---------------------------------------
From the beginning of the game, Lampard and Ashley Cole performed their defensive tasks in the midfield and left side of the midfield respectively. They did not step forward to assist. Lampard also had the task of supporting, and overall he was relatively leisurely.
.
As the game continues, the two of them must be focused. This is just a basic requirement. At the same time, they must also think and analyze the situation in the frontcourt.
When Beckham was on the right, Scholes was in the middle, and McManaman was on the left, each attracting more than one defender from the opponent, Lampard realized that Aldridge's pre-match tactical arrangements were beginning to work.
.
He waved to Ashley Cole, who nodded heavily when he saw it.
In an instant, Finland seemed to have found a way to restrain England's attack. Beckham lost the ball under the opponent's entanglement. Scholes's pass to Owen was unsuccessful. Within 5 minutes, England's two attacks in front of the penalty area failed to form.
Shot opportunity.
Finland is more determined in this adjusted defensive strategy.
Just when the Finns thought they were safe, England launched an unexpected attack.
Litmanen received a long pass from the frontcourt and the backcourt. Ferdinand took the lead to stand up and head the ball to clear the ball. Bart controlled the second position and passed the ball to Scholes who retreated to cover. The ginger head turned around with the ball and followed.
Beckham played a two-on-one, and Finland focused on defending him. Scholes found that there was not much space in front of him, so he retreated to continue to control the ball.
McManaman moved to the left side of the penalty area. Scholes specially exchanged passes with Beckham again, and then quickly transferred the ball to McManaman.
When McManaman received the ball, Finnish players quickly double-teamed him to defend him. However, McManaman got out of the way and suddenly knocked the ball toward the bottom line of the penalty area on the same side, hitting behind the Finnish back line.
, Ashley Cole quickly circled from the outside and went straight to the baseline, and the timing of passing and running was just right with McManaman.
The Finnish team did not expect that Ashley Cole suddenly came up and reached the bottom line as soon as he came up. It was like being in no one's land.
Ashley Cole passed the ball in no hurry and quickly dribbled the ball along the baseline towards the goal. The Finnish team's defense was shocked. Three defensive players rushed towards Ashley Cole from different directions. At the critical moment,
Ashley Cole knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area. The defense there was completely empty. Scholes' forward drive took away the defensive player.
Lampard hits the spot!
Lampard originally wanted to shoot directly from a long distance, but he noticed the movement of his teammates, so when the Finnish defense players rushed towards him quickly, Lampard slanted the ball to the right front.
Ashley Cole, Lampard. Suddenly moved the ball twice in a row, and the Finnish team's defensive players really couldn't keep up.
Beckham broke in from Lampard's right front, and after receiving the ball, he was already one-handed, but he was a little close to the goalkeeper.
The air in Anfield seemed to be stagnant.
Everyone knows how huge the impact this game will have on the fate of the two teams. A goal that breaks a record is worth thousands of dollars.
Beckham didn't have to show off what a gorgeous curve ball he could shoot with his golden right foot at this moment. The distance was so close, he simply and violently volleyed the ball. The Finnish goalkeeper had no reaction. The ball went into the upper corner of the goal and hit the top.
Then it landed on the grass inside the door and bounced several times.
Anfield bursts with the passion this stadium should have!
Cheers roared like a tsunami, and countless figures in the stands stood up and waved their arms at the same time. The scene was extremely spectacular!
"England scored! David Beckham! This is a golden goal! This goal allows England to temporarily surpass Finland in the standings, and we have one less game than the opponent! Keep this
With this victory, England can at least qualify for the play-offs! This goal must praise the performance of Ashley Cole and Lampard. They should have assisted earlier! Ashley Cole wandered to the bottom line.
Lampard's wonderful pass in front of the penalty area, and Beckham finally made the final decision! I hope England can keep up the good work."
After scoring a goal, Beckham also ran wildly to celebrate in his trademark way, came to the corner flag area and spread his arms with a charming smile on his face.
Other teammates also came over to join in the celebration.
Aldrich only applauded on the sidelines and didn't even smile.
This is the decisive battle!
He couldn't smile until the game was over. It has to be said that in the position of England national team coach, he was walking on thin ice in his heart. It was not that he was reluctant to give up this position, but he was always worried that the England team would fall behind.
To put it bluntly, the fact is that he has only spent a short time with most of the players, and the information he knows is all obtained from external observations. He is not as knowledgeable as coaching a club, and he cannot feel completely at ease.
In today's positional battle, Aldrich thought about it. Instead of playing step-by-step for 60 minutes and possibly getting into a deadlock and fighting for his life, it would be better to use 30 minutes for tactical cover. After all, positional warfare has great shortcomings and has many advantages.
It cannot be used. For example, England lacks reliable high center forwards. Heskey is tall and powerful, but his ability to seize opportunities can make Aldrich burst into tears.
Therefore, Aldridge can only do a tactical cover without changing the tactical framework.
Beckham and Neville's strong attack on the right, Scholes' frequent penetration into the penalty area, and McManaman's threat on the left. If you can score in the first thirty minutes, you will win the lottery. If you can't score,
With just one or two threats, Finland will sound the alarm and tighten restrictions.
