Chapter 75 Happy?snap, gone

Edgar looked in disbelief, he immediately ran to the referee, explained with pleading eyes that his tackle was for rushing the ball, and hoped that the referee could change the penalty.

However, the referee's firm eyes told him that this was a tackle from behind, which was a dangerous move, and the red card was beyond doubt.

Edgar bowed his head and left sadly.

"Ro, are you okay!"

Rossi stood up with Wilson's support, and putting a shovel behind his back could easily cause serious ankle injuries.

Therefore, in order to protect the players, FIFA imposes severe penalties for dangerous actions such as tackles behind the back and raising the feet too high.

Even if the game escapes, punishment will be added afterwards.

"It's okay, just move around and it will be fine."

Rossi sighed secretly. With his current physical fitness, this "pendulum" passed the goalkeeper, but the speed and explosive power to keep up were not enough, which led to being caught up by Edgar behind him.

If Da Luo had come in person, he would have already been shaking his fingers to celebrate.

Eddie Howe, who was off the court, was worried, and immediately sent the team doctor to check, and he was not relieved until he gave an accurate answer.

Too much deceit.

Luo has become a single-handedly, and he also tackles the ball from behind, which is a hurtful move.

Now that you have one less person, how can you still fight?
"Hey!"

Eddie Howe yelled at the players on the field, making a push forward gesture with both hands, signaling them to attack.

Birmingham, who wanted to play hard, was sent off in less than 10 minutes.

Clark couldn't be happy, and quickly removed forward Wes Thomas and replaced midfielder Davis, forming a 3-5-1 formation.

Poor Wes, hadn't had a few minutes of fun before he was sacrificed to a teammate's reckless tackle.

Bournemouth won an indirect free kick from outside the penalty area. Ritchie dropped the ball into the penalty area. Birmingham, who had one less man, made a mistake in marking. There was no tacit understanding between the players, and Pittman easily headed the goal.

0:1! ! !

Bournemouth head start away.

After conceding the goal, Clarke encouraged the players, the game has just begun, and there is still a chance to tie the score.

The Birmingham team shrunk their defense and took advantage of the number of five midfielders to form protection on both ribs, thereby limiting the opponent's side attack.

Once you get the ball, launch a counterattack on the spot and pass the ball to Donaldson on the front line.

This requires the two wing guards to have enough physical strength to be able to withdraw while attacking.

This tactic depends on whether the Bournemouth team is still on the defensive.

However, Eddie Howe was very dissatisfied with Birmingham's move to uproot Rossi.

He just wanted a draw, but the opponent actually took advantage of him, wanted to take all three points, and wanted to injure himself as the leading shooter.

Can't bear it.

The dignified "young school" coach, how could he swallow this breath, he must attack.

Under the instructions of the head coach, all Bournemouth players turned into "mad dog" mode and began to press the frontcourt crazily.

The incomprehensible Birmingham team, when holding the ball and trying to attack from the wing, immediately encountered a very oppressive man-to-man defense.

What's going on, why are their eyes red, so scary.

Didn't it mean that they didn't dare to attack aggressively?

The bewildered Birmingham players passed the ball hastily, but the opponent's pressure was very fast and decisive, forming a powerful deterrent virtually.

Drop, Bournemouth midfielder Harry fouled and got a yellow card.

Drop, Bournemouth defender Cook fouled and received a yellow card.

Drop, Bournemouth midfielder Surman fouled and received a yellow card.

Three consecutive yellow cards within 10 minutes, although they were all given to the visiting team, but Birmingham had a fear in their hearts, which was the fear of Bournemouth's frenzied pressing.

Anytime, anywhere, they feel that the ball will be broken under their feet.

So after getting the ball, immediately pass the ball in a hurry.

In the 35th minute, Bournemouth's pressing attack finally paid off.

After Rich made a steal in the frontcourt, he immediately launched a counterattack, kicked a pass, and passed it directly to Wilson who was advancing.

Rossi's containment effect was played at one time, creating a 1v1 opportunity for Wilson.

Wilson swayed the angle with a fake move, the fake shot came true, completely threw the defender away, and knocked the goal with a burst shot, extending the score to 0:2.

In the 40th minute, the Birmingham team made another frontcourt error.

After Suleman intercepted the ball, he passed it to the frontcourt. Wilson quickly broke through the bottom line and passed the ball back to Rossi at the penalty spot. The latter easily ate the cake.

0:3! ! !

This was only the first half, and the Birmingham team had given the home fans a feeling of the end of the world.

During the intermission, Clark still encouraged the players to stabilize the defense first, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Because the Bournemouth team will definitely pull back in the second half, this is the opportunity.

The Birmingham team regained a little confidence and launched a counterattack at the beginning of the second half. Unfortunately, the cross was cleared by Cook.

This attack also allowed the fans to see the changes in the team. They sang in unison to cheer for the team.

But Richie of the Bournemouth team immediately used a flying shovel and told Birmingham, be careful, we didn't stop.

Although he received a yellow card, Rich used his actions to instantly wipe out the fighting spirit that had just been ignited by his opponent.

There are more people than us, and they are more active than us in running. How can we fight?
The coach lied, they didn't accept it, it was obviously killing people.

At this moment, the players of the Birmingham team could no longer feel happy.

In the 52nd minute, Elphick fouled in the penalty area. Not only did he get a yellow card, but he also gave his opponent a penalty kick.

However, Cadiz missed the penalty in front of the strong pressure of the Bournemouth team.

His mind is completely broken.

In the 56th minute, Gosling replaced Harry and Rand replaced Rossi.

In the 63rd minute, Pugh received a cross from defender Francis and broke the goal with a header he was not good at.

0: 4!

Five minutes later, there was another dream connection between Pugh and Francis. This time Pugh stopped the ball with his chest and volleyed the goal.

0: 5!

The Birmingham team has been completely stunned, and they have no power to parry at all. Their despair and helplessness are undoubtedly revealed on their faces.

In the 71st minute, Ryan Fraser replaced Wilson, leaving him free for Tuesday's Carabao Cup.

In the 82nd minute, Pugh received a through ball from the midfielder Gosling, successfully reversed offside, and scored the ball.

While rewriting the score to 0:6, he also completed the first hat trick of his career.

Two minutes later, Landy, who came off the bench, hit the defender's arm with a shot, and the referee awarded a penalty kick.

Randy achieved it overnight, and the score has reached 0:7.

Now the Birmingham team only hopes that the game will end as soon as possible, and the home fans have also left the field, shouting "get out of class".

In the 86th minute, Landy received a pass from Rich and scored his second goal of the game, at the same time giving the Birmingham team the biggest score difference in more than 100 years.

The "happy football" that Clark advocated, at the moment when Edgar shoveled to Rossi, it was gone.

Eddie Howe said in a post-match interview that football is joy, but discipline must be serious.

Happiness is to infect players and form a good atmosphere in the team, not an excuse for players to make mistakes.

Although Birmingham players can take the initiative to take responsibility for mistakes after making mistakes, they feel that admitting mistakes can cover up the essence of mistakes, which is simply an excuse for laziness.

Birmingham's "happy football" is actually an expression of laxity and lack of fighting spirit within the team.

After losing 0 goals to Bournemouth, Birmingham officially announced that Clark was dismissed and Gary Lovett took office.

Eddie Howe took his team back to Bournemouth to prepare for the League Cup.
