Nigeria was caught off guard, coach Onniebinder trembled in the bottom of his heart, he is an insignificant little person in the green world, coaching Nigeria or the second into the palace, the last time was more than ten years ago, failed to lead Nigeria to the World Cup and was fired, this year led the African Super Eagles to compete with the world's leaders, Nigeria failed to bring many surprises to the world, in addition to the record, including their skills and tactics, originally, the African team can not talk about how superb the skills and tactics are, and naturally the outside world can not expect.

This is the limitation of the African team itself, the lack of football talent, but where there are good seedlings, they will be quickly sent to Europe to develop, hone and grow up, and then return to Africa to serve the motherland, but a national team, the overall level is not high, and the distribution of player levels is also significantly different, and it is not easy for the team's technical and tactical strength to be honed into a whole, and it is simply impossible to make a breakthrough.

The level of coaching in Africa is naturally not comparable to that of Europe, and Oniebinder sees Nigeria in a passive position on the field, so he naturally thinks that Aldridge is superior and has a sense of awe.

He hasn't figured out exactly what England are up to.

Those chances on goal may seem like a bit of luck at first glance, but when England kept getting chances once, twice, three times, four times, it became clear that England were able to sort out the chaotic picture on the pitch themselves.

When referee Brian Hall showed the first yellow card of the game to Joe Cole for knocking down Jopo on the flank in the 19th minute, England commentator Lineker said in confusion: "Isn't it, it's a bit too much? ”

Andy Gray and Martin Taylor didn't talk to each other for a short time.

Lineker said, "It's over." It does not mean that the referee shows a yellow card. The penalty scale is within a reasonable range. Even, three minutes ago, Joe Cole pulled Oudze and could have been shown a yellow card.

This "over" refers to the defensive aggression of the England team.

On the field, the players are confrontational, and the England team seems to be very violent!

This violence stems first and foremost from speed.

It's not the speed of the offense, it's the speed of the encirclement and suppression of the defensive part.

The attack from back to front is nothing more than three directions, left, center and right. No matter which side Nigeria attacks from, England is heavily stationed in the midfield, and even when switching from attack to defense, there is no shadow of any English players on the forward line, it is conceivable that they have 6 players who are retreating to the midfield, plus the slight premise of the back line, and then there is no new way to attack the ball line that is easy to predict, every time Nigeria's receiver has not touched the ball, the local encirclement of the England team has been presented.

A wolf-like England player on local defence. The confrontation is fierce, especially for the players who are chasing back. It is almost a swoop at the opponent's player, and he kicks down fiercely, and if the opponent reacts slightly, there must be a second person who comes up and makes a more secure and accurate steal.

And sometimes Nigeria makes an adjustment, wanting to control the ball steadily, let the rhythm slow down, England players close to the action of pressing a little rough, even pulling and dragging, because there is certainly no tactical foul involved, the opponent has no obvious offensive opportunities, the referee is not good to show a yellow card in the case of not acting out of line, but patience will always have a limit, Joe Cole's yellow card comes from this.

England's brutal style of play is extremely violent.

It's incomprehensible when you see it at first glance.

Can you do it?

England have already qualified ahead of schedule!

In the general public's perception, such a rude, small action of constant defense, first of all, the behavior is despicable, after all, football, should be kicked with feet, hidden with hands to pull the other party, what kind of hero is a hero?

Moreover, even if a team is forced to this one, it will definitely be a battle of life and death, and every inch of land will be contested, which is understandable.

But England play like this, I really don't know what they are trying to do, and it is easy to provoke the opponent.

If you want to win the first place in the group steadily, as long as you play conservatively and draw evenly, 7 points will definitely be the top of the group.

However, England disappointed all the spectators' predictions, they played extremely unrestrained and savage, and the Nigerian giants were a little unbearable.

Lineker's doubts may be the doubts of all the fans who watched this game.

Andy Gray and Martin Taylor didn't answer immediately because they commented on more than 70 percent of Aldridge's coaching career.

They knew that the young coach, who was known for his tactical prowess and ruthlessness, would never allow his team to play a "messy" form of football.

I couldn't see Aldridge erupting in dissatisfaction on the sidelines, and even, the young marshal was extremely calm, as if he was under control, and when Rooney rushed back and made a tackle, he saw the young marshal frenzy, pointing at Rooney and yelling, I don't know what to say, but Rooney forced the opponent out of the sideline in the next defense, but he was applauded and appreciated by the young marshal.

Obviously, the young marshal was angry that Rooney was irresponsible for letting go of the tackle, but he tried to chase back and rush to destroy the opponent's attack, and even on the sideline, there was an obvious push and collision action but he was not angry, but praised.

Well, England played like this today, it was the young coach's approval, and it was definitely out of his plan.

This discovery left the commentators in England scratching their heads.

