The Young Lion

The national team rested for one day. The members of the national team adhered to the team rules set by Audridge. No player dared to show up in a nightclub and other entertainment venues and went home to rest in peace.

After returning to the Leo training base and preparing for the World Cup qualifiers, the team's mental outlook has undergone new changes, the spirit is uplifted, and all the spirits are vigorous.

Although the friendly victory over Spain did not meet Aldridge's desired training goal, the positive impact of the result was immediate.

Training is easier, keeping the state is the main one. The national team is not like a club. Even though Aldridge feels that the players have room for transformation, he will not be targeted for training when the national team is training. Like Carragher, Aldridge wants to let him Play as a central defender as early as possible, but this job should be done by the Liverpool club. The national team has no such environment. It only takes a few days to train the players throughout the year.

After a day of training, Aldridge left Beckham and Seaman behind.

The two players were unknown, so they stood honestly in front of Aldridge waiting for instructions.

"David, how many free kicks can you play in a minute?"

Beckham thought back and said: "5-6."

Aldridge nodded and said: "In the future, after the national team training, you practice a free kick for 15 minutes. Is there a problem?"

Beckham agreed to it, but he felt a little puzzled.

In addition to practicing free kicks, he often works in the club, or it is because he has worked **** this since he started training, and he now has the famed stunt of the Bézier arc.

Seaman naturally went to guard the goal. He thought he was a sparring partner. When he was his age, he said that he could increase his ability. This is not pure nonsense.

Aldrich stipulated the distance of Beckham’s free kick training, about 35 yards to 40 yards, let Boas help to put the football on the side and shoot from different angles.

While Beckham was about to start training for a direct free kick, Aldridge pulled him and Seaman was already standing in front of the goal.

"Coach, what else to say?"

Beckham was confused, and suddenly came from a free kick, which is strange in the national team environment.

Aldridge said softly to him: "There is a requirement to remember that before you take a free kick, first observe the position of the goalkeeper. If he is in front of you, you will hang the door, just hang the door, the other does not need to. , Even if there is a better angle, choose the hanging door, if he is in a reasonable position, then you can practice as you want."

Beckham was confused, and asked: "Coach, is there any deep meaning?"

Aldridge smiled inscrutablely: "Prepare for rain."

Beckham shook his head, and was not interested in getting to the bottom, and he was right.

Aldridge watched today's "special training" on the sidelines.

Seaman faced about 60-70 direct free kicks, about 5-6 of them. He stood slightly forward, Beckham's hanging door succeeded once, and the others all flew.

Aldridge never expects a word or two to change a player's playing habits. The cumulative training is the most reliable.

Seaman, the 2002 World Cup is not guaranteed, Ronaldinho was stunned, and Ronaldinho's dazzling rainbow was achieved, and he became a sinner of the England national team.

Can he correct his shortcomings in front of the long-range direct free kick, Aldrich does his best to see the future effects, after all, his shortcomings have been caught by opponents in the Premier League.

Hopefully, the hanging door that Beckham deliberately deepened Seaman's impression time and time again, making him vigilant.

A few days later, the Albanian national team visited England.

As usual, Aldridge attended the press conference. Within a week, his treatment was very different, and the atmosphere on the spot was extremely harmonious.

And Aldridge has always been telling the truth. Today, his big truth makes Fleet Street mistakenly think that the young commander should be high-profile.

"For tomorrow's game, we have only one goal: to win. No other result can be accepted."

Right, this is what the leader of the Three Lions should have!

In addition to winning, all other shit!

Aldrich is telling the truth and nonsense!

England can't win the weakest Albania in the group at home, why go to the World Cup? Oh no, can I still go to the World Cup?

The first show, ah, Aldridge ushered in the first show, the national team debut.

Although the current situation of the team is not good for England, the timing is good now. The team is in high spirits, playing at home, and the opponent is also weak.

Wembley, such a huge game of strong and weak suspense, English fans still flocked, many officials of the FA also came to the scene, they can no longer be satisfied with the current situation of the national team!

From an interest perspective, Aldridge and his coaching staff have very low salaries. After all, they play part-time jobs.

But the benefits from Aldridge are huge, and all sponsors go directly to the FA to submit new sponsorship contracts!

Aldridge’s image, the appeal, and his legendary color as the youngest national team coach in history... can it not make money?

Tickets for Wembley are much better than before.

After the English friendly match victory over Spain, Football Association President Thompson even talked about it at the reception: hiring Aldridge to coach is the most correct decision!

The goods can't wait to take credit for themselves.

"There is only one change in England's starting game from the start of the last friendly match. That is the striker. Husky sits on the bench and Irving starts! There is no doubt that today's England is stronger than the last game!"

England fans sit relaxed in the Wembley stands, waiting to see the good show and enjoy a hearty victory.

Spain, the king of the qualifiers, have been played three away by us, Albania? Sending 3 points is the most basic consumption, followed by a few more goal difference to make people satisfied.

But 20 minutes after the start of the game, the English fans in the Wembley stands were dumbfounded.

The score is 0:0.

England seemed to show no signs of breaking the door, and threats offensively were also pitiful.

On the scene, England has an absolute advantage, pressing the opponent to attack!

Aldridge laughed on the sidelines.

This group of Britons is just abusive!

The difference between strength and weakness, Albania came to play away, retreat when coming up, is a normal choice, the strength is not good, then you can only use human tactics to ensure that the ball is not lost.

