Five hundred and fifty, unexpected damage
Lynn is not hot-headed, the game itself is not moot, the starting line-up is not important, he does not want the team to rely too much on one line-up, then the Three Lions he coached are also the same old way.
In the past, when he was at Chelsea, Lynn liked to formulate the team's corresponding tactics according to the strength of the opponent, and often Chelsea always gave the opponent the impression that he could not win, maybe the team's record was much better, but there was also a voice criticizing Lynn for tending to be conservative.
Lynn didn't want to argue, and likewise, he wasn't happy with his performance.
Tonight isn't just a shift in England's overall style.
It's a day for Lynn to change.
'Coach John has had an unattainable success at Chelsea, but what about the national team? The opponent Netherlands is strong, and England's preparation is obviously lagging behind, and the English fans have given Coach John full support and trust, the result? We'll see. β
From the position on the field, Gerrard's position is that of a midfielder, but his task is to consolidate the defense in the middle, and as for attack, he is limited to passing and inserting attacks in the middle.
Gerrard has set his sights on Sneijder on several occasions, which is his main target today.
According to Lynn, he must limit Sneijder's role as much as possible, regardless of whether the opponent wants to pass or break through with the ball, and not let his guard down and cut off the link between Sneijder and other Dutch players.
From the first minute, in less than five minutes, Lynn was relieved.
England's play-on players complied with his demands.
It even exceeded Lynn's expectations.
Even commentators, who are familiar with England's tactical style, wondered, "This is a completely different England team than we are used to"
Van Gaal never dared to underestimate Lynn, he had suffered a loss. No one has the right to underestimate Lynn's abilities.
Therefore, the momentum from England really made Van Gaal a little careless. It has long been proven that Lynn does not make mistakes.
England's performance is by no means as simple as it seems.
In order not to be shocked by England. Louis van Gaal immediately asked his team to step up their defensive focus.
It's a pity that he was fooled.
Lynn's demands on the team are very simple, and the simplicity is outrageous.
The whole team has to be thrown into a crazy rush, and the opponent is not allowed to dribble and pass the ball easily.
As for the attack, it is even simpler, all the attacking tactics are to try to hand over the football to the two wings, and the follow-up outflanking in the middle is England's attacking means.
How easy.
But it's not easy to do it well.
Lynn told the players that doing this well is enough for England to stir up trouble in world football, and don't underestimate these simple things.
"The opponent will be tortured to death."
And so it is.
After the start of the game. The fluent attack that the Netherlands have always prided themselves on was so scattered by England that it was completely unable to organize the system.
The referee became the busiest one on the field, and his whistle kept sounding.
Van Gaal's misjudgment caused the Netherlands to lose control of the field.
In order to protect his wings, the Dutchman had to strengthen his defense on the wings, which made it difficult for Robben to rush at all.
England has shown a determination that has been hard to see in the past.
Especially in terms of speed, it is very fast, even sacrificing accuracy.
However, the Dutch team did not grasp the timing in time.
While the Dutchman was still wondering what their opponents were going to do, England made a breakthrough on the wing.
The Dutch defended tightly. However, instead of tangling with the opponent head-on, the English players passed the football directly to Gerrard in the middle, and then Gerrard continued to pass diagonally!
Extremely typical of the flanks.
Walcott, from Arsenal, tore through the Dutchman's defence with his pace.
Heitinga didn't keep up with Walcott. The Dutch flanks were empty all at once.
At this time, Walcott did not pass the ball, but suddenly accelerated to change the line. Straight into the Dutch penalty area.
Oyer was forced to catch up.
As for Carol, he couldn't take care of it. The main thing is that he doesn't think Carol can do anything at all.
However, it was this rookie who was useless in the eyes of these big-name players in the Netherlands who gave the Dutch a blow to the head.
Originally, I thought that Carol was just a big man standing on the pile. didn't expect that Carroll's shooting skills at his feet were so sharp.
Walcott's pass was clever and he was halfway through Oyer's swoop before he suddenly crossed in front of goal.
Van der Sar wanted to attack, but was forced to retreat because he was too far away.
Carroll withstood Mathiessen's defence and suddenly reached out with a kick that was picked up.
To the cheers of tens of thousands of England fans, the football refracted into the net
βYesοΌ Great! β
"It looks a little rough, but I like this change!"
"There are more men in them!"
In the stands, England fans were in high spirits after the team suddenly took the lead.
England today don't have that kind of unconfident style of play.
