Chapter 50: See the effect!

Hodgson's first game in charge of the "Three Lions" ended in a draw, but the English media still gave high praise, especially Hodgson's bold use of "Shaq" with good results, which further increased Hodgson's popularity.

And Hodgson, who tasted the sweetness, also worked hard to push the team's midfield in the direction he envisioned, Wang Tiezhu's excellent defensive ability can completely liberate Gerrard, and at the same time he has a good long-range shooting ability, although the passing and skills are much worse, but he is not surrounded by Lampard, Gerrard and other fierce generals to help, Hodgson's next job is how to make "Shaq" play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses better.

In the next two days, the training of the England team was mainly based on the tactical drills of the midfield, Wang Tiezhu also received special treatment, he was put forward one request after another by Hodgson, and then practiced with Lampard, Gerrard and others, the direction of the ball after his interception, the coverage of the run, etc.

Hodgson's biased behavior still made the midfield stars of the England team a little unhappy, but Ashley Young, Lennon, Cleverley and others did not show any of them.

After all, Hodgson's tactical arrangement has been supported by the "double Germany", and for a long time, Frank Lampard and Gerrard will crash when they coexist, and the adjustment of three managers such as Eriksen, McClaren, and Capello has not been resolved, but this situation does not seem to have happened in the last game between England and the Netherlands, and both of them have shown a situation like a fish in water on the field, but this is enough for Frank Lampard and Gerrard to support Hodgson's tactical reform. Even the rising boy with Wang Tiezhu has become a key figure, and Jonny Hausen, Wang Tiezhu's teammate in Leeds United, was also included in the starting lineup again by Hodgson, who made this kid and Wang Tiezhu cooperate tacitly when they were in the "Young Guards"!

Fortunately, Wang Tiezhu's physical fitness is also top-notch, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task under Hodgson's many requirements, even if he practiced like this for two days, Wang Tiezhu felt a little unbearable, at this time...... The world overlord Spain team is here!

Since the 2008 Spanish team won the European Cup with a small one-goal victory over the German team, they have become synonymous with victory and championship in the past four years, and Spanish football based on Barcelona tiki-taka football has become a problem in world football.

For this match against the world champion, Hodgson also racked his brains to make tactical adjustments to his team, and he clearly put forward his tactical requirements in the pre-match tactical meeting.

"We're going to make some changes to the formation for this game, Darren is going to be up front, Wayne is going to be on your right and behind you, and the left side is going to be up to Jonny, but ...... Jonny, you kid can give me a clear head this time, you can still pass people on the field, but you can only pass one person, you have to pass the ball, you must not try to pass the second person, remember? ”

"Ugh! Boss, I remember! ”

Jonny Hausen's face was blushing, he himself had watched the last game against the Netherlands, he was really a little hot at that time, many good times for passing the ball were missed, this game was already overjoyed to be able to continue to enter the starting line-up, and he himself felt that this had something to do with Wang Tiezhu.

Twenty-eight-year-old Darren Bent is a black striker, famous for the Ipswich Town team, although the goal rate is not very high, but he is a very well-rounded striker, excellent physical fitness allows him to be a center forward, and his speed and foot skills and breakthrough ability also allow him to play as a winger, and even the past consciousness he said can also allow him to play a dozen shadow strikers, in general, he is a striker who is not good at everything, compared with Walcott, the "little tiger" with a distinctive technical style, It was because he was well-rounded enough that he won the opportunity to play the starting line.

Turning his head, Hodgson said solemnly: "Shaq, Frank, Steven, the three of you will be the key to whether we can win this game, I ask the three of you to focus on intercepting the opponent's pass first, how powerful the Spaniard's pass is, I think you are also very clear, only by cutting off their pass, we have a chance to win, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Wang Tiezhu, Lampard, and Gerrard nodded in unison, Wang Tiezhu and Lampard's work has not changed much, only Gerrard is going to re-devote himself to defense this time, but after seeing Hodgson arrange Rooney to move to the right side of the frontcourt, he has already realized that he must be limited by the offensive aspect, otherwise it would be a bit of a waste to let him move to the right side in terms of Rooney's ability, but Gerrard is also an old player with a strong sense of the overall situation, His rich experience made him understand that Hodgson's arrangement was for the overall situation of the team and not for him personally, so "Baozi", who has always been known for his loyalty and strictness, will not have an opinion at all.

