The Young Lion

The football game focuses on one attack and one defense. If the attacking side enters the opponent's threat zone with 5-6 players, the defending side can of course defend with 7, 8, or even 9, 10 players.

This is understandable. The one-to-one number-balanced contest is the main melody on the football field a hundred years ago. Now, it is a team confrontation, not a personal duel.

When the offensive and defensive transition occurs, the weaker side of the paper, if it is unable to organize the ground attack smoothly, the rules must require them to drive the ball out, then, the big foot is released to kick the ball forward and away from the goal dangerous area, this It is also normal.

England's stronger personal ability starts to press the defense from the front line, resulting in Albania can calmly free the ball every time the offense, the player does not rush forward, preparing for the next defense.

No one else can blame them for their lack of offensive desire, which is the old-fashioned passive football!

See?

England players surround our penalty area, we can't defend one by one, of course we have to hoard more players to defend, they press our back line, they dare not pass the ball in the backcourt, they can only make a big foot. It’s not that we don’t want to attack, it’s the situation.

Under such circumstances, the main battlefield of the game between England and Albania is in the opponent's penalty area and outside the restricted area. The number of attacking and defensive sides is narrow in a narrow area. The attacking England's offensive is fierce but not threatening.

After Aldridge issued a command to the team through the deputy Beckham, England's attack on the field ended, the frontcourt player immediately recovered to the midfield, taking the single arrow Owen as an example, he did not press the opponent's center while defending Defender, but back to the opponent's midfield line, leaving space for the opponent's center defender to pass the ball, and the back linemates also withdraw in layers. At least, the Albanian defender line and the midfield line have no static formation at the kick kick So much pressure.

In this way, can Albania continue to make a big foot and the players can stand in the backcourt without stopping?

If this is the case, then they can be accused of playing negative football and putting on buses, "sinful evil"!

Within five minutes, Albania scored two consecutive goal kicks, and England more easily controlled the landing point, then launched the attack forward, the player withdrew and then moved forward, smoothed a lot, and it was easier to hit the penalty area. Kicked the shot.

Because they have room to accelerate from the back to the front, a brief explosive impact can make it difficult for opponents to prevent.

McManaman and Owen's shot flew with one foot, and was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

After the attack, England immediately withdrew its defense.

Albania glanced at this posture and could not figure out what the gang of rich and handsome England were thinking. There was no pressure on the offensive midfield and backcourt. The goalkeeper repeatedly gave the ball back to the opponent, so he began to try to play the ball safely.

Albania passed from the back to the ground, England set an interception barrier in the midfield, Beckham once saw the right time to grab the ball and successfully intercepted the ball, then immediately passed the left side, Lampard started to move forward and received the ball to initiate the offensive .

At this time, the formation of Albania is more scattered. When they attack, the formation will be deployed. The ball will be intercepted during the deployment. Now it has to be recovered immediately. The impact of the player's ability makes their recovery speed as a whole not as fast as the offensive advancement of England. .

Lampard pulled a free McManaman straight in front of him, McManaman, who turned his back to the opponent's penalty area, made a beautiful non-stop cross pass, and accurately found Scholes, who shook off the opponent's midfield defensive player. After Scholes steadily stopped the ball, a good pass from the ball was passed. Owen succeeded in the counter-offside and shot at the penalty spot with his right foot. The ball flew straight to the top left corner of the goal.

Albania was completely destroyed by England's fast break. The goalkeeper wanted to make a save, but in the end it just opened his palms and turned his head to look at the ball flying away.

"Michael Owen! The goal is in! England has finally opened the door to victory. This attack is fast and effective, simple and deadly! We can clearly see that England's fast attack rhythm after the successful steal is very fast, the ball forward is decisive and direct The coordination between players is also very clear, just like they destroyed the Spanish game, such goals are exciting!"

Owen, who hadn't played for more than a week, recovered well. His start timing and speed-up during anti-offside can be seen. After scoring, he rushed to the sidelines to accept the cheers of the fans, and his teammates rushed over to him. Hug.

Aldridge's offhand seemed careless behind him, but when the live camera captured his reaction, he found that he bowed his head and kicked the turf.

Albania counts as a European fish-bellied team, and is still located in Eastern Europe. It is not the mainstream region of the European football circle. When you play away, you are basically given points.

England wants to win this kind of game, in fact there is no difficulty, hard power can definitely be crushed.

Speed, body, technology, etc. all have the possibility of crushing.

But England's defensive strategy at the beginning of the game directly caused the speed advantage to fail to play.

The forward is pressing the opposing defender line, the defender line cannot be too far from the goal, and the midfield line also needs to be retracted to assist defense. This leads to the English attacking front line has no space to play speed, a small area with less technical advantages Not enough to crush, but for a strong attack, Aldridge just put on Husky, then put Ferdinand or Lampard on the front line, relying only on Beckham’s right foot, a strong pass and a sure pass can finally be achieved Victory, this is a way of crushing.

