The Young Lion

After winning the World Cup, the announcement of England's new big list caused unlimited reverie on Fleet Street.

Old goalkeeper Seaman unexpectedly retired gloriously, and who will keep England's next goalkeeper?

The three goalkeepers in Aldridge’s new national team roster are James, Robinson, and Green. Among them, 22-year-old Green is regarded as the next generation of competitors. In this generation, England can only get the best goalkeepers. Only James and Green Robinson, who can win the position, the outside world does not dare to make a conclusion.

In addition to the goalkeeper, the other third-line players, Fleet Street is really confused.

The main force to win the World Cup, except for Phil Neville, Bart, McManaman, no one else was called!

Owen, Scholes, Beckham, Lampard, Ashley Cole, Southgate, Ferdinand, 7 main candidates have been unsuccessful.

Obviously, the young coach is to give them more time to rest, not even the national team, to stay at home honestly.

Because of the FIFA match day in September, the England team was in the European Cup qualifiers bye bye to play a friendly match.

Gary Neville and Gerrard are back on the national team roster. It is certainly regrettable for them to miss the World Cup, but they can only lament the bad luck and they were injured before the World Cup.

The upper limit of the contest list is 23 people. At other times, the number of national teams will generally be maintained at around 25-30 people. On the one hand, the selection of materials, on the other hand, let the team form a healthy competition.

This time the national team friendly match is played in the homeland, the selected home field is Anfield.

The day before the players came to report, Aldridge merged with the national team coaching staff's training base in Liverpool. He even came earlier and sent Burt and Earl to their grandmother's house yesterday.

The coaching team of the national team has a new look. Apart from the familiar faces of Audridge and Jenson, the other coaches are not well known.

On a sunny afternoon, Stella Maggioni presented a summary of his opponent's intelligence collection for the European Cup qualifiers to Aldridge.

Turning through the documents in his hand, Aldridge smiled and didn't say anything to Stramagioni.

In fact, England has almost no suspense in the European Cup.

See what opponents are in the same group?

Turkey is the strongest, next, Slovakia, Macedonia, Liechtenstein.

Throughout the qualifiers, as long as the two rounds of the game with Turkey have been played, the top of the group will be guaranteed.

In such a group, is it necessary to deliberately study opponents?

Even if it is really researched, it is enough to focus on Turkey, and to study all the opponents again, it is a big deal.

This is just a way for Aldrich to test Stella Maggioni's work attitude.

Not to mention, this little Italian guy is very serious. Even Liechtenstein, which is ranked 150th in the world, has collected a lot of intelligence information. The player information page is densely written and there are many players.

Compared with the second-rate football national team, the main lineup will not change much in a few years. The third-class Liechtenstein may not be a national team. The player data is the most difficult to do. Why? Because you don’t know where the opponent will find a group of amateur players to play on behalf of the national team. Perhaps after playing the national team game, those players take off their jerseys and work as couriers or sit in the office as white collar workers. They are interested in playing football. Now that the national team is about to play, we will make a guest appearance temporarily. There is no serious professional league in China. The club is between semi-professional and amateur.

It can be seen that Stella Maggioni's opponent investigation report is very detailed.

Except for Stella Maggioni, most of the new recruits in the coaching staff were selected from within England. For them, they were career advancements. They used to work for U21, youth teams and other low-level national echelons.

Aldridge greeted each other after meeting him for the first time, and then handed over other tasks to Jenson to arrange. He wore sportswear and jogged around the court in the training base, and then with the small ball in the training base. Tong playing ball together, it doesn't seem to work at all.

The new coach was shocked and felt that the young coach was a free character. They began to prepare their tasks under the arrangement of Jensen. Each of them performed their own duties. Training was 80% of the work. When these people were arranged, Jensen hesitated After a while, he called Stella Maggioni to walk to Audridge with him.

Aldridge had been sweating, sitting on the turf of the training ground, waving goodbye to the little caddie, and after the other walked away, Jenson and Stella Maggioni came to him.

Jenson sat cross-legged in front of Aldridge, and Stella Maggioni saw that both were sitting on the turf, so she sat down.

Jenson looked at the awkward Aldridge and asked, "When is the business going?"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Don’t pretend that England’s skills and tactics have changed. As you know, as a World Cup champion, England still wants to continue to play in the European Cup with 4321. I am afraid it is difficult to do anything. Don’t underestimate the powers of Europe and learn from experience, Demystified the tactical mystery of England, England still want to shine in the European Cup?"

Aldridge looked up at the blue sky and smiled bitterly: "Yeah, this is the right thing."

Stramagioni rejuvenated and listened to the following carefully with her head upright.

The 4321 formation of the England team that won the World Cup has been listed as a classic tactic by FIFA. The overall technique and tactics are clearly organized. In the new issue of FIFA lecturers, it is listed as a key topic.

It is no exaggeration to say that from the technical and tactical level, the England team is being dismembered by the outside world!

