Although Lampard missed a golden opportunity, Aldridge did not show any disappointment.
The offensive threat was revealed.
The quality of England's attack has improved.
While the English fans in the stands were still sighing, the Czech team's counterattack suddenly broke out.
Why did both Aldrich and Brückner think the game got a little out of hand?
It was intuitively reflected on the scene that both teams lacked two-point offense.
For example, if Cech blocks a ball from the outside, no English player can follow up and continue the attack or actively control it to pressure the opponent.
Owen moved to contain the opponent's back line in the penalty area, Ashley Cole provided support from the wing, Lampard and Gerrard completed the cooperation in front of the penalty area, and finally formed a shot in the penalty area.
And the players behind them who followed up were not as fast as the Czech team's midfielder to return to defense. Beckham's pure speed was not as good as Nedved, especially Nedved who did not take the initiative to mark Beckham.
His years of experience have made him a very strong defensive presence in the midfield.
Therefore, the Czech team was able to calmly control the outside placement. Jankulovski did not contribute much when defending just now, but after returning to his position, he helped the Czech team get the ball.
Immediately afterwards, the Czech team started attacking from his point, and Jankulovski needed to take a breath, so he could not dribble the ball forward. In that case, he would only slow down the Czech team's offensive speed.
So he passed the ball to Garacek.
To mark Garacek, the England team relies on Owen and Gerrard. It can be said that in cutting off the opponent's defensive arrangement, the defensive focus of the front line is to limit Garacek. The midfielder relies on four people to mark the opponent's three-man attack.
.
However, the ideal defensive arrangement does not necessarily have to be perfectly executed and successful every time, especially when the Czech team operates smoothly, is fast and does not make many mistakes.
Irving was no longer able to defend Garasek. Gerrard ran back and was approximately parallel to Garasek.
If you change to a defensive midfielder, his ball-handling ability may make mistakes and concede the ball when Gerrard presses.
However, Garacek is a midfielder and has a certain level of footwork. After taking possession of the ball, he suddenly stopped the ball and recovered it. After getting rid of Gerrard in an instant, he quickly made a long diagonal pass and kicked the ball to the right side of the frontcourt.
Ashley Cole had just sprinted back to his own half. He was surprised to see Boboski rushing forward and receiving Garacek's long pass.
The former Manchester United player used Ashley Cole's assist to advance into the space behind him, and the England team used the opponent's full-back to assist in the space behind him. The principle is exactly the same.
Bobosky made a 45-degree cross when Scholes came to help defend!
The ball was passed very strangely because the arc was very large.
The ball jumped into the air with strong rotation and drew a graceful trajectory.
Terry was marking the Czech team's high forward Jan Kohler, and as expected, the ball landed at the spot where the two of them were confronting each other.
The weird thing is that if Jan Kohler was heading the ball towards the goal, Terry was confident that he would win the duel, but when the ball circled around an arc and fell, it rotated outwards!
If Jan Kohler wants to header the ball, he has to take two steps back and then jump to head the ball. Otherwise, he will either not be able to exert his strength or head the ball deflection.
As long as he retreats, Terry will definitely squeeze out and win the confrontation!
Terry has this confidence!
But now the two of them are constantly fighting each other, neither of them withdrawing their strength or taking a step back.
Terry was surprised and confused. It was obviously impossible for the opponent to header the ball, and it was impossible for Terry to hit the ball.
Jan Kohler took off. At the moment of taking off, Terry did not jump. His eyes turned to Baros!
Because of the trajectory of the ball's arc, it is impossible for Jan Kohler to head the ball toward the goal. The impact has no angle at all!
But since Jan Kohler jumped up, it was natural that he couldn't stop the ball with his chest, he could only support and ferry the ball with his header!
Terry saw that Baros was about to move next to Campbell, and he had already made plans to help defend. Jan Kohler passed the header to Baros, and he rushed over and teamed up with Campbell to stifle the Czech team's offensive cooperation.
Judging from the distance, combined with the fact that it takes time for Baros to stop and control the ball, Terry remains calm and extremely confident.
Terry was surprised when Jan Kohler headed the ball over!
The direction of the opponent's header was not to Baros, but to the front of the penalty area!
The ball flew in the direction of Hargreaves, but behind Hargreaves, a swift figure rushed forward bravely, and when Hargreaves was caught off guard, he squeezed out of the way.
