The Young Lion

The winning team does not adjust.

During the halftime break, Aldridge had nothing to say. The offense opened up the situation. The score led by two goals, and the opponent was not strong. Now, there is no need and no praise for the players.

When playing against Albania, it is only natural to win the game, and it is even more natural to spray you with blood if you lose.

Before the start of the second half, Aldridge walked into the court and sat on the coach's bench, took a sip of water, and calmly waited for the start of the game.

Albania fell behind by two goals, and there was no point in defending. The offensive enthusiasm was slightly increased, but the result was disastrous.

This is also the limitation of weak teams. Once they lose the ball and fall behind, they can only give it a go. The self-comforting nonsense of losing less and winning, putting yourself in the shoes of the players on the field, what would they think? Wacky doesn't attack at all, gets beaten for 90 minutes and then loses the game, saying to the outside world: We lost less, in fact, we won...

Who is England's top player?

Xiaobei.

In the targeted deployment of Albania in the first half, Beckham's marking was very high.

However, for England's two goals, Beckham actually did not appear in the most threatening area of ​​the offense. Instead, Lampard was more threatening on the other side.

Therefore, Albania's restrictions on Beckham dropped in the second half.

In the 52nd minute, there was no space in front of Lampard. Butt handed the ball to Beckham. Beckham played 2-1 with Scholes and then moved forward to the right side of the front field. 45 before being approached by the defensive player Speed ​​pass.

Irving attracts the defense in the middle of the penalty area, but the point is not on his side. On the back point on the left side of the penalty area, Beckham is aiming at this point to pass.

The opponent's defender took the lead, and McManaman outflanked his right foot and blasted the ball into the goal.

Six or seven minutes into the second half, the England team scored another goal, Beckham assisted, and McManaman outflanked the goal from behind the penalty area. 3:0, the victory is sealed!

Aldridge rested his chin in his hand and looked at the scene of England players laughing wildly and running to celebrate, his expression unmoved.

Just like what he said during training, if the England team wants to solve their offensive weakness, they must first have space. As long as they don't fight tough battles in dense areas, they still have the ability to play smooth offensive coordination.

In the past, it was impossible to play, and to some extent it was also related to the rigidity of the offensive point and the lack of flexibility. Just like the European Cup, marking Owen and Shearer to death basically solved 70% of England's offense.

Eight minutes later, McManaman pulled the ball to the left and passed a defensive player of the opponent. After attracting two defensive players from the opponent, he cut the ball back to the left side of the penalty area. Scholes got the ball and returned. Knock in the middle of the restricted area. Irving pushed the ball without stopping, and the ball rolled into the goal again.

Hat-trick! Owen staged a hat-trick, this ball, McManaman, Scholes. The three of Owen made it together, it was wonderful!

In 60 minutes, four goals were scored.

Aldridge stood up and asked Gerrard and Heskey to warm up, and then he walked to the sidelines, hoping to use this gesture to remind the players not to relax.

He was going to stop. But it does not mean that players can be allowed to relax.

Just as the warm-up of the substitute players was about to end, the England team scored again!

For a pure shooter like Irving, the ability to run offensively and get rid of defense is the foundation. After all, he is not a striker who relies on physical confrontation for food. Flexible running and excellent shooting skills are the capital for him to become a top-notch striker.

When England attack from midfield. There is a sense of hierarchy when advancing, and when you can rely on your personal ability to tear apart a line of defense to create local advantages, Owen's running ability has room to display.

In the 64th minute, Owen crossed diagonally to the left from the right side of the penalty area to respond to Ashley Cole's short pass on the ground. He smashed the ball and turned around to wipe out a frizzy defender who was rushing up the other side, and then volleyed from a small angle to send the ball into the goal again.

Unbelievable! Unbelievable Irving! Big four! There are more than 25 minutes in the game, how many goals can Irving score? How many more? Can't stop!

Irving couldn't believe it himself, and ran to the sidelines to rub his hands in celebration at Ashley Cole who was rushing towards him.

The fans at the scene were jubilant up and down, and some Liverpool fans were going crazy with joy.

And Aldridge just smiled and clapped, and then changed.

Hall replaced Irving, the biggest hero of the game, with Husky. There was thunderous applause at Wembley. We saw a large number of fans in the stands standing up and applauding Owen. This is a day he will remember all his life. A game for the national team Scoring four goals, that's a fantastic achievement. Also off the field is David Beckham, who played well on both ends of the floor today, with a couple of key interceptions, offensive passes, and assists, replace him The youngster Gerrard.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines to meet the two heroes, and stretched out his right palm. When Owen passed by, he slapped Aldrich hard, but he had to endure it, and his expression could not change a little.

I thought that Xiao Bei would be more gentle, but in the end, Xiao Bei also slapped her hard.

Aldridge endured the pain without changing his face, and naturally put his hands behind his back, gently rubbing the palm of his right with his left hand.

He thought that no one would notice, but who knew that the fucking live broadcaster had set up more than n cameras at Wembley, England's territory, and the coach was a big name, naturally there were cameras filming all the time around the coach's area.

