Chapter 372: Attack and Suppression
The dressing room was eerily quiet, except for the sound of the players panting, except for the sound of the players panting, only Kodic's voice: "We didn't play well enough in the first half, although we equalised in the end...... Okay, let's not talk about that, the first half is over, so let it pass, now the important thing is the second half. ”
'In the second half, we wanted to attack, they weren't in the right form just now, so in the second half we were definitely going to do it properly, not give us a chance, and then score with a quick counter-attack up front...... We can't let that happen! ”
'In the second half we have to play a little bit more aggressively, in attack, Alonso and Zappacosta you take turns to provide assists, the opponent is not so good defensively, it is better to draw their defenders out of the box and give them a blow!'
'In the second half we had to score a goal in 20 minutes! It's also possible that the opponent will want to take a point, so the closer to the end of the match, the more difficult the opponent will be! ”
"Alright, let's go! Remember, you only have twenty minutes! Watching the players leave the dressing room, Kodic sighed, he wanted to lose his temper, and there was no good reason, in fact, taking Bournemouth was not a big problem.
Jones stepped onto the pitch in silence, he was not satisfied with his performance in the first half, although he had a goal in the first half, but missed those chances to score, especially the coach did not say anything about his problems in the first half, which still made him blame himself.
"Jones, what do you want? It's the game, you have to focus on the pitch! ”
Suddenly, he was patted on the back, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Cahill's face, Cahill is the captain, so naturally he has to pay attention to the expressions of the various players
"Captain, I see, I will." Jones nodded.
"Come on, Jones, you need to break through the opponent's door in the second half!"
Jones also made up his mind that he had to score, and the second half of the game restarted, and his teammates could also see his changes from Jones's running, and in the first half, Jones was afraid of his own mistakes, so everything was tied.
Now that the mind is set, Chelsea are also under the leadership of Jones, began to attack Bournemouth's goal, in the second half Chelsea's tactic is to quickly pass through the midfield, not too many feet in the midfield, but through the pass on the wing, quickly close to the opponent's penalty area.
Jones received a pass from a teammate in front of the penalty area, Zappacosta on the right dribbled the ball, Jones stepped forward to cooperate with him, passed the ball to the bottom line, Zappacosta used his speed to override Gui Lewis Cook, and went directly to the bottom cross.
The ball went around Stanislas in front of the goal, Hazard and Pedro were both in the box to grab the spot, the ball had already bypassed Cook, and one of the two was able to score the ball with a single tap to help the team take the lead!
'Eden Hazard has a good chance!' Redknapp shouted excitedly.
The Chelsea fans in the stadium were also excited, and the Chelsea fans in the stands behind the goal had even stood up and raised their hands in celebration of the goal.
Hazard got ahead of Cook and slammed his header straight towards goal! With such a close distance, there is a chance that a goal will be scored, but Begovic in front of goal did not give Hazard a chance to equalise, he reacted very quickly, almost the moment the ball crossed the line, and hit the crossbar with a single punch.
"Alas......" The sound of cheers in the stands turned into a wave of regret of disappointment.
Hazard stood in the box with his head in his hands and shook his head, clearly frustrated that he had missed such a great opportunity.
"Beautiful! It was a world class save! The Bournemouth commentator shouted again, excitedly praising Begovic's save.
'Begovic has been playing well and his goalmouth reflexes are absolutely top-notch, especially in this game!'
Jones looked at Begovic, who was high-fived with his teammates to boost morale, and felt helpless in his heart, and the goalkeeper in a supernatural state couldn't do anything.
"Don't be in a daze, get ready to scramble for the header!" Hazard noticed that Jones was in a daze, and hurriedly walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Jones looked up, and sure enough, Perez and Alonso were all in the box, and it was Kante who was ready to take the corner kick in the corner area.
"That's right! That's it! Keep pressing them and we'll score goals if we keep playing like this! Ivan Kodic on the sidelines was also sorry for missing such a chance, but he knew the goal would come sooner or later.
In the next few minutes, they took advantage of the momentum of the home stadium to change the form after the opening and pressed Bournemouth in the half of the attack, and Bournemouth had no choice but to retreat and defend at this time.
As a result, although their midfield is good at possession, they do not have much advantage in defensive tackles, and Jones is more dangerous up front.
Under the leadership of Jones, Chelsea gradually played an offensive on the pitch, but Bournemouth's defensive strength was still very strong, and Chelsea could not fully dominate the field, so they could only quickly pass through the midfield and create scoring opportunities for the forwards who received in the middle from both sides.
Chelsea continued to attack Bournemouth's defence through crosses from both sides, while Bournemouth penetrated the ground and used possession to wear down the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players.
Although the team's scene has improved, Eddie Howe is still frowning on the sidelines, Chelsea is really difficult to deal with, he can't deal with the other side at all, even if he can limit Jones, but he can't stop Hazard and Kante, so although they are fierce, they can't stop Chelsea's attack.
Eddie Howe could only think about countermeasures on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do, and it was at this time that Jones got another good opportunity.
"Jones got a good chance! Will he be able to grasp it this time? The Chelsea commentator voiced out.
In the coach's bench on the sidelines, both coaches looked nervously at the penalty area, of course, the two had different moods.
Inside Stamford Bridge, tens of thousands of Chelsea fans held their breath as a blue patch of blue Chelsea fans stood up in the stands behind the Chelsea goal, nervously looking into the box.
"Jones, kick this ball in!"
There was a stir at the back of the goal, and Begovic also felt it, and immediately commanded: "Block him, don't let him shoot with his feet!"
However, in the penalty area, the Bournemouth double central defenders who were attracted to the box by Hazard and Pedro were too late to react at this time, only Francis, who turned a little faster, came out with a flying tackle, hoping to block Jones's shooting path with his body.
But how could Jones miss such an opportunity, he had already looked up at Begovic's position when Alonso's cross was crossed, and he already had a plan in mind.
Because there was plenty of preparation time, Jones opted for a more secure push, although it was a push shot, the speed was not slow, and the angle could be grasped better.
The ball went straight to the right side of the goal at a tricky angle, and Begovic's view was blocked by his team-mate, and he reacted when the ball left Jones' right foot.
His reaction was quick, but it was too late, and he could only watch the ball slip into the net.
