"What a wonderful goal! David Beckham scored from a long shot! This is definitely another classic goal in his career! The perfect combination of arc and speed, he beat the goalkeeper from the moment he shot.
Misjudgment, he thought the same as us mortals, the ball must have been kicked away, but Beckham has the magic power to make the football circle and finally fly into the goal! Beckham's goal helped England lead by two goals, and England
One step closer to scoring precious 3 points!”
A red card in the 1998 World Cup and a conflict with fans during the 2000 European Cup defeat. Beckham was still at the forefront of the criticism from England fans before Aldridge took over the national team.
But after Aldridge took office, the focus shifted. At the same time, the England national team took on a new look. Beckham served as the team's vice-captain. With this wave of rising popularity of the national team, the conflict between him and the fans began to weaken. Now there is progress.
The England fans who were present cheered for him, and the heartthrobs also ran wildly to celebrate with excitement. He came to the sidelines and opened his arms to attract everyone's attention.
Aldridge lowered his head on the sidelines and waved a single fist in front of him, completely calming down.
Falling behind by two goals, the Greek team's momentum will be suppressed to the bottom. Even if they continue to counterattack with all their strength, they may lose their minds.
After all, the current Greece is not the mythical team that Rehagel forged with strict tactics and discipline that can win the European Cup to the end!
England's commentators were full of praise for the national team's performance today.
"The current England, under the guidance of Hall, has brought out all its strengths and advantages. Macca's surprise attack ability has driven Owen's finishing ability. Scholes' organization in the frontcourt and the threat of scoring goals in the back, as well as on the outside
Lampard, Beckham's long-range threat! This is still a growing team, and we are very much looking forward to how this England will perform when the World Cup comes."
The English people feel good about themselves and can't help but show it. The World Cup qualifiers have not even been finished yet, and they are already thinking about the World Cup. It seems that in their eyes, there is no need to worry about England qualifying.
Aldrich had just breathed a sigh of relief when the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Greece has completely shed all their psychological baggage. Every player is as crazy as a demon. The formation is so chaotic that it is impossible to analyze it rationally. The fighting actions have reached the critical point inside and outside the rules. In other words, their fouls. The referee issued
It doesn’t matter whether the cards are played or not!
Press like crazy and attack like a devil!
Completely out of line with common sense.
There was chaos. The Greek head coach waved his arms and told the players to attack, attack, attack!
As for how to attack, maybe he doesn't know.
It relies on passion and unyielding fighting spirit.
Anyway, Aldrich couldn't see the Greek tactical routine, which was to swarm in and create chaos. The tactical routine that was supposed to perform its duties became irregular and made people confused.
He just wants to beat the old master to death with random punches!
The Greek fans in the stands were moved from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the players' spirit of not giving up. The Athens stadium erupted with unparalleled cheers, shaking the sky!
It was as if the gods from Greek mythology were looming over this stadium to watch the game! The momentum was overwhelming!
Aldridge was horrified on the sidelines, shocked by the stadium's sudden reversal of aura.
1:0 is not safe, everyone knows it.
2:0 is the real danger!
Even Aldridge had relaxed mentally before and felt that the game should be won smoothly. What about the players on the field?
Most of them also believe that Greece has been completely defeated. As long as they don't take it lightly, then they will get three points!
However, this is Greece after all, it is Athens, the place where myths were born. The Greeks did not give in. Coupled with the cheers of the fans in the stands, the roar of the crowd was like a stormy wave hitting everyone's heart.
The Greek players on the field seemed to have transformed into those fierce and fearless warriors thousands of years ago when they were fighting against the Persian army that was ten times stronger than themselves.
At that time, the alliance between Greece and Spartan warriors relied on the square shield phalanx, which made its debut in history, to defeat the invading army of the Persian dynasty in an overall battle.
Now, as if traveling through a millennium, the Greek players seem to be advancing as a whole, but it is more like a team that has both an impact and a surprise attack point.
The most important thing is that it achieved the effect of catching England off guard!
"Greece attacked continuously! Shot! Seaman blocked the ball, Greece made a supplementary shot, hit Ferdinand and bounced out of the bottom line, corner kick!"
Greece won a corner kick. Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of compatriots, they took a corner kick that was not of high quality and landed in the front spot. A Greek player grabbed the front spot and shook his head to direct the ball toward the goal.
direction, after a header relay, there was a leak in the defense of England's corner kick. A Greek player jumped high and hit his head next to Lampard. The ball went straight to the goal. Seaman made a subconscious save and returned in vain.
The ball flew into the goal, slid off the net and rolled out on the turf.
The Greek player picked up the ball and ran towards the backcourt.
The stands of the Athens Stadium were filled with excitement, and the cheers were as loud as thunder, just like the praise of the gods!
"Greece did not give up! Did not give up! They worked tirelessly to get a goal back and scored the ball through a corner kick. 1:2. There were 25 minutes left in the game. They had every chance. As long as they did not give up, the final result of this game would be
Still full of suspense!”
Seeing Greece score, Aldridge sighed softly.
