At the post-match press conference, Aldridge just sat down on the stage, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and many reporters had playful expressions and a sense of premeditated pranks.

When the questioning began, Aldrich was asked a question that left him stunned.

"Mr. Hall, in the 67th minute of the second half, when you replaced Owen and Beckham with Steven Gerrard and Heskey, why didn't you go back to your seat? Instead, he stood on the sidelines and put his hands behind his back. ”

Aldrich froze.

What kind of problem is this?

Does it make sense?

When he saw many reporters in the audience showing smiling expressions, he suddenly realized.

The action of rubbing his palms in the game was discovered.

Aldrich chuckled.

Since this matter has been asked, it can only be told the truth, after all, he is in the spotlight, and integrity is related to his reputation.

Just like the sex-scandal between US President Clinton and Lewinsky, the scandal is a moral criticism, but when it is questioned in Congress, Clinton's outright denial becomes a crisis of trust, no one is perfect, it is normal to make mistakes, but lying is sometimes more serious than some mistakes, and it will lose the trust of others.

Aldridge said with a smile: "Beckham and Owen may have been a little dissatisfied with the end of the game, so they took their anger out on me, they seemed to be going to fight with me, and the fight made my palms hurt a lot, I put my hands behind me and rubbed them, uh, it's normal, right?" ”

Ha lu haha

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

But the laughter was put to an end by a reporter's immediate question.

"Mr. Hall, you mean to say that Beckham and Owen are angry about your substitution. Is it? Owen wants to score more. David Beckham also wanted to play the full game. Right? How would you resolve this contradiction? ”

Aldrich's expression froze, and the other reporters in the audience stopped laughing, and turned their heads to look at the strange female reporter, probably a newcomer to the media.

These qualified reporters watched the game live, and they knew what was going on in the game, and they all understood that Aldridge was just joking.

Aldrich's witty style of speech during interviews has always been a favorite of journalists. Make the atmosphere light-hearted and less confrontational.

People are kidding, you take it seriously!

This time, Aldrich choked Aldrich with a helpless expression, and he really didn't know how to answer.

Oh, the others were surprised that the female reporter who didn't know how to play the ball was playing crookedly, allowing them to see an interesting scene.

They stared at Aldrich with a playful smile to see what he would say.

"When I went off the pitch, it was already 5-0. Why do we have contradictions? There is no contradiction. ”

"But you just said that they beat you hard, and you were not satisfied. Maybe that's true, Irving has already scored four goals, and maybe he could have scored more goals in a single game in a record. ”

"Why do you want Irving to be such a selfish player? We are a team, we are a collective, he needs to contribute to the team, not just to score goals, we need to work on the substitutes, we need to have more options, the England national team is a team of more than 20 players, you can't see that, don't ask such stupid questions! Vexatious! ”

Aldrich fired back at the reporter in a vehement, and the press officer revoked the female reporter's right to speak out.

The reporters next to them watched a good show, and they had already confirmed in their hearts that this female reporter must have just entered the industry, otherwise, she would not have asked such a self-digging question.

At the level of the national team, in today's situation, she actually speculated that Owen would have a conflict with the head coach because he wanted to score more goals?

Even if, even if Owen really has this kind of emotion, he will never express it, never, this is to cut off his future in the national team, the national team, is it a stage for one-man performance? Is it where you brush the goal alone?

Owen needs to rest, and Aldridge is not the only one who knows how much he is tired, and when analyzing Owen, the football media all know how tired he is in a season, and he has changed other coaches. What's the point?

There is nothing to discuss about Beckham, Xiaobei started in the last game, and he started today, five to egg, come down and rest, enjoy the applause of the fans, and give other teammates a chance to exercise and grow, isn't this good? Do you have to be tired and tired to fight the whole audience to make it extremely painful, is this female reporter happy?

It seems that she wants the news too much, and she is probably a little nervous, and she took it seriously when she heard Aldridge joke that the players were not satisfied.

The little farce ended, and Aldrich's joy at the big victory was also discounted.

The reporters in the audience were very happy, and unexpectedly, there was one more news material.

The press conference was back on track, and the second official question was about what happened during the game.

"In the first half, you took the initiative to go to the sidelines and call David Beckham out, were you unhappy with his performance?"

Not to mention, in a game of abuse, Aldridge frequently steals the spotlight, and it is estimated that he took the initiative to call his players out of the field to make the temporary attrition of non-combat on the field, which can also be circulated as a "good story".

