Neither the golden ball system nor the silver ball system has finally become the mainstream competition rules in football. Naturally, due to the comprehensive consideration of various pros and cons, the golden ball and silver ball are just short-lived...
This World Cup adopts the golden ball system, and the golden ball system can be called the sudden death method, which will confuse or interfere with the team's thinking, because people always leave themselves a way out, and if there is a way out, they feel that they are still in comfort.
There will be a penalty shootout after overtime.
Although the fear of penalty kicks is an undisclosed secret, strong teams are no exception. Think of the Danish fairy tale and Argentina, which only scored 5 goals and finished second in the World Cup. How many strong teams have been ruined by penalty kicks?
But even so, if there is a penalty shootout and overtime, there is still hope. This is the last resort.
But with the golden ball system, penalty kicks have become a question mark.
Aldrich's risk-taking can be called a coincidence and he followed the trend.
If there was no golden ball system, he would not dare to risk his life like this!
Because in the eyes of the fans around the world who are watching this game, England is not fighting for its life, it is completely desperate!
The audience at the Saitama World Cup Stadium had a deeper experience. Looking down from the stands, England's overall formation, which was originally shrinking in the second half, burst forward almost at the same time!
So majestic and majestic!
It looked like 10 of them abandoned Seaman and then all charged into the Brazilian half like a death squad.
Can he play football like this?
able!
In the "ancient" period, when the 127 formation was still the mainstream, this was how football was played!
England's third line charged forward. However, the ball did not move forward and was still at Scholes' feet.
In an instant, the Brazilian team saw the opponent swarming towards them like locusts passing by. They were not frightened, but they were also shocked!
At this time, they only have four defenders. Cafu has just assisted and is now retreating at full speed. Carlos' position can directly return to defense without wasting time.
The arrowhead of Irving went directly to the ribs of Lucio and Junior.
McManaman also moved towards that direction, seemingly trying to force the open area behind Cafu after assisting him.
Although the Brazilian team's back line tilted slightly towards that side, they did not dare to over-invest. On Carlos' side, Beckham had already rushed to the full midfielder area.
Who knows if England is trying to make a fool of itself?
Kleberson's scalp was numb, and he directly chose to retreat. Not only did Lampard rush forward, but even midfielder Bart rushed over from the left area of the center!
He thought about it, and fortunately Cafu retreated quickly and he also retreated. At least in terms of numbers, he and Cafu could block Lampard and Butt on this side.
England's rushing players, including Ashley Cole and Mills.
They are like sprinters, they just rush and don't brake at all. The Brazilian team doesn't think about it for a short time. They just feel that their heads are about to explode now. The opponent has too many offensive points to attack the half court!
Zone defense or man-to-man defense?
Definitely the focus is on regional defense!
In man-to-man defense, they can't even do enough one-on-one coverage.
When the Brazilian team's front three reacted to defend, it was already too late. At least, they could not form an effective defense against this English attack.
Scholes only started to dribble forward when Ashley Cole and Mills both ran to the midfield position.
At this time, Ginger Head is the most critical person. If he loses the ball, the England team will immediately go to the grave.
Silva stood in front of Scholes. It seemed that Silva was planning to intercept Scholes.
The ginger head does not stick to the ball, calmly and gently push the ball sideways.
There were players from England coming up to help him, and Silva was shocked!
Southgate!
That's right, why did the Trident realize that it had to return to defense?
Because they were directly caught in the offside position, leaving a large area of empty offside position!
Southgate dribbled the ball forward and directly crossed the center line!
Ferdinand was behind him on the right, but he did not cross the center line. He kept in mind the task given to him by Aldrich.
He is the last defensive player.
This last one doesn't just mean that the position is last, it can be said that he will be the only defensive player.
If the England team's desperate attack fails midway, and if the Brazilian team wants to counterattack quickly, Ferdinand will be the one to cause offside. But if the Brazilian team attacks patiently, it will be the same with or without Ferdinand. In the end, the last man will be left.
, there is still a glimmer of protection.
Southgate continued to dribble the ball forward. Silva retreated hesitantly, but also with the intention of intercepting Southgate. However, as soon as he took two steps, Southgate passed the ball back to Xiang.
Scholes moved forward to distance himself from Silva!
This was not a particularly clean one-two, because it did not completely pass Silva, and the opponent still had a chance to recover and defend.
However, Scholes only took the ball two steps forward. At this time, the situation in the frontcourt was already very clear!
England's forces were concentrated on the left.
Owen, McManaman, Lampard, and Butt, the four of them forced the left half of the Argentine backline.
There were only three of them, Cafu, Kleberson, and Junior. Lucio moved slightly closer to this side. He could never lose the position in the middle.
Scholes made another cross pass before Silva got close, but it was not to Southgate, but to the left midfielder area.
Ashley Cole arrived just in time!
After passing the ball, Scholes moved forward decisively, and together with Beckham, they forced Carlos and Edmilson's defensive zone. Joining Scholes in the attack was Mills!
Brazil's defense is completely trembling!
I have never seen a team play like this, never!
