871 Journey's End

"After 36 years of waiting, my dream is about to come true!"

"McManaman wins the golden goal! The Three Lions advance to Yokohama!"

"Once a tiger can swallow up thousands of miles, England will be as high as nine heavens!"

...

Reports of the battle were pouring in, and the battle between Britain and Pakistan was spread all over the world, with mixed reviews for both teams.

Some people think that Brazil played the pinnacle of offensive football, and it was an honor to lose. Some people think that England relied on delaying and fouling tactics in the second half to enter overtime and scored the winning goal. Some people think that England defeated the two South American teams in a row and pragmatic counterattacks.

Will become the mainstream of football in the future, some people think...

This is often the case in football. The one who plays the most beautiful football, or the one who plays the most in line with the values ​​​​of more people, must win!

The Netherlands, the uncrowned king, can win the hearts of countless fans around the world, but it cannot win a Hercules Cup.

Whether a team is at the forefront of the storm, whether it wins or loses, there are those on the left who are grabbing their ears and scolding them, and those on the right who are holding their cheeks in their hands and admiring and obsessed with them.

When a team has obvious changes, it is easiest to highlight the head coach. The most intuitive change is the record, followed by skills and tactics. Even if a winning general changes skills and tactics, as long as he is still winning, the main coach

The role of the coach is not obvious, but the team's changes from strong to weak, from weak to strong, and the ups and downs of the record will be the time when the head coach is most likely to become the focus.

In the past, England was a bit stereotyped with 442, and its record was always neither high nor low. Who is the head coach? It seems that few are remembered by the outside world.

But now England's record has not only skyrocketed, but its technical and tactical play is also full of new colors. There is no way for Aldridge not to attract attention from the outside world. There is no way not to be praised or criticized.

Those who criticize him are simply saying that the young coach has become utilitarian and can only retreat, and even shamelessly let players use rough fouls, which is despised by others.

Those who appreciate him will analyze the efforts made by the head coach in the contest between England and Brazil. Whether it is the even score in the first half or the majesty of the final winning goal, they are all talked about.

This is the obvious Aldrich color, the young handsome style.

Not necessarily within a defensive or offensive framework. But there is always something unexpected.

The overall anti-counterattack has become a hot topic among the outside world. Among them, the flexible changes in counterattack routines, the use of forward changes, and the 9-man attack in the half that may never appear again. In short, it has given enough support to supporters and

The basis for the critic's theory.

McManaman became a hero. The British football program analyzed the attack that scored the goal in overtime with great fanfare, combined with Aldridge and the whole team players before overtime to plan tactics. There was no need to look for Aldridge.

Qi confirmed that the outside world knew that such a shocking and generous move must have originated from the deployment at that time.

Football commentators and celebrities from all walks of life have come forward to explain and analyze, and it seems that what they say is mysterious and mysterious. For example, whether the opportunity appears, develops, and ends, the entire process includes the right time, the right place, the right people, and so on.

However, Woodward, the coach of the England rugby national team, expressed the essence of it succinctly and clearly, which made outside observers feel like they were seeing the light of day: "If you think of England's last attack as watching a rugby match, football becomes rugby, and players use their feet.

Wouldn't it be much easier to understand without using hands? Aldrich Hall should probably consider changing his career to become a football coach, and I believe he will be able to achieve great success."

If a thoughtful person listens to it, he will think that this is really the truth.

Movement, attraction, disruption, the front row shields the enemy from wind and rain, and the back row attacks calmly and orderly, looking for the right opportunity to make the final decision.

It's a pity that this is football after all. No coach will imitate the routine of this offense. Football is interrupted, and the offensive and defensive teams are arranged to start from a static point. Football, except for a pause of 45 minutes, even if the game is interrupted during the rest of the time, there will be no interruption.

It may allow the formations of both sides to return to their original static state. In a flowing game, how can it be possible to attack as frantically as rugby every time?

However, when thinking about Woodward, outside supporters' praise for Aldridge has reached a higher level.

Look, the young marshal has borrowed lessons from rugby and applied them to football matches!

The England team left Tokyo on the night after playing the semi-finals. Four days later, the final would be played in Yokohama. They left for Yokohama in advance. The German team had already arrived in Yokohama on this day.

Aldrich did not reunite with his family, and Melanie came to Japan and traveled around with her two sons.

When preparing for the World Cup finals in Yokohama, the players of the England team were extremely serious on the training ground. During breaks, they sat in small groups on the court. On the first day, everyone looked a little confused. They probably felt that everything was not real. By the second day,

Things got much better in the next two days. We encouraged each other. Although we didn't talk much, we were united as one.

Ferdinand and Bart, who missed the final, still participated in training, but their condition was obviously different from others, as if they were more relaxed than the substitutes. Of course, they could not make it to the final.

At the same time, Ferdinand was involved in transfer rumors. Leeds United couldn't help but sell him to cash out. The situation forced them to have no choice but to pay off their debts due to lack of money.

At the same time, news came from England that due to differences over the transfer of Ferdinand, Leeds United coach O'Reilly had a falling out with Leeds United Chairman Richard Ridsdale and left!

It is certain that Ferdinand will be sold. His World Cup is basically over anyway. After the third day of training, he privately found Aldridge and had some discussions, hinting that he wanted to transfer back to Millwall.

, Aldridge pretended not to understand his hint and did not make any statement. In fact, Ferdinand knew that he could not return to Millwall. How could Aldridge not understand?

When it came to O'Reilly's resignation and Ferdinand's intention to return to Millwall, Aldridge always felt that both of them were unkind.

