The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves 202026 and Seven Times Seven Times for their rewards!

From the beginning of the game, Lampard and Ashley Cole did their own defensive tasks in the midfield and the left side of the midfield respectively. They did not step forward to assist, and Lampard still had support tasks, which was generally relatively leisurely.

When the game is going on, the two must be concentrated. This is only the basic requirement. At the same time, they must think and analyze the frontcourt situation.

When Beckham was on the right, Scholes was on the center, and McManaman was on the left, each attracting more than one defense from the opponent, Lampard realized that Aldridge's pre-match tactical arrangements began to work. .

He waved to Ashley Cole, and Ashley Cole nodded heavily when he saw it.

In an instant, Finland seemed to have found a way to restrain England's offense. Beckham lost the ball under the entanglement of the opponent, and Scholes passed the ball to Owen unsuccessfully. Within 5 minutes, England's offense before the penalty area failed to form twice. Shot chance.

Finland is more determined to this adjusted defensive strategy.

Just when the Finns thought they could sit back and relax, England launched a wave of attacks they didn't expect.

Litmanen received a long pass from the backcourt in the frontcourt, Ferdinand took the lead to clear the siege with a header, Bart controlled the second landing and passed the ball to Scholes who retreated to respond, Jiang turned around with the ball and followed Beckham played a two-for-one cooperation, Finland focused on defending him, and Scholes found that there was not much space in front of him. So he retreated and continued to control the ball.

McManaman moved to the left side of the penalty area. Scholes deliberately made another pass with Beckham. Then quickly passed the ball to McManaman.

When McManaman received the ball, the Finnish players quickly double-teamed him, but McManaman got rid of the space and suddenly knocked the ball to the bottom line of the penalty area on the same side, hitting behind the Finnish back line , Ashley Cole sprinted from the outside line straight to the bottom line, and the timing of the pass and run was just right with McManaman.

The Finnish team didn't expect Ashley Cole to come up suddenly, and he went straight to the bottom line as soon as he came up. It's like entering the land of no one.

Ashley Cole was not in a hurry to make a pass, and quickly dribbled the ball along the baseline towards the goal. The defense of the Finnish team was shocked. Three defensive players rushed towards Ashley Cole from different directions. At the critical moment, Ashley Cole Licole knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area, where the defense was completely empty, and Scholes' forward drive took away the defender.

Lampard slapped the horse and killed it!

Lampard originally wanted to shoot directly from long range,

But he noticed his teammate's running position, so when the Finnish defensive players quickly rushed in his direction. Lampard puts the ball diagonally in front of the right.

Ashley Cole, Lampard. The ball was suddenly transferred twice in a row, and the Finnish defender couldn't keep up.

Beckham scored from the front right of Lampard. After receiving the ball, he was already single-handedly, but he was a little close to the goalkeeper.

The air in Anfield seemed to be stagnant.

Everyone knows how much this game will have a huge impact on the fate of the two teams. A wild goal is worth a thousand dollars.

Beckham doesn't need to show off how gorgeous his golden right foot can shoot a curved ball at this moment. From such a short distance, he volleyed a simple and rough kick vigorously. The Finnish goalkeeper didn't respond. The ball rushed into the upper corner of the goal and hit the top. After landing on the net, it bounced and bounced on the turf inside the door.

Anfield burst out the passion that this stadium should have!

Mountains cheered like a tsunami, countless figures in the stands stood up and waved their arms at the same time, the scene was extremely spectacular!

England scored! David Beckham! It's a goal of gold! This goal puts England temporarily ahead of Finland in the standings, and we have one game less than the other side! Hold this game Victory, England can at least qualify for the play-offs! This goal must praise the performance of Ashley Cole and Lampard. They should have assisted earlier! Ashley Cole swam to the bottom line, Lampard The wonderful pass in front of the penalty area, and finally Beckham made the final decision! I hope England can make persistent efforts.

After Beckham scored a goal, he also ran wildly to celebrate, and came to the corner flag area with open arms and a charming smile on his face.

Other teammates also came to join in the celebration.

Aldridge just applauded on the sidelines and didn't even laugh.

This is a fucking showdown!

He couldn't laugh until the game was over. It has to be said that in the position of coach of the England national team, he was actually walking on thin ice in his heart. It wasn't that he was reluctant to take this position, but that he was always worried that the England team would lose the chain.

To put it bluntly, in fact, he spent a short time with most of the players, and the information he learned was obtained from external observations. He was not as knowledgeable as he was when he coached the club, and he couldn't feel completely at ease.

Playing positional warfare today, Aldrich thought about it. Instead of playing 60 minutes step by step and possibly getting into a stalemate and fighting for his life, it is better to use 30 minutes for tactical cover. After all, positional warfare has a lot of shortcomings and has many advantages. For example, England lacks reliable high center forwards, and Husky is tall and mighty, but his ability to seize opportunities can make Aldridge burst into tears.

So Aldridge can only do a tactical cover without changing the tactical framework.