To the opponent, stop the ball with your chest and dump the ball in front of you.
From the rapid rotation and flying down, to the power exerted by Jan Kohler, and then to being stopped by someone's chest, the ball returned to a light and agile state, falling towards the ground at a slow speed.
The ball didn't hit the ground.
That man directly launched a world wave in the air!
The ball didn't spin this time, it was like a cannonball blasting through the air. The angle was neither too good nor too bad, but it was powerful and fast!
Robinson reacted and made a save. He pushed hard to lift his body off the ground. The palm at the end of his right arm tried to keep the ball away, but he felt desperate as soon as he left the ground.
Slow!
If the ball is slower, he can pounce on it, but it is him who is slower, not the speed of the ball.
boom!
The Dragon Stadium boiled instantly!
The fans of the Czech team jumped up to celebrate and cheered crazily, while the fans of the England team were like a bolt from the blue. Just ten seconds ago, they were sighing for Lampard's missed golden opportunity. The sighs lingered, and then,
There was only silence and shock.
In their eyes, the figure that broke through the gate of the Three Lions Army was extremely familiar.
Familiar flowing blonde hair.
A familiar way to break a door.
Familiar passion is wild!
Nedved!
After blasting a world-wide kick from the penalty area, Nedvěd ran to the sideline, roaring as he ran, waving his arms vigorously up and down in front of him.
The God of Steel War, Pegasus controls the world!
The symbol of Czech football in the post-Japanese era. A model of hard work for all football players in an era, Nedvěd changed the score on the field, boosted the morale of the Czech team, and made countless England fans start to worry. They began to pray.
When the opponent has a core figure like Nedved as the soul of the team, no one can help but worry!
"Nedvěd played a visually stunning game! In this game, the Czech team and the England team switched offense and defense too quickly! This goal process is the best explanation. Ten seconds ago, the England team almost broke through.
At the door of the Czech team, more than ten seconds later, the Czech team actually scored! At this time, the live broadcast camera was focused on the England team's coach Sir Hall. Before the game, a reporter asked him how to deal with Nedvěd, and he did not
Without giving a direct answer, he said: In my ten years of coaching, I have never said anything at a press conference to specifically restrict an opponent's player. Football is a team sport. In a sense, his words
It's correct, and maybe it's like what the newspaper comments ridiculed: Sir Hall doesn't know how to restrict Nedvěd, just like he couldn't stop Ronaldinho from breaking through the England team in the World Cup."
Aldrich remained unmoved.
Czech Republic scored.
Well, a goal was scored.
If England were still the England that used to play mainly on defense, Aldridge would be angry and panicked.
But now it's not necessary.
The Czech team has a fierce offensive. It is normal to score goals.
Hargreaves made a defensive mistake and was squeezed away by Nedvěd to seize the landing point. He successfully connected with Jan Kohler and successfully made the ball. The main reason was that the focus of Hargreaves' confrontation was on Rosicky, who happened to be there.
To his right rear, Nedvěd's movement came from his left rear. Hargreaves's focus was not on Nedvěd's side. If there was any mistake, it was to observe the surrounding situation.
not enough.
But the offensive team can theoretically move as they please.
So there should have been Scholes here. Unexpectedly, the Czech team's counterattack was too fast, and Ashley Cole hadn't come back yet. Scholes went to help defend the wings, making the midfielder area in the front and back of the penalty area slightly weak.
Aldridge did not blame Beckham. He would not unreasonably accuse players and ask Beckham to follow Nedved from the wing back to the center of the penalty area. The request was too harsh. If he did that, Aldridge would not agree.
, assuming Nedvěd does not score the goal and England plays a fast break, Beckham will be able to unleash the attack, because Nedved is far away and will definitely not be able to catch up with him.
Nedvěd's experience played a huge role and should be appreciated, but Aldridge had no time to think about it at this time.
He set his sights on Brückner.
I don’t know what adjustments this opponent will make after taking the lead.
Will you continue to attack?
If you don't attack, can you go back and slow down the pace to replenish your physical fitness?
Both he and Brückner understood that the further the game went on, the greater the England team's advantage would be because of physical fitness.
