The Young Lion

Thanks to Thieves and Qingqing Little Wolf for their rewards!

Lucio, the iron guard, has obvious advantages, but also has obvious disadvantages. Compared with the other two central defenders, Lucio can be a god or a devil.

No matter how inconspicuous the other central defenders of the Brazilian team are, they do not have too many weaknesses after all. It is obviously naive and naive to rush and play to kill the Brazilian team.

Under the premise that the England team does not invest too much offensive force, it will not be able to achieve a team effect.

Aldridge could only settle for the next best thing, abandoning the overall strategy to win, and working hard on the details.

Forcibly playing on the right side, there is not only the intention of suppressing Carlos, forcing Carlos to return to the defense, and reducing the support given to Ronaldinho, but also the targeted idea of ​​​​paralyzing Lucio.

Just like Southgate, Southgate fills in for Ferdinand, Bart, and Ashley Cole, assists in defense, and waits for one.

But when Southgate was hit head-on by the aliens, he seemed a little overwhelmed.

It's not that Lucio can't stop him, it's just that he disturbed his game thinking during the game. He had been filling Edmilson's position for more than 30 minutes to assist the defense there, and suddenly the focus of offense shifted to him. Both Edmilson and him will be caught off guard. The former may have a delay in filling awareness, while the latter will immediately change his mind. Once his brain gets hot, he may make a big mistake.

This iron guard who has played well in Leverkusen for one and a half years has not been crushed by pressure all at once.

McManaman made an emergency stop in front of him, and at the same time Owen also stopped the inside movement, and Lucio immediately put away the idea of ​​​​grabbing. as expected. McManaman and Irving made a two-for-one cooperation. If Lucio rushes up rashly, behind him is the sky-high corridor where McManaman went to the meeting alone!

The position was not lost, Lucio turned around in time to steal the ball before McManaman stretched his foot, and then cleared with a big foot.

Scolari let out another breath, relieved.

The England team can't make waves!

Just when he was relieved, a minute later. A scene that he could not accept appeared.

Lucio really understood at this time.

The England team is attacking against him, and even defending!

After a backcourt attack was terminated by him,

He's got the ball, he's ready to play, and he's not willing to kick the ball.

McManaman was on his right, jamming his way out to the right, with Owen running from Edmilson's side to grab him, with Scholes standing in front of Kleber Near Sen, Lucio suddenly panicked. The nearest short passing line is almost blocked, so he takes two steps forward with the ball. Not daring to stick to the ball too much, he passed it when he saw Silva.

England's defensive strategy has actually appeared in previous games, but it is not used by the England team, it is Sweden!

By applying local pressure, predict the opponent's passing line, and then carry out premeditated interception.

Before Silva caught the ball, he didn't expect that Beckham behind him rushed up, stretched out his foot to break the ball before him, and rushed forward directly!

Seeing his pass error, Lucio really lost his mind and rushed forward to block Beckham.

Seeing this, Scolari suddenly lost his voice: Don't go!

Originally, it was an opportunity for the Brazilian team to attack from the back line. Other players were stretching their formations. As a response, the England team did not press down on Lucio. It was just a gesture. The England team, which has an advantage in the midfield, wait Watching him pass the ball, what happens after he breaks it?

Needless to say?

Of course it was a thunderbolt!

When Lucio rushed forward, behind him reversely cut into the empty silhouette of the Brazilian team's back line. Don't say that the audience knew it. In France four years ago, it was this figure that caught up with the wind and hurt him. Xiongying, made a name for himself as a young genius?

The golden boy Owen looked back while running. Beckham's pass arrived as expected. The overhead ball was not too high from the ground and just passed the top of Lucio's head. The speed was not particularly fast. Lucio Ao looked up at the ball flying behind him. He turned around and wanted to catch up, but he could only watch helplessly as the ball drifted away. It seemed that the ball could still talk, mocking his mistakes and mocking his rashness. , Seducing him to the cliff of sinners!

Irving’s movement of unloading the ball is the same as that of the shocking attack four years ago. The instep of the running center and outside meets the falling ball skillfully. The ball is controlled by him flexibly and freely, blending with his running rhythm. Then, Golden Boy accelerated, entered the restricted area, and went to the meeting alone!

All the spectators at the Saitama World Cup Stadium couldn't help standing up, but the atmosphere was so depressing that it was breathless.

Aldrich clenched his fist, and his nails had already scratched the skin.

Scolari was dumbfounded and terrified.

The golden boy Owen faced the Brazilian goalkeeper Marcos. Owen knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. This opportunity seemed accidental, but in fact it cost England almost all the tactical layout since the opening!

Miss this one, there won't be a second time!

Never will!

The mysterious perception from the depths of the soul made Owen realize: This may be the most important and precious opportunity in my life that I cannot miss!

Regret, regret, regret that England has never won the European Cup, England has won the Hercules Cup only by relying on the controversial goal line of the local battle, countless ancestors, no matter how amazing and brilliant they are in the great tide of an era, it is inevitable that the country The regrettable ending in the team competition!

Owen's eyes were firm, and a sentence echoed in his mind.

Fight against Brazil, no regrets!

No regrets! No regrets!

boom!

