Chapter 806: World Cup roster

Suddenly a spring breeze came, football became the most popular topic on the planet recently, the World Cup is in sight, global attention, street tabloids, TV news, all related to football, the legendary Millwall legendary seven crown king has become history, The journey of the England national team to the East has become the hottest topic in the country.
On the occasion of Aldridge’s 26th birthday, the fans are calculating how many honors the young coach has received in the past eight years, how many dream achievements they have achieved, and how many legendary coaches have caught up with the achievements of the legendary coaches in England. In his heart, this young marshal is omnipotent, descended from mythology, and is the long-awaited savior of England, but the English national team cast a shadow on the eve of the expedition, even the most optimistic people cannot There are higher expectations for England, it seems that God is making trouble for England!
"Can David Beckham catch up with the World Cup?"
"Gary Neville is sure to miss the World Cup! Who can top the right back of England?"
"Steve Gerrard's old injury has recurred, and the Liverpool medical team has been blamed! England has lost another general!"
"1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses! The England national team has only one win in 5 warm-up matches this year. How to conquer the world?
...
Around the England national team, a series of negative news poured out, the confidence of the people was almost hit to the freezing point, and the clever women could not cook without rice. Everyone knows this. The lack of generals and the poor state of the country, why the England national team went to Asia good grade?
Today is the day to submit the final list of the participating teams to the Korea-Japan World Cup Organizing Committee.
In the morning, Ewen called at home, and Burt and Earl played football in the backyard. The two children forgot to turn off the TV in the living room in the morning. At this time, a new episode of the program was still playing on the TV. The BBC sorted out A set of highlights of Millwall's performance last season is playing at the end, which is Audric's post-match interview speech after winning the Champions League.
"Yes, we encountered difficulties in the game. Millwall took it lightly and almost gave Manchester United a chance to reverse the situation. I will not ignore the specific problems because of the victory. Millwall must improve this, but this job , Will focus on next season, about Pirlo, Gattuso and other players to go and stay, it is not suitable to talk about this topic, you said they are already selling houses in London, maybe they want to change to a new house, hehe..."
Upstairs in the bedroom, Ewen stood in front of the window, looking down at the two boys playing football in the backyard, and said to the phone: "Thank you for your kindness, Victoria, but I have recently felt uncomfortable and not suitable for going out, this The second time Aldridge went to Asia, I did not plan to go with him."
"Really? That's a shame."
Ewen said goodbye to Victoria at the other end of the phone and hung up.
Originally, there was nothing to intersect. In life, Aldridge and Beckham ate at least two meals a year, and most of them were still working relationships. They were also inside the football industry.
However, due to the national team, and the fact that there are wives in England, they have a certain position in it. Victoria, who is so versatile, invites Ewen to go to Japan with their gangs to cheer on England.
Yiwen knew that if she appeared in the stands with Victoria and the girlfriends or wives of other players, she would certainly attract a lot of right and wrong topics. She didn’t want to distract Audridge and bring him trouble, and she said that she was unwell, It's not an excuse, it's just inappropriate language.
Burt and Earl will still go to Japan with their grandparents, and they will travel right and not be mixed with the wife of England.
At this moment, Aldridge and the England national team are both at Millwall's training base.
The Premier League ended at the beginning of the month, and the leagues of other countries also came to an end at that time. The national team warm-up match followed. The national team was already in the state of preparation for the UEFA Champions League final, so when Millwall returned After going to London for the grand celebration parade of the Seven Crowns, two national team warm-up matches were ushered in immediately.
For the sake of insurance, the internationals contacted by Man all rested, plus the lack of major generals, the two warm-up matches of the national team played worse, one level and one loss, making Fleet Street panic.
In this national team training, Aldridge recruited very few players. He was to avoid a situation, that is, for example, when 30 people were recruited, then when the final list is determined, you have to notify 7 of them. Tell them face to face: You cannot follow the team to Asia to participate in the World Cup.
