The Young Lion

Munich Olympic Stadium.

Players from England and Germany stood in formation in the player tunnel and prepared to go on the field.

Schneider, who was the starter for Germany, chatted casually with Southgate, and suddenly saw someone coming from behind, Schneider's expression became very exciting.

He opened his mouth to say hello, then quickly closed his mouth with a sullen face, his eyes should not be looking where.

That's right, the person who came from behind was the head of his club: Aldridge. Fiction novel chapters are updated the fastest

At this moment, Schneider finally realized Ronaldinho's private emotion when he returned to the team after the friendly match between Brazil and England at Wembley last year: That game was so fucking weird!

The mood is extremely complicated.

Schneider has absolutely no way of facing Aldridge.

The master-student friendship of more than seven years, but now they have to meet swordsmen!

Aldridge walked between the players of the two teams with a calm expression, but he patted Ballack on the shoulder as he passed by, and said: Play the game well.

When passing by Schneider, the players of the England team couldn't help but giggle.

It seemed that Aldrich was encouraging his opponent, but at this moment Ballack and Schneider looked at each other and smiled, their expressions were so weird that they were a little funny.

Does this count as disturbing the opponent's morale?

Real Madrid bought Zidane in the summer, and Ballack returned to Germany and directly joined Bayern Munich to succeed the 33-year-old Effenberg.

Aldridge walked into the stadium, and there were many England fans in the stands. They waved the cross flag symbolizing England, creating a cheering atmosphere before the game started.

Germany coach Vöhler came to shake hands with Aldrich, and after a brief greeting, they returned to their respective places.

Wöhler is a legendary football player in Germany. The pinnacle was the World Cup in 1990. Ego and Rijkaard died together. In the final finals, diving points helped Germany become the king of the world.

After retiring, he has been the manager of the Leverkusen club since 1996. In October last year, Leverkusen coach Daum was fired due to a drug scandal. Völler took over the post of Leverkusen coach in less than half a month Afterwards, the German national team appointed Wöhler as the coach of the national team, and Vogts took over Wöhler's class at Leverkusen.

this series of operations. It's more like the German Football Association seconded Völler from Leverkusen.

Völler has a strong Leverkusen background, and therefore, the national team under his rule is also full of Leverkusen genes.

A focus battle in Group I of the world preliminaries is about to begin. Germany sits at the Olympic Stadium in Munich to face the visiting England team. Both teams have finished six rounds. Germany has 14 points and England has 13 points. This game is extremely likely to decide who will advance directly In the World Cup finals, who is going to play the play-offs? The last game of the German team is against Albania. The situation, as long as this game does not lose. They can basically lock the top spot in the group and advance. The last game of the England team is against Greece , If you lose today, you will definitely not be able to win the first place in the group. If it is a draw, there is still a faint hope of grabbing the first place in the group. Let's take a look at the starting lineup and playing lineup of both sides.

The England team lined up a 4321 formation.

Goalkeeper: Seaman.

Defenders: Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfield: Beckham, Butt, Lampard, Scholes, McManaman.

Forward: Irving.

This lineup was determined after Hall took office. So far, the performance has won four consecutive world preliminaries, with amazing firepower and solid defense. But as Hall said in yesterday’s interview, England’s four world preliminaries have not been played. gone through testing.

Germany play their traditional 352 formation.

Goalkeeper: Kahn.

Defenders: Link, Nowotny, Warnes.

Midfielders: Schneider, Ballack, Hamann, Deisler, Berme.

Forwards: Janker, Neuville.

There are 7 people who participated in the victory over England at Wembley last year. Back home today, the performance of the German team is still worth looking forward to.

Aldridge glanced at the starting lineup of the German team, and it gave people the impression that it was very silky.

Sauer and Jeremiah were all absent due to injuries, and the older generation of German heroes also had a glorious curtain call. The current generation is indeed in short supply.

Kahn, Link, Ballack, Schneider, Harman, perhaps they are still familiar faces in the top arena.

The others all play for Leverkusen, Schalke 04, Hertha Berlin and other German teams that don't have much competitiveness in Europe.

If it weren't for the influence of Aldrich's butterfly team, this national team lineup would be half a set of Leverkusen's main lineup. In the original history, Ballack and Schneider were Leverkusen's main lineup at this time, and Leverkusen Cousen has also reached the final of the Champions League in the European War this season. Unfortunately, now, after the lack of important stars such as Bout, Ballack and Schneider, Leverkusen's future in the Champions League is not optimistic, and the competitiveness is also strong. limited.

If we really want to compare the strength of the lineup, Aldrich believes that the strength of England's lineup today is slightly stronger than that of the German team, but not too much higher. After all, there are Bart, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Ferdinand, etc. Even though they have potential and their strength has reached a certain level, players who have not yet had a stable performance on the club's top stage are holding back.

At the beginning of the game, Aldrich saw that the German team's offensive desire was very strong, and the formation was pressing forward. Although it was not too aggressive, the posture it assumed was obvious: mainly attacking.

Just think about it.

Aldridge led the England team, but abused food and abused the limelight. In the eyes of top teams, this is nothing at all.

Just like Arsenal slaughtered Middlesbrough and Aston Villa with four goals, ask Manchester United and Millwall how they feel? There is only one answer: stay where it is cool!

You can't become a god if you abuse vegetables.

