Another night falls, and another team bids farewell to the European Cup.+
Nedvěd left the Dragon Stadium with even more regret than he did in 1996, because in 2004, he was like the sun sinking into the horizon now, instead of the rising sun eight years ago.
Collina is also gone, and the swansong of this international referee who set up a model monument for the refereeing community has come to an end.
Aldridge hugged every England player, and everyone was extremely excited, but he keenly felt that when hugging Rooney, Rooney seemed unwilling to say anything more to him, even if it was a icing on the cake applause.
Reluctant to open his mouth.
Emotional? Having a grudge? Stubborn?
Aldridge can't control that much. As long as Rooney doesn't break out in the team, Aldridge's time is very tight now. Besides, what has to be said is all said and done. He is just trying to do his best job.
In the post-match interview, reporters had many questions surrounding Rooney.
Super Rooney became famous all over the world.
"Wayne Rooney performed very well today. He met the team's expectations for him, but he is still young and his future is very bright. I don't think it was wrong to let him play as a substitute before. England has reached the final. Every time
Every player has contributed a lot. We are a collective, a team. Everyone has their own roles and responsibilities. If we try our best, we can unleash the most powerful combat effectiveness."
Whether it's Fleet Street or the media outside the UK, there will always be nonsense.
There are endless calls for Rooney to play the main role and start the game.
This already happened during the group stage.
However, Aldridge never wavered in the strategy of using Rooney, and Rooney performed well when he came off the bench. The better his performance, the more determined Aldridge became in his decision-making. It means that his idea is correct. On the contrary, if Rooney comes off the bench
After poor performance and a sluggish state, Aldridge will reflect on whether he should change his use of Rooney.
Rooney is an unfamiliar character to the overall picture of European football. He is only 18 years old. Even though he scored in the World Cup two years ago, it was an insignificant game. Later, there were scandals that overshadowed his green field.
light.
In the past two years, he has become famous in the professional arena at Everton, but he has not entered the European arena. He is a genius, but he is still an inconspicuous little player.
Just like Irving is a giant python in the eyes of his opponents. If he is not careful, he will be bitten by Irving, so he will naturally be extremely vigilant. As for Rooney, those who despise him will think he is an inconspicuous little earthworm, but when Rooney breaks out.
The opponent was hit hard and only then did he react. It turned out that this little earthworm was a cub of a mythical beast! The initial attributes were awesome!
The England team has very few aces, almost none, especially on the front line. If Aldridge doesn't hide one, he may lack aggressiveness in tactical changes.
Reporters want Aldridge to look ahead to the finals.
Aldrich had calmed down at this time and replied solemnly: "The England team has no time to celebrate this historic victory. Within 70 hours, we have to recover, return to Lisbon, rest, and prepare for the war.
Portugal is waiting for our final opponent in Lisbon 24 hours earlier than us. We have to race against time and there is no time for us to waste. The final is three days later. The goal is very clear. We don't want to leave any regrets after a long hard work."
After the post-game interview, Aldridge led the team back to the hotel for post-game recovery.
The coaching staff is working more seriously than before, and even Jenson simply put up a chair and sat on the stairs of the floor, taking turns monitoring the players' movements with other coaches. In addition to preventing the players from getting too excited and going out to the hotel for fun, he also
In order to respond to emergencies as soon as possible, if a player becomes unwell, they will respond as quickly as possible.
England advances to the European Cup final.
Countless people in England cheered for joy. In addition to the players' fame rising, many media also called for the knighthood of these important players in the England international team.
Like the new captain Beckham, the low-key Scholes, and Southgate who retired from the national team due to injury, etc.
Although the title will definitely not be the highest level like Aldrich's, it can at least bear the title of personal r.
The next day, after a night's rest, the England team returned to Lisbon from Porto and returned to the hotel where they stayed in Lisbon step by step. The team did not take a vacation and took the time to restore the team's physical fitness.
On this day, Aldrich also finalized the tactics for the decisive battle against Portugal.
Two years ago, the England team was monotonous, with one set of defense and counterattack all over the world.
Two years later, the England team showed more technical and tactical changes in the European Cup. The changes were unpredictable, stemming from the team's stability and tacit understanding, as well as the continuation of tactical consistency.
After spending a quiet day, the England team's players on the day before the final had a completely new mental outlook, looking energetic and full of fighting spirit.
