The first half of the final World Cup group match between England and Nigeria ends. ()
1:0
An unsurprising score.
But looking at the statistics of the first half, it is surprising.
The England team dominated all statistics.
Controlling the ball, shooting, and passing the ball, these three are dominant, it is reasonable, but the number of fouls and yellow cards is also dominant, which seems abnormal.
In the second half of the game, the whole world still saw that after England took the lead, they did not change their attitude and surrounded their opponents in the midfield. After the successful attack, they quickly broke into fast breaks. The midfielders quickly moved forward and became an attack point that was difficult to predict. From the overall perspective,
From the looks of it, this becomes a three-dimensional offensive and defensive system.
England's brutality and roughness have provided huge help to their offense, and this advantage is based on their enthusiasm for fighting, tacit understanding of the attack, and the transition between physical fitness and offensive and defensive awareness.
If the audience watching this game didn't like England, they would have already cursed the England team as hooligans and bastards, and then began to sympathize with Nigeria.
The two idiots fighting with boxing.
England seems to be a bit messy, but in the eyes of many football coaches, England has really maximized the abilities of Brother Naughty!
Catch Nigeria by surprise and make it dizzy.
Not to mention the frustration of attacking, if you are not careful, you will be beaten out of the defense, and you will suffer the humiliation of a group of rough guys. It is a great opportunity, but it will end with an outrageous shot, and then continue the next round of humiliation without looking back.
...
It is undeniable that a considerable number of people, whether fans, coaches, or world-famous celebrities, think that as long as defensive actions involve excessive physical contact or hidden tricks, they will use dirty, ugly, and various derogatory terms.
to describe a team.
But it is undeniable that fans who like England, or neutral fans, who simply appreciate this game, the England team's rough and savage defense creates a hearty and violent aesthetic.
The opponent just lost the ball in England's fierce pressing. The England team turned around and attacked non-stop. It was rough and there was no subtle coordination, but the victory was that this momentum was extremely domineering!
I will rob you ruthlessly. After robbing you, I will immediately go up to you and fuck you. I won’t play any tricks. You will be angry and domineering!
Nigeria coach Onibinder stood motionless on the sidelines from the beginning of the second half. He was indifferent to the passive situation of the team and did not make any adjustments.
His adjustments will not be effective, he knows. Because he is about to leave get out of class, it is no longer news that the Nigeria Football Association is discussing a coaching change. After losing to Sweden in the second game, the team's morale was weakened, and it was time for the generals to part ways.
It's been a frustrating World Cup journey.
But at this moment, Onibinder is not discouraged. His fate after class will not change in any way. For failure, someone must take responsibility.
However, after seeing the England team today, Onibinder's football thinking seemed to have opened a new door.
The center of world football is in Europe. The highest stage in the world is the competition between Europe and South America. Teams from other continents will be just helpers to accompany the prince to study. If they are higher, they are just a spoiler. This is the foundation and strength of football.
status quo.
African football is weak in all aspects, including infrastructure, football concepts, football talent base, and technical and tactical levels.
If the England team used the 4321 anti-counterattack tactics of the previous two games to defeat Nigeria today, Onibinder's mood would not have any fluctuation.
If someone is strong, there is nothing to say if they lose.
Just like if an African team encounters Spain's gorgeous offensive and is crushed, if they lose, they will lose. If their skills are not as good as others, there is no need to reflect on it, because you don't have other people's genius, so naturally you can't pursue other people's high-level skills.
tactics.
But playing England today is different, completely different!
Not only is the team's paper strength actually much closer, among the rough guys in the England team, only Joe Cole and Dyer feel like they stand out from the crowd, but it's not obvious, and the likes of Rooney and Smith
, he is completely a reckless butcher who goes on a rampage.
At this time, tactics played an important role in the extreme contrast between advantages and disadvantages on the scene.
And the root of it is just a group of rough guys who have good physical fitness and then press hard and "fight" with their opponents boldly. They seem to be unscrupulous, but they are secretly wise.
Onibinder was shocked. Not only did he have more respect for the handsome young marshal next door, but he also had a hint of admiration, because he suddenly thought that Europeans may not be able to pursue this kind of tactics to the extreme, but Africans can!
Why not Europeans?
Because Europeans are arrogant, arrogant, and stand on the top of the world. Their pursuit will be a gorgeous offensive that is pleasing to the eye, rather than a group of "street gangsters" blasting opponents. Europeans not only want to conquer their opponents, but also make them kneel down.
Worshiping the earth shows its transcendent status.
Moreover, the quality of European talents also determines that it is impossible for them to pursue such a violent aesthetic of football.
Like some talented people, shouldn’t the head coach use them? If so, how many people would be willing to let them do the dirty work and be criticized by their opponents and spurned by the fans? Those outstanding and pretentious geniuses?
Even if it is the England team, if the main 11 players are replaced, will Owen be like Alan Smith? Can McManaman knock over the opponent like Rooney and then scold the opponent when the opponent falls to the ground to gain sympathy?
If the main players of the England team were to use such tactics, I'm afraid the effect would not be as good as the 11 players on the field now.
The 11 English players on the field now are just reckless and most of them are unknown. Even if there are any, they are not worth mentioning in the World Cup. At the same time, they must implement the arrangements of the head coach and dare not violate the slightest ambition to strive for the top position.
