Chapter 1026: Will you cooperate?

The England team is always strong in the midfield, especially since the national team lineup has not changed much in recent years. The national team games are basically the same main lineup. Everyone cooperates very well.
Portugal's pressure is not excessive, but it is not as fast as the England team's forward explosion in the speed of defense.
In the 7th minute of the game, Hargreaves grabbed the ball from Deco's feet, quickly launched a counterattack, and gave the ball to Beckham, who was running forward.
Ronaldo's side, Beckham didn't pull it. Beckham protected the inside line in front of the penalty area in a parallel position, so Beckham ran forward. If Ronaldo chased back, the distance was farther away, but if Ronaldo wanted to cut inward If so, Beckham can block him.
Beckham drew the ball forward and encountered Maniche’s upswing. He quickly distributed the ball to Scholes, who followed up. Then Beckham stopped and stopped stepping forward. How to fight back, they closed their eyes. all know.
Beckham's lack of advancement was to stabilize the defense, and it was Lampard who rushed up the other side.
Lampard moved forward quickly, almost parallel to Scholes' position with the ball forward.
Scholes passed the ball diagonally to the front right in front of Costinha. Gerrard got the ball on the right in front of the penalty area and took a step and crossed!
Costinha turned around and saw the ball rolling in front of him. Lampard pressed the middle of the penalty area from beside him. While touching the ball, Carvalho and Andrade came up one after the other. Rooney ran diagonally through the two centre-backs and Lampard's straight stop came as scheduled.
Carvalho raised his hand to signal Rooney's offside, but the lineman said nothing.
After Rooney was behind Andrade, Valent got the ball by his side and defended the ball firmly against the goal through physical confrontation, which can be regarded as a single-handed ball!
All England fans are ready to cheer, but Rooney kicks the ball on the side net!
It looks as if it has been scored, but everyone will react in the next second, and the ball is not scored!
Rooney is obviously irritable, even if Adrich is far away, he can see that the chance of a single-shot ball is very few. The striker will vigorously blast the door, calmly choose to push the angle or volley moderately. However, the ball shot by Rooney is powerful, not impossible. The effect of a confident striker is to make the goalkeeper desperate, but the deviation from the goal occurs, only to say that he is not calm enough.
"The England team missed a great opportunity! Wayne Rooney wasted a good pass from Lampard! Portugal has to be careful. Today the England team obviously wants to defeat them with a defensive counterattack. Of course, as the game develops, Sir Hall will adjust England's tactics."
Rooney was so angry after missing this opportunity that he wanted to score.
As long as he scores another goal, he will tie Barrosh's goal numbers, while ranking first in the scorer list by scoring efficiency.
Portugal escaped, Scolari wanted Portugal to be more conservative, but this is not the technical and tactical style that Portugal is good at. At the same time, due to local combat, the high fighting spirit of the players will affect them to shape the game situation. In other words, in front of his father and father in his hometown, Portugal was reluctant to take it back as England did, and was passively beaten and waiting for a sneak attack.
Aldridge stood calmly on the sidelines, calmly making him feel like he was in the chest.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the two opponents faced by the England playoffs were too crucial.
They faced both the extreme defense of Greece and the Czech team where the offensive points are everywhere.
Two opponents with extreme styles, they both met and defeated their opponents, which is not only important for the team's confidence, but also the team's reading ability in the game has been further improved!
Portugal is better defended than Greece and attacked better than Czech.
They do not have the offensive points that bloom like the Czech team, and the cooperation is smooth and tacit, especially the team cooperation, the team coordination makes the ball transfer fast, the game rhythm is fast, Cristiano Ronaldo and Figo of Portugal, the dribbling speed is fast, too fast to upload the ball ? Although individual breakthroughs are sometimes more efficient than the team's pass, the England team has compressed the space in the danger zone and curbed the opponent's advantage in this regard.
In a final word, Portugal lacks a hidden offensive point, who should be guarded, who is staring to death, at a glance!
Although England has so few familiar faces to fight back, but they have the space to pass, which is the natural advantage of the attack.
Portugal passed to the penalty area to find opportunities. Neither Pauletta playing center nor C Ronaldo who entered the penalty area failed to create a threat under the close attention of the England team. They played long shots in the periphery or were blocked Out, or deviate from the goal, unless there is a world wave, otherwise it is more difficult to threaten the goal of the England team.
Aldridge's mentality is stable, his opponent is not Scolari, just God.
If God made Portugal kick a world wave and changed the game, then he has nothing to say.