The worst happened.
Greece's momentum is high. If it persists for two or three minutes without scoring, this momentum will naturally leak out, because the game has reached the critical point of the players' physical fitness. At this time, the players need mental support. If there is no goal, most Greek players will
It may be accompanied by a decrease in physical fitness, which may affect fighting spirit, but if you score a goal, the effect is exactly the opposite!
It's hard to criticize England's corner kick defense for problems. No team's set piece defense will never concede the ball. This link has always been full of uncertainties. First of all, one's own defense is passive. It is to limit the opponent, while the opponent's set piece attack will have
Is it a fixed routine? Changes are full of variables in every player's movement. Secondly, Aldrich
The defensive arrangement of set pieces is to add marking in the area. Players with height, confrontation, and header advantages guard the key areas, and then other defensive players use judgment to mark the opponent. This is still a theory. In fact, the opponent
Attack points may not be evenly distributed, and the quality of set kicks is also a key factor.
The biggest variable in this lost ball was the first alley-oop. No one expected that the quality of the opponent's corner kick was so poor. It landed at the front point outside the small penalty area. At that position, the teammates had almost no other choice. They could only use extremely difficult shots.
A high header was deflected, but Greece won.
After losing the ball, the English players subconsciously looked to the sidelines immediately, and the focus of their attention was Aldridge.
They were really blinded all of a sudden!
The score was still ahead, but Greece's "violent" style of play resulted in a goal, which shook their hearts.
Are we unable to guard against the opponent's playing style?
If the opponent can score goals just by relying on their fighting spirit, why do we bother playing football with our brains on the field?
Perhaps when Aldridge emphasized tactical discipline, he over-instilled in them that they need to use their brains to play football. They need to be more flexible, which indeed suppresses the players' own motivation.
For example, Lampard and Beckham. In order to achieve a balance between offense and defense, only one person can be at the forefront. When they get excited during the game, they need to use the coach's instructions to suppress them, stay calm, and avoid destroying the tactics set by the coach.
system.
This situation is not the norm, but it is special when it comes to the England national team. Other top teams include Portugal's Figo and Rui Costa, France's Zidane, Brazil's Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc.
Wait, these strong team players have a lot of freedom. When they get excited and play "violently", they actually show unparalleled talent.
But what can England's players do if they are too excited? Due to their technical weakness in ball control, their overexcitement is nothing more than a mistake, which in turn leads to being used by their opponents to counterattack. Therefore, Aldridge must tactically
Get started, rather than expecting players to be brilliant.
World-class players can single out the defense with their feet, can England's players do it? If not, then use their brains!
When the players on the field looked towards the sideline, Aldrich knew that they were confused, struggling, and looking for a solution.
Aldrich never expected that this game in Greece would be in such a dangerous situation.
If this game is eventually equalized or reversed with a 2:0 lead, the authority he established in the national team and the two-way mutual trust between the coach and the players will be gone in an instant!
What was ruined was not only a game, but also past efforts and the cornerstone of the future.
Is Athens, home of the gods, digging a grave for Aldrich?
Not only were the players looking to Aldridge for answers, but the live broadcast cameras were also focused on him.
Everyone can see that England's momentum in the away game is obviously not as good as that of Greece.
Aldrich held his head high and his face was indifferent. He put his left hand in his pocket and waved his right hand heavily from above. He pressed down with one palm and remained motionless for a long time.
stable!
To put it bluntly, if we retreat now, England's momentum will be completely suppressed by Greece, and there will be no possibility of improvement. Whether it can hold on will be a big question.
If it is an attack, it may actually increase the risk of conceding another goal as Greece's momentum surges.
Taking a step forward or taking a step back is not a good choice.
Now, the best option is to hold on!
Stay calm in the midst of chaos, this is the style of a strong man!
On the field, the England players saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines without any panic. The right hand pressing down seemed to contain a magic power, which quickly stabilized their mentality, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and implemented the coach's tactical arrangements.
When the team resumed kick-off, Aldrich raised his eyes slightly and looked at the night sky of Athens.
Thank you Greece!
Bao Jianfeng has been tempered. Even though he has played against Spain and Brazil in friendly matches, the friendly matches are still training in nature, and the main match is against Albania. Now he meets Greece, a second-rate team with some strength. The opponent's fighting spirit bursting out in desperation is actually
It can be described as the courage of an ordinary man, but it is this courage that can hone the England national team.
Withstand the pressure, calm down, respond calmly, and win, which will promote the cohesion of the national team and even sublimate the team's temperament.
Even if it doesn't achieve the effect of becoming a hero in a single battle, at least it can allow them to experience a spiritual cleansing from the inside out.
If they lose and are eventually reversed and then equalized, Aldrich will immediately take the blame and resign.
After all, football is a team game, not just the 11 players on the field, but also the head coach. Aldridge did everything he could. He had a clear conscience and gave everything he could to this team.
, but the team itself cannot pass its own level and cannot grow up through experience, and Aldridge is unwilling to let others down again.