When the live broadcaster discovered Aldrich's small movements from the side and rear live footage, he immediately edited them and inserted them in the live broadcast.

The picture is also very coherent and narrative.

Irving and Beckham struck out two palms one after another, and Aldrich secretly rubbed his palms behind him... The fans at the scene didn't know, but many fans watching the live broadcast of the game burst out laughing, especially at the end of this scene, It also gave a close-up of Aldridge's face with a calm expression.

Aldrich stood there for two minutes, his palms no longer hurting, he turned around and walked back to the coach's bench to sit down, and found the weird smiles on Jansen and Klinsmann's faces, so he asked, What are you talking about?

Klinsmann leaned over and said in a low voice, We're talking about the Millwall-Owen affair that may reappear tomorrow.

Aldrich thought about it, and it was not impossible.

Under him, Owen staged a big four in the first national team game, and Fleet Street must take the opportunity to hype.

Aldridge turned his head and went back to watch the game without thinking about that kind of thing. Anyway, Millwall doesn't need a pure shooter like Irving.

Besides, Owen can score 4 today, which is abusive food. When it comes to playing against top teams, not to mention that he can score 4 goals, but can maintain an average of 0.4 goals per game, Aldridge will be satisfied.

Albania was conceded 5 goals. At this moment, there is no morale left, the defeat is set, and the momentum of attacking is gone, England also quits as soon as it is good, playing not so aggressively, but more patiently.

The routine remains the same, and the offense still relies on flexible insertion points to provide changes.

When the final whistle sounded, the number on the score board was 6:0.

At the last moment, Lampard scored a long-range goal, the first goal for the national team.

The double virtues are separated. This game was abusive again, and Aldridge couldn't see the pros and cons of Lampard and Gerrard playing together, good, invisible, and bad. It can't be revealed, and there are not many opportunities for him to experiment. What's more, when Beckham has to play, these two can only start one.

At the end of the game, Wembley erupted into thunderous cheers.

Aldridge stood up and walked to shake hands with the Albanian coach, and then walked towards the players' tunnel. Applaud and thank the fans for their support.

He first went to the locker room and waited for about ten minutes before all the players returned to the locker room.

Facing these national players who were looking happy and excited after the big victory, Aldridge smiled and said: You guys did a good job today, all right. The nearly two-week national team training and competition cycle is temporarily over. We have a good game. But the situation is still very serious. No one wants to go to the World Cup, and no one wants to play in the play-offs. Therefore, in order to qualify for the group, we still have a long way to go. We have to play game by game, etc. You can leave in one click and report back to the club. We will see you next month. I hope you can stay healthy and competitive. I don’t want to repeat some words as the national team coach, because at the club, your coach will definitely repeat it again and again Instill in you, or tell you with a warning, please understand the position of the coach, we have no likes and dislikes and prejudices, everything is for your better, what I want to say is, healthy and good living habits, Improve your professionalism, which will help you hit a higher peak in your career and extend your career life longer, well, the national team will be disbanded on the spot, see you in a month.

After Aldrich said that, he turned and walked out.

Coach, please wait.

Beckham stopped him suddenly, and Aldrich turned around suspiciously, only to see Owen, Beckham, McManaman, and even Scholes, who was usually dull, all smiled.

I don't know, I thought they had an idea about Aldridge's chrysanthemum.

thanks.

The players of the whole team spoke in unison in the locker room. The voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a shocking penetrating power.

The corners of Aldridge's mouth raised slightly, he turned around, opened the door and left.

This group of international players has completely healed the pain of the European Cup today and swept away the haze that lasted for several months.

They came here with anticipation, confusion, or numb mentality, and within half a month, their mentality suddenly changed.

They are now joyful, excited, and full of confidence, and the vigor brought by the young people has also swept away the stagnation and lifelessness of this team.

Aldridge's role is very intuitive, and the same must be true for coaching the national team. There must be immediate results, which is fundamentally different from coaching a club.

The club can have more patience. Half a year, or even a season, can be counted as a cycle of adaptation, adjustment, reconstruction, etc.

And what about the national team? Two years is a competition cycle. As soon as each competition ends, a new competition qualifier will start immediately. Where will there be time and environment to rebuild, slowly adjust, and adjust the team?

No!

Changing coaches is necessary to have the effect of changing knives.

Aldridge took over at a time when the national team was at its worst.

From another perspective, it is also easier to highlight his influence on the team's transformation, and it is easier to win people's hearts.

The worst situation yet the best prospect at the same time.

In a friendly match against Albania, in two games, as long as he wins Albania, Aldridge will be able to pass the stage of questioning at the beginning of his tenure.

Fortunately, Albania is fish belly.

The national team will still play a friendly match next month. England's schedule for this year's World Cup European qualifiers has ended, and the next round of a guest game in Greece will be in March next year.

So this is actually a wonderful schedule, that is, the external environment.

As the qualifiers go on, England's strength will become stronger and stronger. In addition to the maturity of skills and tactics, the growth of some young players will also improve the overall strength of the team.
