On the eve of the war between England and Argentina, the media is not just reviewing the history of grudges between England and Argentina. Regarding the two teams that are about to meet now, Argentina's 3313 offensive football seems to be frightening, while England's top scorer is the one who gets the most attention: Owen.
.
Fleet Street made a sound of worry. They felt that although England defeated Sweden in the last game, Owen's condition was clearly bad, and England's backup striker was unavailable!
Alan Smith?
He didn't play much as a forward at Leeds United last season.
Rooney?
Sorry, the outside world has automatically ignored this person.
Faced with the media's doubts about Owen's status and concerns about hidden dangers in the England team's forward line.
Aldridge wrote lightly: "You only saw that Irving missed a few opportunities, but you didn't see England's three goals in the last game. Irving made important contributions. Of course, I have no intention of discussing these with you, regardless of
No matter what you say, I have only one answer: Owen is the best striker in England, and as long as he is not injured, he will definitely start."
Reporters from all over the world have different thoughts. Some think Aldridge is a tough talker, while others think Aldridge is motivating Irving. However, some are worried about whether this will bring psychological pressure to Irving.
After the pre-match press conference, Aldridge and Beckham returned to their hotel. They walked into the hotel's business conference room together to officially hold a pre-match preparation meeting for tomorrow's match.
All the England players and coaching staff sat on both sides of the long table in the conference room. On the large projector screen, assistant coach Jenson began to play the slideshow.
"I know what tomorrow's game means for us. England vs Argentina. It's definitely not going to be a special game. But my job is just about the politics within the arena and I don't think about it, regardless of what the fans expect.
What, for me, there is only victory and nothing else. So, we have to keep all our thoughts in the arena, and only in this way can we beat Argentina."
Aldridge took off his suit while speaking. His tone was not serious, but he attracted everyone's attention. The players listened attentively.
Aldridge walked towards the big projection screen and continued to speak as he walked: "I won't say that we can win as long as we work hard. In my eight years of coaching, I have encountered countless opponents. They
Everyone is fighting for me and my team. But there is no team in my memory that can win through hard work. Maybe, it is
I forgot. Because I always firmly believe that mental strength is only an auxiliary. Just like if you are eager to defeat Argentina and are full of fighting spirit, will Argentina be half a point weaker than your fighting spirit? Therefore, it is not momentum and will that determine victory or defeat.
, but a confrontation between team skills and tactics. I am very fortunate that at this point, we have an innate advantage."
The players looked at each other, beating their hearts out.
Tomorrow they will face off against Argentina, and in front of them, Argentina is a very strong team. Not to mention dominating South America in the qualifiers, their gorgeous offensive performance will make people’s scalp numb just by looking at the number of goals scored. In addition, in the first game, Argentina
They also won 1:0 against Nigeria. It seemed that the Pampas Eagles were strong and stable, and the 3313 offensive formation, which was infinitely amplified by the media and seemed mysterious and crazy, made people involuntarily fearful.
Aldridge stood in front of the projection screen, facing the players, and said calmly: "I will not use the remarks in the British newspaper to cheer you up and make you blindly think that Argentina's 3313 is really a transformation from the Netherlands.
343 is out of date with the times, or has some connection with WM earlier. To despise Argentine coach Bielsa is just to pick up people’s wisdom. It’s all nonsense and will not help tomorrow’s game.”
Some of the England generals nodded, such as Southgate, who was listening to Aldridge's side. Fleet Street mocking Argentina was very blind, such as why the Netherlands' 343 ten years ago made Bielsa pick up the trick again, or so on.
Chapman's WM tactical revolution came from the ancestors of Jubiersa's current tactical formation. This is a kind of Ah Q spirit, which is blind, hypocritical, and unrealistic. If we take this seriously as confidence, it will really make people laugh.
Aldrich turned around and slapped the big projection screen with one hand, and said calmly: "Look here, this is the tactical formation used by Argentina to win the World Cup in 1978. The coach who led the team to win the championship was Menotti. He was great. Menottiism has been passed down to this day.
And will continue to do so. Bielsa is, in a sense, Menottiism.
The inheritor and developer of football, in that era when total offense and total defense were popular in football, Menotti pursued the offensive football, beautiful football, and the football philosophy of pressing and controlling the ball. In that year, he defeated the Netherlands in two games.
A team that advocates attack came to the end, and it ended with Argentina winning the championship."
As the graphics on the large screen changed, Aldrich continued: "This is the tactical formation used by Argentina to win the championship for the second time after 8 years. People remember Maradona, and they also remember another Argentine football philosophy, Villa.
Doctrine is a conservative, rigid and utilitarian football philosophy. These two football philosophies are sharp.
In sharp contrast, Argentina in 1978 was more like a team, while Argentina in 1986 was built around one player, so Maradona can become almost the only memory of the summer of 1986, and in 1978, they also won the championship, and
Argentina won the championship for the first time in history, but no one can reach the height of Maradona."
After a pause at this point, Aldrich said: "I tell you this to give you a clear understanding. What we are facing should not be simply understood as having Batty, Veron, Ortega, and Simon.
Ni, wait a minute, so and so’s team, what we encountered is not a team that listens to
What we encountered is Argentina, where there are now voices gradually talking about Bielsaism, which is actually a continuation of Menottiism. Through this philosophy, a team once played a leading role in the era when offensive football was popular.
Argentina won the championship.”
After saying these words, all the players suddenly became enlightened and their thinking jumped out of the small pattern and rose to a higher level.
