The time calculation of football matches is different from that of basketball and rugby matches, and only the effective time of the game is calculated for basketball and rugby.

A 90-minute football game usually has a valid time of about 60 minutes, and the longer the effective time, the higher the quality of the game.

So where does all the invalid time go?

The player is injured, the time is passing, but the game is not playing, the player takes a set-piece, and grinding and chirping is also invalid time.

The ball is out of the sideline, one side opens the sideline ball, the fast 3-5 seconds to complete, the slow 10 seconds to 20 seconds are possible, the average is 10 seconds, a game of the ball out of the sideline 30 times, this is 300 seconds of time becomes invalid, that is, 5 minutes, counting other similar ones, the invalid time accumulates a lot.

So Americans are not fanatical about football, and there is also this factor, even if an NBA game actually starts to the end, before and after the pause, fouls, replay videos, rests, etc., the time consumption often adds up to more than 3 hours, but Americans still like it, on the one hand, because basketball has an offensive time limit, you must attack, on the other hand, basketball game time is effective, and football is the same.

Therefore, in the future, UEFA and FIFA will advocate the issue of improving the effective time of the game, but this depends on the efforts of both sides of the game.

Today, the Czech Republic and England should be called exemplary.

They don't stall for fear that a fleeting opportunity to attack slips away from them.

The two teams played attacking football, and it wasn't just attacking and not defending.

This makes the game very nice to watch and both teams play fast. And because of the offensive investment. The speed of the return defense cannot keep up with the speed of the opponent's attack. It turned into a tug-of-war between offense and defense in the front and back courts.

Aldridge and Brückner both wanted to walk in front of each other and shake hands again.

The two actually coincided with each other.

Aldridge is a righteous soldier, the England team has more rest time than the Czech team, and the physical fitness should be better, so use fast attack and super fast conversion rate to drag down the Czech team, so that the Czech team is disjointed and collapsed!

He had expected Brückner to at least keep the Czechs stable. Be patient and look for opportunities.

Unexpectedly, Brückner actually thought the same as him!

At the moment, Brückner was a little caught off guard.

England's opening stance made him hate Fleet Street.

What was England's perfect defeat to Greece in the last game, blown by Fleet Street?

"A whole new philosophy was born in the hands of Sir Hall!"

"Greece had zero shots on goal, England made history, and no team in the world could resist playing like this!"

"Sir Hall has applied psychological warfare to his tactics and tactics, and the Three Lions are just around the corner to win the European Championship, and we will witness a historic moment!"

"This will be a new direction for the development of modern football!"

Damn Fleet Street held England to the fore, and Brückner watched England's match against Greece four times!

He was thinking about how to break the England team's attacking pattern of losing possession and then attacking suddenly.

His wrinkles deepened, considering that the Czechs had less rest than the opposition. He was afraid that the England team would repeat the old tricks and consume the Czech team!

So today I have to take the initiative to speed up the tempo and make the England team panic. They can't keep the ball in their composure.

They need to pick up the tempo in attack, drop back and delay the opposition when defending, and then recuperate and respite before moving on to the next round.

However, the England team is not a way to play at all to keep up with the last game!

The pace of the game was unimaginably fast, and then, it collapsed!

Neither team was able to control such a fast-paced game, and it became impossible for everyone to play their ideal design tactics!

That's the back-row offense.

The Czechs are very motivated to defend in midfield, and so are England.

Everyone is pursuing a fast attack forward, and after defending it, they can not play backwards, but the speed of retreat is always unable to keep up with the speed of the opponent's attack.

But the problem is that the midfielders can't keep up with the fastest advance to the front line!

It's like Becky, Nedved attacked and he retreated, and when he attacked, Owen got the ball, he ran forward from the backcourt, just after halftime, and the back row was not uncontacted, but if more adjustments were made, the offensive situation of not having many defenders in front of him would disappear.

Owen, Gerrard, Jan Kohler, Barosh, these four of them took the opportunity to shoot, and the midfielders of the two teams shuttled back and forth in B2B, most of them were doing defense and strategy, and it was too difficult to really form an offensive threat.

"Barosh shoots in the box! Shot missed! ”

'Gerrard stopped the ball and shook off Galasek, a shot on the edge of the penalty area, Cech made a save to block the ball, and the angle of the ball was not too good!'

The two teams went back and forth, and a total of 11 shots were completed in the first 20 minutes!

The situation on the field is maintained in a delicate balance.

Both teams were able to shoot on goal, but they didn't have a great chance to get off the ground, and it looked like they might have to rely on a burst of action at some point.

The game was almost "out of control", and although the crowd probably couldn't see it, Aldridge and Brückner could feel the mystery in it, which made it difficult for them as managers.

It's like knowing that punching out with his left hand is a feint, relying on the dagger he holds in his right hand hidden behind his back, but he just doesn't have a chance to see the dagger!

However, Aldrich is still very calm and composed.

