June 11, 2012
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/englandvfrance.jpg
The starting line-ups
A match with little invention, played at a very slow pace.
Laurent Blanc chose his expected side in a 4-3-3, with Florent Malouda shuttling forward from the midfield.
Roy Hodgson’s side contained one surprise name – Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who started on the left. James Milner started on the other flank, and Danny Welbeck got the nod over Andy Carroll upfront.
As expected, France dominated possession (65%) and had 21 shots compared to England’s 5, but many were from long-range, as Blanc’s side struggled to create clear-cut chances.
Formation battle
This was a fairly simple battle. England had two banks of four, with Ashley Young and Welbeck paired upfront – a mobile, energetic duo that looked to work the channels with support from the two wide players. Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker sat much deeper.
Blanc asked Alou Diarra to stick tightly to Ashley Young when Young came deep, and play deep in front of Young when he moved forward to partner Welbeck. Yohan Cabaye was higher up near Gerrard, and Malouda tried to drift past Parker into space. But there was little space for France, as England packed their own half with eight very narrow players. The space was generally in the wide zones, and although Mathieu Debuchy and Patrice Evra got forward well, they rarely caused significant danger. Playing the ball out wide tended to result in lots of corners, which England sometimes defended nervously.
France attacks
France’s front four (ie including Malouda) were very fluid. While Ribery generally stayed on the left, Samir Nasri had license to wander infield and play where he wanted (which opened up space for Debuchy). It was Nasri who was the game’s key player – he played more passes than anyone else, also played the most in the final third, and created eight chances – the second-most in the tournament so far, after Wesley Sneijder.

Nasri was the only man using space intelligently, moving into a zone between the lines where England didn’t know how to deal with him: whether to bring a defender out from the back, drop the midfield deeper, or ask Ashley Cole to track him inside. That confusion resulted in his large influence on the game in general, while his goal came when England’s two central midfielders both moved too deep – Nasri got space on the edge of the box and fired in, equalising Joleon Lescott’s earlier header.
Aside from Nasri’s movement, England coped well with France’s attacks. Blanc’s side were patient on the ball and didn’t over-commit players into the final third. Cabaye, for example, only seemed to become an attacking force in the final quarter of the game, and the full-backs tried to make sudden powerful runs rather than permanently placing themselves high up, which would risk counter-attacks at transitions.
England attacks
England’s game was about soaking up pressure, then breaking quickly – they’d done this well in the two pre-tournament friendlies, but today they were much less fluent in their attacking play. The main reason was Young’s lack of influence upon the game – he completed only twelve passes, the fewest of the 20 outfield players that started the match.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08qZP.png
A lot of credit should go to Diarra, who was extremely clever with his positioning and simply prevented Young from being an option when England got the ball. Statistically, Diarra was immense – 100% pass completion rate, and all five of his tackles were successful.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08zDT.png
The only clear-cut chance England created in open play (when James Milner missed after rounding Hugo Lloris) came from a rare occasion when England overloaded Diarra. Oxlade-Chamberlain had moved into a central position, Diarra got drawn to him, which then left Young free for the first time – he slipped the ball through the defence for Milner coming off the other flank. England probably didn’t do this often enough – although, of course, they had to get the ball first. Welbeck ran the channels well, and would have been a greater goal threat if Young had seen more of the ball.
Young and Welbeck played very intelligently without the ball. They didn’t chase and press the French centre-backs – instead, they stood off and prevented passes being played forward into the midfield. Philippe Mexes and, in particular, Adil Rami’s passes were extremely horizontal, and France found it difficult to get the ball forward. As a result, the game was played at a very slow pace – which probably suited England.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08KSM.png
Second half
There was absolutely no progression in this game. England continued to sit very deep, while France didn’t significantly increase the number of players they attacked with. The tempo of the passing was still slow, and both sides seemed to tire quickly and recognise that a draw was a decent result.
Perhaps the only significant development was Karim Benzema’s movement, as he became frustrated with the lack of service – he only received the ball in the penalty area once . Instead, he dropped into deeper zones, the type of positions Nasri was playing in, and had a couple of long-range attempts saved by Joe Hart.
It was highly surprisingly, especially considering the heat, that neither coach made a substitution until the 77th minute. England brought on Jermain Defoe for Oxlade-Chamberlain, with Young going left, while Jordan Henderson replaced the exhausted Parker. This was broadly attack-minded, but really just about fresh legs.
Blanc brought on Hatem Ben Arfa and Marvin Martin for Cabaye and Malouda, but on 85 minutes it was too late to have a significant impact on the game.
Conclusion
On the whole, the first round of Euro 2012 matches have been relatively open and entertaining, but this was a slow game. The two sides wanted to ‘not lose’ more than they wanted to win, so a draw seemed likely from early in the second half, with only France’s long-range shots threatening.
England’s shape was good, but their transitions were disappointing because of Young’s anonymity. He’s a key player for this system, and France did well to nullify his influence. Hodgson will also be concerned about the space between the lines, and the Parker-Gerrard combination needs to be a little more disciplined, and make sure one of them is occupying that zone, rather than chasing the ball or being drawn to opponents.