As far as Scolari’s platoon formation is concerned, Aldridge doesn’t think there is a change that can disrupt his deployment and thinking, even if Rui Costa really plays, or Portugal weakens the midfielder. A striker to activate Pauletta, Aldridge will be at a loss at best, but he will not be surprised, because what the opponent can do, has been conceived in his preparation.
The England team's counterattack is very threatening. It can quickly and smoothly attack the Portuguese half and create an opportunity before the penalty area.
However, Rooney's play is not ideal.
"Carvalho stole the ball successfully! Rooney failed to pass the ball over Carvalho. Beckham ran back and reached out to signal that Rooney should just pass him the ball."
Aldridge tried to give Rooney a gesture to make him pay more attention to cooperate with his surrounding teammates. In fact, the England team's anti-reverse, after hitting the forefront, once the opponent's defense is torn open, the more threatening thing is to follow up after two points. The players on the team, Scholes, Lampard, Beckham, Gerrard, are all more threatening than Rooney, and it is only reasonable for the arrow forward to complete the shot when it is approximately single-handed.
Rooney did not look at Aldridge. Even if Aldridge shouted a few words, he still could not get any response.
Aldridge did not continue to try, hoping that Rooney could adjust itself.
Throughout the first half, Portugal did not play an offensive attack that surprised Aldridge. He couldn't get in the penalty area. He shot long from outside and was inefficient in passing. Only corner kicks and free kicks might make people feel slightly trembling.
Portugal is not good at breaking through intensive defense. On the one hand, it is due to its strength. On the other hand, it is also related to the opponents they encountered. The group match is planted at the foot of Greece. The second game is against Russia. Since Russia must attack to score in order to qualify, Russia is on the scene. It is meaningless to learn the ultimate defense of Greece. In the last game, Spain itself was one of the representatives of the offensive football, playing Croatia in the knockout, and later playing the Netherlands, opponents encountered in Portugal will give them a certain amount of offensive space, especially individuals The only room to play was Greece, and then it was planted.
Although the England team does not use a 5 defender like Greece, their overall strength is stronger. The defensive strength of the entire back line and the lower back is higher than that of the Greek team. The offensive is also stronger than Greece. If not the same The tactics are not yet comparable, but England won the World Cup by counterattack. The counterattack threat is very intuitive.
The outside world described this as a pinnacle battle, after all, it was the final.
But in the eyes of Aldrich, this is not the two strongest teams have reached the final battlefield.
Just as in Japan two years ago, the England team luckily defeated the strongest Brazil team. It was Germany that met with them in the final. The England team won not be easy, but it was not difficult.
The situation today is similar.
Greece, which has the strongest anti-countermeasures, and the Czech Republic, which has the strongest offensive, have been eliminated by the England team. Portugal, which has not highlighted the strong side, has not caused much trouble for the England team.
But the first half was still 0:0.
As he walked into the player's tunnel, Aldridge's face was not pretty.
The England team has a solid defense and a smooth offense, but only after the attack has advanced to the forefront, everything becomes very bad.
After Rooney missed the golden opportunity, the ball lost its changing color under his feet.
When he had a chance, he shot. Without a chance, he broke through. In the last 10 minutes, Carvalho and Andrade, in case he was a piece of cake, didn't waste any effort.
On the way back to the dressing room, Beckham was communicating with Rooney. Rooney just nodded and did not speak.
Fleet Street sometimes "provokes".
After Rooney scored twice in the second game, there was a media cover of Beckham's celebration with Rooney as the cover, saying that Beckham was jealous and Rooney was jealous!
It seems that Rooney snatched Beckham's "England darling" position.
For pure football, Beckham may not be perfect, but in this regard, Aldridge can pack tickets, jealous or something, will not appear on Beckham, because his role on the court is to make a wedding dress for others If he is jealous, why would he go to Real Madrid? Doesn't that make him more uncomfortable?
Beckham is not a striker, but he has also played for more than ten years. Under Aldridge, he has been in this national team for nearly four years. What kind of attack does the team need to play and what kind of routine should the offense change? , But everyone who has a little quotient knows.
Beckham is trying to make Rooney calmly deal with the ball, vaguely telling him not to squander the team's hard-won opportunities.
Beckham's words may be very tactful.
However, Aldridge was less polite.
Closing the locker room door, Aldridge walked straight to Rooney. In silence, Aldridge looked down at Rooney. When he raised his head, Aldridge said coldly, "You will cooperate with your teammates." Answer me."
Rooney dared not to look directly at Aldridge's eyes and nodded.
"Look at my eyes and tell me aloud."
Rooney raised his head again, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "Boss, I will!"
His tone was a little irritable, and it seemed that Aldridge made him lose face now.
After all, the teammates around were watching him.
"Very good, I hope to see you perform better in the second half."
