Chapter 108: Koeman's 80-Minute Declaration, a Doomed Tragedy (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Recycling! Reclaim! Tighten it up a little more! ”

Since the start of the third round of the FA Cup, Everton manager Koeman has been standing on the sidelines and waving at the back, fully reflecting the team's main tactics for this game.

They didn't have a head to win, but instead followed the example of Leicester's opponents in the first two games and opted for a way to recycle the defence.

Swing the bus!

It's a hard pendulum!

Chen Yufeng's speculation has become a reality, Leicester City will indeed encounter a lot of teams that play like this in the subsequent games, and the outside world has really begun to treat them as a strong team.

This is very normal, and when this perception is reversed, you will find that there are a lot fewer teams that like the top iron.

For example, in the Spanish League, when other teams face Real Madrid and Barcelona, will they form a five-to-five formation and play against them?

It's impossible because that means you have a ninety percent chance of losing.

There is still a glimmer of life in the counterattack, and the attack is purely looking for death.

Even strong teams like Atletico Madrid and Sevilla are likely to appear in front of Real Sa on the defensive.

The difference between them and the middle and lower teams is that the counterattack is sharper, the defense is more solid, and the overall win rate will be higher.

Nothing else.

Of course, this is not so obvious in the Premier League, the Premier League does not have an absolute hegemonic team, there are many strong teams fighting each other, and the winning rate is five or six four, and there will not be a very easy side.

But even if it's not obvious enough, there are still some of them.

Leicester's terrifying win rate last season and the first half of this season, as well as their astonishing consistency against mid-table teams, have gradually turned their miracle blue into a dominant blue in the Premier League.

Any team in the middle and lower reaches will now regard them as the Real Sa of La Liga, and Dort and Bayern in the Bundesliga.

If you want to win, get your posture right, get the bus out and don't have too much desire to move forward blindly on the field.

Again, against Leicester City, the stronger the desire to win on the pitch, the more likely you are to lose.

Vice versa.

Would Coman really want to win?

No, if he really wanted to win, he would have sent a full squad to play.

But would Coman really want to lose outright?

No, if you want to lose directly, it's good to pull the whole bench lineup, and there is no need for the rotation lineup of the first half of the main team.

All he wants is to give the few players in the squad a chance and try the bus tactic with Leicester City, who have been in the limelight lately.

The bus sounds simple, but it is actually difficult to set it up.

It's a test of the team's synergy in defending in depth, the chemistry between the defenders, and the perseverance of the players.

If today's experiment can be successful, this tactic will be the best tactic for Everton against strong teams in the future!

That's what Coman had in mind!

Therefore, he will not be less than everything he should have, but he will lack the fanatical pursuit of victory.

He believes it will be a good state of mind.

After all, previous success stories are in front of you, and only by approaching this mentality can the team use this tactic well to defeat the strong and immediately defeat the strong.

"Don't panic! Hold our ground, be patient and look for opportunities! ”

After discovering Everton's style of play, Chen Yufeng, as the captain, quickly took on the responsibility of calming the mentality of the players.

Leicester City had just pulled the ball in the last game, and he was afraid that the players would have a psychological burden when they encountered this kind of technique and tactics.

"Pass the ball faster! Create a local one-on-two or two-on-three opportunity! ”

Since the number of local people really can't take advantage of anything, what Chen Yufeng wants can only be a local duel where the other party only has one more.

This is the best solution, they are more capable individually, and if they create such chances, they have the potential to score points.

"Believe in yourself! When this kind of opportunity comes out, be resolute! We can do it! ”

Chen Yufeng kept shouting that this is something that every team needs, and they need a backbone to stand up and tell the players what to do.

After playing football for so many years, the basic ball quotient and game understanding must still be there.

There are things that don't need to be said by the manager, they just need to be on the same page, and they may be successful in a certain way of attacking!

In the following period, Leicester's attack gradually picked up, and they created local head-to-head duels through rapid transmission, and everyone appeared very determined.

