The Young Lion

Aldridge said that everything should be overthrown and restarted, but it was not the case.

Regardless of the various styles of techniques and tactics, they do not exist alone, and they all have similarities in some small details.

For example, England's local defense. When they play 4321, they also use the triangle defense system most of the time. The defensive cooperation is also partnered with teammates. It is like attacking. Their defensive focus is shifted to the midfield. He rushed up the backcourt, and his offensive methods were also very similar to before.

Owen is close to the goal, and Lampard, Beckham, and even Ashley Cole are far away from the goal. His forward attack distance is closer, and the opponent can be caught off guard. Scholes still has the power to organize and dispatch in the midfield and frontcourt. After the absence of McManaman, the decline in personal breakthrough ability cannot be ignored, but when Aldrich chose this set of tactics, he considered it. The important thing is whether the midfielder can tear the opponent apart. Once it can be done, it is still the poor offensive and defensive rhythm that plays a decisive role in the game, not whether a certain player has the ability to dribble. Because the distance from the opponent's dangerous zone is closer, The power of the team's forward threat can reduce the effect of the player's individual dribbling.

To put it bluntly, it is just one word: fast!

The ball is faster than people, and running without the ball is faster than running with the ball.

In terms of the difference in the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions, if England launched a counterattack from the midfield, it would be the slowest individual dribble forward!

This game is definitely not convincing, because Slovakia's overall strength is not enough to pose a considerable threat to England, and it is impossible to test whether England's playing is reliable or not.

However, this does not prevent England players from enjoying the game. The fans saw that England was like a group of lions strangling their opponents frantically across the half. Naturally, she was overjoyed. Cheers.

In the 23rd minute, England directly intercepted the ball from the opponent's back waistline. Scholes defended from the front. Alan Smith stabbed the ball away from the opponent's feet from behind. The Slovakian defense didn't expect it, why the hell did the ball fly back again?

The ball not only flew over their heads, but beside them. Another figure rushed past.

Owen responded to the falling ball, volleyed and shot, a fatal blow!

England unsurprisingly dominated the first half and opened the scoring in the 23rd minute. Owen scored the goal and Scholes assisted him. England played today in a refreshing and wild way. Unrestrained, you can see that the whole team is running non-stop, and the offense and defense are in a hurry. Watching it is exciting!

This set of tactics,

To play well. What needs to be played most is the undying physical fitness of England's engineers on the field, as well as the ability to fight against opponents. Of course, you need to play football with your brain.

Slovakia couldn't pass the ball to each other in the midfield, and the formation was getting deeper and deeper. They wanted to play the bus, but they couldn't stand England's long-range shooting skills.

In the 39th minute, Alan Smith returned the ball in front of the penalty area. Beckham, who followed up after running, made a short pass to Lampard to assume the fort. Changing direction and refracting, it still flew into the goal of Slovakia.

Haha, 2:0, England easily expanded their lead to two goals. Lampard, who just scored a goal in Millwall last week, also scored in the national team today.

Aldridge still didn't sit back, he just smiled when the goal appeared, and then resumed his serious expression. When the game restarted, he had to direct the players on the field to move from time to time.

If he wants England players to develop a kind of game inertia, he must continue to give the opponent high pressure. This high pressure does not come from offense, but from defense.

In the second half, England changed players, Owen was replaced by Beatty, and Scholes was replaced by Joe Cole. Even so, England still scored two goals in the second half.

Beatty scored a first goal, and Beckham scored with a set kick.

England swept Slovakia 4-0 away.

The score may not be unexpected, but in the whole game, the England team only gave Slovakia 2 shots, and all of them missed.

Aldridge shook his head in an interview after the game.

There is nothing to discuss in this game. We just won a game that should have been won. It is not a lack of respect for Slovakia, but England is indeed much stronger than the other side. Therefore, defeating Slovakia does not mean that England after the World Cup. Strong is still standing still, or not as good as it was a few months ago. I can’t comment on this aspect, and you don’t need to discuss it in the media. It was Portugal two years later.

Aldrich really doesn’t want Fleet Street to brag about England any more. After winning the World Cup, he has boasted enough words such as greatness, epic, and legend. The royal family should confer knighthoods on every England national team player, as if the knighthood is already a Chinese cabbage, although it is not far away.

As soon as the match against Slovakia was over, Aldridge led the team back to London on a plane. The England national team already had some arrogance and felt that the victory over Slovakia was nothing to mention. Many players calmed down and rested on the plane.

And Aldrich also put on a blindfold and planned to sleep to pass the flight journey, but Stella Marjoni came to disturb Aldrich.

Aldrich, I have some questions about managing the team and I want to ask you for advice, I hope I won't bother you.