France were certainly the more positive side, but moved the ball too slowly to draw England’s players out of shape, and maybe needed more variety and movement from their midfield triangle. They put England’s defensive unit under persistent but never particularly strong pressure, and seemed to be waiting for the other two group matches. 本帖最后由 乔治六世 于 2012-6-12 21:17 编辑

法国队1-1英国队战术分析：高卢雄鸡控球占优但其创造性却被退缩后场专注防守的三狮军团所扼杀

双方出场首发阵容
这是一场颇为乏善可陈的比赛，场上节奏甚为缓慢。
劳伦特·布兰克选出了赛前所预期的人员组成他的433阵容，其中弗洛伦特·马卢达可在中场和前场之间来回穿插跑动。
罗伊·霍奇森的阵容中，出现了一个令人惊讶的名字 - 阿莱克斯·奥克斯雷德·张伯伦，他出现在左肋的首发位置上。詹姆斯·米尔纳出现在右肋的首发位置上，而丹尼·维尔贝克取代安迪·卡罗尔获得首肯，出任突前单箭头。
正如预期而言，法国队控球占优（65%），且较之于英国队可怜的5次射门，他们的射门多达21次，然而其中的多数是来自远射。总而言之，布兰克的队伍虽很努力去制造机会，但是明显的得分机会却不多。
阵型的较量
介是一场相当简单明了的比赛。英国队排出一个4-4-2阵型：后场堆积着4后卫和4中场组成的两层防线，阿什利·杨和维尔贝克搭档在前面 - 一对能跑的、体能充足的前场二重奏，他俩伺机寻求利用与左右两肋球员插上所开辟的走廊进行配合。而斯蒂文·杰拉德和斯科特·帕克组成的双后腰则后撤较深。
布兰克则要求阿劳·迪亚拉随时上前紧紧黏贴后撤较深的阿什利·杨，而当他向前移向其搭档维尔贝克时，就要回撤并跑在他前面阻断攻击的英国队二重奏之间的联系。约翰·卡巴耶高位上前靠近杰拉德，而且马卢达则要向前漂移越过帕克插向其身侧后的空当处。然而，当英国队凭借其8名球员组成相当紧凑防线而将阵型收缩在自己半场中间时，则那里留给法国队前插的空间并不多见。法国队可利用的空间也总是剩下的两个边的地带，而且，尽管马蒂厄·德比西和帕特里斯·埃夫拉从两个边路上前助攻很好，法国人也难以制造明显的威胁球机会。边路进攻往往制造了许多的角球机会，这使得英国人一时在防守定位球时显得较为紧张些。
法国队的攻击
英国队的攻击
下半场
结论
总体而言，2012欧洲杯小组赛第一轮开赛以来，比赛已经呈现出相当开放性特点，观赏性颇为了得，但是这一场却是相当沉闷的比赛。双方与其说是比谁斗狠争胜，倒不如说是比谁不丢球更甚，所以在众目睽睽之下，一场平局似乎在下半场开赛不久就早早地定调了，而只见法国队不痛不痒地进行远射欲制造威胁。

Euro 2012 preview: France
June 6, 2012
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/france.jpg
France's possible starting line-up
Whatever happens at this tournament, Euro 2012 will be an improvement on the sheer embarrassment of World Cup 2010 for France. The off-field problems meant it was almost impossible to determine how good a side France could have been, and therefore it’s difficult to judge how well Laurent Blanc has performed. But then, repairing the morale of the squad was key, and Blanc seems to have handled that well; his side are now on a 21-match unbeaten run.
On the field, there are still problems to solve. In his three pre-tournament qualifiers, Blanc was either indulging himself in widespread experimentation, or he was a little lost. France have a great number of good players, particularly attacking midfielders, but those players are all of a vaguely similar standard – only Franck Ribery seems undroppable – and all are highly versatile.
Blanc seems to have too many options, and while it feels like there’s a winning combination somewhere, France haven’t yet found it (although the 4-0 win over Estonia on Tuesday night was impressive). As a result, they are highly unpredictable – if it all comes together they could win the competition. If Blanc keeps changing things, it could be a disaster.
Backline
Hugo Lloris is the undisputed number one, and a fine goalkeeper. Ahead of him, though, there are problems. The centre-back duo, Philippe Mexes and Adil Rami, don’t seem to function well together – they play high up the pitch but seem vulnerable to balls played in behind, and neither seems to be particularly adept at covering for the other, which was particularly obvious in the 3-2 friendly win over Iceland, when France were 2-0 down in the opening half. They play high up the pitch, and don’t have the pace to cover the space in behind.
Laurent Koscielny has been given a brief chance to impress, and because his game is all about pace and covering space in behind at Arsenal, he seems like a good alternative at the back – either centre-back is droppable. However, Blanc’s decision to go with Mexes-Rami in the final friendly against Estonia indicates that they’ll start against England. Strangely, Blanc has only brought three centre-backs to the tournament, none of the full-backs have experience of playing in the middle, and Diarra would be an uncomfortable makeshift centre-back. Koscielny came on as a substitute against Estonia in a holding midfield role, though this was probably simply to give him playing time, rather than a serious tactical option.
Patrice Evra and Mathieu Debuchy will play at full-back. Evra has had an inconsistent two years at Manchester United and is prone to lapses in concentration for his national side too, but has shaken off the challenge of Gael Clichy. Debuchy would have battled the injured Bacary Sagna for the right-back position, although he was probably favourite to start anyway, having played well throughout Sagna’s previous injury. He might surprise opponents with his forward running – he’s a bigger attacking threat than Evra.
Midfield
Blanc has chopped and changed in the midfield zone, playing a 4-2-3-1, a 4-3-3 and something in between, trying to find the right combination in the centre. He’s basically settled upon a 4-3-3, which means one ball-winner, one passer and one attacking player.
In the first role, Alou Diarra has benefited from Yann M’Vila’s fitness concerns and will play directly ahead of the defence. He’s a solid player – good positionally and decent on the ball, but he can suffer from being stranded ahead of the defence when the other two midfielders move forward, and you get the impression that he’s much more comfortable when paired with another holder, as he is for Marseille, or even simply a ‘passer’ playing deep in a 4-2-3-1, rather than in the Makelele role.
Yohan Cabaye plays ahead of Diarra and plays an efficient, busy role – he’s energetic but patient on the ball, generally looking to supply another creator rather than play the killer ball, as he increasingly did for Newcastle towards the end of 2011/12. He’s essentially an all-rounder.
The third midfielder will be, slightly surprisingly, Florent Malouda. He performed excellently in the friendly against Bosnia, and shuttles forward to link midfield and attack. He’s benefited from the use of a 4-3-3 rather than a 4-2-3-1. Whereas Jeremy Menez and Mathieu Valbeuna would have been candidates for the third slot in an attacking band of three in a 4-2-3-1, they’re not able to play as a midfielder in a 4-3-3. Malouda is the obvious choice, although it’s a shame Marvin Martin didn’t get a start in the pre-tournament friendlies, as he seemed suited to that role and would have brought more guile to the midfield.
Front three
Further forward, Ribery plays higher up the pitch than he does for Bayern, and has found form at the Euros by combining with the striker whilst cutting inside and driving towards goal. His form for the national side has been inconsistent, but he has a habit of scoring the opening goals in games. On the other side, Samir Nasri’s place is less secure. Valbuena and, in particular, Menez could challenge him for that spot – Menez would be a more direct option, although maybe Blanc wouldn’t want to replicate Ribery’s immediacy on the ball, and wants balance. Valbuena had a disappointing season at Marseille, so Nasri remains first-choice, coming inside and looking for passes from midfield.
Upfront, Karim Benzema has been in superb form at Real Madrid and will start as the lone striker. He’s a terrific all-round forward, able to lead the line with force as well as score goals. There was a brief chance that he would have to play deeper, with Olivier Giroud playing highest up the pitch – Giroud’s hold-up play against Iceland was sensational – but now it seems the Montpellier striker will be a (very good) substitute. He’ll join Valbuena, Menez and Hatem Ben Arfa on a strong bench.
At least, that’s how it will probably be in the opening game. Blanc really doesn’t seem to have a firm idea of what he wants from his side, and it’s very possible that he could change multiple players, and even his formation, between the group games.
