Another night has fallen, and another team has said goodbye to the European Championship.

Nedved left the Dragons with a feeling of regret that was even more regrettable than in '96, because in '04 he was like the sun sinking to the horizon now, not eight years ago.

Corina is also gone, and the swan song of the world-class referee who has erected an exemplary monument to the refereeing world has come to an end.

Aldridge hugged every England player, and everyone was extremely excited, but he keenly felt that when he hugged Rooney, Rooney seemed reluctant to say anything to him, even if it was a cheer for the icing on the cake, and did not want to open his mouth.

Troublesome xù? Feeling bad? Stubborn?

Aldridge can't manage so much, as long as Rooney doesn't break out in the team, Aldridge is very short on time now, and after that's all he has to say, he is just trying to do his job to the best of his ability.

In the post-match interview, there were a lot of questions from reporters surrounding Rooney.

Super Rooney is famous all over the world.

"Wayne Rooney had a very good appearance today, he lived up to the expectations of the team, but he is still young, his future is very bright, I don't think it was wrong to let him play as a substitute before, England went to the final, every player is indispensable, we are a collective, we have a team, we have our own roles and responsibilities, try our best to do our best, you can burst out the most powerful fighting power."

Whether it's Fleet Street or the media outside of England, there will always be a lot of noise.

Calling on Rooney to play the main team, the voice of playing the starting line is endless.

This was already seen in the group stage.

However, Aldridge never wavered from his strategy of using Rooney, who was an eye-catcher off the bench. The better he looks. Aldridge became more determined in his decision. It means that his idea is correct, on the contrary, if Rooney does not play well off the bench and is in a slump, Aldridge will reflect on whether it is time to change the use of Rooney.

Wayne Rooney is a new character to European football as a whole, as he is only 18 years old, even though he scored at the World Cup two years ago. But it was an inconsequential match, and then there was a scandal that overshadowed his green field shine.

In the past two years, he has made a name for himself professionally at Everton, but he has not landed on the European stage, he is a genius, but he is still an inconspicuous small role.

It's like Owen is a giant python in the eyes of his opponent, and if he is not careful, he will be bitten by Owen, so he will naturally be extremely vigilant. And Rooney, who despises him, will think that he is an inconspicuous little earthworm, but when Rooney explodes. The opponent was hit hard, and this is how he reacted. It turns out that this little earthworm is a mythical beast cub! The initial attributes are amazing!

There are not many aces in the back of the England team, and they are close to none, especially in the front line, if Aldridge does not hide a hand, I am afraid that there will be a lack of aggression in tactical changes.

Journalists hope Aldrich looks ahead to the final.

Aldridge had calmed down at this time and solemnly replied: "England has no time to celebrate this historic victory, within 70 hours, we have to recover, we have to return to Lisbon, we have to rest, we have to prepare, and Portugal, 24 hours before us, is waiting for the final opponent in Lisbon, we have to race against time, there is no time for us to squander, the final in three days, the goal is clear, we don't want to leave regrets after a long effort." ”

After the post-match interview, Aldridge led the team back to the hotel for a post-match recovery.

The coaching staff worked more seriously than before, and even Jenson simply took a chair and sat at the staircase of the floor, and took turns with other coaches to monitor the movements of the players, in addition to preventing the players from getting too excited and going out of the hotel to have fun, but also to deal with emergencies in the first place, in case a player is unwell, they will respond as quickly as possible.

England qualified for the final of the European Championship.

Countless people in England cheered, in addition to the player's fame, many media also called for the knighthood of the important contributors to this group of England internationals.

Like the new captain Becky, the low-key Scholes, and Southgate, who withdrew from the national team due to injury, and so on.

While the knighthood certainly won't be the highest rank like Aldrich, it will at least be able to wear the title of SIR.

The next day, after a night's rest, the England team returned to Lisbon from Porto and returned to the hotel in Lisbon as scheduled.

On this day, Aldridge also finalized the tactics for the decisive match against Portugal.

Two years ago, England was monotonous, with a set of counter-attacks to beat the world.

Two years later, England's tactics at the European Championship were even more unpredictable, thanks to the team's stability and tacit understanding, as well as the continuation of tactical consistency.

