Chapter 41: This goal, it's too easy

In the locker room, Eddie Howe's tactical board, clean.

Today the team was very strict with his pre-match tactics and scored two goals, which was a big surprise.

The team only started to grind in the new formation, new tactics, new style of play, friendly opponents, except for Southampton, are all teams in the lower leagues, and the real effect cannot be detected.

Being able to lead fellow Championship side by two goals at half-time swept away Eddie Howe's previous doubts.

'Everyone played well in the first half and continued to be like that.

The win is something to be happy for the players, and it's the first round of the league, so it's a good start and good luck will stay with you throughout the season.

'In the second half, I just kept playing like that. The midfield has the ball, and the defense can be harder. ”

The last sentence was addressed to O'Kane.

Although he plays in the midfield position, in terms of destroying the ball, he does not have the domineering and aggressiveness of the traditional midfielder, but through prediction, interception of passes, and tackle is also very accurate.

If you really want to compare, it's a bit of Argentine midfielder Gago's style.

"In short, the first task in the second half is to continue to strengthen the control of the midfield, focus on defense, and wait for opportunities to counterattack, do you understand?"

"Got it!"

In the dressing room, the players were very excited.

At the beginning of the second half, Huddersfield continued the tactics of the second half of the first half, with two midfielders to make up for the gaps in the ribs and limit the opponent's attack on the wing.

Keith Bowe also considered a solid defense with a back four, but the team was already two goals behind in the first half, so removing the midfielder and replacing it with a defender was a sign of weakness.

Not to mention that he will be booed by the home fans, even he will be criticized by the media after the game.

Even if you die, you will die on the way to the charge.

After kick-off, the home side's two wing-backs, Hamill and Dixon, attacked Bournemouth's ribs.

The diamond-shaped midfield can give the team an advantage in attack.

But once it becomes a defense, you must rely on a compact formation to press high post.

The formation is concentrated on one side, so the defensive shortcomings of the single back are exposed.

Huddersfield only needed a long pass to move the ball to form a counter-attack on the weak flank.

However, Eddie Howe, who is a chess player, has already had a way to deal with it.

Players on both sides of the diamond midfield have good lateral interception ability.

When defending, try to get back to the full-back position as much as possible to assist the backline.

In this way, the four midfielders perform their own duties and give full play to their respective characteristics.

Another important factor is that the opponent's two wing-backs are not capable of going one-on-one.

If they can't attack, Bournemouth's defensive pressure will naturally be much less.

In the 58th minute of the game, the home team that could not open the situation made successive substitutions, and speed players Scannell and Lowe came on to strengthen the team's forward speed.

Coach Bao Wei's intention is very obvious, that is, he wants to use his speed to constantly put pressure on Bournemouth's goal and try to find a breakthrough.

However, Bournemouth, who were clearly stronger in midfield than their opponents, used possession to keep the ball firmly at their feet.

Central midfielder Harry Art, both offensive and defensive, and the midfielder is very smooth under his combing. And his precise passing also gives the team an advantage.

Just a minute later, Harry picked up the ball in midfield, glanced up at the right front, and used a pinpoint long ball to find Wilson on the wing.

At the moment, Huddersfield's defence is not panicking at all, because in front of Wilson, the midfielder Norwood is already in position.

And he greeted the left centre-back in advance and asked him to pay attention to the defense.

The moment Wilson stretched out his foot to unload the ball, he suddenly flicked the ball forward, and his calf jerked violently, accelerating to the right side.

Stopping and sudden, Norwood, who was waiting for him, gasped, hurriedly turned and chased back, and viciously put the shovel down, bringing down Wilson with the ball.

Drip!

The referee whistled for a stoppage and took out a yellow card from his chest pocket during the trot.

Norwood also honestly conceded punishment and pulled Wilson up.

With Wilson raging on the wing, Norwood had to use a tackle to warn him and let him rein in the rest of the game.

Bournemouth were awarded a set-piece on the right and it was converted by Rich.

In terms of defensive set-pieces, Huddersfield team, whose average height is more than 185cm, has full confidence.

In the Bournemouth team, apart from Rossi, only the defenders who are more than 180cm tall are left.

Captains Tim Cook, Elfik and Daniels came into the opposition box, with defenders O'Kane and Francis at the back, Pugh and Harry drawing in the box, Rossi standing near the penalty spot and Wilson at the back post.

Richie's set-piece was not high, and after getting past the defenders standing in front of him, he flew towards the goal.

At this time, in the big forbidden area, the two sides did not give up an inch of land, pulled each other, and were competing for air superiority.

But Lippi took a low ball and made their fight pointless.

With the heavy squad concentrated in the middle and at the back point, there was only the home team's striker Lloré at the front point.

All he had to do was jump up and gently push the ball out with his head to defuse the crisis.

But at this critical moment, a figure quickly cut in from behind, circled in front of Lorey, jumped high, and completely blocked his view.

This made Lore, who was about to take off, stunned and stood in place for a second.

When the figure landed, Lorey saw the number behind the person.

No. 7, Pew.

But Pugh didn't fight for the ball, and in order to make sure he got it before Lowe jumped, he rushed too fast and wasn't tall enough for the ball to go over his hair.

But his sudden up-and-down made all the players in the penalty area interfere and did not react for a while.

The ball just like that, landed in the middle of the goal.

Ooh!

The home fans exclaimed, this time the danger in front of the goal, their hearts were entangled.

But just as they were breathing, they saw a black whirlwind, at lightning speed, appear at the landing point of the ball.

The man stretched out his right foot and cushioned the ball into the goal.

After the goal, the man slowly swung his fist towards the baseline in celebration, and then knelt on the turf as he approached the corner flagpole, making two deep marks.

At this time, the fans behind the goal saw the appearance of the scorer clearly.

Number 14, Rossi.

He scored.

Brace.

The Bournemouth players also rushed towards him, following his kneel-sliding celebrations.

Once again, the lawn at John Smith Field has suffered.

Who would have thought that Bournemouth's third goal would be scored from set-pieces that they are not good at.

In the tall penalty area, Rossi ghostly appeared in the unguarded middle, raised his right foot slightly, and scored an empty goal.

Rosie opened her arms and roared in the sky.

It's a goal, it's too easy.