Expect a France side that plays out from the back and looks to dominate possession in the centre of the pitch. The difficulty comes in the final third – the transfer of the ball from midfield to attack must be swift and purposeful.
Conclusion
Arguably the most unpredictable side in the competition. In the final two pre-tournament friendlies there was a hint of cohesion and understanding between Malouda, Ribery, Nasri and Benzema, but as a unit these players are yet to be tested against major opposition. France need a couple of attackers to have excellent tournaments.
Quick guide
Coach – Laurent Blanc
Formation – 4-3-3, at least from the start
Key player – Karim Benzema
Strength – plenty of attacking options, lots of creativity
Weakness – a poor centre-back partnership compared to the rest of the side
Key tactical question – What is France’s Plan B?
Key coach quote – “I like passing the ball around and I like to keep the ball. I like it when the ball is played out from the back, and I also like my teams to be efficient.”

ZM2012欧洲杯前瞻之法国篇
不管这届杯赛表现如何，对于法国队来说2012欧洲杯的经历肯定好于令人羞耻的2010世界杯。当时场外的问题使人们无法评判那届法国队究竟能踢得怎么样，因此也难以评价布兰科现在的表现到底如何。在那之后，恢复全队的精神士气成为了关键，布兰科似乎也做的不错；他的球队现在已经连续22场不败了。
然而在场上仍然有问题亟待解决。在最后三场预选赛里，布兰科要么是痴迷于大幅度的阵型试验，要么是有点不知所措。法国有不少优秀球员，特别是攻击中场位置，但这些球员都差不多是一个类型——只有里贝里是不可替代的——并且都具有高度的多面手属性。
布兰科似乎有很多选择，虽然应该有一种是成功的，但法国队还没有找到（尽管周二晚上4-0大胜爱沙尼亚的比赛令人印象深刻）。结果是，很难预测他们的表现——如果发挥好所有这些因素他们足以赢得冠军。但如果布兰科一直不停换来换去，可能会导致灾难。
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/france.jpg
后防线
作为一名还不错的门将，洛里斯是无可争议的1号。然而由谁站在他的身前还存在争议。中卫组合梅克斯和拉米似乎并不来电——他们压得很靠上但似乎惧怕被打身后，而且两人都不太习惯为另一个人补位，这在3-2赢下冰岛的友谊赛中体现的很明显，法国在上半场就以0-2落后。两人压上防守，但没有足够的速度来保护身后的空当。
科斯切尔尼曾经被短暂考察，因为他在阿森纳的比赛中习惯于靠速度来保护身后，他似乎是两名中卫的理想替代者——两人中的任何一个都可以被拿下。但是，布兰科在最后一场对阵爱沙尼亚的比赛里仍然决定采用梅克斯-拉米的中卫组合，预示着他们将在对阵英格兰的比赛中首发。奇怪的是布兰科只带了3名中卫，而且没有一个边后卫有过打中路的经验，阿卢-迪亚拉只能凑活打一打。科斯切尔尼在和爱沙尼亚的比赛里作为替补打了会儿后腰，但这似乎仅仅是为了让他上场踢一会儿，而不是什么重要的战术选择。
埃弗拉和德布希将出任左右边卫。埃弗拉这两年在曼联打比赛断断续续，而且似乎也无法集中于国家队比赛，但他还是击败了克里希的挑战。凭借萨尼亚受伤后的一系列高光的表现，德布希在右后卫位置上战胜了萨尼亚，尽管现在（由于萨尼亚的伤病）他无论如何都得首发。对手们或许会惊讶与他的插上——相较于埃弗拉，他可以制造更多的进攻威胁。
中场
布兰科对中场进行了改造，采用4-2-3-1，4-3-3或者介于两者之间的一种阵型，并试图在中场找到最佳组合。基本上他会祭出4-3-3阵容，意味着一个抢球机器、一个出球人和一个进攻球员。
在第一个位置上，阿卢-迪亚拉似乎战胜了姆维拉，将会负责防线身前的区域。他是个可靠的球员——位置感强而且拿球不错，但他经常会在其他两名中场前压时陷入困境，而且根据印象流他似乎更喜欢和另一个后腰搭档，就像他在马赛时那样，或者仅仅是作为“出球人”出现在4-2-3-1体系里，而不是作为“马克莱莱”式的球员。
卡巴耶将会在迪亚拉身前，扮演一个高效且忙碌的角色——他能量充沛但拿球时也很有耐心，一般会试图支持另一名创造者，而非自己传出关键球，就像他在2011/12赛季最后在纽卡所做的。他其实是一个很好的多面手。
稍微令人惊讶的是，第三名中场将会是马卢达。他在对阵波斯尼亚的友谊赛中发挥出色，有效连接了中场和攻击线。他会受益于4-3-3阵型，而不是4-2-3-1。尽管梅内和瓦尔布埃纳都可以在4-2-3-1的3中找到位置，但他们不能在4-3-3中出任中场。马卢达是显然的选择，尽管马尔文-马丁没有在友谊赛中首发令人遗憾，因为他似乎很适合这个位置而且也更狡猾。
前场三人组
再往前看，里贝里将比在拜仁时的位置更靠前，并且会通过内切射门来与前锋取得联系，从而在欧洲杯上找回状态。虽然他效力国家队时的状态时好时坏，但他习惯于在比赛中攻入打开局面的首球。另一边，纳斯里的位置稍微不那么稳固。瓦尔布埃纳，尤其是梅内，都会和他竞争——梅内将是更为直接的选择，尽管可能布兰科不希望（在右路）重复里贝里直接的风格，因此寻求平衡。瓦尔布埃纳在马赛度过了令人失望的一个赛季，所以纳斯里将是首选，他会内收并且寻求来自中场的传递。
锋线上，本泽马在皇马找到了火热的状态，将会首发出任单中锋。他全面的令人可怕，既可以凭借强力引领锋线的发挥，也能负责进球。他也有很小的可能后撤，而让吉鲁顶在前面——吉鲁在对阵冰岛时的完美地发挥了单中锋背身拿球的作用——但现在看来蒙彼利埃射手将会成为一个（出色的）替补。他将和瓦尔布埃纳、梅内、本阿尔法一起组成实力强劲的替补席。
至少，这会是首场比赛中很可能首发的阵容。布兰科似乎并不十分清楚他到底想派出什么样的阵容，在小组赛期间，他有很大的可能会替换某些球员，甚至更改阵型。
结论
也许是赛事里最难以预测的球队。在最后两场热身赛中，有迹象显示马卢达、里贝里、纳斯里和本泽马有一些默契和感应，但作为一个整体这些球员还没有经受过更强大对手的考验。要想在杯赛中表现出色，法国队需要几个出色的攻击手。
快速指南
主帅：劳伦特-布兰科
阵型：4-3-3，至少首发会是这样
关键球员:卡里姆-本泽马
强项：多样的攻击选择，丰富的创造力
弱项：相较其他位置，中卫组合缺乏默契
战术上的关键问题：法国队的“Plan B”是什么？
主教练语录：“我喜欢把球传起来，喜欢牢牢控制住球。在防线出球之后，我希望我们能这样做，我也希望我的球队能够高效”。

Euro 2012 preview: England
June 6, 2012
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/england.jpg
Possible starting line-up before Rooney's return. Carroll could start ahead of Welbeck.
