The peak battle between the British and French champions of the past two major competitions has begun!
From the beginning of the game, the spirit displayed by the England team clearly suppressed the French team!
The England players on the field seemed to be holding their breath and letting it out at this moment!
For a long time in the past, England internationals have been under tremendous pressure in the national team.
But I don’t know since when, players like to return to the national team to compete, as if this is a haven, a place that is quieter and more relaxing than the daily life of the club.
Take Owen for example. He thinks he is one of the 10 best strikers in the world. However, his life in Liverpool has become increasingly depressed. This is due to Liverpool's inability to get the most important honors. When he comes to the national team, everything is different.
The difference is that England already lacks top strikers. Not only does his position here be unshakable, but his attention even makes him seem to be one of the three best forwards in the world.
For example, Beckham's commercial value rose again when he joined Real Madrid. However, the strange phenomenon is that when Real Madrid wanted to buy him, it wasn't him hugging Florentino's thighs and crying and begging him to buy him, but...
Real Madrid's bad season, Beckham will become one of the sinners, and he is an absolutely controversial figure. Otherwise, how could Florentino's opponent change "Beckham must"
Let's go!" Such a campaign slogan is included in the campaign platform? Election is not a personal appeal, but a group appeal! The campaign slogan is to win people's hearts. If it is unpopular, who will shout such a slogan? Regarding Beckham's positioning in Real Madrid, it has been
It’s not about whether he should start, whether he should be the main force, or how to use him specifically. It’s reached a point where “Beckham is one of the reasons for the failure of this team.”
Only when he came to the England national team, there were no doubts around him.
I, David Beckham.
I should be the main force.
I am a member of the World Cup Champions!
Lampard, who has been unhappy for a season in the turbulent Inter Milan, Hargreaves, who has made rapid progress in the past two years at Bayern Munich and is firmly established as the main player, wants to make further progress and establish himself as the main player of the England national team in one fell swoop.
, because Aldridge, who trusts him, will leave in the summer. Whether the new national team coach will trust him is hard to say. He needs better performance to
Improve his popularity within England. After all, he did not become famous in England and then go out to make a career. He came up step by step from the Bayern Munich youth training camp. An arrogant Englishman, who has nothing to do to pay attention to German football games? Even if he is
Bayern Munich doesn't get much attention either. They have their own league and they firmly believe that this is the best football in the world!
Gary Neville and Gerrard, who regretted missing the 2002 World Cup due to injury. If Ferdinand hadn't committed suicide on his own, I'm afraid Campbell still wouldn't have been able to become the main force...
Most of the players in the England team have extraordinary ambitions for the European Cup, and at the same time they have accumulated a lot of energy waiting to be released.
It's hard to explain clearly what kind of personality Aldrich has. But his national team seems very quiet, especially competitive matters, which are definitely resolved in the locker room. No disturbance from the outside can affect them, so that the players come to the national team.
The attention will not be distracted, even if the friendly match is a mess, the media is scolding, and Aldrich responds lightly, "I have never heard of a world champion being born in a friendly match", it is over.
Play football quietly and concentrate on playing football.
This is the atmosphere within the national team.
It's not their turn to worry about other things.
Even if they fail, it seems that in the end it will be their coach who will be pressured by public opinion, not the players themselves.
Compared with the past many years when "sinners" emerged one after another in England, now the players have already relieved their mental burden. This is the underlying reason why they like to come to the national team and have a strong fighting spirit.
In today's battle with France, the England team's momentum was astonishing from the start!
Irving's defensive harassment at the front end has become a habit. Although it has almost no interception effect, it has the tactical intention of intimidating the opponent.
Gerrard has B2B physical ability, Aldrich moved his position forward, so when the French team had the ball, from the center line to the opponent's penalty area, Gerrard's counterattack running range was very wide, and although he could not defend
In addition to his outstanding forward awareness, the midfielder's pure defensive interception ability cannot match
There are top defensive midfielders in the United States, such as Makelele. However, for a player who plays the shadow forward position, there is probably no one in today's football whose defensive ability can match Gerrard's. His running range and defensive effect are completely
Perfectly advancing the England team's defense to the first line of offense!
