Chapter 37 You Think I'm Warming Up?
During the halftime break, Eddie Howe clapped his hands and encouraged: "Everyone did a good job in the first half. We only conceded one goal, and we can recover it in the second half."

The players were a little bit empty-headed. Facing the Premier League team, they were still attacking and defending, and their physical fitness was tortured badly.

Although only one goal was conceded, following this rhythm, there may be a big crash in the second half.

In this case, if you still want to chase the ball, everything will be fine if you don't get bloodbathed.

"Coach, the opposite side is crazy, stealing fiercely in the midfield, and doesn't give you a chance to breathe."

It was forward Stanislas who was speaking. He retreated from the wing, and as the point of departure in the frontcourt, he suffered the most fouls.

Eddie Howe tapped the tactical board with his fingers, and said seriously: "We are also a team that uses high positions to press, why are we afraid of them?"

He took out a pen, drew a tactical map on the tactical board, and said: "Listen, they are not as strong as you imagined. The so-called high-position press on the opposite side is a tactic that prevents you from taking the ball calmly by blocking the passing line." .And we, it's taking advantage of the grabbing, it's aggressive, it's completely different."

After being mentioned by the head coach, the players seem to regain a little confidence.

In fact, in the first half, the sense of oppression brought to them by the opposite side was the kind of discomfort that made you unable to play the ball, rather than a brutal grab.

"Although Koeman emphasizes entanglement in the midfield, the current team is not strong enough. After the second half starts, I want you to actively fight in the midfield and create opportunities."

Eddie Howe drew two offensive lines on the wing, and said: "Their attack on the wing is very strong, and the defense is also weak. As long as we grab the ball in the midfield, we will immediately switch to these two wings. .”

The tactics are very clear, but the players are worried, with their level, can they grab the ball at the opponent's feet?

The players knew it very well in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out.

Seeing that the team didn't respond, Eddie Howe flickered a little unconfidently, and said, "Why, what's the problem?"

As the captain of the team, Cook stood up and said, "Coach, what if we don't get the ball from them and get kicked behind?"

"They didn't play the pass-and-control style of Barcelona."

A voice echoed in the locker room and reached everyone's ears clearly.

Everyone followed the voice and cast their eyes on Rossi.

"Luo, what are you talking about, why isn't this a pass control?" Cook asked.

Rossi shook his head and said, "I can't say the reason, anyway, it's not."

Eddie Howe said with a smile: "Luo is right. Although Koeman emphasizes pass and control, there are no players with strong organization and running ability in the team. Their so-called pass and control are just faster and small-scale passes. It's just the ball, don't be fooled, you have to dare to grab it."

After saying this, the shadow in the player's heart dissipated.

At the beginning of the second half, all Bournemouth players, as if they had been pumped, pressed wildly in the midfield.

Although the team conceded a lot of goals last season, they are very confident in their offensive ability.

In this way, the unlucky one is the defense.

But facing the Premier League team this time, this is no better than the British Championship, defensive ability and confrontation have risen to a higher level.

In addition, as soon as the start, Southampton attacked crazily, which made them a little bit restrained.

After trying a 10-minute high press, Bournemouth gradually became evenly matched with their opponents in the midfield.

Koeman, who had been calm in the first half, couldn't sit still anymore, and came to the coaching area to direct the battle.

He has led the team for less than a month, and it will take time to fully integrate his tactics into the team.

Moreover, the team has experienced many main players leaving the team. In some key positions, he has not yet found suitable replacements.

If he can strengthen the lineup before the transfer window closes, then this season, he has full confidence to take the team to a higher position.

Facing Bournemouth's aggressive steals, Southampton's midfield control is gradually losing its advantage.

Although Barcelona's pass control is powerful, not every team can perfectly replicate it.

Arsenal's beautiful football belongs to Chuanqie, and what Koeman wants to create is Chuanchu.

Different from the two teams, Koeman hopes that the team will use the passing cooperation in the midfield to find the opponent's weakness, and then use both wings to fly together, combined with the high point in the middle, to win the game.

Although passing the ball in the midfield can bring oppression to the opponent, the shortcomings are also very obvious.

Once the ball is intercepted by the opponent, the gaps on the two sides will be completely exposed.

In the 60th minute of the game, under the active fighting of the Bournemouth team, O'Kane intercepted the ball and quickly handed it to teammate Pugh.

It was the first time for the team to counterattack from defense. Stanislas held his strength and drove straight in after receiving a pass from Pugh.

The team was silent for 60 minutes, and finally it was about to explode. The home fans instantly boiled up, waving the team flag in their hands, and shouting loudly.

