Thank you for the reward of "Thief Death" and "Lustful Gentleman Long Qiyun"! ——

In just a few days of training for the England national team, the team has established a good atmosphere, competitive sports, after all, is based on the record, the record is good, the probability of chaos in the overall situation is not large, on the contrary, it is possible to break out a series of negative events, the England national team ushered in the Aldridge era to set sail again, at this stage, everything seems to be thriving.

With a friendly against Spain fast approaching, Fleet Street is focused on this match.

The new national team under Aldridge feels very young, except for the old goalkeeper Seaman and captain Southgate, the other players in the team are all under the age of 30, the starting lineup speculated by the media is not far from ten, and the players on the field are all in their playing years, which is very exciting, of course, they guessed the wrong left full-back, thinking that Aldridge will still use Phil Neville.

Before leaving for Spain, Aldridge gave an interview, and when talking about the friendly match, he said lightly: "It's just a friendly game, I want to see the team's mental outlook, competitive state, that's all, win or lose, it doesn't matter." ”

The young marshal's remarks made Fleet Street not buy it.

Why did you become the coach of the national team and start to clamp your tail and behave?

Isn't this statement a way out for yourself?

As a result, the Fleet Street reporters drilled into the horns, a bit to force Aldrich into a desperate situation, forcing him to fight against the water, and proclaimed the Three Lions' will to fight in a high-profile manner: must win!

Journalists have suggested that the friendly has a direct impact on England's FIFA points. If not taken seriously. It is likely to affect the draw for the World Cup in England and the like.

Aldrich was confused. Puzzled, he asked rhetorically: "England's current situation, it shouldn't be the turn to talk about the World Cup, right?" ”

Whether or not you can play the World Cup is still a big question, and now you will consider FIFA points, which is unfounded.

Originally, the media wanted to give Aldridge a face, but the leader of the Three Lions did not have the slightest awareness, how could the glorious England national team be so low-key?

Now, Fleet Street simply doesn't talk about friendly matches. Turned over old accounts.

Questioned about Aldridge's recruitment of members of the national team, the reuse of Millwall-based players, and if you count your fingers, players with Millwall backgrounds or history occupy half of the national team, reporters pretend to worry about whether Aldridge will be as nepotistic as Keegan.

Aldrich is fed up with their groundless accusations, and in terms of recruitment, the media said a few days ago that Aldrich has the capacity to accommodate people and appoint talents.

An example of this is his recruitment of Alan Smith, who had been in direct conflict with him, and this magnificence has been described as gentlemanly.

Aldrich walked away.

The news published on Fleet Street the next day was mostly pessimistic.

It is believed that Aldridge will lead the team to Spain this time. Training is indeed training, but it is likely to return from a rout. And the excuse, Aldridge has already found it before the game: the victory or defeat of the friendly match does not matter!

Who is the opponent?

O Spain!

Compared to history, England should be better than Spain now, Spain has only won one European Cup in 64 years, and the best result in the World Cup is fourth, and England has won the World Cup.

But Spain had a great name at this time.

King!

Prefix: Qualifiers.

The king of the qualifiers!

In Europe, this acre of three-point land, the qualifier grouping, the first-class strong team encounters what San Marino, the French Islands and the like, a single game brushing 6 or 8 goals, it is normal.

But what about Spain?

Just over a year ago, Austria was able to score 9 goals in a single game!

In the just-concluded European Cup, in the qualifiers, Spain's offensive firepower was jaw-dropping, with 40+ goals!

Now in the World Cup qualifiers, Spain is also full of momentum, and the offensive firepower is a mess.

England contacted the friendly match, and also specifically found Spain, and it was away, isn't this a door-to-door death?

Fleet Street is pessimistic and bearish about the national team's trip to Spain.

Aldridge's mentality is neither happy nor sad, friendly matches, not to make a big fuss, the purpose is to train, find problems, correct problems, and let the team run in with actual combat.

Under Aldridge, the England national team dressed uniformly, and when they went out, they wore suits and leather shoes, and handsome guys flew to Valencia, Spain, but many English fans followed.

The Spanish national team's home stadium is not fixed at Wembley like England, but adopts the city where the stadium is located in turn, and this time, the Spanish national team's home stadium is arranged in Valencia's Mestalla.

After staying at the hotel and resting for the night, the next night, the Mestalla was full for the big match between Spain and England.

There are more than 10,000 English fans, they are more excited, no matter what the media writes, in short, the best coach in England is making his A-level debut, and it is natural to come to cheer for it.

Spanish fans are in the mood to watch the show.

England?

Isn't it awesome?

Our Spanish matadors are on the offensive, and it's a piece of cake to abuse you.

There is also that young marshal, coaching the club is indeed majestic, but the national team is two different things, today, I will give you a dismount!

When Aldridge entered the stadium, the English fans in the stands cheered and the Spanish fans made loud noises, just to drown out the opposition fans.

"It's strange that Hall is coaching the England national team, isn't he going to use Owen? Today he put Irving on the bench, and the starting lone forward was Heskey. ”

The on-site commentators from England were stunned.

