The German team had many problems exposed in the first half, including unstable defense and weak offense. Even though Voller could see that there was a problem with the overall tactical framework, he could not make extreme changes in the short period of time during the halftime break.
The more drastic changes are made, the more likely they will cause chaos.
England shamelessly defends against counter-attacks. What tricks does the German team have?
without!
The German team was unable to make England change its attitude and take the initiative to attack aggressively. They came to counterattack. Now that the German team is three goals behind, they have no choice but to attack. Otherwise, will they surrender?
Woller made adjustments on both ends of the offense and defense. The three defenders did not help defend the wing. If England counterattacked from the wing again, and Schneider and Boehme on the wing could not return to their positions, the three defenders guarded the penalty area.
Let the other side pass the ball freely, England does not have a high forward, as long as it does not miss the ball, purely grab the header or intercept the ground cross, the space between the three defenders of the German team will be very small.
On the offensive end, Yankel retreated and attracted Bart at the front waistline to relieve the pressure on Deisler.
Voller fully thought that such adjustments would improve the quality of offense and defense. However, at the beginning of the second half, within 5 minutes, England dealt a heavy blow to the German team.
Ballack dribbled the ball forward in the midfield. Scholes was stalking him. When he had to play the ball, Ballack passed the ball to Boehme on the wing. Boehme just received the ball and not only had
Beckham pressed closely, and McManaman also came to help. Beckham reasonably collided and squeezed Bome. McManaman stole the ball and turned around. After turning around, he made a diagonal pass to the middle. Scholes came from
Ballack turned around and rushed forward. Ballack turned around again, seemingly a step too late, but still chasing after him.
Unexpectedly, Scholes stopped the ball and took a step forward with a through ball. The ball passed between Warnes and Nowotny. Irving had already started the ball first. Warnes raised his hand to signal that the linesman was offside.
The referee ran along the sideline towards the German team's penalty area. The flag in his hand was never raised.
The boy chasing the wind strode into the penalty area with the ball. Before Kahn could strike, he volleyed the ball straight into the far corner of the goal, hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal.
"Irving scored twice! After the England team succeeded in stealing in the midfield, they created Owen's single goal through two passes! The speed is so fast that people can't react. England played a superb counterattack today!"
Worrall had no expression on his face, lowering his head slightly to recall the England team's formation after the start of the second half.
There has been a change!
Schneider stood there looking at his door, and even Kahn was extremely frustrated.
He wanted to tell his teammates that England's tactics changed in the second half and the first half.
The first half was a pure counterattack, allowing the German team to press their offensive formation up, create a large space for counterattack, and then quickly advance to penetrate the German team's defense.
In the second half, England's backcourt formation moved forward, compressing the space in the midfield. They used crazy pressing on the spot, and immediately launched a counterattack after successfully stealing the ball. Basically, they succeeded in stealing the ball until the attack reached the front end, within 3 seconds.
Just now, McManaman's pass and Scholes' through ball probably only took 2 seconds.
Schneider smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering if it was God's will.
Woller's adjustment in the midfield was exactly what England wanted. Yankel retreated and added a forward on the front line to strengthen the organization and cooperation of the midfield. However, the German team wanted to play when England compressed the midfield and pressed frantically.
It is too difficult to coordinate with one continuous kick. To deal with England's pressing tactics, you must not only be calm when handling the ball.
Decisive and quick. To put it bluntly, it means playing fast. If the opponent grabs the ball quickly and fiercely, you have to release the ball faster, especially transfer the ball. Quickly stay away from the key areas where the opponent is pressing. Only in this way can the offense be pushed to the forefront. There are also
One of the simplest ways is to hit directly behind the opponent's back line. The area there is much larger than in the first half.
0:4!
On the England coaching bench, the members of the coaching staff were all going crazy. Except for Klinsmann, whose celebration was relatively restrained, Jensen rushed over and hugged Aldridge after Irving scored twice, with a rather public smile.
Aldrich smiled a little more restrainedly, but made people feel more proud.
England used another magic weapon in the second half, and that was the crazy pressing!
Counterattacks are counterattacks. Counterattacks can be launched from the goalkeeper position, while crazy pressing focuses on the midfield to limit the opponent's offensive organization. On this basis, combined with a mature and tacit counterattack, it will be even more powerful!
Many people criticize England for being too industrialized.
This is not false, it is also a fact.
Aldridge has never complained about this, even though he once regretted that Redknapp Jr. was ruined by injuries, which made England lack a useful talent during this period, but reality is reality, and you have to accept it.
.
Complaining has no positive meaning except negative impact.
But engineers also have the same uses as engineers. If used well, they can be equally powerful.
In the football world, different paths lead to the same goal, and existence is reasonable.
Since engineer-type players can play for top teams, they naturally have their own advantages.
Abundant physical fitness, a large range of activities, certain defensive and confrontation capabilities, etc. How can we say that there is absolutely no use for it?
To make England play artistically, players can turn into Mozart, but Aldrich cannot.
