The Young Lion

After understanding the note sent by the coach, Bart immediately woke up, observed the situation on the field and then performed his duties.

In the 27th minute of the game, Greece once again attacked the side of Lampard. The wing player dribbled the ball on the right after being intercepted by Lampard and Ashley Cole.

Lampard collaborated with Colmar to pass 2 passes to complete the turn forward. At this time, there is a large area in front of him, but the opponent's forward and the wing players are active in the area behind him, concentrated on this side, before he did not assist Going up, he was afraid of going back and forth, this side was penetrated, but at this moment, he saw Bart actively moved some distance to his side.

The stadium is very large, but the distance between the players may be just a few meters, which can create a completely new situation.

Bart's movement freed Lampard from worries and led the ball to the meteor attack.

Bart observes the situation in the backcourt. Although the Greek players retreat backwards to defend, but once launched a counterattack, they must still be on the right. He must strengthen the lateral movement to expand the defense zone. The most important thing is the change in the starting position of the defense. .

Bart's sharp-eyed eyes hate to have to blink, observe the opponent's position, and guard the key defensive position. Now, his position is not the center of the midfielder. He has already deviated to the left. This is the most effective after the possible counterattack against Greece. Adjustments made by threatening offense.

Aldridge saw Bart's movement on the sidelines and nodded slightly.

Bart's own ability is barely first-class. It can only be said to be barely good, but fortunately it is not a piece of decay. Even if he does not have a stable playing opportunity at Manchester United, it is now the best choice for the England national team.

The frontal defense only puts him as a single midfielder. The defense must be uncomfortable. The correct statement is that Aldridge let Beckham and Lampard retreat from the position to compensate for the midfielder and protect the back line, but in the When attacking, Bart can't count on the left and right sides to assist him. He must complete a single midfielder duty, no matter who Lampard and Beckham assists up, once they are counterattacked, especially the opponents fully spread out to use the venue Width of the offense, then one of the two must be back to fill up the back of the full-back assists.

Aldridge observed Bart's running route in a few minutes and nodded secretly: he has limited talent, but he can implement the tactical arrangement of the head coach.

If it weren’t for Bart who can only play Keane’s bench at Manchester United, Aldridge doesn’t really expect Hargreaves to grow up as soon as possible. After all, Bart is only 26 now!

But his golden age was on the bench, and it was hard to expect further progress in the future.

After Bart lived in this position and was able to provide back defense for the offense, England's offensive suddenly came alive and entered the offensive rhythm they drilled in the second half of last year.

Previously, Lampard and Ashley Cole were afraid and failed to step forward and assisted. After turning from attack to defense, Greece focused on Beckham and Neville. As for the three people in the backcourt , Scholes, McManaman, Owen, Greece have at least 5 defenders, really not afraid of them, in addition to a McManaman ball dribbling threat, the others are not afraid!

The offensive and defensive situation on the field is changing bit by bit. As the two sides continue to switch from one attack to another, the advantage of England begins to show.

Aldridge had his hands on his hips and his eyes were sharp.

Greece, can't keep up with the rhythm!

Greece attacked England's right defense again and again, and occasionally suddenly shifted to the left, but none of them could achieve the unexpected effect, because England's left is not empty.

On the contrary, after the offensive in England is active, the players are getting better, and the threat of cooperation is increasing every time.

Ferdinand competed with the opponent's striker to win the header, and calmly gave the ball to Beckham in front. After the header was successful, he also reached Beckham with an unmarked Neville on the right.

This season, Ferdinand has made greater progress under O'Leary's account. He is stronger than when he was at Millwall, because he is an unshakeable main force in Leeds United, and has been tempered by the European Championship, two The group stage of the stage played well. Now he is the main defender of England. Campbell, who is sitting on the bench, does not have the support of the outside world even if he complains.

Now he is commendable on the court, especially in the position of central defender.

Beckham couldn't see the direction of Ferdinand's finger. He didn't need Ferdinand to show him the way. As the focus of being marked, Beckham knocked to Neville without stopping the ball and turned to Neville. The defender immediately moved to Neville. , The latter then passed the ball back to Beckham, 2 over 1, Beckham took the ball forward to attack.

Just after halftime, there was a roadblock ahead, Beckham glanced at the stared Scholes in front of him, and decisively passed the left side in a wide range.

This half-height ball is not fast. Ashley Cole came over and caught the ball and quickly took the ball forward.

England reached the forty yards of the dangerous zone from the side of the opponent's penalty area, and the Greek defense line alarm sounded.

Ashley Cole took the ball to the outside and crossed the middle after encountering the defense. Scholes, who was previously marked, had already voluntarily come over to respond. He kicked the ball face-to-face and the ball rolled Forward, it fell to McManaman's feet.