Aldridge's expression became serious, and he replied in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with him personally, because he is an offensive player and the vice-captain on the field, so I need him to convey my instructions." England didn't play well for a while after the start and it looked like we had a big advantage, but in reality, that advantage was false and didn't help us create more dangerous scoring opportunities, so I needed the team to make adjustments, it had nothing to do with the individual performances, David was fine, the other players were okay, and after David got my instructions, our attack improved and we scored. ”

"After England's friendly win over Spain a few days ago, there was a lot of criticism for the England squad for abandoning their traditional wide attack, and today it was clear that England were more dangerous in the middle. Does this mean that England's traditional two-winged tactics have been abandoned by you? I do not question the correctness of this approach. Just trying to understand your point of view. ”

Aldridge shook his head and said: "If you only judge the offensive routine by scoring goals, I think it's very one-sided, and we can't communicate. If you look at the 180 minutes of two games, you should be able to see that England have not weakened their attack on the wings, Ashley Cole, David Beckham, Neville. The defensive pressure they put on the opposition on the flanks is playing a role in creating better scoring chances, and we can't just say that the wide attack is abandoned because the assist didn't come from the wing. In today's game, Beckham had a beautiful pass on the right side of the front field to assist McManaman to score, before the end, Neville's cross from the side was cleared by the opponent, and Lampard scored from a distance in front of the penalty area. I'm building a tactical system that combines the strengths of England and compensates for the weaknesses of the team. When the team's technical and tactical play matures further, I think. No one would say that England had abandoned their traditional wide attack, and it would be superficial and ignorant to conclude just because I didn't have a wing-back or winger in my starting line-up. ”

Aldridge did not dare to fly on both wings when answering this question, but attacked from the wings.

Because at present, it is indeed difficult for England to fly on both wings, unless Ashley Cole and Beckham attack at the same time, but in terms of probability, under the balance of no impact, this situation will only occur 50% of the time.

When Neville stepped forward to assist, Frank Lampard stepped forward, but Lampard was close to the middle.

It can be said that Aldridge's tactical system can derive a lot of changes in the offense, and the changes are based on the player's own characteristics.

Aldridge was dismissive of those who were nitpicky after the match against Spain, criticising England for being too conservative and abandoning their traditional attacking style of play on the wings.

There is no rule that a player who starts in the midfield will stay in the midfield area for 90 minutes, and there is no rule that there must be two symmetrical positional players on the wing, and the one-sided wing tactic that is popular in many clubs in Italy at one point can also be victorious.

England players lack creativity, Aldridge uses tactics to create creativity, Millwall's kind of attack that can both press and play dazzling and unpredictable, is the players distributed at various points, suddenly changed positions in the attack, the impact caused by the role change to tear apart the opponent's defense, and now the England national team, there is a large area and position in the front field is blank, in the process of offensive advancement, players fill in their positions by themselves, forming impact, for example, McManaman has a large range of activities, and the role of the position has been constantly changing, He can cut into the box and score, he can also play the side to respond, he does start as a midfielder, but he often attacks as a shadow striker and wing-back.

The same can be said for the rest of the players, with Frank Lampard playing as a wing-back and attacking as a midfielder, while David Beckham defends as a wing-back and attacks as a wing-back.

This is designed to hold the middle in the defense, compress the space given to the opponent in the danger zone, strengthen the connection between the defensive lines, and create confusion in the opponent's defense through the rotation of players in different positions during the attack.

Another advantage of this arrangement is that it can maintain the impact of the players.

If Beckham is always placed on the right side, he will go straight up and down, and the running distance will indeed be 10,000 meters, or even more than 10,000 2 in a game, but how many times can he sprint?

In turns, the physical energy can be reasonably distributed, whether it is rushing up or retreating deeper to defend, your speed can be more guaranteed.

Aldrich never thought of ending the tradition in England and opening up a new tradition with its own brand, the thing of founding a school was never his pursuit, 442 proved that it could not succeed, then it had to be changed, unchanged, just waiting for death, nothing more.

Finally, reporters congratulated Aldridge on his home debut and asked him about his outlook for the European qualifiers for the World Cup.

"Straight to the finals in the group stage? Of course I have faith, and I can't do a good job without confidence, this is my life credo. But the game has to be played one game at a time, we got off to a good start, and there will be a lot of tough battles waiting for us, as for the German team in the same group, I don't care, it's not a knockout round, we should focus on ourselves, play our due strength, play every game well, and when it's time to play against the German team, we will focus on the German team. ”

After the press conference, Aldridge declined the FA chairman's invitation to a cocktail party, and as he drove home, he felt that the job was not as easy as he had imagined.

The pressure has been relieved a lot for the time being, and he has completed the transition period after taking office.

It's just that in previous years, I was used to taking a break and relaxing at this time, but now I continue to work.

Tiredness can't help it, the national team game has just ended, and now, he has to focus on the Premier League again.

The London derby is about to begin, and his battle with Arsene Wenger is once again sounding. (To be continued......)
