Match Report |
With
the Young Lions eager to impress, England roarded into this friendly
with the amalgamation of pace and technique that has been the
hallmark of Sven's finest teams.
Alan Smith and Michael Owen
have known each other since their days at The FA National School at
Lilleshall and there were clear signs that this was a
reuninion that they both relished. Yet, despite England's initial
ascendancy, Baia was rarely troubled, with Nicky Butt's blocked
effort on 16 minutes being an islated effort on goal.
After a bright opening
period for the home side, it was Portugal who took the initiative as
the half progressed. Fleet of foot and imaginative in their play,
they took the game to England, allowing Figo, their jewel in the
crown, the licence to drift his sublime skills across the entire
width of the Villa Park pitch.
However, with players of the
vision of Figo, Rui Costa and Gerrard all out there, it was David
James who produced the ball of the day to set up England's goal on
39 minutes. His outstanding 45-yard throw found Emile Heskey in
significant space on the left.
The Liverpool man stride
forward before finding Owen, who changed the point of attack to find
debutant Lee Bowyer on the right. The Leeds midfielder looked up and
instintively found the run of his club-mate Smith, who opened his
England scoring account in emphatic style, diving to power home a
header at the near post.
Sven made several changes at
half-time and perhaps the team were still aquainting themselves with
the sight of David Dunn and Jonathan Woodgate patrolling their
stations in the heart of midfield and defence, when two early
corners saw the Portuguese rattle both bar and post.
England's young pretenders
may not know fear but they do exhibit considerable flair and it
was a shame that a wonderful 69th-minute move involving Wayne
Bridge, Dunn and Joe Cole did not result in what would have been a
picture goal for Heskey. His powerful finish may have arrowed
narrowly past the post but the move certainly hit the spot for the
Villa Park full-house that had turned out for a glimpse of this
new look England side.
Crowds all around the
country make no secret of their affection for Joe Cole and the
little magician nearly sneaked his first England goal with a
right-foot snapshot following more good work from Smith.
However, though the new
breed has much promise, they will also do well not to forget some
of the older values of the English game - namely defensive
organisation and strength at set-pieces. Both were marked by their
absence when, with 12 minutes remaining, Costinha rose
unchallenged at the far post to head home the vistors' equaliser
with a degree with aplomb. - The Football Association
Yearbook, 2003-04, p40.
