"When England faced France, 1:0 was an extremely fragile advantage. But now, they have turned the score into 2:0, leading the defending champion France by two goals! The French team may not have been shown by Southgate.
The red card caused the mentality to be somewhat unbalanced, and the England team
After the meritorious captain retired due to injury, he was stimulated to burst out with stronger courage. The French team's free kick failed to break through the door of the English team. Instead, it gave the English team a fatal counterattack from the backcourt. The English team's counterattack has always been
Simple and direct, this is what happens in the World Cup
It was eye-opening. Neville passed the ball to Beckham. Beckham made a long pass to Irving. Irving dribbled the ball deep. The offense quickly developed into the dangerous zone of the French team and did not allow their frontcourt players to return to defense.
Defensive chances, Lampard must be commended for flying out from the back
The energy to rush up quickly, and the calmness when he passed the ball to Gerrard. Gerrard completed a cooperation with club teammate Owen. Gerrard broke through diagonally and passed the ball in front of the goal. Owen outflanked the score to expand the score. England's top scorer
A good striker scored twice, giving the Three Lions a two-goal lead!"
Although Irving and Gerrard ran to celebrate arm-in-arm, Aldridge did not show much joy on the sidelines. He waved to Scholes on the court with an indifferent expression.—{2}{3}{w}{

England's counterattack has always been orderly and layered.
As soon as Lampard rushed up, Scholes did not rush forward again. Otherwise, if there was a counterattack, England's midfield defense would be empty.
Therefore, Beckham, Lampard and others ran to celebrate. Scholes was far away and was preparing to run over there. However, when he was clenching his fists and roaring, he saw Aldridge waving to him. His expression was stunned. Then he trotted over.
Sideline.
While the outside world continues to praise Aldridge and praise him for how great he is, Aldridge himself is very calm.
He can be said to have the advantage of "cheating" in terms of arranging troops, knowing people well and being good at assigning tasks, and having a keen eye for pearls.
However, there is one ability of a head coach. Aldrich said without humility: Take advantage of the situation and make decisions when the opportunity arises. No one in the world can beat me!
This ability was a self-breakthrough made by Aldrich when he summed up the tragic failure after defeating Munich in 1999.
As time has passed, people will still describe Millwall's defeat to Munich in 1999 as a regret, but Aldridge often thinks of the defeat at that time, and he feels more and more guilty. The biggest reason why Millwall fell before the penalty shootout was because of him.
Instead of taking the initiative to seize fate, he became waiting for the judgment of fate. So from then on, even if he took the initiative to seek change, it was ultimately a failure and a mistake. He didn't care. At least, if he died, he would die clearly!
Now England scored again, leading 2:0.
Aldrich did not wait and see, and made adjustments decisively without being affected by changes in the score.
After Scholes came to Aldridge, Aldridge said to him in a deep voice: "Paul, Gareth's injury requires us to make adjustments to the midfield and backcourt. Can you trust me?"
Scholes nodded without hesitation.
Aldridge asked again: "Are you willing to make sacrifices for the team? Let's be honest, if you don't want to, I can understand, because if you are resistant in your heart, even if you do what I ask, it will not help the team, but it will
There may be hidden dangers.”
Scholes is also nearly 30 years old. In the national team, he trusts Aldridge because Aldridge helps them succeed, and because Aldridge will not force others to do anything.
He had the same reaction as Gerrard when he was placed in a new position, asking: "Coach, what exactly do you need me to do? I believe that your professional ability will not make the wrong use of me, sacrifice? As long as we can win and win,
Just tell me, I will listen to you."
Aldridge nodded without any change in his expression, and then explained the tactical adjustments to Scholes for a short time. The ginger head listened attentively and nodded.
After understanding Aldridge's request, Scholes returned to the court and had a brief exchange with Lampard before kick-off to ensure that there would be no chaos in the adjustment of the midfield and backcourt.
After the French team kicked off again, Scholes' position retreated. His position was only a little further forward than Hargreaves, somewhat similar to a deep-lying organization, forward and left.
In the national team, Scholes has always been an attacking midfielder under Aldrich, and plays the role of central midfielder in defense.
Now, he is actually playing as a defensive midfielder, playing a role similar to that of Alonso at Millwall now.
This change, on the one hand, compresses the space between the midfielder line and the back line, and on the other hand, it also fills up the quality of defense on this side after Southgate's injury.
The fundamental reason is actually that England did not have a left-wing player who was good at both offense and defense during this period.
Although Joe Cole has offensive talents and can play on the left, he does not have the defensive help that Beckham can bring to the right.
England now needs Scholes to organize and deal with cards in the midfield and backcourt, sort out the midfield, and the frontcourt style of play will be dominated by wing attacks, with Beckham on the right and Ashley on the left.
Cole advanced the main force, with Irving at the front attacking in depth. Gerrard attacked from two points behind Irving or provided support for players who inserted in the back row, while the task of inserting in the back row was given to Lampard.
Because there is no player who is good at offense and defense on the left wing, Ashley Cole's one-sided attack will have hidden dangers when attacking. Pires gradually finds the feeling and gradually becomes a threat. There must be someone on defense on this side.
To make up for it, Terry blocked Trezeguet point-to-point, but the back-row blocker needed Scholes to intercept it. Hargreaves alone would never be able to do it!
Scholes has the ability to play this position well. The only question is whether he is willing to be arranged by the coach to play this way. He himself does not know that two years later in the original history, his position at Manchester United will retreat and he will bear the main responsibility.
