Chapter 42: Wearing a hat
3:0, this is the largest score difference in the first round of the current Championship.
The home fans can't help but worry, will the score continue to expand?
Because there are still 30 minutes left before the game.
Enough to create a first-round Championship tragedy.
Loss, sadness, all show on the faces of the home team's fans.
The players of the home team put their hands on their hips and hung their heads down.
Keith Bowe used up his last substitution, and defensive stalwart Coady came on.
At this point, it's impossible to win, but you have to score at home to save face.
Coady's arrival is to use his defensive coverage to liberate the attack of all midfielders.
It's all or nothing!
Huddersfield's attack picked up immediately when centre-forward Danny Ward's header bounced off the crossbar.
At one time, the home fans saw hope.
At this moment, Richie, who retreated to the defense, received the ball that was ejected from the crossbar at the front of the big penalty area, suddenly shot a cold arrow, and drove the ball to the opponent's half with a big foot.
The home team, which attacked aggressively, left only the newly introduced midfielder Coady and central defender Pertier at the back, and the corridors on both sides were unobstructed, giving Wilson a chance to sprint.
[Chance to counterattack, two to two in the front. Bournemouth's counterattack today gave the opponent a lot of trouble. γ
The commentator jumped up excitedly, and the piercing sound resounded over the court.
It also pierced the hearts of fans.
They can't be stimulated anymore.
Coady strides and settles quickly, he used to be a central defender, he has a good sense of marking and interception, and his bold tackle can often make the opponent hate on the spot.
At this point, Rossi started his coquettish run again.
He didn't cut forward to meet the ball behind him, nor did he move to the left to create space for Wilson to break through.
Instead, he moved sideways towards Wilson.
By moving in this way, he not only compressed Wilson's space to move, but also brought in the centre-backs who were defending him.
Then, Coady's defense becomes very simple, just need to block the breakout line on the wing.
Faced with Rossi's approach, Wilson did not accuse him of not pulling up space for himself, but quickly knocked the ball to Rossi sideways and suddenly started forward.
The moment Coady passed the ball, he thought Wilson would step forward, and without a moment's hesitation, he started almost at the same time as him.
Sure enough, when Rossi received the ball, he didn't stop for a moment and pushed a ball behind him with the arch of his foot.
At this time, what the two of them are fighting for is speed.
Coady wasn't fast, but he was in a good position on the inside and kept disrupting Wilson and affecting his dribbling tempo.
If the ball was 30 meters away from goal, Wilson would never have been able to break through the defense.
But the attack was launched from the midfield, more than 50 meters from the goal.
At such a distance, Cody's speed disadvantage was completely exposed.
I can only put the shovel.
Seeing that Wilson was about to take a position ahead of him, Coady flew to the tackle, bent his calf, and destroyed the opponent's center of gravity from the side.
However, Wilson, who was already in a state of excitement during the game, leaned forward slightly when his center of gravity was disturbed, and then stepped heavily on the turf with his legs to stop the inertia of diving forward.
After a few staggers, Wilson, with his balance and coordination, not only did not fall, but adjusted his body balance and continued to rush forward with the ball.
The home fans hugged their heads, and now no one could stop his attack.
Wilson faced the goalkeeper and fired a right-footed shot into the far corner, slotting the ball into the net before sprinting wildly along the touchline.
γGOALοΌοΌοΌοΌ Ride alone and run long distances. Wilson at the moment, like a motorcycle, overtaking is unreasonable. γ
[This is the fourth goal of the game and Wilson's second goal of the game.] γ
[Before the game, there were many media who also questioned the manager's use of personnel in the forward line. Now, the facts tell everyone that the two strikers who started were both braces. γ
[Bournemouth, menacing. γ
There was no cheering at home in an instant, and there were only private discussions, accusations and angry scolding from fans.
Head coach Keith Bowe's heart has fallen to the bottom.
In the second half of last season, due to the team's poor results, the club fired the head coach and temporarily replaced the assistant coach at the time, Bao Wei.
Although the relegation was successful, this summer, the club has not found a suitable candidate, and he has been in the role.
Trailing 4-0 at home in the first round, his position was in jeopardy.
Ha Zhen, who had no fighting spirit, made another mistake at the back in the 78th minute of the game.
Goalkeeper Smithis came out and knocked Harry Art to the ground in the box.
Ha Zhen is hit again, penalty!
The team's first penalty taker was Ricci, who should have taken the penalty.
Now, however, there is a strange phenomenon.
Rossi and Wilson both scored two goals, and it only takes one of them to score a hat-trick.
You know, it's not easy for a player to accomplish such a feat in a single season, and it's a first-round game.
A striker doesn't miss an opportunity like this.
Richie held the ball and looked at the manager.
Eddie Howe was still excited about getting a penalty, and winning by a big margin in the first round was a big morale boost.
When he saw Richie's eyes asking for help, he also had a hard time making a choice.
It's appropriate to give it to anyone, but how?
