The Young Lion

Fans who like Beckham must be impressed by Beckham’s unbeatable free kick in 2001.

It was in the final round of the World Preliminaries. England scored Greece at the last minute of the home game, thus pressured Germany to advance to the World Cup finals with the same points.

At that time, the head coach of Greece was named Rehagel, and it was the famous coach who created the Kaiserslautern mythology and led Greece to write mythology in Portugal in 2004.

Beckham's free kick kicked the ball even though it was stunning. The question behind it is: why can you easily defeat Greece's England on the road, but instead return to the home. In the situation of a tie or absolute qualifying, you will be forced to the end. At the edge of the cliff where Xiao Beili turned the tide?

Aldrich looks back on Greece in this period with the eyes of people coming over. The answer is simple: Rehagel.

Now, Rehagel is not the coach of the Greek national team, but it is not far from the day when he took office. The Greek national team has skyrocketed under his hands and started a legendary journey, while England defeated Greece and returned to the home court. Unexpectedly, I will encounter a Greece that has been renewed in both technical and tactical and military spirit. Originally, I thought that I could easily win the opponent, and the result was almost forced into desperation.

Now Aldridge will not compare himself with other famous coaches. As the leader of a dynasty team, he should have the confidence to never question his own confidence and the ambition to overcome all detached people.

Eriksson led England to all 3 points in Greece, and Aldridge never doubted whether he could do it.

But victory is not only about confidence and fighting spirit, but down-to-earth work is the guarantee of victory.

Standing on the side of the court and directing the team, Aldridge carefully observed the targeted deployment of Greece's technology and tactics today.

Greece played very well at home. Offensive and defensive looks balanced, but it is stable to seek danger.

England has been concentrated on the defense of Lampard and Ashley Cole from the beginning of the opening. Greece’s frontcourt offensive force actively attacked this side. It seems that it has had a profound study of England’s past three games.

England's three-half position makes it very difficult to advance the attack from the middle, because there is also a Scholes who withdraws halftime when defending.

Take the sidewalk and choose one of the two.

One side is Begane Neville, and the other side is Lampardja Ashley Cole.

Greece believes that Beckham's side, no matter from the tacit understanding and strength experience, is much stronger than the Lampard side. Therefore, their offense wants to open the side gap from the right.

Lampard and Ashley Cole rented out Charlton in January, and now it has become an unshakable main force at Valley Stadium, helping Charlton not only stabilize the ranking of the middle reaches, but also step by step. Climbing up, the two have significantly improved in the stable English overtime.

But today was targeted and targeted by Greece, and the defense areas they were in charge of frequently.

Ashley Cole was so annoyed that his opponent bullied him young and attacked this side. He didn’t have the long pass guarantee as Lampard did. The full-backs backcourt crosses must be cautious, resulting in several attempts. Even if a successful steal is forced to the sideline, they can only save the ball and return the ball to the opponent.

He knew that this was not what Aldridge wanted to see.

Defensive success, this is only the basic requirement of the defender, then, a stable shot is the first criterion in the offense, plus England to play fast, his big foot clearance, is a disruption to the team's offensive system.

Southgate saw Ashley Cole's embarrassment, so he took the initiative to retreat in a defense to ensure that he had enough room to receive the ball and adjust it. Ashley Cole cut off the opponent's wing. After cutting the ball inside, he beckoned and Ashley Cole saw Southgate's position safe and passed the ball to the captain who was almost close to the bottom line.

Southgate stopped the ball and passed cleanly to the right to hand the ball to Neville. England organized an attack forward.

Aldridge frowned on the sidelines and his opponent pressed the right, causing another problem: Lampard and Ashley Cole seemed to be afraid of the other side's heavy attack on this side, and they dared not rush into the counterattack.

The England team has only three frontcourt offenses in a short period of time, and only Beckham or Neville support forward in the backcourt. There are fewer contact points. The offense players are more likely to be marked and the field width is not fully utilized.

Aldridge bowed his head and thought, sighing softly.

I originally thought that these players could fully understand the essence of his tactics. It seems that in actual combat, they still lack the flexibility to adapt. This has always been the persistent problem of the England national team. The players themselves lack creativity and the team's technical and tactical system. Lack of flexibility.

In the fierce game on the field, Aldridge came to the coach seat, holding the ceiling with one hand, and said to Jenson: "Bart's position is too dead, draw a simple tactical picture to me, and pass it to the court to make him understand What should I do, if he can't adapt to this tactic flexibly, I should help Hargreaves as soon as possible, anyway, Hargreaves has started to take a lot of opportunities at Bayern this season."

As an assistant coach, Jenson has followed Aldridge for many years. Aldrich's tactical settings are basically known, and by observing the game, he can also find problems.

Since Aldridge spoke out, he immediately worked hard and looked up and asked, "Is it just based on the current situation?"

"No, let him understand the highest requirements directly."

After Aldridge finished speaking, he looked back at the stadium, with his other hands on his hips.

