Calm & composed England have finally learned how to be see out big games

England have reached an international tournament final for the first time in 55 years after beating Denmark in their Euro 2020 semi-final at Wembley on Wednesday night. But the Three Lions have had to change and develop considerably over the years to even make such a feat possible.England had the mental strength to come back from a goal down after Mikkel Damsgaard gave the Danes the lead from a free-kick. They had already survived a period of sustained Danish pressure before that, but quickly fired back to get themselves level.But what was most impressive about England is the way they calmly controlled the game and managed to fairly comfortably see it out after taking what proved to be a decisive lead in extra-time. This was something that past England sides, particularly the ‘golden generation’ of the 2000s, never seemed able to do and they always fell short because of it.Opta stats highlight that England kept the ball for two minutes and 41 seconds at the end of the game, exhausting Denmark and preventing any late counterattacks to force a penalty shootout.Fully in control, Gareth Southgate’s team systematically moved the ball across the width of the pitch to rack up 54 uninterrupted passes to shut the game down and keep hold of their crucial lead.2:41 of keeping the ball by @England at the end of the semi-final versus Denmark. ?54 uninterrupted passes. Olé! #Euro2020 #ENG pic.twitter.com/S3Ufpc0rxT— The Analyst (@OptaAnalyst) July 8, 2021Against Germany in the last 16 previously, England had taken the lead, weathered a potential German storm, and even clinically extended their advantage to make the final stages comfortable.Think how that compares to years gone by, when England were often good enough to take the lead but lacked the tactical knowhow or composure to hold on. Opponents would typically be afforded the chance to build and build the pressure until the Three Lions could hold out no longer.England were knocked out in the group stage at Euro 2000, but it could have been so different had they not squandered a 2-0 lead against Portugal in their opening game and a 2-1 advantage against Romania in their decisive final game, losing 3-2 on both occasions.At the World Cup in 2002, England took the lead against Brazil in the quarter-final, only to wilt and let their opponents dominate the game and turn it around. Even when Ronaldinho was sent off and Brazil were forced to play half an hour with ten players, too many England players underperformed.

England have been knocked out of tournaments in the past because they couldn't hold on to leads / Tim de Waele/Getty ImagesTwo years later at Euro 2004, England scored early to lead against Portugal in the quarter-final there. Wayne Rooney’s first-half injury knocked the wind out of their sails, but they lacked the ability to hold onto the lead and see it through. A late equaliser from Helder Postiga forced extra-time, while England then went behind and had to find their own late equaliser just to force penalties.Even as recently as 2018, a squad which the current side has directly evolved from, England couldn’t hold on to a lead and get over the line when it really mattered after Kieran Trippier’s free-kick against Croatia had given them an incredible chance of reaching the World Cup final.Learning from those mistakes and developing things like tactical control and composure in pressured situations is something that England appear to have finally achieved. Now, there will be one last opportunity to put those skills to the test against Italy in the final on Sunday.For more from Jamie Spencer, follow him on Twitter and Facebook! Read the full article

Two cerebral coaches meet at the Emirates, shaky Spurs head to Vicarage Road and can United really end Liverpool’s unbeaten season? Gedson Fernandes started only three league games in 2019 – and was substituted at half-time in one of those – and though he is richly talented there is no guarantee he will enjoy more success at Spurs than his largely underwhelming compatriots Ricardo Rocha, Pedro Mendes (he of the disallowed goal from the halfway line at Old Trafford), Helder Postiga and José Dominguez, the entertaining if only occasionally effective winger who was a light in the darkness of the Gerry Francis-Christian Gross era. Fernandes’ fitness levels are unknown but there are easier debuts than against an in-form Watford side that have discovered their collective mettle. The former Tottenham midfielder Étienne Capoue is providing many of the qualities José Mourinho could use from the base of midfield. In their next four league games, Spurs play three of the current bottom four in Watford, Norwich and Aston Villa, an excellent opportunity to address the rocky form that has meant they won one and lost three of their last five league matches. But on current form, and with Harry Kane injured, there seems little to choose between these sides.

¿Cuánto le costó al Manchester United comprar a Cristiano Ronaldo de Sporting? Acuerdo de transferencia explicado

Goal echa un vistazo al movimiento que comenzó la ascensión de un adolescente portugués a la cima del fútbol mundial Cristiano Ronaldo es sin duda uno de los mejores futbolistas de todos los tiempos y no es de extrañar que jugadores como el Real Madrid y la Juventus estuvieran dispuestos a pagar astronómicamente tarifas de transferencia por sus servicios. Los gigantes españoles Real obtuvieron lo que era un récord mundial de € 94 millones (£ 80m / $ 96m) para premiar a la estrella de Portugal lejos del Manchester United en 2009. Juventus, mientras tanto, estaba feliz de pagar € 100 millones (£ 88m / $ 117 m) por sus servicios casi 10 años después en 2018, a pesar del hecho de que se dirigía hacia los treinta y tantos años, generalmente el principio del fin para cualquier futbolista. Esos honorarios reflejan la icónica superestrella ganadora del Balón de Oro que se convirtió primero en Old Trafford y luego en el Real Madrid, pero ¿cuánto costó la primera vez que se mudó a la Premier League? ¿Cuánto le pagó Man United a Sporting por Ronaldo? Manchester United pagó £ 12 millones ($ 19 millones) por Cristiano Ronaldo en agosto de 2003, cuando tenía solo 18 años. La tarifa, aunque aparentemente insignificante en comparación con las sumas de hoy, lo convirtió en el El futbolista adolescente más caro del fútbol inglés en ese momento. En comparación, Chelsea firmó con Joe Cole, de 21 años, del West Ham por poco menos de 7 millones de libras el mismo verano, mientras que Tottenham pagó poco más de 8 millones de libras por el joven ganador de la Copa de la UEFA, Helder Postiga. De hecho, la tarifa pagada por Ronaldo fue similar en escala a la que Chelsea pagó a los Red Devils por el mucho más establecido Juan Sebastián Verón, £ 15 millones, solo una semana antes. Para ponerlo en un contexto más amplio, el verano siguiente, el Manchester United pagó a Everton más del doble de lo que pagaron por Ronaldo para fichar a Wayne Rooney (£ 30 millones).

