area.

The truth in football is simple, the closer you are to the goal, the greater the threat.

This is why England has long had a style of long pass, which is to pursue the fastest attack to create opportunities in the most threatening area.

Therefore, Portugal and Spain did not take advantage of Greece. The big reason is that they are always eager to attack in the most threatening area, which is the Greek team's penalty area, and there happens to be the most solid defensive area of ​​the Greek team. zone!

Portugal does not have a top center forward, while Spain has a weak forward. When the offense is repeatedly frustrated, it is inevitable that they will lose their psychological balance, or they will go crazy into the offense and expose the gap in the backcourt.

England not only exploited its strengths and avoided its weaknesses today, but also avoided the advantages of the Greek team at a tactical height.

Repeated long-range shots and hits within the goal range will inevitably make the Greek team nervous, but they have nothing to do.

In dealing with Greece's strategy, Aldrich made the Greek team completely lose hope of beating England today!

boom!

The audience at the Albadella Stadium exclaimed.

Scholes walked back with his head in his hands, shaking his head and letting out a sigh.

His shot shocked the Greek team into a cold sweat. It was a very high-quality long-range shot, but because of a little luck, it bounced off the crossbar!

The first half ended after Scholes hit the crossbar with a long-range shot. The referee did not give stoppage time because the game went very smoothly.

When the whistle sounded, Aldridge turned around and walked towards the player tunnel with his usual expression, while Rehhagel seemed preoccupied, looking at Aldridge's back, the feeling of powerlessness in his heart was very obvious.

At the end of the first half, England and Greece temporarily drew 0-0. It could be a very boring first half, neither team created obvious chances, and the goal in the penalty area was zero. But there is one The technical statistic that surprised us is worth mentioning, England completed 12 shots in the first half, and 7 shots were on goal! This statistic alone has surpassed Portugal and Spain in the whole game against Greece. According to the data, in the 90 minutes of the game, Spain, like Portugal, only completed 11 shots in front of the Greek team, and only 2 shots hit the goal. England, fans who may not watch the live broadcast of the game, will feel that England The team played very fiercely, but on the contrary, the England team did not send a pass into the penalty area! This is really an unbelievable game, what is Sir Hall thinking? r1152 ()
