Chapter 556: Faceless opponent

"McManaman calmly pushed the far corner to score! England scored a goal that seemed to have luck, but this came from the tenacious fighting of the Three Lions! Looking back at this goal, the process originated in Spain. Midfielder Harvey turned away from being intercepted by Lampard in the face of pressure from Scholes. Lampard launched a counterattack on the spot and passed the most forward Husky. Husky passed the middle back. When empty, McManaman won a single-handed opportunity against offside, good shot!"
Aldridge nodded slightly after understanding the whole process of scoring.
England is not without organized players, Scholes can do this job, but the position on the field and the original intention of the tactical design are slightly contradictory.
To better organize the offensive, Scholes' position must be withdrawn. In the attacking avant-garde area, the defensive pressure will be extremely great. Moving Scholes' position backward will weaken his opponent. The threat of the goal, therefore, in the requirements of positional warfare, Aldridge does not expect England to play a three-pass two-point small range of exquisite cooperation, that is unrealistic, positional warfare, frontal attack, simple and clear, can achieve success, fight No, it doesn't matter, but more important is the rhythm of the offensive and defensive transition.
When turning from attack to defense, the forward retreated to the area between the opposing defender and the midfielder, harassing the midfielder and also waiting for the opportunity to prepare to move forward again.
The most important thing is to conduct a roundup in the midfield and destroy the opponent's counter-attack. This is not a dead demand. Once the opponent passes the ball, the player will immediately return to the defense, from the local anti-robbery to the back static defense. Formation, and then face the offense again.
Six years later, the ball under Harvey's feet may be difficult to break, especially in the midfield area, but now, he is still a bit young and inexperienced.
The first priority after the successful counter-robbing is to play speed, to decisively deliver the ball, don't hesitate, this goal just reflects this, especially McManaman did not receive the ball after Frank Lampard's goal, but he was not Rushing forward without hesitation, Husky's assist was just right, and the Spanish back line was caught off guard in almost 3 seconds.
This is the strengths and shortcomings of Aldridge's tactical arrangement. England is not good at playing patiently positional battles. The most important thing in this set of tactics is to counterattack, launch counterattacks from the backcourt, and block the other party's offensive from the midfield.
The English fans of Mestalla cheered and the Spanish fans were suffocated.
Great luck in England!
Camacho looked serious on the sidelines.
England played very concisely on the court today, and obviously played the speed. The change of the offensive point is the basis to guarantee the speed. Otherwise, according to the previous 442, the counterpoint mark is easily restricted to death.
At the end of the half, the whistle sounded, and players from both sides walked into the player's tunnel.
Aldridge and Klinsmann walked and chatted, preparing to pick up players at halftime.
"Have you found a problem?"
"Ok?"
Aldridge looked to Klinsmann, and the other thought about it: "Today players are very determined on the court, but they are a bit rigid."
Aldrich nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed too much to pursue ground transfer. Some good opportunities are not seized in the first place. They can use long passes to instigate the offensive, but the players seem to have only the routine of rapid advancement of short ground passes. Wait a minute and talk to them."
"At least this is a relief for the national team. Tactical discipline is stronger than the club's players."
"It should be related to fewer games and the importance of the game. There are always some games in the club that make players pay less attention."
After returning to the locker room, Aldridge found that almost none of England's internationals were idle, and expressed their opinions in groups to discuss the game.
Southgate was talking to the defenders about the defense problems in the first half. It was a fact that he was not scored, but it does not mean that there is no problem in defense. Occasionally, players are out of position, exposing the empty, but Spain did not catch Opportunity only.
Scholes and McManaman are also communicating. Although both of them are at the waist, the roles they can play are different. Most of the time, McManaman is pulling the sideways to find time, and the scope of activities is larger. Coles wants to tandem the offensive.
The ideal situation is that the two can switch roles at any time. In a wave of offense, there are tandem assists, and some are transformed into shadow forwards. This requires more communication between the two.
Aldrich wanted to give them some time to communicate internally. This is a good phenomenon. A successful team must discuss the game internally, point out the mistakes and shortcomings of teammates, and then solve the problems to create a good Atmosphere within the team.
However, he found that the players did not seem to stop.
Beckham also used his hand to indicate the route to Neville to set the route after the offense, how to cooperate, how to create a threat and so on.
"Cough cough cough."
After 5 minutes, Aldridge had to speak out to remind them.
The players in the locker room seemed to be refreshed this time, realizing that the game was only played at halftime. At this time, it was time to listen to the coach.
Everyone immediately sat on the ground, looking at Aldridge, waiting for his tactical adjustment.
In fact, Aldridge has nothing to adjust. The first is the friendly match. Secondly, there will definitely be changes in Spain in the second half. Camacho will not sit back and watch such a homeless game at home. The performance of the qualifier king today is really unsatisfactory.
Spain will change, and any targeted deployment by Aldridge may fail at this time.
"How do you feel about the 45-minute game?"
