Volume 4 Chapter 18 Mark Channel!

"Terry made a huge mistake, he failed my trust in him," Capello said to the interview media and the camera, "I didn't hear anyone mention it to me, Beckham didn't, Lampard didn't, Mark didn't either"

"My door is open to anyone at any time, but I haven't heard anyone say anything to me. I don't know what Terry thinks. He can walk into my office instead of complaining to the media."

And Terry, the person concerned, just found out what happened after talking with the coaching staff, and then he quickly clarified to the media that he did not instigate the strife in the locker room. This is completely media speculation.

"I'm a World Cup England player, I just want to contribute to the team and find out what went wrong in our first game..."

Although England from the FA to the coaches and players quickly clarified the rumors of the team's infighting early in the morning, the heat in the media is still hot.

"F**K, they should spend their energy on the pitch instead of fighting a war of words," the Daily Telegraph said when interviewing fans on the streets of England about this matter.

"In order to support England to win the championship, I even reduced the frequency of x x with my girlfriend, and they are still in the mood to discuss whether they should go x x with my girlfriend? Shit!"

The reporter of "Daily Telegraph" turned to the camera and said: "According to our random survey, in order to support England to win the championship, England male fans have generally decided to reduce the frequency of married life during the World Cup so that they can concentrate on cheering for the team. Hearing this, England Shouldn't the team members of the team repay these fans well?"

"Terry should be deprived of the starting position, we don't need a player who creates infighting"

"Capello: Although there is a lot of pressure, I can bear it, and we will give the fans an explanation"

"Goalkeeper James: I am not close to anyone, and naturally I will not participate in what Terry said"

"Rooney: I apologize for dissatisfying the fans on the field that day, we will cheer up"

"Mark: Don't make a fuss, we will definitely find the state in the qualifiers!" "

For a while, there was a lot of news about England in the media news, although the team has closed the interview channel now, and will soon fly to Cape Town to participate in the second round of the game.

Whether or not to win Terry!

After struggling for a long time, Capello decided to suspend his team for one game. Algeria is the weakest team in the group, and he still has a chance to make things right. If Terry continues to start now, it will damage his prestige.

"Steven, sit down," Capello said, pointing to the opposite chair.

He called Gerrard over because he wanted to hear the current captain's opinion, mainly whether the players in the team had any psychological fluctuations.

"Now about the team, I want to hear your opinion," he asked straight to the point.

"Boss, the matter is not as serious as the media said." Gerrard was prepared and said directly: "Although the players do feel that the atmosphere in the team is very tense, but for the World Cup, they will not make any damage. in the interests of the team"

"Nervous?" Capello pushed his glasses and asked.

Gerrard nodded, "It's not pressure, it's tension", he shrugged, "It's hard for me to explain how this happened"

"Then why do you think?" He began to face up to this question.

"I think there are many factors. Many of us became England's sinners in the last European Cup. This time it is inevitable that many people have the mentality of atonement," Gerrard said uncertainly.

"In addition, after the busy season, many people have not had a rest, and they may be very tired psychologically. Coupled with the expectations of the media and fans for the results, it will cause a great psychological burden on the players."

"Hmm..." Capello frowned and thought for a while, "Do many people think so?"

Gerrard nodded affirmatively. After coming to South Africa, many of his teammates who used to be joking were very serious.

This is too obvious, "Many people are, but the youngest Mark is the most joking and relaxed in the team. This even surprises me."

"That's good," Capello nodded. He relies so much on Mark Qin, which is the best news he has heard in the past two days.

"So what do you think we need to do to alleviate this situation, like the media said, put a psychologist on the team?", he continued.

"No, it's not that serious." Gerrard shook his head and said with a smile. "I personally only think there are two points that need to be improved. One is to take a vacation at an appropriate time so that players can spend time with their families, which will help them To relieve the pressure, the other is whether our starting lineup can be announced earlier, so that we will be mentally prepared and know who we will cooperate with.”

Capello stood up, walked back and forth twice, thought about the wall for a while, turned around and nodded to Gerrard and said: "Thank you, Steven, I will discuss this issue with the coaching staff."

"It's okay, it's all for England"

Capello smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "I see."

When the World Cup reached the second round, it began to enter a tense stage. There were only three days of rest between the second round, the third round, and the quarter-finals.

That's why Gerrard said that he should think about it carefully and discuss it with the coaching staff before making a decision. In addition, the issue of the starting lineup has to change.

Regarding Rooney, Capello still trusts him very much, but he can't pin all his hopes on him. Maybe if he can't find his form in two or three games, England will go home.

He can't expect Mark Qin to save them every game. This is not the mentality that a mature coach should have. What he should do is to adjust the team to the best.

"I personally agree," Beckham said. After the routine training in the afternoon, the coaching staff held a tactical meeting, and they discussed the change for a long time.

Changing the formation is not changing the formation. The 451 style of play is limited to the current personnel and time issues. It is unrealistic to want to change. It is just fine-tuning on the existing basis.

The problem in the frontcourt now is that after Rooney didn't score, they lacked an obvious second offensive point. The double virtues are all of the type of post-insertion, not conventional weapons.

