665 Regaining control of destiny
Thanks to the tips of "Death of the Thief", "2O2O26", and "Seven Jiro in One Night"! ――
From the beginning of the game, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole did their defensive duties in midfield and on the left side of the midfield respectively, they did not come forward to assist, and Lampard still had the task of planning, and was generally relatively idle.
While the game is going on, the two must be mentally focused, which is just the basic requirement, and at the same time, they also have to think and analyze the shape of the front court.
With Becky on the right, Paul Scholes in the middle and McManaman on the left, each attracting more than one defender, Lampard realised that Aldridge's pre-match tactics were starting to work.
He waved at Ashley Cole, who nodded heavily when he saw it.
Suddenly, Finland seemed to have found a way to restrain England's attack, Beckham lost the ball under the entanglement of the opponent, Scholes passed the ball to Owen unsuccessfully, and within 5 minutes, England's attack in front of the penalty area twice failed to form a shooting chance.
Finland has been even more determined in this adjusted defensive strategy.
Just when the Finns thought they were at ease, England launched a wave of attacks they did not expect.
Litmanen received a long pass in the front court, Ferdinand stood in a position to clear the ball with a header, Bart passed the ball to Scholes who retreated after controlling the second landing point, ginger turned around with the ball, and played a one-two with Xiaobei, Finland focused on defending him, and Scholes now has little space in front of him. So he retreated and continued to control the ball.
McManaman moved to the left in front of the penalty area. Scholes deliberately made another exchange of passes with Becky. Xun then transferred the ball to McManaman.
When McManaman received the ball, the Finnish player quickly defended him, but McManaman got out of the space on the spot, suddenly knocked the ball to the bottom line of the penalty area on the same side, and hit the back of the Finnish defender.
The Finnish team didn't expect Ashley Cole to suddenly come up, and as soon as he came up, he went straight to the bottom line. It's like being in a no-man's land.
Ashley Cole was in no hurry to cross, dribbling the ball along the bottom line to the direction of the goal, the Finnish backline was shocked, three defenders rushed towards Ashley Cole from different directions, and at the last moment, Ashley Cole knocked the ball back to the top of the arc of the penalty area, where the defense was completely empty, and Scholes cut forward to take away the defenders.
Frank Lampard slaps the horse!
Frank Lampard was looking for a shot from distance, but he noticed his team-mate's movement and pounced on the Finnish defender in his direction. Frank Lampard slashes the ball in front of the right.
Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard. Twice in a row suddenly transferred the ball, and the Finnish defenders couldn't keep up with it.
Becky slotted in from Frank Lampard in front of the right and was already on his own after receiving the ball, but he was just a little closer to the goalkeeper.
The air in Anfield seemed to freeze.
Everyone knows how huge the impact this game will have on the fate of both teams, and a goal that breaks the wilderness is worth a thousand dollars.
Becky didn't have to show off what a gorgeous curling ball his golden right foot could shoot at the moment, it was so close, and the Finnish goalkeeper didn't react when he simply and brutally volleyed into the top corner of the net, hitting the top net and bouncing off the turf of the goal.
Anfield bursts out with the passion that this stadium should have!
The mountains shouted like a tsunami, and countless figures in the stands stood up and waved their arms at the same time, the scene was spectacular!
"England have scored! David Beckham! It was a goal of gold! This goal temporarily overtook Finland in the standings, and we have played one game less than their opponents! Hold on to this win and England will at least qualify for the play-offs! This goal must be praised by Ashley Cole and Frank Lampard, who should have provided the assist earlier! Ashley Cole runs down the line, Frank Lampard's clever pass in front of the penalty area, and Beckham finally hammers it out! Hopefully England will continue to do so. ”
After scoring a goal, Becky also symbolically ran wildly to celebrate, coming to the corner flag area with open arms and a charming smile on his face.
Other teammates also ran to celebrate.
Aldridge was on the sidelines but only applauded and never laughed.
It's a showdown!
The game is not over, he can't laugh, I have to say that in the position of the coach of the England national team, he is actually walking on thin ice in his heart, not reluctant to this position, but always worried that the England team will drop the chain.
To put it bluntly, in fact, he has only been with most of the players for a short time, and the information he understands is also obtained from external observations.
Playing positional warfare today, Aldridge thought about it, rather than playing 6o minutes step by step and possibly still in a stalemate and fighting, it is better to use 3o minutes for tactical cover, after all, the shortcomings of positional warfare are very large, and there are many advantages that cannot be waved, such as England's lack of reliable high school forwards, Husky is tall and mighty, and the ability to grasp opportunities can make Aldridge burst into tears.
So Aldridge can only do a tactical cover on the basis of not changing the tactical framework.
Becky and Neville's strong attack on the right side, Scholes's frequent forward insertion into the penalty area, McManaman's threat on the left side, can score in the first 30 minutes, then it is considered to be a lottery, can not score, as long as a little threat is played once or twice, Finland will sound the alarm, and then strengthen the limit.
