Big hot wanton? Ugly 1 to 0! Nanmen Sao operates Cain into a broken kite

Tactics are invisible, the process is ugly, the result is boring, and it is enough to rely on the stars to solve problems!

Yes, I mean England!

After the 1 - 0 defeat to England, Stojkovic may have bruised his thigh—— Had England played like this, the first half would have been less conservative.

In fact, the Qatar World Cup failed to lead the team to break through the group. Stojkovic was very dissatisfied with this result. From the end of the 2022 World Cup to the start of this European Cup, Stojkovic repeatedly stressed that the European Cup would be his proof when contacting his Chinese friends.

In Gelsenkirchen, Stowe wanted to score against the strong English team; Stowe, who always emphasizes offensive football, is still "counseling" in front of the English attack line, In fact, Serbia did not play the 3421/3412 they were used to in the first half, but a standard 541. Vladimir is equivalent to a right forward/right winger, and they want to defend.

Only the team led by Stowe has never been good at defense, and Serbia also has this feature. As soon as Costic lost his mind, Saka went to the bottom; Although his cross passed through the broken line and overtook Kane, it also overtook the tall central defender of Serbia. Berlingham grabbed Zivkovic and directly hit the ball into the goal.

However, just as the whole world thought that it might become a massacre, the South Gate began to work out the mystery. In the face of Serbia, where the whole central axis is basically more than 1.85 meters, the position attack of the England team starts and crosses crazily, and the result is naturally predictable.

And Nanmen also obviously wanted to test the playing method against Serbia, which was not strong enough. In the first half, he tried to control the ball with Berlingham as the absolute core, and Arnold and Frieden playing around.

But is the effect good? In fact, it's not good! Bellingham was really happy in the first half, but Bellingham, Arnold, and Forten were all in the middle, and Kane could not catch them back. He was caught in a fight with the Serbian central defender alone. He touched the ball twice in the whole first half, which was no different from the football supervisor on the court. He had little contact with several midfielders behind him. The performance of Arnold, who was expected by South Gate, was even more disastrous. The most threatening attack of Serbia in the first half came from Arnold being cut off after playing with fire in the back court.

In the first half, the effect of ball control was poor, and Kane was "out of touch", which was obviously not what South Gate wanted to see. In the second half, he directly changed to defensive counterattack. This led to the 73 opening ball control rate in the first half. By the end of the game, it was close to 55 opening. The idea of Nanmen is obviously to lure the enemy in and make full use of the huge space left behind the three tall central defenders to fight back after the opponent's formation is pressed up.

Kane's frequent back-to-back in the second half, according to the idea of South Gate, is obviously also to use Kane's ability to contain and instigate attacks to pull out the defenders of the other side, and create space for Saca and Bellingham in the back row to counter attack.

But Serbia is also very clear about Kane's answer? The big deal was a direct foul, and England was resolutely denied the opportunity to counter attack, which led to Kane being isolated in the first half and often violated in the second half, and he still could not play substantive cooperation with his teammates. However, after the change of playing style, whether it was Saka or Bellingham, the ball power of the England team in the second half was significantly reduced, and the threat also declined significantly.

When the South Gate drill relieved Serbia of the threat from the back, Stowe began to attack the attacking players on the front court, He aimed at the right rib of England, the area Arnold should have covered but did not.

In Mladovich's bottom pass, although Mitrovic did not touch the ball, he fell down after contacting with Tripier, which was also a shocking moment for England.

While the offensive in the second half improved, Tadic and Jovic came on the court. When Stowe continued to increase his weight at the offensive end, it was not too late for South Gate to make adjustments. Arnold, who had limited sense of presence at the defensive end, was replaced by Gallagher, who was good at fighting, and finally blocked the gap in the right rib.

Stojkovic also played the last card in the 73rd minute, and the second talent of South Gate came late. Bowen's breakthrough and cross made Kane's header dragged by the goalkeeper and hit the crossbar, This is also the only chance that Kane got.

In the final stage, after the fully retreating England intended to block Serbia's cross route and blocked the rib space, Serbia had to start outside the restricted area. But apart from Vladimir Vlahovic's shot, Serbia's multi foot shot did not directly test Pikeford, and the 1-0 score was also kept to the end.

When Southgate chose to take the initiative to recover in the second half, it may have shown that 1-0 is a satisfactory result for him. Just such a 1-0 match may not be enough to test England's ability to fight. After all, Serbia's offensive methods and routines are too rough; It doesn't mean England can defend against France, Germany, Portugal and Spain.

Of course, after this game, it's time to delete some options from Sosgetian's notebook.

When the midfield ball power of the England team is not enough now, there is no need to let Arnold, who also needs the ball power and is likely to become a hidden danger on the defensive side, play in the back.

How can a team that wants to win the European Cup let players like Arnold play in the back?
