----------------------------------------
The Three Lions have grown steadily under Aldridge in the past year and a half. After the away game against Germany, they have condensed the soul of the team, and Aldridge's status in the hearts of the players has also been rising steadily. He is like
He is a monument, a totem, and a leader full of warning. The chapters are updated the fastest
Therefore, although it was very enjoyable to beat the Pampas Eagles in the first half and the score was leading on the field, the players would exchange a few words excitedly when leaving the field, but when they walked into the locker room and saw Aldrich with a calm face, they
The alarm bell was immediately sounded, the mind calmed down, the lead in the first half was thrown away, and the joy was replaced by caution.
Aldrich did not give any instructions to the players not to slack off, as he felt it was inappropriate.
In the World Series in the past ten years, some teams will collapse due to mistakes in technical and tactical adjustments by coaches, leading by playing less and more, but it is rare to see a team leading by two goals collapse and be reversed due to mental relaxation.
First of all, the importance of the World Cup itself will make players value every minute as precious and will never have the thought of being distracted and slacking off. Secondly, the England team does not have the capital to be arrogant.
They are not Millwall, and they are not a group of Millwall players whose psychological impact and pleasure will not be particularly strong if they win another Champions League.
They are so hungry that they will never take the initiative to relax.
If Aldridge overemphasizes this point, it may go too far and cause players to become nervous.
As long as his on-the-spot command does not cause any trouble and Argentina has no unlucky luck, then the game is firmly in the hands of England.
With a two-goal lead, Aldrich made adjustments in the second half.
Weaken the investment in counterattacks, strengthen defense, and weaken the full-backs as the point of attack. In this way, during the counterattack, they only have four players rushing to the front line to create threats, ensuring that the backline is stable. At the same time, there are two players in the midfield line to take care of defense.
, the defensive system is more stable.
After hearing the coach's arrangements, the players nodded and accepted the instructions.
Going to the sidelines in the second half, Aldrich discovered that Argentina had made halftime substitutions, two at a time.
"Argentina replaced captain Veron. Veron was replaced by Aimar. Another adjustment was in the forward line. Left forward Gonzalez was replaced by Flea Lopez. It seems that Argentina has no change in the formation, it is just a matchup.
Despite substitutions, Bielsa still pins his hopes on the individual performance of the players."
Aldridge doesn't believe that Bielsa will just make a simple substitution. If that is the case, it would be naive!
The second half of the game officially started. The England team was the same as the first half, standing firm on defense, and Argentina's offensive routine had nothing new.
However, when switching from offense to defense, Aldrich saw the focus of the opponent's adjustment.
The reason for the substitution was that Bielsa still believed that his 3313 offense was fine and could not provide an offensive threat in the first half. It was because Veron and Gonzalez had problems with their performance and could not provide support to Batty.
Bielsa still wanted to limit England's offense without moving this framework. It was obvious that Argentina's midfield was too empty in the first half, so when England counterattacked, the back line and midfield line continued to go up, and the back line continued to move up.
Partial focus was on man-marking, with Simeone pushing up, making it impossible for England to calmly carry out passing and cutting cooperation in the midfield during the attack.
Aldrich didn't make any adjustments. Argentina's attitude is that it will not die until the Yellow River. It is a madman. It is as crazy as a devil.
If you don't attack, you'd rather die?
The England team weakened its backcourt investment in the counterattack. At the beginning of the second half, it was indeed a little uncomfortable to adapt to the defensive pressure from the Argentine defense. After all, it was too loose in the first half and suddenly tightened in the second half, which requires an adaptation process.
Argentina's offense still hasn't improved much. Aimar is not much better than Veron. However, during a sudden counterattack after Scholes was intercepted by Simeone in the middle of the half, Aimar swayed away from Butt.
Batty sent a wonderful pass, but Batty was pressed by Ferdinand with his body, trying to pull the ball away from the angle. Instead, Southgate saw the right time and stepped forward to steal it successfully.
After 10 minutes of the second half, the England team figured out Argentina's defensive strategy, and they began to explode with counterattack power.
In the 56th minute, Lopez and Solin played a one-two and then ran through the inside line. After receiving the ball, he flexibly changed direction and rushed in front of Ferdinand. Bart, who was returning to defense, destroyed the ball with a kick and stabbed it into the penalty area.
, Southgate delayed to control the ball and was calm. Batty, who was just four meters away, immediately rushed forward to counterattack. Southgate calmly passed the ball to the wing before Batty could stretch his foot.
Phil Neville from distance.
Lopez was not on the wing, and there was no block in front of Phil Neville. Sorin went to mark Beckham, and Neville dribbled the ball forward. When he reached the center line, when Aimar came to press, he passed the ball back.
To Bart, the latter passed the ball diagonally to Lampard who was passing half-time on the left.
At this time, the Argentine defense blocked Scholes, relying on Simeone to step forward to press closely, but Beckham rushed forward and shook off Solin on the right, attracting Placent to move this way, Mike
Manaman was still in the frontcourt, but instead of pulling to the side, he
Pressed on the left side of the frontcourt, in front of Lampard, Argentina's defense predicted that Lampard would pass the ball to McManaman, and then focused on marking McManaman. Their back line left
The restricted area is about five meters outside the restricted area.
Lampard had Zanetti next to him and Ortega behind him. When he came to press at the same time, he suddenly hit the ball from the middle distance. The ball flew up, passed Simeone's head, and went diagonally behind him.
