The Young Lion

At the Olympiastadion in Munich, the German fans in the stands were at a loss, as if they couldn't believe the scene in front of them, as if in a dream.

It seems that the German team played very badly today!

And the England team, like a different team, is so vigorous that it is daunting!

The reason is not complicated. The German team was not good at technology during this period. Like Schneider, looking at Europe, he was only a first-class player, but his technical ability was among the best in the German team. The ability to impact world-class players, Deisler has talent and potential, but it has not turned into strength after all. In terms of organization, Ballack has organizational ability, and Deisler also has it. At best, it is only first-class. Ballack is strong in comprehensive Personality, players like Lampard and Gerrard can do everything, but none of them are absolutely top-notch.

England played anti-counterattacks and compressed the space in the backcourt with more defenses than less. The German team could not play exquisite coordination in positional battles, and the organization lacked creativity. Players such as Neuville, Jankel, and Deisler did not have unparalleled teamwork. However, the German team only relies on simple offensive methods, and it is difficult to shake England's defense.

England's offense does not have extraordinary creativity and technical players with a high winning rate alone, but they have an advantage that the German team does not have, or an advantage that the German team gave them: space.

The offensive space is large, and the offensive speed and coordination are relatively easy to play. When the German team's defense line does not have world-class players, their three-back system is full of loopholes.

A saying that future football critics often talk about is: If you want to play a three-back system, you must have three world-class defenders!

Not even one!

Schneider is probably the player in the German team who knows the strength comparison between the two sides in this game best.

The German team played at the back three, at Millwall. Schneider has personally experienced Aldridge's tactical deployment for the three-back system. Milan is sitting on Maldini. A top defender like Costacurta was still battered by Millwall.

Knowing that the German team is the main attacker, he must press up to attack as a wide player, otherwise, the right side of the German team will be completely paralyzed, but the space behind him, the line of defense, is really frightening.

The 44th minute of the first half. Deisler took the ball with his back in the front midfielder position, Bart defended, Deisler couldn't form a turn, saw Beckham sticking to Ballack, Neville sealed Bomei's side, Deisler passed the ball in a hurry On Schneider's side.

Schneider screamed in his heart, and accelerated to get the ball. Deisler's pass was seen through at a glance. Lampard was in a better position, and he took the first step to steal the ball in front of Schneider.

Schneider had just stopped the car when Lampard passed the ball behind him.

Ashley Cole jumps in. The wing launched a counterattack!

Schneider chased back and shouted at Ballack: Follow Beckham!

As long as Ballack stays with Beckham, Schneider chases Ashley Cole, Hamann keeps a close eye on Scholes, three backs defend McManaman and Owen, 3 defenses 2, no problem, right? ! ?

In the process of chasing Ashley Cole, Schneider found that Link moved to the full-back area to intercept Ashley Cole, and Schneider rushed directly to the left side of the penalty area to make up for it. There will be space inside. If he chases Cole, he might not be able to form an interception with Link before and after. Instead, Cole will go straight into the space. But if he goes to fill the space, there is a certain chance that Cole's ground pass will be interrupted halfway. ball.

However, Ashley Cole chose to cross from a 45-degree position on the wing, and did not give Link a chance to defend one-on-one.

Scholes, Owen, and McManaman lined up and entered the penalty area in parallel. Ashley Cole's cross was absolutely superb!

The landing point is behind the back line, but there is a certain distance from the goalkeeper. It is most suitable for offensive players to sprint forward to grab points and outflank.

The German team's defense quickly retreated, and Harman even turned around and chased back. At the critical moment, Kahn's prediction was accurate, and he left the goal!

If he doesn't come out, Irving in the middle may get another chance to shoot.

But Kahn was far away from the landing point. After he rushed out, he jumped forward and punched the ball at the limit distance to clear the ball out of the penalty area.

The ball that flew out of the penalty area flew over Ballack's head, and he screamed in his heart.

A few seconds ago, Schneider's yelling to him seemed to reappear in his ears.

Follow Beckham!

After halftime, he followed Beckham all the time, but when Ashley Cole made a pass, he rushed directly to the top of the penalty area, just worried that the England striker would return the ball, in case Scholes Pull it out again, and the area is undefended!

Beckham, lost track!

Ballack looked back, just as Beckham had stopped the ball, his pupils shrunk, and he watched Beckham, who was two meters away, swing his leg and shoot.

Forty yards from goal!

Kahn fell to the ground after hitting the ball in the penalty area, but he got up immediately. While running back towards the goal, the ball flew across the sky and flew over in a parabolic trajectory. Kahn struggled He took off and tried to save with one hand, but he was just dying, he couldn't touch the ball at all.

Beckham, forty yards away, the super lob shot reappears in the arena!

The stands where the German fans were in was dead silent, while the England fans were waving cross flags and went crazy again!

