At the Saitama World Cup Stadium, the audience held their breath in the stands, the hearts of Swedish fans have sunk to the bottom, and England fans are swinging their arms and are ready to go!

McManamantongguò's individual ability disrupted the Swedish team's defense at the back line, tearing apart the central defense, he did not attack the opponent's back line, and Owen and Scholes ran forward, like two arrows on the bowstring, if the defenders moved, they will go straight to the heart of the Swedish team!

Because of this, Lampard followed the middle corridor opened up by McManaman, and there were Owen and Scholes at the front line to contain the last iron gate, and the England team's attack was interlocking and tight.

Frank Lampard sprinted into the box at full speed and fired a furious shot with a powerful force, the ball suddenly unloaded like a cannonball, blooming in a dazzling trajectory, and no one could see the ball clearly, because the speed was indescribable.

In the blink of an eye, when people saw the ball clearly, they suddenly found that the ball had been slowed down from the inside of the goal by the net, and then rolled out again!

The passion that erupted from the stands of the stadium seemed to shake the mountains for a while!

"England have scored! England scored! Frank Lampard, 24-year-old Frank Lampard scored England's first goal of the tournament! No one can stop this kick burst, no one can stop it! Even if Sweden has a god possessed, and a god descends to earth, it can't be stopped! Can't stop England's determination to score, can't stop England's fighting spirit to take away victory! Great England, is opening the door to victory! ”

"Martin, Andy, have to say. The goal was epoch-making. Because from the goal process. We see the obvious Hall brand, this is Aldridge Hall's England team, no longer England of 442, but England of 4321! The offense is varied, and although there are not many offensive players involved, each of them is crucial! David Beckham instigated the attack, McManaman created the space after Frank Lampard cut in, Owen. Paul Scholes, whose running threat made it seem like a sword of Damocles hung over Sweden's backline, and finally, McManaman set up Frank Lampard as the 24-year-old midfielder sent the ball into Sweden's goal in a brutal but blood-boiling fashion! ”

Frank Lampard burst into the corner flag area to celebrate, and his team-mates all rushed to him, joining him in waving their fists at the crowd of England fans in the stands and erupting into Three Lions roars!

At this moment, in the UK, in front of countless televisions. Countless fans in the bar were dancing and shouting in celebration. Or raise a glass and cheer.

England in the first 25 minutes was worrying, it seemed that there was nothing to look forward to, and even neutral fans would have a thought: if such England can win the World Cup, God is blind!

However, England in the last 20 minutes made the eyes of neutral fans shine, England's smooth offensive and defensive system, as well as the tacit cooperation of the attacking group in the frontcourt, coupled with the endless offensive changes, people began to change their views of England and have a trace of expectation.

Needless to say, England fans, they swept away the gloom in their hearts before the start of the World Cup, all kinds of negative rumors about the England team disappeared, and they saw a strong England, just like the majestic and cold, god-like Three Lions coach standing on the sidelines!

Aldridge closed his eyes after Frank Lampard's goal, slammed his right hand into a fist, and then opened his eyes again, his expression unchanged, clapping at the players on the pitch and pressing down with both hands, signaling that he had to hold up his defence in the little time left in the first half and that he must finish the half with a lead and walk into the dressing room.

The two coaches of the Swedish team, Schederberg and Lagerbeck, looked solemn, Schederberg was cheering up the players and boosting their fighting spirit, while Lagerbeck, the coach in charge of the tactical division of labor, had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

In just 20 minutes of eruption, England beat Sweden without a fight, not for nothing, strategically this is the success of the England team, and in terms of tactical details, it is also the success of the England team.

They are no longer a team that plays forward and attack, and despite the individual skills of the players, it still cannot be said that the whole team is delicate and gorgeous.

But the Three Lions created by Aldridge, whether it is the overall layout or the team's kneading, has a very strong sense of hierarchy, and the ability of the players has also brought the advantages to the extreme!

Scholes in front of Scholes, behind Becky, the former with a short pass, the latter with a long pass, McManaman dribbling, Owen running and Frank Lampard cutting in behind

Saying that England is not good, picking their faults and shortcomings, there are countless baskets, but it does not mean that they are useless, give full play to their advantages, plus the most prominent feature of these players: physical running!

Aldrich's Three Lions don't have the best talent, but they can still be unparalleled in the world!

The first half ended when Ibrahimovic fired a long-range shot from 35 yards out of goal into the stands, and Sweden's two managers, Ragerbeck and Schederberg, knew that the break was too important for them and that the situation became very difficult.

While the England commentators were discussing the first half of the game, Aldridge did not praise the players in the dressing room, and it was only 45 minutes to go, far from the time to relax.

"1:0, we are ahead, the situation is very good for us, now, we have better room to play, in the second half the Swedish team will definitely strengthen the attack, we should not be afraid, we must keep a cool head, we can't hold on to the idea of holding on because of the lead"

In the locker room, Aldridge carefully arranged the tasks of the second half of the game, in fact, at this time, he will emphasize more on mentality and will not make too many tactical adjustments.

The best environment for this technique and tactics is to play counter-attacks, and the more he adjusts too much, the more chaotic the players themselves will be.

Now that you can see at a glance that this is a team with an overall style, Aldridge needs the team to be stable and not rash.