And because of its lack of extraordinary creativity, the limitation of this tactic is that there is not much room for change after the unexpected impact of the opponent.

England’s own creativity will not change dramatically because of winning the World Cup, so changes in technology and tactics are a big problem.

Continue to stick to 4321?

Seems to follow the laws of football: victory does not change!

However, it has its own limitations, plus it will be thoroughly studied by opponents, and then persevere, it will only fall into the embarrassing situation of the struggle of the beast.

Especially with the World Cup champion, the arrogance and arrogance of the Englishman's heart is unlikely to continue to fight the conservative anti-rebellion.

Aldridge's eyes slowly moved down from the sky, fixed on Stramagioni's face, and asked, "What do you think can be changed in England?"

Strama Jonachichi said nothing for a long time.

It's hard for him. It used to be that understanding England was from the perspective of external observations, but it was really not good to speak without internal specific understanding.

Aldrich said: "People are still those people. The skills of some young players will improve in the next two years, but overall, the overall creativity is still not enough to rival the European powers. In other words, if you want to transform the team, you still have to It’s too unrealistic for the team to start by not attempting to have a player who is at the heart of changing everything. Jenson, what advantages do you say about England?"

"Physical fitness, bravery, unity. If detailed to specific players, individual speed advantages, positioning ball ability, long pass, but these are compared with other strong teams, others have it, but they are not superior."

Aldrich nodded and sighed: "Yeah, we have, others have, others are outstanding, we may not have it, so we play a core factor, on the basis of the entire team, we magnify our advantages, we are good at For the foundation, to create a new tactic that meets our survival status. The three points you said are almost the same as I thought. Our players have a large overall running range and good physical fitness. As long as they are reasonably arranged before the competition, they need to be arranged reasonably. This can still reflect this advantage. The large range of activities represents strong mobility, bravery, huh, huh, a bunch of rough brothers. The technical things are indeed incomparable with the European powers. Unity, this is probably because of our technical capabilities It’s not outstanding, so the distribution of ball rights is reasonable, so it seems to be more united than other teams. For talented teams like Argentina, the distribution of ball rights is a big problem, so sometimes it does not look like a whole."

Stella Maggioni looked deep in thought, but Jenson's eyes became brighter and he smiled: "Since it has to change, there is only one choice left."

Aldrich nodded and said: "Gambling a chant, the achievements have been achieved, no success, no way, I think leaving after the World Cup, also because the team's limitations are too large, since staying in this seat, the European Cup There is no ideological burden, just go to the other extreme."

Stella Maggioni was confused, and asked, "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

Jenson Haha said with a smile: "We have worked in Millwall for eight years and have summarized some tactics with obvious styles, which will be used according to the team's situation. One of the tactics is named "group lion" by us. Millwall has been useful, but it has not been used to the extreme, because Millwall’s own creativity is very strong. When you come to England, you can try it. Here, there is a limited creativity, but there are a group of engineers, plus a large range of physical activity, saying It may be able to play to the extreme, and it is completely two extreme tactical systems with the previous 4321."

Stella Maggioni was excited and asked, "What is it like?"

Aldridge whistled and smiled, "Invite us for a drink at night?"

Stramagioni was stunned, but did not expect Aldridge to blackmail so shamelessly.

He nodded and said, "OK, but don't try to fool me!"

Jansen smiled and said: "Do you know Millwall's defensive strategy of oppressing offense?"

"Well, roughly understand that by cutting high opponents and cutting the opponent's offensive formation at the same time, starting from the forward to form the first line of defense, from the front court layer by layer to the midfield back."

"That's just a theory, and Millwall can't use this theory to the extreme because of the player's characteristics, because you can't let Ronaldinho, Henry, Pirlo, defensively, and their defensive ability. It’s also pitiful, so they use the position to cut the opponent’s point-to-point offensive formation in defense and block the pass line. However, in the England formation, there are indeed many defensive players, they will no longer just be It is to cut the opponent's formation by standing, but to crush the midfield of the opponent's three-line formation completely through crazy running and pressing! Sublimation of the cutting is not waiting for the opponent to hesitate and pass the error, but We reshape the game through crazy rushing. This tactic is used to the extreme, which is to use destructive power to form a dominant force! The visual sense will be a group of lions strangling their opponents crazy and destroying them in terrible chaos!"

Stramagioni was dumbfounded.

Is he still playing football?

Destructive power forms dominance?

This idea is subversive to him.

Aldridge didn't say much, just stood up and said lazily: "Come on, surely you won't be stingy and invite us to dinner."

On the way out of the training base, Aldridge looked at the setting sun and suddenly had new expectations for the 2004 European Cup.

In 2004, one of the strongest offensive football representatives, the Czech Republic, reshaped the game to form a dominant force in Greece, born a new tactical concept but stillborn in France, the host of the golden generation.

Aldridge has a new goal, leading the new England and European powers to hunt Portugal!
