The "ugly" beauty of England: tenacity and perseverance in running
On the pitch, England always attract the attention of the world with their unique attitude. Euro 2024, this luxury team, worth more than 1.5 billion euros, has once again embarked on the journey of conquest, but with an "ugly" football style that seems to be inconsistent with its value, challenging the boundaries of traditional football aesthetics. However, it is this unpromising tenacity and hard work that has allowed the Three Lions to move forward steadily in the face of doubts until they reach the final four.
Tenacious vitality under conservative tactics
When people think of English football, they often think of flashy attacks, fluid link-ups and a pleasing display of technique. But at this European Championship, Gareth Southgate's England side have chosen a very different path – a conservative and pragmatic tactical set-up. Such a choice undoubtedly made many fans feel disappointed and puzzled, and some even shouted "Southgate is out of class". However, it was this tactical strategy that allowed England to hold their ground against strong opponents, and to approach victory step by step through efficient counter-attacks and relentless running.
Conservatism does not mean giving up, but another form of perseverance and wisdom. The English players may not have flashy dribbling or precise through plugs on the field, but they use every run and every scramble to illustrate what true team spirit and professional attitude are. This "ugly" football, while unpleasant, is practical and effective, allowing England to stand tall in the highly competitive European Championships.
The sweat and effort behind the running distance
The official running distance list released by the European Championship is like a mirror, reflecting the hard work and unremitting efforts of the English players. England have two spots in the list, with Declan Rice topping the table with 63.9km and young Foden fifth with 58.2km. These two stars, who are worth more than 100 million, have interpreted the truth of "worth is proportional to hard work" with practical actions.
Rice, as England's midfield barrier, every run he runs to solidify the defence and create chances. His movement is not only reflected in the aggressive return of the defensive end, but also in the attack, which repeatedly cuts forward to create a threat for the team. Foden, on the other hand, despite his unimpressive stats on the offensive end, is evident in his wide range of runs and aggressive involvement in attack. He contributes to the team in his own way, even if there are no direct goals or assists, but his hard work and sweat are also worthy of respect and recognition.
A double test of tactics and individuals
For England's players, this European Championship is undoubtedly a double test. On the one hand, they will need to adapt and implement Southgate's tactical arrangement, even if it may not seem perfect to the outside world. On the other hand, they also have to give full play to their individual abilities on the pitch and fight for the team to win. Under such double pressure, the England players have shown remarkable adaptability and resilience.
Foden's example is particularly typical. As the Premier League's MVP player last season, his performances at the European Championship were not as impressive as expected, failing to score or assist in five starts. However, that doesn't overshadow his hard work and positivity on the field. Every run, every pass, every attempt he makes, is a sense of responsibility for the team and a desire to win. Perhaps, his performance was not recognized by everyone, but his hard work and persistence have won the trust and support of his teammates and coaches.
Epilogue: Another interpretation of victory
When we look back at the journey of this European Championship, the England team may not appear in front of the world in the most beautiful manner, but they have written a legend of their own with sweat, hard work and tenacity. They show us that football is not just a contest of skill and tactics, but also a game of will, spirit and belief. In this green field, there is no absolute beauty and ugliness, only the infinite pursuit and unremitting struggle for victory.
The story of the England team is the best interpretation of the beauty of "ugly". They have proved with their actions that even if they are not favored, as long as they keep working hard and sticking to their beliefs, they can create their own brilliant moments. In the days to come, no matter where the England team goes, this journey full of sweat and hard work will become the most precious memory and wealth in their hearts.
Fans' voices: England's journey, the glory and reflection forged by sweat
As a long-time football fan, I have always had a deep affection for English football. Every time the horn of the European Championship sounds, my heart boils and I look forward to the Three Lions shining brightest on this green field. However, at Euro 2024, England's performance touched my heart in an unprecedented way, making me both emotional and thoughtful.
When I saw "ugly" for the first time, I was unwilling
When the England team appeared with that seemingly conservative and even somewhat "ugly" tactic, my heart was full of confusion and unwillingness. This luxury team, which is worth more than 1.5 billion euros, is it going to compete for honor in such a posture? The England I remember are David Beckham's precise long pass, Wayne Rooney's sharp breakthrough, and Gerrard's long-range heavy artillery. Now, these images seem to have been overshadowed by the dust of time, replaced by countless rebounds, steals, and seemingly fruitless runs.
I began to question, is this kind of football really what we are after? What fans crave is passionate attack, the pinnacle of technique and tactics, rather than endless defense and counter-attacks. But as time went on, I gradually realized that maybe my understanding of football was too one-sided.
Tenacity and perseverance forged by sweat
The official running distance list of the European Cup is like a shot in the arm, which makes me reacquaint myself with this England team. Rice, Foden and other players are prominently listed, and they have proved with their actions what true professionalism is. On the field, they run at all costs, and every tackle and interception is a desire and pursuit of victory.
I began to realize that football is not just a battle of skill and tactics, but also a game of will, spirit and belief. England didn't play flashy, but I was struck by the tenacity and perseverance they showed. With their own sweat, they forged a path to glory, even if the road was not smooth, and even full of doubts and criticism.
The wisdom and sacrifice behind the tactics
As the game progressed, I gradually understood Southgate's tactical arrangements. In the European Championship, which is full of strong opponents, being conservative does not mean giving up, but is a more pragmatic choice. England not only stabilized their position through efficient defensive counterattacks, but also gave their opponents a fatal blow at crucial moments. Although this tactic seems simple, it requires a high level of tacit understanding and execution from the players.
At the same time, I saw the sacrifices that the players made for the sake of the team's victory. Foden, the Premier League MVP player last season, failed to continue his brilliant form at the European Championships. But he never complained, but silently ran and scramble on the field, contributing his part to the team. This willingness to sacrifice oneself for the sake of the big picture is one of the important reasons why England have been able to get to where they are today.
Reflection and Discussion: What is the Beauty of Football?
Looking back on the journey of this European Championship, the performance of the England team has left me in deep reflection. I began to think, what is the beauty of football? Is it a flashy pass, a precise shot, or a tenacious defense and selfless dedication? Perhaps, both are indispensable. The charm of football as a team sport lies in its ability to bring different elements together to reveal a unique and complex beauty.
At the same time, I also realized that as fans, we should look at every team and every game with a more inclusive and open mind. Every coach and player has their own tactical philosophy and style characteristics, and we should respect their choices, rather than blindly blaming and criticizing. After all, it is only when we understand and respect that we can truly feel the joy and emotion that football brings us.
Finally, I would like to conclude my comment with a quote: "Football is round, and the outcome of the game can never be predicted." This quote not only expresses the charm of football, but also reminds us to face the results of the game with a more peaceful mind. Regardless of whether the England team can win the championship in the end, they have used their sweat and hard work to present us with a wonderful game. And we, as fans, should also be proud and proud of their efforts.
Here, I would also like to invite all fans and friends to join the discussion: What is the beauty of football in your mind? How do you think England will fare at this tournament? Welcome to leave your views and insights in the comment area, so that we can feel the charm and power of football together.
