The Young Lion

Sitting in the coach seat and continuing to watch the game, Aldridge thought about his thoughts, and the focus of attention was Gerrard.

For Gerrard, the evaluation of players like Lampard, "Almighty" is the one that hears the most cocoons.

Speaking of any position can play, but think about it, can play the midfielder, midfielder, midfielder, Gerald left and right midfielder, put him in a position other than the midfielder, which position is for Man is absolutely at ease, and in that position can he be called world-class?

For reasons of player understanding, training, and usage, Aldridge will naturally trust Lampard in the starting lineup and will be listed as his first choice, instead of playing for Liverpool from his debut in the defender and midfield. Gerald.

This is the helplessness of the national team coach. If he invited Gerrard to get his wish, he could carefully cultivate Gerald and avoid Gerrard taking fewer detours. Now, Odrić cannot call the club and give the club orders.

Like Carragher, Aldridge is completely speechless and can't count on Carragher to play a role in the England team.

Last season, Carragher played the right back. This season, Carragher began to go to the left back to play for the Reds. It is really a brick. Where do I need to move?

Carragher's evaluation of the future is naturally all-round, and he can play in various positions in the back and back.

The fact?

He has been completely beaten by top players at the full-back, and can play and can play well. These are two very different concepts.

From the perspective of technical ability, Gerrard is very comprehensive. The key is how to use him to inspire him and let him contribute to the England national team.

The main force, there is no place on the field, but Aldridge needs to have a backhand on the bench, there are players who can play the strange soldiers or bring unique effects to the team.

How to use Gerrard is a question that Aldridge must think deeply about.

Under normal circumstances, he is a substitute for Lampard, but just listed him as a substitute for midfielder, it would be overkill or a waste of resources.

Aldridge irresistibly thinks of another old friend: Benitez.

Benitez used Gerrard very well for one season.

That season, after Liverpool's midfield, Mascherano defended, Alonso organized the dispatch, and the baby Torres was on the front line. The person who served as the shadow forward behind Torres was Gerrard, and Torres said at the time. Liverpool Gemini, that season, Gerrard played the highest optical data in the Premier League. The league scored 16 goals and the average scoring rate was more than 0.5. That year, Liverpool ranked second in the Premier League and they were the closest to the Premier League champion. Once, only 4 points away from Manchester United. If Torres missed more than 1/3 of the league due to injury, Liverpool might be able to touch the Premier League trophy for the first time. You know, at that time, Torres had only 24 games in the league starting and bench. Scored 14 goals, the importance is self-evident.

To say that Gerald is going to be purely defensive, Aldridge is not at ease, let him do the delicate organization work, Aldridge believes, but in the end found that he can only exert his impact.

Gerald's characteristics of rushing up are very clear. The stride of the planet wind is wide open and the shooting skills are not outrageous. The threat of the post-insertion can go deep into the penalty zone. The key is to release him and not let him have defensive worries.

His adjustment just now allows Gerrard to get rid of the shackles of B2B and move the whole area of ​​activity forward from the center line to the opponent's goal to see what he has done.

Gerald is very hard. No one can doubt his fighting spirit. The football player's fighting spirit is reflected in running. Players who do not run have no fighting spirit and players who keep running constantly have strong fighting spirit.

Joe Korra performed better on the wing and was more active and active in the offense.

A pass from the left side of the road hung into the opponent's penalty area. Husky scrambled to reach the landing point, but could not attack the goal, but he saw a teammate plug in the other side, so he headered the ball and gave it to the man.

Gerald!

He accidentally inserted the Albanian defender unexpectedly, facing the falling ball, Gerrard made a volley, and the ball was higher than the beam. To be precise, he hit the plane with exaggeration.

After playing the ball, Gerrard felt shame and shame!

He lowered his head and ran back, secretly telling himself to get the same chance next time, to be calmer, to grasp the timing of swinging the leg accurately, just before the leg swing, he did not eat the positive part, and the bottom of the foot touched the ball. , Almost equal to a big foot to clear the ball.

England's tough battle continues, they have the advantage of the field, but they can't score.

This is probably not expected before the game. Most people think that England can easily cut vegetables and cut vegetables.

But after Aldridge readjusted his formation, England needed a period of adaptation.

From 4321 to 442.

Unlike the traditional 442, the current 442 play is very aggressive. It seems that the forward has only one Husky. In fact, when the full-back assist came up, McManaman and Joe Corneche became 3 The forward, with Gerald ambushing behind him, and after Gerrard, Lampard exerts pressure on the periphery. To break this intensive defense, the offense needs to be fully rolled out, occupying all areas of the frontcourt, and forming a comprehensive oppression!

After England adapted to its adjustment, the offensive threat rose intuitively.

In the 41st minute of the first half, McManaman made a cross from the right and Gerrard's header from the back was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, creating chaos in the penalty area. The defender cleared the ball and kicked the ball. Rolled directly to the foot of Joe Cole who cut in the left.

