The Young Lion

In the early winter, fans in England focused on the friendly match of the national team, and the FA football propaganda has spread throughout the streets.

In 2000, in this special year, Wembley's final battle this year, England vs Brazil!

In the friendly match, select opponents, Aldridge suggested to the FA, choose as many strong teams as possible!

In the qualifiers, only Germany's opponents in the group in the qualifiers are considered strong teams. The other opponents are weak players of different grades. England cannot use the weak teams to brush up experience in friendly games.

The friendly game is also an image project, especially in the local community. The FA neither wants to lose face, nor does it want to blame Aldridge's advice. The two are in the honeymoon period. The coach still has a certain weight.

The FA has an overview of the international strong teams, and finally selected Brazil. It generously gave the Brazilian Football Association a very expensive playing fee. The FA looks generous. They just signed a sponsorship agreement with a new sponsor, and the national team should polish The signboards naturally need weighty supporting roles, otherwise, England will find Iceland, Andorra and other teams to play friendly games, the sponsors may not be happy.

This friendly match is full of gimmicks.

In the past three years, Brazil has been the winner of two intercontinental competitions. In 1997 and 1999, it won the America’s Cup consecutively. At the same time, it was also the runner-up winner of the 98 World Cup. Looking at the record, they have more influence than England.

But Aldrich felt that the FA was too slippery after being notified of the FA's finalized friendly match.

Not to mention the disadvantages of the Brazilian team playing away, after all, they have many players who are playing in Europe, such as Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Carlos, Cafu and so on.

The alien Ronaldo, who didn't mention the biggest card, was still injured at Inter Milan, weakening the team's combat effectiveness.

Just because of the recent chaos in Brazil, the combat effectiveness of this national team is really uncomfortable.

The World Cup runner-up in 1998 caused a national shock in Brazil, and even held a hearing to investigate the game. The legendary coach Zagalo stepped down and Lucenberg took office.

Lusenborg led Brazil to defend the America’s Cup, and at one time he was devoted to the power of the Brazilian national team, and was regarded as a mythical figure by Brazilian fans. However, after the peak of the America’s Cup defending, Lusenborg fell into one scandal after another. , The secret relationship with the secretary, recruiting members of the national team for black gold, illegal trading, etc. At the same time, the World Cup South America qualifiers started earlier, the Brazilian national team once suffered a six-game losing streak in the World Cup qualifiers, and the hope of participating in the World Cup has changed As he became more and more slim, Lusenberg was in constant voice after class. In order to restore trust, he personally led the Brazilian Olympic team to the Olympics three months ago. As a result, he was shamefully blocked by Cameroon from the top 4. Lusenberg was ordered to resign. Leo takes over.

In the qualifiers, losing streak and catching up with the change of coaches, such a brave and disjointed tactical system of Brazil's national team, I am afraid that there is no way to talk about it, it is most appropriate to describe it with four words: foreign strong and dry.

Paper strength, they are very strong, but the actual combat strength is just the opposite.

The opponent selected by the FA really made Aldridge laugh and cry, but he comforted himself from another angle, and he felt pretty good.

Growing England meets chaotic Brazil. Regardless of this, at least this opponent can arouse the desire of the entire England team to fight.

In an interview before the game, Aldridge was still the argument that "Friendly matches do not value victory".

The original plan was to close Wembley last month, but Aldridge requested a delay of one month to allow the English national team to finish the national team game this year, and then move to other stadiums to play at home.

During the restructuring of Wembley, the home team of the national team can undertake bidding undertakings, Old Trafford, Lion King Stadium, etc. are all powerful alternative courses.

The fans who came to Wembley today not only brought a camera, but many people also brought simple tools. They planned to remove the seats in the stands after the game and move home to keep them in memory...

When the national team first trained in the Aldridge era last month, the team focused on trying to run in. More than a month later, the players assembled again, and they were full of confidence.

Today, the performance is slightly stable. At least the team's technical and tactical framework is clear and clear. The football IQ and experience of these players allow them to integrate into the tactical system as quickly as possible.

Aldridge sat on the coach seat and watched the game with a tepid expression. 22 players on the field fought fiercely. The scene was very exciting because both teams have their own characteristics.

Brazilian players are very strong, very strong!

The unpredictable Rivaldo, like Ronaldinho dancing on the toes of football, is like Carlos with explosive power carrying a rocket launcher...

Brazilian players touch the ball on the court, it can bring people enjoyment.

However, they are only superior to the individual, the individual players are superior in ability, playing samba football on the court, free and romantic and full of poetry, but they have not been able to merge into a team and a whole.

England does not have a player with outstanding dribbling and ball control ability, but they play very integrally, and the speed of the offensive advancement is also a highlight on the field.

The reason why the scene is so beautiful and exciting is that the two teams are offensive to each other and can quickly attack the frontcourt. You come and go, which makes the heartbeat of the fans ups and downs.

