The Young Lion

At the post-match press conference, Aldrich just sat down on the stage, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird. Many reporters had playful expressions, and there was a sense of premeditated prank.

When the questioning began, Aldridge was asked a question that made him dazed.

Mr Hall, in the 67th minute of the second half, when you replaced Owen and Beckham with Gerrard and Huskey, why didn't you go back to your seat? Instead, you stood on the sidelines and put your hands behind your back .”

Aldridge froze.

What kind of problem is this?

Does it make sense?

When he saw many reporters in the audience showing suppressed smiles, he suddenly realized.

Ganqing's action of rubbing his palms during the game was discovered.

Aldridge rubbed his forehead and chuckled.

Since this matter has been asked, he can only tell the truth. After all, he is in the spotlight, and integrity is related to his own reputation.

Just like the sex-scandal between US President Clinton and Lewinsky, the scandal is a moral criticism, but when questioned in Congress, Clinton’s denial turned into a crisis of trust. No one is perfect, and it’s normal to make mistakes, but you can lie Sometimes it's more serious than a few mistakes and losing the trust of others.

Aldridge said with a smile: Beckham and Irving may be a little dissatisfied when the two bad boys are off, so they sent their anger on me. They seemed to have a fight with me, and my palm was hurt. It hurts, I put my hand behind my back and rub it, uh, is it normal?

Hahaha

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

But a question immediately asked by a reporter stopped the laughter.

Mr Hall, you're saying that Beckham and Owen are mad at you for the change. Is that right? Owen wants to score more goals. Beckham also wants to play the whole game. Right? The contradiction , how will you solve it?

Aldrich's expression froze, and the other reporters in the audience stopped laughing, and turned to look at the strange female reporter, probably a newcomer from some media.

These qualified reporters watched the game live and knew what happened in the game. They all knew that Aldridge was just joking.

Aldrich's witty speech style in the interview,

It has always been a favorite of journalists. Make the atmosphere light-hearted and less confrontational.

People are kidding, you take it seriously!

This time, on the contrary, Aldridge choked with a helpless expression, and really didn't know how to answer.

Heh, the others were surprised. This female reporter who didn't know how to play the ball hit the right side, which made them see an interesting scene.

They stared at Aldridge with a playful smile, to see how he would answer.

When I replaced them, the score was already 5:0. Why do we have conflicts? There is no conflict.

But you just said that they hit you hard, you are not satisfied. Maybe it is true. Owen has scored four goals. Maybe he can record more goals in a single game.

Why do you want Owen to be such a selfish player? We are a team, a collective, he needs to contribute to the team, not just scoring goals, we need to train substitute players, we need to have more choices, the England national team is A team of over 20 players, you can't see that, don't ask such stupid questions! Nonsensical!

Aldrich responded fiercely to the reporter, and the press officer also canceled the female reporter's right to speak out.

The reporters next to her had watched a good show, and they had confirmed in their hearts that this female reporter must have just entered the industry, otherwise, she would not have asked such self-defeating questions.

Coming to the level of the national team, in today's situation, she actually speculated that Owen would have conflicts with the head coach because he wanted to score more goals?

Even if, even if Irving really has such emotions, he will never express it, never, this is to cut off his future in the national team, is the national team a stage for performing alone? Is it where you score goals alone?

Owen needs to rest, and Aldridge is not the only one who knows. When analyzing Owen, the football media in the UK knows how tired he is after a season. After scoring two goals, he was replaced and went to rest, setting a record on Albania, is it awesome? has no meaning?

There is nothing to discuss about switching to Beckham. Beckham started in the last game, and he started today. It’s five games. Come down and rest, enjoy the applause of the fans, and give other teammates a chance to grow. Isn’t that good? ? Does this female reporter have to be happy after playing the entire audience to death?

It seems that she wants the news too much, and she is probably a little nervous. When she heard Aldridge joke that the players were not satisfied, she took it seriously.

The small farce ended, and Aldrich's joyful mood because of the big victory was also discounted.

The reporters in the audience were very happy. Unexpectedly, there was an extra news material.

The press conference is back on track, and the second official question has to do with what happened during the game.

In the first half, you took the initiative to go to the sidelines and called Beckham out. Are you dissatisfied with his performance?.

Not to mention, Aldridge frequently steals the spotlight in a game of dishonesty. It is estimated that he took the initiative to call out his own players to make the non-combat temporary reduction in the field, which can also be spread as a good story.

Aldridge's expression became serious, and he replied in a deep voice: It has nothing to do with him personally, because he is an offensive player and the vice-captain on the field, so I need him to convey my instructions. For a period of time after the opening, England The performance is not good. Although it seems that we have a great advantage on the scene, in fact, this advantage is false, which is not conducive to us creating more threatening scoring opportunities. Therefore, I need the team to make adjustments, and Individual performances are irrelevant, David is fine, the other players are fine, after David passed on my instructions, our attack improved and we scored goals.

