The Young Lion

Aldridge's substitutions were extremely decisive. In the eyes of others, Aldridge has already formed a school of his own, with an obvious Hall style.

He replaced McManaman and Irving, who was replaced?

Hargreaves and Alan Smith!

This is not to attack, and if there are more than ten minutes left, just defend to the end and grind the opponent to death.

It's not that the young marshal's style is fixed on a utilitarian color, but that he will play out the cards in his hand in the safest and most reasonable way.

If it were someone else, at least for now, they would still retain some face, even if it was a token to leave one of Irving or McManaman to deter Turkey, but the young marshal just didn’t. Now it might be said that the young marshal is too conservative, but considering Brazil’s The United States has one more day off than the England team. Doesn't the England team allow important players to retain some energy?

And when he replaced Hargreaves and Alan Smith, he was determined to defend, and it was not the old-fashioned defense of piling up guards and laying iron barrels. It made the entire defensive system more compact and solid. Starting with Smith in the midfield, going backwards is like a pyramid, and all players have defensive attributes!

At this moment, Junesh's face was livid with anger, and he cursed shamelessly again in his heart.

Adding the scolding before, the evaluation of Aldridge is four words.

Shameless and cunning!

Türkiye also changed players, adding an offensive player Ilhan.

But England is very calm at this time, they are too familiar with the current situation.

As long as the ball is held steadily, the opponent will not be able to hold back and rush up to press, and then. The opponent messed up. They can have a better counterattack chance.

If it weren't for the fact that Brazil would be played in 3 days. I'm afraid Aldridge will not withdraw Irving, just like they did when they were a guest in Munich in the world preliminaries, counterattacking all the way to the end, blasting their opponents to pieces.

In the final stage of the game, the audience thought that they would enter garbage time, but in fact it didn't, because it seemed on the scene. Far more exciting than the first 70 minutes.

It originated from Türkiye's frantic attack, and the soldiers attacked under pressure.

Hargreaves replaced Beckham after his debut, released Beckham, and then England's counterattack became more threatening.

The Turkish defense line is no longer crumbling,

It's like nothing.

In the 83rd minute, England played 3 against 2 in the frontcourt. Smith, Scholes, and Beckham made it to the front line.

After two minutes. Smith received a long pass from Beckham to get a single-handed ball, and single-handedly entered the Turkish penalty area. It ended up being sabotaged when trying to get past the keeper.

Just entering injury time, Beckham hit the goal post with a direct free kick, and Lampard made a supplementary shot.

After the England team wasted many golden opportunities, the Xingyue Legion seemed to be defeated.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Gunes seemed to have not figured out where he lost.

When he shook hands with Aldridge, he seemed extremely unwilling. Aldridge won if he won, and there was no need to be aggressive. Instead, Lineker pointed out that Turkey lost in the first attack when he made a column report after the game. The details of this tactical contest.

The Nagai Stadium in Osaka became a sea of ​​celebrations for the English. England fans were reluctant to leave for a long time, reveling in the stands, shouting their long-cherished wish to defeat Brazil and go to Yokohama to win the Hercules Cup!

At the end of the game, the England team defeated Turkey 2-0 with Lampard's first goal and Turkish player Tugai's own goal, and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup! England's World Cup trip is more like On behalf of Europe to fight against the strongest power in South America. In the group stage, they encountered Argentina and will soon face Brazil. The main powers in Europe were all eliminated due to various non-technical factors, and finally entered the semi-finals. , two from Europe, one from Asia, and one from South America, if we can beat Brazil, the England team will create the best major competition results in the past 35 years, no one will be dissatisfied with Hall's Three Lions , They have reached the standard, which is enough for us to be proud of, but we hope that England in this competition can make the English people worship!

Aldridge walked into the field after the game, but at this time he did not greet the players with a smile as before, but had a natural calm look.

The live camera captured the weird scene.

On the England bench, most of the players rushed into the pitch to celebrate, while England's coaching staff was extraordinarily calm, as if they were eliminated rather than advanced to the semi-finals.

Because the coaching staff is the Millwall coaching staff.

They are used to this kind of victory, and, the more they reach the final stage of the game, their joy of winning will automatically be suppressed.

If you fall to the top 16 or top 8, it is estimated that there will be a heavy blow and it will be depressing for a while.

But after entering the semi-finals, there are only two games away from the championship.

In this context, these coaches are more calm and serious.

If you can't win the championship, the frustration of failure, pity, regret, will be far heavier than falling to the top 16 or top 8!

Therefore, the next second after the end of the quarter-finals is the shock, and the start of preparations for the semi-finals, even a second of excitement, joy, and enjoyment, they themselves will not allow.

This is also to give the players an attitude and let them understand: Now that you have come here, accumulate excitement and joy and release it after winning the championship. If you fail to win the championship, at least your mentality will not fluctuate too much. a kind of training.

Aldridge hugged each player calmly, and then patted them on the back. There was no praise, but only one sentence: Go back and have a good rest. After three days, we will beat Brazil and go to Yokohama to play the World Cup final!