But what he can do is to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. Although the set of 4321 he created has inherent shortcomings, that is, the inability to attack difficult situations. It may maximize the power of defensive counterattacks. Aldridge is also satisfied. Throughout the ages, no coach can train a team.
A team with an indestructible offense and an impregnable defense.
The Netherlands' Total Offense and Total Defense pursues such a peak, but that is too idealistic. Think about it, but if you are serious, reality will teach you to be a new person.
Today, the German football emperor Beckenbauer is still sitting in the stands, and next to him is Bayern Munich coach Hitzfeld.
This is Bayern's home stadium, and given Beckenbauer's status in German football, it is normal for him to appear here to watch this Anglo-German battle.
Seeing the German team concede four goals, Hitzfield looked normal, but he was thinking: If Aldridge leads Millwall to use tactics like England, in the club arena, there is still a team in the world who dares to do it.
Attack in front of Millwall?
You can't say that England played poorly, because even in the first half, they didn't retreat to the penalty area and set up a bus, but England's ability to catch the opponent's offensive and defensive transition flaws has been somewhat successful.
If Millwall plays like this, with Henry who is stronger and more comprehensive at the front, Ronaldinho who has a wide center to play, and Larsson who is fast and has superb finishing ability, Millwall can make football very simple.
It has become a boring game where the opponent does not dare to attack.
Opponents in the Premier League are all looking for a balance point, so that the defense will not become vulnerable and have a certain counterattack ability. They come to catch Millwall's counterattack. Occasionally, some teams do succeed, but Millwall does not.
The shortcomings will be made up for soon. In the entire European football world, there is still no technical and tactical system that is recognized as being able to limit the game against Millwall.
Heathfield was in a state of confusion, and this game inspired him.
Aldrich. Wizard!
Beckenbauer saw Heathfield looking thoughtful and asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Heathfield said what he was thinking truthfully.
"I think Hall has solved a difficult problem that all European giants are studying, which is how to deal with Millwall. England's technical and tactical system is the best way to restrain Millwall!"
Having said this, Heathfield smiled mockingly.
Aldrich created the two most extreme tactics in two different teams!
In fact, he said it was a slight exaggeration to restrain Millwall, but compared to other tactical systems such as 442, 352, the England team's 4321 is indeed comparable to Millwall's 433.
Beckenbauer raised his chin and thought for a long time before nodding slightly.
4321 is just a number, the key is what type of players are used.
Just like Capello's Real Madrid also played 4321, but Real Madrid's 4321 structure is very different from England's 4321. The key point is the two attacking midfielders. Real Madrid uses Raul and Miggato
Vicky, used in England
Scholes and McManaman. Scholes’ defensive ability is something Real Madrid do not have. It is precisely because of Scholes’ defensive ability that the England team can form a crazy press in the midfield area. Mike
Manaman also has certain defensive abilities.
For example, 4321 was also popular in Italy, but the three of 21 were basically composed of heavy offensive players, relying on the defense of the back waist line and the back line. However, they were unable to form a front-to-back double-team on the midfield line.
Beckenbauer sighed softly and said: "But this tactic also has great limitations. Very few wealthy clubs in the world will allow the coach to use such tactics. Aldrich Hall must also know this. So he played in Mill
Wall will not rely on such tactics, even if playing like this can further increase the probability of being invincible."
Heathfield looked stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized.
Fans of wealthy clubs have very high requirements for game viewing. This tactic will be very ugly if used in positional battles. Since a certain amount of offensive creativity is sacrificed in favor of engineer-type players, the viewing ability in positional battles will be poor.
It will be a big discount.
Thinking about this, Heathfield's respect for Aldrich deepened.
Aldridge had no choice in the England national team, and the player base was just like that. He taught students according to their aptitude and finally created such a set of tactics, which can be said to tap the potential and stimulate the team's strength to the limit.
Beckenbauer couldn't bear to see the German team being slaughtered anymore, so he got up and left first.
"Don't you want to read it?"
"If the German team loses, if they play ten more games, they may lose nine more."
Beckenbauer left such words before leaving, and Heathfield was stunned.
King Bei's words almost confirmed that it was difficult for the German team to have high hopes in this period, and would trigger deeper reflection and reform in German football.
How long does it take to cultivate a generation of talent? Four years, eight years? And the German team is not only lacking in talent, but also has reached the end of its technical and tactical play.
There is no successor to this glorious role of a free man!
Beckenbauer felt a little sad in his heart. If today's German team didn't have free agents of the same level as when he was young, even if there were free agents like Matthaus and Sammer who frequently entered the opponent's penalty area, who would win?
For sure.
Defend, stifle threats, attack, provide attack points by surprise.
The top libero is everywhere on the court, majestic from all sides!
If there were no free men, what would be different about the German team's 352? On the contrary, the defense was full of mistakes and the offense had no bright spots.
Is there any prospect of the next generation of free agents in German football? Beckenbauer has not discovered it anyway, and it is impossible for the club to insist on using 352 just to take risks to cultivate a person. Real interests, risks, record pressure, etc., cultivate such talents.
The soil requirements are so high that the whole team needs to be trained.
