striker cool brother

Chapter 39 Lightning Goal
Bournemouth's next opponent is the League Two team Portsmouth.

Portsmouth won the 2008 FA Cup and two English top league titles.

Due to excessive spending on players, the team has entered trusteeship twice in four years since 2009, and the team has also experienced three relegations in just five years.

From the ace team that once played in the Premier League, to the ordinary team that can only play in the fourth level of the English League, the fans are full of embarrassment.

Rossi got the chance to start, and he formed the team's new striker trident with Comogant and Wilson.

Although it is the center position, the head coach needs Rossi to retreat to get the ball, and distribute the ball to teammates on both sides in the first time.

Although Komogante was not fast, Stanislas, who inserted from the back, was able to dribble the ball from the side under the restraint of the veteran.

At this time, the exchange of Rossi and Comogant gave Bournemouth a high point in outflanking in the middle.

Rossi, who retreated to the wing, can respond to the return pass of his teammates at any time.

After enriching the offensive levels, the team's combat power has been significantly improved. In the first half, Bournemouth led 2:0.

In the second half, the somewhat slack Bournemouth team made mistakes in the defense, and the massive attack formed a void in the defense, and Portsmouth pulled two goals in a row.

This is also a huge problem in the three midfielders of the Bournemouth team. The lateral defensive coverage area is not large, resulting in the two rib spaces being often attacked by opponents.

To put it more bluntly, the single midfielder O'Kane's defense is weak, and it is difficult to make up defenses in time when facing the opponent's lateral transfer.

To solve this, Eddie Howe had Rossi drop in and join the midfield line, forming a diamond in midfield, using high pressure to form a zone press on Portsmouth's midfield and full-backs.

The addition of Rossi allowed the frontcourt offense to advance more quickly.

In the 80th minute of the game, after Bournemouth stole the ball, he guided the ball to Rossi in the frontcourt.

Facing the attacking midfielder, Rossi half-turned and sent a behind-the-back ball, which hit behind the defensive player. Wilson, who jumped in at high speed, strode forward, shook off the chasing full-back, and passed the ball to the goal.

Forward Pittman, who came off the bench, followed up and shot to overtake the score.

3:2! !
Bournemouth surprised the fans with wonderful passes, sharp counterattacks, and a brand new team.

In the remaining two friendly matches, Bournemouth's 4-4-2 diamond position showed its sharpness, strong offensive ability, dazzling passing, and won the opponent with a big score of 3:1 and 4:1. .

At the same time, the team's defense has also been strengthened, and regional pressure and offsides have become an important means for the team's defense stability.

However, Eddie Howe still needs to solve a problem.

Rossi.

In four friendlies, Rossi has only one assist.

Judging from the data alone, this is indeed a bit "unsightly", and it is not even enough to qualify for the competition squad.

However, Rossi averaged 5 key passes per game, the best in the team.

More importantly, Rossi sacrificed offense, participated in the overall operation of the team, and accelerated the rhythm of the midfield. He is the hero behind the team's victory.

If you can release Rossi's offensive and pulling ability on the front line, maybe he can bring more opportunities to the team than if he retreats to the organization.

Rossi raised it, then Eddie Howe had to choose between the striker pair of Comogant and Wilson.

The former joined Bournemouth in the second half of last season, made 16 appearances for the team and scored 9 goals, seamlessly connected with the team's tacit understanding, so that he did not have the slightest discomfort.

And Wilson scored 37 goals in 21 games in League One Coventry last season, and his efficiency is even more amazing.

What a headache!

Eddie Howe never imagined that as Bournemouth manager, he would one day have such blissful troubles.

The new season of the British Championship will start on time at 8:8 pm on August 7th. The opening game is the Blackburn Rovers vs. Cardiff City.

The Bournemouth game was scheduled for 9 pm on the [-]th, and the opponent was Huddersfield.

This opponent Rossi is too familiar. In the penultimate round of last season, his Leicester City team won Huddersfield 2:0 and won the British Championship one round ahead of schedule.

