Chapter 116

Lambert couldn't bear it any longer. The scene was clearly dominant, but the opponent's counterattack was sharper than his own.

The opponent's center forward plays a very obvious role as a fulcrum in series.

Although he is not particularly tall, he has a very good sense of fighting for the top, and his judgment of the ball's landing point is also very accurate.

What a treasure!
With the activeness of all Bournemouth players, Villa did not find a chance, but tried to take a long shot from the outside to threaten the goal.

If this is the case, Eddie Howe is not worried. This is just the data on the scene and cannot prove anything.

Even if you shoot [-] shots in the audience, but you don't threaten the goal, it's a volley.

If you score a goal with just a few shots, that's efficiency.

In the 10 minutes of the first half, Villa's shooting and ball possession rate were far higher than their opponents.

But apart from the slightly threatening two-foot shot before the opening, the rest are not flattering.

Villa chairman Randy Lerner was on the podium, savoring the game impassively.

As a football player, he can see the formation of the two coaches for the game.

Bournemouth's oppressive style of play achieved very obvious results after the opening, and the two counterattacks also made the team dare not press on offense.

This is a very bold style of play. The players have a very high ability to execute the head coach's tactics. No wonder they can achieve an unbeaten record in the British Championship.

But how long can such a high position press last?

60 minutes?

70 minutes?

As long as there is a problem with physical fitness, it will be difficult to maintain such a high-intensity oppression, and then it will be time for the own team to counterattack.

After Randy Lerner bought the team, the team's recent peak was entering the League Cup final in 2010, but unfortunately lost to the Red Devils Manchester United.

But in the next few seasons, the team struggled to be around fifteenth in the standings, and it was one step away from the relegation zone. He was very eager to get the team out of the relegation zone completely.

Lambert has led the team for three seasons, and the team's performance has not improved. If they lose in the FA Cup, Randy Lerner will definitely fire him after the game.

Tonight, Lambert was blocked by the "hooligans" from Bournemouth, and he was a little embarrassed.

The momentum of the home fans has not weakened, but Villa did not find a very good opportunity. Lambert's heart is already a little flustered.

He was worried, worried that his opponent, like in the Liverpool game, kept running, kept the tie, and participated in the replay.

His mission is to win the battle.

At this point, Eddie Howe doesn't care.

As Hill's long-range shot flew to the stands, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

In terms of scenes and statistics, Villa is crushing, and Eddie Howe's team has been crushed.

But the draw does not satisfy the fans.

"Everyone has done a good job. The second half of the game will be more stringent. Can you persist?"

After Eddie Howe entered the locker room, he hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and drink water, and take the time to rest.

The chests of the players kept rising and falling, and the water in their mouths prevented them from answering the head coach's questions immediately.

But they looked at Eddie Howe with firm eyes and gave him an affirmative answer.

"Okay, then we will continue to play like this in the second half, keep the goal, especially pay attention to Benteke, I feel that in the second half, he has more opportunities."

The second half is the real start.

If the first eight 10 minutes are a test of the players' skills, body, tactics and coordination, then the last 10 minutes are a test of the players' will and physical fitness.

At this point, Eddie Howe is confident enough.

At the beginning of the second half, Villa kicked off. They still followed the tactics of the first half, passing the ball around the perimeter and looking for opportunities.

The only difference is that the full-backs on the strong side will step in and participate in the side attack, and the defense will become a back three.

It looked like Lambert wanted to try and attack and see how hard Bournemouth's defense was in the second half.

In the 48th minute, the right back Hutton, in cooperation with his teammates, put in the edge and swept the ball to the goal near the baseline.

Under Cook's interference, center Benteke took off to fight for the top, but failed to top the strength and was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Two minutes later, Hutton came in again, and after taking away the defense, Hill entered the penalty area from the wing, chose to volley with his left foot, and was saved by the goalkeeper.

Both attacks were initiated from the wing, and Benteke played a containment role in the penalty area.

Although he didn't score a goal, he was already threatening the goal step by step.

In the first half, the reason why Bournemouth's defense was successful was that Rich and Harry continued to cover the defensive area on both sides, suppressing the opponent's offense on one side.

It can be said that the two were the biggest contributors to the team's draw in the first half.

But after the start of the second half, with the pressure of Villa's midfielder and full-backs, Bournemouth's rib protection was slightly weak.

Moreover, there is a lack of interception in the middle, and Villa's lateral transfer can easily hit the weak side area.

The reason for this phenomenon is the physical fitness of the two.

Although they only played for 45 minutes, the two were the busiest people running without the ball.

In addition, after the start of the second half, Villa used the wing to suddenly speed up, which caught the defense a little off guard.

After these two shots, Bournemouth's defense began to stabilize, and Eddie Howe asked Rossi to retreat appropriately to block their lateral transfer line.

Although this worked well, Bournemouth's formation was gradually being compressed and compressed very flat.

In the absence of deep protection, it is much easier for Hill to get the ball in the ribs.

In the 58th minute, after Villa established an advantage on the right, Bacuna passed the ball to Hill, who was in the ribs.

Harry's defense was obviously a bit slow, and he couldn't catch up in time.

Benteke cuts diagonally, taking away Cook's defense, and Bakuna, who just passed the ball, also moves forward quickly.

After observing his teammate's running position, Hill passed directly to Bacuna, who inserted diagonally from the right.

Cook could only give up his defense against Benteke and pounce on Bakuna who was holding the ball.

Bacuna observed the position of his teammates. Benteke's lateral movement attracted another central defender Elphick. At the front of the penalty area, Hill was unguarded.

opportunity!

Bacuna returned the ball, and Hill adjusted his pace while running, and pushed the bottom left corner of the goal with the back of his foot.

The ball flew close to the ground, drawing a small arc, not only avoiding Elphick's blockage, but also perfectly bypassing goalkeeper Kemp's fingertips and rushing into the dead corner of the goal.

The belated goal ignited the atmosphere of the home fans, and the cheers burst into the sky like thunder.

[GOAL! ! 】

[Beautiful push, teenager Hill, opened the first goal of joining the team. 】

[The idea of ​​this tactic is very clear. Use the sideways to pull the defense line in the center, and Hill will complete the fatal blow at the front of the penalty area. 】

[Villa finally showed their fangs and scored first at home. 】

Eddie Haupi grinned, the ball was played too beautifully, there was no other way.

Their individual abilities are too strong.

Now that the team is behind, his tactic of keeping the tie has failed. Next, the team has to strengthen its offense.
