Word of Aldridge's outburst inside and outside the dressing room at Lisbon's Stadium of Light quickly spread.<
This is the price of not being able to control your emotions.
"The Sun" alarmist reports that there is a huge rift within the Three Lions dressing room.
The Mirror made an in-depth analysis of this incident.
Titled "Manchester United's Class of '92 should shoulder the important responsibilities of the national team!"
The article analyzed the battle between England and France, and gave high marks to Gerrard, Owen, Hargreaves, Ashley Cole and other players in the post-match comments.
The players in Manchester United's Class of '92 did not score high.
Among them, Scholes had the highest score and only qualified scores.
He believed that Scholes was in mediocre condition and his performance lacked highlights.
Gary Neville struggled to defend Henry in the second half on the defensive end, and his assist performance on the offensive end was not outstanding. He became the lowest scorer in the England team. The one who was slightly better than him was Beckham. He only had one comment about Beckham:
Just like without his new hairstyle, he becomes mediocre on the court.
The comments on the entire game were sharp and merciless.
"If the French team is not the defending champion, what is there to be proud of in England's victory? Many people in the French team are in a sluggish state. Only Zidane shines with his superb skills, not to mention that Pires is ridiculously assigned to play on the right wing.
, the French team’s aging defense was unable to remain stable for a long time in the face of England’s young impact. Gerrard and Lampard covered their own penalty area to the opponent’s goal.
In all areas in front of him, it is no exaggeration to say that it was these two heroes who used their extraordinary physical fitness to bring down the French team's defense. In the end, Gerrard played his most exciting game in the national team! But...
After Southgate decided to retire from the European Cup due to injury, who is the most senior and oldest player in the England team, and who should shoulder the important responsibility of the national team? Isn’t it the Class of 92 that Manchester United is proud of?
Players? Neville, Scholes, Beckham, it’s time for them to support England’s backbone and lead the England team forward, but Beckham, who has just officially become captain, was dissatisfied by Sir Hall. Read it
Fans of the game will definitely remember Gerrard, Owen, Hargreaves who ran wildly in the midfield and backcourt, Ashley Cole who shuttled up and down, and many times in the frontcourt.
Lampard connected the attack and quickly returned to defense, but who will remember Beckham? Maybe people only want to appreciate his wonderful arc cross, but that is not what Sir Hall wants. If Beckham
We cannot return to the state and attitude we had in the World Cup two years ago. We can make a bold assumption: He will be stripped of the captain's armband by Sir Hall and kicked out of the starting lineup!"
The Times directly ignored the "contradictions" in the England dressing room.
David Miller, who wrote the battle report review, explained everything in just one sentence.
"There will never be arguments and conflicts in a team's locker room. England is no exception. As long as Sir Hall is there, there will be no problems in the England team's locker room. Even if there are quarrels, it will have a positive effect. People
He probably forgot that the coach himself has the right to criticize players who perform poorly. If Sir Hall does not criticize players, this is the real hidden danger!"
David Miller is more inclined to explore the technical and tactical changes of the England team after their appearance in the European Cup.
"After McManaman retired from the national team, the England team's personal breakthrough ability has declined significantly. In order to cope with this change, Sir Hall used Gerrard, supplemented by Lampard and Scholes in the midfield.
Beckham uses their wide running range and strong defensive ability to implement more efficient attacks on opponents.
Strong defensive pressure! Two years ago, the key defensive area of the England team was in the midfield and backfield. Now it has moved forward to the midfield. The advantage of this is that as long as the ball is intercepted in the midfield, England can attack in the shortest time.
To the front line of attack, the opponent's reaction time and defense time are shortened again, and the offense is more dependent on
Relying on players to get in behind and impact the opponent's defense with their explosive power in a short period of time, rather than relying on individual breakthroughs, this system is very clear. Owen is at the front, Gerrard is behind him, and Lampa is behind him.
Germany, the players who deliver shells to them are also reasonably distributed, with Beckham on the right and Scooter in the middle.
England's playing style is simpler and more direct than two years ago. Crossing from the wing is back in our sights, but the use of details is still impressive.
Yes, when Gerrard and Lampard have no space to move forward, England will never cross from the wing..."
The European Cup is different from the World Cup.
The European Cup schedule is much closer than the World Cup!
The World Cup lasts for one month, the European Cup only lasts for three weeks, and the interval between games is only three days.
Therefore, when the England team competes in the European Cup, they have much fewer holidays than when they compete in the World Cup. The day after the match day, they will have recovery training in the morning, rest in the afternoon, and meet their families, and then return to the hotel in the evening for another day.
, we are about to set off for the city where the second game will take place. You can imagine how stressful it will be!
In particular, modern football is becoming more and more intense, and the recovery time for players after a game will also be longer. The tighter the schedule, the greater the test for the team. England is actually doing well. Southgate has withdrawn from Europe due to injury.
After the Cup, none of the main players in the team are over 30 years old, and most of the players are in their prime.
During the resumption of training the next morning, Beckham publicly apologized to the team and stated that he would perform his duties as captain seriously. Aldridge encouraged the team and ignored the turmoil after the game against France.
On this day, Group C games follow one after another.
After being eliminated from the World Cup two years ago, Larsson announced his retirement from the national team. Under the persuasion of the Swedish national team, family and friends, and even the Swedish Prime Minister and UEFA President Johansson, he continued to play for the national team.
His "return" was perfect.
Sweden made its appearance in the European Cup. Larsson led the team to a 5:0 slaughter of Bulgaria. Larsson himself scored two goals. Ibrahimovic and Ljungberg also scored in this battle.
