In the 26th round of the league, Bournemouth challenged Rotherham away.

Rotherham, who were beaten in the FA Cup, let the defender Smallwood stare at Rossi all over the field after the game started, not giving him any chance to take the ball.

Throughout the game, no matter where Rossi was, there was a blonde guy by his side, who was with him.

This "special" arrangement really made the Bournemouth team lack vitality and the rhythm was a little sluggish when attacking in the front.

Eddie Howe wanted to use the advantage of the wing to open up the situation, but Wilson's attacking style on the wing was too simple, and he became a "running forward" who fought for speed with the opposing defender, and the effect was naturally unsatisfactory.

Without Rossi's tandem and involvement, the team's ability to move forward has significantly declined.

Marking Rossi one-on-one, the lack of personnel doubled the pressure on Rotherham's midfield defence.

But the players used aggressive running to make up for the holes in the defense in time.

For the full 40 minutes, Bournemouth only had two threatening shots on goal, and their attacking ability was greatly reduced.

This season, Eddie Howe's side, which is a stubborn defensive team against Rotherham, have struggled to advance on the offensive end.

In a fit of rage, he gave Rossi the power of a free man, allowing him to adjust his position according to the match.

In this way, Rossi's area of activity is very wide and very flexible.

He often pulls to the weak side of the flank without the ball, allowing his teammates to concentrate on the other side.

Gradually, both sides were hoarding heavy troops on one side.

On the weak side, there are only Rossi and Smallwood.

Rotherham are not worried.

Rossi is a team player with limited 1v1 ability, which is why he dares to defend him alone.

Unless it's a player like Messi, you can't prevent it alone, and you need to use an iron cage to trap him.

Pugh and Richie were on one side, linking up with the team, using small short passes to try to tear down the defence.

Although Wilson's speed is fast, in terms of the consciousness of cooperating with the forward insertion, he is obviously inferior to Rossi's ghostly movement.

Touchline hand toss.

It was Bournemouth's 15th touchline toss in the first half.

This made Eddie Howe a little stumped.

The team's previous offense relied too heavily on Rossi's running, and once it was restricted, it couldn't find a way to score.

Coupled with Rotherham's defense, it is true that it does a better job than the other players.

Taking advantage of the gap, Rossi whispered a few words to Elfik on the weak side, who looked at the head coach on the sidelines with a surprised look.

Rosie patted him on the back and said, "The boss gave me the freedom to play in the frontcourt, listen to me, yes."

After throwing the ball out, Rossi continued to return to the right and Smallwood followed closely.

Bournemouth were blocked on the left and played the ball back into their own half to adjust and look for chances.

Elfik, who received the ball, got up directly to the left wing.

That's crazy!

With only Rossi and full-back Francis on the left flank, want to rely on them to advance?

After Rossi stopped the ball, Smallwood posted it as soon as possible.

After passing the ball back to Francis, he turned and stepped forward, and his teammates also passed the ball forward very tacitly.

It's a big open field.

Rotherham are not nervous as Smallwood has come back to disrupt Rossi.

Rossi sprinted in the first 15 meters and was still on par with Smallwood, but after 20 meters, there was no room to break through.

He immediately changed direction with his right heel and tried to shake off the defense.

But Smallwood was well prepared, moving quickly to prevent Rossin's cut.

But Rossi changed direction not to cut inside, but to pass.

He was answered by full-back Francessy.

Francis, who was cutting forward at high speed, ran wildly with the ball to the bottom line, and in the face of the interception of the defender, he passed the ball to the penalty area one step ahead.

Rotherham's defence was in place and, most importantly, Bournemouth didn't have the players to grab the point.

This pass is pointless.

Wilson and Pugh were both targeted by the opponent's central defenders, and even if they jumped at the same time, they would not be able to take advantage of the slightest advantage.

At this moment, a tall figure was plunging into the penalty area at high speed, taking the defenders by surprise.

What's the situation, who is this?

I saw him jump high, grab ahead of the defenders, and shake his head to attack the goal.

This header converts all the power of his sprint into the power of the header.

A powerful header caught the goalkeeper off guard and watched the ball fly into the net from the near corner.