Aldrich took off his blindfold and turned to look at Stella Marcioni who came to sit next to him, and said with a smile: Put away your notebook, don't be so serious on this plane, just chat and chat, we will work together in the future It's still a long time, I'm sure one day there will be nothing worthy of your serious advice, so let's just talk, I know everything.

Stella Marcioni really put away his notebook, and he has not known Aldrich for a long time, but he has a relatively deep understanding of him. Anyway, in Stella Marcioni's opinion, he feels uncomfortable around Aldrich. The kind of arrogance and publicity advertised to the outside world. on the contrary. Aldridge is very approachable. He never lectures others, although sometimes he speaks to make people laugh, but he never makes things difficult.

He can feel that he cherishes the opportunity to work with Aldridge, and Aldridge also cherishes every friend around him.

Stella Maggioni must have ambitions to be a club coach in the future. The reason why he is so puzzled and disturbs Aldrich when everyone is resting is that he knows the job of the national team. Qi will only stay on for two more years. He hopes to use these two years to learn as much experience as possible from this young coach.

Aldridge really knew everything, but whenever Stramaccioni had doubts, he gave his personal opinions and opinions as much as possible.

It wasn't until the plane landed in London that Stella Marjoni suddenly realized that this was not a short journey home, and the young commander was not impatient at all, which made him grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Aldridge returned to London to give the team a day off, he went home happily to reunite with his family, and then returned to training with the national team the next day.

England has two games on this wave of match days, the first being an away game against Slovakia. The second game is against Macedonia in London.

Macedonia only joined 8 years ago and belongs to the former Yugoslavia. Today's football level is between the second-rate and the third-rate in Europe.

For this European Cup qualifier, England's home stadium was selected at the Lion King Stadium in East London.

When Aldridge walked into the Lion King Stadium with ease, he saw the strange welcome slogan on the South Stand.

Sir Hall, welcome home!

In the fully packed stands, the fans were not crazy, but had a warm smile in their calmness.

It was cold, and Aldridge, who was wearing a slim-fitting coat, put his hands in his coat pockets and walked towards the home team coaching bench. For some reason, he stood in front of the home team coaching bench with a dazed expression, as if he had returned to the days when he led the Millwall team.

I'm afraid countless fans in the stands felt the same way.

The fans in the nearby stands no longer chase Aldridge madly, but now they greet and encourage him more like friends, especially today, it seems that many people want to high-five him.

It seems that the fans are not used to Aldridge sitting high in the chairman's box.

Aldridge standing on the sidelines made everyone feel more comfortable and felt that everything should be like this.

When the players from both sides walked into the field, Aldridge found that the field became slightly calmer.

The stadium, which is obviously full of seats and can accommodate 60,000 people, can't feel the terrifying atmosphere of the home court.

Aldridge thinks this is not good!

Macedonian came from afar to be a guest, as the host, how can we not warmly welcome it?

When Irving was stepping on the ball in the middle circle and was about to kick off after the referee blew the game whistle, the situation suddenly rose at the scene.

I saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines, raising his arms that seemed to contain infinite magic power, his slim coat was slightly opened, and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth made him look like a modern wizard.

Arms up, down, up, down.

Just after two times.

In the calm stadium, it seemed that a storm was brewing, whistling, and the deep and endless voice gradually amplified. It was the fans in the stands booing.

The moment the referee blew his whistle and Irving kicked the ball to Alan Smith, there was a loud noise that seemed to break through the sky at the Lion King Stadium.

It was as if this stadium was about to explode, with rumbling sounds and endless echoes, but Aldridge was like the king of this place, ruling over everything!

No one doubts that Aldridge is the god of the Lion King Stadium!

Not only were the Macedonian players extremely shocked, they couldn't imagine that the stadium, which was calm and normal a moment ago, became extremely hot in an instant, and the fans in the stands were like crazy, and the roar seemed to kill them alive Swallow it raw!

Even the players in England were a little caught off guard, and their feet almost went limp, thinking that there was a riot in the stadium!

On the sidelines, Aldridge lowered his arms, smiling intoxicated.

The quietness of the fans at the beginning was understandable. Macedonian was not popular, and they were not interested, but since Aldridge needed the atmosphere of the stadium and the strength of the fans, how could they be stingy?

On this day, England slaughtered Macedonia 7-0 at the Lion King Stadium, Owen and Scholes scored hat-tricks at the same time, and Alan Smith added the icing on the cake.

The next day, after winning the World Cup, the photo of Aldridge mobilizing the atmosphere on the sidelines made him once again become the headline protagonist of the major media on Fleet Street! (to be continued..) ()
