825 Dream back to 74 Munich in World War I!

England vs Argentina, this should be the most watched game in the group stage of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, not only the fans of the two teams around the world, but also the ghosts and snakes in the coaching circle.

Aldridge's tactical prowess is needless to say, Bielsa's Pampas Eagles have taken South America by storm, which is seen as a head-to-head confrontation of tacticians, and this game is enough to be expected by fellow coaches, trying to find outstanding skills and tactics, whether it is learning or appreciating, it is expected.

Fans and spectators will be anxious or disdainful of the silence of England in the first 10 minutes, but those in the circle will not, they know that the essence of the 90-minute game is only 20 minutes, 10 minutes, or even 5 minutes.

What tricks would a madman have to deal with England?

For the time being, it can not be seen that Argentina is in the same situation as the last game against Nigeria, once the opponent's defense line is behind, and the dense defense is laid in the danger area, Argentina only has a sense of immediacy that the crowd is outside, the ball is at the feet, but there is no exciting threat to attack.

On the contrary, it was England, from the 13th minute, the counterattack was strong, and the threat skyrocketed!

When a goal was blown out, Aldridge's appearance was very different from his time in the Premier League, and if he was in the Premier League or the Champions League, he would have to protest, talk to the fourth official, and even encourage the fans to put pressure on the referee.

But at the World Cup, he looked calm, as if Argentina's goal had been blown away.

First of all. Here in the World Cup. Whether it's a coach or a player. The pressure is enormous, and if Aldridge shows similar manic behavior on the sidelines, it will inevitably affect the players on the field, make them feel how wronged, and then lose their mentality.

Secondly, in the final analysis, putting pressure on the referee team is to seek justice and fairness.

Today's referee is the most authoritative and prestigious Golden Whistle Colina. If the referee team led by Corina favors Argentina, then the fairness of the football game will really go to the grave.

Finally, Aldridge's non-protest will also have a psychological hint to the referee team: England is obedient and obeys the referee's decision.

This is to brush up on the good feeling, to avoid the appearance of a really wronged penalty, the referee is also a human being, and he has a rod and scale in his heart.

Two minutes later, England launched another fast attack, this time with Beckham picking up the ball on the right side of the backfield and heading towards the bottom line on the right flank. McManaman showed up there and took possession of the ball. England's attack was once again in front of Argentina's back line in an instant.

Simeone, as a back midfielder, has to turn and retreat, not to mention the other teammates in front of him, all movements turn in unison, far can only wait and see, close as Sorin, the recovery distance also looks a little whipped.

McManaman took the ball down to the bottom, went to the baseline, and when he came to the baseline, he also attracted Plasente, and the opponent could not be unguarded, and McManaman had the same choice as before, controlling the ball and knocking back Scholes who came over to answer.

Scholes took another step forward with the ball, Owen also ran towards this side of the penalty area, Argentina's defense was not too chaotic, Simeone, Samuel, Pochettino, it looked like a 3-2 posture, but they obviously crowded towards the right side of the box.

Owen made a containment attraction, and Scholes rushed over to defend in the face of Simeone, but instead stopped the ball, pulled back, and then crossed to the left.

There was a lot of space on the other side, and the Argentine defense turned their heads to look, only to see Lampard come up, stop the ball, and there was enough vision and angle in front of him to hit the goal without interference, and two meters outside the penalty area, Lampard blasted a heavy shot!

There was an uproar.

Everyone saw the ball fly high above the crossbar, just a little, just a little, goalkeeper Caballero's save was not on point at all, if the ball was lower, it would have been scored.

Lampard held his head in regret, gritted his teeth and raised his hand to his team-mates as he turned back and ran back, feeling he had wasted a godsend.

Argentina had long-range shots, England also had long-range shots, but the threat was clearly not on one level.

Frank Lampard was closer to goal, he was undisturbed and had a better angle, while Argentina's long-range shot was more like trying to create a world wave.

Bielsa was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, England attacking twice, lightning fast, the routine was consistent, but very effective, and he was trying to figure out how to limit England.

It's not hard to restrict.

Argentina can take it back, or reduce the attacking commitment of Solin and Zanetti to avoid a void on the wings.

However, if it is really withdrawn like this, Argentina's third line will inevitably be disjointed, because the huge midfield, there is Veron in front, there is a Simeone in the back, and it is Simeone who is injured and not well, Argentina, the midfielder may not even be able to control the ball.

England are playing according to their established tactics, and it is a technical and tactical system that they have forged, honed, matured, and spent a year and a half forging.

As for Argentina, it seems that their technical and tactical system, weaknesses and flaws, are beginning to be clearly exposed.

