398 Descendants of the Red Rebels
England's big win over Northern Ireland was generally praised by the media, after all, England really needed a win at this time.
But there are still a number of authoritative media outlets that are conducting in-depth analyses that they hope to use to help England with their analyses, even though they may not sound so pleasant.
Martin? Samuel pointed out in his column that England's victory was a Red Rebel victory, but the last half hour was an England-style defeat.
"Our players may have been through countless Premier League matches and have a lot of experience, but their football IQ is clearly not enough to play the ball control, and this is vividly reflected in the last half hour, when Beckham tried to control the situation, the players blindly bombarded and lacked efficiency!
In the last half hour, there was an interesting scene on the pitch, that is, when the ball passed back and forth between Beckham, Curtis and Terry, the ball was firmly controlled, but once it was out of the feet of these three players, the ball must be lost without two passes.
It's a very interesting phenomenon because everybody knows it's hard to get it back after losing a goal, but our internationals are putting control of the ball at the feet of their opponents. ”
'We should be thankful that we are against Northern Ireland, a bad team, but what if we are against Spain, Portugal, even Brazil or Argentina? Do the so-called professionals who preach that England have the ability to win the World Cup think that the opponents we have faced on our way to winning the World Cup are the likes of Northern Ireland? ”
Martin? Samuel's criticism also represents the criticism of the England national team by some professionals, who generally believe that the most important thing for England is to find their own tactical style of play first.
In the past, the England national team was the same 442 tactic, but this set of tactics has been proven countless times to be unsuitable for the development trend of modern football, because modern football is more and more focused on midfield control.
Look at this season's Premier League, Arsenal at the top of the list is playing 4231, and the double back is Gilberto? Silva and Vieira; Manchester United, who are second in the league, have a strategy that moves back and forth between 4141 and 433, but no matter how it changes, the midfield basically remains five-man.
Needless to say, the Red Rebels have been playing a five-midfield configuration since the lower leagues, which is also considered to be a clear proof that the Red Rebels were the first to perceive the development trend of today's football, and at the same time, the Red Rebels have been upgraded every year.
After Liverpool took over Benitez, Bei Bald transplanted Valencia's set to Liverpool, playing 433 tactics, and the two forwards frequently retreated to respond, so the midfield basically maintained a five-man configuration.
On the other hand, the traditional Premier League teams accustomed to 442, such as Ashton Villa, Newcastle, Blackburn Rovers and Tottenham, have not performed satisfactorily this season, especially Newcastle and Blackburn, which are currently even close to the relegation zone.
"It should be said that England's stubborn 442 has quietly fallen behind, and now football pays more attention to midfield control and suppression, and the midfielder wins the world, and the England national team should follow this trend and find a complete and mature tactical play as soon as possible, otherwise, even if it wins the opponent in the next qualifiers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve satisfactory results in the World Cup!"
Except for Martin? In addition to Samuel, the Times, The Guardian and many other authoritative media have also commented, and they have also put forward their own opinions on this game.
Everyone agrees that the first 60 minutes directed by David Beckham after returning to the national team were absolutely world-class, the pinnacle of England's performance in recent years, both in terms of field control and offensive and defensive fluidity, it is absolutely a classic.
However, in the last 30 minutes, it was clear that the players were blinded by the big win, causing them to see the situation on the pitch clearly, which made them completely lose their tactical discipline on the field and play on their own.
'David Beckham was the man of the game, he put on a world-class performance for the fans, and even though he couldn't score himself, he was in peak form to show everyone that the explosion and ripple effect of his return to the middle of the pitch was that what Eriksen had to do next was simple, to further establish Beckham at the heart of the game!'
Compared with the media hype about his wonderful performance in the World Cup qualifiers, Beckham was very low-key, he said in an interview with the media that he did not think too much, the first 60 minutes and the next 30 minutes belonged to the same game, and the most important thing was that England won a precious victory.
"My position on the pitch and my responsibilities?" When Beckham faced the reporter's question, he shook his head with a smile and said: "I have never worried about this, I will only listen to Coach Eriksen's arrangement and arrangement, I have never wanted to make myself the most special one in the team, never!" ”
"Then what do you think of Curtis's replacement of Ferdinand as the main player?"
'Curtis is an incredible lad, he's always driven and energetic on the pitch, and John, he's also a very solid youngster, both of them have the quality to play in the national team, and they're the best partners for the club, but Leo is also a fantastic superstar who has proven himself on any occasion.
"Then who do you think is more capable of playing the main force?" The reporter was clearly not very happy with Beckham's Tai Chi pusher.
