By the time Aldridge gave his pre-match interview, the brutal knockout rounds of the World Cup had already begun. ()

First up were Germany and Paraguay.

The German team took the lead in advancing to the top 8 with Neuville's stunner before the end!

However, for this game, it did not let the enthusiasm of the World Cup continue to push **.

As Beckenbauer said of the game: apart from the brilliant combination of goals, the game was nothing to watch.

Other mainstream media commented on the German team in much the same way: physical superiority, rough technique, and no strong team demeanor.

Even the German media maintained this view, cheering for the German team to reach the quarterfinals, but was not satisfied with the team's performance.

In the evening, the Nordic Civil War was staged.

The Danish team, which relied on Tomasson to score four goals in the group stage, became passive when Tomasson was unable to threaten, and the Swedish team won the game 2:o with Larsson and Svensson's respective contributions, and the Swedish team also successfully advanced to the top 8!

Sweden have managed to qualify from the Group of Death and are now one step further in reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup, but it will be too difficult for them to reach the last four as they will face the winner between Brazil and Belgium.

The next day, the whole England team arrived in the southern part of Kyushu Island in the morning and was warmly welcomed by countless English fans, many of whom followed the whole process.

Just after noon, around the Oita Stadium, the color of the jersey and skin color between the English and the African became the mainstream of the surrounding area.

This course, which is commonly known as the Big Eye, is like a god coming to the court, and the seats are set up in advance. Above the sky. Wait for a thrilling war in the shade to begin.

Aldrich, as usual. There is no emphasis on the fighting spirit of the players, and this calmness has been affecting the whole team from the beginning of training, making them calm.

It was a sunny day, and Aldridge walked into the stadium at half past two in the afternoon, listening to the cheers of England fans and Senegalese fans, as if a heat wave was rolling. In this weather, it is even hotter.

Aldridge and Mechu met on the sidelines, and the two shook hands solemnly, and their eyes tacitly contained a sense of respect in each other's eyes.

It is a kind of fate to meet in the World Cup, and it is a skill to meet in the round of 16.

England's players stand in the tunnel with all their faces stern, from the bloodbath away to Germany at the end of last year to the recent excellent performance in the group stage, the transformation of England's temperament is even more impressive.

They didn't say a word. It doesn't give people a relaxed sense of immediacy, it's more like a group of iron warriors.

Not relaxed. There is no over-inflated self-confidence, giving people a sense of majesty and a firm persistence.

In the eyes of others, you will see that this is a cohesive team, a team with pursuits, and a team that is difficult to be defeated!

The Senegalese players looked at the England players next to them, as opponents, obviously, they were not as famous as England, but the Senegalese players also had a persistence in their eyes.

Mechu said before the match that he would not think about the rest and would only focus on the round of 16.

The Senegalese player also appeared unambitious in an interview.

The best result for an African team at the World Cup is the last eight, and the Senegalese players say they are playing in the World Cup for the first time and they will be very happy and satisfied if they reach the last eight.

When the players from both sides came on the field, it was obvious that the Senegalese players had suddenly changed their expressions and were full of fighting spirit.

Eleven players share the same belief in their hearts, led by two of the front's top scorers, Diouf and Kamara: fight for African football!

2oo2, no one thought that Senegal would be the last to carry the banner of African football!

Tunisia, South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, 5 African teams participating in the World Cup, 4 failed in the group stage, and the last remaining strength in Africa is Senegal!

'The highly anticipated knockout stages of the World Cup have already begun, and this afternoon we can finally see England in action, Senegal are a very strong team, they are in their first World Cup, they are in the same group as the defending champions France, they were thought to be impossible to qualify from the group, but they did so and they beat France and shocked the world.

"That's right, Senegal is the biggest dark horse in this tournament, but in my opinion, it may be that the outside world underestimated them and didn't understand them, if you calm down and analyze this team carefully, they have obvious advantages, pragmatic and passionate play, and there are French coaches like Mechu who inject some Latin elements into them, however, they still have obvious shortcomings, the last 3:3 with Uruguay was incredible, and they almost collapsed with a three-goal lead. This reflects the dark horse's lack of experience in the competition and the instability of his mental state. Hopefully England can take advantage of that. ”

"Gary has a point, we will expect England to keep Senegal in check, and now we will introduce the line-ups of both sides.

England 4321.

Goalkeeper: Seaman.

Defenders: Phil Neville, Ferdinand, Southgate, Ashley Cole.

Midfielders: David Beckham, Bart, Frank Lampard.

Forwards: Scholes, McManaman.

Forward: Owen.

Senegal 532.

Goalkeeper: Selva.

Defenders: Colli, M. Diop, Cisse, Diatta, Dave.

Midfielders: B-Diop, Sjaf, Faye.

Forwards: Kamara, Diouf.

The game started immediately, starting with Senegal's kick-off. ”

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with his arms on his chest, his eyes were blazing, Senegal put forward 5 defenders today, although it will make it difficult for the England team, but the opponent's defense is not a sharp team after all, how to put the formation, it doesn't matter, the key is the technical and tactical characteristics.

