The Young Lion

What a wonderful goal! David Beckham scored from long distance! Definitely another classic goal in his career! The perfect combination of arc and speed, from the moment it was shot, it beat the goalkeeper first, the goalkeeper Misjudgment, he thinks the same as us mortals, the ball must have been kicked, but Beckham has the magic to make the football circle and finally fly into the goal! Beckham's goal gave England a two-goal lead, England One step closer to getting the precious 3 points!

The red card in the 1998 World Cup and the conflict with the fans broke out when he lost the European Cup in 2000. Before Aldridge took over the national team, Beckham still had not got rid of the England fans' accusations and was on the cusp.

But after Aldridge took office, the focus was shifted, and at the same time, the England national team took on a new look. As the team's vice-captain, Beckham, with the rise in popularity of the national team, the conflict between him and the fans began to weaken. Now there is progress. The England fans at the scene cheered for him, and the heartthrobs also rushed to celebrate with excitement. He came to the sidelines and opened his arms to become the focus of attention.

Aldrich lowered his head on the sidelines and waved a single fist in front of him, his mind completely settled down.

Two goals behind, the momentum of the Greek team will be suppressed to the bottom, even if they continue to counterattack with all their strength, they may lose their minds.

After all, the current Greece is not the mythical team that Rehhagel has tempered and formed with strict tactics and discipline, and can win the European Cup to the end!

The England commentator was full of praise for the performance of the national team today.

Under the training of Hall, England has brought out all its strengths and advantages. McCarthy's ability to attack, driving Owen's finishing ability, Scholes' organization in the frontcourt and the threat of scoring goals at the back, and on the outside. Lampard. Beckham's long-range threat! This is still a developing team and we will look forward to seeing how this England will perform when the World Cup comes.

The superiority that the English feel good about themselves can't help but show up, and the World Cup qualifiers have not yet been played. Just thinking about the World Cup. It seems that in their eyes, there is no need to worry about England qualifying now.

Aldrich just breathed a sigh of relief. The situation on the field changed suddenly.

Greece has completely unloaded all the psychological burdens. Every player is like a madman. The formation is so chaotic that it is impossible to analyze it reasonably. The action of fighting has reached the critical point inside and outside the rules. In other words, for their fouls, the referee can do whatever they want!

Press like crazy, attack like a devil!

Playing cards out of the ordinary.

Chaos, the Greek coach waved his arms to get the players to attack, attack, attack!

As for how to attack.

Maybe he didn't know either.

It relies on a passion and an unyielding fighting spirit.

Anyway, Aldrich couldn't see the Greek tactical routine, just swarming up to create chaos. The tactical routines that were supposed to perform their duties have become irregular and confusing.

This he-mother just wants to beat the old master to death with random punches!

Seeing the spirit of the players not giving up, the Greek fans in the stands were moved from the bottom of their hearts. The incomparable cheers erupted in the Athens stadium, shaking the sky!

It seems that the gods in Greek mythology are all over the stadium watching the game! Overwhelming!

Aldridge was startled on the sidelines, shocked by the sudden reversal of the aura of the stadium.

1:0 is not safe, as everyone knows.

2:0 is the real danger!

Even Aldridge was mentally relaxed before, thinking that the game should be able to win smoothly, what about the players on the field?

Most of them also think that Greece has been completely defeated. As long as they don't take it lightly, then they will get 3 points!

However, this is Greece after all, it is Athens, and it is the place where myths were born. The Greeks did not give in. Coupled with the cheers from the fans in the stands, the roar of the crowd hit everyone's heart like a stormy sea.

And the Greek players on the field seemed to be those fierce and fearless warriors who fought against the Persian army ten times stronger than themselves thousands of years ago, rampaging and devouring people!

Back then, the alliance of Greek and Spartan warriors relied on the round shield phalanx that made its debut in history, and fought as a whole to defeat the invading army of the Persian dynasty.

Now, as if traveling through the millennium, the Greek players seem to be advancing as a whole, but it is more like an impact after being grouped together, and an offensive point that surprises them.

Most importantly, it achieved the effect of catching England off guard!

Greece attacked continuously! Shoot! Seaman blocked the ball, Greece made a follow-up shot, hit Ferdinand and popped the baseline, corner kick!

Greece won the corner kick. Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of compatriots, they took a corner kick that was not too high quality. Direction, after a header relay, England's corner kick defense missed. A Greek player leaped high and smashed his head next to Lampard. The ball went straight to the goal. Seaman subconsciously saved it and returned without success.

The ball flew into the goal, slipped off the net and rolled out onto the turf.

The Greek player picked up the ball and ran to the backcourt.

The stands of the Athens stadium were completely boiling, and the cheers were like thunder, like the praise of the gods!

Greece didn't give up! Didn't give up! They pulled back a goal through unremitting efforts, scored the ball through a corner kick, 1:2, there are 25 minutes left in the game, they have every chance, as long as they don't give up, the final result of this game Still full of suspense!

