If you only look at the game 30 minutes ago, Aldridge had one person in the starting line today who shouldn't have started, and that was Steven Gerrard.

It's not that Gerrard doesn't play well, it's that on the England bench, Rooney's appearance is probably more intuitive than Gerrard's threat in terms of the conditions of the previous 30 minutes.

The closer he gets to goal, even at the age of 18, the more dangerous Rooney is than Gerrard, but the closer he is to midfield, the stronger Gerrard's role and ability will definitely be stronger than that of 18-year-old Rooney.

Brückner surprised Aldridge, the Czech team did not hesitate to play against England, resulting in the midfield of both sides in the see-saw is a little useless, the transition between attack and defense is too fast, so in the first 30 minutes, when Gerrard needs to be closer to the goal to complete the goal, his appearance is not satisfactory, if there is a positive Indian striker, it may be much better.

But this is a football game, and Aldridge is not entangled.

There will be times when his own deployment fails, and his opponent will always cause him problems.

Tactically, England established an advantage in central midfield when the Czechs pulled back, which put the game back on track as Aldridge expected, with Steven Gerrard's table getting better and better, and England were just one step away from equalising.

When the Czechs pounced again in the final minutes of the first half, Aldridge immediately made adjustments.

But it's not on defense, how to defend, England has the bottom in their hearts, as for whether they can prevent it, when the rhythm is out of control, no one dares to pack tickets.

Aldridge adjusted the forward line, and he gestured to Gerrard, who understood it. In his position. More flexibility is needed. He and Owen have a deep friendship with their club teammates, which also makes them more comfortable working together.

Once the England team and the Czech team start an offensive battle today, the most eye-catching players in the midfield table are all players on the left side of the midfield, the Czech team is Nedved, the attack and defense suppress Xiaobei and even the entire left side, and the England team is Lampard, he is attacking. Poboski's hard work on defence could not keep up with Lampard's tempo.

In the 44th minute, the Czech team launched a wave of fast attack, Jankulovski and Nedved combined on the left side and crossed underneath, Campbell nodded the ball in front of the ball, and Beckham ran back to grab the falling ball, passed the ball back to Neville at the same time, and pointed to the other side of the court.

Gary Neville kept the ball and deflected a long diagonal pass, which was not very good because Neville moved too hastily. Becky returned because of pressure from Nedved, and Neville was in a dangerous area. Coupled with Yankulovsky walking back, maybe suddenly come to intercept it.

The ball almost went off the touchline on the other side, but Ashley Cole raced up and kicked the ball forward with a tackle.

Frank Lampard took control of the ball in front of midfield and dribbled forward.

At this time, the left side of the Czech team defense was relatively empty, but the England team still played their right side, and there was no one to answer there, especially Gerrard did not pull to the right, but entered the penalty area!

The Czechs themselves didn't particularly notice the change, and Gerrard was no longer on the periphery, but in the box!

What about Owen?

Owen withdrew.

He and Steven Gerrard completed a swap.

Frank Lampard moved down the middle after breaking into the front pitch and in front of Galasek he swooped the ball through to Steven Gerrard at the front of the line.

Steven Gerrard had his back to the Czechs, and even if he was in front, he didn't face the Czechs, in fact, he didn't intend to turn around, let alone stop the ball.

He kicked the ball out and knocked it into Owen, who was slightly further back.

Owen was in front of the Czech Republic's two centre-backs, Bolf and Ujfalusi.

Gerrard had already helped him distract Ujfalusi, and he dribbled straight into the middle of the box!

As soon as he stepped into the box, Bolf came over to close the door and stop Owen.

The other party's move is right in the middle!

Owen was prepared, he waited for the opponent to pull in, and with Gerrard in front of his left, the Czech defenders also shrank slightly to that side, trying to squeeze the space and not give Owen a chance to break through the middle and pass the ball to Gerrard.

And Owen suddenly flicked the ball to the side of Bolf with the outside instep, which was the right front that Owen faced!

Bolf didn't expect Owen to slam into the middle again, he stopped and turned around, slow!

Owen has a very good combination of the ball, changing backwards and then forwards, and although the angle is not as good as cutting straight into the middle, it has already formed a semi-one-on-one trend.

In the face of Cech blocking the near corner, Owen still used the outside of his foot to shoot, and the ball crossed an outside arc and went around the inside of the far post of the goal!

The new Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech pounced sideways, but he was too far away because he focused too much on blocking the near corner of the goal, and Owen played the ball really tricky, and Cech was powerless!

The unpredictable curling shot cut through the Petr Cech goalkeeper, and Owen knew it was going to be a goal when he shot it!

