The Young Lion

Two years ago, Phil Neville became England's sinner. Outsiders can't understand the kind of bitterness accused by thousands of people. Therefore, in this World Cup, it can be clearly seen that Phil Neville is completing his job, that is, on the basis of defense. , not daring to over-perform, which Aldridge discovered in the warm-up match before the World Cup.

He will not force the players, as the coach, understand the player's situation, use it appropriately, and should not ask the players to do things they can't do, especially the coach of the national team.

Therefore, Aldridge does not have high requirements for the attack on the right. Moreover, with Beckham on the right, just a long pass can bring enough threats.

The attack from the left is the focus. Ashley Cole and Lampard's turn forward is an important means for the England team to attack the city and create opportunities. It is also due to the fact that they are not well-known and easily overlooked by opponents.

That's why Ashley Cole made a bold statement, and he became famous just by defeating the Pampas Eagle!

The England team needs space to defend against counterattacks. Even if Turkey defends cautiously, it does not mean that they can absolutely limit the space for England to attack. Aldridge used his command ability to create space for the team!

Ashley Cole moved forward at high speed, approaching the Turkish back line, intimidating, insulting, and destroying were being staged step by step!

It's just that he seemed a little lonely. Turkic fighters were rushing towards him in all directions, gradually forming a circle of encirclement.

Owen ran diagonally, in front of the back line, this interlude, for a moment, had the opportunity to form a pass-run cooperation with Ashley Cole to tear the opponent's entire defense line, unfortunately, Ashley Cole hesitated . Perhaps it is because of his lack of confidence in his ability to pass the ball in high-speed dribbling. He didn't pass it on. Owen looked up to the sky and sighed, then went back and looked for opportunities again.

Ashley Cole wanted to take a long shot, but felt unsure for a moment, so he simply stopped, controlled the ball, and observed.

The Turkish soldiers were about to surround him. Ashley Cole saw the teammate closest to him and made a short pass. Handed the ball to McManaman!

It was McManaman who played the ball decisively, stopped the ball, passed through, and was clean!

Scholes ran between Brent and Alpe, the ball came from behind him as expected, and his combination with McManaman's passing and running was perfect.

Ginger's head slanted towards the goal and had an almost single-handed chance. Without hesitation, he fired a heavy cannon!

Goalkeeper Rustu made a world-class save!

Courageously block the ball from the top corner of the goal to the bottom line,

The Turkish generals calmed down after a false alarm.

Gunesh heard the huge exclamation in the stadium, and he felt a chill down his spine.

He turned his head and looked at Aldridge who was tilting his head and making a regretful expression. Gunes cursed cunningly in his heart, but it was undeniable that he was already shocked.

. Scholes almost broke the goal. The Turkish goalkeeper Rustu performed bravely and saved Scholes's tricky volley from a tricky angle! England's best chance in the first half.

In this game, both sides played conservatively. There are not many wonderful offensive scenes, and there are only a handful of good shooting opportunities. It is very rare for England to create such opportunities. Moreover, with this time I am afraid that Turkey will pay more attention to defense and will not give England the same chance again.

Gunes didn't hesitate to ask the team to stop and strengthen the defense, at least to get through the first half first.

He has to think carefully about how to deal with England's routine of concentrating on a local area and then diverting the offense.

There is nothing mysterious about England's offense. It just attracts the opponent's defensive force locally and creates space for other teammates to attack.

Gunesh found that there was a deviation in the actual application of his formation.

In other words, he underestimated England's ability to counterattack with poor rhythm.

5 midfielders, it looks like there are many people, but when Turkey attacks, even if two wide players are careful not to over-commit, Basturk and Emre must go up, if not, or only one, think Want to blow up England's defense? If it can be blown up, Argentina will die a real injustice!

So after Basturk and Emre attacked, they were defended by England. England turned around and counterattacked. Regardless of whether Turkey had 5 defenders and a single midfielder, or 3 defenders and 3 midfielders, it still could not fill the entire midfield. Space.

England's counterattack ability is strong, strong because their offensive points are unpredictable, and at the same time they make full use of the space on the field!

In addition to the two central defenders and the midfielder Butt, the full-backs and the two midfielders may all be offensive points to attack, and they are hard to defend.

Gunes has already begun to think about whether it is a change of formation?

Changing formations is his habit. When the team is in a bad situation, his first thought is to change formations. This is his successful experience.

However, how to change?

Also becomes 4321? He has used it before, in the last match against Japan.

But it seems that a single striker can't do England's defense, and they don't have a world-class striker.

Just as he was thinking hard, Aldrich issued a second command on the spot.

Very simple gesture.

The players understand it when they see it.

The previous tactical adjustments were cancelled, and the team returned to conventional offensive tactics.

McManaman almost laughed, and Beckham also had a hint of understanding, with the corners of his mouth curved.