Seeing the Greek goal, Aldridge sighed softly.

The worst has happened.

The momentum of Greece is high. If they insist on not scoring for another two or three minutes, this momentum will naturally be vented, because the game has reached the critical point of the players' physical fitness. At this time, the players need mental support. If there is no goal, most of the Greek players It may affect the fighting spirit along with the decline in physical fitness, but if you score a goal, the effect is completely opposite!

It’s hard to criticize England’s corner kick defense. No team’s set-kick defense will never concede a goal. This link has always been full of uncertainties. First of all, one’s own defense is passive and restricts the opponent, while the opponent’s set-kick attack will have Is it a fixed routine? Changes are full of variables in every player movement. Secondly, Aldridge's set-piece defensive arrangement is zone plus man-marking. Players with height, confrontation, and header advantage guard the key areas, and then other defensive players use judgment to mark. This is still theory. In fact, the opponent does not necessarily distribute the attack points evenly. The quality of the set ball is also a key point of influencing factors.

The biggest variable in this conceded goal was the first alley-oop. No one expected the quality of the opponent's corner kick to be so poor, and it landed at the front point outside the small penalty area. In that position, the teammates had almost no other choice but to use the extremely difficult header to ferry, but Greece made it.

The English players subconsciously looked to the sidelines immediately after losing the ball, and the focus of their eyes was on Aldridge.

They were really stunned all of a sudden!

The score is still ahead, however. Greece's violent style of play scored a goal, which shook their hearts.

Are we unable to prevent the opponent's style of play?

If, the opponent can score goals with just a lot of fighting spirit. Why do we still play football with our brains?

Perhaps when Aldridge emphasized tactical discipline, he overly instilled in them that they need to use their brains to play football and need them to be more flexible. This does somewhat suppress the momentum of the players themselves.

For example, Lampard and Beckham, in order to achieve a balance between offense and defense, there can only be one person on the front line. When they are excited about the game, they need to be suppressed by the coach, keep calm, and avoid disrupting the tactics set by the coach. system.

This situation is not normal, but it is quite special in the England national team. Other top teams, Portugal's Figo, Rui Costa, France's Zidane, Brazil's Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc. Wait, these strong team players, they have a lot of freedom, get excited, and play violently is actually showing unparalleled talent.

But England's players are too excited, so what? The technical weakness of the ball-handling ability itself caused them to be too excited to be nothing more than a mistake, which led to being used by the opponent to catch and fight back. Therefore, Aldridge must start from the tactical level instead of counting on the players to be brilliant.

With their feet, world-class players can single out the defense, but can England players do it? If not, then use your brain!

When the players on the field looked towards the sidelines, Aldridge knew that they were confused, struggling, and seeking a solution.

Aldridge never expected that this game in Greece would be in such a dangerous situation.

If the game is finally equalized or reversed with a 2:0 lead, the authority he has established in the national team and the two-way mutual trust between the coach and the players will disappear in an instant!

What was buried was not only a game, but also the past efforts and the cornerstone of the future.

Is Athens, home of the gods, digging a grave for Aldrich?

Not only were the players looking at Aldridge for answers, but the live broadcast cameras were also on him.

Everyone can see that England's momentum in the away game is obviously not as good as that of Greece.

Aldrich held his head high and his chest was indifferent, with his left hand in his pocket, his right hand swung heavily from above, with one palm pressed down, and he remained motionless for a long time.

stable!

To put it bluntly, England's momentum will be completely suppressed by Greece if they retreat now, and there is no possibility of improvement. Whether they can hold on will be a big question.

If it is an offense, it may increase the risk of losing the ball again when Greece's momentum is soaring.

Going forward or stepping back is not a good choice.

Right now, the best option is to hold on!

Do not panic, this is the wind of the strong!

The England players on the field saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines without panic, and the right hand in the downward posture seemed to contain a magic power, which quickly stabilized their mentality, eliminated all distracting thoughts, and carried out the tactical arrangements of the head coach.

When the team re-kicked off, Aldridge raised his eyes slightly and turned to the night sky in Athens.

Thanks Greece!

Bao Jianfeng has been sharpened from scratch. Even though the friendly match has played against Spain and Brazil, the friendly match is after all a training nature, and the main match is against Albania. It can be described as the courage of every man, but it is this courage that can hone the England national team.

Withstand the pressure, calm down, deal with it calmly, and win will promote the cohesion of the national team and even sublimate the team's temperament.

Even if it can't achieve the effect of winning a battle, at least it can let them experience a spiritual cleansing from the inside out.

If he loses and is finally reversed and equalized, Aldridge will immediately take the blame and resign.

After all, football is a team game, not only the 11 players on the field, but also the head coach. Aldridge has done everything he can. He has a clear conscience and gave everything he can bring to this team. , but the team itself couldn't pass its own level and couldn't grow up in the experience, and Aldridge didn't want to mislead his children anymore.
