After the goal, Bournemouth's control in midfield was significantly strengthened.

After the game against Liverpool, the players felt that their fitness slots had been expanded, they were able to save more energy, and they were surprisingly good and relaxed.

Bournemouth had 70 per cent possession in the first half and threatened Fulham's goal on a number of occasions.

In the 15th minute, Bournemouth took advantage of the small area of the front to pass together, and Richie once again found Rossi, who was successful in the front line against offside.

This time the Fulham goalkeeper was on the right time and Rossi's shot was saved.

Two minutes later, it was Rossi again, who took advantage of his excellent movement and got rid of the defence, dribbling to the baseline to return the ball, but Pugh's shot went over the crossbar.

In just a few minutes, there was a lot of noise in front of Fulham, and in order to prevent Rossi's counter-run forward, Simmons gave up the offside tactic and let central defender Hutchinson drag back and keep an eye on the position.

In this way, Bournemouth can easily get the ball in the heart of the opponent and turn to threaten the goal directly.

However, the Fulham backline was still timely in helping to defend, and the danger was saved again and again.

Simmons scratched his head with his hands off the court, his face was sad, and he couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while.

Marking, although it largely limits Rossi's forward attack, also exposes dangerous areas in the penalty area to the opponent, giving the opponent a lot of fire.

The goal is bombarded by the opponent, and the mentality of the players is very easy to collapse.

Fortunately, in the second half of the first half, Bournemouth did not score and went into the break 1-0.

Simmons' team had no idea that they would be beaten by opponents who were so good at using the way they were good at that they couldn't hold their heads up.

The opponent relied on the striker alone, and his team's tactics were completely paralyzed.

"Let's give it a go!" The assistant coach suggested: "Instead of being passive, let's fight and we will attack." ”

Simmons also has this plan.

Playing against opponents in midfield, they are not completely at a disadvantage. As long as the midfielder can play the ball, it will greatly stimulate the team's attacking ability.

"Hutchinson, in the second half you have to keep an eye on the number 14 on the opposite side and not let him shoot." The only thing Simmons worries about is here.

The reason why Bournemouth can remain unbeaten is naturally because he is stronger than other teams.

Since you want to attack boldly, it is particularly important for Rossi's marking.

Hutchinson nodded, "Boss, I'll keep an eye on him in the second half." ”

'Don't underestimate him, his anti-offside awareness is very good, you have to keep an eye on his people in the second half, you can't even lose defensive positions.'

At the start of the second half, Fulham stepped up their pressing up front.

Their players are agile and quick, and even if they don't make tackles, they interfere with Bournemouth's passing to a certain extent.

In addition, the overall speed of their players is good, and after a failed grab, they can quickly form a new bag defense against the player with the ball.

Eddie Howe was in the lounge area, using the tactical board to lay out the offensive diagram of the two teams today, thinking about how to deal with it.

Fulham's pressing was ferocious, but there were also pitfalls.

Once the ball is picked out, then their defense is only left with two central defenders.

This is not enough to stop the attack of the duo of Rossi and Wilson.

Bournemouth were pressed by their opponents and used long balls to divert to the opponent's weak-side defensive area.

Here, Pugh had plenty of room to dribble and deliver the ball threateningly.

Rossi had his back to the ball as Hutchinson was always in the end, leaving Pugh unable to pass the ball behind Rossi.

But the moment Pew passed the ball, Hutchinson grabbed it smartly, used his physical advantage, and fought with Rossi hand-to-hand to interfere with him with the ball.

And at the first time, stretch your leg to destroy the ball.

In this defense, Hutchinson first used the marking to limit Rossi's forward insertion.

When the ball came over, he stepped forward aggressively, changed from marking to man-marking, and successfully completed the defensive task.

Simmons nodded in satisfaction, as long as Rossi was restrained, the Bournemouth team's attack was paralyzed.

When the defense is solidified, the attacking players in front of them seem to be reassured, and the more confident they play.

In the 58th minute, Fulham's pressing finally paid off.

Suhrman accidentally stopped the ball when he stopped it, and was cut off by the opponent's right midfielder Sterk-Parker with a kick, and quickly advanced with the ball.

Bournemouth's full-backs stepped forward to defend and the space behind them was occupied by striker Michael McMark.

Last season's top scorer in the Championship was immediately defended by Bournemouth captain Tim Cook after winning the ball on the right side of the box.

Feints, get rid of, accelerate breakthroughs.

McMah was able to use his succinct and decisive technique to make Cook gasp.

When Cook turned to chase back, he was already half of his body, and the two were in the penalty area, he didn't dare to tackle the ball rashly, so he could only reach over to interfere and force the opposing striker to the bottom line.

McMark saw that he was forced to the bottom line, and there was no angle at all in front of him, and before he fell to the ground, he passed the ball back to the middle.

