"What a wonderful goal! David Beckham scores from distance! It was definitely another classic goal of his career! The perfect combination of arc and degree, from the moment the shot beat the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper misjudged, he and us mortals think, this ball must have been kicked off, but Beckham just has the magic to make the football go around in circles and finally fly into the goal! David Beckham's goal gave England a two-goal lead and England were one step closer to a precious three points! ”

The red card of the World Cup in '98, the clash with fans when he lost the European Cup in 2ooo, Xiaobei has not escaped the accusations of England fans before Aldridge took over the national team, and is on the cusp.

But after Aldridge took office, the focus was shifted, and at the same time the England national team took on a new look, Xiaobei as the vice captain of the team, with the rebound of this wave of national team popularity, the contradiction between him and the fans began to weaken, and now there is a goal, the English fans who arrived cheered for him, and the heartthrob also ran excitedly to celebrate, and came to the sidelines with open arms to become the attention.

Aldridge lowered his head on the sidelines and swung a single fist in front of him, his mind completely settled.

Falling behind by two goals, the momentum of the Greek team will be suppressed to the bottom, and even if they continue to fight back with all their might, they may lose their minds.

After all, the current Greece is not the mythical division tempered by Rehhagel, which is tactically disciplined and can go black to the end in the European Cup!

The England commentator was full of praise for today's national team's performance.

"Now England is under Hall's tutelage, and all the strengths and advantages are being used. Maika's raiding ability drives Owen's finishing ability. Paul Scholes' playmaking up front and the threat of opening the net from behind, as well as the long-range threat from Frank Lampard and David Beckham on the periphery! It's a growing team and we're excited to see what England will do when the World Cup comes. ”

The English feel good about themselves and can't help but show it, and the World Cup qualifiers haven't even been played, and they are imagining the World Cup, which seems to be in their eyes. England don't have to worry about qualifying now.

Aldridge had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Greece completely unloaded all their psychological baggage, every player was crazy, the formation was so chaotic that it was impossible to analyze it reasonably, and the scramble reached a critical point inside and outside the rules, in other words, their fouls. The referee can play a card or not!

Crazy to rush, devil like a mad attack!

Completely out of the ordinary.

It's messy, the head coach of Greece waved his arms and told the players to come forward and attack, attack, attack!

As for how to attack, maybe he didn't know.

It depends on a lot of blood. An unyielding fighting spirit.

Anyway, Aldrich couldn't see the Greek tactical routines, they just swarmed up to create chaos, and the tactical routines that should have done their jobs became irregular. It's confusing.

This just wants to kill the master by punching him!

The Greek fans in the stands were moved from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the spirit of the players on the pitch who did not give up. The Athens Stadium erupted with unparalleled cheering sounds, which shook the sky!

It's as if the gods of Greek mythology are watching the battle from the top of the stadium! The momentum is overwhelming!

Aldridge was stunned on the sidelines, shocked by the abrupt reversal of the stadium.

1: o No insurance, the world knows.

2: O is the real danger!

Even Aldridge was psychologically relaxed before, thinking that the game should be able to be won smoothly, but what about the players on the field?

Most of them also think that Greece has been completely defeated, as long as they don't take it lightly, then, 3 points are in hand!

However, this is Greece after all, it is Athens, it is the place where myths were born, the Greeks did not give in, and the cheers of the fans in the stands made the sound of the roar of the crowd like a storm hitting everyone's heart.

And the Greek players on the field seem to be incarnated thousands of years ago when they fought against the pressure of the Persian army ten times stronger than themselves, those fierce and fearless warriors went on a rampage!

At that time, the alliance between Greece and Spartan warriors relied on the round shield phalanx that appeared in history, and the overall battle defeated the invading army of the Persian Dynasty.

Now, as if through the millennium, the Greek players seem to be advancing as a whole, but it is more like a huddle with both impact and surprise effect.

And most importantly, it had the effect of catching England off guard!

"Greece is on the offensive continuously! Shot! Seaman blocks the ball, Greece shoots and hits Ferdinand and pops off the bottom line, corner! ”

Greece won a corner, in the cheering of tens of thousands of compatriots, they opened a corner kick that is not too high-quality, landed in the front point, a Greek player grabbed the front point, shook his head to do the ball in the direction of the goal, after the header relay, England's corner kick defense in front of the goal leaked, a Greek player jumped high, smashed his head next to Lampard, the ball flew straight to the goal, Seaman subconsciously saved, in vain.

The ball flew into the goal and rolled out of the net and onto the turf.

The Greek player picked up the ball and ran to the backcourt.

The stands of the Athens Stadium were completely boiling, and the cheers were like thunder, like the praise of the gods!

"Greece did not give up! Didn't give up! They worked tirelessly to pull a goal back, and through the corner kick scored the ball, 1:2, with 25 minutes to go, they had every chance, as long as they didn't give up, the final result of the game was still full of suspense! ”

Seeing Greece's goal, Aldridge sighed softly.