"not bad!"
Many players immediately answered Aldrich's question.
He drew a tactical board, drew a basic formation, briefly described the road map of the team's counterattack in the first half from the backcourt, basically based on ground penetration and penetration, but the response point is in every attack different.
"This kind of offense played well in the first half, but I hope that players in the midfield and backcourts, especially those with a long pass success rate, pay attention. I did not require you to play short passes point to point. After observing the situation in the frontcourt, If you find that there is a better response point in the frontcourt, you should decisively use a long pass to launch a threatening attack. In this way, we can sprint at full speed after inserting the assist team, instead of slowing down the response and restarting, so that the attack can be further improved. The speed of advancement."
The players nodded, in fact, Aldrich was telling Beckham and Lampard, Ashley Cole and Gary Neville that the long pass success rate was not within a guaranteed accuracy range Inside.
But he still said in front of the team, but also reminded the frontcourt players not to think that every attack is to pass from point to point in the backcourt, to have the awareness of running without the ball in the first place.
Aldridge emphasized the main points of the midfield anti-robbing, and then, let the players clean up the jersey shoes, preparing for the second half of the game.
Spain, really made a substitution in the midfield.
Camacho replaced the three players who attacked in the midfield and frontcourt in one breath.
Harvey was replaced by Belleron, Joaquin was replaced by Mendieta, and Vicente was replaced by Enrique.
Belleron, known as Zidane of Spain, Mendieta and Enrique, Valencia and Barcelona stars, now look at it, but it is a bit of the power of the qualifier king.
Aldridge's eyes looked at Camacho slightly resentfully.
You should be so good before the game.
Now, after playing in the half, Spain is behind, and the English team is in high spirits, even if we don’t count in the first half, the half-time dividing line, but this replaced person, enter the game, the body is excited, can be on the same starting line ?
Behind the first half, the resistance encountered in the midfield was huge. Camacho let Spain's frontcourt formation close back. This time, the midfield confrontation became more intense.
Belleron is expected to improve the offensive in the Spanish midfield, but his weakness is the confrontational softness. In the face of Scholes and Bart's front and back, Scholes actively robbed, Bart Obey Aldrich's decree positively, wait until Belleron gets rid of Scholes before he moves.
Belleron pulled the ball horizontally, but could not get rid of Scholes. Instead, Scholes came to him and formed two gates with Bart.
Take the ball, two sideways, Beckham and Lampardka are on the line, and Belleron passes the ball to the right. The pass is really accurate. Unfortunately, Mendieta did not stop the ball. To stop and pass over Lampard, the person turned and the ball went out of the sideline.
Lampard immediately backed away and opened the distance to Mendieta. Ashley Cole came up and served the sideline directly to Lampard.
Mendieta and Belleron immediately came to grab him, Lampard passed diagonally back to the side, Ashley Cole stepped forward and launched a counterattack. At the same time, Lampard retreated to ensure this side of the defensive zone The security of Ashley Cole can also provide a backhaul point for Ashley Cole when his progress is blocked.
Ashley Cole only took two steps to pass the ball to the midfield. Beckham, who struck the meteor forward, received the ball, observed the situation in the frontcourt, and then went straight over the top.
Husky and McManaman seem to have overlapping running positions. Both of them attack the left side of the penalty area. This is also the offensive end Aldridge's request. The striker and the front waist can press a little at the same time and attack strongly. If the defender does not come to assist defense, then 2 hits 1 or 2 hits 2 have an advantage forward. If another opponent's center defender comes to assist defense, then the other side will be free.
The pass was deep and the pass was deep. Husky couldn't catch up, but McManaman shook off the opponent's central defender and received the ball just after entering the penalty area line, but because he stopped the ball, he slowed down. Obviously unable to start to form a single-handedly, at the same time, another central defender has rushed towards him, McManaman passed the ball to the other side.
Scholes hit the ball and took a step while catching the ball, but this time he adjusted well, shot with his right foot, and the ball flew into the goal cleanly.
Casillas threw the ball, but his strength was too great. After touching his finger, he didn't change the flight path of the ball too much.
"Eight minutes into the second half, England led Spain 2-0 away! Beckham launched a quick counterattack in the midfield and found McManaman with a long pass. The latter assisted Scholes to break the goal. Today's England is easy to play And it is efficient. Both goals reflect the speed of the counterattack. Hall’s national team debut is satisfactory so far. At least from the scene, England does not lose to the opponent, the number of shots The number of dangerous offenses is higher than that of Spain at home, which gives us reason to expect the England team led by Hall to do something in the future!"
The England team ran to the corner flag to hug Scholes. They laughed unscrupulously. Today's game made them feel at ease and extremely happy.
Aldridge still clapped and lost his hands behind him. The friendly match was nothing exciting. Moreover, his opponent Spain didn't give a face, and he stumbled.
However, the team's performance is commendable, but the distance grinding into a combined type, really to achieve the offensive and defensive free, there is a long way to go.
