Red Rebels

8oo youth storm

"Lost"

In the hotel where the England national team was staying in Kiev, the manager of the England national team excitedly rushed into the conference room on the floor and roared in a fuss.

"Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan, lost." He was obviously running over all the way, out of breath.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Yu shook his head in amusement, "Croatia lost, not Kazakhstan."

After everyone heard this, they all laughed.

Just a few minutes ago, Kazakhstan, sitting at home, defeated Croatia in an upset. Croatia, which lacked Modric, was very disorganized on the field. Kazakhstan took advantage of the opportunity to score Croatia's goal twice, and although Croatia got a goal back, But in the end, they still failed to regain the score.

This is undoubtedly great news for Beckham and the England national team.

"The situation is completely reversed now, David," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

Although Beckham has a serious face, his eyes are shining. He knows very well that Croatia's defeat will undoubtedly create an unprecedented bright situation for England. As long as it defeats Ukraine, England will be able to qualify first in the group.

This is definitely something that all England fans could not imagine before.

"Ukraine will definitely struggle in this game. They can qualify as long as they draw a tie. In addition, Shevchenko is injured. They will definitely stabilize their defense first and then plan a counterattack. Even if they don't score, they must stop it. England scored," Cassel analyzed.

Croatia currently ranks first in the group, but it only has one more point than Ukraine and one more point than England. As long as Ukraine draws with England, it can reverse Croatia, occupy the first place in the group, and directly qualify, while Croatia will have to participate in the play-offs.

England must win, only in this way can they reverse Croatia and Ukraine.

This complicated situation is indeed a headache, but it is also exciting.

From being sentenced to death when he took over, to now, more than half a year later, England has come back to life, and Beckham has won consecutive victories in his coaching career. This really makes everyone feel incredible, but Beckham knows very well that what made him achieve this result is , not just himself, but also his assistants and players, but more importantly, the Red Rebel system behind it.

From the tactical system and training system,

From the scouting system to the team doctor system, etc., England has almost completely transplanted the Red Rebels. Coupled with the presence of many Red Rebels players in the team, Beckham can easily create this victorious England team. .

But if he still wants to maintain his unbeatable victory, he has only one option: defeat Ukraine

"The current Ukrainian team is in the metabolic period and is not as strong as the Ukrainian team in Germany's World Cup qualifiers. Away o: defeated Turkey, home: o defeated Denmark, away o: defeated Greece. Ukraine at that time was more popular than it is now. Much more powerful”

At that time, Ukraine was the first European team to qualify for the World Cup qualifiers, which shocked the European football community at that time. Many people even exclaimed that the Ukrainian football storm was coming again.

“However, since Rebrov, Shevkovsky and others withdrew from the national team, Ukraine has hired many new-generation players. Although these players are young and energetic, they have no strength, competition experience, or In terms of teamwork, it is much worse than the previous Ukrainian national team."

"But even so, this Ukrainian team cannot be underestimated, especially their tenacity and pressure on the court. At the same time, their smooth passing and movement are all characteristics of the Blokhin period."

Oleg Blokhin was once the soul of the former Soviet Union. He won the UEFA Cup and the European Champions Cup. After retiring, he served as the head coach of the Ukrainian national team and built Ukraine into a fearsome dark horse team. , it was even thought that Ukraine had the hope of winning the World Cup in an upset, because they had been undefeated in the peripheral group stage, but only lost to Turkey after qualifying.

But Blokhin took the initiative to resign after the team lost the right to advance to the European Cup.

Blokhin's dismissal brought a great shock to Ukraine, followed closely by the arrival of a new coach, and then Rebrov, Sevkovsky and others announced their retirement from the national team, which welcomed Ukraine Here comes a round of metabolism.

"Ukraine's tactical style is relatively rough, and they are not very good with their feet. They are good at long passes."

This is a bit like the previous version of the England national team, which used long passes to lob, but they only passed the ball long and rarely lobbed. Their defensive counterattacks were impressive and they were a very difficult team to deal with.

"How's it going? Have you figured out how to deal with it?" Xiao Yu asked with concern.

Beckham smiled and nodded, "Of course, we are going to the game soon. What if we haven't finalized the tactics by now?"

"Well, in that case, we are waiting for your good news."

…………

…………

"Players from both sides walked out of the tunnel, and England's lineup for this game has been slightly adjusted."

"During a training session two days ago, Lampard was injured and had already left the England national team early. In this game, who will Beckham replace Lampard with? This is very exciting. Pay attention, now we can see that the 7-year-old Wilshere from the Red Rebels has appeared in the lineup."