Brazil relies on individual ability to bring points to face, England relies on the overall rapid advancement, Brazil cannot resist England’s unexpected offensive points and then inserts the corresponding propulsion strategy, England is to take the initiative to retreat the defense zone, dare not push forward too much, otherwise, the opponent will be The scenario of successive breakthroughs is likely to be staged frequently.

"Rivaldo passed Bart again! Fortunately, Southgate robbed at the right time, otherwise let him pass and England's city gates are dangerous! Today's defense in England is broken one-on-one There are many, but they rely on teamwork and joint defense to limit Brazil’s fatal pass or fatal blow in the danger zone. Southgate repeatedly resolves the danger. Beckham and Lampard make up the defense on the waistline. It's also very important."

The one-on-one defense wants to completely limit Brazil. This is a fool's dream. Or, England's defensive players, one-on-one, face the front line of the top team of the national team, basically have no advantage, do not rely on the team's strategic joint defense, defense It was a bruise.

Aldridge took out his notebook and recorded the problems found in the game.

Today Irving was sitting on the bench, he did not use Husky, but instead made Smith start. From the effect point of view, it was almost a wasted starting spot.

Brazil's offense will quickly give the ball to the frontcourt player. Even though Smith tries hard to defend, he can't rush back from the front line to the backcourt?

When attacking, after the speed hit, Smith's ability to attack the front point and threaten the goal is unsatisfactory, or that the huge gap between Owen's running ability caused this phenomenon. All the threatening offensives in England come from the midfield. The upper back or the front of the two front waists.

Although there are some problems in the execution of other tactics, this is a problem that needs to be solved by the players, not a defect that cannot be improved.

In the 36th minute of the first half, England counterattacked, and the Lampard diagonal long pass hit the left side of the Brazilian defense. This is where Carlos assists and cannot go back in time. McManaman specializes when he is transferred from the defense. Run to prepare for this.

He stopped the ball at the sideline and then took the ball to the bottom. When approaching the bottom line to draw the Brazilian back line back deeper, he suddenly passed the ball back, followed by Beckham who came up to stop the ball, one step adjustment, gold right Foot pass.

Why is Beckham's full moon scimitar called stunt unique?

In addition to the high efficiency of locating the goal, another point is that his passing arc is strange.

In many of his passing assists, he can often see an incredible phenomenon.

The ball is clearly close to the goalkeeper. Why didn't the goalkeeper expand the defensive range to rush out and hug the ball or punch it out?

It is because Beckham’s passing arc is very large and fast, especially the visual impact caused by the sudden fall, it is the easiest for the goalkeeper to make a mistake. When he sees the ball’s flight trajectory for the first time, he feels that the ball may be out of bounds Or, it may fall to the back point, but as the arc becomes more and more obvious, and the speed of rotation and fall is extremely fast, the goalkeeper becomes embarrassed, and then rushes out, the timing is wrong, not rushing, the defense becomes more difficult.

This time, it was the same. Beckham’s passing ball seemed to fall into the small penalty area in front of the goalkeeper, but after the ball fell in an arc, the area between the back of the Brazilian central defender and the goalkeeper Going around, the landing point is behind the goal, near the line of the small penalty area.

This kind of ball not only puts the goalkeeper in a dilemma, but also interferes with the defender. The defender felt that it would be the ball held by the goalkeeper for the first time, and the protection consciousness was lax. The ball hit the ball from the volley, and the ball entered the top corner of the Brazilian goal from the near corner.

"Beckham cross, Scholes outscoring shot at the back point, beautiful goal! England 1:0 Brazil, who now doubts that Hall's England lack of wing offense? Lampard long pass landing point On the right, McManaman knocked the ball back to Beckham. He assisted Scholes with a cross pass. This is the familiar English goal mode."

Wembley screamed cheering, and Beckham and Scholes ran on the side of the court with a laugh on their shoulders.

Aldridge got up and applauded the team's goal, then sat back.

He is very happy that the players can understand his tactical arrangement. In his tactics, the midfield and backcourt players need to use their brains to kick the ball and increase the vision of the ball.

In each attack, the only fixed point is Scholes in the middle, so from the back to the forward, the choice of the ball must require the player to consciously observe the frontcourt. Just now Lampard’s backcourt long pass instigated the attack. Reflecting this, McManaman ran to the largest place in the sky. The long pass effect of Lampard was actually just average, forcing McManaman to take the ball at the sideline, it took time. If it can be better, McManaman was able to cut in directly, and later he could only draw the opponent's defense. When Carlos ran back to wrap him, he returned the ball to Beckham.

In the pass of Beckham, McManaman obliquely inserted into the penalty area to grab the front point. Smith was also in the middle of the goal. The two also created a space for Scholes to make a back-point. In the attack of the sports battle, this time the cooperation was very good. Wonderful, every player on the offensive end has played an important role.
