if i'm the England head coach

Been doing nothing much these days, basically playing and sleeping all day long; leading to a very serious illness - Daydreaming.

Daydream-ed lots of stuffs, all but one worth me to remember, and that is if i'm the England head coach for the World Cup... mwahahaha!

Da LC 4-4-1-1 Formation

Goalkeeper: Paul Robinson

Left-Back : Ashley Cole
Right-Back: Gary Neville
Centre : John Terry & Rio Ferdinand

Left-Wing : Joe Cole
Right-Wing : David Beckham/Aaron Lennon
R Centre : Aaron Lennon/Frank Lampard/Steven Gerrard
L Centre : Steven Gerrard/Frank Lampard

Forward : Peter Crouch/Steven Gerrard/Frank Lampard

Striker : Wayne Rooney/Theo Walcott








Alright, now some explaination for why, why and why.

How The System Works?

When Attacking

The winger will forward run, with the sides back overlapping. 80% of the time he will dribble the ball to middle and try to create chances for target man or far shooter like Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard. If the attack is on the left side, only the left-back will overlap, the right back will stay in the defensive line and vice versa.

As for the runs in the centre, if one move up, the other one shall move down as a holding midfielder; e.g Steven Gerrard moves up and Frank Lampard will move down. There is also a very interesting notion that, there'll only be one far shooter in the centre midfield, while the centre midfielder will give way to Aaron Lennon. Why? simply because David Beckham will most likely to be marked tightly due to his laser-guided crosses (if he's on form), which means that he will have a hard time receiving the ball as well as keeping it in possession, thus with Aaron Lennon running around with his very fast pace, Aaron Lennon will not only be able to support David Beckham on the right, he will also be able to cut the ball into the middle.

A big why for Peter Crouch is in that position?
Judging from his performance so far, i realised that he seldom breaks into opponent's line of defense and takes a crack, and most of the time he will only be in the six yard box when there's a cross or indirect freekick. Other than that, he prefers to show some of his footworks a few yards infront of the midfield and placing the ball for far shooter. By placing Peter Crouch there, he can head down long balls from the defenders or goalkeeper to keep possesion for the English side in the opponent's half.

As for Wayne Rooney, i believe that he has a great ability to hold the ball in the opponent's half as well as some defensive line breaking. With the supplement of balls from pacey midfielders, the English side will have a higher chance of scoring.



When Defending

Everyone will position themselves at their own half, except for Peter Crouch. Wayne Rooney should also be around Peter Crouch but will be positioned within the England's own half. By having these positioning, it will be easier to lead a counter attack, with Peter Crouch heading down the ball and Rooney and the pacey midfielders shall lead the attack.













mwahaha i'm crazy.
