On FIFA match days, the news focuses on the national team, and England, the world's "strongest team", is naturally the subject of Fleet Street.

When a reporter did not go on as usual in England, some of the players went back to the hotel, and some of the players stayed at the training base, all of a sudden, the paparazzi were busy and dug deep into the reasons behind it.

In this short period, there is not much news material, because in the league progress, there are 2O top league teams, 1O leagues, and there is a lot of material to write news, and when it comes to FIFA match days, everyone only focuses on the national team, and the material naturally becomes less.

As a result, the slightest disturbance in the national team will be caught by Fleet Street and hyped up.

"Hall despises Finland!"

"England are classified! David Beckham, Southgate and others have special treatment! ”

"Does Hall really understand what the World Cup is?"

Most tabloids use alarmist headlines to attract readers in order to gain attention, and the more serious newspapers do not, because doing so will hurt their relationship with Aldrich, but following the trend, the headlines will be more restrained, and in another way, they will report on the matter with a kind warning or a suggestion, and some English celebrities have also come forward to "pass on experience".

How to face the World Cup?

What is the best attitude before the World Cup?

It was a normal time for the national team to give the players a reasonable rest, but it caused a storm in the city, which shows the hype power of Fleet Street, the European news center.

The reporter who actually writes must know it, but he writes it out and makes consumers pay for it.

Aldrich didn't care. Such unhealthy tendencies have become orthodox. Which day. If Fleet Street doesn't do that, the sun will definitely come out in the west.

Two days later, Aldridge led the team to Finland at St James' Park.

His arrangement of troops really responded to some tabloid speculation: underestimate the enemy.

With the exception of Gareth Southgate, the big names were largely on the bench.

And the formation also changed, it became 442.

At the same time, Aldridge sent Frank Lampard up front, Steven Gerrard played in central midfield, and Joe Cole and Alan Smith up front. It's just to think about the new tactic of "back waist front".

After all, England has too many sapper players, and sitting at home, the opponent Finland will definitely not take the initiative to attack, playing positional battles at a glance, Aldridge can only resign himself to fate, that is not his current style.

Finland missed the World Cup and was full of resentment, after all, in the world qualifiers, they once occupied second place in the standings and had a chance to grab a play-off place. In their opinion, if Aldridge had not taken over the England national team. Then they won't be squeezed into third place.

This time they came to the UK, knowing that they had been invited to be sparring partners, which only provoked them to win**.

However, it is not enough to have **, they must also be calm, so they are determined to implement anti-counter tactics on the field, no matter what posture the opponent will pose.

Bayern Munich's 4-2 home defeat to Millwall was the focus after the game, and many experts emphasized many times in the technical and tactical review that Bayern Munich had hoped for victory, but they were confused by the change of their opponent, in other words, they themselves changed because of the change of opponent, which fell and planted the seeds of defeat.

With this experience, the whole Finnish team has a high degree of unity of thought, and it is defensive and counter-attacking, and the England team has the ability to keep the draw at home.

During the game, Aldridge sat in the coach's box, watching the game and discussing with his colleagues.

"Why not use Bart and Hargreaves in a back two?"

"Because I think this World Cup should be Bart's last international performance, and after the World Cup, Hargreaves has the ability to replace him, to be better than him, to be better, to be better, and Bart is at Manchester United."

Although Aldridge's contract with the FA will end this summer, he believes that Bart should have no place in the next national team cycle, and he is still used now, and it is to give him the main force, the reason is very simple, his strength is close to the current Hargreaves, but the experience is richer than Hargreaves, and at the same time it is Manchester United, and the tacit understanding with Manchester United players on the field is not comparable to Hargreaves, and he works very hard, and treats this World Cup, his mentality is the same as McManaman's, career, the hardest, The most beaten, just this summer! And Hargreaves can't compare with Bart in terms of mentality, experience, and inner drive, after all, he is young and will not think that this World Cup is his end.

No matter how the fans who just met Hargreaves ten years later define him, whether it is a glass man or ungrateful, at least Hargreaves before O8 years, the career trajectory is soaring, Bayern Munich's main force, Manchester United's main force, the main force of the England national team, such a height proves his strength, if it is not for injury, Manchester United will not worry about the waist after ten years?

"It's a really hard offense."

Klinsmann frowned.

England's offense, chaotic, simple, inefficient!

Aldrich nodded and said, "It seems that I still think too simply, if you want to prepare the second set of techniques and tactics, it will be too late, and you can only improve it on the basis of 4321." ”

Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Alan Smith, these three are at the forefront of the attack, in the case of falling into layers of defense, they do nothing, and the role of the back forward cannot be waved, because of the lack of support on the wing, Gerrard in the center of the midfield is very hard to defend and has a large defensive range, but Barry's partner is always slow in defense, I don't know if it has anything to do with him playing defender at the club.

It is extremely dangerous to let the wing-backs directly make the full-backs the first and last line of defense, especially since the positional battle of the England team is not as oppressive as Millwall's, Millwall's oppressive attack, with the threat of wingers, forcing the opposing full-backs and full-backs to fight back and forth. It is the effect of attacking instead of defending.

