Chapter 1002: Get back on track

Aldrich quickly spread his anger in and outside the locker room at Lisbon’s Bright Stadium.
This is the price of not being able to control emotions.
"The Sun" threatened to hear a huge crack in the dressing room of the Three Lions.
"Mirror" made an in-depth analysis of this incident.
With the title "Manchester United Class 92 should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the national team!"
The article analyzed the battle between England and France, and gave Gerald, Irving, Hargreaves, Ashley Cole and other players high ratings in the post-match comments.
Players from Manchester United's 92 class did not score well.
Among them, Scholes had the highest score and only qualified scores.
It is believed that Scholes is in a mediocre state and lacks bright spots.
Gary Neville was very difficult to defend Henry in the second half on the defensive end, and his offensive assist performance was not outstanding. He became the lowest score in the English team. Beckham, who is slightly better than him, has only one comment on Beckham: As if he lacked a new hairstyle, the whole person became mediocre on the court.
The comments of the whole game were sharp and unrelenting.
"If France is not a defending champion, what can be proud of England's victory? France's multiplayer is in a doldrums, only Zidane's superb skills are impressive, not to mention that Pires is ridiculously arranged to play on the right side. In the face of the young England’s impact, the French team’s aging defense is difficult to maintain for a long time. Gerrard and Lampard have covered all areas from their own restricted area to the front of the opponent’s door. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the The two fighters used their extraordinary physical strength to bring down the French team's defense. In the end, Gerrard played his most exciting game in the national team! However, after Southgate confirmed the injury to the European Cup, the England team Who are the players with the deepest qualifications and the oldest age in the team and who should shoulder the responsibilities of the national team? Isn’t it the 92 players that Manchester United is proud of? Neville, Scholes, Beckham, it’s time for them to support From the spine of England, he led the England team to the head, but Beckham, who had just officially become the captain, was dissatisfied with Sir Hall. Fans who have watched the game will remember Gerald, Irving, and the crazy running in the midfield and backcourt. Hargreaves, Ashley Cole who shuttled up and down, and Lampard who repeatedly attacked quickly in the frontcourt, but who would remember Beckham? Perhaps people only want to appreciate his The wonderful arc of the foot is passed, but Sir Hall does not want these. If Beckham cannot restore his state and attitude at the World Cup two years ago, we can make a bold idea: he will be defeated by Sir Hall Strip the captain's armband and kick him out of the starting lineup!"
The Times directly ignored the "contradictions" in the locker room in England.
David Miller, who wrote the war report reviews, explained everything in one sentence.
"There are no disputes and contradictions in the locker room without a team, and England is no exception. As long as Sir Hall is there, there will be no problems in the locker room of the England team. Even if there is a quarrel, it will be a positive effect. People Probably forget that the coach itself has the power to criticize the underperforming players. If Sir Hall does not criticize the players, this is the real hidden danger!"
David Miller is more inclined to explore the technical and tactical changes of England after the European Cup debut.
"After McManaman withdrew from the national team, England’s personal breakthrough ability has decreased significantly. In response to this change, Sir Hall activated Gerrard, supplemented by midfielder Lampard, Scholes, Beckham, using their wide running range and strong defensive ability to implement stronger defensive oppression against the opponent! Two years ago, England's key defensive area was in the midfield and backcourt, and now it has moved forward to the midfield. The advantage of this is that as long as the ball is intercepted in the midfield, England can hit the offense to the front line in the shortest time, so that the opponent’s reaction time and arming time are shortened again. The offense relies more on the player’s back insertion, short time The explosive force inside hits the opponent's defense line, instead of relying on personal breakthroughs. This system is very clear. The front of the striker, Irving, is behind Gerrard, and later, there is Lampard, the player who sends them shells. The distribution is reasonable, with Beckham on the right, Scholes on the middle, and Ashley Cole on the left. The English team’s play is simpler and more direct than it was two years ago. The side pass back to ours In sight, but the use of details is still impressive. When Gerrard and Lampard have no space to intervene, England will never pass the sideways..."
The European Cup is different from the World Cup.
The European Cup schedule is much tighter than the World Cup!
The World Cup lasts one month, the European Cup is only 3 weeks, and the interval between matches is only 3 days.
Therefore, during the European Cup, the England team had much fewer holidays than the World Cup. On the second day after the match day, they resumed training in the morning, let them rest in the afternoon, and could meet their family members. They would return to the hotel at night and spend another day , You have to set off for the city of the second game, you can imagine how much pressure will be!
In particular, modern football is becoming more intense, and the recovery time of a player after a game will be longer. The tighter the schedule, the greater the test for the team. England is actually good. Southgate withdrew from Europe due to injury. After the Cup, no team's main force is older than 30 years old, and most of the players are in their prime.
In the recovery training the next morning, Beckham publicly apologized in the team and stated that he will seriously perform the duties of the captain. Aldridge encouraged the team to mention the storm after the game with France.
On this day, Group C games followed.
After being eliminated in the World Cup two years ago, Larson announced his withdrawal from the national team. He persuaded the Swedish national team and friends and relatives, as well as the Swedish Prime Minister and UEFA President Johansson, to continue playing for the national team.
His "return" is perfect.
Sweden debuted in the European Cup, Larson led the team to slaughter Bulgaria 5:0, and he scored two goals, Ibrahimovic and Yongberg scored goals in this battle.
