シャドーイング練習: How should the Socceroos line up against Paraguay? | FIFA World Cup 2026™ - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

I know you're having the debates at home about exactly who Tony Popovich should start.

There was a pretty massive debate in the green room a little earlier today, so let's share it, shall we?

You're the neutral amongst us, if you like, Tommy Sorensen, Australian passport in all these days.

Are you starting Nesta Irincunda and Conor Metcalfe?

I think like a lot of people, I was a little bit frustrated with the way the Socaroos started against America.

You know, I want my teams to come out into the middle of the ring and throw some haymakers and, you know, be positive.

I'm a glass half full kind of guy.

And I think you're there to make an impression.

We see Cap Verde.

We see teams that are actually on the front foot who believe get the results.

And I think when you set yourself up defensively and with that mindset, I think you put yourself on the back foot.

And I would love in this game where everything is on the line, come out, you know, give it all.

And Irwin Kunda is the next factor.

I 100% agree.

I think that a lot of the frustration after the US game wasn't about only the result.

It was that I have the feeling that we didn't have a crack at the game.

I feel like we didn't give ourselves a chance to get a result in the game the way we set up.

I want to see Toure, Irancunda, Metcalf, Volpado on the field at the same time.

Is that realistic?

I'm not sure.

But I think that if we do that, we saw Paraguay in the first game against the US.

The US's movement, their positivity, it was too hot to handle for Paraguay.

And I think that we need to heed the lesson, not play defensively and passively like Turkey did against Paraguay, but do what the US did.

So put our good attacking players on.

Is there another perspective here, Harry?

What's the coach's perspective on this one?

It's interesting because a lot of people have their opinions.

And the one thing that you have to respect is the manager's decision.

And I understand.

I understand everyone is raved about the unbelievable result we had against Akiya and the incredible goals that we scored.

But if I'm putting all my coach's head on at the moment and I'm looking at, OK, what else happened in that game?

We did a lot of defensive work.

And when we need certain players to step up and maybe control the game, were they there?

Now my problem is with this decision that everyone's talking about.

Now I believe Metcalf should start because I thought he was excellent in Turkey

and he done exceptionally well when he came on.

But there must be something with Aaron Kunda because the talent that he has and if Popovich is always thinking,

do I start him?

Do I not start him?

Now, again, I understand that you want to go out there

and you want to throw all your eggs in one basket and go and attack football.

And I'm the first person to attack every single game.

But my question is, why is it always something that we're questioning with Popovich when he sees him day in, day out.

There must be something there that is stopping him from actually starting or just going, hey, you're my guy, go out there and do it.

So that's what I'm getting to find out.

One of the things I love about watching Nesta Irincunda is the unpredictability to everything that he does.

There are moments there where I reckon even he doesn't know what he's going to do next.

Is that the kind of player that Tony Popovich looks to?

Because he strikes me as the kind of manager who likes predictability.

Yeah, and it seems like that.

But there is always a trade-off.

Like you're a manager, you know it.

You know, you can't have everything.

And for me, maybe I just weigh that X factor because in this day and age, that's what's going to decide games.

We've seen Turkey, we've seen Equitable, we've seen players, like with good players, but you know, 80 shots at target,

but can't get it over the line and I think you've got a player

that out of nothing can create something and and for me

that value is higher than the disciplined player that runs back

and tracks back and you know is always in the right position

and you know yeah yeah but that's Popovich's style he's defensive first he works

and he wants to see his team being solid first

and foremost and if we can get these options going forward

and like I said he's a great person to have these options

but he needs to be able to be solid first

and you need to work off the ball in this day

and age football you have to come on Tommy back me

up I think having these attacking players on the pitch it's a misconception

that you're losing defensive stability by having these offensive players on the field

because the more time you can spend in the front third

dictating the game the less defending you're going to have to

do we saw against the US you're defending for 45 minutes feels like it's only a a strata of time before, a moment of brilliance, a mistake.

They're going to get through.

Where does it leave you?

You've got, you know, 10 defensive-minded players on the pitch.

I think that that balance with the back five, you spoke about it's a compromise, Tommy.

With the back five, it allows you the luxury of having these unpredictable players in the front third, like Irán Kounda, like Toure, and I just think we're more of a threat when they're on.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
