The Young Lion

In just a few days of training for the England national team, the team has established a good atmosphere. Competitive sports are always based on the record. The record is good. The probability of chaos in the overall situation is not high. On the contrary, it may break out. A series of negative events, the English national team ushered in the era of Aldridge, and at this stage, everything seems to be booming.

As the friendly match with Spain drew closer, Fleet Street focused on this match.

Jiangshan came out on behalf of talented people, Aldrich's new national team feels very young, except for the old goalkeeper Seaman and captain Southgate, all other players are under 30 years old, the media speculated The starting lineup is ten or nine, and the players on the court are all playing. It is very exciting. Of course, they guessed the left back and thought that Aldridge would still use Phil Neville.

Before going to Spain, Aldridge gave an interview. When talking about friendly games, he said lightly: "This is just a friendly game. I want to see the team’s mental appearance, competitive state, nothing more, victory or defeat, it doesn’t matter. ."

The young commander's remarks made Fleet Street unacceptable.

Why did you start to be a national team coach and start to pick up your tail?

Isn't this stance just giving yourself a way out?

As a result, the Fleet Street reporters were arrogant and a little bit forced to force Aldridge into a desperate situation, forcing him to fight back into the water and publicize the fighting will of the Three Lions in a high-profile manner: it must be won!

The reporters pointed out that friendly matches have a direct impact on the FIFA points in England. If they are not valued, they will likely affect the draw of the World Cup in England.

Aldridge was confused and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it enough for England to talk about the World Cup now?"

Whether it is a World Cup or not is a big question. Consider FIFA points now.

Originally, the media wanted to give Aldridge a face, but the three lion team's handle did not have any awareness. How can the glorious England national team be so low-key?

At this time, Fleet Street simply stopped talking about friendly games and turned over old accounts.

Question the question of Aldridge recruiting members of the national team and reuse Millwall players. If you break the finger and count, players with Millwall background or history occupy half of the national team, the reporters pretend to be worried whether Aldridge will Be celibate like Keegan.

Aldrich was fed up with their unprovoked accusations. In this respect, the media said a few days ago that Aldridge has capacity and meritocracy.

An example is that he recruited Alan Smith, who had a direct conflict with him, and this volume was described as a gentleman's style.

Aldridge finally walked away.

Most of the news published on Fleet Street the next day was pessimistic.

I think that Aldridge led the team to Spain this time, and the training is indeed training, but it is likely to encounter a defeat and return, and the excuse, Aldridge has already found a good match before the game: the victory or defeat of the friendly match is not important!

Who is the opponent?

Spain!

Compared to history, England should be better than Spain. Spain has only won the European Cup in 64 years, and the best result in the World Cup is the fourth place, and England has a World Cup champion.

But Spain has a remarkable name at this time.

king!

Prefix: Qualifier.

The qualifier king!

On the three-point acre of Europe, the qualifiers are grouped, and the top teams encounter San Marino, the French islands, and it is normal to brush 6-8 goals in a single game.

But what about Spain?

Just over a year ago, he was able to brush 9 goals in Austria in a single game!

Just after the European Cup, in the qualifiers, Spain's offensive firepower was dazzling, with 40+ goals!

Now in the World Cup qualifiers that have just started, Spain is also in full swing, and the offensive firepower has been a mess.

England contacted the friendly match, and also specifically found Spain, and it was an away game. Isn't this the door to death?

Fleet Street is pessimistic and sees the decline of the national team's departure to Spain.

Aldridge's mentality is not happy, the friendly match, can't make a big move, the purpose is to train troops, find problems, correct problems, and let the team run in with actual combat.

The England national team was uniformly dressed under the rule of Aldridge. When he went on the expedition, the suit was worn. The handsome guy went to Valencia, Spain, but many English fans followed.

The home team of the Spanish national team is not fixed at Wembley as England, but takes turns to bid and bid for the city where the stadium with the hardware facilities meets the standard. This time, the home team of the Spanish national team is arranged in Mesta, Valencia Leah.

Stayed in the hotel and spent the whole night. The next night, Mestalla was packed and ushered in the battle of Spain vs England.

There are more than 10,000 fans in England. They are more excited. No matter what the media writes, in short, the best local coach of England has a debut in the A-level event. It is a matter of course.

Spanish fans hold a good play mentality.

England?

Is it awesome?

Our Spanish bullfighters are on the offensive, and it is a piece of cake to abuse you.

There is also that less handsome, the coaching club is indeed prestige, but the national team is two different things, today, I will give you a dismountable power!

When Aldridge came in, the English fans in the stands cheered, and the Spanish fans also made a huge noise just to overshadow the momentum of their opponents.

"It's strange that Hall coaches the England national team. Isn't he going to use Irving? Today he put Irving on the bench and the starting single forward is Husky."

The live commentators from England were all ignorant.