If you want to pass the ball straight, then go straight, if you want to pass you, then pass you, there is nothing to discuss.

Although they may not be successful, at least, you can only create opportunities if you dare to do it.

If you are not willing to take risks and responsibilities, then you will not gain anything.

This Leicester City, since the beginning of this season, has gradually regarded Chen Yufeng as the soul of the team.

Now, the players' trust in Chen Yufeng has deepened, and they naturally obey what Chen Yufeng said and called for tactical coordination.

Is everything about Chen Yufeng right?

That's impossible, people make mistakes.

But no matter what, they have to work together with the captain and let the captain find a way to lead everyone to win!

"Bang bang bang!"

In the 27th minute, Riyad Mahrez combined with Drinkwater and others on the left flank, tearing apart the opposition defence through a few quick short passes.

Then, in a one-on-one with Mori, Mahrez completely dominated, shaking his opponent down and then completing a cross.

"Bang!" Klose, who was outflanked in the middle, quickly shook his head and slammed the door, but unfortunately there was a sound of iron struck: "Bang! ”

Crossbeam!

Just a little bit!

Many people in Leicester City immediately covered their faces, but then everyone stood up in unison and clapped their hands in encouragement.

"It's okay Klose! It's close! It's close! Don't be discouraged! ”

'We can do it, it's a good start, two more chances like this, whether it's Vardy or Klose, they have a chance to score!'

"Come on brothers! Come on! ”

Everyone retreated in unison, retreating towards their positions, waiting for the next opportunity.

Seven minutes later, it was N'Golo Kante who stepped in and slotted in a cross.

He rarely passes the ball like that, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the ability.

After such a long period of fast-paced game experience, you are Wang Qiuming standing here, and you can't pass too outrageous balls.

Kante is not stupid, and his learning ability is still very strong.

Although the technology is not very delicate, the basic things are not bad.

"Bang!"

It was a bit of a pity, and after the pass to the back post, it was Jamie Vardy who fought for the head.

Jamie Vardy wasn't very good at heading and he wasn't tall, so the ball flew straight under the ball.

It is conceivable that if Klose were standing here, there was a high probability that he would be able to push the ball in one head.

"Hell."

Ranieri, who was on the sidelines, complained with some regret, and then clapped his hands in encouragement: "Keep coming, we're really close!" ”

Encouragement can be fake, but it can't be without.

No matter how strong and tenacious a person is, after wasting the opportunity, he will feel guilty and self-blame.

If you don't help him get rid of this thought, it will affect the person's state.

An encouraging team is definitely better than a complaining team.

Don't talk about separating on and off the field, can this really be separated?

The pressure blame is the pressure blame, and the good person is the good person!

Is there more negative or positive feedback for team members? A discerning person can see it at a glance.

…………

"Beep! Beep ——! ”

When the first half entered the third minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the half.

The two sides drew 0-0 at half-time and returned to the dressing room for a break.

Leicester City didn't have much on their side, and it was easier to cheer on when they returned, and Ranieri also made some customary instructions on the problem.

Overall, the offensive intensified in the following period, which gave them the confidence to win the game.

As for Everton......

It was a bit of a surprise as they played ugly football and kept giving Leicester chances, and it seemed like there wasn't much time left before the goal was breached.

But Mr Koeman praised the players in the dressing room.

"We did a great job! Impeccable! Did you know? ”

'We didn't let the opponent score, that's enough, our goal today is to try out a new tactic and complete a real defensive lesson!'

"As for the rest, fuck it!"

'The facts are right in front of you, the last time we faced Leicester we conceded two goals in the first half, but this time we didn't concede in the first half.

"That's a step forward! Do you understand? ”

Coman banged on the table passionately, saliva constantly flying out of his mouth, and the whole person was completely oblivious.

Is it because the team is really improving?

Or is it because he feels that maintaining this optimistic and positive mindset has a chance of winning from this game?

No one else knows.

They could only see one, Mr. Koeman, who was almost insane.

"In the second half, keep your defensive hardness and coordination!"