After arranging these, Hodgson put forward new requirements for his team's back line: "The Spanish forwards are all short, flexible, fast and skilled players except for Torres, so you don't rush easily when defending them, you must take a zone defense to block the opponent's attack, and pay more attention to intercepting their passing routes, defending the Spaniard's attack is not the task of any one player, we have to fight as a whole!" Got it? ”

"Understood!"

The defenders led by Terry shouted in unison, and every English player present also showed a firm expression, they finally felt the difference between Hodgson's coaching style and Capello this time, "Iron Marshal" Capello always likes to explain everything clearly when arranging his team's defense, but how can the roughness of the English players play the "chain defense" fine?

Now when Hodgson arranges his team's defense, he just says his own ideas, and the rest is all left to the players to play freely, one is cumbersome, the other is simple, the two are relatively opposite styles, but whose tactical arrangement is better, but it can only be left to the court to verify.

After arranging the tactics, Hodgson asked the players to do some simple activities, and in addition to the necessary rest before the big game, it was also necessary to keep the athletes' bodies in a relatively tense state.

At 19:45 p.m., Wembley Stadium officially began to play the big game between England and Spain, and the players of both teams lined up to sing the national anthem.

"Three days ago we drew 1-1 with the Netherlands on this pitch, but we could clearly feel that we had some reservations in that game, but today we will play against world champions Spain, so I believe it will be the best opportunity to test the quality of our team."

'Hodgson's line-up for this game was not much different from the previous one, with Darren Bent replacing Theo Walcott and Wayne Rooney up front, and Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Zach and Jonny Hausen in midfield! I don't really understand Hodgson's set-up, as we all saw in the last game, Zach is indeed a fierce midfielder known as 'Shaq', the 18-year-old has made a huge contribution in both defence and attack, and his presence has also solved the conflict between the overlapping roles between Gerrard and Frank Lampard, and it is not surprising that he was in the starting line-up again in this game. However, Jonny Hausen's reappearance was a bit of a surprise, his performance in the last game was a bit too frizzy, and the young man still needs to hone a little more to do it! ”

When the commentators of one TV station after another were criticizing Jonny Hausen, Wang Tiezhu was smiling evilly and told his good brother: "Jonny, the Spaniards' defensive ability is not very good, so in today's game, you can pass one of them first as long as you get the ball, and then figure out how to pass the ball, and the offensive ability of Cole behind you is also very strong, you have to pay more attention to cooperate with him." ”

"Well...... En'...... Shaq, you have to play well yourself! Mine is a problem, I'll solve it myself, don't let me affect your state. ”

"Hehe, don't worry!"

Wang Tiezhu smiled and patted Jonny Hausen on the shoulder, he added the 2 points of teammates to Jonny Hausen's explosiveness today, which also made Jonny Hausen, who originally had 16 points of explosive power, become a crazy person with an explosive power of 18, Wang Tiezhu felt that Jonny Hausen would be more ferocious as if he had taken a stimulant.

Of course, all this is just Wang Tiezhu's prediction, and I don't know what the effect will be, but according to his own experience, the bonus of 1 skill point will not make people feel obvious, but if it is a 2-point bonus, it will definitely make people feel as if they have taken a stimulant when used in the physical aspect, and if it is used in technology, it will make the accuracy of passing or dribbling ability stronger by one point, and there will be a very significant improvement.

After the two national anthems were played, the Spanish team, led by captain Casillas, came over and shook hands with the England players one by one.

Compared with the unfamiliar faces of the England team such as Wang Tiezhu, Jonny Hausen, Phil Jones, Darren Bent, etc., Bosque on the Spanish team is all old faces, but due to Torres, Ramos and others are injured and some fine-tuning, Villa, Pedro, Iniesta, Xavi, Alonso, Pique, Busquets, Puyol and others are all on the field, obviously Bosque is also going to test the combat effectiveness of his team through this game.

[I read the book review area, and some book friends reacted to update more, in fact, what the fat man wants to say is, this speed is not slow, the 8th pit has only been 20 days now, and the number of words has reached more than 17w, with an average of more than 7500 per day, and the update speed of this book is limited, the fat man can only guarantee that he will give everyone a satisfactory speed after it is put on the shelves! So...... Let's give some recommendation votes! Thank you! 】