England abandoned 442, they have nothing to say, they have played 442 for so many years, and they have not produced any decent results, give up and give up.

However, in this starting lineup, Irving was not seen. I saw it in the list of substitutes. This is puzzling.

If it weren't for the press conference, the reporters had a falling out. When Aldridge talks about friendly matches in detail, he will inform the outside world in advance that Owen will play as a substitute, after all, someone will definitely ask who will play the starter.

Speaking of his bad luck, Owen is the biggest card and the most goal-scoring striker.

Unfortunately, Aldridge didn't want to overdraw his fitness.

He's not even 21 years old!

But since his blockbuster at Liverpool, he has played almost all games without injuries and injuries, plus he has also been heavily used in the national team. How much rest does he have in a season?

Now, Aldridge can indeed use him, and it doesn't seem to have much impact, but this accumulated physical load will affect his future, frequent injuries, premature slippage from the peak, etc.

As much as possible, Aldridge can give Owen more time to rest, that's it. I also said hello to Owen during private communication, friendly matches. Just rest.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines and waited for the game to start, but when he saw the starting line-up of the Spanish national team, his eyes changed completely, and he looked at the Spanish national team coach in disbelief: Camacho.

Big brother Camacho, you're doing a miracle!

Tease me!

Aldridge suggested that the FA contact their opponents in friendlies, specifically looking for European powerhouses.

After finalizing Spain, he was satisfied.

The king of qualifiers, who can achieve the purpose of testing the team.

Especially Spain's oppressive offensive and unrestrained team, attacking fiercely, even if it abuses England, Aldridge doesn't care, he can more intuitively find the team's defensive problems, and then start to solve them.

He naturally wants to see Spain put on their strongest squad.

But who did Camacho get on today?

Albelda, Harvey, Joaquin, Vicente, Tristan

There is no denying that these players have quality, but they are by no means the main force of Spain right now, and they are not the strongest squad they can come up with.

Aldrich's expression became a little annoyed.

He thought of a possibility.

He hopes to use this game to practice and test his team's defence against Spain's stormy attack.

Spain, however, did not want to satisfy him.

Spain, a strong team known as the king of qualifiers, went to international competitions and stumbled in the group stage of the European Championship in the summer and finally broke through, and was immediately eliminated by the rising champion team France.

Camacho has also begun to revamp the team, fixing his Spanish team with a flamboyant attack, allowing the team to start balancing and bringing in more new players to test the results

England and Spain seem to think the same way, both want to use their opponents to train their troops, and as a result, it may be that neither side can do so.

Aldridge was depressed and came to play a friendly match, originally wanted to use the opponent's experience to practice leveling, good guy, the other party also planned to come, and also wanted to use England to practice.

The friendly match did not start, and Aldrich wanted to cry without tears.

By the time the game started, Spain's attack looked like it could be played with gusto.

Albelda defended in the middle, Xavi played, Joaquin and Vicente flew up the wings, and Raul and Tristan attacked in front.

England fans and commentators were also depressed after watching the game for five minutes.

What the hell is this!

The line of defense is so far back?

Grab it!

Pressing on the offense!

Vicente and Joaquin looked to be in the limelight on both flanks, but Aldridge was unfazed.

The two wingers are Millwall's men and have a pragmatic and concise style of play, and they have no problem getting away from breaking through when there is plenty of space, especially in the area between midfield and the first 35 yards in the box.

But as soon as they get into the first 35 yards of the box, they get caught up on the flanks.

Southgate was the busiest man on the pitch, but instead of running back and forth, he shouted hoarsely.

"David, grab him! Nicky, watch to follow, Frank, lean into the middle. ”

Southgate commanded the back three to keep a defensive distance and, when the timing was right, decisively began to intercept.

There are no immutable defensive requirements on the court, such as scrambling is very particular, what should I do if I go to grab alone and is over?

When to grab it?

A reasonable and appropriate time is to keep a proper distance from your teammates, even if you fail to tackle, you can ensure that you will not expose more space to your opponent, and at the same time, it can also create new opportunities for opponents to be tackled when they break away.

Beckham, Bart and Frank Lampard have teamed up for the first time in an official game, and the defensive understanding needs to be built up slowly, and Southgate's command will be crucial.

When Vicente picked up the ball on the left and got into the danger zone, he got caught in a double bag, Beckham kept his inside line and Neville was in no hurry to grab him and block his way.

Vicente either passed back or broke through, the Xavi connection point in the middle has been targeted by Scholes, and the contact point of the forward line, there is also Bart stuck in the line, and he is also waiting for an opportunity to support behind Xiaobei.

The ball is on the left side of Vicente's side, and on the other hand, it is easier to defend on the right side, so Southgate directs the back line to tilt towards Vicente's side, and if Spain attacks too much, then England will adjust accordingly, with three people doing lateral defending, and the individual movement distance is not so far.

At this moment, Aldrich nodded.

Spain's attacking group in the front field was cut by England through reasonable defensive positioning, and England defended the number of superior numbers. (To be continued......)
