The national team had a day off, and the members of the national team adhered to the team rules set by Aldrich, and no player dared to appear in an entertainment place such as a nightclub and go home to rest in peace.

After returning to the Leo training base to start preparing for the World Cup qualifiers, the spirit of the whole team has changed, and the momentum is invigorated and energetic.

The friendly win over Spain didn't meet Aldridge's expectations, but the positive impact was immediate.

Training is relatively easy, maintaining the state is the mainstay, the national team is not like a club, although Aldridge feels that the players have room for transformation, but they will not train in a targeted manner when the national team trains, like Carragher, Aldridge wants him to play as a central defender as soon as possible, but this job should be done by Liverpool Club, the national team, there is no such environment, all year round, only train players for a few days.

At the end of the day's training, Aldridge kept Becky and Seaman behind.

The two players did not know why, and honestly stood in front of Aldridge and waited for instructions.

"David, how many free kicks can you take in a minute?"

Xiaobei thought for a while and replied, "Five, six." ”

Aldridge nodded and said: "In the future, the national team will train, and after training every day, you will practice 15 minutes of free kicks. Is there a problem? ”

Beckham agreed, but was a little confused.

He often practiced free-kicks at the club, or rather, it was he who worked hard since he began training to make him famous in the Beck arc.

He-Man naturally went to the goalkeeper, he thought he was just a sparring partner, at his age. Say the ability to rise again. Isn't that pure?

Aldridge set the distance for Beck's free-kick training. From 35 yards to around 40 yards, Boas was on the side to help set up the soccer ball and shoot from different angles.

When Beckham was about to start training to hit the goal with a direct free kick, Aldridge grabbed him, and Seaman was already standing in front of the goal.

"Coach, what else do you want to say?"

Xiaobei was confused, and suddenly came from the environment of the national team that he had already practiced free kicks alone. It's weird.

Aldridge whispered to him: "There is a requirement you have to remember, before you take a free kick, first observe the goalkeeper's position, if he is standing in front, you hang the door, just the hanging door, don't care about anything else, even if there is a better angle, choose the hanging door." If he stands in a reasonable position, then you can practice as you like. ”

Beckham was confused. He asked rhetorically, "Coach, does this have any meaning?" ”

Aldrich smiled incomprehensibly: "Plan ahead." ”

Xiaobei shook his head, and he was not interested in getting to the bottom of it, and he was right to practice.

Aldridge watched today's "special training" from the sidelines.

Heemann faced about 6,70 direct free-kicks, about 5 or 6 of them, he stood slightly forward, Becky lobbed on once and the rest flew away.

Aldridge never expects to change a player's playing habits in a few words, and the accumulation of training is the most reliable.

Seaman, the 02 World Cup was not guaranteed, and he was shocked by Xiao Luo, which made Xiao Luo's dazzling rainbow and made himself a sinner of the England national team.

Whether he can correct his shortcomings of standing high in the face of long-distance direct free-kicks, Aldridge will do his best to resign himself to fate and see the future effect, after all, his shortcomings have been caught by opponents in the Premier League.

I hope that Xiaobei's deliberate hanging door will deepen He-Man's impression again and again, so that he can be wary of it.

A few days later, the Albanian national team visited England.

As usual, Aldridge attended the press conference for less than a week, and his treatment was very different, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

And Aldrich has always told the truth, and today's big truth made Fleet Street mistakenly think that the young marshal was going to be high-profile.

"For tomorrow's game, we have only one goal: to win. None of the other results were acceptable. ”

That's right, that's what a Three Lions leader should be!

Except for winning, everything else is shit!

Aldrich is telling the truth, and it's nonsense!

England can't win Albania, the weakest team in the group, at home, why did they pass away in the World Cup? Oh no, can you still pass away the Lujie Cup?

The debut, well, Aldridge made another debut, a home debut for the national team.

Although the current situation in the group is not good for England, it is a good time for the team to be strong, playing at home, and the opponents are also weak.

Wembley, such a game with huge suspense of strength and weakness, England fans still flocked to the scene, and many FA officials also came to the scene, they couldn't be more satisfied with the current situation of the national team!

From the perspective of interests, Aldridge and his coaching staff are paid very low, after all, they work part-time.

But the return on the benefits brought by Aldrich is huge, and there are sponsors who go directly to the FA to hand over new sponsorship contracts!

Aldridge's image, the appeal it brings, combined with his legend as the youngest national team manager in history, can this not be profitable?

Wembley tickets are selling much better than they used to.

After England's friendly win over Spain, FA President Thompson even said in a cocktail party: Hiring Aldridge to coach is the right decision!

This thing can't wait to take the credit for itself.

"There was only one change to England's starting XI today from the last friendly game, and that was the strikers, Heskey was on the bench and Owen started! There is no doubt that England are stronger in the starting field today than in the last game! ”

England fans sat relaxed in the Wembley stands, waiting to see the action and enjoy a hearty victory.

The king of qualifiers, Spain, have been beaten by us three on the road, Albania? Giving 3 points is the most basic cost, and it comes with a few more goal difference to be satisfied.

But 20 minutes into the game, the England fans in the Wembley stands were dumbfounded.

The score is 0:0.

England don't look like they've been able to score the slightest bit and threaten a few attacks.

on the scene. England has an absolute advantage. Hold your opponent on the attack!

Aldrich stood on the sidelines and laughed angrily.

These Brits. It's just a curse!

There is a huge disparity between the strength and weakness, Albania comes to play away, and when it comes up, it is a normal choice, and the strength is not good, so it can only use crowd tactics to ensure that it does not concede goals.