Scholes, Beckham, and Lampard have been a fixed midfield partner for three and a half years ago. They work well together on both ends of the offense and defense. Behind them, Hargreaves replaces Butt. Their personal defensive ability and momentum are also now there.
Faintly surpassing Butt two years ago, it can be said that after losing McManaman, Aldridge initially supported Rooney, but half a year ago he began to experiment with Gerrard playing the main role. This change sharply improved the England team's midfielder.
The hardness of the field!
If you want to fight, you have to fight!
If you have to run, run!
Be physically fit and have physical fitness!
The Three Lions are slightly retro in terms of combat style, which emphasizes the beauty of wildness, muscular confrontation, and the force of wind and thunder. A new aesthetic of violence makes its debut at the European Cup!
Compared with the England team's defensive line that retreated in the World Cup two years ago and coldly grasped every rhythm difference between offense and defense to launch a lightning counterattack, the current England team has turned the entire midfield upside down. It looks disorganized, but there is a faint sense of purpose.
Such a majestic and majestic momentum!
England's defense mainly focuses on blocking Zidane, and is wary of the opponent attacking from the left.
Coincidentally, in the process of constant adjustments and modifications, the England team's tactical routine is slightly similar to France's, which is to attack from the back.
The French team's right back Gallas has average offensive ability. On the England team, because of Southgate's age, Aldridge did not dare to let the team's two defenders decisively intervene, so he established a left-sided attack.
In the right-defense system, Neville mainly defends on the right. The attack on the right is left to Beckham.
The attack on the left is handed over to Lampard and Ashley Cole. Since Lampard is not a regular wide player, the only one who can really attack the side is Ashley Cole. This is different from the French team's use of Lizarazu.
Basically a routine, Lizarazu will cooperate with the left-leaning Zidane, and the offensive cooperation between Lampard and Ashley Cole is also very similar.
England successfully contained France's attack in the midfield!
Whenever Zidane tries to pass through the midfield, Zidane is blocked very tightly. If Zidane drops deep to organize an attack, either Zidane himself is in the frontcourt, or Zidane organizes and then rushes forward.
Waiting for the return pass from their teammates. The England team can force the French team's ball-handling players into a desperate situation, making them unable to complete the frontcourt cooperation with their teammates!
Especially Pires, he played as a right midfielder today. Let’s not talk about how the right-footed player will perform when he returns to the right side. He must at least get the ball first!
Zidane himself has the habit of leaning forward and left, and it is difficult for Pires to get backcourt support from Gallas on this side. Pires' running habit on the left exactly requires him to be completely reversed on the right.
To adapt, no matter how Pires handles the ball or responds with movements, not to mention that the outside world feels awkward. He himself feels uncomfortable.
The defending champion France team gave the impression that it was slow to get into the game, always a beat slower than England. The ball could not be found in the right spot, and if it waited for the ball to be received, it would be intercepted, and the attack was not smooth at all.
picture.
"The English team completely suppressed the French team on the scene. The French team seemed to have not woken up. Their overall reaction was slow. Was it because the English players ran too fast and too hard, or was it due to other reasons?"
"Maybe, one thing is for sure. Pires plays right midfielder, which is not the position he plays at Arsenal. Gallas plays right back. Gallas also plays center back at Chelsea. The French team's attack from the right is paralyzed.
, there is no threat on the right side. England's players have good physical fitness and a wide range of movement, especially this group of midfielders who can
They are good at offense and defense, and their defensive interception ability is stronger than two years ago. With the French team paralyzed on the right side, the actual defensive area in the stadium has become smaller. England has the advantage. It is not surprising at all. If there is anything strange about it,
Yes, that means England seems determined to break down the opponent's right-side defense. I don't think this is a wise move!"
That's right, after the opening, all England's attacks were directed towards the left side of the field!
Ashley Cole took the outside line, and Lampard formed a response in the left area of the midfield. Pires could not stop Ashley Cole's forward penetration. It can even be said that Pires moved to this side.
Defensive habits will also be affected.
Whether it is advancing from the wing in the backcourt or successfully intercepting in the midfield and then moving forward, the England team is playing well on the left, but the quality of Ashley Cole's passes is not high.
There was no threat in the penalty area.