After the opening kick-off, Diouf, an African who has played in Ligue 1 for the last two seasons, used his skilful possession to create a threat on the left side of the pitch.

Aldridge lost his temper at the beginning and yelled at Xiaobei: "What I said to you yesterday, have you forgotten?" ”

Xiaobei didn't dare to fight back. Don't even dare to look at Aldrich, who has a stiff face. He gritted his teeth. Immediately go harder to defend Diouf.

He was only broken through by Diouf once, but it caused Aldrich's thunderous rage.

Regardless of what Beckham thinks, Aldridge can't allow the team to make low-level mistakes anyway.

Senegal's attack did not have many unexpected attacking points, and Diouf was a very important point, his ability to dribble through, get rid of possession, and partially tear apart the opponent's defense, which is an important offensive means for Senegal.

If you really want to say how awesome Senegal is. That must be fake, they qualified from the group, it was just a surprise win over France, the French team failed, they had their own problems, Zidane was not present, they were underestimated, etc.

Then Denmark, Uruguay, Senegal still scored, but they didn't win!

They have passion. But passion is not synonymous with strength.

Becky's problems are common and the most common ones for players.

England are at the heart of their counter-attacking strategy. In any case, we must first guard against the other party, and if we can't prevent it, there will be no way to talk about counterattack.

On the left-hand side, Berganeville was a club team-mate and spent most of his time together last season, as Phil's brother was on the sidelines at centre-back.

Who is Diouf? Which shallot?

He doesn't have any fame at all, and he plays for the best team in Ligue 1.

But if Xiaobei showed the attitude and action of playing the Argentine defense Gonzalez and Little Flea, how could he be broken through by Diouf?

This is the psychological natural reaction brought about by the difference in magnitude, just like an adult boxing, the opponent is a child, naturally not interested.

In terms of individual ability, Diouf is really incomparable to Little Flea or Gonzalez, the first-line stars who once set off a huge wave in European football in Valencia.

If you run into players like Overmars, Ronaldo, Figo, etc., and Xiaobei is broken, Aldridge will not criticize him at all, but Diouf, no!

It's like Diouf slapping England in the face!

And this is obviously what Aldridge focused on at the pre-game preparation meeting.

Whether or not the players didn't get into the groove at the beginning, Aldridge couldn't tolerate it.

Xiaobei woke up the spirit of 12 points, and did not hesitate to force up when defending Diouf in the next time, increasing his aggressiveness, Diouf was very flexible to smash the ball to get rid of the breakthrough outside, but he just passed Xiaobei, Phil Neville immediately grabbed and made a successful steal, and England switched from defense to attack!

This is the defensive effect that should be, Xiaobei must not be cleaned, even if the opponent breaks through, it must interfere and obstruct its next action, or the confrontation of physical contact, or small actions, can be.

England's galloping counter-attack was repeated as Senegal's midfield three could not stop them from attacking with a heavy force evenly distributed forward.

However, the opponent put up a back five, crossed the midfield line, and it was almost impossible to break through the back line.

6o meters of cross-section, 5 people to defend, even if someone drags back, counting the sideline itself is a layer of defense, which is equal to 7 points, each person is responsible for less than 1o meters, left and right points, it is 5,6 meters, plus with the opponent's attack, the defense line will be appropriately tilted, not only compressing the breakthrough line, but also shortening the distance between each other and getting a lot closer.

However, England's attacking approach to the front line looks exactly the same as playing Argentina, with McManaman pulling the side!

However, McManaman is mainly controlling the ball and attracting the opponent's defensive strength, and he will not make the next breakthrough, which is meaningless.

Breaking through the bottom line, it will definitely not cut inside, and crosses are not the established tactics of the England team.

However, in the third minute, England still played a very dangerous attack.

McManaman controlled the ball on the right flank, patiently waiting for the opposition to be surrounded by two players and then passing the ball back to the middle.

Scholes knocked too hard and Frank Lampard burst up and slammed a shot at goal.

Long shot!

Senegalese goalkeeper Selva made a brilliant save to keep the ball out of the line!

The England fans in the stands let out loud sighs and applause as they applauded Frank Lampard's long-range shot from goal.

"Hehe, break the three routines of dense defense, breakthrough, long shot, set piece, if the England team wants to use a breakthrough, I'm afraid that in addition to Owen and McManaman, no other player can be counted on, and Owen and McManaman have a very limited ability to break through in a small area, but we have a lot of good long-range shooters, plus Senegal is heavily armed in the last line, they can't block the point of our long-range shot, today's Hall's tactical ideas are clear at a glance, just play long-range shots, and at the same time should make a fuss about set-pieces, Beckham's set-piece footwork, if not used, is a pity. ”

Andy Gray just watched the offense and commented sharply.

When he saw that McManaman was not in a hurry to make the next move after winning the ball on the wing, he was attracting the opposing defender, and he guessed Aldridge's tactical arrangement today. (To be continued......)