In the second half, Aldridge stood on the sidelines and watched the Swedish team's offensive and defensive adjustments.

At half-time, Sweden will of course adjust.

As soon as the second half began, the obvious change was that in attack, the midfielders pressed forward with more pressure. The tendency to press forward is evident in the attack. But this forward pressure is still a deterrent. A kind of containment, they still don't dare to rush directly in front of the penalty area like Lampard, or even step into the penalty area, why? What should I do if I go up and can't come back?

Containment is to give Ibrahimovic, Ljungberg, and Larsson more opportunities.

Sweden's adjustments will not disrupt England's deployment, as essentially. England's 4321 is to hope that the opponent will attack, no matter how the opponent attacks, as long as the attack is out, the England team will successfully defend and quickly launch a fast attack after switching from defense to attack, and the space for counterattack will be greater.

In the 51st minute, Bart cut off Svensson's pass to Ibrahimovic, and quickly passed the ball straight forward after breaking the ball, and Scholes, who retreated to receive it, was in the area behind Svensson, which was the space for a fast attack. The defense after grabbing the opponent's offensive input cannot return to position in time.

Scholes took the ball with his back and knocked it back to Becky without stopping. Beckham repeated his old trick and handed a long pass from mid-range to McManaman, who pulled out of space.

The threat of the Curly Dogs with the ball was evident in the latter stages of the first half, becoming the centre of gravity of Sweden's defence, but they stepped up their attack, which was weakened by the fast break on this side.

McManaman stopped sticking to the ball and played a diagonal pass to Scholes on the other side, who was already in front of Sweden's back line.

Ginger Head still doesn't stop the ball and stuffs the ball directly into the penalty area.

Irving half-turned to receive the ball next to Anderson, using his speed to rush past Anderson's half-position, and although the angle facing the goal was a little small, the shot should be fine.

Owen half-turned and volleyed, and after the shot, Owen looked up to the sky again with the huge sighs of the England fans in the stadium.

The ball hit the side-netting and missed the goal.

"Owen doesn't seem to be in shape today, the last kick is a bit bad, once in the first half, once in the second half, he shouldn't be at this level, if it's the best Owen, he can score at least one!"

"Yes, but Hall has put all the bets on Owen on the front, and now we can only hope that Owen's form can quickly adjust."

Aldridge also saw that Owen was not in the best condition, and could only say that in this game, Owen's table was two extremes for the time being.

There are two types of statuses.

One is the competitive state, that is, the play of technical ability.

One is the state of the body, as the name suggests, the state of the body's hardware.

Owen's extreme performance is that he is in good physical condition, which is reflected in his movement and speed, while his competitive form is not at the normal level, which is reflected in the quality of his shooting.

These two states are also the reason why the flow of power and the flow of technology can be opposed for a long time, regardless of a player's competitive state, his physical state will not be too different when there is no injury or illness.

Take Owen as an example, no matter how bad his state is, but his speed will not decline significantly, when it is time to run, he can still run, and those players who are physically excellent are the same, when the state is poor, they may stop the ball and pass the ball, which are not satisfactory, but the muscle strength of the body will not disappear or muscle atrophy, and the decline in physical condition will not be obvious.

Owen's situation Aldridge is mentally prepared and gave him plenty of time to recover physically, which is the reason why he can still play to his physical strengths, but his competitive state comes from being overused by Liverpool, Liverpool reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, in the league, Owen scored 19 goals, and the state can be described as very good, however, it is difficult for a player's competitive state to maintain his peak throughout the season, Owen's best form played in Liverpool, and now it has fallen back and wants to be stimulated again, except for his personal adjustments, There is also a need for competitions.

So Aldridge can accept the current Irving, give him time to recover, to adjust, from the game, slowly motivate, if there is no game, Irving will have no time to count on.

In the second half, the Swedish team not only made adjustments in attack, but also made major adjustments in defense, that is, the full-backs abandoned the wings and directly entered the middle, or helped the midfielders fill the position, or helped the central defenders to mark people.

This is the adjustment that Lagerbeck made in his analysis of England's entire attack in the first half in the middle of the attack, with England barely visible from the flanks within 40 yards, and the full-backs defending the flanks redundant.

3 minutes later, England once again penetrated the Swedish team's midfield defense, Sweden's midfielder except Ljungberg, the strength of other players is quite far from the first-class level, and the team they play for is not a first-class club, in terms of strength, it is not difficult for England to penetrate the opponent's midfield defense, but the number of England team into the attack is not much, Owen received the ball in the right position in front of the penalty area and hit the opponent's last line of defense head-on.

Owen, who broke through with the ball, was successfully cut off by Erdman and Anderson, which once again made people see that Owen was not in shape, this is the competitive state, without the ball, Owen looks fine, but the ball is at his feet, and his competitive state is clear at a glance.

Owen looked a little disappointed and couldn't help but become impatient, but when he looked back at the sidelines, he saw Aldridge giving him a thumbs up, although the other party's expression looked a little cold, but Owen's mentality immediately changed, he knew that the head coach was supporting him at this moment, tolerating his mistakes, and giving him enough patience.

Owen stopped thinking and calmly began to adjust.

Since he is in a bad state with the ball, he simply plays his good side and contributes something else to the team! (To be continued......)
