Red Rebels

840 Lore

From the schedule point of view, England's schedule is indeed relatively unfavorable.

Don't look at England's 5-0 victory over the United States in the first round, and won an amazing victory. At the same time, it also used sound offensive football and delicate technical coordination to completely overthrow the footballers who originally thought that England only knew how to play. The impression of a long pass and a rush to hang also shows the achievements of England's youth training for many years.

But this is just the beginning.

From Rustenburg to Cape Town, it is more than 1,400 kilometers. Although there is a 5-day time interval, for a team, the long-distance battle will definitely not affect it, and after this game After the game, England will go to Port Elizabeth, 700 kilometers away.

Beckham is very aware of the impact of such a long journey on the physical fitness of the players, so on the day he arrived in Cape Town, he did not arrange any training, but gave the players free activities so that they could relax.

"We played very smoothly in the first game, but in the second game, the opponent will definitely not make the mistakes of the United States again." At the tactical seminar, Beckham frowned and said distressed.

A very important reason why the United States lost so much was that they ignored the defense of England. Some of them were too big and did not pay enough attention to England's offensive threat. As a result, they were passive at the beginning of the game. Even at the end of the game, they all Failed to turn the situation around.

But Algeria will not. They will face the amazingly aggressive England in the first round and the second round. They will definitely try to be safe. They will first ensure that they do not lose the ball and adopt conservative tactics. When England wants to break through the opponent's cage, they will also Not so easy.

Although this World Cup has only been played for a few days, it already has an obvious feature, that is, the 4231 formation has been widely used, and almost half of the teams have adopted this formation, but each is different.

Whoever used the 4231 formation first is uncertain, but it was carried forward in the hands of the Red Rebels. This team has been using this tactic since the low-level league. The double midfielder and three attacking midfielders were even more popular among Murray. Neo is extremely flexible.

Each team adopts 4231 tactics. The weak teams basically adopt double midfielders. Two defensive midfielders are placed in front of the defense line. It is obviously to strengthen the defense. When defending, the winger position retreats to participate in the defense. It became 451, or 4411.

As for strong teams, more emphasis is placed on them. For example, in the Netherlands, Kuyt is a winger, but in fact his position is further back. The position of the defender is to highlight Robben on the other side,

The position of the Dutch xiǎo Feixia is almost on the front line.

England's tactics are not 4231, but 433, which is tailored by Beckham according to the characteristics of the current England national team players, making full use of midfielders Gerrard and Lampard's comprehensive xìng, as well as Michael ? Johnson's organizational skills, coupled with the front trident of Rooney, Ismail and Walcott, set off an attacking frenzy.

Algeria, on the other hand, is not a top team even in Africa. When faced with an England that beat the United States in the first round, they would naturally choose to be conservative.

"So the difficulty of the second game must not be lost to the first"

A conservative second-class team and a quasi-first-class team that is open to play, such two opponents, for any team, the former is more difficult to play than the latter.

But for England, the second game is the key to qualifying for the top spot in the group. If they can win Algeria, they can qualify for the group ahead of schedule. Against Slovenia in the last round, England will be under a lot of pressure. You can also rotate relatively and actively prepare for the next knockout.

On the evening of June 18, Cape Town Green Point Stadium

The green point stadium near the sea is more dazzling than the stars and moon in the night sky. Standing on the coastal road, the sound from the stadium seems to be connected with the sea làng from the seaside.

Sitting in the stadium, although I hear the roaring mountains and tsunamis, I believe that every ball mí can't help but look up every few minutes and look at the time on the red scoreboard. Secretly anxious for England.

0:0, 78 minutes, Algeria used extremely conservative tactics, and even they almost compressed all 11 players of the team into the penalty area, that is, they did not give England any scoring opportunities.

High balls, ground balls, free kicks, corner kicks... Almost all scoring methods are used in England, and the 2 mén posts are called countless balls, and the audience can't count how many times there were shèmén and how many times they were shèmén. , but not once was able to enter the net.

Cha Ozzi, 25 years old, 1 meter 92, 82KG, plays for the Algerian domestic club Setif, this player is also an important contributor to Algeria's entry into this World Cup, and his resume is somewhat legendary. In the play-off against Egypt, Gawawi, who had been suspended, started the match, but he immediately seized the opportunity and played extremely well. He blocked Egypt's shèmén many times and brought Algeria to the World Cup finals in South Africa.

Sometimes, in the world of football, it is like this. The suspension of the 32-year-old Gawawi has created the 25-year-old Chaozi in the upper position, and all Algerians believe that Chaozi is Algeria's future number one player, and He will continue to play his role in the World Cup.