"There is no particularly good opportunity, don't go too far ahead, don't send too many troops up when attacking, and avoid being trapped!"

"Got it?"

"Although the FA Cup is not a points system, a draw will have to be replayed, but our goal in this game is to go for a draw, you know?"

"If you can stay until 80 minutes, I'll make a quick substitution and then change the situation with a strong twist to fight back and try to win."

"You don't need to have any ideas until then!"

"Remember that, come on!"

Koeman high-fived his players one by one, his expression always blazing, as if the team was now 3-0 up and was going to step up the attack in the second half.

Hearing this, the players who were emotionally aroused could only comfort themselves, maybe Mr. Coman saw hope from them and was happy from the bottom of his heart......

After all, in terms of the result of the first half, they did a good job.

Process?

The process is naturally put aside?

Many Everton players thought of this step by step, and gradually deceived themselves into it.

What do you watch when you don't look at the results of a football game?

As long as the result is good, even if they are pressed by Leicester City to play the whole game, then they can walk out of the stadium with their heads held high!

As for whether the Goodison Park fans will boo them, that's not certain.

…………

"Bang!"

As soon as the second half began, Everton's side handed over the ball directly, and Lukaku's assumed shot from 40 yards out didn't even fly in front of Schmeichel before defender Morgan stopped with his feet.

Everton recycled their formation again and made a stumbling appearance.

Koeman on the side of the pitch was not ashamed, but proud, holding his chest high with his hands behind his back, and he didn't know that he really thought he was playing against him.

"Hoohoo, hoo, ......!" Unsurprisingly, the boos from the home fans at Goodison Park soon rang out, and the Everton fans were voicing their displeasure.

It was a game that even they didn't expect the team to win.

But it's a game, so you have to let them see something, right?

What to watch now?

How hard is their backline and how good can a goalkeeper save?

"Shet, this kind of game that has always been scared and never stirred my emotions, I don't want to watch it anymore." Some fans sighed.

And just after they sighed, Leicester scored a goal.

"Bang!" This is a long pass from Mahrez, the football was looking for the middle, but because the power control was not in place, it flew towards Chen Yufeng by mistake.

"Let's take a look at the middle lane to grab points!"

Sina Sports commentator Xu Yang sat in the commentary seat, and after shouting excitedly, he instantly wilted, "This is a beautiful large-scale transfer, look at Chen Yufeng." ”

Because Mahrez's 'transfer ball' was too hidden, it was really difficult for the Everton defenders to react, and Chen Yufeng got a long-lost one-on-one opportunity.

This is a matchup without suspense.

"Chen Yufeng! Breakthrough! It's ready to do...... Ah, it's gone! He's done with an easy break! ”

"Is it a cross?"

"No, I smashed the ball and hit the inside area!"

"Neither Baines nor Holgate defended him, he rushed inside like a beast!"

"You can't give him a one-on-one chance, as long as he gets the space and time, he can live the whole thing!"

"Because when the first one-on-one starts, the rest of the people who come up are all one-on-one in a short period of time!"

Xu Yang also used the stalk to explain to the audience in front of the TV with a smile: "We quote a scene from the classic animation to give to Everton's defensive players, that is, the gourd baby saves grandpa!" ”

"Chen Yufeng came to the inside position, and this is the first great opportunity he got in this game!"

"Come and see! Kick the door! ”

As soon as he said his words, Chen Yufeng's left foot touched the middle of the ball and pumped the ball towards the goal.

Everyone thought it was a shot into the far corner, even the fans in the stands thought so.

But......

"Huh!" Before they could react, the ball had already flown into the net from the inside post in the near corner!

The ball is in!

Corkscrew Chen Yufeng!

A wonderful long-range shot!

"Oh......! This ball is beautiful! It's a kick to the ground and slashing the world wave! ”

Xu Yang's voice suddenly increased an octave, "Don't give him too good a chance, because he will not hesitate to kill the game!" ”

"Even if it is immersed, only a small moment, it is an immeasurable effect!"
