In eight years, Aldridge has achieved great fame. Whenever the young coach is mentioned in football circles around the world, 99% of the people who will think of him are Aldridge. He is like a demon sword that emerged from the sky, killing countless dead souls.
This makes him awe-inspiring. This article was first published by..
Therefore, when he competes with his peers, many people will show him a touch of respect and envy.
When he met Bielsa on the sidelines today, Aldridge couldn't feel Bielsa's emotions that most people would have, respect, anxiety, expectation, or trying to learn from Aldridge, or even defeat Aldridge.
ambition.
Bielsa was high-spirited and sharp, giving Aldridge a long-lasting feeling in his mind.
domineering!
Well, that's how it feels.
Bielsa is not afraid of Aldrich at all. One is in South America and the other is in Europe. The young marshal is famous all over the world. Even though he defeated the well-known governor of Argentina twice, Bielsa is still unscrupulous.
Perhaps Aldridge's achievements in the club are unfair, because he has attracted talents from various countries, and his cards are better than others.
But when it comes to the national team level, when the two confront each other, what should Bielsa be afraid of?
Besides, he is a madman and a lunatic.
And he still firmly believes that in his hands, Argentina is fusing Menottiism and Bilardoism to form a new school, a football philosophy called Bielsaism. The South American budget competition is just the beginning.
.The final goal is to defeat all the heroes in the World Cup!
After Bielsa shook hands with Aldrich, he turned away and walked away. He looked high-spirited and striding.
Aldridge was obviously younger, but slightly cramped, and his body movements were slow. He walked slowly back to the coach's bench. Bielsa was wearing sportswear, and Aldridge was in a suit and tie. It looked like Bielsa belonged in football. Aldridge should
Summed up in fashion.
"England and Argentina finally meet! Did we start looking forward to this moment from the moment the draw results came out, or did we start from France four years ago?"
"Andy, I think Simeone is right. Whenever England and Argentina meet, it will be an exciting game. Today, we will witness such a game full of stories and grudges. Gary, are you optimistic about England?
Are you still regretting your header that year?"
Lineker laughed. His lifelong regret may be the moment when he headed the ball against the Argentina goal before the end of the 1986 World Cup.
"Of course I support England. In the past, it was just support and unconditional support, which was instinctive. But now, reason tells me that England can win, because the victory over Sweden told all England fans that England is stronger than we imagined, and Argentina is very powerful."
Is it great? Maybe, but they are competing with Nigeria
In the game, apart from the result, I couldn't see Argentina's strength. They even had very few shots that hit the goal range. 3313 offensive football instead reminded me of when Hall led Millwall.
According to statistics compiled by Fleet Street, Hall wins all opponents who play a three-back defensive system."
"Haha, I hope your words can bring good luck to England. Alright, the players from both sides will enter the stadium and the national anthem will be played. Let's introduce the starting lineups of both sides.
England 4321.
Goalkeeper: Seaman.
Defenders: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Beckham, Butt, Lampard.
Attacking midfielder: Scholes, McManaman.
Forward: Owen.
Argentina started with 3313.
Goalkeeper: Caballero.
Defenders: Pochettino, Samuel, Placent.
Midfielder: Zanetti, Simeone, Solin.
Avantgarde: Veron.
Forwards: Ortega, Batistuta, Killy Gonzalez.
England vs Argentina, the battle of old enemies is about to begin!"
Today, England's captain's armband is worn on Beckham's arm. This is a decision made by Aldridge yesterday. He did not choose Beckham as captain because he felt that Beckham's fame would have a negative impact on the purely competitive field.
After spending half a year with the national team, Beckham is still a heartthrob. There are many commercial activities outside the court, but at least in the national team, they have a very cooperative relationship.
Even if he was asked to play the right midfielder, away from the area where it is easier for him to shine, Beckham had no complaints. This satisfied Aldridge. After the last World Cup, Beckham was at his darkest point.
Argentina is England's destiny, and it is also Beckham's destiny. On this day and at this moment, Aldridge hopes to let him wear the captain's armband and settle a grudge.