At this time, Rossi walked over and said in Wilson's ear: "This penalty, either you kick it or I kick it, it's better for us to guess the box." β
Wilson nodded and said, "Guess the box, just guess the box." Don't cry your nose if you lose. β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and under the noses of the 20,000 fans now, they guessed the penalty kick.
The shame caused a chorus of boos on the pitch, but more boos were for the home players.
It's not because of the team's poor performance, they can watch their opponents be so arrogant.
At this moment, the sound of the head coach leaving class rang out on the field.
Rossi guessed the win, patted Wilson on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, then took the ball from Richie's hand and stood twelve yards.
Shots on goal: 61, penalties: 63.
This is Rossi's stats so far.
Although Rossi scored twice in this game, the two goals only show that his movement, skill at his feet, and awareness of grabbing points are first-class.
As for the shooting technique, it is unknown.
But Eddie Howe is not worried, the penalty is the most important thing in the mentality.
Even if you have a high shooting skill, if your mentality is not stable enough, you will still be punished.
Rossi stepped on the turf with his right foot, made sure it was level, and then placed the ball on the penalty spot and took three steps back.
Goalkeeper Smiths, the goal guarded in this game was penetrated four times, but it was all caused by mistakes in the back line, and it has little to do with him.
He straightened his gloves as he looked into Rossi's eyes.
Generally speaking, when a newcomer takes a penalty, his eyes will subconsciously look at the angle of the shot.
This, of course, cannot be used as a direct criterion for judging.
Which side to pounce on is also determined by the position of the penalty taker when he shoots, his footing and his leg swing.
First of all, Rossi's position is behind the left side of the ball, at a slightly smaller angle to the ball.
Usually this way, the choice of shooting angle will be very small, the direction is the same as the touch foot, and it is very difficult to play the opposite angle.
And for a newcomer like Rossi, the choice of angle is not as stable as a powerful volley.
Two pieces of information have convinced the goalkeeper that Rossi will definitely volley hard to his right-hand side, and in the bottom right corner.
Drip!
As soon as the referee blew the whistle outside the penalty area, boos rang out in the stadium to interfere with Rossi.
Rossi's shoulders sank slightly, and she began to run.
He took two quick and powerful steps forward, as if using the run-up to build up his power.
The goalkeeper spreads his arms, adjusts his body in small steps, and pounces on the ball at any time.
After landing on her right foot in the second step, Rossi suddenly slowed down and took a small step forward with her left foot.
The sudden change in rhythm caught Smith by surprise.
That means that Rossi's shot is won by angle.
Smithis made an instant decision, with his legs slightly bent and his body squatting, so that he could first observe the angle of Rossi's right foot touching the ball, and then choose to pounce on that side.
It's rare for a goalkeeper to have such a reaction.
Smithis concluded that such a shot would not have a lot of power, and as long as it was judged in the right direction, it could definitely be saved.
This kid is so arrogant at such a young age.
Unless you have a strong mentality, you can easily be disturbed by the goalkeeper's defensive actions if you suddenly change the rhythm during the penalty.
I took the ball.
Smithis saw from Rossi's leg swing that he would choose the direction of his original shot, and the moment his foot touched the ball, he first jumped forward.
This small jump is a common tactic used by many goalkeepers. The most direct and effective thing is to expand the defensive area.
Although FIFA has a rule, before a player shoots, the goalkeeper's legs cannot leave the goal line and save in advance.
In reality, many goalkeepers will not comply.
Because of a small jump forward and then a sideways save, the whole has become a coherent action.
If you strictly follow the requirements and always keep the position unchanged in the longitudinal direction, it is a bit awkward for normal people.
Therefore, as long as the goalkeeper does not jump more than half a meter, the vast majority of referees will turn a blind eye.
And this jump can interfere with Rossi's mentality at the moment of shooting, and it can also take advantage of the momentum and pounce to the right.
Just as Rossi's right foot touched the ball, Smiths exerted a force with his left foot, shifting both power and weight to the right side of his body.
It was at this moment that Smiths's eyes changed from confidence to horror.
He could clearly see that Rossi was sticking the arch of his foot to the ball.
How can it be?
Instead of shooting to the right, the ball rolled at a gentle pace towards the bottom left corner of the goal, almost touching the inside of the post, and into the net.
Not only Smiths, but also the players on both sides, the coaches, and even the fans in the stadium felt that it was too unexpected.
And when he knew that he was deceived, the goalkeeper had already made a save, and he didn't have time to react, so he could only fall in front of the goal and watch the ball roll into the goal he was guarding.
After Rossi pushed, he followed the movement with his right foot, took a step forward, and then followed with his left foot, turned to the left, raised his arms high, and celebrated the goal.
All this, it seems that I have long known that this penalty will be scored.
γGAOLοΌοΌοΌ The ball is in! γ
[Luo was twelve yards away, not a trace of nervousness, but like a master, his mentality was very stable. γ
[The change in the rhythm of this ball seems to be so leisurely.] γ
[It makes people feel like shooting, and they never need to exert force. γ
[At this moment, I feel like I have drunk a glass of old wine, and I have already gone up, indulging in this penalty. γ
[Luo, complete the hat trick!] γ
