At halftime, Aldridge had nothing to say. The offense opened up the situation, leading the score by two goals. The opponent was not strong. If he changed to a stronger team, under the same situation, he would also emphasize the spiritual aspect.
Now, there is no need and no praise for the players.
When you play Albania, it's natural to win. If you lose, it's even more natural to spit on you.
Before the start of the second half, Aldridge walked into the court and sat on the coach's bench, drank some water, and calmly waited for the game to start.
Albania was two goals behind, and there was no point in defending. Their offensive enthusiasm increased slightly, but the result was disastrous.
This is also the limitation of a weak team. Once they lose the ball and fall behind, they can only give it a try. Self-consoling nonsense like losing a small amount should be considered a win. Put yourself in the shoes of the players on the field. What will they think? It's useless to attack at all.
If we don’t fight, we will be beaten for 90 minutes and then lose the game. We will say to the outside world: We lost less, but it is actually a victory...
Who is England's top star?
Baby.
In the first half, Albania made targeted arrangements and marked Beckham very hard.
However, in England's two goals, Beckham did not actually appear in the most threatening area of the offense. Instead, Lampard was more threatening on the other side.
Therefore, Albania's restrictions on Beckham decreased in the second half.
In the 52nd minute, there was no space in front of Lampard, so Bart handed the ball to Beckham. Beckham played 2-1 with Scholes and then advanced to the right side of the frontcourt. Before being approached by the defensive player, Beckham 45
Crossed.
Irving was in the middle of the penalty area to attract the defense, but the target was not at him. It was at the back point on the left side of the penalty area. Beckham aimed the pass at this point.
The opponent's defender jumped the ball. McManaman outflanked the ball from behind and fired with his right foot into the goal.
"Just six or seven minutes into the second half, England scored another goal. Beckham assisted, and McManaman scored from behind in the penalty area. The victory was sealed 3:0!"
Aldridge rested his chin on his hand and looked at the scene where the England players were laughing wildly and running to celebrate, with an unmoved expression.
As he said during training, if the England team wants to solve its weak attack, it must first have space. As long as they are not fighting in dense areas, they are still capable of smooth offensive coordination.
The inability to play well in the past was to some extent related to the rigidity of the offensive point. There was a lack of flexibility, just like the European Cup. Targeting Owen and Shearer basically took care of 70% of England's offense.
Eight minutes later, McManaman pulled the ball to the left and passed a defensive player of the opponent. After attracting two defensive players of the opponent, he reversed the ball and passed it to the left rib of the penalty area. Scholes got the ball forward and returned.
Knocking in the middle of the penalty area, Irving pushed the ball directly without stopping, and the ball rolled into the goal again.
"Hat trick! Irving performed a hat trick. McManaman, Scholes, and Irving worked together to create this ball. It's so exciting!"
60 minutes, four goals.
Aldridge stood up and asked Gerrard and Heskey to warm up. Then he walked to the sidelines, hoping to use this gesture to remind the players not to relax.
He is planning to stop, but that doesn't mean he can allow the players to relax.
Just as the substitutes were warming up, England scored again!
For a pure shooter like Irving, his ability to move away from the defense on the offensive end is the foundation. After all, he is not a forward who relies on physical confrontation. Flexible movement and excellent shooting skills are his capital to become a first-class striker and hit the world.
When the England team attacks from the midfield, has a sense of hierarchy when advancing, and can rely on his personal ability to tear apart a line of defense to create a local advantage, Owen's running ability has room to display.
In the 64th minute, Irving crossed from the right side of the penalty area to the left, received a short pass from Ashley Cole, spiked the ball, turned around and wiped out an opponent's defender who was rushing forward, and then volleyed the ball from a small angle.
into the goal.
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable Irving! Big four! There are more than 25 minutes left in the game. How many more goals can Irving score? How many more can he score? I can't stop!"
Irving himself couldn't believe it. He ran to the sidelines and rubbed his hands in celebration at Ashley Cole who was rushing toward him.
The fans at the scene were jubilant, and some Liverpool fans were almost crazy with joy.
But Aldridge just smiled and clapped, and then replaced him.
"Hall replaced Irving, the biggest hero of the game, with Heskey. There was thunderous applause at Wembley. We saw a large number of fans in the stands standing up and applauding Irving. This is a day he will remember for his whole life, a game for the national team.
Scored four goals, which is an amazing achievement. Also off the field was Beckham. He performed well on both offense and defense today. He made several key interceptions, passed the ball to instigate the offensive, and assisted. He replaced him.
It’s youngster Gerrard.”
Aldridge stood on the sidelines to greet the two heroes and stretched out his right palm. When Irving passed by, he slapped him hard, which made Aldrich's palm hurt, but he had to endure it and his expression could not change at all.
I thought Xiaobei could be gentler, but in the end, Xiaobei also slapped me hard.
Aldrich endured the pain without changing his expression, put his hands behind his back naturally, and quietly rubbed the palm of his right hand with his left hand.
He thought no one would notice, but who knew that the damn live broadcast party had set up multiple camera positions at Wembley. It was England's territory, and the coach was a big name. Naturally, there were cameras in the front, back, left, and right of the coach's area filming all the time.