"In just a few minutes, England's attacking prowess has been impressive, Andy, what do you think of McManaman's play today?"

"Unpredictable! He moves left and right, and seems to be erratic in his movements, but in key offensive positions, his shadow can always be seen, which plays a key role. ”

"No, no, no, it's predictable! Martin, Andy, still remember the last game against Sweden, McManaman was more active in the middle of the midfield, and used guò dribbling skills to disrupt the Swedish team's midfield defense, but today, he gave up the middle, he will appear in the winger position when England attack, and then through the guò side of the involvement, and then cooperate with Scholes in the middle, in the local containment of Argentina, quickly transfer the attack, this is the England team deliberately made an adjustment for Argentina! ”

Lineker did a good job of analyzing, and many of the football coaches watching the game in the stands and in front of the TV at this time also saw the changes in England's attack today.

In the last game against Sweden, he re-attacked the middle of the midfield, why? Because Sweden is conservative, the midfield tandem should ensure the success rate of passing, and naturally play short to ensure that the ball can reach the feet of McManaman, as for Xiaobei's occasional long pass behind him, it is a means of deterring and harassing the opponent's defense, and the simple and rough long pass over the top does not threaten.

Today's play Argentina, Argentina is the main attack, England is the back, there is space for the attack, secondly, the back three is responsible for the cross-section of 60 meters, the England team is using the width of the field, McManaman flickered left and right, and when instigating the attack, the medium and long distance passes become more, but also because the space becomes larger, the success rate is guaranteed.

McManaman is under Aldrich, and he really has a hard time!

This is the problem of the level of the players and the stage, like England in the past, even if they were given a 3R combination, they would be scrapped.

After another 3 minutes, Ashley Cole assisted, combined with McManaman on the left flank, Zanetti collided with Pochettino's defensive area in the chaseback, McManaman cut inside after Ashley Cole went down, received Ashley Cole's pass into the penalty area, and volleyed diagonally at the goal before Samuel intercepted!

Caballero blocked the ball and the ball that bounced out of the box was stopped by Paul Scholes, and Ginger headed a long-range shot, apparently aimed at the far corner on the other side of the goal.

The England fans were ready to get up and celebrate, but they heard disappointment.

Bang!

The ball hits the crossbar and bounces off the stands.

"England are out of luck! McManaman's shot from inside the box was blocked, but Scholes' long-range shot from outside the area hit the crossbar. ”

'England's momentum is up and Argentina are a bit overwhelmed, we have a very targeted attack, we have been playing a lot of dangerous attacks, and if we keep trying, we will be able to find the back of the net."

By this time, the English generals had become more and more courageous, and even if they hit the crossbar, they were not discouraged in the slightest.

Because in their eyes, Argentina's defense will definitely not be able to stop their fast attack.

Aldridge was unmoved, attacking opportunities were constantly created, and in his eyes, Argentina made a fatal mistake, a mistake like England back then, and on his first day in charge, the first thing he pointed out to his players was the weakness of England: space.

Obviously, he doesn't have the talent of "absolute creation power", but he wants to press up and attack, and he looks very fierce, but in fact, he exposes the vacancy behind his body for the opponent to use.

The current Argentina, that is, listening to the fierce, Bielsa claims that he is fusing Menottiism and Bilardoism, which is really a bit unreliable, and wants to integrate two completely polar football philosophies, which not only requires ambition and talent and perseverance, but also requires serendipity.

At this point, Spanish football has a great relationship with Argentine football, the players, the coaches, the style of football, all aspects are inextricably linked, and after a few years, Spain can be regarded as a fusion of these two football philosophies, because they play gorgeously, infinitely short passes with gorgeousness? They say they're utilitarian, but they're pressing and controlling the ball. Saying that they rely on the team, it seems to be true, but without the brain Xavi, the hero of the key moment, Andres Iniesta, you will find that without these two, Spain's team football has fallen to the mortal world.

Argentina's defense is unstable, everyone can see it, Argentina's bilateral midfielders, Sorin and Zanetti began to take the initiative to retreat, to avoid being unscrupulously used by the England team to take advantage of the gap in the back.

Seeing this change in Argentina, Aldrich's eyes suddenly became solemn, not worried about anything, but a kind of expectation.

Three minutes later, England's commentators and all the top coaches who followed the game were shocked by another storm of England's attack, and after witnessing the process, Lineker exclaimed: "Isn't McManaman Hall's killer weapon yet?" It's like reliving the '74 World Cup final! ”

England have played an attacking threat that has really shaken up the world of football today, with many of the top coaches in the hearts of the best!

Dream back to 74 Munich in World War I! (To be continued......)