In terms of history, the German team is a street away from England, and in terms of battle records. Last year, it was impressive at Wembley and kicked out the coach of the England national team. If you want to say that the England team that has won four consecutive victories today, the German team Will be heartbroken, isn't this a joke? !

The England team played 4321, focusing on anti-reverse, which is a cowardly performance in the eyes of the Germans. Afraid of being scored by the German team.

A start. Ballack passed a short half-high ball from the left in front of the penalty area. What I was looking for was the top of Yankel's head.

Jankel won the battle with Ferdinand, and he consciously headed the ball to his striker partner Neuville, who was going forward. As long as he got the ball and rushed forward, it would be a single goal.

But after Neuville stopped the ball in the chest, someone in front of him immediately broke the ball out of the sideline.

This is what Southgate did. Ferdinand blocked it head-on. Southgate observed the situation and predicted the opponent's coordination routine. Make the final critical intercept.

He bravely cleared the ball out of Neuville's face, then pointed at Bart and yelled, The guy who comes in behind the opponent.

Then he confessed a few words with Neville and Cole to fill in at any time.

Germany's high center forward Jankel has super physical fitness. I am not afraid that he will directly threaten the goal. I am afraid that he will cover the ball for his teammates. It's a shame, and it belongs to personal ability.

The German team continued to attack with a sideline kick, and Bomei handed the ball to Deisler, who played the midfielder today. Ballack has started running, ready to find space for a long shot. But Deisler lost the ball under the defense of Beckham and Bart!

Deisler is depressed, this group of engineers in England!

After stealing the ball, Butt passed it straight forward to Scholes. Scholes, who had his back to the frontcourt, did not turn around, but kicked the ball to the right midfield area.

There, there was no one there.

This is exactly the beauty of Scholes passing the ball, giving Neville the lead to quickly plug in.

When Gary Neville advanced quickly, Barack also returned to the defense all the way. He consciously observed Beckham's running position, and he believed that the cooperation between Neville and Beckham was the source of the threat of attacking from the right.

But in the middle of the run, Ballack was surprised to find that Beckham stopped in the midfield area and no longer stepped forward!

Neville instead took the ball all the way forward.

Bome, who was defending on this side, went to serve a sideline ball just now, but was suddenly counterattacked by the England team. He chased all the way from behind and caught up with Neville when he was almost in the penalty area. At this time, Harman also came to make up for it. Assisted defense.

Neville saw a cross in the air, Scholes took the ball forward and crossed Nowotny's defense diagonally. After entering the area on the right side of the penalty area, Scholes suddenly made another pass The ball hits the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Irving snatched Vaughans away from the front, and McManaman ran to the front of the penalty area to meet him. Seeing that he had a long-range shot, he was followed by Schneider, and Ballack was only two steps behind him. Can disrupt or disrupt an attack on him.

McManaman gently pushed the ball to the right, and then quickly moved forward to the left rib of the penalty area. Schneider was still with him, and the rest of the work was left to Ballack.

But Ballack didn't expect the opponent to throw the ball like this. There was no one in that direction. He was about to turn to chase the ball when someone rushed past him.

Lampard!

Ballack flew to tackle the ball, trying to destroy the ball. Lampard took the ball forward one step faster than him, and then took advantage of the momentum to blast the goal with a heavy kick.

Kahn reacted quickly, blocked the near corner of the goal and fell to the ground to save. His hand touched the ball, but it was still only 0.01 seconds slower. The ball seemed to be pressed by his palm, bounced and rushed into the goal.

England scored a goal! In the first 2 minutes, England took the lead in the away game! Exquisite counter-attack coordination, fascinating sudu enjoyment, England ran at full speed like a lion to catch the prey, without the slightest stagnation And hesitation, like a hurricane passing by, destroyed the gate of the German team! McManaman assisted, young Lampard scored, Scholes and Neville also contributed a lot! England took the lead! Overtaken in the standings The German team! Overtook the German team!

Lampard's expression remained grim after seeing the goal. He turned around Nowotny and rushed all the way to the corner flag area before stopping, with an excited smile on his face.

All the other teammates rushed towards him, throwing their fists in celebration on this piece of German land, roaring wantonly!

The German team suffered a blitz and conceded the ball in the opening game. The German fans in the stadium felt like a bolt from the blue. It was unbelievable. England's counterattack was overwhelming. In my impression, England is not this way!

The England fans went into a frenzy, waving cross flags and shouting excitedly.

Schneider walked up to Ballack and whispered: We don't have positive Indian full-backs. If a defensive midfielder goes to help defend the wing, the center will be empty if it is counterattacked. Boss, uh, you also understand the tactical thinking of the England coach. Some, right?

Ballack nodded. He has played under Aldridge for a short period of time. For four full years, it can be said that Millwall played counterattacks at the beginning, and the counterattacks were mainly tactics, not highlighting individual players. Ability, the important thing is to quickly shift the opponent's defensive center of gravity and seize the gap when the opponent's defense adjusts.

Schneider's words actually asked Ballack to either communicate with Harman, or Ballack himself strengthened the protection in front of the penalty area. Once he was counterattacked, the three central defenders divided up to defend the side, and the midfielder had to quickly retreat to the penalty area.

Aldrich saw that his expression didn't change a bit, but he thought in his heart: England came to the German territory today to play wild! (to be continued...) ()
