The Young Lion

Chapter 598: The most feared opponent

In the fifth round of World Preliminaries Group I, England will be a guest to Albania. At the press conference before departure, Aldridge and his teammate Beckham attended.

This is the first time since Aldridge took over the national team. He and Beckham appeared outside the game at the same time. In the previous press conference, he would either attend alone or bring Southgate.

The two handsome guys appeared with a smile on the scene. The reporters on the scene first took a photo. No matter what, from an entertainment point of view, the most famous player in football today and the most famous coach, the two appeared together, just published photos on the news On the front page, you can get considerable sales.

Since Beckham became famous, he has been packaged not only by a broker, but by a professional team. Therefore, in public, when facing the camera, he often said that he used diplomatic rhetoric, which sounded comfortable but did not. Too much unexpected content, starting from the value of personal image, he must also suppress many personal ideas, and express the universal values.

Just like the reporters asking Beckham on the spot, what Aldridge brought to the England team.

Beckham made a long speech with a smile, saying that Aldridge made the national team a new look, injected fresh vitality, good at communicating with players, trusting the team, and helping the team win.

Basically, from Beckham, there is no surprise.

When the focus shifted to Aldridge, the reporters uninterestedly asked AC Milan to offer Millwall players.

Aldridge raised his hand and made a zipper movement with a smile on his mouth.

On this occasion, it is not suitable to talk about the club. If he is not the head coach of Millwall, it is okay to talk about it. The national team coach is concerned about the situation of the Premier League team. There is no dispute.

Anyway, Millwall and AC Milan cannot at least make a deal this summer. AC Milan will give more money, even if Millwall agrees, Pirlo they are not willing to go back.

This is what Andrew told him in the morning.

AC Milan has hired Trim to take over the team, and how well Trim in Turkey will be mixed in Serie A, no one knows, the Turkish Super League is the European second-tier league after all, AC Milan has a glorious history, it is In the prosperous Milan city, Ketrim not only can't make this sign shine, but will make the top stars deterred.

AC Milan's movements alarmed their neighbors.

Moratti called Aldridge last night: If Millwall sells players interested in AC Milan, let me know!

Moratti obviously wanted to cut the corner. How much did AC Milan cost and Inter Milan could cost two million more? Anyway, AC Milan cannot easily rebuild and revive, especially Millwall's star, who doesn't rush to ask for it?

"England has won two consecutive world preliminaries. If it succeeds in winning the next game, will the probability of England directly advancing to the World Cup be greatly improved?"

Aldrich shook his head and replied: "It doesn't depend on our performance. We lost to Germany before. Now Germany occupy the first place in the group. If they win three of the remaining four games, they can lock the group. First place, we can’t think that far right now. Finland, Germany, have more points than England. Judging from the schedule, if we can win three games in four games, at least we can lock in the qualification for the playoffs, but this Obviously it is not the result that England wants. Play one by one. The football world is most taboo."

After leaving the scene at the end of the press conference, Aldridge walked side by side with Beckham.

"Coach, haven't you thought about leading the team to the World Cup?"

Beckham asked.

Aldrich replied: "As I said, you only need to focus on playing every game."

"Of course, we will play every game well, but we are now more eager to play against the German team and lose to Germany at Wembley. We are not reconciled."

"What if you are not reconciled? If you want to win, you need to set your mind straight, sum up your experience from failure, and improve yourself."

Beckham suddenly shook his head and said: "What you said makes sense, but it is not convincing to put on you."

Aldridge looked at Beckham inexplicably, only to see him smile bitterly: "Because you always win, there are very few failures, where do you sum up the experience of failure?"

Suddenly, Beckham's unintentional words made Aldridge deep in thought.

It sounds reasonable for Beckham.

Yeah, he has fewer failures. Where can he sum up his experience to achieve success?

Thinking as he walked, Aldridge shook his head as he quickly got into the magic.

I felt like I was over-pointed.

When Guardiola took over Barcelona, ​​what was the failure experience? Not so much, the glory lasted for several years, and the coaching career can be described as one step!

Aldridge has a good card and works hard. Why can't he make a record? Why is it necessary to listen to the teachings in front of the "success" mother "failure" in order to fly Huang Tengda?

There has never been a set of successful models in the football world. Do it step by step and achieve the goal naturally. In that case, football is simple.

In this battle for Albania, Aldrich fulfilled his previous commitment, giving the main players a break time and taking them to go. That is definitely going to be placed on the bench list as a back-up in case of unexpected needs.

Substitutes are thrilled by the opportunity and want to show some performance. According to the current situation of the England national team, the probability of substituting for substitutes is extremely low.

Albania Mo said that the group assigned to Germany and England could not get the World Cup qualifying rights. Even if they were assigned to any other group, they were basically playing the role of studying with the prince, and their national football level itself was weak, and domestic fans admired the top European The star of the team is the norm. As England is a guest, Albanian fans are very excited. They want to watch the star perform.

