-- This job is not a hot potato

"It's not tricky for me, I can take it all and I'm willing to take on challenges. Either don't do it, or do it well. I'm here because I want to take on the challenge and I think I have what it takes to make this team better and take on all of that. ”

-- Coaching style

"It's important to find your own style, there's no doubt about that. But now the situation in England is different. We are now going to succeed in the tournament. The players who come into the national team have different styles of play and I want them to keep their characteristics. These high-level players should be able to adapt to a lot of systems and they are more capable of it. ”

"A lot of people have labelled my coaching style and I can't seem to shake their minds. But my usual style doesn't mean I'll always be that way. It is important to strengthen the individual abilities of the players. Jermaine (Jermaine Defoe) has always said that he needs to cooperate up front. So I played him as a striker for a season and he ended up scoring 15 Premier League goals. I'm not limited by what others say. ”

- I was good enough to coach England 10 years ago

'I don't know why I didn't become England manager 10 years ago. There was a big gap between then and now, and the FA has improved a lot. ”

-- He did not express his desire to win the championship

"It's too early to say that. I've only started my official work today. As the work unfolds, time will tell what the team will achieve in the future. ”

"Smack", turn off the TV, Alan Shearer looked at Martin Taylor helplessly, looking at Allardyce's high-spirited appearance, Shearer was very unwilling.

"Alain, don't be upset, with the lack of experience in international competitions, Sam won't stay long."

"But, Martin, after the European Championship, fans all over the world, as long as they are not blind, know how to use this super goalscorer."

Taylor frowned, yes, the European Cup, the show, on the platform of this international competition, fans around the world began to know and understand the world's youngest and underage European Cup Golden Boot.

England lost again, and the biggest sinner, of course, was Roy Hodgson, the former Three Lions boss who was dubbed the five deadly sins by the media.

Hodgson's five deadly sins are:

1. Unclear thinking and chaotic tactics

From the beginning of the selection of players for the European Championships, Hodgson seemed to waver, sometimes making his own decisions, and then listening to the media. Failing to bring the main defender of the Premier League championship team to drink water brother made Hodgson even more suspicious of his life scolded by public opinion. During the European Cup final, I didn't know what tactics to use, even if the new tactics built around him after Qiansheng was selected, he was sprayed with blood by the media: You let a Premier League golden boot play in the midfield, what kind of grass are you putting in your head?

2. Rotate the double-edged sword and hurt yourself

Antonio Conte's Italy side were fitted by a rotation that gave them a beating over defending champions Spain. However, England's rotation has not paid off, with six changes from the final round of the group stage not allowing the Three Lions to gain momentum at both ends of the pitch. The difference in the team's offensive efficiency is impressive.

3. Changing formations and playing tricks is beyond measure

England's players have a long history of rigidity, and they tossed the team enough because of a diamond-shaped midfielder. Hodgson didn't learn his lesson, or rather thought too highly of his players, with the exception of Qiansheng. The 4-4-2 formation in the qualifying round was abandoned in the finals and the team played 4-3-3. However, from the actual combat point of view, Qiansheng retreated to the midfield, and the formation became 4-4-2 again, what kind of trouble is this? Maybe he thought about it from the characteristics of the players, but from the point of view of the effect, it proved to be a complete failure. It was unclear at the moment he left England's best starting 11.

4. Nepotism is wrong for Tottenham Hotspur

Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Deli Alli, Harry Kane and Eric Deere ...... nearly half of England's starting line-up. Some reporters said that watching the Italian team sometimes feels like a club team, and it is clear that Hodgson also wants the team to play a "team" effect. It's a pity that England is not a Tottenham team, and these Tottenham players have played hard, but they can't play the characteristics they had at club. Kane, in particular, was given set-pieces at this European Championship as a big joke.

5. Hodgson himself was the biggest mistake

From the very beginning of his tenure, everyone has a deep enough understanding of Hodgson's temperament, which was the case when he was in charge of Liverpool. FA President Greg Dick once said: If England reaches the semi-finals, then there is still room for Hodgson's contract renewal to be discussed. The problem is that Hodgson's incompetence has a long history. Playing beautifully? Joke! Died a tragic death? No way! So everything was predestined, Taylor, Shearer, and especially Gary Lineker, were not optimistic about Hodgson, especially the latter, and they scoffed at it. This is also the scene when the team was out of the round of 8, Hodgson immediately took out his resignation to announce the world.

"Scotland, Lithuania, Malta, Slovakia, Slovenia, it's just two or three teams." Taylor flipped through the papers in his hand, England's opponent in the group stage of the World Preliminary Championship decided that as long as Allardyce did not die, the Three Lions would go directly to Russia as the group leader, and there was no pressure at all.

However, international competitions have always been interspersed in the league, and the form and injuries of players will determine the fighting power of the national team.

The Netherlands is the best example, in the last European Championship qualifiers, the unanimously favored orange team did not even score the play-offs, and the Czech Republic, which was old and starless, and Iceland, which had been studying with the prince in the qualifiers, actually appeared directly. The powerful Star and Moon Army Turkey can only qualify for the European Championship in France through the play-offs.

If England thought they could easily take the top spot, the Netherlands might not be far off.

You must know that neighboring Scotland knows the boss of the British Isles very well, Slovakia competed in the group stage of the European Championship not long ago, and the strength is not bad, while Slovenia, although not famous, but seeing so many dark horses in the European Cup, it is not impossible for the Three Lions to be careless and overturn the ship in the gutter for a while.

Patting Shearer on the shoulder, Taylor smiled: "Don't worry, Wales, Iceland, and Northern Ireland can all reach the finals, which shows that you can't look at the weak teams of the past with old eyes." If Sam ignores his opponents in this group stage, your chance will come. Anyway, if something goes wrong, he'll come forward and recommend you, Alain. (To be continued.) )
