Beckham saw that Vicente wanted to speed up after being trapped in a double team, so he took advantage of the situation and rushed forward. However, he still kept in mind the defensive points taught by the coach in training when he advanced.
The attack with the highest threat value is still in the middle, with the goal as the center, and a fan area of 30 yards outward, trying its best to keep the opponent away.
Putting him in his position, Beckham can let Vicente pass, but he can never let Vicente cut inside into the middle. It's okay to let him go down. There is Neville over there.
Beckham kept his focus and cut inside, and then pressed forward. Vicente accelerated and moved the ball forward. As soon as he moved forward, the distance between the ball and the ball was slightly away. Neville saw that the opponent would speed up and touch the ball next time.
With the rhythm, Vicente successfully intercepted the ball as he moved forward from the wing.
When Beckham saw Neville successfully steal the ball, he immediately asked for the ball. There was no one around him to mark, and his good friend decisively passed the ball to him.
After taking the ball and turning around, Beckham observed the situation. Xavi moved in front of him, seemingly to block his path forward or out of the ball. After losing the ball, Vicente immediately counterattacked and rushed towards Beckham with long strides.
The observation was only for a moment. Beckham immediately passed the ball diagonally to the left. As expected, Lampard stepped forward to catch the ball, then dribbled the ball forward, and when he reached the midfield line, he passed the ball to Scholl who ran out of space.
Si, Jiangtou took the ball with his back and kicked the ball across the right wing. Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Neville came up from the side and dribbled the ball forward quickly.
"England's counterattack looks smooth!"
The England commentator at the scene sighed.
Neville seemed to be going all the way to the dark side, dribbling the ball forward. When Spain's defensive focus shifted to his side, Neville began to choose to play the ball.
McManaman, Scholes, and Beckham behind him on the left are all out of the ball, but if it is passed to Beckham, it is equivalent to a back pass, and the offense will become a positional battle.
Therefore, he passed to McManaman. The latter and Scholes seemed to have overlapping movements, both on the right side of the center, but the two also attracted the attention of Spain's midfielder and defender.
The ball only stopped at McManaman's feet for less than a second, and then he passed the ball to the left side. There, Lampard, who rushed up from behind, was unmarked and already had a long shot after getting the ball.
shooting space.
Spain's defense seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, and there was clearly a gap. Just now, the center of gravity was on the right, and now it was tilted to the left. During the swing, Scholes, who found every opportunity, stepped forward. Lampard distributed the ball and passed to Spain.
Coles.
England fans were excited. Looking at the overall situation, they could clearly see that Lampard attracted the attention of the opponent's central defender, Heskey attracted the attention of the other opponent's central defender, and Scholes moved forward from the middle.
With his movement, he got rid of Alberda, got the ball, and moved forward. It must be a one-way goal!
Scholes did receive the ball and took a step diagonally, but this time it was a bit too big and the shooting angle was not very good, especially when it was not conducive to him swinging his legs to exert force. However, the ginger head noticed that Hierro gave up his goal.
Heskey was rushing toward him, so he knocked the ball across the ball and passed it between Hierro's legs to Heskey.
Heskey, faced with this golden opportunity that made Spanish fans' hearts jump into their throats, kicked away with a heavy kick...
There was a huge sigh, probably from the England fans collectively.
Aldrich put his hands on his hips and looked normal.
Inside, I was sighing.
Black Panther Huskey has the body, the speed, can play the ball, and can cover.
Apart from his ability to seize opportunities which is unflattering, he has no obvious shortcomings.
"What a great opportunity! What a better opportunity than a penalty kick! If it had been Irving, this goal would have definitely been scored! Hall should be regretting now, why didn't Irving? Why? Yes, why? But this time,
The offense still makes our eyes shine. England launches the attack from the backcourt, through smooth ground passing, starting from Beckham, passing through, Lampard, Scholes, Neville, and finishing.
Right to left, left to right, and in the dangerous area in front of the penalty area, Neville passed to McManaman, Lampard, Scholes, Heskey, another attack from right to left and then to the right.
Advancing the route and passing it back and forth like this is very effective in tearing apart Spain's defense and creating chaos for the opponent. Hall's national team debut really allowed us to see what he brings to the England team."
The popular understanding is that the straight line between two points is the closest.
But on the football field, it is not impossible to attack from the backcourt and directly find the most forward point. But when modern football is played this way, the success rate is obviously very low, especially in the competition between top teams. England's traditional long pass and lob are also impossible.
It is this idea to use the most direct way to attack the most threatening area, that is, the opponent's penalty area. If you want to make a difference on the international stage with this move, it is very difficult these days, even if you bring together the top players today.
Players who play like this have no future.
Pushing on the ground is the most effective, otherwise, organizational players are worthless.
However, the difficulty of advancing on the ground lies in the fact that the connecting point is targeted during the advancement process, or the rhythm is slowed down, allowing the opponent sufficient time to set up defenses.
England's counterattack just now did two things very well. When advancing, every kick of the ball is almost forward. The ball runs faster than people. Even if it does not go in a straight line, it ensures that the opponent cannot have any chance during the advancement process.