Even Aldridge didn't expect that when he walked into the stadium, many Albanian fans in the stands welcomed him with a slogan.

The young master is well-known, and there are fans here too.

Aldridge went to the coach seat and sat down, watching the players on both sides calmly.

Albania has not changed much. After all, it is a weak football country. The strongest lineup is also limited. It is put into the Premier League and even the midstream team cannot be squeezed into it.

England has changed a lot.

Goalkeeper: James.

Defenders: Phil Neville, Campbell, Brown, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: Gerald, Bart, Lampard, Joe Cole, McManaman.

Forward: Husky.

Compared with the previous starter, only Ashley Cole, Lampard and McManaman continued to start.

The three of them are either energetic or not the absolute main force in the club. The accumulated physical energy for most of the season is completely enough to deal with consecutive national team games.

The other big names are all on the bench, and the captain's armband is worn on McManaman's arm. On the seniority, he is definitely qualified.

Today is the first game of both Germans starting at the same time. Aldridge hopes to see the effect. After all, it is a dish abuse. As long as there are no major problems, these players are strong enough to crush their opponents.

Albania fought at home, but contracted back from the start of the game and put out an iron bucket array.

If the strength is bad, this is the only way.

England played an offensive and decisive battle, the team's short board is glanced at a glance.

Lack of players who can control the ball, only McManaman and Joe Cole can hold the ball in the dense area of ​​the frontcourt, making breakthrough attempts to gain something, other players dwarfed.

Aldridge looked at it for fifteen minutes and shook his head with a long sigh.

"I was wondering why you didn't consider the use of Lampard and Gerrard at the same time. Today, the two of them were in the midfield at the same time, and they couldn't play a good effect."

Klinsmann clearly understood the meaning from Aldridge's sigh.

Aldridge did not answer, and there was nothing to say.

Lampard, Gerrard, the characteristics are too similar, although Aldrich has clearly defined the responsibilities in the offensive routine, there is rarely a regional conflict between the two, and a reasonable division of labor can be achieved between one attack and one defense, but the two The technical characteristics are similar and there are not many changes to the offense.

Beckham can pull the edge up, depending on the situation, he is close to the middle, and he has a huge threat in the side pass. Gerald and Lampard can also pull the edge up, but the threats they can make are not good enough.

In the 20th minute of the game, Aldridge stood up, England had less offensive means, Joe Cole was still young, and was suppressed in the area of ​​the front waist that would be surrounded by all directions. He did not have Scholes. The consciousness to break the door in the forefront of the forbidden area is no, not not, he has an inward consciousness to play the sideline at Millwall, but he can insert forward at the front waist position, and the timing cannot be grasped properly.

Aldridge took the opportunity of a corner kick from the frontcourt to shout loudly and called Gerald to the front, so that Gerald did not need to participate in this corner attack and arranged for him a new task on the sidelines.

First of all, let Gerald tell Joe Cole to let him go to the side, McManaman hit the other side, the midfielder is handed over to Lampard and Gerrard, and there is Bart protection behind.

Secondly, Gerald's position premise, the starting position is changed to midfielder, once Lampard comes up from the back, Gerald will move forward. What is the limit of movement? In front of the opponent's goal!

Gerard nodded carefully after listening to Aldridge's adjustments, ran to the frontcourt to talk to Joe Cole, and then continued the game according to Aldridge's changes.

Aldridge went back to his seat and sat down.

"This is the most difficult situation facing our tactical system?"

Klinsmann asked thoughtfully.

Aldridge nodded and sighed: "So I think that the best way to look at the top international teams and perhaps the most restrained in England is Italy."

Once they encounter a team that does not have the desire to take the initiative to attack or is completely based on defensive counterattack, the tactical system of England is completely invalid. They need to launch a counterattack to play the highest threat. However, if the opponent does not advance, how can there be a counterattack? Opportunities?

The last time Albania was defeated in Wembley by England, it was defeated by the method of pulling the snake out of the hole. 6-0 was remembered by the bloodbath. They learned well today and they stubbornly refused to move forward. The formation naturally did not spread out.

Unlike Albania, which is limited in strength and not attacking, when Italy’s chain defense is impeccable from the region to the mark-to-man defense, it is also difficult for England to fight the opponent’s counterattack. Perhaps it is not without chance, but it is absolutely It is much less than the chances of playing a team that is aggressive and aggressive. It is a great opportunity.

The reason for the rest of the main round of this round, in addition to the physical strength at the end of the season, also studied the game with the coaching staff, I feel that this game with Albania is pitifully less relevant in exercise value, they are not afraid of overtaking with the strong team, lose, and can accumulate experience, Improve the shortcomings, win, and build confidence, but playing with this shrinking defense team, the tough battle sometimes depends on luck, tactical training value is not great.
