Thanks to the rewards of "The Thief Died", "Qingqing Little Wolf", "Who Hasn't Tried Two Times" and "Four Thousand Three Hundred Miles"! ――

As the dust settles on the Spain vs South Korea match, the first thing journalists do after the post-match is to travel to Japan, where everyone wants to interview Aldridge, whether England can beat Turkey or not.

In addition to cursing England for being planted at the feet of Turkey, the South Korean side began to fry cold rice, turning up Rooney's merry and merry deeds in Tokyo, trying to discredit England's image.

This incident made the European media extremely despised, not to mention that in Europe, prostitution is legal in many places, and the England team never admitted that Rooney was a prostitute. When they sold stories to reporters, they claimed that they had fallen in love with the tall, mighty and suave Lu Xiaopang, and that it was just an ONS incident.

The players in the England team have a lot of admiration for Aldridge.

According to normal thinking, the more big-name stars are, the more fraternal they are, they will not erect enemies, and they will not damage their image, but Aldridge is so clear about love and hate, and dares to make it public, he just has something to say in England, hates Leeds United, just says it, feels that the crazy gang is too rough, and he is ruthless, and when he comes to the World Cup, he obviously has nothing to do with England, he still dares to express his views and will not follow the crowd.

This courage made him Aldridge like a pure man in the hearts of the players, very domineering.

In particular, he named and insulted Zheng Mengzhun and told Korean companies to get out, which made fans in Italy and Spain feel very happy. Can England fans and players. There is only one word of emotion: cow.

Aldrich himself was not complacent about the war of words with South Korea. On the contrary, before facing the life-and-death battle with the Star and Moon Legion today, he was calm and helpless.

The player may not be able to see it, but Jenson, who has worked with him for many years, noticed it immediately.

While the players warmed up at the Nagai Stadium in Osaka, Aldridge sat in the locker room, and Jenson stayed behind and asked curiously, "Do you have something on your mind?" Is it related to the competition? ”

Jenson worries that something other than football is bothering Aldrich.

In fact, Aldrich is not confused, it is a simple helplessness.

He smiled bitterly: "Something on my mind." There are some who feel that the work of the past has been in vain. ”

"Huh?"

"Turkey, every game is different."

Jensen suddenly realized, and Aldrich sighed again.

He did a lot of homework before the World Cup, working day and night, and if he can come in handy, he will feel that the hard work is worth it, such as studying Sweden and Argentina. Nigeria.

If the opponent you can't touch has studied it in advance, you won't be too disappointed. Be prepared.

But the opponent who had made preparations and research in advance appeared in front of him, only to find that his preparations were useless, which was a bit shocking.

The situation in Turkey is somewhat strange, reasonable and unexpected.

The current Turkish coach Güneş (Gunes) has been controversial since he took office 2 years ago, and criticism of it in Turkey is endless, some people think that Güneş, who was born as a goalkeeper, cannot be the coach of the Star and Moon Army, some people say that he is not enough to be bold and confident in the Turkish emperor Trim, and he is not gentle and elegant in Dennis, obviously lacking personality charm, and some people even accuse him of "going through the back door" to become the coach of the national team.

With such a manager, the pressure can be imagined.

As a result, when Turkey was robbed of the top spot in the group by Sweden in the world preliminary round and was going to play in the qualification play-offs, the criticism of him in Turkey was overwhelming.

Then, Güneš boldly changed his formation in the face of Austria, swept Austria with six goals, and finally led Turkey to the World Cup after 48 years!

came to the World Cup, Turkey lost at the feet of Brazil in the group stage, and then drew with Costa Rica, and the group qualification was suspended, so the crisis of confidence in Güneš came again!

When he played Costa Rica, he had already changed formations, and in the end, he abused the Chinese team, and relied on Brazil to defeat Costa Rica without obvious release, so as to qualify for the round of 16.

Why does Aldrich have a feeling that his previous work was in vain?

It is normal for a team to face adversity, change tactics, change formation, and the so-called reasonable.

Where is the unexpected?

Güneš has a different starting formation in almost every World Cup, although the significance of the formation itself is not particularly conspicuous, but it is obvious that Turkey's style of play has changed, even if it is a detail, it is worth paying attention to.

In the group stage, Turkey used 442 and 4231, and when it came to playing Japan, Turkey used 4321.

Basically, a world-class powerhouse will not change its formation so frequently on the stage of the World Cup, because a change in details may lead to a complete collapse.

Very few teams come to the World Cup to make adjustments, unless the opponent is extremely strong and makes targeted changes.

And like Brazil, even if it is adjusted all the way, it is only a personnel adjustment in the specific position, using the most appropriate parts, and not changing the large frame, 343 has been crushed all the way, and other strong teams are basically the same.

Because of the adjustment, the core part of the tactical system should be run in before the start of the World Cup.

Günesh's changes back and forth, but there is a taste of surprise.

Aldridge's previous work can be thrown into the trash, and the technical and tactical characteristics of Turkey in the qualifiers have changed very much from now.

Moreover, Aldridge can't guess whether Günech will change the formation when he plays England today.

If he really dares to change formation, it will be crazy!