Roy Hodgson was the right choice as England coach – at least in the short-term – but realistically, you can’t expect a side to play good football when their coach is appointed a month before the tournament.
Besides, even without considering the managerial situation or England’s terrible record of injuries in the last couple of weeks, England have their weakest set of players for many years. The alleged ‘golden generation’ (though this phrase has been used more frequently in a sarcastic tone than in praise of the players) are now slightly over the hill – Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Ashley Cole, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are all still doing a good job for their clubs, but their peak was a few years ago, and they never combined to great success then. There is a decent young generation coming through, but for various reasons they haven’t established themselves in the side yet.
Hodgson is left with an uninspiring squad that isn’t really one thing nor the other – it’s not blessed with great technical quality, nor does it have the feel of a settled, organised squad who will be defensively disciplined. Some of Hodgson’s decisions have been questionable – the biggest one might have been taken by the FA, rather than him – but he doesn’t have much to work with.
Organised and counter-attacking
Hodgson, of course, will play a certain style of football. His sides always play with two banks of four sitting deep behind the ball, and then two attackers – either two out-and-out strikers, or a target man in combination with a trickier player just behind – staying upfront. He wants a direct style of football – and ‘direct’ doesn’t mean thumped long balls towards the centre-forward (though that can hardly be ruled out if Andy Carroll starts), but simply passing the ball forward quickly, attacking the opposition defence before they have time to get themselves organised, and before the opposition midfield forms a secure barrier ahead of them.
Just as Hodgson has huge belief in the value of a defensively aware midfield for his own side, he wants to bypass the opposition midfield immediately. In the two friendlies England have played under Hodgson, against Norway and Belgium, they’ve won 1-0 with two very ‘Hodgson’ goals – scored by Young and Danny Welbeck. Young’s goal, in particular, was stereotypical of a Hodgson side – it came after a direct attack with a long accurate pass from defence, then the forwards attacked the defence quickly while they were positionally unbalanced.
This strategy means England won’t be overly concerned with dominating possession, and the first pass out of the defence will often be wayward. There’s a similarity here with the Zambia side that won this year’s African Cup of Nations tournament – two banks of four, two wide players that break directly towards goals from the flanks, one ‘passer’ and one destroyer in the midfield, and two forwards. Zambia recorded the lowest pass completion rate in the tournament, but they didn’t play bad football – it was just that they had such a commitment to get the ball to attackers quickly, that the first pass was often misplaced. If the first pass was accurate, the attacking quartet would break quickly and combine wonderfully.
First bank of four
Hodgson’s priority in training will have been the defence. Unfortunately, with Chelsea players joining up with the England camp late after their Champions League success, and with Gary Cahill now ruled out of the tournament, England haven’t had much time to get settled at the back. Cahill would have formed a solid Chelsea connection along with Terry and Cole (even the right-back, Glen Johnson, used to play for Chelsea) but his place will instead go to Joleon Lescott.
Lescott probably had the best season of any English centre-back, but he disturbs an existing partnership (he personally enjoyed a good partnership with another player in the squad, Phil Jagielka, at Everton) and also wants to play to the left of the two centre-backs, which is where Terry plays. This shouldn’t cause too much of a problem, but Terry always seems oddly disorientated when asked to play on the right – as demonstrated in the 4-1 defeat to Germany two years ago, when Matthew Upson was alongside him. At least the back four will be playing in front of Joe Hart, who has been one of the finest goalkeepers in Europe over the past two seasons.
Second bank of four
Ahead of the defence, Scott Parker will play the most disciplined role in central midfield, with Steven Gerrard having license to push on, and allowed to knock long passes out to the flanks. This is the zone that looked least impressive in the two qualifiers, partly because Parker still doesn’t look 100% fit, following a couple of niggling injuries towards the end of the season. A large part of Parker’s game is about chasing, and if he can’t chase, he’s much less of an asset.
Gerrard’s positional discipline will be questioned in a deep role, and though these concerns are probably slightly exaggerated, a Parker-Gerrard midfield duo isn’t as positionally intelligent as Hodgson would like. The Michael Carrick situation is too complex to go into, but he would have been extremely useful.
The real question marks are on the flanks. Theo Walcott didn’t feature until late in Hodgson’s second friendly, but this can be explained by him returning from a hamstring injury, and he will probably start on the right. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, and Stewart Downing all started in the friendlies, and none were particularly impressive. The most likely player for the left is probably Milner, whose hard work, positional discipline and constant running means he should be perfect for Hodgson’s system. Downing also keeps shape well, but he had a terrible season at Liverpool, while Oxlade-Chamberlain seems ideal as a supersub.
Forwards
Upfront, there is the issue with Wayne Rooney – suspended for the first two games, but available for the final group game and any knock-out matches. Without him, England will play Young just behind the primary striker – again, his goal in Norway was perfect for this system and his lateral movement into the channels should give England forward passing options.
But who will play as the number nine? It seems a toss-up between Carroll and Welbeck – Carroll is the classic target man, but Welbeck’s fine goal against Belgium might get him the nod. For the France game, Welbeck is the better option – France struggle with balls played in behind the defence, as the centre-backs are poor at covering for each other. There have been suggestions that Downing starting makes Carroll more likely, and vice-versa, but that hardly worked for Liverpool this season.
What will happen when Rooney returns? It seems silly to predict it now, as it depends upon the performances of the four attacking players – but it’s likely that he’ll return to his number ten position, with Young replacing either Walcott or Milner, depending upon their performances. Alternatively, if Young has been disappointing he could be dropped, or if neither striker has done well, then Rooney could play upfront. In theory Rooney might not play – but that’s simply not going to happen, as it would require all of the front four playing so well that they’re undroppable. Jermain Defoe, along with Oxlade-Chamberlain, will be decent impact substitutes.
Conclusion
“I’d refer you to the Danes in 1992 and the Greeks in 2004,” Hodgson said, when asked if England stood a chance of winning the competition. He was probably going for an ‘anything can happen in football’ type comment, but the statement revealed Hodgson’s mindset – the role of underdog, and that will be reflected in England’s tactics.