And what are England's players playing on the pitch?

Oppressive attack!

It's right to play like this with a team with a delicate style of play, but England is not good at this kind of small-scale coordination. The pressure is to suppress the other party, so what?

The penetrating through ball was constantly broken, and the ability to get rid of the ball was lacking, and the ball kept rolling back and forth in front of the Albanian penalty area to the central midfield.

Albania destroys the clearance, England scores again, Albania destroys the clearance, England scores again

4321, almost became 2143.

Such an infiltration play could not be played, and they started to cross again.

Aldrich really wants to kick Becky's ass!

Who are you going to pass it to?

Owen at 1.72m?

Scholes at 1.74m?

Or McManaman, the tallest man up front at 1.84m?

People just put up a dense defense, and you cross like this. There wasn't even a little space in the penalty area, so did they rely on the confrontation and then the Jordan-style jump to score with a relay dunk in the air?

Aldridge did give the order to death in the dressing room before the game. This game must be won, the situation is like this, everyone knows that if they don't win, I'm afraid that even the play-off qualification will be suspended.

As for Albania's style of play, Aldridge can also predict that the opponent will not be able to come to Wembley to pick up a big knife and fight England, and it is inevitable to focus on defense.

Therefore, Aldridge stressed that the pressing press in the tactics must be firmly executed.

Well, they executed very well, pressing pressing, the forwards, the midfielders almost surrounded the opposing goalkeeper, and the midfielders and full-backs also stepped forward to press.

It worked so well that Albania was too scared to pass the ball at the back, just kicked forward to clear.

But here's the question, what about the players? Naturally, he has been staying in the area of 30 yards in front of the goal, and the fortress of the two defensive lines of 9 players shows no signs of loosening, and the remaining 1 striker is miserable, and his teammates will rush forward when he clears the siege, so tired that he can't touch the ball like his grandson, and it is estimated that he can cry and faint in the toilet at halftime.

How Aldridge wishes that football could be like basketball at this time, shall we call a timeout?

These international players, the morale of the friendly victory is back, and the opponent's strength is not good, I expect to be able to win it in one fell swoop and show my face by brushing the data, but as a result, the kick became!

Completely forgot Aldrich's tactical essentials.

Aldridge took advantage of a sideline opportunity to walk to the sideline, and Bedo Jr. was dedicated, the ball went out of bounds, and he immediately picked it up and was about to serve.

"David, wait."

Becky was probably in a state of excitement, and when he heard Aldridge call him, he turned his head and his hand slipped, and the ball was thrown to Aldrich

The fans at Wembley were stunned.

"Well, David Beckham served the ball on the sideline and then dropped it to manager Hall outside of bounds, is this England's wonder man? But you can't have 12 people on a team on a football field. ”

The commentator was teasing, Xiaobei looked embarrassed, and the referee awarded the sideline ball to Albania again.

"Coach, what's the matter? I"

Xiaobei said that he was about to enter the game to defend, Aldrich said to him with a faint expression: "You come first, don't care about the game, lose the ball and count it as mine." ”

Beckham looked back, Albania was indeed attacking, the striker who was so tired as his grandson that he was rushing forward again, but it should be no play, Southgate had already controlled the landing point of the high ball.

Aldridge was reminded by the fourth official not to leave the area designated by the head coach, so he beckoned to Becky and asked him to follow him slowly back to the command area of the home coach.

The referee came over and asked what was the situation with Xiaobei?

How do you kick and kick and play? The fans in the stands and the spectators watching the live TV broadcast were also stunned.

It's weird.

In the middle of the game, the manager took the initiative to call a player out of the game, and it seemed to be very laid-back.

Aldridge casually dealt with the referee, falsely claiming that Beckham was feeling unwell and that the team doctor wanted to check on him.

Xiaobei took a breath, and by the way, he also picked up a bottle of water to replenish it.

"Coach, why did you call me out? Is there something wrong with me? ”

"Well, you all have questions."

"Huh?"

Aldridge turned Beckham around and let him look at England's front court as much as he did.

"David, what do you see?"

"Uh, we're on the offensive and the other side is on the defensive."

"But what are we doing when the other side is going to attack?"

"Pressing defense, isn't that what the coach asked you for?"

"When did I let you go to the opposition penalty area for a pressing defense?"

"Huh?"

Beckham thought for a moment and shook his head.

Aldridge said in a deep voice: "When training, I always emphasize that the focus is in the midfield, if it is in the front, do you think England's third line can keep in touch?" When facing a stronger opponent, is it difficult to penetrate the defense layer by layer? Do you know why the Italian team does not pay attention to the grab, but adopts a chain defense? ”

"Because it is easy to be broken one by one because of the active grabbing."

"Yes, the reason is the same, even if we play like this today and win, this kind of defensive strategy will definitely be ravaged by the top teams. Wait a minute, you go back to the court, tell all the players, withdraw, what you asked for in training, how the game will be played, don't think that you can easily win because the opponent is weak, play like this, if you want to win, you can only rely on luck, Michael Irving turned into Michael Jordan to score with a header? ”

Xiaobei also felt that it was ineffective to play like that just now, just like England's long pass rush in the past, but there was not even a high school striker on the field.

He nodded and returned to the sidelines, ran into the field with the referee's permission, passed and told his teammates the coach's will, and only burst out laughing when he finished conveying Aldrich's instructions.

Owen turned into Jordan?

The coach is so humorous.

He didn't think about whether his nerve reflex arc was too long, and he only reacted at this time (to be continued......
