Bournemouth dressing room.

Instead of getting frustrated by conceding a goal, the players kept complaining about how the weather and the pitch were affecting their form.

Click~click~click!

Eddie Howe grimaced, tapping his pen on the whiteboard.

"If you don't play well, what's the use of blaming the weather, if you still have this mentality, we can't win this game."

The players are all shut up, and off-field factors do affect their performance, but the opponents are the same, and they can't make excuses for their mistakes.

After the silence, Eddie Howe was on the tactical board and drew a map of the offensive line for the second half.

'Listen up, in the second half we have to attack, or play on the wing, make crosses if we can cross, and make corners if we can't.

"Also, the opponent's defense line must not be easy to raise. Rowe, you have to drop back more to get the ball. When no one is marking you, you shoot and try to keep the ball as low as possible. ”

In fact, the tactics were similar to the first half, except that Rossi was given more right to fire.

"Comogante, get ready to warm up, the attack didn't improve in the second half, give me any time."

At half-time, the rain had subsided, which was good news for Bournemouth.

After the visitors' kick-off, Wolves concentrated their defense in their own half, and several lines of defense were clearly layered, echoing back and forth, which showed Kenny Jackett's calm analysis of the game situation.

Defending in a monolithic way can only boost the morale of the opponent and weaken the momentum of your own players.

As you can tell from the few headwind games played by Bournemouth, this is an aggressive team that is good at chasing points.

Therefore, when defending, the defense line should not be too far back, but should maintain a certain degree of flexibility, and when appropriate, use quick counterattacks to impact the opponent's goal.

Ten minutes into the second half, both teams took advantage of the gaps on the wings, and after the ball was kicked up, the full-backs threw off their arms and ran, simple and rude, making the home fans superb.

Moreover, because the ball was slippery, it was difficult for the player to fully control the ball when striding the ball, and the opponent was tackled with the ball, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.

Fifteen minutes, four yellow cards, the game was on and off, and the anxiety gradually showed on the faces of the Bournemouth players.

Captain Cook has been telling his team-mates to calm down, and now they are only one goal behind, which is completely equal, and impulsiveness will only waste chances.

At the start of the second half, Rossi dropped back between the backline and the midfielders to meet his team-mates.

In Rosicka's position, the central defenders did not dare to be promoted, and the midfielders had to take care of the defense in front of them, which made them very uncomfortable.

Defender Edwards reminded his team-mates to complement Rossi so that he could concentrate on the defense in front of him.

With that being the case, Rossi continued to retreat, almost parallel to the back.

After he retreated, Wilson and Pugh stepped forward, forcing the opposing centre-backs to mark the two.

In this way, the task of defending Rossi by the defender is again lost to the midfielder.

Rossi moved back and forth like this, forcing the centre-backs and midfielders to distract themselves and keep an eye on his position.

At this time, Richie stepped forward and formed two exit points with Rossi on the opponent's back waistline.

In the 59th minute, Sulman saw the opportunity for Richie to step forward and passed the ball to his feet.

Wolves defender Edwards immediately stepped forward to block, and Rossi immediately leaned behind the back and cut into the wing.

Meanwhile, Wilson on the right is interspersed inside.

Richie saw Rossi activate and instantly understood his intentions, passing the ball behind Edwards to Rossi, who was diagonally inserted.

Wolves left wing-back Doherty saw Wilson moving down the middle and into the defensive area of the centre-backs, and immediately stepped forward to defend Rossi.

Rossi didn't stop the ball after taking the ball and passed it directly between the full-back and the central defender.

Wilson, who was running laterally, stepped forward in time, leaned on central defender Stillman, and held the ball firmly on the right side of the edge of the penalty area.

After getting the ball, Wilson did not choose to break through, because the central defender had already been in position, standing sideways, blocking the in-cutting line, waiting for his breakthrough at any time.

And, Wilson was waiting, he was waiting for Rossi.

Rossi immediately moved to the left along the penalty line after the pass.

