Chapter 145: Explaining England
Qiao Wanxian's "five-five" remarks immediately caused controversy among countless England fans in front of the TV, what happened to this Qiao cannon, and he was so angry that he would destroy his prestige?
England and Northern Ireland are both members of the British Empire, but what is the relationship...... Although not as incompatible as England and Scotland, it is not harmonious.
In recent years, Northern Ireland has been trying to have a team to enter the English league, but has been flatly rejected by the English official and the FA, but Wales, which is close to England, has Cardiff City, Swansea, Wrexham and other teams and the Premier League giants.
Wales and England are friends, Northern Ireland...... Just look at the same hatred among the fans at Old Trafford.
Qiao Wanxian naturally understood the customs and culture of the United Kingdom, and under the nervous gaze of McKelling, he said unhurriedly: "This is five or five...... Not alarmist. The English players are super capable, which is an advantage, but it's a pity...... Ay! ”
Qiao Wan sighed heavily.
The commentator Mai Kaisling asked strangely: "Mr. Wan Xian, please speak clearly!" ”
"We've got the starting line-ups for both sides, so there is no need to introduce the England line-up, and Erikson's line-up has long been seen through. Speaking of Northern Ireland's starting 11, goalkeeper Taylor, right-back Baird, left-back Murdok, double central defenders Capaldi and Aaron Hughes, double midfielders Gillespie and Damien Johansen, left and right sides of Elliott and Doherty, forward 10 Wheatley, single arrow Harry, this is a 4-2-3-1 formation pioneered by me and a huge success! ”
Qiao Wanxian said unashamedly.
McKesling's eyes were full of stars, and he said cautiously: "Mr. Wan Xian, as we all know, your Chelsea ...... Didn't you stick to the 4-1-4-1 double forward attack? He muttered to himself, 4-2-3-1 is not Benitez's Liverpool?
"4-1-4-1 is true, but don't forget, Chelsea's style of play is not a constant layer, and many times Lampard will form a two-back combination with Claude Makelele, which is a 4-2-3-1 formation. Last season, Jose Mourinho led Porto to a 4-3-3 formation, and this season I have introduced two more powerful tactical systems, 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-4-1, beating Manchester United, Arsenal and other strong teams. These two seasons have proven that the traditional 4-4-2 has been obsolete by the times, such as the 4 strikers in the 60s and the free agents at the back in the 80s. ”
The role of the commentator is to explain football clearly to the audience, but Qiao Wanxian's words are even confused by Mai Kaisling, let alone the audience in front of the TV.
But people are like this, the more you don't understand, the more unfathomable the other party is, and you will be impressed by Qiao Wan's idle and profound football knowledge unconsciously.
After all, McKelling is a well-known commentator on BBC TV, and has partnered with many football celebrities, thinking left and right, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Mr. Wan Xian, I understand!" What you mean is that Northern Ireland manager Alexis Sanchez has learned your advanced tactics, while Eriksson is still playing with the same old-fashioned 4-4-2. England have a lot of players, but they don't have the same tactical set-up as Northern Ireland, so that's why you're talking about five or five? ”
Qiao Wanxian's eyes showed a hint of appreciation: "That's right. ”
A look of praise, McKaysling was happy or something, this is the top head coach in England, no, Shijie! He's complimenting me......
McKays was diligent, but in an instant, a little doubt appeared in his heart, that Lauren Sanchez was just an unknown coach, and Eriksson was a famous coach who had proven in Sweden, Italy, Portugal and other countries! Could it be that Alexis Sanchez will be able to defeat the mighty England by stealing your tactics?
In this game, a draw is an upset!
After 15 minutes, the game officially began.
England wear the traditional white and black jersey, while Northern Ireland also wears the signature green jersey and white shorts.
The national team has far less training time than the club, and the team's run-in and tactical adaptability are far less than the club's, so watching the national team's games is far less passionate and beautiful than the club games, and even the simplest one-two will attract full applause, which is simply unimaginable at Stamford Bridge.
However, the national team's game is mixed with everyone's sense of national mission, which adds a touch of strange passion, which can be heard from McKaysling's commentary, which is full of passion.
Although Qiao Wanxian held England's household registration book, he had no feelings for the country of England, and the two sides played scattered on the field, and he was a little interested in it.
He recalled watching the Chinese team's game shirtless in the Workers' Stadium in his previous life, and the scene was ...... It can be described as ugly, but the passion and blood, the howling and shouting of the die-hard fans around you will give people a kind of energy like a huge wave rolling.
It's sad to lose, and I'll watch it when I have a game!
Recalling the scene of watching Chinese football in his previous life, and then looking at the English fans shouting frantically in the Old Trafford stadium at this time, Qiao Wanxian understood. No matter what country, what kind of cultural background, the sense of honor of the country is the commonality.