People go to high places and water flows to low places, it stands to reason that the pursuit of the young marshal should be step by step, and in the football world, it is gorgeous, mercury and snowy, and the offensive football of spring and snow is reversed today, and England has become rough, violent, and even, dirty!

Aldrich naturally has his own pursuits, but they are different from the pursuits of the world, if he has any style, it is to watch the dishes, teach according to his aptitude, and adapt to the situation.

If we can be gorgeous, we will be gorgeous.

It's not gorgeous, it's not dirty.

The result is the most important thing, and victory is the eternal goal.

It is undeniable that the England team is playing like this, and it looks very effective!

After 30 minutes of the first half, England had 11 shots on goal!

However, they are too rough!

11 shots on goal, only 1 hit the goal range!

These 11 shots on goal. Only 4 times was barely on the periphery. 7 other times. 5 shots in the box, 2 outside the box, the chances are good, if there are top players on the field, I'm afraid you can score at least 2!

Even Joe Cole, a player known for his technical ability, failed to hit the target with his three shots, which also stemmed from his lack of ability to shoot in the box, after all, a player with good skills. It doesn't have to be a good shot, it's just one of the technical abilities.

In the 31st minute, Nigeria launched a long pass, Campbell cleared the ball with a header, and England had no one in the front line, but when attacking, the back row was unable to defend it.

Dyer broke through and crossed diagonally to the left flank, which Joe Cole cut in and delivered a well-placed cross.

Rooney's header from the back of the net was in the eyes of all anticipation. Everyone subconsciously thought the ball was going to go in, but Rooney bounced it off the post.

Rooney kicks it at the post. The hatred is monstrous.

A loud sigh rang out in the stadium.

Everyone was helpless.

This Nima doesn't enter?

Aldridge covers his face with one hand on the sidelines.

A bunch of rough guys!

Nigeria escaped again, and by this time they were terrified and overwhelmed.

If there is anyone who is the safest in attack, it is Nigeria's two central defenders, when they have the ball at their feet, England does not grab, retreats, and blocks other points, but Nigeria can't just go back and forth with two central defenders and goalkeepers, right?

As soon as they attacked, England, who were heavily armed in the midfield, began to play in a row, slamming into a mess, and after successfully defending, they immediately rushed forward, sometimes looking stumbling, and sometimes seizing the gap to play a wave of threatening attacks.

"England is not blindly pressing, Smith is not playing forward at all today, who is playing forward, I can't tell, Rooney, Joe Cole, Dier, and even sometimes Carrick will rush into the penalty area to complete the shot, England's defense is planned, no matter which side of Nigeria's attack develops, England players who are far away from the defense will look at the opportunity to start running, so you can see that there are 5 players in the England midfield who take turns to kill the first line, at that moment, the player who kills is the striker, More often than not, they are all midfielders, this kind of defensive pressing, so that England has a huge advantage in the midfield, yes, I have to admit that the game did not end at halftime, England got 15 shots, it is from the advantage of defensive pressure. ”

Andy Gray saw a little bit of the doorway, analyzing the shape on the field, unbelievable at the same time, but at the same time bright.

Because of the impression, the team with dirty defense and crazy pressing will root the defensive center of gravity in the second half, which is the last link after resisting the opponent's attack, and the England team today, the premise of defending the key area, it is also the organizational link that stifles the opponent, Nigeria's attack is fragmented, there is no system at all, the game played for almost 45 minutes, the Nigerian team passed forward, and no one could make more than 4 passes.

In the 45th minute, one minute of stoppage time, the England team launched another attack, Rooney, the kid was a little angry, and directly dribbled the ball in the front area and then hit the goal with a heavy kick.

Not to mention, this shot is very reliable.

Goalkeeper Enyeama bravely blocked the ball, Oudze hurriedly half-turned to clear the ball, but kicked the ball at Alan Smith, who rushed forward desperately, Nyeama abandoned the goal, and Smith headed directly at the ball when it fell from the air.

The ball flew between Enyeama's raised arms and into the goal behind him.

"England have scored! Unexpected goal! They wasted a lot of good opportunities, and in the end it was the opponent who made a mistake and cleared the ball on Smith, who didn't seem to have any reaction, continued to pounce forward, and scored with a header in the penalty area, 1:0, England lead! Meanwhile, England had a staggering 17 shots on goal in the first half! ”

Alan Smith, who worked hard, was almost on defense in the first half, and the number of points on the offensive end was not very good-looking, but the defense, just steals 3 times, this goal can be said to be his desperate fight back, and it can be regarded as a hard worker.

Rooney rushed to celebrate with his teammates, but he was a little unwilling, his extremely high-quality long-range shot, still did not score, but Alan Smith, not a chance to score.

But maybe that's what the coach is trying to do.

Aldrich just clapped and smiled, not too excited.

And not far from him, Onibinder was already shocked. (To be continued......)
