Chapter 59: No Front

The team's die-hard fans are "doing whatever it takes" to support their own team.

Even if the conditions are limited, conditions can be created.

At half-time, when the players from both sides returned to the pitch, on both sides of the tunnel the home fans made makeshift slogans.

"You're nothing but a penalty kick!"

It was undoubtedly ironic that Rossi did not have a shot on goal in the first half.

Whether this psychological warfare is useful or not, it will have some impact on the impatient Bournemouth players.

Rossi walked and watched, both sides of the passage were sarcastic words to himself, and there was a crazy fan, perhaps not so eye-catching cards, who directly took off his shirt, revealing his fat belly, and drew a circle on it.

Rossi couldn't understand why he was doing such a crazy move.

Now I understand that this is the passion that football brings, and it infects every fan.

However, such psychological warfare is useless for him.

"Take it easy, it's up to you for the second half."

Captain Cook patted Rossi on the shoulder, after all, he was only 20 years old, and he was easily affected by off-the-field factors.

Rosie nodded, her eyes filled with confidence, and she said with a smile, "I'll just watch the monkey." ”

The second half started with Norwich kick-off.

As in the first half, use possession to control the rhythm and be patient to find opportunities.

Bournemouth may have lost playmakers up front, but the back pair of O'Kane and Gosling remain solid.

Gosling has been on a hot streak of late and has become more and more confident in getting involved in attack, with a long-range shot in the first half, but it flew over the crossbar.

At the start of the second half, Josh Murphy deliberately moved around midfield as a way to limit Gosling's penetration.

Without an organizational core in the frontcourt, it is impossible to distribute defense through the 4-2-3-1 formation, and Eddie Howe, as the head of the "Young Zhuang School", will not be unaware of this truth.

However, he didn't make any personnel changes, and he didn't make the players change positions, so what the hell did he want to do?

Neil Adams put his hands in his trouser pockets and watched the situation on the field.

The team is clearly superior to their opponents and has no problem with their form, and after fifteen minutes of the second half, there should be a wave of fierce attacks.

Bournemouth, hum, it's time to cede the top spot.

In the 55th minute of the game, Norwich, who had been silent, suddenly attacked, and the core of the midfield, Hurakhan, made a successful steal in the midfield and hit the gap behind Gosling with a very penetrating pass.

This is also a huge hidden danger left behind Gosling after he stepped in.

[It's empty, Bournemouth are very dangerous, Josh Murphy is fast.] 】

[In the face of Daniels' defense, the feint passed, and the goal was in danger.] 】

The commentator was clearly agitated because centre-back Tim Cook was taken away by Graban. The full-backs are breached, which means that half of the defence is exposed.

Cook didn't expect the other party to break through so easily, so he could only give up his marking of Graban and instead target Josh.

The gap behind him was naturally covered by teammate Elfik.

Josh Murphy glanced up and sent the ball into the box with a long diagonal pass close to the ground.

Graban cut forward quickly, but was disturbed by Elfik and struggled to adjust his comfortable position.

He wants to use his body and resist the opponent before shooting.

Immediately put the weight of the body, lean on the left side, turn the body slightly, raise the right foot, and prepare to hit the door.

Elfik was squeezed behind him and couldn't get around the front and could have been scored if he had been shot by Graban.

Damn, eaten to death by this guy.

Elfik was not reconciled, unwilling to be defeated like this, and remembered Cook's words in his mind.

Don't hesitate.

The defender puts the shovel, which is to be calm and decisive, and procrastination can only delay the opportunity and give the ball away.

After making up his mind, when Bangra's right foot was about to touch the ball, Elfik fell to the ground and tackled.

Yes!

Graban felt knocked down by a huge force, and he didn't expect the opponent to dare to tackle the ball in the box.

Or the Elfik who doesn't like to tackle on the ground.

However, this is just the heart. He can go down and win a penalty.

When Graban fell to the ground, he covered his ankle with his right hand and slapped the turf with his left hand, looking pained.

However, the referee did not signal a penalty and raised his hand to get Graban to his feet.

Boo, the home fans use boos to express their dissatisfaction with the referee.

In fact, this goal, Elfik did tackle the ball first, and then touched Graban, which was a very clean tackle.

It's just that the incident happened in a restricted area, and both sides are very sensitive.

The goalkeeper took control of the ball and passed it to full-back Daniels, with Eddie Howe on the sidelines urging him to attack.

With Josh Murphy stepping forward, this time it was his turn to have a gap behind him.

Daniels scurried across the half, passed the ball to Gosling, and then cut in quickly along the touchline.

With Josh unable to get back in place, Bournemouth instantly developed an attacking advantage on the left flank.

Gosling distributed the ball to Daniels, who had cut in from left midfielder Stanislas to a quick run between the wing-backs and centre-backs.

Usually when the counter-attack starts, Norwich is denied enough on the right flank, with full-back Whitaker defending Daniels and right centre-back Russell Martin filling in his gaps.

Back Johnson recovers to protect the middle.

However, Norwich's centre-back Russell did not stand where he should have been, but left the penalty area and away from his own defensive area.

By the time he reacted, Stanislas had already whizzed past him.

Russell was taken aback and hurriedly chased back, trying to get the ball in place before it arrived.

As a result, he was back in place, but the ball was not given to the player who cut forward, but to Rossi in the middle.

How did he end up here?

Shouldn't Ryan Fraser be the only one in the area?

Everyone was taken aback, but even more surprised was the midfielder Johnson.

At the moment he has to face a 1-2 situation.

Rossi took the ball and turned comfortably and drove the ball forward.

When Rossi advanced with the ball, defender Johnson woke up in time, moved closer to Rossi, and motioned to right central defender Russell to step forward to make up for the defense.

Another centre-back, Michael Turner, marks Ryan Fraser, who is plugged in.

It was a timely remedy to compress space for Rossi to advance while limiting Bournemouth's most dangerous attacking lane.

But just as Michael Turner stepped out, Wilson stepped into the space behind him.

What a chance!

Rossi used a through ball to penetrate Norwich's defence and give it to Wilson, who was slanting in.

Left-back Javier Garrido couldn't pull Wilson at all.

Wilson gently collared the ball with his left foot to half a metre in front of him, and after standing firm with his left foot, his body adjusted slightly, and he pushed the far corner with the arch of his right foot.

Although goalkeeper Rudy fell to the ground to save the ball, Wilson's shot was too fast and the angle was too tricky, and he didn't touch the ball at all, so he could only watch the ball fly into the corner.

【GOAL!!!!! 】

[Beautiful coordination, Rowe's pass directly penetrated Norwich's entire defense and assisted Wilson to score.] 】

[Law's retreat allows Bournemouth to establish a numerical advantage in midfield.] The three attackers took the place of Luo as the center forward and participated in the attack. 】

[Wow, this switch is just too secondary, so that Bournemouth not only has a midfield organization when switching attack and defense, but also strengthens the offensive advantage of the forward line. 】

[This is Spalletti, who coached the Roma team back then, and created a 4-6-0 strikerless formation. 】
