Chapter 64: This Speed Is Not Right

Those who win the midfielder can win the world.

In modern football, the midfield engine is the soul of a team.

It is necessary not only to prevent the opposing players from breaking through the last line of defense, but also to revitalize the middle to organize the attack, and to become the assister of the striker's goal.

And the backcourt players must not only be able to transmit the ball to the front court in time, but more importantly, they must also take care of the defense of the backcourt.

Such multiple and complex tasks require a commander who is calm and aware of the overall situation.

Bournemouth's 4-2-3-1 formation saw three attackers up front and pressing high and no time to focus on the defence behind them.

Therefore, the double back has become the key to making the whole team attack and defend well.

In this position, the midfielder must not only look at the big picture, give instructions, direct the players, but also defend well.

In such a situation, the physical consumption of the players is quite enormous.

In the first half, Leeds United launched an attack in the opponent's midfield position and mobilized the defense, which was to deliberately consume the physical strength of the back.

Once there is a crisis in physical fitness, it will be followed by a decrease in the concentration of the game, which will affect the judgment of the ball.

Suhrman was out with an injury before that and his fitness has not yet returned to his best.

The offensive advantage in the first half made him overly energetic, and his physical energy was unconsciously consumed without realizing it.

At the start of the second half, Leeds United suddenly increased the tempo of the team's attack, which made Sulman a little uncomfortable.

Coupled with physical problems, he made a mistake in judgment and was caught by his opponent to counterattack and equalize the score.

Leeds United caught him off guard by concentrating on Surman's point after hiding the sweetness.

What's even more fatal is that if there is a problem with one of the two midfielders, Richie will have to go over to make up for it, so that there will be a flaw behind him.

Leeds United took advantage of this and played an effective counter-attack in a short period of time.

In the 68th minute, Eddie Howe replaced Sulman with O'Kane to consolidate the defense at the back.

Leeds United, after leading by two goals, slowed down the attacking tempo, defended recycled, conceded possession and concentrated on counter-attacking.

At this time, it was the Bournemouth team who was in a hurry.

In the 70th minute, Rossi took off his vest and ran to the sidelines to wait.

[It depends on the situation, Luo is going to play. 】

[The training gate incident, which put him on the bench by the head coach, and now that the team is in crisis, Eddie Howe wants him to bring change to the team. 】

[At this time, there are no personal grievances, everything is based on the team, which is the most basic ethics as a professional player. 】

No. 18 Comogant went down, No. 14 Rossi went up.

The Leeds United manager certainly knows that Rossi is the hottest new star in the Championship today.

He also knows that no matter how talented a player is, he is loose in training, he has no self-control in life, and he can become famous as quickly as he degenerates.

Before the game, he had studied Rossi's technical characteristics and also arranged some defensive tactics for him.

Play resumes with Bournemouth kick-off.

Consolidate the defence against Leeds United's contractive defence.

Bournemouth used Rossi to drop back and get the ball to press the backline.

But as soon as O'Kane got the ball out, defender Jason Pierce stepped forward to interfere with Rossi.

Leeds United's back line, meanwhile, retreated en masse to prevent opponents from moving forward.

[In the face of Bournemouth's strikerless formation, Leeds United made a targeted defense. Jason Pierce didn't press, but kept a safe distance from Rowe and restricted the passing lanes. 】

[Luo doesn't have a suitable passing line, so he can only pass back, or try to force the plug. But Leeds United's defence has dropped deep and there is no room for team-mates to pick up the ball. 】

[It seems that Redfein has made sufficient preparations before the game, and every step of the adjustment is very targeted. 】

The assistant coach of Leeds United still has something.

Ten minutes passed, and Rossi's retreat did not bring many counter-attacking opportunities to the team, but was repeatedly limited by defenders, and it was difficult to get a chance to play.

Eddie Howe touched his chin with his right hand and frowned, as the minutes ticked by, but the team struggled to find a chance.

Rossi saw that the drawdown had no effect and had to make a change.

The top is at the very front and becomes a single arrow.

Redfein laughed from the sidelines, knowing Rossi's characteristic, speed wasn't his strength, and Jason Pierce wasn't as slow to turn as other tall centre-backs.

If you want to be a bridgehead, your body is not dominant, and your power is not as good as that of Comogante.

Drip!

Leeds United broke the ball off the touchline and prevented Wilson from breaking through.

Eddie Howe picked up the ball out of bounds, took it in his hand and handed it to right wing-back Francis, whispering a few words in his ear.

Francis, who understood it, threw the ball in his hand and quickly inserted it, forming a numerical pressure on the wing with Wilson.

Bournemouth gave up the protection of gaps on the flank, allowing full-back Francis to cut forward and create a numerical advantage on the right flank.

Leeds United's defender Bianchi suddenly had to face the heavy responsibility of marking two areas, and for a while, he jumped left and right.

Wilson spotted the opportunity and quickly played the ball to Harry Art's feet in the ribs.

Bianchi's sideways jump from side to side at back made a mistake in judgment, giving Harry Art, who was in the ribs, an easy chance to take the ball and turn around.

Leeds United, who came to their senses, hurriedly wrapped up the defense and restricted his ball line as soon as possible.

But Harry went faster and sent a through ball forward.

Oops!

If it's Wilson here, then it's hard for the defenders to follow.

Hey?

Redfein breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the number 14 behind the player who answered at the front end.

If this is Comogant or Wilson, then they have to step forward and pose a threat.

As for Rosie?

Confrontation handicap, speed handicap, combined, does not pose a threat.

Harry had already seen Rossi on the through route before he passed.

He doesn't need to care if Rossi is offside, he just needs to pass the ball out.

[Harry passed, Luo was not offside, and the defender was chasing back, forming a single knife. 】

Single Blade?

Is there any mistake, does he have the speed to get rid of?

Rossi took the ball nearly ten meters from the front of the penalty area, more than 30 meters from the goal line, and defender Jason's turn was not slow, how could he not catch up?

Rossi took the ball into the box and faced the attacking goalkeeper and rolled the ball between the goalkeeper's legs and into the net.

The goalkeeper immediately blamed defender Jason, how this person was marked, it all leaked home.

【GOAL!!!! 】

[Beautiful anti-offside, it's unbelievable.] At this moment, Rossi's starting speed instantly shook off the guard's marking. 】

[What's going on, Luo's speed is not fast. But this time of running back, Jason really couldn't catch up. 】

[Is it a lack of concentration?] It was a serious mistake by a defender. 】

[Now the score is 2:3, and the home team Bournemouth pulled a goal back.] There are nearly ten minutes left in the game, and there is still a chance. 】