At the pre-game preparation meeting, Aldridge announced the starting lineup. In the conference room, Rooney, who was originally calm, suddenly looked surprised.
First release!
Aldridge put Rooney in the starting lineup, and Irving came on the bench!
Rooney felt incredible. He thought he would have to sit on the bench for 70, 80, or even 90 minutes. Unexpectedly, Aldrich gave him the starting lineup in the finals!
Owen's expression remained as usual, without any change.
In the tracking test of the England team's physical condition, Owen is the worst.
In addition to his high number of appearances in Liverpool last season, another fatal factor is that at the age of 24, his physical fitness is obviously inferior to other players of the same age. This is a hidden danger of overwork and illness that cannot be changed in the short term.
It cannot be improved by taking three days of rest, a week, or even a month.
Since he started playing for Liverpool at the age of 17, he has played an average of more than 40 times in all competitions each season between the ages of 17 and 24. This long-term lack of rest and the lack of focus on strengthening his physical fitness in the early career trajectory have resulted in
When he reaches what should be the golden age of players, Irving's physique is far inferior to those players who have been properly cultivated, and he is faintly developing in the direction of a glass man.
Some glass people are born with fragile bodies.
Some are not.
But regardless of whether you are born with such a physical constitution, through reasonable acquired training and strengthening the body, you can improve it, reduce the probability of injury, and better extend your career life.
This is why Aldridge uses young players at Millwall more cautiously and step by step. Protecting players is an important consideration.
Of course, for family reasons, people like Cristiano Ronaldo have forced themselves to be stronger in order to play football since they were young. Others would relax even if they played football since they were young, but he still spends his time on exercising his body and skills.
His physical fitness is stronger than others, and he is also very upright.
Normally, you must know that before Cristiano Ronaldo was born, her mother almost chose to have an abortion because of family constraints. It is conceivable that Cristiano Ronaldo could not keep up with nutritional supplements in his earliest days, but he persisted in exercising hard
, creating a body and will like steel.
Because of this, for other players, the fatigue of resuming a game within three days is just right. For example, Lampard has no problem, and so does Beckham, but Owen is far behind.
Irving understood the reason why Aldridge put him on the bench. In the past few years, when the national team was gathering, Aldridge occasionally talked about this topic with Irving in private communications, hoping that he could rest more at the club.
Irving understood Aldridge's difficulties, but it was difficult to change anything. The club asked him to play. Did he tell the coach: I want to rest and I won't play today.
Moreover, he is still a young man with strong energy. He cannot feel it when he is over-consumed. If he waits until the accumulated accumulation of energy breaks out completely and then try to make up for it, he may not be able to make up for it.
This is just like what Chinese medicine says, disease comes like a mountain falling, and disease goes away like a thread spinning.
At this moment, the entire England team is united and united in thinking.
No one cares about what style the team plays, and no one thinks about how to make themselves more eye-catching.
Everyone has only one goal: championship!
As long as we can win the championship, anything will do!
So Aldridge's pre-match preparation meeting today went very smoothly. No players asked questions, and Aldridge didn't devise any new tactics. He just made requests. The players understood them and kept them in mind. There were almost 24
I'll take a few hours to digest it and go all out in the game tomorrow.
Arriving at the press hall for the pre-game press conference, Aldridge faced a room full of reporters, looking serious as he waited for questions.
A reporter first asked: "If you can lead the England team to win the European Cup, Sir Hall, you will add another very important championship record to your honor book, which will make you an unprecedented football coach, right?"
certainly!
However, Aldrich replied calmly: "Tomorrow's game is for the England team to fight for collective honor. The essence of football is: without a team, you have nothing. So, I hope your question is: What if
Tomorrow England can defeat Portugal and win the championship. What does this championship mean to England?"
The reporter who asked the question smiled and asked: "Can you answer it?"
"It will be the first time in the history of England that England has won the European Cup. It is a historic day for England fans all over the world. It also has special meaning for the England national team and the nation of England. But now I hope
Players, don't think about this before the game is over. Portugal has a strong lineup and they are playing at home. It will be very difficult for England to create history here, very difficult!"
England will try to make history.
Wouldn’t Portugal?
In terms of fighting spirit and will, neither team has an advantage. It does not mean that the England team has not won the European Cup and is full of ambitions. Subjectively, the fighting spirit and will are stronger than Portugal.
On the contrary, Portugal has the home advantage and has one more day off than England. Portugal will have an advantage over England. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
