Aldrich privately praised Stramaccioni's work after the meeting, much to the Italian's delight.
Aldridge also has a clear idea of the strategic deployment of the England national team's first game. The specific arrangements need to be carefully considered.
Compared to two years ago, England could beat their opponents to counterattack obscenely, but now the situation is reversed. They are the World Cup champions and the target of public criticism. They must be proactive and aggressive in their posture. Not only must they fight openly and openly with their opponents, but they must also be wary of possible opponents.
Will attack them conservatively.
In the new phase of the national team's transformation in the past two years, Aldridge has made corrections through the practical process of ideal technical and tactical design. The general tone has not wavered, mostly focusing on local fine-tuning, so as to make the entire team operate as smoothly as possible.
freely.
Aldrich, who has ten years of coaching experience, is still not a very experienced coach on the world stage. For example, France coach Santini has a coaching resume of 21 years.
In the late 1980s, Santini led Toulouse and eliminated Maradona's Naples in the UEFA Cup. The French team suffered a humiliating exit from the last World Cup and the national team changed coaches. Santini coached Lyon to win the domestic championship.
Promoted to coach the national team.
At the pre-match press conference, Aldrich expressed his respect and importance for the French team.
"The French team has the world's top stars. They are a super strong team and the defending champions of the European Cup. We faced them in the first game. It was a very severe challenge to England. Although we are younger and richer outside.
Impact, but I think at this time, the team with a more calm mentality will have an advantage in the game. I look forward to the first game of the European Cup, and the England team can play with the momentum that a World Cup champion should have."
Santini is not good at communicating with the media. He only made some formulaic remarks at the press conference. The outside world positioned France as the number one favorite for the European Cup, and he was not modest. He believed that the French team had the strength to successfully defend the title.
The curtain of the European Cup has begun.
On the first match day, the host Portugal played the opening match against Greece.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Portuguese team fell behind 0:2 to the Greek team at the end of 90 minutes of regular time. However, in the second minute of stoppage time, Ronaldo scored a face-saving goal.
As Spain came on the scene later and defeated Russia 1:0, the host Portugal's path to qualifying was hanging in the balance.
The second match day came, and Switzerland and Croatia, who were in the same group as England and France, took the lead. The two teams ended in a goalless draw 0:0 within 90 minutes.
This is very good news for France and England!
Lisbon Stadium of Light.
Fans of the Gallic Roosters and the Three Lions filled the stands, and the atmosphere was extremely passionate.
When the players from the two teams lined up to enter the field, the most watched game after the opening of the European Cup officially entered the eyes of fans around the world.
"A focused battle in Group B of the 2004 European Cup is about to begin! This is a battle of kings! The defending European Cup champion France and the newly crowned World Cup champion England are in the same group. This is a situation that makes the Football Association feel ashamed.
Light group results. The host Portugal and the defending champion France occupy the two first seed teams.
quota, and because the points for the brackets will take into account the qualifier results of the past two major competitions, even though the England team won the 2002 World Cup, they fell behind in points because they did not play well in the last two qualifiers, and thus failed.
After getting the quota of the other two first-seeded teams, it happened that we were assigned to the same group as France."
The team's classification has little to do with Aldrich. Even though he led the team to the last World Cup qualifiers, when he took over the team, the team had already lost three games. As for the 2000 European Cup qualifiers,
It has nothing to do with him.
Furthermore, the European Cup originally had 16 teams divided into 4 groups, so England’s draw was pretty good.
Compared to Germany, the Netherlands, and the Czech Republic, a three-for-one group of three, England's group has Switzerland and Croatia, two opponents that are not too strong at this time.
"The French and English teams are strong and have many stars who are familiar to fans around the world. This focus battle has naturally become the most anticipated game since the start of the European Cup! Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides.
France 442.
Goalkeeper: Barthez.
Defenders: Gallas, Thuram, Silvester, Lizarazu.
Midfielder: Makelele, Vieira, Zidane, Pires.
Forwards: Trezeguet, Henry.
England 442.
Goalkeeper: Robinson.
Defenders: Gary Neville, Campbell, Southgate, Ashley Cole.
What surprised us in the French team's starting lineup was that veteran Marcel Desailly was not included in the starting lineup. But on the England team's side, the most surprising starting player was Liverpool midfielder Gerrard, who is on the front line.
He is a midfielder, but England coach Sir Sir Hall has asked him to play forward. I don't know whether this change will have a huge impact on the game."
Since the end of last year, Gerrard has replaced Hyypia as the captain of the Red Army and officially carried the banner of Liverpool.