When the live broadcast party discovered Aldrich's small movements from the live broadcast footage from the side and behind, they immediately edited it and inserted it into the live broadcast screen.
The pictures are also very coherent and narrative.
Irving and Beckham slapped two palms in succession, and Aldrich secretly rubbed his palms behind him... Unknown to the fans at the scene, many fans watching the live broadcast of the game burst out laughing, especially at the end of this scene,
A close-up of Aldrich's face with a calm expression was also given.
Aldridge stood for two minutes, and the pain in his palms no longer stopped. He turned around and walked back to the coaching bench to sit down. He noticed that Janson and Klinsmann had strange smiles on their faces, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Klinsmann came over and whispered: "We are talking that maybe the scandal between Millwall and Irving will appear again tomorrow."
Aldrich thought about it and realized that it was not impossible.
Under his leadership, Owen scored four goals in his first national team game. Fleet Street will definitely take the opportunity to build hype.
Aldridge turned back and continued watching the game, not thinking about that kind of thing. Anyway, Millwall didn't need a pure shooter like Irving.
Besides, Irving can score 4 goals today, which is a shame. When it comes to playing against top teams, Aldridge will be satisfied if he can score 4 goals and maintain an average of 0.4 goals per game.
Albania was given 5 goals. At this time, they had no energy at all. The defeat was determined and they lost the momentum of attack. England also stopped when it was good and played less aggressively and more patiently.
The routine remains unchanged, and the attack still relies on flexible insertion of points to provide changes.
When the final whistle sounded, the number on the scoreboard was 6:0.
At the last moment, Lampard scored a long-range goal. His first goal for the national team.
The two sides were separated, and this game was a rough one. Aldridge couldn't see the pros and cons of Lampard and Gerrard playing together. The advantages couldn't be seen, and the disadvantages couldn't be revealed either.
There are not many opportunities for him to experiment, not to mention that if Beckham has to play, only one of the two can start.
At the end of the game, Wembley burst into loud cheers.
Aldridge stood up and walked to shake hands with the Albanian coach, then walked to the tunnel and clapped to thank the fans for their support.
He first went to the locker room and waited for about ten minutes before all the players returned to the locker room.
Facing these national players who were beaming and excited after the big victory, Aldridge said with a smile: "You did a good job today. Well, the nearly two-week national team training and competition cycle is temporarily over. We have a good one."
start, but the situation is still very serious. No one
We don’t want to go to the World Cup, and no one wants to play in the play-offs. Therefore, in order to qualify for the group, we still have a long way to go. The games must be played one by one. You can leave later and report back to the club. We
See you next month. I hope you stay healthy and stay healthy.
As for the competitive state, there are some words that I don’t want to reiterate again as the coach of the national team, because in the club, your head coach will definitely instill it in you again and again, or tell you in a warning way. Please understand the position of the coach. We do not
Likes, dislikes and prejudices, everything is for your betterment. What I want to say is, healthy and good living habits and improved professional quality will help you reach a higher peak in your career and extend your career longer.
,Okay, the national team will be disbanded on the spot, see you in a month."
After Aldrich said this, he turned around and walked out.
"Coach, please wait."
Beckham suddenly stopped him, and Aldridge turned around in confusion, only to see Irving, Beckham, McManaman, and even the usually dull Scholes smiling.
For those who don’t know, I thought they had some ideas about Aldrich’s anus.
"Thanks."
In the locker room, the words of all the players on the team sounded in unison. The voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a shocking and penetrating power.
Aldrich raised his lips slightly, turned around, opened the door and left.
This group of national players has completely healed the pain of the European Cup today and swept away the months-long haze.
They came here with expectations, confusion, or numbness. Within half a month, their mentality suddenly changed.
They are now happy, excited and full of confidence, and the vitality brought by young people has also swept away the old age and death in this team.
Aldridge's role is very intuitive, and coaching the national team must also be like this. It must have immediate results, which is essentially different from coaching a club.
The club can have more patience. Half a year, or even a season, can be regarded as a cycle of adaptation, adjustment, reconstruction, etc.
What about the national team? Two years is a competition cycle. As soon as each competition ends, a new competition qualifier begins. Where is the time and environment to rebuild, slowly adjust, and debug the team?
No!
A coaching change must have the effect of a knife change.
Aldridge took over the team at a time when the national team was in its worst situation.
From another perspective, it is easier to highlight his influence on the team's transformation and to win over people's hearts.
The worst situation, but also the most wonderful prospect.
Friendly match against Albania, two games. As long as Albania is defeated, Aldridge can get through the questioning phase in the early days of taking office.
Fortunately, Albania is weak.
The national team will still play friendly matches next month. This year's group stage of the World Cup European Qualifiers, England's schedule has ended, and the next round of guest games in Greece will be in March next year.
So this is actually a wonderful schedule, that is, the external environment.
As the qualifiers go on, England will become stronger and stronger. In addition to mature techniques and tactics, the growth of some young players will also improve the team's overall strength.
