The Young Lion

The debut performance of the new World Cup champion after winning the championship was astonishing.

The offensive and defensive system is disorganized, the defense seems to be full of errors and omissions, and the various fronts are not closely connected. Often, multiple points are encircled and suppressed to expose a huge gap to the opponent, or there is a lack of mutual complements and defenses between teammates at key positions. The offense is even more horrible. Carrick, Gerrard, and Joe Cole seem to be out of character in the midfield. Either everyone stands there trying to control the field, or they rush forward together and lose the sense of hierarchy.

Alan Smith started as a striker, but he looked like a midfielder in the game. James Beatty was selected for the national team for the first time, eager to perform, and tried to shoot himself when he had a chance, as if he had no teammates in his eyes.

The England team is like a straggler fighting alone on the field.

The Dutch team obviously had a lot of good opportunities, but they wasted them again, and it was a waste that made England fans feel unbelievable.

For example, in the 35th minute of the first half, Seedorf and Davis teamed up to penetrate England's midfielder and came to the front of the penalty area. Van der Meyde, who cut in from the wing, waited for Seedorf to make a through pass. Also, as long as Seedorf passes, Van der Meyde can get a one-handed shot diagonally to the goal, but Seedorf insists on passing the ball to Kluivert, who is closely marked by Campbell and has no room to escape, and then Kluivert stays on the spot Handling the ball failed to pass Campbell, nor could he swing out of space, and then was stabbed by Campbell with his foot, a great opportunity wasted like this.

Before the end of the first half, Aldridge walked to the sidelines and made a simple gesture. Let the team slow down a bit. Since the faster the more chaotic. It's better to slow down and organize the attack slowly, at least there will be no chaos on the scene.

The problems of the Dutch are becoming more and more obvious. They don't look like a team, and the field is more like a game between three parties.

Speaking of the glory of the Netherlands, it is inseparable from the contribution of the Surinamese, but Suriname was founded in 75 years. It is not difficult to understand that after the post-70s generation represented by Seedorf left the Dutch national team, the genius production rate in the Netherlands plummeted, because the contribution of the important Suriname talent pool was missing.

The first half of the game ended after Gerrard shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the tie was zero to zero.

Aldridge did not criticize the players when he returned to the locker room, but focused on arranging the responsibilities of the offensive system.

Especially in the midfield, Hargreaves defended and intercepted, Carrick sorted out the connection between the front and the backcourt, Gerrard made a surprise attack, Joe Cole took on the task of organizing the front waistline, and the two forwards rushed forward when attacking. Pull back to disrupt the game when defending.

This is not an ideal distribution of duties, it is just a temporary response to this game.

It's the second half.

England's performance has improved, with the attacking responsibility clear and the defense led.

The Dutch side estimated that during the halftime break, Advocaat held an ideological education meeting for the whole team, and the obvious black and white conflicts in the first half disappeared for the most part.

In the 58th minute, the England team finally played a very threatening offensive.

Joe Cole formed a continuous triangular pass cooperation with Bridge, who came up with the assist, and Carrick behind him, and then interacted with Alan Smith, who retreated to respond. Tee was depressed, he moved away from the Dutch defense, but the ball was not passed to him.

From behind him, Gerrard went up and rushed into the penalty area, just in time to receive a pass from Smith, forming a semi-single-handed situation, almost 12 yards diagonally to the goal, Gerrard shot a burst and was brave by Van der Sar Block it out.

Beautiful, England's offense played like a world champion! It's a pity that Gerrard failed to send the ball into the goal of the Dutch team.

Aldridge sat off the field and applauded the team. Among the players on the field, Gerrard is a figure worth relying on in the new national team. It is not because of his fame, but because of his technical characteristics. It is just because of the incompatibility between the two virtues. I am afraid that Gerrard will continue to be a substitute, but at least he has a surprise soldier.

In the 60th minute, Aldridge made a large number of substitutions, giving Crouch, Phillips, Dyer, Butt, Phil Neville, Brown and others a chance to play.

The Netherlands remained on hold.

Advocaat felt uncomfortable watching England's catwalk substitutions.

The young coach didn't take this game seriously.

It always feels like a fist hit on the cotton.

After all, so what if you really win?

Can it represent the Netherlands more worthy of the crown?

However, the players on the Dutch team were irritated by England's nonchalant attitude.

In the last 30 minutes of the friendly match, no room was spared, the Dutch team fought vigorously, and the scene was unrestrained and passionate.

The England team does not have an advantage on the field. Fortunately, Aldridge is now playing the double midfielder of Bart and Hargreaves, and the defense is still solid.

The Dutch team replaced center Kluivert in the 70th minute, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, made his debut.

The Dutch team played more and more vigorously, and the continuous offensive pressure made England's penalty area jittery. Finally, in the 85th minute, van der Meyde assisted Ruud van Nistelrooy to score!

