Brazil won, settled the battle in 45 minutes, 3:0 in the first half, scored two more goals in the second half, used up all three substitutions in the 60th minute to rest the players, and then died down, the score of 5:0 was like a teaching game, making the Chinese team aware of the huge gap between them and the world's top teams.

Carlos, Ronaldo, and Rivaldo each made a contribution, and Ronaldo scored two shots and one pass, and became the MVP of the game, and he only played 55 minutes.

After the stunning debut of the 3R group, it continues to shock the world, the Trident everyone averages two goals per game, and has not played the whole game, such an attack firepower, who is not afraid?

Aldridge was surrounded by reporters as he left the Jeju World Cup stadium with his two sons, asking him what he thought of Brazil's tabletable, and he quickly left with diplomatic rhetoric.

His presence on the field to watch the game was interpreted by the outside world as an inspection of the opponent in advance.

Although Aldridge is indeed looking at the Brazilian team, who knows if and when they will meet?

However, when other managers are still racking their brains or gearing up for a life-and-death battle for the group qualification, the managers of the England team who are in the group of death have the leisure to watch the games of the other groups, which is worthy of special mention by the media.

The next day, half of the team will be on vacation, but Aldridge has to work and start preparing for the final game of the group stage, so he returned to Japan with his children that night.

Just as he was returning to Tokyo, there was a small upset in the other groups of the World Cup.

Tournament favourites Italy were beaten by Croatia in five minutes in their second group game, and the media said after the game that it had a direct impact on Nesta's injury and departure less than 25 minutes into the first half, while the future of the European seeds also looked a little hanging. The final round is a life-and-death battle. Quite unexpected.

The European media is going crazy.

England, who were in the Group of Death, qualified early.

Italy. Portugal, France, these teams that are obviously better in the group shape and should have no problem qualifying, but they are falling off the chain one by one

The next morning, Aldridge watched the players in the stadium in training camp and expected to be 12 players, but he saw Scholes instead. Youngster Becky, Frank Lampard, McManaman and other players appeared on the training ground wearing training vests.

Despite giving them a holiday, there are still people who want to stay and train here, which is a good sign and Aldridge doesn't discriminate and has a special opinion on the players who haven't given up on their holidays.

He divided the training into two groups, and the players who gave up the holidays to return to training went to the relaxed group ball training, except for regular runs and cheering, most of the other times were more relaxed and happy.

12 other players. The training will be carried out according to the normal preparation plan.

England have already qualified early, and the final game is not a matter of life or death. As long as there is no big rout, the first place in the group can't run, a bit of a routine, but this group of players are extremely serious in their preparations, obviously, most of them are very young, some are on the World Cup stage for the first time, such as Terry, Carrick, Mills, etc., most of them must still have a good performance, and strive to replace the main starters in the later games.

The good thing is that there is no pressure, they don't have to carry the pressure of the record to play, which helps to relieve the psychological pressure of the tournament.

For the next opponent Nigeria, the England team will definitely not be able to play the defensive back, so Aldridge talked to them more seriously in tactical training.

"Frontless tactics? Boss, what is this? What do I do? ”

Rooney suddenly heard Aldrich's arrangement, and suddenly became a little anxious.

No Front?

Will he still be able to play?

The teammates next to him smiled when they heard this, and in just half a month of getting along, everyone at least got familiar with Rooney and figured out how much strength this kid had.

He is not particularly amazing, but his basic skills are very solid, and his green face with freckles is easy to ignore, but he doesn't know that this sturdy young man's body has quite a good explosive power.

To put it bluntly, he is a small role with second-rate strength, but because he is too small and obscure, if he is ignored, he can have more room to play.

Aldridge pointed at Rooney and scolded with a smile: "I'm only halfway through my words, what's your name?" Did you play as a striker in the youth team for two years and only have the opponent's goal and defenders in front of you? Let me know clearly, Wu Feng is just a statement. ”

Rooney didn't care, at this time his newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, Aldridge was not really angry, just listening to the laughter of his teammates, you knew how relaxed the atmosphere was.

"So what formation do we play?"

"What exactly did you learn at the club? Did you listen carefully to the coach's guidance? Formation? What's the point? Come on, come on, see clearly, this is the starting formation, 451, your position is the forward midfielder, are you going to be in this area for the whole 90 minutes of the game, and you won't even go to other places? ”

Aldridge circled the forward area on the tactical board and questioned Rooney, who stopped talking, knowing that the more he talked, he would only be taught a lesson.