Do you really see the World Cup as a showcase of the manager's personal line-up?

But to be honest, he has changed back and forth, and the effect can't be concluded, losing to Brazil in the group stage and drawing with Costa Rica, you can use defeat as a conclusion, win China, what is convincing? The knockout round kicked the host Japan out of the tournament, also by a corner, a static set-piece. It has little to do with the offensive and defensive systems of sports warfare.

Jenson patted him on the shoulder. for comfort.

Why? Isn't it comforting yourself?

He also has a role to do in the work of gathering intelligence, analyzing the opponent's information, and listing key points.

In this situation, the two could only look at each other and smile.

When the players returned from their warm-ups, Aldridge got up and left without saying much, staying in the dressing room just to make sure that no players felt sick or injured during the warm-up before kick-off. If there is an accident, he will change the starting line-up on the spot, after all, the probability of an accident is very small in such a short distance from the locker room to the field.

Arriving at the stadium, Aldridge was attracted by the deafening cheers in the stadium, and he looked around the stadium stands, although there were many Turkish fans, but obviously not as many as England fans.

Güneš shakes hands with Aldrich. Because Güneş has changed formations continuously, and Turkey has reached the top 8. Güneš suddenly became a master tactician, at least as the outside world touted.

This game has become a contest between Aldrich and another "master tactician".

The outside world expects England and Turkey to break the predictions of the game and come up with something new.

This is something that is difficult for a strong man.

Even Brazil has become cautious when it reaches the top 8, how can other teams have the confidence to play new tricks again, and if it is not fun, it will be said goodbye to the World Cup!

After all, if you win the top 8, there will be two games left, either to compete for the championship or to compete for the third place.

Players from both sides enter.

"The last game of the World Cup 1/4 finals is about to be staged at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, England VS Turkey, the winner of this game will meet Brazil in the semi-finals at Saitama World Cup Stadium, Brazil has the advantage of having one more day of rest, and the Brazilian team itself is very strong, no matter what, if England can win Turkey today, Hall's Three Lions will make England proud of it, England's best result in the history of the World Cup is naturally 66 years of local championship, next, They finished fourth in the World Cup 12 years ago, so if England win today, Hall's Three Lions will at least equal England's second-best World Cup finish and become the top three teams in England's history. ”

"Turkey will make history with every step of the way, they won't be tied up today, and I'm curious about the coach Güneş, who has a different lineup every game, making it difficult for opponents to predict their formation in advance, is that a trick? Will it cause problems for England? ”

"It's hard to say, but I don't think the current England team will not be afraid of each other, and they will not panic because the opponent has put on a novel formation, in the last four games, the England team has been getting better and better, more and more stable, the lads are confident and full of tacit understanding on the field, they look unbeatable, in four games, we have only conceded one goal, and what about Turkey? They conceded five, especially by Brazil. ”

"Let's take a closer look at Turkey's game today and now introduce the starting line-ups for both sides.

England 4321.

Goalkeeper: Seaman.

Defenders: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: David Beckham, Bart, Frank Lampard.

Forwards: McManaman, Scholes.

Forward: Owen.

Turkey, 352? Well, that's right, they started today with 352.

Goalkeeper: Rustu.

Defenders: Fatih, Alpe, Brent.

Midfielders: Davara, Basturk, Tugai, Emre, Urgon.

Forwards: Hakan Suker, Sas.

Whether it's really 352 or 532, we only have to observe in the game, but I would expect Turkey to use a three-back defensive system, as mentioned before, Hall against a team with three backs, the record is to win all! ”

Aldridge watched Turkey's starters one by one, combined with the general position of the opposing players before kick-off, and couldn't help but reach out and touch his forehead.

Thankfully, he didn't predict Turkey's starters and formation.

The characteristics of the players in the Turkish squad, roughly the best position on the field, he knows it by heart.

Combined with the basic information, he had already guessed that Turkey was determined to hit 352.

The double striker is because in the knockout round, it is not possible to attack, and if you are a single striker, you need at least world-class players, for example, the England team has a world-class goalscorer Owen, even if he is a pure shooter, but only in terms of speed, running, and shooting, Owen is world-class, while Turkey does not.

As a result, they were in the same situation as Senegal.

After Senegal's defeat, the outside world put forward a severe criticism of Mechu's formation, believing that its back five was a failure, giving England a strong midfield advantage.

Güneš learned the lessons of the Senegalese game and turned to hoarding in midfield.

Although Argentina is also a back 3, Güneş thinks of his back 3, but the midfield system is completely different, two more than Argentina's midfielders!

He thinks a back three can keep an eye on Owen, while a midfield five can compete with England's midfield control.

How the game will develop, Aldridge will not jump to conclusions, and will have to wait for the kick-off to make specific observations.

The main thing is the Turkish gesture.

If they are indecent, England may face the biggest difficulties since the World Cup.

But if they have the determination and will to confront, Aldrich is not worried, and he doesn't care how the opponent's formation is set.

At the beginning of the game, the pace of both sides was relatively slow, and there was only one ticket left for the top four, and both sides were cautious! (To be continued......)