This is the so-called confrontation and duel of techniques and tactics, not the details of who is going to restrict who, and who is going to crush who.
Achieved coaches may not be able to establish a football philosophy. At this point, Aldridge is no good either. He is touted as a master by the outside world, but he is still a thousand miles away from the formation and creation of a football philosophy.
There is no such figure in modern times, not Ferguson, not Wenger, not Lippi, not Capello, the top coaches of the modern era are all standing on the shoulders of giants, even if it is Van Gaal’s offensive football philosophy, twenty
Years ago, who was not more authoritative than Cruyff or Michels?
Of course, modern football has been developing for hundreds of years, and it is no longer the "prehistoric era". It is hundreds of times more difficult to start a sect than it was thirty or fifty years ago.
Even in the future of original history, Guardiola and Mourinho, who are extremely opposed in European football, can almost be said to be a collision between Menottiism and Bilardoism, even though they have nothing to do with Argentine football philosophy.
There is a teacher-instructor relationship, but in the core, the kind of control of the ball, pressure, beautiful offensive, conservative and stereotyped details to win the confrontation, the intensity is exactly the same as the internal "war" of Argentine football.
Argentinian football itself is also swinging between these two football philosophies. Why? Because both football philosophies have won Argentina world championships, just like England's 442 brought a historic championship trophy, so it is so far-reaching.
His influence makes future generations look up to and revere him, but at the same time, he cannot bear to let go and always wants to reopen the glorious path of the sages.
Some Argentine fans will always say that Argentina abandoned its own style at a certain time and did not insist on offensive football and passionate football. As everyone knows, Argentina itself has a conservative and utilitarian football philosophy. Therefore, in the 1990 World Cup, we can see that Argentina did everything possible to block the
The bus was placed in the penalty area to block the crushing German tanks. If it hadn't been for Voller's dive, perhaps Bilardotism would have won another victory.
After that, Argentina sometimes tended to the Menotti doctrine, and sometimes chose the Bilardo doctrine. In the World Cup, there were wonderful teams with more than 20 passes and cuts, and there were also boring games where big names gathered but struggled to win. This was not Argentina.
What has been abandoned is that they themselves have these two contradictory football genes.
Take the 2010 World Cup in South Africa as an example. The responsibility for Argentina's collapse does not lie with the performance of the players, but with the coach Maradona. It is not the poor coaching level of Maradona, but the combination of Maradona, an angel and a devil.
, and finally couldn’t control his own nature.
What made him brilliant and put him on the altar was Bilardoism. Therefore, when he coached Argentina, he wanted to dominate the world with the core of his 1986 philosophy, because Argentina has a Messi, and in the eyes of the outside world,
The closest successor to him, however, Maradona's adventurous and radical character made it impossible for him to achieve absolute utilitarianism. The two extremely opposing philosophies eventually collapsed completely in the swing, and they were both destroyed.
And Argentina’s World Cup trip to South Africa.
Many Argentine players have picked up pointers after retiring, and their styles are very distinct and distinctive, because if they are not followers of Menottiism, they are believers of Bilardoism. For example, Argentina's current lineup international Pochettino also
Simeone, who suffered a huge shock and was overturned, has an extraordinary relationship with Bielsa.
As a follower of Bielsa, Bielsa instilled in him a majestic football philosophy. However, after experiencing the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Simeone realized that what Bielsa described was just a reflection of the mirror. Ten years later, he played in Atletico
When the competition shocked European football, he became a complete Bilardotist. After all, beauty cannot compete with practicality.
The projected image finally changed to Argentina, which they will meet tomorrow, 3313, or simply 343.
The players in the audience raised their necks and their eyes became solemn.
Aldrich said solemnly: "Menotti's pursuit of a kind of grand creativity, Bilardo carefully pays attention to every detail. Why do I say that we have an innate advantage? Because Bielsa is the continuation of Mei
The tactician of Notiism, he is too idealistic and too romantic. What he pursues is not that others dare not pursue it, but that others have bowed to reality. I, England, have also bowed my head. You should be able to understand that we are walking on a pragmatic path.
of
On the road, and Argentina, what are they pursuing? In the pursuit of dominating an era, setting off a storm that goes beyond engraving the name on the championship trophy! It is a pity, I think this is too ideal, now is not twenty years ago, not three years ago.
Ten years ago, it was an era where there were almost no secrets in tactics, and it was not an era where creativity could appear out of thin air if you worked hard. Such pursuit made Argentina lose its reality-oriented mentality, and this is our advantage."
Aldrich said it categorically and without any shame.
Yes, he bowed his head. He had to make England retreat to defend against counterattacks. He had to make England look nothing like a strong team at times, without the atmosphere and dominance of a strong team. But, reality
It's because England doesn't have the confidence to pursue that too illusory power.
Who wouldn’t dream?
But when I open my eyes, reality is still in front of me.
How difficult is it to conquer the world with offensive football?
The Menotti Doctrine only led Argentina to win the championship once, and when thinking about offensive football, one cannot do without the Tulip Netherlands. They are only the uncrowned king!
Aldridge is just a common man. He wants a championship. He believes that his players are also common people. Rather than creating a new philosophy and becoming famous in history, a championship trophy is more realistic.
As for the Brazilian championship in 2002 in the original history, was it a victory of offensive football? It is difficult to say, have they ever encountered the test of Europe's top teams? Does the German team that has lost its soul and Ballack's inactivity count? (To be continued, please search