"Anyone can do it!" Beckham replied with a smile.
The same answer came from Terry, Curtis and Ferdinand!
If you want to talk about strength, Terry and Ferdinand undoubtedly have the advantage, Curtis is young, although he has already played the main team in the Red Rebels, but he is not stable enough, after all, he is only 19 years old.
But Curtis has some things that Ferdinand doesn't have, such as his tacit understanding with John Terry, which was on full display in the final 30 minutes against Northern Ireland; In addition, his tacit cooperation with Beckham can also make Beckham more active in the organization and attack.
The competition for three centre-backs, plus Ledley from Tottenham? King, Newcastle's Woodgate, Arsenal's Campbell and several other Premier League centre-backs have been reduced to competing for a fourth centre-back spot.
…………………… The Red Rebels have not had too many England internationals in other positions, apart from two young, but powerful centre-backs and Beckham's playmaking midfielder.
There are currently five England players in the Red Rebels' first team, Ismael and Michael? Johnson is still young, although they have also been selected for England's youth team. Johnson is still the captain, but he is still some way from being selected for the England national team, especially Michael? Johnson.
In the middle of the midfield, England can be said to be full of talent, Gerrard and Lampard not to mention, Joe? Corer, Barry, who switched from left wing-back to midfield, Hargreaves, Carrick and other powerful stars are also strong contenders for this position.
Michael, known as the new Gerald? Johnson can be said to be a star cultivated in the Red Rebels' academy system, with a large running range, good interception and tackling ability, good defense, strong attacking in the back row, long-range shots and free kicks are good at it, and he also has a strong ability to organize and control the pace of the game.
Some people say that he can take over Beckham's class, and others say that he will mature and stabilize in a few years, and he can form a duo with Beckham, but in any case, at least until the 2006 World Cup, he does not have the ability to play in the national team.
On the contrary, Ismael, when Huskey was not valued by Eriksen and Crouch's performance was inconsistent, the young player of the Red Rebels showed strong strength and potential, and also performed eye-catching in the England youth team. Johnson has a better chance of being selected for the national team early.
Ismael is characterized by speed, explosiveness, technical refinement, tall but flexible, strong physicality, excellent headers, strong shooting ability, and a powerful free-kick skill, but his shortcomings are his youth and lack of game experience.
With Mourinho's emphasis on him this season, he has already started in the League Cup, made many substitute appearances in the league and Champions League, and also started a few times, and his performances have been quite good, especially in the penalty area, and he is known as a technically enhanced version of Drogba, which is very eye-catching.
In addition to these five players in the first team, several players from the Red Rebels' youth team have also been selected for England's national team of all ages, such as Joe? Hart, Maika? Richards also played as a regular for De Roysden and performed well, and was also selected for the England youth team.
Theo Walcott, Rodwell and Wilshere were promoted to England's Under-15 squad with the Reds a trio of players who were the focus of the Red Rebels, both technically and otherwise, who were clearly better than their English peers, even in the older Under-15s.
This group of players has been hailed as a gift for England's 2010 World Cup and even the 2014 World Cup, and by that time, England's youth program will begin to bear fruit.
…………………… Two days after England's crucial victory, the Red Rebels suffered another depressed draw of the season, being held to a 1-1 draw away from Norwich, and were left in Manchester because Beckham was physically unable to meet the requirements for the English national team to play the full game.
Cesc Fabregas, who started in place of David Beckham, was average, and the young man looked restrained by Norwich's near-lethal style of play, and although Kaka scored for his side just before half-time, Norwich took advantage of a mistake by the Red Rebels to score from a set-piece early in the second half.
After Mourinho boldly replaced Ismail, Messi and others, and launched a crazy attack on Norwich, although the team did create a lot of chances, but the goddess of luck still did not favor the Red Rebels after all, and the goal was disallowed 3 times in the game, and 3 controversial offside decisions are enough to prove this.
1-1, the Red Rebels received their second draw of the season, but Arsenal were held to a draw at home by West Bromwich Albion, and Manchester United and Chelsea won successively, which made the Red Rebels drop to third in the table, and Chelsea behind them have caught up.
The only good news is that the Red Rebels' unbeaten run stands at 52 games, just six games away from the 58-game unbeaten record set by Fabio Capello at AC Milan!
In the Champions League has been determined in advance to qualify for the first place in the group, Mourinho is determined to win as much as possible in the league, especially in the away game against Manchester United on December 4, which is the attention and expectation of countless fans.