It's violent!
Every action looks vigorous, even if the effect is not good, but it gives people a feeling of blood boiling in momentum.
It was the goal in the twenty-fifth minute of the game.
And before?
England were proactive and looked like they were attacking aggressively, but in the eyes of the fans, they could only stop their opponents with embarrassing fouls in the face of the Dutch attack.
There was a flurry of boos in the stands, although not to the extent of overwhelmingness, but the commentators all said that Lynn's debut was not a success.
Those boos also reached Lynn's ears, and he didn't care, but Lynn had to use his performance to tell the players to keep going.
So, most of the time. Lynn stood on the sidelines and stared at the game.
All disadvantages came to naught after Carroll's goal.
Football is also a sport in which results are highly valued.
In Lynn's view, any project is a hero by winning or losing. As long as you win, it is not a problem to be together.
The Netherlands could only lament their bad luck. England's attack was not very sharp, but it couldn't stand up to it.
Carelessly, England managed to score.
In a sense, Lynn was extremely risky today, but the Dutch made Lynn.
Football was still scored first by England.
England, who played with momentum, was unforgiving, and Lynn didn't care about it, and there was a goal in hand. He had a bottom in his heart, waved his big hand, and continued to attack.
The Dutch counter-attack was quickly suppressed by England's brutal and unreasonable defence, and they could only continue to retreat and withstand England's attack.
This is the Dutch players making a fool of themselves.
They think that the opponent's tactics are extremely physically draining, and they don't believe that the opponent can always maintain this high pressure, as long as England's fitness drops, the rest is the world of the Dutch team.
However, today was just a friendly match.
It's not an international A-level event yet. Just a warm-up for England before participating in World Cup qualifying.
Many of the rules of the game are agreed upon by both sides before the game.
The Dutch team must have overlooked the fact that there were no substitutions for today's game.
Lynn didn't plan to let these guys on the court play the whole game.
Physical exertion?
This was not in Lynn's mind at all.
And the brave style of the England team also won the hearts of the fans at the scene.
The fans cheered on the players.
The excited England players then played a brilliant attack before the end of the first half.
It was full-back Richards who went straight for this time, and the Dutch defensive focus has been drawn to the likes of Joe Cole.
Covered by his teammates in other positions, Richards went straight to the baseline.
It rushed up like a gust of wind.
Van Gaal did not expect England to play so resolutely on the wing. He had always suspected that Lynn was making a gesture to lure himself into being fooled, but this time the opponent's defenders had already assisted near his penalty area. No matter how stupid he is, he knows what Lynn is going to do today.
'The Netherlands were completely out of form, they were stunned by England from the first minute, it's not a comparison of the real quality of the two sides. If they want to turn the tide. Then you have to get serious. β
The commentator is still making excuses for the Dutch team, which means that the Netherlands didn't take this warm-up game seriously at all. Playing with England.
That's not what Van Gaal thinks.
He dared to come up with such a lineup for Lynn, and in England's home stadium, he had such courage to attack and defend so hard with the Netherlands.
If it weren't for Lynn, no one would dare.
Van Gaal's mind was not finished before Richards passed the ball.
Or sweep the front of the door!
What kind of rule is this?
Carroll is a big man of 1.91 meters, and England has no intention of playing high at all.
The ball was fast, and the Dutch defenders did not dare to be careless, clinging to Carroll and Gerrard, who was following up, and did not give the opponent a chance to get on the feet.
Van der Sar didn't rush to the action either, allowing the ball to slide past goal.
But what about the back door post?
"Walcot !!"
The narrator roared frantically.
There was a hole in the Dutch defence, and Walcott suddenly struck and the ball jumped straight into the net with a cushion on his foot.
"Shoot -- the ball is in! Pretty! It's beautiful! β
"It wasn't perfect, but Coach John's first appearance was a great success and we saw England have a temperament that they haven't had before! 2:0οΌ England had a very good first half. β
Van der Sar knelt on the ground, looked at the other party's celebration, and shook his head.
Today's game was not normal, England were unruly and the Netherlands didn't seem to be in the groove.
Just look at Ruud van Nistelrooy, the main center forward of the Netherlands, did not have a decent shot on goal, is this still the performance of the orange army?
Lynn, who was on the sidelines, finally showed a satisfied smile and high-fived a few bad boys around him.
At the end of the first half, England took a surprise two-goal lead, and no one thought England would do so much damage to the Netherlands at first. (To be continued......)
