Chapter 832: Achilles' Heel of the Three Lions

After Aldridge sat down, the camera frequently switched between Aldrich and Bielsa. After 2 minutes, Bielsa also sat down.
The fighting of the two coaches on the sidelines completely ended.
Aldridge did not hold the arrogance and arrogance of victory, but Bielsa seemed lonely and helpless, and there was a trace of hesitation.
It's not that Aldridge disdains and fights against each other again, but that Argentina has retreated, withdrew, and abandoned their proud football style.
Bielsa also sees this. He had the idea of ​​roaring at the players, allowing them to bravely attack and try to get one or two goals.
However, he couldn't scream, thinking it was too cruel.
Therefore, when six players in Argentina retreated to the half, even if the situation was disconnected from the attacking group in the front field, Bielsa was indifferent.
He has only two options, either attack or defend.
The three lines must be close, and no obvious distance can be drawn, otherwise it is not a whole.
Offense, the wing players in the backcourt are going to go back to the 3313 system, but can players on the field, especially defensive players, be fair to them?
Was it the defensive players who were brutally and brutally beaten by England’s quick counterattack? Time and time again, they were fooled by the other party's simple but practical pass-through cooperation, and turned around pretentiously. They were shocked to discover the defense loophole and were helpless. How strong was their physical and mental torture?
However, Bielsa did not want to order himself to withdraw all front-court players to defend and completely abandon his offensive concept. This is a feeling and a self-pursuit. He has the style of Bielsa's brand. Once he rewrites it himself, The ego will be subverted and lost.
Do not bow your head stubbornly, do not admit defeat, not reconciled, do not want to extinguish that gorgeous romantic fire of hope.
So from 70 minutes to 80 minutes, the England team completely ruled the midfield. McManaman tried the situation. He no longer pulled the edge, but returned to the midfield and began to cooperate with his teammates in the middle of the road. Mid Road helps England build an advantage.
However, the Argentine team shrank the defense line, the front of the penalty area was full of noise, and the restricted area was overcrowded. The Argentine team had a defensive advantage in the most dangerous zone, and the England team did not pursue complex offensive cooperation. As long as there was a chance within 35 yards of the goal, Shooting, this is a bit of luck, or the signs of volley.
However, this is exactly what Aldridge requested, because if it continues to develop, the offensive of the England team will still be very weak. The subtle cooperation in a small range is not what they are good at. The offense will play neatly regardless of the position. The fight is still counterattack, without delay, and never on the offensive end, slow and deliberately pass back and forth to cut the opponent's defense line, because this can only be thought about, but it is very difficult to do.
Lampard, Scholes, Beckham and McManaman took long shots in the periphery. Whether they hit the goal or not, they would make England fans cheer in the stands.
In their eyes, the England team has relaxed and began to intimidate Argentina at will, as if their opponents are not worth mentioning, and it is not worth them to take all their skills to deal with, because the score has shown that the Three Lions have crushed the Pampas Eagles. .
But those who think when watching the ball know that the England team actually has the same Achilles heel as Argentina, that is, the lack of creativity in the positional battle, and the lack of one's own power to control the battle.
So the England team chose a seemingly simple and violent method to play.
"3:0, England won this game without any suspense, but, Gary, do you think there is something worrying about England? After McManaman's shot hit the side net, the England team did not Another threatening offense, is the England team really relaxed, or is there still room for improvement in our offense?"
"Relax? Impossible, the opponent is Argentina, England will not relax for a second, no. But now, I think it is still the core of England's technical and tactical skills, like Lampard, Beckham, Scholes. It’s really helpless not to rush into the opponent’s restricted area and shoot long shots in the periphery, because there is no obvious forward pass, and Irving can’t pose a threat if he runs alone. With a long shot, the attacking player will return to the middle and backcourt for the first time to ensure the quality of defense and avoid being counterattacked by the opponent."
"Gary is right, we cannot say that the England team is perfect, but in my opinion, it is the most troublesome for the England team to encounter two teams. One is that the offensive football can really create terror pressure. This On one point, although Argentina is known as a big offensive football, but their ability to make threats in a small area is not enough to make the England team defensive chaos, so the England team can calmly fight back. The second kind is a team with strong defense, There will be no way for the England team to attack, and then? Maybe it is to see who made a mistake, or give it to luck to decide the destiny. In summary, there are two opponents with extreme advantages, extreme offensive or defensive."
Andy Gray's comments are straightforward.
England is not perfect, the defense is not the top, and the offense is not the top, so if you encounter one of these two top teams, the England team will encounter the most difficulties.
As for defense and offense can reach the top, then such a team will be impeccable, but such a team, this competition should not be.
In the past, the balanced philosophy line that England took in the past was actually to hope that the offensive and defensive can achieve perfection. It was not their vulgarity, nor their willingness to be modest. It was too unrealistic to pursue. Both ends did not create an advantage in balance, but instead fell. mediocre.
It's not that Aldridge doesn't want to pursue perfection.
Even if the cook has the ability to make the Man Han seat, he can walk into the kitchen and see that there are only carrots and cucumbers. What can he do to make the Man Han seat?