Italy, the top favorite in the same group, was shocking, ending 0:0 with Denmark.
Although before the game, coach Trapattoni declared that Italy was unprecedentedly united.
However, conflicts within Italy have emerged. Gattuso disdains Zanetti's competition, and Fiore questions Camoranesi's choice of nationality for betraying his birthplace. In addition, Del Piero is used to getting lost in competitions. It seems that
The mighty Italy was struggling.
On the third day after the first game between England and France, the entire England team set off from Lisbon to Coimbra. The European Cup schedule was tight and the schedule was extremely annoying, because after this second game, England had to return home again.
The advantage of going to Lisbon to play the third group stage game is that it is more conducive to preparation and everything will be familiar. The disadvantage is that playing both ends of the game will inevitably feel a bit unnecessary. If we play two consecutive games in Lisbon, regardless of the order, this is probably the most efficient in terms of efficiency.
OK.
Coimbra is a famous historical and cultural city in Portugal. The city surrounds the University of Coimbra, the second oldest university on the Iberian Peninsula. This institution has a history of more than 500 years, so the city is also called "
"City of Students", it's a pity that England is not here to travel. In this slightly retro-style city, they stayed in a hotel and trained on the field, ignoring what was going on outside the window.
There are only four groups in the European Cup. There are only a few strong teams that will qualify. Aldridge led by example and did not waste time. Naturally, he took the time to pay attention to the performance of the other strong teams in the group.
The four teams in Group D made their final appearance on this day.
The Czech team led by Nedvěd was almost upset in the first game of the group.
Their opponent was Latvia. Until the 70th minute of the game, Latvia still led 1:0.
The Czech team entered the European Cup with an offensive football style and wanted to make a name for themselves, so Latvia's goals need not be guessed: counterattack.
However, Latvia seemed immature after all, and after resisting for 70 minutes, it was finally unable to withstand the powerful firepower of the Czech team.
The Czech team equalized the score in the 73rd minute and completed the reversal in the 85th minute. They fired 27 shots in the game and Latvia failed to upset the score in the end.
In this three-point land of Europe, every strong team has some troubles, such as the German team and the Dutch team that came out in the finale. Where did the Dutch team's uncrowned king come from? The German team deserves a lot of credit.
Known as 30 years of unresolved hatred!
As a result, the German team, which was struggling, was finally defeated by Ruud Ruud, who was riding alone as the savior. The two teams drew with one point each. In this group of three strong players, the Czech team took the lead in taking the lead.
Compared to other groups, Aldridge is definitely focused on the Group A matches the most.
Because whether England qualified first or second in the group, the teams they encountered after qualifying must be from Group A.
The second match day of the group stage begins immediately, and there will be no game break in the middle.
Aldridge attended the press conference after leading the team's training that day.
When asked by reporters about his anger after the war between Britain and France, he did not avoid the topic and responded bluntly.
"The European Cup matches are played day after day, and the group stage of the same team is to play 3 games in 8 days, with only 3 days of rest in between. On the first day we have to recover and rest, and the next day we have to run
Go to another city and have to do all the preparations on the third day! I think the mentality of the England players is a bit impetuous. We are the World Cup champions, but that is in the past
Yes, and we defeated the defending champion France, what does it mean? Does it mean that we win the cup? Does it mean that we have ended all the games? No! If we waste time celebrating and be complacent, how can we go further?
Far? I have to wake up the players, beat France, we got three points, that's it, there is no other meaning."
"Is there any conflict between you and England captain Beckham?"
"David and I have known each other for almost ten years. He is now the captain of the England team. This is not an easy job. I have high expectations for him, so I put forward more stringent requirements. He will understand. Now
All is well with England internally and we are back on track."
Aldridge is not just talking about this. Southgate's injury and Aldridge's anger seemed to be an opportunity, which sounded the ideological alarm for the whole team, allowing them to calm down and face the future games down-to-earth.
, the whole team’s condition is back to what it was when competing in the World Cup.
When talking about his opponent in the second game, Aldridge was full of praise.
"The Swiss team has an exciting future. Two years ago, they won the championship in the U17 European Youth Championship and achieved a top ranking in the U21 European Youth Championship in the same year. We also saw it on the Champions League stage.
Clubs from Switzerland like Basel are beginning to perform. This is the progress of Swiss football. I am not saying that England will be afraid of Switzerland, but I want to express
Swiss football is determined to catch up and enter the top ranks. This is something that English football deserves to learn from and pay attention to, because we now have a group of very good players. However, as a country with a history of hundreds of years of football development, the UK
The next generation of football is worrying, and the decline in England's competitiveness in the European Youth Championships at all levels is a dangerous sign."
After the pre-match press conference, Aldridge returned to his hotel in Coimbra to watch the Group A match.
Spain played a very good game on the surface, because Spain was delicate and gorgeous, and pursued the offensive. Joaquin's breakthrough on the wing was unmatched. Morientes' tactical effect was very obvious, but the Greek side was very dull and very boring.
Dull!
In the whole game, there was only one time, the only time that the attack looked threatening. As a result, the Greek team equalized the score and Spain's three-pointer flew away!
The score of 1:1 remained until the end.
Spain and Greece are tied on 4 points.
After the game, the Spanish media criticized Seth as a coward. When he needed 3 points, he substituted Raul and lacked the courage to burn the boat.
Most people are still optimistic, because as long as Spain gets 1 more point, they will advance to the knockout rounds.
Portugal was in danger. After losing and basically eliminated, they calmly defeated Russia with two goals.
This group has become an unexpected group of death.
The first team to go home in the European Cup was born only on the fifth day after the start of the game.
Russia. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
