The Young Lion

PS:

The shape of the European MVP award is very strange. Ronaldo didn't cry this time, and Robben smiled a bit bitterly.

Thanks to Thieves and Genius 00 for their rewards!

-------------------------

England's goal was like a lake of cold water falling from the sky, extinguishing the enthusiasm of all the Greeks in the Athens stadium!

In this country where democracy originated, the Greeks who cared about the national team football smelled the breath of death. watermark ad test watermark ad test

The atmosphere of the whole stadium became oppressive, and even the England fans who came from afar to cheer for the Three Lions couldn't reverse it. They jumped and jumped in the stands and cheered to celebrate the team's goal.

Yes, there are 8 games in the world preliminaries, this is only the fourth game, but if Greece loses this game, they only have 1 point, they want to win the next four games and finally score 13 points to fight for a play-off Opportunities are not impossible in terms of probability, but will Finland, Germany, and England give them such opportunities?

This is the first decisive battle for Greece to enter the World Cup. If you win, you can look forward to it. If you lose, bye.

After Aldridge celebrated the goal, he gestured to the players, signaling them not to relax. Next, Greece will definitely have to fight to the death.

Unlike handing Bart a small note to remind him, Aldridge can’t yell at the sidelines or use body language to remind Bart, but he can rest assured that he can make gestures that the whole team can understand. Worrying about players not being able to understand.

About 4,000 England fans in the stands were all smiles, talking about the goal just now.

Mica's breakthrough was really beautiful, and the opponent's defender seemed to be fixed there by a spell.

Hey, if he hadn't left Liverpool and teamed up with Irving now, maybe Liverpool would have been able to compete for the Premier League title.

Liverpool? Don't think about it. Look at the lineup configuration of Manchester United and Millwall, Liverpool are at least a notch behind.

Hey, Liverpool? Is it just a difference in quality of players? Come to think of it, Millwall has Hall. That's the biggest difference! Look. Hall has only been in office for half a year, how good England is. The defense is not only calm, The offense is also well-organized, Micah was rejuvenated under Hall, and Hoddle and Keegan couldn't use him well.

Pity.

If only Hall had taken over the national team a year ago, we would not have been out of the group in the European Cup in disgrace, it's annoying to think about it!

Stop complaining. It has nothing to do with Hall. He is the owner of Millwall. If he says he will take over the national team, he will take over? The FA probably didn't agree a year ago.

Hmph, the Football Association is full of moths...

When it was a draw. Both sides have psychological scruples. After all, failure is unbearable, but now the side that has been scored has no way out, Greece. If you don't fight to the death, you can only wait to die. The dream of qualifying for the World Cup is the same as the past few World Cups, you can only be a spectator!

Aldridge's restless heart at the beginning finally calmed down.

Not only because the score is leading, the score is only 1:0, which is still 2 points away from securing the victory. In football circles, it is not uncommon for games where two goals are equalized, but it is not common for games with a lead of three goals to be equalized or reversed. , Therefore, to seal the victory, it is often a difference of three goals, not two goals. Of course, this is also related to the time period. If there are 10 minutes left in the game, the difference of two goals can also seal the victory.

The biggest reason for Aldrich's confidence in winning is: the situation!

Greece has to attack, if it doesn't attack, it will die!

But for England's current technical and tactical style of play, it is in the middle of the game, and the opponent dares to attack, so that more lives will be exposed!

The confident Aldridge stands on the sidelines, pointing out the direction for the backcourt players to take the ball or run forward from time to time. He has an overview of the overall situation, and naturally has a faster insight into the situation than the players on the field, knowing where there is space and where is the most suitable place to go forward. Threat, but it is impossible for him to command every player, the focus is on the side in front of him, Beckham and Neville.

This scene was captured by the live camera, and the commentator in England was dumbfounded.

Manchester United and Millwall are inseparable in the Premier League. Now, Millwall's coach is directing Manchester United's players to attack the city.

Is this a ridiculous and funny scene, or will it be passed down as a good story in the future?

For the glory of England, will Manchester United and Millwall match up?

The game time is still long, Greece wants to counterattack but will not be too aggressive, and it is still not impatient.

The first half of the game ended with a burst of exclamation at the Athens Stadium.

Lampard hit the crossbar with a long shot from outside the penalty area and flew out of the bottom line. Before he had time to regret, the referee blew his whistle.

The two teams walked back to the dressing room, with England leading by one goal.

After Aldridge entered the locker room, his expression was indifferent, just as he said before the expedition: winning Greece is just because of your normal performance.

What's more, the final result of the game has not yet come out, so he has no reason to be happy, and the players shouldn't be flattered about taking the lead.

He emphasized tactics again in the locker room, without making any adjustments, but let Bart, Beckham, and Lampard understand the essence of the three midfielder system, clarify their responsibilities, must attack when it is time to attack, and Bart's coverage should also be expanded. When the team is attacking, it provides protection and solves the worries of teammates.

The national team is now thriving, the internal atmosphere is harmonious, and the team is united. They all want to prove themselves with their records.

No one wants to wear the national team jersey and be sprayed bloody by fans in China.

Maybe not all players have a very lofty ideological consciousness, but they will have a sense of mission and responsibility when wearing this jersey.

When Aldrich spoke, everyone listened attentively, and many people nodded frequently to express their understanding.