But no one thought that in the first game, they met Slovenia, the weakest team in the group. Algeria performed well in the whole game, but a mistake by Cha Ozi caused Algeria's defeat. He changed from a hero to a hero. The sinners of the country, and even many people have appealed to the head coach Rabah Sardani to abolish the qualification of the starting mén general of Chaoqi.

But Rabah Sadani is a legendary coach in Africa. He is so old that he insisted on being a favorite at critical moments and continued to let Cha Ozzi start the game against England. As a result, he did not live up to the high expectations of the old coach.

Beckham stood on the sidelines, staring silently on the field. When Ismail's strong chōushè was saved by Cha Ozzi again, he did not sigh like the ball in the stands, nor did he sigh like the ball behind him. The assistants were so sorry, but their faces were indifferent.

"Cha Ozzi is good at saves, has good reactions, and has balanced abilities. He is the most powerful mén general in Algeria. The disadvantage is that his performance is not stable enough, and he often makes some inexplicable mistakes, but he is a competitive player. Especially when I get excited, I can often play a world-class strength.”

A report sent by the Red Rebel scouts in Africa came to mind, and it pointed to Chaoqi.

Mén will be this location is so magical, didn't someone say? A good mén will be able to stand up to half the team, and now, Cha Ozzi alone can resist England's attack.

"12 minutes left" Darren Lyons came to Beckham's side and reminded loudly.

It's really time for a final adjustment.

Beckham thought to himself, but how should he adjust?

It's like a gamble, no one knows what the adjusted results will be

Who can you trust at this time?

Beckham turned his head and glanced at the bench. There were a group of accomplished players, such as Carrick, Milner, and Defoe, as well as some rookies, such as Rodwell and Wilshere. Who can you trust?

...

In the stands, Mourinho sat with Xiao Yu, Walsh and others.

"At this time, they should continue to attack. Algeria has one breath left. As long as they push harder, they will be finished. They must not hesitate any longer." Mourinho always stared at Beckham standing under the stands.

But Beckham couldn't hear his voice, but the England coach still made up his mind, turned around and pointed to one of the players, "Jack Wilshere, warm up, play"

Wilshere was stunned for a moment, but he jumped off the bench quickly and ran to warm up immediately.

A moment later, Wilshere returned to Beckham's side.

"Do you know why I changed you, Jack?" Beckham pressed Wilshere's shoulder with his right hand and asked him to his ear.

The latter stared at his head coach without nodding or shaking his head because he didn't know what to say.

"Because I trust you, I believe you can bring change to the game, that's because you are from the Red Rebels, I hope you can continue to keep your performance in the Red Rebels, with the way you play, with your In the state of the Red Rebels, play the football that belongs to the Red Rebels, understand?"

After listening to Wilshere, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

Playing Wilshere replaced Ashley Cole, who was active in this game but failed to make a difference.

At this time, the formation on the England field changed immediately.

As early as not long ago, Beckham's first adjustment was to replace Lampard with Ashley Young, playing 442 tactics, Rooney was pushed to the striker to partner with Ismail, but now Ashley Leigh Cole came off and the formation immediately changed to 352, but Wilshere's position was further left, Walcott was pushed further forward, and Gerrard and Michael Johnson's double midfielders were also Press forward, and the back line also presses forward as a whole.

After the substitution, there are already 7 Red Rebel players on the England field. The entire back line is composed of the Red Rebels. The midfield is Michael Johnson, and the front field is Wilshere, Walcott and Iraq. Smel, this is undoubtedly turning England into a red rebel. What is the effect?

In the first bō attack after the substitution, England advanced quickly, but once they reached the threatening area, they were immediately destroyed by the Algerian defenders, who compressed almost all players to the front of the penalty area, because they were also afraid of Gerrard. And Michael? Johnson, the two great gunners.

The offense was ruined and everything seemed the same as before the substitution.

Algeria's counter-attack did not work at all, the ball quickly returned to England's feet, and they once again set up an iron barrel at the front of the penalty area.

But just when everyone thought that England's offense was going to fail again, there was a sudden change on the field.

Wilshere moved to the left, and Michael Johnson's ball was immediately passed to his feet. At this time, he was between the two defenders. After receiving the ball, he turned around immediately, and he protected the ball with his back to block the two who came from behind. The Algerian player, then suddenly the ball to the left.

After Walcott took the ball back, he dribbled the ball horizontally and cut to the front of the penalty area. His area immediately attracted the attention of three nearby players, one of whom was the Algerian central defender, who immediately stepped forward. Came stuck in position.

Walcott kept his head held high, and when facing the attack of the three, he still calmly observed the movements of Wilshere and Ismail, and then saw him within a narrow range, protecting him After the ball, the ball was passed from the gap to Wilshere, who was transferred to the middle. The latter kept the ball and sent it forward.