But to push Mark to the front, there will be problems with the team's organization, and Mark needs a tactical striker to cooperate. It is obviously impossible for Rooney to do this job, which is unrealistic and too wasteful.

So they discussed for a long time, and proposed the idea of ​​going to Crouch and letting Rooney retreat. This was supported by Beckham, because in Manchester United, Rooney was not the one at the top, he himself was also a Mobility forward.

This solves the fulcrum problem of Mark Qin when he gets in, and also liberates Rooney. Rooney himself is also a very comprehensive forward.

"But if there is an extra striker, should we remove a midfielder or a defender?" Another coach asked.

Capello clenched his chin and thought for a while, and then made a final decision, "Winger midfielder, this is the weakest point in our lineup. Phillips, Lennon, and Milner are all average, so we simply don't want it."

"Rooney, Mark and Gerrard can solve the problem on the wing and let the three of them maneuver. Lampard's running ability has declined now. Let him be mainly responsible for the midfield transition and the center of the penalty area. Go up and grab the spot, Barry hits the single midfielder", Capello's thinking suddenly became clear.

"In this case, Rooney plays the attacking midfielder to the left, and Gerrard plays the right midfielder to the right. The two full-backs increase their assists and let Rooney and Gerrard help defend their respective wings."

"What about Mark?" someone asked.

"The free man, he played a false nine in Liverpool, which is actually equivalent to the free man in the frontcourt. Their approach is to use Gerrard's retreat as a pivot in the backcourt, but our staffing is not good, which will lead to Barry and Lampa. Germany loses its role, and there will be huge vacancies on the wing.”

"So my idea is, let the other nine people form a 4221 formation in their respective areas. Mark plays the free man in the midfield, organizes the midfielder, makes the last pass in the frontcourt, inserts into the penalty area and scores the goal. The specific timing is his own. Freedom to choose on the field, I believe he has this ability."

This is equivalent to the whole team building a support channel for Mark Qin, back and forth, when to go to where, what to do, he can judge by himself, and there are many tasks for him, which is also Capello's helpless choice.

Last season, he watched Mark Qin so many games live, and he knew that if Mark Qin was to be pushed to the front line to play a false nine, the backcourt must have the ability to advance on the ground. Liverpool is composed of Gerrard, Lucas and a defensive player The striker and the inside winger come together to complete the work and bridge Mark Qin in the frontcourt.

But England does not have such conditions. Once there is no teammate to respond at any time, Mark Qin's ability to fight alone will be greatly reduced due to speed and physical limitations, and he is prone to injury. This is why Capello will not take the risk of such an arrangement.

For Capello, who is 1:0, the most important thing is to have a solid defense and organize the midfield and backcourt. He doesn't need Mark to score so many goals, just enough.

But now scoring a goal has become a problem. Unwilling to give up Mark Qin's ability to organize the backcourt, he had to let him take on more responsibilities.

"Let's do it, the training session will start tomorrow morning," Capello decided, "As long as Mark and Rooney are liberated and let them fully enter the state, it will be the best England."

During the World Cup, England was finally forced to complete their third tactical change due to various reasons. The first time was Capello's entry, which established Mark Qin as the core of the midfield organization. The second time was his Weakened Lampard's position and gave Mark Qin the convenience to attack the goal.

And this third time, it also completely confirmed Mark Qin's soul status in the entire English tactical system, the M core in the MR combination, which has become England's classic style of play in the future.

The media named it: Mark Channel!

Because of this tactical system, England seems to have set up several up and down passages for Mark Qin to gallop up and down, and it has completely released his potential in the national team.

Many players are like this. The club and the national team are two completely different worlds. Can you say that the skills of Argentine players are worse than those of Barcelona? , but why is Messi not as good as Barcelona in Argentina?

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of style of play. Messi is really a god, and he is absolutely inseparable from Guardiola's pass and control system. Messi was also very strong during Rijkaard's period, but he is completely inferior to Messi under the pass and control system. One is human and the other is demigod.

Starting against Algeria:

Goalkeeper: James

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Upson, Carragher, Glenn Johnson

DM: Lampard, Barry, Gerrard

Midfield Libero: Mark Qin

Attacking midfield: Rooney

Tactical Center: Crouch

When the England team got the internal starting list at the regular meeting of the team that night, they broke their glasses, and there were still two days before the game.

As for why Terry did not start, it is very clear that he has been banned from the team for one game, and Terry also made a public apology in the locker room.

The goalkeeper simply chooses the one who has not made a mistake, one by one.

It seems that Capello really listened to Gerrard's words. Not only that, when Capello announced that the players can go out for the night, the crowd was boiling.

"Quiet, listen to me," Capello pressed his hands, "I know you need to relax, but don't overdo it. If I see fewer people at the training ground before 9 o'clock tomorrow, he can pack up and go home. We will fly to Cape Town the morning after tomorrow, and we only have one day to adapt to the new style of play..."

After the meeting, the teammates excitedly went out to find their families. Mark Qin was left alone by Capello and asked him directly: "Mark, how is it? Does the new formation feel too stressful?"

"I like the feeling of freedom...", he smiled, full of confidence!