When he saw that the results were no different from what he expected, he had a confident and happy smile on his face.

The golden boy chases the wind, and the green shade is galloping!

"Michael Irving! Irving! Irving! Irving! He helped England equalise! Sharp directional breakthroughs, fast as the wind, and superb shots! The Czechs are just 1 minute away from taking a 1-0 lead into the dressing room! At half-time, if they had taken a one-goal lead, the second half would have been very different, but now back to a draw, the Czechs couldn't hold on to the last minute of the first half! ”

The roar of the Three Lions fans rang out from the Dragon Stadium, and the sound shook the sky!

Aldridge also shook his fist while smiling on the sidelines.

This ball is very important!

Although the score is a draw, the shape will be more and more beneficial to England!

Brückner couldn't hide his disappointment.

The study of the England team has been done very well.

A top striker like Owen has three biggest characteristics, first, shooting, needless to say. Second, speed, especially the speed of the combination of man and ball, the speed of breakthrough, is very tricky, and it is necessary to limit his space for movement and not give him the space and opportunity to start the explosion. Third, positioning.

If Owen has been at the front of the front line, his speed will be difficult to play in the absence of space, and it is his movement that needs to be marked, and only after the running position is free from the defense will his shooting skills be activated, and there is a stage to show his strengths.

Brückner didn't expect that Gerrard, the midfielder, not only played a shadow striker in this tournament, but his appearance could not be said to be perfect, at least the rating was not low, and now he has directly started the task of responding to the front line, which is similar to the fulcrum, but more flexible than the fulcrum.

If Gerrard didn't go up, it would be useless for Owen to withdraw and create his own space, because no matter how fast and strong the breakthrough ability is, it is still very difficult to break through two or three players.

When Gerrard did cover and contain, and Owen retreated at the same time to have space to break through with the ball, the two defenders of the Czech team, Ujfalusi was stronger, faintly reached the first-class level, and there was still room for improvement at the age of 26, but the 30-year-old Borf was dwarfed, originally in the arrangement of the Czech team's back line, Brückner had complementary considerations, and Jankulovski was more capable than Grigra, so Jankulovski and Bolf were in the left half, and Ujfalusi and Grigla were in the right half, who would have thought, Today's offensive and defensive switching rhythm is simply off the charts, Ashley Cole can't come back if he goes up, and Jankulovski can't come back if he goes up!

Of course, Owen didn't rush to the middle, took the right side and blew up Bolf directly, and then completed the goal, Brückner had no choice, slowed down the tempo, or reduced the range of Jankulovski's assists, and the Czech team's attack would be greatly affected, and it would be a dilemma.

It is basically the same as the routine of the Czech team scoring the goal of the England team, and the England team is also a striker in front of the containment and attraction to make a strategy, and then insert the player to form a fatal blow, relying on the player's personal ability at the critical moment, Nedved's world wave is not accidental, he has this ability, and Owen's dribbling breakthrough and scoring goals is not accidental.

The referee did not give a minute or a second of stoppage time, the first half went very smoothly, both sides did not ink, dead balls rarely happened, set-pieces, sideline kicks, goal kicks and the like, both teams rushed to serve, and the referee was tired enough.

Poor Golden Whistle Collina is 44 years old, there are a total of 23 people on the field, who is the most tired?

It's the referee Corina!

However, this black-clothed law enforcement officer with a stern face was very excited in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly praise the Czech team and the England team in his heart.

This game also has a special meaning for Collina!

This is his "curtain call".

The legal retirement age for international referees is 45 years old, and Corina will turn 45 in February next year, so the designation of this match as the referee by UEFA is an affirmation and reward for his work.

Because he blew the opening match of this European Cup, he missed the final, and the penultimate game of the European Championship can be regarded as the "farewell game" of Corina on the international stage.

No matter how hard and tiring he was, Corina was always within 25 yards of the ball, and he was working hard, even though many people couldn't see it, and even the spectators seemed to ignore his sustenance.

He didn't have any grievances or grievances.

This is the highest level of football referee enforcement competition!

Forgotten!

When holding the ball and walking towards the players' tunnel, Corina secretly adjusted his breathing, and he was a little overwhelmed by the non-stop running for 45 minutes, but he was still looking forward to the second half of England and the Czech Republic to continue to play wonderful games and make his international stage swan song a classic, even if he didn't even count as a supporting role!

His thoughts were in line with those of the fans, who would not have been able to feel the passage of time had it not been for Corina's whistle.

1:1 is not the end, there are still 45 minutes to look forward to, and even more! (To be continued......)