Quick guide
Coach – Roy Hodgson
Formation – 4-4-2 / 4-4-1-1
Key player – Ashley Young, at least until Rooney’s return
Strength – a fine goalkeeper, and probably a good defensive shape
Weakness – little attacking cohesion because of the lack of time spent playing in this system, plus a lot of injuries leaves them with inadequate back-ups
Key tactical question – how good are England’s transitions from defence to attack? This will determine their level of attacking threat
Key coach quote – “With 4-4-2, you’ve got ‘twos’ all over the field. I would always be looking to find a team that can play with a back four. Amongst the front six there a lot more options.”
Betfair odds – 16.0 (15/1)

你确信你的负RP好使吗？我怎么有点慌啊... 我的负RP是国家免检，你就放心吧 France 2-0 Ukraine: Ribery v Husiev battle decides the game
June 16, 2012
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/france-ukraine22.jpg
The starting line-ups
After a long rain delay, France took the initiative and went onto win the game comfortably.
Laurent Blanc made two changes. One was a straight swap, with Patrice Evra dropping out and Gael Clichy starting at left-back. Higher up, the introduction of Jeremy Menez at the expense of Florent Malouda meant Samir Nasri moved into a permanent central position, and France switched to a 4-2-3-1.
Oleg Blokhin had said before the tournament that he didn’t have a set first choice XI, and would switch from game to game, but after Ukraine’s famous 2-1 victory over Sweden on Monday, he stuck with the same side.
The first half was heavily affected by the rain delay – the teams returned to the pitch and played very slow football that lacked ambition. In the second half, the game was much more open and interesting.
Formation battle
France’s shift to 4-2-3-1 seemed to make them a better side, with a central orchestrator in Nasri, but also thrust from both flanks. That was very different from in the first game against England, where Nasri was moving inside from the right flank to play that role anyway, but leaving the right flank bare, and making Malouda’s job unclear.
Nasri was marked by Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, who had done a similar job on a very different player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, against Sweden. Whereas Ibrahimovic tried to escape Tymoshchuk by moving forward to become a second striker, Nasri naturally dropped deeper into midfield, into a position where Tymoshchuk was scared to follow.
Meanwhile, Serhiy Nazarenko was given the job of tracking Yohan Cabaye, who started in a deeper role but increasingly moved forward and influenced the game in the final third. To complete the clash of midfield triangles, Andriy Voronin dropped onto Diarra, making sure Ukraine weren’t overrun in the middle.
Strategies
Ukraine tried to play a high line against France, a surprising move considering they don’t have great pace at the back, and France’s three attackers all threaten by getting in behind the defence. That high line was clear even in the four minutes before the rain delay, but Blokin persisted with it throughout the first half.
Ukraine’s strategy was basically to play on the break, although they struggled to get the two (very) wide players involved in the game – the two French full-backs won both those battles. They started playing longer balls to the strikers, and while Voronin was often too concerned with his defensive duties to find space, Andriy Shevchenko worked the channel next to Adil Rami and created a couple of half-chances after diagonal balls.
France looked most likely to score when Benzema moved to the left and linked with Franck Ribery, a combination which had looked promising throughout France’s pre-tournament friendlies. Ribery’s burst of pace combined with Benzema’s simple wall passes got France into good positions, and these moves usually ended with a chance for Menez, who was making runs in behind the defence.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08krN.png
Ribery v Husiev
But the key battle here was Ribery against Oleg Husiev. Put simply, Ribery didn’t want to track back and help defend (which is even more dangerous in a 4-2-3-1 than in a 4-3-3), while Husiev continually made forward runs and then was out of position when Ukraine lost the ball.
This was a little like Cristiano Ronaldo against Lars Jacobsen on Wednesday, and the opening goal – whichever way it went – seemed destined to come from this area of the pitch.
Ukraine switch
But first, the game needed to become more open, and Blokhin’s decision to replace Voronin with Marko Devic was a big surprise. Devic is more of a natural striker, and while Voronin wasn’t contributing much going forward, his defensive job on Diarra was nullifying France’s midfield advantage. Besides, Ukraine should have been happy with 0-0 – there was no need to gamble.
Devic didn’t drop onto Diarra so quickly, and the game became much more frantic. Ukraine were more confident about their chances going forward, and Shevchenko went close shortly after half-time. France were able to break more swiftly through the centre of the pitch, and down the left.
Ribery comes out on top
That Ribery v Husiev clash was still key – and it could have gone either way. Husiev often overlapped Andriy Yarmolenko energetically, only to not receive a pass when totally unmarked. Had Ukraine been cleverer in the final third, Husiev’s bravery would have won the day.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/088ZP.png
Instead, Ukraine failed to take advantage of having a man in space, and Ribery’s running with the ball was a huge threat. For the first goal, he hadn’t bothered to track Husiev back, and therefore was in a great position to launch a counter-attack – Tymoshchuk was dragged across, Benzema had time to turn when Ribery slipped him in, and Menez was calm enough to cut inside from the right and finish inside the near post.
At 1-0 up, France played their best football of the tournament. There was a great deal of fluidity about their play – shown by Cabaye venturing into the box for the second goal, and the superb 20-pass move that ended with the Newcastle midfielders hitting the post.
It felt like France could have gone onto score more, but Blanc replaced Cabaye with Yann M’Vila on 68 minutes, a sign he wanted to shut the game down. France were very professional in the final 20 minutes, and won the game comfortably.
Conclusion
Two major parts to this game – first, there was the Ribery v Husiev battle. With neither showing anything like the required defensive discipline, both got freedom to run at the opposition defence. Ribery was excellent with the ball at his feet, but was lucky Ukraine didn’t punish his laziness.
