A strong body, an excellent header, a nimble turn, and a precise shot on goal are the evaluations given by the English media to the 26-year-old Graban.

Graban rose to fame at Rotherham United in League Two, making 43 appearances and scoring 18 goals in the 11/12 season.

The following year, he moved to Bournemouth, who were still in League One, and helped the team reach the Championship with 13 goals.

In his second season at Bournemouth, he was the team's top scorer with 22 goals.

Outstanding competitive form is the desire to win.

Graban, who has already proven himself in League One and the Championship, is hungry for a higher stage.

Norwich, who were relegated last season, became the place where he moved towards higher glory.

He believes the team will return to the Premier League once he joins.

Graban also proved with his own strength that the transfer fee of 3.7 million euros spent by the team was worth the money.

[Yo ho, Norwich took the lead and scored a goal at home. 】

[The scorer was Bournemouth veteran Graban.] He's settled into the team quickly and has scored five goals so far. 】

[Haha, the director also pointed the camera at Luo for the first time after Graban scored. This game is a battle between two shooters. 】

After the goal, Graban rushed to the west stand of the home team, clenched his fists, and accepted the praise of the fans.

It's his favourite way to celebrate, and it's not a demonstration and a provocation to his old boss, it's simply to enjoy the thrill of scoring a goal.

But the celebration after breaking the old owner's goal made the hearts of former teammates somewhat uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, it's my responsibility. He figured out all my weaknesses. ”

Elfik was full of shame, the two had been teammates, and Graban knew him all too well.

Although his interception ability is good, the tall Elfik is slow to play and is not flexible enough to turn, so when defending, he generally does not take the initiative to steal.

Graban took advantage of this, took the ball, turned around and finished the shot.

Cook tapped him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, the game has just begun." I'll help you defend, don't hesitate to grab it. ”

After taking the lead, Norwich continued to control the game and patiently looked for opportunities.

In the last round of the league, Bournemouth were able to complete the comeback after falling behind by three goals, which is enough to prove their strong mental strength.

Taking the initiative in the situation, maintaining a steady mentality, and making the backward Bournemouth team impatient, making mistakes, and then seeking a counterattack, is the way for the Norwich team to deal with it.

Last season, after the team's poor results and manager Hughton was sacked, Neal Adams, then the head coach of Norwich's Under-18s, was tasked with leading the team through the remaining five games.

After the hapless Neil Adam took charge of the team, the remaining five games were against Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

In the case that everyone is not optimistic, it is not surprising that the team only achieved one draw and four defeats and was relegated to the Championship.

Although he failed to lead the team to relegation, the club is sure of Neil's ability and hopes that he will bring the team back to the Premier League in the new season.

Norwich City are second in the standings with three wins and one draw in the first four rounds.

A win in this game would overtake Bournemouth and occupy the top spot.

Neil Adams, a former coach of the Under-18s, is very familiar with Norwich's style of play and is very comfortable to use.

The frontcourt has three attackers, comprehensive skills, and can enrich the offensive means.

He promoted youngster Josh Murphy from the Under-18s and formed a wing-to-flank with Raymond to constantly attack Bournemouth's ribs.

In the 20th minute of the game, Graban took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and under the cover of two central defenders, he crossed the ball.

Teenager Josh Murphy's follow-up shot from the perimeter deflected off the post and sent goalkeeper Kemp into a cold sweat.

In the 25th minute, Norwich City made a comeback. Left midfielder Raymond broke through on the flank, completed a one-two with striker Hulahan, and formed a shot after entering the penalty area, which was saved by goalkeeper Kemp.

During this time, Norwich's attack was very sharp, and he didn't know when he would kick it, making the Bournemouth team in front of the goal.

Eddie Howe has been reminding his players off the pitch to pay attention to their defense and keep the formation neat and layered.

With the absence of Ritchie and Harry Art, Bournemouth's playmaking and interception in midfield has deteriorated significantly.

Stanislas, Ryan Fraser and Wilson were all breakaway players who had to rely on long balls from midfielders Gosling and O'Kane, which didn't work very well.

In the first half, Bournemouth played hard, the attack was cut off by Norwich, and the players were all alone, or forced to take the ball, and could not threaten the goal at all.

In stoppage time, the director also made an offensive comparison chart.

With a shot ratio of 10:2 and a 5:0 ratio on target, Bournemouth were completely outstretched.

What's more interesting is that the director made a data comparison for the forwards of the two sides.

Graban, 3 shots, 2 on target, 1 dangerous pass.

Rossi, 0 shots on goal, 0 shots on target, 0 dangerous passes.

What's even more interesting is that Graban ran 3 kilometers in the first half, and the trajectory covered the front court, which was very positive.

Rossi, on the other hand, was only 1 kilometre away, and his trajectory was at the edge of the penalty area, and he didn't even return to half-time.

The huge discrepancy in the stats was directly reflected in the game, where Eddie Howe did not wait for the end of the first half and returned to the dressing room alone.

Although they only conceded one goal, Bournemouth can clearly know that the advantage of the game is in the hands of the opposition and it is only a matter of time before they score.

Possession in midfield is an issue that Eddie Howe has to solve, and without a playmaker in midfield, the team's attack cannot be unfolded.

Rossi's shots and running distances in the first half were the most direct expressions.

The ball can't pass to his feet, it's like an invisible man, of course there will be no shots, and there will be no running.

Harry Arte and Ritchie are out through injury, with only veteran Pugh in the squad.

However, he is slow to play the ball, which is suitable for positional battles, and is not suitable for this fast attacking system in the frontcourt.

Eddie Howe had a lot of tactics in his head, but they were all missing a point on the counter-attack and a quick shot.

Although O'Kane's passing is okay, he is from a back midfielder, so he puts the position on the premise, O'Kane, who has no other offensive means, is easily limited by the opponent, and the team's entire attack will be paralyzed.

It is obviously unrealistic for the back to change from the back to the front.

Hey?

Eddie Howe seemed to have something in mind, but couldn't grasp the key at once.

He quickly drew a map of the team's attack on the tactical board, then drew arrows in front of the three attackers, all pointing at center Rossi.

At the same time, the players' eyes were also focused on Rossi.

What does this mean?

Let's all pass the ball to Rossi and give him unlimited fire?

Will this work, will he be able to break through, or will he get rid of long-range shots?

Eddie Howe clasped his hands over his chest, staring intently at the tactical board, his mouth occasionally making a "hissing" sound, as if he was trying to think.

The players did not dare to disturb the manager's contemplation, so as not to be scolded bloody, so they could only sit and rest, or bow their heads and whisper.

There was a strange atmosphere in the dressing room.

Suddenly, Eddie Howe seemed to have figured out something, clapped his hands violently, turned to the player and said, "Listen up, I'll explain the second half tactics." ”

The players craned their necks and focused.

"In the second half, Luo, you're in charge of organizing."

Since the back can't be changed to the front midfield, then the center can become the front midfield, it's always okay.