There is no such thing as letting go for a man, he can only face it bravely and end it with his own hands.
Argentina's captains during this period are relatively vague. Simeone, Ayala, and Veron all wore the captain's armband. In this game, it was Veron who wore the captain's armband.
Beckham met his club teammate Veron, and when the two teams shook hands, the meeting between Beckham and Simeone became the focus. However, both of them seemed very calm and seemed to have forgotten their grudges.
The fans of England and Argentina have already started a noisy cheering battle in the stands, and the game is ablaze with excitement!
From the very beginning, England shrunk their formation, and their three lines retreated further back than when they played Sweden in the last game. This is natural, because the Swedish team took the initiative to shrink at the beginning, and England did not need to retreat too far. It was quite satisfactory, but
This game is completely different.
Argentina directly launched a full-scale pressing attack.
Crazy Bielsa saw England's posture and cursed in his heart, raising his chin and sharpening his eyes: England wants to defeat Argentina through defensive counterattacks? Let's see if you can prevent it first!
In his view, Argentina's offensive points are spread out, not Sweden, which can only focus on attacking parts of the attack!
In the last game, Aldridge gave England 25 minutes to get into the game. Today, let’s discount it, 10 minutes.
In the first 10 minutes, no matter what changes occurred on the field, England mainly defended, absolutely defensive. When defending, Owen had to retreat to the center circle. McManaman and Scholes retreated further, and the attack also increased.
Don't pursue speed, be steady. Pass the ball more, run away, and let the whole team get into game mode.
The fans in the stands and the viewers in front of the TV saw Argentina's pressing half-court attack, and saw that England seemed to have no power to fight back.
Argentina's fans cheered passionately in the stands and wanted to rush into the field and step on England's feet, while England's fans were a little worried.
This Pampas eagle seems pretty awesome.
Possessing the ball, pressing, and shifting offense, Argentina seemed to enter the game faster. The passing was accurate and the coordination was orderly.
However, Aldrich was not worried at all.
Argentina fought back and forth, just circling on the outside.
In a fan-shaped 35-yard area with the goal as the center and outwards, Argentina could not even penetrate the offense.
This is also the flaw in Bielsa’s 3313, which he is proud of. There is too much emphasis on the wing and too weak in the middle. England’s three midfielders, coupled with Scholes’s retreat, forced Argentina to pass the ball from the wing.
Yes, it is true that they have a high success rate in passing passes from the side, but it is very difficult to develop towards the center.
As a last resort, Gonzalez cut inside and shot from a long distance.
Aldrich almost laughed.
This is similar to what they did against Nigeria in the last game. They almost moved around from the outside and just shot a long shot. The so-called gorgeous offense. The combination of organization, penetration and ground passing in the center, front and side is almost invisible.
England turned around to attack. They did not play fast and tried two long-range shots tentatively. Neither team made a threatening attack.
"It seems that England is more conservative, while Argentina seems to be helpless. Their passes to the center of the frontcourt are almost never successful. Once Veron received the ball, it was quickly intercepted by Scholes and Bart.
Maybe it’s because Manchester United’s teammates are familiar with Veron, but now, Alejandro
Argentina began to play crosses from the wing, but to be honest, England was not afraid of this style of play. Batty looked lonely on the front line alone. Ortega seized the opportunity, but the ball did not fall to the ground.
With a height of 1.7 meters, it is really difficult to get a header from England's back line."
The first 10 minutes after the start is a process of getting into the game, testing, observing, and understanding the opponent.
Aldridge is used to attacking from behind, and he has also instilled this thinking into the team, because the England team does not have the confidence to win by just using their own advantages regardless of their opponents, and this is also the reason why they use defensive tactics.
There were Argentine fans in the stands holding banners that clearly disparaged Aldridge. Behind Bielsa's name was the definition of a master tactician, and behind Aldridge, there was only a question mark.
Just like the Argentinian media was mocking England as the originator of modern football, but the more they played, the more they went back. 442 became 4321, and they sneaked into the World Cup by preventing counterattacks.
This is not only a battle between England and Argentina, but also a battle between Aldridge and Bielsa.