His own technical ability, experience and consciousness are also more mature. He is 24 years old. If he is not mature, he cannot be the captain.
Among England's forwards, apart from Owen, there is also the 18-year-old Rooney. It is difficult for other contemporaries to entrust them with important tasks.
Rooney is Aldrich's surprise player, and he will not play this card directly.
When it came to choosing Irving's partner, Aldridge chose Gerrard in the starting lineup.
World Cup two years ago.
Behind Irving are McManaman and Scholes.
Two years later, Aldrich placed Gerrard in the shadow forward position, a change that no one expected.
Gerrard can play this position because the most glorious season of his career was playing this position with Liverpool. Specifically refers to the league. A complete season. A sustained period of performance. Aldrich will not be because of a certain memory.
Players perform rashly in one game, such as Liverpool's miracle of winning the Champions League.
Neither Germany nor Germany can play a defensive midfielder, especially Gerrard. Aldrich will not forget when the "Jay return pass" started.
Neither of them can play the role of midfield commander. In terms of creative talent, neither of them can match Scholes' creativity in positional battles. Scholes' organizational role is more prominent.
Therefore, under the aura of almost omnipotence, if both players appear in the midfield, the area itself is small and the combination is not tacitly coordinated, there will be serious confusion. Even in the past British Parallel 442, there were two players in the middle of the midfield and one
6 and 8, one is defensive and the other is offensive. If the two are paired together, it is impossible to achieve a theoretical balance effect. Since there is no balance, it is even less possible to achieve the positive effect of chemical reaction.
Due to the shortage of personnel, Aldrich wanted to use his two virtues, so he began to change his thinking and separated the areas between the two. The roles were clearly assigned and the responsibilities were completely demarcated.
Lampard plays midfielder and Gerrard plays shadow forward!
Take sports movement as an example. When defending, if Lampard retreats to the midfield line, Gerrard's defensive position will be in the center circle. If Lampard retreats again, Gerrard will retreat again. When attacking, Lampard's defensive position will be in the center circle.
If Germany rushes forward and creates a deterrent in front of the penalty area, Gerrard, as a forward, will inevitably press into the penalty area!
All in all, neither of them plays the role of organizer. When defending, one drops deeper and the other counterattacks wildly in the midfield. When attacking, if one cuts in from the back of the midfield, the other is the front striker!
The two will not conflict in the same area. Regardless of offense and defense, their positions must not be parallel. Offense and defense from set kicks can be a different matter.
Wing attack, with Ashley Cole on the left and Beckham on the right.
After the European Cup, Aldridge will step down. Regardless of success or failure, he has decided to leave.
At this moment, he no longer has that timidity. If he continues, he firmly believes that he will lead the England team to achieve good results in 2006, 2008, 10 years or even longer in the future. He may not be a champion, but with experience
With the improvement of his accumulation ability, his confidence in himself is very strong.
But he is too tired. He cannot take care of everything including the club, the national team, his family, and his own life.
Two years ago, the "legacy" he planned to leave to England was a group of Three Lions who had been promoted, positioned, and molded into a united team.
Two years later, no matter what the results of this competition are, he hopes to leave a new "legacy" to his successor, that is, in the next 5-8 years, the "double German combination" in the England team will be enough to take the lead based on age and condition.
.
Avoid latecomers from mistakenly using the double-German combination, and try our best to allow both Germans to coexist in the national team and exert their strength and make contributions.
Looking at the players lining up on the sidelines for a pre-match photo, among England’s short-cut players, who would have thought that the one with the longest hair among the starting lineup is Gary Neville? Beckham also shaved his hair, which looks quite energetic and capable.
In a short time, England came to the European Cup as a new World Cup champion. Their spirit and appearance showed a good sense of urgency.
Aldridge holds his head high. He has achieved career success in England. More or less, he has benefited from England, such as the reform of the Premier League, the general development trend of the Premier League, etc. The reason why he did not resign two years ago is because
It was also a desire to repay England.
To this day, he has no regrets about England in his heart, and even when he leaves one day, he can turn around and move forward freely.
Santini was sitting in the coaching bench next door. His face was as sinking as water, but there was a fire burning in his heart.
Not far away, that is the World Cup champion coach!
The only current coach in the world who has won five Champions League titles!
Defeat him!
Crush him!
Crush him!
England is not Millwall.
The French team is not one of the strongest European clubs.
In terms of paper strength, the French team is slightly stronger than the England team!
Santini firmly believes he can defeat Aldridge.
Peel off the young marshal's championship coat and take away everything from him!
Aldrich Hall, in this battle, I will step on your corpse and become famous all over the world! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