There are two different interpretations of the so-called no striker, one is the starting striker without a striker, such as Spain in the future, why is it called a striker? Because they can put out a set of starters who don't have a positive striker, but there will still be people in the arrow area, in the forward position.

The other is that there is no striker in the forward area, and the attack is based on the back row of the front waist, the midfielder, the second echelon in the original tradition, and even the third echelon suddenly attacked, at this point, the future Spain has also played out, inverted in the periphery, down, down, no one in the forward area, but upside down, the opponent is confused, and suddenly the midfielder or the side player cut inward, forming a fatal blow.

Aldridge's strikerless tactics are very different from those of Spain in the future, with a different football philosophy, Spain is about controlling the ball, and Aldridge is about defensive pressing.

This concept is ahead of its time, in the traditional concept, the control of the game, shaping, comes from the attack, and then there is the saying that the midfielder wins the world, that is, the midfield dominance.

Two years later, though. A new type of control and reinvention of the game is beginning to sprout. That's defense. Different from the traditional defense of successful backcourt and quick counterattack, people realize that Tongguò tough defense can also control the game and reshape the shape of the game, and the emergence of this kind of control is derived from the Greek mythology of Rehhagel, because Greece is not crazy to counterattack, but to patiently control the game. It's only when the grasp is high or when the opponent has obvious space that the full force is exerted, and that's where the idea of reshaping the game comes from.

And what Aldridge wants to use is not the Greek team's defensive control philosophy, because the opponent is Nigeria, what he wants to use is the development and extension of this defensive philosophy, on the basis of not controlling the ball and pressing, fighting for every inch of land on the court, and dominating the game in a rough way. It has created a seemingly chaotic but actually domineering dominance of the game, and has developed such a philosophy to a certain height. It's Simeone's Atletico Madrid.

"Guys, against Nigeria, it's a test for you because you need to accept some unfamiliar ideas, if you can play well, we will surprise Nigeria, even if it's a game that doesn't matter the big picture, we can still play and make the world blind to us, if you want to do that, in the next few days, try to meet my requirements."

The players' eyes lit up, it was a blessing to be able to start, they naturally wanted to be popular, to become famous or something, to hear Aldridge have a new idea about the game, they couldn't wait to listen, hoping to become Aldridge's tactical wonders.

"Why do I say no-blade tactics? Because on the surface, our starting striker will be Smith, but in reality, he is a midfielder. ”

As England prepare for their final group game, the second round of the other group stages of the World Cup is in full swing.

Portugal finally breathed a sigh of relief, the second game against Poland, the 4-goal victory made its last game worth looking forward to, but in the same round Taiji Tiger and the son of freedom shook hands, so that in the last game, Portugal will have a life-and-death battle with South Korea, and if you don't win, you will be out, in the end, there is still hope.

In the Japanese division, Japan knocked Russia down and promoted to the top of the group, and faced Tunisia, the weakest team in the same group, in the final round, and the road to promotion is bright, and the European Red Devils Belgium will start a life-and-death battle with Russia.

The final round of the group stage is about to begin, and the teams that have booked their return tickets will fight for glory, and those who still have hope of advancing will go all out.

The day before England's departure for Osaka, he attended the pre-match press conference as usual, talking about the final group game, and his mind was more relaxed, and he directly pointed out that he would give the substitutes a chance to play.

"England's participation in international competitions in the past is not very satisfactory, and it is related to the fact that England does not have a winter break, and the domestic schedule is intensive, taking Millwall as an example, last season, we had 38 games in the league, 17 in the Champions League, 7 in the League Cup, 7 in the FA Cup, 7 in the Super Cup, Toyota Cup, Charity Shield, a total of 72 official games, this is not counting the warm-up games, and the games played by various internationals to the national team, there is no rest time in between, and in the summer, the players will definitely be very tired, So we will use a qiē condition to give the players a rest, to ease the huge load on the body, and in the last game, the lads who have worked hard in the first two games should rest, and at the same time, we have some good young substitutes, they deserve to feel the atmosphere of the World Cup, to stand on this stage, to get some experience, which will be very helpful for them in the future. ”

"Does 16-year-old Wayne Rooney deserve that opportunity? He has no record of a professional competitive game, so shouldn't Vasseur be selected to learn from England's young strikers? ”

'I think Wayne Rooney's talent is special, it's top in England, you should be careful with young players, I've always believed in that, and tomorrow's game, it's a milestone game for Wayne Rooney, the first official game is a World Cup, it sounds incredible, but the situation is so that he doesn't have too much pressure, as I said, feeling the atmosphere and gaining experience is the most important thing.