But Blokhin’s half-time change must also be questioned – maybe he wanted to be more ambitious and wasn’t impressed with Voronin’s contribution upfront, but Ukraine didn’t need to win the game. Devic’s lack of defensive work didn’t impact directly on the goal, but the switch made the game much, much more open. That generally favours the better technical side. 本帖最后由 thewall 于 2012-6-22 09:56 编辑

法国2-0乌克兰战术复盘：里贝里与古谢夫的对抗决定比赛走势
2012-06-16
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/france-ukraine22.jpg
首发阵容
比赛因为大雨延迟了一小时开球，法国队刚开局就占据了优势，轻松赢下了比赛。
布兰科在首发阵容中做出两点变动：首先是一个对位调整，左后卫的位置上他用克里希代替埃弗拉；然后在前场用梅内替下马卢达，这就意味着纳斯里的位置要移到中路，法国队变阵为4-2-3-1。
布洛欣曾经说过他没有固定的首发十一人人选，而是每场比赛都会有所不同。但是在乌克兰表现强势2-1战胜瑞典之后，布洛欣在这场比赛中派出了相同阵容。
比赛的上半时因为大雨延迟而受到了很大影响，双方回到球场上之后缺乏进取心，比赛节奏非常缓慢。下半时比赛更加开放也更加好看。
阵型之战
法国队变阵4-2-3-1之后表现有了很大起色，纳斯里坐镇中路负责协调，边路两翼齐飞。这与他们首场对阵英格兰的表现截然不同，虽然上一场比赛纳斯里也从右路移动到中路，但是这在右翼就留下了一个很大的空当，马卢达也对自己的任务一头雾水。
纳斯里在本场比赛中受到季莫什丘克的重点照顾，后者在上一场比赛中也是这样盯防瑞典队的箭头人物伊布拉希莫维奇。伊布的解决方案是向前插上充当二前锋的角色，以此摆脱季莫什丘克；纳斯里则是更深地后撤，使得季莫什丘克有所忌惮，无法继续跟随防守。
而纳扎伦科的任务是盯防卡巴耶，后者开场时的站位比较深，但是随着比赛的进行，他逐渐前移，并在进攻腹地对比赛产生了深远的影响。沃罗宁防守迪亚拉，并与季莫什丘克以及纳扎伦科组成中场三角，以保证乌克兰的中场不要被法国队控制。
战略战术
乌克兰尝试以高位防守对付法国队，这一决定令人吃惊，因为乌克兰的防守球员速度并不快，而法国队的三名攻击手就埋伏在乌克兰防线之后，随时准备对对手球门造成威胁。虽然第一次开场四分钟就因大雨被叫停，但乌克兰的高位防守意图已经非常明显，不过布洛欣决定上半时要坚持这种打法。
乌克兰的战术基本上就是打反击，但是他们的两翼很难融入比赛，法国队两名边后卫完美地冻结了乌克兰的边锋。然后乌克兰尝试以长传球找前锋，但是沃罗宁被防守任务牵扯了很大精力，难以分心找到空当接球反击；舍甫琴科在拉米一侧的肋部活动，他接到来自身后的斜传球之后创造过一些五五开的机会。
本泽马移动到左路与里贝里配合之后，法国队看上去更接近破门了。本泽马与里贝里组合的威力在欧洲杯前的热身赛上就已经初露端倪。里贝里的的高速冲刺以及与本泽马的撞墙式配合令法国队占据优势，而他们创造出的射门机会通常由梅内从对方后卫的人丛中快速杀出后完成。
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08krN.png
里贝里与古谢夫之战
但是本场比赛中的关键对抗来自里贝里与古谢夫。简单地说，里贝里几乎没有回防意识（这一点在4-2-3-1阵型中比在4-3-3中更危险），而古谢夫喜欢插上，而当乌克兰丢失球权之后，他通常无法及时归位。
这有点像周三时C罗与雅各布森之间的较量，而法国队的第一个进球，暂且不说是以什么方式打进的，恰恰就是来自于里贝里与古谢夫所在的区域。
乌克兰的转换
双方的场面有些僵持不下时，比赛需要打得更开放一些。布洛欣用德维奇换下沃罗宁的决定有些出人意料，德维奇相比较而言更是一个比较纯粹的前锋，而沃罗宁虽然比赛中虽然进攻端贡献不大，但是他对迪亚拉的防守限制了法国队在中场占据的优势。此外，乌克兰也应该对0-0的比分满意，他们根本没有必要进行赌博式换人。
德维奇并没有迅速地跟上盯防迪亚拉，比赛一度变得更加混乱。乌克兰对于在前场获得机会更有信心，舍瓦在下半时开场之后几次接近破门；而法国队则从中场打起反击，迅速将球分到左路。
里贝里表现一流
里贝里与古谢夫的对抗仍然是比赛的关键，而原本双方胜负难料。古谢夫经常充满活力地套边插到亚尔莫连科身前，但他在无人盯防的情况下却很难得到传球。如果乌克兰在最后半小时打得更聪明一点，古谢夫的勇猛很可能为球队赢下比赛。
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/088ZP.png
乌克兰没有及时利用能够拉扯出空间的球员做文章，而里贝里的带球突破则是一大威胁。在第一个进球中，他没有回追协防古谢夫，正因此他处在一个绝好的反击位置上，季莫什丘克将球交出，里贝里衔枚疾进，传给中路的本泽马，本泽马从容转身将球交给右路内切的梅内，梅内冷静地打近角得手。
1-0领先之后，法国队打出了他们在本届欧洲杯上的最好表现，比赛踢得十分灵活流畅，一次进攻中卡巴耶突入禁区想要再下一城，在经过20次左右流畅娴熟的传球之后，纽卡斯尔中场遗憾地将球打在立柱上。
从比赛形势看，法国队很可能收获更多进球，但是布兰科在第68分钟用姆维拉换下卡巴耶，这是他想要结束比赛的信号。法国队在比赛的最后20分钟表现出色，最终轻松赢得了比赛。
结论
本场比赛的看点有两个，首先是里贝里与古谢夫的对抗，双方都没有完成各自教练在防守方面的战术要求，因此两人反而都获得了相当大的自由，可以在对方的后卫线一带跑动。里贝里的有球技术非常好，但是他的疏于回防没有被乌克兰抓住机会，可以说是运气不错。
而布洛欣在下半时的换人则值得商榷，也许他希望更有野心，也许他并没有看到沃罗宁在前场的贡献，但乌克兰并不需要一定赢下这场比赛。德维奇防守上的不积极虽然不是球队失球的直接原因，但这次换人使得比赛更加开放，显然这对于技术更好的球队更有利。 本帖最后由 thewall 于 2012-6-17 11:33 编辑
England 3-2 Sweden: long balls, set-pieces and terrible defending
June 16, 2012
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/sweden-england.jpg
The starting line-ups
A scrappy game low on quality, but high on entertainment.
Roy Hodgson made one change. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was dropped with Ashley Young moving to the left, and Andy Carroll coming upfront as a target man.
Erik Hamren brought in three players – Johan Elmander upfront, Anders Svensson in the middle, and Jonas Olsson at the back, though Sweden played pretty much the same formation as against Ukraine.
This was a crazy, open match that could have gone either way – both sides had spells when they were on top.
Formations
This was basically 4-4-2 against 4-4-2. Sweden’s formation is often described as a 4-2-3-1, but here Zlatan Ibrahimovic played high up the pitch, basically as a second striker. Welbeck, meanwhile, played high up the pitch close to Carroll. He often dropped into midfield when England didn’t have the ball, but his role was a little confused, and this deep position meant he couldn’t work the channels as he’d done against France. The only time he got running with the ball was towards the end of the first half, when five Sweden defenders surrounded him.
The key in terms of positioning was not necessarily the formation battle, but how high the defensive lines were playing. England were pushing very high up, much further up the pitch than against France. Sometimes they pressed well and forced Sweden back, but often they were exposed with passes in behind. Ibrahimovic nearly embarrassed John Terry in a straight race, while Glen Johnson had to make a last-ditch tackle after a ball in behind England’s back four.