Santini watched anxiously from the coaching bench. He was still very ambitious before the start of the game. It was only 10 minutes since the start of the fucking game, and he was immediately frightened!
He stood up and walked to the sidelines, making key demands on Lizarazu.
Zidane wanted to complete the "retracement of the backcourt" in front of the England team and then "step in to support", and then threaten England's goal.
You don't take the England team seriously!
Santini has full confidence in the French team's technical and tactical system that he has created.
At least they really killed everyone in the qualifiers, and the enemies were frightened wherever they went!
It's a pity that they just abuse food!
You can't become a god by abusing food!
In other words, no matter what formation the French team plays or how they arrange their troops, if the opponent is Cyprus, they can basically win!
Of course, if you arrange a 0-0-10 formation or use the forwards to play defenders, which is pure nonsense, then that is another matter.
Today, Gerrard provided a crazy counterattack in the frontcourt, which in a sense froze the connection between the French team's backline and the frontcourt, making them afraid to act rashly.
Even if Zidane retreats to get the ball, there is almost no forward point for the ball. Pires' movement timing is not at the same point as Zidane's. Henry's movement trajectory seems to have no tacit understanding with Zidane. Henry pulls the ball forward.
Side, Zidane wants to pass to the center, Henry retreats from the center, and Zidane seems to be looking for support from the side.
Galas has been under a lot of pressure since the beginning. Assisting is not his strong point. Now he is awkward and unable to move. Santini's eyes are bright. He knows that in order to activate the French team's offense, Lizarazu must play a more important role.
Important role!
Under Santini's instructions with a dissatisfied look on his face, Lizarazu boldly stepped forward with an assist!
Seeing this scene, Aldrich's eyes lit up on the sidelines, filled with an indescribable color.
Not only him, but also the England players on the field were shocked!
Lizarazu dribbled the ball forward quickly from the left. What surprised him was that England's crazy interception resistance did not appear in front of him.
As he advanced, the English team's defense continued to retreat, and the midfielder also retreated rapidly. Lizarazu passed through the midfield and constantly observed the changes in the situation on the field.
He seems to be isolated!
Zidane tried to run towards the center, but suddenly went to the left and came to the right front of Lizarazu, but was blocked by Skols in the passing line. Henry could no longer run to the wing.
, he and Trezeguet were looking for opportunities in a structured way inside and outside the penalty area, while Pires was a little confused on the other side, not knowing what to do.
In Lizarazu's eyes, the French team's offensive team was completely surrounded by the English team, forming a double-layered encirclement. He was the only one who was at the top of the attack, facing Gary Neville who was pressing up to press him.
.
Lack of a connecting point, Lizarazu hesitated for a moment and hurriedly passed the ball. The ball was not passed well. The ball did not rise and was cleared by Campbell's header at the front point. The bounced ball was directly forwarded by Scholes.
The movement is obtained and the speed is not reduced and the ball is forwarded.
Scholes was not dribbling very fast and passed the ball directly to the center circle. Behind Gerrard, Vieira looked for an opportunity to steal the ball, but Gerrard kicked the ball and knocked the ball across the right wing.
Beckham, who was on the edge of the sleeve, made a wild dash with the ball!
Lizarazu behind him couldn't catch up at all!
Santini's eyes widened as he saw the England team's attack breaking out across the board, while the French team's defense was not particularly tight because there was no one on the left side where Lizarazu was supposed to be guarding!
Aldrich raised the corners of his mouth slightly and clenched his fists subconsciously.
Santini, do you think Lizarazu is still the same Lizarazu 6 years ago?
The best left back in French history, he is 34 years old this year!
How could he still eat everything on one side?
Even though Beckham's dribbling speed is not particularly fast, the 29-year-old Beckham still has a clear advantage over Lizarazu, who is unable to regain his physical strength in a short period of time when chasing after sprints!
Lizarazu was chasing, but the distance between him and Xiaobei always remained 5 meters away, and there was no sign of shortening!
This is the kind of attack England are waiting for!
Playing on the left at the beginning is to lure the snake out of the hole, and let Lizarazu come out. Now that he has come out, don't waste your energy chasing after him, you will not be able to catch up! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