This send just passed behind the defender and sent it to Ismail's feet. The latter stopped the ball with his left foot, moved his right foot slightly to the left, and moved his entire body to the left. Overwhelmed by his strong body, the Algerian centre-back pulled out a position.

This position is very good, the guards reacted, but Ismail has already swung his left foot and is a chōu

This kick shèmén, the whole world is watching, and Beckham's eyes widened, watching intently.

It's a ground ball, a very difficult high-speed ground ball

Cha Ozzi reacted and made a side attack, but after 80 minutes of intense competition and the torture of England's indiscriminate bombing, his body was fatigued, and his technical movements were inevitably stiff and deformed. The angle of the shèmén on Ismail was very tricky, almost rubbing the mén column in, and his side attack finally failed.

When he saw the ball rolling into the net, Ismail, who fell to the ground after chōu, sat up on his knees, raised his hands, raised his head, and shouted loudly.

On the sidelines, Beckham, Darren Lyons, Cassel and others all hugged one by one.

This is a lore, a hard-won lore

From Michael Johnson's transfer, Wilshere protected the ball to attract defenders, and then moved to the left to Walcott, who just found a seam and passed the ball in the middle of the three defenders. Come out, Wilshere's last pass, Ismail's last shè, the whole process is almost impeccable, without any flaws.

"It was a flawless lore textbook match"

Algeria's defense has done a good enough job, but these Red Rebel players in England just created a gap in the crowd, using their personal abilities to forcibly carve out an attacking space from the copper wall, which is almost called unstoppable

At the post-match press conference, Algeria coach Sadani spoke highly of the cooperation of the four players. He even thought it was a combination of art. He had nothing to lose against such a scorer. Say

…………

…………

With a difficult goal from Ismail, Algeria won 0:1, and England was immediately excited, because Slovenia lost 1:2 to the United States a few hours ago in this game.

In this way, the situation in Group C is very clear. England, which has won two games and two games, has undoubtedly confirmed the qualifying group in advance, and it is still the most popular in the first group. Slovenia and the United States each have 3 points, and Algeria has 0 points. Bottom.

For such a result, Beckham is very satisfied, especially the performance of the internationals who fought to the end.

In order to give the players more time to rest, Beckham arranged for most of the main players to rest in the third game of the group stage, against Slovenia, because this game is as long as England. If the draw is tied, the group will be the first to qualify.

Rodwell, Wilshere, Ashley Young, Defoe, Glen Johnson and other players all started in this game, and the performances of this group of players are also different. Wilshere did not. Can be eye-catching again, but Rodwell, who played a central defender, performed steadily and won a lot of praise.

In a 0-0 game, there is nothing worth talking about. After all, England's bench lineup is in the game, and Slovenia is defensively counterattacking. Neither team has any hope of taking the initiative to attack. The game is naturally lackluster.

As a result, England qualified first in 3 games, and the United States qualified 1:2.

According to the rules of the knockout rounds, the first group C meets the second group D, that is, Ghana, and the second group C meets the first group D, the United States can only choose to touch the strong Germany.

In the group stage of this World Cup, three teams have won all three games. One is Argentina in Group B. Maradona's team played the most violent attack in this World Cup. In the game, they defeated Nigeria, South Korea and Greece 3:1, 4:1 and 4:1 respectively. They won all three games and scored 11 goals and lost 3 goals, and entered the knockout stage.

Argentina played a very strong attack in the group stage. The combination of Messi, Di Maria, Aguero and Tevez has become the most efficient combination in this World Cup, which is daunting. .

But as Mourinho mentioned when he talked to Maradona on the phone after the game, Argentina's defense has problems, conceding 3 goals in three games, this kind of defense is very worrying, and the group stage is not bad. Once it reaches the knockout stage with stronger tactics, Argentina will be in danger.

However, Argentina's opponent in the knockout round is Mexico, which is also a team with strong offense and weak defense. The collision between these two teams is promising.

The other two teams with three-game winning streak are the Netherlands and Germany. The German tank also played a hearty offensive football in this World Cup. The performance of the young generals was surprising, and they were also the best in the group stage. sè's team.

Although the Netherlands also won three consecutive victories, compared with Germany and Argentina, their success is doubtful, because although they won, they lost the tradition of Dutch football, which made many Dutch players doubt the Dutch national team. Strength.

As for England coached by Beckham, the first round was indeed shocking, but the difficulty of this round and the draw in the third round made the players less optimistic about England, only those professionals who always believed that the England at the World Cup showed a striking balance of technical football.

As for their opponents in the knockout rounds, Ghana, it is no surprise that England's chances of passing this hurdle are not ordinary, but no one knows how far they can go.
