Chapter 997: Shock debut!

The three-lion legion under Aldrich has always been known as a "passionate group of lions". Even if they were anti-counterfeit before the end of the World Cup, they also invested a lot of troops in the counterattack. The scene of running and sprinting is extremely shocking.
After the World Cup, the tactics of crazy encirclement in the frontcourt were changed, as if to abrupt the spirit of the Three Lions, fighting, tenacious, and brave!
When Beckham took the ball through the half, the situation of the offensive and defensive comparison between England and France began to become clear.
The England team has 5 players.
Irving, Gerrard, Beckham, Lampard, Scholes.
The French team also has 5 players on defense.
Vieira, Makelele, Sylvester, Thuram, Galas.
The England team has room to move forward, and from the point of view of the offensive advancement, it is where the opponent's defense is slightly weaker.
Lizarazu is not in the left back position, England's Beckham is rushing forward along the wing.
This first requires the French team to move the defensive formation smoothly from the other side to the side of England's main attack.
However, during the move, the space will become larger!
Because the movement between players will not be synchronized in the absolute sense!
If you add a single player defense to actively move, the space will become larger.
For example, at this time, Vieira did not dare to allow Beckham to set the bottom smoothly. In this way, the French team's defense will be withdrawn. Beckham's cross-ball threat is huge. At the same time, the defense line is withdrawn and the penalty area is empty. !
So he moved laterally to block Beckham. Beckham did not wait for Vieira to pass the ball close, and Scholes, who was following, took the ball and continued to move forward.
The England team is almost an engineering midfielder.
However, the midfield of engineers does not mean that there is really no talent.
For example, midfielders such as Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard, they are threatened after inserting them, why?
Plugging in is not as simple as running up!
The insertion of a huge threat means that the player has a strong sense of consciousness to catch the air.
Perhaps their ability to handle the ball in a small area is not delicate and refined. However, there is a lot of such excellent players in the England team when it comes to capturing the free time and inserting the offensive ability.
Scholes is, Lampard is, Gerald, too!
When Scholes took the ball forward, Vieira immediately went back to defend Scholes. The latter quickly passed the ball back to the right, Beckham's front!
Vieira knew she couldn't stop the opponent's forward offensive.
Beckham brought the ball to the side of the line that was parallel to the line of the big penalty area.
The timing of his kicking was very good. At the moment when Sylvester tried to block him, the defensive distance between Silvester and Thuram's central defender in the penalty area expanded.
Beckham's passing ball is in this area!
Irving, who is rushing to the front, is running behind the goal. He is a player with an excellent position awareness, otherwise he cannot become a top pure shooter, and his movement is not only a response at a distance, but also attractive. Thuram moves defensively to create an unprecedented role for teammates.
Gerald is fiercely killed!
When Sylvester turned and looked back, he suddenly saw Gerald leaping high, a standard head-shake posture that pushed the ball towards the goal!
The ball flew to the middle of the goal and the lower right direction. Gerrard was fully prepared. The header pressed the ball down and refracted obviously.
Although the goalkeeper Bartz is in a good position, but the distance is close, the ball is pushed down very well, and the speed is not slow. He hurriedly laid his hands to the right to block the ball.
However, he did not hold the ball!
The butterman goalkeeper who was abandoned by Manchester United seemed to block the ball, the ball was rebounded by the unloading force, and was still in the small penalty area and in front of the goal midway!
At the beginning of the run, Irving judged that the landing point will not be at the moment when the ball flew out. He stopped and then prepared for a supplementary shot when Gerrard headered the goal. This is the top. Sagittarius awareness!
Thuram never thought that the ball would bounce in the small penalty area, but was blocked by his own goalkeeper. He blocked Owen behind him with his sense of experience and was ready to make a siege. However, Owen was faster than him. Owen reluctantly even with this 32-year-old The still tough tough guy is fighting against the body, grabbing the position, and pressing down on the center of gravity of the body, grabbing shots in a way similar to a shovel!
He is half a step faster than Thuram!
The ball was shot by him and flew into the bottom right corner of the goal!
Irving quickly got up and ran to celebrate, Gerald followed with a look of joy, the Bright Stadium in Lisbon, the Three Lions shocked and announced that they participated in the of the European Cup!
"Owen set the first record for the England team! The French team's defense performance was too bad, Lizarazu's assists could not go back and forth, the goalkeeper Bartez let go, no wonder the French media thought Bartez should sit on the bench! He was abandoned by Manchester United It’s not without reason. Such a scenario has appeared many times. Now, this lost goal is likely to cause his status as the main goalkeeper in the French team! The England team has improved its overall mobility and defense than two years ago. Hardness, and the players appear confident and calm on the field. They are not anxious. They seem to be confident. Offensive and defensive are very purposeful. Sometimes they look messy, but in fact they know how to play. Everything is in order!"
