Chapter 131: Irreplaceable

Falling behind by two goals left Everton's dressing room dead silent.

The opponent is the team with the bottom points, do you want to lose to them today?

In the first round of the league, they were forced to draw by Lyicester City, and they broke a big upset in the first round.

I wanted to be ashamed of this game, but now not only did I not score, but I was also inexplicably scored two by the opponent.

"I have to admit that the opponent's counterattack is very fast."

Martinez circled Mahrez and Vardy on the tactical board and said solemnly: "Both men have good speed and technique, so don't underestimate them in the second half."

The central defenders Stones and Jagielka, who have seen Vardy's speed, dare to despise them, and their eyes are about to erupt with fire in an instant.

There is also that Mahrez, who has very solid dribbling skills at his feet, and he is fast with his feet, and it is really difficult to break the ball off when he defends him alone.

"Also, maybe you didn't pay attention, this person played a very important role in the two counterattacks."

Martinez circled Rossi's name and said: "His retreat is an important point for the Lyrc City team to counterattack. Don't look at him running very little, but he can always be there on the counter-attack. ”

The Everton players were slightly stunned, if it wasn't for the coach, they really wouldn't have found out.

"So, in the second half you have to watch out for him, McCarthy, you have to pay more attention to the passing that you give him. As long as he can't get the ball, Lyster City's counterattack will not be able to play. ”

'It's only two goals behind, we have the advantage on the field, it's not difficult to equalize.'

In the second half, Everton's tactical style of play did not change much, the only change was the marking of Rossi by midfielder McCarthy.

He doesn't need to keep an eye on Rossi all the time, as long as Rossi is in his defensive range or the opponent is in possession of the ball, he will first observe Rossi's position and then get stuck in the passing line.

Professional players have a strong ability to play and can fine-tune the tactics of the head coach according to the changes in the game situation.

The same goes for Everton's defence.

Wherever Rossi moves, close defenders will be the first to mark him.

Such an adjustment made Rossi very uncomfortable, because it was difficult for his teammates to move the ball forward.

For ten minutes, he barely touched the ball.

Pearson quickly spotted the opponent's tactics and immediately made adjustments, with Drinkwater replacing Matthew James to strengthen the midfield's ability to push forward.

Put the team's defensive responsibility on the shoulders of Commander Can.

After Drinkwater's arrival, the organisation of Lyicester City's midfield began to improve, and the Manchester United Academy youngster was able to sort out the team's attack well.

Matthew James and Andy Metal are in attacking midfield and are clearly lacking in organisation.

This season, Pearson promoted Drinkwater in an attempt to establish him as the team's future playmaker.

With McCarthy doing an excellent job of restricting Lyicester City from getting the ball, Martinez decided to attack in the 60th minute.

Gibson's appearance not only strengthened the defensive intensity of the midfield, but also freed up McCarthy's ability to participate in the attack.

Atsu replaced Ross Barkley to give the team a stronger vertical impact in the middle.

In the 65th minute, under the continuous dispatch of Everton, the midfield defense of the Lyrcester City team was too loose, and Lennon seized the opportunity to cut diagonally and exchanged positions with Asut in the middle.

After getting the ball, Lennon, facing Cambiaso's defense, used his speed to pull the defense away to the side, and passed the ball to Naismith, who was empty behind Commander Cambias.

Upson stepped forward to intercept and let full-back Koncheski cover the space behind him.

However, Naismith and Lukaku in the front end completed a one-two and successfully entered the penalty area.

The 200-pound center is rooted in the penalty area, not to mention grabbing the ball, and even pushing can't push him a single hair.

Morgan watched the two complete the combination, and after passing the returning Drinkwater, Naismith volleyed home.

The Goodison Park course, which had been silent for a long time, finally boiled.

The goal that the home fans were waiting for has finally arrived.

[Wonderful goal, from the combination of Naismith and Lukaku.] 】

[The two cleverly two-one-one in front of the Leicester City penalty area, and the opponent has no choice. 】

[This is the suppression of the body, even Morgan is difficult to shake Lukaku.] In the first half, there were many missed chances, and in the second half it was for his team-mates to score. 】

In the face of a strong opponent, Pearson was also helpless, and Everton's sudden pressure made the team's defense feel a huge sense of pressure.

"Mr. Martinez, how dare you fight like this. He wasn't at all worried about Lyrcester's counterattack. Gerald said.

Although this attack relied on the cooperation of Naismith and Lukaku, the full-backs were also very important to help the two reduce the defensive pressure.

But if the attack does not go well, Lyicester City's counterattack will directly attack the vacancy on the side of Everton.

Henry said: "If the back froze Ronaldo's counter-attack, Everton will have no worries. Although Vardy is fast, the central defender position is not easy to step forward, and there is still a chance to defend him. ”

In Thierry Henry's view, it is too early for Vardy to rely on his individual ability to take on the defensive front.

His ability to combine the ball and the ball is not up to the level of a first-class striker.

"If it were you, you should be able to clean up the defense."

Although Gerald said it easily, Henry, who was at his peak, definitely had such terrifying abilities.

After the goal, Pearson made a change, with Ulloa replacing Riyad Mahrez as a lone arrow, changing the formation to 4-4-1-1.

Rossi was pushed down in the midfield position and Pearson wanted him to use his passing and running to tear down the defence.

But this area happens to be the area where the opponent's trio is sandwiched.

Everton's 4-2-3-1 formation will be surrounded by a three-man wherever Rossi moves.

Pearson didn't think of this, so he deployed Schlupp and Vardy on both flanks, ready to pick up Rossi.

However, this tactical adjustment did not bring opportunities to the Leicester City team.

The first was the upward pressure of Everton's two full-backs, limiting the pace and depth of Lyicester's two wings.

Even if they force a breakthrough, Everton's two backs can also make up for the defense laterally in time.

Then there is that Lyicester City's counterattack is a long pass and rapid attack, and Rossi, as a forward midfielder, has too a single way to get rid of the ball, and has no ability to get rid of defense, and is easy to be targeted for defense.

Naturally, the counterattack can't be played.

The game came to 78 minutes, during which time Lyicester City was pressed to the ground and rubbed, unable to fight back.

Pearson vaguely felt that he would lose the ball sooner or later if he continued like this, and thought to himself that since Rossi couldn't adapt in the forward midfield position, he replaced Rossi with Andy King.

With more than 10 minutes left in the game, it is normal for people to take a lead by one goal and adopt a more solid defense.

Unexpectedly, after Gerrard and Henry, who were watching the game, saw that Rossi was replaced, they stood up together, the two looked at each other and smiled, and turned to leave.

"What do you think will happen in this match?" Gerrard asked as he walked, his eyes not focused on the game at all.

Henry is the same, with only the stairs under his feet in his eyes, and without thinking, he says: "Draw or the home team wins."

"I think so too. Some players, don't look at him for not doing anything on the field, but once you leave him, the situation will change differently. ”

In other words, if you don't know where he is good, no one can replace him.

As soon as the two of them walked to the parking garage, they heard deafening cheers from inside the stadium.

"Equalized!"

The two said in unison, then laughed, drove their respective luxury cars, and left the court.

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