But in the England national team. I can't play with such an effect. Conversely, in the opponent's counterattack, the starting position of the wing player is more advanced, so if the midfielder's co-defense on the side is slow, it will put the full-back in a very embarrassing situation, especially easy to be penetrated by the 2-over-1 cooperation.

Aldrich's previous thoughts were still a little naïve, perhaps arrogant.

Just like Tian Ji's horse racing strategy, 4321 can win. With 4321, if you can't win, you will change to another set of techniques and tactics.

The self-confidence he had accumulated over a long period of time had led him to make such a bold attempt, but he had made a low-level mistake.

It takes a very long time for a set of techniques and tactics to be realized, run-in, formed, and matured.

Moreover, it is difficult to say that a team can use both sets of tactics.

Left-handed attack. Defend with your right hand, which one do you want to use?

I think so. But the reality is impossible, other managers can't do it, Aldridge only thinks he can do it, reality teaches him to be a man again!

Like the England team, after 4321 is honed and matured, and then switch back to 442, they feel awkward to use it themselves, one person may be fine, but to let the whole team of 11 people enter the same rhythm, and wield the ideal power, unless, there are 11 world-class players on the field, then there is no need to worry about what formation and tactics to play.

To rebuild a set of techniques and tactics, it is necessary to replace the previous tactical system, and it is impossible to say that the previous set is proficient, and now another set is added.

Aldrich carried out self-denial, but fortunately, now it is only in the embryonic stage to kill the idea of self-destruction of the Great Wall, even if there is a backhand, can only seek change on the basis of 4321, and this big framework foundation cannot be changed lightly.

Just when Aldridge's thoughts were wandering, the Finnish team scored, Tong Guò counterattacked, Litmanen made a decisive hammer, broke through the goal guarded by James, and the Finnish team led 1:o away!

Finland's passionate celebration at St James' Park was like a vent for their anger at the World Qualifiers, and the fact that they were able to take the lead at England's home stadium made their catharsis find the right enemy.

Aldridge stood up and walked to the sidelines, waved at the players on the field, and asked the team to retreat, the attack was a mess and disorganized, but it exposed the defensive problem, this is a typical transformation failure, the attack is not threatening, the defense is not stable, the two sharp weapons on the field, England team today did neither.

On the other hand, the Finnish team firmly played defensive counterattack, and on the basis of successful defense, broke through the door of the England team, which is also a typical example, as the commentator said depressedly: "This conceded goal should be a wake-up call for the England team!" ”

To be exact, it woke Aldrich up.

In the final analysis, the pursuit of the ultimate on the football field is nothing more than two kinds, or attack everything, this is easy to understand, I score one more goal than you, and I take away the victory. Either the defense is solid, this is on the basis of the former, my attack power is not as good as yours, then I can only limit you, on the basis of defensive success to find a way to win, defensive victory is also not uncommon, such as the Italians' admiration for chain defense, that desperate 1:o, how much the spirit of the head coach who pursues offense?

Aldridge's original thinking was clear, the England team can't play an invincible attack, so they can only pursue the second option, why does 442 endure? But it is difficult to shine in the originator of the England team? Because 442 is too balanced, balanced and balanced, it becomes mediocre.

4321 was looking for victory on the basis of defense, and now Aldridge is trying to subvert that, he is arrogant, he is punished, and now, he is taking the initiative to correct this.

However, he can't make the whole team change their minds on the sidelines for a while, so he can only ask the team to slow down the tempo and not rush to attack, that is, not to give the opponent a good chance to counterattack, so that he can make further adjustments at halftime.

At half-time, the score remained unchanged and England was down 1-o.

Aldridge rearranged the tactics in the dressing room, the back four remained the same, changed back to three midfielders, and the rest, did not ask for too much, and the tactical routine changed back to the previous habit.

As a result, the second half of the game became extremely boring, the Finnish team was ahead, the England team was also based on defense, there was no risky attack, on the field, the two teams were fighting back and forth in the midfield for the ball, no one could attack, 25 minutes in the second half, the combined number of shots on goal for both sides was: o!

Later, it became a long-range shot with set-pieces in Bo Luck.

Aldrich is really having a headache right now.

The current scene is the most painful for the England team, the opponent does not take the initiative to attack, the score is behind, and the tactics themselves are to fight back to threaten, but there is no chance to counterattack, and the threat will naturally not come out.

The live camera frequently locked on Aldridge, as well as Klinsmann and Jensen, and the members of the coaching staff had roughly the same expressions, frowning and gloomy.

Friendlies don't matter, but if it's the World Cup, if England is behind the score, how will they play?

On the basis of not shaking the tactical foundation of 4321, how can this extreme defensive counterattack formation be changed?

At the end of the day, England still have too few technically talented players, and if there is another technical player who is good at dribbling, or a playmaker, Aldridge and his colleagues will not be very sad, but England do not have such players (to be continued......
