The performance of the new World Cup champion in his first appearance after winning the championship was astonishing.
The offensive and defensive system is disorganized, and the defense seems to be full of mistakes. The various fronts are not closely connected. Multiple points often attack one point to expose huge openings to the opponent, or there is a lack of teammates in key positions to supplement each other and assist in defense. The offense is even more miserable.
Carrick, Gerrard, and Joe Cole seemed to be incompatible in the midfield and frontcourt. They either stood there and tried to control the field, or they rushed forward together and lost the sense of hierarchy.
Alan Smith started as a forward, but looked like a midfielder in the game. James Beatty was selected for the national team for the first time. He was eager to perform and tried to shoot by himself when he had the chance. He seemed to have no teammates at all.
The England team is like a straggler fighting on the field.
The Dutch team obviously had many good opportunities, but they wasted them again, and even the English fans felt that they wasted them in an incredible way.
For example, in the 35th minute of the first half, Seedorf and Davis cooperated to penetrate England's defensive midfielder and came to the area in front of the penalty area. Van der Meyde, who cut in from the wing, was waiting for Seedorf to make a through ball and get into space.
Also, as long as Seedorf passes the ball, Van der Meyde can get a single shot diagonally towards the goal.
Shot, but Seedorf just passed the ball to Kluivert, who was being closely guarded by Campbell and could not get out of the space. Then Kluivert handled the ball on the spot and failed to get past Campbell, nor to get out of the space, and then was caught by Campbell.
He stretched out his foot and poked the ball away, and a perfect opportunity was wasted.
Before the end of the first half, Aldrich walked to the sidelines and made a simple gesture, asking the team to slow down the pace. Since the faster it is, the chaos will be worse. It is better to slow down and organize the offense slowly. At least,
There will be no chaos on the scene.
The Dutch's problems are becoming more and more obvious. They don't look like a team, but more like a three-party game on the field.
Speaking of the glory of the Netherlands, it is inseparable from the contribution of the Surinamese people, but Suriname was founded in 1975. It is not difficult to understand that after the post-70s generation represented by Seedorf retired from the Dutch national team, the Netherlands' talent production rate plummeted
, which lacks the contribution of an important Suriname talent pool.
The first half of the game ended after Gerrard's long-range shot from outside the penalty area missed, and the score was tied at 0-0.
Aldridge did not criticize the players when he returned to the locker room, but focused on arranging the responsibilities of the offensive system.
Especially in the midfield, Hargreaves defends and intercepts, Carrick sorts out the connection between the front and backcourt, Gerrard makes a surprise attack, and Joe Cole takes on organizational tasks at the front waistline. The two forwards advance forward when attacking and retreat to disrupt the situation when defending.
.
This is not an ideal distribution of responsibilities, just a temporary response to the game.
In the second half, England's performance improved, and the defense was driven by clear offensive responsibilities.
The Dutch side probably held an ideological education meeting for the entire team during the halftime break, and most of the obvious black-and-white infighting in the first half disappeared.
In the 58th minute, the England team finally launched a very threatening offensive.
Joe Cole formed a continuous triangle pass with Bridge, who came up with an assist, and Carrick behind him, and then interacted with Alan Smith, who was retreating to support. The latter kicked a ball straight behind Beatty who was running forward.
Thi was frustrated, his movement took away the Dutch defense, but the ball was not passed to him.
From behind him, Gerrard rushed up and entered the penalty area. He just received Smith's pass and formed a semi-one-on-one move. Almost 12 yards away from the goal position, Gerrard's explosive shot was saved by Edwin van der Sar.
Block it out.
"Beautiful, England played like a world champion in this attack! It's a pity that Gerrard failed to send the ball into the Dutch team's goal."
Aldridge sat in the audience and applauded the team. Among the players on the field, Gerrard is considered a figure worth relying on for the new national team, not because of his reputation, but because of his technical characteristics, but because of the incompatibility between Germany and Germany.
, I'm afraid Gerrard will continue to be a substitute, but at least he has a surprise player.
In the 60th minute, Aldridge made a large number of substitutions, giving Crouch, Phillips, Dyer, Butt, Phil Neville, Brown and others opportunities to play.
The Dutch side still stood still.
Advocaat felt really bad when he saw England's catwalk-like substitutions.
The young marshal didn't take this game seriously.
It always feels like a fist hitting cotton.
After all, what if you really win?
Can you represent the Netherlands and be more worthy of wearing the crown?
However, the players on the Dutch team were angered by England's nonchalant attitude.
In the last 30 minutes of the friendly match, no room was left for real swords and guns. The Dutch team fought hard and the scene was unrestrained and passionate.
The England team did not have an advantage on the field. Fortunately, Aldridge now deployed a double midfielder of Butt and Hargreaves, and the defense was still solid.
The Dutch team replaced center Kluivert in the 70th minute, and Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, made his debut.