In the end, Aldrich said with a cold expression: I told you half a year ago that our current style of play is not afraid of the opponent's attack. It can be said that we have more opportunities because of the opponent's attack. Remember, The advancement of positional warfare is not what we are good at. After the opponent has set up a tight line of defense, we don’t have many ways to break the goal. What we need to catch is the opponent’s adjustment loopholes when the offense and defense switch! As long as we continue to fight like this, the game , we will definitely win!

Of course. We will definitely win!

Southgate stood up and shouted loudly.

Guys, come on in the second half and score a few more goals!

Beckham also stood up to boost team morale.

Three and a half games, Aldridge has begun to instill confidence in them. The basis for the team to reach an ideological consensus is their conviction: We are on the right path!

football arena. There are thousands of changes and countless victories. But the same goal by different routes, as long as you can win, it is correct.

Walking back to the sidelines in the second half, Aldridge still looked serious.

This game is critical. In other words, due to the disadvantages brought about by the two matches of England's World Cup preliminaries, each of the qualifiers led by Aldridge was extremely critical.

England not only wants to qualify, but also wants to fight for the top spot and directly advance to the finals. It's not that the play-offs are not good, but the play-offs are too dangerous, no matter which second place in other groups. It will be two vicious battles where the outcome is unpredictable. After all, the value is too great. Whether you advance or not can even affect the short-term economic trend of a country. Especially for England, the economic loss caused by the absence of the European Cup in 2008 in history is conservatively estimated to exceed 2 billion pounds. The key to this point is the normal psychology of the British people to feel good about themselves, which directly affects labor productivity.

So Aldrich not only took over a national team with a dispirited army and a sluggish record, but also the challenge before him is to climb up step by step and step on the opponents in the same group one by one!

Greece is the first one. Today is a life-and-death battle between the two teams. England will kick out a competitor first. It sounds exaggerated. Now Greece is also worthy of being England's competitor? That's right, that's the situation in the standings. England is third and Greece is fourth. The difference between the two teams is only 3 points.

As soon as the second half of the game came up, Greece launched a fast break. The enthusiasm of their players has increased significantly. It seems that Greece has reached the time when it has to work hard! England's defense is very layered. Southgate stepped forward to intercept and was beaten behind. Ash Leigh Cole successfully steals the ball, good ball! Greece returns without success.

The Greek players seemed to have turned into ferocious beasts. Not only did they spare no effort to run on the field, but they also used both hands and feet in defense. They used tactical fouls from England's backcourt to restrict them from launching fast breaks.

Aldrich watched Greece play a wave of suppressing frenzy without being moved at all. This scene is very familiar. Not long ago, in the Champions League, Milan also fought like this after falling behind by a goal at the Lion King Stadium. , and Millwall, who eventually became a beast trainer, resisted the counterattack after successfully resisting, and the opponent was hard to parry.

Greece's strong attack lasted about 6 or 7 minutes, and then, in need of breathing space, England began to burst into glory.

Greece's offense can only hover outside England's penalty area. No matter how patient the organization is, they will be forced to lose the ball. The penetrating ball cannot be accurately delivered to the striker's feet, while England's offense advances from the midfield. Every time, it can play very intuitively. threaten.

McManaman left and right made Greece hard to defend against. Scholes' series attack was not sloppy. Owen's movement on the front line involved looking for opportunities and made the opponent's defense dare not neglect. Greece can only rely on the number of defenders. To make up for the weakness of one-on-one defensive ability.

England played three consecutive offenses and failed to score. Aldridge gestured to McManaman, telling the opponent to use the depth to bring the opponent's defense to the bottom line!

McManaman gladly took the order, and after dribbling the ball from the side, he was determined to go to the bottom, and the Greek defense could only retreat to guard the key area.

In this way, Greece counterattacked forward, the offensive line retreated deeper, and the distance of advancing forward became longer. Most importantly, they attacked and returned to defense, and the distance between back and forth was virtually lengthened.

After another six minutes, Greece obviously couldn't keep up with the defense after a setback in an attack. The front line from head to tail was stretched too long, and a lot of space was exposed in the midfield.

McManaman dribbled the ball to the bottom, led the opponent's defense line to move towards the goal, and then stopped the ball near the bottom line to pass back. Ashley Cole, who followed up, crossed the ball non-stop and went to the other side. side.

Beckham, who was unmarked, stepped in to stop the ball and adjusted his pace. It looked more like he was taking a direct free kick. There was no block in front of him. The opponent's defenders were like a well-formed wall, and he swiped with his left arm A week's trajectory, body leaning, golden right foot shot!

The ball flew into the air without any sense of lightness, and it spun through the air with a rapid arc, which was both pleasing to the eye from the arc and visual impact from the speed.

The Greek goalkeeper did not move.

He thinks like most people.

This ball will go out of bounds!

Indeed, judging from the predicted trajectory of the ball flying halfway, it is definitely out of bounds!

However, under the guidance of the rapidly rotating arc, the ball followed a banana arc trajectory, as if being manipulated by someone, and flew around the goal from the outside.

Ding

A small part of the ball bounced into the goal against the inside of the goal post.

blind spot.

The goalkeeper was helpless.

If you encounter this kind of ball, you can only consider yourself unlucky!

The Athens stadium was silent.

The corner of Beckham's mouth was raised, and his charming smile was like the goal he had just completed, captivating all beings!