Originally, Aldridge’s national team lineup was relatively stable, plus two or three people were deleted, and now because of Gary Neville, Gerrard withdrew due to injury, Aldridge faced the problem instead of other mainstream The problem with the coach of the powerful national team.
Like Spain, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, the head coach will have a headache who will kick it out!
Aldrich's headache is, who will choose to make up!
The coaching staff gathered at the meeting to reorganize and analyze the performance, status, position of the field and characteristics of the national football candidates in order to provide advice to Audridge and finalize the final World Cup roster.
Aldridge is doing this job positively.
He outlined the framework of the main line-up. The 23-man roster, 11 main players, plus two substitute goalkeepers, there are 10 people left. Basically, it is enough to match each position. There is a substitute for each position. , That will definitely be given priority.
4321 formation.
The three goalkeepers have no suspense.
Four backs, Gary Neville is gone. According to the performance and position of Phil Neville at Manchester United this season, he can be replaced. At the same time, because he is a Manchester contact, he also works with Beckham, who is also the right back. Better than Mills.
Central defender, Southgate Gard Ferdinand.
Left back, Ashley Cole, Ashley Cole on loan to Tottenham for a season has become very mature, he and Lampard, Joe Cole just help Tottenham this old and sick team to take Arriving at the top of the standings made Arsenal fans resentful, thinking that Millwall had loaned the Three Tigers to give Tottenham a disgusting gunman.
Three backs, Beckham, Lampard have no suspense, Beckham has recovered, recently participated in restorative training, although there is no competition, but Beckham's fighting spirit and physical fitness are excellent, obtained at Millwall Medical Center With better care and a scientific recovery plan, his timely comeback is faster than expected.
Bart is still the one with some worries in Aldrich’s eyes. His ability is the end of first-class. Perhaps only fighting spirit and experience may overshadow Hargreaves. Aldrich thinks about it, or decides to use Bart as the main candidate. Hagg After all, Reeves didn't know much about the big scenes, and Bart was still in contact with Man. He also had an inherent advantage in tacit understanding.
Scholes, McManaman, Owen, the frontcourt trio were free of injuries and illnesses, and the state was okay. No one was so bad that Aldridge had a headache.
After determining the main lineup framework, Aldridge began to list the candidates for each position.
The right back has Mills.
Central defenders include Campbell and Terry. Brown was excluded from the roster. Most of the time last season he was recuperating and his condition was not satisfactory after his return.
The left back has Bridge.
Midfield is his biggest headache.
Bart's location is Hargreaves.
Lampard and Beckham had Gerald's position, but now it's gone.
"We need two candidates for the positions of David and Frank, and their characteristics are different."
Aldridge knocked on the table to give orders.
The coaching staff acted, and someone picked up a piece of information and said: "How about Barry? He can defend.
Aldrich took a look at Gareth Barry's information and told the truth, he heard the name, the basic strength of the player, he had a rough assessment in his heart, but, to go to the World Cup also need to pay attention to a fate, like Gerald There is no problem with his strength, but if he is injured, he cannot go, and Gary Neville is no different.
After reading Barry's information, Aldridge shook his head and said: "He did not play many games last season, and he still plays as a defender. I want a lower back, not a defender."
Barry is playing midfield in the future, but he is not now, so Aldridge rejected this candidate, the same reason he rejected Carragher.
"How about Tottenham Carrick? The players we cultivated."
Aldridge heard Boaz's proposal and remembered Carrick.
When he took over the national team, he let the U21 echelon focus on cultivating Carrick. After Carrick left Millwall, his development trajectory was okay. Last season, Tottenham boss Levi came to visit Aldridge personally and rented three generals. , And then brought Carrick to Tottenham on the transfer market. I have to say that Levi’s Jewish mind was very flexible. When he first arrived, he recognized Millwall’s sign, and those Millwalls let go. There are indeed a lot of players in the game, and of course, the players who have been poached in small clubs are naturally genuine.
Carrick and Lampard controlled the midfielder last season, and their performance was very outstanding.
