Chapter 738: Arrogant

On FIFA match day, the news focused on the national team, and the world's "strong team" England was naturally the subject of follow-up reports on Fleet Street.
When a reporter discovered that England's training did not proceed as usual, some players went back to the hotel, and some players stayed at the training base. This time, the paparazzi got busy and dug into the reasons behind it.
In this short period of time, there are not many news materials, because there are 20 top league teams and 10 leagues in the league. There are many materials that can write news. On FIFA game day, everyone only stares at the national team. The material naturally becomes less.
As a result, the national team will be caught on Fleet Street and hyped up a little bit.
"Hall defies Finland!"
"England ranks! Beckham, Southgate and others have special treatment!"
"Does Hall know exactly what the World Cup is?"
...
Most tabloids use eye-catching headlines to attract readers in order to earn eyeballs, which is not the case for the more rigorous tabloids, because doing so will hurt their relationship with Audridge, but under the trend, the headlines will converge In other ways, some kind of warning or suggestion was used to report the matter, and some famous places in England also stood up to "teach experience".
How to face the World Cup?
What kind of attitude is best before the World Cup?
This was the national team's normal arrangement for the players to take a reasonable rest, but it was full of storms. It can be seen that Fleet Street, the hype ability of this European News Center.
The reporter who really writes must know the truth, but it is written to let the consumer pay the bill.
Aldrich didn't care. Such a sloping wind and evil spirits had become orthodox. One day, Fleet Street wouldn't do that anymore, then the sun would definitely come out from the west.
Two days later, Aldridge led his team against Finland at the St. James Park Stadium.
His platoon formation really responded to some tabloid speculation: underestimate the enemy.
Except for Southgate, the big players are basically sitting on the bench.
And the formation has also changed to 442.
Double Germany started at the same time, Aldridge let Lampard go to the midfield, Gerrard hit the midfielder, using Joe Cole and Alan Smith on the front line, just want to experiment with the new tactics of "back midfielder".
After all, there are too many engineering players in England, and while sitting at home, the opponent Finland will certainly not take the initiative to attack the positional battle at a glance, Aldridge can only take orders, that is not his current style.
The Finnish team missed the World Cup and were full of resentment. After all, in the world preliminaries, they once occupied the second place in the standings and had the opportunity to grab a play-off spot. In their view, if it is not Aldridge taking over the England national team, then they do not Will be squeezed to the third place.
When they came to the UK this time, they knew they were invited to be a sparring partner, which aroused their desire to win.
But desire alone is not enough, and it must be calm. Therefore, they firmly implement anti-anti-tactics on the field, regardless of the attitude of the opponent.
Bayern Munich lost 2:4 to Millwall at home after the game became the focus. Many experts have repeatedly emphasized in the technical and tactical reviews that Bayern Munich had hopes of winning, but they were confused by the changes of their opponents. In other words, it is because of the change of the opponent that he also made the change, which fell off and planted the seeds of the defeat.
With this lesson in mind, the Finnish team has a high degree of unity of thinking from top to bottom, and it is anti-reverse. The English team has the ability to draw at home.
While the game is in progress, Aldridge has been sitting on the coach's bench, watching the game and discussing with colleagues.
"Why not use Bart and Hargreaves to form a double back?"
"Because I think that this World Cup should be Bart's last national team performance. After the World Cup, Hargreaves has the ability to replace him. He can be better and better than him, and Bart is at Manchester United..."
Although Aldridge’s contract with the FA will end this summer, he believes that Bart should have no place in the next national team cycle. He still uses him and is giving him the main force. The reason is very simple. The strength is close to the current Hargreaves, but the experience is more abundant than Hargreaves. At the same time, it is also a contact with Manchester. The tacit understanding with Manchester United players on the court is not comparable to Hargreaves. Moreover, he works very hard. Treating this World Cup, his mentality is the same as that of McManaman, and his career, the hardest and the hardest, is this summer! And Hargreaves cannot compare with Bart in terms of mentality, experience, and inner motivation. After all, he is young and will not think that this World Cup is his end.
No matter how the fans who have just met Hargreaves ten years later define him, the Glassman or the ungrateful, at least the Hargreaves before 2008, the career trajectory has soared, Bayern Munich's main force, The main force of Manchester United, the main force of the England national team, such a high degree proves his strength. If it is not an injury, why is Manchester United worried about his waist after ten years?
"This offense...it's really unbelievable."
Klinsmann frowned.
The offensive in England is chaotic, simple and inefficient!
Aldrich nodded and said, "It seems that I still think too simple. If I want to prepare a second set of techniques and tactics, I have no time to do so. I can only improve on the basis of 4321."
Lampard, Joe Cole, Alan Smith, these three are at the forefront of the offense. In the case of trapped defenses, they have nothing to do, and the role of the front waist cannot be played because of the lack of On the wing, the midfielder Gerrard defends very hard and has a wide range of defense. However, Barry, the partner, is always a slow shot in the defense. I don’t know whether it is related to his playing as a defender in the club.
