Being a head coach requires the ability to be sanctimonious and inconsistent.
The alien's shot clearly made Aldridge's heart tremble, but his expression did not change, and he still had the same expression as if the mountain was collapsing before him.
This has nothing to do with confidence, it simply sends a signal to the players to make them calm, calm, and not panicked in the face of chaos.
What a panic!
Anyway, the ball didn’t go in!
After the Brazilian team finished the corner kick attack, Aldridge made a gesture to the players on the field, which meant to strengthen the protection in front of the penalty area.
Let the alien directly face the defender in front of the penalty area, and there is no obvious pressure on the left, right and behind. How many defenders in this world can block the alien one-on-one?
Even though Southgate was deceived by a simple fake move by an alien, there are countless defenders in the world who can't be deceived by aliens on one hand.
Southgate is quite smart. After being deceived about his center of gravity, his next movement trend is not to go to the aliens, but to retreat. If he didn't have this movement trend, I'm afraid the aliens would rush in.
The restricted area has become a single sword.
Obviously, the back line cannot be allowed to face the alien challenge directly one-on-one.
England was afraid of Brazil, so they strengthened their defense and weakened their offense.
Isn't it possible that the Brazilian team is afraid of the England team?
Even if they regained control of the midfield, it was obvious that they were also cautious in attacking.
Cafu only played a supporting role in the offense and did not dare to press boldly. Silva and Kleberson, the two central midfielders, also focused on defense. They were barely in the middle circle. The offense relied on the trident and the wing duo.
Provide limited support.
No matter how the offense is played, it is the center that threatens the goal the most. When the England team strengthens the protection in front of the penalty area, it seems like a compressed version of the Christmas tree is placed inside and outside the penalty area. No matter how good the Trident is, it cannot overturn the entire defensive system.
The wing gives them a certain degree of freedom of movement, but the Brazilian team's crosses have no obvious effect, and they do not have a pillar center.
But if we continue to play like this, it is really not good for England. Just like a spring, other teams do not put enough pressure on England, and there is room for the spring to rebound. But after the Brazilian team continues to exert pressure, they are fully capable of crushing the spring!
"England's defense has been very successful so far. We have separated Brazil's offensive combination with more defensive numbers. Ronaldinho played very well on the left, but he can only play with Carlos.
The cooperation between the two people does not produce many changes, and the two-on-one sometimes fails. The close connection between Rivaldo and Ronaldo has also been lost.
Coles' return to defense helped Butt relieve the pressure in the middle, as well as Southgate. This experienced defender plays a very obvious role in this kind of game. He sometimes boldly steps forward to support the defense of the midfielder and makes key plays.
He knows better than anyone else that if the backline is lost, it will be very dangerous for the defender to face Ronaldo and Rivaldo in a one-on-one situation."
"But our main focus is on defense, so people can't see the hope of us scoring. If we can't score, is Hall's plan to drag the game into a penalty shootout? According to Fleet Street's pre-match report, it seems
I mentioned that England did practice penalty kicks in preparation for the game..."
After Ronaldinho was intercepted for the third time in the game, he looked back at the position of his teammates. His eyes were quite helpless.
The Brazilian team still hasn't completely let go, no!
Want to crush England's dense defense with the help of the trident?
What a big spring and autumn dream!
Even if others don't touch the ball, as long as they come up and stand in position and pose a threat to the penalty area, they can play a containment role, deter England's defense, and create more space for the Trident.
As it is now, there are four midfielders, except Carlos, because Ronaldinho can move from side to side and has a wider range of movement, which gives Carlos the help to unleash the attack.
On the other side, Rivaldo is more inclined to play in the middle. The wing is originally reserved for Cafu, but the old captain is mature and prudent and still wants stability. Rivaldo is more of a supporter. If he can be like Ronaldinho,
In this way, the side and center activities are threatening, and the Brazilian team's offense will be more energetic.
Ronaldinho will not judge his teammates, especially the seniors of the national team, but when he is in the Brazilian team, it is really different from when he was in Millwall. In Millwall, he is one of the kings!
In the Brazilian team, although he shines, he still has to play against Rivaldo and Ronaldo. If Ronaldo can transcend the limitations of a center like Henry did at Millwall, the power of this 3R combination may really be able to
Be invincible, even if your opponent sets up an iron barrel formation!
In terms of strength, Rivaldo is as good as anyone, and his contribution to the Brazilian team is no less than that of the aliens, but his popularity is slightly less than that of the aliens.
He is the first star under Andrew to reach the world's top ranks, but whether he moved to Barcelona or he was unhappy in Barcelona, Aldrich never had the idea of inviting him to join.
The reason is Rivaldo's character. Just like in the original history, Rivaldo, who won the Ballon d'Or, returned to Barcelona and said to all his teammates in the locker room: From today on, I will no longer play on the wing!
If a Millwall player said something like this in the locker room, without waiting for a reaction from the locker room, Aldridge would have only one word to answer: Get out!
Football is a team sport, not a player's private stage.
You think? He thinks?
Everyone plays according to their own ideas, but who do you listen to?
A player, even if he is a world-class player, even if he is the best in the world, even if he is Mr. Ballon d'Or, can his thoughts be more comprehensive than that of the head coach? Can he be more mature than the head coach?