Sweden probably didn’t defend high enough. Their defence lacks pace, but they dropped into the penalty box readily and were vulnerable to Carroll’s aerial threat. He tended to work the left of the pitch, against Olof Mellberg and Andreas Granqvist. His goal, after a superb Steven Gerrard cross from deep, justified his selection and England’s approach.
Carroll and long balls
But the problem with playing Carroll is that the side becomes too focused upon playing long balls – and while that obviously had a decisive impact in the penalty box, it must also be partly blamed for England’s inability to keep the ball. Their pass completion rate didn’t improve from the France game, despite playing against weaker opposition and higher up the pitch, and Hodgson’s side could have done with calmer, steadier passing to hold the advantage at 1-0.
But the game was largely about headers and set-pieces, and territory was more important than possession – maybe typical, for a game involving these two nations. England’s tendency to lose the ball meant they were forced into their own half, and they kept giving away free-kicks, giving Sweden a chance to get the ball in the box. There didn’t seem to be much creativity from open play.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08FrR.png
Second half
Sweden scored from two early second half set-pieces, and at 2-1 up were clearly on top. England looked shellshocked, unable to keep the ball for long periods and retreating much deeper than they’d been in the first half.
The introduction of Theo Walcott was crucial to England’s recovery. The standard criticism of Walcott is that he had little more than pace, but his raw speed was absolutely crucial for England in this battle of territory. He simply drove England up the pitch and forced Sweden to defend deeper. At no point did England play good football, but a goal from another set-piece (a corner, which came after Isaksson had saved a header from a preceding free-kick) got them back in the game.
Walcott’s strike was deflected (look at Sebastian Larsson’s sock when the ball goes past it) and the nature of the strike didn’t illustrate what he was bringing to the game (directness and width), but he was the appropriate goalscorer.
Closing stages
Walcott was the only crucial substitute. Sweden made changes upfront and at right-back due to injury, and the introduction of winger Christian Wilhelmsson (who came off the bench to good effect against Ukraine) could have done for Sweden what Walcott did for England. It didn’t, and Walcott was the most important player in the final twenty minutes, setting up Welbeck for a clever finish for the winner.
But the second half’s main feature was simply terrible defending – both at set-pieces and in open play. For two sides expected to retain great shape without the ball, they were both were all over the place – the wingers were slow to get back into position, the central midfielders scampered forward when they should have been protecting their back four, and too many free-kicks were conceded.
All that, combined with (a) poor possession play when either side was ahead and (b) the fact that, realistically, both needed a win, meant a goalfest – but neither side actually played well, in tactical or technical terms.
Conclusion
Tactically, one of the least impressive games of the tournament – though it was interesting how territory was so much more important to both sides than possession, (which, for the record, was 50-50).
Sweden are eliminated after two very disappointing performances, and their terrible record of conceding headed goals from set-pieces continued, though England did their best do out-do them at the other end.
Hodgson will find more negatives than positives in this display, despite the win. England didn’t do much well – they didn’t retain the ball nor have a good defensive shape, though the Walcott change was vital. With three different scorers, Wayne Rooney’s return will mean disappointment for at least one of Welbeck, Carroll and Walcott. 本帖最后由 thewall 于 2012-6-22 10:05 编辑

英格兰3-2瑞典：长传冲吊与定位球破门凸显两队防守弊端
2012-06-17
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/sweden-england.jpg
首发阵容
这场比赛的技术含量非常低，但却很具有观赏性。
霍奇森对首发做出了一处调整，张伯伦被放在板凳上，阿什利-杨来到左路，安迪-卡罗尔突前成为进攻核心。
哈姆伦则换了三个人——埃尔曼德突前，斯文森来到中路，奥尔森镇守后防，不过瑞典的阵型与对阵乌克兰时相比并没有很大的变化。
整场比赛节奏激烈大开大合，结局很具有开放性——两支球队领先之后的表现都很糟糕。
阵型之争
基本上来说是4-4-2与4-4-2之间的对抗。瑞典的阵型经常是4-2-3-1，但这次伊布拉希莫维奇在很前场的位置活动，本质上是个二前锋。英格兰这边则是维尔贝克在前场搭档卡罗尔。维尔贝克在英格兰丢掉球权的时候会后撤至中场，但是作用却有些模糊，而且在这么深的位置他也无法像在对阵法国一役中那样在对方肋部活动。他唯一一次带球突破是在上半时将近结束的时候，周围还围了五个瑞典的防守球员。
卡位的关键程度并不仅仅在于阵型之争，还决定了防线的位置。英格兰这次推得非常靠前，比对阵法国的时候上前很多。他们有的时候压迫得不错，能迫使瑞典后撤，但同时经常被打身后球。伊布在一次直接对抗中几乎完爆了特里，致使格伦-约翰逊不得不在球来到英格兰防线之后的时候做出门前的最后铲断。
瑞典的防线可能推得不够靠前。他们的防守缺乏速度，但是却稳固地守在禁区附近，面对卡罗尔的空中优势显得有些脆弱。卡罗尔大多在场地左侧活动，对抗梅尔贝里和格兰奎斯特。他的进球来自于杰拉德凭借直接任意球从后方送出的斜传，不但证明了自己的作用，还肯定了英格兰的战术。
卡罗尔与长传
不过，有了卡罗尔之后，英格兰的问题就变成过于依赖长传——虽然对对方禁区造成了很大的压力，但这也在一定程度上归结于英格兰控球能力的缺乏。与对阵法国时相比，虽然对手变弱，他们推得也很靠前，但是传球完成率几乎没有进步，而霍奇森的球队在1-0领先之后本来应该在传球方面力争做到更加冷静和稳定。
然而，这场比赛的主角是头球和定位球，阵地之争也远远显得比控球更加重要，对于这两支球队来说倒也很正常。英格兰丢掉球权的趋势意味着他们被压回到了自己的半场，还不断送给对方任意球，让瑞典队有机会进入他们的禁区。不过两支球队在运动战中都没有什么创造性。
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/08FrR.png
下半场
瑞典队在下半场早早地就凭借两个定位球机会以2-1反超比分。英格兰却似乎进入了疲劳期，不能保持控球，比上半场退得更靠后了。
沃尔科特的上场对英格兰重新振作起来至关重要。舆论一直在诟病沃尔科特除了速度之外一无是处，然而正是他的速度给英格兰的这场阵地之争加上了一个重重的砝码。他很轻易地就引领球队回到了前场，迫使瑞典防线后撤。虽说英格兰的踢法怎么也称不上精彩，不过另一个定位球（直接任意球造成的头球攻门被瑞典门将伊萨克森扑出造成角球）带来的进球让他们重新与对手回到了同一起跑线上。
沃尔科特的射门有一点折射（拉尔森在球经过的时候有进行阻挡），而且这个射门本身并没有显示出他给比赛带来了什么因素（直接性和宽度），但是他作为得分手来说再适合不过了。
比赛后期
沃尔科特的上场是唯一一次起到关键作用的换人。瑞典因球员受伤而替换了前锋和右后卫，边锋威廉森的上场本来可以起到与沃尔科特相似的作用（他在对阵乌克兰的时候替补上场很有作为），但却并没有奏效。沃尔科特是最后20分钟里的关键先生，他还助攻维尔贝克以一记精妙的脚后跟勾门将比分反超。
不过下半场最值得一提的是糟糕的防守——不管是对定位球还是运动战都惨不忍睹。这两支球队在无球状态下本该保持住阵型，结果却全都乱七八糟——边锋回追抢球太慢，中场中路球员本该保护好身后的四人防线，却一直在贸然前插，定位球造成的失球也太多了。
总之，由于两支球队在领先后在控球上都表现极差，再加上双方都对比赛势在必得，这才造成了进球大战——不过两支球队表现都不好，技战术方面均无亮点。
结论
战术上来看，这是本届欧洲杯开赛以来最乏善可陈的一场比赛——不过，看到对于这两支球队来讲，阵地之争比控球优势更为重要，倒也挺耐人寻味。（控球比正好为50%对50%）
