Saturday's opponents in the league are Rotherham.

The team was only promoted from League One in the new season.

In the first five rounds of the league, they achieved a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

The media agreed they could not afford to cause Bournemouth problems.

But Eddie Howe doesn't think so, this team not only won the promotion last season, but also won the British Championship, and the strength should not be underestimated.

Before the game, there were also reports of Rossi's rambling training, and with this game, Rossi was put on the bench, adding a few more credibility points to the report.

In the first half, the Bournemouth team, which was playing at home, launched a fierce attack, and the possession brought by the diamond-shaped midfielder made the visiting Rotherham be pressed and beaten for a while.

But despite this, the stubborn defense of the Rotherham United team, who were playing away, withstood the attack of the Bournemouth team.

Towards the end of the first half, Rotherham also organised an attack on the right flank, causing a dangerous situation in front of goal.

[The lack of points in the first half was a problem that Bournemouth had to solve at half-time. 】

[Will Rowe come off the bench in the second half?] 】

[It is said that Luo was put on the bench for his casual performance in the team's training match, is it true that he was punished by the head coach as the media said. 】

[However, in my opinion, the Bournemouth team without Rowe is lacking in counter-attacking speed. Comogante is an attacking player, and he is good at headers and bridgeheads, but he still has to rely on Ronaldo to counterattack. 】

At the start of the second half, Bournemouth still maintained possession, and compared to the first half, they were more solid in attack and tried to be efficient.

Harry Arter and Richie, who have returned from injury, have become the team's playmakers and metronomes, constantly seeking opportunities from the middle.

Rotherham's 4-4-1-1 line-up was to concede possession and use a flat midfield line to limit Bournemouth's wide attack.

In such a situation, Bournemouth can only threaten the goal with long balls or long-range shots.

Ooh!

After Comogant's shot went wide, he reluctantly covered his face, and the home fans immediately applauded and encouraged.

[Bournemouth seemed to be out of luck today, and they were just a fraction of a goal away.] 】

[Rotherham is an iron-hearted defense, the defensive line is very tight, and it doesn't even come out, and Wilson's speed can't play at all, which is really a headache for the Bournemouth team. 】

[I think Bournemouth should make substitutions, Como Gant doesn't get much support, and Wilson can't play to his strengths.] 】

[Sure enough, Eddie Howe is already adjusting, and it is Fraser who is waiting to play.] 】

With Ryan Fraser on the pitch, Bournemouth changed their line-up to 4-3-3 and increased the number of attackers in the attack.

In the 65th minute of the game, because the Rotherham team's defense was too tight, it basically gave up control of the midfield, and O'Kane took the ball and easily advanced to the half.

Harry and Ritchie quickly cut forward to the densely defended ribs, drawing in the defence and creating chances on both flanks.

However, O'Kane didn't pass the ball to the safety of his two wide team-mates or return to the full-backs.

And the ball was forcibly stuffed into the feet of Richie, who was trapped.

The two ribs were the focus of Rotherham's defense, and the moment Richie got the ball, he was caught by three people.

And the left central defender Anasson has also blocked Richie's passing lane.

It's the rhythm of conceding a goal.

Unless you're Iniesta, don't want to get out of the bag.

Ricci is certainly not Andres Iniesta, and Rotherham is not Italy.

The moment the bag was formed, Richie passed the ball in a tight space.

Comogant stepped forward, ran out of space, leaned on the defender's defense with his body, and lifted his foot to shoot.

This is Comogante's best chance yet. Since Rossi arrived, he has gone from being a regular last season to a substitute.

This is the consciousness that you must have as a veteran, the consciousness that makes way for young people.

However, at the age of 33, he is not convinced, he can still play, at least this season, he feels that his competitive form has not regressed.

This ball must be scored to prove that you are not old.

This defender, who is only one year younger than himself, does not suffer in physical confrontation.

Comogant took a step with his left foot, seemingly using all his strength, while swinging his right foot.

This was a crucial step, just to jam the defender's blocked route and create space for the next shot.

It was years of experience that gave him shooting awareness and muscle memory.

Rotherham centre-back Anasson can only make tackles from his side.

But he was a step late, and Comogant looked like he had a pair of 23-year-old legs to finish before he put it down.

Bang!

The ball passed between the goalkeeper's legs and into the far corner of the net.

【GOAL！！！！ 】

[The ball went in, and the veteran Comogant finally scored.] 】

[Bournemouth really dare to play, the tactics are very clear, and they force Rotherham's two rib spaces. 】

[It's very easy to concede the ball here, and it's entirely based on Richie's individual ability to force the rib space of the Rotherham team.] 】

[Maybe Adams himself didn't expect that the opponent would dare to fight. Eddie Howe is really bold. 】

After taking the lead, Rotherham strengthened their rib protection.

Bournemouth, who scored the goal, no longer need to force the ribs to take the initiative.

Anxiety came to Rotherham's side, who only wanted to take a point, but now they have to attack.

[Rotherham has already fought with his back to the water, now is the opportunity to counterattack, and he should send Robe to play and strengthen the speed of counterattack. 】

[What, wait!] It was actually center forward Pittman and midfielder Suhrman waiting on the sidelines, and it seems that the manager did not plan to send Roe to play in this game. 】

[I used to think it was just a tactical arrangement, but I didn't expect that as the media said before the game, Luo was pressed on the bench because of lazy training. 】

[This is not very good news for Bournemouth, who have won in a row, and it may affect unity. 】

Bournemouth did not extend the score for the remainder of the game and eventually won 1-0 to make it six wins in a row.

More than the winning streak, the news that Rossi sat on the bench for the whole game made the media more concerned.

Some media highly praised Eddie Howe's iron-fisted tactics and cleaning up the locker room as the secret to the team's winning streak.

There is also a lot of media hype that Eddie Howe will exacerbate the conflict by suppressing the in-form Rowe because of a small matter, and Rossi is only on loan, and it is very likely that he will leave the team during the winter break.

During Tuesday's intra-squad training match, good news media showed up at Bournemouth's training base.

A report on Rossi's availability for the weekend has already crossed their minds.

However, Rossi did not show up for the training match and trained alone in the gym.

The media had no access to the material, so they had to speculate on the cause and effect of the incident from other aspects.

In short, in the crucial match against Leeds United on Saturday, Rossi's appearance became one of the heat of the game.

In the Bournemouth squad, Rossi was still on the bench.