But in that case, the game has no meaning other than the result.

The Albanian players are depressed.

Pressed and madly attacked, he never lost the ball. England withdrew. They were just about to attack and tried. This test really scored. Unfortunately, England scored!

When Albania reopened the ball, Aldridge looked up and his expression puzzled the audience in front of the TV.

He smiled bitterly when the team didn't score.

When the team led, he frowned slightly.

Aldridge was not dissatisfied with the goal, nor was he masochistic that he should be behind to be happy. He just wanted to see what England would do next.

At the beginning of the opening, the unbridled pressure on the opening is understandable and can be tolerated.

However, if the goal reappears after scoring and ignores the coach's tactical requirements, then this team is not saved, and God can't save it!

Training obedient and game obedient are two different things, both of which are important. The former guarantees the team's strength and quality, the latter ensures that the game is executed according to the coach's tactical design.

If Aldridge can’t command this team, he would rather quit his job voluntarily. This can’t be like a club, you can put the players into the cold house, and then look for the right. The best players in England are basically here, they can’t. , Aldridge will not think he can make a difference in the international arena with another batch of obedient melons.

Fortunately, Aldridge's prestige is sufficient, and after his on-the-spot tactical order was issued, England soon converted his advantage into a goal. How dare players not accept it?

Most of the players on the field now feel very magical, and Beckham smiles in his heart: Owen does not have to be Jordan.

The England team continued to retreat while defending, decisively and quickly when attacking.

In this way, the scene does not look like England is overwhelmed by the opponent at the beginning, but the offensive threat is to make the opponent almost breathless!

Before the end of the first half, in the 43rd minute, England again broke the ball in the midfield and backcourt. Bart handed the ball to Lampard. The latter passed the wing diagonally. Ashley Cole from the sideline rushed along the wing. .

On the other side, Beckham also rushed forward quickly, the two dribbling forward, one running forward without the ball, the position is almost parallel, after all, Ashley Cole can't take the ball faster than Beckham's direct sprint.

After experiencing defensive pressure after halftime, Ashley Cole crossed the other side. In Aldrich’s new tactical system, players are used to playing. As long as they keep their heads calm, they can basically know the fixed without watching. Where is the reception point? Of course, in the official game, it is normal to look up and determine the pass success rate.

Beckham can no longer dribble forward after stopping the ball. If he dribbles again, the opponent's defense will have enough time to shrink back to form a dense defensive iron barrel array.

So Beckham passed straight to the front line, Irving, who took the ball from his back, did not turn around, bearing in mind Aldridge's request to him.

Pass the ball!

In training, Aldridge made them understand the flexibility of this requirement.

If it's heading forward, Irving doesn't have to turn around, that is, when the speed is guaranteed, he is faced with one or two defensive players, then, the chasing teenager can use his advantage to impact, failure does not matter, at least there is Hope for success.

But if he is holding the ball on his back, he should not hesitate to pass the ball. No matter whether he turns or adjusts, the chance becomes unsatisfactory.

At this moment, Owen directly handed the ball to McManaman who was rushing forward on the left.

There were people around Scholes, and Scholes was rushing towards the middle of the penalty area.

McManaman scored the ball when he rushed forward, without losing the speed and even drove directly into the penalty area to form a semi-single ball.

Scholes dashed straight into the middle of the goal and Irving passed the ball to the right of the goal.

McManaman pitched the ball on the left side, Scholes shoveled away, but short legs missed this point in the middle, but he attracted the attention of a defender and a midfielder. Interfering with the goalkeeper's judgment, the goalkeeper all made a save, but Scholes did not touch the ball.

There was only one defensive player beside Irving who was behind the goal. He also shoveled down. When the ball was about half a meter away from the goal post, he touched the ball to change the trajectory of the ball. The ball rolled slowly against the inside of the goal post.

"Owen scored twice! Just when fans regretted that Scholes failed to put the ball into the goal, Owen ensured that this beautiful attack was not in vain at the back point! At 2:0, England will expand the lead and fans Don't worry."

The English fans in the Wembley stand cheered for the team's second goal while cheering.

3 points is considered stable.

This is the first 3 points of the World Cup qualifier for England in this group.

Although it is a fish-fighting team today, the negative impact of the national team in the past few months has been too heavy, and the fans are not optimistic, but seeing the changes in England after Aldridge took office, the fans were slightly in heart. Be practical.

On the second goal, Aldridge smiled.

He stood on the sidelines waiting for the end of the first half, and then walked into the player channel. At the end of the half, Wembley applauded and was very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

There is an absolute advantage in the scene. Although the first half looks rough, the second half is very ornamental. Especially the teamwork during the attack is impressive.

It would be great if England played so well against all opponents!