After Stanislas dribbled the ball for halftime, facing Schneiderlin who stepped forward, he wanted to make a fake move to deceive the defense and cut to the right.

But the opponent's defense was very stable, and the body instantly defended the past.

Seeing no chance, Stanislas passed the ball to Wilson on the wing.

At this time, the opponent's defense has returned to its position. Wilson took the ball and broke through, but was firmly marked by the full-back Portland.

At the same time, central defender Asahi Yoshida also made up defense.

Wilson, who was very confident in his speed, was also really surprised.

Whether it is in the British Championship or in previous friendships, he can rely on speed to grab half of the position, or even more.

But facing Portland, they couldn't get rid of him.

Wilson pauses suddenly, trying to take advantage of the rhythm change and yearn for a cut.

However, the opponent's body balance is very good, and he can quickly follow the defense and seal his inside angle.

This is the Premier League player.

Wilson felt a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow.

Facing a two-team double-team, Wilson was forced to return the ball to his teammate in the middle, and the opportunity to counterattack was delayed.

In fact, as early as when Stanislas took the ball, the timing of the counterattack was delayed.

The return speed of the Premier League team is much faster than that of the English Championship.

If you want to counterattack, you have to play the ball faster.

Eddie Howe thought for a while, called Rossi to the sidelines, and explained the tactics in his ear.

In the 65th minute of the game, Bournemouth made a substitution, replacing Stanislas with Rossi, and the formation was changed to 4-4-2.

Is this about to attack?

Koeman is puzzled. Although Bournemouth has gained an advantage in the midfield in the past few minutes, it is almost meaningless to want to attack their own team.

Moreover, this black-haired Asian kid is actually a center forward?
In his impression, today's Asian players play in the middle and backcourt in the European league. Their stability and calmness are their characteristics, and their running without hesitation is an important factor to win the trust of the coach and the team.

There are not a few strikers. They have good skills at their feet, good body coordination, and lightness and elegance are the most advantageous weapons.

But at the center position, there seems to be no particularly outstanding player.

Let's take a look.

Koeman did not specifically explain, but let the substitute players warm up and prepare to replace players with physical crisis.

After Rossi came on the field, he formed a strike partner with Kerorgant.

Although the last counterattack did not threaten the goal, the players all saw that the opponent was not without loopholes.

After Rossi entered the field, the midfielder boldly pressed up and gave the ball to Rossi.

Rossi, who took the ball for the first time, didn't make any body movements, and Schneiderlin didn't care when he stepped forward to defend the midfielder.

After all, he had just come on the court, and the pass from his teammate was to give him a sense of the game, and this kid would definitely pass it back.

But just when Rossi was about to touch the ball, he suddenly half-turned, pushed a through ball with the arch of his foot, and hit it between the center back and the full back.

The pass was both sudden and concealed. Before the defensive player had time to react, Wilson turned into a black whirlwind and killed it from between the two.

"Where do you look, how can you pass the ball so easily?"

Koeman was very dissatisfied with the player's defense, and even he didn't expect that the black-haired boy's ability to touch the ball with one foot was too incredible.

After receiving the ball, Wilson rushed towards the opponent's goal. Looking at Portland behind him, he was ecstatic.

It turned out that it was not that I was not fast enough, but that the original ball was passed too late.

As long as the passing opportunity is delayed by 0.1 seconds, it will be posted by the opponent.

Although the full-back Bertrand was thrown off, the central defender Maya Yoshida made a very timely grab. Before Wilson entered the penalty area, he was already level with him.

Yoshida Ma also used his body to resist Wilson to prevent him from continuing to cut inside.

Once the opponent's speed has dropped, he will not hesitate to shovel and destroy the ball.

Wilson saw that he couldn't get rid of the defense for the time being, and once he entered the penalty area, there would be very little space for shooting and passing.

It is better to pass the ball now than to be passive at that time.

Wilson swept the ball towards the goal, and Kemorgant, who was outflanking the center, rushed forward. When he was two meters away from the ball, he lowered his footsteps, adjusted his body, and kicked up to hit the goal.

But another central defender Jose Fonte's defense interfered with his shot angle.

Under the interference, Kerorgant shot furiously with his foot. Although he hit the ball, the position of the ball was not good, and he just poked it with his toe.

Moreover, under the interference, the body lost its balance and did not use its strength at all.

The ball rolled limply towards the goal and was held in the arms of the goalkeeper.

Hey!
The home fans shouted for a while. This was the first shot from the opening so far. Although it missed, there was still warm applause.

And Koeman off the court with a dark face, yelled at the assistant coach: "Who is that black-haired kid?"

　Dare to imagine, Bournemouth was bloodbathed by Liverpool tonight, bloodbath! ! !