It takes a minimum of 3 days for professional players to recover their physical fitness for a game. Many European giants operate on multiple fronts. Without a strong team of players, they will never be able to last a full season. Like last season's Real Madrid, one lineup conquered the world.
When there was no problem with physical fitness, he could lead Valencia by 8 points. When there was a problem with physical fitness, a big collapse followed.
During the European Cup, continuous fighting requires higher physical fitness. It is also necessary to consider that the game time is in the midsummer season, which is completely different from the autumn and winter games. The average age of England's main lineup is in the prime of their careers. In addition, the schedule
In terms of strategic planning, when they reach the semi-finals, their advantages will be more obvious in the game.
Brückner was really thinking about letting the Czech team hold back at this time. At least, maintain the 1:0 score advantage until the end of halftime. In this way, if they mobilize during the halftime break, England might be able to get better and better in the second half.
anxious.
At this time, the game has reached 30 minutes, and 1/3 of the regular time has been completed.
Brückner's adjustment was not as expected by Aldrich. The Czech team's overall formation shrank back, and the assists of both defenders were weakened.
Aldridge made a steady gesture towards the English players on the field with his hands down, which was to stabilize their mentality.
The Czech team retreats back, so catching the defense and counterattack is the main offensive method.
If England's mentality is unbalanced, maybe after the first half, they can congratulate the Czech team for entering the final.
When the Czech team wanted to slow down the tempo, the England team had the upper hand in the midfield confrontation.
Scholes' offense began to be released. Since he was placed in the midfield and backfield by Aldridge, he was no longer the former attacking midfielder. Therefore, when attacking, the offense ended before he could run up. Now, the Czech team goes back
He needs the England team to attack more carefully, and his abilities can be fully utilized.
Although Rosicky is highly motivated and defends very hard, he is a bit brave. It is a bit difficult to stop Scholes.
Therefore, the Czech team's defensive problems are also more obvious. Nedvěd cannot let Beckham go, and Boboski has trouble marking Lampard. Scholes attacks forward very smoothly from the center, and then needs to be in the front waistline.
When he is doing detailed work, he will release the ball faster. As soon as he releases the ball, Lampard will move forward, with Bella on his side, Ashley Cole will take over from the left wing, and Gerrard and Irving will advance one by one.
With support from behind, England's offense was quite orderly and powerful.
The reason is also related to the fact that the defensive players of the Czech team are not top-notch. The two central defenders and the midfielder are barely top-notch in terms of defensive ability. However, in addition to their technical ability, their tenacious court style is a major advantage.
When the England team completed five attacks in the past 10 minutes, but the Czech team could not counterattack with quality, Brückner realized that he had made a mistake.
If the Czech team slows down the pace, then the control of the rhythm on the field will be in the hands of the England team. The England team can go as slow as they want, as fast as they want, and the Czech team will have to run behind the England team. This kind of consumption is also huge.
!
It was only when the game was out of control that even though the Czech team had to worry about their physical fitness in the second half, they still managed to keep up with the situation. If they seize the opportunity, they might be able to score another goal.
When Garacek fouled Scholes in the 41st minute, Beckham completed a high-quality set kick and was blocked by Cech. Gerrard then shot a supplementary shot but Bolff used his body.
Blocking the baseline, Brückner felt nervous and nervous, and he made another change.
This won't work!
Absolutely not!
There are dangers in the penalty area, and the England team lacks individual midfielders who can dribble and break through. If the Netherlands had beaten them like this, the talented players might have scored by overcoming one or two people.
The success against the Netherlands came from attacking and persevering in attacking without any concerns about physical fitness.
When playing against England, Brückner wanted to be comprehensive and considerate, but the reality before his eyes was that such a pursuit was greedy and insufficient.
Just like Aldridge's proactive change, which actually caused the Czech team to create a goal attack from the space behind Ashley Cole's assist, there is no strategy on the court that is completely beneficial, unless England is at least lower than the Czech team.
A third-tier team.
Brückner made a big wave of his hand and let the Czech team start the offensive again. He wanted to catch the opponent off guard. After holding on for 10 minutes, and then suddenly broke out, would England capsize?
Aldrich had a keen insight into the premise of the Czech team's formation and the running tendency of the full-backs. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, waiting for the Czech team to make adjustments!
As for how to make the final decision if there is an opportunity, Aldrich also has a clear idea.