If the England team is strong, it will inevitably give up in exchange for the advantage at the expense of.
Obviously, what Aldridge gave up was the offense. The offense was divided into two parts, the positional battle and the counterattack. What the England team abandoned was the positional battle.
Their positional battle is not even as patient as a second-rate team. The second-rate team will also patience back and forth in the middle and frontcourts to find empty time. The England team will blindly use an irresponsible attitude when the opponent's defense is tight. Ground kick, missed shot, blocked, and cared about, turned around to defend.
Of course, this means that the England team is playing against rivals of its own strength, such as Argentina.
England is like Sweden, and its paper strength is not as good as its opponent. It still takes a lot of pain in the battle of the position, but on the whole it will not be pressed by the army. Inspire.
"Lampard plugged in and shot long before the penalty area! Cavaleiro blocked the ball and the ball bounced out of the penalty area. Scholes volleyed the ball non-stop! Huh, wiped the crossbar and deviated from the goal In fact, England has such a long shot, maybe it really has an effect. Lampard, Scholes, McManaman, and Beckham all have good at long shots."
"Maybe Hall also combined the advantages of England in this respect to create such a brand-new England team. He must have considered it more comprehensively than us, so it is presented in front of us. We can only discover it little by little. reasoning."
Simone roared at the teammates in front of him, letting them come back to defend, especially Aimar, relying on Simone, Solin, or Zanetti, the defense in the front of the penalty area still can't withstand the defense, the back line is afraid to move, if Then the defender moved, and Owen might be able to seize the opportunity to counter offside, giving him space to stop the ball and shoot in the penalty area.
The players in front of the Argentine team finally accepted their fate. Except that Crespo was alone in the front and was sandwiched by the England team, everyone else withdrew to support the defense.
This is the case, after 80 minutes, Argentina finally brought the scene back to equilibrium.
However, everything is late.
The score is 3:0 and the Argentina team has no substitutions.
Their players also see that the England team can't play any tricks in their positional battles, they are weak in their minds, and they appear to be offensively weak, just like they did after they attacked wildly.
If the game can be repeated, the Argentine players will definitely not take the initiative to attack again, absolutely not!
If that's the case, the game might become turbulent. The two sides saw in the midfield and ended in a draw. Unless there is any sudden turning event, after all, the creativity of the two teams in positional warfare is not top.
Under the watch of more than 40,000 fans on the scene and the countless fans in front of the TV in the world, the last 10 minutes of the Anglo-African War seemed to be unsettled. After a period of contention between the two teams in the midfield, the English team took the initiative to control the rhythm. Argentina The field anti-robbing did not dare to invest too many people.
When the game came to the 90th minute, the England team used the first substitution in the game.
"The youngster Hargreaves came on to replace captain Beckham. This was a reward given by Hall to Beckham, allowing him to accept the cheers of the English fans on the spot alone. Look, Sapporo Dome Stadium stands, while wearing England Fans of the jersey and many neutral fans stood up and applauded Beckham."
Beckham smiled and walked slowly at the end of the game. He also shook hands with the most famous contemporary referee Corina. When he walked out, he raised his hands above his head and applauded to the stands, thanking the fans for his heroic courtesy. .
Clapping hands with Hargreaves, Beckham left the field, came to the coach seat, Aldridge extended his hand calmly, Becky hesitated, high-five with Aldridge, in fact, he wanted to hug Aldridge of.
In this game, even if the lead is 3:0 in 60 minutes, Aldridge did not have the idea of ​​replacing him early, because the situation is clear at a glance, the England team will qualify early, and there will be a group match left. He will send all the substitutes to the stage to give the main force The players have enough rest time, and there will be 10 days between the top 16 elimination games. So in this game, the main player can play the whole game and change Beckham at the last moment. It is also because this game is special to Beckham. Special moments.
Hargreaves didn't play very long, he didn't even hit the ball once, the whole game ended in Kolina's whistle.
There were loud cheers from England fans on the spot, but most of the Argentine fans retreated sadly. Only a small number of them stayed in the stands to cheer on the team or were sad. It seemed like they had experienced a nightmare and it was unbelievable.
Aldrich got up and walked to shake hands with Belsa. This time, Belsa stared solemnly at Aldridge for a long while. The two did not say a word. After the handshake, Aldridge came into the court to praise the player, while Belsa stood on the field. While watching Aldridge's back, he couldn't wipe his eyes for a long time.
He had to remember Aldridge's figure, so close, so real and shockingly destroyed his own efforts.
He will not remember his hatred, because this is a lesson, hatred will only make people irrational, although Argentina will be forced to the edge of the cliff, maybe the ending will be a torrential flood, but Belsa is still trying to remember the opponent's figure, persistent eyes , There is a touch of respect, and a touch of determination beyond the other side.
Aldridge walked into the field, he smiled, smiled naturally, hugged the players, praised them in their ears, he just wanted to be restrained and encouraged, but the English generals took his neck and centered on him Gathered together to celebrate in the field, at the same time, it is also showing the world the unity of the Three Lions at this time.