If you let the side defense directly make the full back the first line and the last line of defense, this is extremely dangerous. Especially the positional battle of the England team is not as oppressive as Milwall’s. That kind of oppressive attack, with the threat of a winger, forces the opponent's full-back and full-back to have to attack back and forth, which is the effect of attacking instead of defending.
But in the England national team, such an effect can not be played, in turn, the opponent’s counterattack, the starting position of the wing player is more forward, then if the midfielder’s assist wing is slow, it will make the full-back In a very awkward situation, it is especially easy to be penetrated by 2 over 1 cooperation.
Aldrich’s previous ideas were still slightly naive, perhaps arrogant.
Just like Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, 4321 can win. With 4321, if you can't, you can change to another set of techniques and tactics.
He has dared to make such a bold attempt in self-signaling for a long time, but has made a low-level mistake.
A set of technical and tactical experiments, running in, shaping, and maturity, takes a very long time.
Moreover, it is difficult to say that a team can use both sets of tactics.
Attacking with left hand and defending with right hand, which one do you want to use?
I think so, but reality is simply impossible, and other head coaches can't do it. Aldridge can only do it if he can, and reality teaches him to be a man again!
Like the England team, after 4321 is hone and matured, and then switch back to 442, they feel awkward to use by themselves. One person may be okay, but it is necessary to let the entire team of 11 people enter the same rhythm and exert their ideal power, unless There are 11 world-class players on the field, so there is no need to struggle with any formations or tactics.
To rebuild a set of techniques and tactics, you must replace the previous tactical system. It is impossible to say that the previous set is proficient, and now add another set.
Aldrich made a self-denial. Fortunately, it is only the idea of ​​killing the self-destructing Great Wall in the budding period. Even if you have to start, you can only seek change on the basis of 4321. The foundation of this large framework cannot be easily changed.
Just as Aldrich's thoughts flew, the Finnish team scored a goal. After a counterattack, Litmanen settled the ball and broke the goal guarded by James. The Finnish team led 1-0 away!
The Finnish team celebrated passionately at the St. James Park Stadium, like the anger of being out in the cathartic preliminaries and being able to lead the England team at home, which made their catharsis find the right enemy.
Aldridge stood up and walked to the sidelines, waved towards the players on the court, let the team retreat back, the offense was messy and disorderly, but exposed the defensive problems, this is a typical transformation failure, the offense is not threatening, defensive Instability, the two great weapons on the court, the England team today is not the same.
On the other hand, the Finnish team firmly defended against the counterattack. On the basis of the success of the defense, it broke the England team's door. This is also a typical example, as the commentator said depressedly: "This lost ball should sound the alarm for the England team! "
To be precise, Aldridge was awakened.
In the final analysis, the pursuit on the football field is nothing more than two kinds, either offensive and invincible. This is a good understanding. I scored one more goal than you and I took away the victory. Either the defense is solid, and this is developed on the basis of the former. My attacking power is not as good as you. Then I can only restrict you. On the basis of the success of the defense, I find the way to victory. Defensive victory is also common. For example, the Italians are on the chain. The defensive esteem, that desperate 1:0, has broken down the spirit of how many coaches who pursued offense?
Aldridge's original thinking was clear. The England team can't play an unstoppable offense, so they can only pursue the second kind. Why is the 442 enduring? But it is difficult to carry forward on the originator of the England team? Because 442 is too balanced, and balanced, it becomes mediocre.
4321 is to find victory on the basis of defense. Now Audridge tries to subvert this point. He is arrogant and punished. Now, he takes the initiative to correct this.
But for a while, he couldn’t let the team change his mind uniformly on the sidelines. He could only let the team slow down the rhythm, don’t rush to attack, that is, don’t give opponents a good chance to fight back. In this way, when the half break, He made further adjustments.
At halftime, the score did not change and the England team trailed 0:1.
Aldridge rearranged his tactics in the locker room. The four guards remained unchanged, and he changed back to the three-waist. Others did not require much. The tactical routine changed back to the usual one.
In this way, the second half of the game became very boring, Finland led, England also based on defense, no risky offense, on the scene, the two teams saw back and forth in the midfield to compete for the ball, no one can attack, 25 minutes in the second half , The number of shots added by both sides is: 0!
Later, it turned into long-range and positioning luck in Bo.
Aldridge really has a headache now.
The current scene is the most painful situation for the England team. The opponent does not take the initiative to attack, and the score is behind. The tactics themselves are threatened by counterattacks. However, without the opportunity to counterattacks, the threat will naturally not come out.
Live shots frequently locked Aldridge, and Klinsmann, Jenson, and the coaching staff members' expressions were roughly the same, frowning and clouded.
A friendly match doesn't matter, but if England gets behind in the World Cup, how to play?
On the basis of unwavering 4321 tactical foundation, how can this extreme defensive counterattack formation change?
After all, England still has too few talented players. If there can be another skilled player who is good at dribbling, or a master organizer, Aldridge and his colleagues will not be worried about their hair, but England No such player...
