Chapter 51: The Thorny Rose

"Luo!!"

"Luo!!"

"Luo!!"

"West...... Gauze!!! ”

The home fans, chanting Rossi's name neatly and rhythmically, won their hearts with two goals that saved the team.

Rosie, who fell to the ground, was inevitably rushed by his teammates, and a "big man" came.

And Eddie Howe, who was on the sidelines, shook his fist excitedly, threw a punch, roared, and fired five shots in a row, and the last time, the roar lasted for five seconds.

The game was too exciting, too exciting, just now their own goal was narrowly broken first, but in just over ten seconds, the team completed a counterattack and shot with a very creative heel to overtake the score.

This is a fairy ball, and mortals can't stop it.

Nottingham Forest kicked off again, and judging by the movements of the players, they have lost their fighting spirit.

There was still a lot of time left in the game, enough to equalise, but Rossi's goal just now had too much impact on morale.

Or after he missed the opportunity, the opponent seized the opportunity and scored the goal.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army and change the situation, head coach Pierce hurriedly made the last substitution adjustment, removing defensive midfielder Cohen and replacing him with a striker.

This is a signal to break the kettle, abandon the midfield defense and strengthen the attacking ability in the frontcourt.

Bournemouth's midfielder O'Kane was also showing signs of fatigue, with Eddie Howe replacing him with Gosling.

Despite the investment of more troops, Nottingham Forest's control in midfield has dropped significantly.

The veteran Reid is gradually showing fatigue, and it is difficult to organize the attack under high pressure. The other players can only use their speed to force a breakthrough.

Bournemouth's diamond-shaped midfielder likes to play alone with his opponents, and once he controls the ball, he guides his feet patiently, wears down the opponent's fighting spirit, and is not in a hurry to counterattack.

With 80 minutes into the game, Nottingham Forest, who had not shot for a long time, had lost confidence, and fatigue quickly took over their brains, making their legs heavier and heavier.

Seeing this, Pierce was powerless to turn around, turned around and slammed the water bottle in his hand to the ground.

If Fereat's header had gone in, it would have been a different story.

Pierce was silent for more than ten minutes, and after the referee blew the final whistle, he briefly shook hands with Eddie Howe and returned to the locker room at the speed of the wind.

Three consecutive league wins have put Bournemouth firmly at the top of the table, while Rossi is also the top scorer with six league goals.

Leicester City, manager's office.

Pearson is studying the match against Chelsea in three days' time.

The team's draw at home to Everton in the first round was a good sign for new signing Ulloa and youngster Chris Wood.

However, Jamie Vardy's injury is the reason why he has been frowning.

It's always hurt like this, and it's not a solution.

Injuries are the biggest obstacle to players, and although Vardy is well-rounded, once injured, he has to rest for a long time.

Thankfully, Ulloa was able to fit seamlessly into the team's tactics and was an indispensable force away from home to Chelsea.

Also, can the team's defense withstand the onslaught of Diego Costa, Hazard, and Oscar?

Thinking of this, Pearson had a big head, found James' name from the starting list of the game, and crossed it out.

In the first round, James' right-back was pierced by the opponent many times, and if he hadn't been replaced early, the team might not even be able to get a draw.

Although James is his son and has played in the English academy, his performances in the game do not seem to be able to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

Poor positional sense, lack of concentration, and mediocre insertion of attacks, this is what the media said about him after the game.

At this point, Craig walked in in and said, "Nigel, Rowe has scored again in the Championship." He put the newspaper in front of Pearson's desk, no doubt rubbing salt in his heart.

Although the loan of Rossi was a helpless move under pressure from the marketing department, he did not manage to retain it.

Because he won't intercede for a player who violates discipline.

However, on the night of Rossi's departure, Mahrez and Conokette, who also played in the U21s, rushed to intercede as soon as they heard the news of Rossi's punishment.

They were even a little surprised that just a skirmish within the team should be punished so severely.

Pearson, who was angry at the time, also calmly recalled what happened at that time and felt a little strange.

Hopper and Adam Smith don't seem to have much in common with Rossi, why would they deliberately foul Rossi in team training.

He couldn't think of any reason for it, and he had to prepare for a pre-season friendlie, so he put it behind him.

However, Rossi's performance in the Championship, he was also very happy in his heart, but his son was beaten into a sieve in the Premier League, which made him regret it a little.

James should be loaned to other teams, like Rossi.

So, when Craig told him about Rosie, there was a hint of jealousy in his heart.

"Well, that's good, let's get him used to it first." Pearson said lightly.

Korek seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said no more, saying: "It's going to be a tough game against Chelsea. Here's what I've collected from the competition. ”

Pearson smiled and said, "With you, I don't have to worry a lot." He lit a cigarette and said, "The season has only just started, and we haven't lost yet." ”

Two games a week is the norm in the Championship.

The reason is that there are a total of 24 teams in the Championship, as well as promotion play-offs, and there are many competitions in themselves.

Then there's the business perspective.

The ratings of the Championship are not as good as the Premier League, so there can be more attention to the midweek games.

In order to keep the team running, the Championship side has rotated with Rossi on the bench for the weekend league.

Despite his impressive performances, we have to consider the physical demands of this long season.

The opponent is Championship powerhouse Blackburn Rovers.

They finished eighth in the table last season, just three points shy of qualifying for the promotion play-offs.

Eddie Howe didn't dare to be careless due to the away game, with Wilson and Como Gant partnering up front.

The diamond-shaped midfielder is Harry Arte up front, flanked by Stanislas and Richie, and O'Kane at the back.

At the back, it's still Daniels, Cook, Elfik and Adam Smith.

Blackburn Rovers are strong because they have a lot of players with outstanding individual ability, and they can create scoring opportunities through their individual ability.

Suddenly, the ball was passed to the back, and it was also a sharp weapon for them to attack the city.

After the start of the game, they were not in a hurry to attack, but used short passes, controlled the ball in their own half, and gradually attracted the Bournemouth formation to press.

When the opponent gradually pressed, the large gap behind him was the opportunity for Blackburn Rovers to counter-attack.

In the 13th minute, Blackburn Rovers took advantage of a counter-attacking opportunity to pass the ball to goal, and in a moment of confusion, striker Rhodes seized the opportunity to take the lead.

In the 21st minute, it was the Blackburn Rovers counterattack again, midfielder Kearney sent a through ball in the midfield, hit the feet of his teammates on the wing, and then crossed, and the high-speed insertion of the central defender Grant Hanlily Cook, header on the goal, 2:0.

It wasn't over yet, three minutes later, the stunned Bournemouth team was once again broken down the wing.

Left midfielder Conway sent in a low cross, and Gastead, who was outflanked in the middle, followed up with a volley to extend the score to 3-0.

In less than half an hour, the Bournemouth team was already three goals behind, the players' heads were blank, the cheers of the home team's fans were in their ears, and every hair on their bodies was weighed down like a thousand pounds, and the manager's orders on the sidelines were also ignored.

The Bournemouth players didn't know how they managed to survive the 20 minutes, and the whistle blew at the end of half-time, which freed him from the sea of misery.

Eddie Howe also entered the dressing room early, and he faced more than just a tactical problem with the team.