The area to the right of the frontcourt.
A red figure ran towards that direction from the middle area of the front court.
Owen!
Without the pressure behind Simeone, Irving removed the ball with his outside instep, turned around and accelerated while leading the ball. Samuel quickly came over to block it. Placent also gave up on Beckham, but he seemed beyond his reach.
Originally, most of Samuel and Pochettino's attention was on McManaman. After Irving got the ball, he started at full speed, and Samuel came to block it laterally. When Irving suddenly stopped in his dribbling process, the rhythm stopped.
.He thought Irving would change direction and break through from his right. However, Irving accelerated his breakthrough again according to the original route after a pause!
At this moment, the golden boy Owen's combination of man and ball is perfect, and his speed reaches the limit!
The Owen who wasted several opportunities in the last game against Sweden and was criticized by the media. The Owen who hit the goalpost with his shot in this game as if he did not bring his shooting boots to Japan. At this moment, under the spotlight, people can vaguely see it.
The image of four years ago.
Golden boy Owen. His eyes are sharp and he moves like a rabbit.
Four years ago in France, an 18-year-old golden boy was born. He chased the wind, dribbled the ball, and severely damaged the Pampas Eagle!
Four years later, the 22-year-old Irving is no longer chasing the wind, but creating a storm!
It shouldn't, it shouldn't. Argentina shouldn't give him space to start. Simeone defends Scholes. It gives Irving more space to run and get the ball, so that he can stop the ball, start, and make a cool move.
speed!
There is still room for breakthrough!
Isn't this the stage where Irving became famous?
If the back line is in the penalty area, Samuel doesn't even have to put his foot down. He just needs to block Irving's shooting angle. So what if Irving breaks through?
However, now, the moment Samuel was broken through, he immediately put his foot down, turned around and tackled away.
Irving, the golden boy, darted to the ball quickly, dodging Samuel's long legs with his legs and feet. The rock fell to the ground, unable to stop Irving's progress.
Gone!
Argentina's back line collapses!
The young boy chasing the wind, who was faster and stronger than four years ago, single-handedly hit the Argentina goal!
The entire audience held their breath, and the Argentinian fans were praying in their hearts with desperate expressions. The English fans had clenched their fists and were always ready to cheer for that lightning-fast figure, just like France four years ago.
In this World Cup, Irving was given more tasks. He firmly carried out what Aldrich asked him a year and a half ago: pass the ball.
It is this kind of limited forward support that makes England's offense not only fast, but also clean and full of changes. As for Owen, it's not that he has no chance, it's not that he doesn't have it. If he can perform beyond his level, he will have already scored and will be the number one in the team.
Scorer.
In this game, his shot hit the goal post. Irving was not willing to give in. How could he give in?
England brought three forwards. He is the most famous and the strongest. Engla arranges his troops and is the one who is at the forefront to attack the city. He is the only one who can make the whole of England have high hopes.
This time, he wants to prove to everyone that Aldrich's trust in him is correct!
I am England's number one striker, irreplaceable!
In the penalty area, Irving was less than 10 yards away from Cavaleiro who had abandoned the goal. The young boy who chased the wind did not hesitate at all. Without thinking, he simply volleyed the ball without giving Cavaleiro any chance to save.
, rolling into the goal against the inside of the far goal post.
The boy chasing the wind continued to run, running non-stop, spreading his arms, looking up to the sky and laughing. In the happy and hearty smile, there was no trace of the surging ambition, no trace of the sharp edge that would seal his throat with blood...
"3:0! omg! 3:0! Owen performed his specialty. When he ran at full speed, no one in the world could catch up with him, no one! Argentina's defense completely collapsed, and they were wantonly destroyed and humiliated by England!
This is a great England, this is a ruthless and powerful England, this is an England that has the ability to realize its dreams! We
You shouldn't set goals for Hall, you shouldn't, that's a vulgar humiliation. Hall and the Three Lions will pursue their dreams, which cannot be linked to any utilitarian value. That's extraordinary. That's extraordinary.
It was a dream, it was a magical journey that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Seeing England's performance today, we are deeply impressed by the Three Lions!"
At the Sapporo Dome Stadium, the England fans in the stands were so excited that they jumped up and down. After being ecstatic, they all sang loudly, praising the greatness of England and praising their dreams!
The Argentinian fans looked numb and hurt. The blue and white waves were like a pool of stagnant water, with red flames flying freely above them.
Half fire, half sea water.
The flames are raging above, burning passion and reason. At the same time, they are also evaporating the roaring waves below, making them calm, silent, and cold...
The Pampas eagle soars proudly in the sky, free, romantic and unrestrained, as if the sky is high and the sea is vast for it to conquer!
The male lion from Europe is well versed in the laws of the jungle. He is cold, patient and wise.
The lion ruthlessly tore the wings of the eagle to pieces, causing it to fall to the mortal world, unable to fly again. The lion showed its sharp teeth and bit the eagle fiercely, with blood dripping from between the teeth.
The cry of the eagle fell on deaf ears...
3:0
Aldridge, who stood motionless on the sidelines for nearly an hour in the first and second half, suddenly felt a little tired.
He squatted down, much like Bielsa before.
And he turned his head and looked up slightly at Bielsa, who had a dull and confused expression on his face.
Madman, do you still dare to attack? (To be continued...)