Beckham and Neville's strong attack on the right, Scholes' frequent forward penetration into the penalty area, and McManaman's threat on the left, if he can score in the first 30 minutes, then it will be regarded as a winning prize, and he cannot score. As long as one or two threats are made, Finland will sound the alarm and tighten restrictions.

From an overall perspective, this is also England's shortcoming. It is because the England national team does not have a player like Ronaldinho who can attract 2 or 3 defensive players from the opponent and pass the ball. to create such an effect.

After the England players celebrated, Aldridge quickly gestured on the sidelines and called Beckham to the front.

Just scored a goal, Beckham was very excited, but saw Aldridge's serious expression. Wake up immediately. Without waiting for Aldridge to speak, he said: Coach, I know what to do next. You said before the game. After leading, we will change back to the tactics we are familiar with.

Aldridge heard what Xiaobei said, so he stopped emphasizing, patted him on the shoulder and said: David, you are the team's vice-captain, you must play a certain leadership role on the field, and lead the team to achieve today's goal. An important victory. If you find that a teammate did not play as agreed before the game, you have to remind the other party, and even strictly demand the other party.”

Beckham nodded heavily, then ran back to the court, and took the initiative to communicate with McManaman and Scholes before kick-off.

In fact, the most important thing is the game posture of the three of them. If they don't take back and return to the original 4321 position, the three lines will easily get out of touch. With Southgate in the back line, Aldridge's sacred decree will definitely be best executed. Lampard is Aldridge's pawn, which is fine.

This conceded goal hit Finland very hard, and the situation changed drastically after this conceded goal.

If Finland loses this game, the qualification for the play-offs will become slim!

Unless England loses two games in a row in the next two games, Finland will still beat Greece. Even if they draw with Greece and England loses two games in a row, they will not be able to get second in the group, because England's goal difference is much higher than them.

The game just got easier.

Finland has to attack, it has to score, and if it doesn't score, it's a dead end.

The England team played 4321 nearly a year after Aldridge's transformation and construction. After the Finnish team attacked, England's unpredictable and crazy counterattack became a huge threat.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Beckham counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt to instigate the offensive. McManaman got the ball and knocked back to Lampard. Lampard passed to Scholes again. The ball was handed over to McManaman, but after a triangle pass, McManaman had turned around and broke through the gap between the opponent's full back and center back.

After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, McManaman made a cross in front of the goal, and Irving pushed the ball from a small angle and sent the ball directly into the net from the near corner of the goal.

2:0! England's beautiful counterattack, Owen completed the last blow, good goal! When the Finnish team started to attack, their defense became wider, and England's counterattack had a wider room to play. It is exactly the situation that the England team hoped to see the most, and now, the England team has got its wish and achieved a two-goal lead!

Aldridge calmed down a lot now, and waved his fist.

Seeing Irving scoring goals, I can't deny that Irving is a top shooter, um, a pure shooter.

For such a pure shooter, counterattack is the most suitable stage to play, and he can give full play to his two biggest advantages in running position and shooting skills.

England 2-0 Finland in the first half.

This has basically established the final result of the game. The Finnish team is limited in strength.

The development of the game in the second half did not escape Aldridge's control.

The Finnish team fought back frantically, but the defense line was flustered by England's counterattacks again and again.

When Scholes scored England's fourth goal in the 73rd minute, the Finnish team accepted the reality and gave up continuing the mad attack.

Aldridge replaced Scholes and Owen and asked them to rest. They will be visiting Germany in a week to avoid their excessive consumption. At the same time, England also focuses on saving energy and slowing down the pace on the court. , Consciously consume game time.

When the game was over, there was thunderous applause at Anfield.

The England team swept Finland 4:0, with 13 points in 6 games, ranking second in the group. There are two games left in the World Preliminaries group stage.

There is good news from another field. The German team was tied by Greece in Athens! In this way, the German team has 14 points in 6 games, 4 wins and 2 draws, and England has 13 points in 6 games, only 1 point behind Germany. In the next game against Germany, if England can win, England will have a chance to directly qualify for next year's World Cup as the No. Germany's last match was against Albania.

The fans and players at the scene learned the result of the match between Greece and Germany at the first time. Everyone was very excited, and the applause of the fans became more enthusiastic.

When Aldridge took over the national team, not only did they rank second to last in the world preliminaries group, but also the morale of the team fell to the bottom. In less than a year, the England team climbed to the second place in the standings with four consecutive victories, killing Greece and At the same time, Finland narrowed the gap with Germany to 1 point, regained control of its own destiny, and whether it can directly qualify for the World Cup finals depends on the next British-German battle in Munich, which will be a battle of revenge for England!

After hearing the news that Germany was tied by Greece, Aldrich was mixed with joy and sorrow.

The good news is that Germany fell, but the bad news is that under the leadership of Rehhagel, Greece is undergoing earth-shaking changes in its technical and tactical styles. England's last game is against Greece, which has no desires and no desires! (to be continued...) ()