From a global perspective, this is also England's shortcoming, precisely because the England national team does not have a player like Xiao Luo who can attract 2 or 3 defenders of the opponent and pass the ball out, so it is necessary to create such an effect from a tactical height.
After the England players celebrated, Aldridge gestured quickly on the sidelines and called Becky in front of him.
Just scored a goal, Xiaobei was very excited, but saw Aldrich's strict expression. Wake up immediately. Without waiting for Aldridge to speak, he said, "Coach." Then I know what to do, as you said before the game, when you take the lead, you change back to the tactics that we are familiar with. ”
Aldridge stopped emphasizing when he heard Xiaobei say this, patted him on the shoulder and said: "David, you are the vice captain of the team, you must play a certain leadership role on the field, and lead the team to today's important victory." If your current teammates don't play the way they were told before the game, you have to remind them and even ask them harshly. ”
Becky nodded heavily, then ran back to the court, and took the initiative to communicate with McManaman and Scholes before kick-off.
In fact, the most important thing is the competition posture of the three of them, if they do not take it back and return to the original 4321 position, the three lines are easy to disconnect. With Gareth Southgate at the back, Aldridge's 'holy will' will surely be best executed. Frank Lampard is Aldridge's soldier and that's fine.
This conceded goal was a very big blow to Finland, and the shape shì changed dramatically after this conceded goal.
If Finland loses this game, qualification for the play-offs will be slim!
Unless England lose two games in a row, Finland will have to beat Greece, even if they draw with Greece and England lose two in a row, they will not be able to finish second in the group because England have a much better goal difference than them.
Competitions have been made easy.
Finland has to attack, they have to score, and if they don't score, they have to die.
England played Aldridge's 4321, which was close to a year after the build-up, and after Finland's attack, England's unpredictable and frantic counterattack became a huge threat.
In first-half stoppage time, Becky instigated an attack with a long pass from the back during the counterattack, McManaman got the ball and knocked it back to Lampard, and Lampard passed to Scholes, who made a through ball and handed the ball to McManaman, but after a triangle pass, McManaman had turned and broke through the gap between the opponent's full-back and central defender.
After dribbling into the box, McManaman crossed in front of goal, and Owen slotted the ball straight into the net from a tight angle at the front of the goal.
“2:o! England team's beautiful counterattack, Owen completed the final blow, good shot! When Finland started attacking, their defence became more open and England had more room to fight back, which was exactly what England wanted to see, and now, England got their wish and took a two-goal lead! ”
Aldridge calmed down a lot now, and shook his fist.
Seeing Owen score, it's impossible not to admit that Owen is a top scorer, well, a pure goalscorer.
For such a pure shooter, counterattack is the most suitable stage for swinging, and he has two biggest advantages in running position and archery.
In the first half, England 2:o Finland.
This has basically laid the final result of the game, the strength of the Finnish team is limited, no matter how often it swings, it is impossible to play at a first-class level, not to mention that England is still a defensive posture, as long as it is not self-destructing the Great Wall, the victory has fallen into the pocket.
The second half was not out of Aldridge's control.
Finland fought back frantically, but the defence was in full swing as England counter-attacked again and again.
When Paul Scholes scored England's fourth goal in the 73rd minute, Finland accepted reality and gave up on the onslaught.
Aldridge brought Paul Scholes and Owen off to rest and they will be visiting Germany in a week's time to avoid over-exertion, while England are also focusing on saving energy, slowing down the tempo on the pitch and consciously consuming game time.
When full-time was over, Anfield erupted in thunderous applause.
England swept Finland 4:o, accumulating 13 points from six games, ranking second in the group, with two games left in the group stage of the World Preliminary Championships.
"There is good news from another field, the German team was held to a draw by Greece in Athens! In this way, the German team has 14 points in 6 games, 4 wins and 2 draws, and England has 13 points in 6 games, only 1 point behind Germany, and the next game with the German team, if the England team can win, England will have the opportunity to directly qualify for next year's World Cup as the first in the group, even if it is a draw, there is still a chance in the final round, although the hope is very slim, the last game of the German team is against Albania. ”
The fans and players at the scene were the first to learn about the results of the match between Greece and Germany, and everyone was excited, and the applause of the fans became even more enthusiastic.
When Aldridge took over the national team, not only ranked second from the bottom of the world preliminary group, but also the team's morale fell to the bottom, in less than a year, the England team climbed to the second place in the standings with four consecutive wins, killed Greece and Finland, and at the same time narrowed the gap with Germany to 1 point, regaining control of its own destiny, whether it can directly qualify for the World Cup finals, it depends on the next Anglo-German battle in Munich, which will be a revenge battle for England!
Aldrich was overjoyed when he heard the news that Germany had been drawn by Greece.
The good thing is that Germany has planted, and the sad thing is that Greece is under the leadership of Rehhagel, and the technical and tactical style is changing dramatically, and England's last game is to face Greece without desire! (To be continued......)