The task was now assigned to him by Aldrich.
If he resists in his heart, his performance will definitely not meet expectations.
Now that Aldridge is asking him to play like this, he can do whatever he wants. Aldridge didn't burst into tears of gratitude or insisted on praising Scholes. This in itself is what a player should have in terms of professionalism.
I am the coach, you are the emperor and superstar, you should listen to me!
However, Aldridge has always been an open-minded coach. He is willing to communicate with the players and does not want to embarrass the players. If you feel uncomfortable, if you can't meet my requirements, I will feel uncomfortable too, so why bother?
Players who have played under Aldridge, whether in the national team or club, from a purely competitive perspective, no player will complain about Aldridge. He never makes extraordinary demands for the players. Now he has authority, even if he gives the players
When some unusual instructions are given, the players accept them readily. For example, Gerrard will not think that Aldrich does not know how to use him. Instead, he will think: Is the coach motivating me by using me like this?
Everyone believed in Aldrich's unique vision.
After the changes in England, the overall technical and tactical system is very similar to that of the French team.
The French team has no left midfielder, and neither does England.
The England team has a double midfielder, and the French team also has a double midfielder.
There are two intuitive differences. The French team has two centers! The England team has a pure shooter paired with a pseudo-forward!
Another point is that the French team's midfield organization relies on Zidane, with two midfielders behind him to protect or support.
The England team organizes the midfielder in front of a single defensive midfielder. Then the extra Lampard is more offensive and pressing than Vieira or Makelele.
After adjustments, England needed a period of internal adaptation. Therefore, at the end of the first half, England did not speed up the pace of the game. They focused on stabilizing the midfield and attacked slowly, trying to find the French team's aggressive or impetuous defense.
flaw.
The French team encountered a stronger midfield attack from the English team in the attack. Lizarazu did not dare to take the risk and Gallas's effect was average. The French team's frontcourt system was also unbalanced. Their frontcourt system was also unbalanced.
The offense was a mess. Zidane had several highlights when he got rid of the ball personally, but he was unable to drive the French team to play a beautiful and smooth offensive.
"At the end of the first half, the new World Cup champion England unexpectedly led the defending European Cup champion France 2:0! In terms of the overall situation on the field, the England team ran more smoothly than the French team, while the French team seemed to be
Putting all the burden on Zidane, Henry, Europe's number one striker, performed sluggishly in the competition as always. He did nothing in the first half and only touched the ball very few times. Henry has reason to complain. He is popular at Arsenal.
If Pires is playing on the left wing, he must
Although it can give him more offensive support, Santini placed Pires on the right, which does not seem to have much unexpected effect for the time being. Pires' performance is not as good as when he played as a left midfielder at Arsenal.
Power, on the other hand, the England team's offense is smooth, and the ball
Each player performs his or her duties, especially on the offensive end. The offensive and support points are reasonably distributed and organized in an orderly manner. The pressure they bring to the French team can be imagined. There are still 45 minutes left for the French team to catch up with the score. I hope the French team can catch up in the second half.
Show off the momentum of a defending champion!”
Aldridge returned to the locker room and emphasized the tactics of the second half. It can be said that Southgate's departure forced Aldridge to revise tactical details in a short period of time, which will be very important for the future European Cup journey.
In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Santini also made changes.
Henry pulls wide, left winger.
Although the overall structure of the French team is still a bit asymmetrical, at least the system looks quite satisfactory.
Aldrich is not worried about this. The decline of the French team is also due to the lack of talent.
The changes in the back line caused their front and backcourt to become two parts, the backcourt defense and the frontcourt offense. It is no longer a big team model with front and back.
The aging Lizarazu had already learned his lesson in the first half. Galas was not a full-back with strong offensive ability. This resulted in the French team's lack of depth when attacking, and there were more unexpected surprises.
Back then, Thuram was at the right back, Lizarazu was at the left back, and the French team had Zidane in the middle. In 1998, the French team, which was said to have no forwards, was able to play very smoothly. The threat from the back row made it difficult for opponents to guard against.
Now, the advantages of the past are diminishing.
However, Henry pulled aside, and there was Pires on the other side. First of all, he could tear England's defense line horizontally. This threat should not be underestimated.
In the 54th minute of the game, Henry received a pass from Zidane on the left and then dribbled horizontally in front of Gary Neville to accelerate. When he encountered Hargreaves in front of the penalty area, he passed the ball back to Qi who was running in.
Dardenne, the latter's shot hit the crossbar and bounced off, causing a burst of exclamations from the scene.
Aldridge looked ugly and immediately lost his temper on the sidelines, pointing directly at...Beckham!
He stared with an angry look on his face, as if he had the intensity to devour others. While staring at Beckham, he pointed his right hand at the opponent. When Beckham looked at him, he pointed in the direction of the England team's penalty area!
The meaning couldn't be more obvious: You fucking go back to defense for me!
If Lizarazu attacks, the England team will let Lizarazu pass through the midfield. This is a tactic of attrition. At the same time, it also creates the opportunity for Lizarazu to press forward significantly and expand the space behind him.
Beckham, you don't have to press, you just need to recover and retreat.
But after Henry pulled away in the second half, Neville would never be able to guard Henry on his own!
Once Henry dribbles the ball inside and comes to the defense zone of Hargreaves and Campbell, Henry can do so much!
Such a forward cannot be given space!
But Xiaobei didn't immediately keep an eye on Henry! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
