Sköderberg used exaggerated body movements on the sidelines to mobilize the Swedish team's offensive momentum. He could see that the Swedish team's adjustments in the second half were effective, which was also related to the reduced threat of England's number one striker Owen...
At least the Swedish team's adjustment of withdrawing its full-backs made it difficult for the English team to find excellent opportunities at the forefront of the offensive end.
This is the best time for the Swedish team to counterattack.
However, the more he encouraged the team, the fiercer the Swedish team's offense seemed, but the situation on the field changed subtly.
The England team's attack is like the second half of the first half, slowly exploding!
Lagerback's eyes suddenly widened. During an attack by the England team, a player directly assisted him and reached the bottom line on the right side of the Swedish team's defense!
Phil Neville!
England's full-back assists!
We definitely didn’t see such a scene in the first half. The participation of Phil Neville and Ashley Cole in the offense was at most only supporting the half-time. They penetrated into the hinterland and came to the side like this
This is the first time I have seen the wing position participating in the attack.
Did England fight hard?
No, no!
Lagerback was not attracted by the threat of England's offensive end, which was what Schedberg was paying attention to. Instead, he looked towards England's backcourt.
England's defense in the backcourt ensured the presence of three defenders and a midfielder Bart. At the same time, Beckham's position not only did not move forward, but also moved back, although it was not as deep as Bart's serious midfielder.
, but obviously be wary of the Swedish team’s counterattack.
Defense in the midfield and backcourt ensures 5 people!
England didn't fight, absolutely not.
But Phil Neville just went for it. His cross didn't go to Irving, but passed back to the front of the penalty area. There, Lampard unexpectedly came up again, and the result was that he stopped the ball wide and directly passed it.
The ball stopped behind the Swedish back line. He wanted to chase it, but it was impossible. McManaman was the closest and ran over to harass the Swedish team. Melberg made a clearance and the ball went out of the sideline.
Lampard slapped his face, feeling annoyed about the stoppage just now. If he could play the ball well, whether it was passing or shooting, he would have a very high-threat attack.
It's a pity that he doesn't have Bergkamp's footwork to stop the ball. The high-altitude spin and fall, plus the fact that he rushes up at full speed and has to adjust his movements in a short time to perfectly unload the ball, are really demanding on him.
The Swedish team continues to increase the pressure of forward attacks, which leads to their defense in the middle becoming somewhat empty. Scholes's forward move after dispatching in the middle, and Lampard's last step, the Swedish team switches.
Man-to-man defense is very demanding, which is why they contracted the back line. But now, the English team's full-backs have also assisted, using the horizontal width, forcing the Swedish team's defense to open up. Otherwise, the impact from the wing to the center will disrupt
Their defense was turned upside down.
Lagerback is still thinking about countermeasures and how the Swedish team can pose a threat.
The Swedish team wanted to rely on Ibrahimovic as the fulcrum, and then Ljungberg and Larsson partially penetrated the English team's defense. This method has not worked from the beginning to the present.
Larsson and Ljungberg can create huge pressure on the wing, but it becomes very difficult to develop into the center.
Lagerback racked his brains to think of ways to deal with the situation.
At this moment, in the 63rd minute of the game, the England team launched another fast break. This time, winger Ashley Cole assisted. He and McManaman cooperated on the left, and McManaman passed by.
After receiving the ball at half-court, he dribbled two steps forward. When Ljungberg chased back, Alexanderson defended head-on. McManaman passed the ball across, and Ashley Cole came up to get the ball and continued forward.
.
Alexander Sanderson helped defend the wing, McManaman ran towards the middle, Ashley Cole passed the ball back to McManaman, the poodle continued to move forward, and passed the ball again in front of the defense.
Pass to Ashley Cole.
This was a continuous one-two, and the two of them cooperated to advance the offensive into the heart of the Swedish team's defense.
When Ashley Cole brought the ball to a threatening area where he could cross, Irving in the middle was looking for opportunities at the far point, and Scholes still moved forward to grab the point. Both of them were behind the Swedish team's back line.
In the two ribs, McManaman no longer presses forward. On the contrary, he is on the outside of the penalty area.
Running position is to ensure the layering of the offense. Whether it is to capture the second offensive opportunity or to harass and delay the first line after switching from offense to defense, the England team never pushes all the midfield and frontfield forces to the front line. That is too
Dangerous, once the attack fails, the midfield will be very empty.
The Swedish team is very wary of Ashley Cole's next cross, and marking Scholes and Owen has become a top priority.
However, Ashley Cole knocked the ball back to the left in front of the penalty area. In this area, McManaman was still there!
McManaman had the opportunity to take a long shot, but he felt that the angle was not good. The frightened Milder and Melberg blocked the shot route. Svensson on the other side had already run back to the midfielder position to defend.
McManaman stopped the ball, half-turned, faced to the right, and made a short-to-medium pass.
The Swedish team's defense line all looked over there, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Beckham!
Beckham came up, not close to the wing, but already in a dangerous zone. He stopped the ball, took a step back, and then made a pass.
Just when McManaman passed the ball to Beckham, Scholes and Irving, who were standing in the ribs at the front, started running at the same time. The two crossed each other horizontally, and Irving ran to the back.
Anderson moved to this side to stay close to Irving, but as he moved, he found that Scholes was rushing towards him. When he reacted and stopped to guard against Scholes, he was already too late.
