Chapter 859: Forced!

Saitama World Cup Stadium.
The scene was full of enthusiasm. When Southgate and Cafu led the England and Brazil starters to follow the referee, the atmosphere suddenly came to a small climax.
"The highly anticipated second semi-final is about to begin! England, who won five games, competes with Brazil, who also won five games, for the final ticket. The media around the world predict the outcome of this game before the game. Brazil More dominant, but not one-sided. England only lost 1 goal in 5 games, but did not lose one goal in the last 4 games! Brazil has a strong offensive firepower, but can they completely destroy England with a gorgeous attack? This is a big one Doubt! Gary, how do you watch this game?"
"There is no doubt that these are the two best teams, we actually hope that the two teams will meet in the finals, but as Hall said at a press conference yesterday, what is the difference between the finals and the semifinals? What? Brazil wants to win the championship and beat England, both in the semifinals and the finals. England is the same. I think this game may not be as exciting as everyone expected, because both teams are a model of balance between offense and defense. England The team and Brazil have a lot of goals, but the way is different. England has weakened the strike line and strengthened the defense. The troops have defended the midfield to balance the offensive and defensive based on the defense. The Brazil team has weakened the defense and strengthened the attack. In the midfield, they gathered heavy troops, and they also achieved a balance of offense and defense. In terms of technical and tactical expression, the Brazilian team is more popular because they make up for the defense by attacking, and the balance is achieved overall, while England is based on defense to release the offense reasonably No matter how, Hall and Scolari, the two coaches to build their respective teams have reached a classic textbook-style height, and this contest, two teams with heavy troops in the midfield are very likely It will make the scene sticky and intense, but it may not be very exciting, because they will not give the opponent a good offensive opportunity and try to keep the opponent out of the danger zone as much as possible."
"Yeah, through this World Cup, Brazil has made more fans all over the world like them. Their offense is simply fantastic, and although England also scored a lot, they did not occupy the offense most of the time. Taking the initiative will make many English fans say a little bit."
"No way, we don't have Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho. Although the fans like Brazil, but I observe the European football media column, many coaches respect the Three Lions team built by Hall more, For Brazil, there is nothing but praise."
"Why is this?"
"I think, whether it is Brazil's 343, or England's 4321, it will shine in this World Cup. It is not a bad idea to be listed as a classic tactic. In addition to ornamental and applicability, Brazil's 343 may be in addition to Brazil. The teams that UEFA can imitate are rare, because not every team can have a 3R combination. Without the terrible offensive pressure of the 3R combination, it will help the defense. Then, 343 may be defeated. On the contrary, the England team Of the 4321, although the strong teams in UEFA disdain, because unless the strong teams meet stronger opponents, basically no club would be willing to play the ultimate anti-reverse formation of strategic weakness, but the middle and lower reaches of the top league The team will be interested in studying it. The cost of imitating England is not particularly high, which is why many coaches respect it."
"Oh, to put it this way, the name of Hall's master tactics must be louder."
"He has always been highly respected, and the topic has returned to the game. I think that the overall technical and tactical confrontation may not find the stronger and weaker gap. Then the game is probably determined by the personal performance of the star. For example, The England team, with almost no errors in the field, was defeated by a magical performance by Maradona, a hand of God, and even five people."
"Haha, Gary, you are still thinking about the game that year. We have already beaten Argentina in this competition. Are you still not satisfied?"
"That's the biggest regret in my career."
...
Aldrich shook hands with Scolari before the players entered the field. The two tacitly complimented each other yesterday. The master style that was a bit masterful was also praised by the media as a hero.
Aldrich claims to be a mad lion, but he is often not crazy, because he has a habit of complimenting his opponent, even if the opponent is defeated by him, and Scolari is not too crazy now. In the original history, only Brazil won the championship After that, it started to be a little crazy, for example, "My grandma can also win the championship with Brazil".
Before the England competition, he broke two generals, one main Gary Neville, one substitute Gerrard, but after coming to the World Cup, the team did not appear non-combat type reductions, which made Aldridge very pleased.
Today, they put on the first 5 games as usual, with 4 of the same starting lineup.
The England team started with 4321.
Goalkeeper: Seaman.
Guards: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.
Midfielder: Beckham, Bart, Lampard.
Front waist: McManaman, Scholes.
Forward: Owen.
After coming to the World Cup, the England team is adjusting their status and adapting to the competition, because they have more young people and less knowledge of the big scene.
The Brazilian team came to the World Cup, there is really a movement to adjust the personnel, which also stems from the factor of Scolari's short time in office.
For example, Scolari pulled Juninho out of the starting line and replaced it with Kleberson, which completely allowed the Brazilian team to reach an offensive and defensive balance, and after such adjustments, the Brazilian team performed better and better.
The Brazilian team started with 343.
Goalkeeper: Marcos.
Guards: Junior, Lucio, Ed Millson.
Midfielders: Cafu, Kleberson, Silva, Carlos.
Forwards: Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.
In the World Cup semi-finals that attracted worldwide attention, even Ronaldinho, who always showed his ease in his face, looked serious. When shaking hands with his opponent, Ronaldinho first nodded when he shook hands with Southgate, patted his arm, and then All Millwall teammates, he patted each other's arms, Lampard, Ashley Cole will also pat his arms.
In the World Cup, it is very common for teammates to meet, and when players see the opponent's coach as the head of their club, this feeling will be very weird.
Ronaldinho realized this situation for the second time. The last time was in a friendly match. Brazil lost that game. Today, he simply does not go to see Aldridge, so as not to be cranky.