It was only after the goal scorer hit the ground that everyone could see what he looked like.

Number 5, Elfik.

Didn't he defend in the back, and when did he come to kill?

[goal, the ball is in!]

！ 】

[Header from defender Elfik.] The header was so fast that the goalkeeper didn't react at all. 】

[It's not so much that I didn't react to the header, but that I didn't think about his back insertion at all.] 】

[Rotherham's defense is in place, but it simply ignores Elfik, who is inserted from the back row. 】

After the goal, Elfik, despite the panting from the backfield just now, rushed to the sidelines, clenched his fists and roared in front of the corner flagstick, and then hugged Rossi tightly.

It was his first league goal.

Eddie Howe on the sidelines was also overjoyed and surprised, because the opponent's midfield defended Rossi, and the midfield barrier was one less person.

That's when the centre-backs come in and they create good chances.

However, the timing of the central defender's insertion must be very accurate, and after the attack has been transferred to one side, the opponent has no time to take care of it in time, so as to have a surprise effect.

When did Elfik have such a smart forward awareness?

Eddie Howe couldn't figure it out, but the goal just now gave him a tactical idea.

"Luo, you're amazing, I really scored a goal."

Rossi said: "It's Francis who passed well, and your header is also powerful, I heard a 'bang' from such a distance."

Elfik smiled even more.

In the first half, Bournemouth took the lead thanks to an Elfik goal in stoppage time.

At half-time, Eddie Howe laid out his second-half tactics, allowing the centre-backs to step forward appropriately and compete for headers.

At the start of the second half, the tactic worked well.

The frequent forward insertion of Cook and Elfik can not only free up the attacking ability of the midfield.

When they are in the box, the ability to head the ball is also unleashed.

Rotherham was almost pressed and beaten.

If it was a draw now, they would have accepted such a "devastation", but the score was behind and they could no longer hold on.

In the 60th minute, Danny Ward, who tried to force his way through, was cut off by Suhrman, who immediately launched a counterattack and distributed the ball to Rossi on the weak side.

Before receiving the ball, Rossi looked up to observe his teammate's movement and quickly distributed the ball to central midfielder Harry.

Smallwood is closest to him and should be the first to be replaced.

But his mission is to defend Rossi alone, and the others don't care.

But if he doesn't do it, Harry can advance with the ball and threaten the goal.

But what about Rosie?

Just as he hesitated, Rosie quickly activated and flashed past him.

Smallwood hurriedly turned to chase back, but by the moment Rossi had already received Harry's pass and pushed towards the penalty area.

Francis's set of edges was cut in to take away the defence, and Rossi faced the centre-back Arnasson.

Swing forward with your left foot and forward with your right foot.

Rossi used a simple "pendulum pass" to shake off the defense and smash into the box.

[Nice pass, the defender falls to the ground and is shaken off.] 】

[Smallwood is chasing, is there a chance!]

！ 】

[Luo Chuan to the door, knock on the door! ]

！ 】

[The ball goes in, a shot from Wilson.] 】

[Most of this goal is due to Luo. He used his own 'pendulum pass' to shake the defender to the ground and then pass the ball to goal. 】

[In modern football, there are very few people who use this way to get rid of defense. Because of the high requirements for the core and knees, many players now directly use the change of direction to shake off the goalkeeper. 】

[However, Luo's 'pendulum pass' gives more confusion and ornamentation, and the speed of changing direction is not fast, which can reduce the burden on the knee and shake the defender down.] 】

[Genius, Luo is really a genius. 】

With a two-goal lead, Bournemouth decided to bring off Rossi in the 75th minute.

Because in midweek, there was a game against Leeds United. At the weekend, it was the fourth round of the FA Cup.

In the end, Bournemouth won comfortably 2-0.

Back in the dressing room, Eddie Howe was pleased with the performance and praised Elfik.

'Your goal was so timely and it was a clarion call for us to fight back.'

Elfik laughed, "That's what Law made me do."

Eddie Howe looked at Rossi with some surprise, impressed by his ability to play.

Not only can you find the opponent's loopholes, but you can also command your teammates and participate in the right offensive tactics.

This is not only a question that can be answered, but also a rush to answer.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