So far, Aldrich has not been excited at all.
Because Argentina looks like a paper tiger.
Apart from speed, they have almost no advantages.
Organization? Apart from Veron, who is surrounded and restricted from all sides in the midfield, who else? Who else can Argentina bring a little bit of creativity to their passing?
Crossing from the wing? A player knows how to do it, and when it comes to crosses, Argentina is really not as good as England. Beckham beat the entire Argentine team with one right foot.
After limiting Argentina's speed and allowing them to switch to a positional battle, the 3313 Argentina could not pose a threat no matter how they moved on the wing or outside, or how they magically moved around.
Is a long shot over 30 yards a threat? Forget it.
If Argentina were dominated by Bilardoism in modern times, Aldrich might have encountered a more powerful opponent. But now Argentina is gradually showing its Achilles heel in front of England, which is constant positional warfare.
Press forward, pile up offensive players, and get more and more space in the backcourt.
Starting from the 13th minute, England finally started to really exert its strength, and the whole team was united in thinking. After Southgate's header defused the opponent's cross, Lampard quickly passed the ball back to Bart from the outside, and then Bart passed the ball directly.
Scholes, who was running in front, got rid of Veron with his ginger head and strode forward with the ball. Before coming to Simeone, Scholes passed the ball to McManaman on the sideline.
Today, McManaman's position in the offense has changed significantly. In the last game, he was more active in the middle, but today, he is obviously closer to the wing, and after picking up the ball from the wing, he drives towards the baseline without hesitation.
.
Argentina had just launched a wave of attacks, and Zanetti, the right midfielder, was returning to defend, but McManaman's starting position was further forward than him. Therefore, England was playing a fast break. McManaman was only in front of the actual parallel position on the wing.
Argentina's back three.
No matter how McManaman handles the ball, he cannot be allowed to dribble forward unscrupulously from the wing. Pochettino has to pull out, suppress the inward line, and compress McManaman's range of activities, which is also reducing the
McManaman's choice.
When Pochettino approached this side, McManaman took the ball back and passed it crosswise to Scholes, who was running to meet him. Pochettino just turned to look at Scholes, but saw the ginger head.
The ball was released with his foot and rolled towards the baseline between Pochettino and Samuel.
This was actually a one-two. McManaman cut inside after passing the ball and pressed behind Pochettino at the moment the ginger head passed the ball.
McManaman only received the ball at the baseline position, and he had already entered the penalty area and swept the goal without hesitation. Samuel came to block McManaman and lost his position.
Behind him, Irving met the ball and pushed the ball straight into the net!
Owen was about to celebrate excitedly, but he saw the England players punching their fists in protest!
The linesman raised the flag, indicating that McManaman was offside when receiving a pass from Scholes!
England fans in the stands were angry!
Behind the stands near the stands where linesman Said was holding the flag, the England fans were excited.
"England was disallowed a goal! There must be no problem for Owen to score. The slow-motion replay showed that when McManaman received the pass from Scholes and ran towards the baseline, one of his arms crossed the Argentine back line.
, It seems that this is a penalty of a hair. Anyway, I hope this incident will not affect the mentality of the English players. We should see the good side. Argentina attacked for so long, but it was not as fast as our ten seconds.
There is a threat to counterattack, if we continue, we will definitely get good opportunities."
Bielsa gave a false alarm and his heart could hardly stand it. He was walking around on the sidelines, bending or squatting to observe the game. Did he look like a madman? Perhaps more like a patient suffering from anxiety. At this moment, he inadvertently saw
Not far away in front of the coaching bench, standing on the sidelines
Aldrich put his hands behind his back, and was indifferent to the disallowance of a goal. His expression did not change. However, when the players gathered around the referee Collina to protest in vain and came back, he stretched out his right hand from behind and towards the players.
They made a downward movement.
When the England generals saw Aldridge's motionless posture, they immediately raised their heads and quickly forgot about the goal that had just been disallowed.
Everything is under their control.
Through the attack just now, the confidence of the England generals has skyrocketed, and there is no problem in destroying Argentina! (To be continued...)
