Chapter 179: Leave the venue amid applause

At the end of the first half, Lyicester City led by two goals on the road.

Claudio Ranieri was pleased with the form of his players, and it took a good first half to get the perfect first half with a strict pre-arranged tactic, as well as aggressive scrambling and running.

Merely...... The opponent seems to be weaker than expected?

"Rowe, you've played here, tell me about how they played in the first half?"

Ranieri doesn't believe last season's Championship title will be like this.

I thought it would be a tough race.

'They were really out of form in the first half. Rossi said bluntly: "When I was here last season, the team was very good at playing against the wind, and it was common to fall behind first and then overtake. ”

His words were not alarmist, and the Lyrcester players remember them very well.

In last season's Carabao Cup, the two teams met once.

Coming City were overturned with a two-goal lead.

"Luo, that's because you're here!" Morgan quipped.

'Bournemouth have kept a lot of key players this season, they have been tested all season and have a strong mental quality.

Rossi's firm tone made everyone skeptical.

Ranieri pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then let's observe the second half first, everyone has to cheer up, don't relax." ”

After a short fifteen minutes, the two sides entered the second half.

After the whistle blew, the Bournemouth players began their familiar pressing up front.

There is a difference between pressing and oppressing.

Pressing, is to block the opponent's passing route and force the opponent to make mistakes in passing.

And pressing is to actively find physical confrontation, use ferocious interception, and cut off the opponent's ball.

After a relaxed first half, the pressure on Danny Drinkwater suddenly increased.

Although he dropped back to pick up the ball between the two centre-backs, he was met with a quick run from Wilson.

Morgan and Huth had no choice but to spread to the flanks to create space to get the ball.

Facing pressing up front is a time to test a midfielder's organisational skills and big-picture vision.

It is not only necessary to observe the position of the enemy and the enemy around you, but also choose the right line to play the ball.

After the ball is played, you have to run actively, find a gap, and receive the pass.

Instead of passing the ball out and ignoring it.

This will cause the teammate to be surrounded by the opponent and lose the ball.

From the start of the season, Ranieri wanted to develop Drinkwater's playmaking skills, hoping that he could become the metronome of the team's attack.

Judging by the performances in the previous games, Drinkwater is really trying to do it, and it's doing well.

However, there is still a gap between those midfield masters and their awareness of passing and receiving.

"Danny, run, pick it up!" Ranieri urged from the sidelines.

Like the ability of consciousness, in addition to talent, players can only let themselves comprehend in actual combat.

All external learning is just the foundation, and the upper limit is the midstream team.

The current Drinkwater has limited talent and can only rely on himself to accumulate experience in actual combat.

Last season, he was rotated as a substitute, and this season he has become a starting midfielder, and Drinkwater is well aware of the manager's trust in him and his promotion.

In the first half, under N'Golo Kante's interception, he and Andy King were in the midfield position, and the defensive pressure was obviously less, and the ball was very easy.

In the second half, Bournemouth stepped up their pressing and his ball was not as easy as before.

Run, answer.

Drinkwater's mind kept silent.

After passing the ball, they will choose a vacuum area close to their teammates, ready to receive it at any time.

When teammates advance with the ball, they will also appear behind the side to make a protective response.

Keep passing, running, and responding, so that you can connect the whole midfield.

Ten minutes passed, and Drinkwater felt his breathing begin to rapid.

Constantly observing, running, receiving, and passing the ball is not only a drain on physical fitness, but also a test of spirit.

Under his combing, the team controlled the ball firmly at their feet for ten minutes.

Kante's pullback help also shared a lot of pressure on him.

Seeing that the pressure was not a threat, Eddie Howe waved his hand and the two full-backs also stepped forward to continue to put pressure on the opposition defence.

[To tell the truth,Recently chased more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,.yeguoyueduAndroidApple can be.】 】

Bournemouth were eager to attack, both in attack and on the counter-attack, and they were very ferocious.

The fiery atmosphere also spread.

Especially on the two flanks, they are the key battlegrounds for both sides.

Wilson took turns behind the two wing-backs, which led to yellow cards for Schlupp and De Laette.

In the 65th minute, Ranie replaced Delaette with Ben Arouane, switching Kante and Drinkwater to stabilize the defence.

Under the frantic pressing of Bournemouth, it is difficult for Lyicester City to move on the wing.

In the 75th minute, in order to increase the pace of the counter-attack, Ranieri brought on Dodu, who had scored a hat-trick in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and removed Albrighton.

Joseph Dodu, who had just come on the pitch, was called up by Rossi to the center forward position.

Bournemouth pressed very hard in midfield, and Rossi had no chance up front and had to drop back to pick up.

Dodu not only has the speed, but also the height advantage, allowing him to be at the front as a fulcrum.

But he was born as a full-back, and his ability to respond in the center is simply not flattering.

In the 70th minute, one of the few opportunities for Lyrcester City to pass the ball from the back to the opponent's half.

Rossi saw that Dodu was ready to take the ball with his back, so he pushed the ball directly without stopping, and then quickly stepped forward and motioned for his teammates to do it back.

But Dodu, who was stunned, wanted to confront O'Kane physically, and then forcibly turned around.

Halfway through the run, Rossi saw that his teammate had no intention of passing the ball, so he reluctantly stopped, and then moved behind Dodu.

Dodu took the ball and completed a half-turn, and just as he was proud, the ball at his feet was stabbed out by O'Kane.

Ranieri on the sidelines was so angry that he jumped up and expressed his displeasure towards Dodu.

Fortunately, Rossi correctly predicted the line of the ball and went to pick it up as soon as possible.

He looked up ahead and then kept the ball on the ball and passed it through the gap between the left centre-back and the left wing-back.

Here, Jamie Vardy was in place to get the ball into the box.

Cook turned to chase back and, as he approached the six-yard box, saw Vardy get up on his feet and shoot straight into the tackle, putting his whole body across his line.

Jamie Vardy's shot was disrupted and the ball hit the side-netting, sending the home fans in a cold sweat.

"Look at the position, pass the ball!" Rossi communicated with Dodu for the first time, "You have to hold the ball first, catch up with your teammates, don't go it alone." ”

Dodo moved from Under-18s to Under-21s in the summer, scoring a hat-trick in the Carabao Cup before Ranieri moved him to the first team and move to Bournemouth.

His individual ability is worthy of recognition, but for the current Lyicester City squad, it is still a little uncomfortable to match.

Dodu was also immersed in the midweek game against League Two sides, chopping melons and chopping vegetables.

He originally wanted to use his personal ability to clear the obstacles for Rossi and then pass an empty chance.

But this is the Premier League, and the intensity and pace are not at all in the first class.

Just facing the back of the waist, it was eaten to death.

"Got it, big brother!" Dodu nodded vigorously.

Eldest brother?

When will I become your big brother!

Now, in the minds of the young players in the team's echelon, Rossi has become their object of admiration.

This is an idol who has come out of his own youth training!

In the 80th minute, Ranieri saw that the situation was decided, replacing Rossi with Hammond, and also hoped that he could get applause from the home fans.

Sure enough, when the fourth official raised the sign, the fans at Dean Court Stadium stood up and gave the warmest applause.

Rossi walked off the pitch with his hands raised and thanked the Bournemouth fans for the applause.

Life is short, and they are fortunate enough to witness Rossi's rise, but unfortunately they do not see his peak.

Although he can't accompany him to the top, these waving hands will always be at Dean Court Stadium, playing a triumphant song.

When the applause around him was surging like a tide, Rossi's eyes flashed with tears.

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