Chapter 114: Their own plays

With a burst of exclamations from the home fans, head coach Paul Lambert instantly bounced up from his seat in the rest area, rushed to the command area, and pointed at the stadium and cursed.

"Are you all deaf and can't hear the opening whistle?"

"Are you all blind and can't see the forward insertion of the opposing striker?"

Two consecutive pressing questions made Villa's players blush.

Just seconds into the game, Bournemouth kicked off the ball in the centre circle and used a pass to break through three defences.

Three ways.

This is blatant theft.

The home fans were silent, and the players were even more shocked into a cold sweat.

This kick-off offensive tactic is not secretly practiced many times behind the scenes, who believes it!

Harry Art's movement is smart and key to this attack.

A simple forward and retreat left Villa's defence hesitant, and Bournemouth's forward trident, like three daggers, plunged into their heart.

Thankfully, Ryan Frazier's shot didn't go back in the net and almost made team history, no, the fastest goal conceded in the entire English league.

They don't want to carry this shame.

Paul Lambert is on the verge of getting out of class, and this game is about his position, and he has made very careful arrangements before the game to try to win.

But he was almost caught off guard by his opponent at the beginning.

Under his rage, Villa's players finally put away their carelessness and threw themselves into corner kick defense.

"Boss, if they practice more, maybe this goal will go in." The assistant coach said to Eddie Howe.

This opening tactic was deployed before the game, and the players did not practice it in training, so the effect was naturally unsatisfactory.

Eddie Howe shook his head and said, "If you rehearse in advance, the effect is not good, it is better to let them play on the spot, without limitations."

He doesn't expect this attack to score, his aim is to give his players confidence with this quick counter-attack.

Harry whipped in a corner from the left, which was headed over by Bentekeke.

Bournemouth defended against the Belgian striker Benteke.

In his first two seasons at Villa, he scored 19 and 10 goals in the league and was the team's top scorer.

Liverpool are said to be already eyeing him and this summer, there is hope for a move to the giants.

The header just now was cleared, and he achieved an absolute advantage in the physical confrontation with Cook.

Bournemouth won the ball outside the box and O'Kane looked for no spot and shot straight over the crossbar with interference.

This long-range shot, he was confident that it would shoot into the goal.

But when he got to his feet, the opponent's defensive interception was already in place, and the angle of the shot became smaller.

It can also be seen from here that Villa has done a pretty good job of protecting the two-penalty kick.

Villa's possession.

Midfielder Hill pushed the ball into the half pitch and was pressed by a Bournemouth player.

Eddie Howe knows very well that against a Premier League team, you can't keep it.

Long-term passive defense will make the players tired and cause physical consumption too quickly, and the spirit will also be tormented, and it must be properly pressed.

Half-court defense can not only ensure the reasonable depth of the defensive line, avoid being pressed too flat, but also have appropriate space for counterattack.

The opening counterattack was to let Villa know that Bournemouth had the speed to counterattack in front.

In the opening ten minutes, Villa had the ball and passed the ball through the Bournemouth half, looking for a chance.

However, their full-backs did not dare to press too far forward, resulting in a delay in attacking.

Bournemouth defended very tightly and were very aggressive on the top, trying to squeeze the opposition's attack as much as possible on one side, with Harry and O'Kane in charge of intercepting the pass.

The small area of pressing has left Villa with very few options in the attacking direction, and can only pass back to their own half, or long passes to the side.

Lambert spotted Bournemouth's defensive tactics and immediately made adjustments to bring up the full-backs, but not too far forward, with the aim of reducing the pressure in midfield.

Also, let the youngster Hill organize the attack, use his speed and dribbling to get the ball out of the bag.

Hill, who came through the Valencia Academy, has the delicate skills of the Spaniard's feet and is a very active runner, able to receive passes from his teammates quickly.

In the 15th minute, Hill took advantage of his excellent dribbling ability to take the ball out of the flank.

Seeing this, Eddie Howe roared from the sidelines, reminding Wilson to be actively involved in defense.

After taking the ball out of the wing, Hill looked ahead, Benteke had dropped back to bring Cook's defence out, and winger Klevelley was ready to cut in diagonally behind Cook.

Taking advantage of Richie's lack of return to the defensive position, Hill sent a delicate through ball near the centre circle and hit Cook behind.

Centre-back Elfik was a timely follow-up to Klevigli and pressed him down the wing.

Bournemouth defended quickly and Klevelly couldn't see a team-mate on target, opting to force a shot but it slid out.

The addition of Hill has greatly improved Villa's ability to control the ball in the midfield.

Unlike England's traditional quick passage through midfield, Hill uses movement to transform a local combination into a full-pitch combination.

And he has the ability to make good quality passes after getting rid of the defense.

Three minutes later, Hill used his ability again to hold the ball down the middle, observed Benteke digging into the gap between the ribs and half-turned to send the ball away with a sideways turn.

Benteke picked up the ball sideways on the edge of the box and was tackled before he could adjust his body.

With his sideways face to the goal, he hurriedly made a kick, but unfortunately the quality of his right-footed shot was not high, and it did not form a spin and flew off the baseline.

After these two attacks, Eddie Howe was immediately alert, telling his players not to easily get down to grab the ball and block the passing lane.

After this small adjustment, Hill no longer had a chance to send the ball forward in midfield, and the Villa team began to pass the ball back and look for opportunities.

Bournemouth had no chance other than the opening shot because the ball was at their feet.

Even if he grabbed the ball, it was quickly counter-robbed, and the attack could not be pushed into the Villa penalty area at all.

These are all expected by Eddie Howe, because the strength of the opponent is significantly higher than his own.

From the fifteenth minute onwards, the team's pressing had gradually lost its pressure, and Villa were able to calmly pass the ball before the scramble.

Another point is that when Eddie Howe lets players get up for grabs, try not to foul them.

Because Villa's passing rhythm is inferior to the Championship team. Rushing up to grab not only has to eat cards, but also is easy to make mistakes, resulting in a vacancy behind you.

What the players have to do now is to hold on.

With most of the ball at the opponent's feet, Rossi had no chance up front and could only retreat appropriately to participate in the defense.

Beside him, defenders Okore and Clarke have been marking him all the time, not involved in attacking and passing.

This is Lambert's defensive tactic explained in advance.

For this Rossi, who has killed all sides in the Championship, he does not dare to slack off.

In order to stifle his forward movement, Lambert deliberately pressed the centre-backs up, almost to the top of the centre circle.

In this way, even if the opponent passes the ball, this long-distance run of nearly 40 meters, with Rossi's speed, cannot get rid of the defender's defense.

While his strengths are excellent, they are also weaknesses and weaknesses, at least for now.

As for the future, I can't say for sure.

Ooh!

There was a burst of exclamations at home, which made Lambert suddenly sober up.

O'Kane's tackle sent Hill to the ground, and the referee didn't stop the game.

Hill's footwork is excellent, but he hasn't fully adapted to the physical confrontation of the Premier League.

And O'Kane's tackle is also on the verge of fouling, if it is in La Liga, it may blow it.

But this is in the Premier League.

After a successful steal, O'Kane passed to the front, Rossi was on the front and back, and Wilson quickly cut in on the wing.

The defensive counter-attack in midweek was once again there.

Amid the huge boos from the fans, Wilson strode the ball and drove straight in.

Full-back Charleson and centre-back Clarke desperately chased back and were not inferior in pace.

Wilson, who couldn't get rid of the defense, chose to shoot directly, but the target was ridiculously off.

Although there was no goal, the combination and tactics played out, and it acted as a deterrent, and Eddie Howe applauded and motivated the players.

Kick like this, you have a chance.

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