Chapter 55: Never Give Up

After Stanislas scored, he didn't celebrate, and fished the ball out of the net.

However, the referee's whistle made Bournemouth's goal a little regretful.

In the midfield scramble just now, Richie's thigh muscles finally couldn't support it, and the convulsions were accompanied by muscle tears, making him fall to the ground.

Rossi hurriedly lifted his right leg up, keeping it straight, stretching the leg muscles and relieving the pain.

Eddie Howe hurriedly told Gosling to take off his vest and get ready to play.

The team scored two goals in a row, and Rich's role in both offensive and defensive sections was very obvious, and his active scrambling also allowed him to run out of energy in the 65th minute.

Gosling is a defensive midfielder who often plays an interception role.

But he has a long-range shot that can threaten the opposition goal.

After conceding two goals in a row, the Blackburn Rovers manager finally couldn't sit still and stood in the command area to let his players concentrate.

Although the tactics of all-offense and all-defense can make the team have a devastating offensive, the physical requirements for the players are also very huge.

Just hold it for ten minutes, no, five minutes, just five minutes.

Bournemouth simply didn't have the stamina to hold up the whole game, as long as they broke their breath, it was a counter-attacking opportunity.

The game continued, and the Bournemouth team's high fight continued.

Gosling, who had just come on the pitch, was full of energy, allowing him to guard the midfield, constantly running sideways, expanding the defensive coverage and freeing up O'Kane's attack.

Gosling was now a sapper, taking all the dirty work on his shoulders.

Three minutes,

Five minutes

They're still pressing high.

The Bournemouth players seemed to have no end in their stamina, and with only the ball in their eyes, they ran towards it like crazy.

Even Rossi, who has always rarely participated in defense, is running without sparing.

The high press continued for another three minutes, and in a scramble, without a fierce confrontation, Stanislas fell to the ground.

Like Richie, leg cramps.

The referee stopped the game and signaled for the team doctor to come on, and the Bournemouth players took advantage of the substitution to replenish their fluids.

Rosie poured water over her head and ran her hair back with her hands to keep herself calm.

It's been 70 minutes since the game, everyone's fitness has reached the zero limit, and if you play like this, you won't be able to finish the game at all.

Eddie Howe is also in a dilemma right now.

There are still 20 minutes left in the game, and if you don't keep pressing, once you give the opponent a boost, you will be unlucky.

But if you still fight like this, you can't guarantee a goal, and the players will cramp one after another due to physical exhaustion, and the team will face a passive situation of playing more with less.

What to do?

At this time, the team doctor was walking to the sidelines with a cramped Stanislas.

He must decide who to make the last substitution before the player comes off the pitch.

"Now we are very tired, but the other party wants to breathe more than us, so we must not relax at this time, grit our teeth and hold on."

Rossi's words of encouragement for his teammates exploded in his mind.

Yes, I am the head of the "Young Zhuang faction", and I will not give up until the last moment.

Now that the score is behind, how can I have the idea of taking a break.

Eddie Howe slapped himself hard in the face and ranted at the bench.

"Ryan, it's your turn."

Ryan Fraser, 20, plays as a wing-back, is fast, well-coordinated, and can deliver quality crosses at high speeds.

He is short in stature, but he also has good ball control skills.

That's not the point, the point is that he's young, he's got a lot of energy and he can breathe energy into the team.

Blackburn, who was stunned, also made substitution adjustments.

On the right midfield, Dunn replaces Marshall.

Up front, Rhodes, who scored the goal, was removed and replaced by Joshua King.

It's all alignment, and the manager doesn't plan to defend yet, because anyone can tell that the Bournemouth players have the stamina to last up to ten minutes.

Replace these two attackers, it is necessary to maintain the speed of the counterattack.

Bournemouth's Harry and O'Kane, who were also close to being fit, Eddie Hower simply added O'Kane to the attacking group up front, leaving Gosling alone to defend.

The formation changed to 4-1-4-1.

[Bournemouth has decided to break the boat, Eddie Howe is worthy of being an iron-fisted coach, 70 minutes have passed the game, and they continue to put pressure on their opponents, is their physical strength unlimited?] 】

[As we all know, the 75th minute is the easiest time to score, to see if the home team Rangers can withstand the attack of Bournemouth.] 】

The commentators were also infected by Bournemouth's hard work, and from the pitch, the visitors were in a better situation.

Can Blackburn, who blindly seeks stability, really be able to withstand the opponent's crazy attack?

Bournemouth's change of formation saw their pressing up front tighter, pushing Blackburn's parallel midfield almost close to the back line.

[There is such an imposing sense of oppression, and the fighting spirit brought by the Bournemouth players is the source of their abundant physical energy. 】

[Here, I have to say that if Blackburn still wants to play a counter-attack, then it is not far from conceding a goal.] 】

As the commentator mentioned, with a high press like the visitors, and only a midfielder behind them, it was easy for the home team to get a chance to counter-attack with a straight ball.

At this time, scoring a goal basically seals the victory.

However, Blackburn seems to be waiting, waiting for the opponent to run out of energy.

In the 75th minute of the game, the Bournemouth team's high pressing caused the opponent's passing error.

It was the midfielder Corey Evans who made a mistake in the pass.

It's already very dangerous to concede a goal, it's still a defensive midfielder who concedes a goal.

This means that as long as the opponent passes the ball, Bournemouth's center forward Rossi is facing the central defender directly.

At this time, you must fight back.

Corey Evans, who already has a yellow card, was sent off for another foul that turned two yellows into one red.

However, having lost his way to block the ball, he had to take the risk of tackling the ball.

Harry has been fighting for 75 minutes and has no extra energy to dribble the ball, which will slow down the team's speed.

Pass!

The moment he passed the ball, his footing was swept away by a force from behind.

Yes!!!

Harry lay on the turf, clutching his ankles in pain.

The referee did not stop the game, but stretched his arms straight forward.

Offense advantageous!

Because of the ball, it fell at the feet of Rossi.

Blackburn's defense broke out in a cold sweat.

In today's game, it was this Rossi who repeatedly created killing opportunities in this position.

He must not be allowed to pass the ball.

Blackburn's two centre-backs pounced on Rossi with determination.

Rossi saw the fallen teammates, this opportunity was created by everyone desperately, and he must go in.

But it's impossible for him to get past two centre-backs, that's unrealistic.

[Luo didn't have a chance to break through, and he didn't have a teammate to answer, so he could only go back. 】

When the narrator saw this scene, he also felt a little pity.

Rossi took the ball and retreated a few steps, the two central defenders did not give up, and continued to chase after it, and at the same time, the midfielders also returned to the defense to form a three-fold clamp for Rossi.

[This ball is going to be lost, there are no teammates around Luo to answer, it's a pity. ] 】

But as soon as the words fell, a figure plugged in at high speed from the left and went straight into the hinterland.

And Rossi seemed to have known for a long time, and with a gentle push of the arch of his foot, he sent the ball out.

[Beautiful, Luo sent the most exciting through ball of the game, and the player who stepped forward was the young player Fraser who had just come on the field. 】

[Blackburn's defenders, their attention is on Law, completely ignoring his presence.] 】

[Fraser formed a single knife, the defender couldn't catch up, entered the penalty area, and hit the goal!! 】

[The ball is in, the ball is in!] Bournemouth worked a miracle as they equalised. 】