Without O'Reilly's request and commitment, how would Ridsdale bet on Leeds United's future in recent years?

After losing the bet, O'Reilly walked away, leaving a mess for White Rose. Even then, the media said that O'Reilly retired after his success.

Ferdinand was not kind, he just left when he wanted to, but now it seems that Millwall has sold Materazzi. The central defender position needs to be supplemented, so he came to recommend himself.

If he hadn't left Millwall, Aldridge would have taken him to the Lion King Stadium without a word.

But Millwall is no longer a place where he can come and leave whenever he wants. Whether it's the wealthy family or Aldridge's own face, he doesn't know how much his face is worth. Anyway, he doesn't want Ferdinand. There are so many good central defenders in the world.

, Millwall wants to poach people, needs fame and fame, and money. Are they afraid that they can’t buy people?

June 29

Aldridge attended the World Cup finals press conference. A few days ago, he was a hot topic in the city. Now it seems that all reporters are no longer picky and provocative.

The press conference was conducted in an orderly manner and was normal and uneventful.

"The German team is originally a team with excellent physical fitness. During their promotion process, this characteristic obviously made an important contribution to their victory in the game. The England team played overtime. Although it was not long, it was better than the German team.

It is true that one day less rest will give the German team a certain advantage in terms of physical fitness. But when I think about the World Cup finals, the impact of physical fitness has become minimal, and willpower is the most important. In this regard, the German team is world-famous, and I believe England

The team will enter the game with the same willpower as the German team."

"Barack's absence is good news for us. Without Ballack, the German team would not be able to reach the final. He is too important to the German team. He is the soul of the team, but as I said before, if Germany is underestimated because of this,

The opponent's team willpower will make England return with regrets. We also have two players who cannot play in the game. They are very sad. The reality is a bit cruel to them, but their teammates will use victory to soothe their regrets as much as possible."

...

In the evening, in Osaka, the Brazilian team, which failed to advance to the finals, was full of firepower. The Korean team, which competed on home soil, probably wanted to compete for third place and played very unrestrainedly, but was brutally beaten by the Samba Army like they were venting their anger.

6:0.

The 3r combination turned the Korean Tai Chi Tigers into pet cats and manipulated them at will. Hiddink disdained Aldrich's intensive defense before the game. The Dutch coach's natural offensive factor made the Asian Red Devils lose with great fanfare.

There will be no suspense for Alien to be the top scorer in this World Cup. He scored 9 goals in 7 games. Not only did he break the curse of the top scorer in the World Cup for more than 20 years, but he also ranked among the top scorers in the World Cup.

Klose, ranked second, opened up a 4-goal gap.

Can Klose score four goals against England?

Unless England's defense is papery, Saudi Arabia only allowed him to score three goals. If England really wants Klose to score four goals, it would rather believe that tomorrow will be the end of the world.

Ronaldinho also won a statistic crown through his outstanding performance, the assists king, with 9 assists.

At the end of the third-place match, if the Selecao's gorgeous performance were to be rated, it should be at least 90 points, 10 points worse. Among them were their adjustments in the group stage, which were not perfect, and the shortcomings of not being able to reach the finals.

But no matter what, this World Cup is a world of ice and fire. The passionate Samba Army has pushed offensive football to a peak in recent years, while the cold-hearted Three Lions have sublimated the anti-counterattack philosophy, and tit-for-tat has failed.

They also arrive at the same destination by different routes, attack and defend

The highest pursuit of balance has been perfectly demonstrated by the two teams. Maybe if they meet 10 more times, the Brazilian team will have a greater chance of winning, and England will not be able to win the opponent a few times. But in the semi-finals of Saitama, they finally laughed.

The last one is England.

June 30, 2002.

As evening approached, Aldrich sat on the bus and led the Three Lions toward the Yokohama International Stadium.

Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, we can see fans in all shapes and sizes, we can see the new look brought by the World Cup to the venue, and we can feel the charm of football among the crowd.

His face was calm, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The World Cup has come to an end, and the end of this journey is just ahead. The Asian World Cup is full of smoke, heroes are competing, and the countdown to the final battle has begun.

England, Germany.

The two are described as old enemies by the outside world, but in the past century, German bombers turned half of London into ruins. In 1966, Germany encountered a goal-line mystery, and England won the Hercules Cup for the first time. After that, it went without defeating Germany for more than 30 years. Now,

, the European political economy, Germany's game with the United Kingdom in the EU, the mutual impact of the pound and the euro, one after another, intertwined, endless grievances, indescribable subtleties.

Old enemy?

Definitely not. Germany overlooks England. A good league does not mean a strong national team. Germany is a long-established and strong team with medals of honor. England is actually a paper tiger. If the German team regards the English team as its old enemy, it is too shameless.

I pursued it, it’s so prestigious.

No matter how the outside media hypes up this war between England and Germany, England cannot be proud. Even if they slaughtered Germany in the away game in the last match, and Germany came to the finals carrying criticism and controversy, and one of the soul figures was unable to appear in the game, I think Wo

Le'er doesn't have any points at the moment.

Relaxation, walking on thin ice and caution may be enough. Aldrich led the Three Lions to defeat the two South American heroes to compete with the German tanks for the first place in the world. Of course, who will win will only be known after the fight. However, in terms of mentality, the two teams are affected by the outside world.

The impact is actually minimal.

Before dark, both Germany and England arrived at the Yokohama International Stadium. The final peak competition of the World Cup, which is held every four years, is about to begin. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