The Dutch team played more and more vigorously, and the continuous offensive pressure made England's penalty area jittery. Finally, in the 85th minute, van der Meyde assisted Ruud Ruud and scored!
Aldrich looked a little helpless off the court.
He can accept losing the ball.
However, if you were to give the opponent a chance, then it would be too cowardly to throw the ball away.
"Van der Meyde made a pass, and James made a mistake! Van Nistelrooy headed the ball into the empty goal, but James failed to touch the ball. This mistake was so inappropriate!"
James is not getting any younger.
32 years old.
As a goalkeeper, this should be the age group that is in the best shape and has enough experience.
However, this low-level mistake still happened to James.
"You will make mistakes in your judgment when passing the ball. How can you be reassured?"
"How about replacing it with Robinson?"
Aldridge thought for a while and said: "Well, after the qualifying rounds start, let's try Robinson. Alas, England's goalkeeper."
The Dutch team won the friendly match, and England lost 0:1 at Anfield. After the game, Aldridge and Advocaat talked for a while on the sidelines, and left Anfield without attending the post-match interview and announced
England team disbanded.
The national team roster will be announced again before the training camp next month.
The national team's competition tasks have come to an end for the time being. However, the work of the national team's coaching staff has begun to get on the right track. It is in full swing and in an orderly manner.
Aldrich returned to London with his two sons. Yiwen's due date was still three months away. He began to concentrate on staying with his family in London. He hired a tutor to start educating Bert and Earl. However, the child Bert always
When he sneaks out to play football, Earl is more obedient.
As for the panic in Fleet Street as England lost the friendly, Aldridge turned a deaf ear.
Aldrich's life has become very regular. One day every week he goes to the youth training base to teach. The other six days can be arranged freely. He has time to travel around with Yiwen, and time to study and entertain with his children.
Live a leisurely and comfortable life.
He does not necessarily go to the game every week. He only appears in the box at the Lion King Stadium when Millwall plays home games. Since the beginning of the new season, he has never said a word about the team's internal remarks in front of the media.
, even when talking about Millwall, they are talking about some diplomatic rhetoric as the chairman.
However, Millwall suddenly fell into a downturn starting in mid-September.
The League Cup ended with a bang.
In the Premier League make-up match after the FIFA match, Millwall also successfully defeated Charlton at home.
Wait until September 14th to visit Tottenham. A result that happened more than 400 days later befell Millwall!
Lose!
Tottenham beat Millwall 3:2 at White Hart Lane!
Nesta was injured in the first 18 minutes!
Alessandro Nesta, the top transfer bidder of the Premier League in the summer, only played two games and had to recuperate for 3 months!
Tottenham coach Glenn Hoddle is proud of his success. Tottenham have had a very ideal start to the new season. After defeating Millwall, they ranked in the top four in the standings with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss!
Fleet Street condemns Klinsmann.
"The Times": The myth of the undefeated lion ends at White Hart Lane!
"Daily Mail": Does Klinsmann want to tire the Lion to death?
"Daily Star": Tottenham defeated the Lions 4321. Did Sir Hall watch the game?
That's right, Tottenham's tactics for defeating Millwall at White Hart Lane were recognized by Fleet Street as the 4321 technical and tactical system used by England to win the World Cup. It was not a copycat, it was really similar.
Hoddle also admitted generously after the game, saying: "The technical and tactical system used by England to win the World Cup has always had a profound impact on English football. It was 442 back then and it is 4321 now. I don't think there is anything wrong with English clubs using this tactic.
Question, this will make us brilliant! Especially facing a super strong team like Millwall, 4321 is very targeted. I am very happy that we ended Millwall’s unbeaten streak. In almost a year and a half, the entire Europe,
Only Tottenham have managed to beat Millwall!"
Some media also think that Hoddle is a bit shameless. 4321 is too conservative and will not be accepted by the mainstream in England. His arrogance is nothing more than using 4321 to play Millwall today. If he plays another team, use this tactic again.
, I’m afraid it’s the result of imitating Dong Shi.
Millwall's internal problems have also been focused by the outside world.
Klinsmann did not rotate. In the second half of the World Cup year, there is already "World Cup syndrome" in the new season. Among the Millwall players and frontcourt players, except Henry, who played one and a half games in the World Cup, other players
Ersson played 5 games, Ronaldinho, Lampard, Klose, all of them participated in the World Cup from beginning to end!
Since the start of the war in mid-August, Millwall, who have not been rotated, have been traveling here and there, going to Wales and Monaco. The physical exertion of running back and forth is even greater. In addition, England's schedule is intensive, and FIFA games are interspersed.
A series of factors, including Millwall's lack of rotation, made the defeat at White Hart Lane seem logical.
The newly defeated Lions in the league had not yet taken a breath and went to France to participate in the Champions League. Klinsmann still did not dare to rotate and sent the main players away to attack. Millwall, whose physical condition was already at the end of its strength, was upset again.
The first stage of the European Champions League group stage.
Lens 1:1 Millwall. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