¿Cómo sucedió la transferencia de Ronaldo a Man Utd? La historia cuenta que el Manchester United contrató a Ronaldo de Sporting después de atormentar a John O'Shea en un amistoso de pretemporada entre los clubes en Portugal durante el verano de 2003. "Siempre bromeamos con 'Sheasy' de que había cerrado el trato jugando como un payaso maldito contra él", bromeó Roy Keane en su autobiografía The Second Half. Sin embargo, no es estrictamente cierto que Ronaldo haya sido firmado solo por esa actuación, ya que las negociaciones con el club portugués habían estado ocurriendo durante varios meses con respecto a una posible transferencia. Sin embargo, no dolió y parece haber acelerado el proceso, fortaleciendo la resolución de Sir Alex Ferguson para lograr el acuerdo, particularmente después de haber perdido en la búsqueda de Ronaldinho. "Después de que jugamos al Sporting la semana pasada, los muchachos en el camerino hablaron de él constantemente", reveló Ferguson al sitio web oficial del Manchester United después de que concluyó la transferencia. "Y en el avión de regreso del juego me instaron a firmarlo. Así de alto lo calificaron. Es uno de los jugadores jóvenes más emocionantes que he visto". ¿Podría Ronaldo haberse unido a un club diferente? Es cierto que Ronaldo bien podría haber terminado en un club de la Premier League diferente al Manchester United en 2003 y podría no haber ido a Inglaterra en absoluto. Manchester United tuvo que pagar lo que hicieron por Ronaldo para defenderse de los intereses de una gran cantidad de clubes, incluidos Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid e Inter. De hecho, estuvo muy cerca de fichar por el archirrival del United, el Arsenal, después de haberse reunido con Arsene Wenger en una visita al norte de Londres. Mirando hacia atrás en el momento de las puertas correderas en una entrevista de 2019 con Piers Morgan en ITV, Ronaldo explicó que estaba "a un paso" de unirse a los Gunners.

“Quiero disculparme. Perdóname por no unirme al Arsenal ", dijo Ronaldo a Morgan." No sucedió, pero Arsenal, aprecio lo que hicieron por mí, especialmente Arsene Wenger, pero el fútbol nunca sabes dónde vas a jugar, la vida es como ese." Wenger reveló que uno de sus mayores arrepentimientos como gerente no fue lograr que el acuerdo de Ronaldo se supere, aunque reconoció que su oferta de £ 4.5 millones no podría competir con lo que United ofreció. "Se podía imaginar en ese momento cómo habría sido tener a Thierry Henry y Ronaldo juntos", reflexionó Wenger en una entrevista con el sitio web oficial de los Gunners. "Eso ciertamente habría cambiado un poco la historia de mi estadía aquí como bien."

Complete disaster: £6.25m Hoddle signing quickly turned into a Levy nightmare at Spurs - opinion

Signed from then UEFA Cup winners Porto in a £6.25m deal back in the summer of 2003, Helder Postiga certainly arrived in north London with a burgeoning reputation in European football.

The Portuguese marksman was only 20 at the time, and had just come off the back of a campaign that had seen him score 19 goals across all competitions, and helped fire his team to European glory.

Speaking after the confirmation of his signing, then Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle waxed lyrical about his latest recruit. He said: “He is a player who will add definite striking quality to our squad and is a young player of proven ability. I’m sure our supporters will enjoy watching him over the coming seasons.”

The Greatest Bargains in Premier League history – How much did they cost?

World Class score: 95% | Expert score: 80% | Veteran score: 65% | Intermediate score: 45% | Amateur score: 30% | Try Again: 5%

Even Daniel Levy got in on the act of talking up what it meant to the club, and backed Postiga to deliver for the Lilywhites over the coming seasons. He added: “This exciting signing demonstrates our commitment to increasing the strength and quality of our playing squad and will hopefully assist us in our quest for success next season and beyond.”

But in the end, Postiga’s signing quickly turned into a nightmare for Levy and co. He made just 23 appearances in total for the north Londoners, scoring a measly two goals – only one of them even came in the Premier League.

In fact, just over a year later, Spurs had seemingly had enough, and decided to simply cut their losses on the striker, and send him packing. His former side Porto came back in for him for just £5m, meaning the north London side took a loss on him.

Following the decision to sell him, Spurs sporting director Frank Arnesen admitted that perhaps the club had made a mistake in bringing him to English football in the first place. He said: “There is no doubting Helder’s ability but maybe he came to the Premiership too soon. He was keen to return home and, although we rate him highly here, we did not like to see him unhappy.”

After no doubt thinking they had signed a young striker who could lead their line for the years to come, Spurs were left to tuck their tail in between their legs and wave goodbye to one of their biggest flops in recent memory.

Meanwhile, Alasdair Gold offers a Spurs transfer update.

Tirsdagens spil var blevet noget formalistisk, da Portugal sad tre point bag Rusland, der optog et gruppevinder på fjerdeplaceret Aserbajdsjan efter en skuffende 1-1 træk til Israel på fredag.

Efter at have forvaltet at holde Portugal ude i næsten en halv time, blev gæsternes opgave næsten umuliggjort af Aurelien Joachims røde kort, med Silvestre Varela og Nani, der ramte en hurtigfyret dobbelt for at flytte Portugal fremad.
