The Young Lion

The use of changing fronts will not show a fixed routine in the whole game, because the essence is change.

This change has very high requirements on the player's ability.

If Aldrich didn't have the experience of his previous life, even if he studied it, he wouldn't dare to try it lightly.

However, England have an Ashley Cole.

In the original history, for as long as eight years after 2006, Wenger could not escape a fixed template for Arsenal's left wing. The left back was mainly based on speed and assists. Organizational players play on the wing. It is not that Wenger suddenly refused to let go of the No. 10 player, but that the strongest attack of the undefeated team in 2004 was on the left. Combination is the main force forging that Gunner, and because of that combination to reach the peak, Wenger never forgets about it, and has been trying to rebuild the glory of the year on the left, but the results have repeatedly been unsatisfactory.

In addition to the player's ability, the combination seems to be not too far behind in the template, but the reality is that the left back after Arsenal can no longer play Ashley Cole's attack with both speed and change. Unpredictable movement threat.

During 2002-04, Ashley Cole played as a full-back, but observing him cooperate with Pires on the wing, plus Henry, you will find that most of Henry and Pires are in a basically fixed familiar position. He plays in the zone, and Ashley Cole is a person who provides variables and makes the offense unpredictable. He will transform into a player who appears in the forward position at the forefront of the offense, disrupting the opponent's defensive arrangement. , this impact. It's not possible for him to do it alone. The cooperation of teammates is required. Need the technical and tactical support of the team.

This is why Ashley Cole has been criticized for not being worth much after he moved to Chelsea in the early days. Being in a different tactical system, players' abilities are naturally different, and it is also reflected in his playing on behalf of England, while England But he has long been troubled by the lack of attack on the left, because England uses him as an ordinary full-back, or an assist-type full-back.

As for Ashley Cole, the biggest controversy that has always existed is that assists cannot be returned. This is an overly rude accusation. Let me ask, if the full-back rushes to the front line, the offense cannot be completed, and the opponent counterattacks, no matter how fast the full-back is, can it be faster than the ball flying in the sky?

Players cannot be required to be superhuman, and this kind of problem has been solved by the German team in 1974. It is a very simple way to fill in the seats. But doing it well is hard.

Therefore, the England team is Southgate next to Ashley Cole, who is good at supplementing and predicting the development of the ball. At the same time, Lampard is on this side. When Ashley Cole assists, he is also the first person to defend the side. Similarly, on the other side, Beckham and Phil Neville can only play one When England is defending, it must not only ensure that the defensive iron triangle does not move, but at the same time, there must be people on both sides, front or back,

Or defensive midfielder or full back, to ensure that there is no gap in the defensive cross-section, and also have defensive levels.

England is mainly defensive and counterattack is an important means, but they put a lot of troops in the midfield, and they have truly achieved the offensive and defensive balance that many top coaches pursue when they build their teams.

Bielsa made the first request on the spot, which was to increase his speed. However, it was not in a positional battle, but after England counterattacked, they quickly launched an offensive and wanted to fight back in their own way. In the body, hit the counterattack of England's counterattack!

In the 31st minute, Scholes crossed McManaman from the side in front of the penalty area. The latter shot was confiscated by goalkeeper Cavaleiro, and Argentina quickly launched a counterattack.

Bielsa watched the goalkeeper throw the ball to Zanetti who was pulling the sidewalk, and then turned to look at England's half, suddenly full of helplessness.

Just now Phil Neville assisted and ran to the backcourt after Scholes passed the ball. Lampard, who had crossed the center line, also recovered. When Zanetti passed the ball to Ortega in front of the same position, England There are already 7 people in the backcourt, and the two lines of defense with four backs and three midfielders will be rearranged neatly and orderly in less than 3 seconds, and Scholes in the frontcourt will also return to the center line.

Ortega dribbled the ball along the wing to the inside. Lampard didn't grab him. He stuck in the inside position and connected with Ashley Cole. If Ortega forced a cut inside, the two could close the door, even if he After really breaking through, Southgate is waiting for him. The only space left for Ortega is to develop towards the bottom line on the side, or pass the ball back behind him, and the counterattack becomes a positional battle.