With limited talent, I can only work harder and sweat harder. Various factors are mixed together, so that the England team's current 11 players on the field can actually better implement the coach's tactical arrangements.
But the disadvantages are also obvious and rough, so they took more than 20 shots and hit the goal range less than 5 times. They scored only 1 goal.
Africans can develop this tactic better.
First of all, they are weak. It is not difficult for their players to accept this concept. Weak people cannot pursue magnificence.
Secondly, their physical advantage is needless to say. They will not suffer any loss against Europe. The key is whether they have that awareness. Today, Nigeria was stunned by the England team. If they could have imagined that the opponent would do this, or they had a plan.
In this way, the effect may be better than that used by the England team.
Onibinder, who was a teacher by training, began to reflect when his fate had come to a conclusion, and he happened to experience the new impact brought by England, which was ideological.
Successive losses to Argentina and Sweden made Onibinder realize that even though African teams may have some good international players, the overall technical and tactical level is too different from Europe and South America.
Facing strong teams, almost all African teams use counterattack, but not everyone can use counterattack. England defended against counterattack and beat the Pampas Eagles to death. Nigeria defended against counterattack, but they were still defeated by Argentina.
They were defeated, let alone reversed by the Swedish team later. To improve the strength of the African team, the technical and tactical level must be improved. Otherwise, they will not be able to match the talent of South America and the "cunning" of Europe.
Onibinder was agitated while watching the game. He did not complain for Nigeria. Victory and defeat are commonplace. If you lose, you lose. There is no need to refuse to admit it. He wanted to observe England's overall offensive and defensive system carefully and try to figure it out.
At its core, he even had the urge to go next door to ask Aldrich for advice.
Nigeria lost to England, and Onibinder lost to Aldrich, who is famous in Europe and leads the European tactical trend. What is there to be unwilling to do?
Besides, today you are not in the strongest lineup, and you are beaten so hard that you have no ability to fight back, which makes Onibinder even more convinced.
Aldridge used the first substitution in the 65th minute, replacing James and replacing him with third goalkeeper Robinson.
"The group stage has not yet been completed, and all 23 players of the England team competing in the World Cup have made their debuts. This makes England look more like a whole, a team. There is no doubt that Hall's approach
, can make the team more united, whether it is success or failure, it will belong to this 23-person team."
When Millwall's offensive football overwhelms the opponent to the extreme, a common scene will appear in the game: the opponent passes the ball long and hits the ball.
Today, the England team, with a group of tough guys like tigers and wolves, also achieved the same effect on Nigeria.
In the last 20 minutes, Nigeria retreated across the board to strengthen its defense. Instead of playing in the midfield, they simply passed the ball forward.
Terry and Campbell worked hard to keep the defense intact, but Hargreaves felt a little more relaxed and started attacking.
When England's troops press forward, they will not pile up in the opponent's penalty area. On the contrary, they will surround the opponent's penalty area with two layers. The attack relies on long-range artillery fire, and then controls the outer perimeter to attack continuously.
Their long-range shooting effect is not very good, but they cannot ask for too much. Their own strength is limited. If they switch to the main force, it may be so big. Nigeria does not dare to defend too far back, because among the main players of England, Scholes and Lampard
, McManaman, all have a good long-range shot, and Beckham can occasionally pass and shoot to scare people to death.
The England team's sports battle overwhelmed its opponents. The offensive wave was getting higher and higher, but there was no real threat. It was not until the 81st minute of the game that a corner kick was taken, causing chaos in the Nigerian penalty area. It was not clear who was in the crowd.
He kicked the ball into the goal, and then saw Lu Xiaopang rushing out of the crowd crazily and running excitedly to the sidelines.
Lu Xiaopang ran very fast, this was his first career goal!
The start of his career was absolutely legendary.
My first game was the World Cup, and I scored a goal in my first game!
Therefore, Lu Xiaopang was ecstatic and took off his jersey while running. However, this kid may have never tried to take off his clothes to celebrate after scoring a goal before. After all, he used to play in youth team games. Who takes off their clothes to celebrate in that kind of game?
It’s almost the same as two hundred and five.
As a result, the audience at the scene, as well as those in front of the TV, saw a strange scene.
Lu Xiaopang was taking off his clothes while running, but he turned over the jersey with his hands and covered his head without pulling it off. Probably because he ran too fast and his sight was blocked, and suddenly, he fell down and fell to the ground, but he still didn't take off the jersey.
, covering his head...
The audience in the stands of Osaka Nagai Stadium burst into laughter.
Aldridge covered his face and hands for the second time in this game. I couldn't bear to look at him.
He also smiled, but then he thought of something and his expression changed again, becoming a little angry.
Teammates who rushed toward Rooney surrounded him and helped him take off his clothes. Rooney stood up and pulled his teammates away with both hands. He wanted to continue to complete the celebration, but the referee saw him take out a yellow card.
Then, another red card was taken out.
Rooney looked down at the jersey in his hand as if he had been poured cold water on him. He had already received a yellow card before.
Lowering his head and walking towards the sidelines, Rooney was very depressed.
After all, I still didn’t make a majestic celebration.
He took off his jersey and made a fool of himself.