If the full-back continues to follow, then he will be in a defensive position, and there will be gaps.

Therefore, the full-backs must wrap up Wilson with the central defenders at this time and interfere with his ball.

As the two-man wrap was about to form, Wilson used his heel to knock the ball to Rossi behind him.

Rossi was in this position, with defender Edwards behind him and centre-back Stillman in front of him, already packed.

When everyone thought that Rossi would be cut off by the two of them, Rossi met the ball and gently picked it up with her toes.

The ball arced over the centre-back's head and landed behind him, where Wilson emerged.

[Beautiful pick-up pass, Bournemouth team used the non-stop ball pass in the front court to find the gap in the opponent's defense, and Wilson entered the penalty area. 】

[This pick pass, the timing is very accurate. 】

Full-back Doherty turned to chase back, and although he occupied the inside, he was one position behind Wilson.

Wilson made a big first move, and after chasing the ball, he chose to cut inside.

[Wilson cuts inside, but the ball goes a little wide, and the defender tackles.] 】

[Fell, Wilson fell in the penalty area, see what the referee decides.] 】

Drip!

The referee saw the linesman raise the flag and shake it slightly, immediately stopping the game.

Doherty was shown a yellow card and Wolves players surrounded him to put pressure on the referee.

This foul is either a penalty or a fake fall.

Eventually, the referee, after asking the linesman, showed Doherty a yellow card and then a red card.

Two yellows turn into one red.

Wolves not only had to face one man less, but were also awarded a penalty.

The home fans instantly booed the decision.

Rossi held the ball and stood twelve yards.

With a shot on goal in the first half, Rossi clearly felt the impact of the watery ball on the goal.

There were also a couple of shots on goal in the second half, but they couldn't get on target.

He wiped the ball with his shirt and placed it smoothly on the penalty spot.

Run, Knock the Door!

Rossi didn't pause the whole action and pumped hard into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Ekmeer judged the right direction, but Rossi's ball was fast and the angle was tricky, and the slightest touch of his fingertips could not stop the ball from running into the net.

【GOAL！！！ 】

[Very crisp, very decisive, without any pause, resolutely hit your lower right corner.] 】

[In the 60th minute of the game, Bournemouth equalized and scored from a penalty kick from Rossi. 】

Wolves, who had one man less, quickly adjusted their formation, removing goal-scoring centre-forward Danny and replacing it with midfielder Tommy Rowe.

After the goal, Bournemouth attacked more determinedly, and there were 30 minutes left, which was enough to overtake the score.

Seeing the determined eyes of the players, Eddie Howe slowly walked back to the rest area and said to the assistant coach: "Did you notice, Rowe is getting more and more reassuring now." ”

The penalty just now not only helped the team equalize, but also reassured the players.

At first, they were still impatient due to the weather, but after Rossi scored the penalty steadily, the whole team seemed to relax.

In the 65th minute, Como Gant replaced Pugh and the formation changed to 4-4-2.

By this time, the rain had stopped and the pass was gradually returning to the feet of the Bournemouth team.

On the other hand, the opponent, due to the lack of one person to fight, the 9 people on the field scored more defensive space, and gradually showed fatigue.

In the 85th minute, Bournemouth's cooperation at the edge of the penalty area, after mobilizing the opponent's defense, created a long-range opportunity for Rich, who was inserted behind.

Without interference, Richie's low shot, the ball was fast and flat, drilled into the dead corner, and overtook the score.

In the end, Bournemouth turned their opponents 2-1 and continued their unbeaten season.

In the post-match press conference, when asked by reporters what was the key to changing the course of this game, Eddie Howe replied without hesitation.

'It was Ronaldo's penalty, of course. He is now the spiritual leader of the team. ”

This compliment, for Rossi, who has just joined the team, is indeed a bit excessive.

can see Rossi's fiery state, who can question his ability.

Maybe the next captain of the team will be him.

The 20-year-old has conquered not only the Bournemouth fans but also the manager in less than five months.
