Chapter 80: Silky Rosie
As the half-time whistle ended, Eddie Howe immediately returned to the dressing room.
It was expected to be behind, but two goals behind was something he didn't expect.
Leicester City's fast attack was pressed from the beginning, and after honing in the Premier League, they became very fast.
In such a situation, it is inevitable to concede a goal.
Eddie Howe was thinking about trying to keep one goal conceded and waiting for the opponent's momentum to pass away, and then waiting for an opportunity to find an opportunity.
But conceding just before half-time left Bournemouth completely passive.
"Cook, how is the big center on the other side?"
In the first half, Chris Wood's role was very clear and he was one of the team's best players in the first half.
Cook's eyes were firm, and he patted his chest and said, "Give him to me in the second half, no problem." β
Eddie Howe quickly drew an attacking diagram on the tactical board and said: "In the second half, they will definitely shrink the defence because they have to conserve their energy and prepare for the league. So, we're going to score a goal before the 65th minute. β
Normally, the 65th minute or so is a substitution, whether it's a tactical adjustment or a rest for the players.
If a goal can be scored at this substitution point, then it will be difficult for Leicester City to choose.
"Now we have to attack, the two wings must be bold to press up, if you lose the ball, you must counter-steal at the first time, or even foul."
"Gosling, you need to raise it appropriately. If we can push to the edge of the box, you have to be here. β
Eddie Howe drew two dots where Gosling excelled from distance. That's what he did in the second half.
"In the first 20 minutes of the second half, I want you to attack without sparing, do you understand?"
"Understood."
[The two teams returned to the pitch again, judging from the first half, Leicester City had the initiative, and Bournemouth had no way back and had to attack. γ
[Luo, who killed all sides in the Championship, performed average in the first half and did not have too bright spots. Maybe that's the difference in level between the two leagues. γ
As the referee's whistle sounded, the second half of the game between the two sides began.
Leicester City still maintained the formation of the first half, but did not press forward and only defended in their own half.
Eddie Howe made a bold adjustment, turning the midfield into a diamond-shaped position to compete for the midfield advantage.
Pearson disagreed, although the diamond-shaped midfielder was able to take advantage of the numerical advantage and limit his three midfielders and block passing lanes.
But Bournemouth's diamond-shaped midfielder doesn't have a single organiser up front.
Ryan Fraser, who is in this position, is a wide attacker, his speed is his advantage, and as for the organization, it is not at all.
Pearson told Riyad Mahrez to drop back and join the midfield defence.
Although Bournemouth slowly established possession advantage in midfield and gradually smoothed their coordination, their forward progress was limited and they could not form a threat.
Instead, after Leicester broke the ball here, Cambiaso could launch a long counter-attack and hit two gaps in the ribs.
[Oh, there is no way for the Bournemouth team today. There are no good points on the ball, and if this continues, even if Leicester don't plan to attack, they won't have a chance to score. γ
[Oh, Rich and Harry Art are warming up on the sidelines, are they going to get ready to play.] γ
[Eddie Howe wants to strengthen the counterattack in the front court through the playmaking control of the two.] γ
In the 58th minute, Cambiaso broke the ball in the midfield and immediately distributed the ball to James who stepped forward, and the Bournemouth midfielder immediately shifted the defensive focus to the left side.
After James pushed the ball through the half, he passed to Chris Wood, who was plugged in on the wing, and continued to set the side, attracting the full-backs to defend, allowing Chris and Cook to form a 1v1 on the wing.
From the second half, Cook has been playing sideways to defend Chris.
As he moved down the wing, Cook got close in time and allowed back O'Kane to fill his gaps.
Even if Chris gets the ball, there will be enough numbers at the back.
Chris, who played with confidence in the first half, after winning the ball on the wing, did not break through the cross space, and chose to cut in laterally and look for opportunities.
Cook followed closely, but he didn't rush to get up and slowed down his opponent's attack by blocking the passing lane.
Chris Wood took a few steps and found that there was no room to pass the ball inward, and after seeing Cambiaso who was cut in behind, he passed the ball over and cut in laterally along the line of the box.
Cook followed closely behind, not taking a position in front of him, but always following him.
Sure enough, seeing Chris running sideways, Cambiaso sent a pass under the two-man package and gave it to Chris's feet.
This line of attack is very clear, which is to use the off-ball movement of the front line to create opportunities for forward passes.
But at this time, Cook, who had never taken the initiative to grab, saw the opportunity, strode forward, went around to Chris, made a decisive move, grabbed and passed, and easily passed the ball to Gosling, who was back on the defensive.
"The ball is up, and you're not going back?" Cook said defiantly.
Chris Wood glared at him fiercely, and the snatch just now surprised him a little.
And from the beginning of the wing defense just now, although Cook is far away from his own defensive area, he can calmly direct his teammates to supplement the defense and keep the defense intact, which is very remarkable.
Cook's defense against himself is to give up space to get the ball and turn to marking.
It's also a defensive essentials for running off the ball, either to man or position.
"You want to learn from our Jialuo's running position, and it's a little tender." Cook did not forget to mend the knife.
After Gosling won the ball, he pushed forward quickly, and the midfielder Cambiaso strode after him from the side to form an interception.
He didn't dare to stay long, and quickly passed the ball out, and it was Rossi who answered in front.
Now, it was Leicester's turn to panic.
Because Cambiaso's insertion made the defense weak at the back, only Albreton retreated, and he did not have enough interception ability.
Rossi appeared in the forward position, which means that Ryan Ferreser, who was originally in this position, has reached the front end
Now Bournemouth's attacking line is to have speed and speed, to pass the ball and pass the ball.
"Stop him, stop him!"
Pearson bounced off the rest area, stood in the coaching area, and roared at the players.
Albrighton scurried back and was dunked by Rossi with a fake fax to shake off the defence.
After all, Abel Ryton is an attacking full-back, and his defensive and interception awareness is really not very good.
Bang!
Rossi was in the most comfortable position and flicked the ball forward with the outside instep.
From passing to passing, it took less than a second.
That's where his "precision touch" comes in, which can improve the speed and quality of a shot in an instant.
A beautiful arc that directly penetrates the defensive line.
Leicester City's backline, thinking that his teammates could suspend the attack, did not expect Rossi to convert from passing the ball so quickly.
By the time they realized the problem was serious, Wilson and Ryan Fraser were already on the same level as them.
0.1 seconds, no, less.
Even a 0.01-second lead would be enough to destroy the defense.
[The linesman did not raise the flag, there was no offside. γ
The on-field commentators were thrilled as it was by far Bournemouth's most dangerous attack.
Wilson turned sideways to meet the ball, and when the ball came to him, he lifted it up with his left foot and led it forward, striding forward.
[Beautiful, in less than a second, Wilson opened up a few meters of distance from the defender. γ
[This is the classic connection of the Bournemouth team.] Lowe Wire. γ
[This has been passed down through the ages, so silky, and it makes people have endless aftertaste. γ
Wilson strode into the box and fired a shot into the bottom right corner in front of the attacking goalkeeper.
Goalkeeper Ben Hammer opened his legs and expanded the defensive area. Unfortunately, Wilson's shot was fast and tricky, and before he could hit the ground, the ball rolled from his left side into the goal.

[Bournemouth pull a goal back, a pass from Rowe, a shot from Wilson.] γ
[Sure enough, at a critical time, it depends on these two people. γ
[Bournemouth recovered a goal, and the game is still in suspense.] γ