At the pre-match press conference, Eddie Howe announced the roster and starting lineup for the game. Rossi replaced Komogant and formed the team's new striker combination with Wilson.

Wilson was famous in League One last season and deservedly started.But Rossi's start really surprised the media.

Although Komogant is nearly 33 years old, judging from the competitive state he showed last season, he is fully qualified to be the starting center.

Not only that, Randy, Stanislas and Pittman in the team are all players who have played in the British Championship or other first-tier leagues for many years. They are better than Rossi who has only played a few games in the British Championship.

The media is full of doubts about the young marshal's deployment.

As a guest at Huddersfield, Eddie Howe didn't explain too much, he just asked the players to relax and work hard, that's all.

In the player channel, two queues waited to enter the field.

This is the first time for Rossi to play an official game as a starter. He imagined that the moment he walked into the stadium from this player tunnel, he would be greeted by the cheers of the fans.

Under the leadership of the referee, the two sides slowly walked into the John Smith Stadium.

The stadium, which can accommodate 24500 fans, burst into amazing cheers in an instant.

After a simple pre-match ceremony, the captains of both teams guessed sides in the middle circle.

Huddersfield get the side call, while Bournemouth get the kick-off.

Both teams are in position, the referee looks at the second hand on his wrist and puts the whistle in his mouth.

Rossi and Wilson stood at the tee spot in the middle circle, ready to tee off.

drop!
With the whistle of the referee and the boos of the home fans, the first round of the 2014-15 English Championship, Huddersfield Town vs. Bournemouth officially started.

It is very rare for a home team fan to boo at kick-off.

The reason is that last season, when the team played against Leicester City, Rossi came off the bench to play tricks on Huddersfield players when they ensured an early championship.

Since then, he has been blacklisted by fans.

A brat who doesn't understand the world at all.

The on-site commentator was introducing the starting lineups of both sides. When Rossi's name was read, boos sounded again in the stadium.

[Haha, it seems that the fans of the home team still remember the grievances with Luo last season.In this game, the boos that Luo received will be overwhelmed by an unpredictable number of times. I don't know if it will affect his game state. 】

[Okay, after introducing the starting lineups of both sides, let us see what tactics they will adopt. 】

[Bournemouth’s offense uses a 4-4-2 diamond-shaped midfield formation. The advantage of this formation lies in the strong control and offensive power of the frontcourt...]

Hey!
Before the commentator finished speaking, there was a burst of low boos from above the court.

[Wilson passed the defender and passed the ball to Luo in front. The ball was not offside. 】

In less than 1 minute of the start, Bournemouth cut through Wilson from the wing and broke through the defense of the winger.

Facing the defensive full-back, Wilson gave the ball to the starting striker Rossi.

[Luo took the ball into the penalty area, and the defender chased after him, it was too late.Luo faced the attacking goalkeeper to see how he chose. 】

As the commentator's speed of speech increased and his tone intensified, the hearts of the home fans were raised in their throats, and they still remembered booing Rossi.

He didn't even open his voice, so he hit the door?

Facing the goalkeeper, Rossi first takes a step forward with his left foot, while shifting his center of gravity slightly to the left, and then takes a step forward with his right foot.

The center of gravity of the goalkeeper Smithis had already been swayed to his grandma's house. When Rossi gently pushed the ball forward with his right foot, Smithis' buttocks sat heavily on the ground.

[What, my God!Rossi actually resorted to the 'pendulum extraordinary', passed the goalkeeper, and faced the empty goal. 】

[GAOL!The ball is in, the ball is in!In less than a minute, Bournemouth scored a goal. 】

[At this moment, I seem to see Ronaldo possessed. This 'pendulum is extraordinary', whether it is coherence or explosive power, is similar to Ronaldo. 】

[Can you believe that such a wonderful talent came from a little-known young player. 】

【I can tell everyone responsibly that this is the most freehand and most confusing 'Pendulum Extraordinary' I have seen in these years. 】