Aldridge looked a little helpless off the court.

Conceding the ball, he can accept it.

However, if he gave the opponent a chance, then it would be too useless to lose the ball.

Van der Meyde crossed, James made a mistake! Van Nistelrooy faced an empty goal and headed the ball. James missed the ball when he made a pass. This mistake is too undeserved!

James is not young anymore.

32 years old.

As a goalkeeper, this should be an age group with the best form and enough experience.

However, this low-level mistake still happened to James.

The judgment of passing the ball will be wrong, how can this be reassuring?

Why don't you change to Robinson?

After thinking for a while, Aldridge said, Well, after the start of the qualifiers, try replacing Robinson, alas, England's goalkeeper.

The Netherlands won the friendly, and England lost 0-1 at Anfield. After the game, Aldridge chatted with Advocaat on the sidelines for a while, and left Anfield without attending the post-match interview, announcing England disbanded.

Before the training camp next month. The national team squad will be announced again.

The national team's game mission has come to an end. But the work of the national team coaching staff began to get on the right track. Well organized and in full swing.

Aldrich returned to London with his two sons, and Ivan’s due date was three months away. He began to concentrate on staying in London with his family, and hired a tutor to educate Bert and Earl. If he sneaks out to play football, Earl is more obedient.

As for the panic in Fleet Street because England had lost the friendly, Aldridge turned a deaf ear to it.

Aldridge's life has become very regular, and one day every week he goes to the youth training base to teach. The remaining six days can be arranged freely. He has time to accompany Yiwen to roam around, and has time to accompany the children to study and entertain, so he lives a leisurely and comfortable life.

He doesn't necessarily go to the football every week, he will only appear in the box at the Lion King Stadium when Millwall plays at home, and since the beginning of the new season, he has never said a word about the team's internal remarks in front of the media , Even when it comes to Millwall, it is all talking about some diplomatic rhetoric in the capacity of chairman.

However, Millwall starts in mid-September. Suddenly fell into a downturn.

The League Cup ended with a rout.

In the Premier League make-up match after the match day, Millwall also successfully won Charlton at home.

Wait until September 14 as a guest at Tottenham. A result after more than 400 days came to Millwall!

lose!

Tottenham beat Millwall 3:2 at White Hart Lane!

Nesta was injured in the opening 18 minutes!

Nesta, the transfer bid king of the Premier League in the summer, has to recuperate for 3 months after only playing two games!

Tottenham coach Glenn Hoddle is proud of the spring breeze. Tottenham have made an ideal start to the new season this season. After defeating Millwall, they ranked among the top four in the standings with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss!

Fleet Street condemns Klinsmann.

The Times: The myth of the Wild Lion's invincibility ends at White Hart Lane!

Daily Mail: Is Klinsmann trying to exhaust the Wild Lion?

Daily Star: Tottenham defeated the Wild Lions with 4321, did Sir Hall watch the game?

That's right, Tottenham's tactics for defeating Millwall at White Hart Lane were identified by Fleet Street as the 4321 technical and tactical system used by England to win the World Cup.

Hoddle also generously admitted after the game, saying: England's technical and tactical system to win the World Cup has always had a profound impact on English football. It was 442 back then, and now it is 4321. I think there is nothing wrong with English clubs using this tactic. Question, this will make us brilliant! Especially against a super team like Millwall, 4321 is very targeted. I am very happy that we ended Millwall’s unbeaten run. For almost a year and a half, the whole of Europe, Only Tottenham beat Millwall!

Some media also think that Hoddle is a bit shameless, 4321 is conservative, and will not be accepted by the mainstream of England. His big talk is nothing more than using 4321 against Millwall today, and changing him to other teams, then use this tactic , I'm afraid it's the end of Dong Shi's imitation.

And Millwall's internal problems have also been focused by the outside world.

Klinsmann has no rotation. In the second half of the World Cup year, the new season already has World Cup syndrome. Among the players in the Millwall team and the frontcourt players, except for Henry, who played one and a half games in the World Cup, the other players, La Ersen played 5 games, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Klose, all participated in the World Cup from beginning to end!

Since the start of the war in mid-August, Millwall, who has no rotation, has been fighting here and there, going to Wales and Monaco. After traveling back and forth, the physical consumption is even greater. In addition, England has a dense schedule and there are games interspersed in it. A series of factors, Millwall's non-rotation, made the defeat at White Hart Lane seem logical.

The Lions, who were newly defeated in the league, went to France to participate in the UEFA Champions League before taking a breather. Klinsmann still did not dare to rotate and sent the main team away to attack. Millwall, whose physical condition was already at the end of his strength, was upset again.

The first stage of the European Champions Cup group stage.

Lens 1:1 Millwall. (to be continued..) ()
