"Beckham scored from a free kick! The Swiss team suffered another heavy blow before the end of the first half!"
Beckham was promoted to the first captain, and this goal can more or less alleviate the doubts from the outside world.
When Aldridge made Beckham the vice-captain of the Three Lions, Fleet Street was quite critical of his decision, but both sides of the debate had their own reasons.
Those who support Aldridge believe that Beckham had a poor relationship with England fans at the time and even had conflicts with fans when they were defeated in the last European Cup.
Those who oppose Aldridge believe that Beckham is the number one star of the England team, and the appointment of Southgate is also suspected of "nepotism".
Almost four years have passed since Beckham took over the captaincy due to Southgate's injury. There are still pros and cons in Fleet Street discussing whether Beckham can serve as captain of the national team.
Those who support Beckham are just using the same rhetoric. Beckham is well-known, has seniority, and was a hero in winning the World Cup.
Opponents believe that Beckham spent a bad season in Real Madrid and was too commercialized. As the captain of the national team, can he lead by example and let the entire team focus entirely on the competitive field?
Aldrich did not participate in these debates and did not bother to respond to the outside world.
To put it bluntly, he will leave after this term and the European Cup. He will try his best to leave anything for the England team, but when it comes to captaincy and other things, he still needs to worry about him. He is simply more tired than a nanny.
Ah, the next national team coach can definitely appoint the national team captain himself.
The European Cup only lasts for three weeks, and one week has almost passed. There is still half a month left. Everyone is safe and sound. Concentrate on the European Cup. No matter how long it is, it will only take half a month. If not, it will be over in a week.
We have to go back home, so there is no point in arguing about that.
The first half ended with 2:0, and the two teams went through halftime. In the second half, the teams changed sides and fought again.
Swiss coach Kuhn felt cold all over in this sweltering midsummer day.
The England team's midfield was running smoothly, with quick transitions and clear offensive ideas. The Swiss team was in a panic in front of the goal. Even with a two-goal lead, the England team still showed no sign of stopping.
Kuhn is also old. He does not have the idea of "stepping on Aldridge's body to become famous" like French coach Santini. He just wants to achieve a satisfactory result in England, and his thinking is very simple and pragmatic:
Even if they are really upset against England, it does not mean that the Swiss team will become stronger.
But he was observing the 45 minutes of the first half and the 15 minutes of the second half, a total of one hour. He couldn't see any flaws in the England team that the Swiss team could concentrate on to attack fiercely.
The Swiss team's defense is also not very good. In the 8 qualifying games, they only kept a clean sheet in 2 games. Even Georgia was able to score goals at Switzerland's home court. The main defender Henchoz was unable to play due to injury, which further weakened the defense.
decline.
After all, England has adopted a "pseudo striker". Owen must have been focused on. Gerrard got a lot of opportunities, but his shots always missed the goal. He seemed to be too excited today, probably from the last game.
The excitement of being named the best in the game has not faded away. He always hits the goal with great force, which can scare people to death, but he just doesn't score!
As time passed in the second half, the Swiss team's fouls increased. In the 66th minute, Vicky received a second yellow card and was sent off. The Swiss team could only fight with 10 players.
Kuhn was forced to make a substitution, removing a forward and replacing him with a midfielder. Aldridge also replaced Irving out of the idea of protecting Irving.
"Owen didn't have much room to shine with the Swiss team's tight marking. This is England's Achilles heel. Their best striker must have space or a wonderful pass to support it in order to show magic, like in
Henry, who performed mediocrely in the French team, had more or less room in the forward line when playing against the French team, but the Swiss team did.
8 players defended in the dangerous zone, and marking Irving was the top priority. This resulted in Irving unable to find an opening when running. Instead, he became a containment point, creating space for other teammates to attack. Unfortunately, Gera
Germany's final goal today was not satisfactory. Now Sir Hall has replaced Owen, and the substitute is youngster Wayne Rooney."
After Rooney comes on the field, the Swiss team's defensive focus will be slightly dispersed and shifted more to Gerrard. After all, although Rooney is a Millwall player, he played for Everton in the past season.
Germany cannot be compared with Germany, especially in the last game, although Rooney also scored, the best player in the game was Gerrard.
In the second half of the game, Scholes' performance improved.
In the 77th minute, he sent a very penetrating through ball. Rooney got the ball in front of Yakin. He directly dribbled the ball and accelerated the direction to break through the Swiss team's defense. He penetrated into the penalty area and then kicked hard.
The shot rewritten the score to 3:0.
"Wow, England, which claims to have only one striker, actually has a striker scoring goals in consecutive games, and it's a super substitute, Wayne Rooney! If we only count his scoring efficiency, I'm afraid he can score in less than 20 minutes on average.
