Chapter 62 Not Appearing, Crisis?
Saturday's league opponent is Rotherham.

This team was promoted from League One only in the new season.

In the first five rounds of the league, they achieved a record of 2 wins and 3 losses.

The media agreed that they could not bring trouble to Bournemouth.

But Eddie Howe didn't think so. This team not only successfully upgraded last season, but also won the British Championship. Their strength should not be underestimated.

Before the game, there were reports about Rossi's sloppy training, and in this game, Rossi was placed on the bench, and the fans added a little more credibility to the reports.

In the first half, Bournemouth, who played at home, launched a fierce offensive. The possession of the ball brought by the diamond-shaped midfielder made Rotherham, who was a guest, under pressure for a while.

But despite this, under the tenacious defense of the Rotherham team in the away game, they still withstood the offensive of the Bournemouth team.

At the end of the first half, the Rotherham team also organized an attack from the right, causing a dangerous situation in front of the goal.

[In the first half, gaining momentum and not scoring was a problem that the Bournemouth team had to solve during the halftime break. 】

[Will Luo come off the bench in the second half? 】

[It is said that Luo was sloppy in the team training game and was placed on the bench. Is it true that he was punished by the head coach as the media said. 】

[However, in my opinion, the Bournemouth team that lacks Luo is lacking in counterattack speed.Komogant is an attacking player. He is good at headers and bridgeheads, but he still has to rely on Luo to counterattack. 】

At the beginning of the second half, Bournemouth still maintained possession of the ball. Compared with the first half, they were more stable in offense and tried to be more efficient.

Harry Art and Ricky, who have returned from injury, have become the team's organizers and metronomes, constantly seeking opportunities from the middle.

Rotherham's 4-4-1-1 lineup is to give up possession and use a flat midfield line to limit Bournemouth's side attack.

Under such circumstances, the Bournemouth team can only threaten the goal with a long pass or a long shot.

Hey!
After Komogant missed the goal, he covered his face unwillingly, and the home fans immediately applauded and encouraged.

[Today, the Bournemouth team seemed to be almost lucky, and they were just a hair away from the goal. 】

[Rotherham is defending with determination, the defense line is very tight, and they can't even come out. Wilson's speed can't be played at all. This is really a headache for the Bournemouth team. 】

[I think the Bournemouth team should make substitutions and adjustments. Comogant doesn't get much support, and Wilson can't give full play to his advantages. 】

[Sure enough, Eddie Howe is already adjusting, and Fraser is waiting to play. 】

After Ryan Fraser came on, Bournemouth adjusted the lineup to 4-3-3 and increased the number of strikers.

In the 65th minute of the game, due to the tight defense of the Rotherham team, they basically gave up control of the midfield. After O'Kane got the ball, he easily advanced to the half.

Harry and Rich quickly moved forward to the densely defensive sides, attracting the defense and creating opportunities for the two sides.

However, O'Kane did not pass the ball to the safety of the two wide teammates, or pass back to the full-back.

And he forced the ball to the feet of Rich, who was double-teamed.

The two ribs are the focus of Rotherham's defense. The moment Rich got the ball, he was double-teamed by three people.

And the left central defender Anason has also blocked Rich's passing line.

This is the rhythm of losing the ball.

Unless you have Iniesta, don't even think about getting out of the double-team.

Richie is certainly not Iniesta, and Rotherham are not Italy.

At the moment when the double-team was formed, Rich passed the ball out in a small space.

Comogant advanced forward, ran out of space, leaned against the defender's defense with his body, and raised his foot to shoot.

This was Comogant's best chance so far.Since Rossi came, he changed from the main force last season to a substitute.

This is the awareness that a veteran must have, the awareness to make way for young people.

However, at the age of 33, he does not accept his old age, he can still play, at least this season, he feels that his competitive state has not regressed.

This goal must be scored to prove that I am not old.

This defender is only one year younger than himself, so he doesn't suffer from physical confrontation.

Komogant took a step with his left foot, seemingly with all his strength, while swinging his right foot.

This step is very critical, it just blocks the route blocked by the defender and creates space for the next shot.

It is years of experience that have brought him shooting awareness and muscle memory.

Rotherham central defender Anason could only shovel from his side.

But he was a step too late, as Comogant seemed to have the legs of a 23-year-old, and he finished the shot before he put the tackle.

boom!
The ball passed between the goalkeeper's legs, went straight to the far corner of the goal, and rushed into the net.

[GOAL! ! ! ! 】

[The goal has been scored, veteran Komogant finally scored. 】

[The Bournemouth team really dare to play, the tactics are very clear, and they are playing against Rotherham's two ribs. 】

[It is very easy to lose the ball here. It is entirely due to Rich's personal ability to force the rib space of the Rotherham team. 】

[Perhaps Adams himself did not expect that the opponent dared to fight.Eddie Howe is really bold. 】

After taking the lead, Rotherham strengthened their rib protection.

The Bournemouth team that scored goals no longer needed to hit the ribs to take the initiative.

Anxiety instead came to the Rotherham team. They only wanted to score a point, but now they have to attack.

[Rotherham has already fought its last battle, and now is the opportunity to counterattack. Luo should be sent to the field to strengthen the counterattack speed. 】

[What, wait!It turned out that center Pittman and midfielder Suleman were waiting to play on the sidelines. It seems that the head coach did not intend to send Luo to play in this game. 】

[I used to think this was just a tactical arrangement, but I didn’t expect that, as the media said before the game, Luo was put on the bench because of his laziness in training. 】

[This is not good news for Bournemouth, which has won consecutive victories, and may affect unity. 】

In the rest of the game, Bournemouth did not expand the score, and finally defeated the opponent 1:0, winning six consecutive league victories.

Compared with the winning streak, the news that Rossi sat on the bench for the whole game attracted more attention from the media.

Some media highly praised Eddie Howe's iron-fisted methods, cleaning up the locker room, which is the secret of the team's winning streak.

There are also media hype that Eddie Howe suppressed Luo, who is in hot form, because of a trivial matter, which will intensify the conflict. In addition, Rossi is only on loan and is likely to leave the team during the winter break.

The good press was at Bournemouth's training ground during Tuesday's intra-team training session.

A report on Rossi's availability at the weekend has been running through their minds.

However, Rossi did not appear in the training game and trained alone in the gym.

The media couldn't get the material, so they had to speculate about the cause and effect of this incident from other aspects.

In short, in the key game against Leeds United on Saturday, Rossi's appearance became one of the heat of the game.

In the big list of Bournemouth, Rossi is still placed on the bench.
