The Young Lion

England's goal is like a cold lake of cold water falling from the sky, destroying the enthusiasm of all Greeks in the Athens stadium!

In this country of democratic origin, the Greeks who care about the football of the national team smell the breath of death.

The atmosphere of the entire stadium became depressing, and even the English fans who came to support the Three Lions away from afar could not reverse it. They jumped and cheered in the stands to celebrate the team's goal.

Yes, 8 games in the World Preliminaries, this is only the fourth game, but if Greece loses again in this game, they only have 1 point, they want to win the next four games and finally score 13 points to fight a playoff. Chance is not impossible in probability, but will Finland, Germany, England give them such an opportunity?

This is the first decisive battle for Greece to enter the World Cup. It won, and there is a future to look forward to, lose, bye.

After Audric celebrated the goal, he gave the players a gesture to signal that they should not relax. Next, Greece will definitely face a fight.

Unlike sending a small note to Bart to remind him, Aldrich could not just say a roar on the sidelines or use body language to achieve the purpose of reminding Bart, but the gesture that the whole team can understand, he can make it with confidence, without Worried that the players cannot understand.

Around four thousand English fans in the stands smiled and talked about the goal just now.

"Mccar's breakthrough is really beautiful, the opponent's defender seems to be in a spell and is set there."

"Alas, if he doesn't leave Liverpool and now works with Irving's partner, Liverpool might be able to compete for the Premier League title."

"Liverpool? Don't think about it. Looking at the lineup configuration of Manchester United and Millwall, Liverpool are at least one grade apart."

"Hey, Liverpool? Is it just the gap in player strength? Think about it, Millwall has Hall, this is the biggest gap! See, Hall has only been in office for half a year, how good England has been, and the defense is not only unhurried, The offense was also decisive. McCain was only rejuvenated under Hall, and Hoddle and Keegan could not use him well."

"Unfortunately, it would be nice if Hall took over the national team a year ago, and we will not be shamefully out of the group in the European Cup.

"Don't complain, it has nothing to do with Hall, but he is the owner of Millwall, saying that he will take over when he takes over the national team? I am afraid the FA did not agree to it a year ago."

"Huh, there are a group of borers in the FA..."

In a tie, both sides have psychological concerns. After all, failure is unbearably heavy, but now the side that has been scored has no escape route. Greece, if it does not fight dead, can only wait for death. The dream of advancing to the World Cup is the same. In the past few World Cups, it can only be used as an audience!

At the beginning of Aldridge's uneasy heart, he finally calmed down.

Not only because the score is leading, the score is only 1:0, which is still 2 away from the win. In the football circle, it is not uncommon for a match to be equalized by two goals. It is not uncommon for a match to be equalized or reversed to lead by three goals Therefore, it is often the gap of three goals instead of two goals. Of course, this is also related to the time period. If there are 10 minutes left in the game, the difference between the two goals can also lock the victory.

The biggest reason for Aldridge’s victory is: the situation!

Greece had to attack, if not attacked, it would die!

But for England's current set of technical and tactical play, it is in the middle of the arms, the opponents dare to attack, only to expose more life!

Confident Aldridge stands on the sidelines, from time to time to give the backcourt players a shot or point forward direction, he looks at the overall situation, naturally insight into the situation faster than the players on the field, know where is free, and where is the most suitable for front insertion manufacturing Threatening, but he must not be able to command every player, the point is that the side close to him in front of him, Beckham and Neville.

This scene was captured by live footage, and the English commentators laughed.

Manchester United and Millwall are inseparable in the Premier League. Now, Millwall's coach is directing Manchester United players to attack the city.

Is this a ridiculous scene, or will it be circulated as a piece of talk in the future?

For the glory of England, do Manchester United and Millwall combine?

The game is still long. Greece wants to counterattack but it will not be too fierce, and it is still not impatient.

The first half of the match ended with a burst of exclamation in the Athens Stadium.

Lampard shot a long shot from the outside of the penalty area and flew out the bottom line. He was too late to regret, the referee blew his whistle.

The two teams walked back to the locker room and England led by one goal.

Aldridge entered the locker room with a calm look, just as he said before his expedition: Win Greece, but you play normally.

What's more, the final result of the game has not yet come out, he cannot be happy, and the players should not be happy for the lead.

He emphasized tactics again in the locker room without making adjustments, but let Bart and Beckham and Lampard understand the essence of the three-back system and clarify their responsibilities. They must be on the offense and Bart’s coverage should also be expanded. When the team is attacking, provide protection and solve the worries of teammates.

The national team is now thriving, the internal atmosphere is harmonious, the team is united, and they want to prove themselves with their record.

No one wants to wear the national team's jersey and then the dogs in the country are sprayed with blood.

Perhaps not all players have very noble consciousness, but the sense of mission, responsibility, and wearing this jersey will be more or less there.

When Aldridge spoke, everyone listened attentively, and many people nodded frequently to express their understanding.