Today, the most active man in England’s frontcourt is McManaman. He is more energetic than others because he is no longer the first choice in Real Madrid. His physical fitness is no problem and his fighting spirit is strong.

After a half-turn to face the Greek defender, McManaman didn't have much time. If he hesitated, the opponent will inevitably close the restricted area. Scholes moved diagonally to the other side to attract the defensive player.

McManaman is in excellent condition today, and it is difficult to break the football under his feet. This time, he sideways the goal and first dialed the ball inside. The defender in front moved to the middle and the center of gravity moved, McManaman Quickly dunk the ball to the penalty area and start an outbreak to break through!

He wiped from the opponent's central defender and entered the penalty area!

Opportunity to face the goal at an angle of 45 degrees!

McManaman's expression is extremely determined, which is in sharp contrast to his light-handed ball control.

I don’t know when he will start looking forward to the FIFA match day soon.

why?

Is it intolerable to sit on the bench of Real Madrid?

Or is it hoped to be redeemed because of Hodle and Keegan's continuous neglect? Reproduce your heroic appearance in the European Cup five years ago?

do not know.

He only knows that the national team has his place!

The man who hadn't exchanged a word with each other when he first met but seemed to be enemies across the sky, is now his coach named Audrey Hall.

In the 95/96 season, Millwall first entered the Premier League, Liverpool's prestige is still famous, Anfield battle, the mad lion stepped on the Red Army, which was famous in Europe. In the FA Cup final, the mad lion nailed the Red Army to the post of shame, McManner The Liverpool spicy brother headed by Mann and Fowler is notorious!

Over time, McManaman never thought that one day he would play under Aldridge. Even when Aldridge took over the national team, he had the idea of ​​announcing his withdrawal from the national team.

Anyway, that man absolutely doesn't like himself!

absolute!

After all, from being recruited into the new national team to three days after training, McManaman moved from the heart.

What do players need most?

The first is trust.

The second is for his role.

In both cases, Aldridge gave him!

McManaman remembers his shock six months ago.

The man who once criticized the spicy buddies mercilessly said that to him.

"Steve, you are the player with the best ball control and dribbling ability among the members of this national team. You will be an important part of my tactical design. If you play well, we will win the game very easily, you play No, we won very slim, I hope you can play an important role in the national team!"

Aldrich said this to McManaman when he first talked to the national team players one by one, there is no one-word hypocrisy!

On the technical characteristics, the English national team cannot find a player with a better dribbling ability and better ball control ability than McManaman. From a tactical perspective, such a player with excellent dribbling ability can use his personal ability in part. Providing change, a sharp breakthrough may create an excellent goal opportunity, which is far more intuitive than complicated teamwork.

McManaman was deeply touched, and Aldridge’s trust made it difficult for him to suppress his determination to serve results!

Moreover, from the field position and role arrangement, McManaman's own favorite.

Hell, in Real Madrid, he is almost used as an engineer!

No way, in Real Madrid, more and more big-name stars have to control the ball, he can't be ranked, he can't even guarantee the starting position, and more must take on the defensive task!

Perhaps the Premier League now predicts that the names of the best shooters are just a few each summer, Henry, Larson, York, Ibrahimovic... And the assist list seems to have no suspense, Manchester United golden wings and Ronaldinho.

But just a year and a half ago, when McManaman left the Premier League, he was on the assist list with Giggs. Every season, McManaman, Giggs, Beckham are the assist list. There are three leading names, and when he left, the Premier League ranked second in total assists. After ranking Giggs, if the average assist efficiency per game, he ranked first! Only now has Beckham surpassed, but still ranked second!

He is definitely a player who uses his brain to play football. How to talk about it outside the court will not be mentioned for a while, but on the court, the style of playing is based on the overall situation and the type of player who contributes to the team. His club achievements should be limitless.

McManaman, who got a half-single shot, took another step forward, opened the distance to the opponent's defender, and then crossed the middle lightly. Owen grabbed a shot before the opponent's defender and the ball penetrated into the goal from the close corner. Among.

"England scored! McManaman's beautiful breakthrough, this ball was his assist to Owen, Owen's clever shot broke Greece's gate! Liverpool will join Liverpool's shining number one star this season to help England occupy Opportunity!"

After Irving scored a goal, he smiled and ran to celebrate. McManaman stepped back to the side of the court and also smiled.

At this moment, he suddenly looked to the side of the court, and in the distance saw Aldridge waving his arms slightly to celebrate the goal. He raised his right arm and gave a thumbs-up.

Never in the mood to come to the national team to play for free, make him happy, make him satisfied, make him proud, make him do not want to return to the club!

He made a move that Ronaldinho often did in Millwall, often after Ronaldinho assisted or scored, he would show his thumbs to the sidelines as if he was telling Audridge: I am, rest assured!

Aldridge saw McManaman's gesture and smiled, raised his right hand and responded with a thumb.

Nice job, Steve!