Beckham's cross was not high, and the full-moon scimitar bypassed Edman and landed in the top corner on the right side of the small penalty area, where Scholes came to run.
Ginger Head kept the ball, and shot directly along the falling ball. To the naked eye, the ball seemed to have only slightly changed its trajectory. If Ginger Head hadn't touched it, Beckham's kick should have hit the goal range, but he touched it.
After a moment, the shot changed its trajectory, making goalkeeper Hedman unable to react. The ball came from the top of the near corner of the goal!
"Scholes! Scholes! England leads Sweden 2:0. This is a golden goal. It is the goal that England firmly grasps the victory! What about the group of death? England wins
This game will give us an advantage, and the future of the Three Lions is extremely bright. Darkness and death are reserved for other teams!"
Scholes turned around and ran toward the sidelines, pointing at Beckham. The two members of Manchester United's Class of 92 teamed up to complete a wonderful goal. Of course, this was inseparable from the success of McManaman and Ashley Cole.
The left wing went all the way to instigate the attack and finally transferred to the feet of Beckham, as well as Irving. He had not touched the ball, but his movement still played a huge role in containing the ball. It created an atmosphere for Scholes to score.
space.
When the English fans celebrated and the Swedish fans were sad, Aldrich turned around and hugged Janson, and they roared passionately.
In the group of death, every point is crucial. Even if a goal is scored, one can survive, and if a goal is conceded, one will die. It is so cruel.
After Aldridge celebrated the goal, he turned around and continued to remind the players on the field to be more vigilant!
But at this time, Aldridge, who held his head high and his chest high, already had stronger confidence.
If the lineup is better than yours and the skills and tactics are better than yours, you should win!
This is exactly what Swedish coach Lagerback was thinking at this time.
2:0, the Swedish team was forced into a desperate situation.
England has not yet met Argentina, and neither has Sweden.
We are used to seeing too many national teams whose lineups seem to be at their peak but whose actual results are unsatisfactory. Under Aldridge, the England team not only performs at the level of strength it should have, but even faintly exceeds the expected level. This is the ability of the head coach.
, I can’t accept it.
Lagerback's thinking was already messed up and he couldn't figure out how to restrict England.
Especially when falling behind, the more the Swedish team attacks, the less able it is to limit the opponent's counterattack.
The only chance was in a draw, but the England team's strategic layout defeated Sweden. Now, if they want to save the defeat, in theory, Lagerback can't find a way.
The Swedish team's offense cannot be fully launched because they do not have a strong midfield support. If their mediocre organization and planning can penetrate the English team's defense, the English team will have sunk into the qualifiers long ago.
The only countermeasure that came to Lagerback's mind was the last resort.
Larsson not only informed the Swedish coaching staff of his personal insights into Aldridge's creation of the England team, but also shared the essence of Millwall's brilliant technical and tactical system in recent years.
This is actually difficult to learn from, because in theory there are many technical and tactical systems that are better than Millwall's. If you say it with one mouth, you can say it impeccably. The key is to put it into practice, it is the players, it is the ability of the 11 players on the field.
.
Sweden has no Pirlo, no Nedved, no Ronaldinho, no... what's the use of copying Millwall's technical and tactical system?
However, the defensive ideas can be used for reference. Millwall's high-pressure press, defense starting from the first line of the frontcourt, compressing the third-line space, and preventing the opponent from launching fast breaks are beneficial. The Swedish coaching staff does not dare to do this. The reason
It is also too risky. There is no doubt that Millwall's level has surpassed today's level.
The strength of all national teams in the world is far inferior to that of the clubs because of the scope of national team selection and the time it takes to build the system. Therefore, part of Millwall's defensive strength is transformed from offensive strength. The Swedish team does not have this kind of pressing attack to replace attack.
Given the defensive strength, if you press the ball so hastily, you will pay a heavy price.
It is impossible to transplant a complete transplant, but it is possible to adjust it according to your own situation at the appropriate time.
This is the new adjustment Lagerback made when trailing 0:2: frontcourt, pressing like crazy!
Before conceding the second goal, the Swedish team's defense was based on the idea of running back, standing in a defensive position and setting up a defensive line.
But they will find that the England team is too fast when switching from defense to attack. The midfielders and frontcourt players run backwards, and how can they catch up?
This makes the defense passive.
Since you can’t catch up if you chase back, then grab it as close as possible!
At least playing a defensive role, even a little bit, is better than running back and just watching without using any force.
When the Swedish team adjusted its defensive strategy, the England team made the first substitution of the game.
"Beckham was the first to be replaced. This substitution should be for the purpose of protecting the players. Beckham has just returned from injury and has not played a warm-up match before. In the limited 65-minute game today, Beckham
Tom performed well and was a key player in the England team's midfield attack. He also contributed an assist and passed many threatening balls."
Most fans in England and the country applauded Beckham. When he came off the field, Aldridge high-fived Beckham without saying anything, and then patted Carrick on the back. Carrick came on to replace Beckham. It was Aldridge.
Qi hopes Carrick can help England improve their control of the midfield.
With a two-goal lead, he seeks stability even more. The World Cup is not a place to be in the limelight. It is a wise choice to give up when things are good. England does not have the confidence and capital to be wild and unrestrained in the limelight. (To be continued...)
