828 A madman in shackles

The use of a change of edge will not show a fixed routine throughout the game, because the essence of it is "change".

This "change" requires a very high level of player ability.

If Aldrich didn't have the experience of his previous life, he wouldn't dare to try it lightly, even if he studied.

However, England have Ashley Cole in their squad.

In the original history, for up to eight years after 06, Wenger's creation of Arsenal's left side could not escape a fixed template, the left back was mainly based on speed assists, in front of the fullbacks, with a more organized player to play the wing position, not Wenger suddenly died on the No. 10 player, but the strongest offensive point of the undefeated division in 04 was the left side, Ashley Corga Pire's combination is the main force of the Gunners, and it is precisely because of that combination that he has reached the peak, Wenger has never forgotten this, He has been trying to recreate the glory of the past on the left side, but the results have been repeatedly unsatisfactory.

Aside from the player's ability, the combination may seem too far off in terms of template, but the reality is that the left-back after Arsenal can no longer play the kind of attacking speed and unpredictable movement threat of Ashley Cole.

During 02-04, Ashley Cole played full-back, but if you look at him and Pire's combination on the wing, plus Henry, you will find that Henry, Pire, most of them play in a basically fixed familiar area, and Ashley Cole is the one who provides variables and makes the offense unpredictable, he will transform into a player who appears in the interior position at the front of the attack, turning the opponent's defensive arrangement upside down, this kind of impact. He couldn't have done it alone. Requires the cooperation of teammates. It needs the support of team skills and tactics.

This is also the reason why Ashley Cole has been criticized for not being able to play at a price since his early transfer to Chelsea, and the ability of players to play naturally varies depending on the tactical system, which is also reflected in the fact that he plays for England, while England have long suffered from the lack of attacking strength on the left wing, because England just use him as an ordinary full-back, or an assist full-back.

As for Ashley Cole, the biggest controversy that has always existed is that the assists can't come back and forth, which is an overly rude accusation. Let's ask, the full-backs rush to the front line, the offense can't be played, the opponent plays a counterattack, no matter how fast the fullbacks are, can they be faster than the ball flying in the sky?

You can't ask the player to be superman, and this kind of problem, the German team in 74 has been solved, very simple, fill the position. But it's hard to do it well.

As a result, England are Gareth Southgate next to Ashley Cole, who is good at anticipating ball development. At the same time, Lampard is on this side, when Ashley Cole assists, he is also the first person to fill the side defense, the same is true on the other side, Becky and Phil Neville can only play one, England in the defense, not only to ensure that the defensive triangle does not move, but also on both sides or forward, or back, or midfielders or full-backs, to ensure that there is no space in the defensive cross-section, and both defensive level.

England are defence-oriented and counter-attacking as an important means, but they have a heavy presence in the midfield and have truly achieved the offensive and defensive balance that many top coaches seek when building their teams.

Bielsa made the first request on the spot, that is, to strengthen the speed play, but it was not in the positional battle, but after England counterattacked, they quickly instigated an offensive, wanting to use their own way to govern others, and fight the counterattack of England's counterattack!

In the 31st minute, Scholes crossed McManaman from the edge in front of the penalty area, and the latter's shot was confiscated by goalkeeper Caballero, and Argentina quickly instigated a counter-attack.

Bielsa watched the goalkeeper throw the ball to Zanetti, who was pulling on the side, and then turned his head to look at the England half, and suddenly looked helpless.

Phil Neville just came up with an assist, ran to the back after Scholes passed, Lampard who crossed the halfway line also recovered, and when Zanetti passed the ball to Ortega in front of him, England had seven people at the back, and the two rows of defense of the back four and three midfielders will be rearranged in less than 3 seconds, tight and orderly, and Scholes in the front will also return to the middle line.

Ortega dribbled along the wing to the inside, Lampard didn't grab him, stuck in the inside position, linked with Ashley Cole, if Ortega forced the inside cut, the two could close the door, even if he did break through, Southgate was waiting for him, the only space left for Ortega was to develop further down the wing, or, pass the ball back behind him, and the counter-attack turned into a positional battle.