It was Fulham's most dangerous attack since the start of the second half.

Striker Rodarega was already in place, and near the penalty spot, he used the arch of his foot to push the ball into the bottom left corner.

Goalkeeper Boruc couldn't make a save and the ball was about to fly into the net, but Francis appeared on the goalline just in time.

Bang!

Francis reached out to block the ball and defuse the close-range shot.

[Wonderful clearance, Fulham's shot was just a little bit close, and it was cleared by the opposing defender. 】

[During this time, they went on the offensive, and the quality of the counterattack was very high, bringing out their fast and flexible characteristics. 】

[From Cook's turn and chase, it is clear that Fulham is going to hit this point.] As long as you turn around and take a step slower, it's an opportunity. 】

For a while, the Fulham team, who played confidently, formed a pressure on Bournemouth.

The pressure was not on the pitch as Bournemouth still had more than 65 per cent possession.

This suppression is on the psychological side of the players.

Once the ball is broken, they can form a dangerous attack.

The idea began to take shape in the minds of the Bournemouth players and expanded as the game progressed.

Magath's fighting will and physical strength left to Fulham gradually took effect at this moment.

Eddie Howe is also aware that the tide is slowly turning against his opponent.

If the team's offense can't threaten them, then they are even more unscrupulous.

As soon as the words fell, Harry Art's pass found Rossi in front of him.

Hutchinson stepped forward to interfere at the first time, causing Rossi to stop the ball for the first time and was destroyed by Hutchinson, who grabbed the ball for the second time.

This mistake reflects the anxiety of the Bournemouth team.

When the midfield advantage is gone, the players are pinning their hopes on the core of the team and hoping that they can stabilize the tempo.

So, Harry can only go ahead and find Rossi.

But his pass was too hasty, and it was not observed whether Rossi got rid of the defense and handed over the ball for nothing.

After conceding the goal, Rossi ran to Wilson and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Boss, you have to adjust it, if you go on like this, it's easy to lose the ball." The assistant coach expressed his worries and said, "We also have to speed up the front court and share the pressure of Luo. ”

Eddie Howe had also had the intention of sending out fast forwards.

But after seeing Rossi and Wilson switch positions, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, take another look." ”

In the 70th minute, Fulham still stepped up in midfield.

Rich was in charge of the team's organization, and as the game progressed, the pressure increased dramatically as the energy and concentration were exhausted.

For a while, it was difficult for him to find the right spot.

At that moment, Rossi ran into his field of view and took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Behind him, Hutchinson was poised to go.

Transmit? Don't pass it on?

In the second half, Rossi was disrupted every time he got the ball, causing his teammates to hesitate when it came to the ball.

"Hey!"

Rossi's strong desire for the ball erupted from both eyes.

Richie didn't dare to delay any longer and passed the ball out.

Hutchinson saw the moment and raced up to get the ball off at the first opportunity.

Rossi did not wait for the ball on the spot this time, but took the initiative to run to meet the ball.

This run stunned the opponent, is this with or without it?

Because Rossi took the initiative to meet the ball, the top grab has lost the opportunity to break the ball in the first place.

Just as he hesitated, Rossi suddenly opened her feet, allowing the ball to slip between her legs.

He quickly turned around and stepped forward past Hutchinson.

Hutchinson looked in the direction of the ball, Wilson was already on the ball's trajectory, and Rossi stepped forward from the other direction.

Who should I protect against?

The negligence of the backline, one second is deadly enough.

Wilson didn't stop the ball and pushed the ball forward with the arch of his foot and gave it to Rossi, who was inserted forward.

Rossi went single-handedly, facing the attacking goalkeeper and sweeping the ball in front of goal, Wilson rushed to the ball before the opposition centre-back's tackle and sent the ball into the goal.

【GOAL！！！！ 】

[The ball went in, from the connection between Rossi and Wilson.] 】

[This goal brought Luo's running and vision to the fullest, and he was full of imagination and always brought surprises. 】

[At this moment, Fulham's defense is useless. 】

[2:0, this score may be able to shatter the advantage that the Fulham team has just established in an instant. 】

[At the same time, we are also expecting Bournemouth to continue their unbeaten record, and after today, there will be another big addition.] 】

As the commentator said, after this goal, the Fulham team has lost their fighting spirit.

In the 80th minute, Rossi was replaced by Pitman amid the applause of the fans.

At Dean Court Stadium, giving Rossi a round of applause, which is gradually becoming a habit among fans, and may even become a tradition.

Rossi, the big boy who always plays football calmly and chicly, is already the prince in the hearts of fans.

In the end, Bournemouth won Fulham 2-0 at home, and with a huge advantage of 15 points, they became the half-way champions of the Championship without any suspense.