瑞典在两场令人失望的比赛之后已被淘汰，而且他们恐怖的定位球头球失球纪录仍在继续，虽然英格兰也只比他们稍微强一点而已。
尽管赢了球，但这场比赛给霍奇森带来的失望应该大于得意。英格兰踢得并不好——他们控不住球，也没有保持好防守阵型，只是沃尔科特的上场收到了奇效。鲁尼会在下一场比赛中回归，这意味着三位得分手——维尔贝克、卡罗尔和沃尔科特——中有一位将要失望了。 法国队出线形势较佳吧，不过面对瑞典队，其压力不小于英国队面对乌克兰队的 本帖最后由 乔治六世 于 2012-6-22 09:35 编辑
England 1-0 Ukraine: cagey game
June 20, 2012
http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee512/zonal_marking/eng-ukr.jpg
The starting line-ups
Wayne Rooney returned to head in a simple goal, and England finish top of Group D.
Roy Hodgson dropped Andy Carroll to bring in Rooney, so Danny Welbeck returned to his position as the primary centre-forward.
Oleh Blokhin made various changes – Andriy Shevchenko wasn’t fit enough to start, and Andriy Voronin was dropped, so there was an all-new centre-forward partnership of Artem Milevskiy and Marco Devic. Serhiy Nazarenko was replaced by Denys Harmash, and Yaroslav Rakitskiy came in at the back.
Like all three of England’s matches, this was poor technical game lacking in quality, and many of the chances came from set-pieces and crosses.
Flanks
This was a clash between two similar sides – 4-4-1-1, with one forward dropping off into midfield. It created a cagey, frustrating game that saw little creativity from the centre of the pitch, and both sides looking to work the ball into wide positions.
The most interesting battle was Oleh Huisev against Ashley Young. The Ukrainian right-back played extremely high up the pitch, pushing Young back towards his own goal. At the start of the game Young appeared surprised by Husiev’s attacking intent (he shouldn’t have been, based upon Ukraine’s two games), and Ashley Cole moved out wider and allowed too much space between himself and Joleon Lescott. When Young adjusted his positioning and played deeper, however, Husiev was no longer a threat. Blokhin later tried to get Husiev into more space by moving him to the right of midfield.
It was crucial that England stopped Husiev, because they’ve looked vulnerable to crosses in this tournament, and Husiev was the main threat in that respect. The two wingers came inside, though Andriy Yarmolenko sometimes looked to receive long diagonals up against Cole.
On the other flank, Yevhen Konoplyanka stayed wide initially, then cut inside suddenly to have long-range shots. One tested Joe Hart, forcing him into an awkward save, but four were off target. England were probably happier with a winger coming inside rather than one charging down the outside and crossing, but they must be careful in that zone ahead of the back four, having conceded from that position against France.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/09tYm.png
England on ball
England were disappointing on the ball, with little invention from the midfield zone. Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker play flexibly and switch sides depending on where Gerrard ends up after attacking, but Gerrard tended to stay more to the right of the pitch in this game, having previously spent more time to the left – though this may have been unintentional.
Rooney found space in deep-lying positions, but England couldn’t get the ball to him via the midfielders, who were closed down quickly. Instead, England looked better when the defence hit ambitious balls forward, bypassing the midfield completely. Their best chance of the first half came after a long diagonal from John Terry to Young, followed by a cross that should have been headed in by Rooney.
Corners
Either side of half-time, it became a game of set-pieces. England built pressure with corners in the first half, and while they went ahead following a right-wing corner (Gerrard’s third right-wing assist of the tournament, which might hint at why he spent more time towards that side), they then became penned in by a succession of Ukraine corners.
http://tf-chalkboards.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images/09tZm.png
In truth, the game never developed into a truly exciting spectacle. England were content with their 1-0 (in fact, with news from the other game, they would have topped the group with a draw) while Ukraine were disappointingly tame in front of their home crowd, needing a win to progress – though they probably would have rallied had Milevskiy’s deflected shot been given as a goal.
The substitutions changed little, with only one significant re-structuring by either coach. Blokhin introduced right-back Bohdan Butko for Milevskiy – on paper a very defensive change, but Blokhin moved Husiev forward and Yarmolenko inside, and Ukraine played in roughly the same system.
Hodgson called upon Theo Walcott, Andy Carroll and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who have all played previously in the tournament, to give a renewed attacking threat – but they completed five passes combined, and their introduction was irrelevant to the feel of the game.
Conclusion
4-4-1-1 versus 4-4-1-1, and two naturally reactive teams. As in England’s previous matches, set-pieces were crucial to England’s goalscoring, although they still don’t appear comfortable defending them at the other end. Still, England have their back four and two central midfielders sorted, and Hodgson has options in the other four positions, with players who offer different attributes and tactical variety. Regardless of how England fare in the knockout stage, Hodgson’s performance as coach has been quietly impressive.
Ukraine rarely played well in this tournament. Even their win against Sweden was down to brilliance from Shevchenko rather than great overall play, and Blokhin may regret that unnecessary half-time substitution against France. Still, the Shevchenko-inspired turnaround against Sweden will be remembered forever in Ukraine – and in the absence of a realistic chance of winning the competition, that was probably the best possible outcome. 22楼参考译文 鲁小胖绝杀破门秀新发型
