The England squad announced by Aldridge for the European Cup is not much different from the squad for the 2002 World Cup. Gary Neville and Gerrard, who were missed due to injury two years ago, are expected to go with the team, and the goalkeeper position has been updated.
, should be the most unstable link in England.
England's paper strength should be stronger now than it was two years ago!
People, still those people.
But in terms of ability, experience, tacit understanding of the whole team, and the maturity of the technical and tactical system, England has made great progress in all aspects.
If England relied on utilitarianism and tactics to win the World Cup two years ago, then England now has steadily entered the ranks of the world's top teams.
Except for the goalkeeper, every player in each position has experienced hundreds of battles and has the ability to fight hard. After experiencing many tests, although Rooney may still be a little immature, Aldridge only intends to use Rooney as a surprise player.
, he has new ideas about who will appear behind Irving.
The goalkeeper position may be said to be a flaw, which is unavoidable, but in terms of defenders, Ferdinand's suspension is his own fault. If Ferdinand had not been suspended, Carragher would still have lost the selection. Because Carragher was absent due to injury in the past season.
After many games, he still has not returned to the central defender position that best reflects his abilities. It seems that he can only shine in the right position when the knowledgeable Benitez transforms Liverpool.
After the team has been together for nearly four years, England is now a top team with both reputation and strength.
However, in the qualifiers before the European Cup, they played in a mess, extremely bad.
There is no way, Aldridge needs to give the players more rest time. Other teams are warming up, while England is racing against time to recharge their batteries!
Aldridge cannot change the tradition of England. Half a century ago, there was no winter break. During the Christmas period, the whole nation had a holiday. Fans had the right to enter the stadium to watch the game as entertainment and celebration. This is a tradition, a deep-rooted tradition, and it will not be changed because of it.
If you are the coach who won the World Cup and won the World Cup, you can change it by pointing your fingers.
Aldrich did not ask for trouble, so he sacrificed his warm-up match record.
He didn't even participate in Millwall's official championship parade celebration and went straight to the national team.
As the European Cup approaches, Aldridge and Millwall are caught in the whirlpool of public opinion.
Chelsea's "purchase" campaign is still in progress. At the beginning of June, Madman came to London to take office. Chelsea seemed to be welcoming Mourinho and kept asking for prices in the transfer market. Rumors were spread like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Especially for Millwall, except for veterans over 32 years old, almost every player is on Chelsea's acquisition list.
At the same time, Dutch coach Advocaat criticized Aldridge, believing that Aldridge did not trust Robben enough last season. Robben spent two disappointing seasons at the Lion King Stadium and wasted his time!
At the same time, Robben's father was privately and solemnly received by Chelsea official representatives.
It is difficult to say that Chelsea is seducing Robben. There is a higher probability that Robben's father will recommend himself, because Chelsea directly revealed the weekly salary they will offer Robben through the outside world during the purchase.
£50,000!
This is still a preliminary quotation. If we talk about it, it is definitely possible to increase it.
How big a deal does Chelsea have?
Duff can get 70,000 pounds. After the season, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Abramovich extended Terry's contract and his salary skyrocketed to 100,000 pounds!
Everyone knows that Terry is the banner figure at Stamford Bridge. At least, when Chelsea was building an international team, only Terry was a player produced by the Blues youth training system. His blood, in everyone's eyes, should be a blue blood.
Colorful.
However, few people know that Terry is actually a die-hard Manchester United fan!
When he went to watch a game at Old Trafford when he was a child, sitting in front of Terry was Beckham and Neville in their youth.
Therefore, Chelsea gave Terry a salary increase and renewed his contract just after renewing his contract for one season last summer. On the one hand, it was to lock in Terry's future, and on the other hand, it was also to allow the club's locker room to smoothly transition to the turmoil caused by the coaching change.
Kaká returned to Brazil, and representatives from Chelsea also traveled to South America to meet with Kaká’s father in private.
Cristiano Ronaldo went to report for the national team, and Chelsea representatives naturally went to Portugal on the pretext of inspecting the players participating in the European Cup.
...
Aldridge is busy with official duties, and the European Cup is about to start. He cannot be distracted by other things. Adam is responsible for the club's contract renewal. He will only go back to review the results when the European Cup is over.
Not paying attention to the news in the transfer market, Aldrich did not discover that Chelsea had another unusual sign in the transfer market. If he had paid attention and thought about it, he would have discovered the key.
The top 16 participating teams of the European Cup have gathered in Portugal.
When the Three Lions arrived in Lisbon, Portugal, there were tens of thousands of England fans who had arrived early to wait.
The sun was blazing, and the scantily clad female England fans used their graceful breasts as capital to cheer, making England's arrival even more eye-catching.
When walking out of the airport, representatives of the Three Lions in suits and ties followed Aldridge and the coaching staff. Aldridge was expressionless and looked a little cold.
The schedule of the European Cup is shorter than that of the World Cup, but it is likely that the time to return home will be faster!
For Aldridge, England today will be more difficult than two years ago, even though England is stronger than two years ago!
But the World Cup champion is the target of public criticism and the favorite to win the championship. England's skills and tactics are analyzed, studied, and the probability of targeted restrictions is greatly increased. They cannot wait for their opponents to make moves like they did two years ago, and then sit back and relax.
When it comes to counterattacks, even though the team has worked together to a certain extent, because the opponents in the qualifiers are generally weak and lack gold content, Aldrich is not sure how he will perform when he encounters stronger opponents in the European Cup.
No bottom, no bottom.
The posture shown to the outside world must be tough, so Aldrich appeared extremely cold, as if he had the aura of a champion.
Media from all over the world gathered in Portugal to follow and report on the progress of the European Cup.
England's arrival in Lisbon was the most spectacular, not only with the number of fans picking up the plane, but also with the media present.