While Carrick is in Tottenham, he is hitting the midfielder, Lampard is playing the midfielder.
Aldridge thought for a while and said: "Then he is one less than Carrick's characteristics."
Boas, the data-collecting maniac, immediately picked up another piece of information and threw it at the Aldridge table. They were not so slick when they were working. They always pay attention to efficiency. Such scenes of losing things in public are commonplace.
"Keell Dyer of Newcastle United, although a bit adventurous, is really better!"
After Boas's words were finished, Aldridge looked through the information and looked at it.
The genius of England cultivated by Robson.
Keelung Dyer, although there are exaggerated facts, but in the football circle, it is just touted, the scenery will not be long, you have to be a little capable.
Dyer, how did the British media brag about him?
He is faster than Zidane, Zidane will, he will!
This is obviously shit!
However, under Robson's rule, Newcastle United's record has soared in recent years, and it is inseparable from the outstanding performance of the midfielder, Dyer.
Aldrich had known this player for a long time, but he has not recruited the national team. He used to have plenty of staff. He is not a constant off-court player. With the addition of stop-and-stop players, he is not very willing to use it. It’s in vain, and I can’t count on it at all. Why? It hurts.
However, after looking at the performance data of the second half of the Dale League, and now there is a lack of major generals, Aldridge can only give him a chance, and speaking of the characteristics, Dyer and Carrick are really different. When studying Newcastle United , Aldridge knew that the "genius" was almost all-round in the frontcourt. The style of the ball was also good at breaking the ball, making the situation open, and the impact of its speed, it is worth gambling. After all, it is a substitute, well prepared, maybe there is a role as a soldier.
"Okay, just him. Joe Cole, Alan Smith..."
When talking about Alan Smith, Aldridge was silent. Last season, Alan Smith was withdrawn from the front line at Leeds United, closer to the midfield. Odridge thinks that Alan Smith is a wrong era. If he is late In ten years, when the defensive forward also began to become a style, Alan Smith could be better than now, stalking the defender, running constantly, starting to defend from the first line, and the partial defense succeeded immediately. The front shock hit the opponent's defense line halo, plus he has the consciousness and ability to play, but it is a pity that the wrong era and the wrong place are born. In England, the striker needs to be one high and one fast, high, he is not high, Fast, but not absolutely fast, individual soldiers can't count on the fight. If you want to make a ball, you must first hold the ball, especially the high-altitude ball.
Aldrich thought about it, still intending to give Smith a chance, but in using his considerations, he has changed from a forward to a midfielder.
"There is also a forward, Husky, Husky, Husky..."
Aldrich stroked his head, not knowing why, when he mentioned Husky, he felt very heavy.
Probably the opponent's poor number of goals really made him a little desperate.
In the conference room, other coaches felt that the work was done, yeah, the final list, Husky counted, the replacement for each position is enough, the list of 23 people is finalized!
But their expressions were weird, and they found Aldridge frowning and murmuring in his mouth, repeating Husky's name.
"Apart from Husky, can we still have strikers to choose?"
The other coaches looked at each other, looked at the shortlist, and said one name after another.
Sheringham?
Fowler?
Cole?
Crouch?
Wasser?
Aldrich shook his head. These were either old or small, and they couldn't count on it.
He didn’t want to bring Husky. In theory, Husky is good, but Aldridge remembers that Husky’s scoring efficiency in the national team is terrible. It is estimated that 8-9 games can score a goal!
Bring him, Aldridge may choose to let him go up when he is helpless, and then the England team rushes to hang and crosses.
But I can think about it, the original England is to play a very mature cross-play tactics. In a very mature technical and tactical system, Husky can only score so few goals. How can he let Aldridge take him at a critical moment? Send it to bet? And there is such a player on the bench that will also change the direction of the head coach's thinking. Just send him to gamble, and then, lose, who is it?
Aldrich thought about going, instead of betting with luck, it was better to cut off his retreat.
In case Irving has any good, Lao Tzu will play without a tactic!