England abandoned 442, and they have nothing to say. After playing 442 for so many years, there is no decent result. Give up.

However, in this starting lineup, I didn't see Irving, but I saw it on the bench list, which is puzzled.

If it wasn’t for the press conference to crash with the reporters, Aldridge will tell the outside world in advance that Irving will play the bench when he talks about the friendly match. After all, someone will definitely ask who will start.

He was unlucky to say that Owen is the biggest card and the most capable striker.

Unfortunately, Aldridge did not want to overdraw his physical fitness.

He is not even 21 years old!

But since the blockbuster in Liverpool, almost all games without injuries and illnesses, plus the national team has also been reused, how much rest time does he have in a season?

Now, Aldridge can indeed use him, and it seems that it has little effect, but this accumulated physical load will affect his future, frequent injuries, and premature slip from the peak period.

Doing his best to obey God's destiny, Aldridge can give Owen some rest and give him more time. This point, he also greeted Owen during private exchanges. Friendly match, you can rest.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines waiting for the game to start, but when he saw the starting lineup of the Spanish national team, his eyes changed and he looked at the Spanish national team coach Camacho inexplicably.

Brother Camacho, you're doing God Horse!

Amuse me!

When Aldridge suggested to the FA to contact friendly opponents, he specifically looked for European strong teams.

Finalizing Spain, he was satisfied.

The qualifier king can achieve the purpose of testing the team.

In particular, Spain's oppressive offensive and aggressive team has attacked fiercely. Even if he abused England, Aldridge doesn't care. Instead, he can find the team's defense problems more intuitively and then proceed to solve them.

He naturally wants to see Spain put on the strongest lineup.

But who did Camacho go to today?

Albelda, Harvey, Joaquin, Vicente, Tristan...

It is undeniable that these players have strength, but it is by no means the main force of Spain now, not the strongest lineup they can come up with.

Aldridge's expression became annoyed.

He thought of a possibility.

He hopes to use this game to train his troops and face the stormy offensive in Spain to test the team's defense.

However, Spain was reluctant to make him happy.

Spain's strong team, known as the king of the qualifiers, has a soft foot in the international competitions. The European Cup group stage in summer stumbled and eventually broke through, and was then eliminated by the championship team France.

Camacho also started to transform the team, revising his Spanish team whose offense was gorgeously messed up, so that the team began to move towards balance, and at the same time enabled more newcomers to test the effect...

England and Spain seem to have the same idea, and they all want to use their opponents to train troops. As a result, both parties may not be able to do so.

Aldridge was depressed. He came to play in a friendly match. He wanted to use his opponent's experience to practice leveling. Good guy, the other party also intends to come and also want to use England to level.

The friendly did not start, Aldridge was crying.

After the game started, Spain's offense seemed to be able to play well.

Albelda defended in the middle, Harvey organized, Joaquin and Vicente flew on the sidelines, Raul and Tristan stormed ahead.

The English fan reconciliation was also depressed after watching the game for 5 minutes.

What the **** is going on!

The defense line is so backward?

Grab it!

Press to attack!

Vicente and Joaquin seemed to be showing their way on both sides, but Aldridge was not worried.

These two flying wings are Millwall people, the style of training is pragmatic and concise, and there is no problem to break through when there is a lot of space, especially in the area between the midfield and the first 35 yards of the penalty area. .

But as long as they enter the area 35 yards before the penalty area, they will be caught on the sidelines.

Southgate is the busiest person on the field, but instead of running back and forth, he shouted hoarsely.

"David, **** him! Nicky, follow up, Frank, lean towards the middle."

Southgate directed the three midfielders to maintain defensive distance, and when the timing was right, he decisively started to block.

There is no constant defense requirement on the court. For example, fighting is very particular. If you go alone, what should you do?

When to grab?

The reasonable and appropriate timing is the right distance from teammates. Even if you fail to grab, you can ensure that you will not reveal more space to your opponents. At the same time, you can also create new opportunities for your opponents to be intercepted when they break through.

For the first time, Beckham, Bart and Lampard cooperated in the official game. The defensive tacit understanding needs to slowly accumulate. Southgate's command is critical.

When Vicente took the ball on the left and went forward to the dangerous zone, he was caught in a double breadcuff. Beckham kept sealing his inner route, and Neville did not rush to grab him, blocking his way forward. .

Vicente will either pass back or break through. The Harvey reception point in the middle has been stared by Scholes. The reception point of the front line also has Bart stuck in the line. At the same time, he is also waiting for the opportunity to support behind Beckham.

The ball is on the left side of Vicente. On the contrary, the right defense is easier. So Southgate commanded the waistline to lean towards Vicente. If Spain attacks too much, then England will adjust accordingly. There are three people who do lateral defense, and the personal movement distance is not so far.

At this moment, Aldridge nodded.

Spain's attacking frontcourt was cut by England through a reasonable defensive position, and the number of defenders in England was still dominant.