The worst is born.

Greece's momentum is high, if you insist on two or three more minutes without scoring, this momentum will naturally dissipate, because the game has reached the critical point of the player's physical fitness, at this time, the player needs mental support, if there is no goal, most players in Greece may be accompanied by a decline in physical fitness and affect the fighting spirit, but the goal is scored, the effect is diametrically opposite!

It is difficult to criticize England's corner kick defense as problematic, without the team's set-piece defense, they will never concede a goal, this link has always been full of uncertainties, and their own defense is passive first. Is it to limit the opponent, and the opponent's set-piece attack will have a fixed routine? Change is full of variables in every run. Secondly, Aldridge's set-piece defensive arrangement is zone marking, with height, confrontation, and a player with a header advantage holding the key area, and then other defensive players using guò judgment to mark, this is still theoretical, in practice. Opponents don't necessarily have an even distribution of attacking points, and the quality of set-pieces is also a key factor.

The biggest variable in this conceded goal is the first aerial relay, no one expected the quality of the opponent's corner kick to be so poor, landing at the front point outside the small penalty area, that position, teammates have almost no other choice. It can only be ferried with a very difficult header, but Greece has it.

The England players subconsciously looked to the sidelines for the first time after conceding the goal, and the focus of their eyes was Aldridge.

They were really beaten all at once!

The score was still ahead, but Greece's "violent" style of play scored the goal. Their hearts were shaken.

Are we unable to prevent the opponent from playing like this?

If the opponent can score goals with a fighting spirit, why should we still play with our brains?

Perhaps Aldridge, in emphasizing tactical discipline, overinstilled in them that they need to use their brains to play football. They need to be more flexible, which does dampen the momentum of the players themselves.

Like Frank Lampard and Becky. In order to achieve a balance between offense and defense, there can only be one person at the front line, and when they are in a state of excitement, they need to use the coach's advice to suppress, stay calm, and avoid destroying the tactical system set by the coach.

This situation is not the norm, but it is special in the England national team, other top teams, Portugal's Figo, Rui Costa, France's Zinedine Zidane, Brazil's Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, etc., these strong players, they have a lot of freedom, excited, playing "violent" is actually showing unparalleled talent.

But what if England's players are too excited? The technical weakness of the ball control itself, and the over-exertion of the guide is nothing more than a mistake, and then the guide is used by the opponent to catch and counterattack, so Aldridge must start from the tactical level, rather than counting on the players to be clever.

With their feet, world-class players can take on the backline, can England's players do? Since it doesn't work, use your brain!

When the players on the field looked to the sidelines, Aldrich knew that they were confused, struggling, and looking for a solution.

Aldridge never expected that this match in Greece would come into such a dangerous situation.

If the match had been equalised or reversed with a 2:o lead, the authority he had built for the national team and the mutual trust between coach and player would have been wiped out in an instant!

It is not only a game that is lost, but also the efforts of the past and the cornerstone of the future.

Is Athens, the home of the gods, digging a grave for Aldrich?

Not only were the players' eyes on Aldridge for answers, but the live cameras were also focused on him.

Everyone can see that England's momentum on the road is significantly inferior to that of Greece.

Aldrichion straightened his chest and looked indifferent, his left hand was in the pocket, and his right hand was swung down from the top, pressing down with one palm, and he did not move for a long time.

Steady!

To put it bluntly, if you retreat now, England's momentum will be completely suppressed by Greece, and there is no possibility of improvement, and it will be a big question whether it can hold on.

If it is an attack, it may increase the risk of conceding another goal in the case of Greece's momentum.

Going further, taking a step back, is not a good choice.

Now, the best option is to hold on!

Don't be surprised by the chaos, this is the wind of the strong!

On the field, the English players saw Aldridge standing on the sidelines without any panic, and the right hand in the downward posture seemed to contain a magical power, which made their mentality quickly calm, eliminate all distractions, and implement the manager's tactical arrangement.

As the team restarted, Aldridge's eyes rose slightly and he cast his eyes into the night sky of Athens.

Thanks Greece!

The sword is sharpened, even though the friendly match has played Spain and Brazil, but the friendly match is after all a training nature, and the main match is to abuse Albania, and now meet a second-rate team Greece with a bit of strength, the opponent's fighting spirit in a desperate situation can actually be described as the courage of the horseman, but it is this courage that can hone the England national team.

Withstanding the pressure, calming down, dealing with it calmly, and winning, will promote the cohesion of the national team and even sublimate the team's temperament.

Even if it can't achieve the effect of becoming a hero, at least, it can let them experience a mental cleansing from the inside out.

If he loses and is eventually reversed and equalised, Aldridge will immediately take the blame and resign.

Football is a team competition after all, not only the 11 players on the field, but also the head coach, Aldridge has done everything he can, he has a clear conscience, and he has given everything he can bring to this team, but the team itself can't pass its own level, can't grow up in the experience, and Aldridge doesn't want to mistake people anymore.