And what are the players in England playing on the field?

Oppressive attack!

It's true to play a team with a delicate play style, but England is not good at this kind of small-scale cooperation. It is suppressing the opponent, so what?

Penetration straights are constantly being destroyed, and the ability to get rid of the ball is still lacking. The ball has been brought back and forth repeatedly from the front of the Albania penalty area to the front center.

Albania broke the clearance and England scored again. Albania broke the clearance and England scored...

4321 has almost become 2143.

They couldn't get in through such an infiltration play, and they started to cross again.

Aldridge really wanted to kick Beckham's ass!

Who do you pass to?

Irving at 1.72?

Scholes at 1.74?

Or is McManaman, who is the tallest at 1.84 in the frontcourt?

People just put an intensive defense. If you pass in this way, there is not even a lot of empty space in the penalty area. Do they rely on confrontation and Jordan jumps to make a jump in the air relay?

Before the game, Aldridge did make a death order in the locker room. This game must be won. The situation is so. Everyone knows that they do not win. I am afraid that even the qualification for the playoffs will be suspended.

As for Albania's style of play, Aldridge can also foresee that it is impossible for the opponent to come to Wembley to fight against England with a big sword. It is inevitable to focus on defense.

Therefore, Aldrich emphasized that the oppressive snatching in tactics must be carried out firmly.

Well, they performed very well, oppressive snatching, forwards, front midfielders almost encircled the opposing goalkeeper, and the midfielders and fullbacks also stepped forward to oppress.

The effect is very good, Albania is too scared to dare to pass the ball in the backcourt, just keep the big foot forward.

But the question is coming, the opponent just clears, what about the players? Naturally, I have been staying in the 30 yard area in front of the goal. There are no signs of loosening on the two defensive lines of the nine players. The remaining one striker is suffering. The teammates released him and rushed forward. Can't touch the ball, it is estimated that he can cry in the toilet during intermission.

How does Aldridge hope that the football game will be the same as the basketball game, let's call a timeout?

This group of internationals, the victory of the friendly match is back, the opponent's strength is not dripping, I expect to be able to take the chance to brush the data and show a face, as a result, kicked into shit!

Aldrich's tactical essentials are completely forgotten.

Aldridge took the opportunity of a sideline ball to reach the sideline. Beckham was dedicated. The ball was out of bounds and was immediately picked up.

"David, wait."

Beckham was probably in a state of excitement. He heard Aldridge call him. He turned his head and slipped his hands. The ball was thrown to Aldridge...

The fans at Wembley were stunned.

"Uh, Beckham serves the sideline and then throws the ball to out-of-bounds coach Hall. Is this an English soldier? But a team on the football field cannot have 12 players."

The narrator was teasing, Beckham was embarrassed, and the referee awarded Albania the sideline.

"Coach, what's the matter? I..."

Beckham said he was about to put in the game to defend, and Aldridge said to him lightly, "You come first, don't care about the game, it's mine to lose the ball."

Beckham looked back, and Albania was indeed attacking. The forward, who was tired like a grandson, rushed forward, but there should be no play. Southgate has controlled the high altitude ball.

Beckham rested his mind and walked off the field. Aldridge was reminded by the fourth official not to leave the area specified by the head coach, so he beckoned to Beckham and let him walk slowly back to the command area of ​​the home team coach.

The referee came to ask what happened to Beckham?

Why did you play when you kicked? The fans in the stands and the audience watching the live TV were also stunned.

Really wonderful.

During the game, the head coach took the initiative to call a player out, and it looked very leisurely.

Aldridge dealt with the referee at will, lied that Beckham felt unwell, and the team doctor wanted to check it out.

Beckham took a breath and also picked up a bottle of water to replenish.

"Coach, why did you call me out? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Well, you all have problems."

"Ok?"

Aldridge asked Beckham to turn around, making his eyes look the same as his own, looking towards the situation in England's frontcourt.

"David, what did you see?"

"Uh, we are attacking and the opponent is defending."

"But what are we doing when the opponent is going to attack?"

"Press defense, isn't this what you asked for?"

"When did I let you go to the opponent's penalty area to carry out a defensive defense?"

"Ok?"

Beckham thought about it, and finally shook his head.

Aldrich said in a deep voice: "When training, I always emphasized that the siege, anti-robbing, the key area is in the midfield, if it is in the frontcourt, do you think the third line of England can keep in touch? It’s difficult for a stronger opponent to be penetrated layer by layer. Do you know why the Italian team doesn’t pay attention to rob but uses chain defense?"

"Because aggressively grabbing is easy to be broken one by one."

"Yeah, the truth is the same, even if we play like this today and win, but this defensive strategy will definitely be ravaged by the top teams. Wait a minute, you will return to the field, tell all players, withdraw, when training If you ask for it, you can play as you please. Don’t think it’s easy to win because your opponent is weak. If you want to win this game, you can only win by luck. Did Michael Owen turn into Michael Jordan and break the header?"

Beckham also felt that playing just now had no effect, just like the long pass in England, but there wasn't even a high center on the field.

He nodded and returned to the sidelines. After the referee allowed it, he ran into the court and passed on to tell the teammates the will of the coaches. After he conveyed the instructions from Audridge, he suddenly laughed.

Irving turned into Jordan?

The coach is really humorous.

He didn't think about whether his nerve reflex arc was too long, and it only took a while...