But Aldridge had to observe Ronaldinho carefully.
Standing on the sidelines, Aldridge waited for the game to begin.
He can simply disregard any other factors and devote himself to the spot command of this game.
The first step is to observe.
In England and Brazil, he has to observe the state of self and the state of opponents.
In the first half, the Brazilian team kicked off first.
When the referee Kim Nelson sounded the whistle at the beginning of the game, the semi-final battle began!
The England team retired from the first half, and Irving symbolically harassed, and only in the middle circle, not forward.
At Aldrich’s request, all players in the England team must participate in defense!
No one has privileges, but this does not mean that Owen as a striker must run back to the penalty area to defend. The key is to play a defensive role. In this game, because the Brazil team is known for its offense, Owen's defensive task will be heavier.
At the beginning of the game, both sides were slightly conservative. England seemed to be going for the bus, and the Brazilian team seemed to be slowly warming up in a rhythm into the game.
After a minute, Cafu passed the ball to Rivaldo in front. The latter took the ball and cut into the middle. Lampard, Bart and Ashley Cole formed a defense. Rivaldo tried to break through and was Lampard stretched his feet from behind to destroy.
England turned around and fought back, decisively shifting the ball to the right, McManamanla went to the right, and with Carlos back in place, he rushed into Ed Millson's defense, the Brazilian left-back!
Before the two sides met, McManaman stabbed the ball behind Edmilson, and the chasing boy Irving succeeded in anti-offside. However, his position was outside the penalty area and was close to the bottom line.
Irving tried to pass the ball back to McManaman, who was running horizontally. This pass was too easy to be predicted. Gilberto Silva returned to intercept the ball.
The Brazilian team turned around and then attacked, then took the advantage of the left, but Scolari on the sidelines frowned.
The England team failed to attack, and it was intercepted in the case of a sporting undead ball. It can be said that this is the best environment to counterattack, but when the Brazil team turned to attack, the England team's defense line was very tight!
Four backs, three backs, all in their respective defenses, interlocking, and Scholes in Irving all rushed to the bottom line, he was actually just behind McManaman, which is the front waist. When McManaman failed to receive Irving's pass, Scholes turned around and retreated. This time, the Brazilian team's offense has not advanced through the half, and the England team has 8 people in the backcourt!
what happened?
It was the England counterattack that did not invest as much force as the previous five games.
Their counterattack will involve at least 4 people. There is no need to talk about three people in the front field. There will definitely be at least one in the middle and backcourts. At most, 5 people will reach the first line. The subsequent echelon will maintain the level and prevent opponents from counterattack and control The ball was accidentally dropped.
But as of today's opening, England's posture looks very obvious.
Shou!
The offensive still relies on counterattacks, but it is mediocre. It is more like the traditional impression that defensive counterattacks rely on a fixed number of two or three people to attack the city.
Scolari wanted to say that Aldridge was naive, but it was wrong to think about it.
If the young master of the famous Zhenjiang Lake really shines the killer in the opening scene, how can he be famous all over the world? Isn't everyone blind in the world!
Scolari intends to look at it again, and think about it again, so as not to say the young master.
If Aldridge knew that Scolari was so afraid of himself, and even reached the point of cup and bow, he did not know whether to cry or laugh.
He is not a god. How could he surprise his opponent on the spot?
The posture of England after opening today will basically not change!
The opponent is too strong!
The combination of 3R can be ubiquitous in the front field, plus two monsters with double cards on the side. This attack system can't find the second one comparable to this one!
Even Millwall's unmatched offensive configuration must be slightly weaker.
In terms of paper strength, England’s top five opponents in the World Cup are only stronger than Argentina. However, Argentina’s technical and tactical system has problems. Theoretically, it is very fierce in theory and the actual effect is very general, even if Scolari admitted that he borrowed from Argentina. The tactics of football, but football tactics have been laughed at by football professionals for hundreds of years: decades of development, but a slight mobile change in a certain position.
As everyone knows, it is this seemingly inadvertent detail change that has a crucial impact on the overall situation.
This is the case for the Brazilian team, which looks like Argentina, but the tasks shouldered by the midfielders are different, and the strength of the players in the team is very different from that of Argentina.
Can Aldridge not be afraid?
There is a lack of talent in England, Brazil can play offensive football, and their offensive system is 5 world-class players!
It is these 5 world-class players with 5 unsophisticated engineering players that form the super team after excluding the goalkeeper!
This combination of offense and defense system is similar to that of Millwall. Someone walks gracefully in front of the world to please the world. Someone in the back should be blamed for the dirty work. This kind of truth sounds simple, but it is difficult to do.
What is there in England?
Aldridge didn’t complain, but if he could give him another world-class striker, he would really dare to play against Brazil, instead of retracting and seemingly tightening the fence with all his heart.
It's a pity that the murderous England is just one Owen, and there is no one else. Two years later, four years later, maybe a fantasy, a healthy Owen, and a rational Lu Xiaofan.
Today, Aldridge's tactical tone for the team is to defend Scholes more harder, to take advantage of his offensive and defensive strength at Manchester United's central midfielder. When attacking, the center and backcourt can only play at most. The counterattack only depends on 3-4 people, the rest, rest, concentrate on defense.
No way, forced by Brazil!
However, in the fourth minute of the opening, Ronaldinho got rid of the pass and had a momentary pass to the middle, but he also grasped it. However, Rivaldo did not run into place and was intercepted by Bart.
Aldridge's eyes widened suddenly, and he made a decisive move, gestured on the sidelines, ordered England to attack!