There is plenty of time to adjust the defense line. The second point is the coordination of passing and running, diagonally back and forth from left to right.
In the process of advancing, the impact and connection points created by Lampard and Neville were something Spain probably did not expect, especially since Beckham did not pass the half-court after the ball was released, and Vicente and Xavi both
They were briefly surprised, and by the time they realized that Neville was approaching at high speed to respond, it was already too late to return to defense.
The most powerful thing about Millwall's offensive trident is that the winger suddenly cuts inside during the attack, like two sharp knives stabbing into the opponent's ribs, causing a fatal attack.
England's last attack on the offensive end was to do the opposite. The forwards and back-row offensive players were like two shields, attracting the opponent's two central defenders away, tearing open the space in the penalty area, and the two forwards
Players with one of the waist or further behind are the sharp blades that can kill in one blow.
Just now, Lampard and Heskey had actually completed the role of the shield in attracting attention, but Scholes failed to adjust his shooting opportunity. Although he had a better chance of passing it to Heskey. But if
If the offense could be smoother, Scholes should have directly got the ball forward, adjusted and then shot. Unfortunately, he missed the ball too much.
Aldrich was pacing the sidelines, still feeling unhappy deep down.
It's not that the team didn't score, it's that Spain disrupted his plan.
The first thing a new official wanted to do when he took office was to temper his defense first, but it backfired.
The more Camacho watched the game, the more frightened he became.
Today he sent many new players to play, which is a certain risk. But taking risks in friendly matches is more cost-effective than taking risks in the main qualifying matches.
Putting aside the expectations of Fleet Street and English fans for Aldridge, the media from other mainstream European football powers have mixed evaluations of Aldridge taking over the national team.
There are many people who look down on him. This is not because of jealousy, but because of many theoretical basis.
Aldridge is good at using his own people, players he is familiar with and has cultivated. This can be seen from the number of times Millwall has bought famous stars in the transfer market.
In the England national team, none of the players who can play an important role on the offensive end were trained by Aldridge. He knows everything about them, but how to use them is a question.
Coupled with the outside world's analysis of Millwall's success, the most intuitive winger on the offensive end makes the whole of Europe fearful. However, does England have a winger?
No!
In the final analysis, you have to win or score goals, and the offense must have a certain power. England's offense is unconvincing, and Aldridge does not have the right players. Based on the club's record alone, it is wishful thinking that he can make the England national team change.
Strong? That would be too arbitrary.
Naturally, other European media are also paying attention to this game to see what Aldridge will do after taking over an unfamiliar team in a short period of time.
Camacho first had personal experience.
On the scene, Spain's advantage was gradually lost, and the attack fell into a quagmire before the England penalty area. As for England's counterattack, with a large space, their forward attacks frequently created threats, but that was
The final kick is a little lacking in heat.
Spain's defensive strategy of restricting attacks from the midfield was completely unable to prevent England's offensive points.
Beckham, Lampard, Neville, and Ashley Cole, these four can all rush forward, but Spain doesn't know who is going to rush forward. In fact, the England team itself doesn't know either. After all, the situation is different every time they attack.
They are all different. Whoever is in a better position will have a smoother path forward. Whoever rushes forward and is the first to rush forward will also have teammates on the other side who are also responding to rush forward. This is progress.
It is one of the manifestations of flexible changes in offense. In the frontcourt, there is no doubt that Scholes' ability to move and respond, and he does a very good job in series offense. McManaman has a wider range of activities than Scholes. Wherever there is space, he can
Just run wherever you go. When the offense advances to the penalty area, McManaman will enter the penalty area to form a threat to the goal, or attract the attention of defensive players to cover other teammates.
Camacho was considering whether to make large-scale substitutions in the midfield to reverse the situation. Spain even had a sense of being overpowered at home.
Aldrich stood on the sidelines with a frown.
Weird!
There is obviously more space for counterattacks and smoother coordination, but they just can't score!
He knew that there was still room for improvement in the offense, but today he was caught off guard against Spain and failed to score a goal, which made him feel speechless.
He turned back to Boas and asked: "How many shots did we take?"
"11 times, 7 shots hit the target!"
"How many long shots?"
"Three shots, two of them hit the goal range."
Aldridge didn't think about it carefully. It seemed that although Irving's ability to play the ball on the front line was not satisfactory, as far as this group of players was concerned, Irving was the most powerful as a forward.
Offensive attack, fighting back and forth, still needs the final word. Heskey is really a bit hopeless. Scholes and McManaman are not the official shooters after all. Lampard, Beckham
Long-range shots cannot become a regular scoring method.
Aldridge looked back at the bench, looking for some opportunities for Alan Smith in the second half.
At this moment, the members of England's coaching staff all smiled and stood up to applaud.
Aldridge reacted immediately and turned around to see, sure enough, England had scored!
Isn't it?
In my first A-level international match after taking office, I didn’t even witness the scoring process for the first time!
McManaman was already jogging and high-fiving his teammates in celebration. He was the center, and it seemed that he scored the goal.
Aldridge clapped, his expression slightly better, but not excited. He just wanted to wait until the celebration period passed before asking his assistant.
How did this ball enter the Spanish goal? (To be continued...)