Italy, the number one hotspot in the same group, was a surprise, ending 0-0 with Denmark.
Although the coach Trapattoni declared Italy unprecedented unity before the expedition.
However, the internal contradictions in Italy were revealed. Gattuso disdained Zanetti's competition. Fiore questioned that Camoranesi nationality chose to betray his birthplace, and Piero lost his habitual contest. The powerful Italy is struggling.
On the third day after the Anglo-French World War I, the entire England team was promoted from Lisbon to Coimbra. The European Cup schedule was tight and the schedule was extremely painful because after the second World War, England had to return The advantage of going to Lisbon to play the third group match is that it is more conducive to preparing for the battle, everything is easy to handle, and the disadvantage is that running at both ends is inevitably a bit superfluous. Ok.
Coimbra is a historical and cultural city in Portugal. The city revolves around Coimbra University, the second oldest university on the Iberian Peninsula. This institution has a history of more than 500 years, so this city is also known as " "City of students", unfortunately, England did not come for tourism. In this slightly retro-styled city, they stayed in hotels, stepped on the field to train, and did not listen to things outside the window.
There are only four groups in the European Cup. There are only a few strong teams that will qualify. Aldrich does not waste time by example. He naturally takes the time to pay attention to the status of other teams.
Four teams from Group D made their debut on this day.
The Czech team led by Nedved was almost upset in the first match of the group.
Their opponent is Latvia, and until 70 minutes into the game, Latvia still leads 1:0.
The Czech team entered the European Cup in the style of offensive football and wanted to make a name for it, so Latvia's goals need not be guessed: counterattack.
However, Latvia looked immature after all, and finally resisted the strong firepower of the Czech team after 70 minutes.
The Czech team equalized the score in 73 minutes and completed the reversal in 85 minutes. The audience slammed a 27-foot shot, and Latvia failed to be upset.
In Europe, this three-point acre of ground, but all strong teams have some holidays, such as the finale of the German team and the Dutch team, where did the uncrowned king of the Netherlands come from? The German team has a lot of credit.
Known as 30 years of incomprehensible hatred!
As a result, the unsuccessful German team was finally hated by Fanny alone riding the Savior. The two teams scored one point each. In this top three group, the Czech team took the lead in taking the line.
Compared with other groups, Aldridge must be most concerned about the Group A event.
Because England made the first or second group qualifying, the team they met after the qualifying must come from Group A.
The group stage will be played immediately on the second match day, and there will be no rest in the middle of the day.
Aldridge attended the press conference after leading the team training on this day.
When asked by reporters about his anger after the war between Britain and France, he did not avoid the topic and responded bluntly.
"The European Cup is played day after day, and the group stage of the same team is to play 3 games in 8 days, with only 3 days of rest in the middle. We will resume the rest on the first day and run the next day. Going to another city, all preparations must be done on the third day! I think the players of England are a bit impetuous. We are the World Cup champions, but that is already past, and we have defeated the defending champion France, what do we stand for? Did we win the cup on our behalf? Have we ended all the games on our behalf? No! If we waste time celebrating and wasting time complacently, how can we go further? I have to wake the players up and defeat France, we He scored 3 points, nothing more. It has no other meaning."
"Is there a conflict between you and England captain Beckham?"
"Me and David have known each other for almost ten years. He is now the captain of the England team. This is not an easy and simple job. I have high expectations of him, so I will put forward more stringent requirements. He will understand that now Everything is normal for the England team and we are back on track."
At this point, Aldridge was not talking about his words, Southgate’s injury retreated, Aldridge’s anger seemed to become an opportunity, sounded the team’s ideological alarm, calmed their mind, and faced down to the future game. , The team status, back to the World Cup as it was.
When talking about opponents in the second game, Aldridge is not stingy.
"The Swiss team has an exciting future. Two years ago, they won the championship in the U17 European Youth Championship and won the top ranking in the U21 European Youth Championship in the same year. On the stage of the Champions League, we also saw Clubs from Switzerland such as Basel are starting to show something. This is the progress of Swiss football. I am not saying that England will fear Switzerland, but I want to express the determination of Swiss football to catch up and try to get into the top ranks. This is English football is worthy of learning and attention, because we now have a group of very good players, but, as a country with a history of hundreds of years of football development, the next generation of British football is worrying. The decline in competitiveness is a red flag."
After finishing the pre-match press conference, Aldridge returned to the Coimbra hotel to watch the Group A match.
Spain played a very good game on the scene, because Spain is delicate and gorgeous, but also pursues the offensive. The breakthrough of the sidewalk Huajin is unmatched. Morrentes' tactical effect is very obvious, but Greece is very dull, very Dull!
Only one game in the whole game, the only time it seemed to have a threat offensive. As a result, the Greek team equalized the score, and Spain scored a three-pointer!
The score of 1:1 was maintained to the end.
Spain and Greece have 4 points.
The Spanish media criticized Seth as a coward after the game. When he needed 3 points, he replaced Raul and lacked the courage to break through.
Most people are still optimistic, because as long as Spain scores another point, they will enter the knockout.
Portugal is in danger and they have won the Russian two games with two goals in a calm situation.
This group became an unexpected death trend.
The first team to go home in the European Cup was born on the fifth day after the game.
Russia.