Ortega turned under, Ashley Cole followed, the space in the box suddenly shrank, Ortega didn't try to force a strong cross, the ball went over Southgate's head, behind him, Barty was ready to head the spot, the old goalkeeper Seaman came out to take the ball away.

Aldrich's face did not change, his mood was not happy, Argentina's technical and tactical level, not as superb as he expected, this is probably also the place where there is a gap between South America and Europe, don't look at Argentina in South America, but in Europe, in the field of more technical and tactical aspects, they seem to be in South America how alternative and prominent offensive football skills and tactics system, in fact, it is full of loopholes, even counterattacks can not play tricks, speed, speed, in addition to speed, who has ever been able to come to a foot to the top of the transfer and scalpel-like straight plug?

In the absence of space, England did not have this kind of individual ability, but England could use guò tactics to create zào, and at this level, Aldridge did not feel any pressure on Bielsa.

England are defensively predominant, but their tempo changes are very noticeable, and when they are successful defensively, they immediately launch a planned fast attack, which will suddenly increase the tempo.

Seaman's goal kick was thrown directly into the midfield, the Argentine midfield was empty, Veron pressed it, the ball flew over his head, he turned to look, Scholes stopped the ball, turned around, and quickly dribbled forward, England's fast attack was coming down again.

And the clever way of England's fast attack technique and tactics is to hit the pressure first, that is, the depth, which makes Argentina panic.

Scholes dribbled up to McManaman and Owen and played a triangle pass before they arrived in front of Argentina's penalty area, an area that was enough to make Argentina nervous.

At this time, the England team will appropriately slow down the tempo and carry out the next step of organization, so that Argentina can not make the best choice by adjusting the defensive response on the basis of panic.

Scare you first, then charge up to deliver the fatal blow!

Beckham assisted up and down the right side of the penalty area, immediately attracting the defence, Scholes passed the ball to Becky, who adjusted a little and then took a big arc with his right foot to spare the back post on the other side.

Ashley Cole, who came up from the touchline, stopped the ball in front of the bottom line on the side, and at this time, the Argentine defense looked like it was about to collapse, and in the process of panning left and right, the gap came out.

Ashley Cole passed back to the top of the penalty area, McManaman missed in front of the point and shook Simeone, Scholes kept the ball straight to the right of the penalty area, Owen ran diagonally to Samuel and rushed to the ball, did not stop the ball, and directly half-turned and volleyed!

Samuel turned to block again, but couldn't interfere with Owen's shot, only to hear a thud, the ball bounced off the post, and goalkeeper Caballero sighed that he would not die.

"England had so little luck today! Two shots have already hit the woodwork and the post, and a goal has been blown away! ”

'Don't worry, we have the advantage on the pitch and obviously Argentina is not our opponent.'

Bielsa has now seen it completely.

The speed that Argentina has been pursuing, they didn't play, on the contrary, it was England who played and played to the fullest!

Every speed shock made the Argentine defense crumble!

The decisive factor: space!

At this time, Argentina wants to limit the England team, it is not as simple as simply letting the two sides of the midfield retreat, the midfield must be adjusted, England is heavily armed in the midfield, after Veron attacked, England played a counterattack for the first time, behind Veron, there is only one Simeone, let Simeone position premise, the England team can completely penetrate the midfield with a teaching of two over one.

To solve the defensive loopholes, the formation must be changed, the offensive and defensive posture must be changed, and the personnel must be adjusted.

Bielsa gritted her teeth, her expression showing a hint of stubbornness.

The score is behind.

There was no way back for him.

No matter how it changes now, it will be Argentina self-destructing the Great Wall, and this is the constraint brought by the extremely offensive and tactical system he has created, like a shackle.

The same is true for other teams, if England falls behind first, the opponent plays a defensive counterattack, and England makes adjustments, it will be a risk to gamble with their lives, because there is no room for the best advantage. (To be continued......)