One goal! It seems he will be another super striker in England!"
Lu Xiaopang was very excited after scoring the goal. He ran to the sidelines and flipped sideways with his hands on the ground...
The slightly chubby face was round and round, and the youthful look on his face had not faded away. Aldrich looked at it from a distance, and for some reason, he wanted to laugh.
3:0.
Aldrich sighed, the overall situation was decided.
The morale of the Swiss team fell to the bottom, and they seemed vulnerable to England.
At the end of the period, Ashley Cole stepped in and assisted, passing the ball into the back of the penalty area. Gerrard outflanked him. It was an excellent opportunity, but he just headed the ball past goalkeeper Steele.
Fortunately, the ball that hit Steele's leg bounced out and was succeeded by Rooney.
"Wayne Rooney still maintains a scoring efficiency of one goal in 20 minutes! Is he lucky? This talented England striker scored three goals! He is the leading scorer in the England team. It is so surprising. Super Rooney!
Supernova!”
Rooney seemed to be crazy and roared at the camera from the sidelines. I don't know what he was venting.
At least the outside world doesn't understand.
Aldrich sat on the coaching bench and sighed deeply.
The Three Lions fans who came to the Coimbra Municipal Stadium to watch the game were satisfied. The state and strength shown by the England team seemed to be worthy of championships!
With 6 points in hand, the group qualified early!
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, Aldridge stood up, shook hands with Kuhn, and then walked to the tunnel without any pride in this victory.
If you feel excited about defeating Switzerland, wouldn't you be extremely happy to defeat other opponents in the knockout rounds?
In an interview, he said that this victory was of great significance and allowed them to relax their mind when approaching the last game. At the same time, they would be more fully prepared for the knockout rounds.
He was asked if he would ensure a draw in the last game and try to get first place in the group.
Aldrich shook his head and said: "We try our best and don't consider those factors. It's useless. The outside world will say that we have the conditions to select opponents for the knockout rounds. In fact, it is impossible because the chaotic situation in Group A is obvious to all. Greece and
Spain has 4 points and Portugal has 3 points. Who can now draw conclusions about the final A ranking?"
The reporter was stunned for a moment, thinking Aldrich was playing tricks on her.
That's right. It was a beautiful reporter interviewing him.
"Sir Hall, the last round of Group A was played one day before the last round of Group B."
Aldrich was also stunned for a moment.
What this beautiful reporter said is true.
Group A will finish first. Group B will play its final round one day later. Before the third round of Group B starts, the situation of Group A will be settled. By then, it will be clear who is first and who is second. England is possible.
Go pick your opponents.
But, that's theory.
Aldrich formed his troops and led the army for battle, and never made hasty decisions and preparations in one day.
So he still shook his head and said: "This is not playing a game. We only have 3 days. Do we still need to prepare two sets of preparation plans? As I said, we will not choose our opponents. It is the same as our style in the World Cup.
Whoever you meet is who you are. If you lose, you don’t deserve the championship. If you win, keep moving forward.”
Back in the locker room, Aldridge praised all the players appropriately, and then asked them to pack their bags. The team had to go back to the hotel to recover from fatigue after the game.
Just as they were on the bus back to the hotel, the match between France and Croatia started.
Aldrich didn't have time to watch this game. He only got the game report and the comments on the TV show immediately after the game.
2:2
Regardless of the situation of the French team, this game completely tore off the French team's glory as the defending champion.
After Croatia conceded the first goal due to an own goal, the Croatians stubbornly staged a comeback!
In the 64th minute of the second half, the biggest controversy of the game emerged.
Trezeguet stopped the ball with his hand when the opponent's goalkeeper kicked the ball towards him. An obvious handball foul escaped the referee's eyes. Then, the French team equalized the score and made no further achievements.
Croatians appear to be very brave.
After the game, French coach Santini was thankful that the French team got a draw, and at the same time, he implicitly warned the England team to have the dignity of World Cup champions and not to give up in the final round.
However, Croatia coach Balic generously forgave the referee's misjudgment, which was that Trezeguet scored a goal through a handball foul, and then made bold promises to defeat England in the final round and advance to the knockout rounds.
There is only one choice before Croatia: beat England and then advance to the knockout rounds.
The defending champion France team is in danger. Not only do they have to defeat their rival Switzerland in the last round, but they also have to hope that England does not lose to Croatia.
Six days after the opening of the European Cup, the first team to reach the top 8 was born.
England team!
The points ranking of Group B shows that the England team not only advanced to the top 8, but also secured the first place in the group.
England 6 points.
Croatia 2 points.
France scored 1 point.
1 point for the Swiss team.
This made Aldridge's post-game interview with a beautiful reporter discussing whether to choose an opponent a pastime for fans, who laughed it off. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