With the left offensive space created by the previous concentrated firepower onslaught on the right, and Ashley Cole came up to create an excellent offensive opportunity, Turkey's defense must have begun to panic.

England has returned to the normal offensive routine. The offensive routine was false before, and the attack on the right was cover and creation. Now it is real, and it can be wherever it hits. Between reality and reality, they must be scruples and distracted, worrying whether England's offense is playing tricks again.

By this point in the game, Aldridge knew the situation well and Gunesh had made a mistake, one that was probably small but one that England could definitely exploit.

That is, Gunes ideally feels that Basturk and Emre can have both offense and defense, half offense and half defense. increase the attack points. At the same time, the defense can accumulate a numerical advantage in the midfield.

if. The tactical tone of Turkey and England is the same, and they are both post-strikes. This idea is correct, but there are still obvious differences between Turkey and England.

Regardless of the fact that both sides are conservative on the field and are based on defense, in fact, in the details, Turkey is still the main offensive side, but they attack cautiously. It seems that there is no storm, as if the rhythm has not changed, and it does not seem that Turkey has taken the initiative, but every time England really invests in troops to attack, it comes after the opponent's frontcourt attack, so the opponent's rhythm is poor , in the case that Basturk and Emre couldn't run in place even if they went to defend after the end of the offense, Gunes' formation, the midfield confrontation advantage no longer exists.

Such details are difficult to understand in the eyes of the audience, but if the game is divided into segments. Observe frame by frame and you will find out. When Turkey attacked, England's midfield defense was very tight, and when England actually attacked, it was after Turkey's attack was frustrated. If Turkey also placed a tight formation, it means that England has no good chance to counterattack. England will hastily end the offense, and will never invest in offensive forces hastily, causing loopholes in the midfield defense.

If a top coach who advocates offense is watching this game, he will definitely curse England for being shameless, and at the same time feel that England has been trained to be mature and sophisticated by Aldridge.

Turkey itself may not be aware of this, and will only attribute this phenomenon to England's better physical fitness, quick offense and defense, or stronger players, superb team technical and tactical strength, etc. In fact, it is the offensive posture and offensive and defensive transitions. In terms of grasping the poor rhythm, England is very disciplined and utilitarian. If you don't see a rabbit, you won't throw an eagle. If you don't have a good opportunity, you will never invest troops rashly.

In the 45th minute of the first half, near stoppage time, Turkey finished an attack, Hakan Suk failed to pass Southgate's level, Turkey was preparing to retreat to end the first half, England suddenly launched a quick attack. Attack the storm.

There was only 1 minute of stoppage time in the first half, and there were only 35 seconds left before the end of stoppage time. If the counterattack was delayed by a few seconds, all Turkish players retreated and set up a defensive line, basically declaring the end of the first half.

This is the last fight of the first half.

Southgate risked a long pass to Beckham. On that side, Ergon just slowed down and stepped back, not daring to press up, giving Beckham an environment to catch the ball easily.

Beckham got the ball and handed it to Scholes. Jiang headed the ball and strode forward. Emre was behind him and was chasing again. Go back and chase, which is completely different from the midfield defense in Gunes' pre-match tactical design. However, he has to attack. Every time he attacks, he turns around and chases back.

Scholes moved forward all the way. After meeting Tugai in the front midfielder area, the pressure on Turkey's defense increased sharply. The people who returned to their defense in the frontcourt basically returned to the second half. However, the defense line is not considered an arrangement. It was very good, at least, Scholes dribbled the ball to the front midfielder area, and the threat showed signs.

Scholes protected the ball, turned around, and returned the ball to Beckham who ran up!

After passing the ball, Scholes advanced into the penalty area, Beckham glanced at the situation in the penalty area, made a 45-degree pass, and a wonderful arc crossed the sky.

Going straight to the back of the penalty area, Turkey's three defenders all entered the penalty area before Beckham made a pass, and because Owen and Scholes moved alternately, the defense of the three was a bit messy. Who will stare at the two? Human beings cannot be perfectly coordinated in an instant.

When the ball bypassed the back line and fell to the rear point of the penalty area, all the Turkish generals turned their heads and looked in shock.

McManaman rushed towards the point where the ball landed and headed straight for the goal!

Rustu once again staged a god-level save, and the ball was blocked!

The penalty area in Turkey was a mess. Everyone watched the ball fly out of the penalty area, but saw another knight in white killing him outside the penalty area, as if rushing out of the darkness, bringing the dawn of dawn.

That is, the magic lamp.

Lampard!

Anyway, after this offense is over, basically the first half of the game will end.

Anyway, Türkiye has all retreated.

Even though Beckham was attacking, Lampard still rushed forward. Facing the ball that bounced out of the penalty area, Lampard rushed forward and stood still. The ball bounced slowly at a height of half a meter, and then, a huge impact hit the side of the ball.

boom!

With a long shot, the flying fire meteor made an eye-popping impact on Turkey's goal! (to be continued...) ()