Santini almost shouted, the development process of this ball is indeed very dangerous, but Gerard is not a positive Indian striker after all, the threat of heading is there, the angle is not absolutely tricky, this ball, at least 30% of the responsibility is on For Bartz, if he holds the ball, or handles it better, instead of the goalkeeper taboo the ball in the penalty area, and it is in the middle! Then this ball should not be dropped!
Perhaps because the goalkeeper was particularly conspicuous, Santini did not think about the relevance of England's offensive.
No matter how much Aldridge is, he nodded on the sidelines, Gerald's efforts in his eyes, especially in the implementation of tactics, Gerrard performed perfectly.
With his ability, he can withdraw deeper defense and play with his subjective consciousness. Just now he may miss the header and just wait for his teammate to pass the ball outside the penalty area, but Aldridge let him To play a shadow striker, when he needs to advance into the penalty area, he must do it, and he did it!
The main idea of ​​using Gerrard's offensive ability is also his ability to catch the empty plug.
The England team took the lead to break the goal. Aldridge did not allow the team to close back, but waved to let the team speed up the rhythm more, and the counter-attack force in the frontcourt was increased!
The Three Lions are more powerful. The French team is behind to counterattack, and will take the initiative to speed up the game. However, they still have not solved how the offense of the midfield should run smoothly.
In particular, the England team is crazy to fight back, and they will not give them too much time to observe, think, and judge!
Fast-paced games, tacit understanding of the team, a team's system operation is a higher test.
In theory, the French team can achieve balance. Putting players in each role as a textbook is not balanced?
Unfortunately, Santini is not Aldridge.
He has no highest authority in the French team!
Aldridge asked Gerrard to go to the wing. Gerrard didn't complain, he just said a word.
"Coach, what should I do?"
If Santini said to Zidane: "Don't retreat, the midfield and backcourt organization is handed over to Vieira, and you are waiting for the frontcourt organization in the front waist area."
Will Zidane listen to him?
Or Santini let Henry go to the winger, don't play the center, Henry will listen to him?
Santini drummed up an asymmetrical 442 formation, he may think that his vision is perfect, but when confronted with England’s fierce anti-robbing and strict defense system, their midfield and frontcourt are completely fragmented. The unbalanced frontline formation is completely dismembered!
Or it can be compared in this way. The French team two years later, although Zidane still attacked left, but at least the front court system is balanced, Malouda, Ribery, Henry, two sides, center position , This is at least a roughly fixed routine.
And today?
The French team wants to make an unstoppable attack on the left, which must rely on conscious cooperation.
Lizarazu, Zidane, Henry, and any two of them can cooperate on the left and may all play a threatening offensive. However, this kind of cooperation based on player awareness, especially the cooperation between the two may be very good, three people There will be an absolute conflict!
Completely lucky!
Moreover, Lizarazu’s defensive problems have also been exposed. That is to say, Henry does not play as a winger. The French team wants to make an article on the left. That can only be done by Zidane alone!
The problem faced by Henry is that he can pull the side, but if the team does not use the front midfield space enough, if the front midfield area is not contained, England’s defensive center of gravity will move to the side at the same time, then the French team will be completely sidelined. The offense is in a desperate situation. In itself, the sideline is a defensive line.
Therefore, although the French team also has a history of contradictions in the locker room, today, what is happening to them is that the players have more and more contradictions in the tactical system, not to mention the solitary pire of the cold on the right.
After losing the ball, the French team made a counterattack. At this time, Santini carefully observed the team's attack today, and his face became more dignified.
Zidane is actually similar to Pirlo, Harvey, and other core organizations. He must have a strong defensive midfielder behind him. At the same time, when he is in a dangerous situation, he will be rescued, and the offense will be activated to liberate Zidane. .
The concept of the French team is also the same, but this system has been used for a long time. Winning the World Cup 6 years ago is already a strategy for double-waist protection. Six years later, it is still the same. The opponent must have in the targeted restriction arrangement. Prepared.
This is the case in England. Restricting Zidane mainly restricts his space, not grabbing his ball. It is well known in the world that the purpose of restricting space is to block Zidane's contact with his teammates.
In this dilemma, Vieira or Makelele stepped forward to continue to promote the development of the offense, and then wait for Zidane to run, and the offense can be rejuvenated.
However, the England team restricted the opponent's midfield to a significant number of people today!
Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard, Beckham, these four people alone, not counting Hargreaves who is in front of the cutting position, Zidane wants to make a short distance in the midfield. It was really difficult for Vieira or Makelele to make an offensive push. If the score went to the side, Gallas had an average assist ability. The situation changed completely after Lizarazu went up and down. The England team was 35 yards in front of the goal. Before the line, Lizarazu was not intercepted at all, but Lizarazu was blocked from his teammates.
Santini looked more and more bottomless on the sidelines. He vaguely felt that the French team seemed to be caught in the trap of England!
The England team is always forcing the French team to reveal their fate!