The scene opens and closes, and the confrontation is subtle.

The Dragons Stadium roared and every shot was filled with cheers or sighs from the fans, followed by thunderous applause.

Aldridge's composure is that England can take the initiative to upset the balance.

The initiative of the scene is still in the hands of England.

Is it the active attack slowdown?

No!

It can't be like that!

Strategically, England have a physical advantage if they slow down the tempo. You can't take advantage of that.

The reason is. Greece are likely to have a hard time stealing the ball from England. The Czechs are slightly more relaxed, which is determined by the strength on paper and the ability of the players themselves.

Therefore, the speed cannot be reduced.

Regardless of whether Brückner wants to finish the game or succeed in the blitzkrieg and then defend, England cannot afford to slow down at any time.

They have to maintain the rhythm of the game, and if the Czechs want to be slow, then they will rush to the opponent and force the opponent to speed up!

And in this delicate balance situation, England can upset the balance. It's Ashley Cole!

England's wide attack can achieve a balance, it is a mismatch of attack and defense, the right side is based on his own position in front of Becky, the left side is on the left side of the full-back Ashley Cole, and Gary Neville is a little bit focused on defense.

And the Greek team was able to maintain a balanced situation with the England team, relying on the two defenders to press and assist frantically!

Ashley Cole has been a regular full-back for the first 20 minutes, mainly on the defensive end.

The Czechs attacked from the flanks and were more powerful on the left, there is no doubt about it. Nedved and Jankulovski misplaced in the left half of the two-track inside and outside the attack, successfully suppressed Becky and Gary Neville. Becky has good physical fitness, but Becky's speed is not fast, so Nedved can suppress Becky.

But the hidden danger on this side of the Czech team is that when Jankulovski assists and can't come back, Gerrard will run to the right in response to the attack, and he will not be stared at to death!

So England were able to hit a couple of shots on goal.

However, the attack on the left side is almost paralyzed, specifically on the left side, Ashley Cole does not go up, and Lampard prefers to take the attacking routine of the middle in front of the penalty area, so the England team's attack is almost concentrated in the middle and the right side, and the space on the left side is not well used.

In the 25th minute, Aldridge made a gesture and let Ashley Cole boldly assist!

Aldridge firmly believes in the team he has coached, he will never expose all the attacking points at once like the Czech Republic, he likes to keep one hand, just in case, once it was one hand, now there will be more, before the war starts, he wants to lose first, he has to prepare a lot of counterattack means for the team in adversity.

In the 28th minute, the Czech team attacked in the front, Rosicky and Hargreaves are old acquaintances, the former plays for Dortmund, the latter plays for Bayern Munich, Rosicky's performance today is very average, may be a lack of experience in the competition, he was also arranged in the left midfield in the group stage, that is, now Nedved's position, but the table is not satisfactory, so Brückner let Rosicky return to the forward position he is good at, and Nedved's position is retreated to ensure the quality of attack and defense in the midfield.

In the confrontation with Hargreaves, Rosicky did not take advantage, and this time he was successfully broken by Hargreaves!

The Czech team failed to attack!

England team from defense to attack!

Hargreaves stabbed the ball past Paul Scholes before Poboski did, who quickly forwarded to the left before Nedved could press wildly, and Lampard dribbled forward!

In front of Lampard, there were only Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen.

However, behind him, Ashley Cole rushed forward at great speed, and the parallel position had already surpassed Poboski, and Grigra, who had just come up with the assist, was very close to Lampard and was chasing Lampard at this time, not noticing Ashley Cole's advance.

Frank Lampard didn't stick to the ball and passed the ball directly to Owen before reaching the front line, Owen, who was ordered to pass the ball by Aldridge from the first day in charge, and he directly knocked the ball across the left wing, which was a wonderful pass!

Gave Ashley Cole a head forward in advance.

The offense was immediately clear.

Ashley Cole pressed on the side, won the ball and turned inside, Grigra dropped back to block, Lampard looked for space in front of the box, Ashley Cole crossed the ball, Galasek came to block, Lampard crossed the ball and then ran away.

He switched positions with Steven Gerrard, who switched in to Frank Lampard's place and then sent a diagonal ball through.

Frank Lampard slotted into the box and broke through the Czech Republic's back line!

This is a golden opportunity!

Petr Cech walks out of the door!

Frank Lampard was less than 10 yards away from Petr Cech and he had a shot on goal and it was volleyed!

Petr Cech was still very steady, didn't take the initiative to save, and Frank Lampard volleyed into the near corner of the net to send the ball from the ground from a tight angle!

Petr Cech subconsciously lowered his center of gravity and stretched his leg to block, and actually blocked the ball!

'Frank Lampard missed a must-score opportunity! Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech is brilliant! The young goalkeeper never panics, and his poised appearance led him to sign Premier League upstart Chelsea earlier this month, and next season, he will play in the Premier League, which is extremely competitive!