After England's friendly victory over Spain a few days ago, there were many voices criticizing the England national team for giving up the traditional wing attack. In today's game, England's attack in the center is obviously more threatening. Does this represent England's traditional two wings? The Qi Fei tactic was abandoned by you. I do not question the correctness of this approach. Just want to know your point of view.

Aldridge shook his head and said: If you only judge the offensive routine by scoring goals, I think it is very one-sided, and we cannot communicate. If you watch the 180 minutes of the two games, you should be able to find that England Did not weaken the offense on the wing, Ashley Cole, Beckham, Neville. The defensive pressure they created on the opponent on the wing is playing a role in creating better scoring opportunities, not simply because The assist of our goal did not come from the wing, so it was judged that the attack from the wing was abandoned. In today's game, Beckham made a beautiful pass from the right side of the front field, which assisted McManaman to score. Before the end, Neville A pass from the wing was cleared by the opponent, and Lampard scored a goal from a long distance in front of the penalty area. Is this giving up the effect that the wing attack can achieve? I am combining England's advantages and making up for the team's disadvantages to create a tactical system When the team's technical and tactical style of play is further mature, I think. No one will say that England has given up the traditional wing attack. It is undoubtedly superficial to draw a conclusion just because I did not arrange a full-back or a winger in my starting lineup. And ignorant.

When Aldridge answered this question, he did not dare to fly with both wings, but attacked from the side.

Because at present, it is indeed difficult for England to fly on both wings, unless Ashley Cole and Beckham attack at the same time, but from the perspective of probability, under the balance of no influence, this situation is only 50% Situations will arise.

And when Neville stepped forward to assist, Lampard also stepped forward, but Lampard moved forward close to the middle.

It can be said that the tactical system created by Aldridge can generate many changes in the offense. The changes are based on the characteristics of the players themselves.

Those who were critical after the Spain game, criticizing England for being too conservative and abandoning the traditional wing attacking style of play, Aldridge dismissed them.

No one stipulates that players who initially stand in the midfielder should stay in the midfielder area for 90 minutes, and no one stipulates that there must be two symmetrical position players when playing on the wing. Many clubs in Italy have unilateral flying wings. Tactics that are popular at a certain time can also be victorious.

England players lack creativity, and Aldridge uses tactics to create creativity. Millwall's offensive that can both oppress and play dazzling and unpredictable is that players are distributed at various points and suddenly change positions during the offense. The impact caused by the conversion is used to tear apart the opponent's defense, but now the England national team has a large area and position in the frontcourt that is blank. During the offensive advancement, the players fill in the position by themselves to form an impact, such as McManaman's The range of activities is wide, and the position and role are constantly changing. He can insert into the penalty area to score goals, or pull out to support. His starting position is indeed the midfielder, but he often does the work of shadow forwards and full-backs in offense.

The same is true for other players. Lampard is a midfielder when defending and a midfielder when attacking. Beckham is also a midfielder when defending and a full-back when attacking.

This design is to guard the middle in the defense, compress the space for the opponent in the dangerous area, and strengthen the connection between the defense lines. When attacking, the players in different positions are distributed in turn to create confusion in the opponent's defense.

Another advantage of this arrangement is that it can maintain the player's impact.

If Beckham is placed on the right side all the time, he goes straight up and down, and the running distance after a game will indeed be 10,000 meters, or even 12,000 meters, but how many times can he sprint?

Take turns, rationally allocate and use physical energy, whether it is rushing up or retreating deeper to defend, your own speed can be more guaranteed.

Aldrich never thought of ending the tradition in England, and creating a new tradition with his own brand. It has never been his pursuit to establish a school. If 442 proves that it cannot be successful, it must be changed, unchanged, just waiting to die, only That's all.

In the end, the reporters congratulated Aldridge for winning the national team's home debut and asked him about his outlook on the European qualifiers for the World Cup in England.

The group stage directly advances to the finals? Of course I have confidence. Without confidence, I can't do a good job. This is my creed in life. But the game has to be played one by one. We have made a good start, and there will be many more in the future. Tough battles are waiting for us. As for the German team in the same group, I don’t care. When the two teams play against each other, we will focus on the German team.

After finishing the press conference, Aldridge declined the reception invitation sent by the chairman of the FA. On his way home, he felt that the job was not as easy as he had imagined.

The pressure has been relieved for the time being, and he has completed the transition period after taking office.

It's just that in previous years, I was used to taking a break and relaxing at this time, but now I continue to work.

There is nothing he can do about exhaustion. The national team game has just ended, and now he has to focus on the Premier League again.

The London Derby is about to start, and the war between him and Wenger once again sounded the horn. (to be continued...)