"If the official-based Football Association is disbanded, I really want to bring the championship to Chinese fans."
Qiao Wanxian sighed, in his previous life, he was a Chinese fan, and he really understood that respectable and admirable crowd. Failures again and again, absurd appointments one after another, football scandals one after another, keep blaspheming Chinese football!
But!
They are still chasing Chinese football frantically, swaying their youth and old tears......
Love and hate.
"Mr. Wan Xian, the two wing-backs on the other side are extremely fast and are a sharp weapon for counter-attacking, how do you think the England team should guard against this?"
After the game began, the stadium was extremely noisy, and McKelling almost shouted, pulling Qiao Wan's idle thoughts back.
"Prevention?"
Qiao Wan pouted and said softly: "That's right, Doherty on the right and Elliott on the left are indeed extremely fast, threatening the England back line like two sharp knives. However, the left flank of Ashley Cole and Joe Cole should not be a problem, and the two are young and strong and will not suffer in terms of speed. But Gary Neville and David Beckham on the right flank......"
"Oh?" McKesling was stunned, "This is the golden right side of Manchester United's Triple Crown in 99!" ”
Qiao Wan shook his head and said: "It's different, 99 Neville is 25 years old, and now, he is in his 30s." ”
McCaysling nodded as if he didn't understand: "Well, Mr. Wan Xian is really as wise as a torch, and he said the mystery in one sentence, Neville's speed really can't keep up, and he has been plagued by injuries this season, and his appearances at Manchester United have plummeted." It seems that at this point, Sanchez will make a big fuss......"
Suddenly, McKelling shouted, "Oh, look at the ball! Gillespie hits a long ball behind Neville and Elliott is accelerating! Neville can't keep up...... Fortunately, Rio Ferdinand stepped in in to break the ball off the touchline. He wiped a cold sweat and asked in shock: "Mr. Wan Xian, if it were you on the sidelines, how would you deal with it?" ”
Qiao Wanxian replied without hesitation: "Replace Glenn Johnson!" ”
"Johnson?" McKesling was stunned for a moment, picked up England's 23-man squad and looked it up by himself, and hesitated: "Are you talking about the young player from Chelsea?" But...... He wasn't selected for the current national team. ”
The corners of Qiao Wanxian's mouth curled, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "This is Eriksson's second big weakness after his rigid tactics, he doesn't know anyone!" Johnson has outstanding ability, has good ability at both offensive and defensive ends, and with him, he can ensure that England's right side is worry-free for 10 years! I have long said that English football can only succeed by the English, he is a Swede, he does not understand English football culture, let alone English players! ”
McKaysling swallowed and hesitated for a moment. He already knew that Qiao Wanxian had repeatedly bombarded Eriksson, but this was a commentary, so you wouldn't have worded it? Suddenly, a bold idea came to him, which made him break out in a cold sweat, this Joe cannon, isn't he going to use this opportunity to explain to bombard Eriksson?
Sure enough, Qiao Wanxian's next words confirmed his conjecture.
"The only bright spot for England in the first 10 minutes was two breakthroughs on the side of Joe Cole that he exploited his individual ability. Eriksson's tactical conservatism is disgusting! Northern Ireland has Harry alone in front, but he has to maintain a four-man defense situation all the time, which is simply a waste of resources! ”
"The England team looks scattered, there is no tactics to speak of, I don't know if Eriksson watched too much rugby before the game, football needs to pass and cooperate! You don't have the level to be perfect, at least you have to be dominant on the ball, right? I really don't know what Eriksson laid out before the game......"
'Wayne Rooney played as a left winger in the Chelsea squad and it was ridiculous that Eriksson was so delusional that he could be a centre-forward in the box. He's the kind of player who needs to get the ball, so what effect does it make if you throw him into the box like that? Joe Cole is a right winger, and Eriksson has him playing left midfield, which is a ridiculous tactical setup. ”
……
For five or six minutes in a row, McKaysling couldn't insert a word, and Qiao Wanxian seemed to memorize the draft before the game, and said all kinds of demeaning and sarcastic words in one breath.
"Mr. Wan Xian, the game has only started for more than ten minutes, maybe the players are still adapting, right? The game is still long, so let's take a look. Looking for an opportunity, McKasling quickly interjected with a smile.
Qiao Wanxian took a sip of water, nodded and said, "That's right, the game is still long, I'll analyze it slowly for the audience and friends." ”
"Ahem......"
McKaysling almost broke his breath and analyzed it slowly? Dare you just belittle Eriksson with that tirade, or is it just the beginning?
Suddenly, he shuddered, and felt that it didn't seem to be the right choice for the TV station to invite Qiao Wanxian to be a guest commentator.