From an overall perspective, this is also a shortcoming of England. It is precisely because the England national team does not have a player like Ronaldinho who can attract 2 or 3 defensive players from the opponent and pass the ball, so it must be considered from a tactical perspective.
to create such an effect.
After the England players finished celebrating, Aldridge quickly gestured to the sidelines and called Beckham in front of him.
Beckham was very excited after just scoring a goal, but when he saw Aldridge's serious expression, he immediately cheered up. Before Aldridge could speak, he said: "Coach, I know what to do next, you said before the game
After taking the lead, we will change back to the tactics we are familiar with."
When Aldridge heard what Beckham said, he stopped emphasizing and patted him on the shoulder and said: "David, you are the vice-captain of the team. You must play a certain leadership role on the court and lead the team to achieve today's success."
It’s an important victory. If you find that a teammate is not playing as promised before the game, you have to remind the other party, or even ask the other party sternly.”
Beckham nodded heavily, then ran back to the field and took the initiative to communicate with McManaman and Scholes before kick-off.
In fact, the most important thing is the game posture of the three of them. If they don't take it back and return to the original 4321 position, the three lines will easily become disconnected. With Southgate in charge of the defense, Aldridge's "imperial edict" will definitely be able to
Get the best execution. Lampard is Aldridge's soldier, there is no problem at all.
This conceded goal was a huge blow to Finland, and the situation changed dramatically after this conceded goal.
If Finland loses this game, qualification for the play-offs will become slim!
Unless England loses the next two games in a row, Finland will still have to defeat Greece. Even if they draw with Greece and England lose two games in a row, they will not be able to finish second in the group because England has a much better goal difference than them.
The game has become simpler.
Finland must attack and score goals. If they don't score, they will die.
The England team played 4321 nearly a year after Aldridge's transformation and construction. After the Finnish team attacked, England's unpredictable and crazy counterattack became a huge threat.
In the stoppage time of the first half, Beckham started the offensive with a long pass from the backcourt during the counterattack. McManaman got the ball and knocked it back to Lampard. Lampard then passed the ball to Scholes, who made a through ball and then passed the ball to Scholes.
The ball was handed to McManaman, but after passing through the triangle, McManaman had turned around and broke through the defense gap between the opponent's full-back and center back.
After dribbling the ball into the penalty area, McManaman crossed the ball in front of the goal. Irving grabbed the front spot and directly pushed the ball from a small angle into the net from the near corner of the goal.
"2:0! England team's beautiful counterattack, Owen completed the final blow, good goal! When Finland started to attack, their defense line became larger, and England team's counterattack had a wider space. This
This is exactly what the England team wants to see the most, and now, the England team has got what it wanted and gained a two-goal lead!"
Aldrich felt much calmer now, and he clenched his fist and waved it.
Seeing Irving scoring goals, I have to admit that Irving is a top shooter, well, a pure shooter.
For such a pure shooter, counterattack is the most suitable stage for him to perform, giving full play to his two greatest advantages: running position and shooting skills.
England 2:0 Finland in the first half.
This has basically established the final result of the game. The Finnish team has limited strength. No matter how extraordinary it is, it is impossible to achieve a super-class level. Moreover, England is still defensive. As long as they do not destroy the Great Wall, the victory is already in their pocket.
The development of the game in the second half did not escape Aldridge's control.
The Finnish team counterattacked wildly, but the defense faltered as England counterattacked again and again.
When Scholes scored England's fourth goal in the 73rd minute, the Finnish team accepted the reality and gave up and continued to attack.
Aldridge took Scholes and Irving off the field and let them rest. They will visit Germany in a week. This is to prevent them from over-exertion. At the same time, England also focuses on saving physical energy and slows down the pace on the court.
, Consciously consume game time.
When the game ended, Anfield burst into thunderous applause.
England swept Finland 4:0, with 13 points from 6 games, ranking second in the group, with two games left in the World Cup qualifying group stage.
"Good news came from another venue. The German team was actually tied by Greece in Athens! As a result, the German team has 14 points from 6 games, 4 wins and 2 draws, and England has 13 points from 6 games, only 1 point behind Germany.
In the next game against Germany, if England can win, England will have a chance to directly qualify for next year's World Cup as the first in the group. Even if it is a draw, there is still a chance in the final round, although the hope is very slim.
Germany's last game was against Albania."
The fans and players at the scene learned the results of the match between Greece and Germany immediately. Everyone was very excited, and the fans applauded even more enthusiastically.
When Aldridge took over the national team, not only was it ranked second from the bottom in the World Cup qualifying group, but the morale of the team was at rock bottom. In less than a year, the England team climbed to second place in the standings with four consecutive wins, defeating Greece and
At the same time, Finland has narrowed the gap with Germany to 1 point, and has regained control of its own destiny. Whether it can directly advance to the World Cup finals depends on the next Anglo-German battle in Munich, which will be a revenge battle for England!
Aldrich felt happy and sad after hearing the news that Germany was tied with Greece.
The good thing is that Germany has failed, but the bad thing is that Greece, under the leadership of Rehagel, is undergoing earth-shaking changes in its technical and tactical style. England's last game was against Greece, which has no desires and desires! (To be continued