Bart, as a midfield defense midfielder, has helpers on both sides, but this does not mean that Lampard + Beckham is purely helping him defend, but instead compresses his space and investigates it. This is what he is The key point of releasing Lampard and Beckham is that without him as the foundation, perhaps the hidden offensive point from back to front lacks support and there is no way to talk about it.

Jenson drew up the tactical picture, gave Aldridge a glance, Aldridge looked at and nodded, and then said to Jenson: "Avoid me from being shot by the camera and causing trouble, just find a player to drink water and take this The piece of paper was handed over and named to Bart."

Jenson nodded, ripped the paper from the notepad, folded it several times, and turned it to be the size of a fingernail. He got up and walked in front of Joe Cole, and said to him: "Go to the sidelines to warm up, take With this, find an opportunity to give Gary and let him pass to Nikki."

Joe Cole's expression turned into an unexpected realization.

Let's just say, the game has only been played for 20 minutes. England and Greece are equally divided, and no players are injured. How can I let me warm up.

It turned out that it was me who sent the letter!

This year, when the courier must cover.

Joe Cole thought it was funny. He put on the training shirt and carried the folded paper from Jensen. He ran slowly to the side of the court, which was quite noticeable at first.

"Eh? Only half way through the first half, England has players warming up on the sidelines! England has been slow to score goals, and in this life-and-death battle, Hall seems unable to sit still!"

Joe Cole warmed up for three minutes, he was very depressed, Neville was very active on the field, either contracting the central defense or bravely assisting, until after 3 minutes, Greece suddenly shifted the attack and tried to beat England with a surprise, but unfortunately Weir didn't let them succeed, freezing the opponent on the wing and making the opponent take the ball out of bounds.

Joe Cole enthusiastically went to pick up the ball, Neville came out of the court and reached for Joe Cole to ask for the ball, but Joe Cole did not have the first time to throw the ball to him, Neville was furious and scolded: "Quick Give me the ball and waste our chance of fast break, you are making trouble!"

Joe Cole said: Brother, really give you the ball, you run after the ball is served, that is trouble!

He ran to Neville holding the ball and gave it to the opponent before shouting: "This is what the boss asked me to hand over to you. You return to the field and give it to Niki. This is the command of the boss, I didn't make trouble! "

Neville took the ball from Joe Cole, glanced at the folded paper in his hand, then turned his head to look over the coach seat, but saw Aldridge nodded slightly at him. Neville understood that, without saying anything, he served the sideline first.

The fast break was unsuccessful, but it also allowed the Greeks to withdraw the defense line. Neville quickly ran to Bart, gave the note to the other side, and then ran back to his place, running and shouting: " The coach asked me to give it to you."

Bart looked up first and looked at the situation in the frontcourt. Scholes passed the ball to McManaman. The latter broke the bottom beautifully on the left side, but Owen took a point in the middle, so McManaman put it first. Slow speed, waiting for players on the court to respond.

Bart took advantage of this opportunity to open the note, only slap big, with a simple array of placeholders drawn on it, and a solid line to indicate offense and defense. At the English tactical meeting, everyone understood that this is the usual practice of Aldridge.

The position of the formation is no problem, 4321, but Bart’s midfield defensive midfielder position area is very large. A rectangle almost covers the entire line from the back line to the midline. More strangely, Beckham, Lampard, and inner Weir, Cole, and the position arrows of the four people are all solid shoulders forward, representing offense.

crazy?

Two full-backs, all assists from the side and back?

wrong!

Bart has a closer look. The arrow in his position has three directions. The left and right sides are all dashed lines, representing defense.

Combined with the situation on the field and the marked area on the note, Bart finally understood what the note was reminding him.

At first, he misunderstood Aldrich's request.

Big mistake.

He thought he was defending from the midfield and the protection of the key area was vertical, that is, the withdrawal of the restricted area, and once the defense area of ​​Lampard and Beckham was tight, he should assist.

assist?

No, this note has completely made him understand that he should not be the role of facilitator, and the defense there is his own!

England's 4321 is just a illusion of confusing the opponent. In the attack, it can be said to be 41212 or 4231.

The key point is that Bart's position is a single midfielder!

Lampard and Beckham, during the offense, one will rush forward to the midfield area, and the other will move forward slightly into the midfield, so as to maintain the level of attack and provide a point of contact.

But Bart, guarding the entire lower back area, he provided protection for the other two false side backs!

Don’t really look at Lampard and Beckham as a midfielder!

Bart had made such a mistake before, causing Lampard's side to dare to step forward because of the defense zone when he was forced.

This is also justifiable. Spain and Brazil are strong teams. The attack points of the strong teams are evenly distributed. The offense is opened, but Albania is a fish belly, which can not create much pressure. It is only a second-class European team such as Greece. In the offense, it is impossible to be too scattered like a strong team, otherwise the players will not be able to connect, and they can only concentrate on the local forces.

Bart had previously thought that there was no problem with the defense, so he didn't think much about it. Now he thinks that he has done a good job in his defensive work. That is only one aspect of restricting his opponent's offense. He is completely unqualified in providing the team with an offensive guarantee.