Aldridge has always been dissatisfied with people, and he and Van Gaal were not on the same page, but when it came to Van Gaal's falling out with Rivaldo, he believed that Van Gaal did nothing wrong. As for whether Van Gaal was unable to make good use of Rivaldo
, controlling him is not important at all.
If the head coach wants to listen to the players, it doesn’t matter if the head coach is inappropriate. Since he is in charge of the job, he must have the majesty of the head coach!
The current Trident is indeed very strong. But they can still be stronger. It’s just that they haven’t done it. In 3r, everyone can do better, including Ronaldinho, but they all have their own limitations.
Waldo is more active in the middle and lacks changes in the area of activity, which makes him restricted in intensive defense.
Ronaldinho is not a head coach, but he has experienced hundreds of battles. He has been on the top stage in Europe for four years. What magnificent scenes have he not seen?
The Brazilian team is now both cautious and a little naive!
Obviously, the Brazilian team's offense encountered unprecedented difficulties in this game.
Aldrich called Brazil the strongest opponent England has faced since entering the World Cup.
Brazil team, so why not?
And let’s talk about the previous 5 games.
The England team actually played a more valuable game than the Brazilian team.
The opponents that England has defeated are: Sweden, Argentina, Nigeria, Senegal, and Türkiye.
The Brazilian team is: Türkiye, China, Costa Rica, Belgium and Sweden.
Among the five opponents that the Brazilian team defeated, Sweden was the strongest, but it was at the top of the international second-rate, followed by Türkiye and Belgium.
The strongest opponent that the England team defeated was undoubtedly the Argentina team. Although the Argentina team was eliminated dismally, their strength was at the bottom of the class.
For England, when facing Brazil, neither the psychological preparation nor the opponent's strength span is too strong, especially since they focus on defense.
For Brazil, the span of opponents' strength appears to be drastic.
England's strength on paper is indeed not strong. Even if Beckham is extremely popular, regardless of his reputation, who in the 3R team will not clearly surpass him in terms of his competitive strength?
But England's comprehensive technical and tactical strength has made this team's overall strength reach a first-class level. It is by no means the strongest, but it is definitely stronger than it looks on paper. Just as Argentina has actually dropped by half a level, England has improved.
More than 35 minutes into the game, Ronaldinho never looked at Aldridge. He knew that if he continued to play like this, if the Brazilian team did not change and had an advantage on the court, it might be digging his own grave!
Therefore, he had no choice but to try for a personal breakthrough and make some changes, but all failed.
The Brazilian team's offensive pressure lasted for more than ten minutes. The most dangerous attack was the alien's shot that hit the goal post.
After that, the England team strangled the Brazilian team's offense outside the penalty area and became familiar with the opponent's routines. The Brazilian team remained unchanged, which caused the offense to fall into a stagnant water.
Ronaldinho can feel the problem, but Scolari can't?
Of course it's impossible. Scolari is also considering taking advantage of the last period of the first half to take a risk?
England's counterattack didn't show any tricks.
When it comes to the offensive threats from both sides, they are actually pretty much the same.
Although the Brazilian team controlled the midfield and besieged England, it was not a problem for England's counterattack to reach the frontcourt. Although England invested less troops, it won because of the large space in the frontcourt. A few attackers could move into position and win.
He just wanted to challenge the Brazilian team's defense by holding the ball, but he didn't have that personal ability.
What both parties need is exactly what the other party has.
The Brazilian team wants space, and the England team wants super individual ability.
It's really a subtle confrontation between the needle and the wheat.
The Brazilian fans in the stands of the Saitama World Cup Stadium were full of enthusiasm, while the English fans were cheering a little sadly. It was obvious that the English fans were on tenterhooks.
On the scene, it seemed that Brazil was attacking fiercely and could pose a threat at any time, while England's counterattack was only two or three people, which really felt like a mayfly shaking a big tree.
But Aldrich's eyes became sharper.
He saw that the Brazilian team's offense was beginning to become weak and lacked changes!
The midfielders did not press forward boldly, forming a regional containment and tearing England's defensive formation apart. No matter how powerful the trident was, its capabilities were limited.
Aldridge saw the second opportunity in this game where England could take a chance!
This opportunity still comes from the opponent, not the players on the field, but the opponent's coach: Scolari!
When it comes to the semi-finals, it's understandable to be cautious.
But Scolari seemed to lack some boldness.
He wants to make the Brazilian team invincible!
It's a good idea, but it doesn't fit well with the current situation of the Brazilian team.
The England team goes into the match claiming to be invincible, and that's because of their defense.
The Brazilian team relies on offense to survive and even dominate the world!
Attack is the foundation for their invincibility!
But Scolari did not let the midfielder press up. His wishful thinking was to absolutely defend England, and then rely on the trident to complete the offense.
If you want to conquer the world, how can such a good thing happen?
Is it because he has abused Türkiye, China, Costa Rica and other minor players before that Scolari really thinks he can win the Hercules Cup easily?
The corner of Aldridge's mouth was slightly raised, and he showed a sinister smile in the scene that was not caught by the live broadcast camera.
The third tactical order has been issued, and it’s time for England to come up with a real trump card! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