A crisp and firm shot was cast from Owen's feet. The flying fire meteor flashed past Marcos's eyes like a meteor. He didn't make any saves, and the running movement of abandoning the goal came to an abrupt end , The tsunami-like eruption of the stadium has already told him the result, but he still turned his head slowly without giving up and looked, the ball rolled out of the goal. rolled out of the door

The chasing boy didn't go chasing the wind again. He ran close to the corner flag. Lying on his back on the turf, holding his head in his hands, smiling a little stupidly, other players in England rushed over, knelt or swooped to gather around Owen, hugged Owen's head madly, couldn't help but kiss.

Ah ah!

On the sidelines, at the dugout. Known as the most handsome man in the coaching world, he clenched his fists with a grim look on his face and kept roaring.

The Three Lions broke through the door of the Samba Legion!

Aldrich, he didn't laugh, he only roared, like a lion roaring, declaring war on the world!

I have come, I have seen, I have conquered!

Although the game has not yet ended, Aldridge has made the possibility real and tangible!

Aldridge. Always had ambition, always had!

Fold all the heroes in the world. Step on the throne!

Without this ambition, he wouldn't be able to make it to where he is today, without this ambition, he would just drift with the tide and disappear from everyone!

In fact, judging by the vast majority of top coaches watching the content of this game, Aldridge has already won against Scolari. Regardless of the initial layout or on-the-spot command decisions, Aldridge is better than Scolari.

so what?

Aldridge's philosophy does not include the words defeat is glorious. He likes to do things for fame, but on the court, he only likes to win.

Owen! Owen! England broke through the gate of Brazil, the goal is Michael Owen! He is England's hero, and his goal is likely to lead England back to the World Cup final after 36 years!

The Brazilian team did not expect the England team to break through their gate first.

Although it seems that Lucio's pass error was caused by a steal and a counterattack, but in their hearts there is a feeling of no complaints about losing.

Ronaldinho sullenly, not very happy.

He is not a utilitarian in the field of competition. This kind of utilitarianism does not mean that he does not care about money, but that his attitude and pursuit of playing football are different from the mainstream.

There are many players who play to win.

Ronaldinho plays football for pleasure.

For the former, as long as he wins, he will be happy, but it is not necessarily true for Ronaldinho. He feels that the game is not fun, even if he wins, so what? Still not happy.

Brazil's performance in the first half made him unhappy.

Too utilitarian, in other words, Scolari's pragmatism met Aldridge, and it was obviously inferior.

Aldridge was sometimes defensive, and it was the same in Millwall, but just his willingness to risk his life could make Ronaldinho feel depressed for an hour, but it was worth it!

The Brazil team conceded the ball, and Scolari gave tactical instructions from the sidelines, asking the team to attack!

There are less than 5 minutes left before the end of the first half.

Scolari judges others by himself. He believes that the young coach has led by a goal, and he will definitely do his best in the first half to keep the score of 1:0, and then make adjustments in the midfield.

But he was wrong. If he changed another opponent, Aldridge would definitely let the team retreat, but he chose to play Brazil, no!

He doesn't retreat, he fights with masters, besides not being able to make mistakes himself, the most important thing is: what the opponent wants, he will not give it to the opponent!

Why did Aldridge pay attention to the game and seize the opportunity to decisively adjust the team's game posture?

It is nothing more than to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Brazilian team, not to allow the opponent to continue to play oppressive attacks, not to let the opponent's offense become smoother, but to beat the opponent instead, causing them to panic and confusion.

It is the same now, the Brazilian team will definitely attack in order to equalize the score, and the England team will do the opposite, still not retreating, continue to guard the midfield, press wildly, and catch counterattacks!

This is completely different from the situation before the goal, and it comes from the mentality!

Before the goal, the Brazilian team really pressed forward, and Aldridge must have ordered the team to retreat, but the Brazilian team conceded the ball. Their mentality fluctuated, which would make it difficult to organize the attack as efficiently as before.

I saw Aldrich waved his hand, ordering the whole team to continue to maintain the game posture before scoring.

This time, it was really a fierce fight with the Brazilian team in the midfield!

As expected, the Brazilian team was a little impatient when attacking, and there was a trend of disconnection between the midfield and the backcourt. This was very different from the previous disconnection between the frontcourt and the midfield. Now, their lives are really hanging by a thread!

Cafu passed the ball to Rivaldo, who just passed Lampard before Scholes poked the ball away. Ashley Cole rushed up and passed the ball straight ahead to McManaman.

McManaman drives straight in with the ball and attracts Junior to defend in front of the penalty area. Lampard inserts behind and McManaman crosses. Lampard receives the ball and then plays a two-on-one with Scholes , Lampard, who single-handedly entered the penalty area, got the ball and rubbed the ball non-stop. Marcos swooped and failed to touch the ball.

Everyone thought that the ball would definitely be scored, but Lampard failed to make a bigger arc, and the ball brushed the far post and flew out of the baseline.

There was a loud sigh, and then England fans applauded the team.

It's a pity that we almost made it 2-0, but we still have to praise England for their performance. This is the attitude of a mature team. There are many teams that lead in a strong dialogue and don't know it. How to play, the England team has been very determined and very united in thinking.

Of course we have the best manager in the world, Aldridge Hall.

The Brazilian team wanted to counterattack but was almost stabbed again by the England team. Scolari was heartbroken. Brazil's defense was a bit chaotic. In the last sporadic time, he didn't do what he wanted and let the team take it back. , the halftime break to calm down and say, really stubborn to attack forward, maybe you will really be beaten by England again!