Even Scolari was going crazy and wanted to shout hysterically at Aldrich: "How the hell can you be so crazy?"
Aldridge's layout of this offense is absolutely crazy, but no coach will ever imitate it. There is nothing worthy of praise except courage!
The golden ball system gave Aldridge a chance to take a chance and expose all his vital points to the opponent, but before the opponent stabbed England to death, he had to withstand the desperate attack of the Three Lions!
Yes, there is no way out, there is no way out!
Either you die or I die!
Aldridge did not want to be boiled to death by the Brazilian team, and the England team would never survive the 30 minutes of overtime.
He doesn't want to fight back just because he's not there yet. It's useless!
This blow is the final showdown that determines the outcome of the game.
If England rush forward and fail, they may not even have the physical strength to return to defense.
In this crazy last-ditch counterattack layout, some players simply moved, just ran, and formed a containment. For example, Mills, this is foreseeable!
But there are some figures that the Brazilian team cannot ignore. They have also become Aldridge's blinding pawns, such as Beckham! For example, Irving!
These two stars don't take on other tasks, they just want to contain them. They just need to run into positions and harass them.
The real trump card, the one who really makes the final decision, must be someone the opponent can't think of, and must be a player that the opponent will not put as the number one or number two threat!
Just like the England team listed Alien and Rivaldo as the first and second players to focus on. Why? Because they score more goals. Although Ronaldinho is an obvious threat, Ronaldinho is still farther from the goal than the previous two players.
Further away, Ronaldinho scored under the cover of the first two to equalize the score.
If you can't even target the number one threat, England's defensive counterattack will be a joke.
Conversely, in the eyes of the Brazilian team, who is the biggest threat to the England team?
Irving deserves to be the first player because he is a lone forward and he is also the player who scored the goal in this game.
What about number two?
It might be Scholes. The ginger ranked second in the team in terms of goals scored in this tournament. Lampard also scored a lot. Beckham's golden right foot might be the difference-maker with one kick.
Aldrich will not complicate the offensive routine, and will not pass n people around, and then determine who will solve the battle.
The core of this counterattack is two or three people. Scholes retreats to control the overall situation. Almost the whole team presses forward. Half of them only move to intimidate and harass the opponent's markers, which is the main offensive point.
, Owen, and Beckham are not responsible for the offensive task with the ball. The offensive transition relies on two people, one is Southgate, and the other is Ashley Cole who comes up in the subsequent echelons.
As for the terminators, there are only two, either Lampard or McManaman, who had not scored a goal in the previous game.
This cannot be fixed and can only be adjusted according to the situation.
Scholes's pressure on the right side of the penalty area was just a pretense to attract the defense, and Lucio slightly tilted towards Scholes from the other side.
England's attack was full of murderous intent this time, and Brazil's defense seemed to be in a panic.
McManaman and Lampard first pressed the left side, and then they spotted the space after Cafu assisted. There is more space on this side!
Now, Ashley Cole comes up with an assist and takes the ball in the left area of the front midfielder. Kleberson comes up to block it. Ashley Cole is observing the movement of his teammates before receiving the ball. He knows how to pass the ball.
Who to pass to, he chooses one of the two, if the person with a better chance appears in front of him, he will pass the ball!
Lampard initially moved wide and did not move out of a good position. This is the limitation of his inexperience.
At this time, McManaman ran out of the gap that Kleberson blocked.
Ashley Cole slanted the ball to the front right, and the ball rolled towards the middle of the Brazilian team's penalty area. McManaman ran from left to right and caught the ball. He carefully took a step forward and slowed down obviously.
It's to keep control of the ball.
Lucio immediately rushed in front of McManaman while swinging from side to side. When he saw McManaman raising his foot to shoot, he directly chose to slide over and intercept it head-on!
However, when he lost his center of gravity and slid sideways to the ground, Iron Guard Lucio's face was filled with astonishment, and his eyes were full of horror!
The poodle McManaman actually made a fake move!
He didn't shoot!
When Lucio slid past one meter in front of him, McManaman seized this golden opportunity and swung the ball diagonally towards the goal at a slight angle!
This trip passed through the entire Brazilian team's defense. Although the angle to the goal was not too direct, McManaman couldn't care too much.
Don't be nervous, don't tremble, don't miss it, don't let down those who are expecting you!
McManaman didn't give Edmilson a chance to make up for the red card penalty. He stared at the goal and Marcos' position.
He was so exhausted that his calves seemed to be shaking. He endured the soreness all over his body, gritted his teeth with a firm face, supported his left foot, and powerfully stabilized his body. He raised his right leg and used all his strength to launch a kick.
Cumshot!
After this shot, McManaman no longer had the strength to support his body, but even when he rolled to the ground, his eyes were still looking at the Brazilian team's goal.
His calm eyes burst with joy and excitement. He saw Marcos trying to block the near corner of the goal, but he shot the ball to the far corner of the goal. No one could save him within the goal range!
He wanted to turn around and look at Aldrich immediately and say to him face to face: Boss, I didn't let you down, did I?
The poodle's kick helped the Three Lions reach the World Cup finals again after 36 years! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