David Beckham! A super long-range goal! 3:0, the England team is crazy! Completely crazy! The first half is not over yet, England leads the German team 3:0 away! No one would have expected The game turned out to be one-sided. No one would have thought that even if the English had the determination to win, they did not dare to imagine before the game that they could score three goals against the German team away from home. Now they have not conceded a single goal. The attack looked unthreatening, and the sporadic long-range shots didn't even touch the edge of the goal!

Beckham laughed and ran wildly, his expression was similar to that of his teammates: unbelievable, ecstatic!

They didn't dare to think that they could destroy the German team to this extent in the away game!

When Schneider saw that the goal was pierced again, and it was scored by Beckham, his expression was dumb and he didn't say a word.

352 of the German team. Like Total Football in Holland. Very high demands on players.

The current German team. Can't beat 352 at all.

He has no complaints about his teammates in his heart. He feels that his performance today is also very bad, or that he also cannot meet the strength requirements in such a demanding tactical system.

352, Schneider is a member of the right side of the midfield, and he wants to attack. Defense, he has to go back, one side, almost alone.

But in the face of England's targeted defense and counterattack, Schneider knows very well that he can only take care of both offensive and defensive ends. less than. How many people in this world can do it?

If it can be done. Must be world class!

In a place like the German team, where seniority is the only way to get ahead, Schneider didn’t become the main force until he was almost 28 years old. He is not qualified to dictate the team’s tactics, and he has no right to evaluate the coach’s formation, nor can he discuss it in private. This can also be regarded as the tradition of the German team. Apart from the farce of the German team's appeal to the Football Association due to bonus issues, the German team has often been in a quiet atmosphere since then.

Wöller glanced at the glaring score on the scoreboard, Germany 0, England 3, the home team ahead.

His expression was serious, his mind was racing with thoughts.

If the German team faced Millwall led by Aldridge today, he would definitely let Schneider and Bomei play full-backs honestly, and the formation would become 532, or play 541 more conservatively.

But the opponent was the England team. Before the game, he didn't think that the England team, which had won four consecutive victories, was so strong. In theory, they were stronger. No matter how they played, the probability of not being upset was very high.

Aldridge is also the head coach of both Millwall and England. Millwall has beaten Bayern Munich three times in the past two years. In terms of strength, Bayern Munich is stronger than the German national team, because Bayern Munich is still strong. Players like Lizarazu and Elber, who are stronger than the modern German internationals, must be better at the club in terms of teamwork, but Millwall's match against Bayern Munich cannot be used as a reference, because Millwall's strength is also stronger than that of the German team. The England team is stronger, and the characteristics of the players are also very different.

From 1:0 a year ago to 0:3 now, Waller has to admit that Aldridge's coaching ability has played a huge role.

At the end of the first half, Wöhler walked into the player tunnel first. He had to think about the countermeasures. There were 45 minutes left in the game, and the German team was at home. It was impossible to give up? That's not the character of the Germans either. They don't have the word giving up in their football dictionary. Everything has to wait until the end of the game to make a conclusion.

Amidst the cheers and applause of the England fans, the players on the England field walked towards the player tunnel with their heads held high. On the field in Munich, they already had a sense of exhalation.

After the players walked back to the locker room, they saw Aldridge standing in front of the tactical board waiting for them.

At this time, the way everyone looked at him changed again.

Serious, fanatical, and a touch of worship.

The players will be happy and maybe a little proud of the four consecutive victories, but after calming down, they will understand that it means nothing.

In today's strong dialogue, England took a three-goal lead in 45 minutes. There are a lot of opportunities. The advantage of this three-goal lead is not based on luck. If they are lucky, they may be able to beat Germany 5 in the first half. indivual!

Aldridge abandoned England's traditional 442, and now builds 4321. The whole team admires him and firmly believes that England has entered a new era!

I am very happy to see your performance in the first half. You played the effect we have been pursuing in training. Good job!

As soon as Aldridge finished speaking, the players of the whole team felt refreshed and excited.

It's so fucking hard to get a compliment from Aldridge!

Hearing his praise now is like a shot in the arm, making her even more excited.

Even if Aldridge praised them, he didn't show half a smile, because now is not the time to be happy.

The Germans are now thinking about how to save the defeat, and we haven't shown all our abilities yet. In the second half, we want to surprise the opponent! They thought that England was the strongest in the first half. They were wrong. They thought that in the first half One game is the limit of what we can do. They were wrong. They thought that on German soil, England would take away a draw. They were wrong! Listen to me, the second half, throw away all utilitarian ideas, forget Score, take out the power of the field that we have been training for a year and unremittingly pursue, and release it all! Do you understand?

Aldridge was not angry, and his words seemed to be an order to the soldiers. The players of the England team shouted in unison in the dressing room: Understood! (To be continued...) ()