An understatement, but it instilled extremely strong beliefs, so that the players of the England team did not stay on the field for too long, and did not even formally thank the fans. To celebrate, everyone took showers and changed clothes in an orderly manner, and followed the arrangements of the coaching staff and team doctors. Active recovery from physical fatigue. Gearing up to have a shocking battle with Brazil.

Aldridge came to the post-match press conference. At this moment, all the seats are full, and many reporters have no place to sit, so they simply stand along the aisle.

Talking about the result of the game, Aldridge said without arrogance or impatience: The England team is stronger than Turkey. We played well today and we won. It is a very reasonable result.

The reporters following the match nodded secretly.

Türkiye gives people the feeling of losing the game in a daze.

It's not that the Turkic fighters are sleepwalking on the field, but people don't know where Turkey's ambitions for the game are?

The attack is not sharp. Shou is not firm.

At the level of the top 8, if you want to defeat an opponent like England, you must show a firm belief and fight to the death. Whether it is offense or defense, you must unswervingly execute it. It reflects this will. Unfortunately, Turkey does not.

They are like Senegal, the outside world bashes Mechu. The media's attacks are sometimes grandstanding, not so much that Mechu lost to the 5 defenders. It would be better to say that they lost to the double forwards.

However, in the football environment that advocates offense, there is really no media that will accuse Senegal of having ambitions for offense.

And Turkey also followed Senegal's old path. As for whether the media would criticize Gunes for putting up three defenders to kill himself after the game, that was not Aldridge's concern, and he didn't bother to point out that it was not the point at all.

Millwall's opponents in the Premier League basically did not dare to put up a double striker and could only respond with a single striker formation. Millwall relied on offense.

The technical and tactical strength of the England team is the same. If the offense does not have a world-class team, don't have expectations that the frontal attack with two forwards will be effective.

For the semi-final opponent Brazil, looking forward to this game, Aldridge still said lightly: Brazil is very strong, oh, I said something nonsense. They will be the strongest opponents that England will face in this competition. They Strong in offense, England strong in defense, this will be a contradictory battle, no one can say that they will win, but I think it may be the mentality of the players that decides the game.

When the normal press conference was over, a reporter immediately asked impatiently: Mr. Hall, just before the other World Cup quarter-finals in the afternoon, did you watch it?

The reporters at the scene were shocked, and secretly said: Here comes the theme!

Yes, in their eyes, this is the theme.

England's victory over Turkey is really not a surprise, but the Three Lions have beheaded another dark horse.

And the war of words between Aldrich and South Korea is not over yet, I am afraid that it will not come to an end until the end of the World Cup, because the South Korean team will also have two games, a semi-final, the last game, or the final , or the third place battle.

Aldridge said indifferently: I saw it. I hope I haven't seen it.

Why?

Because that's not a football game.

what is it then?

Robbery in broad daylight. There is nothing to discuss about this issue. What you want from me is nothing more than what many people around the world have said. In Korea, football has become a blatant robbery by mediocre clowns. I I don’t know if South Korea made a mistake. The World Cup is held in South Korea. It is the glory of South Korea. It doesn’t mean that the World Cup has become a Korean Cup. It’s time to wake up. It’s just that the Italian game has more than 4 million Complaint emails, counting Portugal and Spain, the whole world has just taken action to complain to them, has there been more than 10 million people? Why hasn't an investigation been launched? Are there thousands of fans all over the world who are blind? It is challenging the conscience of fans all over the world, and it is subverting the foundation of football. There is nothing to discuss about it. If some officials stand up and say that the match between Portugal, Italy, and Spain vs. South Korea is completely fair, I believe more than 90% of the audience I prefer to believe that pigs can fly in the sky.

The reporters wrote furiously and nodded frequently, and then someone asked: The main force of the Spanish national team, Elguera, declared that he would curse people after the match, and agreed with your previous remarks. He may face punishment. What do you think about this?

Aldrich shook his head and said: I have no opinion, I just want to calmly watch how this farce in the World Cup will continue. The World Cup comes to Asia for the first time, and then, all the promises and expectations before the start of the game have been fulfilled. Destroyed and left in history, this World Cup is full of controversy, full of unbearable memories, and has lost a certain degree of credibility. Now they just want to cover up and suppress all voices they don't want to hear. What's the use of that? What? Every day in the past has become history, and there is no ability to cover up and tamper with history. Unfortunately, it is the organizer, manager, or supervisor of football. When they make mistakes, who will supervise and sanction them? What? No, so, the injured are the fans, the injured are the Portuguese, Italian, Spanish national teams.

Korea national team coach Guus Hiddink said after the game that Spain should reflect on itself instead of challenging the referee's authority. What do you think?

He put a stinky fart! I have never met Hiddink, never said a word, and have no friendship, but I think a football coach must at least know what shame is. If he is blind, I apologize. He is not. If he is a Korean, I don’t bother to talk to him, but as an accomplished head coach, what qualifications does he have to make Spain reflect on himself? What is the Korean team better than Spain? The Korean team should Winning the game? Where was Hiddink's conscience when he said that? Was he eaten by a dog?

When Aldrich said these words, the scene suddenly fell silent. (to be continued..) ()
