After just five minutes, Bournemouth got off to a dream start, and Cardiff City had no idea that the heart of Bournemouth's attack would revolve around Rossi.

In modern football, building a team with the midfield as the core has gradually become the mainstream, and the midfielder controls the offensive and defensive balance of the team.

Especially after the popularity of Barcelona's pass-and-control style of play, the world's respective teams have higher and higher requirements for midfielders.

Those who win the midfielder win the world.

From the wings of the early Red Devils' "treble", the combination of Gascoles and Roy Keane is the core of the team's victory in Europe.

The Milan dynasty's Kaka, Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf and Ambrosini, who formed the Christmas tree midfield, played in two Champions League finals in three years.

Barcelona's Habaibu midfielder has created a miracle of six crowns.

It can be seen that the strength of a team depends on the midfield.

But it was surprising that Bournemouth would build a strategy around centre-forward Rossi as the focus of attack.

But soon, Cardiff City discovered that Eddie Howe's current tactics were not so simple.

The direction of the team's attack is determined by Rossi's position.

When Rossi drops back to get the ball, if the defence doesn't follow, then the opponent's midfield is completely at a numerical disadvantage, and the attack can penetrate from the flanks or in the middle.

If the defence follows, the forward cut from that side goes straight into the hinterland, and the ball behind Bournemouth poses an immediate threat to the goal.

If Rossi is at the front, the two wings drop back, creating space for him to break through the middle.

At this time, Rossi's counterrun is like a dagger, threatening the opponent's goal at all times.

This slight change alone is a big headache for Cardiff City.

For the next five minutes, Cardiff City's backline was shaky and could have been left behind had it not been for the goalkeeper's bravery.

Adjustments had to be made.

Cardiff City used the centre-backs to zone Rossi and deny Rossi the ball in the dangerous zone.

Although this limits Rossi's ability to score, Rossi can still attract the defense by running without the ball.

Cardiff City will be hoping for an early end to the first half and a better adjustment in midfield.

After all, it is difficult to implement tactics only by relying on the head coach to yell on the sidelines.

Towards first-half stoppage time, Cardiff City paid for their laxity.

It was a seemingly non-threatening attack, and the defense was in place.

Bournemouth's full-back Daniels stepped in to provide the assist and used an inverted triangle to get the ball in front of goal.

Outflanked Harry Arter scored with a push to extend the score to 2:0.

It was a surprise goal that even the Bournemouth players felt very lucky.

With three points in stoppage time, Bournemouth could return to the dressing room with a two-goal advantage.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Cardiff City comfortably advanced the ball into the opposition half, much to the displeasure of Eddie Howe.

At any given time, without the manager's orders, the team must keep pressing up front and not allow the opponent to push easily.

Cardiff City's wide players took the ball into the box and centre-forward Le Fondre flicked it on the head of team-mate Kenwayne at the back post, who headed home.

2:1！

This unexpected goal allowed Eddie Howe to kick the water bottle on the ground hard to vent his frustration when he returned to the rest area.

Bournemouth kicked off in the centre circle and Rossi fed the ball back to Wilson and ran forward quickly.

How? Still going to attack?

The teammates were a little confused.

With a minute left before the end of the first half, most of them chose to pass the ball to kill time, but Rossi stepped forward decisively, leaving his teammates very ashamed.

Any minute of the game, it is possible to score a goal.

Bournemouth used the time they had to organise one last chance on goal.

And after the goal, the Cardiff City team, a little excited, began to press.

Bournemouth used a pass to get through the half and handed it to Rich.

Cardiff City immediately clamped him.

This time, it was Harry Art who came to pick up Richie.

As a midfielder, he shoulders the team's long balls at the back and forwards.

After getting the ball, the first thing to see was Rossi, who was moving between the full-back and the centre-back.

Bang!

A through ball is passed between two defenders.

Rossi quietly approached full-back Blackford before he could make a move, ambushing him in a spot that was out of sight.

The moment Harry Aat passed the ball, Brefort's attention was completely absorbed by Wilson, ignoring the marking of Rossi.

By the time the ball was behind him, Rossi had already started and dribbled diagonally into the box.

He turned fast enough to keep up with Rossi and could only hope for centre-back Ben Turner to make up for it.

But Rossi started too quickly, and it was only when he got close to the edge of the box that Ben Turner could catch up.

Raise your foot and shoot.

When Rossi was about to shoot, Ben Turner knew it was too late, flew into a sliding tackle, and used his body to block the angle of Rossi's shot.

But it was all a feint, Rossi faked a real shot, shook off the defense, and took a step into the box.

The goalkeeper scrambled to block and Rossi spotted the space in the near corner and fired the ball into the net from his lap before the goalkeeper crouched down to block.

【GOAL, wonderful goal!! 】

[In the three minutes of stoppage time, the two teams scored two goals for us, which made the home fans addicted.] 】

[Luo's shooting is very calm, choosing the near corner, which is very demanding for marksmanship. 】

[Obviously, when the goalkeeper attacked, he didn't expect Luo to choose the near corner. 】

[Rowe scored twice in the first half.] 】

With a score of 3:1, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

Back in the dressing room, Eddie Howe was first extremely unhappy with the slackness of his players in the final minutes.

"It's only two goals ahead, you guys are complacent, our next game is against Liverpool, in such a state, what else to play, it's better to get out early, so as not to be embarrassed."

The players all bowed their heads, did not say a word, and their faces were as red as blood.

They knew in their hearts that if Rossi hadn't asked for another attack at the last moment and scored a goal, the manager would have been scolded at this time.

Eddie Howe didn't praise Rosie, he let the others know that it was Rosie who wiped their butts and that you all owe Rosie a favor.

This undoubtedly adds to Rossi's prestige in the dressing room.

At the start of the second half, after Cardiff City kicked off, Bournemouth went on a rampage.

What's going on?

I thought that the opponent would take it, but he knew that they were pushing like crazy.

In just ten minutes, he committed as many as five fouls and received a yellow card.

Not only that, but a yellow card foul on Bournemouth gave Cardiff City a well-placed set-piece opportunity, and centre-back Morrison headed home to close the gap.

3：2！

Although a goal was recovered, the Bournemouth team was not discouraged, how to play before, and still play like this later, completely taking the initiative in their hands.

In the 67th minute, Wilson scored a goal in the chaos in front of the goal to extend the score to 4:2.

But ten minutes later, Cardiff City took advantage of set-piece opportunities again and scored with a header from centre-back Morrison.

It stands to reason that Cardiff City continue to chase points, and the team's morale should be high.

But when they saw the frantic pressing of the Bournemouth team, they felt that the difference between this one goal was simply heaven and earth.

In the 70th minute, Bournemouth made a comeback, with Rossidi dropping back to attract the opposition centre-backs.

Harry Art's long ball from the back hit the left side of the ribs, Wilson took the ball and shook the defender to defend it, entered the penalty area, and forced a shot under the bag of the central defender and the goalkeeper.

The ball passed between the goalkeeper's legs, and although it touched the goalkeeper's right leg and refracted it, it could not stop the goal.

5:3！！！

After the goal, Cardiff City completely lost their fighting spirit, and Eddie Howe also replaced Rossi and Wilson in the 75th minute to prepare for next week's EFL Cup game.

In the end, Bournemouth beat Cardiff City 5-3 to continue their unbeaten season.

After the game, the Cardiff City manager praised the new Bournemouth team and publicly reminded Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers to be careful of this dark horse.

After a fun weekend, the match against Liverpool became the focus of Bournemouth's fans after dinner.