England's lineup appeared on the live broadcast screen, still 4, but Wilshere occupied the left position for three games, Gerrard was on the right, and Michael Johnson occupied the center. This also shows that Beckham is against 4 superstition.

"England's lineup is said to be 4, but in fact it is more like a 4-tactic. Michael Johnson is often positioned further back than his two teammates. Beckham once commented that Michael Johnson is the rarest player in football today. He is the best candidate for a single defensive midfielder. He is excellent in organization, connection, and defense. He is the main core of the current England national team."

"Ukraine played a 45 tactic. They arranged three defensive midfielders on the field. This also showed that Ukraine was at home but lacked confidence. After all, England's current state is really excellent. Ever since Beckham took over , they have even maintained a complete victory in the World Cup qualifiers so far.”

After the game started, England immediately flooded into Ukraine's half.

Ever since Beckham took over the England national team, England has embarked on a path of technical refinement, reusing players from technically sophisticated teams such as the Red Rebels and Droylsden in terms of staffing. In terms of tactics, Beckham attaches great importance to the requirements for technical details and movement without the ball.

As Cassel predicted before the game, Ukraine based on defense after the opening, with 4 defenders and 5 field players all shrinking in their own half. For them, as long as a draw is guaranteed in this game, they will If they can qualify from the group, they can enter next year's World Cup in South Africa.

Teams that take the initiative often have better options

"It's a bit bad." Darren Lyons stood next to Beckham, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Too anxious," Beckham decided.

The players all know that only victory in this game can guarantee England's qualification. This is a game of either heaven or hell, with no in between, so they showed a strong desire to win from the beginning.

But just because they were too anxious to win and score goals, the players were a little impatient in mentality. This was directly reflected on the court, and England's advantage was not scored.

Seeing this scene, Beckham came to the sidelines, waved to Michael Johnson in the defensive midfielder position, "Hey, Michael" and then moved back a little.

Michael Johnson immediately understood what Beckham meant. Taking advantage of an opportunity, he retreated deeper. When he got the ball, he immediately chose to knock back and simply cooperated with Curtis and Terry behind him. The offensive situation that had been quickly pressed was immediately stabilized.

After watching Beckham on the sidelines, he couldn't help but reveal a smile of appreciation. Michael Johnson's ability to control the game, and his ability to read and understand the game have all improved with his age, as well as his ability to play the game. He has become better and better with experience, and now he can change the rhythm of the game with one move.

In the first minute, Leighton Barnes intercepted the ball on the left and handed it to Michael Johnson who retreated to receive the ball. The latter almost didn't stop the ball and handed the ball directly to Wilshere's feet.

This is the first time Wilshere has represented the England national team, and it is in such an important game. For a boy who is only 7 years old, the pressure is indeed very high, but if he can withstand this pressure, it will be a great success for him. Wilshere's future growth will have an immeasurable role.

As soon as Wilshere stopped the ball, he turned around and passed a low ball. The ball came directly to the feet of Walcott on the left, and Wilshere moved forward on his own. Walcott knocked back, and Wilshere After Scheer got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he shook off the opponent's defender and hit a powerful volley, but it missed slightly.

Although Wilshere's shot failed to result in a goal, the delicate cooperation between him and Walcott on the left was eye-catching, especially their penetrating cooperation in small gaps. To the point of dismantling the Ukrainian defense.

Sure enough, Beckham didn't hesitate at all and immediately moved the team's offensive line to the left, allowing Wilshere to actively move forward.

Minutes later, there was another continuous cooperation between Wilshere and Walcott on the left. The latter was tripped by the full-back on the edge of the penalty area, earning England a yellow card and an indirect free kick in the frontcourt.

Michael Johnson's free kick was slightly lifted by Terry, and the goal kick

After that, England once again picked up the pace while the iron was hot, pressing hard on Ukraine's right wing, which was England's left wing, causing a sudden tremor in Ukraine's defense.

Especially in the 6th minute, seeing no opportunity on the left, Walcott moved the ball to the right. Rooney took the ball and forced a breakthrough pass. Ismail turned around and hit the goal. Slightly higher.

“Ukraine is in danger” even the commentators on the scene could tell.

Beckham also seemed to be a lot more relaxed. He saw England's advantage on the field. As long as they continue to maintain this advantage, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and control the rhythm and the situation of the game under their own feet, it will only be a matter of time before they win the game. things.

"Don't be nervous, Jim, we will win sooner or later," Beckham said with a smile.

Wilshere was definitely a coup. His move was indeed too sudden. Some people said before that Beckham would use the 44 tactic to push Rooney up to play as a double forward, but no one expected that Beckham would let the 7-year-old Wilshere.