Just after stopping the ball in the penalty area and preparing to shoot, Joe Cole looked up and was startled.

1, 2, 3, 4!

There are four Albanian defensive players rushing towards him, shooting?

Where is the shooting angle!

He calmly turned the ball around and knocked the ball back to Lampard who was unmarked before the penalty zone. Lampard followed with a low-ball volley.

Joe Cole attracted all the defensive players to the left. The goal was opened wide on the right side. Lampard looked at it from here. Unmanned defense was very sure. The ball went straight to the bottom of the net.

"England, finally scored! It was the youngster Lampard who contributed to the team. His long shot in the penalty area helped England take the lead."

Lampard's goal kicked off the goal of England's goal, breaking the intensive defense, the hardest is always the first ball!

When the shrinking defender loses the ball and the score falls behind, the team’s thinking will diverge. Some players may still defend, but some players want to attack and save the defeat, which will lead to a split in the team’s tactics. , To put it bluntly, is that there is no rhythm between teammates.

Even if the excellent coach plays the ultimate anti-reverse, he must be prepared to play back. In case of backwardness, how to adjust it may be instilled in the team before the game, so that the players are psychologically prepared and try to reduce their spirits when they lose the ball. Strike and make adjustments quickly.

Albania is a fish-bellied team. No matter how it is adjusted, it cannot compete with a team at the English level.

Aldrichian sat and watched the game safely, opening the situation in a tough battle, as expected, as long as it was not without a tactical destination, the team's thinking was unified, and the other party's bus was useless.

In the 56th minute, there was another scuffle in front of the Albanian goal. Lampard made a long-range goalkeeper to save the goalkeeper. McManaman followed the supplementary shot and was blocked by the defender. Finally, Gerald made a second foot shot in the penalty area. Put the ball into the goal.

"Liverpool teenager Gerrard ushered in the first goal of the national team, congratulations to him, help England lock the victory!"

Although Gerrard scored a goal, his tactical effect is still not obvious.

Aldrich thinks it may still be related to his still increasing the ball and accumulating experience. It is impossible to let him rush up at once, he can become a stable attack point, but he can take advantage of the chance of scoring in the melee, at least it reflects Jera De was not a headless fly after attacking.

I don't know why, Aldridge feels like he can't use a high center, or it may be a player's own ability problem.

Husky won not many opportunities, but two golden opportunities were wasted.

Aldrich doesn't like point-to-point fixed-point offensive routines because it is too easy to be restricted, especially when facing top defense.

In addition to being able to play the role of a fulcrum to make the ball, Husky scored a goal, which made people anxious.

By the 70th minute of the game, Aldridge had replaced Husky, allowing Alan Smith to play, Bart also coming off, and Hargreaves playing.

After the game, there was not much defensive pressure in the backcourt, basically grabbing points and interception, there were no major mistakes, Bart did not stand the test on the court, and it didn’t make much sense to keep it. Aldridge let Hargreaves play and feel A bit of the atmosphere, don't expect the game itself to temper him, psychological adjustment and feeling are the most important.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Aldridge stood on the sidelines with hands in his pockets and looked tepid.

Players who play on the court have average performance.

Smith, Hargreaves, the former is difficult to do in the dense area, the latter is quite satisfactory, the number of touches is a slap.

Some young players don't know how to be flexible on the court, Joe Cole is, there are technical skills, but the experience is obviously insufficient.

Husky was off the court. He didn't even have a high point in the penalty area. He was still on the wing.

Aldridge didn’t remind the players that there wasn’t much time left in the game. Sometimes, players need a tipping point to raise the ball.

When the game was over, the score was not rewritten.

"2:0, England beat Albania away. After finishing the fifth round of the World Preliminaries, England have 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 5 points, 10 points, and 10 goal difference goals! They are tied and now they are overtaken by England with 9 points! England is only 3 points behind Germany. It is very hopeful that they will directly advance to the World Cup finals with the top of the group. There are still three rounds left in this group’s qualifiers. It will be held in June, but England’s bye will be held in September. The next round will be Finland! As long as England defeats Finland, it will almost be able to lock in the play-off places. The pinnacle of Germany! Good luck in England!"

At the end of the game, Aldridge walked into the field to shake hands with the players and praised them. There are many young players today, and a victory should give them more encouragement and praise.

On leaving, Aldridge's eyes became sharp.

Killed Greece and brushed 8 goal difference goals against Albania, plus Greece's 4:1, England's goal difference changed from -1 before he took over to +10.

Does the goal difference not matter?

Of course it matters.

With three rounds remaining, England and Germany will directly talk to each other. If both sides win, then England will meet Germany in the penultimate round. Even if they win, the two teams will have the same points. When the points are the same, compare the goal difference first!

He will not say this to the players, but he must have a book in his mind.

The next competitor to be eliminated is Finland!

This preliminaries is simply climbing the ladder!