After a quiet day, England was in a new state of mind the day before the final, looking full of energy and desire to fight.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Aldridge announced the starting lineup, and in the conference room, Rooney, who had a calm expression, suddenly looked surprised.

Starting!

Aldridge put Rooney in the starting line-up, and Owen played on the bench!

Rooney felt incredible, he thought he would have to sit on the bench for 70, 80 minutes, or even 90 minutes, but he didn't expect that in the last final, Aldridge gave him a start!

Owen looked as usual, and nothing changed.

In England's fitness tracker, Owen was the worst.

In addition to his many appearances in Liverpool last season, there is also a fatal factor that is that the 24-year-old is obviously inferior to other players of the same age in terms of physique, which is a hidden danger that cannot be changed in the short term, not a three-day rest, a week, or even a month can be improved.

Since he started playing for Liverpool at the age of 17, between the ages of 17 and 24, he has made an average of more than 40 appearances in all competitions each season.

Some glass people are born with fragile bodies.

Some are not.

However, regardless of whether you are born with such a physique or not, through reasonable nurture and strengthening of the body, you can improve, reduce the probability of injury, and better extend the life of your career.

That's why Aldridge is more cautious with young players at Millwall, taking it a step-by-step approach and protecting the players is an important consideration.

Of course, like Ronaldo, because of his family, he has been playing football since he was a child, forcing himself to be stronger, and others will relax even if they play football since childhood, but he still spends his time exercising, in terms of football skills, his body is stronger than others, and it is also very normal, you know, before Ronaldo was born, her mother almost chose to have an abortion because of family constraints, it is conceivable that Ronaldo in the earliest period, nutritional supplements can not keep up, but he persevered and worked hard, Created a body and a will like steel.

Because of this, the fatigue of other players who recovered from one game in three days was just right, such as Frank Lampard, and so did Becky, but Owen was too bad.

Owen understands that Aldridge put him on the bench, in the past few years, the national team has assembled, Aldridge has occasionally talked about this topic in private communication with Owen, hoping that he can rest more at the club, Owen has explained Aldridge's hardships, but it is difficult to change anything, the club let him play, did he say to the coach: I want to rest, I will not play today.

Besides, he is still a young man, full of energy, and when he is over-consumed, he can't realize it, and when the accumulation of difficulties completely breaks out, he will remedy it, I am afraid that he will have more than enough heart and not enough strength.

This is just like what Chinese medicine says, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.

At this moment, the whole England team is united and unified.

No one cares what style the team plays, no one thinks about how to make themselves more eye-catching.

Everyone has only one goal: to win!

As long as you can win the championship, you can do anything!

So Aldridge's pre-match preparation today will be very smooth, there are no questions from the players, and Aldridge has not devised any new tricks tactically, just put forward requirements, the players can understand, and then keep in mind, have almost 24 hours to digest, and go all out when the game tomorrow.

Coming to the press room of the pre-match press conference, Aldridge faced a full room of reporters, waiting for questions with a stern expression.

A reporter first asked: "If you can lead LinkedIn Gran to win the European Championship, Sir Hall, you will add another very important championship record to your honor book, which will make you a football coach like no one before, right?" ”

Of course!

However, Aldridge replied in a deep voice: "Tomorrow's game is for England to fight for collective glory, and the essence of football is: without a team, you have nothing." So, I would prefer your question to be: if England can beat Portugal tomorrow to win the title, what does this title mean for England? ”

The reporter who asked the question smiled and asked, "So can you answer that?" ”

"It will be the first time in England's history that England have lifted the European Championships, and it will be a historic day for England fans all over the world, and it will naturally have special significance for the England national team, England as a nation. But I hope the players don't think about it until the end of the game, Portugal have a strong squad and they play at home, England want to make history here, it's very difficult, it's very difficult! ”

England will strive to make history.

Wouldn't Portugal?

In terms of desire to fight and will, no one between the two teams has an advantage, and it is not because the England team has not won the European Cup, full of ambition, that the fighting spirit and will are subjectively stronger than Portugal.

On the contrary, Portugal will have the advantage of sitting at home and having an extra day of rest than England, which will give Portugal an advantage over England. (To be continued......)
