Chapter 73 A Tight Schedule

When Rossi was on a day trip to London, Bournemouth were on the road and beat Bolton with ten men. Wilson scored twice to continue their unbeaten run.

Comogant made too much defensive action in the first half and was sent off with a red card, putting the team into a passive position.

In the last two games, the team had some problems on the defensive end, and Eddie Howe had to pay attention to the team's defensive problems.

Improving concentration on the field, mutual understanding and reminders between players can effectively reduce defensive mistakes.

In the 12th round of the league, Bournemouth played at home against Charlton, who has been hovering in the relegation zone.

Eddie Howe adopted a 4-4-2 lineup, deliberately allowing each line and position to complement each other and protect each other, thereby improving the tacit understanding between players.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Bournemouth got off to a fantastic start.

Pugh dribbled the ball laterally on the left side, swayed two defenders, and on the left side of the front of the penalty area, used his right foot to circle a very high-quality arc ball. After hitting the post and popping up, Rossi followed up with a supplementary shot succeed.

【GOAL, the goal is scored! 】

[Although he was suspended for one game, Luo's state is still hot.His sensitive running forward can always appear in unexpected positions. 】

"Boss, Luo seems to have improved again." Assistant coach Patches said: "Just now when he reversed and started, the speed was obviously different from before."

During this period of time, Rossi's explosive power and body coordination training has not stopped, and now he has made significant progress, Eddie Howe nodded with satisfaction.

"At his age, his body and mind are developing rapidly, he is learning fast, and improving quickly. This season, as long as he can guarantee playing time in 35 games, his growth is immeasurable."

The growth of players is not only related to the usual training, but also the accumulation of game experience is very important.

The accumulation of game experience and training during this period has strengthened Rossi's attributes.

Cross: 55 → 56
Header: 62 → 63
Short pass: 59→61
Acceleration: 70→72
Speed: 71→73
Agility: 76→77
Reaction: 71 → 72
Balance: 66→67
Bounce: 60→61
Penalties: 63 → 64
Eddie Howe believes that as long as Rossi maintains a good state, the team will definitely qualify for promotion this season.

After leading the score, the Bournemouth team began to patiently seek pass and control cooperation, turning the game into a half-court offensive and defensive drill.

As a guest, Charlton couldn't press, the formation was very flat, and the ball possession rate in the first half was only 25%.

They also tried to play a defensive counterattack, but the pressure of the two midfielders of the Bournemouth team restricted them from one pass, and the speed could not be played at all.

On the other hand, the Bournemouth team continued to use passes to infiltrate the defense and organized several threatening attacks, but they were all one step away from scoring.

In the 80th minute, Rossi was replaced by Pillman in the applause of the home fans.

He has to prepare for the game against Reading three days later and must conserve his energy.

In the end, Bournemouth also won by one goal and remained unbeaten in the first 12 rounds.

Charlton swallowed the defeat with hatred, and what made them even more angry and helpless was that the Bournemouth team regarded them as training opponents.

The reporter interviewed after the game, naturally aimed at Rossi.

From the first round, Rossi has been in the limelight in the British Championship. Even handball has been boasted by the media as worth millions.

If he continues in this state, then the best player this season must be him.

"After a one-game suspension, your state has not been affected at all. Is there any secret?"

Rossi said: "Maintain high-intensity training. This is what the coach requires every player to do. This may be the secret."

This kid still speaks so nicely.

"It seems that you have fully adapted to the rhythm of the British Championship and life here. Will your performance help you return to the Premier League?"

Rossi said: "Of course, we are now ranked first. This is something everyone will think about. But we can't take it lightly, and we are chasing closely."

Good guy, you actually talked about him from left to right.

"We all know that the team's opponent in the English League Cup has been determined, and it is your old club Leicester City. What do you think about this?"

Rossi said: "I think the ratings will be very hot on the day of the game. You must come then, and I will accept your interview."

Idol, this man is so sophisticated.

That's all right, let me have an exclusive interview.

On October 10, Bournemouth played against Reading at home.

Reading broke into the Premier League in the 12-13 season, and returned to the English Championship after only one season. In terms of strength, it belongs to the upper-middle level.

The Reading team is a typical long pass team, and it is their advantage to compete for high-altitude balls.

After the opening, Blackman's wing breakthrough from the left caught Bournemouth a little off guard.

In the set-piece attack, their high-point competition also made Bournemouth's central defenders Cook and Elphick a little overwhelmed.

Eddie Howe quickly made adjustments, allowing the full-back to step up, strengthen the protection of the midfielder, and limit the opponent's forward penetration.

At the same time, the two sides have to penetrate the opponent's ribs, forming a threat to the midfield.

The fierce battle between the two sides reached the 50th minute, and the Bournemouth team scored first.

Pugh's pass found Wilson who was going forward, and the latter used his speed to overwhelm Reading's defense and went down first.

At this time, the Reading team's physical fitness was already in crisis. When the head coach was about to make substitutions and adjustments, Rossi received a pass from Wilson and succeeded in anti-offside, extending the score to 2:0.

The lagging Reading team caught up after the substitution, although they organized several threatening side attacks.

However, the Reading team, who has already figured out the routine, either the quality of the cross was not good, or the high point in the middle did not grab absolute air superiority, and the header was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper.

The Reading team aggressively attacked, and the defense also had a gap in the 78th minute.

Bournemouth's defensive midfielder Surman launched a long pass from the backcourt to counterattack. Under the pressure of the defender, Rossi knocked the ball with his heel to change direction.

Pittman, who came off the bench, did not waste this opportunity and scored a single-handed goal to expand the lead again.

The Reading team, which was three goals behind, had low morale and was unable to launch a threatening attack. The remaining time was completely dominated by the Bournemouth team.

In the end, Bournemouth won 3:0 and are already in the standings, leading No.2 Norwich by 7 points.

In the next week, the team will have a double match.

Saturday's league opponent is Birmingham, who is ranked tenth.

Tuesday's Carabao Cup opponent is the Premier League team Leicester City.

In this regard, when Eddie Howe faced the media, he bluntly said that the tight schedule caused physical fatigue to the players.

They've played four games in October, with two more to go.

Compared with Birmingham, they only have the last game left this month, so they must be well prepared.

As for Leicester City, they have only played two Premier League games so far.

Physically at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, although the undefeated record is something to be proud of, it will also invisibly put a psychological burden on the players.

How to solve the team's mentality problem is more important than tactical arrangements.

The media have speculated that in Saturday's game, the Bournemouth team will go to the away game to challenge Birmingham with one and a half main lineups.

They must stay focused and concentrate on preparing for the Carabao Cup.

A draw is Bournemouth's primary goal.
