Team profile:
England beat Germany 5-/Kloc-0-0 away in the qualifiers, and finally qualified for direct qualifying, successfully staged a big reversal. England's formation is dominated by famous players from Manchester United and Liverpool, mainly 442, and Eriksson is the defender of 442. When he was at Lazio, he won the Serie A championship with this formation.
Goalkeeper Seaman remained steady, and Martin was injured before he got a chance to play. Rio Ferdinand and Campbell are the best central defenders in England, and veteran Keon will be the main substitute. Right-back Gary Neville performed well under Eriksson, and left-back Ashley Cole was a great discovery for Eriksson.
Right-back David Beckham is the captain of the English team, and no one doubts his ability. Gerrard is more offensive than Ince and Wise, and substitutes Bout and Carragher are also good. Scholes in the front waist is in a brave state this season, and no one can replace him in the main position. The choice of left-back is undecided. In the qualifiers, Eriksson tried mcmanaman, Hejsky and barmby.
Owen is getting more and more comprehensive in the front line, scoring 6 goals in the qualifiers. But his partner is still uncertain. Andy Cole, Hejsky, Fowler and veteran Sheringham are all very competitive. However, the English striker lacks a technical player with strong ball control ability.
Head Coach: Sven Gran Eriksson.
Former head coach kevin keegan announced his resignation after the English team lost 0-/KLOC-0-0 to the German team. Despite the controversy in England, the FA finally chose Swede Eriksson, and Eriksson also proved that the FA's choice was correct with a score of 5 wins/kloc-0. Eriksson started coaching overseas from 1982, and his most remarkable achievement was to lead Lazio to win the league championship in 1999/2000. Eriksson has brought great changes to England,
First, he boldly used young people, and Steven Gerrard, Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand were all able to take on heavy responsibilities. Facts have proved that they played an important role in England's qualifying road; Secondly, Eriksson chose Beckham as the captain of the national team, which made this talented player take on more responsibilities and inspired him to shine more. Thirdly, Eriksson is good at inspiring players psychologically, and his self-confidence, calmness and wisdom give players great encouragement at critical moments; The fourth is the change of formation. For example, in the position of left avant-garde, Eriksson has tried mcmanaman, Hejsky and barmby successively, and the formation of the team is also varied and the playing style is more flexible.