Ortega changed to the bottom, Ashley Cole followed closely, the space in the penalty area suddenly shrank, Ortega didn't try to make a strong breakthrough, and used a cross, the ball passed Southgate's head , Behind him, Batty was about to head the ball to grab the point, and the old goalkeeper Seaman came out and took the ball away.

Aldridge's face remained unchanged, his mood was not in a good mood. Argentina's technical and tactical level was not as high as he expected. This is probably where there is a gap between South America and Europe. Don't look at Argentina's killing all directions in South America, but in Europe, they are more particular. In the field of skills and tactics, their offensive football skills and tactics system, which is so unique and prominent in South America, is actually full of loopholes. They can't even play tricks in counterattacks. Foot second to centimeter transfer and scalpel-like through plug?

In the absence of space, the England team did not have this kind of personal ability, but the England team can create through tactics. At this level, Aldridge did not feel any pressure from Bielsa.

Although England is mainly defensive, their rhythm changes are very obvious. When the defense is successful, they will immediately launch a fast break in a planned way, which will suddenly speed up the rhythm.

Seaman's goal kick was thrown directly into the midfield, and the Argentine midfield was empty. After Veron pressed up, the ball flew over his head. He turned to look, Scholes stopped the ball, turned around, and quickly dribbled forward. England's fast break will come to the fore again.

The England team's clever fast-break skills and tactics are the first to play the pressure, that is, the depth, which makes Argentina panic.

After Scholes took the ball forward and played a triangle pass with McManaman and Irving, they had come to the front of Argentina's penalty area, an area that was enough to make Argentina tense.

At this time, the England team will appropriately slow down the pace and carry out the next step of organization, so that Argentina can't make the best choice by adjusting the defensive response on the basis of panic.

Frighten you first, and then charge up for a fatal blow!

Beckham assisted up and pulled the open right side of the penalty area, immediately attracted the defense, Scholes passed the ball to Beckham, the latter made a slight adjustment, and then Golden's right foot took a big arc to spare the other Back point on one side.

Ashley Cole, who came up from the sideline, stopped the ball in front of the bottom line on the side. At this time, the Argentine defense seemed to be about to collapse.

Ashley Cole returned a pass to the top of the penalty area, McManaman missed the front point and passed Simeone, Scholes kept the ball straight to the right of the penalty area, Owen ran diagonally to Samu El rushed to the ball beside him, didn't stop the ball, turned around and volleyed directly!

Samuel turned around and blocked again, but failed to interfere with Owen's shot. There was only a bang, and the ball hit the goal post and popped out. The goalkeeper Cavaleiro sighed secretly.

England is so unlucky today! Two shots hit the goal frame and the post, and a goal was blown away!

Don't worry. On the scene, we have a firm advantage. Obviously, Argentina is not our opponent.

Bielsa now fully understands.

The speed that Argentina has been pursuing, they did not play, on the contrary, England played it, and played it to the fullest!

Every speed impact makes Argentina's defense crumbling!

Decisive factor: space!

At this time, Argentina wants to restrict the England team. It is no longer as simple as letting the two sides of the midfield retreat. The midfield must be adjusted. England has a heavy presence in the midfield. , Behind Veron, there is only one Simeone, let Simeone's position premise, the England team can completely penetrate the midfield with just one teaching two and one.

To solve the defensive loopholes, the formation must be changed, the offensive and defensive posture must be changed, and the personnel must be adjusted.

Bielsa gritted his teeth, with a stubborn look on his face.

The score fell behind.

He has no way out.

No matter how it changes now, it will be Argentina self-destructing the Great Wall, and this is the shackles brought about by the extremely strong offensive technical and tactical system he created, like a shackle.

The same is true for other teams. If England lags behind first, the opponent plays a defensive counterattack, and England makes adjustments, it will be a life-threatening risk, because the advantage that it is best at has no room to play. (to be continued..) ()