Wilshere and Lampard have different characteristics. The former has a strong sense of position and relies more on position and awareness when defending. His running ability is excellent, but the most amazing thing about him is his delicate foot skills. , as well as his overall vision and ability to read the game on the court.

A high football intelligence is what everyone who has seen Wilshere play evaluates him. This is also a major feature of the Red Rebels youth training players, so Beckham tried to train Walcott. and Wilshere, two direct descendants of the Red Rebels, were placed on the left.

In training, the two players often cooperated in a clever way, which made Beckham feel confident. He knew that the combination of Walcott and Wilshere could make a difference when encountering a team with the style of Ukraine. Unexpected power.

Now, the situation on the court really confirmed his previous guess.

However, although he controls the situation on the field, in the end, he still has to score goals.

In the 9th minute, England's offensive, which had firmly controlled the game, gradually stopped. Ukraine, which had been suppressed throughout the first half, also breathed a sigh of relief. The first half was about to end.

But at this moment, Leighton Barnes from the left suddenly moved forward and sent the ball to Walcott's feet on the left. The England winger dexterously dribbled the ball past the left wing and deflected the Ukrainian winger. After the defender, he suddenly stopped in front of the baseline, passed a defensive player again, and then hoisted the ball into the penalty area.

Ismail used his body to firmly control the penalty area, but he clearly felt that his shooting angle had been blocked, so he chose to header the ball and hit the ball near the penalty spot with his forehead.

It's Wilshere again. This young player has followed the team all the way from the field. He is not slow and he squeezes into the Ukrainian penalty area, getting ahead of everyone. He does not stop the ball and faces Ismail. The header was a direct shot.

The goalkeeper was out of reach, his attention was on Ismail, and when he reacted, he could only watch as Wilshere scored his first goal for the national team.

"It's so beautiful, this is a very beautiful goal combination"

"Wilshere, a 7-year-old boy who once won the FIFA World Youth Championship Golden Ball, is a talented player. In this crucial game, Beckham had high hopes and performed very well for England. "Open the record"

"Throughout the first half, England's left wing was the most active area. The left wing combination of Wilshere and Walcott showed everyone the hope of English football. Their excellent footwork and skillful coordination , which is even more impressive, but what’s even more commendable is that they are all young.”

"Beckham's England is not just as simple as replacing Capello and introducing the Red Rebel system. He has also stepped up efforts to introduce young players. The 0-year-old Theo Walcott, the 20-year-old Michael Johnson, the 20-year-old Micah Richards, 4-year-old Curtis Davis, 8-year-old Rodwell, 7-year-old Wilshere and others."

"Beckham's emphasis on young players has undoubtedly injected a youthful force into this England national team. It also reflects the outstanding performance of these young players, coupled with the achievements of the older generation players such as Terry and Gerrard. The strong foundation has enabled the entire England team to show strong combat effectiveness."

The moment Wilshere scored, Beckham celebrated excitedly with Darren Lyons and others. He was so excited. This was a game that related to whether England could participate in the World Cup and carried the hopes of countless England fans. , he absolutely cannot allow himself to lose this game.

Fortunately, Beckham's gamble paid off

Wilshere is definitely one of the most active players in England in this game. His insertion in the road and his cooperation with Walcott on the left are both excellent, which also allowed Beckham to see A completely new field combination.

After changing sides in the second half, Beckham still did not replace the pair of Walcott and Wilshere, and they did not let Beckham down.

In the 74th minute, after Ukraine resisted for ten minutes, England finally scored again.

It was the continuous cooperation between Walcott and Wilshere on the left. The latter got the ball at the front of the penalty area and cleverly passed the ball low to the penalty area. Ismail deliberately missed it, and Rooney, who inserted in the back row, grabbed the ball. The defensive player poked the ball into the goal before, changing the score to o:

This goal also completely decided the outcome of this game. Although Ukraine was tenacious and tragic, they had to accept the fate of being eliminated.

As if predicting Ukraine's desperate counterattack at the last moment, Beckham immediately replaced Rooney with Rodwell, who performed well. Walcott was pushed to the front line, and there was a combination of four road players on the field. Rodwell Weir dropped back to play as a defensive midfielder, showing off his excellent defensive abilities.

Although Ukraine launched a desperate counterattack, England's defense seemed to be watertight, especially the new Rodwell, who performed very well and was no worse than Wilshere.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, not only the eliminated Ukrainian players fell to their knees on the ground, but also the English players fell to the ground one by one. They had exhausted all their strength in the game. I don't have the strength to move anymore.

But that feeling of being a hero is really good

Although they are far away in Kiev, Ukraine, and although they cannot see or hear, they can imagine that England must be rejoicing at this moment, and the fans will celebrate like a festival.

They became heroes of England, legendary heroes