In the end, Aldridge said coldly and said: "I told you half a year ago, our current style of play is not afraid of the opponent's attack. It can be said that because of the opponent's attack, we have more opportunities. Remember, The advancement of positional battle control is not our strength. When the opponent sets a strict defense line, we do not have many means to break the goal. What we want to catch is the adjustment flaws in the opponent's attack and defense conversion! , We will definitely win!"

"Of course, we will definitely win!"

Southgate stood up and threw a voice.

"Guys, come on in the second half and score a few more goals!"

Beckham also stood up and encouraged the team's morale.

In three and a half games, Aldridge has begun to instill confidence in them. The basis for the team to reach an ideological consensus is that they are convinced: We are on the right path!

The football arena has changed a lot, and there are countless ways to win, but they all lead to the same goal. As long as they can win, it is correct.

Back in the second half, Aldridge still looked serious.

This game is very important, or because of the disadvantage brought by the two games of England World Preliminaries, the qualifiers led by Aldridge to play every match are extremely critical.

England not only needs to qualify, but also strives to win the first place and advance directly to the finals. It is not that the play-offs are not possible, but that the play-offs are too dangerous. No matter which second place in the other group, it will be two unpredictable battles. Too big, whether to advance or not, can even affect a country’s short-term economic trends. Especially for England, the historical economic losses caused by the absence of the 2008 European Cup are conservatively estimated to exceed 2 billion pounds. This is not a country. Team sponsors, direct economic losses such as FA contract losses, and the key to this is the normal mentality of British nationals "feeling good about themselves", which directly affects labor productivity.

Therefore, Aldrich not only took over a national team with a weak military record, but the challenge before him was to climb up step by step and step on the opponents of the same group one by one!

Greece is the first one. Today this is a life-and-death battle between the two teams. England must kick a competitor first. It sounds exaggerated. Now Greece is also worthy of being an English competitor? That's right, the situation in the standings is the same. England is third and Greece is fourth. The two teams are only 3 points apart.

"As soon as the second half came up, Greece launched a fast break, and their players' enthusiasm was significantly improved. It seems that Greece has come to a desperate time! The English defense is very level, Southgate stepped forward to intercept and was beaten, Ash Lee Cole succeeded in making up the ball and scored a good goal! Greece returned without success."

The Greek players seem to have become fierce beasts. Not only did they run on the field at the same time, but they also used both hands and feet in defense. From the backcourt of England, they used tactical fouls to restrict them from launching fast breaks.

Aldrich watched a wave of suppression in Greece unmoved. This scene is very familiar. Not long ago, in the Champions League, AC Milan also did this after falling behind a goal at the Lion King Stadium. In general, Millwall eventually became an animal trainer, resisting the counterattack after success, the opponent is difficult to parry.

This wave of grappling attacks in Greece lasted about 6-7 minutes, and then, in the need for breathing space, England began to burst into majesty.

Greece’s offense can only hover outside England’s penalty area, and then patience will be forced to lose the ball. The penetration ball cannot be accurately sent to the striker’s foot, and England’s attack advances from the midfield and backcourt. Every time, it can play a very intuitive Threat.

McManaman suddenly left Greece undefeated. Scholes made a series of offenses without any lag. Irving's running position on the front line involved seeking opportunities and also made the opponent's back line dare not be a little negligent. These, Greece can only pass the number of defenders To make up for the weakness of one-on-one defensive ability.

England played three consecutive offenses and failed to break the goal. Aldridge gave McManaman a gesture and told the opponent to use the depth to bring the opponent's back line to the bottom line!

McManaman was pleased to take the lead. After dribbling the ball on the wing, he got the bottom of his heart, and the Greek back line could only follow the back to guard the key area.

In this way, Greece counterattacks forward, the offensive line should be pulled back deeper, and the distance of further advancement also becomes longer. The most important thing is that they attack and return to defense, and the distance from one to the other will be virtually lengthened.

After another six minutes, Greece apparently failed to keep up with the speed of defense after an offensive setback. The front line was extended too long, and the midfield exposed a lot of space.

McManaman took the ball to the bottom, took the opponent's back line to the goal, and then stopped the ball near the bottom line to pass back. Ashley Cole, who followed up, passed the ball without stopping. Aside.

Beckham, who was unmarked, inserted a stop ball and adjusted his pace. It looked more like he was penalizing a free kick. No one was blocking the front. The opponent's defender was like a lined up wall, and he left crossed A week of trajectory, the body tilted, gold right foot force shot!

The ball flies into the air without any sense of lightness. With a rapid rotation, it draws a wonderful arc in the air, which has both the pleasingness brought by the arc and the visual impact produced by the speed.

The Greek goalkeeper did not move.

He has the same idea as most people.

This ball will go out of bounds!

It is true that the trajectory of the ball flying halfway is absolutely out of bounds!

However, under the guidance of the rapidly rotating arc, the ball is a trajectory of a banana arc, as if being manipulated, flying from the outer line to the goal.

Ding!

A small portion of the ball rubbed inside the goal post and bounced into the goal.

Dead end.

The goalkeeper was powerless.

When you encounter such a ball, you can only admit that you are unlucky!

The Athens stadium was silent.

Beckham's mouth was raised, and his charming smile was like his just completed goal, dumping sentient beings!
